Ramsden took one look at the knife with the 12-inch blade and ran into the restaurant kitchen re- turning with two large kitchen knives. “I got two big knives from the kitchen,” Ramsden recalled. “They were pretty big, the chef doesn’t fool around.” Before she had a chance to brandish the knives at the would-be thief, he had fled without taking any money. : “Another waitress came by and he asked for money. She told him, ‘I don't know how to open thé, till’,” said Ramsden. The fiesty desk clerk maintains she wasn't brave. “I was just scared,” she said. Ramsden called the RCMP who searched the area with the help of a dog team.

All but one of the nine candidates in the Nov. 19 municipal, school district and regional district elections turned out for the forum in Kinnaird Hall. Walter Tymofievich, running for the Area J seat on the Central Kootenay Regional District board, did not attend. The eight other candidates were grilled by questions from some of the . 30 interested voters.in attendance. In response to a question about a possible injunction’ against . striking Castl Labor talks at critical stage now VANCOUVER (CP) — Critical nego- tiations were under way on two fronts Saturday to end the crippling public sector strikes in B.C. that are sched- uled to expand to include municipal and ferry workers on Monday. ool trustee Doreen Smecher said she goes along with the school board's decision to ask teachers to return to work voluntarily. “If nothing changes, (an) injunction at this point is the only move I would support.” She added she would support a back-to-work injunction rather than a court order simply banning picketing at schools, Smecher is running for one of two vacant city seats on Castlegar school board, along with Linda Krull and Jim Gouk. Krull said she hopes teachers return to work on their own. But like In what g Norman Spector called private talks, Operation Solidarity leaders were Smecher, she said if necessary, she would vote for an injunction to send them back. Gouk, said. he doesn't meeting to see how their IL about Premier Bill Bennett's conten- tious restraint legislation can be re- solved and the escalating strikes halted. In another area, negotiators continue efforts to reach a new contract for the 35,000 B.C. Government Employees Union members who went on strike at midnight Oct. 31, closing liquor stores continued on poge A2 like strikes. But he later added that teachers should be allowed some alter- native to striking.” “You cannot punish people because they happen to be in an important job.” He said certain public employees such as teachers and police should be identified and government should come up with some agreeable atlernative to striking. DOREEN SMECHER + + quizzed on injunction While Gouk did not flatly state whether he supported an injunction sending teachers back to work, he did say they are an essential service. “In the case of teachers .. . (a strike) affects our entire future,” he said. The four aldermanic candidates — incumbents Walter Field, Carl Henne, and Bob MacBain, and chall Later when pressed for a clearer reply, MacBain said, “Everybody has the right to express their own feelings. However, we have to consider the welfare of the entire community.” He said he-would vote for an injunc- tion “when life was at stake.” When Henne was also pressed for a clearer reply, he said he doesn’t under- stand the full ramifications of injunc- tions, “so it's very hard for me to answer.” Calderbank said injunctions — like strikes — are a “tool.” “I don't believe you should imple- ment injunctions will nilly,” he said — just as strikes shouldn't be introduced “willy nilly.” ‘ “One has to use a little common sense all the way down the line.” He said there should first be time to “get round ‘the table and come to a mutual agreement.” Fields did not respond to the ques- tion, while Area J incumbent Martin Vanderpol said he is “strongly op- posed” to injunctions. Vanderpol said if there is a difference of opinion, the two sides “should sit down and negotiate.” In ‘NEAR’ ANARCHY’ City workers join picket lines Monday By RON NORMAN Editor Despite describing the cyrrent labor situation in the province as “very close to anarchy,” Mayor Audrey Moore Saturday could not say if the city plans to seek an injunction to send Castle- gar's 87 unionized employees back to work should they walk out Monday. Moore said council will make the de- > cision on a court injunction in - co- operation with city staff. Saying she has been out of the city since Tuesday and only returned Fri- . day, Moore said she hasn't yet had'a they go down, “then you have lost a lot of order in society.” Pete Makortoff, president of Local 2262 of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents city and Central Kootenay Regional District employees, Saturday would not. dis- close what municipal sites will be picketed Monday. Makortoff said any sites operated by the city and regional district are “sub- ject to picketing.” The “city operates city hall, the Old Arena and the:Com- munity, Complex. He. said CUPE will help maintain to didcuss ‘the sitation with’””~“esgeptial services." That means, the- city staff or other council members, However, wheri asked what the city ~ will do if a heavy snowfall makes the roads impassable, Moore commented, “We'd have to take necessary action to make sure the city remains safe.” She did not elaborate. Castlegar’s municipal workers and 22,000 other municipal workers, B.C. Ferry employees and B.C. Rail workers are scheduled to walk out Monday in another of the escalating province- wide strikes by .public sector groups. Moore said the city’s seven adminis- trative staff will handle municipal duties and city hall with remain open. As well, she and other council members plan to help out. “We have a contingency plan,” Moore said. Moore added that the labor workers will provide standby crews to repair sewer and water breakdowns. Makortoff said‘CUPE will also plow roads to allow ambulance and fire trucks to attend calls. He would not say if that includes plowing the hill by Castlegar and District Hospital. “That may or may not include the hospital hill,” he replied. Asked what the union will do if the. city gets a court injunction ordering them back to work, Makortoff replied, “We'll face that when and if it happens.” In a written statement placed as an\ advertisement in today’s CasNews, CUPE says it regrets “the actions of the provincial Social Credit govern- ment in forcing us to withdraw our services.” The union says it respects the “policy of int and have iated con- is “getting very close to anarchy . . . You've got all the services of the province down.” She said municipal services are what really keep the province going and if tracts in the interests of all concerned.” However, it adds, “The Social Credit government has removed the rights of all working people in British Columbia, including CUPE Local 2262.” Board to decide on injunction Tuesday By DIANE STRANDBERG and CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writers + Castlegar school board will decide Tuesday whether to seek an injunction to ban picketing and re-open district schools that were shut down as teachers, school principals and support. staff walked off the job last week. Meantime, the board plans to mon- itor the strike situation across the province and will meet Monday with striking members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees as well as and to a on oO; » Fields, Vander- Albert Calderbank — were also asked if they would seek an injunction sending city employees, members of the Canadian Union of Public Employ- ees, back to work. =. “I don't like to look at the gloomy side,” replied Henne. “My philosophy is when it happens and we have to make a decision then we'll have to deal with ++. in a sensible and just manner.” MacBain said council hadn't dis- cussed the possibility of an injunction, and he agreed with Henne's reply. He added that he hoped the labor dispute would be resolved before CUPE out. “To say anything at this time would be premature.’ pol and MacBain said they supported the group. “We must take our problems to the government and point out our distaste” * for some of the legislation, MacBain said. However, he added, “I disagree with some of the methods with which Solidarity is being run.” Henne said he couldn't support Operation Solidarity because he is a “free enterpriser.” . Calderbank did not respond to the question. Local issues that did arise included park and “We are going to review what is happening in other districts through- out the weekend,” school superinten- dent Terry Wayling said. “We would like to see what's going to happen and we would like to review the matter with the three groups.” However, Wayling and other admin- istrative staff have been asked to prepare the necessary papers in case the board decides it has to go ahead with an injunction. If the board decides to try for a court action to get teachers back into the classrooms, it can either apply for a Labor Relations Board ruling to ban CUPE pickets, or it can seek a court ruling on whether teachers should return to work. The board has approached the CDTA with a letter asking teachers to volun- tarily return to work, but teachers refused. “They chose to maintain their current action,” Wayling explained. Meanwhile, unlike some other col- leges, Selkirk College is not seeking an injunction over the BCGEU dispute, according to college. “It's something that’s always discus- * sed, but I don't think the board has made any decision,” college board president Jack Colbert said Saturday. He noted that the board is holding its monthly meeting Tuesday night. He said that because the BCGEU at the college is in a legal strike position, an injunction would be fairly hard to obtain, He also said he understands the college is going to mediation with the BCGEU. The college situation at the end of the week saw all but about five Faculty Association members return to work at the Castlegar campus after a one-day walkout Tuesday in support of Oper- ation Solidarity. However student attendance levels were down to 60 per cent and the PPWC continued to honor the BCGEU's picket lines.
