PHONE 365-5013 3400 - 4th Avenue Castlegar MLAs dornaned tighter contr By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Wi friter Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy and Social Credit Credit Party is opposed to the Social Credit government policy in that regard,” he said. Hewitt told the legislature he would like to see tougher MLA Jim Hewitt have found strang bedfell recently over the issue of railway abandonment in B.C. Both D'Arcy and Hewitt, who represents Boundary- want tighter g controls over CP Rail’s move to abandon several thousand kilometres of railway lines the branch line between Castlegar and Midwa: Presently, the CP Rail link between Midway and Castlegar allows logs and woodchips to be transported to the Celgar pulp mill and Westar Timber’s Southern Wood Products sawmill. “We on this side of the House are very pleased to hear the first member for Boundary-Similkameen opposing his own government policy on railway abandonment,” D'Arcy said in the legislature last month. D'Arcy described how Ottawa is presenting bills which would make it easier for railway companies to “simply walk away” from rail lines and he claims the Social Credit government is in favor of the proposals. “I am glad to see that at least one member of the Social onrailway pany prop to abandon a line. “The thrust of my statement is simply this: the government of British Columbia must adopt a policy to monitor and comment on-any application before the CTC (Canadian Transport Commission) to ensure that the abandonment of any line in B.C., whether it is in the southern interior or anywhere else, is justified, not contrived,” said Hewitt. D'Arcy, on the other hand, suggested that the CPR deliberately turned well used lines into money losing branches. “In 1960 they (the CPR) made a deliberate decision to no longer make shipments from the West Kootenay and Boundary — whether it was forest products of mining products — directly to or from Vancouver . »” he said. D'Arcy described how the railway diverted traffic east through Cranbrook and Golden and then over the Rogers Pass and then back to the coast. “That allowed them to say that there is no traffic on the Kettle Valley, because after all, there Wasn't,” said D'Arcy. cvasked,” CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA, WEDNESDAY, JULY 15, 1967 3 Sections (A, B&C) “The CPR’s action over the last 30 years has been to deliberately set the stage for abandonment of all of their rail lines in the southern interior of British Columbia.” Hewitt is also suspicious of CPR’s claims of unwieldy financial burdens from certain rail lines. “No one can argue with the abandonment of unecon- omical lines, but there are two questions that need to be said Hewitt. “First, are the branch -lines uneconomical, ordo the railway companies make them that way? Secondly, what happens to the railway right-of-way when the line is abandoned?” Hewitt points out that in the past decade, two railway subdivisions in southern B.C. have been abandoned, the Okanagan Falls-Osoyoos subdivision, a rail line from Penticton to Osoyoos; and the Carmi subdivision, a rai) line from Penticton to Midway. “Today, the next step is being put into motion,” he said. “The application for an abandonment of the Castlegar-to- Midway subdivision, known as the Boundary subdivision.” Hewitt quoted from a letter from Midway mayor Jim McMynn which described how CPR has apparently dumped continued on page A2 semauaeal JIM HEWITT ‘ . inagreement with MLA Chris D'Arcy |SeIKE 80W CPR scraps plan By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer Canadian Pacific Rail has agreed to scrap plans to spray a pesticide along its tracks in the Slocan Valley after a Ministry of Environment official recommended they do so. CP Rail has been issued four pesticide spraying permits by the Ministry of Environment to spray the herbicide Spike 80W along its tracks in the Kootenays. The pesticide is used for killing weeds along side rail tracks. One of the permits is for the tracks in the Nelson Castlegar area, two more are for the tracks in the Creston area and the fourth one was for tracks in the Slocan- Valley.- a After a 15-hour on site inspectign of the tracks in the Slocan Valley and the Nelson-Castlegar area, Stuart Craig, regional manager of the ‘Pesticide Control Program for the southern Interior and Kootenay regions, recommended the permit for the Slocan Valley be cancelled because most of the area to be sprayed was to close to water bodies and wells. Craig made that recommendation in a report last week to Ron Kobylnyk, administrator for the provincial Pesti cide Control Act. Don Bower, manager of public affairs for CP Rail confirmed on Tuesday that CP Rail has agreed to abandon its plans to spray in the Slocan Valley. “He (Craig) placed additional restraints on the permit. His recommendation as I understand it is that it (permit) be cancelled. It’s increased regulation. Our position is because of the increased restrictions, it wouldn't make sense for us to spray there,” Bower told the Castlegar News from his Vancouver office As for the second permit which covers the Nelson-Castlegar area, Craig is recommending that spraying be allowed to continue with certain conditions. They are that: © no spraying be undertaken without the direct supervision of a representative of the Ministry of Environment; the rail speed of the spray apparatus not exceed 16 kilometres an hour during the spraying; e spraying shall only be undertaken during daylight hours; e the spray apparatus shall be equipped with a shroud over the*boom to minimize drift. The Regional District of Central Kootenay, who has declared itself a pesticide free zone, is, appealing the remaining three permits issued to CP Rail The appeal was to be heard in Castlegar on July 22 but Bower said it is his “understanding that the hearings for that permit (Nelson-Castlegar) is on the 27th.” Wayne Peppard, a representative from the citizens groups opposed to any pesticide spraying, said it was his understanding that the appeal was to be heard on July 27 but pow understands that it may be moved ahead to July 22, a move he is opposed to. After attending a meeting in the Slocan Valley last night to discuss the appeals and the planned pesticide spraying, Peppard said a public demonstration will be held on the day of the appeal. He added that there is concern that there does not appear to be any firm date on when the appeals will be held. “We're preparing a public demonstration on the date of the hearings. We'll be supporting the two appeals,” said Peppard.

Work has begun on Shaw Cable's new Castlegar facility. The total cost of the new facility is expected to be between $100,000 and $175,000. The building will house a fully equipped, color production studio. Story below. CosNewsPhoto by Ron Norman Construction begins on state of the art studio By CasNews Staff Construction on Shaw Cablevision's new Castlegar facility began last week and once all the work is done Shaw will have a bigger building and a state of the art studio. Ever since Shaw moved its base from Trail to Castlegar, employees have been working out of a trailer situated next to the Montel Carlo Motor Inn. Lynn Greentree, manager of Shaw Cable's Castlegar, Trail and Nelson operations, said he expects the new facility to be ready by the fall. He added that the total cost of the new facility is pegged at between $100,000 and $175,000. “The studio and part of the building would be in excess of $100,000. It could even be more than that and probably will be. I think we're looking at $100,000 in equipment alone,” Greentree told the Castlegar News today. He added that the studio will be fully equipped and will be a color production studio. As for the kinds of productions that will be coming out of the new studio, Greentree said that is up to the community. “The whole facility is geared to the community channel. “We'll provide the equipment and we have a couple of production people but it’s up to the community to decide what kinds of programs they want to produce,” said Greentree. He added that although Shaw has no plans to produce commercials for television, local businesses are allowed to sponsor community programs being produced out of the facility. Greentree said that no additional staff will be hired when the studio is completed Local 9705 hires consultant By CasNews Staff Monty Alton, formér Steelworker staff member, has been hired by striking office and technical workers to act as a consultant in future nego- tiations. Alton, the former assistant to the director of the United Steelworkers of America district three (which includes the western provinces, the Yukon and the Northwest Territories) has nego- tiated five major contracts and now works as a private labor consultant. “He's no new kid on the block,” said Jim Saare, president of Steelworkers Local 9705. “He's been around and he knows all the personalities involved in tracts. worker here,” luded us.” office and techni: these negotiations.” Alton last negotiated a contract in 1981 which has changed little in both the 1983 and 1985 con- “We're not looking for a miracle said Saare. “We wanted someone to come in with a lot of experience who could offer fresh views towards the problems we have and offer fresh solutions that may have al Alton, who met last weekend with mittees in Cranbrook for briefing on the negotiations, is already back in Vancouver where he will remain on call. But Saare emphasizes that Alton will act only as consultant and not as a member of the bargaining unit or as a mediator, even though he will be present during bargaining. “His is a non-participatory role,” he said. “We have every confidence in our negotiators.” Cominco said. “Anyone who can shed some posi- tive ideas to bring an end to this strike, 1 bargaining com in his ability. “We're exploring all avenues,” he we're willing to experiment with that.” Saare said he and “all the members” respect Alton's skill and are confident Cominco offers bonus By CasNews Staff Nine cost of living payments and an unusual $250 signing bonus are just part of the recent tentative agreement between Cominco and striking produc tion and maintenance workers. According to kers Local 480 president Bob Schmidt, the contract offers two 14 cent per hour COLA pay. ments in the first year of the 38-month agreement, three in the second and four in the third. The increases amount toa total of $1.25 per hour over the iife of the agreement bringing a journey- men employee to about $17.03 per hour Despite a previous rejection of a tentative agreement last May by only 55 per cent of the membership, Schmidt said today he is optimistic the offer will be accepted “['m confident it will go through,” he said. “I think the news will be posi- tive.” In the past, Cominco agreements were generally only two years long but Schmidt said Cominco was adamant about a three year contract. “Cominco was pretty hard on that,” said Schmidt. “They wanted to get the lead modernization completed and the new smelter running during the life of the agreement.” Schmidt also said the signing bonus was something new in a Cominco con tract but he emphasized that it was not bug unusual in many collective agreements. The package also provides severance pay for Kimberley workers. The com. pany has agreed to severance pay of two weeks plus $1,000 during the life of the agreement, and calls for a joint committee to work out a long-term strategy. The package was explained to the Trail that is how: members at a mass meeting Monday morning and votipg on the agreement, which began Tuesday, will continue on until Friday. Schmidt said immediately after the votes are tallied, and if the outcome is then all of striking production and maintenance pickets will be pulled. insid But that still leaves approximately 550 office and technical employees without a contract. Cominco will remain shut down until a settlement is reached with that group. The prope-ed deal, which would run until June 3%, 1990, also eases language governing trade demarcations and eliminates 15-minute shower periods. the 2,700 IN THE SWIM: Robson River Ot- ters came up with an impressive showing over the weekend.
