By CasNews Staff The Ministry of -Highways. has postponed construction of the final phase of the West Trail Approach, Highways Minister Stephen Rogers said Monday, Rogers said the $9 million cost of the final phase is “beyond the min- istry's current financial capabilities,” He added that the highways ministry is preparing a transportation plan for the province and the West Trail Approach will be included in the plan. The approach will receive funding “according to overall ministry pri- orities,” Rogers added. “In any like- lihood the project will be a 1989 or 1990 funding decision.” Rogers made the annountement just prior to meeting with Walter Siemens, president of the Rossland- Trail Social Credit Party, in Victoria. Siemens told the Castlegar News Tuesday that he “brought some things” to Rogers's attention that caused the minister to give more thought to the project. As well, Siemens presented Rog- ers with a three-page brief from the City of Trail emphasizing the impact Box 1200, Castlegar, B.C. VIN 341 365-7292 You're invited .

OFFICE AID Leela Andreeshh hes Changed Location For Income Tax or Accounting Hospital elidwelie Society elects members By CasNows Staff The Castlegar and District Hos- pital Society elected two members to the board at its annual general meeting last night. Teena Leitch —who was on the hospital board last year — and Pat Romaine were elected to the board. Richard Maddocks was also nom- inated, but did not receive enough votes to beat out either Leitch or Romaine. Romaine replaces Mar- garet Nickle on the board. The mem- bers are elected for a three-year term. The 20 members of the Society who turned out for Tuesday's meet- ing also passed a special. resolution which changed some of the hosiptal bylaws. Pending approval of the provincial health ministry the new bylaws will be in effect next year. Some of the changes include: e Society members must be 19 or older; e The position of president and vice-president change to chairman and vice-chairman; e The executive positions of chairman, vice-chairman and treas- urer can only be held for one three-year term by one person; e Society members must reside in electoral Areas I, J or the City of Castlegar; e The three people on the nomin- ating committee are appointed by the beard instead of two being elected at the annual geheral meeting and one being appointed; © The Society appoints the auditor instead of the hospital board.

Some are staying in acute- care beds and Talarico said the new facility will keep extended-care pati- ents out of acute-care beds. Dr. John Walton told the Society it ly, and we are also having excellent weekly teleconference sessions with the University of Calgary, as well as our UBC sessions.” The hospital also upgraded moni- toring equipment in the operating room.

Celgar contract talks continue By CasNews Staff There is still a media blackout on negotiations going on in Vancouver for the unions representing Celgar pulp mill workers. The Pulp, Papér and Woodworkers of Canada and the Canadian Paper- workers Union are currently negoti- ating with the province's pulp mills for a new contract. The current contract expires at the end of this month. The PPWC represents about 280 Celgar employees. and the union president of the Celgar local told the Castlegar News he cannot say how negotiations are going. “There is still a press blackout on negotiations,” Steve Miros said Tues- day from Vancouver. Despite the blackout, a Kamloops radio station has reported the latest offer from pulp companies. Apparently, the industry is de. manding a three-year agreement and has boosted a proposed signing bonus to $1.300 from $1,000. As well, the report stated the pulp companies hiked the hourly wage increase to 50 cents from 30 cents an hour and raised the third-year wage increase to three per cent from two per cent. The report also stated the unions don't want a signing bonus and are instead pushing for a two-year deal with a $1.75-an-hour wage hike in the first year and a 10-per-cent increase in the second. The contracts cover about 13,000 pulp workers across the province including the 280 PPWC Local No. 1 members at Celgar. Mike Espenhain, second vice-presi- dent of the Celgar PPWC local, would not confirm or deny the Kam- loops’ report. He also said there is a blackout and added he can't tell the press, anything.

(AP) — A meeting between Japanese anti-nu- ¢lear activists and officials of a high school whose symbol is a nuclear mushroom cloud broke up when the principal walked out after angrily declaring that the United States didn't start the Second World War, ‘The meeting Tuesday was called to discuss Japanese objections to the Richland High School symbol, which eelebrates the area's role in the production of U.S. nuclear arms — ineluding plutonium in the bomb that @estroyed Nagasaki in the Second World War. “We are not going to change our symbol because we believe it has something to do with the heritage of our community,” principal John Nash told a delegation of 35 Japanese who visited this town adjacent to the giant Hanford nuclear reservation. “I heard some things here that made me angry,” Nash said. “We can g0 back to history and recall a lot of things about the war and I could say @ome things here that would be very disruptive to you people, but I'm not about to do this,” Nash said. “But I'm going to say one thing and you should remember this. We did not start that war and I think that should end it.” Nash then walked out of the classroom, to the loud applause of some residents in the south-central Washington city, leaving the visitors to talk with faculty, students and reporters. “It was not our intention to pro- test,” said Masa Takubo, of Wash- ington, D.C., who served as inter- preter. “We wanted to present our views and we wanted to understand his views. “Unfortunately he had to leave in anger,” Takubo said. “I was embarrassed at my ex-prin- cipal,” said Marcia Cilian, a Richland High graduate. “He interpreted it the wrong way. They were not asking us to change it, just look at it another way.” Hours later, about 100 people who largely supported the Japanese visitors attended an evening with them at the local library. However, Mary Baird, of Richland, defended the dropping of atomic y prev greater slaughter of Americans and Japanese. “It’s unfortunate that a nuclear war occurred, but I will not accept the blame for my country,” she said Roting that the Japanese launched hostilities in the Pacific. The Japanese visitors have been in the United States since May, when they attended a United Nations special session on disarmament in New York. Since then, they have been touring U.S. nuclear facilities. Hanford was created by the Man- hattan Project during the Second World War to make plutonium for nuclear weapons. The jobs of up to 30,000 Richland residents are tied to the nuclear weapons industry, and eriticism of their role in that work is 8 sore point with many locals. Earlier this year, an attempt by some teachers and residents to elim- inate the mushroom cloud symbol of the Richland High School Bombers was overwhelmingly defeated in a student election, when students voted instead to officially adopt the ¢eloud as their symbol. The widespread media attentidn given that election attracted the Japanese delegation. Tuesday's meeting began quietly, with Nash escorting the visitors into @ classroom and welcoming them. But the meeting turned sour when Sakae Ito, 77, a survivor of the atomic attack on Hiroshima, made a lengthy speech about military sym- bolism and asked Nash to change the school symbol to something more peaceful “like cranes or rainbows.” “The mushroom cloud reminds us @f the tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki,” she said through the in- terpreter.
