Open Sundays?

Get your credit cards handy,
Sunday. shopping is here. Well,
almost here. There are still a tew
‘minor formalities that must be
dispensed with. ~

For. instance, Castlegar council
must give third reading and then
final approval to the bylaw
permitting stores to open on
holidays and Sundays.

And just because _ the
referendum was approved doesn't
mean council has to proceed with
the bylaw. Council could just as
easily decide it doesn’t want
holiday shopping and let the bylaw
die at second reading.

While. its’ unlikely that will
happen given the fact a majority of
voters indicated that they want
holiday shopping, some members
of council have already wattled on
the bylaw.

In the flush of her election
victory, Mayor Audrey Moore said
she isn’t sure voters. gave a yes or
no to holiday shopping.

Ald. Albert Calderbank ° said
much the same thing when he
noted that council would have had
an easier time deciding on holiday
shopping if voters. had given a
clear indication either for or
against it.

As it was, the bylaw was
approved by a slim 75 votes — 988
to 913, or 52 per cent to 48 per
cent.

To some extent, Mrs. Moore and
Mr. Calderbank have a point. More
than 900 voters said they don't
want holiday shopping and felt

strongly enough. about it to iurn
out to the polls and put an X beside
“no” on the referendum ballot.
That's a considerable number of
residents opposed to holiday
shopping. *
But, for a moment, consider
what would have happened if the
reterendum wasn't about holiday
shopping. What if the reterendum
asked us to approve a new library
or pool? If that referendum had
received a mere 52 per cent
acceptance, would council now be
wondering if it should go ahead?

Gerry, Wanless, well-known local
athlete and Mrs. Wanless were feted”
on Friday, Nov. 17 at a ‘banquet ‘and

of the various Castlegar ball teams and

appreciation for the work which Gerry

referendum being discussed. It
Ald. Bob MacBain had received 48
per cent of the vote instead of 35
per cent he did get, would Mrs.
Moore be wondering whether she
should assume the mayor's chair?
Not likely. Like any politician,
she'd say thank you very much and
give her acceptance speech.

That's how it should be with the
holiday shopping referendum.
Castlegar voters approved Sunday
shopping. And whether it was by
75 votes, 1,000 votes or just one
vote, all that matters is it was a
simple majority.

The other hurdle for holiday
shopping is of course that it is left
upto the stores to open: on

days and holidays. C
shoppers could — still tind
themselves restricted to watching
football on TV Sundays if none of
the local -businesses decide to
open.

Board given facelift

The Castlegar school board

- hasn't simply taken on a new look

as a result of last weekend's

trustee elections; it's had a

complete facelift, a facelift that
really began two years ago.

Five of the seven school trustees
did not sit-on the board just two
years ago. Kay Johnson, Gordon
Turner and Rick Pongracz were
elected in 1984, followed this year
by Ed-Conroy and Tony Guglielmi.

Only George Anutooshkin and
chairman Doreen Smecher are
holdovers. And if Mr. Anutooshkin
hadn‘t. received such .over-
whelming support from  Ootis-
chenia voters, there could very
well have been another new face
on the board.

The changes are no surprise —
and no coincidence. The five
newcomers were run as
alternatives to the incumbents
after some parents and others in
the community decided the board
needed to change direction.

It's clear from the election last
year and again this year that
voters agreed. Mrs. Johnson ran as
an alternative candidate last year
and topped’ the polls. Mr.
Guglielmi had much the same
platform this year and he too
topped the polls.

With the five alternative
candidates holding a_ hefty
majority, expect a major shift in
board policies. Expect also the
board to have more open meetings
and discuss more things in public
— those were planks in the
platforms of nearly all five trus-
tees.

Also” look for the board's
relationship with teachers and
non-teaching employees to change
— atleast outwardly.

Still, the major change will be
the way the board deals with the
provincial government. Things like
a needs budget shouldn't have any
difficulty gaining board approval
now. “

Quotable Quotes

SOVIET OFFICIALS faced a barrage
of questions in Geneva this week
during the two-day superpower sum-
mit.

One official, asked if the Soviet
Union would support talks with the

anti-Marxist—guerrillas—fighting—the-

Soviet-backed Afghan government,
refused to answer directly. He said
such questions are up to the Marxist
Afghan government of President Bab-
rak Karmal.

“The Soviet Union has two aims,” he
said. “Afghanistan should be a neutral,
non-aligned and friendly state toward
the Soviet Union.”

BRITAIN’S Iron Lady, Margaret
Thatcher, denied this week that her
cabinet is a “one-woman band.”

“I don't know where people have got
this idea from — that they are all yes
men. Believe you me, they're not. I
wish they were a bit more sometimes,”
she said.

A. MINNESOTA man has been
walking backwards since July 4 and
says he Will continue to walk back-
wards for some time yet.

“I got tired of people telling me, “You
have todo things this way; you have to
do this,’ " Marvin Staples said. “I want
to do it my way. It’s my right to believe
what I want to believe.” =

A WISCONSIN couple want to give
fellow yuppies something new and

expensive to sink their teeth into —
chocolate-covered potato chips at $39 a
kilogram.

“We're yuppies”, says Hollis Savin,
32. “We don't just want potato chips,
we want chocolate-covered potato
chips.” =

THREE MEN tried to sell drugs’ toa
young woman who stopped to aid
victims of a car crash and then stole her
purse, and snatched a gold chain from
her neck.

Suzanne _ Cummings, 18, said the
incident happened in Boynton Beach,
Florida after she stopped to help when
she saw a vehicle hit a police car.

“I'm very bitter,” she said. “Talk
about taking advantage of a bad
situation.”

JUNIOR FINANCE minister Barb-
ara McDougall appeared this week as a
witness before the. first televised
hearing of a Senate committee, and she
did so sporting two black eyes.

But the minister, who has taken a
political bashing in recent months over
the government's involvement in the
collapse of two banks, managed to put a
light face on it all.

“I'm feeling a little more colorful
than usual,” she told members of the
Senate banking committee and the
cameras as she explained she was the
victim of an errant tennis racket.

Letter doesn’t ring true

Editor, Castlegar News:

Somehow, the rantings of Mr.
Chernenkoff (Nov. 10 letter to the
Editor) regarding the three “poor,”
“defenceless" Freedomite women

- (Jmaeff, Braun and Ostofooroff) and

the “death sentence” they so un-
deservedly received from judges “in-
fluenced by ignorant people who
accepted laws of the satanists for the
law of God,” don't ring true.

These judges, according to Mr.
Chernenkoff, “believe the burning of a
papershack is a major crime,” but he
makes no mention of the burning of the
Doukhobor Village Museum.

After reading the whole letter it
truly seems the author has to get his
own marbles straight.

On the one hand he says these
women “sacrifice themselves in all
sincerity, unaware they are being used
for evil purposes by the scoundrels”.
On the other — and immediately
following — he justifies their actions by

saying, “They are only trying to warn”

us of much greater criminals who are
plotting to destroy all the living

Mulroney’s fault 9”

Editor, Castlegar News:

It is rather incredible what the
electorate seems to expect of a
politician. I wonder just how many
people could measure even half-way up
to what they expect from our prime
minister, premier and other political
leaders. I find it ridiculous that a few
months after all the big hullabulloo
about Brian Mulroney being raked over
the coals for one of his ministers
wanting to hire his sons’ law firm for
some government work, Mulroney is
now being raked over the coals for
what I feel is not his fault: the tuna
thing.

I don’t know what the actual facts
are regarding the tuna ‘scare, and
perhaps we will never know all the
details, but I have, faith in Brian
Mulroney. If he says he didn't know
about it; his word is good enough for
me.

For the doubting Thomases, just try
getting a message through to the top
unless you happen to be lucky enough
to find a-direct pipeline. Many people
working under an official such as the
prime minister ‘are so self-important
they feel they can handle the situation
themselves. Some feel justified in not
bringing it to the prime minister's
attention, thinking they don’t want to
bother him with it as he has so much on
his mind already.
