Rifkin’s basic message is that the world can't afford beef anymore. To quote his opening “There are 1.28 billion cattle populating the earth. They take up nearly 24 per cent of the land mass of the Planet and consume enough grain to feed millions of people”. Not only that. Their fl isa ide factor in the depleti of the ozone layer. Rifkin charts the fascinating history of beef Cultivation from the beginning of civilization when belief in the magical power of cattle was born, through the age-old conflict between cattle raisers and farmers, which changed the course of Western history and culture, to the modern day automated factory feed lots.

Each project shares a deep appreciation of natural materials, honest detail and fine craftsmanship and can be a source of inspiration for anyone looking for quality features and “some- thing different”. Another intriguing addition to this genre is David Ownen’s “The walls around us”. Subtitled “The thinking person's guide to how a house works”, this funny and informative book shows how sensibly a house is put together. Readers will learn why wall board screws are shaped like bugles (are they?) and why cows like to lick freshly painted utility poles (if you have any cows around you, you might just want to know that) With up-to-the-minute advice, Ownen explains how to make gyprock look as good as three layers of plaster, how to keep paint from peeling and how to buy lumber without embarrassment (not that it's ever bothered me to drop in to Mitchells for a 2 by 4 but people have different embarrassment levels I suppose.) In his autobiography “Sitter”, hockey star Darryl Sittler takes an honest and revealing look at his career in pro-hockey, speaking with frankness about his coaches and team mates, the media's Big Six (and Harold Ballard). He details the highs and lows of his career and gives his readers a sense of how much the “behind the bench” action affected play on the ice. A- description of Darryl’s life after hockey brings the book into the present. Whether he’s giving us an exciting play-by-play account or a picture of his fam- ily and friends, he shows himself as thoughtful as he is likable and genuine. Cookbooks are our passion and our large and varied collection is making sure Castlegar can eat the same sophisticated, interna- tional and low-fat cuisine that New York, Paris and London does. So having read that, how about re-thinking the lowly potato?” A passion for potatoes by Lydie Marshall offers us 200 new recipes for potato appetizers, potato entrees and even potato deserts! And while we're talking of those, Jean Anderson's “Sinfree desserts” is going to give us back 150 of those mouth-watering classic sweets which we sacrificed because of their cholesterol - laden egg yolks and heavy cream.

The committee meeting in Castlegar heard 13 i by local employers, unions, and individuals, presenting both their positions on the current IRA, and changes they would like to see the law in the near future. While that number may seem low, Strachan said that a lot of group in the area, such as the hos- Pitals and various unions, will be represented by parent spokesgroups in Vancouver and Victoria. Enzo Accatdo, the Grievance Committee Chairman with the United Steel Workers Local 480 of Trail, said that his Union wants a quicker, more efficient arbitra- tion and grievance system. “We want something that does it quick.” Accardo said that his local handles about 350 grievances per year, and of those, approximately 150 are possible arbitration cases. “Out of 150, maybe in a good year we arbitrate six.” The ball- park total cost for those six is between $60,000 and $100,000. Of the remaining grievances, he said about half are resolved through mediation, some are dropped, and some stay on the files for two or three years. A lot of the grievances that end up in arbitration are relatively minor points lodged because of the principle, not the severity of the grievance, he added. The union’s major suggestion would use section 96(1) of the Industrial Relations Act as its model. Under that section, which the union is currently boycotting, the government can appoint an Industrial Relations Officer to come in and make recommenda- tion to settle a management-union are designed to help those who really want to quit.

It would be effec- tive. A man who is knowledge- able would be doing it. “Best of all it’s free.” Local 480 also recommended modifications to section 112 of the IRA.

The two main positions Celgar brought to the committee sought the common ground. Doug Cargill, the Industrial Relations Supervisor at Celgar, Cargill agreed that a system where an industrial relations offi- cer could jump into a dispute early, if both sides agreed, would help to resolve less important grievances. He also agreed that the common ground at the meet- ing was that the current arbitra- tion system is lengthy and expensive Strachan, Nelson's Industrial Relations Officer, said the presen- “I have a lot of high respect for these three men.” The groups represented at the Castlegar meeting were: Steel- workers Organization of Active Retirees, three locals of the Unit- ed Steelworkers of America, Cel- gar, the Pulp, Paper and tations gave the mem- bers a better feel for what is happening locally, and the infor- mation they needed to make sug- said that the pany supports the industrial relations policy cen- for imp: 7 “In my conversations with the Provincial cash to Castlegar and District Development Board falls short City refuses to pick up on provincial downloading SHARLENE IMHOFF __ Sun Editor been caught in an example of downloading from the provincial The Castlegar and District Development Board might have to re-evaluate its priorities this year, after being short-changed by the provincial government by $15,000.
