But the decision didn't ‘|. come without some debate. Veldman logged $1,300 in expenses at Winter Action 94. He should have submitted his proposal to attend the event before it happened, councillors noted, He -and officials from Shames Mountain Ski Corpo- ration alicnd the event to pro- - mote the ski hill and Terrace as winter tourism destinations. “T have no problem promot- ing. the city,’’ said councillor Gordon Hull. ‘‘But I do have a problem spending more money to promote Shames.”’ “Taxpayers probably feel they support the ski hill enough through their taxes,”’ he said, While in Prince George, councillor Ruth Hallock said she saw a Shames official on CKPG television promoting the mountain, “It was an opportunity for ‘the Shames spokesman to get a tremendous amount of in- formation across,’’ Hallock said. She also noted it’s easier to promote the ski hill than the city. ‘*There’s something tangible to sell. Is a lot easicr to sell than a Kermodei bear who's very elusive.” “Council approved Veld- man’s trip and expenses by a 5-1 vote, with Gordon Hull opposed, Arena ads debated BILLBOARD advertising could soon be coming to an arena near you.

Labour organizer gains vision of strike s IT COST Fred Glover about $300 to replace a pair of broken glasses bul the union business agent said he learned a lot while in Port Al- berni observing the strike by unionized workers against Mac- Millan Blocdel. Glover represents the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council in Terrace and went to Port Al- berni to observe the strike against MacBlo. First unionized construction workers picketed and then pulp mill workers went on strike to protest MacBlo’s hiring of a com- pany for an expansion project. Workers from that company, TNL, are represented by the Ca- nadian Iron, Stee! and Industrial Workers Union, a union that doesn’t belong to main line union organizations and one that's called a ‘‘rat union” but those who do. Glover was on the picket line Novy. 24 when violence broke out against RCMP officers and TNL officials who went there to deliver a court injunction aimed at preventing workers from blocking access to the construc. tion site, “T was trying to prevent one of our guys from geiting involved. But he got around me and when he flung his arm back, be hit my glasses and they broke when they hit the ground,” says Glover, # Give Your Man A Better { Body This Christmas... : 3 E 4 On the Tools To Do Sandblasting Equipment Spray Guns ° Polishers Fiber Glass Repair Materials Filler * Sandpaper Pinstriping Moulding * Hardener 202 Fred Glover “It was an accident, My nose is OK, Just a little bruise,”’ he con- tinued. Glover said he was able to sit in on union planning mcelings and to get an idea of what to do if labour action is ever needed in the northwest. “That’s not to say we condone the violence, we don’t. But workers have to be ready,’’ said Glover. Although Glover opposed the violence that did occur, he said he could understand the frustrations of striking workers, “They’ve been out for 60 days.

Glover added that organized labour is spending thousands of dollars to support the strike and thal the carpenters union has just committed $100,000 to the effort. TNL Construction hasn't yet received a contract to work in the northwest but has made a couple of bids. Yet workers from one company ~~ Tendev of Surey — are represented by CISIWU and its just received a contract worth more than $1 million to expand the Pacific Northern Gas complex on Hwy16, ‘I can’t say for sure but I prob- ably think we might put up a picket line there to tell the people of Terrace the rats are back up here,”’ said Glover. “PNG is a private corporation” but they are using our natural resources,”’ he said. kkk kk As a side note, had the RCMP riot squad gone to Port Alberni when Glover was there, there’s a chance he might have mun into his son-in-law, Glover’s is son-in-law an RCMP stationed in Duncan, close to Port Alberni, and is on that area’s riot squad.
