Man is
charged
for teen
murder

CRANBROOK (CP) — A
charge of first-degree mur
der was laid today against a
22-year-old local man in the
murder of a teenage girl last
Sunday in this southeastern
B.C. city.

Terry Wayne Burlingham
is charged in the shooting
death of Brenda Lee Hughes,
16. Hughes was shot to death
in her Cranbrook home while
her parents were away at
church

It is the second killing of
teenaged girls in Cranbrook
in three months

In mid-October, the body
of Denean Worm, 19, of
Cranbrook was found along a
side road just outside town.
She had been shot. There
have been no arrests in con
nection with her death.

Wants
report on
smashup

CHILLIWACK (CP) —
B.C. Highways Minister Alex
Fraser said Tuesday he
wants a report on the multi-
vehicle crash last Saturday
that killed two people.

He also wants to know, by
the end of the week, who has
the authority. to close the

- Trans-Canada Highway.

Fraser said the RCMP
once had the power to close
roads and often did so with-
out informing highways offi-
cials.

An inquest into the two
deaths will be held in about a
month and the question of
road closures “will be a con-
sideration,” said John Urqu.
hart, district coroner for the
Upper Fraser Valley.

Lloyd Clarence Magnuson,
47, of Chilliwack has been
identified by RCMP as one of
two people killed in the
crash.

Police are withholding the
name of the second victim.

Twenty-seven vehicles
were involved in the week-
end smashup that took place
in a heavy snowstorm that
eventually closed the high-
way between Abbotsford and
Chilliwack.

Twenty-five people were
injured, none seriously.

RCMP have said the acci-
dent could have been avoided
if the Department of High-
ways had acted right away on
their recommendation that
the highway be closed.

Highways officials have
denied the charge, saying the
police recommendation did
not come soon efough to
avert the pile-up. Only the
department of highways can
close a provincial road.

Restraint
in store
for 1985

KAMLOOPS (CP) — Pre:
mier Bill Bennett says con-
tinued restraint is in store for
British Columbia's education
and health care systems.

The premier, speaking in a
year-end interview,
said there isn't enough tax
revenue to properly fund es.
sential services such as
schools and hospitals, so the
province has to borrow $1
billion a year.

Restraint will be a fact of
life for education and health
for a number of years to
come, he said, adding good
management should never go
out of style and becomes a
necessity during tough econ.
omic times.

On another matter, Ben.
nett is not ruling out a cab-
inet shuffle this year. A shuf.
fle has been rumored for
some time, and Bennett said
he will make sure all gov.
ernment members get an
opportunity to do more. He
says the changes could take
place in a number of ways,
ineluding giving government
legislative members extra
duties.

TREET TALK

THE CASTLEGAR FIRE Department made a
couple of people pretty happy one evening last month.
They invited Carl and Esther Leeblich to be special
guests at their Christmas party.

Carl, a longtime mayor of Kifiaird and tmost
recently a Castlegar alderman, was a great booster of the
former Kinnaird Volunteer Fire Department, now the
south Castlegar department.

Known toruna tight no-frills municipality with a low
mill rate that was the envy of taxpayers in other
Kootenay municipalities, Carl had a sof heart when it
came to the fire department. It usually feceived most of
what it annually asked for.

Fire Chief Bob Mann personally offered to pick Carl
and Esther up for the party, and to deliver them home.

AS A FURTHER follow-up to the item in this column
about the personal tribute paid to the late John Lennon
by an unknown Kaslo man, Castlegar resident John
Gourlay says there are now 75 neckties affixed to utility
poles in the area between Queen's Bay and Coffee Creek.

John, who travels to Kaslo regularly in his position
as area manager of domestic banking for the Bank of
Montreal, counted the ties on a recent trip.

The neatly tied neckties are affixed high up on the
utility poles and were apparently prompted by the
illustration of neckties on one of the late rock legend's
record albums.

A FEW ISSUES ago this column reported on a
traditional Italian rendering of the nativity (called a
presepio) that was done by a retired lawyer now living in
Trail, Roberto Pini.

A master miniature builder, Mr. Pini built the
25-metre presepio in Italy, broke it down and had it
shipped to Vancouver where it took him two months to
reconstruct.

On display in a Vancouver store, Castlegar's Mary
Anderson dropped by to view it while at: the coast.

“It's fantastic,” she says. There are 50 Hummel-like
figures, animals, olive trees, a tiny, working waterfall and
a babe in the manger. A voice-over tape describes the

scene and its implications in 17 languages while the
accompanying music, a Christmas lullaby, was actually
recorded in the Italian countryside.

People who view the presepio may also contribute to
a fund to help the starving people of Ethiopia. Mary says
they’re doing so — generously.

FORMER LOCAL resident John Evin, son of John,
and Betty Evin of Robson left Vancouver on Dec. 18 for a
four to six month stint in Muscat, the capital city of the
Sultariate of Omaii. rw she

KOOTENAY Boundary Visitor's Association will no
longer be producing the seasonal visitor's guide. The slick
full-color guide to recreational fun in the Kootenay
Boundary area was just getting too expensive to produce,
according to Ald. Marilyn Mathieson, a member of last
year’s KBVA.-board.

Mathieson says the guide put the KBVA in the hole
every year and as a result “We just had to call a halt.”

Mathieson also said the KBVA's debt load is
“something that's strangling the whole thing.”

The KBVA is currently looking for a new manager to
replace John Donald, who left to become special assistant
to Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco.

THE GAS WAR continues to rage in Castlegar. It
slowed somewhat last week and prices rose to 52.5 cents

However, that the ceasefire didn't last long. Prices
dropped slowly for several days and have settled again at
47 to 47.5 cents a litre for regular gas.

SPOKANE (AP) — The

suggested for several years
by Inland Northwest resi.
denis frustrated by literal
and figurative mountains be
twéen themselves and their
state capitals.

The concept has been
taken a step further by the
Spokane Spokesman-Review
newspapers, which on Sun
day published a fact filled,
statistically packed supple:
ment Columbia, A Paradise
Found, as its 1984 progress
edition.

The 96-page supplement
offers readers’ choices for the
state’s symbols as well as the
educational, economic, poli
tical and environmental cli
mate of the fictional Wilder
ness State.

Phil Gruis, assistant man
aging editor, writes, “We are

misunderstood by our gov.
ernments, it was said a cen
tury ago, and said again last
year; we're neglected; we're
getting the short end.”

Gruis writes that there is a
sense of common identity and
destiny among the people in
those areas. “And so, moved
more by pride»anid kinship
than by frustration, we bave
redrawn the map. We have,
in this book, created theState
of Columbia.”

He admits the line drawing
was arbitrary and a bit ruth
less. “We whacked off Wash
ington along the Cascades
We lopped off the top of
Idaho and took a big bite of
Montana, all the way to the
Continental Divide.”

The newspaper's editors
chose Spokane, Columbia's
largest city with a population
of 170,200, as the state capi-
tal.
