Highway 22 near Fairview, when he was involved in
a spectacular three-vehicle crash.

A car driven by a Rossland youth collided
head-on with a Dodge. pick-up truck driven by Lloyd
Collier, 27, of Castlegar about 11:40 p.m. The youth's
ear then struck Mangialaio’s vehicle.

Mangialaio rescued 18-year-old Marlese Martin
of Rossland and 17-year-old Doria Alfred Newman of
Rossland from the wreckage of the burning car.

“With little regard for his own safety, the action
taken by Mr. Mangialaio is credited with saving the
lives of Martin and Newman,” Castlegar Staff Sgt.

flames shortly after the rescue was made,” added

“I didn’t have to leave Trail when I did,” he said,

mushrooms he picked from his lawn
in this Vancouver suburb.

The man, whose name was being
withheld, ate the mushrooms in an
omelette on Oct. 16. He was taken to
hospital 25 hours later but by then
the mushrooms had already done ir.
reversible damage.

Police file

Three people were injured in
a single-vehicle accident early this
morning when a transport truck
crashed 11 kilometres east of Castle-
gar on Highway 3.

Castlegar RCMP report the driver,
James Samuel Luckhart of Okotoks,
Alta. was forced to take the runaway
lane about 1 a.m. when the brakes on
his 1979 Western Star truck failed.

The vehicle sustained about
$35,000 damages when it crashed
into the bush at the end of the
runaway lane. Police are continuing
its investigation and charges are
pending.

Luckhart and passengers Angela
Livingstone and Frank Heinricks
were injured in the accident.

for the best grade,” he said, adding
that his wife is one of 12 mushroom
buyers in the Nakusp area this
season. He wouldn't say how much
he and his wife made this year, but
said some pickers had days where
they received $3,500 for their
efforts.

Pine Mushrooms grow wild in
the Nakusp and Slocan Valley
areas and the growing season is
usually limited to late summer and
early fall.

“I've been a picker for years,”
Kabatoff said. “It’s been pretty
good this season but I don't see it
going past November. The mush-
rooms are becoming more scarce
already.”

In another incident, a man was

microscope to tell the difference.

Teck reports
double profits

By The Canadian Press

VANCOUVER — Teck Corp. re
ports net earnings for the 12 months
ended Sept. 30 of $75 million, more
than double the previous year's
profit of $34 million.

Including an extraordinary item,
total earnings in the latest period
were $78 million or 98 cents per
share. Revenues increased to $243
million from $204 million last yeam

Starting this year, Teck's fiscal
year-end has been changed to Dec. 31
from Sept. 30. The company will
issue financial statements for the five
quarters ending Dec. 31 early in

1989.

The company said this year's
higher earnings came from increased
production at the David Bell gold
mine at Hemlo, Ont., and an in-
creased earnings contribution from
the @ominco Ltd.-Lornex Mining
Corp: Highland Valley Copper in B.C.

Eagnings from the Williams mine
at Hemlo have not been included in
Teck's 1988 results, pending the
judgment of the Supreme Court of
Canada on the ownership dispute be-
tween Corona Corp. (in which Teck
bas an interest) and LAC Minerals
Ltd.

Dirks slammed
on ferry issue

By BRENDAN NAGLE
Staff Writer

The Nelson-Creston MLA is “a
jerk” according to a local business-
man.

Elmer Pellerine, who was in Pen-
ticton over the weekend at the Social
Credit Party's annual convention to
discuss the ferry issue, has made it
clear that he believes Howard Dirks
is responsible for the Robson-Castle-
gar cable ferry remaining closed.

“The biggest stumbling block at

time is Howard Dirks,” Pellerine
told the Castlegar News. “Howard
Dirks is a jerk.”

Dirks, the Minister Responsible
for Crown Lands and the Minister of
State for the Thompson-Okanagan
and Kootenay regions, was not avail-
able for comment at press time.

Pellerine said he met with the
Premier Bill Vander Zalm, Tourism
Minister Bill Reid, Finance Minister
Mel Couvelier and Labor and Con-
sumer Services Minister Lyle Han-
sen in Penticton and all agreed to
study the ferry issue.

“They're looking at how to get it
going,” Pellerine said. “Something is
happening now.”

But he continued to attack Dirks
for the minister's alleged lack of
interest in the ferry.

“He said that ‘if I support that
ferry issue, I will lose votes in my
riding’,” Pellerine said.

Pellerine’s suggestion to re-start
the ferry service, includes turning
the service over to Bel Construction
Ltd., which now has three highways
district maintenance contracts in the
area, including Castlegar.

Pellerine said he was told the ferry
issue was raised in cabinet dis-
cussions and that the province is

looking at ways to get the service
going again, but was offered no
guarantees.

“There is no time frame (for
getting the ferry started again),”
Pellerine said. “This is what really
bothers me.”

A Highways Ministry spokesman
in Victoria, who wished to remai
anonymous, said the government is
looking at “options” for running the
ferry. He said the ferry has not gone
to public tender yet because it is
“still an active subject.”

“We haven't gone to public tender
yet,” he said. “There are other
options we are looking at as well, but

T'm not at liberty to disclose them at
this time.”

He said there should be a decision
“within the next month” as to how
the government will deal with the
issue.

Pellerine owns and operates the
Lion's Head Pub, directly across the
street from where the ferry service
runs in Robson. He said the closure
has affected his business because
Castlegar patrons are not willing to
drive over to Robson now that the
ferry service has stopped.

And he holds Dirks responsible.

“I totally dislike the man,” he said.
“I feel basically he does not have any
political savvy.”

Tumbling debris

closes highway

By CasNews Staff

The narrow Cape Horn section of
Highway 6 between Slocan and
New* Denver closed after debris
dynamited from rock bluff above
the road took oul small section on
Friday, says a provincial highways
spokesman. The road is expected to
be reopened Monday.

Bill Ogden, contract area manager
for the Ministry of Highways in
Nelson, said the falling debris from
the blast knocked an outisde section
of the road right off.

“We had to close the road because
it was too narrow,” he told the

Castlegar News. “We were shooting
the rock above the road when it came
down and took out a small portion on
the outside of the road.”

Ogden said construction crews
have been working on the narrow,
winding stretch of road in the hopes
of widening it.

“We're trying to widen that roa
he said. “Right now we're just
working on a small piece of it.”

The road is still closed, but Ogden
said crews are working overtime to
have it open early next week.

“The construction is going on there
now,” he said. “We're working to try
and have it open by Monday.”

The council chamber is no
place for political “grandstand-
ing,” Ald. Bob MacBain said
Tuesday.

“I believe very strongly, and I
don't want to hurt anybody's
feelings here, but that grand-
standing in councils — and I see
it all over the place, not just in
Castlegar but in other places —
is something that one must not
do,” he said.

MacBain made the comment in
a farewell speech to Castlegar
council. He will not run again in
the Nov. 19 municipal election,
citing personal concerns.

MacBain said council members
are “here to do a job for every.
body and you should do it as dili
gently as you can.”

He also told council this past

year has “not been one of my
better years,” but noted that he
still enjoyed it.

“I_haven’t felt that I have
really filled the job that I took
on,” adding that elected officials
owe their supporters “the best
that you can possibly put out.”

MacBain served one year on
council completing a term left
vacant by Nick Oglow, who ran
for mayor in 1987. Macbain also
ran for mayor in 1985 after
serving several terms as an
alderman. He lost in his bid for
the mayor’s seat to incumbent
Audrey Moore.

Moore paid tribute to Mac-
Bain's “hard work and dedica.
tio

“We really appreciated your
input and your help,” Moore
said. “We will miss you.”

year and $50 million in each of the
following three years in the GO BC
fund.

The fund was announced Sept. 22
by Premier Bill Vander Zalm at the
annual meeting of the Union of B.C.
Municipalities in Whistler.

Reid said GO BC will fund capital
projects which enrich the life of the
communities and have a strong
element of local support and com.
mitment from volunteers.

“GO BC links our provincial gov-
ernment resources with the energy
and commitment at the local level in
@ partnership which will benefit all
British Columbians,” he said. “We
challenge local groups and associa-
tions to work with us to bolster that
strong feeling of pride we have in our
communities.

“This money will be used to cover
up to one-third the capital costs of
projects, large and small, up to a
maximum of $1 million.

“The GO BC initiative is over and
above other ongoing lottery-funded
programs which will continue.”

Reid said details of the program
were worked out after discussions
with the UBCM, individual munici-
palities and other community groups.

GO BC awards will be granted for
projects in seven broad categories:
environmental, economic, cultural,
heritage, social/health, recreational
and multiculturalism initiatives.

Groups eligible for GO BC funds
include community associations, vol-
unteer service agencies, cultural,
heritage, recreational and sport
groups, service clubs and local gov
ernment agencies.

gets his figures from,” Kristiansen
said.

Kristiansen suggests Brisco may
be claiming both federal and provin
cial funding under the provincial-
federal forestry agreement.

He said that instead of telling
voters how much money he has
brought into the riding, Brisco
“would be better off telling the
people he's doing the job he's being
paid to do.”

Kristiansen also criticized Brisco's
claim that being a government MP
means getting more federal funding.
He said if the NDP or Liberals win
the Nov. 21 election, Brisco won't be
a government MP — and that's
assuming he wins Kootenay West
Revelstoke.

As well, he said there may not
even be a majority government, but

instead a minority government or a
coalition.

While Kristiansen says Brisco does
“a commendable job as a member of
Parliament,” he can't take. credit for
projects that were well underway
before the last election.

Liberal candidate Garry Jenkins
also said Brisco shouldn't take credit
for all the federal spending in the
riding.. Instead, Jenkins said the
former Liberal government was
tesponsible for the projects.
spending in the riding was initiated
under the previous Liberal govern-
ment,” Jenkins says in a prepared
release.

“In this campaign, the local Tory
candidate is using the old election
strategy of trying to take credit for
all government spending that oc-
curred in the riding during his past
term. The NDP candidate is: at
tempting to say that he is responsible
for initiating the projects.

“However, these political cam-
paign tricks do not work. To those
familiar with the political process, it
is known that it takes years to com-
plete feasibility studies before a
project is finally given approval,”
Jenkins says. He adds that under
such reasoning, spending in the
riding over the past four years could
be accredited to the past Liberal
government.

“And the NDP opposition member
of the day cannot take credit for the
spending. It would be attributed to
Senator Jack Austin, the Liberal
Minister responsible for economic
expenditures in B.C. during the
previous Liberal government.

“Let's give credit where credit's
due,” added Jenkins. “Ask the Con-
servatives to show when the proj-
ects, feasibility studies and all, were
initiated. Only then will we all getan
honest answer, and odds are that
thanks will go to the Liberals.”
