Group opposes Spike By BONNE MORGAN effort to have the spraying stopped. “I'm sitting looking at the rail line BCGEU contract talks stalled VICTORIA (CP) — Negotiations for a contract covering about 30,000 provincial government workers broke off Friday after government representatives turned down a union request to continue talks through the weekend. The current contract expires on Sunday and union president John Shields had wanted to stay at the bargaining table after the govern- ment's final offer was tabled Thurs day. But Bob Plecas, the government's chief negotiator, said a cooling-off period was needed after an 11-hour walkout by prison guards — who are members of the B.C. Government Employees Union — at Oakalla prison on Wednesday. “Our position is that if the govern- ment is not prepared to negotiate through the weekend, then the talks have ended,” Sheila Fruman, the union's managing director, said Fri- day. Government negotiators wanted to resume talks on Tuesday. Instead, the union says it will begin holding regional meetings for its members who work in liquor stores, motor vehicle branches and government of- fices. “We want to discuss the situation so far and we will be recommending that the members give the bargain- ing committee a mandate to take a strike vote,” Fruman said. Plecas told reporters Friday after- noon that he had not been contacted by the union and told that talks had broken off. NOT OPTIMISTIC “I am not optimistic that anything will happen between-now and a strike vote,” said Plecas, the deputy minister of regional development. “I believe that was preordained by the union and it just proves that they are keeping to a schedule that was fixed a long time ago.” He said the two sides have never concluded bargaining on the expiry of the contract and that the union has never walked away from talks before There are two major issues on the table — wages and the effects of privatization on government employ ees. The government has offered 13 per cent over three years with four-per- cent, across-the-board increases in each of the first two years and five per cent in the third year. And Plecas indicated Friday that there is still room to adjust the gov. ernment’s offer. The union has asked for an average increase of 17 per cent in one year with a request that some job classi: fications have increases of as high as 35 per cent. After five years of wage controls, the union says as many as one-third of its members are living at the poverty level, while some workers trail their private-sector counter. parts by as much as 35 per cent. The union also is worried about job security because of the provincial government's plans to contract out services such as road maintenance. The government has offered op. tions for employees whose jobs are being sold to the private sector. But it won't promise that there will be jobs for all the current government employees. Plecas, however, said he is confi dent that any employees who don't want to work for the private sector will be able to find other vacancies in the public service that were created by an early retirement program earlier this year. He also said while the number of government employees has drop- ped over the last few years, the number of union members has grown because the union's certification has gone with employees into the private sector. Government employees last went on strike in 1983 when the province was ripped by dissent to then- premier Bill Bennett's wide-sweep- ing restraint program. Pool price now lower in taxes By CasNews Staff The proposed aquatic facility for Castlegar will cost homeowners 69 cents a week in taxes says the president of the Castlegar and District Projects Society. Ron Ross, who heads up the group which is taking an aquatic center proposal to referendum on Oct. 15, told the Castlegar News the price includes capital costs and operating costs. “Someone with a $50,000-house will pay $36 a year in taxes if the referendum is passed,” Ross told the Castlegar News. “That's about 69 cents a week or 10 cents a day.” Ross said $24.50 of the $36 will go towards paying off the capital cost of building the facility and $11.50 will The capital cost of building the facility will be paid off over a 20-year period, after which the tax to home owners will drop to cover only operating expenses he said Earlier estimates for the proposed $2.2-million facility were as high as $1 a week, or $52 a year, but Ross said the latest figures are “concrete.” The referendum for the facility includes homeowners in Areas I, J and Castlegar. The design for the facility includes a 25-metre-long, six-lane swimming pool, a whirlpool, a wading pool, sauna, exercise- weight room, eating and viewing areas. As well the facility will have full change rooms and an office The facility will be located adja cent to the Community Complex if Staff Writer A group of residents who live in rural communities between Castle- gar and Nelson intend on stopping the spraying of the herbicide Spike near their homes. CP Rail has a pesticide license to spray Spike along rail lines between Castlegar and Nelson and Castlegar and Trail from Aug. 9 to Aug. 22. “There will be people on that line to physically stop the spraying,” Thrums resident Mickey Kinakin said following a public meeting at the Tarry's Hall. However, Kinakin said the group of about 25 who attended the meeting will first try to convey their opposition to political officials in an Pilot dies in plane crash By CasNews Staff A Conair pilot was killed when fighting a forest fire near Ymir Wed- nesday. John Leland Thies, 49, of Sidney, B.C., was killed when his plane crashed at Porcupine Creek, just east of Ymir. Ground crews fighting the fire reported the accident to Salmo RCMP Wednesday afternoon, but weather conditions prevented the removal of the body that da RCMP report Thies was the only person in the plane and was throw# from the plane in the accident. An investigator from the Canadian Aviation Safety board went to the site Friday to determine the cause of the crash. The plane was a converted military aircraft called a Grumman fire cat. The fire was still burning Friday. 2 Kinakin said he thinks there is enough opposition to generate 200 protesters. The group believes that CPR's rescheduling of train traffic between Castlegar and Nelson Aug. 11 means the spraying will take place on that day and the group is committed to stop it. “If they want to move them, then they are going to have to get the police to move us,” Kinakin told the Castlegar News. The fact that rail areas within the city limits of Castlegar will not be sprayed was discussed at the meet- ing. “The feeling was that if CPR can exempt one residential area, it can damn well do it in other areas,” said Kinakin. Kinakin said the protesters will be a mixture of those who are envir. onmentally concerned about the her bicide and those who feel threatened by the closeness of its use to their homes. which is 60 feet from my house,” said Kinakin, adding that many residents and their children walk in that areas to be sprayed. Kinakin said he feels the chemical hasn't been properly tested. “This (Spike) is not a tested quantity,” said Kinakin. “The side effects are unknown.” Use of Spike in the area was also appealed last year, but the appeals were denied with further controls added to the permits. CPR also applied to spray between South Slocan and Slocan City but the pesticide control branch for the Ministry of the Environment and Parks in the southern interior and the Kootenay region turned it down because the sites were within 10 metres of water bodies. “It's our general policy not to allow the use of any pesticide or herbicide within 10 metres of any water body,” Stuart Craig, regional manager of the pesticide control program told the Castlegar News earlier. Pain-killing drug recalled TORONTO (CP) — A Toronto- based drug company recalled types of the pain reliever Panadol from across the country Friday after a tot opened a child-proof bottle and drank some of its contents, Sterling Drug. Ltd. voluntarily re- called the following types of Panadol: Panadol Infant's Drops, 16 mL and 25 mL liquid; Children's Panadol Tab- lets, 24-tablet size; Children’s Pana- dol Liquid, 100 mL size; Panadol Tabiets for adults, 24-tablet size — both 325-mg and 600-mg strengths. All have child-resistant caps. But because of an engineering error, not all caps may be in the locked position, said Joseph Kiefer, a spokesman. About two weeks ago, a Toronto child opened a new package of the liquid Infant's Drugs and drank some. The child recovered, Kiefer said, but’ the incident prompted a review of the company's capping equipment. Parents who have the pain reliever should make sure the bottle caps are fully tightened, he said. Bottles now on store shelves will be replaced with Properly locked ones. “Until a bottle is used once, there is the potential for a child to get into it.” Sterling the expiry date. go towards operating it the referendum is passed in October. Smuggler kicked out By JIM SHEPPARD The Canadian Press A man who masterminded the smuggling of 174 Asians into Nova Scotia last year was ordered to leave Belgium after another alleged attempt last week to bring illegal immigrants to Canada, Belgian poilce and government officials said Friday. Police said they questioned Swedish ship captain Rolf Nygren after they found him near the scene of the latest alleged smuggling attempt. Nygren was released from a Canadian prison in February after serving more than seven months of a one-year sentence for his role in the landing of the Asians, mainly Sikhs, on a beach at Charlesville, N.S., in July 1987. The Belgian officials also confirmed Friday they ordered the expulsion of Jasvir Singh, who has the same name as a man also d to jail for his in last July's Nova Scotia incident. The officials said, however, they could not confirm he is Jasvir Singh of Coventry, England, who was sentenced with Nygren last year. Brussels police Capt. Paul Van Phielen said Nygren was questioned for several hours after being found near the Belgian beach where a group of East Indians was being assembled July 20 to board a ship. They are reported to have told authorities they were headed for Canada. Van Phielen,said from Brussels that Nygren was not arrested betause he had hot broken any Belgian laws. The captain said Nygren was given 24 hours to leave the country. Van Phielen said Nygren denied any involvement in the incident last week in which 52 people were detained by Belgian police near Veurne, south of Ostend, Belgium. Asked direttly whether Nygren was the same man who brought the 174 people to Charlesville last year, Van Phielen replied: “Yes, definitely.” Nygren was jailed last July for violating Canadian immigration laws. He was also fined $5,000 for his role in the Charlesville incident. "i A Jasvir Singh was sentenced at that time to three months in jail and fined $5,000. A Belgian justice department spokesman, who asked not to be identified, said Friday the Jasvir Singh questioned last week was the only other man found near the beach carrying a European passport Nygren’s current whereabouts are not known and neither Van Phielen nor two spokesmen for the Belgian justice department could confirm he had left Belgium. Charlotte Pins, another spokesman fo department, said a judicial inquiry will look into several aspects of the affair, including why Nygren was not arrested. the justice SOME STILL JAILED The two justice department spokesmen said 13 of the 52 men detained last week in Belgium remain in prison and are still being questioned. Twelve others, including Nygren and Singh, were ordered to leave the country, while 10 more were sent to the Netherlands and the final 17 were allowed to remain in Belgium. Meanwhile, 21 other East Indians found abandoned off the coast of Denmark on board the ship and thought to be involved |in the Belgian incident were flown back Friday to Belgium from Copenhagen. Finn Ravnborg, assistant police chief in Copen hagen, said the men were put on « flight to Brussels. Pins said later they had arrived in Brussels and were being questioned to determine if they qualified as political refugees. Ravnborg said Danish police still had no trace of the crew who left the 499-ton coastal freighter Byrding at anchor off the west coast of Jutland peninsula Tuesday night. Reports in the Danish press said the Sikhs had each paid between the equivalent of $3,000 and $4,000 Cdn for the voyage. The press reparts said the 21 were well-dressed young men wearing turbans, the Sikh's traditional head: dress. Sikh extremists have been waging a violent for an independ Sikh b in India’s Punjab state. The reports said the crew abandoned in Byrding, which had engine trouble, after telling the Sikhs to hide in the cargo hold. The vessel started drifting and ran aground about 100 metres off the Danish coast. The Sikhs contacted police by radio and were taken ashore by a pilot boat Wednesday morning.
