Cy V8V 1x4 Fasters reject meeting By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer Two elderly Sons of Freedom women now in the 100th day of their hunger strike in Matsqui medium-se- curity prison have refused to meet with the National Parole Board. Tina Jmaeff, 63, and Mary Braun, 67, have not eaten since Aug. 18 to protest their eight-year prison terms for arson. Both women remain bed-rid- den in serious but stable condition. Along with fellow Freedomite Mary Astaforoff, Jmaeff and Braun re- ceived a federal pardon following a lengthy hunger strike in 1983. They were jailed again for a 1985 arson, but were paroled this spring. They re- turned to prison in the summer because they were considered “a risk to the community” because of their long histories of repeated arsons. The two are refusing to meet with the parole board because they feel it would be an admission of guilt. They say they prefer an unconditional dis- charge, which can only come in the form of a pardon from Solicitor General James Kelleher. “They've told us through an in. stitution spokesman that they aren't interested in parole,” said Fraser Sim mons, B.C. regional manager of the parole board. “That means there will be no hearing.” The parole board was to hold a hearing Dec. 8. Simmons said the convicted ar- sonists could obtain their release through a pardon. He said if pardon is requested the board is usually asked to * make recommendations but “no ma- terial has reached us.” “It's (the parole hearing) in two weeks. That's too long to wait,” said Laura Savinkoff, spokesman for the Sons of Freedom. The Freedomites have also had no response to telegrams they sent earlier this month to federal authorities re- questing a pardon. “We are still trying to get through all the red tape,” Savinkoff said. INSIDE Chicken rights STOCKHOLM — Cows, pigs and Election roundup page A7 Olympic celebration planned Participants in the parade are asked to buy an Olympic candle but By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer The Castlegar Celebration 88 committee has come up with four events in an attempt to create aware- ness of the 1988 Calgary Olympic Games. The events planned are: Cele bration 88 medal programs; e a torchlight run; a torchlight parade;~~ @ and a dinner to honor Castlegar native Felix Belczyk, a member of Canada’s national men’s ski team. , The federal government is spon- soring Celebration 88 committees in communities across Canada. The Castlegar committee is headed by Alexia Turner. “Our actual function is to raise awareness of the Olympics. Whatever money we raise is to go back into the ” Turner said today. BRIDGE REPAIRS . . Ken Nyman (left) and Al Martin replace rotten planks She said Freedomites believe “the government is just trying to break us.” “When we came to this country we were granted freedom of religion,” she said, adding that Freedomites have been under “subtle pressure” and “constant harrassment” to assimilate. ‘The current hunger strike is longest the women have been on. They have gone without food before for periods of 60 days. The B.C. Court of Appeal ruled in 1983 that prisoners cannot be force fed as long as they are able to refuse treatment.

Belezyk, whovis.in Europe training with the nationAl#kbteam for the Olympics, will not be able to attend the dinner. The torchlight run is expected to start at Selkirk College, wind its way through Brilliant, Robson and Castle- gar to the Safeway store on Columbia Avenue. The run will include local runners who will run designated distances passing the torch from one runner to another. Turner said candidates are asked to fill out application forms and a selection committee will pick the participants. Once the torch reaches Safeway, a parade will begin, moving from the Safeway parking lot to the Community Complex. Privatization tops legislature agenda By BONNE MORGAN Staff W Privatization was the major topic the provin- 88 medal program, the committee will choose outstanding individuals in the com. munity who have demonstrated the Olympic spirit in the areas of athletics, volunteerism, coaching, officiating and Turner said the committee is asking for nominations of people who fit any of the categories mentioned. The torchlight run, torchlight parade and the Felix Belezyk ap- cial legislature began a new session, Rossland-Trail MLA Chris D'Arcy said. “My main concern is the govern- ment’s intention to contract aut essential public services,” D'Arcy said in an interview this morning. D'Arcy said the privatization of winter maintenance of highways is im- portant to this area besides being “the main issue for the province of B.C.” “I know the risks in terms of public safety, but I'm not sure of the bene- fits,” said D’Arey, adding, that priv- itized highways maintenance would not save taxpayers any money. D’Arey also said privatization “goes beyond safety on highways,” hospital services and the monitoring of toxic wastes where it “risks the public government which is directly account- able to the public. The government should be working to strengthen the continved on page A2 Turner said it is hard to say at this time how much money will be raised through the candles. “That depends, We make $1.50 per candle and its profit depends on how involved the (Castlegar-Selkirk) Lions Club becomes,” said Turner. ‘The final event will be the Belezyk appreciation dinner which is geared towards honoring the local Olympian and wishing him luck at the winter games. requests increase ade ts el dating’) Wane fon jump in circulation and programs since moving into the new library, the Castlegar and Distriet Library Board asked Castlegar couneil for a 10 per cent increase in — ora total of $102,000 — is needed for 1988. “ “The services, the progranis the circulation is just growing at an astonishing rate,” Chmara told council.” She said the average monthly circulation has risen to 7,127 from 3,169 for the same period last year. “That's double in just the few months we've been in the library.” Chmara pointed out that the new library is open 45 hours a week and staffed by three librarians — “none of whom are full time.” She compared that to Nelson's library, which is open 48 hours a week but has 5.2 librarians. At the same time, Chmara said Castlegar’s library has a per capita useage of 10.9 books a year. Nelson has a per capita rate of 8.7 books a year. Chmara also noted that the Castlegar library has a full-time volun- teer crew. She said two volunteers are on hand for every hour the library is open. That totals 90 hours of volunteer labor a week. She said that doesn’t include another 14 hours a week of “drop-in” volunteers, who help with such things as dusting the bookshelves. and Chmara said the large number of volunteers indicates the support for the library in the community. “We can’t tell you how much the library means to the community,” she since 1977,” she said, adding that the cost for the average book has risen more than 100 per cent. However, Chmara said the lib- rary’s book budget hasn't increased since 1983. She said that means the library just isn't purchasing as many books as it once did. “We're averaging 1,081 books a year, whereas we used to average 2,000 books a year.” Ald. Nick Oglow called the in- creased funding “quite reasonable” in view of the increased useage. The library's budget was referred to the administration and finance com- mittee for review in the city’s pro- visional budget, Liberals prepare for next election By CasNews Staff The B.C. Liberal Party is going full force to boost membership and raise money for the next federal election, says the party's recently elected president. “If we are going to win this election, we are going to do it on a month-to-month basis,” says Grant Burnyeat. Burnyeat was in Castlegar to promote a Liberal party membership drive for the Kootenay West-Revel- stoke riding. A “founding meeting” was held at Selkirk College Monday and a new executive was elected. Burnyeat, a Vancouver lawyer, was elected provincial president at a party convention in May. “The Liberal party, like most parties, tends to be more organized during election time,” Burnyeat said in an interview Tuesday. He is hoping to increase membership above the 266 people who showed up at Selkirk College. “This riding has done really quite well,” said Burnyeat, adding that the popularity of the Liberals, “tends to alternate back and forth with the collapse of Tory support. We're hoping to pick up some of that support.” Burnyeat said one of the main areas of-congern expressed at Mon- smelting industries in this area, but the agreements on water and power would have adverse effects. “It appears the Americans have been given free access to power,” he said. ‘Burnyeat said that in times of international water shortages, Canada would have to share in the shortages 23 well, rather than only providing the U.S. with our excess water. “We happen to think that just isn't in the best interest of the people,” he said. “What we're most upset about is that there really isn’t a great deal of discussion.” Three vice-presidents elected for this riding are: For Castlegar, Barry Jackson; Alan Birch for Nelson; and Garry Jenkins for Rossland. Maureen Oliver was elected secretary, and Hans Hubert was elected treasurer. Burnyeat will be through the aréa again in the spring.
