He acknowledged that approval is “critical” for business confidence in the West Kootenay and the delay in approval has put pressure on him. “I'm the fellow that’s carrying the can,” Brisco said, adding, “I'm prepared to live with the negative side in anticipation of the positive side.” He refuted any suggestion that he doesn't have the political clout to bring home a deal for Cominco, pointing to the trust placed in him by cabinet. “The only reason why I know what is going on is that I have the trust” of senior cabinet ministers, he said. Brisco said an opposition member from-Kootenay West would not have the same trust. ‘ While Brisco conceded that the re-opening of the Cyprus Anvil mine could have an impact on zine prices, he said there are no sii iti the loan for the Yukon mine and Cominco's application for federal assistance. ‘Brisco said the Cyprus Anvil deal involved only $13 ‘REAGAN ENCOURAGED WASHINGTON (AP) — President - Ronald Reagan said: Saturday. he is encouraged that. “legi- . timate negotiations are under way” with the Soviet Union on arms control as State Secretary George Shultz headed for Moscow to clear “major obstacles” in the way of an agreement. : Reagan, in his weekly radio address, said the to an Editor Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco remained confident this week that Cominco will receive federal assistance with its . $150-million lead smelter modernization. “Right from the outset discussions have’neyer ceased,” Brisco said Friday in a telephone interview from his Ottawa office. - . “It has been a very complicated process,” he added. Brisco reiterated Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's comments during a May 1984 visit to the smelter when Mulroney said: “This is what Canada needs. This is the kind of thinking we can support.” Brisco's words of assurance came on’ the heels of an announcement this week that Denison Mines plans to re-open the giant Cyprus Anvil lead-zinc mine at Faro, Yukon with the help of a $13 million loan guarantee from Ottawa. The move could have-a negative impact on Cominco, which with Noranda dominates the Western world’s zinc production. 3 Cominco has already given notice that it plans to shut _down its Trail operations for four weeks next summer because of the glut of zinc on the world market. Brisco said because it will be a loan, the Cominco figure will be much higher than $60 million. g Brisco also said the Cyprus Anvil pact was not as complex as the Cominco deal. He cited a “host of issues” involved in the Cominco application, including potential taxation.and possible countervailing duties by the U.S. Brisco said possible countervailing duties in particular “has. required exhaustive inquiries.” - Kremlin's proposal original American offer is the first sign that negotiations in Geneva are bearing fruit. - On Friday, the United States unveiled a- new proposal in Geneva in response to the Soviet package. Castleaird Plaza Halloween 1 Photo Contest P Seas SS 365-2211 He said he is concerned about the “impact of additional zine products on the marketplace,” but is sure the department of mines analysed the deal before proceeding. Brisco also pointed out the Cyrpus Anvil mine won't be in full production until 1987. “It will be a gradual increase in production based on the marketplace,” he said. = The mine is expected to hire 450 people by mid-1986 and provide another 550 spinoff jobs. . Asked if the decision to open the mine was political, given the mine is in the riding of Deputy Prime Minister Erik Nielsen, Brisco responded that before the mine closed in 1982 it was the largest employer in the Yukon.

Defends Demers NELSON (CP) — The Su- preme Court of. Canada will give “recognition to the un- born” and outlaw abortions within two years, anti-abor- tion activist Joe Borowski predicted Friday. The kind of civil disobedi- ence practised by Jim Dem- ers, who destroyed abortion equipment at a Nelson hos- pital in January, is paving the way for that decision, Borowski told 100 people at a $14-a-plate benefit dinner for Demers’ defence fund. Borowski, a former Mani- toba cabinet minister, called Demers’ action an “accep- table form of protest against abortions” and urged people who don’t want to break the law to “assist those who are going to do it.” Demers, a Nelson cabinet- maker, was convicted of theft under $200 and mischief; he was sentenced to 18 months probation and ordered to pay the hospital the $2,020 it cost to replace the suction mach- ine that Demers stole, con- verted to a book wagon, and returned. Demers is appealing the conviction. Borowski had harsh words for pro-choice activists. “The Fourth Reich is alive and well,” he said, comparing 40 pro-choice protesters out- side the meeting hall to anti-Jewish forces in Nazi Germany. “They want to impose their Fourth Reich mentality and morality on the rest of Can- ada,” he said.

Castlegar school board can-- didates will meet Nov. 12 at 7 council and school board can- didates. However, ‘because of this year’s large number of can- didates, it was decided sep- arate meetings would give the public a better chance to hear and get to know the Slocan Valley man NELSON (CP) — A West Kootenay man says his hands and feet were burned by the herbicide Roundup and that when he asked for protective gear he was fired from his spraying job. . Stan Weiler of Vallican, a community in the Slocan Valley, told a three-member panel of the provincial en- vironmental appeal board that he was applying the chemical during rain without sufficient protective equip- ment. . Weiler said he was work- ing for a Nanaimo company, contracted to clear alder from under a B.C. Hydro power line in the Slocan Val- ley. The panel is hearing a re- quest that the Forests Min- istry be stopped from spray- ing: Roundup at two sites near Ymir, about 53 kil-_ ometres south of Nelson. After two days his hands became red and began. to sting, he said, then he had trouble sleeping. On the sixth day he went to his supervisor and said he wanted protec- tive face covering and rubber gloves and boots. The supervisor fired him, Weiler said, calling him “not suitable for the job.” Weiler said the skin on his hands and feet peeled and cracked and his hands bled in some places, so that “it was hard for me to use my hands some days.” Forestry representative Brian McNaughton told the panel that under forestry regulations, no spraying can take place when it is raining or when rain is expected within six hours.
