Carpenter resigned last month as one of three Crown counsels in the West Kootenay. “As far as I'm concerned, they're SUMMER'S OVER & Backfill BOJEY ELECTRIC LTD.

S: However, Carpenter said he couldn’ t think of a particular case that’ was mishandled because of a lack of staff. “Basically what it is is being embarrassed as a lawyer because of their opinion or policy about a certain thing. It’s a difference of opinion between lawyers about how.to do a job. It's a disagreement over philosophy or policy.” Sept. 1, Nelson lawyer Bill Heflin becerie the only prosecutor for the Nelson, rand Forks and Nakusp courts. . The third Crown counsel for the West Kootenay, Rossland lawyer Bar- ry Johnson, did not have his contract renewed, Carpenter said. Johnson could not be reached for comment, but Heflin last week con- firmed that Johnson's contract was not renewed, adding that it was “not related to performance.” Heflin, who is under contract to the government until April 1, 1986, said the attorney-general's office is cutting back on staff but did not want to comment further. Crossing guards at Kinnaird Elementary school are.a sure sign that fall is on the way as they prepare to stop traffic , Heflin did say it “physically impossible” for him to handle all’ cases and added “my reaction to the situation is I'm tired.” Bob Hunter, regional Crown counsel in Kamloops, said today the attorney- general's department is cutting back on staff because of the lower crime rate in the province. When asked specifitally about the situation in the West Kootenay, Hunter became angry y and referred all questions to the district Crown coun- sel, Richard Cairns of Cranbrook.

(CP) — Premier Bill Bennett skirted questions Tuesday about a possible British Columbia election in the coming year and then flew off in a helicopter-to open an airstrip that's not yet completed. “My colleagues may want to talk about it (an election), but I don’t intend to,” said Bennett, who has his Social Credit caucus at this mountain resort north of Vancouver for meetings this week. The premier said there are 980 days left-in his government's mandate and there is still a.lot to be done. “I haven't even posed the question in my own mind and why would I? There's so many things left to do,” he said standing on the airstrip in Pemberton. Bennett, Highways Minister Alex Fraser, John Reynolds, the area's __member of the legislature, three aides and about $3 million in federal funds over the past five years have been pro- vided to help pay for runway, which is * expected to be completed within two weeks. MORE IMPROVEMENTS By spring, a microwave tower and landing equipment will be in place so private jets and Air BC's Dash 7 will be able to. make instrument landings, making it easier for vacationers to get to Whistler, which is operated by a provincial Crown corporation. It is the second time in two weeks Bennett and his cabinet have met outside Victoria and Vancouver. Last week, they met in Revelstoke for a day. The next day, Bennett dedicated a $2-billion hydroelectric dam that has been operating since .January and announced his govern- ment is committed to building more and a helicopter load of reporters,and photographers took a quick trip to Pemberton where Bennett-drove a grader along the 915-metre runway snd mal briefly with Mayor Shirley ‘Nearly $2 million in provincial grants ydroelectric plants to sell electricity to California.

He said a 26-member highways crew will sealcoat another 27 kilometres east of Castlegar, from the interchange to the Castlegar-Salmo summit. Oliver said half of the Castlegar- ° Salmo portion has been completed and to take another two weeks depending on the weather. he expects the remainder The crew began the sealcoating project at the end of July and was supposed: to only do the Castlegar- Paulsen Bridge section. * However, more funding was made available late in the summer to do the Castlegar-Salmo portion.

In addition, there are 195 students __‘who_have applied _to programs who haven't yet registered. As well, there are 192 more students on a waiting list. ‘The 1,230 figure includes 950 full- time at the campus, jobs feel “they might as well get training in another area or upgrade their skills or just pass the time in school,” he said. “It’s an investment in the future.” Lintz noted that, with the exception of a few ‘vacancies in the Graphic + Design Program, most career tech- nology programs are filled. Courses like Photography, Wildland Recreation, Long Term Care Aide, Forestry and even Electronic Publish- ‘ing — a new program this year — are full. oa The Electronics program is also full with a waiting list, as is the Early Chil and C 220 at Rosemont and 92 at Trail. Lintz said enrolment last year was 1,050, after the sollege had settled into its “routine”. “It's definitely up,” he said. Lintz said most of the positions in the programs were filled by pre-registra- tion week in August. And most of the University Transfer courses are booked to capacity. In courses like English, Psychology and Math, virtually every seat is taken. “We don't seem to be in a situation where we have to go looking for students,” he said. He attributed that to the slow job market.
