The five people were de tected during routine medical examinations, said Dr. Scott Leslie, chief of the depart. ment's immigration and quar antine section. Canada doesn't require all immigration applicants to be tested for exposure to the AIDS virus, but doctors look for symptoms associated with AIDS and can order tests in selected people. “We rely on the clinical acumen Of the local physici ans who examine all appli cants to detect AIDS-related symptoms,” Leslie said. Premier to meet Harcourt VICTORIA (CP) — Pre- TELEPHONE 365-5210 srcscr rans. cy ferent ond for the Co }« June 23 for the month of July. stl News Business mier Bill Vander Zalm will meet tonight with NDP Leader Mike Harcourt to discuss the impasse over the B.C. government's labor bill but neither held out hope the sta lemate would be broken. Harcourt, still upset at what he called a personal at- tack by Vander Zalm during the premier’s radio show Sunday, declined to reveal any details of the suggestions he planned to make to the premier at the meeting. He did say, however, a cooling- off period is needed to take a second look at the bill. Vander Zalm, who has consistently said he will not change his strategy in deal- ing with the industrial rela- tions reform bill, said he would listen but gave no indication he would embrace any of Harcourt’s ideas. The premier also criticized Harcourt for requesting a private meeting instead of laying all his cards on the table in the legislature. Harcourt was furious with Vander Zalm's remarks on his radio show, especially when the premier said labor leaders “sent Harcourt, the leader of the NDP, on some phoney coal mission” while they held a _provincewide shutdown. Harcourt released letters — including one from Energy Minister Jack Davis — show- ing his trip to Ontario had been planned for several months and Vander Zalm was familiar with the details be- fore he left.

Mike McLean, son of property owner Ray McLean, sits at a picnic table on the family acreage near Hugh Keenleyside Dam with B.C. Hydro's scrap metal compound in the WATERFRONT OWNER WANTS ‘MESS' MOVED By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer Castlegar resident Ray McLean has what he feels is an unsightly mess sitting next to his future backyard, and he would like to see it cleaned up. Unfortunately, the “mess” is in a fenced compound owned by B.C. Hydro and has been there several years. “This stuff has been here 15 or 16 years,” said Mike McLean, Ray McLean's son. “It’s time for them to clean up their act, so to speak.” McLean said when his father bought the acreage, located on the far side of the Hugh Keenleyside Dam, B.C. Hydro was even storing its old material on the property. He said Hydro quickly cleaned up the material they were responsible for — including three old transformers — by simply moving much of it to the fenced compound adjacent to McLean's property Hydro's compound sits between the newly upgraded Neighborhood Beach and McLean's property. McLean said he spent some $6,000 on his property, moving three truckloads of “scrap crap,” leveling the land and planting trees and grass. Senet be see nwmesceg mest > background. Ray McLean says the site is an eyesore for both he and the passing tourists and he would like to see it cleaned up CasNews Photo by Mike Kalesmiko McLean argues that Hydro's compound is unsightly for the growing number of tourists who must drive past it to reach Syringa Creek park or the new beach. “There's been nothing recent put in there,” he said. “It's crap that they had here and don't want to bother cleaning up.” McLean argues that B.C. Hydro already has another compound yard near the entrance to the damn, so the second one near his property is unnecessary. But Lawrence Flynn, spokesman for B.C. Hydro at the Kootenay Canal generating station, said the company has no plans to clean out the compound. “We cleaned up quite a bit from there last fall,” he said, adding other objects, such as an old dilapidated shack and some aging tanks, will soon be removed. But Flynn argues that the compound is necessary for storing scrap metal. “We can go and salvage material from there instead of buying expensive new material,” he said. “But when he (McLean) bought the piece of property it was all there,” he said. “He didn't come to talk to us about it before buying the land.” Flynn said the chances of the compound ever being moved are slim. He added that painting the main building there is not necessary at present and he said the idea of planting trees around the outside of the complex is not B.C. Hydro’s responsibility, but McLean's. “Basically, we see that as an industrial complex,” he said. Ray McLean hopes to build a home on his new property, and he said if the situation is not changed he will plant trees near the yard’s mess, “so I don't have to look at it.” Postal talks continuing OTTAWA (CP) — Canada Post and its 20,000 letter carriers were to return to the bargaining table late Saturday to discuss a corporate offer aimed at averting a postal strike that could come as early as Tuesday. A spokesman for the Letter Carriers’ Union of Canada said negotiations would continue if the post office showed any sign of movement but doubted any major changes were coming. “It's going to depend mostly on the employer's attitude and what they bring forward,” Michel Robert, assistant to the union's national executive, said Saturday Canada Post spokesman David Newman would give no details on the offer being prepared for presentation later Saturday to the union. N i could and possibly right to 12:01 a.m. Tuesday when the union can legally walk off the job. Some minor issues in the contract dispute have been settled. But Robert said the letter carriers are not changing their major demands. The disputed areas include wages and Canada Post demands for concession in job security and working conditions. The federal government and the post office have Prepared for a strike. Pension and family allowance cheques were sent out early this month to make sure they got out. HAS PLANS And on Friday, Employment Minister Benoit Bouchard said report cards needed to claim unemployment insurance continued on page A2 FILE APPEAL CP Rail unions Oppose spraying By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer Four unions representing employees of CP Rail have formed a coalition to stop planned pesticide spraying along rail tracks in the West Kootenay. The pesticide, Spike 80W, was sche- duled to be sprayed along the CP Rail tracks for about 50 kilometres from South Slocan to Slocan City and for about 80 kilometres from Nelson west through to Castlegar and Coykendal beginning June 19. But the spraying has been delayed until a ministry of environment official tours the tracks. The union coalition, called the Com- Man hurt in airport accident By CasNews Staff An industrial accident at the Castle- gar Airport Friday morning sent a Castlegar man to hospital suffering from an electrical shock. Ministry of Transport spokesman Richard Paquette said Richard Prokop, 20, an employee of Electron Industries of Castlegar, was doing some electrical work in a building at the airport when his head touched an electrical outlet and he received a shock. “He was doing some work in the field electrical centre. He touched his head to a bussbar and received a shock of a fair magnitude,” said Paquette. Prokop was rushed to Castlegar and District Hospital where he was treated and released. Paquette said that it was his understanding that Prokop re turned to work later in the day. Kelly Sallis, an employee of the Kootenay Country Tourist Association near the airport, told the Castlegar News she was asked by workers near the accident site to call an ambulance __ shortly after the incident occurred. “Some guys came over here and got me to call the ambulance. I called John Michelson (airport manager) who called the fire truck,” said Sallis. mittee of Railroad Employees United Against Spike, has filed appeals with the Environmental Appeal Board in a bid to stop the pesticide spraying. The unions involved include the United Transportation Union, the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Brotherhood of Railway, Airline Clerks and the Canadian Signal and Communications Union. Coalition spokesman Craig Lawrence said the unions have joined together to stop the spraying because so little is known about Spike 80W, which is used to kill weeds alongside the tracks. “We don’t know too much about Spike. Also, weed root systems devel- op a resistance to pesticides, so strong- er applications will have to be used in the future,” Lawrence told the Castle- gar News in an interview Friday. Lawrence added that a U.S. doctor has suggested CP Rail hold off. on spraying Spike 80W until more infor. mation on the pesticide is known. TI Lawrence. “We've filed the appeals and we're hoping that will stop it.” Lawrence added that Spike 80W was sprayed between Roseberry and Nak- usp in 1986 during the night, which an- noyed local residents and on the fol- lowing day track crews were sent to work along the freshly sprayed lines “without being informed of the danger to which they were being exposed.” As a result, both CP Rail and the contractor who performed the spraying for the railway were fined for several permit violations. The same contractor has also been assigned to spray the tracks in this area. Although CP Rail maintains the spraying is needed to assure track safety by killing the weeds, United — ~ ‘Transportation Union spokesman Ter- ry Elliot claims the pesticide will pose’a greater danger to those who work along the tracks. “We are on the front lines. We are of railway empl may suffer from the widespread spray- ing of Spike. The CPR has not shown itself responsible in their application of pesticides and should be stopped,” said d to work in all the areas that CP Rail intends to spray with Spike — some of us daily,” said Elliot. He added that not enough is known from Canada Post Corp. on what uld be done -- if Heritage classes By RON NORMAN Editor Local heritage courses should be offered through the Knowledge Net work and community colleges, and school boards should take a more active role in educating students about their heritage, says the chairman of Castle gar Heritage Advisory Committee “Such programs would preserve our heritage through awareness and in creased involvement, and would make future heritage formation that much easier,” said John Charters. Charters made the comment in a brief to the Project Pride Task Force Thursday afternoon in Nelson. The seven-member task force is chaired by Kim Campbell, MLA for Vancouver. Point Grey, and has spent the last two months touring the province gathering submissions on B.C. heritage. The 10-community tour ends June 16 in Victoria. The task force must prepare a draft report under Dr. Colin Campbell, executive director of the Heritage Trust. The report will form the basis of recommendations for redrafting the 10-year-old B.C, Heri tage Act. Charters's submission was one of nine written briefs presented Thursday Rossland, Trail, Nelson and Kaslo also submitted briefs. Charters said he is “delighted” the provincial government has included culture, heritage and tourism under one ministry. “I trust, on the other hand, that the government does not see heritage and culture as a cheap means of promoting tourism. Such action would inevitably destroy them all.” He suggested increased cooperation among government, education and private enterprise “But to achieve this we need some changes and investment in the educat ional system. The ayerage student in school knows more about the medieval society of Western Europe than he does of the basics of archaeology, anthropology and the culture of his own community,” Charters said. He pointed to Zuckerberg Island Heritage Park as an example of a resource that could be better used. “The island is used more and more by the local schools while the school board denies any responsibility for the upgrading of the island's educational potential, either by offering courses or by assisting in special identification of plants.” Charters blamed the lack of co operation on “compartmentalized thin king”. He said it “pervades both the scholastic discipline and the bureau cracy.” “Each sees only its own narrows sphere of influence and ignores all others,” he said. Charters also condemned the fact that heritage has been largely over looked in the “rush to make a liveli hood.” *“In consequence, much of the cul tural and historical material in this area has been lost or is disinte grating rapidly through ignorance or expediency,” he said He pointed to the historic paddle wheeler SS Minto, the rich Native Indian fishing and living sites along the shores of the Lower Arrow Lake and the Kootenay Doukhobor bridge that escaped demolition five years ago only after public outery “Had it been five years earlier there would have been less awareness and it would not -be standing now,” he suggested. “Each day we lose a little of our heritage through expediency, greed, ignorance and bureaucratic compart mentalization, particularly the latter two.” Finally, he emphasized the need for constant vigilance over heritage sites. particularly such sites as the island, which is “small and fragile and easily destroyed.” He said “it must be primarily a place of peace and learning, just as Mr. Zuckerberg would have wished it. Heritage is, therefore our primary concern ~and tourism only secondary.” Other speakers made presentations continued on poge A3
