THE NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFESSIONALS

_ Wider City Council Split _ Expected Over Planning

‘Castlegar can expect continued polarization of city council “for the next ’

few years” over land development here, ‘according to urban planning ex-

pert Donald Gutstein.

Gutstein, researching planning and land use trends in the area in

: ‘preparation for a lecture and seminar here last week, said in an interview ‘with the Castlegar News that the pressure for growth, balanced against “a ‘growing awareness amongst the citizens” will probably ensure "very clear- :cut differences” in the positions of incumbent and would-be council mem- ‘bers on development.

Citing the apparent existence of two factions on council, he said council's chances of making planning decisions as “one happy family” are “gone at least for the next few years.".

“I think it’s going to be quite interesting: politically in this city in this coming election and in-the next couple of elections,” said‘ Gutstein, a

.freelance writer who has a

master’s degree in architecture and is a former teacher of urban

“design at the University of B.C.

“I think there are going to

: be very clear-cut differences in

the candidates who run in

: terms of which side they're on.”

Noting the extent of public

‘opposition to such’ proposed developments as a 116-room

otel on Seventh Avenue South, hich won council approval in a lit. vote, and an up-to-80-unit

of the apartments represented “a pretty clear message to council.”

“Regardless .of who does get elected to council, council’s going to have to be a lot more careful with what kinds. of

things they do,” he continued. * . “They're not going to be able to

run roughshod over the com- munity, they're going to have

“Just talking to people you seg,they're not too happy, from their point of view, with, the behavior of some of the alder-

men,” Gutstein said.

he said. “That's one important thing ‘that’s going to have repercussions over the next few years.”

Gutstein said notifying residents at an earlier stage of the development process and public notices announcing the submission of development pro- posals — suggestions made at a planning seminar in which he

took part at Selkirk College —

as ways in which the city's planning process would be More open and polarization over land development could be avoided. :

“T think a large part of the reason why people get very hostile and opposition-minded is that they're not told about it until it's so late in the process that it’s all they can do,” he explained.

“But if they're brought in earlier and you can get a kind of dialog happening between coun- cil and the developer and local residents. I. think you get a

can get around that polarizing. kind of situation.”

- Alcohol, Drug Use Rising . Among District No. 9 Students

Despite the increasing use of alcohol by students and a general ignorance of the affects of drugs, there is no immediate plan to institute a learning program into the educational system, the vice-chairman of the School District No. 9 board of trusteés told the Castlegar News last week. .

- “There is more alcohol Msage than ever, and the drug problem is difficult to guage,” said Anne Jones. _ Jones said a family life program is currently in effect to alert students about sexual problems and pregnancy, but no-one seems to be alarmed about the drug and alcohol problem.

The issue came to light

when a drug case involving a Castlegar student was discus- sed by trustees at the ‘last regular school board meet- ing. According to Jones, the student involved had previously been an above-average pupil, and had been unaware that his grades were declining or that care in his personal appearance had deteriorated. -

She said the youth had been a marijuana user but was apprehended while using anoth- er drug.

“This seems to support the theory that they start out on grass, and then go on to some-

thing stronger,” she said at the’

meeting. “Nobody seems to be at all

medical profession,” she said Tuesday. “The drug and alcohol problem is at a much more critical level, than the sexual question involving the stu- dents.”

“I'm sure most parents would be supportive of such a program, but ‘first there is a need for qualified instruction,” Jones said.

She added that the board is concerned, but has only re- ceived “the cold shoulder” when the possibility of imple- menting such a program was suggested.

“We thought it might be possible to tie it in with the family life program, but those

involved at the instructional.

level did not seem at all

The letter assured coun-

«cil that safety “has always

“been of paramount impor-

the precautionary conditions included in permits issued by the Pesticide Control Branch are not always ap- preciated to the public,” Newroth said in the letter. “If a permit is granted and the decision is made to use 2,4D, a survey of local water intakes would be undertaken and alternate water supplies would be provided, if necessary, until 24D was non-detectable.” “This is a self-imposed safety factor of one‘hundred- fold over levels of 2,4D in drinking water considered safe. by international health authorities,” the letter con- tinued. “If a treatment was being considered. in the

tion intake, as for the City of Castlegar, and costs of pro- viding alternate water were prohibitive, then 24D use could not be contemplated.”

Newroth — who was quoted late last month as saying a search for a dif- ferent water supply might be necessary in the event the herbicide is used in the Arrow Lakes — said in the letter that the ministry has “incorporated many preven- tive measures® into the 1979 program in addition to the use of dredging and 2,4D to contro! established milfoil colonies.

“This year the quaran- tine project will include a highway check station at Midway for vehicles trailer. ing boats,” the letter said. “This should help protect the Arrow Lakes from trans- port of Eurasian water mil- foil ‘fragments from the

Okanagan Valley.”

NEW FACILITIES of Public Frel, htways were put into service last week.

ct, turning off the Castlegar-Christina Lake sheds, the new $300,000 building ig more efficient handling of in- coming and outgoing freight. West Kootenay branch manager Peter Picton told the Castlegar News the growth of business over the past 17 years has.

The company begon serving the area in 1962 at its Sixth Avenue South location and has increased ite handling of freight from less than one million pounds to six million pounds per month. An official op ing, allowing both customers and the general public to view the new building firsthand, is to be announced ot a later date.—News/MirrorFotos by Lois Hughes
