The motel has languished for the last few years’ providing low rent ac- co dati for more i types. Greg Scriver wants to change all that. Mr. Scriver intends to remodel the units, beginning with a fresh coat of paint. He also plans to landscape the area to bring out its “park-like setting.” But all this work isn't without some purpose. It is aimed at at- tracing a new kind of tenant: senior citizens, who will lease or rent the units on a monthly or an- nual basis. It's a superb idea and the renovations just may set an exam- ple for others in the community. The City of Castlegar has long recognized the need for an im- proved community appearance. It has spruced up city hall and the Old Arena, and has started a beautification program for the Community Complex. Some businesses have also taken the initiative and fixed up their buildings — like the Haack building which hung flower baskets this summer; and Woodland Park Shell, which tran- stormed a dowdy gas station into a bright outlet. There are others — like River side Video, which is undergoing a major expansion, and the Bosse building on 3rd Street where a new facade was added. But for every building that has been given a facelift there are half a dozen more that need attention. A particular eyesore is the old Shell station at the corner of 18th Street and Columbia Avenue. The corner is one of the key locations in Castlegar, perhaps even more so than the main inter section downtown because it is visible from Highway 3. Yet, what do visitors to Castlegar see when they first enter the city? A boarded up gas station with weeds growing around it The station's appearance gives visitors a false image of Castlegar. It looks as if no one has tended to the place in years. Yet, as reporter Mike Kalesniko pointed out in last Sunday's feature article on Castlegar’s economy, things are booming here. Premier Bill Vander Zalm’s plan to shift some of the provincial government's responsibility out of Victoria and into other parts of the province is a bold step in the right direction. It's not the kind of move that will generate as much public interest — or as much controversy — as, say, the privatization of Crown corporations (which some speculate will be made public during the Social Credit caucus meeting in Nelson Monday, Tuesday and Wed- nesday). But decentralization could have wider- hi store, a hockey game or the library and give them an earful. You just don’t have that kind of access to provincial and federal politicians, no matter how con. scientious they are, because they must spend a lot of their time in the legislature in Victoria and in the House of Commons in Ottawa. Then they have to convince politicians and civil servants hun- dreds or thousands of kilometres removed from the area that a particular local issue is priority. for individual Castlegar residents. It's difficult to analyse the de- centralization scheme from the few facts Vander Zalm revealed to municipal politicians in his address at this week's Union of B.C. Mun- icipalities convention in Vancouver. But here's what we know: e eight regional districts will be created to foster economic develop- ment; ean existing cabinet minister will be appointed as a minister of state for each region, assisted by a parlia. mentary secretary; e each region will get $1 million as start-up funding. (Vander Zalm calls the money “initial” funding, im plying there will be more funding sometime down the road. But he doesn't come right out and say it, nor does he say how much money the regions will get to operate their economic development agencies). © the regions will focus on specific targeted incentives tailored for the individual requirements of the reg ion. We also know that economic de is just the Vander Zalm intends to decentralize health care, education, social serv ices, agriculture, environment, jus tiee/system, highways, and con sumer services. / But what does all that mean? In (theory, decentralization means plac- ing more control in the hands of local governments. The province will no longer issue decrees from Mieteria, but will allow local pol fticians to make decisions based on ee circumstances. St sounds great. Everyone knows tis the most re ss Jevel of government and governments become less respon give the further removed they are the voters. ‘The reason is simple: Voters can buttonliole the local mayor, alder (mah origchool trustee at the corner So, having pi services and programs controlled regionally makes sense. But only if the regions have the financial clout to pay for them. That means being able to tax industry and business. Unfortu- nately, that hasn't been the case in the past when Victoria's attempts to shuffle responsibility for programs and services to local government has ended up placing a heavy burden on local taxpayers. Education is a prime example. Victoria took control of the in- dustrial tax base and allocated so much tax money to each school board. If the local board wants more money, it has to go to residential taxpayers. If education is to be truly locally controlled, school boards will have to have the power to tax industry and set their own budgets. There is also a concern about whether the new regions will simply create another level of government — something no one wants. And then there is the question about how much control Victoria will retain over the new regions. The Regional District of Central Kootenay, for instance, found out the limits of its powers when it sent a sew building bylaw to Municipal Affairs Minister Rita Johnston for final approval. Johnston asked Nelson-Creston MLA Howard Dirks to review the bylaws and Dirks recommended changes that would virtually remove any bite the bylaw had. Johnston hasn't given any indi- cation she will follow through with Dirk's recommendations, but the question that needs to be asked is, would the province take the same type of approach to the new regions? Decentralization is a wonderful idea provided it is implemented with care. We'll have to wait and see if Victoria handles it that way.

I graduated from Mount Sentinel and went on to complete one year at Selkirk College. My community has always meant a great deal to me. As I was growing up I was so proud to be part of such a good community. Everyone was always friendly and when someone made a mistake or did something wrong, the community supported that person and helped them learn from their mistakes. Unfortunately, I am losing faith and respect for a great number of people in our area. People have become cruel, ruthless, and uncaring. The four brokers involved in Dixie Dee Power's pyramid scheme, like many of us involved, made a mistake. They truly believed that they were helping us, the people of this commun- ity. We cannot deny that while the scheme was working and money was being doubled, we all loved them and thought what they were doing was great. But now they are considered criminals who took our money and in- tentionally “ripped off” our “poor gullible community.” No one was forced to invest, we all did it willingly. All of us who invested are guilty for being part of an illegal scheme. Why we were not all arrested for being involved in a pyramid, I don't know. Instead of condemning these men of our community, what are we not trying to help them and their families get on with their lives like we have done? I know many people lost hard earned money. I lost money as well, but my understanding of this was that it was a gamble. It was a chance for me to either get ahead or lose what I had gambled. I think it is time we all stopped No justification for defense policy penury, unemployment, marital break- down, AIDS, child abuse, oe bat- We have been perusing the defence white paper and wish to communicate some of the problems we see with the policy outlined in it. Finance Minister Michael Wilson has many times voiced his concerns regard. ing the budgetary deficit. We hear, daily, that health care is in a perilous condition from lack of funding and a comprehensive child care program awaits the money to implement it. The education of our young people and the retraining of mature workers to accommodate new technologies is hampered by budgetary constraints. It is demonstrable that the security of many Canadians, particularly our young people, is at risk from social problems which are left unattended. The postulation of an external threat which is more serious than these immediate social sources of insecurity is, in our opinion, questionable. To divert the limited resources of the Canadian taxpayer into military hard. ware will exacerbate the social pro- blems which, for many, are the primary source of anxiety, insecurity and worry. To put it bluntly: an invasion by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics is hypothetical; poverty, old age tering, sexual harassment, inadequate child care, environmental a lation, handicapped support, mental illness, crime, etc., are very real to too many Canadians. We, therefore, see no justification for the diversion of financial resources to military expenditures. The choice of nuclear submarine seems, in any case, strange. Other than the U.S. Forward Maritime Strategy we are unable to account for it. The statement “to participate in research on future air defense systems with the U.S. Air Defense Initiative” is seen by us as a reversal of the stated government stand of not being in- volved with the Strategic Defense Initiative. Any separation of the two is a mere play on words. There have been significant devel- opments, recently, in the negotiations for control of armaments. Canadian armament policy should take into account the possible outcome of these negotiations.

Although it was reported that the Castlegar school board was “blasted”, I wasn't intending to “blast” anyone in my letter to them. I was expressing my concern over the massive tax increase and was asking for some answers. When one’s taxes increase by $747.34 in a single year when one installs an had no increase in my wage scale at Selkirk College. I am not crying over this because when the provincial econ- omy is down, we all need to be willing to do with less. But when our local governments at the same time increase our taxes by large amounts, it becomes rather hard to swallow. I was told that the school board was carrying out parents’ wishes for school funding levels. However, judg- ing from the telephone calls and made to me after Wed- ordinary vinyl-li ing pool, something seems very wrong. That's not how our family planned on getting ed. The school board was not the worst culprit in the past year's tax levy. Our regional district taxes in. creased by 99.1 per cent (almost double in just one year!); hospital taxes in creased by 75.9 per cent; school taxes by 58.8 per cent; and city taxes by 34.9 per cent and all witli just a 17.8 per cent increase in our property assess. ment. This, I feel, is an excessive in. crease in just one year. "or the past three years I have nesday's paper, I tend to doubt this. I suggest that in the future a fairer and more democratic way would be to It would make the people who comprise local governments less vul- nerable to pressure groups; e It would make us as citizens more informed and thus more involved in our civic affairs; It would allow local citizens more participation in deciding how they want their money spent rather than a few board members second-guessing taxpayers’ wishes. ‘The 17.8 per cent assessment in- crease is the responsibility of the prop- erty assessment personnel, and the Court of Revision is available to hear let the taxp: decide by if they indeed do wish to pay for services that significantly exceed pro- vincial government funding levels. This is what our neighbors south of the border do in at least two states that I know. It seems that this would be very easy to do at election time and would have several significant advantages: It would force educating the citi- zens as to reasons for proposed tax increases; and adjust if deemed legitimate. But the 99.1 per cent, 75.9 per cent, 58.3 per cent, and 34.9 per cent tax increases mentioned above are the proportionate respons- ibility of the local governments. And as taxpayers we don't have much re- course after the tax notices appear — unless, of course, they reduce their tax rates next year.

MORE LETTERS Doukhobors ‘realistic’ I had the good fortune this summer to .attend the Castlegar portion of the Russian Canadian Heri- tage Festival July 24 - 26 — the “wind- up” of a highly successful 10-day festival sponsored by the Association of Canadians and Russian Descent in honor of the renowned Russian author nd humanitarian, Leo Tolstoy. The “grand finale” of the festival was a colorful dramatization of The Story of The Doukhobors in extravaganza which resulted in standing-room-only at the Brilliant Cultural Centre. It is only recently that I have begun to realize the enormous degree of respect and gratitude held by the Doukhobor people for this famous Russian author. In fact, if it had not been for his assistance in their time of severe persecution under the Tsars, they would not likely have come to Canada at all — and the cultural mosaic of our nation would have been at a considerable loss. Moreover, those Doukhobors who remained in their homeland might not have survived the heavy persecution without the inter- cession of this universally respected man — a man with a worldwide repu- tation even in the year 1895. muster the courage and conviction to eliminate their nuclear arsenals — like those thousands of brave Doukhobor people did to their guns and swords throughout their colonies at midnight on June 29, 1895. They stacked them in neat ceremonial array and burned them to piles of useless molten a. to say the nuclear arsenals would require a pie more technical approach). I believe that in a small but significant way history is in the making here in Castlegar and Grand Forks and also in the Doukhobor centres of Saskatchewan. Some of our Canadian Doukhobor people, third and fourth generation descendants of pioneers from the Soviet Union, are now serving us as unofficial ambassadors to this (Soviet) nation — ambassadors of peace and goodwill. Through their contacts they are providing us with a much- needed doorway, a window between East and West. And what we are beginning to see through this window requires that we re-adjust much of our narrow-minded thinking. T also believe that we people from other ethnic groups in the area should be taking a look at what some of these “ambassadors” have recently been ac- king of the D relig- ion Tolstoy said: “Among the Douk- hobors, or rather ‘Christians of Uni- versal Brotherhood,’ as they now call themselves, nothing new is taking place, but merely the germination of that seed which was sown by Christ 1800 years ago — the resurrection of Christ himself.” The Doukhobors have undergone many difficult times since their humble beginnings in southern Russia during the early 1700s. But now in this time of world nuclear crisis their way of non- violence — like the teachings of Tolstoy and Christ and pacifist peoples such as the Quakers and — is through these “low key” Canada-Soviet relations — and we should be offering to work both with them and in ways of our own to help this benevolent movement to prosper. This building of mutual understanding cannot help but contribute to. a lessening of world tensions. All countries, all peoples of the world have frequently experienced the horrors of war — which is never anything less than mass murder of human beings. Some have glorified in war, some have prospered by it (temp- orarily), some have pretended to abhor war while excusing it as necessary — alli inable excuses for this madness coming more and more into focus as a realistic way out of nuclear annihilation of our planet. As stated by various dedicated peace workers such as Jim Stark (founder of Operation Dismantle) what we peed now — on a global scale — is to convince our governments to have been given. But something pro- foundly different happened among those Doukhobor people in 1895. They refused — “en masse” and in complete solidarity with each other — to kill other human beings. To the officials they politely but firmly announced their refusal — regardless of the con- sequences — to be involved in any way in the killing of others, ‘The military officials were at first dumbfounded, later enraged and finally cruel. wards t! eir fellow man. From that time —_— they paid heavily for their to bear arms — then mir- dnreat Tolstoy heard of their plight and helped them to leave the country. In Plakun Trava, the definitive work on the Doukhobors by Koozma Tarasoff (Master of Arts and Science in Anthropology and Sociology, UBC, 1963), the author discusses this dra- matic change in human behavior as a “paradigm shift” — a rare occurrence in history when a great social change or reversal occurs with profound effect on the human race. After pondering this concept for a short while the thought soon came to mind that what is des- perately needed now — on a worldwide scale — is another of these paradigm shifts — a refusal of all people and governments to be involved in any way Metal producers enjoy mini-boom By SHAWN McCARTHY Canadian Press Miner Ray Krieg and his employer, Inco Ltd., have had seven lean years as high costs, weak demand and world oversupply pummelled the nickel industry — and base metal producers gen- erally.

There is no time to lose — otherwise we are headed for extinction much sooner than we care to admit. (Some welcome rays of hope are now springing from the recent prom- ising discussions on the possibility of eliminating short range nuclear mis- siles from Europe.
