(CP) — RCMP here say a 6%-ton cargo of hashish seized aboard 4 75-foot schooner Saturday has an estimated street value of at least $14 million, making it the largest drug haul ever in Canada RCMP had said Saturday a conservative estimate of the drugs’ value would be $5 million, but further examination and testing of pamples revealed the cargo to be high-quality Co- lumbian hashish in the form of hashish oil, liquid hashish, hashish balls and , straight hashish. "We feel at this point it is worth a minimum of $14 million," Sgt. Bill Smith, who is in charge of the in- vestigation, said Sunday. “Jt is a very good quality hash and on the street it would go for $600 a pound at least. That price makes it definitely the largest seizure in Canadain any way, shape or form.” The drugs were taken at dawn Saturday when RCM- P, tipped off by a fisherman who had spotted suspicious activity, boarded the # ottish-registered DRUNKS BLOW ONCE suspected of drunken driving do not have to give police more than one useable sample-for breath analysis, a County Court judge in this Vancouver area city has ruled. > Judge L- M:' McDonald granted the appeal of orman William Wallace of nearby Burnaby, who had been convicted of refusing ta give a second breath sample. The judge said Wallace "had given one sample and, if more than that result was - required, the Crown should have brought in an analysis technician. . John Motiuk, counsel for Wallace, said that since new amendments were made to the Criminal Code last April, police have made a practice of getting two samples within a fixed time period. With the two results, tech” ticians are not required to appear in court to corroborate police analysis eviderice, he said, adding that there may be some administrative difficulties as a result of the one sample decision, Ecological demands ignored EDMONTON (CP) — The costs of damage to wildlife habitat should be assessed io resource developers, a University of Calgary botany professor told the Canadian Wildlife Federation annual meeting Saturday. Richard Pharis, speakirig in a panel discussion on resource development and environmental protection, said that in the past, costs of environmental damage have not always been aageased to developers. Recreation developments, dams, coal mining and forestry operations all have an effect on wildlife habitat, he said. Regulations will not be en- forced unless “people and organizations stand up and scream until politicians do something.” Don Lougheed, an Im- perial Oil Ltd. senior vice- president and brother of Alberta Premier Peter Lougheed, said there is no choice but to accept some environmental disturbance alon with resource developracit, Every project would have to he caret rly examined for its en- vironmental impact. scnooner Dalia and arrested - the one man aboard her. The previous evening they had arrested another man in a cabin on shore nearby. Later Saturday morning, two other men were arrested on shore. The four men, all in their 20s, sub- mitted to arrest without resistance. A jeep and a truck equipped wih a camper top were seized on shore. Like the vessels involved in two previous major drug arrests in Atlantic Canada in 1974, the Delia was sail- powered, as opposed to the fast power boats favored by rum runners who used the isolated coves of the Nova Scotia shore in the 1930s. Smith said drug runners use sail-powered boats because they can make long voyages without sacrificing space for the fuel a power boat would require. He said the Delia's voyage origi- nated somewhere’ in Columbia, but RCMP have not yet determined where. The Delia's painted water line had been moved up by six inches to make it appear that it was not riding suspiciously low in the water, he said. RCMP have a picture of the yacht as it appeared when it was new, showing it equipped with wood panelling, bunks, baths and other furnishings. But, when seized, its interior had been stripped to bare essentials to make room for the cargo, leaving only enough space for the crew to sleep. On shore, the interior of the truck’s camper back also had been stripped bare to rovide cargo space while ooking from the outside like an ordinary camper, The truck would have been able to take only a fraction of the cargo in one load, since it took three large truckloads for RCMP to haul it away, Smith said. RCMP belleve the smug- glers planned to stash the ulk of the cargo somewhere in the region's many isolated coves or islands. Three of the men in custody are Americans and RCMP were checking on the nationality of the fourth. - They are to appear in provincial court at nearby Bridgewater, N.S. Tuesday evening. The ship remained in Chester Sunday but RCMP hauled the drugs to Halifax. Tt was not known Sunday . who owned the ship or whether the owner was among those arrested. Cpl. Peter Williamson of the Chester detachment said the operation auecceeded because of the co-operation af local residents. Because of the long history of liquor and drug smuggling along the coast in this area, 45 miles southwest of Halifax, police encourage loc”i residents, particularly fishermen, to report any sightings of strange vessels. The Delia was first sighted Wednesday but left the area before police, acting on a tip from a local fisherman, set up sur- veillance, She wants her man so she won't quit MIAMI, Fla. (AP) — Mer- cedes Brenner has been ar- rested 58 times in her at- tempts to tell Rolando Duvallon how much she ‘loves him. , Mrs. Brenner, a 47-year- old widow, says she wants to — marry Duvalion. But the 53- year-old widower says he doesn't love her. “She won't leave me alone; I have to keep my doors locked,”' says Duvalion. Mrs. Brenner, a trim, attractive widow, is in jail because she defied a judge’s order to keep away from the handsome Duvallon, a social work supervisor. Both of them decline to discuss their relationship. But because it has taken them into court repeatedly, several other people will talk. “She has been to the office building at least 30 times,’’ says a secretary at Duvallon’s office. ‘She starts talking about love and everything like that.” When he sees her coming, Duvallon hides. Sometimes he calls police. “She has a trousseau and a white gown in her home,” says Ted Mastos, an assistant state attorney. “This lady is torturing this man. Never has there been a saga like this in the history of the Dade (Miami) criminal system.” “You are not supposed to use the criminal justice system to resolve personal problems," counters Dennis Urbano, a public defender. “It is. not illegal to love somebody.” Duvallon and Mrs. Brenner met six years ago through the Jehovah’s Witnesses, Both are members of that religious sect, , At one time they dated. Mrs. Brenner says he promised to marry her. Her mother once had her committed for psychiatric evaluation. ‘They found her competent,” Urbano says, “They had to turn her loose.”” Now she’s in jail because - of what happened after a recent fire at Duvallon’s apartment. When he moved out, Mrs. Brenner found an old trunk in the rubbish. She took some photographs from the trunk, mounted them in an album with lines from the bible, and sent the album to Duvallon, Authorities called it burglary. She pleaded not guilty and a judge set bond at $10,000 but said he’d waive it if she stayed away from Duvallon. She went to see him anyway, and last week Circuit Court Judge Wilkie Ferguson revoked the bond. She couldn't meet the bond so she went to jail. _ CE ke Le & WORLE PReMie ae? MISS IT!
