For the last three days Kavka has sat in her tent, waiting for Hydro to send in the RCMP to remove her from the cable that will eventually become a 230-kilovolt hydro line powering a $320-million pulp mill in Gold River, B.C Ironically, Kavka has placed her tent below three other high voltage lines already passing through the long corridor of clearcut forest that slices through about 150 properties. Hydro has been granted an injun: ction from the B.C. Supreme Court forbidding blockades to the new power line, already behind schedule. LIGHTNING TARGET But the power company is hoping Kavka will take down her tent volun tarily after they tell her she is a prime target for lightning while sitting on the able. Utility “We don’t know what her re will be," said Prior. We want to make sure she"s aware of the danger.”” B.C. Hydro has also offered to buy out all property owners effected by the power line at fair market value. Prior refused, however, to say exac tly what B.C, Hydro will do if Kavka refuses to budge. “We intend to proceed with the line. We've got a customer waiting for power.”’ The RCMP refused to comment on whether they intend to arrest Kavka. “Nobody is commenting," said an RCMP spokesman. **It’s a civil mat ter. Nobody was arrested today."” Kavka, whose mobile home will be only 300 metres from the power line, said she is willing to face arrest because of research suggesting electromagnetic fields weaken the body's ability to fight off disease. One 1982 study published in the New England Journal of Medicine showed power station operators had 2 times the death rate from all types of cancer however, generally believe more work is needed before reaching firm conclusions Researchers, strike said escalating VANCOUVER (CP) — The union senting B.C. Hydro office and technical staff said it has stepped up its strike against the Crown-owned utility in their contract dispute The Office and Technical Em ployees’ Union said it has set up pickets at the McCleese capacitor sub: station near Williams Lake, in central British Columbia, and the Creekside substation near Squamish, about 60 kilometres northwest of Vancouver Both substations were shut down, the union said Hydro construction sites at subur ban New Westminster, Stewart, in nor thwestern British Columbia, and Gold River on Vancouver Island were put behind picket lines earlier this week. The 2,300-member union is also off the job in the accounts-payable depar tment at Hydro’s Vancouver office and at the computer mapping depar- tment in suburban Burnaby “The picket line closures will affect mainly Hydro construction, corporate customers and the company’s internal operations,” union president Anne Harvey said ina statement “Hydro management is taking a hard-line approach with employees,” said Harvey. “They have told staff throughout the province that union members who take any job action, no matter how brief, will be locked out for the rest of the strike Hydro spokesman Verne Prior con- firmed that once employees go on strike they will be locked out for the duration Prior said customer services have not been affected by the strike because the areas behind picket lines “‘are stric: tly internal functions.” He said Hydro is“*prepared to talk We're waiting for an opportune moment.’* The two sides last met July 6 and no talks are scheduled. The union wants a two-ye with wage increases of 10 per cent in each year, while the company has of fered four per cent this year and five in the next The last weeks, from February 1984 contract major strike lasted 10 November 1983 to New pulp mill pollution rules announced VANCOUVER (CP) — The federal government is going to get tough with pulp polluters, Environment Minister Lucien Bouchard said During boat tour of polluted Howe Sound on Tuesday, Bouchard told reporters that new rules will be in force next year to limit toxic dioxin and furan waste pumped from pulp mills Dioxins and furans, generated by the pulp bleaching process, have been linked to cancer in laboratory animals Fisheries laws will also be toughened in two to three years to limit other toxic mill discharges, Bouchard said The new dioxin laws could bring fines of up to $1 million and even jail for offenders, he said “We have quite a problem and we must address it urgently,"” Bouchard said during a one-hour boat tour to Western Pulp Partnership's mill at Woodfibre, about $0 kilometres nor- thwest of Vancouver Howe Sound was closed permanen tly to shellfish harvesting this year because of dioxin contamination from two pulp mills. Last week, the provin: cial government laid a dozen charges against Western Pulp, alleging the company illegally dumped chemicals into the sound BACKS CLEANUP Bouchard said he'd like to see the sound cleaned up, if necessary, and re opened to fishing But Rozlynne Mitchell of the Save Howe Sound Society said action is needed now “Future promises mean nothing today,’ she said New fisheries rules need to be in- troduced sooner, said Bill Andrews of the West Coast Environmental Law Association. “He (Bouchard) came out and looked, which is to his credit, but the new regulations might not kick in for years,”’ said Andrews. On another issue, Bouchard said he has asked provincial Forest Minister Dave Parker to agree to an indepen dent study of Carmanah Valley, on the west coast of Vancouver Island He said Ottawa would pay for half the study of the valley, home to giant Sitka spruce. Environmentalists have lobbied to ban Jogging from the valley Bouchard said he told Parker in a letter that he would like to see as large a chunk as possible of Carmanah in cluded in nearby Pacific Rim national park Briefly Quayle said not qualified WASHINGTON (AP) — More than half of those questioned in a Washington Post-ABC broadcast network poll say Dan Quayle isn’t qualified to be U.S. president, even though a similar percentage says he's going a good job as vice-president the newspaper said The Aug. 4-8 telephone survey of 1,022 people, taken about a year af ter George Bush selected Quayle as his running mate, showed little change from éarlier polls that indicated a widespread lack of confidence in Quayle’ to take over the gover in Fifty-two per cent said Quayle wouldn't be qualified to take over as president. Thirty-eight per cent said Quayle is qualified to be president and the fest offered no opinion. The survey has a margin of error of 3:5 percentage points. Thieves run over by victim PARIS (Reuter) — A woman chased two teenagers who snatched her handbag in Paris and mowed them down with her car, killing one and seriously wounding the other, police said The two 19-year-olds, riding a scooter, pulled up beside the car at a traffic light Monday and grabbed the bag containing the equivalent of about $14,000 Cdn from the passenger seat, police said The driver, 43-year-old Nang Tiane, chased them and rammed her car into the scooter, witnesses said. Dominique Metrot was killed on the spot. Pierre Mendy was rushed to hospital in critical condition. Police said they arrested Tiane. Counterfeit millions siezed MONTREAL (CP) More than $2.3 million in bogus $100 US bills have been seized by police in what the RCMP term the biggest ‘bust ever of a counterfeit ring operating in Montreal. Phoney bills worth at least another $200,000 have entered cir- culation, said RCMP Insp. Raymond Berube. Three men were arrested — one on additional drug charges — when police seized bills And printing equipment late last week after a seven- month investigation, he told a news conference **The counterfeit money was not only (intended) to rip off grocery. stores but also as front money to buy drugs.”* McKenna for leader: Peterson KEDGWICK, N.B. (CP) — New Brunswick Premier Frank McKen- na should run for the federal Liberal leadership, Ontario Premier David Peterson said. ““Frank is one of the important young national leaders,”’ Peterson said during an interview at a fishing camp near this northern New Brun- swick community **1 am here to say Frank is the one to go,”’ said Peterson, who insisted his endorsement was serious, despite the informal vacation atmosphere. McKenna, 41, said he’s flattered by the suggestion but he’s not in- terested Bear's treatment criticized ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) — A New Mexico state agency was criticized Tuesday for tranquillizing a black bear atop an eight-metre utility pole without shutting the power off or using a net to break its fall To the howor of spectators, the woozy, 150-pound bear fell off the pole Monday, bqunced off a transformer and tumbled to the ground amid a cascade of sparks. The bear was tangled in electrical wire as it fell and received a 7,200-volt jolt when it hit the transformer, a utility official said. The female bear, believed to have wandered into town from the near- by Sandia Mountains, was taken to the Rio Grande Zoological Park, where she was doing well, officials said The bear suffered an electrical burn on her right hind leg. “We've received quite a bit of calls — primarily criticism,”’ said Mark Birkhauser, a Conservation officer with the New Mexico Depar- tment of Game and Fish. ‘‘Public opinion in general seems to think it wasn’t handled as well as it could have been."" Dog control ticket thrown out PENTICTON, B.C. (CP) — For starters, Anne Dycke doesn’t have grey and black hair. She's a blonde. And she certainly doesn’t have three legs. And no one could accuse her of running at large. But that’s what Dycke was charged with under Pénticton’s dog con- trol bylaw The ticket, issued July 11, was thrown out Tuesday by provincial court Judge Wilf Klinger “This ticket alleges that Anne Dycke ran at large,’ said Klinger. “It doesn’t refer to her being the owner of a dog that ran at large."” Dycke owns a three-legged black and grey husky-cross dog. Tickets for canine crimes in Penticton are also worded in such a manner that a per- son can also be charged for viciously pursuing I’mconcerned with the wording of the bylaw,"’ the judge said. “If that’s what the judge ruled, then we've got a technical problem with the bylaw,”’ said city clerk Leo den Boer. **I will be taking the matter up with our solicitor.”” Anti-abortionists arrested CALGARY (CP) — Anti-abortionists walked into Calgary's Peter Lougheed hospital and into police custody Tuesday in a protest against the lack of abortion law in Canada. Six protesters — including Michael Malley, leader of Campaign Life Calgary — were arrested and charged with civil disobedience for violating an earlier court order barring them from entering the hospital. The three men and three women were quietly arrested as they tried to enter the hospital Tuesday morning Another 15 anti-abortionists carried placards outside. The group hopes the arrests will lead the court to dismiss the injunction on the grounds that Canada has no abortion law The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to rule on the legality of abortions in the absence of a law Drinking driver had no pants WINNIPEG (CP) — Winnipeg police may have wondered why they had such a hard time stopping Ken Smith's car after it made an illegal turn — he even smashed into their cruiser in his haste to escape. When they finally nabbed him, they found their man with his pants down, literally Provincial Judge Sam Minuk agreed that Smith, who was naked below the waist, may have had a good reason to try and get away. But it wasn’t enough to beat the charge. Smith pleaded guilty to driving with an excessive blood-alcohol level, ‘dangerous driving and failing to appear at an earlier court hearing and was fined $500 Tuesday Chinese editor dismissed BEIJING (Reuter) — China's hardline leadership has dismissed the editor of the influential Guangming Daily as part of its Campaign to tighten control of the media, Chinese sources said today Yao Xihua, chief of 4 newspaper widely read by intellectuals, has been accused of opposing Communist party rule by giving extensive and sympathetic coverage to the pro-reform movement of May and June, they said Yao has not been charged but conservative members of the party said he supported ousted party general secretary Zhao Ziyang in a power struggle, the sources added. Clouds may spoil eclipse By IAN BAILEY The Canadian Press The forces at work in tonight's lunar eclipse once tipped the scales of war. As Athenian warriors prepared to end their siege of the Sicilian city of ‘Syracuse in the summer of 413 Bi lunar eclipse left Athenians so rattled they were slaughtered by the Syracusians. But the latest celestial dance — Which will begin tonight“at 5:23 p.m. PDT and end by 10:53 p.m. — should serve the more peaceful’ purpose of reminding Canadians of some geography, says one astronomer “It helps demonstrate how big Canada is,’’ says Ken Hewitt-White, director of Vancouver's H.R. Mac- Millan Planetarium.

You're not going to getan opportunity to do it again for a long time.’ — Phil Mozel of Toronot's McLaughlin Planetarium on photographing the eclipse “There are few countries in the . world wide enough, with so many time zones so people see (the eclipse) dif- ferently. It’s an astronomical statement on the size of our country.”’ He noted the view of the eclipse will be diminished for western Canadians because it will be too light in the west to see some parts of the lunar phenomenon. SEE LESS “As you go westward, you see less and less of the eclipse,”’ concedes Phil Mozel of Toronto’s McLaughlin Planetarium. “If you go far enough north and west, you’ ll miss most of it.”” The eclipse occurs when the moon passes through the shadow created by the Earth blocking the sun’s light It’s a long process with various Stages, starting when the moon enters the outer fringe of the Earth’s shadow. The moon then enters the dark, central part of the shadow, expected tonight between 7:20 p.m. and 8:56 p.m. This is total eclipse. Today’s event will be the first total eclipse visible to Canadians since 1982, and the last until 1992. During an eclipse, the play of light- waves can make the moon seem red with clean air between the lunar sur- face and an Earth-bound— observer. Dust or smoke can dim the moon to orange. Cloudy weather forecast across much of Canada today could spoil the show, which will be visible to spec- tators in North and South America, western Europe, Africa and the Antar- ctic. Overcast skies in Castlegar as the Castlegar News went to press today made the likelihood of seeing the eclip- se locally seem remote. MISS CHANCE? Mozel says he won't be pleasant company if rain conceals the eclipse. “The air will be blue,’’ says Mozel, who has selected a rural area with a southern exposure for the best view. **Itwill be a lost opportunity.”” The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada has organized viewings of the event in cities across the country. Mozel says the eclipse can be en- joyed with the naked | eye,. and with proper adjustmen- tstoa34-mm camera. He suggests using a light-sensitive film and adjusting the camera for long exposures. “Shoot, shoot, shoot. Blast away You're not going to get an opportunity to doit again for along time.”” The National and CTV evening news plan partial coverage of the eclipse. The eclipse will be nothing special for many people, but it’s hard to ignore the fact the free show represents the alignment of three celestial bodies, says Hewitt-White “It makes you realize the Earth is a globe in space."” DINNER ROLLS White or Whole Wheat One Dozen * Each 1.19 CAKE DONUT Package of 10 Plain or ay ios 2.59 CHELSEA BREAD 450 g. * package 2.49 B.B.Q.
