Nearly half of the $5,000 raised came from police of- ficers. “He has friends within and outside the force,” said one policeman,

“He did'a great job of, let’s . 8ay, selling the drug squad to the public and of warning the public about the dangers of drugs.”

The jury didn't buy it and Marchessault faces as deep a “black hole” when he comes up form sentencing next month — he could get life in prison.

Most of the Crown witness- es were police officers who testified against their former colleague in professional, de- tached tones, never making eye contact with the accused:

Locals radio s|

By DIANE STRANDBERG ASE Staff Writer ‘ Some local ham radio might. try shi

But-the thrill for those who | ‘aalke didi will be the

receipt ofa QsL card; marked: “Columbia space shuttle.” QSL cards it of two-way contact made

when operators exchange call signs with radio operators in other

orbits over Canada and to is stations on earth.

At about 7 p.m. Hate astronaut Owen Garriott will through

announced it will hold a hearing Mon- day to consider a plea from Canada Post Corp. to declare illegal the unau-

thorized cut in postal rates announced

by the inside postal workers unions.

A board spokesman said the request is “obviously a priority” and must: be ‘dealt with quickly ‘by the tribunal, which adjudicates «disputes betwean|

~ management and labor.

A board ruling probably will be mde! the same day but could be delayed until Tuesday if the feuding sides present lengthy arguments, the spokesman said.

“The way it often works is that when the’ hearing is over’there is a: brief adjournment and then the decision. is announced.”

Canada Post asked the board - late Monday to declare, the union: action illegal and to-order Jean-Claude -Par- rot, president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, to publicly retract an-

the

ized -rate reduction.

Garriott — himself an amateur

“receive messages by. phone contact on the ever hour and ©

morse code on the half hour. Vip

‘As he beams contact through the VHF frequency. 145.65, thousands- of ham radio’ buffs will try to make contact. And Castlegar’s Rudy Martini .will be one of them — if he: can get through.

“He's going to be up there for nine days and if my shifts and everything works out I’m going to. . .” Martini says, “It will be a thrill of a lifetime if I can get -him.”

But as both Canadian and: American ham radio

. operators clog the airwaves in attempt to reach Garriott in space, Martini thinks he ‘might get lost in the shuffle.

He says he's got two books “thicker than the Eatons catalogue used. to be” listing the call signs of red ham radio operators ali over.the world. And one of the books lists just American operators.

“It gives you an idea of how many amateur radio operators there is,” Martini say: ‘

He expects that one station will volunteer to hold a

+ roll call where operators call in by radio to announce their call sign. Their name will be added to a list and they will be contacted when their turn to contact the shuttle comes up.

Says Martini: “Ham radio operators are polite people.”

. Once contact is established with the shuttle, the messages will. be‘ brief. Rudy expects operators will merely exchange call signs with Garriott.

= they ‘were just talking a little about the purpose of their flight and what they were’ doing.” Martini ex- plained.

The six astronauts who make up the largest space crew ‘ever, lifted off Monday from Cape Canaveral in Florida to begin the longest U.S. space shuttle flight.

During 45 orbits of the globe, at 27,358 kilometres an hour, astronauts are to conduct 70 experiments in five science and technology fields ina West German-built space lag.

Garriott, 53, an electrical engineer, will participate in experiments and will operate the ham radio during his free time, says another local ham radio operator Roland Palsson, i Rs

Palsson is one of Castlegar’s five ham radio operators and he says he too is going to listen to the shuttle transmission.

“I'm going to listen and if he is coming in strong enough; I might try, and get in touch with him,” Palsson said. He added later: “It will be a first.”

Rossland radio operator Henry Traue is also planning to. monitor broadcasts from the shuttle.

Traue says he will tune in on his two-metre radio, but he isn't very optimistic that he will be able to get through to the shuttle.

“It. will,be-very difficult,” he says. “There will be thousands trying to ‘get through. _”

Only two: bids were received. The other was for $30,496 from Martech Electrical Systems ‘of Trail. Mayor Audrey Moore said the city will ask the Ministry of Highways to pick: up part of the cost.’

Elsewhere, works and services com- mittee chairman Ald. Carl Henne was quizzed by Ald. Bob Pakula about the

delay in painting a centre line on 18th 8t. $

Pakula said he’s had several in- quiries about when council plans to paint road lines‘on the street.

“We've tried for over a month to get somebody to take the job,” Henne said. He added that city workers can’t paint

; the lines by hand because the lines would be “too uneven.” '

“We might have to wait until spring.”

But Pakula replied that even a crooked line would be better than nothing. .

City works superintendent Igor Zahynacz said the city will try to contact the contractor who painted the lines on the new Safeway parking lot. He said that painter could at least

Mayor Moore ssid most of the increases went to pay for a wage hike for library staff. The three per cent wage increase is the staff's first in two
