The main complaint shortfall in the amount of timber cut on its licence, and whether the forest service is taking appropriate action on that shortfall. Area sawmill operators feel they should have a chance to process timber Westar isn’t cutting. Complainants allege that Westar, while undercutting its own timber, is importing logs from privately owned land of Beaumont Timber in the Salmo Valley. At the same time, Beaumont is buy- ing lots out of the north end of Westar’s Tree Farm Li- cence No. 23, the group al- leged. Cooper said a confidential preliminary report was sent by the ombudsman's office to both the'ministry and Westar two months ago. Senior officials with Wes. tar met with ombudsman re against Westar is the P in Vi about 10 days ago to discuss the preliminary report, Cooper said. The forests ministry had previously res- ceive a copy of the final report, Cooper said. Meanwhile, he said a ponded to the report.

Acting mayor approves of relocation By CasNews Staff Castlegar’s acting. mayor approves of the $300,000 proposal to locate the Central Kootenay Health Unit in Castlegar, despite growing opposition. The provincial government plans to double the size of the 3,000-square-foot Castlegar Health Unit this week by building an addition at an estimated cost of $300,000. The building is to house top administrative staff of the Central Kootenay Health Unit — formed by the amalgama- tion of the Selkirk Health Unit in Nelson, and the West Kootenay Health Unit in Trail. “I'm very pleased with the idea,” Castlegar acting mayor Bob MacBain said Tuesday. “It's practical and logical. I think it’s not a bad move.” But Trail politicians disagree. Mayor Chuck Lakes presented a Ministry of Health representative in Victoria with a three-page brief Monday protesting the proposed move on behalf of Trail city council. And Lakes says the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary, the Trail school board, the villages of Fruitvale and Montrose, and the Central Kootenay Union Board of Health all oppose the plan. Lakes said Tuesday while the original plan to combine the Selkirk and West Kootenay health units was “a fiscal measure” to save $250,000, this saving will be lost on the addition. Trail’s brief proposes that the Central Kootenay Health Unit operate out of the 10,000-square foot Trail Health Unit for the next five years. Lakes says the Trail building can easily accommodate the administrative staff. “We're going to have space here which will be surplus (and) they're spending all this money for a new building in Castlegar,” said Lakes. “What is really going to happen is we're going to have double space in times of restraint.” Lakes said he hasn't yet had a response to his brief from Health Minister Jim Nielson, but added: “I'm hoping the minister will give it serious consideration.” Although construction of the addition would be classed as capital funding, Lakes said the money might be better spent on operating area health services. “I guess what we can say is even if the money goes back into general revenues it'll have the effect of getting us back on track,” he said. Judith John, chairperson of the Central Kootenay Union Board of Health, also says the money to be spent on the addition would be “better spent elsewhere.” She pointed out that the Central Kootenay Health Unit staff in Trail need two extra clerical workers, and replace- ments for personnel on sick leave and vacation. The money could also be better spent on preventative health programs,” John said. The Central Kootenay Union Board of Health voted to ask the ministry to reconsider the decision to move the health unit offices from Trail to Castlegar at a June 13 meeting. John was skeptical that Lakes’ brief would sway the government's decision. “I doubt it would make any difference,” she said Tuesday. “It would take a major earthquake to move a major decision in Victoria, I think.” John said Victoria decided to move the Central Kootenay Health Unit administration to Castlegar because its central location is thought to be more convenient than Nelson or Trail. While both John and Lakes said that Central Kootenay Health Unit staff working as far away as Nelson wouldn't mind having administration based in Trail, MacBain main. tains that Castlegar is preferable as a central location. Tenders for construction of the addition will go out in a couple of weeks, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health said Actor fired because of name BURBANK, CALIF.
