VANCOUVER (CP) — The design of buildings, streets, neighborhoods and towns can either encourage or discour- age crime, say supporters of the theories of Crime Pre- vention Through Environ- mental Design.

Those theories are already being applied to the town of

S.Sgt. Jack Hest, the RCMP's crime prevention co-ordinator for about 120 B.C. detachments, said Tum- bler Ridge is a unique op- portunity for an “experimen- tal laboratory.”

Residents of Spokane wouldn't buy that pitch last week when it ran as a news- paper classified ad. George T. White said Thursday he placed the ad “out of desper- ation.”

The 30-year-old unem- ployed handyman said he had hoped to get a “mailbag this high” full of envelopes con- taining $1 bills. He got none.

The ad read: “I would like to borrow $1 from someone with a $2 return. No bull!” It ran for eight days and dir-

He said he had hoped to receive “probably about $20,000 to build an energy plant on my own design. It’s using air in a different way, in a way that a lot of people don’t think will work.”

Fined for aiding friend in arson

WINNIPEG (CP) — Kara- lampos Broumas, who helped to arrange a fire a year ago at a restaurant in north-end Winnipeg, was fined $6,000 when he pleaded guilty to arson.

Court was told Broumas, 38, helped to hire an arsonist and paid him $1,500 to set fire to the Big Dipper Res- taurant, but he himself stood to gain nothing from the fire.

Broumas did “a stupid dangerous favor for a friend,” Crown counsel Bill Morton

said Tuesday. The fire caused $20,000 damage and sent another man to hospital.

Morton said, “It isn't often for no profit to himself a man agrees to take part in a dan- gerous criminal activity that is subject to 14 years in prison.”

Court was told the injured man, who suffered burns that left him in critical condition in hospital for weeks, has recovered and is awaiting trial for arson.

MacBain tops aldermanic poll

By Cas News Staff

Longtime Castlegar resi- dent and well-known com- munity worker Bob MacBain topped the poll for the two-year aldermanic seat in last night’s Castlegar muni- cipsl elections.

BOB MacBAIN MacBain, a 30-year resi- dent, tallied 1,428 votes to win one of three two-year

spots open on council.

Grey Cup today

The 1981 Grey Cup game begins at’ 10 a.m. this morning on channels 9 and 13 at Olympic Stadium in Montreal.

The contenders are Ed- monton Eskimos and Ott- awa Roughriders. The Eskimos, who boast a 14-1-1 won-loss-tied record, are 22% point favorites over the 5-11 Ottawa Roughriders.

A pre-game forecast will be televised on channel 13 at 9:30 a.m. with CBC commentators weighing strengths and weaknesses of the two contenders.

He was 78 votes ahead of his nearest opponent — Doug MacKinnon (1,350) and 250 more than third place incum- bent Carl Henne (1,158).

Frank Stasila rounded out the balloting with 1,091 votes just 67 votes short of the third and final -aldermanic position.

MacBain said he was deli- ghted with his victory but even more delighted in the voter turn out (57.8 per cent). “This was good because in the past we haven't really had enough people coming out and voting,” he said.

Of his own victory, Mac- Bain said he was not “wildly elated”.

“I am certainly going to do the best I can and work extremely hard for them,” he said.

MacBain said he was some- what upset over the defeat of the storm sewer referendum but pleased about the app- roval of the road paving referendum.

“Storm sewers are a crit-

on referendums

We'll be getting our stre- ets spruced up, but there won't be any new storm sewers.

Castlegar voters last night approved the $385,00 paving referendum but rejected the $605,000 storm sewer refer- endum.

The paving referendum — which will cost the average homeowner $16.73 a year for the next 15 years — was approved by 57 per cent of the voters (1,158), while 43 per cent (873) voted against.

The storm sewer refere- ndum was slightly closer with 55 per cent voting against (1,116 voters) to 45 per cent in favor (903 voters). The storm sewer referendum would have seen the average homeowner pay $24.60 a year for 25 years.

As it is, homeowners will start paying for the paving in 1983. *

Scrutineers at the com- munity complex noted after the ballots had been counted that many ballots were spoil- ed.

One unnamed ssrutineer said spoiled ballots for the sewer referendum may have been enough to “throw it over the edge”.

The scrutineer said unma- rked ballots and ballots mar- ked with two Xs were the most common form of spoiled ballots.

However, returning officer Ron Skillings said the spoiled ballots were actually fewer than last election.

“Voters are improving,” he said. They are becoming more educated and valuing their mark more.

However, he couldn't say how many votes had been spoiled until a closer count was taken.

Meanwhile, Stasila said he was “quite happy with the results”. He noted it was his first time running and he placed just 67 votes back of the incumbent alderman.

Stasila quoted a line from a national politician saying pol- iticians have to know how to win, lose, and win and lose with dignity.

“It was unfortunate, but that’s the way it is,” he added. Carl Henne was un- available for comment.

About half-way through the counting, the positions start- ed to become clearer as McBain took the lead, follow- ed by MacKinnon, with Hen- ne and Stasila battling it out for the final spot.

Incumbent Audrey Moore was returned as Castlegar mayor by an overwhelming margin in last night’s munic- ipal elections.

Moore: trounced former alderman Jim Gouk by more than 500 votes as she polled 62.5 per cent of the ballots cast.

Gouk managed just 783 votes (37.5 per cent) to Moore's 1,304.

The outcome seemed to come as a bigger shock to Gouk than Moore.

“It caught us by surprise,” Gouk admitted after the final tallies had been confirmed. “We didn’t expect it.”

He said throughout his campaign he had received strong indications of support.

“But when the chips were down they just weren't there,” he said.

Gouk. added that at one point in the campaign he was sure he could pull off the win.

“We figured we ran a good campaign; a clean campaign,”

he said.
