“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

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.
