The improvements also will allow optional early retirement at age 55, five years earlier than in the current agreement. Offermann said the union has “a whole range of reasons for wanting a one-year contract. He said the reasons He » he ii that part of the reason for seeking a shorter contract is the possibility of improving market conditions in 1987 and the possible failure of a threat by the United States to impose tariffs on Canadian softwood lumber exports. “We don't want to get locked into a substandard agreement,” Offermann said. Both Ferriera and Offermann cited union solidarity as another reason for not deviating from the IWA’s position with individual negotiations. “We're going with an established pattern throughout the industry,” Offermann said.

He added that anyone who appeals a UIC claim won't be able to use Charter arguments before the board of referees or an umpire such as Collier. “People are being denied the effects of the Charter,” he said. Dalton agreed. “It is a disappointment to think that the Charter arguments cannot be heard by either the board of referees or the umpire,” he said.

But Dalton indicated that the two-year battle with UIC over the benefits was worth it despite Collier's ruling. “We felt we had to send a message to the industry that we were prepared to and continue to be prepared to fight for what we believe is right.

The fire at the heritage centre oceurred at approximately 9 a.m. A Grand Forks RCMP spokesman said the fire damaged the front door of the building and some of the walkway at two points. He said there was also some smoke damage to the inside of the centre. Damage to the structure is estimated at about $1,000.

Agreement promising TEL AVIV (AP) — Foreign Minister Yitzhak Shamir said in an interview broadcast Saturday that the Kremlin's agreement to meet with Israeli officials this month signals a readiness for renewed diplomatic relations. Israeli and Soviet delegations are scheduled to meet in Helsinki, Finland, on Aug. 18-19 for their formal talks since Moscow cut ties with Israel during the 1967 Middle East War. Nearly 100 people clasped hands in the heat of the evening Wednesday at the Castlegar courthouse and recalled the terrible moment 41 years ago when the world’s first atomic bomb attack killed some 136,000 people in Hiro- shima. “We're here basically to ask the world never to forget what nuclear weapons can do,” said moderator Tim Rezansoff. The 1'/-hour-long ceremony began in the courthouse parking lot where people formed a large circle and held hands while they listened to Tim Richards of the Castlegar Peace Group. “Despite the tragedy that occurred at Hiroshima, people today have only in part learned its lesson,” Richards said. He called Hiroshima a continuation of the long history of human warfare. “Constant throughout this history was the belief in violence and wars,” he said. “With all its slaughter and blood- shed, war was the accepted way to settle disagreements.” But “people of peace” should reject this basic acceptance of militarism, he said. “We believe that the peoples of the world can live together without He added it is more important than ever to recall Hiroshima and remember the people who died there: “to let this strengthen us in our resolve to rid our world of these evil weapons and to build a world of peace where violence and war are things of the past.” Rev. Jim Ferrier led the crowd in prayer, followed by a five-minute silent Brothers Joe and Harry Killough, along with sister Helen Dunlop, sang for the crowd, after which Joe Irving sang and accompanied himself on guitar.

Three members of the USCC Youth Choir serenaded the crowd before Ald. Len Embree officially unveiled the dedication plaque. “This is one of the more aspects of being a politician,” Embree said. He said the rally is “appropriate” for this area, adding, “Hiroshima changed all our lives.” Embree also noted the peace move- ment itself transcends all political boundaries. “I think it's going to be a long hard struggle (for world peace), but I think it's attainable,” he concluded. Members of St. Rita’s Church choir ended the ceremony with several hymns.

They've made a mockery of the collective-bar gaining process. One has to wonder what their hidden agenda is.” IWA spokesman Clay Perry said Bennett's allegation “is just plain silly.” “There's absolutely nothing hidden about the [WA's agenda,” he said. “We were deadly serious about contracting out right from the beginning. He (Bennett) didn't believe it apparently, but we made it absolutely clear. Now he's trying to find a way out of it.” Bennett said FIR has been unable to with the Meanwhile, the IWA has signed agreements with three more forest operations — the Kitwanga and Castlegar divisions of Westar Lumber, and with Nova Lumber of North Vancouver. COME SOON Agreements have also been reached with the 11 mills, represented by the Council on Northern Interior Forest Employee Relations (CONIFER) in the northern bargaining unit, and with Doman Industries of Duncan But while there was accord on some fronts, the IWA was stepping up action elsewhere. The union also announced it would boycott an informal hearing of the Labor Relations Board scheduled for Monday in Vancouver. The board was to hear an application by FIR for a declaration that the union is bargaining in bad faith by IWA on the controversial contracting-out issue that trig. gered the strike. “Tm at a loss to explain why, ina year when we're going to enjoy some recovery and the IWA could look forward to full employment for their members, this strike should happen.” Bennett said he is afraid the dispute could develop into a long stalemate.

By RON NORMAN Editor It could be months before the Regional District of Central Kootenay board gets a chance to vote on a bylaw prohibiting smoking in public places. The board voted in July by a narrow 11-9 margin to have staff prepare a clean air bylaw. and some directors thought the bylaw might come before the board as early as the next meeting on Aug. 23. But administrator Reid Henderson says banning smoking in public places in the regional district isn't quite that simple. Henderson says the regional district must first request approval from the provincial government in the form of what is called supplementary letters patent. And that could take months. Henderson said one such request was sent to Victoria in March. “It has yet to be signed,” he said, though he’s hoping it will be returned to the regional district by the end of the year. Henderson says he will distribute a memorandum at the regional board's Aug. 23 meeting informing directors of the process for preparing a smoking bylaw At that time he will also ask which municipalities and rural areas want to take part in the bylaw. Henderson explained that the bylaw won't be a blanket bylaw, banning smoking in public places throughout the whole regional district, but will only cover those areas which want to be ineluded. In addition, directors must decide how much money they are willing to spend to enforce the bylaw Once the regional district has received the go-ahead from the provincial government, staff will prepare a draft bylaw for review, Henderson said A final bylaw will then go to the regional board for approval
