Out Pulpwood link» disputed By CasNews Staff The proposed expansion and modernization of the Celgar pulp mill is not conditional on the company receiving timber harvesting rights as part of any future pulpwood agreement with the Ministry of Forests, said Wilf Sweeney, generai manager of the Celgar project Sweeney said he is disappointed that some groups, which he said have vowed to do everything they can to kill the project, continue to try to link the expansion and environmental cleanup of the pulp mill with the Provincial government's call for ap- plications for a pulpwood agreement covering southeastern B.C “There simply is no connection between the modernization and the Possibility of a pulpwood agreement,’’ Sweeney said in a news release. -“*The facts are straightfor- ward and should be clearly under- stood. Celgar is the only pulp mill in British Columbia that does not have timber rights. Every chip we use we buy from sawmills in the region We're happy with that ar and we hope it continues to work for all concerned."* The Valhalla Society, a New Den ver-based environmental group, says in its latest newsletter that Celgar representatives claimed at an open house on the proposed project in New Denver that the company will not need to cut any trees in the pulpwood area and that the only reason Celgar needs the pulpwood agreement is to keep other companies from obtaining it “The fact is that Celgar has admit ted elsewhere that it needs the pulp wood agreement as ‘insurance’ of timber supply in order to obtain bank loans,"" the Valhalla Society says “The bankers, the government and the forest industry know the present surplus of chips will not last because the sawmills are running out of wood."’ The environmental group says that as old-growth forests are ‘liquidated,"” the shift to logging second-growth trees will result in a significant decrease in the volume and quality of wood available “This means sawmills will close and that there will be a significant decrease_in the amount of chips available, thus causing increased logging for pulpwood. Meanwhile, 22 pulp mills and mill expansions in B.C mean enormously increased demand for chips. The key question is not whether increased pulpwood. cutting will occur on the agreer.sent areas, but when.”” But Sweeney takes a different view “As an independent pulp co pany, Celgar’s future is tied inex tricably to the continued well-being of the West Kootenay sawmills,”’ he said. ‘*Celgar can only survive if the sa.aills survive _— and we're con fident that the system now in place please see PULPWOOD page AS Japanese guests were treated By CasNews Staff Officials from Castlegar’s Japanese sister city want to see the young people of the two com munities become closely linked, Castlegar Ald. Albert Calderbank says. Representatives of the town of Embetsu, which signed an official twinning agreement with Castlegar last year, feel the high school students of the two coi munities must get to know one another because they will be the ones to carry on the twinning agreement in the future, Calder bank said Two officials and represen- tatives_of Aoyama Technical College, Selkirk College's sister institution, were in Castlegar for three days of meetings and recreational activities beginning Saturday School board chairman Gordon Turner said Tuesday the board, which supports other student ex change programs such as the Rotary Club’s exchanges, would likely support an exchange of students between Castlegar and Embetsu.

The change students are, then few problems should crop up to ham per exchanges between the two communities, he said. He said the school board has not yet been approached to for- mally consider an exchange bet- ween the two communities. Speaking through an interpreter Sunday at the Complex, Embetsu Mayor Yoshiyuki Sasaki told the Castlegar News the emphasis on the exchange is more on people than economics. He said the exchange of younger people between the two communities is important to develop a better understanding of each other Elizabeth Fleet, chairman of the Selkirk College board, said the weekend was a success. One of the most important out comes of the two days of ac- tivities, which included a com- munity barbecue that was atten ded by several hundred people, was an increase in awareness of Castlegar’s sister city, Fleet said A number of people were in volved in the preparation of the visit and they are now more aware of the good that can come of such a link between communities in dif. ferent parts of the world, she said ing and dining, as The Embetsu and Aoyama representatives were given an of. ficial reception at the airport Saturday. They were taken to Zuckerberg Island where the two mayors and the two college chairmen planted trees. Fleet said a_ traditional Doukhobor dinner Saturday night at the Brilliant Cultural Centre was an eyeopener for the Japanese visitors who were not well informed about the depth of the **Russian connection’’ in Castlegar “When they were told several thousand Russian people live here they were just floored.” Fleet said Sunday's activities included a trip on the Arrow Lakes in houseboats and the community ®asbecue at the Complex. Of ficials from the two communities also squared off in a. friendly slo- pitch game Later, the two councils held a meeting ‘which Calderbank called “very produc tive.” A farewell dinner was held Sunday night and Monday the Embetsu officials left on a trip to Banff.

The school district budget is based on a set amount of money provided by the ministry for each student enrolled in Castlegar schools. Enrolment estimates by the district staff and the ministry were both significantly lower than the actual number of students attending Classes, Wayling said. The ministry, which used its estimate in setting the school district's budget for the year, was nearly 50 students off the mark while the school HOWARD DIRKS . will run on record district anticipated about 72 students fewer than current enrolment figures show District staff had expected about 135 Grade 9 students at Stanley Humphries but there are currently 155 students in that grade, Wayling said Kinnaird eimentary has a number of large classes, including two Grade 6 classes of 30 and 31 students. Woodland Park elementary school has a large split class of 28 students and extra staff may be needed at that school as well, Wayling said. However, he noted Tarrys elemen- tary school, which has two large split classes in Grades 4 to 6, also has primary classes of 18, 16 and 15 students each. Such classes are “‘the best ever”’ in terms of enrolment figures, Wayling said. The distribution of students at Tarrys, producing the large split classes in the higher grades and the smaller classes in primary, was deter- mined by the school’s teaching staff, he said. Distribution of students at Woodland Park was also decided by school staff, he added. + The school district may also have further problems with high enrolment in January when the second group of first-year primary students begins classes. please see BOARD page A2 CORKY EVANS . - pleased to face Dirks Dirks, Evans rematch set By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer Two former opponents are Preparing to face one another again in a provincial election following the renominatign of Provincial Secretary Howard Dirks as the Social Credit candidate in the Nelson-Cresion riding.

But board chairman Gordon Tur ner says reopening the school is a costly move that can't be justified right’ now. by—enrolment figures despite the crowded conditions at Kinnaird. Elementary-age students in the Blueberry and Fairview areas are bused to Kinnaird. Currently, 73 students from the Blueberry area are attending primary classes at Kinnaird. School district figures show 65 students were eligible to attend Blueberry school in the equivalent grade levels in September 1985 If the Blueberry student population had increased to about 100, opening the small school could be considered, Turner said Tuesday. But since the increase has been small, opening Blueberry school now would require’ busing to Blueberry students living in other areas of the district and currently attending Kin. naird elementary, he said Reopening the school has been discussed several times by the board in the last few years and has not been completely ruled out, Turner said The request to reopen Blueberry school coupled with the overcrowding at Kinnaird puts the school board in a difficult position, he said. However, when the Stanley Hum. phries secondary school upgrading project is completed, Grade 8 studen. ts may be moved to the high school, opening up space at Kinnaird Junior secondary school for Grade 6 students from Kinnaird elementary, Turner said. Such a reshuffling could alleviate the overcrowding at the elementary level and eliminate the need to con sider reopening Blueberry school, he said But Turner noted during Monday's meeting that the fate of Castlegar's rural schools may depend on the Proposed Celgar pulp mill expansion Project. The school district might receive an influx of students from families of construction workers who move to the areas if the project receives government approval and goes ahead In that case, the school board would likely consider reopening Blueberry as well as the other rural schools such as Ootischenia clemen tary, Turner said. Turner said the higher enrolment will mean more funding from the Ministry of Education and some of that could be used to reopen Blueberry school But during preparation of the 1990- 91 school year budget the board iden. tified a number of areas, such as equipment purchases, which trusices say lack adequate funding and ‘hose as jy CasNews Staff A new concrete single-lane vehicular bridge with a sidewalk is planned by the Ministry of Tran sportation and Highways for the Slocan River at Slocan The bridge will replace a wooden walking bridge which was put in place earlier this year when an old timber-truss vehicular bridge was declared unsafe and was removed from service District’ highways manager Dan Williams said consultants are currently designing the bridge which will be located near the mouth of the Slocan River.
