The newly rebuilt Island Phoenix mill and the Thunderbird mill at Nanaimo will close in late August, leaving 350 workers off the job. “The Japanese market in almost all products has been oversupplied because people who were selling into other markets, even U.S. mills that were selling into the United States, have been cutting the sizes that the Japanese want,”’ company spokesman Phil Dobson said. “We're reaching the point now that some of the ships are having to wait days or possibly weeks even to unload.”” The Island Phoenix mill sells more than 50 per cent of its annual produc- tion of 100 million board feet of lum- ber in Japan, he said. It was completely rebuilt at a cost of $60 million before opening last summer. So much lumber has been going in- to Japan this year the price for higher grade hemlock lumber has plummeted to $1,000 a thousand board feet from $1,800, Dobson said. The glut in Japan is caused partly because U.S. producers, faced with somewhat stuggish housing starts at home, have turned to the lucrative Japanese market, he said. The Thunderbird mill is closing because of the slightly weaker U.S. markets, Dobson said. The company has tried to offset that-decline-by-selling- more lumber in markets like Algeria and Australia, he said. “There’s a certain volume that can go to those markets,’’ Dobson said. “‘But Australia has higher interest rates than we do here. So the volume you can put in there is not that great.”” = Floor Covering Centre o= Genelle Phone 693-2227 OPEN 9:30 A.M. TO 5:30 P.M, TUESDAY at the mills are being encouraged to take holiday pay during the downtime in order to avoid losing pay, Dobson said. “A k closure is much more now than later.’” IF YOU MISS THIS DATE, THERE COULD BE NO ACCOUNTING FOR YOUR CHOICE OF CAREER.

Raggae, Guinean groups set to play in Nelson Raggae group Ras Cloud and the Sons of Selassie-1 Band will perform at the Badminton Hall in Nelson Saturday, Aug. 4. Hailing— from —Louisiana—but_with Jamaica as a second home, Ras Cloud’s music combines elements of both cultures: Zydeco and cajun music from the bayous of the south, reggae from the tropics of Jamaica and elements of rock, soul and gospel. Ras Cloud’s background is as varied as the music he plays. His home base has been Louisiana lately, but he has lived on Vancouver Island where he formed his first reggae band. He has been a frequent visitor to Jamaica where he recorded at Bob Marley’s studio, Tuff Gong, with Bob Marley’s former drummer Carlton Barrett laying down his ‘‘one drop’’ drum beat and his brother Aston (Marley’s bassist) on keyboards. This dance is open to people of all ages.

After the group split up Camara formed Fatala, which over the years has become a selection of the finest artists from world-famous groups and ballets, the release-said-Among them is Arafan Toure who for 26 years was soloist with the national ballet of Guinea. Fatala’s style is not simply traditional Guinean music. Their per- formance is a dazzling, sinewy ex- perience of traditional music played on traditional and handmade in- struments such as Conga’s balafon, doumdoum and djembe, with rhyth- mic dancing and high-pitched question-answer singing, the release said. - 4 4 . 6 mio|>|- Woe) . > 4c f z ° - 8 WrseJt FOO) WEEE z\mim| fez |o\m|<|>\o m| || > >|2Z/0/0) SOOO BASS SHWOOnnS DES) OOCEG) Bb sleWwt PISSO) WEWEG) see i |O}z\m fz \m||o fl im|x|>|o fl >|—|o|> ca|m|z [>| [>| |e o|m|0|—| nf ||| —|0/0 OORSE OSOSe) O8Smm) CORIRIGIETE GOES ES Celeste in| 70| >>| c/n | 0 > |~<|> || OE > |2|> |S Sele) SHS OOOEAH GE stu e (cc OBE) SHEL cw aimio|olO| mE lo|m|r- jm Rm! 0|>|o|o|>)m\a im|r-|O|ofm|o|>|a|— ADSSwswo SOMES OWwWEo) SOG Giswe) WSO) Clie FIRIGIC) SC) 45050 OOBOSH 8O0he Wood | Gh OBRBOO HWRBOSHEE OilmeOmI) GIGIGEG) GICIEEdit) OWOSSO SHEE OCIS: >| ima ris 29 Ci SAID CHEF IN CHINESE STRIKE WAS FINISHED: BE BACK AT WOK.” Crystale PleatedShades _ Riviera Horizontal Blinds, Warehouse Floor Covering Centre Phone 693-2227 T Open 9:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. RESTAURANT, WHEN “WE'RE ALL GLAD TO Limited Located halfwoy between Trail & Castlegor uesday through Saturday LOCAL NEWS Teacher training on the way A coordinator has been hired to oversee implementation of the West Kootenay teacher education program in Castlegar.
