Oglow completes coroner's inquiry By CasNews Staff A coroner's inquiry into a fatal motor vehicle accident near Grand Forks last De- cember was completed this week without making any recommendations. The inquiry was conducted by Castlegar coroner Paul * Oglow. The accident involved three vehicles and took place on the afternoon of Dec. 29, 1986, 34 kilometres east of Grand Forks on Highway 3. Two people died in the acci- dent. There was heavy snowfall at the time. A loaded eastbound tractor trailer unit failed to negotiate a right hand curve and cross ed over into the oncoming lane. A westbound car driven by Loreen Bennett, 25, and her husband was demolished af- ALL SMILES. . ter being hit by the tractor trailer. Bennett died instantly. A pickup truck driven by Lyle Burt, who was with his wife Elaine, 35, and their two sons, was following the west- bound car. The pickup truck was unable to avoid the on- coming tractor trailer and collided head-on. Elaine Burt died at Kelowna General Hospital a few days after the accident as a result of the in- juries she suffered. “It has not been deter- mined why the transport truck failed to negotiate the curve in the highway,” Oglow said in q prepared release. “Speed was not considered to be a factor. There were no signs of foul play.” A charge of failing to keep right under Section 154 (L) of the Motor Vehicle Act has been laid against the driver of the transport truck. . SHSS student Denis Peregrym walks away with the Science Council of B.C. award. CosNews Photo from a tiny island in the middle of the river he described as a “raging torrent,” said the accident seene was “a real tess. People were clinigng to whatever they could.” It began as a hot-weather holiday advanture along the scenic Elaho, in the heart of the snow-capped Coast Mountains about 90 minutes’ drive north of Vancouver. ‘Twenty-seven pepole, including three guides, most believed from the Vancouver area, were in three five-metre-long rafts operated by the North Vancouver firm Dynamic Descents Whitewater Rafting Inc. At a sharp turn known as Devil's Elbow, the first raft crashed into an unexpected log jam and flipped over, dumping eight paddlers and a guide into the choppy, fast-moving water. The second raft passed safely, but the third also tipped its paddlers into the river, swollen with icy water running from mountain snowfields melting in the current heat wave. All occupants of the third raft managed to clamber onto the log jam and take refuge on a small island in the middle of the channel where they were later rescued by helicopter. An unidentified rafter who survived the drenching, still wearing his wet suit, told reporters: “I can't really remember (the accident), it was every man for himself.” “It was just instantaneous, (it) flipped over and everybody was in the water,” he said. A shaken Marlene Hearst, who was on the second raft, said she saw a few people from the first overturned raft swim to shore. “We saw three people when we went by, and we chased one fellow trying to catch up with him,” she said outside the RCMP detachment. “Then we pulled over ot the side and held on, while our guide went back-to try and help him.” Slowed by the isolated, rugged terrain, rescuers recovered one woman from the river and raced her to Squamish General Hospital where efforts to revive her failed. The bodies of two men washed up on the small island. The 22 other rafters were taken to the two-storey. RCMP detachment at Squamish, where they spent up to six hours giving statements. After dark, they emerged to board a bus, grim-faced and many still in bathing suits. Most of the men and women appeared in their early 20s, and they refused to talk furtehr with reporters. Officials of Dynamic Descents, loading gear into a bus at the police station, also refused to comment. One of them told a photographer, “You'd better back off or I'll break your camera.” WINNER . . .

Cosnews Photo by Mike Koleanike P= Gunman opens fire on six people on Canada Day FREDERICTON (CP) — Two men were killed and four other people wounded Wednesday when a gunman opened fire on their car on a quiet back road in nearby Durham Bridge. The shooting, described by shaken neighbors as the tragic outcome of a long-simmering dispute between two families, shattered the Canada Day calm of the normally placid hamlet, 35 kilometres north of Fredericton. A man, believed to be in his 50s, was arrested more than an hour after the 3:15 p.m. shooting. RCMP. Staff Sgt. Ron O'Brien said there were negotiatiofis but refused to elaborate. A suspect was expected to appear Fredericton this morning. Dead are Ronald Moore Sr., 38, of Durham Bridge and Allan Moore, 31, of Fredericton. A police spokesman said he did not know the relationship between the two men. Three other members of the Moore family were injured. Cynthia Moore, 18, of Durham Bridge suffered a wound to her shoulder and arm. She was treated and released from hospital. Wayne Moore, 39, of Tracy is still in hospital after surgery on leg wounds. Ronald Moore Jr., 15, is being treated for a neck wound while 21-year-old Michael Sweeney is suffering from a chest injury. Both are also from Durham Bridge. The conditions of the three still in hospital were not immediately knolwn. Neighbors said the shooting started after a car window was smashed by a rock. They said the gunmen fired at a car driving away from a small, white bungalow. The glass door on the front of the bungalow was shattered, but there was no other visible damage to the home. in court in BLOOD ON ROAD The pink flamingos, plastic daisies and flower beds were James Lindsay helped get two of the injured away from the gunman. He said it will be a long time before he recovers from the horror of the killings in his own neighborhood. “It was terrible, just terrible,” Lindsay said in an interview. “I helped my cousin's son an dhis girlfriend get out of the area. He had quite a hole in his side — it looked like a shotgun wound. He had trouble moving and seemed to be in a lot of pain. “The girl got in my car without too much difficulty. She'd been shot in the arm, but it looked like bird or buck shot.” Lindsay didn't see the gunman during the few minutes he spent picking up the injured and hustling them to a waiting ambulance. He said police negotiated with the gunman and he didn't worry about his own safety. Lindsay has been told his cousin's son and the teenaged girl are doing well in hospital. There was no word on the other two injured people.

THE PROVINCIAL government's water manage- ment branch is harvesting Eurasian milfoil in Christina Lake. The nuisance weed was discovered in the lake last summer during a routine check, and officials hope to get rid of it before it has a chance to take hold and spread very far. A three-member team headed by supervisor Dale Haberstock, and including marine biologist Howard Jackson and commercial diver Dave Pollack is laying a synthetic bottom barrier in areas where the weed is particularly heavy. The porous quality of the barrier's fabric allows it to remain on the lake floor. It is then anchored with rocks. the plant tries to send up new shoots, the shoots are plucked and tossed in the garbage. The team will be working at the lake for the summer. Officials believe the weed was introduced into the lake by a boat. Boaters are instructed to ensure their crafts are free of any weeds before launching them. Jackson says only one centimetre of the weed is needed for it to take hold in the lake. WOULD THE real mayor of Castlegar please stand up?

CANADA CUSTOMS is planning joint border post with U.S. Customs at Grand Forks. Richard Cotton, Canada Customs regional manager of administrative services for B.C. and the Yukon, said the post will be built for a new joint post to be built in Quebec. Cotton said improved security is one consideration of having both Canadian and U.S. customs officers under one roof in a building straddling the border. “We have only one man on duty at Grand Forks. It is better for security to have both Canadian and U.S. officers working at opposite ends of the same building, instead of each of them being on his own.” He said the B.C. and Quebec customs posts will be the first shared facilities at Canadian border points. He refused to speculate on whether busier border crossings will see joint construction when existing buildings need to be replaced. KOLBASSA MAPLE LEAF WIENERS 100 G REG.

She said the student cannot cover the caseload of the fulltime in spector and will also be training with chief public health inspector Mike Har nadek. Embree also blasted the government for not replacing the inspector “How in the hell can you accept we don't need one for six months?” he asked. “It doesn't make sense.” He acknowledged that while the city hires summer students, the students are not intended as replacements.

When he found out what it was it shook him up a bit.” Casley said some people think there might be a link with the bombing campaign that has been mounted against lawyer Eric Watson and his family in Kaslo, 40 kilometres east of New Denver During the last two years, an un known assailant has subjected the Watsons to five attacks on their house and cars — three involving dynamite and two involving fire bombs.
