We’re usually wrong in our predic- tions but that doesn’t stop us from trying. Our guess is Premier Vander Zalm will opt for a late fall election. It’s blatantly obvious that the campaign has already. started — unofficially — as a result of the premier’s déCision in early August that he would be ‘‘taking government to the people’’ through a series of public meetings with his cabinet. Mr. Vander Zalm's plan is now un- derway with a series of whistle-stops on the Sunshine Coast where the government is employing the tried-and-true method of winning votes — spending money. Two of the goodies announced are_a $1.5 million health centre for Campbell River and planning funds for a $3 million health centre for Powell River. The premier also told a meeting of business people that the govern- ment could combat an economic downturn by spending millions of dollars on road, ferry, health, justice and education projects. That’s a hint of what the central issue of the campaign is likely to be — who’s better able to manage the province’s economy in what most experts believe is an inevitable recession, an experienced Socred gover- nment or the New Democrats who haven’t been at the helm for 15 years. — It'll bea ‘a tough call for the premier, whether to call a vote sooner or later. A spring vote would give the Socreds a few months to dole out the dal-t goodies while the party’s new the sci ted MLAs who have wisely chosen not to run again — and the voters : get to know each other. 3 But Mr. Vander Zalm seems to be laying the groundwork for a > campaign now and our guess is he’ll decide to strike while the issues he raises on his provincial tour are fresh in the minds of voters. However, don’t ask us to bet money on it. There’s one thing predictable about the premier — he’s unpredic- table.

The director of The Valhalla Society promises to ‘fight the process” if the issues of intervenor funding and sustainable forestry practices are not taken into consideration by the panel reviewing Celgar Pulp Co.’s expansion plans. In turn, Mayor Audrey Moore describes the statement as “‘threatening us,’’ and Dale Donaldson and (in a letter on page 4 of the same issue) Bob Bagg argue that those who do not accept Celgar’s analysis should not receive funding for an objective analysis. John Charters identifies those who challenge the expansion proposal as coming ‘‘from the peripheral areas of the Kootenays.”’ Iam surprised that Mayor Moore identifies herself with Celgar rather than with the whole public. I am surprised that the businessmen not only cannot tell the difference between partisan and ive studies, but seem to think that those who Customers last By TERRY O'SHAUGHNESSY The prospect of another labor strike at Canada Post is not exactly news for Canadians who have, out of necessity, grown somewhat ac- customed to this annoying fact of life. Years of labor difficulties at the post office have hardened the public to the inconveniences, if not downright damage, of Canada Post’s peculiar—form of service. Unfor- tunately, we are all going to be facing more of the same as early as Septem- ber when things come to a boil bet- ween postal management and the union. Well, what’s new this time is the potential for the largest postal walkout ever in this country, a walkout which would combine all the sound and fury of CUPW’s patented strike technique intensified by the fact that, thanks to the 1989 union merger of CUPW and the Letter Carriers Union of Canada (LCUC), letter carriers and inside workers would walk out at the same time. Bill Parsons, director of national affairs for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, says that there is no reason to expect that the usual hard bargaining negotiations, along with the customary threats from both sides, will be any different this time round. “It’s going to be acrimonious,” says Parsons. ‘‘Whether it will get as ugly as last time remains to be seen.”” Parsons hastens to add, however, that the effects of a postal strike on small businesses in 1990 are quite dif- ferent than in previous years. “‘There’s no doubt that a postal strike would again hurt small firms,’’ he says, “‘but not as -much as during the recession of 1981-82 when more companies were dependent on mail delivery and resulted in many actually going out of business because of the strike. The increased use of fax machines, for example, makes a big difference. Of course, one aggravation the fax can’t relieve is the simple disgust that many will feel at the thought of being at the mercy of striking posties yet again. But the fact of the matter is, despite improved delivery standards, the customer is always tast at-strike time. Terry O'Shaughnessy writes a regular column for the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. Pensions slammed By DAVID SOMERVIEL Taxpayers beware — Trough Day is coming! On Sept. 4, the 75 Members of Parliament elected just six years ago will qualify for pensions worth $30 million. That's scandalous but true. MPs enjoy a gold-plated pension plan that no one in the privaté sector could ever afford Under the MPs’ pension plan, after only six years of service, an MP qualifies for a pension which: © has unlimited protection against inflation; © starts immediately upon flation rate, the amount he receives in pension benefits could double or even triple. From then on, for the rest of his life, his pension rises every year with inflation. Actuarial experts have calculated that a 36-year-old MP who quits after six years could receive an incredible $1,627,580 in pension benefits if he lived tobe 75. That’s-considereda conservative estimate! Also, MPs contribute a mere one per cent of their incomes to provide for unlimited protection against in- flation. That, of course, is the irony. While believe Celgar’s plans may endanger the community should go up unaided against the power of immense corporate wealth — as if wealth alone justified power. 1 am also surprised that John Charters, with his long experience and documentation of the social and historic ties of the region, should suddenly see people who live within the realm of Celgar’s forests, truck arteries and effluents as “«peripheral.’’ How then will he describe Celgar’s owners, based in Montreal, the United States and China? Believe me, Celgar affects more than the City of Castlegar. Any attempt to discard Kootenay people outside the city as outsiders to the issue flies in the face of fact, common sense and common decency. What do all these good movers and shakers of the City of Castlegar promise through the expansion proposal, and what do they fear to lose, that calls up these bitter emotions and words? Celgar and the city promise us that, somehow, they do not say exactly. how, we will lead richer and better lives, the Millenium will come a step closer perhaps, that progress cannot be denied. Progress thus far nas meant air that’s often unfit to breath, a river that’s always unfit to drink, fish that are utterly unfit to eat, and forests whose diversity and glories are chewed up and sent back to us as beer cases, toilet paper and newspapers, use@ once then cast into the garbage. In return for this, we get jobs that keep us from living our own lives, money that is perpetually devalued by the actions of governments, banks and corporations that are plainly beyond our control, and greed, want and violence in society. The myth of progress is based on widely held but unexamined belief, just as is much religion. But as a religion, progress leaves much to be desired And what do the environmental advocates fear and promise in their turn? They fear damaging of the earth and its ancient and subtle systems that keep us all alive, and they promise stewardship toward its survival. To this end, they ask for the right and power to examine a proposed change that will long and greatly affect our region. Mayor Moore may consider that a threat, if she pleases. We may also consider it a timely defence. Now is the time for each of us to respond wisely to these proposals for change, or face the consequences. We are responsible for the way we live in our region. I note recent reports of the significant and dangerous concentration of dioxins, products of Western technology, pulp mills included, in Inuit mothers’ milk. When a way of life poisons the milk in mothers’ breasts — and in“‘peripheral”’ areas at that — perhaps it is no longer a way of life. Does Mayor Moore consider that a threat? Do you? Dr. F. Mark Mealing Castlegar Future threatened I have worked at Celgar Pulp Co. for the past 16 years and on many occasions I have not been proud of my association with this mill. The smell in the valley and the color in the river is not something anyone would.be proud of. Countless times I found myself trying to defend the operation of the mill to friends and family alike, with little success Even though the workforce at Celgar is skilled and dedicated, the mill is vintage 1950. When the mill was first built, very little concern was given to pollution, but times have changed. Many millions of dollars have been spent upgrading and improving the mill over the years but this is not good enough. What’s needed is a completely new mill with the best technologies available anywhere in the world and the provisions to include new technologies as they become viable. I feel this is exactly what Celgar is proposing. When the modernization was first proposed, several groups were formed to investigate and question its implications. I think they have done a good job. They have ensured that Celgar’s management is committed to the very best technology and equipment available anywhere However, there are some who protest for reasons that are only their own. These people threaten to delay the project and in doing so hope to stop it completely. I hope these people realize they are threatening my family’s future along with several hundred other families in the area. I do not take their threats lightly. I encourage everyone to look at the proposal and make their own conclusions. It is very seldom that an opportunity arises that will clean up a bad situation and create more jobs for people in the area. We cannot allow this one to pass us.bj-, ; James Rysen Castlegar Time to be heard I am using this medium to urge those who support the Celgar pulp mill expansion to please raise their voices to be heard. It seems to be generally felt by the public that the expansion is a given. This is just not the case. If ever there was a critical time for those whg support the expansion to be heard, it is now. I have read the summary of the second stage report submitted by Celgar, and I am confident that Celgar is 100 per cent dedicated toa state-of-the-art mill. While not wishing to stereotype anyone, I do know that many of the people protesting the expansion are not residents of the immediate Castlegar are and are not directly affected by it. Many of them are not concerned with the economic factors at risk. They are not interested in using Celgar’s open houses for their intended purpose — to educate themselves or to have their questions answered. They are not interested in a cleaner mill — they desire no mill. I feel confident that the majority of the area’s citizens are in support of the expansion. For most of us, the thought of parading around with signs is a bit uncomfortable. So is showing up at an open house and rudely shouting and screaming at everyone. The protesters, on the other hand, think quite the opposite. They thrive on this sort of thing. The more attention they bring to themselves and their cause (whatever it may be), the better. This is not constractive disagreement. Some hide behind the excuse that they want to make sure the new mill will be as clean as the reports state. But if they manage to delay things long enough, even if the panel grants approval in the end, the expansion project could be lost. While placards and shouts are not required, the support signified by a letter to the review panel and one’s presence at the open houses and hearings bears a great weight. A submission to the upcoming public hearings by any local organization — whether it be a religious organization, the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides or any local business — could be very important to the outcome of the panel’s decision. The time remaining for a decision is not great and a few moments taken from one’s schedule to signify support for the expansion could prevent one having to say, ‘I should have done something.”” Pauline Bankert Robson Laura Benson Castlegar Please address all letters to the editor to: Letters to the Editor, Castiegar News, P.O.

Negotiating for the cleanest mill possible i isan i and ile goal, but for no mill is, in my opinion, no goal at all. People who are attempting to *‘stop’’ Celgar have an How can we be responsible ne is pollution? of people are i aware of how they personally can be a part of cleaning up the world. It is a -roots approach where we as individuals realize that we do make a difference. Secondly, there is a social recognition of the problem. Governments are becoming more involved in pollution legislation. It also is a slow process, but it also is gaining Why do we, our children and their children have to keep paying $41.2 billion yearly for decades without end? Who are we paying this money to? Why is it that we cannot get answers to such simple questions from our politicians? One NDP supporter tells me that no polit n will ever answer such questions for the moment they reveal the truth about the national debt, they commit po! ide. Their sponsorship and and simplistic understanding of society and pollution. Pollution is commonplace in today's society, so prevalent that we do not even know what the normal state of nature really is. Pollution permeates everyday living. In fact, when you think about it, to consume means to pollute. How can we live and not pollute? It is a complex problem and its solution is no simple task. Simply closing factories and reducing transportation to walking is not a realistic option in today’s world. It took several hundred years of the industrial revolution to get us where we are now. Undoing all the bad associated with that process will not happen overnight. People want the things that cause pollution. People are the reason for which there are factories, cars, pulp mills, etc. Culture will have to change. Culture is changing, but it will not stop. “*Stopping’’ Celgar does not stop the demand for the things which Celgar makes. People will go elsewhere to get them. Elsewhere, in today’s world, usually means the underdeveloped Third World countries which are more concerned with putting food on the table than with what goes into the’ water, air and soil. Stopping Celgar, in this light, only adds to the pollution problem. It does not alleviate it. Celgar’s nization is an example of this process. No one believes that the mill will be 100 pet cent pollution free and no one is saying that the legislation regarding pollution is fault free. The p of the Celgar i money will be cut off. Is that the real reason for_refusing to give us these simple answers? If so, then the politicians have sold out their constituents and the country to the “‘international modernization, however, are saying that the new mill will be one of the most environmen responsive in the world. It is our responsibility to ensure that this pollution-free process continues. Time is running out. Let us show by example. believe it is a step in the right direction. Support it. Steven Miros Castlegar Debt vote touted In your Aug. 11 editorial, ‘*West can lead in solving debt crisis,’’ you state that, ‘‘this country’s hational debt is $360 billion (with interest alone this year of $40 billion!) and this debt will likely double ° by the end of this century if left unchecked.”’ The Province (Feb. 23, 1990) statesthat annually we pay $41.2 billion interest on the national debt. If we multiply the annual interest of $41.2 billion by 10 years, we will pay $412 billion in interest alone. If we substract the $360 billion debt from our payments totalling $412 billion, it would still leave a tidy profit of $52 billion for someone. That is a profit over 10 year. But how many decades have we already been paying this debt? ** Campaign funding, fancy salaries, expense accounts and preposterous pensions have taken precedent over honesty and justice.
