AirBC has on file applica- tions to serve Kamloops, Penticton, Kelowna, Cran- brook, Castlegar, Smithers, Sandspit and Calgary. The company recently an- nounced that the start-up of service to Kamloops will begin Oct. 1.

There will be five flights every weekday at 6:20 a.m. ($29. one-way), 8:40 a.m. ($69), 3:05 p.m. ($59), 5:30 ($59) and 9:30. p.m. ($59).

A September drought could damage or even wipe out a Kokanee run for that year,” D'Arcy said.

(CP) — The manslaughter con- viction of a mother in the death of her daughter should be a warning to parents who know their children are being abused, but do nothing, says a Crown prosecutor. “If parents know the child is being abused by a third party or another parent they now have a reason to deal with that issue,” Mike Petrie said after county court Judge “Michaelangelo Provenzano ‘found Linda Bohnenkamp, 22, and Corey Grant Soper, 22, guilty of manslaughter in the death of the 13-month-old Diedre Bohnenkamp. The baby died in hospital Jan. 19, 1984, after collapsing in the two-bedroom apart- ment shared with her mot- her, her father Cory Bohnen- kamp, and Soper, her mot- her's boyfriend at the time. Evidence showed Soper shook the child so violently that brain damage occurred, causing Diedre to choke to death on her own voimt. Soper began assualting Diedre six months before her death by spanking her sev- erely and shaking her. “I don’t know of any other case that has been decided along these lines — where a parent has been convicted when the parent wasn't the main actor,” Petrie said. Soper and Bohnenkamp were found not guilty of criminal neglicence causing death. Cory Bohnenkamp, 24, was found not guilty of man- slaughter and criminal neg- ligence causing death. Pro- venzano said Bohnenkamp may not have known his daughter was being abused and therefore could not fore- see her death. Soper and Bohenenkamp will be sentenced Oct. 21. They began to weep while the verdicts were read and sat in the prisoner's box locked in a tearful embrace for several minutes after court was adjourned. Diedre was taken from the Bohnenkamp home in August 1983, after the Human Re- sources Ministry received complaints that Soper was assaulting the eight-month- old baby, feeding her beer and blowing marijuana smoke in her face. But the child was returned to her parents by family court on'the condition Soper be banned from contact with the family. “In addition, if riverbanks need to be fenced off, these fences should be built and maintained as part of the fishway project, including compensation for landowners who are denied use of grazing land near the river,” D'Arcy said, adding that this was one of the concerns expressed by. farmers. A draft proposal of the options available around the fishway will be released later this fall.- ‘The study “being prepared jointly by the B.C. En- vironment and agricultural tninistries.

The board suspended French and Russian second language programs for the two grades this year. “There's no legislation in the School Act that says we have to provide French despite the fact that we live in a bilingual country.” Johnson said. “I think the School Act should reflect that,” she said, and proposed a motion to recommend to Minister of ‘0 California's business community and got some encourage- Education Jack Heinrich that “French language instruction be mandated in B.C. schools.” Heinrich and his ministry will be reviewing the School Act this year.
