Charles Cohoe said the crematorium issue “has been thrown around quite a lot" - and because of council's indecision should go to referendum. 3 “It's a very personal matter,” he said. “I’ think it’s different from selling a piece of land for construction of a tire shop.”. i ¢ But he rt the use of referen- Cemetery. = Albert C. who supported .a plebiscite on the issue, was critical.of council's split-vote decision to put CANDIDATES [three seats) dums for making decisions which should’ be made by elected council members.:. ° “I don’t: think there can be-any doubt : “that people have a right to have a voice where there is a contentious issue and council is split,” incumbent Bud Godderis said when : asked about his position on. the crematorium George Albert Calderbank (incumbent); businessman.

Despite the three gave last month to readings city council a proposed bylaw. authorizing the rezoning of 1502 and 1530 Columbia Ave. from residential to "com- prehensive commercial” use, Mendel announ- ced in an Oct. 29 letter to city clerk Barry.

Mendel, p of North V: b: Enterprises Inc., cited the deadline imposed on his firm by the lots’ owner for meeting conditions for the purchase and sale of. the property as the reason for calling off plans for the: 68,000-square-foot complex designed to accommodate a major. food store and several smaller retail outlets. ‘ te “We will not be able to complete all the” necessary steps before the. Oct. 31 deadline imposed on us for conditions by the owner of the land,.

The District No. 9 elections: echoes of last year's conflict : School District No. 9 trustees’ role in last year's West Kootenay schools strike-lockout highlighted election issues raised by. local school board candidates in the past week, 4, The. deadlock: ‘between four . school boards: and their non-teaching employees which disrupted instruction throughout ‘the region for about six weeks sparked public interest and candidates’ comments at public- forums both last Thurgday and Monday. ; Among’ those criticizing the board’s handling of the conflict‘ was Area I candidate’ Mickey .Kinakin, who'as a member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees’ Selkirk College local was involved in the labor dispute. Kinakin attacked the board's use of the B.C. School Trustees Association as its accredited bargaining agent during the strike-lockout. He said the dispute was "probably. one of the most serious questions facing the electorate” in this year’s school board, race. “As a union leader I sat tHfough meetings where the parents said “put our children back to school,’ the union said’ ‘we wish to’ go back to work, we're not on strike,’ ” Kinakin said. “The trustees said ‘no, ‘we can’t do that because we've got counselling from somebody in Vancouver who told us we should throw the kids out of . school. ‘ “You were the ones who elected them to extend a right to your children and they gave that to somebody else,'they contracted it out," the Area I: candidate told last Thursday's forum audience. “Don't give up the right of your children’s education to peaple who give it up so willy-nilly.” Incumbent city candidate Anne Jones, vice-chairman of the: local board and president of the West Kootenay branch of the BCSTA, challenged Kinakin’s statement that. the board’s decisions during the dispute were “made by people in Vancouver." She said decisions were made collectively by the four school boards affected. —- Although all decisions were made jointly by the West Kootenay branch of the BCSTA _ -ah application currently pending before the Labor Relations Board calls for a change in accreditation for the branch, Jones’ contin- ued. If the application is approved, she said, the West Kootenay branch rather than the BCSTA would hold accreditation for the four districts involved with CUPE. > The change would result in “a very technical difference.in many ways” but is one of a number of important steps planned “to make certain that decisions are being made by the school board,” she said. : “I'm quite confident that some very basic changes have occurred and such a situation will not occur.again,” Jones said of last year’s dispute. a i ‘. - The West Kootenay schools dispute was not as important an issue in this year's election as it was last year, “but it’s definitely CANDIDATES Castlegar [two seats) Rod Gilmour; social worker.

Responding to questions on the city’s blasting and drilling at the rock | bluff opposite the old. arena on Columbia Avenue, Ald.

Following the announcement by Mayor Audrey Moore that a copy of the proposed final agreement arrived unanimously approved the mayor's recommendation that they convene another meeting “one week from today, to Moore explained council members had already Tuesday council members Tuesday feeder road.” Responding to query by Ald.

Gerald ~ works and. Rust, council services chairman, told the delegation. “This is a long- range plan which would take place over the next 20 to 25 years.” But he said-certain as- pects of the study's recom- mendations “undoubtedly will be proceeded with at a very early date.” One of the aspects is survey work on the cuss the proposed changes yl, out of the deal,“at any time.” “I was simply not pre- pared to give Mendel Enter- prises any extension,” the statement concluded. “I had given it a free option for almost a year, and IO was not prepared to go farther.” Asked at city council's Tuesday meeting about’ the status of the rezoning bylaw for the development, plan- ning committee chairman Ald. Albert Calderbank said it had not yet been given fourth _ reading * and “will immediately run out” if the developer does not apply for a building permit for the project. + City clerk Barry .Baldi- gara reported that the city solicitor had advised him that council could allow another _ developer could “pick up” the project covered by: the by- law, which had been given third reading. ~ ; But council members — agreed with Ald. Gerald Rust’s statement that he would “feel a lot easier in my mind”. iof the bylaw were eliminated “right down the | line” and voted unanimously to rescind its first, secoud and third readings. Commenting on the aborted project, Ald. Len Embree suggested council “is going to have to take a little harder look at some of these development proposals and do some investigation of the people making the pro- posals.” t THE GROWTH: .
