out but haven't decided if
they'll file yet.

“I have political exper-
ience,” said Hawes, who
fell short in her mayoral
bid to unseat Jack Talstra
last fall. “I have intense
experience with the B.C,
Liberal parly and their phi-
losophies.”

“And it doesn't frighten
me .to go toe-to-toe with
Gord (Campbell) and dis-
cuss issues with him and

we've done that very well .

éerners understand our

Accused killer
to stand trial

A ROSSWOOD man has been ordered to stand trial for
the murder last fall of an Alberta man at a mushroom
picking camp east of here,

The decision came late last week at the end of a pre-
liminary hearing for Paul Bernard Wadsworth. A trial
date has yet to be set.

Wadsworth stands accused of allegedly shooting, kill-
ing and burning the remains of Donald Mervin Pears, an
Alberta mushroom picker on Sept. 27.

The shooting happened after dark in the woods north
of Ritchies Landing, 60 kilometres east of Terrace,
where Wadsworth had set up a small gold mine settle-
ment, consisting of three cabins, outhouses and storage
shed.

RCMP launched an extensive manhunt of the area, at
times limiting railway and highway traffic, until Wads-
worth turned himself in around 4 p.m. Sept.28,. He has
been in custody ever since.

NDP MLA Helmut Gies-

brecht, Hawes said, she
has been duing that work
informally.

Hawes said she brought
up Liberal environment
critic Christy Clark when
the area needed to battle
against huge fishing fe
increases, brought several
Liberal MLAs to the area
to hear local: health con-
cerns, and three “times
brought Liberal forestry

critic Ted Nebbeling here
to press the northwest’s
forestry issues.

“I’ve been involved in
making sure our riding is
on the map and at the
forefront of their minds for
the last four years,” she
said.

Curtis said he hasn’t yet
decided whether he'll run.

“I do have papers and
i'm seriously contempla-
ting it,” he said last week,

All candidates who file
papers have to pass the
parly’s elaborate process
for approving candidates.

Curtis says the nomina-
tion meeting has been set
for Saturday May 27.

That means the fast day
for prospective candidates
to be fully vetted and ap-
proved by the party is
April 28.

The timing also means
April 14 is the last day for

the signup of new party
members who can vote at
the nomination meeting.

Given the high level of
B.C. Liberal support and
the lack of NDP support in
provincial polls, many ob-
servers expect securing a
Liberal nomination will, in
many ridings, translate
into a relatively easy elec-
tion win and a virtually
guaranteed licket to Vic-
toria.
