She came up with the idea of having trees in different themes, for example oriental, country or deco, always using materi: at hand and seeing possibi discards from wallpaper and depart ment stores. Everyone then followed her demonstration on how to fold Swedish paper stars with varying degrees of success. Sandra is willing to give another short demonstration to anyone who wants to try again.

Cakes and other goodies - were provided by the library staff to say a persona! thank you to the volunteers who faithfully serve the library all year.

committee will be announced shortly.

Bell was speaking to members of Kootenay Region Minister of State Howard Dirks’ task forces on parks, recreation and tourism utilities and air access.

He said Hydro's decision to set up the new committee, and to provide staff support, was in step with regionalization initiatives being taken by the provincial government. A Peace River Advisory Committee, chaired by Hydro board member Pat Walsh, also has been formed.

Bell added that Hydro would .be holding a series of Columbia River Treaty public information seminars in Castlegar, Nakusp and other area

communities to provide local resi. dents with an opportunity to discuss the operation of the Columbia River generation projects. The first meet- ing will be on Jan. 21 at the Fireside Inn, Castlegar.

“The treaty and its many implic. ations are very complex and we expect these seminars will open the way toa better understanding of how Hydro manages its generating plants and reservoirs on the Columbia,” Bell said.

Stressing the treaty was for a period of 60 years, Bell added: “The downstream generation _ benefits, which start to revert to British Columbia in the late 1990's, are not

Cominco moves

pipelines for

Trail approach

The West Trail Approach Project is continuing with the beginning work to relocate process pipelines by Cominco crews. Cominco began pre- paring the $1.6-million project after receiving notification from the prov- ince on Nov. 23 that the company would be reimbursed for all funds spent.

Crews are now completing the site preparation stage of the project, which involves bringing in truckloads of fill to level the land surrounding the site, said Don Nutini, services project superintendent.

Relocation of the pipelines will begin once surveying is completed and concrete pipe supports and structural steel have been erected,

Nominations still open

British Columbians have until Dec. 31 to submit nominees for the 1988 minister's Environmental Awards.

‘These awards focus public recog.

n and generate support. for in dividuals, businesses and organiza- tions that show leadership in im proving environmental quality — and anyone in B.C. can nominate their choice of candidate,” Environment Minister Bruce Strachan said.

The awards are given in six cate- gories: individual citizen, youth or school group, citizens’ group, busi- ness/industrial, government agency and environmental education.

Nominations may be submitted through any office of the Ministry of Environment before Dec. 31, 1988, and the winners will be announced before March 31, 1989.

Nutini said. This will begin immedi- ately.

The nine process pipelines that now run along the ground, adjacent to Bingay Road, will pass over High- way 22 when the approach is com- plete, Nutini said. The pipes, which carry such materials as steam and gas between the Trail-and Warfield operations, will be housed in a 3.6-metre (11 foot) diameter, 45- metre (148 foot) long tube.

Cominco is responsible for the de- sign, purchase of materials and in- stallation of the lines.

The relocation phase will be com- pleted in early 1989.

Free-trade favors media

KITCHENER, ONT. (CP) — Jour. nalists may not have to be ineluded in the free-trade agreement with the United States, Trade Minister John Crosbie says.

“If it is the desire of journalists and their associations that they do not wish to benefit from the simplified and enhanced temporary provisions of the FTA, then the goverhment of €anada and the government of the United States can act to delete journalists from the list,” Crosbie said in a letter to the Canadian Daily Newspaper Publishers Association.

Under the agreement, members of

the media will qualify for relaxed immigration laws if they hold a bachelor’s degree and have three years experience. The group has protested the provision, saying it smacks of state licensing.

The association has also argued, as a matter of principle, that journalists should not be getting any special privileges above and beyond those accorded any other class of workers.

Crosbie has said the trade agree ment has no effect on the current system of allowing temporary entry to accredited journalists who are as signed by their news agencies.

In his Nov. 10 reply to association chairman K.A. Baird, publisher of the Kitchener-Waterloo Record, Crosbie seemed to be baffled as to why journalists would want to give up something that is to their advantage.

Crosbie said the trade agreement will “enhance the movement of jour. nalists-and actually improve their temporary employment opportuni ties.”

Baird said as a result of Crosbie's letter, the association will probably make a submission arguing for the

exclusion of journalists.

murder of her baby daughter, who was killed by a dingo wild dog eight years ago.

In September three Northern Ter. ritory Supreme Court judges quash ed Chamberlain's conviction for the murder of her daughter Azaria and the conviction of her husband Mich ael for being an accessory after the fact.

Azaria disappeared from a camp site near Ayers Rock in central Australia in August 1980 and her body was never found

The case sparked the most cele- brated murder. inquiry in recent Australian history and it is the subject of a film, A Cry in the Dark, starring U.S. actress Meryl Streep as Chamberlain.

Chamberlain was sentenced to life imprisonment by a Northern Ter. ritory jury in 9182 but released after serving three years. Her husband was given a suspended sentence.

A spokesman for Northern Ter. ritory Attorney General Darryl Manzie said late Tuesday that Manzie received a letter last Friday from both Chamberlains seeking compensation.

“It is a decision (on compensation) that Mr. Manzie will not be taking on his own,” the spokesman said. “He will talk to cabinet and there will be a fair amount of research before any decisions are taken.”
