Since the group's debut in Faro, Yukon in 1981, Katari Taiko has performed all over Canada and parts of the U.S. and has been praised for its original and stunning enter- tainment at three separate performances at Expo 86. Katari Taiko — made up of 11 performing members — was the first taiko drum group to form in Canada. Taiko, which means “big drum” in Japanese, origi- nated as a folk instrument in Japan before developing into a popular performing art and many similiar groups have formed across Canada. In addition to playing varying size drums, Katari Taiko, made up of both men and women, also incorporates a variety of other instru- ments including the Chinese gong, conches, cymbals and bells. The group has built up an extensive repertoire of both traditional and modern pieces, including a growing number of original composi tions. Katari Taiko is one of the elements in the revival and ongoing development of the Japanese-Canadian commun- ity and culture. LOVELY COUPLE...

Costtews Photo by Ron Normon Gov'ts disagree on sanctions OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government and the premier of British Columbia have agreed to disagree on sanctions against South Afri. ca. Premier Bill Vander Zalm maintains sanctions won't work and External Affairs Minister Joe Clark insists he won't abandon them. Vander Zalm, who earlier this month suggested he would lobby Ottawa to lift economic sanctions, backed off today when asked if he had tried to change Clark's mind in a meeting here. “They're entitled to their views and I hold my personal views,” Vander Zalm said of federal authorities. “They're in control as far as those matters are concerned OWNER-MANAGERS — Chuck and Kathy Pederson “Kir 4 this.” He told reporters he main tains his personal view that economic sanctions are not effective in pressing the white-led country to apart heid. “It's still a free country Don’t expect me to say that I am supportive of sanctions when all the time, deep down inside, I don’t believe in them.” Clark said the discussion was useful, but Vander Zalm did not press him to change federal policy and “I made no demands of him.” Clark repeated his belief that voluntary sanctions ap pear to be working, citing the recent decision by the Bata shoe company to pull out of South Africa He noted that “the govern ment of British Columbia, as other Canadians, have rights which they can exercise in areas where Canadian sanc tions do not apply. or do not yet apply.” Clark and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney have repeat edly warned that Ottawa will consider mandatory tions if the private sector does not abide by voluntary guides against new invest ment and new bank loans to South Africa, promoting tourism to the country and importing gold coins. sanc RESISTS DEMANDS So far, Clark has resisted demands from Liberal and New Democrat MPs that he move immediately to tougher sanctions in those areas. KATARI TAIKO IWA expected to reject report VICTORIA (CP) — Members of the International Woodworkers of America will reject the recommenda- tions of a commission established to resolve the four-month strike, union leader Jack Munro predicted Tuesday. Munro and a dozen of the union's executives met for more than three hours with Labor Minister Lyall Hanson to bluntly explain why the IWA leadership is recom- mending rejection of the report by the government- appointed industrial inquiry commission ‘The IWA leader called the report “a major disaster, an abortion.” He complained to Hanson that the union's position has been neglected in the 19-page report produced by the three-member commission headed by Stuart Hodgson, chairman of the B.C. Ferry Corp The report, released Monday, recommended a two-year agfeement with a 40-cents-an-hour increase in the second year, better pension benefits, freezing con- tracting out of work to present practices, more flexibility in scheduling and a $200 bonus to employees once an agreement is accepted. Aside from getting a better understanding of each other's positions, Munro and Hanson acknowledged their meeting achieved little in settling the strike which involves about two-thirds of the 30,000-member union. The union and the industry have agreed to the government's call to put the commission's report to a membership vote. The industry's negotiators are recommending acceptance of the report. Munro told reporters the union will probably start voting today or Thursday, and the process will take about a week. Asked if the union membership could vote in favor of the commission's recommendations, Munro replied: “They won't, no. Positive. “The report really puts us in a position where we'rea hell of a lot worse off then we were before the negotiations.” Munro also said the union is debating whether all its members should be allowed to vote, or just those on strike. “We're still talking about that,” he said. Hanson said if the report was rejected, cabinet would have to reassess how the strike should be handled. He played down the possibility of another mediation effort. “With the two sides so entrenched, it would be difficult to form another inquiry into those sorts of things because that has been attempted and has failed,” Hanson said. Former policeman charged in case VICTORIA (CP) — A former Vancouver policeman involved in the case of a stolen emerald ring has been charged, Attorney General Brian Smith said today Smith told a news con ference that Clark Winterton has been charged with theft, possession of stolen property and corruptly taking a re. ward for recovering goods. Winterton, who was a con stable at the time, was in volved in the investigation of a burglery at a Vancouver home last Aug. 22. The owners said an emer ald ring apparently over looked by the burglars later disappeared. It was recover ed after the owners paid $6,000. Crown counsel in Van couver decided not to pro ceed with charges against Winterton following a police investigation of the matter, but Smith said that upon review of the evidence, it was decided that charges would be laid. LETTER TO EDITOR Caring owner This is a follow-up of my Nov. 23 letter to you re garding the merchants of Castlegar. When the owner of Taste of Art read our com plaint, he offered at “cost only” to make a frame for the photo which had been cut down and then not framed due to a merchant's pricing error Taste of Art was not the offender and therefore did out. But the owner cared enough to get involved. Some young merchants could learn a lot here. In the future, if ever we need a picture framed, we'll know to go to Taste of Art Our sincere thanks to a Castlegar merchant who really does care. It's nice to know you're out there. Computer age approaches local schools By CasNews Staff Outdated classroom design, is one of many concerns the Ministry of Education's Provincial Advisory Committee on Computers must address before computer technology can be adequately integrated into B.C. schools. “Schools were not built for the computer age,” Larry Kuehn of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation told a dis. appointingly small group of three listeners at the committee's public meeting in Castlegar Tuesday evening. “A 30-year-old school is built with ohe plug in each classroom for the custodian's vacuum cleaner. “They were not built for overheads and projectors and certainly not built for 10 computers,” Kuehn said. “People are making due with makeshift situations.” Kuehn pointed out that often 30 students will be in one “hot, stuffy, oppressive” room, “yet they are going to work there.” Kuehn and his counterpart Robin Syme, the Ministry of Education’s assistant director of curriculum develop ment, said Castlegar is the third school district they've visited. Kuehn and Syme make up one of five teams travelling to B.C. school districts to meet with teachers and the public to hear concerns and questions regarding computer technology in the school system. “We're in information gathering mode,” said Syme But most of the public meetings the two have held so far have been poorly attended. “People as a whole agree that technology is important,” said Kuehn. “But people who don't have computers and are afraid of computers want to leave it to the experts. “They are merely addressed.” Kuehn also pointed out that the type of teacher they generally find at meetings with school staffs is an individual with previous experience with computers “It's something I call the Third World literacy program,” Kuehn said, comparing the method of computer instruction in the classroom to the method in which Third World countries often send out anyone who can read to teach others reading skills. “It's simply not necessary for individuals to under. stand computers,” said Kuehn. “Rather, they shouff understand the importance of their usage socially.” Syme added that generally computer enthusiasts tend to discuss only their personal preferences regarding computer use. “There are discrepancies between their personal interest and what goes on in the classroom,” said Syme “Seventy per cent of the teachers are not represented in these meetings. “There's a whole side we're not seeing,” she said But Kuehn said the committee still benefits by hearing from enthusiasts since it helps those teachers not working with computers to know the issues. “Almost everyone working with computers today was in that same position a few years ago,” said Kuehn Kuehn pointed out that the benefits of computer knowledge to some students is immense. He cited one case in which he and Syme visited a Grade 6 classroom where a handicapped student demon strated his finesse with the computer “This child had a physical disability with writing,” said Kuehn. “But just the sheer quantity of what he was able to write with word processing compared to the two or three sentences he might have written physically was impressive.” Kuehn also mentioned the “electronic pen pal,” in which students from across Canada and around the world communicate with one another in relation to the curriculum. “It's not just a dry topic out of a textbook,” he said “It's one 14-year-old talking to another 14-year-old “Also, there is research on a whole range of topics that cannot be found in a library,” Kuehn added suggesting that the problem of outdated textbooks can be eliminated. “You can have access to just that kind of data base. “We are just beginning to scratch the surface,” he said From Castlegar, Kuehn and Syme head to Nakusp, Nelson, Fernie and Cranbrook to meet with school staff and public in those districts. satisfied that it is being TURNER OR CHRETIEN?

The results, reported by the television station Tues- day, indicate that if Chretien led the Liberals, support for the Conservatives would drop three percentage points to 26 per cent and for the NDP seven points to 19 per cent. Fifty-nine per cent op- posed a leadership conven. tion and 18 per cent had no opinion The poll puts current Lib eral support at 44 per cent of decided voters, with the Conservatives at 29 per cent and the NDPat 26 per cent. The remaining decided voters would choose other parties. Over all, 17 per cent of those surveyed were uncer. tain which party they would vote for. Liberal support was in creasing with the advent of the party's meeting this weekend in Ottawa, where delegates will vote on holding a leadership review. The Environics survey, compared with one the comp- any conducted in October for the Toronto Globe and Mail, shows the Liberals’ popu larity has risen seven points the last four to six weeks, with the Conserva tives down four points and the New Democrats down three The call for a leadership convention is as strong among Liberals as among other voters, with 62 per cent favoring it, the poll suggests. But Liberals are more di vided on who should lead their party, with 35 per cent behind Turner and 24 per cent for Chretien. Six per cent want former prime minister Pierre Trudeau back as leader. The remaining 34 per cent want someone else they don't know who — to lead the party The Liberals have the support of 47 per cent of decided voters in Atlantic Canada, over MINOR SPORTS Sure re interested!
