a RTE August 1, 1990 pode COE toc CAL/PROVINCIAL NEWS == Natives want sovereignty VANCOUVER (CP) — B.C. In- dians would gain sovereignty status under a treaty proposal released Tuesday by the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs. Chief Saul Terry said the 15-page called a framework treaty, is ment | to be the basis for all future government discussions with B.C. natives. Indians want to be able to negotiate claims with the federal government that would create entities similar to provinces, he said. Terry was critical of federal Indian Affairs Minister Tom Siddon’s ap- proach to bargaining native. land claims. “The department is totally bankrupt of any. new ideas or proposals for dealing with the land question,”’ he “Confrontations may increase in number and intensity as a direct result of the government's lack of political will and imagination The proposed treaty’s release came in the third week of B.C. Indian road blockades and protests in support of Mohawk Indians involved in an ar- med standoff in Oka, Que. RCMP phone our Circulation Department at 365-7266. said about 10 protests continued across British Columbia. The actions prompted a variety of government responses Tuesday: — Premier Bill Vander Zalm per- suaded native leaders to dismantle a blockade at Kitwancool, kilometres northwest of V The band chiefs told « premier they want ownership of they are claiming and want an im- mediate halt to all logging and mining on the disputed territory. Vander Zalm promised neither, but asked, the band to wait three weeks, when he promises to act on recom- mendations from his Native Affairs Advisory Council. He also warned against further roadblocks. “Comes a time when people become discouraged with this . . . and in fact their sympathy or support tur- ns to anger,” he said. Earlier in the day, Siddon told reporters he was confident the B.C. government will eventually join in negotiations to resolve 22 Indian land claims in the province. But he said a haring formula for still has to be developed. Siddon said recent roadblocks by Indians have brought into focus the “British Columbia munities and leadership have kept up a relentless pressure on both gover- nments and I commend them for doing that,"’ he said. Chief Terry said he gave the union’s negotiating document to Sid- don on Monday and the minister im- dicated he would discuss the content with Indians within a month.

The treaty also calls for compen- sation from Ottawa for past damage rgani to move VICTORIA (CP) — The organizers of the annual Stein Valley festival should move the event to the Pacific National Exhibition grounds in Van- couver rather than hold it in the Van- couver suburb of Tsawwassen, Solicitor General Russ Fraser said Tuesday. The festival, expected to attract about 30,000 people over the three- day holiday weekend, will produce a massive traffic jam aboard the B.C. Ferries terminal, he said. The B.C. Day weekend is usually the busiest of the year for the ferry system. The festival has been held for five years near Pemberton, about 120 kilometres north of Vancouver. It was organized to publicize opposition to plans to log the Stein Valley, the last unlogged watershed in south- western British Columbia. Organizers decided to move the to Indian land. Terry refused to put a price on the compensation. The council has said nearly three-quarters of the land in British Columbia is covered by land claims. urged festival event to the Tsawwassen Indian reser- ve, 35 kilometres south of Vancouver, because of threats by Pemberton residents to set up roadblocks. The residents are upset at recent blockades by Indians. Earlier this week, Premier Bill Vander Zalm offered to let the festival be held on the PNE grounds in east Vancouver. Native spokesman John McCandless said ,then that organizers preferred to hold the festival on Indian lands. Fraser says the organizers don’t realize how difficult it will be for crowds to get to the Tsawwassen reserve. Fraser predicts massive traf- fic jams as some 30,000 festival-goers battle with holiday traffic from the nearby B.C. ferry terminal. Fraser said the provincial gover- nment will even provide the festival with financial support if organizers will move the event to the PNE.

CasNews photo by Ed Mills Though her mom or dad might not be too plessed when it comes time to do washing, Ashley Biller, 6, is en| moment on the merry-go-aroun: joying the d at Kinnaird Park Sunday. Trees destroyed, reward offered By CasNews Staff A $500 reward is being offered for any information leading to the arrest of the person or persons who have been cutting down trees along Columbia River in the Robson area, said Ken Wyllie, director of Area J on the Regional District of Central Kootenay board. Wyllie said he is of- fering the reward in his capacity as RDCK director. Over the last two weeks a large number of young trees, ranging in size up to 200 centimetres (20 inches) in diameter, have been cut down and left along Road, i Robson wharf, Wyllie said today. The RCMP and the Ministry of Highways have been informed and local residents are keeping watch but no suspects have been identified yet, he said. Wyllie noted no trees seem to have been cut this week. The young trees were planted a number of years ago after a ‘‘com- munity outcry’’ arose when the Ministry of Highways cut older trees along the river bank, Wyllie said. The trees that are being cut down now ‘‘had just gotten to the stage of being a visual buffer zone” along most of the trees downstream of the Road, he said. “This is senseless vandalism." TOURIST ALERT wrongful dismissal suit by fired deputy health minister Stan Dubas with a counterclaim and a statement of defence that would deny severance pay to the former civil servant. Dubas was dismissed last May after a review of his travel expenses, par- ticularly those from a 1988 trip to Europe with then-health minister Peter Dueck. He filed a wrongful dismissal suit in B.C. Supreme Court, saying the government’s action was unfair, that he maintained careful scrutiny over expenses, and it was he who brought to the government’s attention that Siemens Electric paid some costs of the trip. Siemens Electric, a major West German company, is a supplier of hospital equipment to B.C. Dubas says he was earning $102,500 when he was fired. The government says he was paid $102,900. In its counterclaim, the government is seeking damages for breach ef con- tract, particularly repayment of amounts found by the court to have been paid to Dubas to which he was not entitled. The government’s statement of defence says Dubas was terminated for cause and is not entitled to severance pay. The government says Dubas | was VANCOUVER (CP) — Tourist Alert issued today by the RCMP.

Paraplegic Association. The car was restored, refinished and repainted in a pink pearl finish by Ron Sims and Gary Mowery, two disabled Cranbrook residents. Sims is a sheet metal journeyman and Mowery is a trained and licen- ced autobody repairman. The two men have spent time in the Castlegar area and were assisted by Doug Haugen, a disabled Castlegar resident. The car will be raffled off by mid-October. Tickets are available at the Book Shop in downtown Castlegar, Carl’s Drugs in the Castleaird Plaza and Banjo’s Pub. The money raised will be used to fund a BCPA office in Cranbrook to serve the East Kootenay and supplement facilities currently available in Ymir. The offices provide information, assistance and coun- selling to disabled people and their families throughout the Kootenays. The officers also try to make the public and local government aware of BCPA ‘services and and opportunities, education, elimination of architectural barriers, transportation, and suitable shelter for disabled people, a news release said. LAURIE-ANNE BARISOFF of Castlegar has won a $1,000 scholarship from the B.C. Government Employees Union, one of just three awarded in the province. Every year, the BCGEU Provides the ips for student i who are their education. The applicant is required to be a BCGEU member or related to a BCGEU member and write an essay on a topic chosen by the union. This year’s topic was ‘‘Why were trade unions formed in British Columbia, why do they exist today, and what does the future hold for the trade union movement in British Columbia?’’ The essays are judged on content and composition. Barisoff’s spouse, Tom Soroka, is a BCGEU mémber who works as a social program officer for the Ministry of Social Services and Housing. Barisoff will attend Selkirk College this fall. KIMBERLEY has. its Bavarian theme while Grand Forks is building on its Doukhobor culture. Now a community in Ontario — Moonbeam — has @ecided on a roadside monument to make the town stick out in the minds of tourists. Just as Sudbury has its Big Nickel agd St. Thomas, Ont., has-a life-size statue of Jumbo, Moon- beam has decided to build a flying saucer, complete with flashing lights that rotate. Total cost of the project will be $300,000. Closer to home, Newport, Wash., has adopted a less costly but extremely effective method of making its city remain in the minds of tourists and start their cameras clicking. City fathers and the local chamber of commerce have co-operated to make Newport “*The City of All roads leading into the city, and main streets within it, have flag poles displaying world flags and even the flags of individual states and Canadian provinces. And when city residents have an out-of-state visitor, they need only contact city hall and arrangements are made to fly the flag of the visitor's country, province or state in front of city hall where the visitors can then have their photos taken with it. The result: Thousands of tourists now have home movies and holiday photos of a small community tucked away near the Idaho border in northeastern Washington that decided it was going to put itself on the tourist map in a simple, cost-effective but im- pressive way.

The decision to capture three whales was based on zoological prin- ciples and the hunt in Hudson Bay will proceed as planned, Hewlett said. “We didn't just pull the figures three out of the air. This is a very opposing the aquarium’s plan to cap- ture three belugas this month at Churchill, Man. The Aquarium wants to add two males and one female to its Arctic Canada exhibit, which now holds two females.
