The Ministry of Transportation and Highways hosted the open house at the Brilliant Cultural Centre to give the public a chance to review and comment on five Proposed sites for the bridge. “*It was very well atterided, we were very pleased,”” said Barry Eastman, the Highways Ministry's regional manager. A second open house is scheduled for March 26 at the Fireside Motor Inn from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. A public meeting will follow at 7:30 p.m. starting with.a brief presentation ‘‘of what we’ve uncovered to date and of some of the things we've been asked to pursue,”” East- man said, A question-and-answer period will follow the presentation. “(The open houses) are to make people in the community aware of what's going on so they can come better informed to ask detailed questions,’ Eastman said. Eastman said the ministry won’t choose a site for the bridge until it completes its review of public input. But when pressed for his opinion, he said a site just west (upstream) of the existing ferry ramps seems most favorable. The ministry has labelled the location Site No. 3. “Until we finish.ous analysis, 1 woulda't want to say which site was most preferred,"’ he said. ‘A lot of people I spoke to liked Site 3, but there were some other People, for their own reasons, who had other preferen- ces."" The ministry’s preliminary site studies rate Site No. 3 as the best overall. While it has the highest price tag — about $20.75 million — the ministry says a bridge at that location would have the least conflict. with existing amen baked thus weadiel " corridor, pose no threat to known archeological sites or fish spawning areas and provide free-flowing movement for large volumes of industrial traffic. The least popular, by informal indications so far, is Site No. 1 which would cross close to the train bridge. Summary of sites, page A3 Site No. 1 is one of the least expensive options — about $17.9 million — and would be the easiest bridge to build, but the preliminary studies have also proved it will have the most conflicts with utilities, services and the environment, as well as causing severe social conflic- ts. Castlegar resident Dave Sylvest agrees. He said Site No. 1 would have the ‘‘worst effects”’ on many residents who would lose their homes on the Castlegar side of the river to make way for the bridge. As well, building a bridge at that location would disrupt fish spawning grounds. “From what I can gather, the third site seems the best for everybody all around,”’ he said in an interview with the Castlegar News. ‘‘Three people live across thé Street from Johnny's (Grocery) and they apparently would have to go, but other than that, there wouldn’t be any other direet impact.’’ He said he hopes the public input process will have an impact on the final decision. However, he said he would have “preferred if someone would have knocked on my door’’ during the study to let him know that the please see BRIDGE page A3 pre yes! this.

That’s how he described the feeling of wanting new challenges, and then finding them. And while that’s a great feeling, it also means Castlegar is losing a long-time educator and former politician. Rogers recently accepted a position as superintendent of schools in the North Thompson school district. He'll leave his position as district principal of special services with the Castlegar school district May 20. He and his wife, Susanne, will live in Clearwater, a semi-rural area about 120 kilometres north of Kamloops. Rogers, 50, has lived in bresag ef for the past 16 time, he spent five years as 3 alderman, seven-and-a-half years on the hospital board, and every year serving the education system, Over the past few years, Rogers applied for other superintendent ions, but said “‘it wouldn’t have killed me’ if he'd never succeeded in N Forum draws By BARBARA TANDORY Special to the Castlegar News Castlegar citizens had a chance to voice opinions and feelings on Canada’s future at a Spicer Com- mission hearing held Thursday and Friday. Not many took it, but those who attended the evening sessions at Selkirk College did so.with feeling. The federal commission, officially called the Citizen's Forum on Canada’s Future, has been initiated as an exercise in grassroots democracy, with numerous stops in local communities since January. January. But it was the Canadian government’s disregard for grassroots democracy that first came under attack by one of the nine participants at the forum Thur- sday evening. Fred Marsh, a retired Robson resident, opened the discussion on what’s wrong with Canada with a local example — the sale of West Kootenay Power, in 1987, to the U.S.-based UtiliCorp United Inc. of Kansas City, Mo. Marsh — who remains an setive member of the Electric C — remin- ded the group of a citizens’ survey that showed that 97 per cent of the respondents were in favor of retaining Canadian ownership of the utility. The sur- vey was conducted and then disregarded by then- Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco, a government mem- ber, Marsh noted. “We had a very strong grassroots movement,” he said of the consumers group that numbered more than 7,000 in the Koot and Ok: Another participant, Castlegar bookstore owner Peter Popoff, agreed that Canada needs a gover- nment more responsible to its grassroots. “If we have an MP or an MLA who does not sound our voice, we have to have some mechanism by which people can have control over their represen- tative," Popoff said. But a number of others argued in favor of good elected leadership over government by popular con- sent. Castlegar doctor John Walton said he agreed with Popoff’s sentiment but issued a strongly worded caution: “‘There’s a great danger (in grassroots democracy) because you end up having. a governm- ent by referendum.” __ Citing'2 personal concern over public opinion being shaped by the ‘TV media,’’ Walton observed: “Often we're ruled by the collective ignorance. People need to be led since most issues are so com- plex that we don’t really understand them."” Walton's perspective was endorsed by Bert Port, @ sociology instructor at Selkirk College, who said he feared a system of in which emotional responses at college by Thor Aasland, a Bel Maintenance employee from Rossland. “We have to reduce the level of distrust in Canada,"’ Warner said Also hotly debated was the future of Quebec and the question of national unity. Craig Andrews, one of those willing to allow the province of Quebec a special status within Canada, spoke passionately for the concept of a unitéd Canada, even at the cost of granting Quebec’s many demands in recognition that it is a distinct society. Andrews, the director of Selkirk College’s con- tinuing education and international education Programs, said he was prepared to work ‘‘to save the union.” But others, including Port, felt that that would be an unequal deal, in relation to the other provinces, and recommended that sovereignty for Quebec represented the best long-term solution. “It seems to me to be a contradiction to have a country within a country,”’ Port said, citing ‘‘the en- diess list of demands’’ by Quebec. Port said he supported the federalist vision of Canada as articulated by former Liberal prime minister Pierre Trudeau, noting that the concentrated efforts to accommodate Quebec may be detrimental to Canada’s futur: and futile. The Trudeau vision of Canada emerged again in a discussion of native rights and land claims, one of the key points of the national commission's agenda The participants at the forum generally agreed that past injustices should be put right and the claims settled. Marsh evoked Trudeau’s ideal of the ‘‘just society’” and offered it as a model. “We have to start where we are now,"’ he said, noting that blaming the early settlers should be put to rest in the process. ‘And the only guide we have to use is Pierre Trudeau’s-call for ‘Justice in our time. Marsh strongly urged a change in federal leader ship, blaming the Mulroney adpalienr for a divisive and Policy o! oe laws and its po Rl alliance with the es, lam , and I do not like it,” he said. ‘Sometimes 1 feel like (the Roman statesman) Cato the Elder who used to end every speech with “Carthage must be destroyed!’ So I will end by saying, ‘Before we can do anything constructive, the Mulroney administration must be turfed out!’ "’ ‘ The input from the citizens forum will be for warded as a written report by moderators Bruce and Nancy Ketchum, a husband-and-wife team of Selkirk are “‘governing to secure the favor of the ignorant.’’ Port said his concern was ‘‘about the quality of our elected officials,"’ adding, ‘‘I'd be Pretty reluc- tant to be ruled by popular consensus.’ Another Selkirk instructor, lanthe Warner, said a Sehieved that apathy rather than ignorance was the problem with Canadian people and dismissed as unworkable a bape of were also asked to make in- dividual reports to be included in the group report The citizen's forum is expected to continue touring into April and the final report is scheduled to appear in July.

The city issued a permit earlier shis week to Argo Industries of Kamloops, the main contractor currently working onthe Celgar site, to extract and haul the gravel from an area known as the West Kootenay properties above the Selkirk Avenue residential area. The permit allows Argo to extract 12,000 cubic metres of gravel — about 600 truck loads — in the “initial phase’ of the work, said Kenn Hample, Castlegar’s director of engineering and public works. “We're monitoring to see if there’s any impact on traffic, in ter- ms of delays or interference with traffic,” he said Thursday. ‘‘We're also looking to see if there’s any damage to our roads."" Hample said the terms of the per. mit call for Argo to control any dust created by the work, and to lan dscape and clean up the property where the gravel is extracted. He said the city is now looking at issuing a permit for a second phase of the work But allegations the city is charging a “‘toll’” for allowing the trucks to roll through the city are simply un- true, Hample and Mayor Audrey Moore said. “The city is not charging a fee for people to use the public highway,” Moore said Thursday. She said the permit includes a fee for removing the gravel under the *s soil extraction bylaw. Gravel is considered soil. The city’s current fee for soil ex- tractions is $10 for 81 to 750 cubic metres and $100 for every additional 7,500 cubic metres over 750 cubic metres, Hample said. Moore called the fee ‘‘miniscule’’ and said the city hasn’t adjusted the fee since 1979. She said the city received just one complaint on Monday, the day Argo began removing the gravel “People are exercising a lot of un derstanding,’* Moore said. The gravel is required to prepare a firm base for the foundations of the new mill's recovery boiler, pulping group, machine room and the con- struction camp, Celgar said in a Public notice in Saturday's Castlegar News. Argo has applied for a permit to Temove up to 126,000 cubic metres of gravel from the site Ministry taking kinks out of Pass Creek Rd. By DONNA ZUBER Staff Writer The- challenging and oc- casionally treacherous hairpin turns and blind corners of Pass Creek Road between the falls and Broad- water Road may soon be a@ thing of the past The Ministry of Transportation and Highways is slowly but surely preparing to straighten out a few upgrade i “We're just doing a bit at a time,”’ Bodnarchuk said, ‘We're doing it as a bit of long-term project because, as with everything, it's sub- ject to funding.’’ Bodnarchuk said he couldn't say when construction would actually start “Until | see our budget, I really can't comment,"" he said, adding that the Pass Creek Road project is part of the ministry's ongoing five- year plan in which the ministry assesses projects on a district-wide priority basis as fundieg becomes available. To date, the ministry has put
