kilometres of shoreline and killing
countless birds, fish and marine

Winlaw residents
discuss economy

By JOELRUSS

The Regional District of Central Kootenay’s Slocan
Valley Economic Commission held its final public meeting
in its economic strategy development ‘series on May 9.
About 40 Winlaw-area residents gathered at the Winlaw
Hall to share their views and ideas on directions. for
economic diversification for the valley.

The intent of the 12-week Economic Strategy project,
which began on March 22, is to implement the Slocan
Valley Development Plan ratified in 1985, said John
Gower, an independant consultant hired by the com-
mission to prepare the economic strategy.

The public meeting series was intended to supplement
public input that Gower has received through question-
naires he distributed in the valley and more than 40 private
interviews that he conducted,

Meetings were previously held in New Denver, Slocan
and Crescent Valley.

Among the participants at the Winlaw meeting were
Jack Rottis, representing the Nelson office of Employment
and Immigration Canada. Rottis told the meeting that
social“assistance and unemployment insurance represent
rather large and important financial inputs in the Slocan
Valley economy. Currently 19 per cent of the Nelson of-
fice’s Ul payments go to valley residents, while 16 to 17 per
cent of the district's labor force reside in the valley.

Rottis added that 90 per cent of businesses in B.C. em-
ploy fewer than 20 people, while 63 per cent have fewer than

five

Rottis said he felt that small business will be the key to
the economic development of* the valley. New small
businesses have in fact been started in the valley recently, he
said, with a high rate of success

Other participants made a number of presentations on
their ideas for economic development. The key themes in-
cluded: the need for local decision-making control of the
valley’s public land base; the need for community identity
and action, rather than mere independant entrepreneurial
activity; a shift of the logging/wood-manufacturing in.
dustry to a selection-harvesting/ value-added basis; the fur-
ther, controlled development of a ‘cultural tourism.””

At the Winlaw meeting — as at earlier meetings in the

series, according to Gower — there was a great deal of sup-
port for the tourism idea. Numerous participants stressed
the need to maintain a balance between development and
cultural/environmental preservation in the valley. Several
people put an emphasis on the need to maintain *‘pristine
viewsheds"’ on the forested mountain walls of the valley's
main corridor.

Several people put forward ideas for agriculturally
based businesses: a certified goat-milk marketing and
distribution co-op; a certified organic vegetable marketing
co-op; a community-based business that would export
locally harvested bracken fern ‘‘fiddleheads"’ to a waiting
market in Japan.

One man said that in the-last-year 20 pieces of un-
developed homesite land were purchased in the valley, and

‘building therefore a major di of
the economy. His comments related to those of several
people who expressed that money cannot currently be
readily borrowed — as mortgages or business loans — from
the south valley's single credit union. Each of these people
felt that alternatives, either valley-based co-operatives Or
government-funded programs, are vitally needed.

A number of people eas the potential value of
the blish: of
services, including poukinsdlaa. accounting, secretarial
services, and marketing. i

‘One man suggested thefe was a need for a building
complex in the Winlaw area that could house various social
service offices, a field office for the Ministry of Forests, a
clinic, and small businesses. Others felt that currently
existing but little used valley-buildings could serve these
functions

A thread that ran through much that was expressed by
the participants was the need to not only generate money in
the valley but to keep it circulating if the valley

The Winlaw meeting, as with the other three meetings
held, ‘was chaired by Bruce Cottingham of Silverton. Also
on hand were Bob Barkely, Area H representative to the
RDCK and Russ Youngreen an appointee to the develop-
ment commission.

Gover’s economic. strategy-document is to-be com-
pleted by late June and will be made available to the public.

ts U.S. per pound compared to 36.2
cents in 1987. During February and
March of this year, zinc hit a high of 95
cents U.S. per pound and is currently
selling at 85 cents U pound —

‘Thursday's annual meeting that the
smelter’s location requires it to have
extremely low power costs to be com-
petitive with osher zinc and lead
smelters.

Cominco has been carrying on
Giscussions with the provincial gover-
nment for more than a year régarding
relief from water rental.

“If we cannot proceed at Trail we
will pursue other alternatives,”’
Hallbauer said. ic

He explained that its location far
from tide water results in high costs for
transpoAing both smelter feed and
smelter product.

“We do have very lbw power costs
but these have been more than doubled
by the water rental fees imposed by the
provincial government," he said.

Hallbauer also reported—that-con-
struction of the new lead smelter at
Trail continues with start-up
scheduled for Septembér

VANCOUVER (CP) — Two of the

in the United States have described the
Vancouver Stock Exchange as a finan-

“Like most large North American
cities, Vancouver has a serious garbage
disposal problem, but this one is
unique,” says writer Joe Queenan in
the latest edition of Forbes Magazine.

“The garbage is the Vancouver

average.

Hallbauer said copper, Cominco’s
next most important product,
averaged $1.18 per pound compared to
80.9 cents in 1987. Copper reached a
peak of $1.68 per pound in 1988 and is
currently selling at $1.27 per pound.
Like zinc, copper was considerably
higher than last year’s average.

Lead prices were stable during the
year, but gold and silver prices were
weaker.

“Prices for minor metals — cad-
mium, indium and bismuth were all
strong and contributed to our ear-
nings,”” Hallbauer said.

Cominco’s first quarter earnings
were excellent at $70.5 million or 86
cents per common share — a con-
siderable improvement over the first
quarter of last year.

Hallbauer also told shareholders
that the restructuring and debt reduc-
tion program that was initiated in 1986
has been successful. The sale of non-
core assets was completed last year

“Our return on sales and assets has
improved dramatically as a result of
disposing of low ‘return assets and
closing ‘non-profitable operations,”
Hallbauer said.

He added that the strong metal
prices have meant that debt has con-
tinued to decrease despite heavy
capital expenditures on new miines and
smelter modernization. Cominco’s
total long term debt at the end of the
first quarter was $285.5 million, a
reduction of $57 million since year-
end.

With improved earnings Cominco

“With the lower price of gold, the
failure of a number of gold mines to
achieve projected results, and the

in loss

MONTREAL (CP) — Air Canada
has reported. anew loss of $11.5 million
or 16 cents a share for the first quarter
of 1989 — a sharp improvement from
the $33.5 million or 87 cents a share
lost a year earlier

“The first quarter is traditionally a
loss period for the airline industry,”’
Air Canada president Pierre Jeanniot
said ina statement Tuesday

“We are satisfied that we have done
substantially better than last year at
this time.””
enues for the
quarter of 1989 were $829 million, up
2.7 per cent, while operating expenses
of $854.8 million rose one per cent

“This kind of performance in the
first quarter is pretty well what
everybody expected,’’, said Ted
Larkin, an analyst with Bunting War-
burg in Toronto.

quarter this year against Pacific
Western Airlines, it shows that Air
Canada is holding its own in.a very
competitive environment.”
