By RON NORMAN + Edito: The next lise Pacific Western Airlines cancels a flight into Castlegar Airport there's a good chance it won't be because of weather. Transport ‘Canada . an- nounced Thursday. it has ap- _ Proved a lower cloud ceiling at the airport which should reduce the number of wea- ther-related commercial flight cancellations. The ceiling at which planes used to approach Castlegar Airport was 3,456 feet above ground. The new level is 2,656 feet, or 800 feet lower than before. Student job outlook a little brighter West Koot Ki said the fed- got an unexpected boost this week in their search for sum- mer jobs with the federal government's decision to in- crease its summer student grants by $54,000. Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen said the extra $54,000 will create many more summer jobs for stu- dents. He said the additional eral money. will go to 22 com- munity Projects to hire stu- dents for various recreation projects, services to the han- dicapped, park improvement and homemaker projects. Castlegar's recreation com- mission’ will have $10,542 with which to hire five young people to arrange The reason more flights should be able to get in and out of Castlegar is that cloud cover over the airport was usually between 2,800 and 3,400 -feet. above ground. That means planes will now be able to come in about 144 feet below the usual cloud cover. Kootenay West MP Lyle Kristiansen, who lobbied for, the lower ceiling and who re- ceived first’.word of the change, said in a telephone interview from Ottawa that the new level will make Castlegar roughly equivalent to Penticton Airport — “may- be slightly less so.” Kristiansen added that sources inside PWA said the new ceiling would mean that more than half of the flights for the western region, said ina telephone interview from Vancouver the new track guidance localizer at the Castlegar Industrial Park is .the reason for the lower ceil- ing. Bullock said the TGL — an electronic device that gives pilots a tighter beam to fol- low — enabled the airline to install a new visual approach procedure at the lower ceil- ing. However, Bullock said the new system is “fairly com- plex” and though it should reduce the ceiling, he couldn't say by how much at this time. He said PWA will know how well the new ap- proach procedure works af- ter a series of test flights this Friday. The procedure is ex: slusive to PWA. said the old because of weather should now make it into Castlegar. Steve Bullock, PWA's activities at several area funds were allocated to the area after he wrote Em- ployment Minister Lloyd Ax- worthy March 11 asking for more money to ease the ex- pected high student unem- ployment.

At the Castlegar Volunteer there is now a total of $182,760 for sumnier student employment in the ~West Kootenay from the federal government. That's up from last year's total of $125,000. “Our original allocation. of only $127,000 was’ just not enough of a federal’ contri- bution, considering that Com- inco won't hire.a single stu- dent and .other major em- ployees are hiring fewer, if any at all,” said the Koot Columbia Child Care Society has been awarded $9,675 to hire four students who will present the parent education package called.

Kristiansen added that the new ceiling is a “really key decision” which could pave the way for a series of im- provements at the airport. He said the flights making regular trips with more de- pendability, traffic volume should increase. He said that at the moment Cominco flies its guests in and out of Spokane, but the company may change that if the local airport's cancellation record improves. He said ski packages could start routing here with more frequency, also adding to the’ airport’s volume. - In time that could lead to improvements to the ter- passenger waiting area, baggage handling, main garage, coffee shop and fire department. Constitution not ours Levesque tells rally MONTREAL (CP) — refuse and will always refuse’ the new constitution, Quebec Premier Rene Levesque told an estimated 20,000 to 25,000 sodden but enthusiastic mar- chers ‘at a Parti Quebecois rally Saturday. “This horror of a con- stitution was made without us, against us, behind our backs, and is not ours,” Levesque told the cheering and flag-waving crowd at a park on the slopes of Mount Royal,.at the end of the 1-kilometre parade route. Montreal police Director John Tibbles, in charge of parade: security, said ‘there was no violence during the parade: He estimated the crowd at 20,000 to 25,000. A 16-minute cloudburst soaked most of the marchers as they tramped along Ractiel Street .from east-end La- fontaine Park led by Lev- esque, his cabinet members, 3 Quebec Federation of Labor president Louis Laberge and officials som various na- tionalist gro Levesque, tieless and wearing. a grey pin-stripe suit, walked arm in arm with his wife, Corinne Cote-Lev- jue. A light plane trailing a banner reading in French, “P.Q. lost our veto right: It must go,” evoked boos from the crowd as it flew over the parade route. The anonymous statement referred to Levesque’s sur- ‘render of Quebec's. tradi- tional veto over constitu- tional change before last No- vember’s agreement be- tween Ottawa and the nine other povinces. Later Levesque told the crowd: “This is the first chapter of our real national history that is starting over and above our illusions, our affronts.

In fact,’ the meeting was one of the toughest yet for project ‘officials, who have been meeting regularly with local governments and citizen impact committees to keep them informed of the proj- ect’s progress. Project manager Ed Quirk _— who was also project manager.on the Kootenay Canal — called Murphy Creek-Keenleyside “a winner of a project.” But some. regional direc- tors didn't share Quirk’s’ viewpoint. Area J director Martin Vanderpol was one of the most, vocal critics, pointing out that Murphy Creek will flood Pass Creek Regional Park and the Blueberry fen. He accused Hydro of being unwilling to sit down. with local governments to iron out problems before the project it” Quirk said es govern- ments will have the oppor- tunity to have input into de- cisions, but Hydro must re- serve the right to disagree. He said local governments can bring their case before the utilities commission at public hearings. The commis- sion will then make a decision one way or the other. But Vanderpo! said Hydro should be willing to arrive at solutions before going to the utilities commission. Project co-ordinator Peter Calder also defended Hydro’s record on the Murphy Creek- Keenleyside project, noting project officidls have met with local governments and impact committees, and have listened to local recommen- dations. Community relations offi- cer Bill Mykes said Hydro wants to meet with the board’s Murphy Creek sub- committees as soon as pos- sible to start discussions on the results of the 15 recently completed environmental and socio-economic studies. Mykes assured the board Hydro will try to resolve issues as they arise, but again said Hydro reserves the right to make the final decision. Meanwhile, Slocan Valley director Corky Evans asked why Hydro can’t install a wood waste burning gener- ator alongside the Murphy Creek hydroelectric gener- ators to produce power. , Quirk aaid he wasn’t in any Position to make that sort of commitment but Evans asked that he raise the issue within Hydro.- Slocan city director Dave Barclay added that a power corporation in western Wash- ington State has signed a 10-year agreement with Slo- can Forest Products to buy SFP's wood waste to burn in a wood generator in Kettle Falls.

We must start again from here. British crown colony of the Falkland Islands. Thatcher went to her offi- cial residence at No. 10 Downing Street for a meet- ing with Foreign Secretary Francis Pym and Home Sec- retary William Whitelaw. One spokesman. described the conference as “stock- taking.” Government sources said the indications late Saturday were that Haig will not be flying directly to London from Buenos Aireas as ori- ginally expected but will go to Washington first. The Defence Ministry, meanwhile, said Argentine warships are keeping clear of the British-declared war zone around the Falklands. Thatcher had spent the day at Chequers, the country residence of British prime ministers 48 kilometres northwest of London. Offi- cials said she had.time for a walk and kept up with infor- mation on the Falklands and “other business that goes with being the prime minis- ter.” The BBC said Saturday that the United States is .pressing for United Nations or other third-party admin- istration of the Falklands, with a continuing Argentine presence and the return of expelled British officials, as a temporary measure.
