CosNews Photo by Brendan Nogle Ferry workers laid off By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer The eight B.C. Government Em ployees’ Union workers who worked on the Castlegar-Robson cable ferry were laid off Friday, said Debbie Offerman, the BCGEU area representative. The eight ferry workers — only four of whom remain eligible for other BCGEU jobs following the layoffs — were told of their fate at a meeting in Castlegar Friday afternoon, just after they were given an award recognizing their two-year accident-free operation of the vessel. Offerman said the layoffs mean that the government is cancelling the service altogether. She said that if the government intended to sell the ferry, the workers would have been entitled to a large severance pay package with the layoffs instead of job relocation. The layoffs followed two days of protests aboard the ferry and vocal opposition from Robson and Castlegar residents that the ferry remain a toll-free, provincially-operated trans- portation link. Robson residents are continuing their 24-hour vigil on the ferry and are showing no signs of leaving until the provincial government reverses its decision to cease operating the ferry. Rossland-Trail NDP MLA Chris D'Arcy was in Robson Wednesday night at a protest on the vessel and told the group his party is doing all it can to save the service and keep it a respons ibility of the provincial government. “We've (the NDP) already voiced very, very strong objections to any tampering with the ferry fleet here or anywhere else,” D'Arcy said. “We cer. tainly can keep a lot of heat on the minister of transportation (Stephen Rogers) and the government to keep up their obligation to the people of the area and all residents of the southern Interior as far as the ferry system 8. D'Arcy said that while the party can't unilaterally force the government to continue operating the ferry, he will continue to make it a key issue in the legislature. “It’s certainly going to be a topic of major discussion between myself and Mr. Rogers,” he said. “The suggestions that they're making that the cost of operating ferries is strictly dead weight is totally absurb.” D'Arcy then returned to Victoria where he raised the ferry closure issue in the legislature on Friday Martin Vanderpol, Area J director for the Regional District of Central Kootenay, said all people concerned with the ferry should be firm in their Stand against the provincial govern ment’s move to cease operating the service. He also said the closure of the ferry is due to the fact that Premier Bill Vander Zalm was booed when he visited the area last month. Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore said the city is concerned about the continued on page A2 By RON NORMAN and BRENDAN NAGLE The Regional District of Central Kootenay agreed Saturday to consider taking over the Castlegar-Robson cable ferry. = But first the regional board wants the provincial government to begin operating the ferry again. “We've asked ... that the govern- ment continue to operate the ferry until such a time that we can get together with them and look over all of the details — the pros and cons — of the whole situation and try to arrive at a decision, an informed decision,” regional board chairman George Cady told reporters. The board met for an hour behind closed doors in Salmo before arriving at its unanimous decision. Highways Minister Stephen Rog ers had written the board Thursday offering to turn the ferry over to the regional district. “To this end we are prepared to make available all of the necessary equipment and facilities,” Rogers said in the letter. Rogers noted that a similar offer has been made to the City of Castlegar and suggested the regional district may want to consult with the city. “In the event that the regional district or the City of Castlegar does not wish to assume operation of the Robson ferry, we will be extending an opportunity to the private sector to operate the service,” Rogers added. Highways Ministry spokesmen in Victoria said a resident from the region, who they refused to name, has trict eyes ferry expressed interest in the operating the ferry. “A chap was in touch with the ministry and has expressed interest in picking it up if the community doesn't,” said Jim Van, executive assistant to Rogers. Vince Collins, assistant deputy highways minister, added that the person approached the ministry “com- pletely unsolicited.” Neither Van nor Collins would dis close the terms or price of the ferry should it go to a public sale, explaining that it hasn't reached that stage yet. Meanwhile, Cady said while the regional district is interested in looking into taking over the ferry, it can’t make a decision until it knows more about the operations. continued on page A2 By RON NORMAN Editor The B.C. Court of Appeal bas cut in half the sentences given four West Kootenay men found guilty last summer of operating a pyramid scheme. The four, Daniel Voykin, 31, of Brilliant, Stephen Evdokimoff, 29, of South Slocan, Frederick Churs- inoff, 50, of Brilliant, and Samuel Stoopnikoff, 29, of Castlegar, had their six-month jail sentences re- duced to 90 days. In handing down its judgment May 4, the Appeal Court called the four men “innocent dupes” and said their culpability was minimal. The four were nection with the 16-month pyramid scheme masterminded by former Sttages resident Dixie Dee Pow- ers. The scheme netted some $3.2 million in the Kootenays and involved people making minimum investments of $1,000 cash on the promise that they would see their money doubled within 60 to 90 days. Powers, 37, also known as Laura Grace Gibbons, was sentenced to one year in prison in November, 1986 for her part in the scheme. She has since been released. Lawyer for the four so-called “brokers,” Don Skogstad of Nelson, “BROKERS' SENTENCES cut said the Appeal Court ruled that the Killer gets seven years By CasNews Staff The father of an 18-year-old Castlegar youth who was murdered in Vancouver last year is angry his son's killer will spend only seven years in jail Greig Wikoren, 19, was sentenced this week in B.C. Supreme Court to seven years in jail for the April 26, 1987 killing of Darren Kolman. Wikoren was charged with second degree murder but pleaded guilty to manslaughter. Darren's father Hans Kolman, 50, of Castlegar says the manslaughter charge should have been murder. “If my son was killed in the backyard where the original fight started, then I could accept it,” said Kolman. But Kolman says Wikoren smash ed his son repeatedly in the head with a rock and then packed him into a car and drove away, killing him elsewhere. “Then he finds out that Darren is still alive and then he finishes him off,” said Kolman. Kolman said he had argued with the prosecutor not to reduce the charges to manslaughter. “My son was out cold at the time, now it's murder,” explained Kolman, adding, “The jury should be the one to decide whether it's murder or man slaughter.” The coroner's report shows Kol man died of multiple head and stab wounds. The report also states that Kolman died where he was found, near the railroad tracks behind a warehouse on Powell Street in Vancouver. Kolman met his killer at a juvenile detention centre in Vancouver, where the two became friends. After his release, Kolman went to Castlegar and then to Vancouver to look for a job. He had only been in Vancouver about a week before he was brutally murdered and was staying with Wikoren’s family for part of the time. “That was supposed to be his good friend,” Kolman said of his son's killer. “That guy was supposed to get him a job and he wound up getting him killed.” Schools promised $4 million upgrade By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer Castlegar school board has been assured it will receive the necessary provincial funding for extensive reno- vations to Stanley Humphries second. ary and Twin Rivers elementary schools. However, it won't see any of the more than $4 million needed to upgrade the schools until the 1989/90 budget year. “It was kind of disappointing that it was a little late, but we're pleased,” said superintendent of schools Terry Wayling The board had submitted a re. quest for $2.7 million to renovate Stanley Humphries and $1.26 million for Twin Rivers, plus an additional 10 per cent to plan each of the projects. After releasing its $53.9 million building projects fund for this year, which doesn't include any money for Castlegar, the Ministry of Education gave Wayling the assurance Castlegar will receive the money to plan reno- vations at Stanley Humphries next year and planning money for Twin Rivers the following year. Trustee Doreen Smecher said she is excited the board will be able to upgrade the two schools, which she said are badly in need of improve ments. “That building (Stanley Humph ries). is 35 years old,” said Smecher, chairman of the building and grounds committee. Smecher said both schools will undergo a major upgrading. “Hopefully, we're going to bring all the labs up to current (health and safety) standards,” she said. Smecher said the home economics labs, automotive shops and science labs will be upgraded and the board would like to build a student lounge at Stanley Humphries. She said the board had also asked for money to renovate the Robson and Tarry's elementary schools but was surprised it will receive money for even two of the schools. “There's no reason to believe we'd get considered anywhere near this soon,” she said.
