Replying to .Kristiansen's charges that thé Canadian energy sector will be “put beyond our national control,” Brisco pointed out that the free-trade pact only endorses Canada's existing international obligations under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) and the International Energy Agency (IEA). “Perhaps Lyle Kristiansen opposes the GATT, and if so, he is out of step with his party, with Canadians, and the 97 member countries of GATT. Perhaps he does not believe that allied nations should share energy resources during a time of crisis,” Brisco said in a prepared release. “Perhaps he believes that energy customers should not be treated fairly by suppliers during times of shortage. “That is what the GATT and the IEA commit us to do; that's all the free-trade agreement commits us to do — nothing more, nothing less. “Kristiansen's suggestions that the free-trade agreement will prevent us from enforcing environmen FUNDING continued from front page replace the present large conventional bus. With two buses replacing one, “there is obviously going to be quite a big improvement,” Calderbank said. He called the meeting with BC Transit officials “one of the highlights” of the convention Ald. Patti: Richards, who was acting mayor at Tuesday's council meeting in Mayor Audrey Moore's absence, added that the city is hoping federal funds will pay for part of the paratransit costs. Richards said Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco has already indicated he is working on the funding. City officials also met with the provincial Highways Ministry. However, Calderbank said the city “wasted our time.” “I don't think we got very far there,” he said, though council made the ministry aware of its concerns, among them the highways interchange, an alternate truck route and the problem on Highway 3A at the airport entrance. “My general opinion is we're going to have to meet with the highways minister,” Calderbank said Richards said the city also met with officials from the Environment Ministry to discuss Celgar Pulp Co.'s pollution control variance permits and PCB storage sites in the_area. As well, aldermen spoke with parks branch officials about improvements to Syringa Creek Provincial Park, including the installation of showers in the campground and sani-dump stations along the Arrow Lakes for boaters. Act in Canadian history.” The new hes which introduces heavy fines and new tough jail sentences for polluters, is not affected by the free-trade agreement because the agreement does not allow the U.S. to penalize us for environmental regulations, said Brisco, On the topic of acid rain, Brisco stated that seven federal/provincial agreements to cut sulphur dioxide emissions in half by 1994 have been signed, and the federal government is spending $300 million to make sure it happens. Brisco stressed that Canada's pressure on the U.S. is paving the way for a comprehensive acid rain treaty — a first for Canada. “Canadians will have to compare real action on the environment by this government to the empty rhetoric of the NDP. “As chairman of the Standing Committee on Environment and Forestry, I initiated a committee inquiry on the subject of herbicides and_ pesticides, which is looking at the broad spectrum of concerns, both nationally and in Kootenay West,” explained Brisco. “Various witnesses who have already appeared and those who are scheduled to appear, represent agriculture, environment, industry and government interests. We are all striving for one common goal — achieve a fair and environmentally safe option for all Canadians. “The free-trade agreement would ensure that imported food meets the same regulatory requirements and undergoes the same level of inspection as domestic food. If this can be done and at the same time enhance export opportunities for the Cagadian farmer, we should not hesitate.” Brisco said he is shocke¢ that Kristiansen has stated his opposition to t 1986 Canada-U.S. agreement on transborder shipments of dangerous goods. “Before the agreement, there were no uniform regulations governing these shipments. Perhaps Mr. Kristiansen is not aware that B.C. is a net exporter of waste. If all transborder shipments of waste are stopped, where does Lyle Kristiansen plan to store B.C.’s waste? “If Mr. Kristiansen had read the free-trade agreement as carefully as he claims, he would have seen that article 407 .. . demonstrates that environmental protection measures, including export and import restrictions, are permitted under the agreement,” said Brisco. “I would suggest that Mr. Kristiansen turns his attention to the relevant issues in the free-trade debate, such as how his party would provide new jobs and secure jobs for the people of Kootenay West-Revel- stoke. Ed Broadbent says we don't need this agreement or any other alternative to protect jobs from American protectionism. Kids get special account By CasNews Staff In a bid to attract more business and teach children about banking, 4 local credit union is offering new services for young bankers, Kootenay Savings Credit Union has embarked on a program that will not only offer youngsters a better return on their savings, but it hopes will also attract their parents. Brent Tremblay, KSCU's division manager for marketing and planning, said the recently-introduced program is gaining popularity among young bankers and their families. “We want to get the youngsters learning about basic banking ser- vices,” he told the Castlegar News. “We're also getting a lot of business from mom and dad and grandma and grandpa as well.” The “Kootenay Kids” account now offers youngsters a better rate of interest on their savings. Kids can now earn 5.75 per cent on their deposits, no matter how much they have in their account. The credit unio: used to offer 2.75 per cent on a youngster’s account, unless there was $1,000 or more in the account. Then the interest a youngster earned was the 5.75 per cent that is now offered on any amount in a deposit. As well, the credit union has dropped all service charges on a youngster’s account. Kids can now write cheques, use a bank machine and receive a monthly statement for no charge. In order to get the program off the ground, the credit union is offering T-shirts to youngsters who deposit $50 into a Kootenay Kids account for the first time. As well, the ‘credit union is holding draws for prizes until January.

He wrote out a cheque for the amount and hand-delivered it to News the property would not have been sold for 16 cents. He said the parcel would have been removed from the list of proper- ties up for sale at the time of the auction. “This is the wonder of com- puters,” Gairns said, pointing out that the city hall computer is city hall on Tuesday. Nekleva, who isn’t taking the whole situation too seriously, pointed out that the city wasted 37 cents on a stamp in order to retrieve the overdue taxes, in effect losing 21 cents on the deal — not to mention the cost of processing the final notice. Gairns assured the Castlegar d to spit out form letters to all property owners delinquent on their taxes. However, he admitted Ozeroff should have caught the letter when he went to sign it. Gairns said the city's finance department has already im- plemented new procedures to ensure a similar situation doesn’t happen again. * 96 rooms and E-w Kananaskis The Perfect Romantic Getaway!
