The hotel was delayed earlier this year when Sandman; Inn decided to seek refinancing for the hotel in the wake of rapidly decreasing interest rates.

He added that hotel business is expected to pick up considerably next year. “We have great faith in the | market... the signs are very strong for next year,” he said. “Next year will be a good year again.” Colotto noted that Americans are beginning to spend money again and are taking to the road in increasing numbers because of the cheaper gasoline prices. He said the new Castlegar hotel will aim for the American tourist market. Sandman Inn will begin marketing the Castlegar hotel this summer in cities such as Spokane, he added. Most of the workers who were at the Castlegar site are now working on the Vancouver project, Colotto said. He pointed out that there are only eight to 10 workers still in the Castlegar site. However, he couldn't say what the workers were doing re. ; “We have slowed down,” he said. “We are going at a snail's pace.” Colotto di Inn's commit- ment to build here. “We're definitely going to finish it,” he said.

More than a dozen people turned out with placards Saturday morning to protest the post office's proposed move to Rose's Restaurant near Playmor Juncti committee to try to find a solution to the situation that is threatening to divide the sleepy rural community. But a spokesman from MP Lyle Kristiansen's con- stituency office says residents had better keep their cool or an amicable solution will never be found. “If people take direct action now, they could end this says Gerald Student Placement Officer Kristal Bradshaw says job placements are up almost 100 per cent so far this year compared to the same period last year. Since the office opened in Trail in April, job vacancies have totalled 228 — including 161 regular positions and 77 casual. Last year at this time, the office had received 132 job orders. The figure of the number of job orders is somewhat The concerned residents say they. want the post office to stay where it is — at the Maple Leaf Store near the RCMP detachment in Crescent, Valley. Says South Slocan resident Nan-Cohen: “They're taking away a focal point of the community. For 60 years it’s been a tradition and they (area residents) are very upset about it." . Cohen helped draft a petition to mobilize Rotering. Rotering has been attempting to mediate a between of the ity and the Crescent Valley postmistress who plans to move the post office at the end of the month. Rotering says he is so close to arriving at an agreement between the postmistress and a committee of concern for the relocation of the post office. So far 35 signatures have been placed on the petition, posted unofficially at a local store. As well, 127 names were signed to a petition that was circulated throughout the community a couple of weeks ago. Cohen says that residents in Crescent Valley and South Slocan are affected by the proposed move. And she noted they were angry enough about the that any uph 1 could disrupt the delicate negotiations. If all goes well an agreement could be reached by the end of this week and could see the establishment of a post office in a trailer located in an area central to the com- munity. A number of issues centre around the Crescent Valley controversy, but Rotering says the main concern is whether the community would be willing to enter into a financial to Provide land and a trailer to organize a public meeting.

So far 176 Castlegar stu- dents have registered with the Canada Employment Centre for students located upstairs in the Towne Square Building on Spokane Street in Trail.

The reason for opening the Castlegar office “is to encou- rage employers to place job orders with us, it will make it easier for employers | as well d from last year.
