The instructors voted 60 per cent in favor of the move, during # general meeting Tuesday, Fifty-one of the Selkirk College Faculty Assocaition’s 120 members attended the meeting; the vote was 29 in favor, 18 opposed, and four absten- tions, SCFA president Gerry Ehman told a press confer- ence afterwards.

He estimated that 90 per cent of the instructors have been crossing the lines. : Ehman also said that if the dispute drags on and the SCFA feels the education process is being compro- mised, the decision to con- tinue instructing will have to be reassessed.

Wishlow City wants it now be Courthouse project been put on hold By WARREN EGGLESTON, Staff Reporter A rift is developing be- tween the. city of legar and the B.C. Buildings Corp. over the new courthouse to be built here, with the’ city de- manding that the project go ahead, and the BCBC saying it should be postponed. The city is telegraphing a message to the province's attorney-general, that the construction contract be awar- ded to the company which submitted the lowest of four bids on the project, although all the bids were much higher than the BCBC had budgeted | for. The city council approved the action’ durings ‘its mect- ‘ing Tuesday night. Ald. Carl Loeblich,'who suggested the action, also warned that the city’s comm- “ittment to lease the Kinnaird Hall as a temporary court facility lasts only to 1982. However, a BCBC spokes- man told the Castlegar News earlier in the day that the» corporation has put the court- house project on hold, to be retendered at a later date: It wil probably be six months before the courthouse call-for news tenders, said Maurice Cownden. § He said the corporation blames the large amount, of construction work being.done for the excessive bids’ that were submitted, and added that hopefully in six months time the, industry will have slowed down’ and companies will be looking for work. Four tenders ranging from $618,000 to $631,000 were submitted for the project, but the BCBC has estimated the cost would run about $4S0,- ‘During the council meeting Tuesday night, Loeblich des- cribed the council, members as ‘dismayed’ that the pro- ject would be retendered, and he added it was ‘‘a backward step.” Retendering will only add to the final cost, he predicted. BCBG: feels If did a: good sob he. said. for Murphy Dam input A proposal to build two new apartment buildings on Woodland Dr. appears to have been accepted by local residents. There was no opposition ,; expressed during a public ™ mM hearing Tuesday, and a re- GERRY EHMAN . . SCFA members continue teaching. Celgar negotiations zoning bylaw to accomodate the project received third reading from the city council later'in the evening. A 48-unit apartment build- ing being built by the same Woodland Drive city’s industrial pack ‘was also" scheduled, with no biden being expressed, and the bylaw was. also given third reading later in the meeting. Jim Shockey, pro; erties; told thé hearing Tues- day that his company’s plans call for a 42-unit building, with construction to start by the end of the year, and another 48-unit building, to be built when the gemand for on an property has already re- ceived city app and “They will be three bere construction will start in about two weeks. A public hearing on a rezoning for the are still in recess Negotiations for a new contract at Celgar are still in recess, while the union bar- gaining committee reviews its position. of the latest contract offer. The talks were recessed | Sept. 2 after three days of meetings in Kelowna be- tween the International Woodworkers of America and the Interior Forest Labor Relations Association (IFLRA), the bargaining agent for B.C.. Timer. John Pollock, spokesman for the IWA committee, said - Tuesday he expects the union will have finished its assess- _ ment of the offer by the end of the week. The IFLRA is waiting for heunion to ask for another Gp ‘n Accessori © Lighting © Bath Accessories 368-5302 102 Waneta Plaza, Trail 365-7359 thorns meeting, Al Blessin, indus- trial relations manager at the Celgar sawmill, told the Castlegar News Tuesday. The union committee had asked for the recess, and it is up to the union to ask for thenegotiations to resume, he continued. Meanwhile, the Labor Relations Board has told the union it must be informed ahead of time if there is any more picketing of the Celgar operations and the IWA has agreed to do so. The ‘agreement was rached Friday, after IWA members at Celgar met with their union officials about a walkout that had halted maintenance work at the Celgar pulp and sawmill. The job action had not been sanctioned by the union. The LRB confirmed the terms of the agreement Tuesday. Pollock also confirmed an agreement had been reached after the IFLRA had applied for a cease and desist order to remove the pickets. Lake is being treated Because of treatment to irradiate eurasian water mil- foil in Champion Lakes Park,: swimming, fishing, canoeing and other uses of the third lake will be prohibited from \ this Friday until Sept. 18. The park itself will remain open with regular camping and hiking facilities available. This was announced today d, and the ph taact construction cost is $1.6 million each, he added. - Shockey said Harwyn wants to sell the units as condominiums. B He also said ‘the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. has. stated Castlegar has a current shortfall of 176 ‘apartment units, and that figuré does not consider the impact should the Murphy Cres Tram be. approded. ie the-demand is as great as CMHC ‘ estimates, ‘Harwyn Propérties would. probably have its third building com- pleted by the end of 1982, he said. * ‘Two concerns were raised by, local and both, *, as part of the Murphy Creek: ” 2.) Diam, Shockey also. said” the developer is prepared to install a‘ fence or a hedge around the apartment prop- ‘erties. Oglow also took the oppor- tunity to complain about “what he ‘considered sity inits were addressed by/Schockey. ‘Paul _Oglow, representing people owning land adjacent to the site, said they wanted an assurance that the devel- oper intends to finish the land between their proper- , ties and the apartments. Another: land owner wrote, saying he was:concerned that people living in the apart- ments would trespass on his land if a fence was not built between the two lots. “Shockey answered that the land wold be brought back to’ its former state, which satis-" fied “Oglow, who said’ the developer has lived up to its past commitments. a Could change enforce a bylaw that Bn “require clean up ofa lot along the city’s new water line. ., Mayor. Audrey Moore said the land is-connected to a case before the courts involv- ing the city of Castlegar and DiC. Festering, one of the contractors involved in con- ‘struction of the new: water system, and the city cannot act. ‘ Oglow said he. has approached: the city and several aldermen, but Ald. Embree, chairman of the city's works and. services committee, said he has never received an official com- plaint. : Two mills are running Two of the three sawmills in this region now are’ pro- ducing lumber, but the com- pany spokesmen warn that could change with little no- tice. Kalesnikoffs Lumber in thrums has a full crew working, and Slocan Forest Products resumed produc- tion Tuesday on a curtailed basis. The Celgar sawmill will be shut down for maintenance until the end ‘of next week. Peter Kalesnikoff, of Kal- esnikoffs Lumber, and Ide Barber, president of Slocan Forést Products, said in interviews Tuesday it is impossible to say if they can maintain their levels of pro- duction. There have been no layoffs at Kalesnikoff's yet, but that could change, Kalesnikoff said. His mill is a small oper- ation which depends on local sales and a lot of specialized cutting that larger mills refuse to handle, he ex- plained. > He said if things continue at the same pace as they have been, the mill can stay open. ince’s mills begin production, or.if there will be afurther collapse of prices. Should either happen, the company will have to reassess its position, he said. ‘is denana that - B.C. ans grant it the same. status as” tyhe provincial government has where:any studies done the city’s engineer, reported to the council about a meet- ing he had late in August © with Bill) Mykes,. -Hydro's ‘community’ relations officer.

Gouk, ‘who had met’ with * Mykes earlier in the day, said ; he was told there will be more ‘studies done on the d level the gov- ernment ministers involved with Hydro during the Union B.C. 5 before they are released to the municipality. Mayor Audrey Moore rec- d the council react con- vention later this month. The ‘council also’ the city staff to ask Hydro's project tor for. a meeting, to discuss nossible quidelines for dealing with pre-project impacts on the city. Meanwhile, a recom- mended pond level for the’ Murphy Dam has been sent to B.C. Hydro’s management, and it should be released shortly. “The city council's moves came after Igor to both items. On the pre- project impacts, she said B.C. Hydro is a huge developer sitting on the city’s doorstep but refusing to make up its d. She also said the city. has ‘been arguing for more than 1% years that it should’ be - considered a government agency and should receive abies of any- studies dealing with the area before they: are finalized.

Cohee-predizated the city will be told the studies will be available. when a decision is made to build the dam, and “that is good enough”. The information is needed . now for the city planning, he added.

Barber called the start-up “a probing exercise,” while the company sees if the market -ean absorb all the lumber as most of the prov- now,” with lumber prices at the same level as in 1975 and 1976. BC Timber expects decide later this week what will do after the maintenance work at the sawmill is fin- ished. : Warning issued about Scout fundraisers A warning has been issued about two youngsters who say they are soliciting funds for the Boy Scouts. Although the two are dressed in Scout and Cub uniforms, they are net colle¢- ting money for the groups, said Ald. Albert Calderbank during the council meeting Tuesday. He said Boy Scout regul- ations prohibit that type of fund raising, and the pair do not represent local Scouts. istry told the Cas- tlegar News Tuesday. The chamber announced last week it has appealed directly to Premier Bill Benn- ett to use his influence to push for construction of the highway, which would run along the eastern shore of the Lower Arrow Lake. . However, Dave Sheppard, the highways ‘ministry's pub- lic information officer, said the government's position is unchanged from what it has been in the past. Tourism Minister Pat -Jor- dan wrote to the chamber early in May, saying highway construction costs are about $1 million a mile, and the Castlegar-Fauquier road would cost more than $23 million, Sheppard said. He quoted a letter ftom Highways Minister Alex Fra- ser to the chamber, written in June, 1980,’ saying the pro- posal is feasible but it cannot be given a high priority because of other, more press- ing needs in the province. Should the road be built, it would be by BC In addition, the com recognizes that the highway would open up a very attrac- tive area for tourists and area residents, and Celgar’s em- ployees would benefit; Dallas - continued. McDonald said his minis- try’s concern would be the highway’ 's impact on the Deer Timber, which leases part of the area the route would cui through, but it would be opposed by the ministry of environment. BC Timber would generally not object to any local plants to build a road along the lake and through its tree farm license (TFL 23)., said Gra- ham Dallas, a company spo- kesman, on tuesday. The ministry of environ- ment’s regional office would be ‘“‘extremely concerned’’ about any upgrading of roads along the southeastern side of Arrow Lake because of the impact on the area’s carrying capacity for wildlife, Dennis MCdonald, the ministry's re-. gional manager, told the Cas- tlegar News Tuesday. Dallas said Celgar's log- ging operations would not be affected by the highway. area, which is one of only two surviving winter ranges for deer in the West Kootenay, and the last range in the Arrow basin. . The provincial _govern- ment’s Kootenay Regional Resource Management Com- mittee has: long advocated that any highway be routed west of the Lower Arrow , Lake, he added. - George Evin, chairman of the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce committee which deals with the highway, met Aug. 31 with Bennett about the road.
