CURB plans referendum

Scott David Harrison
EDITOR

The Coalition Unaccepting Rash Bu-
reaucracy is going to try to beat the city
at its own game.

The upstart citizens group has decid-
ed to hold a referendum of its own.
CURB is planning to run an advertise-
ment in local newspapers asking citi-
zens to vote on the relocation of the city
works yards.

“If enough people say they don’t want
it moved, then they can’t move it,” pres-
ident Michael O’Connor told a small
gathering of CURB members.

-At_a.general meeting Thursday,
CURB decided to focus its energy on the
planned relocation of the works yards,
saying the $850,000 needed for the move
should be better spend.

O'Connor said the city should put the
move off for a year and concentrate its
efforts on rectifying its southend sewage
problems. i

O’Connor said the money budgeted

for the new city works is misleading.

He said the project will cost citizens
upwards of $1 million thanks to the
provincial government's introduction of
Fair Wage Legislation.

Councillor Doreen Smecher dis-
agreed. She said the city has put
$850,000 into the 1992 budget for the re-
location of the works yard and it doesn’t
plan to spend anymore. She also said
that southend sewer troubles will be ad-
dressed when the source of the problem
is found.

“What we have taken out of our (pub-
lic ) meetings is that we are being asked
to spend as we go and that is what we
are doing,” she said.

Smecher admitted she was curious to
see the outcome of CURB’s referendum,
but she added that it would have little
impact on the relocation the work yard.

“It will certainly be interesting to see
what,the results of this unofficial refer-
endum will be, but I don’t think it will
change anything.”

Pope and
Talbot
on edge

Pulp and paper dispute has
Abe Friesen calling for new deal

Scott David Harrison
EDITOR i

It’s out with the old and in with the
new at the Castlegar sawmill.

Wednesday, Pope and Talbot Ltd. of-
ficially took possession of the local
sawmill, handing Westar Timber a $22
million cheque. Pope and Talbot’s plans
to get the sawmill running at full speed
again could be in jeopardy, though.

A threatened strike by the Pulp and
Paper Workers of Canada has Pope.and
Talbot president Abe Friesen on edge.
Friesen says a pulp and paper strike
would force him to close down the local
sawmill.

“The indication is that there will be
a strike,” Friesen said Thursday, “and
that very much concerns us.

everything we want to accomplish, but
there’s nothing we can do about it” he
said. “It’s frustrating, especially for the
(sawmill) workers who have been off the
job for five months.”

Pending the outcome of the pulp and
paper strike vote, which will be an-
nounced Wednesday, Friesen said his
company would proceed as normal.

He said Pope and Talbot mainte-
nance crews would start at the Castle-
gar sawmill Monday, followed by two
shifts reporting for work April 27. He
said the remainder of the 280 employees
would be called back three weeks later.

Pulp and paper workers could be ina
legal strike position May 1.

Talks between the PPWC_and the
B.C. Pulp and Paper Bureau broke off
13 days ago when both sides walked
away from the table. That breakdown ~
marked the second time negotiations
have failed to produce a deal. Last sum-
mer both sides left the bargaining table
in August after three months of talks
produced nothing.

Unionized pulp workers are seeking
a $2 across-the-board raise, hiked pen-
sion contributions and stronger contract
language. The BCPPB has said no to
each of those, though, saying an indus-
try which has lost $500 million since Au-
gust can hardly afford to grant hefty
raises.

FROM THE CASTLEGAR NEWS TO YOU, HAVE A SAFE AND HAPPY EASTER
