Some had it easy

Central Kootenay Regional District director Martin Van-

derpol was returned as Area J (Robson-Raspberry, Bril- liant, Ootischenia) director

for another two years Mon- day.

Vanderpol and Area B (west of Creston) director Ran Aasen were both elected by acclamation.

Finally, council plugged another loophole in the ori- ginal anti-noise bylaw which would have made it illegal for BC Timber's Celgar opera- tions to operate.

Section 7 used to prohibit “the venting, release, or pressure relief of air, stean or other gaseous material, product or compound from autoclave, boiler pressure vessel, pipe, valve, machine, device or system,” from 11 p.m.-7 a.m. (9 a.m. Sundays.)

The bylaw meant BC Tim- ber legally couldn't release steam after 11 p.m. or before 7 a.m. (9 a.m. Sundays). Now the bylaw adds, “other than in an approved designated industria] area” — such as the Celgar operation.

The other 11 bylaw sec- tions are still in effect, and council agreed to review the revised bylaw over the next two weeks and amend it or

Makes proposal to city

Continued from page Al eliptical site for development because of the low land cost.

He said low land coste will ensure the project car: go ahead where the recent First City Investments project on Columbia Ave. failed. He said the First City proposal would have returned just 2.7 per cent on the investment be- cause of high land costs, where the eliptical site will return at least 10 per cent.

Charne stressed the major supermarket and department ‘stores attracted to the com- plex must be different than in Nelson or Trail so the mall will draw shoppers from the two larger centres.

The mall will privide 200 full and part-time jobs — ‘where a city works yard would employ just 20, Charne said. He added the proposed mall is also more compatible with an area’s existing plaza and hotel, and would provide Bet only more

juildings than under indus- trial use, but would provide a greater tax base.

He said First Commercial looked downtown but couldn't find a “suitable site” to make the investment worthwhile, he said.

Two ti id

Charne pointed out he has contacted a number of de- partment stores not now in Nelson or Trail, and so far has received a reply from just one — Zellers — the same store First City Invest- ments attempted to obtain for its proposed shopping mall,

Carne said Zellers is inter- ested in Castlegar, but not unless the property is zoned for construction. He added he can’t see any major store committing itself unless the site is properly zoned.

“I have an excellent rela- tionship with all the depart- ment stores not represented in this community,” he said.

But Ald. Charlie Cohoe .was skeptical. He said council ‘has seen other developers come in with promises, but “they've all let us down.”

He said he isn’t convinced Charne will have any more success than First City, add-

dents just don't want aay more traffic congestion, he said.

As he understands it, Co- hoe said, area residents would rather have a works yard than anything else — if they had to have something.

“Access was the focus of much discussion. Cohoe added, “I'm just not con- vinced access in and out of that site is a reality.”

But Charne said his firm isn't making “idle promises” and offered to enter into an agreement whereby the land would revert back to its original zoning if the com- pany’s proposal does not go ahead.

Ald. Carl Loeblich sai’ he agreed with Cohoe, but also felt there should be develop- ment in Castlegar. “If we don’t have development, we're dead.”

Loeblich added he has never been in favor of the works yard at the site, despite having voted twice in favor of an ion by-

and there has never been a vote on any such bylaw.

Loeblich added his major concern is if the firm will fulfill its obligations.

Ald. Carl Henne said he liked the idea that no small stores would be included in the mall and felt that point would receive the support of downtown businessmen.

Ald. Albert Calderbank said he wants to see the proj- ect go ahead, but added, “Unfortunately, you have the wrong site.” He said Wood- land Park residents would be strongly against the prop- osal.

City engineer Igor Zahy- nacz said council wouldn't have any control over traffic and noise from the shopping centre — like it would over the works yard.

He also said if that site, the First City parcel, and the Boels site near the Hi Arrow hotel are all developed it could mean the downtown area might suffer. He said th Jan indi

were reported to local RCMP on the weekend, both having occurred Saturday.

A vehicle driven by Michael Malekow of Crescent Valley escaped damage when it was in a collision with a 1981 Pontiac driven by Cath- erne Vandungen of Castle-

gar.

Vandungen and a passen- ger in the vehicle, Ken Ken- nedy, were taken to hospital by ambulance suffering head injuires. :

Damage to the Vandungen vehicle has been estimated at $6,000. The incident took place on Highway 3 at the weigh scales.

se

A single vehicle accident, with the driver identified as Brenda Stewart, 20, of Castlegar, resulted in $3,000 damage when it left the road and rolled, at the intersection of the D-D and Lower Ootis- chenia roads.

No injuries were reported.

It was erroneously re- ported in the Oct. 25 issue of the Castlegar News that Shelley Briggemen, 20, of Castlegar was charged with failing to yield after her ve- hicle was in collision with another driven by Fred Christian, 61, of Kelowna.

Cohoe added that he doesn’t want to overregulate residnets, but at the same time a number of people have “confronted” him over the years with noise complaints.

He said council has an “obligation” to respond to those complaints and the re- vised bylaw attempts to do that. He admitted the first proposal was “a little bit harsh.”

Ald. Albert Calderbank added that the only problem the revised bylaw doesn’t properly address is modern bands which want to prac- tice.

He said the bylaw makes it hard for “budding” musicians to practice, but suggested the recreation commission investigate setting aside

establish a policy on the “ex- traordinary costs the city is assuming.” She said city staff were sent to Vancouver last week for a meeting and the city has had to retain a soli- citor.

As well, she's worried about future costs for inde- pendent consultants when the Hydro studies are made public.

She suggested Hydro pay these costs. “I really don't think any of you want these costs passed on to the local taxpayer,” she said.

Moore concluded that Mykes and Hydro have been cooperative and have dis- closed as much as possible at this stage. She said Mykes even raised the possibility of a city impact committee,

a proofed area for modern groups to practice.

Chemicals are hurled

WARSAW (AP) — Mil- lions of Polish workers defied Communist authorities with a one-hour nationwide strike today and Solidarity union leader Lech Walesa ‘said: “I want this to be the last strike of this kind.”

The protest, the first na- tionwide strike in seven months, ended at 1 p.m. and most workers returned to their jobs.

But miners in southern Sosnowiec said they will re- main on strike indefinitely after men ina car hurled four bottles of chemicals at a mine. pit, sending 61 men, women and children to hospital

In an interview Monday

Turning to Keenleyside dam, Mykes said transmis- sion corridor studics there are still in the very early

ge.

Past studies have been done on the dam's generating capacity, he said, but never on the transmission lines:

He said it is only “a month or so — maybe just weeks” before there is a preliminary decision on the Keenleyside dam. However, he said that will be just the beginning.

Consultants have yet to start to study the environ- mental impact of the Keen- leyside project, he said, and will only go to that stage, if feasibility studies are posi- tive.

Mykes confirmed Hydro is looking at Keenleyside dam separately from the Murphy Creek project, though it is possible it could be tied into Murphy Creek.

with the C News, Mykes said the water level won't necessarily mean all residents at or below the level will be flooded out.

He said Hydro will have to look at the situation and might dyke, fill in low levels, reinforce stable slopes, or raise homes.

He said slope stability studies have been under- taken, but are not finished yet. “That's still some months off.”

Hydro has preliminary fig- ures on how many homes and who might be affected, he said, but those figures could still change “radically” de- pending on a number of things, so he declined to make them public.

The Editor, Castlegar News:

Re Ootischenia garbage dump.

Our Central Kootenay regional district as the oper- ator of this facility has been a dismal failure, even to a final humiliation of having to pay a fine to another branch of government.

The people who pay taxes to support our regional dis- trict are not getting value for their money, when a most essential service like a reg- ional garbage dump is re- stricted to a point where access is only available at most inconvenient times.

The bloated bureaucracy with fancy offices, expensive staff and consultants are a heavy drain on the taxpayer, and should be done away with. Our provincial M.L.A.s can well co-ordinate the various departments such as the Dept. of Highways, Dept. of Recreation end Conser- vation and others for the benefit of the unorganized areas. The money saved by doing away with this super- flous level of government can pay for many essential ser- vices. In a denfocracy, the people are the employers and the elected and, appointed representatives are the ser- vants. Too often this concept

economics to dictate, it will be one of shopping centres and industrial parks — pre- cisely the direction in which Castlegar is now headed. Instead, why not let a bright, new facility set the tone for the way we feel about our living-space, and the direc- tion in which we want to go?

I would also like to ask those of you who are so dead set against a new library to ask yourselves this question: how often have I been’to the library in the last month? The last year? And then go and see!
