‘ VANCOUVER (CP) — Leadership candidate Stephen Rogers has indicated he will not serve in cabinet or run in the next provincial election if Bill Vander Zalm is elected Social Credit party leader next week. Rogers told the Vancouver Sun editorial board Monday that there is one leadership candidate he could not serve under, and he indicated he finds fundamentalist Christian: values i: for B.C.'s rs ly diverse society. In announcing his candidacy, Vander Zalm stated that he wants “to bring to government high moral standards based on true Christian principles.” Rogers said that in his riding of. Vancouver South, “Christians probably don't even make up 50 per cent of the people in the riding and I don't think we should be a Christian party or a Christian province. ppropria' “The. only thing that should hold the Socreds together is the drive for . . . individual enterprise.” Vander Zalm is considered one of four front-runners in the 12-person leadership race. “So much of his policy is the very last thing that any body said to him — whether it was a cab driver or some body he talked to in the hallway,” Rogers said. “Within 60 days of being elected .. . there won't be a need for food banks in B.C.,” Smith said in an interview. Provincial Secretary Grace McCarthy, a leadership rival and former human resources minister, called the idea “insanity.” Sylvia Russell, head of the Vancouver Food Bank, said such a scheme would be difficlft to implement within 60 days. But Smith was determined. “We can get rid of the food banks and we will get rid of the food banks,” he said. “There are different ways to do it.” McCarthy said the food stamp program has not worked in the United States, and Americans are looking for a more effective solution to the problem of hunger. Issuing food stamps would put a stamp on poor families by taking away their pride, said McCarthy. The way to reduce food banks is to improve the economy and create jobs, she said. And Social Credit president Hope Wotherspoon said the party will not tell consituency associations whether they should meet ip candidates behind closed doors. Rogers won't run for Vander Zalm “We are firm believers in local autonomy,” she said in a telephone interview. Some leadership contenders were uncomfortable bar reporters from an all-candidates meeting in Abbotsford Monday evening. It was the second such meeting at which the media were excluded. Grace McCarthy has opposed closed a from the beginning, her spokesman John Plul “She really did not like the idea of closed meetings and would have preferred an open meeting, but was not prepared to make an issue of it to the constituency because it’s really their own meeting,” he said. Bill Vander Zalm was also not happy about the decision, his spokesman Charles Giordano said. “It should be open to the press. We have nothing to hide.” Georgetti to seek B.C.

Coiderbont ROYAL WEDDING continued from front poge today to Portugal's Azores islands in the Atlantic for their honeymoon. An estimated television audience of 300 million people received a ringside seat at the nuptials, and were able to wateh freckle-faced Sarah and square-jawed Andrew in close-up as they exchanged vows. The bridal gown, kept a secret until today, was embroidered with bees and thistles from her family coat of arms, and anchors and waves signifying Andrew's naval career. The train was more than five-metres long. The bride's headdress, loaned by a family friend, ineluded a leaf scroll and diamond collet tiara mounted in platinum, a silk veil and a garland of flowers. MEET AT ALTER The bride walked up the aisle escorted by her father, Maj. Ronald Ferguson, the Queen's polo manager. She met Andrew at the rose-pink altar among the memorials to British monarchs who have been crowned, married and buried at the abbey for nine centuries. “Dad will make a joke, for sure,” interview on the eve of the nuptials. “We're exceptionally close . . . so it will be terribly moving when we get into that door and go up that sea of blue,” she said. The bride's mother Susan, who divoreed Sai 's father, was in the congregation of 2,000, along with her husband, Hector Barrantes. Hundreds camped outside the abbey and palace Tues- day night. Passing drivers honked jubilantly, and revellers in party hats waved Union Jacks. she said in an Andrew, a navy lieutenant, is four months younger than Sarah and the third of the Queen's four children to marry. His choice of a commoner bride upholds a tradition that has always existed but has accelerated since 1960 when Andrew's aunt Margaret, married photographer Anthony Armstrong-Jones. Charles and Princess Anne also married commoners. Prince Edward is the only bachelor left in the immediate Royal Family. Since Andrew is fourth in line for the throne and unlikely to reign, his wedding was less extravagant than the 1981 nuptials of Prince Charles and Diana Spencer. Officially, the wedding was not a state occasion, and no foreign heads of state attended. The 3,600 police and troops mobilized to guard against terrorist attack were fewer than the 5,000:deployed in 1981, and the expected worldwide TV audience was 300 million, compared with the 750 million who watched Charles wed Diana. The wedding ceremony, mapped out to the minute, left no room for surprises. Nor did any come out of the interviews the bride and bridegroom gave the British media on Tuesday. AVOIDS QUESTIONS They came across as a modern British couple with a fondness for tradition. Andrew dwelt on his career as a Royal Navy helicopter pilot. Sarah talked about keeping her job with a publishing firm, and said ghe plans to learn to fly so she cah better understand her husband's profession. Gone was any hint of Andrews playboy image, and no interviewer risked any questions about past love affairs such as his whirl with Kathleen (Koo) Stark, the American starlet whose early roles included goft-eore pornography. Car ends up in drink ti, president of Local 480 of the Steel workers’ Union at Cominco in Trail, announced Monday he will seek the presidency of the British Columbia Feder- ation of Labor. Georgetti, 34, will run on a slate with Cliff Andstein, who is seeking re-election as federation secretary- treasurer. The pair announced their intentions at a press con- ference in Vancouver. The BCFL convention is sche 11,000-member Telecom- munications Workers Union, and will argue for it in caucus. He said the pair are centre candidates and would have a good chance of winning. But “if somebody like Roy Gau- tier threw his hat in the ring, it would be a real horse race.” Gautier, head of the B.C. and Yukon Building Trades Council, was not available for comment.

Current federation presi- dent Art Kube, who decided in May not to seek re-elec- tion, said he thinks Georgetti will “make a good president.” ‘He's a young guy, he's a comer, he's got natural talent and I'm sure he'll develop and become a good president of the federation.” In announcing their can- didacies, Georgetti and And- stein released a document in which they said the feder- ation “must strengthen its rele as the legitimate voice the 34,000-member B.C.

INONOAKLIN CREEK REPORT ference he and Georgetti have circulated a statement of intent to a majority of officers of the federation, outlining their position on labor issues. Georgetti said the greatest threat to the labor movement in B.C. is the attitude of the government. The public must be informed of the problems facing B.C. unions, including an increase in the number of construction jobs going to non-union firms and other such changes threatening the labor movement, he said. Georgetti was born in Trail and has lived most of his life in the West Kootenay city. He worked as a pipefitter at Cominco and became presi- dent of Local 480 in 1981 He was elected a vice- president of the BCFL in 1984. Two hearings slated By CasNews Staff Aug. 19 at the Sandman Inn A public hearing scheduled i for Aug. 6 to discuss a pro- vincial government report analysing the impact of an Inonoaklin Creek fishway has been postponed to allow more time for public review and consideration of the report, a news release from the study leading to the report lacked input from local residents. The government has now scheduled two public meet- ings to obtain feedback from those citizens or groups wishing to offer their views on the report, the release says. The first meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Aug. 18 at the Edgewood Community Hall in Edgewood. A second public meeting has been scheduled for 7 p.m. “The hed associa. tion is not happy at all with the report,” Dave Bilinski said. “Local people have not had any input into the impact statement.” Bilinski, who urged resi- dents to attend the public “There's a lot of issues in there (the report) that haven't been answered,” he said. The report, a joint study of the Inonoaklin fishway by the Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Agriculture, con- tains three options. One option, supported by Castlegar city council, calls for a water management plan for Inonoaklin Creek that would expand both irrigation for Inonoaklin Valley farmers and the Lower Arrow Lake fishery. The other two include: options @ enhancing fish pro duction by building a fish ladder at Inonoaklin Falls and expanding the hatchery at Hill Creek on the Upper Arrow Lake, while curtailing any further irrigation by farmers without water stor. age; dropping all plans for en- hancing fish production and allowing expanded irrigation by farmers. The study says the most economical means of in creasing streamflows in In- onoaklin Creek is to store water in Box Lake at the upper end of the creek. Other options to increase streamflow mentioned in the study include diverting water from Barnes Creek which is just north of the Inonoaklin Valley and in- creasing the water supply from groundwater sources. The study says the total cost of improving irrigation in the valley is estimated at $5.8 million, with farmers paying the majority of that. However, increased bene- fits would total $6.2 million for a net benefit of $400,000, the study says.

WOODWORKERS Report puts price tag on Star wars WASHINGTON (Reuter) — An effective space-based defence system to protect the United States and Canada from Soviet nuclear missiles could cost $670 billion U.S. and sharply increase federal taxes, said a report released Tuesda; y- The private study, pre pared for the Johns Hopkins Foreign Policy Institute, es- timated it would cost an additional $160 billion to pro- teet Western Europe from short range missiles and in. crease NATO's conventional forces. Accurate interceptor mis. siles, battle-management satellites and space-based chemical lasers might be de ployed in the year 2020 to protect U.S. offensive missile sites and 47 major population centres in the United States and Canada, said the report by Barry Blechman and Vic tor Utgoff.

ESTIMATE COST Blechman and Utgoff said their study was not intended strategic defence initiative, ly called Star Wars, against nuclear missiles in flight could mean tax in- creases of between $260 and $570 a year for many families in the United States or a 50-per-cent boost in corpor. ate taxes over 10 years after the system was deployed. “To fund annual peak op- erating costs would require an 11-per-cent increase in in- dividual taxes or 50 per cent but to provide a rough esti- mate of the cost of several possible systems.

Ride’s creator fired EDMONTON (CP) — The man whose reputation Triple Five Corp. relied on to build a safe roller-coaster when it purchased the Mindbender ride was fired while the coaster was being built, a company spokesman said Tuesday Michael Mooney, Triple Five's director of develop. ment, was testifying at an inquiry into the June 14 roller-coaster accident that killed three people at West Edmonton Mall. He said he learned after the tragedy that Anton Sch. warzkopf had been fired in early 1985, months before the ride was completed. The decision to buy the roller-coaster was made be cause “the presence of Sch warzkopf gave us the design we wanted,” Mooney said, You'll find Business Directory advertising pays! 365-5210 adding that Triple Five be. lieved Schwarzkopf's involve. ment gave an assurance of quality control. However, Schwarzkopf was fired early in the con struction of the Mindbender ride, which was not com pleted until late 1985. By then, a receiver had taken over and finished building the roller-coaster. Just before the factory was placed in receivership in mid-1985, Mooney asked com pany officials about Schwar- zkopf and was led to believe he still worked for the amusement ride manu facturer in the German town of Munsterhausen. BUILT THE B! In testimony Monday, Triple Five president Eskan dar Ghermezian said other ride operators told him Sch- warkopf GMBH built the best and safest roller-coasters in the world. “I thought I was getting the Rolls-Royce of roller- coasters,” Ghermezian said. Between the time Triple Five officials became aware of Schwarzkopf's reputation and the decision to buy the Mindbender, Schwarzkopf was forced to sell his firm WAMPOLES : STRESS because of financial lems. “He wanted, he demanded everything be as safe as humanly possible,” Mooney said Tuesday of Ghermez ian’s safety standards. The ride was inspected by German authorities when it opened and after the Mind bender accident, he said, and no problems were disc- covered.
