A mall located in the downtown core would, of course, provide all sorts of benefits. It would anchor a retail and service sector that is threatened by the proposed $6 million mall at the eliptical site near Highway 3. tt would also provide the stimulus needed for the long- program. And it would eliminate a major eyesore on 13th Avenue between the city works yard and the old Castlegar Hotel site (affec- tionately referred to by some as Tobacco Road). To complement the proposed 13th Avenue mall, Mr. Bosse has also suggested transforming his own building and the others on that block into a second downtown mall. He would like to see the in- ner part of that block covered so stores could face both outward to the street and inward to the covered section. The covered section would also increase retail space in existing to a single unit to provide enough space for a small mall. The only problem with Mr. mall proposal as presented this week to Castlegar council is that it hinges on First Commercial Management Ltd. agreeing to swap its eliptical site land for 15 lots along 13th Avenue. First Commercial president Ted Charne made it clear in an interview with this newspaper that that’s not likely to happen. That might not have been the case four, five or six years ago. Mr. Charne may very well have been more receptive to such a proposal then. But now, after working so hard to prepare his own property near the highway, he isn't about to suddenly throw it all out the window for a smaller mall site downtown. Mr. Bosse's proposal is good, but a little late, at least as far as First Commerical is concerned. Nevertheless, there's no reason Mr. Bosse and any other downtown property owner shouldn't try to convince another mail developer — First City for example — to take a hard look at the site. And if Mr. Bosse and others in stores that have b ts, because it would provide access to those basements. All in all, it isa novel approach. But then so is his concept of bringing together 15 lots along the ity are con- vinced about the mall's potential, they may even consider developing it themselves. It would certainly be a wonderful addition to the downtown. Ron Norman It was a two-bedroom home heated by a wood stove and electric baseboard heaters. The family went to bed around midnight Nov. 26, 1986 with the parents and 18-month old twins in one bedroom and the five-year-old son in the other bedroom. The mother checked the stove before going to bed and put one log on the fire and turned the damper down. There was not an excessive amount of wood in the stove and it appeared to be operating properly The twins were in bed with the parents. The father left and went into the bedroom with the five-year. old sometime during the night. The mother woke up about 3 a.m. and found her room full of smoke. She couldn't see a thing. She made her way to the bedroom door and thought she would check the stove in the living room but couldn't reach it because of the smoke. She didn’t know where the twins were and somehow ended up in the second bedroom with her husband and five-year-old. The three of them tried but couldn't get into the living room, so left by the bedroom window Neighbors arrived on the scene about this time buy couldn't get into the house because the interior was in flames. The local volunteer fire department arrived and extinguish ed the flames, but there was no sign of the twins. The two tots were located late in the afternoon on the kitchen floor under some rubble. Authorities assume the twins left the parents’ bedrooms after the mother fell asleep and went into the kitchen to play in the cupboards. They were caught there when the fire started. What you've just read is true. It happened fairly close to here — in Edgewood just up the Arrow Lakes. This newspaper reported the story at the time, though not in such detail because all the facts weren't made available at that time The latest details came from a coroner's inquiry report made pub- lic at a recent Regional District of Central Kootenay board meeting. I reprint the facts here for two reasons. It’s the kind of tragic story that we should all be aware of. House fires can be both devastating and terrifying. But more importantly, the fire was preventable. The coroner's inquiry goes on to say that an investigation shows the fire was caused by a wood stove that was not approved, and a chimney that was incorrectly installed. “It appears there were defects in the chimney and it was placed too close to the beams in the ceiling,” says the report. “The house was built in 1977 and over the years the beamg became drier and drier from the heat and through ‘thégloss of moisture and chemical reaction, eventually reaching a point where it started to burn even though the heat from the chimney wa8 not excessive. “The burn pattern indicates the fire started between the roof and the ceiling and worked down through the ceiling into the walls of the building.” A check with the Building In- spection Department of the regional district indicates there was never a building permit issued for this home and, therefore, there was never an inspection of the building or the heating system. The coroner recommended the regional district increase its en- forcement of building permits for things like wood stoves. The problem is, of course, not the regional district's so much as indivi dual’s. If homeowners insist on installing wood stoves without having them inspected or approved, then they will continue to run the risk of tragic fires. The Edgewood fire makes clear to us all that house fires don't necessarily have to start hecause of a spark from a stove or because of a roaring hot fire. They can start innocently enough on a night like any other night we've spent $191 million ona ...roach motel. capacity .

Coming soon is Mark of ‘Letters to the Editor NDP espousing ‘bull’ I read with great interest Lyle Kristiansen’s recent letter to the editor concerning cruise missile testing in Canada. I agree with him that Canadians “need to take the bull by the horns,” but the bull which needs to be taken by the horns is the “bull” being espoused by Mr. Kristiansen and his friends in the NDP. In his letter, Mr. Kristiansen makes one statement that is true and two that are patently false. Mr. Kristiansen correctly points out that Canada does not participate in the testing of cruise missiles to fulfill an obligation under NATO. However, he falsely a¢cuses the PC government of using that argument to justify a Easter ° time to rejoice All of us have looked forward to Easter from early childhood, as a time of fun and rejoicing — Easter eggs, festive new clothes, glorious, triumph- ant songs at the Easter Sunday church services! And then there are those extra days for a holiday trip, or for visits from loved ones. Yes! Easter is a time of rejoicing! We see the trees, bushes and bulbs show us that resur. rection life is a reality that brings us renewed hope in the life of the here- after. It even exceeds Christmas in this element. Do we, I wonder, give more than a passing thought at this wonderful time to the price that our Savior had to pay for this new resurrection life, that all born-again Christians enjoy? If we truly do, then we can return to Him the heart-felt, grateful adoration that is due Him. We can let His last words while on earth in the flesh take greater hold upon our conscious will. He gave us the way to fulfill the 10 commandments in our living by His royal commagd of love. And yet, knowing the ffilty of our humanness, He took our pon himself — He, the only perfect @e, was made sin for us that we migh made righteous in the sight of God; aéeepted — a child of God! x ° : (wry Ellen Eaton ‘Castlegar continuation of the tests. As well, Mr. Kristiansen is wrong in alleging that the prime reason we continue to test the cruise is to “procure an increased share of American defense research and defense production contracts’. . .” That is. nonsense. The PC government has consistently stated that it participates in the testing of unarmed cruise missiles because it believes it is an important contribution to the Pp i North Ameri: States. The breaking of an agreement respecting cruise missile testing would be seen in Moscow as a division in the West and as evidence of weakness in Washington. In the words of Joe Clark, Secretary of State for External Affairs, “One does not help people get to the negotiating table, and then, just when the hard negotiating is about to begin, weaken the side which one supports.” I am sure anyone who has been involved defence effort and the viability of the NATO Alliance's strategic nuclear deterrent. Cruise missile testing in Canada is conducted under the Test and Evalua- tion ef U.S. Defence Systems in Canada Agreement, signed in 1983 by the previous Liberal government. The agreement has an initial term of five years, automatically renewable for a further five years. The government has the, option of terminating: the agree- ment at any time on 12 months written notice, and can do so immediately in an emergency situation. To cancel the cruise missile tests at this time, as the NDP would have us do, would be a serious mistake as it could jeopardize the currént prospects for arms control. One factor which has led to a resumption of serious arms control negotiations is the consistent unity displayed by the allies of the United School doors open The great thing about our School district is the “open door policy” in all our schools. KJSS is in session from 8:30 a.m. - 3 p-m., and if you are feeling uneasy about your child attending this school, you have the right to come up and ob- serve in the classroom or throw a fris- bee on the field at lunch. Two supervisors and two teachers walk the grounds from 12:20 - 1 p.m.; numerous teachers assist ‘children in classrooms; and a student/teacher floor hockey game is usually going on in the gym. I know you will find your children well cared for and for most of them this school is a pleasure to come to. Karen Hughes Castlegar Rebels-Colts game should be preserved On April 3 I made a round trip journey of 480 kilometres to Cranbrook to attend the second’ game of the KIJHL series between the East and West Kootenays to determine the championship. Regardless of the final score, I was impressed and amazed at the skill and dexterity of the opposing members in the use of their hands and feet. How quickly they were able to shed those heavily padded and cumbersome gloves to defend themselves! After if one leads with his nose the recipient of such a thrust must protect himself. The crimson spilled on the ice nicely matched the colourful design at center ice. The officials, too, were impressed as they stood in awe and watched the teams divest themselves of any restraining clothing and warmly engage each other in splendid contest. The partisan fans, both male and female, showed a masterful command of the English language with an impressive use of colorful semantics spiced with clever ethnic remarks. The fans did not speak loudly enough as they could only be heard across the rink. It was undoubtedly a brave game and a vertiable example of good sportsmanship. We really must get the next similar game on video and show it on Channel 10 for everyone's enjoy ment. We could then entrust the tape to the Selkirk College archives to show for posterity how the game of hokcey should be played. A.B.

Some persuasive forces in the U.S. are urging thé~“American government to consider a broad interpretation of the Anti-Ballistic Missile (ABM) Treaty. Canada opposes such consider- ation and urges the U.S. to abide by a restrictive interpretation as agreed to under the original terms of the Treaty. There is a good chance that the Western allies, speaking with a unified voice, can persuade President Reagan to adhere to a restrictive interpreta- tion. Canada remains in strong support of the maintenance of the existing strategic arms control regime until such time as a replacement regime is mutually agreed upon. By honoring our cruise testing agreement with the U.S., and by remaining an active participant in the NATO Alliance, Canada can contribute to the negotiation of renewed arms control agreements. Canada has in the past has put forth specific initiatives for the Americans to consider raising at the neogitating table, and has seen those proposals accepted. Surely all Canadians would want to see that process continue. Bob Brisco, D.C. M.P. Kootenay West Closure a concern We have concerns regarding the proposed closure of the Castlegar foot bridge. A few of the reasons the bridge should not be closed in our opinion are as follows: A lot of students walk to high school and home, and to and from extra curricular activities. Many people use the bridge to get to town to do business or even to go to work, especially when the ferry is not operating, which is fairly often. Our bus (transit) system takes at least as long to get to town as it does to walk there and back by the bridge. The transit system, like the ferry, operates on a very limited time schedule. Asa parent of teenagers the danger ofwalking the footbridge are much less than having our children try to walk the railway_tracks, which I am certain they would go if the footbridge is owes. a Ron and Janice Johnson Please address all Letters to the Editor to: The Castlegar News, P.O.

A motion was passed at the council meeting Monday rescinding the mak- ing of 10th Street into a one-way road. This was done after much discussion at the meeting when a delegation of 10 residents appeared before council to voice their opposition to the plan. . 8 « One of the most unusual bridge spans to appear on the Canadian construction scene is under design for British Columbia, writes William A. Porter, technical field editor of Heavy Construction News. Highways Minister Phil Gaglardi told HCN that an all-concrete bridge span is proposed for the southern trans-provincial highway crossing of the Columbia River at Kinnaird near the Castleaird Plaza. . .

On Saturday night he was presented with three awards for his trophy which came just a fraction under size to set a new provincial record. Judging is through skull measure. ment and Mr. Lightle’s cougar mea sured 14 18/16 inches while the “big one” shot 20 years ago, was 15 5/16 inches. . . The rains came to Castlegar last Wednesday to give our community an unenviable statistic. On that day Castlegar became the wettest spot in British Columbia. During a 30-hour period, 1.08 inches of rain fell, but it caused no problems as far as flooding was concerned. The previous week, it should be pointed out, Castlegar was the warm est place in British Columbia. .

Wes Guymer told the Castlegar News this morning two members are presently investigating the poisonings wi intensely affected by this issue as 1 do. As I hear more and more public diseussion on the matter I feel an resdiaiies my own philoophy. is ay my own phi ~ In my opinion it is not enough to say glibly capital punishment. We pds yon know why we hold our particular views and if we do not have the confidence to debate or argue in public we should be at Jeast be sure that our opinions can stand up to the serutiny of our own neces. In examining my own beliefs I have not changed my conclusions, but I have certainly thought through some aspects of the issue which I had never cot before. I cannot win every argument put to me and I cannot solve every problem, but it is good to feel that I have reasons to believe as I do, especially when, as one who does not favor the return of the death penalty, according to the public opinion polls I am in the minority. I do hope that all of those who favor capital punishment, ineluding our own member of parlia- ment, will think through the issue as carefully as I have done, and most of all I hope that they will have the courage to look at all sides of the question and make honest decisions. Firstly, it does not appear that capital punishment is a significant deterrent. Hanging was abolished in this country in 1976. In 1977, according the figures for CBC News, there were 628 homicides. In 1985 there were 651. On a per capita basis, allowing for population increase this is in fact a decrease in the number of murders. The purpose of any punishment, in my opinion should be to deter or to reform, not to seek vengeance. Capital punish- ment has not proven to be a deterrent, and of course offers no possibility for reform. Another relevant thought is whether murder is always the worst crime and deserving of the harshest penalty. Consider for example the individual who for financial gain traffics in harmful drugs, contributing to destruc- tion of lifestyle and even life itself for innumerable victims. Consider . also those who suffer continual premedita- ted physical or sexual abuse which stops short of murder, but is a form of prolonged deliberate torture.

If one wishes to learn about violence and assault, one has only to watch television for a couple of evenings, It is perhaps possible that there could be some kind of some brutal cri criminality. The beneficial effects capital punishment have never been d.

This would of course be difficult and controversial, but one never knows — it might of far more effect than a return to capital punishment. Or there might be ‘other measures which could be taken — have we ever thought of other possible alternatives? : Tt is costly to keep offenders in jail. dink “te ‘ Texas, where capital punishment is routine (22:in the last two years) the average offender is iy prison for at least six years before he has exhausted the appeal p: and the homicide rates are the same and follow the same trend over a long period of time, regardless of the use or non use of. capital punishment. We are told that this is not a party political issue,.and indeed many leading Conservatives are against the death penalty, but there is no doubt that if _ capital punishment should be restored, it would be because of the Conserva- tive vote. Only a small. number of Liberals are at present in favor of the death penalty and all of the New Democratic Party are against it. It is of inferest.that in Britain, where the public legal costs for each person executed is approximately $1 million. Capital punishment is not a cheap alternative. Capital punishment in my mind has only one advantage: The killer definitely cannot kill again. Statistics tell us, hqwever, that paroled murderers very rarely do kill again. Yes, admittedly, society takes a risk, just as we take risks by allowing alcoholics to carry drivers’ licenses. One is more likely to be killed by a drunk driver than by a_ paroled murderer. The risks that we. take in keeping a murderer alive and in prison is no worse than other risks which society is willing to aceept, ‘and of courge there is no danger of the wrong person being executed. It is said that the side effects of capital punishment are devastating, same sy has been raging, and where we were told that over 70 per cent of the population favored a return Defence Init (SDI) and his government's policy towards Nicaragua. The NDP outburst was not only uncalled for, it was CHEESE unnecessary. The president was headed for a cool reception on these two issues anyway. Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has already sent a clear message to the U.S. that Canada does not back SDI, or Star Wars, as it is commonly known. He did so when he rejected an invitation to participate in the development of the proposed system. Likewise, the Canadian government has repeatedly stated, both at home and abroad, that it does not condone President Reagan's support of the Contras in Nicaragua. President Reagan knew Canada's position on these two issues. He certainly did not need to be reminded by the NDP. The unfortunate effect of this incident is that it deprived Canada of a golden opportunity to send a loud and clear message to the American people that it is serious about controlling acid rain, negotiating an enhanced trading arrangement and settling the dispute over Artic sovereignty What they heard instead was that the president was interrupted and heckled-during his speech by “left-wing to capital puni has just recently voted against a return to the death penalty. Certainly, such surveys should have no bearing on one’s own personal decision. There is no substitute for reasoned argument which ‘will satisfy one’s own conscience. It is difficult to change a person's mind on an issue as emotional as this. I am hoping that our member of parliament, whom supported, will at least consider all sides of the issue. It is so easy to make a “snap” decision or to state one’s beliefs .without having thoroughly analysed ‘them. People ' will : hold diff€rent opinions on’ capital ' punish- ment but they should at least be “considered” opinions, based on careful analysis of both points of view.

But this was neither the time nor the place for expressing opinions. A distinguished visitor, such as the president of the United States of America, deserves the common courtesy of being able to state his views, regardless of whether or not we as individuals or as a nation agree with them. The president finds little agreement these days in the U.S. Congress, yet during his recent State of the Union address, he was not subjected to the kind of behavior, which confronted him in the House of Commons. I wonder how Canadians would perceive U.S. representatives if their prime minister was heckled during an address to Congress? As columnist Claire Hoy put it, “You don't invite someone into your house so you can insult him, particularly if you know beforehand that you have conflicting outlooks.” Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of this blatant display of bad manners and bad taste is that it comes from a party which seeks to govern.
