And, if they are interested, they'll hear from an expert about the vineyard where the wine is produced. “We'll have knowledgeable personnel in the store who will also be offering cus- tomers a taste,” sai MeWatters of the Okanagan Valley Estate Winery Asso) ciation, a group of five Okan. agan wineries that will sell estate wines in the non- government specialty shop. The shop will offer a range of 50 estate wines ranging in price from five to 14 dollars a bottle. “One of the reasons we really pushed to get the Vic toria store is estate wines are quickly gaining acceptance in B.C. and ‘we were very res- tricted in gaining access to B.C. consumers and tour ists,” said McWatters.

Fairbank is a federal election veteran. “This is my fifth,” she said in an interview in her Nelson headquartets on 610 Front St. “I was appointed for the 1972 election.” Being a returning officer for Kootenay West means being in charge of the election process, including hiring enumerators and polling officers, being in charge of election boundaries and polling divisions, making sure voters are on the electoral list, and finally, on election day receiving the ballot counts from the 156 polling @ivisions in the grea. The job will reach its peak on Sept. 4. whet Fairbank and her assistant.tally up the votes for Kootenay West at her office, which ig traditionally packed with local radio and newspaper reporters. “Oh yes, it'suulee,” she said. “I enjoy it.” vote count is wad6, because they keep Mm touch with the deputy returtiing officers at the polis. “Ran Harding (s former NDP MP for Kootenay West — the predecess@r of the present NDP MP, Lyte Kristiansen) once came in Wiete, anid he figured he knew the whole election before us,” remembered Fairbank. She said in the last federal election in 1980, dut of 40,071 eligible voters in the West Kootenay, 28,518 actually cast their ballots — about a 71 per cent turnout. “| think they're all quite politically aware around here. she said The vote breakdown for the 1980 election was: 12,232 for Kristiansen, 11,485 for Progressive Conservative can didate Bob Brisco, and 4,778 for Liberal candidate Peter Kendall In Castlegar, Kristiansen came out ahead with 1,316 votes, Briseo had 1,234, and Kendall got 371. One-hundred of all ballotg east were rejected, said Fairbank. Unlike a spoiled ballot, which has been “mussed up” and is exchanged for a fresh ballot, east, and counted: a rejected ballot has beer? pushed iriside the ballot box, and can’t be exchanged for a new one. Fairbank said Prime Minister's Monday announcement of the Sept. 4 eleetion allowed her an unaccustomed few extra days grace to make arrangements before the tight 50-day schedule before the election, which comes into effect today. She said usually feders! elections are announced on the Friday befere the schedule comes into effect. “We've got the extra four days to kind of get things in order.” said Faitbank, who explained that although verbal arrangements can be made beforehand, writfen contracts continued on page A2 “COMPLAINTS UPHELD B.C. labor laws criticized by ILO UNITED NATIONS (CP) The International Labor Organization has criticized some of the British Columbia government's restrictive labor laws, saying they have weakened the process of free collective bargaining in the pro- vince. In Geneva, the ILO’s committee on freedom of association upheld Canadian labor's complaints about three bills the B.C. legislature approved last fall that brought sweeping changes to the trade usionism of teachers and other public servants. The labor side was heard last year The government's reply came last April 17. ‘The findings are complicated and embedded in international labor treat ies, most of which the Canadian gov ernment has never ratified. A text of the decision was made available by the ILO’s liaison office in New York. ‘The ILO, which has 3,000 employees worldwide, is a specialized agency of By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer Customers of West Kootenay Power and Light Co. will get a break on their bills beginning in August. The B.C. Utilities Commission has granted West Kootenay Power a rate increase of 3.7 per cent and ordered the company to refund to eustomers the balance of a 7.3 per cent interim increase in effect sinee Jan. 1, 1984 In a prepared release, the company says it is now studying the impact of the reduced revenues. In a preliminary statement Thurs day, president Joe Drennan expressed deep concern about the company's ability to achieve a fair rate of return in 1984 “We are faced with rising operating and new construction costs immedi. ately to meet certain aspects of the decision,” he said. “This will be particularly difficult considering our restraint position over the past two or three years.” eliminate its long-standing practicé of deferring income taxes. 5 The combined effect will result in an 8.5 per cent reduction in customer bills effective Aug. 1 for the balanee of the year Utilities commission secretary A.C. Michelson said in an interview there were many reasons for the commission turning down West Kootenay Power's request for the 7.3 per cent imerease: Michelson said that the unemploy- ment situation in the Kootenayg was discussed, but was not one. of the underlying reasons in reducing the rate increase. In addition, the company’s prattice of deferring income taxes had ledge, this is the first the commission has ordered . ore ae inerease to its customers. “We have had other occasions with other utilities, but there haven't been many,” he said. “It's not something that happens every day “I think they've (West Kootemny: Power) got a very serious job and to do the best job they can,” he dicate 2 7.3 per cent increase was ap the United Nations, based in Geneva but with offices all over the world. Its governing body is made up of representatives of government, unions and employers and invariably approves committee findings. However, they are not legally binding. OPPOSE CURBS In rebuking the B.C. legislature's curbs on collective bargaining, the ILO said: “Publie authorities should not, as a rule, intervene in order to modify the contents of collective agreements which have been freely concluded. The exercise of financial powers in a man near that prevents compliance with col- lective agreements entered into by public bodies is not consistent with the principle of free collective bargaining.” The World Confederation of Organ- izations of the Teaching Profession and the Canadian Labor Congress com plained to the ILO last fall. The ILO's latest findings covering Bills 3, 11 and 26 are dated last month. Last Novem. ber, the ILO criticized B.C. legislation that rolled back collective agreements reached by teachers in 1982-83. In their complaint, the teachers said Bill 3, or the Public Sector Restraint Act, gave the government power to dismiss employees for economic rea. sons with no appeal, and fix salaries of certain senior workers. The government told the ILO that Bill 3 had been amended to allow more fairness of treatment of employees in- cluding the right to appeal. The ILO committee found it had no jurisdiction to study dismissal for reas- ‘ong of economy PROBLEMS CONTINUE Expo meetings sought VANCOUVER (CP) — The threat of escalating labor problems at the Expo 86 construction site has prompted. Vancouver Mayor Mike Hareourt and Senator Ray Perrault to lead separate initiatives to get the parties talking in. Perrault called Friday for an econ- omic summit to deal with Expo that would involve labor, management and politicians, while Harcourt said he will meet with the Expo board of directors and labor representatives over the weekend in an effort to get the world’s fair back on track. Harcourt said Friday, “There is no doubt that it (Expo) will go on, but it could bleed to death. It could be a spiritually and economically uplifting event like Expo 67, or it could be an embarrassment and a drain on us all like the New Orleans fair. I am be- ginning to think it could be the latter.” An international boycott of Expo being contemplated by the British Col umbia and Yukon Building Trades Couneil prompted Perrault to suggest a summit, whieh would deal with B.C.'s ,ailing eepnomy.in_general and Expo in “It's decrious situation we are facing when one group begins talking about a boycott,” Perrault said. “We have enough problems marketing B.C.'s re- sources and we have enough enemies abroad. We don’t need British Colum. bia’s reputation tarnished.” IS ILLOGICAL’ Larry Fisher, a spokesman for non union contractors, said the boycott is illogical and it would not gain support from either the public or union trades- men working on the site. Building trades council president Roy Gautier announced the proposed boycott Thursday, after the fair's board of directors scuttled a tentative peace agreement between the unions and Pattison. The trades council is also calling on the federal government and the city of Vaneouver to withdraw from Expo.
