CosNews photo by Claudette Sondecki Transport reps blasted Controllers to be pulled from Castlegar By CLAUDETTE SANDECKI Staff Writer The only way West Kootenay residents can keep air traffic con- trollers in the Castlegar Airport * tower, which is operated by Transport Canada, is by seeking funding from another level of government, Tran sport Canada’s director of air navigation services for the Pacific region said “Why would we object (to allowing the controllers to remain in Castlegar if another source of funding is found)?"’ Don Douglas asked about 60-area Te Ss, politicians, private and commercial pilots and airport staff members during a three-hour question-and-answer session Thur sday night in Castlegar. The idea was brought up by a member of the audience “There are things that can be done if you feel that strongly about retaining the service,"’ Douglas said, noting the idea has been ‘‘entertained before’? and such plans have been carried out in other-parts of the coun- try. “1 don’t think! Ould come up with anything othe than that (per Suading another government to provide money for the controllers), he added when asked if he had any suggestions. Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore and Kootenay West-Revelstoke MP Lyle Kristiansen both opposed the idea of seeking funding for the con- trollers from another level of gover- nment. “If we do it locally the next thing you know we'll be asking for lottery grants or holding bake sales to fund essential services,’” Kristiansen said Ken Wyllie, director for Area J of the Regional District of Central Kootenay, told the officials he is “‘disgusted’’ by the decision to pull the controllers from Castlegar without consultation. “Unless we have reasons in writing explaining how this has been done and a proper (consultation) process is in fact undertaken, it would be the recommendation of me to my board that this matter be the subject of review in another process, i.e., the judicial process,’’ Wyllie said John Glover, regional manager of air navigation requirements, said Transport Canada would take over the funding of the controllers again if the number of aircraft movements per year at the-airport increased enough to warrant controllers, in accordance with Transport Canada regulations. Four Pacific region officials atten ded the meeting with the intention of making presentations to explain the duties of air traffic controllers and flight service specialists, who the of- ficials say will take over the running of the tower when the controllers AUDREY MOORE - Opposes alternative funding leave, as well as how Transport Canada officials decided to pull the controllers from Castlegar But anger and frustration boiled over before Al Yeadon, regional supervisor of tower operations, finished his presentation and the crowd refused to let Glover begin his talk. (Glover made his presentation after the main part of the meeting to the people who chose to stay and listen.) The men were instead peppered with questions — some highly technical — from the pilots, represen- tatives of the Selkirk College aviation Program and Dean McDonald; Pa- cific regional director of the Canadian Air Traffic Control Association. McDonald is an air traffic controller im Vancouver. The questions began with an angry denunciation of the meeting itself, which was set up after the decision to remove the controllers was announ- ced. Former federal Transportation Minister Benoit Bouchard signed numerous letters sent to local politicians, organizations and in- dividuals promising consultation before any. decision on the tower was made. Douglas agreed the meeting was not the consultation process promised and said the meeting should be called “tinformational.’” “We certainly seem to have let you down on the consultative process. I apologize to you on behalf of the minister. We'll just have to do the best we can now,"' he said Tyansport Canada officials prefer consultation ‘‘as much as we possibly can’’ but in the case of Castlegar the decision to remain silent was made in Ottawa, Douglas explained. A document concerning possible closure of airport towers, including Castlegar’s, was leaked to the Castlegar media last year. The leaks worried Ottawa and Pacific region of- ficials were told to remain quiet about Castlegar until they were given clearance to speak July 13, he said Douglas, Glover and another regional official agreed to a July 4 public meeting and then cancelled at the last minute. The controllers will likely be please see TRANSPORT page A2 ontract calls for 18% hike By CasNews Staff The 3,300 members of the five United Steelworkers of America locals at Cominco Ltd. were expected to ratify a new 27-month -contract Friday night. Results of the vote were not available when the Castlegar News went to press Friday afternoon. Ron Schmidt, Local 480 chief negotiator, said he was ‘‘confident’’ the union members would vote for the deal that includes an 18-per-cent wage increase over the life of the contract which will expire in September 1992. The base rate will increase to $15.80 from $13.32 during the length of the agreement. Workers at the top of the wage scale will move to $24.65 from $20.82. The increase does not qual’ the wage parity with other industry workers the union was seeking when it went into negotiations but Schmidt said the union members will under- stand. “I think the men will realize that when you are that far behind because of what’s been happening in the mining industry in the last couple of years, it’s difficult to get it (parity) overnight."" The union will be in'a good position for another increase when the con- tract comes up for renewal, he said. The agreement also includes a 44 per cent increase in base pensions and a 29 per cent increase in the pension ‘bridge’? — an amount given to workers who take early retirement, Schmidt said The pension after 30 years of age 58 will be $1,530 per month. The union members will receive a signing bonus of $450 and a 25-cent raise in January as protection against the goods and services tax. Shift workers will be paid for the days they must take off to keep their hours down to a 40-hour week and there Health u have been additions and increases to medical benefits. The Kimberley mine will reopen in stages following the ratification of the contract but Kimberley miners will get severence pay when the mine even- tually closes for good, Schmidt said. The mine is running out of ore and will have to shut down someday unless another major discovery is made, he said. Three months of development work will be needed before ‘‘sufficient mineable ore reserves will be in place to allow the restart of the Sullivan concentrator,’’ a Cominco news release said. That work will begin as soon as unionized supervisors and employees can return, the company said. Cominco will begin restarting the Trail smelter operation as soon as the contract is ratified. Schmidt said the negotiations, which went for as long as 21 hours at a time during the strike that began July 9, were “‘tough’’ as well as long. Negotiating with Teck Corp., Cominco’s parent company, was dif- ficut and negotiating a contract for five separate locals that each have their own issues added to the problems, he said. Negotiating to have the Sullivan mine reopen increased the headaches, Schmidt said. Talks continued Wednesday and a memorandum of agreement was signed by the two sidés shortly before midnight . Local 480 and the Kimberley workers voted Friday while office and technical employees, member@ of Local 9705, voted Thursday after- noon. Results were to be tabulated at the same time Friday evening, Sch- mid: said. Cominco public relations officer Carol Vanelli said she would not comment on the contract until. the ratification vote had been held. nit seeks $300,000 By CasNews Staff The Central Kootenay Health Unit is seeking a grant of about $300,000 for a health-promotion project that will pinpoint practical actions each of the three major communities in the Central Kootenay area — Castlegar, Nelson and Trail — can take to ad- dress major health concerns in the region, a health unit spokesman said. Actions could include a campaign to make people more aware of the causes of traffic accidents or a promotion to increase awareness of heart disease, Judy Toews said this week But the health unit wants to see each community design its own program, based on what community groups and individuals feel are the major health concegns of the com- munity, rather than have health unit officials prepare an overall plan and please see HEALTH page A2 By ED MILLS Staff Writer They're calling it the worst case of vandalism in the Kootenays in the last five years. **We entered the front door and I'll tell you, that would have been a picture for re paper.

Vandals wreck home in Glade That's the sight of wanton van- dalism that greeted Cross and her husband, Wayne, when they returned home July 12 from a 10- day vacation in Vancouver. But the worst thing, said Cross, was the water. “They plugged the sinks, so they filled up with water and flooded the place, so we walked into a swimming pool.”’ Though the final damage estimate isn’t in yet, Cross said it’ definitely be over $10,000.

Manning, 48, said there is a place for legislation and enforcement of rules — a method he calls ‘‘the cops and robbers approach to environmen- tal protection’’ — but his party is looking at less conventional means of ensuring industry does not pollute the atmosphere and water. Relying on laws to project the en- vironment usually leads to conflicts, he said. Manning added he was reluctant to discuss the environment since ‘‘a lot of politicians are jumping on the green bandwagon these days.’’ “We (Reform Party members) would rather say nothing or if we do say something, say something new," he said N Manning was in the West Kootenay to tour the area and speak at a num- ber of functions. He travelled to Creston Thursday night and toured the East Kootenay Friday. put the federal- review Celgar is undergoing to obtain approval for its proposed expansion in the context of one of the Reform Party's main platform planks: regional fairness Castlegar area residents should wonder whether Celgar and other B.C. pulp mills are being treated the same as eastern Canadian mills and being expected to meet the same en- vironmental standards, he said. Manning also questioned whether Castlegar is being treated fairly by Transport Canada which has announ- ced it is pulling air traffic controllers please seo MANNING page AZ.
