The $1,000 award for ex- cellence in covering labor issues will be given every two years starting in 1987. The winner will be chosen by a three-member panel head- ed by List, who retired last fall after reporting on labor for the newspaper for more than 30 years.

Photo links Mengele SAO PAULO (REUTER) Brazilian police have turned up a photograph linking Josef Mengele to Brazil, but a Sao Paulo dentist told a newspaper she treated a man who strongly resembled the infamous Nazi concentration camp doctor weeks after he supposedly drowned Brazilian police exhumed a body Thursday in the village of Embu near Sao Paulo that may be Mengele’s, but forensic experts have not yet determined whether the remains are, in fact, those of Mengele. A photograph of Mengele’s son, Rolf, was found Friday in the house of an Austrian couple who say they sheltered Mengele from 1970 to 1979, when the couple said Mengele died in a swimming accident The couple, Wolfram and Lisolette Bossert, said Mengele was buried under the name of Wolfang Gerhard on Feb. 8, 1979. But Helena Bueno Vieira de Castro, a 33-year-old dentist, told the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper that she recognized published pictures of the man believed to be Mengele as a patient she treated in April or March, 1979, several weeks after Gerhard was buried. Castro said the man, who had white, blonde-streaked hair and deep blue eyes, first arrived at her clinic in February of that year to make an appointment for work on new upper dentures. She described him as a fanatic, who spoke with a thick German accent and appeared to be around age 65. CARRIED GUN The dentist said he threatened to pull a gun when challenged by other patients at the clinic for his comments on Brazilians’ mixed racial heritage. When accused of being a Nazi, he replied “I was very proud of being one,” Castro said. continued on pege A2 for both West Kootenay Power and Light Co. and its workers say they're satisfied with a new two-year contract ratified late this week that ended a 11-day walkout. The contract gives 272 electrical and office workers in the K: and human resources, said the lump sum payment is $268 for members of OTEU Local 378, and $344 for IBEW Local 217 workers. Stevens said the agreement, tenta- tively reached late Wednesday, was a “realistic settlement” in view of the ” ie ci of the .com- Okanagan a one per cent lump payment in the first year, and a 2.5 per cent rate erease in the second year. As well, spokesmen for the Inter. national Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and the Office and Technical Employees Union said Friday the pact gives them a regular Monday to Friday work week with regular hours. West Kootenay Power had originally proposed flexible work hours at regular pay. Jim Stevens, WKPL manager of JACK HEINRICH 219 proposals NANAIMO (CP) — Education Min ister Jack Heinrich has announced preliminary approval of $1.3 million in grants for eight college projects to aid private enterprise, along with eight new training programs costing $900,000. There was no word if any of Selkirk College's 11 proposals totalling $1 million were among those approved. The minister made the announce. ment Friday night to 70 delegates who gave him a cordial welcome at the annual meeting of the B.C. Association of Colleges. Heinrich then conferred privately with board members from the 20 institutions. The education minister said during the open session that the $2.2 million in new spending — from a $5.8-million fund he announced in April — is still subject to final approval by Treasury Board. This approval, along with more grant announcements, will be forth coming soon, he said. Heinrich said that after the April announcement, colleges submitted 219 proposals which would have cost $38 million. “Some of the 219 proposals that came in were not what we considered ac ceptable under the terms of the grant, and you may wish to submit others,” he told the college officials. Among the grants for “entrepren eurial projects” are: $300,000 to Van couver Community College, $180,000 to Malaspina College, $165,000 to the B.C Institute of Technology, $160,000 to Camosun College, $160,000 to Douglas College and $75,000 to East Kootenay Community College. ny. “I think it was resolved to everyone's satisfaction,” he said. Office workers ratified the’ agree- ment late this week with an 80 to 90 per cent turnout voting 85 per cent in favor, said John Montgomery, execu- tive council member for the OTEU Local 378. Montgomery said West Kootenay Power initially wanted OTEU mem- bers to give up sick leave payments if IN EXPO 86 three days or less were taken, but the union finally didn't have to make the concession. Disagreements over flexible hours and sick leave were “the two main reasons” the unions went on strike May 27, Montgomery said. Brian Robson, of the electrical workers’ bargaining committee, said it's “not a bad contract.” He said there was a “very high turnout” of IBEW workers voting 82.5 per cent in favor. Two days of negotiations prior to reaching a tentative agreement Wed- nesday were “very close” with both sides “inching forward,” Robson said. “We're satisfied with it, and the vote shows the mass of the members are too,” he added. Members of both unions returned to work Friday. The unions had been without contracts since Jan. 31. West Kootenay told how to get involved By CasNews Staff Interior communities aren't being left out of Expo 86, B.C. Pavilion president David Podmore told Castle gar Thursday night Podmore explained to 100 West Assisting the regional program pro- ducer will be advisory committees, made up of representatives from arts councils, chambers of commerce, re- gional districts, tourist associations, recreation associations, multicultural Kootenay y rep atives and residents how the nine tourist regions in B.C. can get involved — chiefly through a nine-week “B.C. Talent Showease” at B.C. Pavilion featuring regional entertainment. He said Expo wants each region — including the Kootenays — to develop a week-long program which works around a theme to be developed by each area. “We want to end up with distinct presentations,” Podmore said “It’s to really try and find out the unique things that can be presented in Kootenay-Boundary that can stand out from a performance the week before from the High Country.” Podmore suggested one example of a theme for the Kootenays could be the mining industry. “That's the type of thing we're looking for,” he said Performances from each region can run up to a maximum 11 hours each day, although Podmore says two to three hours daily “is a reasonable guide Performances aren't limited to the atre, music and dance. Jack Anderson, manager of community events and performances for Expo, suggested ac tivities as diverse as figure skating, kayaking, synchronized swimming. free-style skiing and story-telling Each region will be assisted by a regional program producer” who will co-ordinate and help direct the search for local talent and development of entertainment. The talent search offi cially begins July 1, with the regional program producer for this area to be centred in Nelson. orga theatre groups and Expo committees. Anderson, a former Nelson resident who served on the city's arts council, said performers will be selected through auditions and regional zone competitions. Auditions will take place next spring, with an Oct. 1, 1985 deadline for applications “The regional auditions will be held for approximately a two- or three-day period,” Anderson said. “We'll be having one in the West Kootenay area; we'll also be having one in the East Kootenay area.” Anderson also’ outlined a “profes sional artist-in-residence program” in which professional performers, chore. ographers and directors would create 20-minute sketches “to provide a focal point for the region's theme.” These could take the form of variety review shows with participation from local talent selected through auditions. Other ways of regional participation in Expo are through special promo tions, said Anderson. For example, he said the Caribou has arranged a cov ered wagon caravan ride to the Expo site And the Gelwa Indian tribe will be starting out from Bella Bella in a replica of an Indian war canoe, and canoeing down and winding up on site.” Podmore, who's making his presen tation throughout the province, said in an interview that many Interior com munities feel left out of Expo 86 continued on poge A2
