July 27, 1986 Strike ends in north PRINCE GEORGE, B.C. after the International Woodworkers of America and northern companies reached agreement Friday on the key issue of contracting out. The deal ended the strike in the north, where about 2,500 workers at 28 mills have been on strike for three days.

Castlegar's Felicity R puts on the initial stages of makeup as she prepares for her transformation into The Storyteller of the Spirit Lodge in the General Motors pavilion at Expo. ACTRESS continued trom front poge Since there is no solid image forming surface such as a movie screen, Rego and the other actors can walk around and even through the Holavision Images. From the more than 100 actors who auditioned for. The Storyteller, Rego said 20 were called back and asked to take part in a workshop — a move she said is unusual in the weeding-out process that leads to an acting role. After the workshop, those 20 then re-auditioned wearing masks and costumes similar to that of The ler. . atte casting committee, which included Bill Cranmer, chairman of the U'mista Cultural Society, Doug Cranmer, an Indian artist and hereditary chief, and Wendy Grant of eam Weavers Society, had no idea of the age, sex or ethnic background of the actors auditioning. The somewhat surprising result was five young women — and two young men - chosen to perform the part of an elderly man Rego called the audition audition she has ever been to. Appearing with Rego in the Spirit Lodge are Evan Adams from the Sliammon Indian Reserve near Powell River, Paul Jarrett of Halifax, Sandra _Ferens of Winnipeg, Pat Andrew Keith of Victoria, Pamela Dangelmaier of Vancouver and Monique Bourgeois of Edmonton. - Rego, whose acting credits include a minor role in a Victoria pr ion of s A Mid Night's Dream and stand-in work for Talia Shire in Rocky IV, which was filmed in Vancouver, supplements her professional acting with part-time work as a drama and English teacher.

She said she will go back to part-time teaching after Expo is over, but will be constantly searching for more parts to play. “My foot's always been in the door. I'm always trying to get something.” And you might see her around town. Rego said she got her best suntans in the West Kootenay and comes home often to see her parents in Castlegar. “the best, most fair” “It was pretty repr sible behavior,” he said. “It's dangerous to manoeuvre a vessel in that fashion.

Earlier, a handful of Zod- iacs zipped back and forth in front of the warship, playing a cat-and-mouse game with police inflatables. Workers to take cuts PORTLAND, Ore.

Islamic Jihad, or Islamic Holy War, said none of the other Americans they hold will be released and that there will be “grave consequences” unless its demand for the release of 17 comrades jailed in Kuwait is met. It called the release of Jenco the “last gesture” of goodwill on the group's part. Politicians argue WESTLOCK, Alta.

Lottery fight settled By LINDA DROUIN MONTREAL (CP) Louise Lavigueur wants to go home. The 16-year-old girl, who has been fighting her family for four months to get a share of a multimillion-dollar lot. tery jackpot, said Friday the squabble has made her mis- erable. She said she is drop ping all legal action so she can return to her father, sis- ter and brothers. Her father, Jean-Guy Lavi gueur, 51, said he won't give his prodigal daughter a cent of his share of the $7.6-million winnings but “T'll take eare of her just like all my children.” “What's important to me is the love of my family, not money,” Louise told re porters summoned to a home in working-class east-end Montreal. She has been living in the brick row house with an uncle since she launched her lawsuit claiming $1.2 million. The fight started after Louise argued that she should have shared in the winnings with her father, an unemployed laborer, her sis ter Sylvie, 19, brothers Yves, 18, and Miche!, 15, and uncle Jean-Marie Daudelin, 44, be cause she had always con tributed to their lottery pool. But the week of the win, her father had locked her out of the house after a fight, she told Quebec Superior Court, and she was unable to con tribute her $2 share The Lavigueur family first made headlines after the March 29 win when they turned over $1.2-million of the Lotto 649 windfall to William Murphy, an unem ployed stranger who had found the lucky ticket in Lavigueur’s lost wallet and returned it. “WITHOUT CONDITIONS’ “I want my daughter back but without conditions,” said Lavigueur. “Tl give my heart but that’s it,” he said as his re. pentant daughter bowed her head quietly beside fim at the wooden kitchen table. “I don't owe anybody any thing and I won't pay her lawyer's fees,” he said “Tl just love her like all my other children.” The family is scheduled to meet a judge Aug. 4 where proceedings will be officially stopped, Louise said The Lavigueurs were asked whether money can buy happiness. “My life hasn't changed a bit,” the father replied, saying he took a trip to the Caribbean after the win and has bought a new suburban house, not yet paid for. “And when all this is over all I want is peace and quiet,” he grumbled “No, money doesn't buy hapiness,” concluded Louise Explorers head home WOODS HOLE, Mass. (AP) — Scientists, techni cians and U.S. navy officers completed their 12-day ex ploration of the Titanic and sailed for home Friday with more photos and videotape of the shipwreck. The deep-sea research team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the navy was expected to arrive in this Cape Cod port on Monday, said spokesman Anne Rabushka. Reseachers left the site 450 nautical miles southeast of Newfoundland on Thursday after completing the 11th and final dive in the three-man submarine Alvin. Chief scientist Robert Bal. lard, who relayed details of each day's dive to reporters via ship-toshore telephone conversations with Woods Hole officials, won't talk to reporters until he arrives in port, Rabushka said, and the new photographs and video tape won't be released until Wednesday One batch of film, including color slides and a videotape. was flown ashore and re leased to the media July 18. It ineluded close-up shots of the coral-encrusted deck, ici cles of rust and a dangling erystal chandelier In a conversation with Woods Hole officials, Ballard said the last dive was the best and most dangerous as the team sent the camera equipped, tethered robot, Jason Jr., inside the prom enade deck. Three-man crews de seended the four kilometres each day to the Titanic in Alvin, a minature submarine. No other explorations are planned at the site where 1,513 people were killed when the Titanic struck an iceberg April 14, 1912, on its maiden voyage from England to New York. The navy financed the Ti tanic exploration to test Jason Jr., which is a proto- type of a slightly larger device the navy hopes will help it scour sea floors to find sunken submarines, errant missiles and downed jets. The lawnmower-sized ro bot performed well during the early dives, but could not be used Tuesday or Wed nesday because of sea water leaking into the motor. It was repaired and worked flaw lessly Thursday, Ballard said Accounts exposed MANILA (AP) — Docu ments have been released by the Philippines government which it said show ex-presi dent Ferdinand Marcos and his wife, Imelda, with de posits of at least $229 million U.S. in Swiss and other bank accounts.

About 900 of the 1,080 members of the United Food and Commercial Workers Union voted 94.6 per cent against the recommendations of labor mediator Al Duben sky The company also rejected the 16-page report by the former chairman of the Al berta Labor Relations Board. Dubensky was appointed by Labor Minister Ian Reid June 12 to review the strike and suggest ways to end it REJECTS PARITY Union local president John Ventura said he wasn't sur prised by the outcome be cause the recommendations did not suggest workers re ceive parity with other Can adian meat-packing plant workers. “The report was so ridi culous there was no other choice,” he said after the vote. “It's up to the company to make the next move,” Ven tura said. “The ball is in their court.” Gainers owner Peter Pocklington, a millionaire who also owns the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League, entered the labor board office to reject the report just three minutes before the 5 p.m. deadline. Pocklington said he re jected it because it failed to clarify the issue of replace- ment workers hired to keep the plant operating during the strike. Gainers has vowed to pro tect the jobs of replacement workers, and the union has said its members will not work with non-union em ployees. The workers went on strike June 1 to support de mands for wage parity with other Canadian meat packers. MAKES ARRESTS More than 400 people have been arrested during the strike, most for breaching a court injunction limiting the number of pickets outside the northeast Edmonton plant. Dubensky called for in creased wages, but not enough to bring about par ity. He recommended a wage hike of $1.03 an hour over two years and a rate for new workers of $8.19 an hour - $1.19 an hour below union demands The union was ordered by the labor board last week to vote on the report's recom. mendations. Union officials met about 500 workers Thursday. urging them to reject the report. They hope the total rejection may lead to further talks with the company Company negotiator Phil Ponting insisted the union's demand for parity is unreal istic. “There's not much sense in bargaining anymore.” he said.
