Michael Geraghty, head of the Tacti¢al Narcotics Team in southeast “Most of the time the cards say what they are selling and where and when it can be bought. Some of the cards have telephone numbers Police Commissioner Benjamin Ward, at a luncheon interview at the New York Post, also displayed a flier that exhorts ‘‘kids’’ to “earn big bucks'' by becoming ‘‘Crack-er Jack Salesman.’ He noted, however, that the flier might be bogus.

The mill remained shut down today as the dispute continued. Pulp mill shut down By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer The Celgar pulp mill is completely shut down following a labor dispute Tuesday in which members of the PPWC Local 1 walked off the job. “It's so silly that it makes you wonder,” Celgar Pulp Co. mill manager Wilf Sweeney said today. Sweeney said a dispute stemming from a “misunderstanding” over who would drive a safety valve to Calgary resulted in work stoppage yesterday. INSIDE Turner fund revealed page A2 Members of a yard crew “sat down” because the senior driver wouldn't be transporting the valye, he explained. Sweeney said a senior driver opted out of the preventative maintenance trip because of a back problem and the crew's foreman happened to be out of the mill at the time. That issue was resolved according to Sweeney, but the union wants the reprimand issued for the incident removed, “We told them they would get a warning. They said unless you remove the warning we won't work.” The vice-president of PPWC local 1 which represents 280 workers at Celgar felt he shouldn't discuss details of the walkout at this time. “We have our lawyers working on it,” said Mike Espenhain. “We were going to have a general membership meeting today to discuss things,” he said. Sweeney said the union has broken its contract and the company is making an application to the indus. trial relations council. “We do have a bonified contract. One of the clauses in that contract says there will be no work stop pages,” he said. Both sides indicated they hopeful work will resume soon. There are also about 100 contrac. tors doing maintenance at the mill who are affected by the walkout and Sweeney said the shutdown is costing Celgar Pulp Co. “thousands of dollars.” B.C. pulp and paper workers recently avoided a strike, accepting a three-year contract, after its contract expired June 30. are Cosmonauts return MOSCOW (AP) — Two cosmo nauts landed on Earth after guidance system malfunctions twice forced them to abort their descent, trapping them in orbit as food and oxygen supplies dwindled, the official Soviet news agency Tass said.

In a tape from mission control near Moscow, Soviet television showed a red star flashing on a map where it said the Soyuz TM-5 capsule landed by parachute at 4:50 a.m. Moscow time (8:50 p.m. EDT Tuesday), 160 kilometres southeast of the town of Dzhezkazgan in the republic of Kaz. akhstan. About 50 minutes before landing, the guidance system's computer automatically started an engine that braked the capsule, pulling it out of orbit and bringing it safely through Selkirk enrolm By CasNews Staff There is still space for students at Selkirk College but the seats are filling quickly, says a college spokes man Joe Lintz told the Castlegar News enrolment figures for university transfer and business administration courses have increased about 10 per cent over last year's figures but couldn't provide the number of stu dents enrolled already this year “We'll have a better idea of figures by the 15th of the month,” he said. Lintz said the college has expand the atmosphere, Tass said. Soviet news reports said earlier that neither Mohmand, a 29-year-old Afghan air force pilot, nor Lyakhov, a 47-year-old Soviet air force pilot, was in immediate danger but the situation could have become critical. TWO-DAY SUPPLY Reports said life support systems aboard the capsule would last two days, which would have put the cos. monauts in danger Thursday mor- ning: NASA officials said they had of. fered to help but the Soviets de- clined, saying no assistance was needed. The Soyuz capsule is designed for transporting cosmonauts to and from space, and carries few supplies. A Soviet space official said the cosmo- nauts could have stretched supplies of oxygen, water and food for up to a week, after which the Soyuz capsule would have become like “a lone boat in the ocean.” The capsule’s problems began after it undocked from the Soviet orbiting space station Mir, where College ents up ed its hours of operation to accom. modate an expected increase in en. rolments this year. The Castlegar campus is now open from 8 a.m. until 6 p.m. Last year the campus hours were from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. “Career technical courses are fully subscribed,” he said. “But there still are a few seats available. We're not turning people away.” Electronic and computer mation systems courses are “below their quotas” said Lintz but he added more students are expected. Classes begin today infor. Lyakhov and Mohmand had spent six days with three other cosmonauts. The capsule’'s guidance system malfunctioned several times during re-entry attempts, in one case putting the spacemen on a trajectory toward China. Mission control ordered landing attempts put off until today so scientists could reprogram on-board computers to put the capsule on the correct trajectory Aboard Mir,| three other cosmo. nauts were reported continuing re. search as secheduled. Soviet doctor Valery Polyakov, who had blasted off with Mohmand and Lyakhov, was monitoring the health of cosmonauts Vladimir Titov and Musa Manarov, who plan to break a 326-day space endurance record set by Yuri Rom anenko.

Association for Private Care have settled contract negotiations which broke off late in May Five nurses at Raspberry Lodge were certified in January 1987 with the union which represents 200 nurses in the province's 15 private long-term care facilities. Nurses voted 88 per cent in favor of a strike in April, but have remained on the job “We do have a settlement but, we're not releasing any details until it's been ratified,” Pat Van Horne, a union spokesman in Van couver told the Castlegar News Van Horn said she expects to know the ratification results this week. now, vote B.C. Hydro profits in Ist quarter By CasNews Staff and News Services British Columbia Hydro enjoyed a profitable first quarter this year for the first time since 1982 Hydro had net earnings of $8 million for the three months ended June 30, the company sai dram atic turnaround from the $21 million net loss during the corresponding period last year. Continuing high demand for elec tricity by all sectors and a substantial reduction in Hydro's finance charges were responsible for the improve ment, company chairman Larry Bell said in a news release. The financial statement follows on the heels of an announcement that says Hydro is investigating the-po- tential of additional hydroelectric generation in the Kootenays. The Crown corporation is looking for possible’ additional generation from the existing Brilliant and Waneta dams owned by Cominco Ltd., and Hydro's Duncan dams! As well, it is planning new generating projects on the Elk River and on the Barnes Creek diversion in the Whatshan powerhouse. At present, the Brilliant devel opment on the Kootenay River and Waneta on the Pend O'reille do not make full use of available water flows. The release says that divert ing surplus water around the exist ing dams to new powerhouses could harness water not utilized by Com. inco’s generating facilities. As much as 1,100 gigawatt hours a year (GW-h) — or 15 per cent of the firm generation ai Revelstoke — could be produced by developing these areas. On the Elk River, Hydro may generate 300 GW.h a year ‘after further studies and the Barnes Creek diversion could produce 47 GW.h a year but the diversion is only in the preliminary stage, the release says Hydro has applied to the provincial Comptroller of Water Rights for a licence to protect the option on Barnes Creek while studies continue As well, a study of a proposal to construct a powerhouse at the exist ing Duncan Dam has that project producing 105 GW.h a year Hydro's electricity sales totalled $402 million this year, compared with $399 million last year. Residential electricity sales ac. counted for $128 million, compared with $122 million last year and export sales were reduced to $25 million from $44 million. Hydro said export sales were reduced to pre. serve reservoir levels. Finance charges declined $20 million, the company said, reflecting both a $528-million decrease in Hydro's outstanding debt during the past year and a stronger Canadian dollar against the U.S. dollar. Hydro’s debt was reduced $167 million to $7.4 billion during the first quarter this year, the company said. In July, Hydro sold its Mainland natural gas division to Inland Natural Gas Co. Ltd. for $741 million, its rail division to Itel Rail Corp. for $32 million and some track operating rights to CP Rail for $6 million. The company said part of the money raised from the sales will be used to reduce the long-term debt ower ARROW LAKE From the Vancouver Sun Eleven-year-old Waylon Poll. ard headed to school today anxious to tell his friends about his weekend helicopter ride but unaware it was part of a foiled plot to abduct him Florence Pollard, the Proctor boy's grandmother, said today that the youngster was playing Sunday on the beach near his home on the west arm of Koot enay Lake when a helicopter be- gan circling the area.
