ornaments.

She came up with the idea of
having trees in different themes, for
example oriental, country or
deco, always using materi:
at hand and seeing possibi
discards from wallpaper and depart
ment stores. Everyone then followed
her demonstration on how to fold
Swedish paper stars with varying
degrees of success. Sandra is willing
to give another short demonstration
to anyone who wants to try again.

Cakes and other goodies - were
provided by the library staff to say a
persona! thank you to the volunteers
who faithfully serve the library all
year.

Bell was speaking to members of
Kootenay Region Minister of State
Howard Dirks’ task forces on parks,
recreation and tourism utilities and
air access.

He said Hydro's decision to set
up the new committee, and to
provide staff support, was in step
with regionalization initiatives being
taken by the provincial government.
A Peace River Advisory Committee,
chaired by Hydro board member Pat
Walsh, also has been formed.

Bell added that Hydro would .be

dents with an opportunity to discuss
the operation of the Columbia River
generation projects. The first meet-
ing will be on Jan. 21 at the Fireside
Inn, Castlegar.

“The treaty and its many implic.
ations are very complex and we
expect these seminars will open the
way toa better understanding of how
Hydro manages its generating plants
and reservoirs on the Columbia,” Bell
said.

Stressing the treaty was for a
period of 60 years, Bell added: “The

Cominco moves

pipelines for

Trail approach

The West Trail Approach Project
is continuing with the beginning
work to relocate process pipelines by
Cominco crews. Cominco began pre-
paring the $1.6-million project after
receiving notification from the prov-
ince on Nov. 23 that the company
would be reimbursed for all funds
spent.

Crews are now completing the site
preparation stage of the project,
which involves bringing in truckloads
of fill to level the land surrounding
the site, said Don Nutini, services
project superintendent.

Relocation of the pipelines will
begin once surveying is completed
and concrete pipe supports and
structural steel have been erected,

Nominations
still open

British Columbians have until Dec.
31 to submit nominees for the 1988
minister's Environmental Awards.

‘These awards focus public recog.

n and generate support. for in
dividuals, businesses and organiza-
tions that show leadership in im
proving environmental quality — and
anyone in B.C. can nominate their
choice of candidate,” Environment
Minister Bruce Strachan said.

The awards are given in six cate-
gories: individual citizen, youth or
school group, citizens’ group, busi-
ness/industrial, government agency
and environmental education.

Nominations may be submitted
through any office of the Ministry of
Environment before Dec. 31, 1988,
and the winners will be announced
before March 31, 1989.

Nutini said. This will begin immedi-
ately.

The nine process pipelines that
now run along the ground, adjacent
to Bingay Road, will pass over High-
way 22 when the approach is com-
plete, Nutini said. The pipes, which
carry such materials as steam and
gas between the Trail-and Warfield
operations, will be housed in a
3.6-metre (11 foot) diameter, 45-
metre (148 foot) long tube.

Cominco is responsible for the de-
sign, purchase of materials and in-
stallation of the lines.

The relocation phase will be com-
pleted in early 1989.

Free-trade favors media

KITCHENER, ONT. (CP) — Jour.
nalists may not have to be ineluded in
the free-trade agreement with the
United States, Trade Minister John
Crosbie says.

“If it is the desire of journalists and
their associations that they do not
wish to benefit from the simplified
and enhanced temporary provisions
of the FTA, then the goverhment of
€anada and the government of the
United States can act to delete
journalists from the list,” Crosbie
said in a letter to the Canadian Daily
Newspaper Publishers Association.

Under the agreement, members of

the media will qualify for relaxed
immigration laws if they hold a
bachelor’s degree and have three
years experience. The group has
protested the provision, saying it
smacks of state licensing.

The association has also argued, as
a matter of principle, that journalists
should not be getting any special
privileges above and beyond those
accorded any other class of workers.

Crosbie has said the trade agree
ment has no effect on the current
system of allowing temporary entry
to accredited journalists who are as
signed by their news agencies.

In his Nov. 10 reply to association
chairman K.A. Baird, publisher of
the Kitchener-Waterloo Record,
Crosbie seemed to be baffled as to
why journalists would want to give
up something that is to their
advantage.

Crosbie said the trade agreement
will “enhance the movement of jour.
nalists-and actually improve their
temporary employment opportuni
ties.”

Baird said as a result of Crosbie's
letter, the association will probably
make a submission arguing for the

exclusion of journalists.

murder of her baby daughter, who
was killed by a dingo wild dog eight
years ago.

In September three Northern Ter.
ritory Supreme Court judges quash
ed Chamberlain's conviction for the
murder of her daughter Azaria and
the conviction of her husband Mich
ael for being an accessory after the
fact.

Azaria disappeared from a camp
site near Ayers Rock in central
Australia in August 1980 and her
body was never found

The case sparked the most cele-
brated murder. inquiry in recent
Australian history and it is the
subject of a film, A Cry in the Dark,
starring U.S. actress Meryl Streep as
Chamberlain.

Chamberlain was sentenced to life
imprisonment by a Northern Ter.
ritory jury in 9182 but released after
serving three years. Her husband
was given a suspended sentence.

A spokesman for Northern Ter.
ritory Attorney General Darryl
Manzie said late Tuesday that
Manzie received a letter last Friday
from both Chamberlains seeking
compensation.

“It is a decision (on compensation)
that Mr. Manzie will not be taking on
his own,” the spokesman said. “He
will talk to cabinet and there will be a
fair amount of research before any
decisions are taken.”
