He added that the firefighters are conaerned about the wind, but said there was no threat to the community

of Lardeau.

There are now 271 people working at Lost Ledge Creek, using 70 pieces of equipment, including two helicopters, to try to contain the fire.

A helicopter tour over the area earlier this. week, showed much work needed to be done. to bring the southern part of the fire under control.

Fire boss Bill Pearson and line boss Terry Watson, both part of the overhead team, were concerned as they warned some of the on the above the fire to clear the area.

Small pockets of blazing brush could occasionally be seen below the voluminous clouds of yellow-grey smoke

from the trees.

in a compre- hensive report released this week analyzing the forest products industry and forestry resources in the Central Kootenay. tur Rice

The report, prepared by. ‘forestry consultants Reid Collins and Associates and Reed and A i for the Central Kootenay Manpower. Adjustment Committee (CKMAC), is phase one of a forest sector devel- opment strategy for the Regional Dis- trict of Central Kootenay.

____The_manpower adjustment_commit- tee was established to help relieve the Central Kootenay’s severe unemploy- ment problems and stabilize and im- prove long-term employment opport- unities.

Charlie Cohoe, chairman of the com-. mittee, said Friday one possibility for an expansion ‘at the Castlegar mill might be to ‘integrate another system with the existing one to.make multi-ply paperboard."*

The report

“It's an overall assessment without

biases to any firm or organization.””

The report reviews the forestry resources in the Arrow and Kootenay Lake timber supply areas and indicates that ‘‘markets exist for many specialty lumber products that could be pro- duced from the available resource.’”

Such products, the report suggests, could include ‘‘cedar panelling and siding, spruce siding and fascia, mech- anically graded Douglas fir, pine edge glued boards and furniture compon- ents, Japanese specifications in-hem- lock and possibly spruce, and home centre items.’

Other investment possibilities, in ad- dition to the mill expansion at Castle- gar, include a new oriented strand board mill and a bleached Chemical Thermal Mechanical Pulp (CTMP) mill similar to that operating at Quesnel.

The report estimates these and other projects could provide anywhere from 435 to 530 direct-jobs. .

One of the~ more as- ‘pects of the report is the recommend- ation that no new mills be built in the region “‘unless existing industry,

could mean the addition of 80-100 jobs.

Cohoe added that a ‘‘ripple eff from _an_ expansion would “mean ad- ditional. increases_in employment re- lated industries, which’ the report identifies as.‘‘logging and sectors that provide supplies and services.’;-

The report ‘‘is basically an analysis of what is out there,’’ Cohoe said.

Fifteen new fires reported

By CasNews Staff

Fifteen new forest fires started °

overnight Friday in the Nelson forest district bringing the total number of fires burning to 224, a spokesman for the Ministry of Forests said Saturday.

“Nine were caused by lightning and six were man-caused,"’ said Fred Thiessen at the Nelson office.

He said 28 of the fires are not contained.

In the Arrow district alone, seven new fires started overnight Friday, bringing the total number to 64 fires covering 1,336 hectares.

Eight of those fires are not contained ‘and the expenditure for Friday was $79,468.

The total expenditure for the Arrow district to date is $671,092.

The number of people working on the fires in the Arrow district is 454.
