The approval, under the federal Challenge °85 job creation program, means 148 jobs for West Kootenay students — at least 15 of which are in Castlegar. In the federal Challenge '85 program, the government pays up to $2.50 per hour for student jobs, while employers either equal or surpass this hourly rate. The approved jobs are classified as “career related” — students are working on internships that relate to their career goals. Another nine “work related” applications (not necessar- ily related to career choices) have been approved, bringing the total number of jobs funded by the program to 157, said Brisco in a prepared release. “There are two other applications I am aware of which will soon receive mini: Pp! |," added the Koot West MP. “If these applications were added to today's figures, the total funding of the Challenge '85 program in Kootenay West would be over $350,000. In terms of jobs, it means 170 students will receive work this summer. Brisco said private sector contributions to the program from the Kootenay West total more than $15,000, while municipal and regional governments contributed another $25,000. The federal Challenge ‘85 program, announced in January, has two objectives: to give students summer jobs which will provide a learning experience, and to involve the private sector to a greater degree in the government's summer job program, according to the release. Said Briseo, “The last three summers have been particularly discouraging for students because so few jobs were available. This summer is likely to be tough as well, but at least this summer the unemployment rate is going down, not up.” MacBain named club chairman A Castlegar Kiwanian has been appointed International Relations chairman for the service club's Pacific North- west District. Bob MacBain said Kiwanis International district gover- nor John Chelson appointed him International relations chairman at the club's recent district convention in Eug- ene, 7 “My job will be to inspire goodwill . . . between the Canadian and American clubs,” said MacBain. “I'm quite thrilled about this,” he said, adding that it will perhaps involve “part- nering” clubs in Canada with clubs in the U.S. BOB MacBAIN . +» ‘thrilled’ you GIGANTIC CLEARANCE Verigin Industries Leaving the . win?

Trail was built with help of Canada Works grant by crew (bottom) who also worked on nearby forestry land spacing and thinning trees CosNews Photo New By CasNews Staff The Castlegar area has a new hiking tr: Deer Creek Trail winds one kil. ometre through dense for- est, emerging at the bot tom of Deer Creek Falls. The falls are, in fact, two spectacular small falls, which measure about 30 metres. The falls were virtually unknown by local resi dents, but now Forest Ministry officials are hoping the trail will make the falls a popular spot for hiking and picnicking. trail opens up falls Work on the trail — located on Deer Creek Road which runs off Deer Park Road about 13 kil ometres from Syringa Creek Provincial Park began about a month ago. A crew of 12 completed the trail under a Canada Works grant in conjunction with the Castlegar and Area United Society for Employment (CAUSE), the Ministry of Forests and Kalesnikoff Lumber Co. Ltd. of Thrums. The metre-wide trail winds past a variety of trees including huge white pines and a Douglas Fir estimated to be more than 200 years old. There is a bench about one-third of the way down for those who need a brief respite, and a picnic table at the bottom beside the creek and falls. The Forests Ministry will manage the trail, which is part of a forest reserve surrounding Deer Creek. The ministry plans to have a sign at the head of the trail shortly. HOW TO GET THERE: Take Deer Park Road (which begins at Syringa Creek Provincial Park) and drive 13 kilometres — the distance is easy to keep track of because it is posted on signs. Turn right at the first road just past the 13-kilometre sign. You are now on Deer Creek Road. Continue up this road three kilometres (past a gate which must be secured). At about the three-kilometre mark there should be a sign on the left pointing the way to the head of the trait Sn Retail fs Business Clear- Out Sale!! EVERYTHING MUST BE SOLD!

Castlegar Phone 365-5154 7 07 Airport cart fees considered TORONTO (CP) — The federal government plans to reintroduce fees for baggage carts at large airports across Canada. Starting in September, passengers will have to pay $1 for a baggage cart at Pearson International Air. port in Toronto and will get 50 cents back when the cart is returned. Last year, Transport Can ada bowed to public pres sure and cancelled a 50-cent fee that saw 25 cents re funded to travellers when carts were returned. There were complaints at the time that foreign pass. engers arriving in Canada without Canadian currency were unable to obtain ba ggage carts. In response, Transport Canada has decided to install currency-changing facilities within customs areas of ma. jor airports. When that is complete, the federal gov. ernment will charge for bag: gage carts in international arrival lounges of major air ports. Domestic passengers will face the charges sooner. Implementation of the plan at various airports also de- pends on the expiry of con tracts with companies cur- rently paid to retrieve carts from terminal buildings and parking lots and return them to arrival and departure lounges. Douglas Gerrie, a Trans port Canada official, said he expects the charge to be in effect across the country by the end of 1985. He could not estimate how much money will be raised by the charges.

Joe Irving, co-ordinator of the Castlegar Un- employed Action Centre which organized the event, said one of the conference's chief values was it opened par- ticipants’ eyes to the fact that there are solutions to unemployment. Conference organizers in the next few weeks will be examining reports from workshop groups looking at the issue of unemployment, and offering “a whole raft of” possible solutions. These groups represented mining and smelting, agriculture and food production, education and government services, forestry and silviculture, and the Columbia River Treaty, dams and construction, Irving said. The groups made plans which included: Mining — expressed an interest in forming a coalition “to fight back for jobs in this area;” Agriculture — plan to meet for “sort of an on-site look at things and maybe bring the abstractions of the workshop discussions down to the land;” — plan to meet again in September with the intention to “organize some practical work;” Construction — will organize an ongoing series of meetings and discussions through the Castlegar Unem ployed Action Centre. Irving said the Centre will meet in two weeks to assess the conference, examine the results of the workshop groups and “determine our next steps.” The conference was also hosted by the Nelson-Trail and District Labor Council, the B.C. Federation of Labor and the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council. many partici dis d a desire for “decentraliz- ation” of the provincial government and business sector. “i've seen, during my travels around the province, this as a pretty common demand. You can go to the Northwest, you can go to the Northeast, you can go to the Okanagan, you can go to the East or West Kootenay. And people are saying we want some control over our lives — we want some control over our surroundings.” Rice said technology changes in the business sector allow “corporate managers in New York or Boston or wherever they happen to be located” with no knowledge of a community “to make a decision that affects the lives Unifying air defence discussed OTTAWA (CP) — Cana- Canada of unifying two U.S. eer ee og air defence struc- tures, but not the possibility of linking North American nuclear offensive and defen- sive systems, an External Affairs Department spokes- man said today. Sean Brady, asked earlier in the day if there had been discussions “on a combined defensive and offensive strategy for North America,” told reporters: “Yes, there have been dis- cussions in the context of the Permanent Joint Board of Defence and embassy to for- eign ministry, but that’s all I would like to say right now.” Brady called The Canadian Press later to insist the talks at the military and diplomatic level only involve U.S. plans to consolidate the U.S. Air Defence Command and the U.S. Air Force Space Com- mand, which share a com- mand centre with the North American Aerospace De- fence Command and the U.S. Air Foree Space Command, which share a command centre with the North Amer- ican Aerospace Defence Com- mand at Cheyenne Mountain, Col.

We are the working people. We are going to survive, and we are going to struggle,” he said. “We must learn that the greatest weapon in that struggle is unity.” Also attending the conference was Mayor Audrey Moore, former Trail mayor Buddy DeVito, Rossland- Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy and Kootenay West NDP leader Lyle Kristiansen. VANCOUVER (CP) — An 80-year-old man was acquit- ted Tuesday on a charge of sexually assaulting a female homemaker half his age. Senior citizen While telling Alfred Mill ham that the homemaker's testimony was “probably closer to the truth,” provin: cial court Judge Jack Mc- Givern said Millham’s testi- mony raised a reasonable doubt about his guilt. The woman, acquitted d to clean Millham's home, said he medical problems and said he emerged unclothed from his bedroom Dec. 17, struggled with her in the kitchen, forced her to his bed and at. tempted to rape her. Two other homemakers and one supervisor testified Millham had exposed himself on a previous occasion. But Millham denied he consciously exposed himself or attempted to have inter- had exposed his groin area to show that faith-healing he received in the Phillippines had left no scars.

A Can- adian is second in command at NORAD headquarters. The New York Times re- ported today that the U.S. Defence Department is work- ing on a nuclear war plan that would integrate offensive nu- clear weapons and the prop- osed defensive systems known as Star Wars. The Times said Canadian officials are taking part in talks on the command structure unifica- tion “is the one they are dis- cussing with us, not the overall picture.” The new U.S. command structure is scheduled to go into operation on Oct. 1. “That has implications for us, because we don't know yet whether the air defence command will be absorbed into the unified space com- mand or not,” Brady said.
