: MORATORIUM

‘Continued from page Al pol told the board the BCMA was “not one of the most revolutionary groups in the province.”

: Vanderpol said he did not kriow enough about nuclear pliysics to determine whether uranium mining could be con: ducted safely, but he also challenged Chabot’s expertise on the subject.

: “The only thing I do know is when I listen to people who have studied these materials, T'm scared,” the Area J director said. “I'm scared enough to at least halt for a moment and consider it seriously.”

In addition to giving notice of his i ti

more appropriate agency to police the China Creek ceil Rutley said a PCB official, visiting the drill site Inst ny took samples of water passing into the drill as well as seepage from the weir Manny had constructed to contain the flow.

But the official would not answer questions on the PCB's role in the matter and when asked whether the results of the tests would be available to the public he said his super- visors would decide whether the information would be re- leased, Rutley said.

“He is only doing what he is allowed to do by legislation,” he said. "We have a situation

which directors will vote at their next regular meeting— Vanderpol won board support for a motion to investigate the validity of the Regional District of Thompson Nicola bylaw Rut- ley suggested could be used as a restraint on exploration and mining.

Rutley told directors ear- lier that under Section 702AA of the Municipal Act adoption of such a bylaw “would give to a regional district authority to contro! certain types of devel- opment when used in con- junction with other parts of Section 702."

The bylaw, submitted by Rutley to the board for exami- nation, requires anyone plan- ning mining activity to obtain a development permit from the regional district board. One of the requirements for the per- mit is “the preservation or dedication of natural water courses.”

Rutley, chairman of the ad hoe committee organizing Gen- elle residents’ opposition to the drilling, told directors they were authorized under Section 519 of the Municipal Act “to enact by bylaw regulations prohibiting fouling or impeding any water course.”

Board chairman Art Sut- cliffe showed reluctance to consider enacting such a bylaw, and suggested provincial and federal government ministries be requested to deal with the problem. He pointed out that such a bylaw could not be tetroactive to damage which has already been caused by exploration.

“In that case, maybe we can move tonight," Vanderpol said.

“No way,” ber interjected.

Asked whether the Pollu- tion Control Branch would be a

another mem-

where | us everywhere we turn.”

(Contacted this week PCB regional manager M.K. Baillar- geon, the official who took the test samples, confirmed that under the Pollution Control Act the PCB had no direct respon- sibilities in the matter. He said he collected the samples on behalf of the water rights branch in a joint inspection of the site with water rights and mines ministry officials.

(But Baillargeon said he, as well as water rights branch authorities, would make results

of the sample tests available to *

the public.

("That's fairly standard practice,” he said.)

Area H director Norman Brewster told RDCK adminis trator Reid Henderson his examination of the bylaw should not be “too narrow,” and asked him to suggest ways of strengthening any weaknesses it might have.

On a motion by Area F director Dave Pearce the board also followed Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco's recommenda- tion that the federal govern- ment'’s “committee on nuclear issues in the communityt’ be invited to convene in Castlegar.

In a letter to the board Brisco suggested the board send the committee secretary an official invitation to a meeting sometime in early August.

Reading from the letter, Pearce noted that the com- mittee members included bio- logist and ecologist Patrick Moore, president of the Green- peace Foundation as well as other individuals with exper- tise in such fields as engineer. ing, medicine, political science, physics and worker safety.

Meeting Tuesday, Castle- gar city council voted to en- dorse the proposed meeting,

Continued from page Al having completed formal train- ing on its proper use,

A report to council sald Vigue explained to the commit- tee that through the experience gained by using the gun and the knowledge he obtained from reading various publications concerning the use of the gun, chemicals and humane killing methods that he considered himself “quite qualified to use the gun expertly and effi- ciently.”

Vigue told the committee his use of the gun three times in the past three years proved he was being selective and respon- sible in using the gun, the report said,

It said the dog control officer added that the psycholo- gical factor associated with the gun proved very useful and he was prepared to govern the use of the gun through an agree- ment.

will be working toward that.”

Contacted yesterday Jack Huff, CanCel's vice-president in charge of pulp production, told the Castlegar News he felt the PCB decision was “the right one, based on the facts at hand.”

The board considered not only our facts and figures but also used their own expertise,” Huff said.

Questioned later, commit- tee member Ald. Gerald Rust told the Castlegar News the fish and wildlife branch had indicated it was not prepared to offer the dog control officer a course in use of the tranquilizer gun, The only other alternative training was available from the gun's manufacturer and would involve a trip to Atlanta, Ga., he said.

Rust said the gun has been municipal property for about 10 years, It was purchased by the Town of Kinnaird and “used by the dog control officer of that day,” he said,

The use of the tranquilizer gun came under close scrutiny several months ago when a residents dog on which it was used, died. Vigue was ordered to take instruction on its use before using it again.

deadline for its power boiler, he said the company was confident the renovations to it would provide Level B emission stand- ards, but pointed out that the terms of the upgrading could not be “diamond-studded and written in blood.”

Asked whether he foresaw the mill eventually satisfying Level A standards, Huff said such a move would be about "10

- years down the line” and depend on the technology avail- able as well as the acceptability of Level B standards at. that time.

DEMONSTRATION

“The aircraft has proven to be excellent for fire fighting because of its capability of

having been designed to work off carriers," said Weslowsky.

Details of the provincial fire marshal's reports on fires at two area sawmills last month remain unavailable. Neither William Clydesdale, the inves- tigator assigned to the fire which caused more than $6 million. damage to CanCel's main and smallwood mills here June 17, and Scott MacNeil, assigned to the blaze which destroyed the Slocan Forest Products mill's office building in Slocan City June 25, could be reached for comment this week

Gordon Stewart, the B.C. School Trustees Association representative appointed spokesman for the WKEEA— which also included the Nelson, Trail and Grand Forks school districts—was unavailable for comment.

Con Air is presently in the process of refitting another of these aircraft but it will not likely be available until next fire season, he said.

Coroner Carl Loeblich was at the scene of the accident shortly after it occurred. A RCMP spokesman i the Castlegar News it ) appears there will be an inquest.

Emergency. Landing Here Sunday Night

Castlegar Airport again became the focal point of an emergency air evacuation Sun- day evening, demonstrating for the third time since its closure, which ended ‘May, the vital link it plays in the district.

At 10:20 a Lear 35 jet landed, guided by hurricane lanterns which were strung along the runway.

Airport manager John Michelson told the Castlegar News the aircraft took off immediately with what he be- lieves was a Creston woman,

The haste, says Michelson, was not a matter of saving a life but in hopes of saving the woman's thumb.

Though not officially con- firmed it is understood the woman had badly mutilated her thumb when a rope had become entwined around it while water skiing. It was also not clear where the incident had oceur- red but the flight was auth- orized by Trail Regional Hos- pital.

“I submit that before any regulations are pro- longed that the control must be put on those people who are affecting the problem and not on those people who are respecting the rules and regulations,” he said.

“When the point of regulations was first broach- ed by this council this year, it was made very clear in advertisements at that time that there would be no further warnings. Now we're going around and warning people, and I sub- mit that is not the intent of the origi regulations pro- posed,"

The report containing the recommendation, sub- mitted to council by Ald. Albert Calderbank, works and services committee chairman, said the water level in the tank, near Kin- naird Junior Secondary School, dropped by 23 feet— about 191,666 gallons—dur- ing sprinkling 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. Monday.

“I've been under_no illu- sions as to what dealings we would have with the provincial government,” he said. “Nor do 1 have any illusions as to what we would have in our dealings with CanCel.”

He said CanCel, which agreed in March to lobby jointly with the city for the Arrow Lakes tie-in, is respon- sible for Castlegar’s lack of an adequate water supply “but has agreed to nothing.”

“That's the reality,” he

said. “We're in July, we've got seven feet of water in our tank, CanCel is still sitting there and* we're no further than we were an hour ago.”

Gouk said he felt the water committee was “making head- way" with CanCel.

“Whether there’s a prob- lem with CanCel or not, our present major stumbling block is the provincial government,” Gouk said.

total of 342,860 gallons dur- ing the 4.6 hours until 9 p.m. and the total water used during that period was 534,- 024, the report said,

According to Lutz's re- port the tank was “filled and back to normal" 2:30 a.m, Tuesday, In the Kinberry Heights tank the level was down to 15 feet because the pumps at the school tank had to be shut down, it sald, while the Meadowbrook Road tank was full and its pumps had been shut off.

Lutz said in the report he would “like to try present regulations for another day or two.” He recommended that if during that period the school tank level was drawn down to 10 feet or lower, the 7am, to 10 a.m. watering period be unchanged but the evening sprinkling period would end one hour earlier at 8 p.m.

“We do not want to

_ havea moratorium, we don't want to stop building, we don’t want to do anything,” Calderbank told council. “The only way we can do that, is to make damn sure the people obey the regula- tions. I think it's only fair to those who do obey the regu- lations that those who don't should have their water shut off.”

He said Rust's points were “well taken” and he added that residents must be made aware that when the water level sinks to seven feet “there's very little margin there.”

Local Forestry Fights First Fire of Season

A water bomber attended the first fire of the season for the Castlegar area when brush went into a blaze near the Pass Creek School.

The fire was contained ina small area with the help of local residents and the forestry su- pression crew.

Safety News.

A woman was driving carefully along the highway when there was, a, substantial bump on the roof of her car. She was fortunately uninjured, and learned it was the wheel of a light aircraft that was having engine trouble.
