Watmough says sewer killed re-election hope

LES WATMOUGH says his sup- port of ihe Queensway-Churchill Drive sewer cost him his seat as

regional district director for Thomhill, Challenger Pegey Julseth

defeated Watmough in the race for Thornhill 261-204, —

He claims opponents of. the sewer project worked against him.

“I's unfortunate when you try to do something positive to im- prove your community,’’ Wat- mough said,

“Some people decide that’s not the right way to go and use every-

thing they can against you to tear that down and defeat you in an election.”’

The sewer project was approved by a vote of 168-124 last June.

Watmough suggests the more than 100 people who opposed him were critical in his loss and Julseth’s victory. a

“My election was lost’ by the sewer referendum and the work I had done on the sewer project,’’ he said. “‘Some of the things that were said on the doorstep were not correct. But that's politics, I guess.”

Watmough said opponents also

Scott secures Hill

THE SPEAKER has spoken and Skeena Reform MP Mike Scott is now in his new Ollawa office.

Scott had been involved in a battle -with Saskatchewan NDP MP Vic Althouse over space in the West Block on Parliament Hill.

The office had been occupied by Althouse since his first elec- tion In 1980 and the veteran MP objected to being removed after political parties divvied ‘Up space last month.

Althouse did appeal to House of .

Commons Speaker John Fraser, the mean who mms Parliament Hill, but his plan to stay in his spot didn’t work.

‘Scott now says Fraser has or- dered Althouse oul.

“My name is on the doar, but I don’! have the key,”’ the rookie MP said at one polnt last week. Althouse had suggested Scott move into an office in the Hast Biock, just down the hall from where Sir John A. Macdonald ran the government at the beginning of Confederation.

He said moving would waste tax dollars,

But Scott said he was only fol- lowing the office assigned to him ‘by (he Reform party’s caucus coordinator. | ‘The contested office is right next door fo the cafeteria tun the

Church returns objects

THE ANGLICAN CHURCH has retumed five Nisga’a artifacts to the Nass Valley.

The items valued at $230,000 — 4 copper mask, a wooden Tattle, a dance apron, a carved hu-

‘ man figure, and a set of gambling sticks in a buckskin’ bag — were turned over at a coremony Mon- day in Victoria,

“This is just scratching the sur- face,’” said Nisga’a Tribal Coun- cil member ‘Harry Nyce, who is

leading the push for reclamation .

of cultural objects,

, Thousands, of items were taken from the Nass ‘by missionaries, who persuaded the Nisga’a to chop down their. totem poles and burn their regalia, said Nyce,

Some of the last poles in

Gitwinksihlkw were used to form the foundations of the village’s old Anglican “Church, now home td the Salvation Amny. “The Nisga’a artifacts are now in collections all over the world. Most of the Nisga’a objects in

Museum, the Ottawa Civilization of Man Museum, and the Royal Victoria Museum,

‘Nyce said the Nisga'a are con-

tinving the wrk of cataloging the “f

items. in collections. in. ‘Canada, and abroad. ,

“All the. spiritual {tem should

come home,” he said. “They

belong to us — here in the Nass —

Valley.” -.

‘Nisga’a leaders hope to build a Nisge’a cultural centre: in. the Nass as part of” the: Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park to serve as a museum. «to house the artifacts, .

. Nyce ‘sald. construction of the centra is at least five years away.

“We .are aware.‘ of -mistakes made. by. the chuch.a century ago,” said Right Reverend Barry

Jenks, the Bishop’ of the Aneta

diocese, of, BC:

. Scott said he ran out of patience because of the excessive delays and abusive treatment from the NDP member.

‘“*He’s got my altention, he’s got my back up and I’m not going to back down,’’ said Scott of Althouse last week. ‘*?’m. not open to negotiation any mare.’’

Scott said the issue wasted time he could spend helping con- Slituents.

So far Scott says he has dealt with immigration problems, un- employment insurance problems.

He said one constituent had been cut off of family allowance

pointed to the money spent to build a monument to Tom Thorn- hill — a project he defends.

He said it cost $2 for every per- son in Thornhill pivs 100 hours of volunteer time,

“T think that’s a real bargain,’” he said, ‘‘I’m proud of what Ive done for Thornhill.”?

Julseth. rejects Watmough’s sewer vote theory.

“I think people wanted to sce a change,” she said, adding that she believes her promise to en- force Thornhill’s —_ unsightly premises bylaw also won her votes,

home

because Revenue Canada in- correctly decided -the- person owed back taxes.

Most people really have a prob- lem that deserves atlention, Scott added.

“When you see some of the ob- vious. disparities and obvious in- justices it gives you the inelina- tion to work thet much harder,” Scott said.

Sometimes that means finding a loophole for someone who seems to fall through the cracks in the system, he continued, Sometimes it means persuading a bureaucrat that something should be done,

A lot. has happened since the referendum, she said, even among those who opposed it.
