Highways Minister Alex Fraser told reporters in the a Fraser's comments, A7 hallway of the Legislature Tuesday that the Castlegar ferry will be stopped because it “costs too much money,” said Joan Price, assistant to NDP MLA Chris D'Arcy (Rossland Trail) in a telephone interview. Fraser made the remark following a session in which-he revealed plans to cut Interior ferry routes where there are alternate roads, or where bridges can be built instead Fraser's announcement drew sharp criticism from director Martin Vanderpol. Moore quesjioned whether the province will save money by eliminating the ferry. She pointed out ferry traffic will inereage traffic at the Highway 3 interchange and along Celgar Road, both of which are not equipped to handle heavier traffic: Vanderpol, regional district director for Robson and Raspberry, as well as Brilliant, Ootischenia and Blueberry Creek, called the decision “ridiculous.” “(The ferry cut) will cause a lot of inconvenience to a lot of people . . . it's 10 miles to drive to Castlegar,” he said. “But what can you expect from a government of used car dealers?” A Highways Ministry route analysis shows the ferry handles about 30,000 to 40,000 passengers. a month and moved more than 290,000 passengers in the seven-month period from April to October last year. believes it costs the government about $250,000 a year to operate and keep the ferry in running condition. However, Zahynacz said the figure is only a rough estimate. He said the city has already started to look at the effects of eliminating the ferry. He said it is an 18-kilometre trip across Keenleyside dam and a 16-kilometre route around the interchange. He noted that when the city amalgamated in 1974, the Highways Ministry turned over the Celgar Road to the city Zahynacz said if the ferry is eliminated, the ministry would have to designate Celgar Road either a primary or secondary highway, and that would mean paying either 100 per cent or 50 per cent of the maintenance costs. As well, he said the ministry would have to upgrade the road. “There's major work to be done th Zahynacz said, adding that the road cannot take increased traffic in its He noted that last spring the city closed the road to truck traffic because of the effect the trucks were having on the road base. “I'm not sure how much more traffic that roadway can bear,” he said. Moore said the city is questioning whether it will cost the ministry more to reconstruct Celgar Road than to operate the ferry She noted that the ministry has also planned te modify the highway interchange to handle current traffic using the highway. She observed the ministry seems to be areas that need modification. “I question whether that's economy or false economy.” Moore also said if there is the same truck traffic along Celgar Road as last spring and summer, and increased “loading” two Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore and Area J regional VOL. 37, No. 12 City public works superintendent Igor Zahynacz said he present condition.

And on top of that, we've got to look for jobs somewhere else or, if we have the seniority, have the chance of jobs at Selkirk but only at the expense of fellow union members.” Geller was. referring to the general union practice that allows workers” with high seniority, after a layoff, to “bump,” that is displace, those with low seniority.

The Castlegar District Teachers’ Association has been meeting regularly with the school board to discuss the budget and possible layoffs. The budget is ‘divided “into two sections: operating~ and capital ex penses. The monies allotted to operat- ing expenses (most of which pays teachers’ salaries) will suffer the brunt of the budget cut. CDTA president Mike Rogers said “the (school) board readily admits there is money” in the capital expense fund. But according to Wayling, money can't be taken from the capital expense fund to pay teachers’ salaries. “That's an arbitrary decision from Victoria,” said Rogers. He said meetings between the school board and the CDTA hadn't yet yielded anything conclusive. nd Rogers said he couldn't yet comment on a CDTA general meeting Tuesday night involving budget dis. cussions. FOR INJUNCTIONS Sawmills look to LRB VANCOUVER (CP) — BC Timber and other British Columbia forest products companies will be lined up at the B.C. Labor Relations Board this week as they attempt to win injunc. tions prohibiting costly secondary pic. keting by locked out pulp and paper workers. At least eight sawmills — including the Celgar mill — have closed since the Prices to rise, A7 pulp aad paper industry locked out 12,700 members of two unions last Thursday in an effort to bring the unions back to the bargaining table. The 5,500-member Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada and the Canadian Paperworkers Union, repre- senting 7,200 workers, have been without contracts since June 20. They insist they won't meet with the in. dustry before Feb. 15. More than 260 Celgar sawmill work ers are off the job, joining 380 Celgar pulp workers who have been locked out. But hardest hit by the lockout,-which will mean a direct loss of $10 million in production and wages and an indirect loss possibly triple that, is Mackenzie, a one-industry town of 5,800 in north- Central B.C. More than 200 members of the pap- erworkers union were locked out at the B.C. Forest Products and Finlay Forest Products pulp mills. Secondary picket- ing has idled nearly 1,000 workers at the two companies’ sawmills. Finlay Forest Products was before the board Tuesday, as was B.C. Forest Products, seeking an injunction to prohibit secondary picketing of its sawmill at Crofton on Vancouver Island. Other hearings are scheduled for later in the week. The sawmill in Port Alberni is also idle after steam from the adjoining pulp mill was cut off. The steam is needed to power part of the sawmill operations. RAILWAY LAYOFFS Meantime, B.C. Railway has dropped three four-man yard crews in Prince George, two in Mackenzie and one in Williams Lake because of reduced pulp h s. A company said he is not sure how many jobs will actually be lost because of a compli: cated seniority system that allows the crews to bump junior employees. “It probably means that some part-time workers won't be called in,” said Jerry Collins. “But if this thing (lockout) goes on for a while, lumber shipments could be affected. It can only get worse from our point of view.” In Prince Rupert, where 450 pulp and paper workers were locked out at BC Timber, eity council voted Monday night to send a letter to Forests Minister Tom Waterland and Labor —inside FIRST-EVER: Frank McLeod of the Castlegar Rotary Club has been selected a Paul Harris Fellow — the first such honor in the 30- year history of the local Rotary club...

Ald. Dave Cook said the shutdown is “a blow to the economy of the city that we just cannot tolerate.” In Prince George, Chamber of Com- merce president Rick Ingram said his city will begin to feel the pinch soon. Ingram, who owns a food equipment company that supplies logging camps, said he usually has three or four customers come in on Saturdays “but there was nobody last weekend.” “I know business in the supply and transportation sector is feeling it,” he said. A2 this Reagan, who wes speaking at a Republican fund-raising lun- cheon, said his party should not be complacent and assume it would repeat its victory in the 1980 election. “It's that mouth-to-mouth, that hand-to-hand contact, that telling about the differences in the record” between Republicans and Democrats that will bring victory, he said.
