V3V 1x4 VOL. 38, No. 1} CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1985 yeyes promotion progr By noy NORMAN Castlegar council is considering spending nearly $12,000 on a unique program to promote economic development in the city. The program, called Venture Inland, will take the form of a series of 10-minute multi-projector audio-slide shows accompanied by full-color printed packages highlighting the economic potential of Castlegar. “It’s an opportunity to promote the parts of B.C. other than the, Lower Mainland,” explains city Dave Gairns. Gairns said council hasn't made a final decision on the $11,700 cost of participating in the program. Council will vote on the coneept at its Tuesday meeting. “It was quite clear that council wanted to support it,” Gairns said, adding the $11,700 cost was included in the city’s 1985 provisional budget. The bulk of the cost of the program will be picked up by Inland Natural Gas and the provincial government. Inland Gas says in a prepared release that it initiated the program because it “feels it is the lity of the Hi ck: will only be prepared for 12 to 15 cities and regional districts on a first-come, first-serve basis. Gairns said the cost of the from “a of thousand” dollars to the full $11,700, depending on the extent of the coverage. For instance, Gairns said a full promotion of Castlegar costs $11,700 and includes a two-minute segment on the city within the 10-minute regional presentation. As well, Castlegar will receive 2,500 copies of a four-page community profile insert to go along with a printed four-page regional! profile. Gairns said if the city undertook a similar program on its own, it would cost from $20,000 to $30,000 “minimum.” However, Gairns concedes that the program can't guarantee results. “It's a gamble,” he said, adding that every promotional program is a gamble. “How much good it will do us, we don't know,” said Gairns. But he called the program's ial “1 r program is proving popular with Interior communities.

A promotional package will be Trail, and Fruitvale will be taking part as @ group, and the Thompson Nicola Regional District and Central Okanagan Regional District have also committed themselves. Inland Gas says in its release, “The resultant increase in jobs is expected to enhance the economic foundation in the Interior.” The program is expected to be complete by the end of BLAZE GUTS HOME BURNED OUT. . .

Sheep move set for Saturday VANCOUVER (CP) — The B.C. Wildlife Federation will attempt to move a band of Rocky Mountain big horn sheep into the Arrow Lakes area Saturday, an area where the sheep have not been found for several hundred years. Federation president Carmen Purdy said Tuesday that 20 to 25 of the sheep will be moved about 290 kilometres from the east side of Columbia Lake to the east side of the Arrow Lakes near Castlegar. Purdy said the federation has been trying to move the sheep into the area i i: hs since 1961 but received provincial government approval only last month after four biologists determined the animals would be compatible there. He said the move will be conducted under the guidance of Peter Davidson, a sheep biologist employed by the provincial government's habitat con servation fund. The fish and wildlife branch also will help The sheep will be caught with drop-net traps located at bait sites the animals have been coming to for two months to eat apple mulch containing a drug to cleanse them of lung worm, a disease which contributed to the deaths three years ago of more than 800 of the estimated 1,800 big horn sheep in the Kootenays. The animals will be treated with vitamins and antibiotics, weighed and eartagged, he said, and some will be equipped with radio transmitters so the band can be monitored in its new location. Purdy said archeological finds indi cate that sheep existed in the area sev eral hundred years ago. prepared for each region. May. WITH BOARD REMARKS Teachers 'pleased' By CasNews Staff Castlegar teachers say they're pleased with Castlegar school board's government loosen its tight grip on education and restore local autonomy and community decision-making.” in por to Minister Jack Heinrich's Jan. 28 speech to the Vancouver Board of Trade. “If parents, trustees and teachers can make a united stand against the threat to education, the provincial government will have to listen to us,” said Lisa Pedrini, vice-president of the Castlegar and District Teachers’ Asso- ciation. “This is already happening around the province,” Pedrini added in a prep- ared release. “School boards and par ent groups are demanding that the Nelson mill destroyed by fire By CasNews Staff The former Westar lumber mill in Nelson was partially destroyed last night when a fire swept the premises. “The sawmill and the greenchain were largely destroyed,” said Lieut Doug Madore of the Nelson Fire Department this morning. “There were some vehicles involved, parked under the shed. I don't know how many at this point.” Madore said “less than half” of the buildings were destroyed in the blaze. The boiler room and the plywood plant were among those saved. The mill — shut down by Westar Timber Ltd. last year — is owned by Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, which were in the process of selling the remaining equipment Twenty-four Nelson firemen and volunteers battled the glames most of the night after receiving a call on the fire at 10:40 p.m. Tuesday Pedrini's after board chairman Doreen Smecher said in an interview in Sunday's Castlegar News that the board won't sit quietly if education cutbacks continue. Pedrini warned that the school board could be seen as the “bad guys” if the board complies with the cuts instead of fighting them. “United action is required,” said Pedrini. “We all need to demonstrate by our actions that we won't sit quietly for cuts. “Teachers are prepared to take —inside HE'S THE CHAMP: The Dole Hockley rink of Castlegar won the provincial policeman’'s curling title today.

It would be most re- grettable if we lose our strong voice of unity.” Meanwhile, Pedrini said the CDTA is “hopeful” that the planned joint state- ment on the of education eut-_.. backs in Castlegar will raise local awareness of the severity of the cut backs. The board, teachers, non-teaching employees, and interested parents are preparing a joint submission to Hein rich. “We plan to clearly inform the com munity on the effects of the cutbacks on the students of Castlegar.” Brace yourselves, brace your children.

So says Bill Young, president of the Canadian Forestry Association of B.C., and chief forester for the province. Young — in Castlegar Tuesday as part of his quarterly tour through Kootenay West — says reforesta tion is the key to making sure the province's forests don't dwindle away in the future. Growth in reforestation has been “significant” in the past 25 years — from about three million trees planted in 1956 to approximately 112 million planted in 1983. But Young said in an interview that about 200,000 trees should be planted yearly to keep the forests in a healthy state. He said on average, only about 45 per cent of logged areas in B.C. are being replanted, while the “ideal” level is about 60 per cent. Young pointed out that the 60 per cent tree replanting level has been reached in Sweden, a “progres sive” country. Presently, Prince George and the area west of that city is dragging behind the rest of B.C. with an average reforestation level in “the early 30s.” The highest level of reforestation, says Young, is on the southwest coast of B.C., where about 75 per cent of the area logged is replanted. Young says B.C. needs a “long-term commitment” to forest renewal financing. He said the province has “reverted back” from a five-year budgeting plan to an annual budgeting process. And while the second B.C. five-year plan called for 60,000 hectares of juvenile spacing and fertilization for 1984, “the program has been reduced to zero,” Young says. “There needs to be a change in forest renewal financing,” said Young, adding that companies, and both the provincial and federal governments “have got to develop an equitable formula for investing in forest renewal.” He said a recent 10-year economic and regional development agreement made between the federal government and B.C. is designed to provide the frame work for subagreements, including a forestry sub agreement which will “reportedly” provide for $300 million in forestry investments over five years. Young says B.C. should “push” for the signing of the agreement, which would help out long-term forest planning Because the Canadian Forestry Association a national non-profit association which lobbies for respon on page A2
