image of the desired creation in the
mind of the weaver. It then evolves
through a highly creative process of
preparation of materials, setting up
of looms and weaving the tissue in
such a manner as to bring out the
desired color, texture and drape of
the finished fabric and creation.

The Selkirk Weavers Guild, an
energetic and growing group in the
community, has more than 50 mem-
bers. During the past two years it
has exhibited its community spirit by
giving an exhibit and demonstration
of weaving skills at the February
Heritage Week celebrations at the
Castlegar Rail Station.

This year, since plans are being
made by the newly formed Castlegar
and District Heritage Society to
restore and develop the station, the
Weavers will be sending a repre
sentative to the Society executive
meeting to negotiate for work and
display space on the upper floor of
the station building. They will also be
discussing a more active role in the
Heritage Week activities and mem.
bership in the Society.

Society.

Since the Castlegar Arts Council is
interested in office space, they too
will be sending a representative to
the meeting.

Mayor Audrey Moore said she met
with B.C. Lieut.-Gov. David Lam
while she was in Victoria recently.
Moore said Lam expressed an inter-
est in visiting Castlegar.

Moore added that Lam has been in
Castlegar “three or four times,” but
not in his official capacity as lieut-
enant-governor.

Ng may appeal

EDMONTON (CP) — American officials are
asking for the speedy return of Charles Ng to face
charges in a string of brutal sex-slayings after an
Alberta judge ruled he should be extradited.

However, the lawyer for the 27-year-bld former
U.S. marine plans to file ap) which, -he says,
could keep Ng in Canada another five years.

Ng, who pronounces his name Ing, faces 12
counts of murder in the alleged sex-torture killings of
11 men, women and children at a cabin in California's
Calaveras County and in the death of a San Francisco
dise jockey.

If convicted, he could be executed in California's
gas chamber.

Madam Justice Marguerite Trussler of Alberta
Court of Queen’s Bench ruled Tuesday there was
sufficient evidence to return him to the U.S. to face
trial.

Defence lawyer Don MacLeod said he intends to
file an appeal with the Alberta Court of Appeal and
will take the case to the Supreme Court of Canada if
necessary. He has 15 days to file appeal documents.

“Given the stakes involved, and the risk of the
death penalty, every legal avenue will be pursued,”
said MacLeod, who refused to disclose who was
paying Ng’s legal bill and how much it has cost so far.

Gov. George Deukmeijian of California is asking
Canadian officials to expedite Ng’s return. He said
delays would make prosecution in the United States
more difficult.

“In the interest of justice, I am today asking the
Canadian authorities to make as swift a determina
tion as possible,” he told a news conference. “There
are few crimes in modern times that are more
heinous as the atrocities attributed to Charles Ng.”

Deukmeijian wrote Prime Minister Brian
Mulroney last May saying Canada's refusal to

extradite Ng “could have the unfortunate conse-
quence of making Canada a haven for death-penalty
fugitives.”

Crown prosecutor Bruce MacFarlane said the
process will be expedited and other procedures, such
as deportation, will be considered.

“We are confident the extradition will not take
five years,” he said.

The ultimate decision on Ng’s fate will be made
by Canada's justice minister, who under a 1971
Canada-U.S, extradition treaty can refuse to
surrender Ng unless the United States waives the
death penalty.

19 CHARGES

Trussler ruled Ng, who was born in Hong Kong
and educated in British private schools, can be
extradited on only 19 of the 25 criminal charges he
faces in the United States.

The heavily-muscled Ng, who was handcuffed
and shackled during the six-week hearing, has been
serving a 4'/2-year sentence in the maximum-secur-.
ity Saskatchewan Penitentiary in Prince Albert. He
was convicted following a bungled shoplifting
altempt in Calgary in 1985 in which he shot a
security guard in the hand.

In her 17-page decision, Trussler dismissed six
charges, including one of being an accessory after
murder in the death of San Francisco used-car
salesman Paul Cosner. The charge is not considered
grounds for extradition.

Cosner's sister, Sharon Sellitto, said she was
heartbroken he won't be tried for her brother's
death,

Ng and Leonard Lake — an alleged partner who
committed suicide by swallowing a cyanide capsule
—\were arrested in June 1985 when they were
driving Cosner's 1980 Honda Prelude.

Labor ready to fight

VANCOUVER (CP) — The federal
government is in for a fight unless it
agrees to compensate workers af-
fected by free trade, the president of
the Canadian Labor Congress prom.
ised.

“We're not going to roll over and
play dead” just because Prime Min-
ister Brian Mulroney has the parli
amentary majority needed to pass
the trade agreement with the United
States, Shirley Carr told delegates to
the British Columbia Federation of
Labor's annual convention.

The congress is putting together a
proposal for the federal government
that Carr said would recommend
compensation for workers who lose
their jobs because of the trade
agreement.

‘The congress has predicted that
800,000 jobs will be lost — many of
them in manufacturing, food pro-
cessing and textile industries. It has
also said the trade deal will jeopar-
dize social and regional development
programs and cripple other sectors of
the economy.

“The package will include some
form of transitional assistance,” Carr
said.

The labor leader said the adjust-
ment package must include govern-
ment job placement services, em-
ployment counselling, improved pen-
sions for early retirement, more
funding for centres to help the un-
employed and improved training
programs.

Former B.C. premier Dave: Bar.
rett, who won the Vancouver Island
riding of Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca for
the NDP in the Nov. 21 federal
election, also told the delegates that
the government should release any
studies it has on the adverse effects
of free trade on employment.

Gibraltar Mines
strike settled

VANCOUVER (CP) — The Gibral.
tar Mines Ltd. copper mine near
Williams Lake in the British Colum
bia Interior is expected to be back in
full operation by the end of this
week, following the settlement of a
6'/-month strike.

The 230 workers, members of the
Canadian Association of Industrial,
Mechanical and Allied Workers,
voted 65 per cent in favor of ac
cepting a three-year contract. The
previous contract expired March 31

The settlement includes an im-

mediate cash payment of $2,000 to
each employee, wage increases aver.
aging 7.8 per cent in the first year
and four per cent in each of the
second and third years, and improve-
ments in contract language and ben.
efits.

Earlier this month, Gibraltar, a
subsidiary of Placer Dome Inc., re-
ported it lost $966,000 in the third
quarter of 1988 because of the strike.
That reduced the nine-month earn-
ings figure to $7.3 million or 60 cents
a share.

Bullet

comes too
close

PORTAGE LA PRAIRIE, MAN.
(CP) — An Oakville woman who had
a close call with a hunters bullet last
week said she will be meeting with
Manitoba Natural Resources Min
ister Jack Penner to demand changes
in hunting regulations.

Debbie Nissen said she will talk
with the minister Friday afternoon.

Nissen and her husband, Glen,
were standing in their yard when a
bullet from one of about 10 hunters in
the area “whizzed past our heads.”

Police investigated but could find
no bullet or any damage.

“In my opinion, the laws set up
regarding deer hunters are at this
point very, very sloppy.”

Nissen said she is concerned that
regulations are not tight enough in
keeping hunters away from farms.
She also said it is too easy to get
licences.

Conservation officials said they are
investigating Nissen's complaint.

Nissen also said she is trying to
organize a support group of people
with similar complaints.
