will be auctioned off after the
banquet.

“The ideas for decorating the trees
are truely creative,’’ says Annie Holt-
by, who is coordinating the event on
behalf of the Selkirk College Foun-
dation board. **As works of art, these
trees promise to be something
special.’*

Holtby, who is from the Bound-
dary area, is a trustee on the board of
governors of the college foundation.

The trees aren't the only thing
special about the evening that begins
with a gourmet dinner prepared by
students in the college’s professional
cooking program under the super-
vision of Merle Mearz, cooking in-
structor.

The banquet, which includes wine
and after-dinner aperitifs, will be ser-
ved by students in other tourism
department programs. During the
meal, festival-goers will be serenaded
by the college's professional music
Program faculty.

In addition to the trees, which will
be auctioned off after the dinner, an
array of hand-crafted Christmas gifts
will be on display and open to bids at
a silent auction.

Tickets for the gala evening are
$40 per person. Business and civic
groups or clubs are encouraged to
organize tables of eight by Nov. 12 to
ensure group seating. Because the
Festival of Trees is a charitible event,
half the ticket price is tax deductible.

In Nelson, tickets are available
from Exner and Dietrich chartered
accountants. In Castlegar, contact
Marg Poohachoff at Selkirk College
or Ald. Marilyn Mathieson for
tickets. In Trail, contact Jean Cor-
mak and in Grand Forks contact
Holtby. at the college there.

As they are completed, the trees
will be displayed at local business in
many communities across the region.

The Festival of Trees is a concept
that was staged quite successfully in
Edmonton, said Holtby, who is sure
that Nelson hasn’t seen anything like
this event. If all goes well, it should
prove to be a shot in the arm for the
college foundation in its efforts to
assist students attend college.

Environmental
assessments stopped

VANCOUVER (CP) — Environ-
ment Ministry officials in northern
British Columbia were ordered to
stop assessing the environmental im-
pact of everything from logging to
pesticides this spring and summer, say
two internal ministry memos.

Two directives — copies of which
were obtained by the Vancouver Sun
— told officials where to make cuts in
ministry reviews of logging plans,
pesticide permits, power lines,
pipelines, placer mining and oil and
gas developments.

Both memos blame inadequate
staff levels and an ever-increasing
workload for cuts in the Skeena and
northern Interior regions.

“‘We cannot continue to take on
greater workloads and watch the
quality and effectiveness of
‘everything we do suffer by similiar in-
crements,’’ said of the memos, signed
by D.L. Zirul, northern Interior fish
and wildlife manager.

Environment Minister John
Reynolds said there have been no
budget cuts in his ministry’s habitat
management programs this year.

He released a ministry statement
which says: ‘Managers are by
definition required to priorize staff
time and resources. These memos
reflect ongoing decisions.’’

John Cashore, the NDP’s en-
vironment critic, criticized Reynold’s
response.

The ‘minister doesn’t recognize
there are times environmental concer-
ns don’t coincide with this gover-
nment’s fiscal plan, Cashore said.

The Environment Ministry
statement said, however, that the
government has advertised openings
for the equivalent of 2% full-time
habitat protection jobs in the nor-
thern region and is considering can-
didates.

PRINCE GEORGE (CP) — The
federal government may consider
other options if it and the B.C. gover-
nmeht can’t agree on a second phase
of the Forest Resource Development
Agreement by the end of the year,
Frank Oberle, minister of state for
forests, said.

The first phase of the agreement
expired this spring after the
reforestation of more than 60,000
hectares in the northeast quarter of
the province.

Both levels of government each
contributed $150 million to
reforestation during the agreement's
five-year term.

Now, the federal government is of-
fering $100 million as its portion of
the agreement.

“That is what I have to work with
for B.C.,"’ said Oberle, who is also
the MP for Prince George-Peace
River.

Oberle said he had no progress to
report in negotiations.

“I wish I could say that, but I
can’t, except that this issue has to be
resolved before the end of the year or
I'll have to look at other options,"’ he
said.

to bring in 1991-92 budgets that are
five per cent less that for their
allocations for the current fiscal year.
