Sheraton-Spokane Hotel N. 322 Spokane Falls Court, Spokane, WA 99201 Pulp talks to resume Monday VANCOUVER (CP) — Negotiators for British Columbia pulp and paper workers and their employers will meet Monday, a company spokesman said. The announcement came a week afterthe two pulp unions said talks had broken down and they were conducting a strike vote. “We've been in touch today,” said Eric Mitterndorfer, president of the Pulp and Paper Industrial Relations Bureau. “An exact time and place hasn't been worked out yet.” The two-year contract for the 13,000 members of the Canadian Paperworkers Union and the Pulp, Paper and Woodworkers of Canada working at 21 mills expired at mid- night Thursdya night last week. The two sides had been negotia- ting under a news blackout since April 18. The unions had said results of the vote — which wasn't being super- vised by the Industrial Relations Council as required by law — would be announced this Friday. If workers voted for a strike, spokesmen said, 72-hour notice would be served and the unions could go on strike as early as July 15. “They (the companies) can go to the IRC,” said Stan Shewaga, pres- ident of the pulp and paperworkers union. “But the bottom line is their mills will be shut down.” When negotiations broke off, the union was seeking an increase of $1.05 an hour in the first year of a three-year contract, 61 per cent in the second and six per cent in the third. The companies had offered 70 cents in the first year, 4'/2 per cent in the second and five per cent in the third. Base rate is $14.48 an hour. Shewaga said the current average rate is $17.17 an hour. The union's proposal would bring the average to $20.56 an hour, a 19.74-per-cent increase, while the company’s offer would raise the J average 14.15 per cent to $19.60.

Why not call us today at 426-7241 to TORONTO (CP) — Bell Canada is “manipulating” the media and trying to paint its striking workers as “a bunch of crazy, illegl vandals,” a spokesman for the strikers’ union said Tuesday. “We aren't going to sit on our hands and have Bell Canada saying our members are cutting cables,” said Richard Long, Ontario vice- president of the Communications and Electrical Workers of Canada. Long said the communications the Bank will be in 1988 to discuss your giant hasn't publicly accused the union of being behind cable slashings that left nearly 15,000 Ontario and Quebec homes without phone service over the weekend. But he said it has been hinting at it. “We're tired of that and we're going to stop it.” He denied reports, however, that the union is considering suing Bell over its “suggestions” some strikers are vandals. “We'd have to be an awful crazy union to be telling members to go out and cut cables,” he added. About 19,500 Bell Canada opera- tors, installers and repair workers in , Ontario, Quebec and the Northwest Territories officially walked off the job June 27 to back up demands for higher wages, better pensions and increased job security. Some top-rated operators earn more than $13 an hour after three years while top technicians earn almost $18 an hour. Union charges manipulation Bell Canada officials said Tuesday they haven't accused striking work- ers of slashing cables. NOTES INCREASE “We've seen in the last eight days a noticeable increase in broken cables,” said Bell spokesman Marilyn Koen. “We also know some of the cables have been vandalized. “We don't know who's doing’ it. We're not trying to insinuate. But we have to give you that information.” Koen denied claims by union offi- cials that it was a Bell management erew that accidentally severed cables in North York last weekend, leaving 4,000 customers without phone ser- vice. A different company was digging in the area and struck the cables be- cause the road's grade level had dropped, she said. Talks are at a standstill in the dispute. “No discussions are going on and no discussions are planned.” ’ a, July 6, 1988 Castlégar News AS Champlain's coffin found? QUEBEC (CP) — If a copper coffin found last week beneath the Quebec Basilica containg the remains of Samuel de Champlain, it'll mark the end of a centuries-old mystery sur- rounding the founder of New France. Historians and archeologists have been excited since Rene Levesque, an amateur archeologist, dug up a coffin made of copper, wood and mortar in the basilica's basement. They'll learn in a few days whether the provincial government and the church) will allow them to open it. Near the coffin, Levesque found days of the colony, and a 1633 or 1635 French coin. Experts agree the coffin likely contains the remains of an important testimony at trial VICTORIA (CP) — Len Olsen told a British Columbia Supreme Court libel trial Tuesday he quit using drugs four days before a ritual 16 years ago in which he claims he and his wife were almost used as human sacrifices. Olsen, taking the stand for the first time, said he and his wife Sheila agreed to stop smoking marijuana after they went through an initiation into the coven which was meeting in the ritual room of the now-defunct Diddling Metaphysical bookstore. Olsen, television evangelist David Mainse and the Toronto-based reli- gious program 100 Huntley Street are being sued for libel by Lion Ser- pent Sun, formerly known as Mark Fedoruk. Olsen claimed in a 1984 interview that he was converted to Christianity after he and his wife, through divine intervention, narrowly escaped being sacrificed in 1972. Sun and other members of the group have testified they were prac- tising wicca, or witchcraft, not satanism, at the time and that the Olsens were not threatened. One member of the coven, Terry Merx, testified earlier that drugs, not demons, cased Olsen to,"fneak out” and.believe he was going.ta be murdered Oct. 14, 1972. At that gathering, Olsen was “smoking marijuana to a degree I have never seen anyone consume,” Merx testified. Olsen, however, testified Tuesday that he and his wife gave up mari- juana after an unsettling initiation in which swords were pressed to the skin and they had to make an oath not to reveal the group's secrets. The initiation was held four days before the Oct. 14 incident. “Sheila had been trying to con- vince me to give up drugs. . . that was the pivot point, the moment we ” Olsen told his lawyer, Doug Whitworth. Olsen's sobriety later that night was also apparent to Gwenda Mal- oney, who testified Tuesday she had been a Lifeline volunteer at the time. She said she had gone to the Ol- sens’ home, at their request, after the sacrifice ritual. Maloney said she was at the Olsens’ home for some two hours and “they did not appear to be on drugs or, alcohol.” figure because of the expense of the coffin and the prestige of its burial 8 a iinedes also’discovered remains of two other skeletons in the area which would conform to records that say two of Champlain's friends were buried beside him in 1642. Levesque, a researcher with the provincial government, has been looking for Champlain's grave for 40 years. Champlain died on Christmas Day 1635 at the age of 65, after an ex.

Through painstaking study of ar- chival documents, O'Leary concluded by a process of elimination that Champlain was buried beneath the chapel of St. Joseph in the Quebec Basilica. Levesque heard about O'Leary's theory when a friend unearthed the newspaper article while doing re- search. F No autopsy was conducted on the period kept by the Jesuits may contain more medical records on Ch lain to aid in fication of the remains, said Honoreus Provost, an archivist and former president of the Quebec Historical Society.
