Teachers delay court action By CasNews Staff Castlegar teachers have decided to postpone court action against the Castlegar school board over the layoff of school lunch-hour super. visors.

He said an arbi- trator hasn't yet been offi- cially confirmed. The talks will follow a two-day wildcat strike at the Slocan mill June 11 and 12. The dispute was caused by the company’s contracting out of log scaling to an area non-union firm: Becker Scal- ing and Contracting. Until about a year ago, log sealing in B.C. was done by the provincial government under the Forests Act, but He said before log scaling was done by the government, it was carried out by IWA members. And, says Offer- mann, that's why IWA work- ers at the Slocan mill are against the non-union con- tractor. But Ike Barber, president of Slocan Forest products, says scalers at the Slocan mill have never been IWA mem- bers. “No IWA member was ever involved in that scale,” said Barber in a telephone interview from his Richmond office Friday. “We've re- placed one contractor with another contractor.” Barber said the strike, which the company considers illegal, was stopped because both union and management recently the weighing and classifying of logs was pri vatized, said Offermann. Tourist Alert agreed to “accelerated” ar- bitration hearings. Offerman pointed out the IWA’s loss of the two log sealing positions preceeds a mill modernization plan in which a manned planer chain will be replaced by a mechan ized planer sorter. He said while the workers at the mill supported the move, which increases the mill's efficiency, an estimated 16 jobs will be lost as a result. “We're going to have people that will be laid off as a result of it. That's why people look very closely at jobs that could be included in the bargaining unit,” said Of ferman, adding that the workers “felt betrayed by the company.” Youth invited Raspberry Lodge will once VANCOUVER (CP) — Tourist Alert for Saturday, June 29.

The regional board has ap- proved a 200 per cent hike for rezoning applications: from $100 last year to $300 this year.

Henderson said every re zoning application costs the regional district between $700 and $1,100. If the appli cation does not go to a public hearing, the regional district will refund $100.

The businessman Jim Pattison, said after buying the car at Sotheby's he does not feel “any affinity with the Beatles” but bought the car to have it on display at the Canadian fair. “I came here to buy this car,” he told Reuters. “We wanted it for the fair. We wanted someting that's fun for young people at the fair.” Bidding for the Rolls-Royce opened at $80,000 and quickly rose by hundreds of thousands of dollars, drawing gasps and cheers as it reached $1 million. There was hushed silence as it climbed in fractions of seconds to $1.25 million, then $1.5 million, and finally cheers and applause as it went over the $2 million mark Beatle John Lennon bought the car in 1966. It was used by the Beatles from 1966 until 1969 and then loaned to the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and other friends of the Beatles. In 1977, Lennon and Yoko Ono donated the Rolls-Royce to the American Cooper-Hewitt Museum to aid its fund-raising efforts. The body of the Rolls-Royce was painted in psychedelic patterns in 1967 by an English mystic friend of Lennon. The body has plychrome scroll work and floral motifs on gold and yellow background with red and blue fenders and hubcaps. The car, which was on display outside Sotheby's action rooms in New York, drew crowds of onlookers. One onlooker, Ron Altaville, from Manhattan, when told the car was sold for over $2 million, said: “What are they — crazy? This is disgusting.” Another onlooker said: “It isn’t worth it. Anyone buying this has got to have one hell of a lot of money.” Pattison said the car will go on a tour of the United States during this year be in Canada in time for the Expo 86 fair in which he said 40 countries will be taking part. old rate, called in water bombers to help battle Nakusp region forst that there are 15 fires in the Nakusp area finding ‘anybody can apply cost 30 cents per capita.

Waterland said he had not yet read the report, but the opposition said the minister has long been aware of its contents Bob Williams (NDP-Vancouver East) said in the legislature that the report shows “that there has been law-breaking in his ministry, lawpreaking under that minister, impossible pressures put/n_ professional staff.” Waterland replied: “State: d allegations by the onvebgmen dive necess: hat they are correct statements.” investigation into comptwigts by the Nish Council, representing Indian bairts-living north of Prince Rupert, about the degradation of forests in the area Westar holds a government-issued tree farm license, entitling the company to cut trees in the area but also requiring it to nurture new trees for future generations. The Nishgas say the company has not done so. The report said the ministry has condoned or tolerated the company’s practices of leaving usable timber to rot on the ground, logging the best trees and leaving behind poor quality timber. The ministry is required bf the Forest Act to constantly monitor and supervise the company's forest management Friedmann said the Forests Ministry ‘acted contrary to law in not fulfilling its statutory responsibilities,” and in approving a company plan that permits Westar to harvest timber below the utilization standard used to calculate the allowable annual cut The report said the ministry also “acted contrary to law in fettering the Chief Forester’s statutory authority to establish the allowable annual cut for the license area.” “I believe that the ministry has failed in its statutory mandate to ensure that the forests are managed in such a way that they will continue to produce timber in the long-term,” Friedmann wrote.
