Prepare to vote

The Oct. 15 referendum on the $2.2 million indoor aquatic centre
is less than two months away, yet it is clear that many in the com-

munity are still unaware of all the details of the proposal.

For instance, some assume it will be an Olympic-size pool

In

fact, the proposed pool will be about half the size (25 metres long

and six lanes wide instead of 50 metres long and eight lanes wide).

Others wonder about exact costs, pointing to the often-quoted
figure of a $36 increase in taxes. But that figure is only the increase

for the average home assessed at $50,000

In fact, the increase in taxes will amount to 72 cents per $1,000
of assessed value. Thus, for a home assessed at $80,000 the cost will
be $57.60, while for a home assessed at $35,000 the cost will be

$25.20

It is unfortunate that many residents couldn't attend the first
public meeting on the pool proposal this week. However, the
Castlegar and District Projects Society plans to hold meetings

throughout Area | and J, and in Castlegar beginning in September

Voters are urged to attend those meetings and ask questions so

that they are properly prepared to vote come Oct. 15.

Letters to the editor

Hooray
for small
victories

Opponents of CP Rail’s herbi-
cide spraying along the rail line
between Castlegar and Nelson
are preparing for another track-
side confrontation tomorrow
And judging from recent opinion
polls, they have the support of
most Canadians. (I know I'm
firmly against the spraying)

An Angus Reid poll conducted
in July revealed that Canadians
are so concerned about the en-
vironment that they are willing to pay more to protect it. The poll also
showed that 84 per cent of Canadians think governments could do
more to protect the environment

Ron
Norman

Previous polls have shown the environment consistently ranks as
a major concern of Canadians. The reason is simple. Canadians are
waking up to the fact that the environment is fragile and it can no
longer absorb all these synthetic chemicals

Here is a sampling of stories about the environment that have
come across my desk in the last week or two. They show why
Canadians are worried about the environment. But a word of warning
to those who suffer depression easily: read at your own risk

* Tourists have been astonished this summer to see gondoliers.
wearing surgical masks as they propel their black, high-powered
boats through the canals of Venice. Why the masks? Because the
stench from the canals is unbearable

* A similar story comes out of Hong Kong. where the city’s name
means fragrant harbor. But it’s lucky those who named the city aren't
around today because Hong Kong's harbor is one of the smelliest
around. Why? Industrial and residential wastes are dumped directly
into the harbor

* Closer to home, Prince George residents are concerned because
that city has the highest levels of totally-reduced sulphur found in any
industrial community in the province. The culprit is the pulp industry
In 1986 the testing station in the Prince George jail found the
pollution levels exceeded safety standards 1,000 times

© This week's fire in St. Basile Le Grand, Que. was an environ.
mental nightmare. Thousands of litres of oil laced with PCBs caught
fire, releasing a poisonous black cloud and forcing 3,000 residents to
flee their homes

© But we don't have to go to Quebec to find PCB problems.
Grand Forks had its own PCB scare earlier this month when it was
found that oil containing PCBs was poured into drums and then into
an oil spreader and used to keep the dust down in the yard of a Grand

Forks business. Test results showed minimal contamination

* Environment Canada released its annual report on the impact
of the greenhouse effect. The average annual temperature in Atlantic
Canada will rise about 4 C by the first quarter of next century
Greenhouse effect is the term scientists use to describe the global
climate change started because of a buildup of carbon dioxide and
other gaseous pollutants in the atmosphere

The list could have continued, but I stopped collecting articles
Is all this new? Not really. Most people are aware we are heading

for an environmental breakdown. The problem is, we feel incapable of

doing anything about it

For instance, how do we halt the greenhouse effect? Quit using
our cars? What do we as individuals do about the depletion of the
ozone layer? Turn off our air conditioners?

Most of us feel impotent when it comes to doing something about
this growing crisis. But when it comes to spraying herbicide along the

trail lines in our neighborhoods, there is s 2 w¢ can do.

And that is why we have seen so many people out on the railway

tracks. They believe they can make a difference
far, anyway

(Those who opposed the Forest Service's spraying of the herbi
cides Roundup and Vision on Crown lands in the Summit basin in the
Slocan Valley have also made a difference. The Forest Service has
indicated it will undertake some manual brushing and minimize use of
herbicides)

I predict we are going to see more changes in the way CP Rail
(and the Forest Service and the Ministry of Highways and others)
uses herbicides. I'm willing to bet that the next time CP Rail wants to

spray, it will think twice about it. And that's a victory

And they are so

Protest ‘reasonable’

The reason I support the efforts of
local citizens to stop the spraying of
Spike is to show solidarity with those
getting together to offer resistance to
one small part of this system's totally
unwise attitude toward the environ-
ment

The systems regulating chemical
use in Canada reflect Western Civil
ization’s failure to come to grips with
the problems associated with synt-
hetic chemicals

Spike is only one of 80,000 chem
icals in production worldwide, 1,000.
2,000 additions and or replacements
are made each year.

The policy is to spread them all
over until the dead bodies show up
They're all ‘‘safe’’ — until proven
deadly. By then of course, they're all
over the place

This is called post-market testing,
as opposed to making the best effort
to find out what will happen before
moving into production. The UN
General Assembly has issued an
urgent call to all nations in the world
to change this policy

One reason this was done is
because of the alarming new dim

When I was a school girl about 104
years old, I joined my Social Studies
classmates in laughter at the “ig
norant’’ peasants who were con
cerned about the pollution from the
first railway trains in England

Now, 65 years later, I realize that
the English peasants were not ig
norant: we in this modern, technical
age are the “‘ignorant’’ ones if we
permit the increasing pollution of our
environment. For example. there is
the needless spraying of Spike along
the CP Rail railbed

ension of environmental crisis caused
by a side effect of a formerly ‘‘safe’’
synthetic chemical group that causes
ozone depletion

Alarming decay structure
essential to the planet's ability to
support life is proceeding. So far, the
sun is only gradually becoming more
dangerous. This is bad enough, but
the worry is over whether something
sudden might happen.

in a

The reaction that periodically oc
curs over Antarctica that causes the
ozone hole may spread to the entire
ozone layer at any time, and life as
we knew it is over. There jis enough
radiation out there.

The reaction occurs when the
ozone layer is cold and the sun is
shining on it. At this time, the ozone
layer is only cold enough for several
months in the Antarctic spring over
10 percent of the southern hemi
sphere. A weather pattern, called the
polar vortex, keeps that much of it
isolated in the dark winter over
Antarctica and chills it down. When
the sun comes up the ozone dis.
appears. This goes on until the
vortex breaks down several months
later and warmer air comes in.

The ozone layer over Antarctica
has always been cold. This reaction
started only when the concentration
of pollutants reached a certain level
(in 1977). As the level of pollutants
has risen over the years, the ozone
hole has spread and lasted longer. As
this process continues, there are
fears that the hole will become
permanent, as the loss of ozone tends
to keep the stratosphere colder
longer. This will be a disaster to the
ecosystem of the Antarctic seas, one
of the most productive on earth. The
concentration of pollutants in the
ozone layer, because of the vast scale
of the processes involved, will con-
tinue to rise for more than a decade
no matter what we do.

Tragically, the greenhouse effect
will act to cool the ozone layer all
over the globe. As the activities of
civilization continue to change the
composition of the atmosphere it will
increasingly act to trap more heat
leaving the surface of the earth which
will cool the ozone layer. This
process is also slated to get worse for
decades no matter what is done, and

will get radically worse if present
trends continue. No one knows at
what temperature the reactions over
Antarctica require. The Antarctic
stratosphere is at present 10 degrees
colder than anywhere else on earth,
but there is no guarantee that the
not triggered by one
degree colder for instance

So processes that may lead to
sudden destruction of the ozone
layer’s ability to shield us are going
on, out of our control. The scale of
the forces interacting will steadily
increase for decades. If we totally
cleaned up our act, we can only stand
by helpless and hope that action
wasn't too late

Scientific ability to predict
will happen is less accurate than a
weather forecast made for six months
in advance.

This incredible scene is the result
of current policies applied to the use
of synthetic chemicals.

So, I live here, and the system is
coming by spraying another one of
their ‘‘safe’’ synthetic chemicals:
Spike. The same civilization certified
this one. The same ‘‘spread it all
over and see what happens’’ philo
sophy is being applied

I wonder sometimes how far you
had to be from Auschwitz so that you
wouldn't know what was going on
The system got out of control, but
systems only work if the majority fail
to resist. What will our descendants
think about us when they find
themselves confined to living in
artifical life support systems on a
hostile planet? Who will be judged
worse, the German people who co-
operated with Hitler, or us?

As a token of resistance. it seems
quite reasonable for a community to
refuse to cooperate by sitting on the
tracks in front of a spray truck

CHARTER'S
NEW BOOK
‘GOOD READ'

y RON NORMAN

Editor

I thought I would be one of the last people in-
terested in sitting down for a careful reading of
longtime Castlegar News columnist John Charters's
latest book. It’s not that I don't enjoy Charters's
writing; I do. It was more the book's subject: 115 of

his best columns.

I've edited this newspaper for nearly seven
years, and in the process edited more than 360 of
Charters’s columns. | figured I had pretty well read

anything the book had to offer.
In fact, I hadn't.

Many of the columns — I

would guess somewhere between one-third’and a
half — were written long before my arrival in

Castlegar (like 20 or 30 years before).

And the

columns I have read before take on a new life in this

collection, thanks in large part to a superb job by
editor Susan Bond and Bear Giass Press, the pub-

lisher.

Instead, of simply lining up the columns in
chronological order, the articles are pulled together
and placed within 15 subject headings such as
People, Teachers, The Sexes, Castlegar and War, all
under the title Over My Shoulder. (An extremely
appropriate title given that the columns span more

than’ 35 years).

BOOK REVIEW

We get a chance to see how Charters’s writing i the
has developed and how his thinking on various
subjects has changed over time.
column entitled Equal Pay for Women? was pub-
lished not in 1982, but in 1952 and shows Charters
well ahead of his time in the equality of the sexes
debate. It is only unfortunate all of the columns on
the Sexes are from the 1950s, because I recall a
recent column where he attacked the notion that in L and
women must be allowed to enter every male sport
and event. That column would have fit quite nicely
juxtaposed with the equal pay article).

Charters also touches on another topical issue
when he writes on pollution ‘from the Celgar pulp
mill. However the date of the column isn’t 1988, but

1958.

“British Columbians have, with all the blind
enthusiasm of ignorance and greed, been wrecking
and befouling not only their fresh and salt water, but
he writes.

One of my favorite columns is entitled Gift

their air and land as well,"”

JOHN CHARTERS
. best columns

Beyond Price, which was originally published in
1956, but has been reprinted at least once since I've
been here.

The story is about Christmas in 1943 in Ortona,
Italy. A young Canadian lieutenant saves an Iti
child who wanders into the middle of shootout
between Germans and Canadians. The soldier is then
repaid by the family with a wonderful feast.

And of course, no collection of columns would be
complete without either a mention of John Munday
(he gets a whole subject heading) and Zuckerberg
Island. Charters was instrumental-in helping Castle-
ing of the island

Zuckerberg (‘‘I am a formalist,”’ writes

“‘as was Mr. Zuckerberg, and we address-

ed one another with the honorific ‘Mr.’ as a term of
mutual respect.’’)

But the book isn’t only about local people,
places and events. Charters moves farther afield with
travel pieces on the Callanish Stones of Scotland,
N i Abbey.

The only drawback to the book is that there are
no columns from the 1960s or early 1970s. Charters
didn’t write during those years, which is unfortunate
because they were turbulent times and it would be
wonderful to see how he viewed them.

Still, the book is a good read and by its nature
not the kind of book that needs to be finished in one
sitting, thought it is easy to find oneself doing that.
No, this book is best taken in doses, hitting upon a
particular column on a particular topic from a par-
ticular time, depending on one’s frame of mind at
the time.

Pee-wee gets serious

By BOB THOMAS

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Entertain-
ment writers are always informed
that Pee-wee Herman will be inter-
viewed as Pee-wee Herman, the film
and television star, not as Paul
Reubens, his real-life identity.

How do you deal with that? Would
you interview Lucille Ball as Lucy
Ricardo? Sean Connery as James
Bond? How to question Pee-wee Her-
man? In squeaks and baby talk?

Such questions go through a re-
porter’s mind as he awaits the arrival
of the star on a huge, empty Par-
amount studio stage. He appears at
the far end, a tiny figure in the now
familiar too-tight suit, hair plastered
down, lips pursed.

But as he sits down to talk, he is
neither Pee-wee Herman nor Paul
Reubens; rather, he’s someone in the
middle.

He has come to talk about Big Top
Pee-wee, the Paramount Pictures re-
lease he hoped would repeat the
success of the 1985 Pee-wee’s Big
Adventure (returns so far have been

but not
But he also talked about other mat-
ters, presumably as Paul Reubens.

Why a circus movie?

“I grew up in Sarasota, Fla., which
is the old winter headquarters of the
Ringling show,”’ he explained. ‘‘I
knew a lot of circus people, and I
knew of a lot of circus people. My
school had a circus that included
children of the performers."’

YOUNG JOKESTER

Born Paul Rubenfeld in Peekskill,
N.Y., in 1952, he grew up in Sarasota
where his parents ran a lamp store.
Young Paul was a jokester, always
putting on shows for the neighbor
kids, later graduating to summer
stock.

After high’school he spent a year
at Boston University, and was then
turned down by the Julliard School of
Carnegie-Mellon University. So he

Programs
mislead
teens

WASHINGTON (AP) — Television
programs fail to show teenaged girls
taking the steps necessary to achieve
productive lives, focusing instead on

b with ing, g 8
and dating, says a U.S. women’s
advocacy group.

“These images create the impres-
sion that one can magically jump
from an adolescence of dating and
shopping to a well-paid professional
career,’’ said Sally Steenland, author
of a report, Growing Up in Prime
Time.

The study of more than 200
episodes of 19 network television
Programs featuring adolescent char-
acters was sponosred by the National
Commission on Working Women of
Wider Opportunities for Women. The
non-profit group seeks to improve
women’s status in the labor market.

“Week after week, viewers see
teen-age girls with no visible skills,
no favorite subjects in school, no
discussion about collegé majors or
vocational plans,”’ Steenland said in
prepared comments.

“TV's teen-age girls are portrayed
as poised for professional careers and
productive adulthoods without clues
to the steps necessary to achieve
those goals.””

The report found:

* Girls’ looks are shown to count
more than their brains. Some epi-
sodes portray intelligent teenaged
girls as social misfits.

© Adolescent girls, who out-
number their male counterparts on
television, are more passive than
male characters.

© Weekly plots are lacking in
serious conversations with parents,
teachers or peers about school mat-
ters, academic interests, career goals
or future plans.

© Ninety-four per cent of teenaged
girls on television are middle-class or
wealthy. In reality, more than one-
