CASTLEGAR NEWS 197 Columbia, 365-7266 Westcoast Seafoods located at Castlegar Mohawk FRIDAY, MARCH 29 10 0.m. 107 p.m Moore assesses budget municipal partnership agree ments are an “olive-branch™ extended by Victoria to city governments, says Castlegar Mayor Audrey Moore. “I viewed the whole thing as an olive branch.” said Moore at Tuesday's city council meeting. “I think to receive an olive branch — even though you have to look for the olives — is better than a kick in the shins.” Moore made the remarks in reference to a letter re- ceived by council from the Union of British Columbia Municipalities outlining high lights of the budget and the provincial/municipal partner ship agreements, announced Mareh 14 and 15. While council merely re ceived the letter “for infor. mation and study” and didn't discuss the contents in detail, at least one alderman dis agreed with Moore's assess- ment Ald. Len Embree deemed the budget and proposed agreements “a pig in a poke,” pointing out that they tend to shift the burden of taxes viding three months notice when they use a boenced re from industry to The budget removes indus trial taxes om machinery and equipment. and phases out school tax rates on machin- ery and equipment by one- third this year, and two thirds in 1956. The ratio of commercial and industria! tax rates on property to residential rates will be reduced from three to to one by 1987, and new industry will get a 50 per cent reduction on schoo! taxes until 1990. Muni. cipalities can also give new industry a tax break of 50 per cent or more to new industry or industria! expansions until 1990 until a provincial/muni- cipal partnership agreement.

John Kovalick con. firmed Tuesday The plan went awry after RCMP at Vancouver Inter national Airport detained one man and discovered parts of an Israeli-made Uzi automa tie weapon in his luggage. A Vancouver newspaper said Scotland Yard was tip ped off by RCMP that a second man would be arriv. ing at Heathrow Airport in London that evening with A second man was de tained in London and ques tioned for two days by Scot land Yard anti-terrorist squad officers, then refused entry and sent back to Van couver. Five pieces of the same automatic weapon were found in his luggage, the newspaper quotes sources as saying. Neither man was charged with any crime. Kovalick said police were advised by Crown counsel that it was not illegal ‘to carry pieces of weapons inside luggage. Marian Irving, a spokes- man for Scotland Yard, con firmed that “a Sikh man was detained on a flight from Vancouver by the anti-ter. rorist branch,” and that “he had in his possession five parts of a submachinegun.” She said Scotland Yard policy was not to name in. dividuals not charged with a crime. The incident occurred March 11. The man arrested in |ondon, who was travel. ling on an Indian passport, was sent back to Vancouver March 13. The Indian press charac terized the incident as “a Sikh extremist plot,” but official Indian response to the incident has been low-key. altor as a — grants to match up to a overiding the $1,000 maximum of costs; © economic promotions — grants of up to $5,000 to cover 50 per cent of approved promotional expenses: market research — up to $5,000 to cover the cost of identifying industries that may be interested in invest ing in B.C.; (the provincial want clients for our indus trial park.” Moore provincial/municipa! partner aime agent Municipal municipal partnership agree- ment) is a program we should look at very seriously if we commented Other highlights of the agreements are elec parc discounts for industry, and revenue sharing for mu nicipalities.

Purchasing power used as election prelude? By PAUL LOONG VICTORIA (CP) — The Social Credit government is again using its $2 billion purchasing power to entice B.C. businesses as a prelude to the next election, the New Democratic Party said Tues. day. Dave Stupich, the NDP’s finance spokesman, said in the legislature that Premier Bill Bennett's proclamation Monday in Nanaimo of “new government purchasing pol iey” — billed as giving in creased opportunities for business — is a re-announce- ment of old policy. Bennett said Monday that the provincial government buys $500 million worth of supplies and services an. nually, and the public sector as a whole purchases about $2 billion. Despite the announce- ments of giving priority to buying supplies within the province, the government has shown itself willing to buy the cheapest goods avail able regardless of their ori. gins, Stupich said. Stupich produced past gov ernment documents showing similar plans were announced im 1977 and 1982. “Purchasing policy appears to be something the Socreds trot out at least once be. tween elections to give false hope to B.C. suppliers,” he said in an accompanying statement. The province went to the polls in 1979 and 1983. SUBSTANTIAL EXPANSION Bennett said during ques. tion period that Stupich was “incorrect in saying the gov ernment does not follow its own purchasing policy.” “The new purchasing pol. icy is a substantial expansion DISMISS CHARGES ‘and a change of direction in order to encourage new manufacturing within the province, assisting local peo- ple to understand what sort of supplies the government requires, how they can get established in trying to con- tract for those supplies and services,” the premier said. Stupich asked why Alberta and U.S.-produced reinforced steel for concrete is used on the light rapid transit system being built on the Lower Mainland, and transformers produced in Eastern Canada are used by B.C. Hydro, even though B.C. suppliers exist. Bennett did not give an immediate reply to those questions, but said Stupich was wrong in suggesting previous purchasing policies “did not bear fruit. They did, obviously. But obviously there's always improvement that can be made.” Judge considers motion CRANBROOK (CP) — A country court judge has been asked by defence lawyers to dismiss charges against three people accused in the death of a 13-month-old girl. Linda Bohnenkamp, 20, and her husband, Cory, 20, are charged with manslaugh. ter and criminal negligence causing the death of their daughter, Deidre Windsong Bohnenkamp. The baby was pronounced dead at Cran brook hospital Jan. 19, 984. Corey Grant Soper, 22, also is charged with man slaughter and criminal neg- ligence causing death. In addition, he faces nine counts of assault on the baby dating back to August 1983. County court Judge Michaelangelo Provenzano is considering a defence motion to dismiss the charges against the three defendants on the basis they aren't specific enough Derek Lister, defence law yer for Soper, said the Crown delayed giving particulars on the assault charges until it was too late for him to pre pare a detailed defence.

The judge was to hear final arguments on the motion today On Tuesday, he dismissed an earlier motion by Lister to have Soper's assault charges stayed. Lister had argued that the charges, in which Soper is alleged to have spanked Deidre, given her beer, and blown marijuana smoke in her face, “were an abuse of process” by the Crown. The charges had originally been stayed Nov. 21, 1983. Restraints ‘shredding’ education VANCOUVER (CP) — The Social Credit government's restraint policies are “shred ding” the quality of education at Capilano College, a faculty spokesman said Tuesday Ed Lavelle, Capilano Col. lege Faculty Association president, said at a news conference that in 1985-86 the college will likely have to drop 300 courses and lay off 37 faculty. ss News )TREET TALK By CasNews Staff JOHN RUSSELL of Russell Auction Service in Thrums was one of six directors recently elected to the Auctioneers Association of British Columbia.

By The Canadian Press A lovestruck Saskatche- wan farmer, who has been ordered to stay away from singer Anne Murray and her family, has been charged once again with violating a probation order. Robert Charles Keiling, 48, was denied bail and re manded in custody after policy said he was spotted near the Springhill, N.S., home of Marion Murray, Anne's mother. His next court appearance is sched uled for April 23 in Spring. hill. The Blumenhof, Sask., wheat farmer believes Mur. ray is in love with him. He's been charged at least eight times since 1980 with violat ing probation orders that he not see or correspond in any way with Murray or her fam. ily. Artist Heinz Gaugal says he hasn't got a style. But he does it big. Gaugal, 57, plans to build a huge mural, five metres high by 22 metres long, for the side of the Seaway Mall in Welland, Ont. The $25,000 mural was commissioned by the owners of the mall to help Welland citizens forget their troubled recent past, which includes the conviction of a former mayor for stealing from charity bingos and multiple arrests of local men for illicit sex acts in mall washrooms. “It was time to do some thing beautiful for the town,” said the German-born Gau gal., “The (Welland) canal, and the history of the canal, is a natural.” A color sketch of the mural depicts Indians in mid-por tage, settlers building homes, laborers building the canal and women planting roses the symbol of the “Rose City.” Stevie Wonder is no longer on the hit parade at the South African Broadcasting Corp.

One-legged Fonyo gets enthusiastic reception PRINCE ALBERT, SASK. (CP) — Steve Fonyo has seen a lot of crowds since be- ginning his Journey for Lives last spring, but even he was overwhelmed by the enthu siasm showed by 4,300 school students Tuesday. While the students in the arena chanted and sang, a scoreboard flashed 32, the number of kilometres Fonyo tries to run each day on his cross-Canada trek to raise money for cancer research. “The last time I saw a crowd like that was when I went to see a Bryan Adams concert in Winnipeg. It's just fantastic,” said the Vernon resident who lost a leg to cancer. The crowd's emotion is something to think about during those long, lonely hours on the road, Fonyo said. “I just think back to places like that and away I go. It really is fantastic and it helps me an awful lot.” Residents of Prince Albert and area, 140 kilometres north of Saskatoon, contri. buted $100,487.75 to Fonyo’s cause during his one-day visit to the northern Saskatche- wan city, Jim Scarrow, a spokesman for the local unit of the Can adian Cancer Society, said students from the Montreal Lake Indian reserve raised $13,200. Prince Albert stu dents donated another $13,000. Fonyo has raised $538,540 while running in Saskatche wan, bringing his overall total to $1,523,453. Besides money, Fonyo re. ceived the dubious honor of being made an honorary con viet at the maximum-security Saskatchewan penitentiary Tuesday. Warden Jim O'Sullivan presented Fonyo with a plaque, which he waved over his head as 200 prisoners applauded, cheered and whis. tled at honorary convict No. 22. A spokesman for the in mates’ committee said at least 95 per cent of the jail's 400 prisoners contributed $1,608 toward the Fonyo fund. “I'm happy to be here,” he told the prisoners. “Thanks for helping me out.” Fonyo said he hopes to be home by the end of May. He'll probably take a vacation then begin looking for a job. “I feel great,” he said. “My health is fine. I try to set a goal for each day.” Jetliner hijacked over Greece ISTANBUL (REUTER) A Lufthansa jetliner was hi. jacked over Greece today and forced to land in Istanbul, where all 142 passengers and five of the crew were re. leased, Turkish state radio said.
