Glance Bike patrol Castlegar RCMP have requested city council to investigate the possibility of purchasing two bicycles, which would be considered police vehicles and used on various patrols. The bike patrol seems like a good idea to council, though at $700 a bike, city officials are hoping the RCMP will seek out fur- ther bids. Finding employment The provincial government is directing $6 million into this Decision saves P&T more than $10 million JASON KEENAN Sun staff Last Friday's reduction of the countervailing duty on softwood lumber year's Forest Enh which will provide income assistance recipients with employment opportuni- ties. The announcement was made by Social Services Minister Joan Smallwood and Forests Minister Dan Miller. The $6 million is part of an overall $57 million employ- ment initiative to provide training and work experience, administered by the Forest Service in B.C..

T C 7 decided that Canada provides unfair subsidies to the lumber In their decision last Friday, said the U.S. Ci ‘was good, but not good ¢1 for Pope and Talbot President Abe Friesen. “We're obviously d lighted the ce Canada subsidizes its lumber industry, but not to the extant that that it’s come down, but zero is still our goal,” said Friesen. The the tariff on Canadian lumber from 14.48 percent to 6.51 per cent. The good news is a reduction in tariff payments for the compa- ny of just over $10 million. Under the 14.48 per cent tariff, Pope and Talbot was expecting to pay $18 million in tariffs. That figure has been reduced to $7.7 million. Friesen said the reduc- tions still have to go further. Bb adit Son hag ‘Ws ludicrous to Friesen said the next question is whether the lumber prices are now going to drop for U.S. con- sumers. “It’s never a clear issue who pays the tariff,” he added. The countervailing duty was Sunfest family d The Castlegar Festival Soci- ety has been given the O.K. by city council to hold an outdoor family dance June 26, to kick off Sunfest festiv- ities. The dance, which is to be held at the Kinsmen Park from 8 p.m. to 1 p.m., required a Public Park Clo- sure Exemption Permit and an exemption to the Noise Bylaw from the city. Fate sealed The City of Castlegar has made an interim agreement with the United Brotherhood of Carpenter's and Joiners for the sale of Kinnaird Hall. The union says it is prepared to pay the upset price of the hall, set at $69,000 and will be given a one-time upgrad- ing grant by the city of $40,000. The union has also agreed to let present user groups, such as the scouts and brownies, continue with their use of the building. The fate of Kinnaird Hall has been up in the air for many months, so the offer made by the union to purchase the building was readily accepted by the city. Weatner 20.0...

The decision might present a windfall for the owners of the old Westar sawmill. Since the coun- tervailing daty was imposed, Rope and has had bonds equal to the 14.48 per cent tariff any time they have shipped south of the border. “We expect to get some of the money posted back,” said Friesen. He hopes that by July they will be able to get all money posted back when he hopes the entire duty is scrapped. And don’t expect a final deci- sion in the dispute. A General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) panel will begin two days of hearings on Canada’s complaints on the American duty today in Geneva. On May 28 the U.S. Interna- tional Trade Commission will hold there own hearings to deter- mine the extent to which alleged Canadian subsidies have hurt the American industry. That commis- sion will hold a public vote on June 26, the result of which will be released July 6, along with any damages to be paid by the Cana- dian industry. Canada may also contest the duty under the Free Trade dispute mechanism. to post * ¢ . —-A ray of sun Senior's community advocate, and avid gardener, Molly White tends to her plants while basking in the sunshine which nature awarded Castlegar last week. ‘SUN STAFF PHOTO / Sharlene imhott City and CUPE reach tentative agreement SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor The City of Castlegar and CUPE Local 2262 have reached a tentative agreement on a new contract, which, according to a -Beach art SUN STAFF PHOTO / Brendan Halper Trail artist and resident Pia Cescon finds the perfect light for sketching while camp- ing with her husband at Syringa park. brief news release, will be released pending ratification by both parties involved.

City councillors were briefed on the ne; an in- camera meeting last night. Although no comments by either side have been made on possible wage increases, consideration by city councillors was made in the 1992 budget for such a possibility. City gearing for October referendum SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor Castlegar City Council is ensuring it will not make the same mistake twice when it comes to taking a public issue to referendum. During last night's city council meeting, Councillor Kirk Duff said plans to build a new RCMP building and the related referen- dum process required for approval are well into the planning stages. In fact, a tentative date for the ref- erendum has already been sug- gested for October 17. "Prior to the referendum, we will be undergoing a full public process, which will include meet- ings where discussion can take Place,” Duff said, hinting about a possible first session this June. The city holds referendums when seeking approval from tax- payers to borrow money for a capital expenditure. The last ref- erendum held by the city request- ed permission for a paving expenditure. The referendum was defeated and many residents cited the city's failure to Properly inform the public as the main rea- son for its defeat. City council is counting on the fact that the public will be well- informed before taking this vote. “We are confident that if we follow our procedures, the upcoming referendum on the new police building will be a success- ful process,” Duff finished. Until the vote is taken in Octo- ber, the city has already viewed tentative drafts by Dalla- Lana/Griffin, the architects hired to design the new facility.
