CBC on line

in Washington {365-5210

WASHINGTON (CP) — Even in Washi ‘a political capital accustomed to abstruse argument about oddball issues, the current Canadian debate about the Crowsnest Pass rail-freight regime came babbling out of the radio ne recent night as a puzzle in bafflegab. :

Midway through the broadcast shouting match betwee: Don Mi and Les B policy spokesmen respectively for. the Conservative and New Democrat parties in the Canadian Commons, a mystified Washingtonian muttered:

“Whatever are they talking about?

“What in the world is — are they saying ‘The Crow'?”

The Crow dispute was an item:on As It Happens, the CBC Radio public affairs program that has just become a regular late-night feature on a Washington radio station.

Mysterious north-of-the-border fare is in there every week-night with all the long-distance telephone interviews on matters of wider import and interest. On the night in question, for example, there were elaborations on news from Lebanon to New England. 5

After two years of push from the CBC, backed by the Canadian Embassy, the program was adopted in early October by WAMU-FM, a Washington link in the U.S. system of independent, non-commercial stations financed by local listener donations and government money. :

Although the Toronto-produced program has been available free of charge to American public radio and aired elsewhere in the United States for the last two years, its arrival at last in'the U.S. national capital is regarded as a

“The Canadians have been real hot to get As It Happens on our station for a long time,” says Craig Oliver, program director of WAMU-Fm. “The previous program director couldn't find room for it, but when I took over this fall I decided it would fit in well at 11 p.m.”

The decision coincided with a financial crisis in U.S. public radio. Austerity hit the National Public Radio

network's Washington-based production centre. News and.

entertainment programs — and staff — were axed. Affiliated stations, such as WAMU-FM, brought in outside agency and filled other with more canned music.

While there is no cash payment for the CBC programs, says Shea, the Canadian public radio gets non-monetary returns such as “a lot of facilities and assistance” from ‘its U.S. client stations.

CITE DIVIDENDS

Another important dividend in CBC eyes is improved access to U.S. information sources, who tend to be readier to talk for programs aired in their own locality than for alien broadcasts. :

That, says Shea, is what makes a Washingtonoutlets so important: National politicans and federal officials are more likely to talk to the CBC when they know they and others may hear those interviews aired locally and possibly in constituencies elsewhere in the United States.

CONGRATULATIONS . . . Bob t wife Marjorie after topping the aldermanic poll in last night's Castlegar

By RON NORMAN Editor

For the second time in as many elections, Bob. MacBain topped the polls in the race for three two-year alderman’s seats in last night's Castle- gar municipal elections.

MacBain, who just completed his first term on council, ran away with the election. He had 882 votes — outpolling runner-up incumbent Carl Henne by 147 votes.

Henne was involved in the night's closest race. He edged out former

‘alderman Albert Calderbank by only a

‘single vote. Henne had 685 votes

compared to 684 for Calderbank.

Both men earned a seat on the new council. i

with his victory, though surprised at the results.

“I'm surprised I'm this far ahead of two good men,” he said in an interview at his victory party. “It’s a good feeling to know that I’m supported by the community by such a margin.”

MacBain said he enjoyed his last term on council, adding, “I think we'll have a good council.”

He said Castlegar's fortunes will depend “on what happens to the

However, he said that he is “sure that in a few years time Castlegar will come out of this in a very fortunate position.” ’

Albert Calderbank said he was surprised at the close race between he and Henne. However, he said he is “very pleased” to be back on council.

Calderbank served six years on council as an alderman before taking a one-year leave last November. :

He too said the new council should be “a good team. We've all had a lot of experience.”

Carl Henne said he was a little surprised by his second place showing in the polls.

“I didn’t know how much Id hurt myself as that public forum,” he explained. “I might have lost a few, but I gained some too.” qi

Vanderpol was obviously happy over the result, but especially over the record turnout.

“I believe with the APC (Advisory Planning Commission) trying to put

Tymofievich said it is doubtful he will run again, but will take it one year at a time. And he wished Vanderpol the best of luck.

He attributed his loss to Vanderpol's overwhelming popularity in’ the area,

“It was my first try. If and when I do try again —I doubt I would try again — T would fair a little better,” he said.

LEO PERRA stopped in tracks

By RON NORMAN and DIANE STRANDBERG

Nov. 22. A shadow has been cast over that day — seemingly forever — and all because President John F. Kennedy was shot that fateful morning in Dallas 20 years ago.

In time, the assassination will be nothing more than another page in American history. But for several gen- erations of people, the memory of that day remains clear today.

In Canada and in the U.S. it is hard to find anyone who doesn’t remember where they were and what they were doing on that day when the news flashed through.

We asked a number of the area's prominent residents what they were doing when Kennedy was shot and Without exception, everyone could tell us exactly what they were doing.

The result is interesting because it reveals some insight into human psychology (we seem to vividly remember shocking events).

It also sheds a little light on the individuals them- selves. We learned that many residents weren't living in Castlegar 20 years ago, but were in far flung places such

as Baie Commeau, Quebec; Moscow, Idaho; and West Linton, Scotland. : sae

The day seemed to be a watershed. It was the end of an age of relative ii Th ft fi and violence became more commonplace.

It was also the first real use of television to cover a

event and it the of the newest member of the media from its infancy.

“I was living in Baie Comeau, Quebec,” recalls Mayor Audrey Moore. “I remember going upstairs and turning on the TV and hearing this flash . . . It absolutely staggered my imagination.”

Moore said she then called an American friend living in Baie Comeau to tell her the news.

“In most of our lifetimes it was a political assassin- ation close to home,” Moore added.

Judy Wearmouth, Castlegar librarian: “I was in my house in West Linton, Peebleshire in Scotland near Edin- burgh, sitting listening to the radio. They interrupted the broadcast.”

Wearmouth recalls: “It was quite a stunning thing I don't think anyone will forget.”

Tommy Biln, Pharmasave owner, was working in his store at the time.

“I remember it very distinctly,” Biln says. “Earl Rourke walked in and told me... He came in for a prescription and told me, ‘Did you hear Kennedy was shot?"

Castlegar News publisher Burt Campbell was working on the paper — then located in the present Loomis office — when his father, L.V. Campbell, brought the news.

“‘Burt,’" he said, “ ‘John Kennedy's been shot.’ I remembered my heart almost stopped, it was that kind of shock. And that weekend we all sat in front of our TV sets.”
