While academic education has suf fered from funding cuts, more money had been channelled into the federal Canadian job skills program, making it easier for colleges to increase skills development programs But more cuts will inevitably accom- pany a predicted decrease in enrolment, said Dennison, He advised colleges to apply ‘*more creative thinking” to future fund- raising in order to reduce dependence on government money “It’s time for more colleges to ex pand their entrepreneurial skill,” he said One ‘option is forming a closer relationship with the private sector.

Arnett said he had “‘heard it all before’ and if the protesters wanted to havea say in the forestry activity in the valley! they should come to the negotiating table and discuss the Ministry of Forests’ Integrated Water- shed Management Plans. The Springer Creek-Dayton Creek area has been designated a pilot |'WMP and a committee of ministry, alliance and industry representatives have talked about how logging should proceed in the area Talks bogged down last year, however, over the issue of solving disputes. The protesters told Arnett they do not want to stop logging in the area, just clear-cutting. Instead, the alliance wants selective logging used, a process where only certain trees are cut leaving the rest of the timber and vegetation in- tact Selective logging is used wherever possible, Arnett told the Castlegar News, but on the slopes in the valley it’s not always feasible. Alliance members accused Arnett of trying to impose his will when the two sides talk Arnett said he has to work under Forest Ministry guidelines and they can not be changed for ‘‘any little group in any little valley."” The alliance wants to set the rules for negotiation and they can’t do that, Ar nett said. “They have input (into decisions made in the |WMP area) but there is a difference between input and making decisions."* The Forest Service wants to makeall the decisions without listening to what the people of the area have to say, the alliance members told Arnett Arnett was presented with a book on the greenhouse effect, a sample of water collected downstream of a clear- cut and a petition asking him to con- tact the undersigned to inform them of any plans for logging in the area Arnett said that was impossible — a public notice would have to do — ‘if every person (on the petition) wan ts to know what is going on they should get involved in the (negotiating) process." Negotiations on [WMPs have been going on for several years, alliance spokesman Wayne Peppard said in an interview The watershed groups in the area asked for a general policy on logging in the area to. be worked out and when those talks stalled they considered taking the Forest Service to court continued on page A2 - is » hist Protect the watersheds Members of the Slocan Valley Watershed Alliance protest watershed logging and forestry management practices outside the Arrow Forest District office in Castlegar Monday.

Moore said Tuesday she is in contact with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, which is helping organize the trip, and Celgar Pulp Co general manager Wilf Sweeney. Celgar is 50 per cent-owned by the China In- ternational Trust Investment Corp., and part of the itinerary of Moore and Gairns included meeting with CITIC officials to discuss the possible expan: sion of the Celgar mill. “We're monitoring the situation very closely," Moore said of the unrest in China. ‘We're certainly staying abreast of what's happening there the best we know how. We certainly don’t condone what's goingon.”’ Moore said she should know more about the situation by Friday Meanwhile, British Columbia teachers and students were being ad- vised Tuesday by the provincial gover nment to cancel travel and study tours toChina. “We suggest travel plans be revised to include Pacific Rim countries other than the People’s Republic of China,”’ said Education Minister Tony Brum- met. ‘Because of the escalation’ of file cabinet,"’ explained Gairns from his temporary main-level office. ‘1 was handed a slip of paper from the counter and I held it in my teeth. These wheelchairs don’t pack alot of stuff.” Although Gairns may not have the first-hand experience of disabled people, he points out the City of Castlegar has made several changes to make the city accessible. The Abilities Awareness Advisory Committee and Castlegar city council worked together in releasing an accessibility guide that highlights the many areas in the city that are fully or partially accessible. “Our (Castlegar’s) access is better than some communities," Gairns said. He said that renovations have been considered for ¢ity hall to make th¢ council chamber accessible by in- stalling achairlift “Those stairs are difficult physically even to a person with a cane.

The Chinese military used machine guns and tanks during the weekend to end-ademonstration that began severat weeks ago in the city’s central square when students took to the streets to demand democracy.
