‘Advisory council

Initiatives to aid economy

Twenty-five per cent un-
employment and a steadily
rising rate of business bank-
ruptey is unacceptable and
unnecessary for the West
Kootenay region.

‘That was the declaration of
the Kootenay West MP Lyle
Kristiansen, and MLAs Chris
D'Arcy and Lorne Nicholson
after meeting with Kristian-
sen’s advisory council re-
cently.

The three believe that the
wasted local resources of
manpower and initiative can

: be put to work.

e@ Highway construction
projects long promised and
some designed and ready to
proceed are in unnecessary
limbo, they said. The. pro-
vincial government should
move now to build the-West
Trail approach, upgrade the
Cape Horn Bluffs (Hwy. 6 in
Slocan) and create a:second
access to the Trail Regional
Hospital.

called together the two

extensive list. of proposed

increases of more than 800
per cent are helping end this,

sults,

. Kristiansen, D'Arcy and
Nicolson placed emphasis on
the government programs
that have been cut back or
are under-funded in this
region. Cancelled highway
projects, silviculture under-
takings and education capital
projects have all had ripple
effects throughout the reg-
ional economy.

Recommendations from

Tourism to escape
current recession

VANCOUVER (CP) — The
B.C. tourist industry, unlike
the province's forestry and
mining sectors, expects to
escape the worst effects of
the current economic reces-
sion as people turn to travel
to forget their financial woes,

In fact, John Plul of the
provincial Tourism Ministry
is calling for an 11-to-12 per
cent increase in revenue for
1982 over 1981. That works
out to more than $2.2 billion
— another record year.

Plul, assistant deputy min-
ister of marketing, said re-
search has shown that travel
no longer is a luxury but a

~ necessity, and “I think people
will maybe travel just to get
away” from their problems.

He doesn't, feel the econ-
omy is going to effect tour-
ism, because what might be
lost ‘in long-distance travel-
lers feeling the economic
pinch will be made up with
holidayers staying closer to
home.

“really doesn't matter be-
cause they all spend dollars,”
Plul said.

tor of the industry, aleady

Jack Butterworth, - presi-
dent of the B.C. Hotels
Association, said hotel busi-
ness right across the prov-
ince is off 18 to 22 per cent in
the first quarter of 1982.

He expects many budget-
conscious travellers to turn
to camping and visits with
friends or relatives,

All the experts point to a
continuing slump in the hotel
industry until the early part
of 1983, said Butterworth,
whose association attempted
recently to get an agreement

from the hotel workers’ union -

uled wage increases.

lead in their best-of-five

lifted goaltender Rick Walm-
sley for an extra attacker.

For the second successive
game, the Nordiques’ check-
ing defused the Montreal
offence, so it wsas was
perhaps fitting that Hunter,
whose chief responsibility
has been to shadow Lafleur,
supplied the only goals Que-
bec would need.

The Canadiens, who have
won just in three years in the
Colisee, were unable to
mount any sustained offence
despite seven power plays.

‘Ornest has first refusal right

TORONTO (CP) —
Ornest says he must be given
right of first refusal before
Montreal Alouettes - presi-
dent George Allen can buy

Harry

the . Canadian- Football
League club from Nelson
Skalbania.

Asked if that means he
may equal or top an offer
Allen may make, Ornest said
Friday: “I would say the in-
formation you have is accur-
ate. That’s the understanding

of my attorney and I, that 1
have the right of first refusal.

“I can sit back and wait for
offers, to be made, and then
decide whether I want to
match them. But I have no
further comment.”

Asked why he hasn't div-
ulged this first refusal right
before — such as last Wed-
nesday when Allen an-
nounced he had reached
agreement in principle to buy
the tedm from Skalbania —

Ornest replied: “We've had
this agreement for months,
but what am I going to do,
trumpet it all over the coun-
try?

“I didn't see any construc-
tive purpose .to publicizing
this agreement.”

Some CFL officials have
expressed doubt Skalbania
can pay debts believed to be
in excess of $2 million and

stock.

Although farmers had no
formal veto over the seven-
day national event, scheduled
to begin Aug. 7, organizers
said sponsors backed out be-
cause of the averse publicity
the farmers would bring.

The cancellation means the
loss of expected tourist dol-
lars from as many as 200,000
people who attended the
event the last three years
when it was held at Grande
Prairie, Alta.

“We couldn't get a com-

terloo) it f Agri-
culture,” said Ross Klopp,
chairman of the Waterloo
Lighter Than Air Associ-
ation. “We couldn't get the
farmers organized to iron out
the difficulties.”

The Canadian Balloon As-
sociation now is looking for
another location.

The event was expected to
draw about 50 balloons for
competition in addition to a
number of “fiesta’a balloons
— show balloons sponsored
by corporations.

The event was scheduled
for the University of Water-
loo but nearby farmers fear-

ed the noise and people at-
tracted to such an event
would damage their prop-
erty.

The federation pointed to
an ineident last October
when the sound of a burner
fired in a balloon about 15
metres above a farm in near-
by Ayr frightened three
horses into jumping a bar-
bed-wire fence. Two of the
horses suffered cuts and the
third minor scrapes.

Beef farmer Ken Murray
complained he was nearly
trampled to death by cattle
when an overhead balloon
fired its burner.

The farmers also com-
plained the people attracted
to the event would trample
crops.

Would Ornest interfere
with a sale to Allen and
match his offer?

“When and if offers are put
in, I'll decide,” Ornest said.
“But the thing is fraught with
complications.”

Ornest, 56, a Vancouver
native, is owed money by
Skalbania from a deal in-
