“There are two full-time
employees in the ambulance

‘ eager to acquire skills that
would make them good para-
medics,” he said.

“To learn these skills they
imust have some experience and
training which could only be
received in the hospital.”

He said the present system

e in big centres but called
it “inefficient and wasteful” for
the small communities.

President Chuck Dinning
told members plans for the ex-

space for 10 new beds plus the
renovation of five existing

Spraying

The highways ministry's
annual use of defoliants in the
Slocan Valley appears to have
been cancelled this year, ac-
cording to the area’s regional
representative.

Norman Brewster, who
represents the rural Area H on
the Regional District of Central
Kootenay board of directors,
this week told the Castlegar
News a ministry official re-
cently indicated that the area
had been dropped from the
highways spraying program.

beds, a common room and other
amenities “are now back on
track” after being delayed from
April 1977 to November. of last
year while a survey of extended
care bed requirements was
carried out by the health
ministry's hospital programs
branch.

In addition to plans for the
extended care area there is to
be a maintenance shop en-
largement and a new elevator
included, he said.

“Hopefully, final plans will
be completed and construction
started in the fall of 1978,”
Dinning said.

Valley several years ago and
drew strong protests from area
residents,

He said West Kootenay
Power previously used the de-

foliant near its rights-of-way °

and power lines in the area, but
later abandoned it in favor of
slash burning.

The Area H director said
his advisory planning com-
mittee recently voted to ask the
provincial government to pro-
hibit the use of 2,4D and similar
herbicides because of their
potential hazard to residents
and_ wildlife.

the damage “will run signifi-
cantly higher than the $1
million reported earlier,” Din-
ning suid it was still “pretty
difficult" to determine how
much in exeess of that figure
the cost would be.

* Dinning said it was also
diffieult to determine exactly
how many sawmill workers will
be laid off.

Mt. Sentinel Television Society
Viewers to Go to Polls this Fall

Viewers from Slocan Vil-
lage to South Slocan will decide
at the polls this fall whether
they will pay a tax for tele-
vision reception.

Early this month the Re-
gional District of Central Koot-
enay board of directors voted to
include in November regional
elections a referendum on an
estimated — three-quarter-mill
levy for operation of a reflector
station in the area.

Area H director Norman
Brewster, who represents the
area on the board and made the
motion to take the issue to
referendum, said the station
was originally set up by the Mt.
Sentinel Television Society Co-
operative and funded on a
voluntary membership basis.

He said Co-op officers ap-
proached him with the proposal
for a TV reception levy after
learning many of the 2,500
viewers in the area were en-
joying three-channel reception
from the station without paying

“The indications seem

“People have gotten used to the

variety and want to keep it.”

“The attitude of the com-
pany generally is lo employ as
many people as we can," he
sald,

He said CanCel is still
working one shift of 65 workers
on the new sawmill's planer
mill, which was nol affected by
the fire, as well as 35 workers
in mointenance and “a number
of people" doing cleanup jobs,
But he noted the stockpile of
lumber for the planer mill
would disappear within four to
six weeks,

“What we're trying very
carefully not to do is panic a lot
of people,” Dinning sald. "We
have the Unemployment In-
surance people set up here
arranging for their benefits,
and as we require them they
will come back to work and do
whatever is available.”

But the shutdown of the
main mill because of the
hazards caused by the fire
damage will “have some impact
on people with less seniority,”
he said.

Dinning said roof timbers

and large trusses are “not
secure in their positions” and
power has been shut off in the
damaged area,

Questioned on the length
of time required to rebuild the
two mills, Dinning said it de-
pended on how much sawmill
machinery would be shipped
back to its manufacturers for
reconditioning. He referred to
the company's Tuesday release,
which cited estimates of four
months for reconstruction of
the new mill and up to 12
months for the main mill.
