The controversial ruling was prompted by Cominco's assurance that a $425-million modernization program for its lead-zinc smelter in Trail ding on and want the pen- alty there to ensure that they will," said Ken Georgetti, president of Local 480 of the United Steelworkers of Am- erica, which represents the 3,400 workers at the massive smelter. “The decision is a kick in the teeth for all working people in B.C. because the _ board's penalty had .estab- Landucci settles out of court VICTORIA (CP) — Nola Landucci, former B.C. human rights branch director, has agreed to a $24,000 settle- ment with the provincial government, Landucci, who was abrupt- ly replaced in July, said she was not fully satisfied with the amount — half her former salary of $48,000 a year — “but I took the advice of my lawyer that I would not have received more by going to court.” She had come under strong was —a ‘condition agreed to by the board in 1978. But B.C. Federation of La- bor executive-director Jim Kinnaird said Cominco has yet to start the moderni- zation program in the smel- ter which, he added, is the major area affected by lead contamination. “Without the penalty as- sessment there is no reason for Cominco to move ahead with this phase of the mod- ernization program,” he said. The program designed to substantially reduce the lead levels in the smelter features a sealed furnace, said Com- inco spokesman Richard Fish. NOT APPROVED ; But that furnace is only under preliminary study and has yet to be approved by the company, he admitted. If ap- proved, construction on the new system will begin in 1984 and be completed in 1986." lished a pi for the WCB regularly penalizing a company as big as Corainco.” Georgetti's suspicions were echoed by Cathy Wal- ker, a spokesman for the Canadian Association of In- dustrial, Mechanical and Al- lied Workers, which cur- rently is raiding the Steel- workers at Cominco opera- tions in Trail and Kimberley. “I'm incensed over this de- cision because the levy on Cominco was the most sig- nificant penalty assessment ever imposed for health and safety violations in North America and it served as an example for other employ- ers,” she said. ‘The two unions said they will appeal the board de- cision. , Ag well as ending the fine, ‘the (bdard also will refund ‘Cominco about $800,000, or about 80 per cent of the fines paid from 1978 and 1980.

GM PAYS $3 MILLION WASHINGTON (REU- TER) — General Motors has agreed to pay $3 mil- lion to a Virginia woman and her three children to settle a lawsuit filed after a accident two years ago, Prince William County court records show. The suit was filed by Wanda Lee Poe after she was badly injured when her 1972 Chevrolet Vega was struck from behind by another car and burned. She charged ‘GM was res- ponsible because of a faulty design of the car's fuel tank and sought $15 million in damages. -, from some of her own staff for not being as ag- gressive in pursuing human rights cases as her prede- cessor Kathleen Ruff. Landucci said she will re- ceive the accrued benefits, vacation and executive plaus monies still owing her in adaition to the $24,000. NOLA LANDUCCI Mills must sharpen pencils CasNews Staff B.C. sawmills are facing shrinking timber supplies and must begin to sharpen their pencils if they are'to head off increased unem- ployment in the forest indus- try, says Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy. D'Arcy told the Castlegar News Tuesday the current soft lumber market is only a short term problem which will be solved “when or if the interest rates come down.” He said the larger problem is “falldown” — or a re- duction in available timber supplies. “In general it’s a reduction in the number of cubic feet removed from a cutting area,” D'Arcy said. “It's a problem every- where and somewhat more acute in Castlegar,” he added.

Council Tuesday approved a committee of the whole recommendation to initiate negotiations for the land, commonly known as “the eliptical site.” Council agreed to instruct the city solicitor to offer the owner of the site the appraised value as pre- pared by the city appraiser. The owner, who is sched- uled to appear before council, will have one week to reply to the offer, after which council will move to exprop- riate the land. for unjust dis- missal,” she said.

At that point, the current rate of 56 per cent will in- crease one per cent each year yard a concern However, both Ald. Jim Gouk and Ald. Carl Loeblich expressed concern about the site. Gouk present a hazard for area residents,.He pointed out present access to the area is’ pays 66 per cent of policing costs for the first five RCMP members, but 85 per cent for every member over that number. Moore said it means Castlegar pays about 67 per cent of RCMP costs, with the federal government picking up the rest. However, with the freeze on police costs through 1982, Castlegar will save the $50,000 it budgeted for next year, she noted. “This agreement is very not proceed any further with the purchase until it has re- ceived input from the public and particularly Woodland area residents. Gouk said the land is zoned such that council could buy the lot and put itworks yard there without ever going toa public hearing. He said he's concerned why council would go to the trouble of an ap- praisal and legal fees when it doesn’t know if the public even wants the yard there. Loeblich said he's worried traffic from the yard will Asks BC Timber “to clean up act CasNews Staff B.C. Timber has been asked to clean up its act at the Ci pulp pond to the pollution control permit. The letter from the PCB notifying council of the — especially the foul-smell- ing odor the mill emits. Castlegar council voted Tuesday toask the provincial Pollution Control Board to ensure Celgar upgrades its pollution control system to reduce the foul odor. Celgar’s pollution control permit, granted in Dec., 1978, is under reconsidera- tion by the PCB. The PCB has asked the company tu update its air effluent stan- dards and discharge into the Columbia River. However, the new permit would not update odor stan- dards, and that did not sit well with council. Ald. Len Embree noted city staff receive as many complaints about the mill's odor as any other complaint, “if not more.” He suggested citizens making those com- plaints would want council to make representation to the PCB to have Celgar update the odor standards. City works allows 80 days to respond, he said, but the let- ter was mailed Aug. 31 — meaning council has just one day to reply. It bothers me that we get these notices from PCB on applications that say we miss the boat if we don't get it in the next day, he said. council and a apartment complex for the area cannot go ahead unless access is improved. He suggested a public works yard will present more traffic than the apartments. However, Ald. Charles Co- hoe said the apartments would create more traffic problems than the yard. Co- hoe also said the issue had been thoroughly covered in the recently adopted com- munity plan. ~ Ald. Len Embree agreed, noting residents would much rather have the city works yard there than a light industrial business — the area is zoned light industrial. -But Gouk stressed -resi- \.+dents he spoke with weren't ,even aware of the plan. to small muni- cipalities,” she said. ‘I am particularly pleased we have ° a 10-year contract and know where we are going.” The new agreement re- places a five-year contract which expired last March. In other police-related news, Moore said the RCMP have indicated they will need a new building within the next two years. Council must decide if the federal govern- ment will build it for the RCMP only, or if the city wants to take part and cons- solidate all emergency ser- vices, such as police, fire and ambulance in the single facil- ity. RCMP will be coming to council with facility require- ments in the near future, Moore said. the mills in the area, he ex- plained. Atco. Lumber purchaséd | the Hadikin, mill for the tpn; ber rights and D'Ai ahd said it was unfortunate Atco bought ? Hadikin and “not the other way around. It was one of those real difficult things.” However, he said he couldn't blame either the Hadikin brothers for selling or the mill employees for feeling they had been “hard done by.” D'Arcy met with about 25 former Hadikin employees in Robson Saturday night and told them there will be no net loss of jobs in the West Kootenay due to the mill's closure. When the local econ- omy picks up the former emptoyees should be able to find jobs. DYArcy also told the Castlegar News it's up to “local mills to work with “sharper pencils” to make grdater utilization of timber supplies, thus maintaining and improving job levels. Still, D'Arcy predicted a general reduction in employ- ment in the plywood produc- tion across the province in the next few years. “Every- one has known this for quite some time,” he said, adding the reduced activity will be “phased in.” One answer is to update mills, D'Arcy said, though he admitted this could be ex- pensive. “Times are getting tougher and we've got to work a little harder.” ttrotoete Continue cuts as market slumps VANCOUVER (CP) — The slump in the lumber market has dumped a_ high-flying part of corporate life for executives at one forest celled, company operations are being reviewed to trim spending and production lay- offs have been announced.

Tel rates on way up VANCOUVER (CP) — Tel- ephone rates in B.C. are on the way up but pay telephone calls still will cost a dime, the, Canadian Radio-television million in the first four months of 1982, Gorden MacFarlane, B.C chairman and chief” did Mon- and T Commission has ruled. The CRTC announced Monday it has granted B.C. Telephone Co. an interim rate increase of 13 per cent, effective Jan. 1, 1982. B.C. Tel had asked for in- creases of 15 per cent on residential service and 20 per cent on business lines, in- formation system access lines and service charges. Vancouver customers now pay $10.40 a. month for tel- ephone rental. The figure will rise to $11.75 under the new rate. The increase is expected to bring B.C. Tel an extra $17.7 money to spend about $450 million in 1982 to expand and ‘improve its telephone sys- tem. “This interim decision- - means we can press forward with attempts to finance this major expenditure,” MacFar- land said. The CRTC refused B.C. Tel’s request for an interim increase in pay telephone rates to 25 cents from 10 cents, saying it would be im- practical to implement such a change on an interim basis. About 60 individuals’ and groups had filed interven- tions against B.C. Tel's appli- needs the ° cation, most of them arguing that.,an increase was, not justified considering the quality of telephone service in B.C.
