Nursery caught in red tape

By RON NORMAN
Editor

A Castlegar nursery owner who
‘wants to expand his business has found
himself tangled in a mass of bureaucra-
“tie red tape.

*: However, a quick solution may not
. be far off.

Jung Chang, owner of Chang’s Nur-
sery and Florist Ltd., wants to buy
‘property along Highway. 3. in Ootisch-
enia from realtor Jack Hipwell.

Chang intends to construct a nursery
totalling 10,000 square feet: 2,000
square feet of retail space and 8,000

square’ feet of greenhouses... The ox:
panded nursery’ would employ two

‘more full-time , workers and . three

additional part-time. workers, he said.

Chang says there isn't room to
expand: the business at its current
location, 2601 9th Ave., which is in the
centre of a

could only sell shrubs and trees grown
from seed on the property, but later
relented and agreed he could sell
shrubs and! trees “brought. onto the

though the Ootischenia property is

Chang said. -

“He also told the board ‘he- has

CASTLEGAR, BRITISH COLUMBIA,

RDCK turns
down ban on

By CasNews Staff

A proposal to ban smoking at Central
Kootenay Regional District board
meetings went up in smoke on the
weekend. :

The regional board voted against a
recommendation from Dr. Monty Ar-

nott, director of the Central Kootenay _

Healthy Unit, that the board allow
at it it only with the —

oeeaiea consent to those present.

The rejection came despite the fact
that
on the regional board.

~ However, Arnott has had more suc-
cess with Castlegar council and the
Castlegar and District Hospital board,
both of which have adopted no smoking
policies for their-meetings.. -

“] will strenuously oppose a ban on
smoking,” Area J director Martin
Vanderpol — a smoker — sajd during
Saturday’s 15-minute heated debate.

Vanderpol added, to hoots of laught-
er from other directors, “I intend to

- quit smoking and even if I do I still

intend to object to it (a ban).”
\| He said the alternative would be to
set 10 minutes aside during each hour
for smokers to enjoy a break.

Vanderpol suggested the extra 10-
minutes per hour could mean longer
board meetings.

But Kaslo Mayor Jack Morris count-
ered that Vanderpol was just blowing
smoke. -

“I think that’s a scare tactic,” Morris
said of the 10-minute smoking break.

Castlegar, Mayor Audrey Moore said
her council adopted a no smoking policy
earlier this month and she agreed to it
even, though she smokes.

“If they make me suffer a little bit,
maybe I will get rid of it a little
sooner,” she said.

In his letter-to the board, Arnott
said, “It is well: recognized that
cigarette smoking is the major public

health hazard facing the western civil- _

ized world.”

He called “passive cigarette smoking
by the inhalation of sidestream or ex-
haled smoke” detrimental to the health
of non-smokers.

Arnott pointed out that the Central
Kootenay Union Board of Health
agreed at its June 13 meeting to pro-
hibit smoking throughout health unit
buildings.

“Rather than promoting conflict by
attempting to prohibit smoking at your
meetings, may I suggest that this topic
be raised for discussion and that a

motion to the effect that smoking will |
only be allowed with the unanimous _

consent of all those present be prop-
osed,” Arnott said in his letter.

But that didn’t sit well with Area F
director Dave Pearce.

“T feel that’s an infringement.”

By CasNews Staff
and News Services
The Ata fire north and west. of
Renata is continuing to give firefight-
ers problems in the Arrow forest dis-
trict, Dave Fitchett, duty officer at the
forest service field office in Castlegar
said today.
“The whole west flank of the fire is
not contained,” Fitchett said.
“Yesterday afternoon the fire went
over a guard in the northwest corner,”
he said, adding that part of the fire is

“now in the Boundary forest district.

“Today they're moving in three more
cats to push a guard around that escape
and continue south to meet up with the
cats in the southwest corner.”

“They're trying to keep spot fires

down and hold the fire at its present-

Firefighters, A2

position while they’ build cat guards
from the southwest corner to the
north.”

Fitchett ‘explained that an east wind
yesterday was causing the fire to
“crown,” meaning the flames were
getting “right up into the trees.”

Once that happens, the trees “can-
dle,” or go up in flames, he said, which
in turn causes its own wind, carrying
embers into the forest.

Fitchett said there ate 79 people
working on the fire using 32 pieces of
equipment, including oye light and two
medium helicopters. /

There are now 66 fires burning in the
Arrow district. Eleven of those are not
contained. No new fires started over-
night.

In-the last 24 hours, $126,000 has
been spent fighting the fires in. the
district, bringing the total spent to
date to $3,001,000.

Hot temperatures and very erratic
winds have caused several fires to take
runs, mostly in steep country around
Trout Lake, Fitchett said.

He added that the fire hazard i: is now
extreme in the Castlegar area and that

the recreation and travel ban remains
in effect for cial forests.
Meanwhile residents of a rural area
north of Rock Creek were put on an
evacuation alert after a forest fire that

was contained last week went out of

control again Tuesday.

A. Forest Service worker at the
Kettle Valley ranger. station said “all
kinds of crews” were working on the
blaze to prevent it from crossing the
Kettle River.

IWA pair
want to

By CasNews Staff

Two members of IWA local 1-405 at
Westar Timber's Southern Wood
Products sawmill in Castlegar have |
applied for decertification.

Edith Beninger, financial: Secretary:
for the local, said a B.C. Labor
lations Board hearing on the applica-
tion was held July 9 and 10, with final
arguments heard July 25.

Beninger refused to say why ‘the
union members, who are office workers
at the mill, want to decertify, saying
she prefers to wait until the LRB
makes its decision.——

However, she said the office workers _
are under one certification that in-
cludes 250 mill workers in the unit.

“That's part of the problem,” she
said.

Al Blessin, industrial relations man-
ager at the mill, said he also prefers to
wait until the board makes a decision
before commenting.
