: 3 2+ _ Castlegar News sorch 3.1985 EDMONTON (CP) — There is no basis for wide- spread North American alarm over red meat and heart disease, says Dr. Der- rick Thompson of Foothills Hospital in Calgary. People who maintain a healthy lifestyle can eat red meat regularly without en dangering their health in any way, Thompson said. Accounting “It's an over to think that by cutting red meat out of your diet you'll reduce your chances of heart disease.” Thompson said for the average person a common- sense approach will be much more effective in reducing the risk of heart disease. He said that means regular exercise, maintenance of a reasonable weight, controll ing stress and not smoking. Students should be clean HAMILTON (CP) — Clean, conservative and confident should be the game plan. for students dressing for sum. mer job interviews. The first impression is more important than stu- dents realize, said Helen Cutaia-Mahler, supervisor for public relations at the Canada Employment Centre in Hamilton. “There are different dress codes for different jobs,” said Cutaia-Mahler. “But there are standard rules that apply to dressing for an interview. Students should wear either @ conservative suit or good pants or suit and a matching dress shirt or sweater. “How dressy you get de pends on what kind of job you're applying for,” she said. David MacPherson, prom otion co-ordinator of the Canada Employment Centre for Students, believes there is a middle line in dressing for an interview. Overdressing, excessive makeup and trendy outfits can put an employer off, said MacPherson.

Colderbonk Tourism stu By RON NORMAN Edtior The Central Kootenay isn't ready for a major tourist attraction along the lines of Radium or Fairmont hot springs, but could support smallerscale developments, according to a new tourism study The study was released Saturday at a special tourism conference in Cas tlegar sponsored by the Central Kootenay Manpower Adjustment Co- mmittee. Committee chairman Charlie Cohoe said some committee members were “surprised” by the study. “We had hoped that the study would ortunities in our area,” Cohoe told about 90 people who attened the conference. The study, by Coriolis Consulting Corp. of Vancouver, said, “The dev. elopment of a large-scale four-season destination resort and/or large-scale hot springs complex is not likely to be viable during the next five years (or more).” However, the study said there is still room for optimism about the tourism industry in the Central Kootenay. “Central Kootenay has the potential to expand its tourism eeonomy,” said the report. “The region has high quality resources, attractive existing point to large-scale p opp- D'ARCY SAYS Budget By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN Staff Writer The $9 billion budget handed down by the B.C. government Thursday is a mixed bag which provides little help for the average Castlegar resident, MLA Chris D'Arcy said Friday The Rossland-Trail New Democrat member said he is “pleased” with the removal of property taxes on mach inery and equipment, the phasing out over three years of the corporation capital tax, and tax breaks for small business. ‘But “I don’t see any change really for the basic consumer in Castlegar, whether that consumer has a, good income, or is just barely employed, or said D'Arey in a whatever it is,” Pp’ » Opportunities to increase dy released visitor volumes through marketing and promotion, and opportunities for viable small-scale development that can cre. ate jobs.” The study suggested possible sm all-seale developments which include: © a small-scale destination resort (or the possible expansion of an existing resort) © expansion/improvement existing hot springs. small-scale lake cruise operation © marina and boat services © houseboat and barge charters © excursion bus tours © amusements @ horseback riding facilities The report said each d of an would probably create less than 50 full-time jobs over the next five years. Jay Wollenberg of Corilios Con sulting Corp. told the conference the reason the Central Kootenay can't support a major tourist attraction is because the area doesn't attract enough visitiors. He said the Kootenay Boundary region is seventh of the tourism regions in the province in terms of tourism volume. The tourist regions surrounding the Central Kootenay all have much higher tourism volumes than the Kootenay Boundary region, he added. Westar fire caused little damage By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer A fire broke out on the side lift at Westar Timber’s Celgar Lumber Op- erations Thursday, but caused “little damage”, according’ to the sawmill manager. Bill Ford said the fire started around 8 a.m. under the side lift, which is used to bring small logs from the river into the chip and saw area. “There's a lot of bark and debris that gets piled up”, Ford explained. “It falls off the logs over the course of time,” becoming soaked in oil. Ford said the blaze was put out “quite quickly.” Castlegar Fire Department respon- ded as backup at 8:20 a.m. after getting the call at 8:16 a.m. said fire chief Bob Mann. Nine volunteer fireman in addition to Mann attended the fire with two engines, the chief said. He said the firemen stayed at the site for “couple of hours”. According to three inidentified eye- witnesses who were fishing directly across the river from the side lift, “it was 25 minutes” before firemen got hoses on the fire.” The fishermen also said that about 8:30 a.m. they came to the spot and saw “WKPL ‘Extended be the iss By CasNews Staff West Kootenay Power and Light Co. and its electrical workers have hit an imapsses in negotiations over extended working hours — the resolution of which could be instrumental in avert ing a strike. The electrical workers and West Kootenay Power met about six times from November until Jan. 31, when their two-year contract expired, Al Oliver, assistant business agent for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 213, said Friday. Negotiations stopped after West Kootney Power insisted on the option of having workers extend their work ing day by two hours with no overtime pay. The union refused, and the issue was “the main thing” the IBEW went to a strike vote over during the last week in February, said Oliver. Eighty-one per cent of the member. ship turned out and voted over. whelmingly in favor of a strike with a 94.7 per cent majority The issue of extended working hours will be a central issue in a meeting scheduled between both sides in Rossland Wednesday, Oliver says. He added: “With 25 per cent in the area we For instance, Ok S is amixed bag telephone interview. “I hope (the reduction in industrial property taxes) won't impact on commercial or residential taxpayers or municipal and school services in the community,” D'Arcy added. Industry property tax changes will make it cheaper for local industries like Westar Timber and Cominco to mo dernize and expand, which will provide “temporary jobs,” he said. But D'Arcy said that modern ization may mean the loss of long-term jobs. “The property tax cuts are a mixed blessing, but better than nothing,” he commented D'Arcy says he's dissatisfied with the five per cent cut in direct provincial operating grants for B. ondary insitutions. “I'm very disappointed in that it's going to mean further cuts to (Selkirk) College,” said D'Arcy of the cut, which chops the government contibution to $511.6 million from $538.6 million. D’Arey said he had also hoped for a mention of provincial funding for joint provineial/federal employment prog. rams in silvaculture, reforestation and tourism. And while the government has put a five-year freeze on the tax on water used to generate hydroelec. trieity, D'Arcy said he’s been working on obtaining a reduction in these taxes, which would especially help the West Kootenay. As well, the MLA said he'd continued on page A3 post-sec- pege A2 ploy figured if there’s any way to go, looking at it (the fire).” “It had the potential for being the kind of disruptive fire,” Ford said. “Our guys and the pulp mill guys reacted to it and handled themselves very well, Ford said. He added that the fire produced a “fair amount of flames” but they were “knocked down reasonably quickly”. However, the area was still smoul- dering. Friday workers soaked the area with water. Ford was hoping workers could dig through the charred remains and remove the smouldering debris this weekend. Ford said a few minor hydraulic hoses and some wiring was damaged. “Nothing of real significance,” Ford added. He said the fire wouldn't result in any layoffs. But Ford said it's not the first time a fire like this has happened in the side lift area. hours will uve of talks (employees) should be working less hours.” Oliver refused to comment further on negotiations. Jack Fisher, public relations officer for West Kootenay Power in Trail, confirmed the Wednesday meeting, but also declined to comment on specifics of contract talks. “We usually agree when we go into negotiations that we won't discuss these things publicly,” he explained. Talks with the Office and Technical Employees Union — whose two-year contract with West Kootenay Power also expired Jan. 31 — fizzled out in the last week of January. Fisher said the OTEU may wait to see the outcome of negotiations bet ween West Kootenay Power and the electrical workers before taking action. The IBEW has about 200 members working West Kootenay power in the Kootenay and the Okanagan, and the office workers’ union has about 70. A spokesman at the IBEW head office in Vancouver, who declined to be identified, said despite the vote, the union would prefer not to strike “We haven't reached a point yet where the plug is being pulled,” he said. “If we can stop this through collective bargaining, that's what we're looking for.” POSTIES DOING By RON NORMAN Editor The post office its share of brickbats, bot 2 News survey shows that all the criticism isn’t deserved — at not locally.
