Outgoing president Elmer Verigin told about 15 members at the Society's annual general meeting Saturday night that he hopes the expansion will be completed in. time for Expo 86 next May. Verigin said the enlarged Doukhobor Village would then be in a position to attract some of the flood of visitors expected during the Vancouver world's fair. expansion. The report — prepared by the Central Kootenay Regional District planning department and presented by planner Don Harasym — says the viability of the village depends to a large degree on the organization and management skills of the society and staff. “The value of the facility as a visitor attraction is more closely associated with cultural activities, staged events and lifestyle demonstrations, rather than with physical structures,” says the report. categories: high priority, medium pri- ority and low priority. There are 17 high priority projects totalling $1.5 million. The Christian Community of Univer- sal Brotherhood office tops the list. The study estimates the cost of rebuilding the office at $100,000. The uses. would be a replica of the original community trading company office and would be used as the admin- istrative office for the historic village and as a tourist information centre, possibly occupied by the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce. selling products — estimated to cost $200,000 — is the third highest priority. The study says both the restaurant and factory should be operated by private enterprise. As well, it says the proposed wagon rides — which are also given a high priority and are estimated to cost $50,000 — could also be oper- ated by private business. The study places a low priority on restoring the old Brilliant bridge and wagon trail to Verigin’s Tomb, citing “physical obstacles to trail construction and substantial restoration costs of the 365-5351 Installation & Mointenence Auto * Radios * Stereos or Systems * C8 Radios * Radio Telephones Way Radios * CCTV & Alarm Systems Recycling CASTLEGAR RECYCLING 365- 2656 Restaurants Ace C CASTIEGAR News is $90 per year ($34 in communities where the post office has let ter carrier service).

CREWS RESPOND QUICKLY TO MOCK DISASTER By CasNews Staff An empty freight train crashed into a school bus carrying 1S students Monday evening at a railway crossing near the Community Complex — but it was no ordinary accident. It was an exercise to test the city’s emergency program. And according to the municipal emergency program coordinator, local crews passed with flying colors. ‘The response time was excellent.”’ Steven He said the scenerio entitled “Operation Full Alert” called for the school bus with 15 students and one driver to collide with a freight train while en route to the Community Complex. “The train was empty so there was no spill," added Steven. However, the engine derailed and a fire broke out said Frank The simulated fire was ed by dousing a pile of old tires with gasoline and igniting it Steven placed the call to the local RCMP at 6:09 p.m. However, after 4:30 p.m. local RCMP calls are directed to Nelson, so Steven's call was taken by the Nelson detachment and passed onto Castlegar RCMP. Even with that delay, Steven said the RCMP were on the scene ‘‘within three minutes."’ (Composing Room Foreman ) The projects are divided into three .

Three ambulances attended the disaster The injured students were taken to Castlegar and District Hospital where Stevens said ‘‘within five minutes they had five doctors in the hospital.” He said he was ‘‘very pleased’’ with the exercise, adding that its success was due in part to the fact that only a few people knew about it ““No one had any inclination of a callout,” said. “We had kept it so secret and it worked.” The exercise was four months in the planning and Steven said there were only a few problems. He said the ambulance crews don’t have protective clothing to deal with victims of a chemical spill “Their protective clothing wouldn't help them against chloriné,"’ Steven said He noted that with the increase in the number of chemical spills, the emergency program will look at how to handie the spills. Meanwhile, Ald. Albert Calderbank, a member of Castlegar council's protective services committee, said Tuesday, ‘‘It was amazing how fast the response was.” He identified a few “hitches” in the exercise, including a communications problem with the hospital The hospital hadn't been notified enough in advance and that problem will be rectified, he said As well, he said the crowd control at the accident scene would be improved, though he added that if it had been a real disaster, it likely would have been better. ““We learnt a great deal. It was one of the finest simulations I've ever seen.’ Steven bridge.” The study estimates it would cost $250,000 to restore the bridge. The Society hopes to receive a grant from the federal/provincial Tourism Industry Subsidiary Agreement (TIDSA) and a number of other job creation. programs to help offset the cost of the projects. The federal and provincial govern- ments are currently negotiating a new TIDSA pact which will include a tourism incentive program worth $50 million allocated to tourism develop- ment and promotion. Announcement of the new. program is expected in early June. The Society agreed Saturday to have its executive apply for a TIDSA grant and proceed with plans for the expan- sion.

The government has “decided that following the rejection of the 2.3 per cent salary increase awarded through arbitration. Castlegar teachers were informed Friday by Compensation Stabilization Program commissioner Ed Peck that their 2.3 per cent increase was “too high,” Mike Rodgers, president of the Castlegar District Teachers’ Associa- tion, said Tuesday. Rodgers said the teachers were told to meet with the board and bargain for “something between 1.5 and 1.7 (per cent).” Peck said Friday he'll reject in- creases for the first half of the year at all but a few B.C. school districts. A spokesman at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in Vancouver said this morning that information on rulings for all B.C. districts isn't yet in. However, Nelson and Trail's arbitrated increases — both 2.4 per cent — were rejected by Peck. Rodgers said he was “disappointed” with Peck’s decision. The teachers’ 2.3 per cent increase would have been “well below the provincial average” for public sector workers, and the teachers haven't had a salary increase for two years, he said. And Rodgers pointed to the fact the Teachers, board go to court By CasNews Staff It’s now up to the courts to resolve a long-running dispute between Castle gar teachers and the school board over the lay off of lunch hour supervisors. Mike Rodgers, president of the Castlegar District Teachers’ Associa tion, said Tuesday the conflict is “still in the negotiation stage” with meetings taking place between lawyers. for the two sides. But he added: “We've agreed to dis agree and let the courts resolve it.” The teachers decided to end a two-week work to rule protest over the removal of the 18 lunch hour super. visors at the beginning of March “We let go,” explained Rodgers. “We stopped battling the board on it. We realized they weren't going to change their position and we weren't going to change our position.” The provision for lunch-hour super visors is contained in a signed agree ment between teachers and the school board. Rodgers said the teachers will claim breach of contract, on the grounds the document is legally bind ing School board chairman Doreen Smecher has maintained the document isn't legally binding, although the board may have a moral obligation to uphold it. The district will save an estimated $98,000 « year by laying off the lunch hour supervisors binding arbi isn't binding for them,” he said. “In actual fact, the gov- ernment has taken the collective bar- gaining system away from teachers.” Rodgers said if a second increase is agreed upon by the school board and teachers, it too will go to Peck for a final ruling. “Who are we bargaining with: Ed Peck, the board, the government? We don't really know,” Rodgers said. Meanwhile, he said teachers “don't know what will happen” with wage negotiations for the 1985-86 school year. Finance Minister Hugh Curtis re- cently announced funds provided by the education ministry must be used to maintain existing levels of service, and not for teachers’ wage increases. Firm bids He said that a board's funds would be cut by the amount each laid-off teacher was paid if the layoff was because of salary increases. Rodgers was also critical of the provincial government's recent deci- sion to set the number of teachers in each district. In Castlegar, the number will be cut from 143 teachers to 134.75 “teaching units.” This is a loss of 24 teachers in the last three years, according to Rodgers. Peck's rejection of arbitrated salary increases is one reason why teachers have filed gult under the new equality rights section of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, said Rodgers. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is challenging provincial restrictions on teachers’ rights to negotiate working conditions. The B.C. School Act, which governs teacher bargaining in B.C., restricts the scope of negotiations to salaries. $159,000 for city building By CasNews Staff A Castlegar firm has submitted the only bid for the city's proposed building at the industrial park Elecktro Dohmen Enterprises Ltd. bid $159,000 for the building, Ald.
