(AP) — Roy Orbison, the Grammy winner whose singing style on songs like Pretty Wontan pioneered early rock ‘n' roll and made him a legend with ballads about lost love, has died of a heart attack at age 52. (The singer-songwriter, known for his black d and dark he was taken by ambulance to Hendersonville hospital late Tuesday but couldn't be revived, said Melanie Lamb, a hospital spokesman. He died just before midnight, she said. Orbison, who played guitar, gave a concert Sunday in Akron, Ohio, before 2,000 people. On Tuesday, Orbison was at the Nashville-area home of country singer Jean Shepard, who said he had been with her husband, “having a great time.” Orbison achieved fame more than two decades ago with Only the Lonely, his first million-seller, Blue Angel and I'm Hurtin. Oh, Pretty Woman, in 1964, sold more than seven million copies. Orbison recently collaborated with Bob Dylan, George Harrison and Tom Petty on an album recorded under the name the Traveling Wilburys. ORBISON TOURS During the early 1960s, Orbison had 27 straight records on the charts. In May 1963, he toured Britain with the Beatles, then a smash in England but still virtually unknown in the United States. In 1977, Elvis Presley introduced him as “the greatest singer in the world.” Bruce Springsteen saluted him in his song Thunder Road. Orbison once estimated he had sold 30 million records, but added, “I don’t normally keep tabs.” Other hits include Crying, It's Over, and Blue Bayou. Last year, he re-recorded his 1963 hit In Dreams after the song was revived in the film Blue Velvet. In a 1986 Associated Press interview, Orbison said the biggest thrill in his career was “just being in the business itself.” On being called a legend, he said: “I did say facetiously once that being a legend meant being old. Rock 'n' roll legend Roy Orbison dies But someone pointed out that not all old people are legends. Anyway, it’s nice to have had longevity and to have influenced a few people for the good.” On Sept. 30, 1987, Orbison gave a concert at Los Angeles’ Coconut Grove nightclub, called Roy Orbison and Friends: A Black-and-White Night, The friends included Springsteen, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, Tom Waits and Canadian singer K.D. Lang. Orbison and Lang also recorded Crying as part of the soundtrack for the 1987 movie Hiding Out. In 1980, Orbison teamed with Emmylou Harris on the duet, That Loving You Feeling Again, and - earned a Grammy award. He was also inducted into the Rock 'n’ Roll Hall of Fame and the Hall of Fame of the Nashville Songwriters Association. CAREER BEGINS Orbison grew up in Wink, Tex., and was taught to play guitar at age six by his father, an oil field worker. He played guitar on a radio station at age eight and was in a country music band at 14. He recorded in the 1950s with Sun Records of the company that launched the careers of Presley, Johnny Cash and Jerry Lee Lewis. He was one of the first “rockabilly” singers — fusing-rock 'n’ roll with hillbilly, or country, music. Orbison began wearing sunglasses regularly in 1963 after he forgot his regular glasses at home and had to wear shades while in London. His appearance was well-received and he began a tradition. His career plummeted in the late 1960s in the aftermath of two personal tragedies. His wife died in a motorcycle accident in 1966. Two of his three sons, ages 10 and six, died in a fire that destroyed his lakeside home in 1968. His third son is now in his 20s. His most successful songs focused on broken romances and his Too Soon to Know was written after the death of his wife. Asked..in -1986 how he would like to be remembered, he replied. “One day when they are mentioning people who had an impact, if they just mention me among the rest of the guys and gals, it would be great.” RIGHTS DECLARATION Castlegar to observe The 40th anniversary of the adop- oeing treated by their governments, livelihood in circumstances beyond WKP defends turbine OLIVER (CP) — People would notice traffic noise on Highway 97 more than the sound produced by a proposed $32-million natural gas-oil turbine generator, a B.C. Utilities Commission was told Tuesday About 120 metres away from the proposed plant, the noise from the turbine would bg about 60 decibels — equivalent to a “normal relaxed conversation,” said Doug Whicker, a representative of a Vancouver ac coustics consulting company. The commission is hearing an ap- plication by West Kootenay Power and Light to build the turbine plant in the Oliver industrial park. Whicker said noise from most light industry ranges from 65 to 70 decibels, while a heavy truck or busy city street produces about 90 dec ibels. “I firmly believe that more people would be affected by traffic noise on Highway 97 than would be affected by this plant,” he said. Whicker agreed that overcast or inversion conditions would increase noise levels, “but it woulid have a similar effect for all other noises too.” Sound-level tests were not done at South Okanagan General Hospital, south of the proposed turbine site, Whicker said. But he said he doubted whether anyone inside the hospital would be able to hear the plant, even with a window open. In memory West Kootenay says it wants to build the 140-megawatt facility to reduce its need to buy more expen sive power from B.C. Hydro during the peak winter-months, and to provide a back-up to firm power from Cominco Ltd. Ministers argue MONTREAL (CP) — Trade min- isters resumed talking about the farm trade war today but showed no sign of solving the dispute between the European Community United States on the criti of phasing out farm subsid “We'll see if any progress can be made during the day,” said David Woods, spokesman for the 96-coun- try General Agreement on Tariffs tion of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights will be observed Dec. 10 at a noon-hour open air event in downtown Castlegar. An ad hoc committee of repre. sentatives of various local human rights and church groups, including the newly formed United Nations Association, have organized the ob- servance. Lach Farrell will help participants reflect on the United Nations declaration. As well, on Dec. 11, an ecumenical prayer service at St. Francis Roman Catholic Church in Trail will provide another opportunity to celebrate this special occasion. Marion Bergevin, former CUSO cooperant in Tanzania, will speak about South Africa and human rights. Although the declaration has been signed by most of the nations of the world, it has never been fully im plemented in any country,” says Ann Godderis of the Human Rights Day Committee. “In all too many parts of the world, even the articles dealing with such fundamental issues as torture or arbitrary arrest are ig nored.” The document has, however, be- come a very important source of in spiration for groups all over the world who are concerned about the way they and their fellow citizens are Godderis says. The declaration makes it possible for these groups to refer situations to an international body, the United Nations Human Rights Commission, and, although this body has no enforcement power, international pressure can sometimes have an ef- fect in ending or moderating abuses, she says. “What is perhaps even more im- portant is that for the first time in world history, human rights and fun- damental freedoms are held to be available to all and this has given a tremendously strong impetus to people everywhere to struggle for independence from oppression,” Godderis says. The Human Rights Charter not only deals with freedoms and rights under the law, but also has some very remarkable things to say about education, employment, cultural life and social security, Godderis says. For example, Article 25 states: “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of him/herself and his/her family including food, clothing, housing, medical care and necessary social services and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of his/her control.” In Canada, the federal Department of the Secretary of State has en- couraged groups across the country to organize local celebrations of this anniversary saying, “It’s a time to reflect on progress we've made since 1948. It is also an opportunity to renew our commitment to the prin. ciples of equality and freedom for all, and to build a world where human rights and fundamental freedoms can be fully realized.” Godderis says the planning com- mittee hopes that residents of this region will take advantage of their freedom of “peaceful assembly” and will gather together on Dec. 10 “to honor the dreams and ideals which the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has inspired so many brave and caring people in this world of ours.” For the record The Jack Cheveldave mentioned 4p Court News in the Dec. 4 issue of the Castlegar News is not the Jack Cheveldave who lives on Columbia Avenue in Castlegar.

An item in a recent edition of the Arrow Lakes News notes another breakdown of the Arrow Park Ferry and goes on to say the following: “If the government is determined to cancel the ferry crossing at Robson, they should simply move the Castlegar-Robson ferry upstream to Arrow Park until such time as we can get a proper bridge in place.” IS SOMEBODY trying to tell us something? The weather, which can be fickle at the best of times, hung around for days being rather bland — nothing but overcast skies and fairly mild temperatures. But try to bring the premier and three Cabinet ministers into town and what happens? A snowstorm which keeps all planes from landing at Castlegar airport the morning the four are due to arrive. At least the good news of the $700,000-GO BC grant for the aquatic centre weathered the storm. Turkey Giveaway! ONE APPROXIMATE GRADE A FROZEN 5-7 Kg.

On Tuesday, a frustrated Ricardo Zerbino, Uruguay's finance minister and chairman of the farm committee, suspended negotiations on agricul ture after being unable to get either side to compromise. Informal discussions continued overnight and the committee re- sumed work early today on an issue that’s critical to Canadian farmers whose prices are falling over the trade dispute. “A lot of work, a lot of talk, not much progress on agriculture,” was how Bryan Michael Cassidy, a British member of the European Parliament, summarized the situation.

U.S. keeps tariff VANCOUVER (CP) — The cedar shake and shingle industry in British Columbia has reacted bitterly after learning President Ronald Reagan decided td retain, but scale down, a punitive U.S. tariff on imports from Canada. “To say we are disappointed is a complete ”" said Gordon » president of the Fraser Valley Independent Shake and Shingle Producers Association. “Obviously, President Reagan's decision has not been made on the facts of the case.” The office of U.S. Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter announced Reagan will keep the five-year tariff, imposed on the British Columbia wood exports in 1986, but at a lower level until it expires in mid-1991. Starting today, the tariff will be pegged at 20 per cent for the next year, fall to 10 per cent for the following year and five per cent for the final six months. The original tariff on shakes and shingles — used for roofing and siding in houses — was set at 35 per cent for the first 30 months. It had been scheduled to drop to 20 per cent today for the next two years and to eight per cent for the final six months. SOUGHT REMOVAL Scott Clarke, a manufacturer who runs Scott Cedar Products in Mission, said he is “very, very disappointed. It (the tariff) should have been removed.” Clarke said the industry has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to persuade the U.S. government that the tariff — instituted to prop up the flagging shake and shingle industry in the Pacific Northwest — should be abandoned. “We just can’t understand it... the only thing I ean think of is that he (Reagan) must have some cousins in the shakes business in the U.S.” Since mid-1986, several shake and shingle mills — mainly in the Fraser Valley east of Vancouver — have shut down completely or cut down on their production levels. The industry estimates 1,900 jobs have been lost. Industry officials in the U.S. say domestic produc- tion is up 40 per cent since the tariff was imposed and it has given the industry breathing room to modernize and develop new sources of wood. But the tariff has also driven up prices for both the Canadian and American product and opened up a growing market for roofing and siding substitutes such as asphalt and tile. That’s a prospect that worries Ward Creasey, a 27-year-old foreman at one of Clarke's mills in the Fraser Valley. “We've got pretty strong management and we'll probably make it through (the next two years),” he said. “But for every month it lasts, it gives the people designing houses in Texas and California a chance to consider other products. It's going to make it a lot tougher.” The original U.S. duty provoked a bitter trade war between the two countries when it was slapped on in 1986, leading to retaliatory Canadian:\tariffs on U.S. computer parts, Christmas trees, books, teabags and oatmeal. Premier Bill Vander Zalm said in Kimberley, he was disappointed Reagan decided not to drop the tariff. He said cabinet will discuss the action today and will have a further response. John Crosbie, Canada’s minister for international trade, said in Montreal that Ottawa pressed hard to have the tariff terminated. Alfred and Pauline, Definitely not In a single generation Rogers Foods of Armstrong has turned its local flour and cereal mill into a $13 million business with sales as far afield as Africa, South America and China. In fact, Rogers accounts for 55 per cent of Canada’s flour sales to Hong Kong. For Alfred and Pauline Rogers who started the business in the 1950s, it’s still very much a family affair with son Stan developing a new line of diversified food products. Together with more than 400 other B.C. food manufacturers, Rogers is part of the “Great Taste of B.C.”, an industry with more than $3.3 billion in sales at home and abroad. Mixing home grown goodness with international sales, it’s British Columbia's recipe for success.
