Steve Lawson, a charter-boat operator, was ar- rested at Sulphur Passage earlier in the week. He has been ordered by the courts not to go closer than eight kilometres to the site. Another 12 members of the environmental group, Friehds of Clayoquot Sound, have received or are facing similar treatment from the courts. Two men have been given jail terms — one for 15 days, the other for 30 days — for obstructing the building of a logging road. Among those arrested Friday was Lawson's wife, Suzanne Hare. As the couple considered their fate late last week, Hare said her biggest fear was that both she and her husband would be jailed. My biggest nightmare is that we'd both end up in i would allow time to prepare a plan that would seek to accommodate both logging and tourism values.

VIENNA (REUTER) — South Afri- ca, long believed to be developing « nuclear bili d Si Botha said his country would not be rushed into signing the 1970 non- urday that it could produce a nuclear bomb. South African Foreign Minister R.F. (Pik) Botha, asked at a news conference in Vienna whether South Africa had a nuclear bomb, said: “We have the capability to make one .. . We have the capability to do so should we want to."’ But Botha, speaking after talks with U.S., Soviet and British officials on the possibility of Pretoria signing the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, declined to say more.

Hydro and the Bonneville Power Administration (BPA) are studying the environmental effects of changing reservoir operations on the Columbia River system The two utilities are considering ways to increase power benefits by making better use of the storage in Arrow Lake and Kinbasket Lake res- ervoirs. Improved coordination could increase the annual availability of firm electricity by up to 1,300 giga- watt hours, B.C. Hydro said in a prepared release The study of the power benefits and environmental impact of coordin. ated operation is expected to be com- pleted by mid-1989. Hydro has hired Envirocon Pacific, of Burnaby, to carry out the environmental assess: ment of impacts in U.S.A Hydro says Envirocon will ‘‘work closely" with the public, consulting with parks, fisheries, forestry and wildilfe agencies in Nelson, Revel stoke, Golden, Valemont and Kam loops as well as with primary indus- trial users like Westar and Evans Forest Products. ‘‘They will also be carrying out on-site, seasonal inspec tions to determine further how fish, wildlife, recreation and industry will be affected,’ said the release. “Envirocon predicts the primary physical effect on the two reservoirs would be an increase in the draw- down of Kinbasket Lake. At the moment Hydro only draws the lake down within 20 to 30 metres of its specified minimum level. Other ef- fects might be greater fluctuations in outflow and different timing of peak flow levels. Overall, average flow will remain dependent on rainfall.”’ Hydro says the studies will be made public when complete and re- sults will be discussed with inter- ested parties. Committee report unknown VANCOUVER (CP) — The head of a royal commission on provincial re- distribution says he has been put in a very embarrassing position because the legislature committee dealing with the issue hasn't replied to his recommendations Judge Thomas Fisher said that James Rabbitt, the government member chairing the special commit- tee, ‘‘has not hopped in here."” Fisher recommended that British Columbia should have 75 Democrats, was set up in June but has never met. Meetings are at the call of Rabbitt as chairman Fisher was also told the committee is required to make a unanimous recommendation to the legislature on his preliminary report. The house now has risen and may not sit again until next year. In his last scheduled session on Friday, Fisher was told by John Jansen, provincial International Bus- members, up from the current total of 69, as well as major boundary changes. Fisher was told at a Victoria hearing earlier in the week that the committee, made up of six Social Credit members and three New FORESTRY iness and Minister, that the committee (of which he is not a member) will be making a presen- tation before Fisher finalizes his re- port Fisher said he has not been in- formed about an appearance by the committee and wondered when it continued from front page Last week coastal mills — the largest segment of the industry — signed a tentative contract with the union All three contracts contain the same wage increases — 85S cents an hour in the first year and 5.5 per cent in each of the second and third years.

Bernie Heskin, regional director of the federal environment protection. service, says mills here will begin submitting samples as part of a national dioxin testing program put in place by the pulp and paper in- dustry. The tests will be backed up by an auditing program conducted by En- vironment Canada. The environmental group Green- peace claims that traces of dioxin, considered a deadly toxin, have been found in paper products such as coffee filters, disposable baby dia- pers and toilet tissue. Greenpeace spokesman Renata Kroesa says no level of dioxin is ac- ceptable. Last May, Greenpeace claimed the levels of dioxin found in the pulp and paper products produced at 46 mills across Canada were unacceptably high. No mills in the Prince George area were included in the study. Last year, Greenpeace released a report linking dioxin production with pulp mills using chlorine in the bleaching process. All three mills in Prince George use chlorine to whiten their pulp. SEES CONFLICT But Fred Mah, head of the analy- tical department of the water quality branch of Environment Canada, says there’s conflicting evidence about the toxic effects of dioxin. He admits there is evidence dioxin is toxic to mice but says this evidence conflicts with the information gather- ed after an accident in a plant in Italy, when an i d and barely any transportation was available into the capital from the countryside, said the diplomats. Shops reopened and citizens filled the streets to cheer the resignation of the president they described as the ‘Butcher of Students,"’ said Brett Lambert, an American student re- turning from Rangoon. ‘People are smiling and happy.” Lambert said. News reports said students in the capital continued passing out leaflets urging protests to win democracy. Lambert said posters on walls of the capital showed Sein Lwin with blood dripping from his mouth, a skul, and crossbones around his face, anf ‘‘Massacre”’ written beneath. ‘*Burma’s Hitler was brought down by the might of all the people,”’ Japan's Kyodo news agency quoted one Burmese as saying.

Mah says the SO samples of sludge from Interior pulp mills gathered ear- lier this year have not yet been analyzed because no laboratory in British Columbia has the equipment required to test the samples. Instead they've been sent to Ontario for testing. Mah said the analysis will identify dioxin levels as minute as one part per trillion, or the equivalent of finding a needle in a haystack. POCKLINGTON HAS EGO SIZE OF THE WORLD EDMONTON (CP) — Peter Pocklington admits he has an ego the size of the world, which may be, one reason why the millionaire owner of the Edmonton Oilers has created shockwaves in busi- ness, political and sports circles. The latest one centres on his pride and joy — the Stanley Cup champion Oilers of the National Hockey League — and his decision to send superstar Wayne Gretzky to the Los Angeles Kings. Pocklington came under fire after saying Gret- zky had an ego ‘“‘the size of Manhattan.”’ He.-later said his quotes were taken out of context. “Saying someone has an ego t size of him, but said later that he might consider an extention. is a ‘y thing’ Pocklington told the Edmonton Journal reported the original remarks. “To me, an ego is a great thing\He has one almost s big as me.

Bell agreed to give the wildlife association $1,000 to fix the pen. Mayor Moore expressed concern over low summer water levels. ‘*We in this area don’t like to see our afea recreational use depleted while somebody else is fine,’’ she said. Harry Stan of the Castlegar and District Development Board agreed, saying it is difficult for the board to attract entrepreneurs for tourism de- velopment when the water level is so unstable. The "s ego has been the subject of barbs in the past. In 1983, with no political experience, he decided he wanted to be Canada’s prime minister. His unsuccessful bid for the Progressive Con- servative party leadership ended when he threw his support behind Brian Mulroney, now Canada’s prime minister. But although the 46-year-old has never run for office, many Albertans believe he has strong ties to Premier Don Getty’s Tory government. The feelings were strong in 1986, during a bitter and sometimes violent six-month strike at the Pockli ed Gainers t-packing plant in Edmonton. Tuesday’s Gretzky trade — which sent the man generally considered the greatest player of all time to Los Angeles for players, draft choices and a reported $18 million — raised questions about the financial health of Pocklington’s business empire. It.includes food processing companies such as Gainers Inc. and Palm Dairies. Few doubt the trade was anything but a business transaction made because the 27-year-old Gretzky was considered a depreciating asset. Pock- ington has said he does not worry about public opinion; he simply does what he feels is best for his businesses. Alberta’s acting treasurer, Larry Shaben, says the deal has not affected the security of g last week. Diplomats said hundreds may have died in the fighting. Rangoon, a city of 3.5 million, had been under a daytime curfew since Tuesday. The diplomats said prices were Lambert said that before Friday's announcement, large numbers 6f troops moved through Rangoon in armored personnel carriers. Protesters burned buildings, street lights, houses and police stations in the city, which was under martial law. DEPENDS ON PRESIDENS After the announcement, soldiers stationed around Lambert's hotel withdrew. But Lambert said a num- ber of Burmese told him ‘‘it was not over yet’’ and that much depended on who would be the next president. Josef Silverstein, a leading Amer- ican expert on Burma, said in a telephone interview that a likely candidate for president was Kyaw Htin, a relatively liberal military officer who received some training in the United States. He has been the No. 3 man in the government and party. Once one of Asia's wealthiest countries, Burma is now among the world’s poorest countries with per capital income less than the equiva- lent of $240 Cdn a year. The economic problems were brought on by the isolationist policies of Ne Win, who ruled Burma for 26 years. He resigned last month, citing student unrest in March and June. Sein Lwin was elected his successor ‘y 2 Japanese-Canadians applaud U.S. decision TORONTO (CP) — Roy Sato was a nine-year-old prisoner of war in 1942. The Japanese-Canadian, his par- ents and their six other children were forced from their Vancouver Island farm and shuffled through a series of internment camps after Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. Their home and property were seized and Sato’s 52-year-old father, a dairy farmer, had to wash dishes for the rest of his life to support the family. Now, after 46 years, it’s time Can- ada made amends for all that, Sato said, as he marched in a peaceful demonstration Friday before the U.S. loans and loan guarantees issued to Pocklington. Gretzky's personal services contract was listed ds for two held by with the government-run Alberta Treasury Branches. The Oilers are the crown jewel in Pocklington’s corporate empire. At one time his holdings had an estimated value of $1 billion, but he suffered severe losses in the early 1980s with the collapse of the real-estate market. SOLD CARS From his roots as a used car salesman, he has prospered. He is a millionaire and owner of three sports franchises: Oilers, basebali’s Edmonton Trap- pers of the Class AAA Pacific Coast League and the Edmonton Brick Men of the Canadian Soccer League. - Some of Pocklington’s other dealings have raised eyebrows. In 1983 a Toronto psychic filed a $7-million lawsuit against the businessman, alleging he reneged on a 1977 agreement for her psychic services. The psychic lost the suit. Pocklington and his wife, Eva, live in a mansion perched on the bank of the North Saskatchewan River in Edmonton. The house is equipped with security devices and surrounded by a huge wire fence. ___ The precautions became necessary after Pock- lington was taken hostage at gunpoint in 1982. Eva escaped but Pocklington was held for 12 hours. But despite all of this, Edmontonians think of Pocklington as the man who brought Gretzky to the city in 1977. At the time, he purchased the 17-year-old fresh out of a dazzling career in junior hockey, goaltender Eddie Mio and forward Peter Driscoll from Nelson S$ and the is in Toronto. The demonstration, ‘by about 30 members of the National Association of Japanese-Canadians, was to ap- plaud the American government's re- cent decision to compensate Japan- ese-Americans and to remind Canada of its obligations, said Sato. “We're not suffering, we're not derelicts and we're not desti but give apologies and $20,000 tax-free payments to about 60,000 surviving Americans of Japanese descent who were interned following the Pearl Harbor attack.

COUSIN LONDON (AP) — A hitherto unknown relative of the Queen has placed one foot out of ob- scurity, claiming his father was the product of an illicit love af- fair between a dashing aristocrat and a lady-in-waiting, a blue- blood chronicler says. The relative is a 49-year-old engineer whose first name is Anthony. He lives with his wife and two teenage children in a modest three-bedroom house in a suburb of Manchester in nor- thern England. But that’s all he wants the public to know. Anthony says he is the Queen’s second cousin, once removed, and according to Har- old Brooks-Baker, publishing director of Burke's Peerage, ‘“‘he is her closest illegitimate docu- mented relative."’ Brooks-Baker said Anthony's grandfather was Charles Bowes- Lyon, a first cousin of the Queen's mother, Queen Mother Elizabeth. Anthony stepped forward when Burke’s Peerage, known as the blueblood bible, announ- ced a year ago that it intended to begin listing the illegitimate off- spring of nobility and royalty in future editions. Burke's Peerage authenticated Anthony's royal links through his birth certificate, letters and photographs, but respected his wish to remain anonymous. Anthony feared public recog- nition might destroy his family’s quiet lifestyle and has asked to be listed as ‘‘The Unknown Royal,’’ Brooks-Baker said. OFFERS REFUSED Britain's tabloid newspapers have offered him up to the equivalent of $102,000 Cdn for exclusive rights to his story, but Anthony has refused, Brooks- Baker said. “He has refused all monies,"’ Brooks-Baker said. ‘‘He is an unbelievably shy man’ and is far from rich, but he has no prob- lems financially.”’ In 1908, Bowes-Lyon, a second lieutenant in the British army, “fell passionately in love with this attractive woman who was a sort of companion to his aunt’’ at the family's stately home, Ridley Hall, in northeast England, Brooks-Baker said. A year later, they had a child and asked permission to marry, “but a marriage between some- body of that station and a lady- in-waiting was really out of the question,”’ he said Bowes-Lyon was sent to Can- ada for three years and the mother and child went to live at her family’s home in Cheshire in northwest England, he said. The child, Charles, was reg- istered as a Lindsay, the lieu- tenant's mother’s maiden sur- name Anthony was killed in battle in France in 1914. Brooks-Baker said the Bowes- Lyon family paid for the child's schooling and, when he turned 18, sent his mother 600 pounds (then about $3,200 Cdn) in Can- adian railway stocks to help him set up in business. Charles later married and had son, Anthony. He ended up @ shopkeeper in the English Mid- lands, where he died in 1976. Brooks-Baker said the Bowes- Lyon family gathered on Friday to discuss Anthony's claim to his past and ‘‘there's no question about anyone denying it."
