Red Mountain got an early start this year because of early snowfalls, and has been operating only on weekends since Nov. 10, says manager Bob Steckle. On Tuesday, before the snow started falling, Red reported a total of 50 centi. metres of snow at the lodge and 150 centimetres at the toy Steckle said skiing con ditions are excellent and all runs, the three lift chairlifts and the T-bar will be in operation. Noting that Red Mountain was kept “pretty busy” over the past weekend, Steckle said as long as conditions re- main excellent December will likely be an “extremely busy” month. “It takes a while to get the word around that skiing con ditions are as good as they are,” Steckle noted. He said Red is expecting out-of-town skiers from places like Calgary, Vancou: ver and Washington state in the next few weeks as a result of ski packages.

College ipal Leo Perra says Bakken needs evidence that there is student demand and a demand for stone masons. Bakken — who is also newly-elected Area G director on the Central Kootenay Regional District board — raised the issue in a recent letter to Perra. She says she and stone mason Al Tutor met in 1982 with Doug Baker, then director of the college's extension centres, and with Donna Bishop, co-ordinator of the con tunuing education office in Salmo. Bakken said she thought the school “would be on for that fall.” When it didn’t begin, she attempted to find out what happened and was told she would have to get letters of support from the community, be sponsored by Canada Manpower and antee everyone a job when the course was over, in order for the course to be considered, she said. Bakken said she had no problem getting letters of course wanted support from the community, but when she contacted Canada Manpower she said she got the impression that if she could guarantee graduates a job, she would be able to get Manpower sponsorship. Bakken said she gave it “every effort” and even contacted the Alberta Masonry Association, which liked the idea. Citing a shortage in good qualified stone masons, they said they would set up a jgb referral deal,” said Bakken. Bakken said she was “very excited” and called Canada Manpower back. Manpower told her, “We are not willing to train people to go to work in Alberta.” Bakken said she became discouraged and mentioned the concept to college board member Fred Merriman. He suggested she contact Perra and board chairman Dr. government,” Perra said. “The initiation of a new program must be directly related to employment opportunities for graduates,” he said. Perra said that the Ministry of Education may be supportive of such a course if strong demand for the program can be demonstrated. Perra also questioned the present status of stone masons in the province. “Are there large numbers looking for work or available for work?” Perra asked. He said the ministry will not fund programs if an ample supply of workers already exists. Perra also said that the requirements of a job guarantee for each graduate is an overstatement. “Clearly, there should exist a good chance of y Jack Colbert to see if the board could do h Bakken said she has had calls from people who want to take the course, if it is set up. But Perra, in a letter (o Bakken, notes that the establishing af a stone masonry course “remains a challenge.” “As you are aware, post-secondary institutions are dealing with the restraint policies of the provincial rs following competition,” he said. “I know of no program or institution which is prepared to guarantee employment and to demand a similar condition from you is ridiculous.” Perra told the college board at its meeting Tuesday night that when Bakken first contacted him, the request for the course was submitted to the Ministry of Education, but was never accepted. ° con Control * Cello Gel © sk 7 e Up in Care * PLUS MUCH MORE!
