Direct buying
upsets growers

OLIVER, B.C. (CP) — The
Okanagan’s $40-million-a-
year fruit industry Is upset
over a move by the Kelly
Douglas-Super-Valu -
organization to buy apples
directly from two Oliver
orchardists, bypassing the
grower-owned marketing
firm. ;

The industry sees the Kelly
Douglas: move as the firat
major threat to the
marketing network and
fears other growera will
return to direct-aelling
methods. . .

The wholesale-retail firm-
s, both part of the giant
Weston food empire, have
bought an estimated 700,000
pounds of apples from the
independents and the apples
now are on sale in Vancouver
stares.

From 1939 until about five
years ago it was compulsory
for all growers in the
Okanagan to sell fresh fruit
through B.C. Tree Fruits
Ltd., a marketing agency set
up ss under provincial
legislation to put a halt to
retailers pitting grower

silent,
case
dismissed

NEW WESTMINSTER,
B,C, (CP) — A charge af
aiding an escape laid against
a penitentiary guard was
dismissed Thursday after
convicted killer Andy Bruce
refused to testify,

Konstantine Pondelicik
was charged with aiding a
1978 attempted escape from
the British Columbia
Penitentiary.

Pondelicik was committed
Thursday for trial on a
charge of perjury in relation
to evidence given at the trial
of two other persons who
were charged and acquitted
in connection with the same
escape attemp!. A ban on
publication of evidence at
the preliminary hearing was
ordered,

Bruce, 30, was brought
here from the Millhaven
Penitentiary In Kingston,
Ont, to testify at Pondelicik's
preliminary hearing.

He refused to rise when
Judge J. K. Shaw entered the
provineial courtroom
refused to be sworn in and
refused to give evidence,

“You had the opportunity
to subpoena me months age
and this would have
prevented my transfer to
Millhaven,'' Bruce told
Crown counsel Mac Norris
during a recess. But you
chose not to do ao."

“] don't like Pondelicik
and I like you even less.”

He was led away in chains
and handcuffs, to be
returned to Millhaven.

Bruce had participated in
three hostage-takings at the
B.C. Fen, including one
which ended in the death of a
prison worker. He was
recently transferred to
Millhaven after being
refused permission to marry
one of women held hostage Ln

The Oliver growers are
Graem Nelson and Ronald
Fournier, both with 6.5-
hectare orchards.

They formed a company
called Black Sage Orchards
which bought apples from
about 75 growers in the
Okanagan — some of them
coming from executive
members of the growers’
association and a few board
members from packing

“We have shipped,

than thr Pere
million pounds of apples ta
Kelly Douglas as well ag
about 36 truck loads of ap-
ples outside of B.C. this
year,” Fournier said,

The apples have beer sold
as orchard run and are
unwashed and unwaxed
unlike apples from Tree
Fruits. Super-Valu has sold

them for as low as 28 cents-a -
pound compared with Tree-

Fruit apples at 40- cenla-a
pound sold by competitors.

* An official of B.C. Tree

Fruits said Thursday that
the value of the apples is
more than $300,000,

"We can't really blame
Kelly Dougias although it is
disconcerting when one
considers that Safeway and
Woodward's bath support the

said Arnold Pedersen,
president of B.C. Tree
Fruits.

“Really, it ia an in-house
industry problem and one
that we just can't seem to

unable to convince the few
independents thdt the
structure is the best for ev-

the pre-war days it would be
havoc for all growera,”’

George Fraser of Osoyoos,
president of the growers’
association, aaid the present
industry makeup ensures
price stability -but is
providing an umbrella for
the independents.

"We have asked the
packing houses to cancel
contracts with these people
and are still waiting for their
decision,” he said.

Dam project |
a surprise

VICTORIA (CP) — British
Columbla Hydro's decision
to go ahead with Its Peace
River Site C dam project
come was a surprise to the
provincial government,
Environment Minister Rafe
Mair said Thureday.

Mair also said in an in-
terview he is concerned that
the Crown utility made its
announcement when the
government ia planning to
change its dam site approval
proceas,

Hydro announced this.
week it is applying for a
water licence to build a 975-
megawatt dam on the Peace
River, seven kilometres
southwest of Fort St. John.

“I'm a litte concerned
that Hydro mate the an-
nouncement that they did in
the way they did,” said Mair.
“And I'm quite surprised.”

Under the current Water
Act there is no statutory
requirement to hold the
hearings in public. The
decision is left to Howard
DeBeck, provincial water
rights controller,

Meanwhile, at least 41
familles comprising 157
people .would have to
relocate their homes if the
dam is built, says Thurber
Consultants Ltd., of Victoria,

ina report prepared for B.C.
Hydro.
In the past, forced

relocation has proved to be
"g stressful and disruptive
experience for most in-
dividuale’’ while creating
“apprehension and a sense
of powerlessness among
them,'’ says the report,

Thurber also says
thousands of hectares of
farmland and. wildlife
habltat and 64 historical
sites, would be flooded if the
project goes ahead, ;
“However, it would create
thousands of conatruction
jobs and hundreds of related
service jobs and inject about
$70 million into the local

_é@conomy, says the report.

The dam wouldcreate a
reservoir covering 9,440
hectares and stretch about 80
kilometres along the valley
floor, The flooded land would
contain about 2,520 hectares
of prime farmland or 17 per
cent of the farmland in the
Lower Peace River Valley.
More than half, however, is
not yet cultivated.

_The potentlal agriculture
prodiction lo&t at Site C
would range from $1 million
to $7.6 million, but enough
good agricultural land would
be left to meet the demand
for vegetables in northern
B.C., the report says.

However, the report says
flooding would result in per-
manent logs of much wildlife
habitat, ‘meaning 125 to 250.
mooge would leave the area
alégg'withgs0 mule deer, 15
to 20-bedvéel-colonies and 400
to 800 aquirrels be lost.

The 44 sites known for his-
taric or archeological in-
terest that would be flooded
include fur trading posts
Rocky Mountain Fort and
Rocky Mountain Portage
House and some prehistoric
sites.

The relocation of Highway
29 and construction at the
damsite would disturb
another 23 sites during the
eight years the project and
transmission Iines are under
construction.

However, the report says

attraction and the dam will

TORONTO (CP) --
Hookers’ Hotline, a contact
service for prostitutes which
offers immediate legal hel
to women charged with
soliciting, has suffered
because of a negative public
attitude, organizers say.
Two non-profit groups which
run the hotline say the
service is not receiving as
many calls as it should
because there have been
problems reaching the
women who need it.
