New uses for licences

VICTORIA (CP) — The British Columbia government
will seek alternative uses for the tree cutting licences that
will revert to the province following closure of the Westar
Timber Ltd. sawmill in the West Kootenay community of
Nelson.

But although Forests Minister Tom Waterland is
concerned about the mill closure, he said Tuesday he won't
take any action.

“We will look at what we can do to encourage someone
to come in and use that wood and do something to it that will
add the most possible value to it and thus create the mo’t
employment and benefits for the area,” he said in an
interview.

“It was a marginal mill for years, and if it can't make
money there's no point in trying to force it to stay open.

“We have to replace it with something that will offer
employment opportunities, and continuous employment
opportunities — not up and down like that one has been.”

The sawmill, which employed 165 members of the
International Woodworkers of America, has not operated
since May, and the company, which closed its adjacent ply

SHOULD DIVERSIFY
Waterland said forest companies should try to diversify

their products and markets so they do not have to rely so ;

much on oversaturated United States markets.

Mills which already have done so provide a more stable
level of employment, he said.

Waterland said talks are under way between a firm,
which he refused to name, and Fort Nelson Industries over
the sale of its sawmill and planer mill in the northern
community of Fort Nelson.

Fort Nelson Industries, which has been in receivership
for more than a year, announced this week it is closing the
mills and laying off-150 employees.

Waterland said any change of ownership would require
his approval as well, and “if the mill changes hands, one of
the things I will make sure is that whoever buys ft wil#run
the mill

“Otherwise the timber licences would revert to the
government and we would try to make other opportunities
available.”

Mistakes on diplomas

By CasNews Staff
Six Castlegar high school students
received graduation diplomas from the
Ministry of Education with incorrect
marks, according to the principal of
Stanley Humphries dary school.

He said students at SHSS got trans.
cripts in August, and graduation dip-
lomas in the second week in Septem
ber.

Errors in marks on both sets of

But as far as Lach Farrell knows, the
mistakes haven't caused any major
problems.

“We don't know of any particular
students that have been denied entry
(into college or universities) because of
problems associated with the ministry
sending out transcripts or Dogwoods
(graduation documents),” said Farrell
Tuesday.

According to recent reports, some
students graduating from other B.C.
high schools had difficulty enrolling at
colleges and universities because of in

the Ministry of Education, or SHSS “to
be 100 per cent honest,” said Farrell

Staff at the high school were rushed
in processing thousands of marks for
180 SHS8S graduates at the end of June
this year. The marks had to be trans.
ferred to computer scan sheets and
sent off to the ministry within a week
following final exams.

Most of these were combined with
provincial exam scores to make up final
marks distributed by ERIBC.

ERIBC was also contracted to award
the $1,000 provincial scholarship to

and because marks distributed by the
ministry through the Educational Re-
search Institute of B.C. weren't re
ceived by students until the first week
in August.

But Farrell said incorrect marks on
diplomas at SHSS were “minor” in
natare. He added that a few people
who had actually passed courses wete
marked as having failed on their trans
cripts. The errors have since been
sorted out.

“I would say all in all, while there
was some foulups, we did not have a lot
of errors,” explained Farrell.

out 130 scholarships to students who
shouldn't have been recipients.

Farrell said no one at SHSS received
a $1,000 scholarship who shouldn't
have. One of the nine students who did
win a scholarship wasn't listed as a
recipient at first, but that mistake was
rectified, he said.

Although final grades were calcu
lated a few weeks later than in pre
vious years before Grade 12 provincial
exams, this didn’t hinder awarding the
local bursaries because they are
decided on the basis of the high school's
internal marks, said Farrell

Axworthy said Transport

He said if an MLS was in-

Man faces
murder
charge

DAWSON CREEK (CP) —
Jae Lacey, 33, of Prince
George, was remanded in
custody until Dee. 18 when
he appeared in provincial
court Tuesday on a charge of
first-degree murder.

Lacey is charged in the
stabbing in Chetwynd last
Saturday of Lori Campbell,
19, of Chetwynd.

Police said as many as 16
people watehed a fight out
side a gas station that re
sulted in the stabbing.

A oumber of area resi-
Wents, some of whom have
Fecently visited Nicaragua,
have pledged themselves to
‘work to help fill a ship bound
with tools for the Central
American country this fall.

‘The residents are part of
the Kootenay Coalition for
Aid to Nicaragua which is
sponsoring the Tools for
Peace campaign.

This Canada-wide network
of Church and community
groups, trade unions, profes.
sional associations and in
dividuals is trying to help
with the reconstruction of
Nicaragua through the collec
tion and shipment of goods
and materials.

The goods sent to Nicar-
agua were worth $25,000
and were shipped on the
country’s only freighter, the
Motiimbo.

Later that year a further
shipment of $70,000 worth of
supplies were sent as other
people became involved in
the project.

In 1982 the campaign grew
as more people responded
and more than $125,000
worth of goods went to the
Nicaraguan people.

Tools for Peace became a
national campaign in 1983
and from across Canada more
than $1 million worth of
goods was shipped on the
French vessel “La Fayette.”

Castlegar resident, Sally
Mckenzie, who as part of a
working brigade which re
cently picked cotton in Nic
aragua, states: “I could not
help but become aware of and
support the numerous
changes in education, health

care and social conditions
which have taken place
there.”

Mckenzie added, “Cana-
dian aid is desperately need-
ed by Nicaragua. The United
States has used its veto
power in the World Bank and
the International Develop-
ment Bank to ensure loans
critical to Nicaragua's devel-
opment are withheld.

“These loans are needed to
repay the debt inherited
from former dictator Anas-
tasio Somoza and to finance
the growth of Nicargua’s in-
dustrial and agricultural sec
tors.”

Jeannie Pongracz of
Castlegar, another recent
visitor to Nicaragua, says,
“The desire of Nicaraguans
to put together a society
where children will have
enough to eat, where every-
one will have the opportunity
for an education and where a
whole society will be free
from the fear of invasions and
more bloodshed

“This,” she states, “is what
the people of Nicaragua hope
for.”

Tools for Peace will be col
lecting hospital equipment,
school supplies, farming and
carpentry tools as well as
children's toys, recreational
equipment and musical in
struments.

campaign are: Barbara Tan-
dory and Curt Smecher of
Castlegar; Scott Leyland,
Rossland, Anita Titsworth of
Trail; Sam Simpson of Win-
law and Irene Mock of
Nelson. Call 365-7136 or
