Gar- ton of New Zealand, were united in marriage on March 17, 1990, in Kelowna, B.C. Carol is the daughter of Peter and Margaret Obedkoff, of Castlegar, B.C. The candlelit cer- emony took place at the Benvoulin Heritage Church in Kelowna, fol- lowing a family time of prayers and blessings at the couple's home. A long time friend of the bride's, Rev. Dr. “Bob” McLaren, travelled from Victoria, B.C. to conduct the wedding cer- . emony, assisted by his son-in-law, Allan Richards, of Kelowna. The bride was attended by her sister, Vicki Obedkoff of Toronto and the groom's best man was Colin Heggie of Vancouver, B.C.

ENTERTAINMENT For the sake of art Murder, intrigue part of painting's past EDMONTON (CP) Intrigue, theft and murder are all part of the shadowy past of a painting locked in a police vault in Edmonton. The painting, titled Christ Child, Infant Baptist and Two Angels, was once thought to be a 17th century original by Flemish master Peter Paul Rubens worth up $80 million. Art experts have determined the painting is a forgery. Det. Bob Kirkhope became in- volved in the case of the fake Rubens last August when city policy heard word on the street an art object was being offered for sale for $20 million. Kirkhope and Cpl. Allen Thoen, an RCMP investigator, discovered a similar painting had been stolen from a bungalow in west-end Edmonton in 1981. As the police search dragged on, the sellers began dropping the price. “*The price was brought down to $2 million and then $250,000 or less,’’ Kirkhope said. ‘‘There was a lot.of Pressure and people were getting ner- vous.”’ In October, police got a court order to seize the picture. A few days later, two men were charged with possession of stolen property. At the time, Kirkhope was told by the Sotheby’s auction house in New York if the painting was a Rubens it could be worth up to $80 million. Kirkhope began to pick away at the mystery behind the painting. The search led to a modest bungalow once owned by Bianca Jeremic, a financial analyst with the federal Transport Department. Jeremic told police she wasn’t sure if the stolen painting was i for hundreds of years. Jeremic, who boasted of being a ; descendant of European royalty of her mother’s side of the family, died in July 1989. Two weeks later, anonymous owners put the word out they had a masterpiece to sell. It is unclear how Jeremic’s family obtained the painting. She inherited it after her father, Bozo Bulajic, was murdered in Edmonton in 1971. Bulajic, a doctor who became a resistance fighter in. Yugoslav: during the Second World War, came to Canada after the war. His daughter Bianca joined him in 1954. Bulajic was shot to death on Nov. 22, 1971. Six years later, Kristan Budic, a 37-year-old Yugoslav im- migrant, was i of first-deg but her father had told her it was an original and had been in the family murder and sentenced to 25 years without parole. Model family turned bad, Cowsills plan a comeback BOSTON (AP) — In the late 1960s, the Cowsills were the quintessential American family, a sweet, pop-rock group of five siblings and their mini- skirted motley who later became the model for TV ¢ Partridge Family. By 1971, they had virtually vanished, the victim of a fickle public and poor management. Their $30- million fortune disappeared in bad investments. The breakup was so acrimonious, many members of the family did not speak until their mother’s funeral in 1985. “It wasn’t just the end of a Gi) HEY, KIDS!

Several of the Cowsills spent the last two decades battling drugs, alcohol and severe depression. The family declared bankruptcy in 1977. Now they’re planning a comeback — both as a group and as a family. They reunited for the first time in 20 years in Boston in early July in a con- cert dedicated to their mother. In at- tendance at a packed club for the concert were singer Paula Abdul and two of the Beach Boys. At their concert, the Cowsills sang the old hits as well as new material, in a surprisingly smooth, polished set reminiscent of such groups as Fleet- wood Mac.

They starred in their own NBC-TV special, headlined in Las Vegas, did milk commercials and were plastered on the covers of teen magazines. “We were the first family of rock ’ roll,”’ said Susan Cowsill, 30, who joined the group when she was seven, later sang backup for other artists and now collaborates with former Bangles member Vicki Peterson. But the Cowsill brothers, who wan- ted to do serious music in the tradition of the Beatles, Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones, resented the bubble-gum image foisted on them by record companies. -CBS; The Final Emmy awards nominees announced BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.

The survey, conducted in July, in- dicates more manufacturers expected production to drop, that they were receiving fewer orders and that they had too much inventory on hand. The economy has been treading an increasingly thin line for several mon- ths between no growth and an outright recession — when the economy shrinks for two quarters ina row. It now appears certain that high in- Stelco surviving for now TORONTO (CP) — Canada’s second-largest steelmaker, Stelco Inc., says it has enough stockpiled Steel to supply customers for the first three months of a strike by 10,000 steelworkers. But a $100-million improvement to a blast furnace at the company’s Hilton Works in Hamilton will have to be delayed until the strike is over, said Bob Milbourne, Stelco Steel’s important terest rates are driving the country in- toa _recession=in-the wake of two economic reports this week, analysts said. ‘A lot of things seem to be coming together now . . . which would permit recession,’’ said Ted Carmichael senior economist at Burns Fry. Statistics Canada reported Tuesday that the economy contracted in May and April — the first back to back monthly declines since the last recession. And Wednesday's report that iM. increasing number of companies believe things will get worse suggests the declines will deepen. At the same time the Burns Fry business conditions index, which is based on the Statistics Canada survey for July, fell to 35.5 per cent from 38.8 per cent last quarter. That's the third quarter in a row the index has slumped below 40 per cent, pointing toward a recession, Car- michael said. How quickly the economy emerges from a recession depends on how fast Bank of Canada Governor John Crow lowers interest rates, the economists said. Elsewhere in business this week: — The Soviet Union and China appear likely to top the list of customers for Canadian grain and oilseeds in the just-completed crop year. With figures for July — the final month of the 1989-90 crop year — still to be calculated, statistics released by the Canadian Grain Commission showed the Soviets have already pur- chased 4.4 million tonnes of grain. — A group of business executives have formed Alliance for a Drug-Free Canada, a program designed to help companies deal with the use of such drugs as marijuana and Cocaine in the workplace. The alliance told a Toronto news conference that there are about 10 million workers in Canada and one person in 10 in the country uses drugs. — The goods and services tax will fuel inflation and push up interest rates, keeping the value of the Canadian dollar high and causing problems for British Columbi forest industry, a Senate hearing was told. B.C. Finance Minister Mel Couvelier scolded the federal gover- nment for bringing in the tax — which officially begins Jan. 1. Gas price unaffected despite Arab conflict By The Canadian Press Crude-oil prices surged following Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, but Canadian oil companies said the price consumers pay for gasoline will be unaffected — at least in the short term. There was an instant war dividend for oil companies as their stock prices soared on the Toronto Stock E. Gold shares also rose as in- of ing. Unionized construction workers have said they will not cross picket lines to work on the improvement, said Leo Gerard, Ontario director of the United Steelworkers of America. Milbourne said the delay drastically compromises Stelco’s competitive position and ‘“‘the likelihood .that people will be recalled to work’’ at Hilton Works when the strike ends. Steel customers have been hedge- buying, that is, placing advance or- ders to protect against a strike. And Stelco boosted inventories by $300 million in anticipation of a walkout, Milbourne said. , More than 15,500 steelworkers walked off the job Wednesday after contracts expired at nine Stelco locals and five Algoma Steel Corp. Ltd. locals at Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. A Stelco plant in Edmonton remained open because Alberta labor laws prevent workers from striking legally until Aug. 5. Stelco and Algoma account for about 46 per cent of Canada’s stee' production. Money is a key issue in the Stelco talks, while job security dominates negotiations at Algoma. The United Steelworkers estimate a strike at both companies will cost the union $1 million a week. Neither Algoma nor Stelco. would estimate how much they expect to lose from the strike, although some analysts have said a short-term strike may ac- tually help money-losing Algoma. Stelco Steel president Fred Telmer said a strike in 1981, which lasted for 125 days, cost the company $200 million. But the company has been through a massive restructuring since 1981 and its unionized workforce has fallen to about 10,000 from about 26,000. Stelco and Algoma still face payroll costs for non-union workers during what some analysts say could be a long strike. Most of Stelco’s 4,000 salaried workers and Algoma’s 1,500 non-union staff began taking vacations Wednesday. Algoma spokesman Paul Finley refused to say whether non-union workers at his company face layoffs if vacation time is used up and the strike drags on. Stelco kept salaried employees at work during the 1981 strike but the company has a different strategy this time.

Overall stock-market -speculation that higher oil prices could fuel in- flation made for a down day featuring unusually busy trading Thursday. Iraq and Kuwait are two of the world’s largest oil producers — Record harvest expected MOSCOW (Reuter) — The Soviet Union’s grain harvest this year could reach a record 260 million tonnes, a senior agriculture official said. “There are 300 million tonnes ripening in the fields,’ Vladlen Nikitin said in a speech broadcast on Soviet television. “Our losses . . . are normally 30-40 million tonnes, therefore we have a real possibility of achieving a harvest of 260 million tonnes,’’ he said. The previous record Soviet harvest was 237 million tonnes in 1978. Last year’s output was 211 million tonnes and the country had to use scarce foreign-currency reserves to import 38 million tonnes of cerals and soybeans. Nikitin, head of the State Com- mission on Food and Procurement — effectively the Agriculture Ministry — reported on the harvest to the gover- nment Thursday. .The Soviet news agency Tass said the report noted this year’s bumper harvest had the same problems of transport and storage shortages as in the past. together accounting for more than 20 per cent of production by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries. Fear that the invasion of Kuwait would disrupt oil supplies drove the spot price of North Sea Brent Blend, the most widely traded international crude oil, to $23.62 US a barrel from Wednesday’s close of $20.40. But oil company spokesmen said they generally have a 90-day supply of crude on hand, meaning it would take that long for crude-oil price changes to affect retail prices. Crude prices would have to remain at higher levels for several months before hitting Canadian consumers, said Petro-Canada spokesman Bill Simpkins. “With a continual increase in the cost of crude, the retail price would follow, but not in lockstep,’’ Sim- pkins said. The price of crude oil represents just 25 per cent of the retail cost of gasoline, said Imperial Oil spokesman Dennis Baxter. Federal and provincial taxes, refining costs and profits’ ac- count for the rest. Simpkins and Baxter stressed that the intensity of local price com- petition is far more important than the cost of crude oil in determining gas prices. On the Toronto Stock Exchange, the gold, oil and gas and pipeline sec- tors were the only stock groupings not to lose value Thursday.
