Blueberry Creek element-
ary now is the only school in
the Castlegar school district

without fire protection.

_|At the Monday meeting of

the Castlegar school board,
trustee George Anutooshkin
reported that an agreement
has been reached with Rob-
son fire chief Dennis Lahue
to provide fire protection for
Ootischenia elementary,
leaving Blueberry Creek the
only district school to face
the heat of no fire protection.

“The Castlegar fire depart-
ment won't provide protec-
_tion for Blueberry Creek,”
Anutooshkin told the board.

Ina reply to the board, the
city advised “that the re-
quest for fire protection for

the Blueberry school cannot
be considered in accordance
with city policy.”

“They'll go as far as the in-
dustrial park which is 1%
miles from the school,” Anu-
tooshkin said, but the city
won't “bend the rules” to
provide fire protection. for
the school.

Anutooshkin reported that
Martin Vanderpol, regional
director for Area J, will try
to obtain fire protection for
Blueberry Creek elementary
through the regional district-.

Meanwhile, in striking the
deal with the Robson fire
department for ‘the protec,
tion of Ootischenia elemen-
tary, the school board agreed
to pay the cost of installation
for a fire hydrant close to the
school and the purchase of an
air pack for the Robson de-
partment. .

The estimated cost of the
hydrant is $1,500 to $2,000.
The cost of an air pack is
$1,648.

“It’s a pretty cheap price to
pay for (fire protection),”

Kay Johnson said.

Trustee Gordon Turner
questioned why Coleman Ex-
cavating couldn't be pinned
down to an exact hourly rate.

“It seems we should have a
fixed price from him,” Turner
said.

However, secretary-treas-
urer John Dascher defended
the bid, saying that Coleman
uses various pieces of equip-
ment depending on the type
of snow removal job and that
the price- varies with the
equipment.

“(Roy) Coleman has been
doing snow removal for the
past 15 years. He's always
there when you need him,”
Dascher said.

The board will hire an ac-
oustical consultant to help in
the renovations of the Stan-
ley ‘Humphries | Secondary
School activity room.

The consultant will inspect

FIRE REVIEW WON'T BE PUBLIC

CRANBROOK (CP) — For-
ests Minister Tom Waterland

~said Tuesday that his min-

istry's review of how forest
fire fighting was conducted
last summer will noi be a
public one.

“It will not be an open
forum,” Waterland told a
news conference. “We don't
want to stage media events.”

Waterland, whose helicop-
ter tour of the Matt fire area
was cancelled because of
stormy weather, said much of
the criticism aimed at his
ministry over the.fires was
politically motivated, but he
did not elaborate.

Although the review meet-
ings would be closed, as they
are every year, he said, the

conclusions of those reviews
will be published in a report
that will be made public.

Last summer, the New
Democratic Party called for a
royal commission into fire
fighting, which it maintains
was so poorly organized at
time that homes and settle-
ments were jeopardized.

But “people in the private
sector and the ministry did
an excellent. job,” and staff
had to make difficult deci-
sions “in the heat of the mo-
ment,” Waterland said Tues-
day.

“It's easy to look at fires
that are all under control and

Westar
lays off 80

VANCOUVER (CP) —
More than 80 management
personnel have been laid off
at Westar Mines Ltd. in
southeastern British Colum-
bia in the last two weeks in
what the coal company des-
cribes as belt-tightening.

Westar employs 2,250
workers, most:of whom live
in, Sparwood, a small com-
munity of 4,000.

Bill Pierce, 43, a mechan-

. ical instructor, said he was

given an award by Westar
two months ago for outstand-
ing contributions to the com-
pany.

Last Friday, the 10-year
employee was laid off.

“I'm still in shock,” said
Pierce, who worked around
the clock during a 17-day
strike at Westar last April.
“We risked our lives — it was
just like’ being on the front
lines in a war. And this is the
thanks we get.”

Pierce said he was not
given any warning of the lay-
off by the company.

Chris Humble, Westar’s
human_resources director,
refused to say how many

. people would be laid off.

“It’s serious indeed, but it’s
something we all have to go
through.”

The layoffs come in the
midst of a depressed world
market for southeast coal,

Westar, which is owned by
the B.C. Resources Invest-

ment Corp., earned $9.2'mil- ”

lion in the second quarter of
this year, compared with $9.9
million in the same period in
1984.

Westar has begun issuing
layoff notices at its Balmer
and Greenhills operations
near Sparwood.

The miners were told by
the company in January that
their positions would dis-
appear later this year when
the underground mine was to
close, Ray, Dykes, manager of
public affairs for B.C. Re-
sources, said.

They were also told then
that some of them could ex-
pect to find new jobs at Wes-
tar’s other two mines in the
area, he said, but this now is
unlikely. *

The support staff are em-
ployed at both Balmer and
Greenhills operations near
Sparwood, he said, and will
lose work as the result of
“streamlining.”

“We have two mines oper-
ating within 50 kilometres of
each other. And where we
can, we're going to join the
staff functions together.
We're talking non-union per-
sonnel largely, those that
work in the offices ani so on.
Some of them middle man-
agers.

“It's a shame it had to hap-
pen because we know the im-
pact it will haveon the people
and the (Elk) Valley. But
there's very little choice
when the mines have to be
competitive in a world stric-
ken with an over-supply of
coal.”

Shipments from southeast
B.C. coal mines run by Wes-
tar and Fording Coal Ltd.
have been cut back by Jap-
anese steel mills to about 50
per cent of contracted vol-
ume. Shipments from ~ coal
mines in northeastern British
Columbia have not been af-
fected, however.
