Six in NDP leadership race Local MLA backs Clark SKEENA NDP MLA Helmut Giesbrecht is supporting employment and investment minister Glen Clark's bid to be the next leader of the provincial NDP. Speaking last week, Giesbrecht said Clark, the front run- ner for the job, is the tight person for the Tight time, “'He’ll make a good leader and a good premier and he’s in the best Poston beat Gordon Campbell and Jack cisgeroer and articulate our visj ” sal Skee Mn our vision of B.C.,”’ said the Clark is the MLA for East Vancouver. He has the sup- port of the province’s powerful unions and announced his candidacy last week, There are six candidates for the job, including former cabinet minister and Vancouver tesident Joan Smallwood and Kootenay MLA Corky Evans. Evans is a logger by background and has worked on northwest forestry issues. And although he might be more closely allied to the northwest lifestyle and thinking than Clark, Giesbrecht said the employment and investment minister is his choice, “Corky is a hardworking MLA and a good person, He's very capable but for this time and for the Strategy in the next election, Clark is the person to deliver the goods,” Giesbrecht added, The NDP will choose its next leader, who will also be the next premier, the third weekend of February, Current premier, Mike Harcourt, announced he was step- ping down late last year in order to give the party a chance at a new start. Harcourt has been saddled with the Nanaimo Com- monwealth Holding Society scandal over the diversion of bingo monies for NDP activities, kkkkk Skeena NDPers are to choose their delegates the end of Neighbours play musical mailbox on the bench A DISPUTE between neighbours on the bench over where they should pick up their mail has turned into a game of musical mail boxes. Resident Don Gillanders first complained about junk mail and flyers littering his yard after five green Canada Post mailboxes were relocated to a spot in front of his North Eby St. house Jast May. A subsequent decision by the city, Canada Post and the highways ministry to appease Gillanders by moving the boxes a few hundred feet down the road, however, appar- ently did not receive the approval of neighbours. In the dead of night, says Gillanders, someone moved all the mail boxes back to the spot in frant of his house. Everyone but Gillanders likes that spot because there’s a good wide place to park. The other site forced residents to park in the middle of the road on a hill to get their mail. Councillors decided last week to give Canada Post a permit to have the boxes at the site near Gillanders house, but that ihey would review the issue in the spring. Gillanders wants council to help find a different site altogether that will satisfy everyone, Almost all of the 50 people who pick up mail there are from further up the road, outside city limits, says Gil- landers, adding other locations should be acceptable to them. But councillor Ed Graydon said any further movement of the boxes could merely lead to a new round of musical mail boxes. Councillor Ruth Hallock expressed surprise that anyone would take it upon themselves to move the large green boxes, which have 10 compartments each. “‘T thought it was a very serious offence to tamper with the Queen’s mail,” she said. ‘‘Moving mail boxes in the middle of the night seems like a definite violation of the laws of the Jand.’” Gillanders says the problem isn’t just litter. “There is an average 35 vehicles a day stopping in front of my home, day and night,” he said. “These cars and trucks come and go, engines running, doors slamming shut and loud music blaring, disrupting our farnily life.’ 635-TIPS Great Prices, One Way or Return > WRRAVARE |g STOPPERS One Way Central Mountain your NorthiVest Connector -800-663-3905 or Call Your Travel Agent Gy For Reservatlons Call Nowlll Some Conditians Apply Offer Expires February 22, 1985 Serving Seniors Serving our members in all we co...

An alternate delegate list will be made up if mare people than allowed want to be delegates. Giesbrecht said transportation costs, even though offset by a subsidy, could affect the number of people who will attend, “The experience in the north is that most delegates will be out-of-pocket,’’ said Giesbrechi. And he's not predicting a major battle between local potential delegates as to who they will support. “I’m not expecting a great contest between the two front runners to fuel that kind of thing,” said Giesbrecht.
