Clark, the former prime minister heading up the Con- servative disarmament hearings, expects to make a report with recommendations to Opposition Leader Brian Mulro- ney by the end of April.

Those who have appeared at the hearings in Halifax, Montreal, Edmonton, Vancouver and Toronto are seriously worried about disarmament, he said. The concern among those preoccupied with security questions has equalled that of those worried about peace. “They expect that the government should try to act and there is also a sense that Canada can do something, within limits.” SPECIALS FOR YOU Monday, Tuesdey and Wednesday this week COOKED HAME ———EEEEEE Court news enna re Randy Mykyte was fined $400 after pleading guilty to possessing a narcotic this week in Castlegar provincial court. * 6 -* Deidre Collier was fined $75 after pleading guilty to being a minor in possession of BULK. ee Loe $5.49 /kg. ...

By joining ASK, people will be able to say — I've had it with asking and to join ASK is to tell.” The restaurant owner said the second reason for the organization's name is its use as an organizing tool. “T plan to give everyone who joins the group a button on which ASK is imprinted on @ beautiful scene of moun- tains, trees and a lake,” Jessen said. “Anyone wearing this button will automatically generate conversaion with whomever he or she meets because the button urges people to ask.” Jessen said government cutbacks in staffing at the Forest Service, Human Resources, Fish and Wildlife, Highways, and Lands, Parks and Housing Ministries is having a devastating effect on the area's economy. “The announced closure of the David Thompson University Centre in Nelson was the last straw for me,” Jessen said;-edding that students, staff and faculty account for 20 per cent of his restaurant's business. “Business was already down 11 per cent in 1983,” dn bal ent the Kootenay area and they are moving in droves,” he said. “There are 500 homes for sale in the Nelson area alone. i The tone of his sic Jessen pointed out. “I hope a humorous approach will garner some media attention to the seriousness of our situation,” Jessen said. “Our slogan is, ‘If we use a little humor, maybe we can laugh them out of office’.” A 87-year-old native of Denmark Who became a Canadian citizen in 1967, Jessen said he has been told the tone of his organization is akin to the way the Danish people reacted to the invasion of the German army during World War II. “People have told me the Danes just laughed at the Germans for theis action,” Jessen said. “I think a similar kind of ridicule is called for in response to the Social Credit government's actions in the Kootenays. The restaurant owner said one of the first actions of ASK will put Premier Bill Bennett in the unemployment line. “Because we do not have a warm weather, polluted lake to send our area's decadent bureauerats for their holidays, we plan to include the entire riding of Okanagan South within the boundaries of our new state or prov ince,” Jessen said. “Unfortunately this will put the premier out of a job as he is the MLA for Okanagan South,” he added. “This will give him the opportunity to learn how almost 40 per cent of the people in the West Kootenay are living.” ys to: Nelson generates more than 50 per cent of the electrical energy created in the province.

Colderbonk CHANCELLOR ELECTED VANCOUVER (CP) — W. Robert Wyman, chairman of the Canadian Chamber of which all UBC graduates were eligible to mail ballots. But a k said the graduates who would vote for a Socred candidate for Commerce, has been elected chancellor of the University of British Columbia. Wyman succeeds J.V. Clyne, who will complete his second three-y term in June. A UBC chancellor may serve only two terms. The only other candidate was Stan Persky, a leftist balloting in favor of Wyman was about two to one.

In that sense, I'm not one of those fringe can- didates. “Underneath all this hors- ing around, there is. some- thing serious going on,” he said. Persky said he received about 5,300 votes and Wy- man about 10,000 votes.

Hydro means West Kootenay Power and Light Co. Ltd. may only increase power rates 7.5 per cent, instead of 8.1 per cent. A ding to WKPL sp Jack Fisher, B.C. Hydro recently offered to sell surplus power for $13.75 million annually, instead of $30 million. The B.C. Utilities Commission awarded WKPL a 7.3 per cent interim rate increase effective Jan. 1 — to be refunded if the utility can't justify the hike at rate increase hearings now taking place in Kelowna. The deal on the B.C. Hydro surplus power means an additional .8 per cent hike requested will be ded to .2 COLUMBUS, OHIO (AP) ‘— A family that complained its house was taken over by a strange psychic force now is being beset by a phenomenon of another kind — limelight. Television stations have set up their cameras, waiting for something to bear out John and Joan Resch’s reports of glasses shattering, light flashing and furniture moving Dise jockeys for a radio station's morning drive-time music show broadcast from the house Friday. The dee jays said they jumped when the telephone rang, but no- ticed nothing unusual. The founder of a gropu that investigates such occur rences says he's skeptical about the case. “In the past, many similar so-called visitations have either been due to rich imag ination, creative extrapola tion and outright pranks,” said Paul Kurtz, founder of, the Committee for Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal, based in Buffalo, N.Y He said three members of the committee would like to visit the Resch home next week to make an “objective, scientific inquiry “From what we've read and heard about the case, there is a great deal of superstitious gullibility,” Kurtz said. “in limelight “Common sense might be the prescription.” By Friday, the Resches had apparently tired of the attentiog: A man who an- swered the door at the house refused to give even his name and said no one was home. “I wouldn't doubt what they're seeing, but why they're seeing it, who the heck knows?” said Jean Alli son, the Resch’s next-door neighbor and an in-law. The Resches and their six children first came to public notice on Tuesday when the Columbus Dispatch publish- ed their reports that the house had apparently been invaded by an unusual “force.” After two days of in. sisting their identities re- main secret, the Resches stepped into the glare of publicity Thursday by open ing their home to reporters. Most reporters wrote they saw nothing unusual, and the Resches suddenly were on the defensive. On Thursday night, WTVN-TV in Columbus broadcast footage showing the Resch's 14-yer-old daugh- ter, Tina, knocking over a lamp with her hand. The Resches have .said the strange occurrences take- place only when Tina is home. Mrs. Resch said later that Tina admitted toppling the lamp. Dancer killer gets 15 years VANCOUVER (CP) — Carlton Rojas received a life per cent. B.C. Hydro power purchases make up about three per cent of WKPL power requirements, said Fisher in a telephone interview Friday. WKPL now produces about 70 per cent of the power it needs, and buys the rest from Cominco and B.C. Hydro. The B.C. Utilities Commission hearing on WKPL's proposed rate increases began Feb. 14 in Friday for the mur- der of exotic dancer Layla Underwood and will have to serve at least 15 years before he is eligible for parole. Mr. Justice Patrick Dohm of British Columbia Supreme Court overruled the jury's Taxes and the cost of power have contributed to the rate increase, Fisher said And a major expense for WKPL is upgrading its facilities, something that was “put on the back burner” during the last two years. “Now we have no choice — we must do these capital projects to maintain services,” he added. Fisher said the commission hasn't yet made a decision on the rate hikes, but he expects the hearings to conclude by the end of next week. An “important factor” leading to the commission's decision is the rate of return WKPL will give to its share- holders following the increases, said Fisher. He said the WKPL application is designed to maintain and not increase this rate. Customers’ ability to pay an issue raised at the beginning of the hearings by the Consumers’ Association of Canada — wasn't taken into consideration when WKPL de cided to raise its rates, said Fisher. “No sir. We realized many customers are strapped for money . . . but that’s a matter for the government (to re- solve).” Because Cominco doesn't expect to have surplus power for an unlimited period of time, and WKPL’s contract to buy their surplus power expires in 1990, WKPL faces buying more power from B.C. Hydro — which usually costs three times the Cominco or in house rate. Fisher said WKPL has investigated putting additional generators at Cominco's Waneta and Brilliant dams, but the cost of the power would be at least twice the usual rate. SERIES OF TIME BOMBS that Rojas serve a minimum 10 years. He said a longer period is required because the defen- dant profited from the mur- der. Rojas, 32, of North Van- couver, slashed 27-year-old Underwood's throat last March when he attempted to rob her Burnaby apartment. In sentencing Rojas, Jus- tice Dohm referred to the man’s claim the murder was actually committed by his girlfriend, Ingrid Smith, a 22-year-old cosmetician. “You have done a das- tardly thing not only to Miss Underwood but also to Miss Smith,” said Dohm. Defence- lawyer Mike Rhodes said he is considering ap appeal. £ 4; Feds may have to defend the cruise OTTAWA (CP) — The Liberals may have to defend during the next federal elec- tion campaign the decision to allow testing of the American cruise missile in Canada, says Defence Minister Jean- Jacques Blais. “If the electorate wishes to make the cruise or disar- mament an issue in the next campaign, they will surely do so,” he said during a weekend interview with Standard Broadcast News. Anti-cruise groups are ap- proaching federal candidates across the country to deter- mine their views on testing the missile, the minister said. A federal election is widely expected before the end of the year. The cruise issue, however, will probably not be a source of debate be- tween Liberals and Conser- vatives. Both parties agree that Canada should test the missile to fulfil NATO ob- ligations. Night club explosion hurts 23 sions. “Definitely not.

Liberal leadership race grows OTTAWA (CP) — Justice Minister Mark MacGuigan is expected to be the first of possibly several cabinet min- isters to enlarge the Liberal leadership race next week. MacGuigan associates con- firmed Friday that the bilin- gual minister from Windsor, Ont., will announce his can- didacy today in Edmonton. Accompanying MacGuigan will be Edmonton Mayor Lawrence Decore, a promin- ent Alberta Liberal. A key consideration for delegates at the leadership convention June 14-17 in Ot- tawa will be to choose a per- son perceived as being able to improve the Liberals’ dis- mal fortunes in the West. This appears to be the reason for MacGuigan's de- cision to start his campaign in Alberta. Economie Development Minister Donald Johnston is the only minister so far to enter the race. Agriculture Minister Eug- ene Whelan hinted Friday that he will announce his lea- dership intentions today and, judging from his remarks to reporters in Fredericton, he is. seriously considering ta- king the plunge.

Hucklesby said three of the injured were in serious con- dition. No one was killed, primarily because the bomb “was not salted with nuts, bolts, ball bearings or nails like the IRA has a fancy to do.” Later in the morning, po- lice detonated three other devices outside newspaper shops—one more on Queen- sway and two outside a shop in Kensington a few hundred metres from Kensington Pal- ace, the London home of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. There were no injuries. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher told a reporter she " to police for their successful disposal of the three undetonated de- vices. Nine days ago, Scotland Yard issued a special warn. ing that trouble was brewing in London's Libyan com munity, and it deployed armed guards at a number of Islamic centres and busi- nesses in the city. Published reports said authorities had information that Libyan hit squads loyal to Khadafy were planning at- * tacks on his enemies to mark the seventh anniversary of the opening of the People’s Congress (parliament) in Tripoli. “Our inquiries at present are assuming that this mor. ning’s bombs were as a result of that trouble.” Hucklesby said.
