Unofficial results from about half of 860 locals indicated Docquier led challenger Douglas Hart, a’ yeteran staff representative in the Toronto area, by a margin of more than 3-1 during voting Tuesday. Docquier, 57, who built ‘a big lead in all three Canadian districts including his home turf of Quebec, has led the country's largest industrial union — with 160, 000) members — since 1977. “It's a big mandate for me,” a jubilant Docquier said in an interview. “We will now have to put our program to work to keep our union moving ahead.” Two other members of the union’s establishment slate in Western Canada and Ontario also won jobs as directors. In Ontario, Leo Gerard, 38, a staff.representative from Elliot Lake, ousted Patterson after a bitter campaign. Both of those camps reported sharply different figures, but officials for Gerard compiled results from more locals, indicating his lead was almost insurmountable. ea ease CITY OF TLEGAR The 1985 INAUGURAL ‘ MEETING will be held on MON., DEC. 2 at 7 p.m. in the COUNCIL CHAMBERS OF CITY HALL 460 COLUMBIA AVE., CASTLEGAR The City Council Invites the General Public to Attend the First Meeting of the 1986 Council.

Responding to the 8:34 a.m. exercise were the Airport’ Fire Department within 27 minutes with its foam truck and dry chemical truck; Castlegar: RCMP and Castlegar ambulance in nine minutes; and Castlegar Fire De- partment with its first response unit in six minutes. Robson and Tarrys fire departments also responded with tanker trucks, al- though they were put on stand-by when the accident occurred, according to Airport fire chief Gerry Rempel. About 20 people were involved in the disaster. The Municipal Emergency Program _was also involved in the mock disaster with co-ordinator Frank Steven res- ponding in-eight minutes. Steven in turn called out the Castlegar fire de- partment and regional fire depart- ments. Coroner Paul Oglow was also at the scene. Rempel said the exercise “went quite well" with no serious problems re- ported. The exercise was held at the air- port's training mock-up area where fire departments put out a blazing- mock aircraft and ambulance attendants treated the injured (air cadets) and transported them to Castlegar and District Hospital. The exercise was co-ordinated by the airport fire department which worked with Steven at the command post. Only four people knew “about the scheduled disaster, including Rempel and Steven.

As it stands now, the occasional band of moisture will give a few flurries but little accumulation, Willson said. “It could snow all day and you'd only get a couple of centimetres,” he said.
