Come out of shadows—MP SKEENA MP Mike Scott is challenging B.C. aboriginal affairs minister John Cushore to “come out of the shadows” and debate the province’s native land claims policy. “There have been a lot of accusations of bad faith or bad motive,” Scott said Monday. “So let's bring the whole issue out into the open and trust in the “Dracula effect™— that sunlight destroys evil,” “Let's look at the govern- ment’s position, and at criti- cisms of it, and let’s do it in front of a microphone and a camera, so that British Columbians can make up their own minds,” There’s still little solid infor- mation available, Scott said, adding thal rumours and leaks continue to feed public fear and mistrust.

Council split on rec fee hike COUNCIL WILL vote Monday night on a recommenda- tion to juck pool and arena youth fees by [5 per cent instead of the originally proposed 38 per cent. City councillors Val George, Ruth Hallock, Rich McDaniel, and Ed Graydon agreed the origi- nal increase was too much and supported the idea of dropping it to 15 per cent. But councillors David Hull and Gordon Hull steadfastly " opposed the change, arguing that taxpayers already subsidize recreation to the tune of $1.1 million. “You're saying that the aver- age taxpayer who never sets foot in the arena should pay more eve- ry year,” Gordon Hull responded. “If they've got the gall to scream for a $4.7 million arena, they shouldn’| squawk over a $13.50 an hour increase in the rates,” he said during debate at Monday night’s committee-of- the- whole meeting. Thornhill and Lakelse Lake regional district directors Pegzy Julseth and Sandy Sandhals also backed council’s original fee increase, but they don’t get a vole, Mayor Jack Talstra std he also thought 15 per cent was too low, and suggested the rates should go up at least 20 per cent. He called on councillors to carefully reconsider the issue before next week’s vate. Only one of the four would have to switch sides to swing the vote and result in higher fees.

That plan calls for a 23.3 per cent increase in youth rates at the arena, to $45 per hour. Adult arena rates would rise from $91 to $115 — up 26.4 per cent. The amount of the taxpayers’ subsidy (to the parks and recrea- tion department will be $52,000 more this year than it was in 1994. That’s mainly due to the three per cent increase in the wases of J CUPE workers this year. - IN HOLE’S 199 FREE CATALOGUE Thow(ands of plants, iduding many Hnique and rate variettes.
