One large club

The move earlier this month by
two international men’s service
clubs to allow women into their
Fol ereanangied does little to bolster

making. The Lions Club Inter-

national and Kiwanis International
opened their doors to women, ap-
parently out of some sense of
equality or fairness, and perhaps
because of pressure from women
who wanted to join.

But the local clubs can be
forgiven if they are hesitant —
even downright reluctant — to
embrace new female members.
Those clubs were established as a
place where men could go to enjoy
male companionship and at the
same time provide their commun-
ities with good works.

Now, they will be faced with a
mixed service club. But that
defeats the original purpose of the
clubs. It would seem that if men

and women had wanted mixed
service clubs, traditional men’s
clubs would have been in decline
and we would have seen the
growth of mixed clubs. That
doesn't seem to have been the
case.

(And it isn't as if women haven't
had a role in the men’s clubs. The
lady Lions, for example, are a
busy and active group in Castlegar,
working side by side the local Lions
on major events like the West
Kootenay Trade Fair.)

In any event, the trend is clear.
No clubs will be exempt in the
future. The University Women's
Club and Women’s Aglow will be
forced to accept male members. If
there's a bald-headed persons club
out there, they will have to accept
those with a full head of hair.
Given time, we will all belong to
one large club.

I don’t know why I should be, but
I am always surprised when norm-
ally fair-minded people suddenly
lock their minds shut when it comes
to immigration. It's like Dr. Jekyll
and Mr. Hyde. You can discuss
anything with them quite reason-
ably — except immigration; then
there’s no discussion.

Their reaction is almost certainly
knee-jerk and a good part of the
time tinged with racism, though
you'd never get them to admit it.
How do I know? Because I struggle
with those very same feelings.

Take the 174 Asians who landed
on the shores of Nova Scotia last
week. A story out of Vancouver told
of how MPs are fielding an unprec-
edented number of calls from
British Columbians upset about the
entry of the 174 immigrants into
Canada.

And the calls aren't along political
lines. Every party is receiving its
share. Liberal leader John Turner's
office has recorded more than 250
calls since the i landed in

compared to the thousands of illegal
immigrants who try to enter Canada
every year.

No. The issue is how we handle
illegal immigrants, whether they
are legitimate refugees or not,
whether they are Sikhs, British,
Tamils or Swiss.

Certainly, anyone who enters
Canada in the dead of night on a
boat is an illegal immigrant, as is
someone who walks through the
bushes across our border from the
United States. But do we immedi-
ately call for the person to be
thrown out of Canada and ordered
to re-enter the proper way? Of
course not.

We determine first if the person
is a legitimate refugee. If not, he is
returned to his home country. The
key to all this is to have a
proper process to determine legi-
timate refugees. And perhaps this is
where many Canadians fear the
federal government just isn’t fulfill
ing its duty.

Canadi whether rightly or

Canada. Conservative MP Pat Car-
ney’s Vancouver Centre office has
also been inundated.

The message in both offices is
pretty much the same: People say
they don't like people jumping
ahead of the line—queue-jumpers.
They're also saying these immi.
grants are not real refugees and
should be shipped back.

Even the supposedly more toler
ant New Democrats have joined the
fray. Kamloops MP Nelson Riis
came down hard on the 174 immi.
grants, saying their illegal entry
into Canada shouldn't be tolerated.

It’s easy enough to get caught up
in the event and overlook the issue.
The issue here isn't the 174 Sikh
immigrants. There are people who
cross into Canada every day who
are illegal immigrants. They may
not come on one boat together, but
nevertheless — they come — by
foot, plane, bus and car.

And the number certainly can't be
the issue. One hundred and seventy:
four is but a drop in the bucket

wrongly, have a sense that Ot-
tawa doesn't have a handle on
immigration. If Ottawa could show
more clearly it is dealing fairly and
efficiently with illegal immigrants,
perhaps there wouldn't be this
backlash every time a boatload of
immigrants lands on our shores.

As for Premier Bill Vander Zalm’s
comment that we should sell the
boat in which the immigrants
arrived and use the money to send
them home, it is only a half-bad idea.
Something has to be done to halt the
shipowners who make money from
these illegal immigrants, or last
week's scenario will only continue.
Selling the boats would make other
shipowners think twice about trying
the same stunt.

But Vander Zalm is jumping to
quick and perhaps false conclusions
about the immigrants themselves

(what's new?). Instead, he should
leave it up to the federal immigra
tion authorities to determine whe-
ther the 174 immigrants deserve to
stay in Canada or not.

“Not to worry

. Canadian Immigration will buy this story."

Crash story ‘nonsense’

The story “Air Crash Poses Many
Questions” by Mike Kalesniko (July 22
Cas News) is a fine example of the sort
of nonsense typically believed by
people who are ignorant about aviation
but who are prepared to leap to con-
clusions from a very limited amount of
factual information. Kalesniko, instead
of restricting himself to reporting the

lined i has d

answers that, in turn, imply that the
tragic event of July 17 was caused by
pilot incompetence. Three points, in
particular, need to be

First, the matter of “arming” the
emergency locator transmitter (ELT):
This is not a task that must be done by
the pilot “as soon as he suspects there
is trouble.” The ELT is armed when it
is installed in the aircraft, and is
usually inaccessible to the pilot during
flight. “Arming” the ELT enables it to
switch on automatically in the event of
a crash, and essentially overrides the
safety devices that are supposed to
prevent it from switching on accident-
ally when it is not in the airplane.

If the ELT is in a visible location, the
pilot can check before flight to see
that it is armed, and can check the log
books to see that annual inspections
and required battery changes have

Tobacco
ads aim
to confuse

Re: Banning Cigarette Advertising
— Bill C-51

Iam distressed by the recent double
page advertisements appearing in the
Vancouver Province and other leading
newspapers aimed at confusing Can-
adians over the issue of cigarette
smoking and the advertising of a
“lethal” product.

In 1972, the tobacco industry reluc-
tantly agreed to a voluntary monitor-
ing of advertising, so as to prevent the
government imposing its own controls.
That “voluntary” monitoring has been
blatantly disregarded and more often
breached than adhered to.

In North America tobacco smoking
kills the equivalent of three jumbo jets
crashing every day, annihilating all
their passengers. Some 330,000 per-
sons a year are dying prematurely be-
cause of their tobacco addiction.

Teenagers;\adopt the cigarette
smoking habit, and it is those teen-
agers who are dying when they are 50
to 60 years old from a multitude of
diseases directly related to tobacco
smoking. Non smokers are also dying
of lung cancer, due to inhaling
environmental tobacco smoke. Ten
non-smoking Canadians are dying each
week because of someone else's cigar-
ette smoking.

I cannot accept the argument that
advertising does not influence demand,
or that it only encourages brand loyal.
ty. The tobacco companies are out to
encourage new consumers to take up
the habit. If teenagers do not adopt the
habit of tobacco smoking, the tobacco
industry will die a slow but certain
death, since few adults commence to
smoke once past their teens.

Confirmed smokers are tobacco ad.
dicts, but let us not deny them access
to a product (tobacco), which affords an
instant fix some 20 times or more per
day. However, by cutting off the ad.
vertising of a “lethal” product, even
though it is unfortunately still “legal,”
the uptake of the habit will be reduced
in the young, who will not be seduced
into starting to smoke by clever adver.
tising, associating tobacco use with
being successful, cool or sexy.

been carried out. If these checks are
made, it is no reflection on the pilot if
the device fails to work when it is
supposed to. Kalesniko would have
done better service if he had attempted
to find out some of the real reasons
why 60 per cent of ELTs fail to work -
things like broken

many years would he have to have held
his licence for Kalesniko to drop the
“only”? It would make more sense to
report the number of hours of flying
time he had during that year and a half,
because that is the usual measure of
flying experience. Some pilots can gain
alot of is in a very short time,

by wreckage, under water, and so on
(Aviation Safety Letter 4/87).

Secondly, the matter of talking to
the Castlegar control tower: There is
no reason why Dan Dunlop should have
talked to the control tower at any time
during the flight, because he \
clearly well out of the control zone bar,
circle of five nautical miles radius
around Castlegar Airport), and there-
fore out of the tower's jurisdiction. It
follows that there is no reason why
Kalesniko should criticize him for not
talking to the tower.

It is reported that Dan filed a flight
plan, presumably with Castlegar Flight
Service Station (FSS). It is also
reported that the “airport” (FSS?) had
begun the usual steps to locate the
overdue aircraft. This suggests that
Dan was in contact with the FSS after
take-off from Trail in order to open his
flight plan, or they would not know
that he was overdue. Aside from
opening and closing a flight plan,
regular contact with flight service is
not required under visual flight rules.

Contact with FSS or other agencies
from an airplane is by VHF radio which
is capable of line-of-sight communica-
tion only. If Dan was flying low in the
vicinity of the Salmo-Creston highway,
it is doubtful whether he could talk to
Castlegar FSS because his trans
missions would be blocked by the
terrain. Conversation with the control
tower would require a frequency
change, and would be similarly block-
ed. In addition, under the circum-
stances, he was probably too busy
flying the airplane to talk to anybody.

Finally, the matter of his experience
as a pilot. The statement that Dan “had
only been a pilot for 1% years” is a
cheap shot and probably irrelevent. He
was a licenced pilot, and the fact that
he was recently licenced establishes his
competence, not the reverse. How

Diazinon

Most pesticide protesters don't seem
to know the difference between pesti-
cides, insecticides and herbicides. Who
cares about the difference, they say,
they are all poisons — and I agree.
But if the Ministry of Highways had
sprayed the highways about 10 years
‘ago, we, too, would be knapweed-free,
as is most of the province. But thanks
to all the Wayne Peppards and Sara
Rosses out there, it is now growing
wild, up the mountainsides, and no
animal will eat it; it's out of control.

The knapseed has cost me around
$800 so far this year trying to control it
using Tordon 22K because of some
people running around with protests
and petitions. This is what I am thor
oughly choked up about. Have those
people ever taken a look at all the
beautiful lawns, with no weeds, fruit
trees with no worms, gardens pest:
free? And yet just past their lot line
there is nothing but weeds. No doubt
these people have used Killex, Round
up and, the worst of them all, Diazinon,
an insecticide which is worse than
Spike 80W. But because these people
are ill-informed they keep using it, yet
have signs stuck up all over the place
saying “pesticide free.” That's a joke.
Are these beautiful lawns and gardens
yours by any chance?

Check with the drugstore, Penticton
Pesticide Control or Farmer's Supply
in Nelson and they will tel you that
Diazinon is pretty well the worst of
them all, and next is Killex, Roundup
and Spike.

while others gain very little in decades
of holding a licence.

News reports such as yours do very
little to enlighten the public, are of no
service at all to general aviation, do an

was —inivs justice to the pilot, and surely give no

comfort to the survivors. You will
merely succeed in reinforcing the
public stereotype of private pilots as,
by and large, dangerous and incom-
petent daredevils. There are, of course,
a few such individuals, but most of us

vant facts, and stay clear of speculation
and innuendo.
Robert Jackson
Castlegar

Editor's note: To set the record
straight, reporter Mike Kalesniko did
report the facts as they were told to
him by several aviation authorities.

Firstly, the information in the article
about the emergency locator trans-
mitter came from a spokesman at the
Castlegar Flight Service Station. Mr.
Kalesniko didn’t simply dream it up.

Secondly, Mr. Kalesniko, did not
“eriticize” the pilot for not talking to
the airport control tower, as the letter
writer suggests. Instead, he reported
accurately and fairly what an inves-
tigator for the Canadian Aviation
Safety Board said: That Mr. Dunlop did
not talk to the tower.

Finally, it is a reporter's job not only
to correctly report the relevant facts,
but to probe. While it is not a
reporter's job to speculate, he may ask
others who are in a position to
speculate to do so.

deadlier

You are only supposed to spray Dia-
zinon very early in the morning or late
at night because it will kill bees, birds
small and large (up to the size of geese)
and fish. The lethal dose of Diazinon is
225 mg per kg. where Tordon 22K is
3,200 mg. per kg. Tordon will not harm
livestock or fish. I am alive and well,
and so are my horses and cows.

So those Wayne Peppards and Sara
Rosses out there should direct their ef.
forts and get people to stop using
Diazinon and the like. But that would
fall on deaf ears and wouldn't get their
names in the paper, so that may not
suit their fancy. People are using Dia.
zinon many times a season and as ex
plained earlier, it is very deadly. Tor
don 22K is only used once every five
years.

Now to all those people who use
these pesticides and insecticides, clean
up your own backyard first, throw
away your poisons or at least take
down your “pesticide-free” signs, be-
cause they are a farce. If you keep
using them, don’t be ignorant and
two-faced and complain about Tordon
or any other mild herbicides.

Now it’s past time to get off your
rears and let the railroads and
highways ministry do their job to clean
up our area. I rest my case.

‘All aboard’ Via Rail

Greetings from the Via Rail “Can-
nonbell” as it rattles away to the East
and out of the sunset.

We are sitting in the “bar” amidst
the rumble and the roar of drunks in
competition with the noise of the train.

The trains travel much faster than
formerly because the new double-
tracking enables the mile-long ca a

onto a siding to allow a freight train to~

trains to pass without
thus avoiding the delays that sill to
oceur.

We are now in the Eastern time
zone: Passengers consist of Americans,
Australians, English and a mixture of
“purebred” hybrids like ourselves.

We had a delicious dinner tonight —
filet of sole. As I said Grace before
eating I said: “Bless my soul” and it
was good.

We passed the huge pulp mill at
Dryden. A few short years ago this mill
released its effluent directly into the
river with the result that downstream
Indian people were dying from mer-
cury poisoning. Now the pulp mill has
constructed huge settling ponds and
lagoons. Is it possible that certain local
pulp mills could be encouraged to
squander a portion of their profits for a
similar project?

We are supposed to arrive in
Montreal at 10:30 p.m. tonight. We
shall board the “SS Stefan Batory” at 2
p.m. the following day. I hope to mail
this letter from this Polish ship so don't
be surprised if it finally arrives in
Castlegar and includes a Polish joke or
two.

Next Day.

It was cloudy and damp this Friday
morning. It is interesting and humor-
ous to walk through the coaches and
observe the way passengers sleep —
various legs and arms protuding into
the aisles. Some sleep with pillows over
their faces as though they were
protecting themselves from the coming
daylight.

A strange incident occurred at White
River last night. Our train had pulled

Our train red in Montreal at
10:40 last night — only 10 minutes late;
remarkable efficiency for a 3,500-mile
trans-Canada trip. We stayed at the
Queen Elizabeth Hotel, had a luxurious
bath and a restful sleep.

Next day's muggy, hot weather
added to frustrations that tired us. We
couldn't contact our Montreal friends
as they were away this weekend. Since
the banks were closed, it was im-
possible to cash travellers’ cheques for
more than $100.

The hear (33 C) and the humidity
was most debilitating; I spoke to a
guest from Arizona who complained
that in his state people suffer when the
humidity and heat in their desert cities
climbs to 25.

It is now 3 p.m. and we are aboard
the SS Stefan Batory — we sail at 5
p.m., Halifax-bound. The passengers
consist of many Polish people from
most states of the U.S: and most
provinces of Canada, especially Que-
bec. All are friendly and pleasant; some
are even cuddly!

Later: The trip down the St.
Lawrence River is beautiful; views of

grassy sand bars with herds of dairy
cattle cooling off in the shallows. In
places the river is 1% to two miles
wide with dozens of pleasure launches,
water skiers and flocks of seagulls
circling the stern of our ship.

We experienced our first boat drill
and I even had a little plastie whistle to
play with.

The little towns and villages along
the shores are so picturesque in their
green pastoral settings. A dominant
silver, gold or copper spired or domed
church is always the centre and heart
of these peaceful gentle places. On
looking upon such scenery, the feelings-
within one’s self can only be of
happiness and peace.

Now I must close and attend to other
mundane matters. Tomorrow, we shall
commemorate our golden wedding
anniversary.

Nelson man
to be deported

By The Canadian Press
Frederick Nauchbauer, a
computer software program-
mer who lives in Nelson, will
be deported to West Ger-
many on Aug. 20 even though
he has spent all of his adult

years in North America.

Al Thiessen, acting mana-
ger of the regional employ-
ment and immigration office,
said his department had been
waiting for a German pass-
port for Nauchbaur, 36, be-
fore setting a deportation
date. The passport arrived
Tuesda:;

y-

Nauchbaur, who now lives
in Nelson, emigrated to Can-
ada when he was 11 months
old, but his parents failed to
take out citizenship for him.
In 1964, when he was 13, the
family moved to the United
States.

Although his family re-
turned to Canada within sev-
eral years, Nauchbaur re-
mained in the U.S. for 20
years, completing high school
and university, then working
in California.

He returned to Canada in
1984, but was told by Im

migration Canada that be-
cause he had stayed in the
U.S. for so long he had lost
his permanent residence
status in Canada. He was or-
dered deported.

Nauchbaur, who formed a
computer software distribu-
tion company six months ago,
said his brother and sister-
in-law will carry on his busi-
ness for him.

He said he has two uncles
in West Germany that he
knows and plans to contact
them, but said he is not very
fluent in German.

“Just like anyone who has
lived in North America all
their life, going to Europe (on
a de tion order) is not
something that is easy to ac-
cept,” he said. “I'm just flab-
bergasted that it happened.”
