In voting down the prop- osal, some board members said they felt it was unfair for ‘student athletes to have their own bursary when they are also allowed to apply for all other college bursaries. The policy had proposed that a total of $1,000 in bur- saries be offered to a maxi- mum of five student athletes per team. Board member Ed Man- nings said he agreed with the proposal in principle but five student athletes on each team would involve too much money for the college to hand out. “I have a concern with this bééslise I ‘don't know “if ‘we should havea special bursary set up just for team athletes when athletes are not pre- cluded from applying for any other bursaries,” said Man- nings. Another board member, Elizabeth Fleet, agreed that if up to five athletes per team received college bursaries, the college might end up losing a lot of money. College president Leo Per- ra said there are no other collages in B.C. that offer athletic bursaries, although the University of B.C. does. Perra agreed that the col- lege should offer athletic bursaries if it wants to at- tract student athletes. “The college is hoping to attract athletic students and hopes to set up a physical education program. Students will go to other institutions where athletic bursaries are WAGES continued trom front poge Embree charged that profits from the project will go into the developer's hands instead of construction workers’ pockets. ‘And because Federal Labor Minister Pierre Cadieux intends to change procedures in the Fair Wages and Hours of Labor Act, there will be “no guarantee of local people going to work on {the airport expansion),” Embree said. a Embree had said earlier this month that the airport expansion was “good news for everyone in the IK nts are not dumb. If UBC offers $1,000 bucks then they'll go there,” said Perra. He added that the only people within the college who support the eonéept “of an athletic bursary are those connected with athletics, but added that the idea has re- ceived a lot of support.

Cadieux's decision to change the Act for a three-year trial period beginning April 1 is contained in a letter to the federal building and construction trades department. “There are sufficient government, market and trade union forees' in place to ensure that the majority workers are paid such wages as are generally accepted ag current for competent workmen in the district in whieh the work is being performed,” the letter says. It adds that part of the reason for the change is that Quebec and Manitoba, which account for about one-third of the country’s population, have provincial fair wage legislation, so the impact of the federal act is “minimal.” The change has angered both union officials and employers in British Columbia. Without the schedule of minimum wage rates, contractors who win bids for federal construction work will be free to “exploit the thousands of desperate workers in the construction industry,” said Roy Gautier, president of the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council. Bob Saunders, chairman of the Business Council of B.C., said the decision means unionized companies will be at a distinct disadvantage and be much less competitive. The decision is “regretful and a huge step backward,” he said. “Without a floor wage rate, who knows where the wages will go?” Chuck MeVeigh, president of the Construction Labor ions Association, which rep! 650 unionized companies in B.C., said the government “is making a mistake. “They had better take a second look at the work they get for the price they pay because the quality will suffer,” he said. Colin Snell, secretary-treasurer of the B.C. Provin- cial Council of Carpenters, said union leaders want an immediate meeting with Cadieux. If a delegation to Ottawa is not successful in changing the decision, Snell said, “we'll look at challenging it legally because the minister is not going through parliamentary procedures to make this change.” AIRPORT continued from front poge The microwave landing system is a new electronic precision approach system for aircraft which was adopted for international use by the International Civic Aviation Organization in 1978. Elsewhere, Rybak said Castlegar Airport was the 12th busiest airport in B.C. in 1986. Year-end figures show a total of 79,504 passengers flew in and out of the airport. As well, the number of flight arrivals and departures -jumped by more than 2,000 — from 26,643 in 1985 in 1985 to 28,886 in 1986, an increase of 8.4 per cent. NEW LOOK . . . Canadian Airlines International Ltd. is the result of merging Canadian Pacific Airlines with Pacific Western Airlines. Besides having a new name the new company has a new look. New airline is born VANCOUVER (CP) — The merged Canadian Pacific Air- lines and Pacific Western Airlines will be called Cana- dian Airlines International Ltd. beginning April 26. And the company will have two head offices — one in Vancouver where CPAL was headquartered, the othre in Calgary where PWA's head office is, a news conference was told Tuesday. Pacific Western purchased Canadian Pacific and two subsidiary airlines, Nordair and Eastern Provincial, last Rhys Eyton, who was chairman and chief executive officer of Pacific Western, will hold the same positions in the new company. Donald Carty, who was head of Can- adian Pacific, resigned after the merger and returned to American Airlines as a cire- president. The new operation will have a fleet of 81 aircraft flying to five continents. Eyton said there will be some layoffs among the work force of 18,000, but said he year. The routes will be “did not know how many, merged April 26. “Simply adding them (the companies) together is not going to produce the effici- ency we want,” he said. “There are going to be re- dundancies. On the other hand we are hopeful that through four plans we have we can minimize the effect.” Eyton said the four plans. are: an early retirement package, taking over third- party contracts, severance packages and normal attri- tion. “We can minimize the ef- fect and have employees leave us in a frame of mind where they are still suppor- tive of the company.” Eyton said some Vancou- ver employees will be trans- ferred to Calgary, while some Calgary workers will come to Vancouver. “We're going to split the executive ranks between Cal- gary and Vancouver,” he said. “We have looked at the structure of the company and feel the very large employee presence here (6,000 in B.C.) warrants and justifies an operation where we can split the executive functions. “We have 18 flights going back and forth. It won't be onerous.” Castlégar News TREET TALK FRUITVALE native Lila Lifely, who saved a 10-year-old girl from an attacking cougar near Sooke on ‘Aug. 3, 1985, is among five British Columbians to be awarded the Carnegie medal for risking their livés to save the lives-of others.” Alyson M.

IT’S WOODTICK time again West Kootenay residents are advised that with the onset of spring they should be on the lookout for woodticks. The western woodtick most commonly found in this area can cause muscle paralysis which may result in death — though this is rare.

The $1,000 will be turned over to the Castlegar Cham ber of Commerce which will remove the Expo 86 portion of the sign and replace it with a five-metre log sign with routed letters spelling “Castlegar.” The log will be mounted on one-metre poles. The flag poles, concrete flag and letters “B.C.” will be left in place. As well, rather that repla Honour Castlegar's Citizen cing the bark covered area with grass, the chamber is considering leaving the bark in place and only seeding the present border, which was planted with bedding plants. \The Ministry of Highways ay d to the proposal. The mi also agreed to mow, trim gfd water the area as part/ of its landscaping contract for the interchange. The city will maintain the new log sign, the flagpoles and the concrete flag and “B.C.” letters. The chamber had initially considered replacing the Expo 86 portion of the sign with a pre-cast concrete “Castlegar” sign. However, city administrator Dave Gairns, a chamber director, said the pre-cast sign was too expensive. Gairns added that the chamber expects to have the new sign installed in April or May. Ald.
