Since the four-month work term started in May, 52 stu- dents have been working for employers across western Cana- da and as far away as Australia through the Business Adminis- tration, Business Information Systems and Electronics Engi- neering Technology programs. For example, EET student Joanne Aitzetmueller is spend- ing the next four months work- ing for Shaw Cable in Castlegar assisting in a fibre optic/CATV expansion project. Also in Castlegar is local stu- dent Sue Heaton who is work- ing for the Selkirk College Foun- dation and the Castlegar Devel- opment Board. “Co-operative education has allowed me to experierice a few different jobs and to develop a respectable waladiane issue,” she said.

The previous report issued by the CMHC, reflecting October vacancy rates, also showed virtually nothing in rental accomodations. However, the grim picture that statistic presents to renters can mean a promising venture for investors, said Richard Maddocks, executive director of the Castlegar and District Development Board. The purpose of the development board, he explained, is to tch opportunities in the Sarnanaite, take a rental shortage, with investors, who in this case could finance the con- struction of new rental accommoda- tions. “We've done quite a bit of that over the past year.” And while Maddocks said he’s not aware of any large projects, other than Selkirk College’s student hous- ing project, he said a number of small- er projects are in the works. “It’s definitely safe to say we're in the 20 to 30 (unit) range and it’s quite possible that there are mare projects or developments in the planning stages and we're simply not aware of them,” he said. One project that has been pursued d dent of the devel board is a 60-unit complex on Forest Réad. Jim Rysen, who together with Bar- clay Creighton is behind the project, said Monday the project will proceed despite several delays. Rysen had told the CasNews in February he hoped to start construc- tion in March. “There’s been some delays but it’s coming right down to the final wire _ now when we're going to go,” he said, adding he’s confident everything will fall into place. He said he now expects construc- tion to start in the fall and be com- ‘pleted next spring. Meanwhile, Maddocks said he expects students to be hit hardest by the current shortage. “That’s going to be a tough haul for them this year because even (the Selkirk College) housing project won't be on stream until early next year,” he said. “That’s going to create signifi- cant pressures on the community come August or September. He said students may be forced to rent in Nelson or Trail, where rental prospects are better. But that, he added, means a loss of income to the community. CMHC’s figures — published twice a year — do not include private rentals such as basement suites. But Castlegar realtor Wayne McCarthy agreed the rate is close to zero. “There’s just a ton of people coming in fog rentals,” he said. “It does tend to slack off a bit in the summer... but they’re coming in almost daily.” Keeping tree farm intact in best for area, D’Arcy says By SIMON BIRCH Editor Tree farm licence 23 should be kept intact when Westar Group Ltd. sells its timber ba gata Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy say: Keeping the TFL intact is “the only ine that’s in the interest of our told-the- Sunday~Ctoudy of showers.

Strike notice served on Cel- gar by the Pulp and Paper Workers of Canada is effective at midnight tonight. “Because of our connection to the pulp mill with chips and waste material, the hog fuel, we may mere to take the sawmill manager Dan Madlung i Thursday. Inventory stored in the Arrow Lakes for the Castlegar sawmill is currently valued at about $8 to $9 million, which puts the mill in a vulnerable position if a strike were to be lengthy, he said. “If we leave that wood in the water, number one a lot of it will sink to the bottom. Number two, it’s possible in storms we could lose a lot of it and number three, it just costs a lot to money to carry that kind of inventory. “So if there is a strike and if it’s a long strike, then we're at that risk with the log inventory. So what we want to do during these times when we don’t quite understand what’s going to hap- pen is we want to reduce our risk there,” he said. Logging that feeds Westar’s Malakwa mill, near Sycamous, will continue as will all right-of- way, silviculture and engineer- ing projects.
