Among the highlights of library member Sally Williams’ presentation to Chamber members were the reasons for a new library: e The present library sys- tem is inadequate. It offers no room for books, no study area, no children’s area, no quiet corner, no room for displays and little staff work space. e There is no long-term lease for the Kinnaird branch bulding. The library can be evicted on a month's notice and the rent is high for a public facility. e Areas I and J have no library service at all. The Selkirk College library is not “reasonable” because it is not academically organized. Per- sons under 16 years old cannot sign out materials and children are not taxpayer will pay slightly less than double the price they now pay for operating the old library. T! ICBC has extended payment VANCOUVER (CP) — The Insurance Corp. of B.C. has extended the deadline for will pay an additional $10.64 a year, Williams said she sympa- thized with businessmen who will have to pay “double” taxes — on the bi pay: ments to Dec. 29, spokesman Bob Egby said. Egby said the decision to extend the deadline was made Wednesday because of they own and their homes. Williams explained about the recreation facilities fund grant the library board ex- pects to receive. She said the board must wait until the referendum passes before it can apply for the grant, which will make up one-third of the cost of the library. Chamber member Albert Calderbank asked Williams what would happen if the board did not get the grant. Williams said the proposal would have to be scaled down somewhat. Richie Geronazzo's concern was how long the proposed library would last. She said unless there is a to go there. School libraries are out of the ion Wil- major the present system will: be for a liams said, because they are closed holidays, weekends and evenings. “The solution,” she said, “is to buld a new library of about 10,000 square feet.” Williams said the new library will be open from about 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., six , » days a week. Father Mark officiated with burial at the Evergreen Cemetery in Grand Forks. TWADDLE — Florence Ann Twad- dle, 81, of Warlleld died suddenly Dec. 2'in Rossland. Service was conducted Di Hillson officiating. Burial wos in Mountain View Cemetery. MAZZOCCHI — Gruna Mazzocchi, f Trail died ed ccidentty Dec. 4 at G ervice was fold Bee, 10 andimass en Dec 11, both from Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church. Father Charles Mulvihill officiated with burial at the Mountain View Cemetery. The new library will also provide more space for books, study and research, and its central location (be- side the old arena) will elim- inate transferring books from branch to branch. Williams also gave a break- down of how much each sector of the city will pay for the new structure. Industrial — 61 per cent; residential — 21.3 per cent; commercial — 9.7 per cent; remainder — 7.5 per cent. She said the individual number of years. Williams also noted that there is room for expansion on the site if needed. Gordon Brady of CKQR Radio, said he thought users should contribute more to- wards the library. “Somewhere it's got to bea situation where users pay,” he said. Brian Pritchard, also of CKQR, agreed, using the arena complex as an exam- ple. “When you go to the complex you pay to skate or play hockey,” he said. Murray Young, another li- brary board member, asked Brady if he was interested in or rais- some tech and because of the extra mail moving through the system at this time of year. However, Egby warned that those who don't pay up by the new deadline will be charged the 1.5-per-cent monthly penalty, retroactive to Sept. 1. Last week, ICBC said a monthly surcharge would be deadline. added to the premiums for motorists who financed their insurance if they were not - paid within 10 days. The corporation wants to collect payments that were not made during a five-month strike by ICBC office work- ers. Egby said the corporation & advertised widely during the strike, telling people it wasn't able to cash their preauthorized cheques and asking them to mail in their payments. About 110,000 people com- plied. Those that didn't — about 90,000 — received letters informing them of.the interest penalty. PC leadership is stable for a year OTTAWA (CP) — Joe Clark's leadership of the federal Progressive Conser- vatives won't be tested for more than a year. The party’s executive com- mittee killed the chance of an earlier challenge by deciding Special children’s program A program, “Catechism Cc Ch Friday that the Tories’ next general meeting — which will include a vote on whether to hold a leadership convention — will include a vote on whether to hold a leadership convention — will be held in Winnipeg Jan. 25-29, 1983. The decision, in line with the committee's earlier com- mitment to hold the general meeting sometime during the first four months of 1988, is a victory for Clark and a defeat for those pressing for an earlier review.

Change overwhelming WINNIPEG (CP) — Globe- trotting ph cent visit to the Arctic was and last writer Richard Harrington says he has seen a striking transformation in Canada’s Arctic since his first visit in 1947. “Life has changed so much there, it’s overwhelming. The Inuit have gone from a totally independent people to prac- tically a welfare state,” said Harrington, co-author with his wife of more than 20 books. “From a natural diet of food from the land and sea, they've been drawn into our habits of buying junk food and meat such as pork chops.” ‘Harrington, a Toronto- based freelancer who has trotted the globe for almost 40 -years, said the original culture of the Inuit has been lost. “Young Inuits don’t know how to build igloos,” said Harrington, whose most ‘re- “Their houses, prefabri- cated wooden ones, are built for them by the government . . » you cannot have an Eskimo living in an igloo anymore. He likes to be warm like you and me.” Harrington said he was impressed by how the Inuit managed to cope with the severe extremes of environ- ment they experienced in the 1940s and 1950s. HAD STOIC ATTITUDE “If they didn’t find food, or the caribou trail wandered away from them, the old people would starve and freeze to death,” he said. “But they were resigned and stoic. They accepted death.” But Harrington said the white man has transformed the Inuit art of soapstone carving into a major industry on which the northern people now depend. “The Inuit carved small miniatures three inches high out of soapstone,” he said. “When the white man came along, he asked them to carve them larger. And that’s how the industry began.” Harrington, whose collec- tion of Eskimo and Arctic photos, The Inuit; Life as It Was, has just been published by Hurtig Publishers, said he was enchanted by the quality of light in the Arctic. “It lights up shadows and gives wonderful outlines to faces,” said Harrington, who has also travelled extensively in Asia and Africa. Harrington had to keep his career under his clothing so it would not freeze up while taking thousands of Arctic photos between 1947 and 1958, from which a selection was made for his latest book. “My fingertips froze, my eyelashes froze to the metal, the camera's diaphragm wouldn't operate, the shutter speed slowed down.

EDMONTON (CP) — Pat Lenzen has been par- alysed from the waist down since birth, but that hasn't stopped her from driving a car, being a sub- stitute high school teacher and learning to ski. The 82-year-old woman from Morinville, Alta., is the oldest known survivor in Canada of spina bifida, a birth defect marked by a malformation of the spine. Infants born with a sev- ere form of spina bifida died soon after birth — un- til a new surgical proce- dure was developed in 1957. Spina bifida is the sec- ond most common serious birth defect. It occurs once in 1,000 births. The mal- formation of the spine re- sults in a bulge or opening, usually in the lower back. ‘In the defect’s mildest form the victim may have little or no disability. In its most severe form the vic- tim is confined to a wheel- chair and may experience Ube bladder and kidney f ‘ Y Oldest known survivor problems, Lenzen suffers from the most severe form, called meningomyelocele, In her case, the protective cov- ering on the spine and the spinal -cord protrude through the vertebrae, im- pairing nerve function from the deformity down- ward, SHE DRIVES Lenzen had to have 29 experimental operations to reach the stage where she can be relatively inde- pendent: move around on crutches, propel herself along in a wheelchair and drive a car. She met her husband, Russ, at high school and was married 14 years ago. Lenzen said that with four adopted children — Christopher, 10, Nickole and Spencer, 8, and Maria, 6 — she doesn't have any. time “to sit still and brood ... life is pretty full for me.” She is a substitute tea- cher at several schools in the Morinville area and was recently elected presi- dent at the organizational meeting of the National Spina Bifida Association of Canada in Thunder Bay, Ont. She is involved in pistol shooting and wants to go skiing with her husband. So far, she said she has gone around the yard on skis “but that’s as far as he will let me go.” Lenzen is also adept with needle and thread and has made all of the fam- fur and fine embroidery. But, she said, “my mo- bility has been going down during the past 10 years. Ten years ago! didn't need a wheelchair, I was able to get around with crutches.” Lenzen's major goal now is to raise money for re- search on spina bifida. Little is known about the defect, she said. “Experts believe the cause is related to both genetic and en- SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst Shaw says she was involved in bombings and in a bank robbery that led to the death ofa that they had filled me with over the past month or so” after her kidnapping, she sald. “And they loved every word of it, The more blatant she was never charged with those crimes. ‘I want to join you,” she told i Lib and p my state- ments became, the more they’ believed them.” About nine weeks after the Army leaders, But she said she was driven into the ranks of her captors by fear and the need to survive. The robberies and the story of her capture are of a new book by Shaw, who took the name Tania during her exploits in the early 1970s, first as the captive and then a member of the ter- rorist SLA. Shaw is reported to have received a $600,000 advance which was released recently. It is published by Doubleday and Co. and sells for $17.95. Now married and a mother, the heir to the Hearst publishing fortune described how on Feb. 4, 1974, she was dragged from the for Every Secret Thing, , toting a gun, she entered a San Francisco branch of the Hibernia Bank with her SLA comrades and helped rob it of $10,690. Less than two years later, a jury part found her gulty of bank rob- bery, refusing to believe her testimony that she partici- pated out of fear. In the book, Shaw ad- mitted she drove the getu- way car from a Carmichael bank robbery in which a woman was killed. She also said she helped plan a second holdup and was involved in several bombings.

The house is now for sale, with or without the lot in the Vancouver suburb of Port Coquitlam where the exhi- bition originally planned to put it. The Brice? ¢ awe: 're open to union contractors was about $15,000 while the lone bid he could obtain from a unionized firm was $35,000, Wilson said, but the union contrac- tor’s bill actually came to $97,000. With most of the con- tractor’s bills running well in excess of what had been ex- pected, there was not enough money to pay all the con- tractors. Batex completed the house says aeakseuan Bill Joyner. Ray and Ruth Swift of North Vancouver won the home, but opted for the cash award of $250,000 instead of the house and lot. The PNE board of dir- ectors _ considered . keeping. shome for next_year’s,,. draw but decided that would be bad publicity, Joyner said in an interview. The problem began when the PNE accepted a bid from Batex Industries Ltd. to build the house, even though Batex had been active in British Columbia for only four months, and insisted that, it be built with union labor. PREPARED FOR LOSS Batex contracted to build the house for $97,500. Under Batex president Ted Wilson's original proposal, this would have covered all of the costs except for a small amount which Batex was prepared to take as a loss. But the company found that the cost of union labor was exorbitant, Wilson said. The highest estimate for framing the house from non- Waste - whole by the date but shortly before the prize was to be awarded, PNE direc- tors learned that a number of contractors had not been paid and had filed liens. The PNE paid the bills so the prize could be awarded, then withheld payments or _the $54,375 still owing Batex, '; That gave Batex problems. One of the unpaid contractors obtained a garnishee order against the company’s bank account, the bank revoked the company’s line of credit and seized the money in the company accounts. PNE HAS PROBLEM Now the PNE bas a house, a lot worth $100,000, a pile of assorted furnishings and some unpaid debts. Directors hope to recover the investment by selling the house, furnishings and lot, said accountant Herb Bryant, the exhibition's controller. “The grand figure, includ- ing the furniture, is just shy of $400,000,” Bryant said. “Our original budget for the package was $270,000. But Bryant said the PNE Environmental study Governments, it seems, never want for ways to waste taxpayers’ money. The municipal government in Danville Va, along with the U.S. Environmental Pro- tection Agency, found a new way to spend $10,000 — by conducting a study on the sex habits of loggerhead tur- tles. The study concluded that Virginia may be for lovers, but not if they're green and hard-shelled. Mayo? Charles Harris is among those who think it was a little bit silly for the tax- payers to study the private practices of marine creatures who don't even live in the re- ; ion. The whole thing began in 1979 when the agency found Danville guilty of polluting the air with its coal-fired electric power plant. The EPA suggested. that instead of paying a fine, the city should finance an environ- mental study of one kind or another. The city agreed, suggest-, ing studies of sludge disposal at its sewage ‘treatment plant, industrial sites or local highways. But the EPA liked log- gerhead turtles, so the study was done.

Batex, meanwhile, is left with no money and some debts of its own. Wilson said he originally intended to lose at least $25,000 on the project as a way of getting started in business in Vancouver, but Batex has lost about $200,000. The situation is embar- rassing, he said, an the bad Publicity was the exact op- ite of what Batex in- nded when it took on the project. » Cosmetics given boost in China PEKING (REUTER) — China plans to boost by 100 per cent over the next four years production of cosmet- She said she was carried away to an apartment in Daly City, south of San Francisco, dumped into a closet and humiliated until, convinced escape was impossible, she enlisted in the SLA as Tania, the revolutionary.

California's felony murder rule says accomplices in a murder case can be of murder. On Sept. 18, 1975, Shaw was arrested in San Fran- cisco and the Harrises were arrested the same day. She served less than two years in prison before her sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter. Shaw is married to Ber- nard Shaw, her former body- guard. They have a six- month old daughter, Gillian Catherine Hearst-Shaw. CASTLEGAR NEWS, December 13, 1981 ; U BS Castlegar Downtown Businessmen’s Assn. XMAS HOURS MON. Dec.7 Reg. Hours TUES. |.
