pigs on the way

VANCOUVER (CP) — Animal lovers in British Columbia will soon be able 1o Own an animal that hogs atten- tion and hams it up.

At least one pet store in Greater Vancouver is taking orders for pur- chase of Vietnamese pot belly pigs.

The pigs are being bred by the Hatch family in suburban Langley and the first litter for the B.C. market is expec ted in late November or early Decem- ber

The pot belly pigs are of the miniature variety and come with a $1,000 to $3,000 price-tag.

One store owner, Marjorie MacKay, says she expects the steep price won't deter people from buying them.

“People who want a pet that is unique without being exotic will love these pigs,” said Mackay. ‘They're small, carry no odor, are clean, easy to care for, affectionate and smart. They can be housebroken and will eat anything, from dog food to fruit."

Why make more when all you need is right at your feet?

That's the question Al Rorison must have posed to himself when he set out-to design a new system of repaving roads in B.C

The Kamloops resident put together a unique method of strip ping the existing asphalt from the road, reheating it and applying it back to the same strip of highway

Byelection called

100 MILE HOUSE

B.C. (CP) — Voters in the sprawling riding of Cariboo will go to the polls on Sept. 20 in a byelection to name a successor to the late Alex Fraser, premier Bill Van- der Zalm said today.

Bill Vander Zalm, flanked by Social Credit candidate Joe Wark at a down. town hotel, called the byelection shor. tly after announcing that 100 Mile House will be home to a new $60- million wood-products plant

Fraser, a tongtime Socred member who trounced his opponents in every election since he was first elected in 1969, died of throat cancer May 9 in his home town of Quesnel.

The former highways minister was later banished to the backbench by Vander Zalm. The lingering image of Fraser is his no-hold-barred attacks on Vander Zalm’s highway maintenance privatization program

The Cariboo is a sprawling riding of ranchers and timber mills in the B.C Interior

The byelection is considered a crucial test for Vander Zalm, whose government has lost all four byelec- tions called since the 1986 general elec tion

If he loses this byelection, he must face the Socred convention in October with a dismal track record and deal with a caucus that has made no secret it considers him a liability will not power in the

AIDS video to be shown, NDP says

VICTORIA (CP) — The provincial government’s controversial AIDS prevention video will be shown in four Vancouver independent movie theatres later this week, NDP health critic Dr. Tom Perry said Tuesday

The $100,000 production, featuring rock singer Colin James, is aimed at warning sexually active teenagers about acquired immune deficiency syndrome

The video was shelved by the Health Ministry after Premier Bill Vander Zalm described it as an advertisement for condoms. The government holds the copyright

Perry, the NDP member for Van couver-Point Grey who acquired a copy of the one-minute video, said the video should not be shelved because of the premier’s moral beliefs.

He has given the video to Festival bilms, a Canadian film distribution company, torrelease later this week

“The government, for purely ar bitrary reasons, has censored this film

in the most repugnant possible way and it’s about time British Columbians started getting some value for the $100,000 they spent on this film,’* said Perry

“I feel this film belongs to the people of B.C., in particular it belongs to the young people of B.C., and it’s time to get it out in the theatres.”

Leonard Schein, vice-president of Festival Films, said the video would be aired in Vancouver on Thursday or Friday. He said he hoped other in. dependent theatres across the province will show the film soon afterwards.

He is aware that the government holds the copyright and is prepared to fight the issu said Schein

I think the

lawyers their clients are being judged guilty before they ever get their day in court

In everything from drug trafficking torape and child abuse, new legislation from Ottawa presumes the accused to be guilty and makes it tougher to mount a defence, a trio of eminent lawyers complained at the annual con. vention of the Canadian Bar Association.

Much of the attack acerbic _ interventions moderator Jack Webster, the onetime Oatmeal Savage of B.C. open-line radio — centred on federal law passed last year allowing police and prosecutors to seize money and property from suspected drug traf fickers and organized crime figures as soonas they are charged

If they are eventually acquitted, the goods are returned. But the bar has long objected that pre-trail seizure violates the rights of the accused — as well as stripping defendants of money they might otherwise use to pay their lawyers.

“Asa lawyer, they can seize my trust fund,’ complained Glen Orris, a high profile criminal lawyer from Van “There is no presumption of innocence. There is a presumption of guilt.”

Brian Greenspan of Toronto, who defended the Canadian branch of a Panamanian bank accused of laun dering drug profits, said the threat of seizure puts enormous pressure on ac cused persons or companies to plead guilty

The road and bridge project has been in dispute for some time with the Indians and the Vallican Archaeological Park Society, which oversees the provincially recognized archaeological site, asking for construction on the northern section of road to be delayed until a route can. be found away from the burial site

Many area residents, however, have called for the project to go ahead quickly to replace the current bridge with a newer, safer one over the Little Slocan River to link Vallican with Passmore

Barry Eastman, Kootenay regional manager with the Ministry of Highways, has said the road and bridge must be completed together, rather than as sections, because of the way the funding is allocated

If the project is delayed by discussions over new routes for the northern section of road the funding may not be in the budget next year, he has said.

Panama, which eventually guilty and paid a $ Atlanta.

Some $1.2 million of that fine will go to Canada, where prosecutors had originally frozen nearly $16 million in the bank's Toronto branch.

Harry Rankin, a longtime maverick in the Vancouver tegal community, Communist member of city and former mayoralty candidate, suggested the emphasis on organized crime figures is hypocritcal

“Corporations pay for their lawyers out of the proceeds of crime every day,” said Rankin. “‘Why get so moralistic about the drug trafficker?”

The complaints were summarily rejected by a pair of panelists — Van. couver police chief Bob Stewart and former B.C. attorney general Brian Smith. Both pointed out that accused people can appeal to the courts to have the freeze orders rescinded

And there are provisions for courts to pay legitimate expenses to defence lawyers out of frozen funds.

Matthew Pavone, head of a U.S federal drug task force in San Fra cisco, said the American experien shows there would be no hope of seizing ill-gotten gains if prosecutors had to wait for conviction

“These proceeds are not likely to be around after several months of pre trial proceedings,” he said

Orris, who was among the defence lawyers for the Squamish Five on charges of terrorist bombings of a Lit ton Industries defence plant and B.C Hydro facilities, suggested the problem of presumed guilt extends far beyond politically sensitive cases.
