CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, March 22, 1979 - WITHDRAWN Continued from page Al J representative will also attempt to determine whether the Erlgatlon board in nearby Fairview wish to be included in the gtudy. “T think the funds were made available for this water system because it has the ability to be a supply for the entire area,” he Said, “I think Castlegar, hopefully, would view quite favorably an application from us to tie into their system.” Although the district’s share of the new system would have to be negotiated, Cook said the board was “confident we can bring in the water at a reasonable rate.” : . ‘The cost of the pipeline extension itself to Blueberry residents would have to be d by the proposed study, he said. “It would involve a storage tank, because without that your fire protection would be negligible, and approximately 8,000 feet of line, which I imagine would be 10-inch,” Cook said. But he pointed out Blueberry would not be able to tie into the supply until the city completes its third phase of pipeline lying the planned industrial park at the south end of Castl pected to be i “The costs really can't be worked out until we find out what Castlegar is going to spend in getting the system down here,” he said. Interviewed earlier this month, Cook explained the board was “really not interested in delaying the Castlegar water supply" but wanted to protect the district's interests in the new source, viewed as an eventual replacement for its vulnerable Blueberry Creek watershed, Inti between of the city and of the various rural water districts in outlying areas more than a year ago, the Blueberry Creek district board declined to participate in a bulk system with Castlegar because according to estimates in a feasibility study by the engineering firm Kerr, Wood, Leidal it would increase rate costs from 22 cents per 1,000 gallons to 82 cents. Although the Robson and Ootischenia water districts were not interested in participating in the joint water supply, the Blueberry District board asked Vanderpol to keep the district informed on the availability of better systems of funding it. The board received no further news on funding until the announcement last month that the federal and provincial governments had agreed to provide Castlegar with $4.5 million in aid for construction of the Submits Brief Opposing 80-Unit Apartment Woodland Park area resi- development at ‘the site would dents warned of invasion of involve the use of 1.2 acres for privacy, increased traffic and two 17-unit apartment buil- extra strain on schools Monday dings, The second phase would as a public hearing on the involve the use of the re- proposed use of 4.6 acres of maining portion of the 4.6-acres d in two to three years. city’s planned $6 million Arrow Lakes system. LOW BIDDER WAITS from page Al the workload is ex- mine whether their skills and experience “fit the require- ments we foresee for the jobs.” Although he had yet to talk in detail with airport personnel he said he thought they would fit Adga’s requirements “for the most -part” for the positions. Asked how he saw Adga's role in the communities served by the airport, he stressed the importance of getting the com- munities involved in recog- nizing the facility as a valuable asset. He said the company would support the concerns of the local airport advisory com- mittee, chaired by Dr. John Hall, “to whatever extent. pos- sible.” ee i “Certainly we'd be emis- saries of the ministry of trans- port on this contract,” Simpson said. “Part of our job is to establish a good rapport with the communities.” “We're in a funny posi- tion,” he continued, “Our client is the ministry of transport from a legal point of view and a financial point of view, but from, an operational point of view our client is the people who live in the area.” Simpson said the airport ministry would be given full responsibility for*making sure” that the operation keeps both clients happy” while O'Reilly, stationed in Vancouver within easy access to both Castlegar and the transport ministry's regional office, would handle negotiations with the ministry. The Adga vice-president said he would personally: be involved in overseeing the management of the facility, “getting it started and making sure that it's running cor- rectly.” He said he expected both the normal size of the airport crew and the level of airport service to remain unchanged. “As far as the contract is panding,” he said. “As far as the users are concerned they won't see any difference unless it’s an improvement.” Outlining the company's responsibilities if it were awarded the contract, Simpson said Adga would follow policies and regulations set by the ministry. Although ministry staff will continue to be respon- sible for air traffic control, the air radio station, the weather office and maintenance of elec- tronic equipment, he said, the operation and maintenance of the airport itself would be land on Third Street South as the site of up to 80 apartment, units continued. as the site of two 23-unit buildings. Ina brief sub tocity council’ members during. the two-hour hearing — extended from last week’s hearing to allow property owners who would be affected by. the pro- posed multi-family residential zoning of the west portion of 200 Third St. S. more time to express their views — resi- dents said approval of the pro- posal by Koocanusa Develop- ment Ltd. would be incompa- tible with the single-family dwelling surrounding it, The brief said the proposed two-phase development would disrupt the privacy enjoyed by the owners of single-family dwellings in the area and result in excess traffic on Woodland Drive, the area's only access route, if approved. The Woodland Park area residents’ brief also warned that nearby Woodland Park Elementary School would be overloaded as a result of the population increase According to rezoning plans submitted to the city by Koocanusa, the first phase of would organize it, how we would run it and Transport Canada officials I guess put their stamp of approval on it.” “We're a professional en- gineering organization and over the years you don't survive in this business unless you have a good reputation, Simpson said. The Adga vice-president cited the call to tender of future ministry contracts as the sec- ond reason for the “special onus” which would be on the company in Castlegar. “If we do a good job here we'll have a much better job of Adga’s “They provide the equip-: ment, we provide the materials’ — with two exceptions, foam for the firetruck and urea for spreading on the runway to keep the ice down,” he said. “Otherwise we will be pro- viding all the materials,” he said. “The electricity, gas, oil and everything we will be calling tenders for from local suppliers.” The contract would also include maintenance ofa part of the airport not serviced by the city, Simpson said. He said janitorial services and mechani- cal and electrical maintenance at the air traffic control tower would also be required of Adga. Asked about reports that third-party management of other small airports for the transport ministry provided inferior service and cut back on manpower and equivalent, he pointed out the ministr: such airport operations “ii a handful of situations. “It's not common,” he said. “I don't know of any claims that. they've cut corners or skipped or anything like that.” “I can say for our own (proposed) operation here that we explained in our tender the staff that we would employ if we were successful and how we Private Service Held For Lori Irma Cooke: Private funeral service was held Saturday from the chapel of the Castlegar Funeral Home for Lori Irma Cooke, a former resident of Castlegar who died Oct. 9, 1978, Borh in Renatta, Nov. 11, 1925, she was employed by the University of British Columbia Catering Service for 90 years, Miss Cooke came to Castle- gar in 1977 and resided with her mother until her death, She is survived by her- mother, Lvina Koch, of Castle- gar; two brothers, Arthur and Erhar Cooke, both of Castlegar and two sisters, Mrs. W. B. (Melita) Fromson of North Vancouver and Mrs, Clara Hale of Castlegar. She was predeceased by her father and one sister. Rev. Lowell Kindschy offi- ciated at the service. Cremation followed. with other tenders,” he said. “It’s only good bysiness to do a. good job.” “We did our sums and budgets and it came out to be $800,000 for three years,” Simp- son said when asked how as low bidder Adga could make the Castlegar Airport operation a profitable one, “I have no idea what kind of estimates other people used,” he continued. “It's our profes- sional judgement that's going to be what's required, and I'm sure we can live within that without ‘too much trouble — pending a disaster or some- thing.” i “The other thing is that we're a well-established, repu- table well-financed organization as well, so if things get tough we'll have resources to fall back on. We're not living from hand to mouth with this contract.” WESTERN DRUG MART Economiser NEW DEAL Continued from page Al “We were trying to put it in the ministry of edu- cation’s hands and let them carry the ball,” Anderson said, “But they just totally and flatly said no.” : Renovations to the faci- lity have been delayed by a deadlock between the edu- cation and housing minis- tries over ongoing deficits in the operation of the resi- dences, The college council voted last fall to accept the housing ministry's offer of $50,000 to cover repairs in return for taking over opera- tion of the residences, but asked for a deferment on the offer until new provincial logislation, offective in Feb- Tuary, gave them corporate autonomy to enter into such an agreement, vrehe yy NSCS iS (is CUTBACK Continued from page Al Association had requested: a meeting with the board to discuss the cutbacks, but said it was too late for trustees to reconalder the decision, “Our final budget was in on Feb. 15," she said, “The matter is really decided. When ‘we looked at our budget last year we were really over a barrel and we're still going up three mills and we're not too happy about that.” Contacted earlier Monday, CDTA president Jim Norris said he did not know whether the board’ had made a final decision on the elimination of the preparation time and the 10 positions, He said CDTA mem- bers feared such cutbacks would reduce the librarian ser- vice available to students, Norris said the preparation time allowed elementary school teachers to plan more effective instructional programs, “When you take away that time'and reduce the staff you _ take away that flexibility which * makes the programs more effective,” he said.
