Earlier, Dutch ‘authorities . had denied him entry to Holland after McCarthy, accompanied by Canadian officials, refused to board an Amsterdam-Dublin flight on the last leg of his deportation trip. Dutch authorities said they had no jurisdiction to force him onto the Dublin plane. “We're making — arrangements to try again to fly him to Dublin,’’ said Rene Pappone, an immigration spokesman in Ottawa, ad- ding that “there are direct, flights to Dublin we can put him on." Carthy would not likely be moved from the jail before today, he added. VIOLATED VISA Authorities say a man named Patrick McCarthy is wanted in Dublin for a hold- up there last year, though McCarthy says Canadian authoritles have the wrong man. While Lrish authorities have made no request for his extradition, he is being de- ported for violating his visitor’s status by taking a job. ; McCarthy, an Irish citizen, Crowsnest Derailment CRANBROOK, B,C. CPTen cars of a CP Rail freight train derailed Sunday in a campsile area, just east of the British Columbia Alberta border in the Crowsnest Pass.The cars left the tracks in an area where there were a number of people holidaying’ or on picnics, but no injuries were reported. The freight train wag west-bound when the ten ~ cars derailed, [t was not known what cargo the cars were carrying, Deport! has been a thorn in the side of the immigration depart- ment since last March when he was arrested in Van- couver on a jaywalking charge. Last week in Van- couver it took three tries to finally fly him out of the country. Told in March he would be deported for holding a job without proper immigrant status, he hired a lawyer and has spent most of the time In a Vancouver jail fighting the | deportation order before federal court. KEPT IN JAIL Pappone said he was kept in jail because ‘'we felt he might. not appear for the deportation hearings otherwise." He lost these appeals after numerous court ap- pearances and was ordered deported May 19. After several delays, he was put on a Vancouver-TorontoDublin flight last Tuesday, but was taken off at the last minute when immigration officials in Ottawa asked for a delay on a legal question. With that cleared up later the same day, McCarthy was putona CP Air flight, but th- warted his deportation and was taken back to jail after shouting, cursing’ and refusing to be shackled to his seal. The next day, he agreed to go peacefully on the flight from Vancouver, officials said, . Terry Finnie (right), the Saturday, 2:00-5:00 p.m. a Kitimat, Terrace, Ruperi Pian Area Tourist Brochure Reprinted from the Prince Rupert Daily News Representatives of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District presented a proposal Thursday night for an area tourist brochure calling for the co-operation ‘of the communities of Prince Rupert, Terrace and Kitimat. The proposal, explained by John Poucette and Craig Campbell of Kitimat-Stikine, was presented toa gathering of about 15, representing regional and local tourist organizations, the councils of each of the three cities, and the Regional Districts. Advising the communities to rid themselves of parochialism, Campbell, Director of Planning Ser- vices for Kitimat-Stikine and the one responsible for much of the work on the proposai; went on to say that each city must ‘associate. with its neighbor, develop ideas that are mutually acceptable and then sell them lo the provincial government.” Campbell told those present that the origins of the proposal were to be found in a co-operative effort between Kitimat and Terrace, sponsored by the Regional District, which preduced a brochure for use in marketing: the area to industry. When the region, supported by the councils of Terrace and Kitimat, presented their ideas for a similar publication on 4 tourism basis to Larry Provost, Co-ordinator of B.C, Tourist Region "G", it became apparent that a brochure promoting all of the northwest and including Prince Rupert and the Queen Charlotte Islands would be foie a BR then, i oe g pet esetebate der Salmon-Fishi Provost pointed out that in such a case, provincial, funding would be more likely. He also noted that the northwest is truly an in-— terdependent tourist area and should be treated as such : Campbell last distributed some extracts from a northwest economic report compiled by the province in 1877 which demonstrated that although “Yellowhead 16 Region’ produced tourist ¢x- penditures of $90 million in 1976 (increased to $95 million in 1977, according to -Pravost), the region is ‘still, . basically a stop en route for most non-B.C. residents, who stay only 1.7 nights on the average.” It is the thinking of the supporter, of this tri- city brochure that such a promotion would make tourists aware of all that is available in the area and encourage them to stay . longer. Reed Clarke, Industrial ’ Development Co-ordinator for the © Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District, expressed an interest in the project but suggested that he get together with Campbell to examine the subject | further and come up with some sort of cost indication. The Kitimat-Stikine Regional District had_ prepared a budget calling for an initial expenditure of. $60,000 for a press run of 16,000 copies, but this was’ based on a brochure for the Kitimat - Terrace corridor - only. . : Clarke also cautioned against assuming an en- thusiastic response from the Queen Charlottes, whoe residents, he . said, aye. concerned about iff-. night : g Strike discriminate and un- controlled development of what Jack Anderson, a . Visitors’ Bureau: Director, referred to as “the last unspoiled bit of British Columbia." . BROCHURE LIKE POSTER The proposed brochure would be, unfolded, about 20" by 30" a size suitable for hanging as a poster, it was pointed cut. One side of the brochure would display an ‘area map with photoskeyedi n to specific areas of in- terest. On the reverse, in- . formation would be given on the individual communities, including a 1.25 ratio. street map and photos and captions about special places of in- terest. Provost and Prince Rupert Visitors' Bureau Chairman -Hugh Charbonneau eéx- ‘pressed their real faith in the -project, both saying that it was the finest proposal of the sort that they had seen. Alderman Earl Mah was also interested in the brochure and felt sure that city council would join its counterparts in Terrace and. - Kitimat in supporting the plan. The two Regional Districts will continte to jointly . examine the project and a meeting has been proposed for the near future which will hopefully include a representative of the Queen Charlotte Islands. “Tourism generated $6 milllon worth of business last year in Prince Rupert alone,” commented Visitors’ Bureau Co-ordinator Eileen Burford, summing up the feeling of many of those at last night's meeting. “We have to realize that the tourist industry is big paca . _ 30-Minutes Before The Deadline .
