Nilsen, nominated from the floor during the hospital soci- ety's annual meeting, squared off against Margaret Nickle in an election to fill a single two-year term on the board. After losing that contest, she was again nominated from the floor to face Teena Leitch and Nick Oglow in an election to fill a pair of three-year terms on the board. Oglow won on the first ballot but Leitch and Nilsen finished in a dead heat forcing another election to break the tie with Nilsen finally emerging the winner. The vote tallies were not announced. Committee eyes creativity Castlegar city council will likely vote Monday on a recom- to invite to submit plans for ren- ovations to city hall. Council's city hall renovation committee, which made the recommendation, said the city should look for a creative "The committee feels that a more imaginitive concept would be appropriate considering the costs involved and the time spent on renovation,” the committee says in a memo to council. City administrator Gary Williams estimated it will be "a couple of months” before the city receives any designs. “It's going to put our renovation schedule back Bat: we're paigd going to do this once and so we should do it really well,” id. An earlier report to council d the cost di city hall without altering the use of space in the ake would cost $140,000-$170,000. That estimate includes the cost of removing the main floor bearing wall. The union also wants pay for ining. “You should get something extra for doing extra work,” he said. Celgar spokesman ‘Al Blessin, the company’s manager of human resources, said today the issues of seniority and pay for training were discussed at a meeting Tuesday between Celgar and union officials. He said the company thought the seniority issue had been settled. “The rate (of pay for training) issue gypearsd to be the only outstanding issue yesterday,” he said. “So the entire issue wasn’t settled.” Meanwhile, the legal proceed- tions and créating more stress, Him said, adding that Tuesday's meeting produced no progress. “Nothing happened at the meeting. There's too much stress on the part of both parties,” he The union is also concerned that Celgar’s access to its finan- cial records could jeopardize said. Him said Thursday's court appearance will be difficult for the union because it doesn’t have a single person handling all of the union's financial busi- ness, like an accountant would for a company. Blessin was reluctant to com- ment on the legal Apr power but said the company had hoped to have the award “We've had discussions for the better part of a year for a resolution to it,” he said.”"We've taken the position from the beginning that we'd like to resolve this issue and unfortu- nately have not been fi The current contract expires June 30. “Knowing our financial ability for strike-related activities, how viable our operation is, definite- ly would weaken our position,” Him said. Blessin stressed that the arbi- tration award and regular con- tract negotiations are completely separate issues. “The (arbitration) discussions are particular to a one-time event and that’s training for the construction of this mill. Other discussions for the renewal of “The fact is that the arbitra- tion was handed down in November and the union has yet bod say how it’s going to handle ” the coll go on «all the time, the two things are totally separate.” Blessin said the company has been aiming towards a settle- ment based on the same kind of Saad ite other pulp mills in the province similar phases and PPWC employees. “We've talked about things that are basically in the ini try today,” he said. Instead of legal action, ‘both a solution to conflicts, “what we need now is the cooperation to find some met to resole these disputes quickly. A too-long confrontation isn’t good for anybody. It’s not good for the union, it’s not good for the company, it’s not good for the members. “We need to find some method to resolve disputes early in the process or find some method where we don’t have the disputes in the first place, which is what we need with the new mill coming in.” POLICE NEWS Alan Dow of Castlegar was taken to hospital June 18 with possible back injuries after his motorcycle was hit -by-a-vehicle driven by Sandra Postnikoff, also of Castlegar.
