Right decision

Premier Bill Bennett made the
proper decision to proceed with
Expo 86, Vancouver's world tran-
Sportation and communication ex-
position.

In the simplest economic ter-
ms, too much money had already
been spent — $80 million — to
cancel the fair. Even more convin-
cing was the economic reality that
the fair will generate millions of
dollars in construction jobs in the
years leading up to Expo and in
tourism benefits in 1986.

Castlegar, for instance, will
benefit heavily trom the tourism
boom which will surely take place
as visitors from other provinces
drive west to the coast to see the
fair.

But economics was only one
factor in the premier's decision.
What also became clear this week,
as Mr. Bennett pondered the fate
of Expo 86, is that the fair has cap-
tured the imagination of Britistr
Columbians.

That much was evident in the
CasNews On The Street interviews
this week. All wanted the fair to go
ahead. The same was true in
similar interviews on Vancouver
TV newscasts.

But that wasn’t the case two
years ago when Expo's opponents
charged that the money spent on a
world fair could be better spent on
small-scale job creation projects.

That may have been a widely
accepted argument at that time,
but not any more. The reason is
simple: the fair has turned out to
be a far greater success than
either Mr. Bennett or Expo 86
chairman Jim Pattison could have
imagined.

it has ballooned from a small-
scale exposition designed to
display high technology—called
Transpo—to a major world fair in-
cluding a $1.2 billion budget. But
most importantly, of that $1.2
billion, $400 million is coming from
participating countries, states,
Provinces and corporations for
construction and operation of their
pavilions.

That is money that may not
have otherwise come into this
province—and it spells jobs for
residents.

Opponents argue that the

$800 million provincial investment
may have been better spent on

of which have been un
ding gun. ?

But we have to also remember
that this government is willing to
put money out for projects that
have a chance of breaking even
and would not have put that money
toward education and social ser-
vices, which it believes are already
receiving too much funding.

Why all
the fuss?

Premier Bennett's decision to
continue with Expo 86 is welcome,
but it's a bit difficult to understand
why there was all the fuss in the
tirst place. “

Some may say that the
premier relishes crisis situations.
Let's hope that isn't the case. Still,
there are some puzzling aspects to
the Expo 86 issue.

Why did his insistence that Ex-
po be a freely competitive bidding
site, open to union and non-union
contractors become a controversy
at this time? Surely that issue
should have been dealt with at the
very start of the fair’s planning two
or three years ago.

If it wasn't discussed and set-
tled then, why did he allow just
one week for bargaining between
Expo 86 chairman Jim Pattison and
building trades council president
Roy Gautier? Very few bargaining
sessions are completed in one
week, let alone one covering an
issue as complex and fat-reaching
as this one.

It would have been wiser if
Mr. Bennett simply and quietly in-
structed Mr. Pattison to begin
negotiations with the construction
trades to ensure labor peace on
the Expo site.

H-after a certain amount of
time, Mr. Pattison came to the
same conclusion as he did this
week — that no agreement can be
reached — then Mr. Bennett would
still have had the opportunity to
proceed with his plan to legislate
the workers back.

There are certain advantages to
fesiding in rural or unincorporated
areas. Blueberry Creek is an unin-
corporated area.

The adjective has such an impor-
tant and legalistic ring to it. We do
have laws and bylaws which concern
us rural folk; however, we shall
concern ourselves, only with the
many good reasons we like living six
miles from downtown Castlegar.

Here is a good example: the ladies
of the Blueberry Creek Recreation
Commission raised more than $1,500
to purchase a new piece of play-
ground equipment for our local
park. An on-site meeting was called
which included three women and a
part-time park trustee.

In less than 15 minutes a site was
chosen, rate of pay was established,
and a construction schedule was in
place — all verbally — on our word.

Saturday last, over a cup of
coffee, the following details were

group repaired a broken piece of
equipment. We ran water from a
nearby neighbor's house.

A local teenager did a good job in
preparing the anchor exeavation.
The ladies who started the project
in the first place handled the shovels
for concrete work as well as the
men. One man came to the park
armed with a garden rake and left
soon after with the good natured
remark that we had more help than
we needed already.

A good neighbor, also with his
welder's ticket, seemed to assume
the foreman's job but he was a
“hands-on” forman.and asked opin-
ions and received them from his
helpers.

Specialities developed early in the
project. Some preferred working at
the wheelbarrow mixing concrete.

The women had worthwhile com-
ments concerning the consistency of

on-site delivery, materials, tools and
supplies. Other than general earlier
references, with no promises im-
plied, we had a start-up crew of
three persons.

Thirty minutes later men, wom-
en, materials and equipment were
at the site: Now we get to the good
part. Construction is underway.

Hey, where did that labor force
come from? As far as I can recall we
had seven or more on the project.

These are good, community-
minded people. A-welder in the

of sand to prove their
point. Everybody participated, each
offered his or her opinion, and the
job was completed to everyone's
satisfaction.

The unused materials and
washed-down tools were removed.

This afternoon at 4:30 you could
count more than a dozen small chil-
dren waiting their turns to use the
brand new teeter whirl.

Letters to the Editor

Always see the manager

Editor, Castlegar News:

I am prompted by my respect for
Nick Chernoff to reply to Mr. Keegan's
letter in the April 8 Castlegar News
dealing with a misunderstanding be-
tween himself and Trowelex Rentals.

Mr. Keegan makes a case against
Trowelex berause he was charged
travel time on a “free” tiller and was
treated with less respect than he felt to
be his due.

In the 10 years I have lived in the
Castlegar area I have dealt with Trow-
elex om many occasions and have
always came away satisfied; there have
been frustrations, but always a way
was found to reach agreement. As a
general rule, I make a point of asking to
see the manager if I am dissatisfied
with the services or information I

Editor, Castlegar News:,

A recent presentation by the “Can

trict of Central Kootenay board stated
that the concerns of residents re-
garding the impact of industry om the

I am certain that;Mr. Keegan could

vantages in his technical position as an

taken his issue to Nick Chernoff rather
than to the public forum of the Letters
to the Editor.

Technically, Mr. Keegan does: live
outside. city limits. But surely it is
obvious that the areas of Robson,
Raspberry, Brilliant, Ootischenia and
C ; ‘4

are p one

unit.

For Trowelex or any other business
in this community “out-of-town” would
logically mean Trail, Rossland, Mont-
rose, Fruitvale, Salmo, Nelson or the
Slocan Valley.

Perhaps we can hold
ponsible for a vaguely

elex res-
orded clause,

but we can also hold Mr. Keegan res-

~Park.is:not the issue

to the severe detriment of logging and
mining.”

The Chamber of Mines of Eastern
B.C., a regional mining lobby group,
recently charged that “the authors of
the plan appear to have an inherent
bias towards recreational and tourist

plan...
In true perspective, the Society par-

ticipated in the process alongside log- *

ging, mining, watershed, tourism,
agriculture, fish, wildlife, and other
interests. There is no evidence that any
special interest group or industry was
favored in the draft plan.

One of the most urgent concerns
which the plan was meant to address is
that of watersheds. This is only one of
many examples of conflicts that arose
totally independent of the Valhalla
Park issue, for it arose out of the direct

How can this be when the valley's
four presiding elected repr i

to the planning board are all involved
in either the logging or mining
industry?

The Society has continued as a par-
ticipant' in the planning process be-
cause it believes all residents of the
valley have an interest in wise
management of its resources. Another
participant has been Slocan Forest
Products. Two years ago the company
declared its willingness to participate
in the public interest, and it has had a

threat of actual or i damage
to water supplies by industry.

It would be a mistake for the public
to allow its attention to be diverted
from that and other compelling issues
which have never been resolved, to the
Valhalla Park, which is not at issue in
the present controversy.

The anti-plan presentation stressed
that the plap “designs the valley de-
velopment as a complement to the Val-
halla Park.” This is misleading because
it implies that-the park is the central
focus of the plan.

However, it was only one of many
land use issues addressed. In the past
the valley has abounded with conflicts
over such issues as a proposed small
smelter above New Denver, a small
sawmill and open pit mine in the Hills
area, a mine in a rural residentia) and
recreational area near New Denver, a
silica mine at Winlaw, a recreational
development at Rosebery, and water-
shed controversies throughout the
valley, to cite a few.

In many instances these random un.
planned developments have caused
volatile situations with surrounding
landowners and others affected. These
are the problems of a community
trying to integrate monetary concerns
with other vital necessities to give the
greatest overall public benefit.

They are bound to increase ‘as the
residential population of the valley in-
creases, and as depressed industries
begin looking at areas closer to home.
At no time have Valhalla Park
supporters advocated solving these
problems by diminishing the logging or
mining industries or banning resource
extraction on the east side of the lake.

Those who want no planning at all
have stated in the media that the draft
plan is “slanted towards an unrealistic
objective of a tourist-oriented economy

He did have the free use of the
machine and perhaps because he took
advantage of his technical point, the
machine could not be rented and it was
therefore reasonable for him to pay
$11. I don't know for I wasn’t there,
but that certainly could have been the
case.

At any rate Mr. Keegan, I would like
to leave you with this thought: if you
are dissatisfied with the way a dog’s
tail is wagging, you are more likely to
create positive change by talking to the
head of the dog rather than the part
that is doing the wagging.

Also, claims that mining exploration
will be discouraged by the plan are un-
substantiated. If this were so, how is it
that British Petroleum is planning a
$600,000 drilling program south of
Silverton this summer, within the
proposed intensive resource manage-
ment zone?

As well, at a recent planning meeting
a government geologist was asked to
name the three companies he claimed
had been prevented from operations
because of visual management con-
cerns, but he could not name them.

It is true that the vein deposits of the
Slocan Camp have in the past sup-
ported small, underground labor-inten-
sive operations which caused relatively
little surface disruption.

On the other hand, indiscriminate

missions. The company assured the
public that it could do a good job in
sensitive or visually prominent areas.
It has already begun applying visual
management in its operations. It was
up to the residents and the planners to
work together to identify where these
areas were, and to define the guide-
lines of visual management in a plan.

Another unfounded claim of the “Can
the Plan” group is that “the park, its

P
tions shut down, they want them to be
carried out by sound, sensible prudent
methods. ‘

This is what has been referred to as
“regulation” but it is not so unnec-
essary or unreasonable as those who
want to destroy the plan would imply.
In fact, many miners and mining com-
panies recognize the need to’ consider
the environmental effects of their
work.

What kind of future is offered by a
do-what-you-please attitude? It would
allow random, wide-open development
with inadequate planning from Vic-
toria,‘and thus little or no public par-

The Slocan Valley plan is not a solu-
tion to conflicts through local control as
proposed in 1974. The present plan,
because of its broad scope and vague
references and policies, will result in
nothing more than a present and future
battleground for minority lobby groups
to struggle for power and control of the
valley through interpretations of the
plan made in their own self interests,
and at the expense of the majority of
taxpayers in the valley who want to
live and let live, look after their own
affairs and enjoy their lives and
families.

We have a director who has pressed
for the Slocan Valley plan and has been
active in the process since 1973. We
have elected representatives who have
failed to inform the electorate of the
implications of the plan; who have
failed to ask the electorate if they want
the Slocan Valley plan.

They have failed to address-the fol-
lowing facts:

e that people do not want to be poli-
ticians, to write briefs or to lobby.

e that people do not want more
government, more laws, more restric-
tions, more regulations, more meet-
ings, and more taxes to pay for all of
these.

citizens and want the freedom to adjust

Plan achieves ‘democracy’

Editor, Castlegar News:

Opponents to the Slocan Valley Plan
have said that the plan is a “failure of
democracy,” and that it goes against
freedom. But freedom was never
meant to be freedom from controls.
Controls are necessary to ensure a fair
share of freedom for everyone.

Democracy is government of the
people by the people. That is exactly
what the plan achieves, along with
giving equal rights, opportunity and
consideration to all factions.

What more can be asked of our
elected officials than that they put
their expertise to the service of helping
us get together to decide on our own
controls? What better use could they
make of governmental funds than to
give us a solution to our conflicts that
seeks to balance all the equities?

Many, many people in the valley
have taken up the opportunity and res-
ponsibility of using the extra govern-
mental resources channelled into this
area, and turning them into a benefit
for all. These people have voted for the

Plastic

the plan.

How can representatives of resi-
dents who do not want the plan and see
it as unnecessary negotiate the content
of the plan? After being told by the
board that in order to be listened to, we
must organize into some form of
society, we can only be left to assume
that in the eyes of the regional district,
individuals outside of organized lobby
groups go unrepresented.

Therefore, the supporters of the
“Can the Plan” delegation are now
forming a lobby group called the Slocan
Valley Resident's Alliance — a sorry
solution to a badly ailing regional dis-
trict concept of democracy. .

The plan has been brought to us by
various lobby groups, each claiming to
represent the best interests of the
valley and its residents.

Now the majority of the residents
themselves must form a lobby group to
and prevent a gross invasion of their
lives by another level of government.

The Slocan Valley Residents Alliance
against the plan will try to fairly
represent the majority.

Our elected representatives argue
that everyone must have a plan, éven
businesses. I would like to remlind
those who would support the plan on
these grounds that a business plan that
is not an economic plan is not a plan of
any value in any respect.

plan with their arduous and enthusi
astic work.

It is presumptuous of the apathetic
and the silent to claim to be the
majority as soon as they wake up; or to
claim to have no freedom of choice
because they chose for so long to do
nothing; or that they didn’t have an
opportunity to say they didn't want the
plan, when 15 meetings were held for
that purpose; or to claim that there
was not enough public participation
just because they stayed home.

There are elements behind this who
simply do not want to cooperate, and
refuse to be governed in concert with
other people. Fortunately, this repre-
sents only the loudest voices of a
minority.

I'm sure there are people in its ranks
who do have an open ear to the truth,
and I hope that they will join in the
planning process by expressing their
concerns without trying to destroy the
process by which they may be
addressed.
