Kwantes was one of a series of
federal election hopefuls to spend
time at Caledonia.

Each had a chance to give a
short speech outlining their plat-
form and then take questions

from the audience.

Although very few were old
enovgh to vote, there was no
shortage o£ questions or opinions,

Kwantes” told the young
audience there has been a decline
in the morals of the country.

“There has been a gradual ero-
sion. from the Christian heritage
that this was country was founded
on and served it well,”’ he sald.

When it came time to questions,
some students wanted to hear
about ithe background to the
party’s platforms.

“It sounds like it’s all religion.
What about free trade?’’ asked

week. Students first heard the platforms of the candidates and
then had a chance to ask questibns.

one student.

Kwantes countered the first part
by saying that law everywhere
has a morality, no matter what it

was for free trade, Kwantes said
it made litile sense to ship out
Taw logs.

“We ship out far too. much in
the form of raw materials. We
Should look after ourself first,”
he said.

Kwaates did get into a back and
forth with several students on the
treatment of young offenders.

His analogy of having a person
pay restitution after damaging
somebody else’s door, was ques-
tioned.

“How can you pay for the door
when youre in jail,” said
Kwantes.

‘But you’re not in jail. It’s get-
ting off scot free,’ a student

Reformer will not release
land claims policy paper

REFORM PARTY candidate
Mike Scott won't release a paper .
northwest party workers have de-
veloped on native issues.

He says the paper hasn’t been

considered’ by the party’s com-
mittee on aboriginal affairs, of
which Scott is amember.
The paper’ could be mis-
construed. as policy, he said,
when it only constitutes the ideas
of some members in one region.

"We're trying to define more
specifically how the party should

" proceed with that ‘Particular is-

sue,'’ Scott said, ;

Scott says he has no problem
discussing his own vicws as a
candidate on the issue.

“The issue-of land claims has
to be addressed,”’ he said. ‘*It’s
an issue-that has an impact on the
resource base which translates
directly into jobs.’’

“For both aboriginal and non-
aboriginal peoples we need to
have certainty on the issue. As
things stand right now we have
ho certainty.”

Scott says the party is com-

DESPITE WARNINGS local tax-
payers will end up paying the
price, council last week narrowly
approved a variance request by a
Sunset Drive property owner.

. Jack Peters has received the go-
ahead to build houses within 11ft,
of the front property Iine instead
of: the’ 25£t. minimum Hormally
required. .

Councillors Bob Cooper, Rick
King and Darryl Laurent voted in
favour of the relaxation with Ruth

- Hallock and Mo Takhar opposed.

‘In’ arguing : against approval,
Hallock pointed out variances
were ‘not granted for neighbour-
ing residents,

Facing the same problem as

Peters; a sharp drop-off running
through their’ lots, they had to

bring in fill to solve the problem —

of meeting setback requirements.
“What was good for them
should be good for any new de-
veloper,”’ she maintained.
- That view was echoed by Tak-
her. Noting the present residents

had oppoted the application from
the beginning, he added, ‘I don’t .

Laurent, ‘having initially indi-

Also at last week’s mecting,
councillors agreed to pass the
power to.cxempt properties from

to city staff.

Until now, any request to relax

that requirement has had to come
to council. |

Another student thought that if
the Christian Heritage Party
wanted to treat 16-year-olds like
adults ifa serious crime was com-
Mitied, it should also treat young
people like adults by lowering the
drinking age.

“The alcohol problem in this
country would not be helped by
lowering the age,’
teplied.

He also fold the audience the
Christian Heritage Party is the
only one to oppose abortion for
any reason.

““What if your wife was
violently raped and a child was
conceived. Do you think she
could really stand having that
_ baby in her for nine months and
* then look at it?’’ asked a student.

“There could not be an excep-
tion in a case like that for an
abortion,” said Kwantes. ‘That
child is a person and has a right to
live,’’

Kwantes brought with him a
bundle of brightly-coloured pens
bearing the name of the Christian
Heritage Party.

Arrayed on a table beside him,
they were snapped up by depari-
ing students after the session was
over.

WINTER SAFETY:

ALWAYS AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE TO DRIVE HOME |.
Can you spot black Ice in time to react when you are driving?’ |

Probably net. ;
Black ice which forms on pavement Is virtually invisible. “Black

Ice", a very thin layer of frozen moisture, causes nO apparent
change to the road surface,

So how do you guard against a road hazard which you can’t aven
see? By driving slower when the air temperature is at or near the
freezing point. This is when black ice most frequently occurs, By
being extra cautious when approaching bridges and curves, By
being aware that the air temperature outside your car - particularly in.
the momings and evenings - may be changing as you proceed in

your travels.

And by remembering that, while you can't actually see black ice J - 4

you should always be “watching” for it.
