June’s weather was better than May
but the Castlegar area has yet to
receive a sustained blast of summer
sunshine and heat.

Rainfall was above normal while
sunshine and temperatures were
below normal last month, according
to the monthly weather summary
from the Castlegar weather office.

“The cool, wet weather of May was

ined, to a lesser extent, into

” the summary states. ‘‘Upper
disturbances off the coast set up @
southwesterly flow of moist, unstable
air, which in turn provided plenty of
showers and thundershowers. Weak
ridges of high pressure provided brief
periods of sunny, warm weather,
especially towards the end of the
month.""

The hottest day of last month was
June 25 with a high temperature of 31
C. The record high for June is 35.7 C
set on June 30, 1987. The coolest day
was June 5 when the mercury dipped
to 3.3 C. The record is 2.2 C set on
two occasions, the last of which was
June 4, 1976. There were just two
days last month when the temperature
climbed to 30 C or above.

Summer's taking
its time arriving
in Castlegar

The mean temperature — the
average of the highs and lows for the
month — was 15.4 C. Normal for
June is 16.7 C while the record high
mean is 19.1 C set in June 1970 and
the record low mean is 14 C set in
June 1981.

The weather office recorded 85.4
mm of rain in June, well above the
normal 64 mm but well short of the
record 115.4 mm which fell in June
1981. The driest June on record is
June 1974 when just 12.7 mm of rain
fell.

The weather office said 85 per cent
of June’s rain fell during the first 10
days of the month.

“The remainder of the month was
relatively dry, but small amounts of
rain were observed more days than,
not.””

The weather office recorded 213.4

hours of sunshine last month. That
amount is close to the normal 239.5
hours of sunshine for June but several
days short of the record 309.8 hours
recorded in June 1987.

The dullest June on record is
June 1981 when the weather office
recorded just 174.8 hours of sunshine.

PNE back on again as
labor agreement reached

VANCOUVER (CP) — The Pacific
National Exhibition’s annual fair i
Vancouver will go ahead after all.

The 17-day event was cancelled
Tuesday due to a labor dispute.

But Tourism Minister Cliff
Michael, who is responsible for the
PNE, and Ken Georgetti, president of
the B.C. Federation of Labor,
worked out a deal late Tuesday
guaranteeing there will be no strike
during the fair, which ends Sept. 4. ~

Michael said he will instruct the
exhibition board to resume

negotiations immediately.

“Once I take this to cabinet and get
the premier’s nod and my colleagues’
nod, which I know I will get, the PNE
is on for 1990,”" Michael said.

Georgetti he promised ael
there will be no strikes by exhibition
workers until at least a day after the
close of the fair.

In announcing the fair’s can-
cellation, exhibition president
Morgan Thomas blamed a labor
dispute with the Canadian Union of
Public Employees, which represents

3,300 full- and part-time workers.

The union had promised there
would be no strike during the fair but
Thomas said “‘legally they can strike
no matter what they said.’”

But Ray Asenault, CUPE regional
director, sai his union never had any
intention of disrupting the fair.

The union wants a pay increase of
eight per cent in each year of a two-
year contract. The exhibition has of-
fered a six per cent increase in each of
two years.

ses can do to avoid breaking IRC
guidelines on essential services and
picketing, Salisbury said.

“They're trying to keep us out of
trouble and tell us what we can do
within legal limits,’’ Salisbury said.
“*But we're just hoping and prayin
(the government and the union) will
go back to the bargaining table.’”

The union representatives have
been meeting with union members
around the province to make
suggestions for actions that are within
the legal guidelines sent down by the
IRC and to seek suggestions from the
membership on how the union should
proceed at this point, union com-
munications officer Aaron
Bushkowsky said Tuesday from Van-
couver. (~

Each’ area of the province is
working under different IRC
guidelines for staffing to essential-
service levels and picketing, he said.

Some locals are already strike

paring airports operated by FSS personnel and those
operated jointly by flight service specialists and traffic
controllers and found the number of accidents to be equal
for both types of airport, Denis said. As well, airports
operated by flight safety specialists often deal with more
aircraft movements per year than other airports operated
in part by traffic controllers, he said.

Castlegar has about 30,000 aircraft movements per
year and many FSS-operated airports handle up to more
than twice that number, he said.

Many people also believe air traffic controllers en-

And Denis said he has spoken to many pilot:
“all agree safety and efficiency is the same’’ whether the
airport is FSS-controlled or traffic controtiers are in the
tower, he added.
However, Denis was unable to say whether Castlegar
FSS personnel can operate the airport as well from the
area in the airport building they now occupy. He said he is
unfamiliar with the layout of the airport and does not
know what the flight service specialists can see from their
current location.

However, members of the

The maximum annual volume of

agreement is 500,000 cubic metres.

The pulpwood agreement is for

Area Nine, which stretches from the

district office in Castlegar.

y said.
The IRC has its own reasons for

s whey limiting pickets in places such as

Castlegar and Trail but the union of-
ficials believe the council is trying to

make job action less effective and less
visible to the public by limiting where
pickets can be erected, he said.

The IRC regulations are not protec-
ting patients because patient care
would not be jeopardized by strike
pickets in front of the Castlegar and
Trail health units, he added.

Health Minister John Jansen said
last week the government is willing to
return to the bargaining table but the
union is not likely to agree to talks
unless Victoria comes up with a better
offer, Bushkowsky said.

As well, the union has to be for-
mally asked to return to the table
before bargaining can resume, he
noted. oe

The “community-care ~ nurses,
represented by the B.C. Nurses Union
and psychiatric nurses in the Union of
Psychiatric Nurses, are seeking wage
parity with general hospital nurses. A
government spokesman has said the
nurses are asking for a greater wage
increase than the provincial gover-
nment can afford.

The unions began the walkout two
weeks ago after a series of rotating
strikes in an attempt to force the
government back to the bargaining
table. The unions represent a number
of nursing professionals including
mental health, public health, home-
care and psychiatric nurses.

said. He added he is concerned about
what effect shorter operating hours
will have on activities such as the
flights of water bombers during the
forest fire season.

The tower now operates from 8
a.m. to $:30 p.m. Hours used to be
from 7:30 a.m. to one-half hour after
dusk.

The reduction is the result of
“‘budget restrictions’’ in all federal
government departments and savings
will be made by reducing the hours of
overtime worked by local air traffic
controllers, a Transport Canada

rokerman told the Castlegar News in
early June.

Kristiansen has written ‘‘quite a

nasty letter’’ to the officials who
bowed out of the meeting and he wan-
ts to set up another public meeting as
soon as possible, the MP’s con-
stituency association assistant said
Tuesday.

“*We're committed to (a, meeting)
and we're holding them to it,’’ Gerald
Rotering said.

““No matter how frustrated we get,
we have to tell them how we feel and
demand their consultation, whether
they truly come across or not,”
Kristiansen said.

“If there’s a failure here, we
should be sure it’s Transport
Canada’s failure, not that of the con-
cerned people of the West Kootenay
region.”’
