Most active in the House has been Crosbie, who placed third behind Mulroney and Clark at the convention. After his defeat. Crosbie directed his anger at Clark, calling him “ardently stupid” for staying in the ballotting until the end and not throwing his support to the Newfound- land MP. Before the last ballot, Crosbie grudgingly moved toward the Mulroney camp. Back in the Commons, Crosbie was rewarded with the finance critic's job, a position that has made him the point man in the Tories’ continued attacks on Liberal economic policies. : ‘LITTLE IMPACT But Crosbie's often caustic questioning appears to have had little impact on Finance Minister Marc Lalonde or other Liberal front-benchers, often merely setting the stage for lengthy explanations of government policy and programs. Since September, the high point of Crosbie's performance has been a ribald response to New Democrat MP Lorne Nystrom’s accusation that Crosbie’s choice of a former Playboy playmate to appear at a fund-raising dinner was sexist. Crosbie drew roars of laughter from both sides of the House when he called Nystrom a “slippery and sly sexual Kootenay’s Best Appliances Maytag—G.£.—Sub-Zero , denn-Air—Kitchen Ald White—Westinghouse ALL SERVICE ALL REPAIR Castlegar Plumbing & Heating Ltd. 1008 Columbia Ave. 365-3388 stereotyper,” and said that he and the play f:) Tweed, “will give the boots to the nasty Nystrom,” a reference to the mukluks — up for auction at the dinner — that Crosbie wore when he brought down his politically disastrous 1979 budget. Wilson, Clark's minister for international trade and the first of the leadership candidates to throw his support to Mulroney at the convention, has made few waves as industry and trade critic in what should have been a high-profile post in the economic debate. _ TRY TO SCORE Aside from stiff competition from Conservative back-benchers trying to score points against the Liberals, Wilson has been preoccupied with the crucial political post of helping to direct campaign strategy in Ontario. Crombie has also been relatively quiet in the Commons, largely because of the lack of a major issue to latch on to as communications critic, but also because since mid-Septem- ber the former Toronto mayor has ‘been given what a Mul aide called “the ly heavy political role” of i in the Toronto area, Clark, meanwhile, has only raised questions on parliamentary reform on the Commons order paper, sticking to what he calls his personal intersts while Mulroney establishes himself as leader. In one of the rare interviews he's given since returning to the Commons, Clark said: “I've tried to pursue ‘my own interests’ in ways that still leave the stage clear for the leader. “Now that he's himself as a pari that means I can move in a little more frequently in the House, as I will in the next two or three weeks.” QUESTION CHECKS Clark's only incursion on to Mulroney's turf came last month when former Liberal mines minister Roger Simmons explained why he resigned after holding the portfolio for only 10 days.

In an attempt to smooth over the divisions created by the leadership race, Mulroney has shelled out time and money to help Crosbie and Wilson recover some of their campaign spending. Most importantly, the purge some of the losers’ supporters feared has not materialized. As well as the shadow cabinet and committee appoint- ments, Mulroney has followed through with a campaign promise to name some of his opponents’ key advisers to party and campaign posts.

Faculty Association members have been honor- ing the picket line. The two sides met for 11 hours on , Thursday and five hours on Friday, after which the union broke off the negotiations. College personnel manager Barry Jackson said Saturday that no further meetings are planned and no agree- ment ‘could be reached in the contro- became quite evident that the union is not going to back down on its positio: of contracting out. oe He said the union wants to be able to go to arbitration each and every time it doesn’t agree with the college's con- tracting out. “This would tie our hands complete- fi ly,” he said. Another topic of discussion was the union's: classification article where union members would be able to agree or disagree with their job content. That issue has been resolved. The other’ outstanding issue. is wages. Jackson said that although the union has downplayed wages, it has asked for a five per cent increase in the first year of its contract and five per cent in the second year. As well the union has called upon the college to issue a statement saying it: won't implement ‘conditions: under the provincial government's Bill 8, which allows them to fire workers without cause. _ “We are saying if the Legislation says the college shall do something they have to do it. If it says the college may do something that’s different.” “Maybe a week from now the pres- sure will be on us, and things will change. Maybe the same pressure will be applied on the union,” he said, until the two sides come back to the bar- gaining table. “Only time will tell as to who com- promises first,” he added. Local PPWC president Lil Zibin “could not be reached for comment. the Faculty A i is meeting ‘this afternoon to decide whether to return to work, said presi- dent Gordon Gibson. Gibson said the association, which voted in favor of honoring the picket line on Monday, now seems to be split on whether to honor the line. “I guess a lot of faculty are con- ‘cerned about their students,” he spec- ulated, adding he was unable to read the mood of the faculty. Gibson also suspects another vote will be con- ducted. ‘ But aftershocks passed unnoticed By RON NORMAN Editor Castlegar was rocked Friday by two earthquakes — one a major quake that killed two people and jarred Western Canada and the northwestern U.S. The first quake struck at 7:06 a.m. Castlegar time and lasted for several fniniites, according to Dr. Dieter ~Weichert, head of ‘seismology at the Pacific Geosciences Centre in Sidney :1on Vancouver ‘Island. ) spelt measured 60 vn the Richter scale, He ‘the ‘sdeohd quake — which for, the most. part went unnoticed in Castlegar — struck just before’1 p.m. Friday and measured 5.8 on the Richter scale. It was felt as far north as Kamloops, ; And Weichert said Castlegar resi- dents can expect to feel more after- shocks of the first major quake. In Castlegar, residents said dishes rattled, trees swayed and beds rocked, but no damage was. reported. A Castlegar and District Hospital spokes- Wet said in.a telephone interview. fe ull man said hospital staff noticed the quake, but nothing was affected. Castlegar resident Bill Savinkoff was just pouring himself a cup of coffee when his houseplants started “shak- ing. \ “I thought it was a heckuva wind,” Savinkoff said. “I just couldn't figure out what it was.” He then turned on his television and heard of the quake. Savinkoff said he’s lived here more than 80 ‘years and has never seen an earthquake like.it, 321... But Weichert said the area has been’ hit’ by: an even: stronger earthquake. ° 4 phe wae eee. when:a-quake centred. e, about 200 kilometres epicentre, registered 7 ot the Richter ‘scale. ‘ Weichert said Friday's quake was “very big for that area,” but noted that quakes are not’ uncommon in the West Kootenay. He said several smaller quakes hit the area in the 1960s and in the 1940s quakes measured in the 6's. “It's not that rare,” he said, though he added quickly that a quake the size of the quake Friday is rare. The epicentre was near the town of Chilly on the Big Lost River, about 200 kilometres east of Boise, Idaho. in Hebge east of CEASEFIRE FOR PULP INDUSTRY More than 660\unionized workers at BC Timber's Celgar pulp and lumber mills are back on the job this weekend after union and management agreed to a ceasefire. Pulp mill spokesman Bert Collier said the management lockout notice was lifted at 2:30 p.m. Friday after the 5,500-member Pulp, Paper and Wood- workers of Canada agreed to a 21-day moratorium. Collier said work at the mill began Friday night. A total of 825 pulp workers, members of PPWC had been off ‘the job at.Celgar since Tuesday m ig. The sawmill shut down when its 225- workers — members of the Interna- tional Woodworkers of America — would not operate the sawmill using pulp mill steam. It too is back in operation. The moratorium on job action by union and management means the lockout that was costing the nine B.C. pulpmills an estimated $3.6 million has been lifted.

Fad costumes, not traditional the whole punk rock scene is an “aggressive and violent movement.” “And those individuals who choose to dress up as that probably want to let out some of that feeling.” Debra Co aS turn up at your door on Halloween demanding treats. These days children prefer the light sabre and Darth Vader cape to the traditional costumes of the past. Capitalizing on the success of the Star Wars trilogy and Garfield costumes, manufacturers are turning out costumes guaranteed to titillate the imaginations of most media-minded children. A CasNews survey of stores in the area selling Halloween tips, BS ———— costumes for Halloween indicates that kids want to dress up as their favorite cartoon characters or movie idols — not as a simple ghost or witch. ‘At Pharmasave Drugs in downtown Castlegar, PacMan, Garfield and Care Bear costumes seem to the favorites, says Trudy Biln. And Stedmans Department Store is nearly sold out of what owner Paul Kerekes calls “space-type costumes.” “Well, the space-type costumes are very popular, anything todo with Darth Vader and the Star Wars type of thing,” Kerekes says. And he notes that the Superman costume is also popular. “I know my kid is going as Superman,” he adds, Despite the deluge of plastic masks and fireproof costumes on the market, many store owners in the area 1 a that handmad are again in vogue. According to Nick Deenik at Robinsons, the ready-made costume market “has been dying” over the years. 2 “It's a one shot, one season deal,” Deenik says. “The kids sweat in them and they’re tough to get over the kid’s clothing.” He says that probably about 70 per cent of area children will be wearing homemade costumes this year.

Stedmans’ Kerekes couldn't figure it out either. His store has been the saving grace for people searching for odd-colored leotards and he says he spoke to one fellow who plans to dress up as a duck. “I talked to one young guy who said he was dressing up as a duck, another came in to buy a toque, which he said he was going to cut up, although he didn't say what his will be. Punk rockers might be d a predictabl costume because just about anything goes. A torn T-shirt over tight jeans is all that it takes to create that angry, disreputable look. But why people choose to dress up as punk rockers is an interesting question, so we decided to ask Selkirk College instructer Shelley Wichert. She feels makeup kits — used to create everything from “But when you see these guys come in buying yellow and white leotards it’s pretty humorous.” Wichert says a lot of people dress up in costumes to act out their fantasies. Buy why a’duck? Says Wichert: “It’s a way of getting attention, and perhaps that's what masquerading is all about.”
