Smoke ban
irks ferry
users

SEATTLE (AP) — A ban on
smoking anywhere aboard the Wash-
ington state ferries which takes ef-
fect Jan. 1, has smokers fuming.

Petitions aimed at overturning the
ban are being circulated, with or-
ganizers saying they hope to send
50,000 signatures to Gov. Booth
Gardner. The petitions note that
smokers are voters.

The ban was drafted to comply
with Gardner's ban on smoking in
state buildings and land vehicles,
said Rick Daniels of the Transpor-
tation Department.

The proposal will be submitted
Dee. 14 to the state Transportation
Commission, said Harold Parker,
head of the ferry system.

Earlier this year, smoking areas on
the ferries were reduced to about 25
per cent of the passenger space from
50 per cent, including. the outside
decks, Parker said.

“It has worked pretty well,” he
said. “Of course, we caught it from
both sides.

“One passenger said people should
smoke only once — when they are
cremated.”

Rail station
well preserved

By JOHN CHARTERS

“You have a nice historical find
here, a valuable asset and I am
pleased that the Heritage Society
and the community has encouraged
the city to save this buildin

Last Saturday while making a
study of the Castlegar Rail Station,
Brian Nelson, B.Se., M.  Arch.,
MAIBC, MRAIC, restoration archi
tect, spoke to some of the directors of
the Castlegar Heritage Society. He
indicated that he was pleased with
what he found.

“Essentially,” he said, “everything
that was there is there. It is a good
example of a well preserved building
and an educational and tourism asset
to the town.”

A science and architectural grad.
uate from UBC and the university of
Oregon and with extensive training
and experience in heritage restora:
tion, Nelson lives in Kamloops but
practices extensively throughout the
province for the British Columbia
Heritage Trust. One of his more
recent commissions is the million
dollar Grand Forks courthouse res-
toration.

He sees the much smaller Castle
gar Rail Station project as being
much more labor intensive; that is
volunteer-oriented in contrast to the
highly contractual courthouse.

“There are some parts of the
building,” he said, “which are not
original. Therefore, research and
documentation will be needed for the
re-creation and the proper authenti-
cation of the structure. It should be
fun. Be astute, be careful, don't
interpret. If original drawings are
unavailable, re-create.”

Restoration projects, he indicated,

are relatively inexpensive and the
returns to the community, both
socially and for user groups, are of
great value.

He was a little less happy with the
heating system and the absence of
basement storage space but felt that
these could be regarded as tempor-
ary, pending a more expedient
solution.

Last year, the Society was given a
$40,000 restoration grant by the
British Columbia Heritage Trust,
matched by the city, for the removal
and relocation of the building. The
restoration sub-committee of the
Heritage Society is preparing to
make early use of some of that grant
for restoring the roof, installing in
sulation and providing access to the
building in preparation for Heritage
Week and Sunfest celebrations,

In the meantime, the ~Selkirk
Weavers and Spinners Guild and the
Castlegar Arts Council have -made
representation to the committee with
a view to making some of the second
storey rooms available for use.

During the course of his inspec.
tion, Nelson was accompanied by
Station Restoration sub-committee
directors Byng Giraud and Dick
McLeod, as well as directors Sherrel
Koreen and Bunny Charters, vol
unteer craftsman Carl Koreen and
President John Charters.

Later at a meeting at the Charters’
home, the group was joined by
director Alex Lutz who brought
some essential documents for the
discussion which followed. Nelson
will prepare an official report and
recommendations for the guidance of
the Society.

Quebec MP pleads guilty

HULL, QUE. (CP) — Former Con.
servative MP Michel Gravel pleaded
guilty today to charges that he cor-
ruptly sought or agreed to accept
more than $97,500 from individuals
and contractors doing business with
the federal government.

Gravel, who had tried repeatedly
to have the charges quashed and had
said through his lawyer that he
would plead not guilty, announced
the reversal in a statement from
lawyer Daniel Rock before Quebec
Court Judge Edgar Allard.

He pleaded guilty to nine counts of
bribery and six counts of influence
peddling.

The decision ends a legal battle
which dragged the case out more
than two years and past last month's
federal election, which the former
east-end Montreal MP did not
contest.

The silver-haired Gravel refused
all comment later, striding from the
courtroom with Rock at his side. He
is to reappear Feb. 6 for arguments
on sentencing.

The maximum sentence for bri-
bery is 14 years. The maximum for
influence peddling is five years.

DROPS COUNTS

Gravel originally faced a total of 50
counts but Crown prosecutor Val.
mont Beaulieu told the court he had
no evidence for three counts that
related to monthly payments of
$2,000 alleged to have been sought or
accepted from one individual or
company. He withdrew other counts,
saying they related to the same of.
fences to which Gravel had pleaded

guilty.

There was no indication from the
charges as to what the payments
related to. But the RCMP had pre-
viously confirmed Gravel was under
investigation in connection with the
construction of the new national
Museum of Civilization in Hull,
across the Ottawa River from Par.
liament Hill.

The exact amount involved was
unclear. The 15 counts to which
Gravel pleaded guilty itemize pay

ments of at least $97,500. But three
counts involved monthly payments of
$2,000 each from three individuals or
companies. There was no indication
how many payments were made.

The largest payments cited —
$45,000 — came from a Franco Trinci
seeking Gravel's influence on behalf
of two Hull companies, CapForm Inc.
and Brikon Masonry Ine., which be-
tween them had contracts worth
more than $8 million at the museum.

Other benefits Gravel sought or
agreed to accept included the in
stallation of a new bathroom in his
home, a washer and dryer and a
$1,500 Florida vacation.

At least two former cabinet
ministers — Roch LaSalle and
Suzanne Blais-Grenier — were on the
Crown's list of witnesses in the affair,
which began May 15, 1986, when
charges were laid.
