Basquiat also did “subway work” when he was young. However, he grabbed the at- tention of the art world in the late 1970s, writing anarchis- tic ditties on Soho walls over the pen name SAMO. After his paintings drew praise from critics in 1980, Basquiat declared SAMO dead and became one of the most visible artists in Soho, known for his temperamental outbursts, his colorful, ir- reverent paintings and his friendship with Warhol.

RAMBO MOST PIRATED. VIDEO. | MONTREAL (CP).— That _rented horror flick you may be about ‘to pop ‘into’-your VCR. could’ be -one ‘of :the thousands of pirated video. cassettes Canada. The Canadian Motion Pic- tures Distributors Associa- tion estimates that between’ 100,000 and 150,000 such cas- setes exist in this country, depriving the industry of $10 tillion in annual revenue. “The worst part is that those figures are probably very conservative,” says Normand Ouimet, a former RCMP officer who heads the association's film security branch. Ouimet says the problem is acute in Quebec, especially in the Montreal area where about 800 video cassette ren- tal clubs operate: But, he adds: “Ontario is not~ far behind.” “First Blood was the most pirated film last year,” said Ouimet. “This year, it's Ram- bo.” Cpl. Jean-Marie Allard of the RCMP says the number of video cassettes being copied illegally is increasing every year: “We had 49 cases, seizing more than 5,000 pirated vid- eo cassettes last year,” said Allard. “During the first ‘sev- en months of this year we had 48 cases, seizing more in. circulation in than 7,000 videos.” He cited a recent. raid on a video, club operator in .sub- urban ‘Lemoyne who was fined: several thousand, dol- lars for renting out: pirated . video cassettes. “Half the 1,700 videos in his store had been pirated,” said Allard. “He told us he didn't know it was illegal.” While most ‘club operators are honest, the RCMP officer said'there are some who find _ it profitable to copy a film and rent it out rather than spend $35 to $90 to buy it from a distributor. “Some of them simply rent the films they want for $2 or $3 from a competitor. The quality of pirated films is not always up to par. Then people become suspicious and call us in.” Ouimet says one of the fac- tors hampering police is that the law they’re trying to en- force is outdated. The Copyright Act of 1924 allows for a fine of $10 for every film copied, ~ maximum of $200 for the first offence and a maximim two- month jail sentence — “with or without hard labor” — for repeat offenders. A Commons committee has made tough new proposals for legislation to revamp copyright laws, calling for penalties of up to $1 million for violators. COMMUNITY NEWS Conservation oftice fully staffed By CHERYL CALDERBANK Staff Writer The Castlegar conservation office is fi p to full staff since positions were moved here from , Grand Forks and Nelson over a year ago and the Castlegar office was established as a zone office. According to Wayne Campbell, senior conservation ” officer and zone supervisor, there now are four conservation officers and a full-time office assistant to serve the zone (known as the Castlegar zone) which stretches’ from the top of the Salmo-Creston summit to the main Kettle River, including the Kettle Valley, to Edgewood and New Denver in the north. The zone covers about 14,000 square kilometres with a population of about 50,000. Prior to moving to Castlegar, there were two-man offices in Trail and Nelson, anda one-man operation i in Grand Forks. When the zone office was created, the offices. in Trail and Grand Forks were shut down and the positions moved here. The Nelson office was reduced to one position, with the other position transferred to Castlegar. The current staff includes Bob Sheppard, who was transferred here from Grand Forks, Jim Corbett, transferred from Scene in September: Martin Melderis, who has just ion training program, and Campbell, who comes from Trail. Gail Harrison is the office assistant. Corbett and Melderis filled vacant positions created with the transfer of a conservation officer from Trail and Nelson. : Corbett came from a small.one-man office in Quesnel in September. Corbett has been a conservation officer for over seven years. Before that he worked for the Fish and Wildlife Branch in Bella Coola for two years. Melderis’ last job was with the parks branch in North Vancouver. He graduated from the Fish and Wildlife program at British Columbia Insti! of T in 1984. NEW OFFICERS . . .

The Campbell said. “We had to take half a dozen bears out of Castlegar.” The conservation office deals with problem bears in municipalities by setting live traps and then disposing of them. They are not relocated. One reason is that there are too many black bears. He also has a certificate in law enforcement and for two years studied biology and envirolnmental science. When the zone office was set up, a toll-free number was installed to permit people in outlying areas to have free access to the office. The conservation office has changed over the years. It no longer sells hunting licences. That’s done by government agents and sports shops. But the conservation officers do deal with things such as calls about nuisance wildlife and hunters who have killed an animal that requires and recently re-- Burstyn’'s career is thriving LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actress Ellen Burstyn will turn 58 on Pearl Harbor Day, Dec. 7; and this could well be termed The Prime of Miss Burstyn. Her acting career is thriving. This fall she starred in a CBS television movie Into Thin Air, a true story about a Colorado youth who disappeared on a drive to Canada. She is currently in movie theatres with Gene Hackman and Ann-Margret in Bud Yorkin's Twice in a Lifetime. The academy Award-winning actress recently finished the HBO movie, Act of Vengeance. She stars with Charles Bronson in a film about the murders of United Mine Workers head Joseph Yablonsky, his wife and daughter. This year Burstyn completed a three-year term as ~ president of the theatrical union, Actors Equity. She was the first woman to hold that post. She continues to serve as artistic director of the prestigious Actors Studio in New York. She was in Los Angeles to help launch Twice in a Lifetime, the story of the breakup of the 30-year marriage of Hackman and Burstyn and how it affects all those concerned. “I admire Bud Yorkin for what he has done,” the actress said. “He not only originated the project, he financed it, and he is releasing it. “He is the classic case of putting your money where your mouth is.” Fortugately, Yorkin has the money; he and Norman Lear were partners in All in the Family and other goldmines. - LOOKS FOR BALANCE “All film executives do nowadays is read the balance sheets, and they see that teenagers are supporting the movies,” she said. “So they make more movies for it a self-fulfill “The studios have been avoiding serious films, and it takes someone with courage, like Bud Yorkin, to make one.” For Burstyn, Act of Vengeance was a new experience. It was her first film for cable TV-and her first project with Charles Bronson. . “He's very quiet,” she observed, “but I must say he lived up to his macho image. One day there was a hornet on the set, and everyone was scurrying around trying to escape. ‘Stay where you ar,’ Charlie said, and he killed it with his bare hands. ‘Very impressive, Mr. Bronson,’ I said.” In both Twice in a Lifetime and Act of Vengeance, Ellen plays women whose lives are centred around their families. co el That's far d from the self. of Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, The Exorcist and others. “The pendulum is always swinging,” she said. “A lot was ished in the way of freedom for women in the THE C.P.

Pauline Berikoff of Gilpin was given the sentence fol- lowing. a trial that began Tuesday in Castlegar provin- cial court. Berikoff, 48, was also charged with one count of failure to appear. On Tuesday, Judge Bruce Josephson found Berikoff guilty of that charge. But he postponed his de- cision to Wednesday on the mischief charge because he said “the matter required more careful consideration.” In delaying his decision, Josephson said the Crown must prove that the mischief took place in relation to public property. “It is an essential ingre- dient Crown must prove,” he said. Berikoff was on trial for setting fire to an article of clothing and throwing it onto a-table in the Castlegar courthouse during a recess after the preliminary hearing fused to defend herself and said she did not want a de- fence counsel. “God is my lawyer,” was all Berikoff would say. Josephson heard five wit- nesses on the mischief charge and one witness on the fail- ure to appear charge during the 45-minute trial. Lawyers Kenneth Wyllie and Greg Stacey testified that they were in the court- room on Sept. 24 when they heard shouts and scuffling and turned to see a naked woman throwing a burning article of clothing onto a table used by defence counsel in the Castlegar courtroom. Stacey said he didn't recog-— nize the woman but Wyllie testified that Berikoff, sitting in the prisoner's box, was the woman he saw with the burning piece of clothing. The court also heard tes- timony from RCMP Sgt. Eli Tetrault of the Nelson de- tachment who said he was called from the cell area of the courthouse at the time of the incident. “I came through the door in time to see a naked lady walking back into the gallery. “The woman in question dly, the Conservation office doesn’t have the staff or the funds to relocate them. - But the conservation office will relocate grizzly bears. And Campbell says that;there are some grizzlies in the West Kootenay. “There are more around here than people reéalize,”” Campbell said. He added that grizzlies are often found in the watersheds in the West Kootenay and in the Slocan Valley apd Salmo areas. _ But he adds that there are seldomi problems with grizzlies in this area. In rural areas, people who complain about problem bears have two; alternatives. They can obtain a hunting licence and a bear species licence to kill the bear, or get a permit to shoot the bear and have it disposed of. two officers are part of the zone office which has a total of four officers. —Costtews Photo The conservation office also gets complaints about deer, but no action is taken with these animals. The office will issue permits to shoot to scare the deer, but doesn’t issue permits to kill them. Other complaints are about small animals like skunks and racoons. In most of these cases, the conservation office supplies live traps to catch the animals. The conservation’s main function is enforcement of the Ministry of Environment's regulations and acts, and enforcement of fishing and hunting regulations.
