July 16, 1986 ENTERTAINMENT MOSCOW (Reuter) — The Soviet answer to Rambo is a strong father figure with a generous “Russian soul” who reluctantly kills Americans to defend the “moral and unmaterialistie” Soviet way of life. Contrasting with the bare-chested and macho Sylvester Stallone of Rambo and Rocky movie fame, Mikhail Nozhkin, 49, star of Mosfilm studio's new box-office hit “Odinochnos Plavanie” (Solo Voyage), plays the part of a cool commando officer who foils a mad CIA plot. The multi-million ruble film shot last Czechoslovakia, Cuba, the Crimea and Moscow, is slicker than most Soviet movies and seems to fit Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev's bill for art that is both inspiring and popular The official Soviet media sharply criticized the American Rambo films, in which Stallone played an anti-communist Vietnam veteran, saying they were blood thirsty and crudely anti-Soviet Solo Voyage, made by Mikhail Tumanishvili and now showing in a number of Soviet cities, has gruesome gunbattles and knife fights in various tropical settings but is careful to show that not all Americans are bad guys.

The movie begins with a group of American arms industry bosses strolling on a golf course and worrying ‘about the effects of a possible disarmament deal with Moscow on their profits. Then the scene shifts to a large country house with a swimming pool where CIA agents, lounging, sipping cocktails nd eating exotic fruits, are planning to sink an American passenger liner with a sea-launched missile and make it look as if Soviet warships were responsible. The man put in charge of the mission made his reputation for cruelty during the Vietnam War. First he is shown in a brothel and later he strangles his Asian masseur in a fit of rage while preparing the provocation against the Russians. The plan goes awry and the missile sinks a yacht with a young American couple on board.

Mike Dench, an instructor for Southern Interior Flight- craft, said he was teaching a group of people in an office at the north end of the runway when he saw passengers evacuated. They began walking back toward the terminal. “They asked me, ‘Where's the airport?’,” he said. “They were out of the aircraft in two to three minutes. There was a lot of joking.” Three people were taken to Kelowna General Hospital, but none were seriously injured. They were identified as a woman with a sprained ankle, an elderly woman and a pregnant women with a young child. RECOVER RECORDER Al Clark, from the Can. adian Aviation Safety Board, said early investigation had not revealed why the aircraft was unable to stop. Investi gators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder and a flight data recorder and hope they will reveal some con crete information by today, he said. Kelowna airport manager Roger Sellick would say only that the runway was wet. Passenger Jean Pushor said she really didn't know what was going on adding, “I never felt afraid at all. Pushor was returning from a 50th wedding anniversary celebration in Edmonton. As the plane neared Kelowna, she said passengers were told that a severe thunder. storm was passing through the area and the plane's landing would be delayed while the storm passed. When they were landing, Pushor said she remembered thinking the plane wasn't slowing down. “Then it got really bumpy. I put my hands up on the front seat. There was no sound.” She said all of a sudden the plane stopped and a voice said, “Evacuate.” “None of us were fright ened,” Pushor said. “We were all out in a minute.” CUPE continues campaign KELOWNA, B.C.

But there doesn't seem to be anything anyone can do about it. The problem arose when the Regional District of Central Kootenay borrowed $1.2 million in U.S. funds in 1976 from the Municipal Finance Authority to construct the Community Complex. The U.S. exchange rate at the time was around 90 cents. Since then the rate has plummeted to today’s level of 74 cents. “We got caught right in a low dip,” explains Reid Henderson, regional district administrator. “We're facing a horrendous foreign exchange rate. Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore agrees: “The exchange rate certainly is not helping.” Moore; along with the other regional directors, asked the MFA to investigate_a way to buy out the_ debentures and refinance them. “We've been watching and trying to find a way to get out of it,” Moore said. But the MFA says it isn't that easy In a letter to the regional board, MFA secretary-trea surer James Craven points out that MFA may not have the option of buying out the debentures. But Craven adds that even if the MFA could buy out the loan, “it might be unlikely that we would want to convert them to Canadian dollars at this time.” He pointed to exchange rate forecasts which show the Canadian dollar growing stronger over the next few years. While the dollar traded Tuesday at 74 cents US., investment dealer Wood Gundy projects the exchange rate will be about 76. cents in December 1988. “The consensus among other investment dealers seems to favor the view of a higher Canadian dollar rather than a lower one,” says Craven. Old claims waived LONDON (CP) — Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze and British Foreign Secretary Sir Geof- frey Howe have agreed to waive financial claims arising out of the Bolshevik Re- volution. Henderson agrees, noting that the rate has already increased from a low of less than 70 cents. “Rates are going to improve even further,” he said. Besides, adds Henderson, interest rates are higher now than when the debentures were taken out in 1976. So the regional district would not only take a “horrendous” loss by converting the loan to Canadian dollars, but it would have to pay a higher interest rate. Adds Craven: “It is my feeling that we should continue to sit on our hands until the Canadian dollar has moved up a bit more and perhaps at the 75 cent or 77 cent range (if we reach it) consider some forward helping strategy.” The loan is the only loan Castlegar has in U.S. dollars. The debenture for the sewer system was also in U.S. dollars until last year when it was converted to Canadian funds. Moore explained that the sewer debenture had a clause in it allowing for conversion of the loan to Canadian dollars after five years. Soviets moved farther away from Chernobyl!

No new talks are planned Tom Smithwick, chief ne gotiator for the municipali ties, said no negotiations will take place until one side is willing to alter its position. By CasNews Staff Firemen at the Castlegar Airport fire department were in for a surprise last Friday afternoon when they came face-to-face with a bear in the firehall. Fire chief Gerry Rempel said the bear was spotted on the airport runway and attempts were made to herd it through the airport fence. But the bear had another idea. It ran into the firehall instead and made its way into the hall's lunchroom where it surprised “four or five guys.” Rempel isn’t sure how the bear got on to the runway in the first place, but said there was some concern because it posed a potential hazard to aircraft. No scheduled flights were delayed because of the bear A conservation officer was eventually called to the scene and destroyed the bear. “He was big enough that he would doa lot of damage Sto a person,” Rempel comment were were sent to new homes and jobs in distant regions of the Soviet Union, but many remained in temporary housing near the zone Izvestia said most of those evacuated want to remain near their own homes and once were promised they would not be taken far away.

New Democrats miss deadline VICTORIA (CP) Two New Democrats failed to meet the deadline Tuesday for filing their financial dis closure statements required by law. Karen Sanford (NDP-Co- mox) said in a note to the clerk of the legislature that her disclosure forms have been completed and signed and “are in the mail from my constituency office.” Alex Macdonald (NDP Vancouver East) is travelling in Europe and is not expected to be back until the end of this week at the eafliest, his secretary said. Disclosure statements have been filed by all other members of the legislature under the Financial Dis closure Act, which requires twice-yearly written state ments on Jan. 15 and July 15.

The United States walked out of the talks with the Soviet Union and Britain in 1980, saying it would be difficult to verify any agree- ment. Shevardnadze and Howe signed the Anglo-Soviet agreement Tuesday ending a financial wrangel dating from the 1917 revolution. Both sides agreed to waive claims arising from the revolution. The agreement, one of three signed by Shevardn- adze and Howe, amounts toa windfall of the equivalent of about $94 million Canadian to creditors, including British holders of Imperial Russian bonds Those bonds had been repudiated by the Soviet government and were long considered worthless. London banker Robin Broadley said the beautifully scripted certificates “were more valuable as lampshades than anything else for many years.” TRADE INVOLVED A second agreement sign ed by the two ministers was a trade accord that could in new export orders for British firms, and the third concerns steps to reduce the risk of accidents at sea by Soviet and British navy ships and aircraft on manoeuvres. co-operation result The agreement concerning claims and counterclaims by the British and Soviet gov ernments after the Bolshevik Revolution had been sought for more than 60 years. After the Communist take- over in November 1917, the Soviets repudiated all fin ancial obligations of the last czar, Nicholas II, who was shot with his family by the Bolsheviks at Ekaterinburg in 1918.
