At the hearing, Davis told could not get financing from any local financial institutions to commercial council he for a business operating in a Pl zone but hoped to get a loan from the Kootenay Regional Employment Development Association (KREDA) and agreed with the committee's recommendation However, council decided to table third reading and adoption of the amendment until its August meeting saying it would be more appropriate to deal with the matter at that time primarily because of the uncertainty of Davis’s financing for the move. In the meantime, Davis's.deal with the owners of the Catholic Centre fell through and he now has an agreement for the purchase of an other building which he said he preferred not to in dentify at this time. Mayor Audrey Moore said Friday council received ‘new information’® about Davis’s proposal just 10 minutes before Tuesday’s council meeting and said that was the reason postponed ac tion on the bylaw amendment for the She said it was ‘unfair’ council to make a decision without sufficient time to study the new information second time to ask continued on page A2 go to Nelson relocation of that activity from the Trail Canada Employment Centre to the Nelson office, a news release said Switzer said the move will mean the transfer of 10 jobs to Nelson but the Trail employees have the option of going to Nelson to continue their jobs “If they chose to, we would like to have them move," he said. Ina letter to federal minister of Em ployment Barbara McDougall, Kootenay West-Revelstoke MP Lyle Kristiansen questions the lack of con sultation with employees prior to the decision, He also says the loss of 10 jobs in a town the size of Trail is of **significant concern." Kristiansen also states in his letter that he sees ‘no appreciable economic gain’’ to be made by the move The move was made for better ser vice and more consistent service, Swit zer said “With the large number ployees in Nelson, it will be easier to back them up when one worker is off work or on holidays,"” he said of em “*Neither Nelson nor Trail could handle the load alone."’ Another part of the decision to make the move to Nelson was the availability of space in the Nelson office. ‘The Trait couldn't handled the increase in staff,” said have * Switzer office Stark claims Telefilm is ignoring its own regulations in his case since the agency has had his script and budget in formation since April | and has not yet informed him if it is interested in investing in production of the picture Bill Gray,- Telefilm’s director of operations in Van couver, said Saturday Stark’s document is ** for breach of their whether or not itis funding.

But many replacing the dangerous bridge over the Stocan River is their top priority and want the project to go ahead. say an area residents say Eastman has said the funding for the project must be used now because it may not be available later if construc tion is delayed. Also, the funds are for the whole project so the road and bridge can not be completed at dif ferent times, he said. Archeologist Wayne Choquette will be hired 10 be on the construction site and will have the power to halt digging if artifacts are unearthed, Eastman said Choquette completed an ar cheological impact study of the area for the provincial government earlier this year and concluded the road will have an indirect impact on the burial site His report says pollution from cars chemicals on and near the road, and noise and vandalism due to increased access to the burial grounds will adver sely affect the site, Eastman said he has “nothing formal’ from the band on a possible injunction to halt the road Band ambassador Bob Campbell was unavailable for comment last week received esta ostp By CasNews Staff The appearance by Westar Tim. ber Ltd. officials in Castlegar provincial court to face charges under the Waste Management Act has been postponed until Sept. 19.
