Bishop’ suppor welcomed VANCOUVER (CP) — Vancouver trade unionists and a local Catholic priest say a move by Canadian Catholic bishops to support striking workers at Eaton's will be beneficial to the labor move- ment. Art Kube, president of the British Columbia Federation of Labor, called the decision by the Canadian Conference of Catholie Bishops to con- demn Cana multi-billion. dollar retail industry for ex. ploiting its workers “a very important statement.” “The Catholic church has 30 per cent of Canadians,” Kube said. “When the church comes out with a moral mes- sage, it gives strength to the people out on strike.” In a policy paper released Monday, the bishops urged Canada’s 10 million Roman Catholics and all Canadians to support retail workers in their bid to form unions. Rev. Jim Roberts, a Bur- naby priest who was involved in Solidarity, a coalition of labor and other groups op- posed to provincial govern- ment spending constraints, said he is happy the bishops “have seen the justice of the workers’ complaint about the Eaton's corporation. This is very significant.” He called the bishops’ statement “rather unique” because it's the first time they have taken a specific stance, though they have made several similar state- ments on the principle of supporting the workers and women specifically. Liberal appointee suing OTTAWA (CP) — Joel Bell, fired as president of the Canada Development Invest ment Corp., is suing the CDIC for more than $3 million in lost pay, benefits and damages. Bell had a five-year con- tract with the CDIC, and had served only two years before he was fired Oct. 30, the first dismissal of a senior Liberal appointee by the new Mul. roney government. The Ottawa Citizen says in a published report that ac cording to a source close to Bell, he had not received any pay after Oct. 30 despite his contract. “He tried everything else before doing this, but it's been six months and nothing has happened,” The Citizen quoted the source as saying Bell's lawyer, Richard Shibley, confirmed that the statement of claim filed in the Ontario Supreme Court in Toronto on Friday includes $950,000 for the r Brian L.

However, the DBA now says it will wait until later this summer to see if it wants council to proceed with a refer- endum. The DBA's decision follows a meet- ing of council's committee of the whole which recommended that letters be sent to both the DBA and the Castlegar Chamber of Commerce asking them to poll their members on the issue of Sunday shopping. Since then, the Lord’s Day Act — used by many provinces to control Sunday eee — has been ruled to hold referendums on the issue. DBA president Jack Parkin says members haven't yet been polled on the Sunday shopping issue because the DBA understands there may be some changes to Sunday shopping regula- tions as a result of the Lord's Day Act “There's no point in jumping the gun if the (provincial) government will something,” he said. presigeat Pail Beavece saldeetiion. ber hasn't polled its members either, but added that the Sunday shopping issue will be brought up at a directors’ meeting on Wednesday.

The 27-year-old Castlegar man and his accomplice, Arlene Joan Skelly, 24. of Castlegar, both pleaded guilty to one count of possession of stolen property, and one count of theft over $200 — a car stereo. Skelly, described by defence lawyer Leigh Harrison as a “follower” who “became dependent on Mr. Veller and . looked up to him,” was given a 30-day intermittent sentence to be Chamber manager resigns By RON NORMAN After weeks of speculation, Castle. gar Chamber of Commerce manager Wally Peacock resigned this week. Peacock told the Castlegar News he quit May 1 because the chamber “can't afford a manager.” Chamber president paul Moroso con firmed that lack of funds for a full-time manager was the reason for Peacock's resignation. However, Moroso stressed that Pea. cock’s departure was amicable. “There was no animosity involved.” He said Peacock has agreed to help the cham ber “in any way he can.” “We had to review our level of management services and make them consistent with our budget,” said Moroso “ A big part of it was the budget problem.” The chamber had two full-time employees: Peacock and a secretary receptionist. Moroso said the chamber found it “difficult to run two full-time people in the office.” He added that the chamber will de cide what it will do next at a directors meeting this week. “We're going to review what our requirements are,” he said. Moroso said the chamber's office — a trailer located on a vacant piece of property next to the Community Com plex — will continue to be staffed by continued on page A2 served in weekdays. Neither of the accused had any pre- vious criminal record. Originally, a total of 34 counts had been leveled against the pair in con- nection with $45,000 of stolen goods recovered Dec. 15 near Celgar Road close to Keenleyside Dam, and at Vel- ler’s house. However, most of those charges were stayed. On Dec. 15, 1984 $8,800 worth of stereo equipment and a rifle were stolen from the residence of Mike Zan- ussi of Robson. The cache of stolen goods was found on Celgar Road, and other stolen property — including tele- visions, household appliances and fur. niture — was later found at Veller's home on the same day the Castlegar jail on Veller and Skelly were arrested Dec. 15, the court was told. One of the items found in Veller’s house was a pair of car stereo speak ers; part of a car stereo system re ported stolen by Al Jensen of Robson in August 1984. Veller's fingerprints were matched to those found on a car stereo attachment in Jensen's vehicle. Veller’s lawyer Richard Spilker said Veller didn’t sell any of the stolen property and “there was no profit motive whatsoever.” Spilker said when he asked Veller pron fbptarapea he ot pri city to the DBA. The chamber received the letter for information purposes, he said. why he kept some of the property, much of which was “of little or no value,” Veller replied that “he ex- pected one day he would be caught and the people who owned it would want it back.” Probation officer Patricia Rogers said Veller “isn't typical” of those charged with theft, and said he wasn't a security risk. She recommended that Veller be sentenced to a community correctional centre. Presiding Judge Stewart Enderton also recommended this in sentencing Veller. Skelly was portrayed by Harrison as someone who had “no strong and secure family environment” in her teenage years. Harrison said Skelly's father was a truck driver often away on long-distance trips, and her mother had a reduced mental capacity as a result of an operation on a brain tumor. Skelly looked up to Veller, viewing him as “half-husband, half-father in this regard,” said Harrison. Both Veller and Skelly were raised largely in isolation and “did regard themselves as the two of them without feedback or strengths from the rest of the world,” Harrison said. Following sentencing lawyers for the pair said Veller and Skelly won't appeal their sentences.
