Break-in at office was third one in less than a week Cashews Photo by Ron Norman Chamber posts reward By CasNews Staff The Castlegar Chamber of Commerce has posted a reward following the third break-in at its office in less than a week. Chamber president Mike O'Connor said the reward is for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the break-ins. The amount of the reward’was not made public. O'Connor said the chamber office — located near the_ Community Complex in a temporary ‘trailer was” broken into three times between Nov. 4 and 11 He said the first time those responsible entered by breaking the window at the rear. “Nothing was really harmed” in that incident, O'Connor said, though the vandals spray painted profani ties on the outside of the office. The next night the front window was broken and the office entered, though again not much was disturbed, according to O'Connor. The latest incident occurred late Saturday night or early Sunday morning when vandals smashed the rear window, demolished the inside, cut the telephone wires, and attempted to set fire to the office. “It appears they tried to set fire to the corner of the trailer,” said O'Connor. He said the vandals didn't take any money because “there's no money kept in the chamber office.” “For the life of me I can't figure out why they keep breaking into the chamber office.” O'Connor said the chamber is considering installing an alarm system or putting a dog inside the office overnight. “If we have to we'll find a big, mean junkyard dog.” Patty defence critiéPauline Jewett tabled a third each of the signatures in a symbolie gesture, was quick to underline the Conservative government backs the process but not the substance of the Clark told reporters outside the Commons there were elements of the petition the government “doesn't accept or agree with.” Last month, after a meeting with organizers of the “peace petition caravan” that gathered the signatures, Prime Minister Mulroney said his government will continue to abide by a Canada-U.8. agreement that allows the missile If you’ve got bright idea, there’s still time to make it happen.

But Clark, explaining why he took part in the presentation Tuesday, said the government still wants to encourage discussion on peace and disarmament issues. Meanwhile, Public Works Minister Roch LaSalle reiterated he's in no hurry to force a small group of peace campers off Parliament Hill. LaSalle told Conservative back-bencher Don Blenkarn, MP for Mississauga South, he hopes the winter cold will oust the campers. Gov't warns parents of toy OTTAWA (CP) — A new sponge toy that bursts out of a tiny gelatin capsule when placed in water should be kept out of reach of small children, the product safety branch of Consumer and Corporate Affairs warns. Spokesman Cathy McCly- mont said Tuesday the de- partment is studying the smal] novelty toys made by a Kentucky company, Instant Products Inc., because it is concerned they could be dan- gerous if swallowed. The sponge toys inside the gelatin shell grow to about five centimetres once the capsule bursts. Three varieties of the toy, Instant Zoo, Instant Sea Life and Instant Critters, have been sold in some Ottawa toy stores and bathroom shops for about four months. A fourth variety, Instant Christmas, was recently added to store shelves as an inexpensive stocking stuffer. The packages state the product is for a child over age five and also warn the con sumer the capsules “are not to be taken internally.” McClymont said the prod uets are not breaching any government regulations. But the department is cautioning parents not to give the cap- sules to children under age three and to be present when any child is given the capsule. Ottawa child specialist Dr. William James said he's fairly certain stomach acids would disintegrate a sponge toy if a child swallowed the capsule. But he said no one knows what would happen if the capsule got stuck in a ehild’s bronchial tubes, throat or lungs. It would probably have to be removed surgically and could even cut off a child's breathing, he said The manufacturer of the toys could not be reached for comment.

It’s actually three-for-three, if you count a wayward wrench that astronaut Dale Gardner had to chase down after it floated away and headed for outer space. The double satellite rescue completed one of the most ambitious and important operations in the shuttle’s brief histery, vividly demonstrating the versatility of the reuseable space plane. Westar 6 was latched in the day three hours after Gardner cast free of Discovery to float across a 10-metre chasm and spear Westar with a lance-like docking pole. “I got it,” he exclaimed. “It’s perfect . beautiful.” “You do good work,” commented Allen, who had captured Palapa on Monday. A magnificent TV picture from the spaceship showed Gardner slowly approaching and then snaring the slowly spinning target against a backdrop of a cloud-mottled blue Earth and its horizon. GREAT PICTURE Th televised show from space was almost non-stop, etching a picture of the outstanding work being done by the astronauts. ~ A memorable shot showed Allen, mounted in a “cherry picker” work station on the end of the shuttle’s Canadian. designed 15-metre robot arm, holding onto the top of Westar, while Gardner attached a berthing collar to the bottom — a pose they held for more than an hour. Inside the ship, astronaut Anna Fisher moved the Canadarm by remote control. As Gardner worked, Allen tipped or rolled Westar according to his companion's bidding and Fisher raised or lowered the satellite on his instructions. Allen’s mount was a change worked out to make it “a heck of a lot easier” to secure the satellite than the unplanned muscle job they were forced to use in placing Palapa in the bay. still had to Westar through some manoeuvres, but with Allen rooted on the work station they said the task was much easier. In contrast to Monday's work, Gardner was able to attach the collar while above the cargo bay instead of inside it. Once Gardner left the cargo bay in pursuit of Westar, he needed only seven minutes to catch the target as he propelled himself with bursts of nitrogen from his rocket backpack. After stabilizing the target, he manoeuvred the 6.6- by two-metre package over to the shuttle so Allen could grasp an antenna on top of the satellite to hold it steady. FASTENS CRAFT Once the collar was mounted, Fisher, with Allen still gripping the satellite, lowered it onto the pallet, and Gardner fastened it down. Manoeuvring the 544-kilogram payload was no problem in the weightlessness of space, even though man and machine were racing around the planet at 28,000 kilometres an hour, 360 kilometres up. Commander Hauck and pilot David Walker steered Discovery to within some 10 metres of the target just minutes before the spacewalkers left the cabin. Hauck and Walker adjusted their speed so both crafts were flying in formation Theatres pull Santa movie MILWAUKEE (AP) Si “I think it's wonderful,” lent Night, Deadly Night, the she said. “I just grinned from movie about an axe-wielding ear to ear when | heard it.” murderer who dresses like Eberhardt, whose children Santa Claus, is being pulled are.two and five years old, from three theatres after initiated the protest after parents protested that even seeing a television commer the film's advertisements cial for the movie.
