He said the earliest the operation could begin would be in a
week or two.

Sk/llings also explained that thecity has a contract with
Blackline that it must fulfill adn that includes two days
and approximately 1,000 tons of gravel that was not
removed during last year's operation.

He said the city has also contracted. with. Geronazzo
Holdings Ltd. to remove and crush gravel for the city’s own
use during the year.

Geronazzo will remove 4,000 tons of gravel and will
need about three weeks to complete the job, he said.

Council also denied that it plans to remove and crush
gravel annually at the works yard site.

Ald. Carl Henne explained again that the city will need
to remove the gravel in any event to accommodate the new
works yard buildings.

LOCKED OUT UNIONS

May be ready to talk

VANCOUVER (CP) — The negotiating team for British
Columbia's two locked out pulp unions is meeting to discuss
what it has learned from talks with union locals, Art
Gruntman, Canadian Paperworkers Union president, said
Tuesday.

Gruntman said his union and the Pulp, Paper and
Woodworkers of Canada have notified the industry that
following the scheduled Friday morning meeting, they may
be prepared to talk with the companies’ representatives.

“Our local unions are telling us that they are solidly
behind us and that was what we wanted to test,” said
Gruntman.

Contract negotiations between the industry and the
pulp unions have been stalled since March 2, when the
companies rejected a three-year contract proposal from the
pulp ufions, which included a demand for a cost-of-living
increase. Base rate under the previous contract, which
expired last June, is $12.96 an hour.

Nearly 13,000 members of fie two unions were locked
out of 20 mills in the province on Feb. 2, because the
company claimed the unions were dragging their feet in
negotiations.

PICKETS LIFTED

The pulp unions, meantime, softened their secondary

picketing Tuesday, removing a line from the B.C. Forest

“We sat down and rationally discussed the thing in a
cool, ealm and rational manner,” said Smith. “They agreed
the best thing to do is to try to get the lines removed, rather
than cross them.”

Meantime, northern Interior sawmills are coping well
with the moynting pulp-chip problem, says Dave Gunderson,
executive-director of the North-Cariboo Labor Relations
Association.

“We went to the pulp unions and there were special
circumstances at that mill,” said Eich Ewert of the wood-
workers’ union Vancouver local. “A'lot of our guys there
were just back to work after eight weeks’ layoff.

“The mill is scheduled to go down again at the end of the
year. Some sanity prévailed and the line cdme down.”

In neighboring New Westminster, Terry Smith, presi-
dent of the woodworkers union local, said he convinced four

‘Asked for an estimate of the damage, Adams said it

Adams said the resident who started the fire should
have realized it was too windy to burn grass.

he said.

Fire chief Mann added that any residents burning

Fraser to take
second look

By CasNews Staff

Highways Minister Alex
Fraser says he will ask cab
inet to reconsider its decision
to shut down the free ferry
across the Fraser River at
Margeurite, and Castlegar
area residerits are hoping the
Castlegar/Robson ferry will
get the same treatment.

Fraser told 14 Margeurite
residents at a meeting in
Quesnel Sunday that he
hopes to have an answer on
the fate of their ferry about
Marh 25.

The residents had pre-
sented Fraser, their MLA,
with a proposal to place a toll
on the ferry rather than
eliminate the service.

Meanwhile, the Castlegar
D Associa-

osed April 1 closure of the
Castlegar/Robson ferry.

The DBA decided at a
March 7 meeting to send a
delegation headed by Cas
News publisher Burt Camp-
bell.

As well, Castlegar council
has agreed to study the pos-
sibility of the city operating
the ferry if closure goes
ahead as planned.

In a letter to council, the
DBA said some of the mem-
bers wondered if the city has
considered taking over the
ferry if it closes.

Ald. Albert Calderbank
proposed a study, prompting
Mayor Audrey Moore to
question, “You really want to
study running the ferry?”

gation to Victoria to. meet

CASTLEGAR council can at times by dry
handling the city’s affairs is after all serious business. But
there are times for things to lighten up and Tuesday
night was one of them.

For instance, Ald. Albert Calderbank was asked to
deal with a letter from the Alliance for the Secession of
the Kootenays, or ASK. The group asked council to give
serious consideration to joining the movement, which
wants to establish a separate state here in the Kootenays.

“T've love to know why I got this one,” moaned Cal.
derbank.

“Because you look like one,” rejoined Ald. Bob
MacBain.

Later, Ald. Carl Henne recommended, “That we
send our city clerk Ron Skillings to the cemetery.”

Henne meant to say to a seminar on the Charter of
Rights and its effect on municipalities. But Skillings
didn’t take to too badly.

“I feel half dead,” he replied.

THE LIQUOR distribution branch's new product
catalogue is on the shelves. It’s called Cheers and will be
published quarterly by Western Canada TV Week Ltd.

A total of 150,000 copies will be available free in
liquor stores around the province.

The new magazine is part of the provincial govern
ment's privatization scheme and replaces the old
products catalogue. The government says it will save
$32,000 a year by having private business publish the
catalogue.

How? It's simple. The new entaloene has liquor
adverti: while the old pi didn't.
In fact, it has ads on almost every second page.

The new magazine looks flashy in full glossy color,
including first-rate photographs and articles by profes.
sionals.

ternational Development. Mrs. Dublin is a former
research associate for the Academy for Educational
Development

The new magazine not only contains the price list for
liquor in B.C. but also has product information, recipes,
ads, and industry-related features.

The articles are brief, and rangé from stories on
Vancouver's wine festival to London's best’ pubs.

IN OTHER NEWS from the Boundary area, Gerden
and Ruby Cronk of Rock Creek are the happy winners of
$100,000. The couple who own a hotel in Rock Creek,
won the Feb. 22 Western Express draw's grand prize.

UNDERGOING a name change is OK Tire in the
city's south end. The store, managed by Rebin Murch,
will be now known as Kal Tire.

NELSON BAS another new business — Micro Tax
Centre. Bonnie Anderson is the computer operator at the
business, located at 521 Victoria St.

WHILE ON the subject of new businesses, Trail also
has a new sports and cycle store — Gerick Cycle and
Sports. The shop is located at 1491 Bay Ave., and is
operated by Richard and Gerald Klassen. And, yes, they
are brothers.

AND FINALLY, CKQR’s Brian Pritchard was in the
news this week, when called upon to comment on the
Social Credit government's move to spend $525 an item to
send pre-packaged news broadcasts to smaller radio
stations in B.C.

“Anyone calling that stuff news has got to be using a
pretty broad brush,” Pritchard said in a wire story.

“Now they're trying to disguise themselves as a
news organization. We definitely do not use that stuff.”

He isn't alone. A survey showed that of the 15 radio
stations receiving the government news, 20 said they
weren't using it. Five said they use it only occasionally,
and one considered the material worthwhile.

ONE OF THE 76 crew members of the oil rig Vinland

Grand Forks resident Joe Starchuk. Starchuk is a driller
and was aboard the rig when it developed a gas leak the

The crew abandoned ship about 10:30 p.m. and spent
the entire night in two enclosed lifeboats before being
rescued.
