Man is charged for teen murder

CRANBROOK (CP) — A charge of first-degree mur der was laid today against a 22-year-old local man in the murder of a teenage girl last Sunday in this southeastern B.C. city.

Terry Wayne Burlingham is charged in the shooting death of Brenda Lee Hughes, 16. Hughes was shot to death in her Cranbrook home while her parents were away at church

It is the second killing of teenaged girls in Cranbrook in three months

In mid-October, the body of Denean Worm, 19, of Cranbrook was found along a side road just outside town. She had been shot. There have been no arrests in con nection with her death.

Wants report on smashup

CHILLIWACK (CP) — B.C. Highways Minister Alex Fraser said Tuesday he wants a report on the multi- vehicle crash last Saturday that killed two people.

He also wants to know, by the end of the week, who has the authority. to close the

- Trans-Canada Highway.

Fraser said the RCMP once had the power to close roads and often did so with- out informing highways offi- cials.

An inquest into the two deaths will be held in about a month and the question of road closures “will be a con- sideration,” said John Urqu. hart, district coroner for the Upper Fraser Valley.

Lloyd Clarence Magnuson, 47, of Chilliwack has been identified by RCMP as one of two people killed in the crash.

Police are withholding the name of the second victim.

Twenty-seven vehicles were involved in the week- end smashup that took place in a heavy snowstorm that eventually closed the high- way between Abbotsford and Chilliwack.

Twenty-five people were injured, none seriously.

RCMP have said the acci- dent could have been avoided if the Department of High- ways had acted right away on their recommendation that the highway be closed.

Highways officials have denied the charge, saying the police recommendation did not come soon efough to avert the pile-up. Only the department of highways can close a provincial road.

Restraint in store for 1985

KAMLOOPS (CP) — Pre: mier Bill Bennett says con- tinued restraint is in store for British Columbia's education and health care systems.

The premier, speaking in a year-end interview, said there isn't enough tax revenue to properly fund es. sential services such as schools and hospitals, so the province has to borrow $1 billion a year.

Restraint will be a fact of life for education and health for a number of years to come, he said, adding good management should never go out of style and becomes a necessity during tough econ. omic times.

On another matter, Ben. nett is not ruling out a cab- inet shuffle this year. A shuf. fle has been rumored for some time, and Bennett said he will make sure all gov. ernment members get an opportunity to do more. He says the changes could take place in a number of ways, ineluding giving government legislative members extra duties.

TREET TALK

THE CASTLEGAR FIRE Department made a couple of people pretty happy one evening last month. They invited Carl and Esther Leeblich to be special guests at their Christmas party.

Carl, a longtime mayor of Kifiaird and tmost recently a Castlegar alderman, was a great booster of the former Kinnaird Volunteer Fire Department, now the south Castlegar department.

Known toruna tight no-frills municipality with a low mill rate that was the envy of taxpayers in other Kootenay municipalities, Carl had a sof heart when it came to the fire department. It usually feceived most of what it annually asked for.

Fire Chief Bob Mann personally offered to pick Carl and Esther up for the party, and to deliver them home.

AS A FURTHER follow-up to the item in this column about the personal tribute paid to the late John Lennon by an unknown Kaslo man, Castlegar resident John Gourlay says there are now 75 neckties affixed to utility poles in the area between Queen's Bay and Coffee Creek.

John, who travels to Kaslo regularly in his position as area manager of domestic banking for the Bank of Montreal, counted the ties on a recent trip.

The neatly tied neckties are affixed high up on the utility poles and were apparently prompted by the illustration of neckties on one of the late rock legend's record albums.

A FEW ISSUES ago this column reported on a traditional Italian rendering of the nativity (called a presepio) that was done by a retired lawyer now living in Trail, Roberto Pini.

A master miniature builder, Mr. Pini built the 25-metre presepio in Italy, broke it down and had it shipped to Vancouver where it took him two months to reconstruct.

On display in a Vancouver store, Castlegar's Mary Anderson dropped by to view it while at: the coast.

“It's fantastic,” she says. There are 50 Hummel-like figures, animals, olive trees, a tiny, working waterfall and a babe in the manger. A voice-over tape describes the

scene and its implications in 17 languages while the accompanying music, a Christmas lullaby, was actually recorded in the Italian countryside.

People who view the presepio may also contribute to a fund to help the starving people of Ethiopia. Mary says they’re doing so — generously.

KOOTENAY Boundary Visitor's Association will no longer be producing the seasonal visitor's guide. The slick full-color guide to recreational fun in the Kootenay Boundary area was just getting too expensive to produce, according to Ald. Marilyn Mathieson, a member of last year’s KBVA.-board.

Mathieson says the guide put the KBVA in the hole every year and as a result “We just had to call a halt.”

Mathieson also said the KBVA's debt load is “something that's strangling the whole thing.”

The KBVA is currently looking for a new manager to replace John Donald, who left to become special assistant to Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco.

THE GAS WAR continues to rage in Castlegar. It slowed somewhat last week and prices rose to 52.5 cents a litre for regular gasoline.

However, that the ceasefire didn't last long. Prices dropped slowly for several days and have settled again at 47 to 47.5 cents a litre for regular gas.

A 51st U.S. state?

SPOKANE (AP) — The possibility of a 5Sist state embracing Eastern Washing. ton, Northern Idaho and Western Montana has been suggested for several years by Inland Northwest resi. denis frustrated by literal and figurative mountains be twéen themselves and their state capitals.

The concept has been taken a step further by the Spokane Spokesman-Review newspapers, which on Sun day published a fact filled, statistically packed supple: ment Columbia, A Paradise Found, as its 1984 progress edition.

The 96-page supplement offers readers’ choices for the state’s symbols as well as the educational, economic, poli tical and environmental cli mate of the fictional Wilder ness State.

Phil Gruis, assistant man aging editor, writes, “We are

misunderstood by our gov. ernments, it was said a cen tury ago, and said again last year; we're neglected; we're getting the short end.”

Gruis writes that there is a sense of common identity and destiny among the people in those areas. “And so, moved more by pride»anid kinship than by frustration, we bave redrawn the map. We have, in this book, created theState of Columbia.”

He admits the line drawing was arbitrary and a bit ruth less. “We whacked off Wash ington along the Cascades We lopped off the top of Idaho and took a big bite of Montana, all the way to the Continental Divide.”

The newspaper's editors chose Spokane, Columbia's largest city with a population of 170,200, as the state capi- tal.
