But he added council members will attend the next band council session when one is scheduled. Chief Venn said his people currently depend mainly on trapping for their livelihood, and their continued ability to do so in the face of development is a prime consideration now. Town growth to date "hasn't hurt us at all the way they're going," the chief said. If the reserve does develop its own shopping mall, he predicts there will be some competition with town merchants. "But I don't think it will affect the town," he said.

Besides, "we've been buying from them for the chief added. Chief Miles Venn of the La Ronge band said soil testing in connection with that possibility has already been conducted, and a government funded feaibility study is under way. But, the new town study also makes provision for development of a shopping mall within its boundaries, Hegland said. "There's no "proof yet that the shopping centre is going in on the reserve we're not going to sit back and wait for somebody else," Hegland said of town plans. "We're not opposed to one on the reserve.

We're just interested in seeing one go," he said. He said he is not "totally satisfied" with the existing level of consultation between town officials to negotiate with their counterparts on the Indian reserves which lie at the town limits. There is a high percentage population of native and treaty Indian people living in the La Ronge district, he noted. Significantly, within reserve boundaries there is a good deal of sandy land which might be preferable to the rocky land in town which makes blasting a feature of construction activity. "The town should make every effort to negotiate with the band," Collier said.

An indication of the role the reserve might play in development of the La Ronge district might be suggested by a current study the band has launched of the reserve's po- tential as a mall site. discussion of the plan, and more recently, town officials have received several submissions on the scheme, and will discuss them next week, Hegland said. Ken Collier, a University of Regina professor of social work who lives in La Ronge, was the author of one of those submissions. In an interview this week, Collier expressed about how council will face the "dilemma" of whom tocater to in plotting the town's future growth. The dilemma, qs formulated by Collier, is centred around whether councillors will develop an aesthetically-pleasing plot of lakeshore land at Birds Point in the east end of town as a council meeting Thursday, Hegland said.

Hegland said "a lot will depend" in the planning sphere on what recommendations on uranium development are made to-the Saskatchewan government by Judge E.D. Bayda's Cluff Lake board of inquiry. "La Ronge stands to gain a fair amount from uranium development," the mayor said. Witty's plan for the lakeshore community of about 1,800 people which he has described as steering a middle course between dramatic change and the status quo contemplates growth to a level, Hegland said. It makes provision for further expansion, and if the luxury residential subdivision, or as a recreation area.

The first option would provide an attractive tax base to the town one which Collier said council should forego. The costs involved in servicing a subdivision on a rocky base would outweigh the advantage of lakeshore residential development, he said. Also, "placing suburban bungalows on prime shoreline property merely guarantees that the trees will be bulldozed down, and every effort will be made to transform that area into something that is in contest with nature Collier's submission said. Collier said he believes Witty's study "leans toward the status quo more than dramatic change." He emphasized the need for Tchorzewski eiemng By John Harr.ple of the Star-Phoenix The potential impact of northern uranium resource development on the future of La Ronge is an important consideration in devising a new municipal development plan, town mayor Mel Hegland says. "We've got that (uranium development) at the back of our minds, definitely," Heg-land said of the climate in which his town's future growth is being planned.

A final draft of the plan was completed about a month ago. It was prepared by Winnipeg-based planning consultant David Witty, and will be discussed and possibly, approved in principle, at a Officers pay tribute to King Police officers from across Canida were in Saskatoon this morning to pay tribute to RCMP Constable Thomas Brian King, who was shot and killed this week while on regular patrol duty. King, 40, was the seventh police officer in Canada to die a violent death this year. The incident has prompted renewed calls for reinstatement of the death penalty for murderers of policemen and other law enforcement officers. The funeral service was held at 10 a.m.

at St. Peter and St. Paul Ukrainian Catholic Church in Saskatoon. Following the service, the body was transported to the RCMP cemetary in Regina. In addition, RCMP spokesman Sgt.

Discussions among rural, municipal and government officials, which began in 1975, culminated this month in member votes. While city council unanimously supported the proposed merger, rural and urban municipalities surrounding Saskatoon accepted the move in a slim 28 to 27 vote.

And more than 18 municipalities were not represented at that meeting. "The close vote is certainly one of the major factors (for the decision), but that's not the only factor," Tchorzewski said. "I have been on a continuous basis in the last several months receiving individual letters from municipalities in the rural region expressing either concern or outright opposition. "The issue is, that in order for a major change like this to happen, I believe that there needs to be substantial support for the idea. I don't con government announces it will give a green light to uranium development, "we'll be ready to roll," the mayor explained.

The announcement could signal to La Ronge a "real influx of people," he said. The consultant's study ad-resses itself only to the next five years because resource-related decisions might have a dramatic effect on town growth in the near future. It also provides for the preservation of aesthetic aspects of the community which are important to tourism, and foresees La Ronge developing into a major service and government administrative centre for the north, Witty has 'said earlier.

Tchorzewski is not ruling out the possibility of a merger at a later date.

However the present time, negotiations will begin to develop a new service program for Saskatoon alone. "I do have considerable sympathy for the City of Saskatoon's wishes to improve the level of their community health services. The health department negotiators are going to be prepared to resume talks with the city to develop a proposal for improving the services in the city." He added: "I think it's clear that the services in the city need improving. The city wishes to improve them and we want to help to the extent that we can." The minister said negotiations will begin "as soon as the city makes the request." Regarding a future merger, he explained: "I want to hold open the option for the rural health region to merge with the city at a later date if there is an indication of a substantial rural support. It could be a possibility down the road we'll see what happens."
