Wild west? Cory James Hawke, 28, of Nelson has been ordered to pay costs for dental repair for Japanese student, Yuko Adachi after he physicially assaulted her. Hawke was also sentenced-to one-year proba- tion and 100 hours of commu- nity work. In handing down his sentence Judge Don Carl- gen told Hawke that Japan's image of North American has already been diminished by the recent killing of an exchange student in the Unit- ed States. “They see us as the wild west,” said the judge. “This hasn’t done much for Nelson’s reputation.” Motor vehicle accident William Hamilton, 47, of New Denver, is dead following an accident 3 km south of Silver- ton, September 23.

Tuesday morning almost 55 RCMP from detachments throughout the Kootenays arrived to arrest those Doukhobors at the New Settlement near Krestova ‘who continued to defy a court- ordered injunction to quit blockading surveyors’ efforts. At around 9 a.m., media and RCMP arrived at the site which was crowded with protestors and \other residents of the community iwho waited in silence for the ‘police action to begin. ‘Wamed by RCMP October 2 that an enforcement order\had been if granted and action aders continued to stand. When media and RCMP arrived the 25 blockaders formed a circle, joined hands, and sang in Russian. Wearing traditional Doukhobor and pins with the words Toil and a Peaceful Life, the protestors chanted while looking upon thé tangible symbol of their regligion, a jug of water, a shakert of salt and a loaf of bread set on a stool After reading the injunction and enforcement orders in both Russian and English, Nelson RCMP Sergeant D.K. Lewis requested several times that blockaders step aside and allow surveyor Alex Cheveldave access to the property. With determina- tion in their eyes the blockaders continued singing and praying all the while being drowned out by the sound of a police helicoptor circling overhead. Lewis then warned the protestors that they had three minutes to disperse. The blockaders continued to i him. After refusing for a final time allow the surveyor access, olice teams of four were sig- to arrest the L first protestor, a middle- aged man, dropped to the ground as police grabbed both of his arms in an attempt to lead him to police processing. Watching the action were children and elderly women, some of whom were cry- ing. Although many protestors had to be carried from the site, others, such as Mike Cher- nenkoff, walked peaceably on their own to awaiting police. There was speculation that burn- ing of homes or disrobing would have dis- robed.

After processing, the protestors were carried into a waiting police van which had seperate cages for each person. They will appear before a court judge in Nelson today who will determine whether they are released on con- dition, or will be charged. On hand to document the scene were television crews from BCTV, CBC and a French network, as and local newspapers. ‘ recording the action on video was an RCMP officer, and a person ic to the D cause as well as free-lance writers. Two weeks ago B.C. Lands agents, flanked by RCMP offi- cers, read an injunction to Doukhobor community members prohibiting them from further blocking land agents from sur- veying the property. When block- aders refused to take the injuc- tion, land agents dropped the injunction notices to the ground. This was B.C. Land’s final plea to the Doukhobors to allow surveying of the 233.5 acre prop- erty. Some Doukhobors in the community have steadfastly refused to pay property taxes claiming that God owns the land, and therefore it’s not taxable. The property reverted to the crown in 1989 for non-payment of taxes. About half of the 62 families liv- ing on the land have agreed to purchase the land their homes sit on from the government for $1, plus taxes and any associated costs. But before they could do so the land has to be surveyed. Right photo—Bowing to Mother Earth, protesters kneel to kiss the ground.

TREATMENT? For appointments: (Marner of the Aowpuneture Assccie'ion of Britieh Cohwmba, WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT DURING ACUPUNCTURE Most patients find an acupuncture treatment very relaxing and are surprised at how comfortable they are during a treatment. Over the centuries, refined needle insertion techniques have been developed which enabled the skilled practitioner to place a needle with little or no sensation. This Is because the needles are very thin, about the thickness of a few strands of hair. They are solid and nothing Is injected through them. After the needles are placed just under the skin they are then “stimulated” or moved slightly to “obtain the Qi” which when reached will create a wamm spreading, pulsing or tingling sensation at the acupuncture point. The needles are then left in for 5 - 45 minutes depending on the treatment. In some cases it is not necessary to use needles at all. For example when treating infants, small children or sensitive adults there are other techniques which are equally effective. (All needles are sterilized to medically accepted standards and are disposable.) LISA A.
