Friesen continued to say that until the engineering and the plans are complete the total costs of the project are uncertain

The project, which is sched- uled to begin later this fall, is expected to employ about four people after completion which is scheduled for April 1994. Howev- er, Friesen wouldn’t comment on the exact location of the project

School board preparing employees for the worst

KAREN KERKHOFF Sun staff

School Board Trustees from District No. 9 have decided to wail another week before pub- licly releasing their 1993/1994 budget, in order to consult with teachers and support staff.

Chairperson, Gordon Turner, Said the weeks grace will allow him to meet with employees in the district and outline the budgetary plan. He is hoping to break the news to in-house staff before any media becomes aware of upcom- ing plans. “During the week ahead we will be meeting with-employee groups, sending out information letters and let everyone in our sys-

tem know what is happening so when it is reported in the press everyone will know.”

The school district is faced with an almost $900,000 budget short- fall, which Turner said will result in cuts in all departments. “There will be a variety of cuts across the board. We will make it so.all areas are touched. Our biggest budget is in the teaching staff, so naturally we will see the biggest cuts there.”

Tumer said the district's strategy to deal with the shortfall will involve starting out with the worse case sce- nario with the hopes of being able to soften the blow as the budget is grad- ually worked out. “Our worst predic- tions will be listed in the budget. We are hoping to soften that up within

There are Propositions in place that might Mean come May or June we might be able to do something.”

The budget is required to be submitted to the Ministry of Edu cation by April 26, however, Turn. er said that would be an impossibility. There will be a pub- lic meeting April 16 at 7 p.m. at the School District No. 9 board office. During the meeting there will be three readings of the bud- get bylaw. The first reading will be a formal reading, the second read- ing will allow comments from the trustees and will also be voted upon by the trustees. If the second reading is passed there; will then bea third formal reading.

~Council under pressure

to favor local contractors

SHARLENE IMHOFF Sun Editor

City Council was given a mes- sage Tuesday night during its Teg ular meeting when a delegation consisting of Len Embree, busi Ness representative for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Niners: along with more than a dozen carpenters and electricians appeared before the board. The message was simple and straight- forward—favor the hiring of local contractors for the Downtown Revitalization project, and other future capital projects the city endeavors .to complete

Although Embree stressed that the issue is not one of union versus non-union, he hoped that both the city and downtown businesses would be supportive of workers who live and spend their money in the area. "I think it's common sense. I can't understand why any politician or any business person wouldn't want that proposal. We want to be pro-active, we don't want to be negative. And we don't want to get into a fight."

Conroy blames budget woes on media

TRAIL TIMES

The New Democrats may be in hot water over the provincial budget, but it’s not the numbers that are a problem, says Ross- land-Trail MLA Ed Conroy.

“We have received very, very poor publicity,” Conroy told the annual general meeting of his constituency association on Sun- day. "For some reason the Oppo- sition seems to have the ear of the

Plea postponed for two charged in ram kill

Crowns case against two Fer- nie men charged with slaying a tame world class Big Horn ram out of season and ulawful pos- session of a carcass has been adjourned until May 19 without plea.

Neither Bill Cunliffe nor Ronald Tessman appeared in B.C. Provincial court in Nelson Monday. The two are faced with Possible jail sentances and fines totalling $30,000.

The trophy ram was killed in late February at the Salmo-Cre ston Summit feeding station and was the subject of a huge outcry

media.” Conroy went through the budget claiming the tax increases will affect few people and argu- ing that the reduction in the deficit is the best that can reason- ably be achieved in the current economy. "Who are all these peo- Ple on this tax revolt? We didn't raise taxes on small business and only the richest eight per cent of the population will be paying more income tax,” he said.

“Is this tax revolt real or imag- ined? The sales tax is up, but it is still lowest in the country. Those earning $60,000-plus will pay, on average, $285 more a year. I don’t think that is too onerous.”

Conroy said B.C. still has the sec- ond lowest taxes in the country Meanwhile, the deficit has been reduced from $2.4 billion in the year his party came to power to $1.95 bil- lion in the fiscal year just ended and $1.5 billion in the coming year

“We would have to close down half the hospitals and get rid of half the doctors and half the nurs- es in B.C. (to eliminate the deficit immediately). That is unaccept- able. We have to do it in degrees,” he said. “We have pared the deficit by 35 per cent If Brian Mulroney had cut the deficit by 35 per cent he would be a national savior.”

Cominco cleared as Spill charges dismissed

TRAIL TIMES

Charges against Cominco under the Waste Management and Fisheries Acts were dismissed in Kimberley by Judge D. Wau rynchuck in a decision April 14.°>

He said the Crown “failed to prove there was harm to the envi ronment or any notion of harm by the company

The charges arose when mine waste water was allowed to flow into Mark Creek, located near the Sullivan Mine. The creek runs

though the city of Kimberley via St. Mary's River. The spill occurred Aug.1, 1991

But Waurynchuck said in his summation that “the evidence ‘is clear, no one took samples of water from Mark Creek or St Mary's River, upstream or down Stream, before or after the spill

In fact, the judge said, a great deal of evidence was proguced at the trial to show that Cominco used reasonable care and dili gence in carrying out its opera ons on the day of the spill

If favored support was not made for local workers, Embree hinted of a possible political hot potato oecurning in the downtown

“If we have to organize in polit ical ways. ..or organize against the businesses, which we don’t want to do...It just doesn't make sens« why we would support local busi nesses who aren't being recipro cal,” said Embree.

The issue of favoritism to local contractors surfaced most recently with the tendering of the second Phase of the Downtown Revitaliza tion process, which council is esti mating will cost close to $1 million
