Mann CAIRO (AP) Iraq’s missile at- tack on Israel applied new stresses on Arab members of the U.S.-led anti Iraq coalition. But barring massive Israeli retaliation, it shouldn't achieve the Iraqi aim of splitting the coalition.

The United Nations authorized the use of force if Iraq did not get out of the emirate by Jan. 15. The first shots of the war came Thursday with an intensive U.S.- led air attack on Iraq and oc- cupied Kuwait. But as the air war over Iraq and Kuwait continued Friday, Israeli officials spoke of retaliation. that prospect im- mediately arose the question of what happens to the Arab par- tners who give political legitimacy to the 28-country anti-Iraq one Arab state — Iraq — could undermine the U.S.-dominated, anti-Iraq coalition.

If attacked, ‘1 think everybody has the right to do whatever they think is possible,”’ Hammoud al-Ragaba, Kuwait's energy and water minister, told reporters in Vienna. The other major Arab member of the coalition, Syria, with almost 20,000 troops, poses the largest question mark about the alliance. Syrian Foreign Minister Farouk al-Sharaa told reporters in Damascus last week that his government cannot accept Israeli involment against an Arab state. “We in Syria cannot accept Israeli intervention in this crisis,”’ Sharaa said. Mubarak’s Egypt would be sday with a missile attack against Israel. Israeli officials said 10 or more missiles were launched from Iraq and at least three, reportedly with conventional warheads, hit. The attack prompted Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to say Canada may widen its role in the conflict, which up to now has likely to react only if Israel’s retaliation to the Iraqi ‘missiles was deemed too severe for the relatively slight damage done in Tel Aviv and elsewhere. Israel is a sensitive subject for Egypt, the only Arab state linked to it by peace treaty. Despite the U.S.-brokered treaty with Israel, however, an inordinately heavy Israeli in- volvement in the gulf war could display strong sentiments among Egyptians of support for Iraq, af- ter all a sister Arab state. Many Egyptians hate Israel and the Israelis because of four bitter wars in the 30 years leading up to the 1979 treaty and the Jewish state’s treatment of Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza. Suspected the United States would be reluctant to leave Iraq’s fearsome arsenals intact even in the event of a voluntary with- drawal from Kuwait. But just 24 hours before the war began, Iraq rejected a UN offer that — in return for a with- drawal from Kuwait — would have no attack again- seen the country’s i of 1,850 soldiers in non-offensive roles or helping enforce a UN embargo against Iraq.

The votes Thursday night brought to six the number of associations that have rejected a review. Three others have voted in favor, but failed to achieve the 75-per- cent majority the party’s constitution requires to pass a special resolution. Socreds in the Cowichan-Ladysmith riding voted 78-63, or 55 per cent, against a review of Vander Zalm’s leadership. In the Fraser Valley riding of Mission-Kent, the 68 members who. went to the meeting Thursday night voted 71 per cent against a review, &@ spokesman said, declining to give the actual breakdown. Graham Bruce, who represents Cowhichan-Ladysmith but left the Socred caucus in 1988 in with Vander Zalm's leadership, refused to comment on the vote in his riding. He said only he was happy the membership had the debate. Act permits draft VANCOUVER — Even British Columbians too old to go to war can be drafted. B.C.’s Emergency Program Act — passed during the Diefenbaker €ra at the height of hysteria over the Cold War — gives the provincial government the power to conscript for civil defence work anybody aged between 18 and 60 except certain railway employees, doctors and those physically unfit. Pay is whatever the provincial cabinet thinks fit and refusal to go when called can mean fines of between $25 and $100. Geoff Amy, an emergency operations manager, said no declaration of emergency under the act has ever been proclaimed by the cabinet. Amy said there has been no special civil-defence planning in B.C. because of the Persian Gulf crisis. “War planning is a joint federal-provincial responsibility but we don’t feel there is any threat here,”’ he added. However, there are plans for natural disasters such as earthquakes, which are designed to handle similar problems, such as buildings coming down and roads blocked, he said. Canada's role ok VICTORIA — Both Premier Bill Vander Zalm and NDP Mike Harcourt said Wednesday that Canada should stick to its role as a Peacekeeper. Vander Zalm called the for the world. - “*It is certainly a great disappointment for all of us but Perhaps most especially for those most directly involved,” he said. “‘The soliders, their families — that’s where our sympathies need to be. Obviously, this is a time of great worry for them.” Harcourt said Wednesday's bombing was premature and said sanctions and diplomatic routes should have been given more time. However, Harcourt added “‘it’s difficult to negotiate with a bully like Hussein.” School needs money PRINCE GEORGE — The recently established University of Northern B.C. will soon seek donations from the Private sector to ensure the school’s success. The university, which has not yet opened, will launch the fund drive this spring aimed at corporations, industry, small businesses and Private citizens, said foundation chairman Roy Stewart. The academic stature of the new university is dependent on more than the quality of its programs and scholars, said Stewart. Its success also will depend on the amount of private sector money it can raise to support the programs, teaching staff and research. Most donations will be eligible for matching grants from the which has i @ grant program of $10 million to war a great di: over the next four years. Legal-aid toll free VANCOUVER — A toll-free telephone line to a legal aid lawyer has been established for people arrested or accused of a crime in British Columbia, the Legal Services Society and Attorney General's Ministry said. The ministry is providing annual funding of $250,000 for the service which began this week. “‘An accused person has the right to speak to a lawyer as soon as Possible,"’ Attorney General Russ Fraser said in a statement. “This telephone service will help the criminal justice system run more smoothly."” Jack Olsen, executive director of the legal services society, said in an interview the number is 631-0566 in the Vancouver area and 1-978- 0050 in the rest of the province. The service will be available from 5 p.m. uniil 9 a.m. on * weekdays and for 24 hours on weekends and holidays.

Turner pointed out that getting only provisional accreditation last spring did not reflect badly on the quality of education provided by the Cougar ) story gets told again By CasNews Staff Debbie Girard of Glade wants to set the record straight about an in- cident involving a cougar near her home last Tuesday. Girard said information provided to the Castlegar News by the Con- servation Officer Services was in- Correct on a couple of points. She said a neighbor's son, 10-year- old Aaron Retzlaff was walking home from school with his dog when he saw a cougar in his yard. The dog attacked the cougar, most likely in an effort to protect Aaron, she said. Aaron tried to beat the cougar off the dog by throwing snow balls and then a shovel at it. When this had no effect on the cougar, Aaron ran to Girard’s house for help, she said. Girard went outside and in an at- tempt to startle the cougar, banged a shovel on the porch. Finally she threw the shovel at it. The shovel did not hit either the cougar or the dog, but it was enough to break up the fight. “It startled it enough that it took off into the garage,” Girard said. Girard then phoned the RCMP-to Hu fh i g Turner. - «: status from the Ministry of Education, announced school, or on the school itself, intent of itiproving those despite i from \ some parents at that time.

Despite all.the hard work involved in achieving accreditation, Stanley Humphries still has much work ahead. Superintendent of schools Terry Wayling said implementing the growth plan, completing renovations Planned. for the school and getting the new Year 2000 initiatives in place are all major challenges yet to be faced. “*So, much work ahead," he said. “But you faced the accreditation challenge with professional decorum, dispatch, and I’m proud of you. Well done. The district is prepared to support this school to the limits of our resources, that’s with staff and money. “The students can be assured, as their parents can, that they are get- ting a quality education in this Women testifies against abusive polygamist CRESTON (CP) — A former member of an East Kootenay polygamous commune who first married when she was 15 testified that two of her three marriages were done in a bedroom. The woman’s third husband — who already had two wives when they married in 1982-—-is charged with sexually assaulting them, a son, @ stepson and a stepdaughter. Provincial court Judge Ron Fab- bro has banned publication of names to protect the victims. Two of the marriage ceremonies were similar to the Mormon church service, the 35-year-old woman told Fabbro. They were arranged by the com- mune leader and performed in ‘‘the bedroom of my father’s house,”’ she said. The woman, who has seven children fathered by three husbands, fled to Calgary in 1988. She said that when she married her first-husband, she was 15 and he was 57. He died, then she was married off to her second husband in 1974. She left him seven years later and was matched with a man whom she married in 1982. Fighting back tears, she said the accused was under a lot of stress with 20 children and three wives. “He started having nightmares, terrible nightmares, and complained about pain in his head.” She said her teenaged daughter was hysterical in 1986, fearing she would go to hell or have to marry the accused because he had washed her naked body. She said the accused generally spemt one night with each wife, sleeping with whichever one would sleep with him. On the night of Dec.-2, 1987, the accused’s 43rd birthday party, she said she heard one of the wives shrieking in a bedroom. “The next day she was hunched over and walked in pain,"’ she said.
