FUNCTIONAL FRESH AIR FIREPLACES 562-6921 12-1989-First Avenue KAMLOOPS, B.C. (CP) -RCMP Insp. Vic Edwards said his detachment prepared video tape evidence for a drunk driving trial two years ago but it was not allowed in court. Edwards was commenting on a claim by Vernon RCMP that an upcoming trial there will be the first in Canada in which video evidence of a driver’s performance after his arrest will be used. "The same thing was tried here in Kamloops two years ago but it wasn’t successful in court,” he said. The accused must plead guilty In order for video evidence to be allowed, said Edwards, and the accused must also have been advised of the filming and agreed to it. “No drunk would agree to this and then plead guilty,” he said. Edwards said that in the case here two years ago, the accused pleaded not guilty so the video evidence was abandoned. Edwards said the concept of video evidence is a good one. “It gives a very true picture ‘ of a person’s action, but it’s like a wiretap. You have to protect the rights of people, you have to follow the rules.” Vernon RCMP, copying a system used in Snohomish County in Washington state, have marked black lines in the corridor leading to the breath test room at the RCMP building. Drivers perform four basic balance tests in front of the cameras. u Van Conversions Van Inferiors Van Camperizing Van Customizing Van Accessories Wide Range of Materials Available . by the Van Specialists POWER SPORTS LTD.

FOOD SURVEY Chicken, hot dogs among best buys by BEV CHRISTENSEN Citizen Family Editor Chicken will be a featured item on many holiday menus this weekend as prices locally ranged from 69 cents a pound at Safeway to 79 cents a pound in each of the three remaining stores surveyed. Safeway’s low price is for ‘utility’ grade chickens. This lower grade does not indicate a lower quality meat but only that, during processing, the birds were damaged and may have torn skin or a missing segment. If ypu intend to cut the birds up for frying, these defects will not be noticeable. You can also add hot dogs to your shopping list for the long holiday weekend as they were on sale at Safeway and Overwaitea at 85 cents a pound. I f you’re planning to barbecue some steaks you’ll find the best price for T-bone steaks is $2.89 a pound at Overwaitea and Safeway where they also had the best price for regular ground beef for your holiday barbecued hamburgers at 99 .cents a pound. The first of this season’s corn on the cob began appearing in the supermarkets this week and prices ranged from 16.5 cents a cob at Woodward’s to 20 cents a cob at the remaining three stores surveyed. Lettuce prices dropped another lOcentsahead this week and now stand at 79-89 cents a head. As predicted earlier the price of powdered skim milk moved up sharply this week. Old stock was replaced by new stock priced under the new federal dairy policy which came into effect in B.C. May 1. As a result the cost of a five-pound bag of Woodward’s powdered milk will rise from 14.19 to$6.69, a 60 per cent increase. Similar increases are expected in other brands. Potato prices ranged from 53 cents to SI.70 for 10 pounds this week. The lowest price was found at Safeway which offers 15-pound bags of Kennebec potatoes for 79 cents. That works out to 53 cents for 10 pounds. New potatoes are appearing in local supermarkets now with prices ranging from 31 cents a pound at Overwaitea to 33 cents a pound at Woodward’s and 35 cents a pound at Sageway and Super Valu. Lowest total price for the 34 items included in The* Citizen’s weekly food price survey was $41 at Safeway on Victoria Street where a year ago the same groceries cost $37.84, or 8.3 per cent less. Similarly prices at Overwaitea on 15th Ave. were $41.54 this week compared to $38.22 a year ago, an 8.6 per cent increase, prices at Woodward's rose 10.9 per cent from $38.71 to $42.94 and Super Valu’s prices rose from $37.67 to $43.31 or 14.9 per cent.

Gardom said that Vogel purchased shares in Lakex Mines Ltd. in the early 1970s and served as secretary and a director until his resignation on June 30, 1977, following his appointment as deputy attor-neygeneral. Gardom was replying to questions by Don Lockstead (NDP— Mackenzie) who wanted to know if Vogel was involved in any way with Lakex and Coal Harbor Maritime Leasing Ltd. Gardom said an investiga- tion into the sinking was being conducted by the Canadian Pacific Railway police and Vancouver police. The Lady Grace, the former B.C. Ferries vessel Langdale Queen, sank Sunday after being flooded by fresh water pouring in from a shore connection. The vessel was sold last year for $50,000 by the government to Coal Harbor Maritime Leasing Ltd., which intended to convert it into a floating office building and senior citizens’ centre. The company now is bankrupt, and the conversion has never been made. Lakex, which took over the project from Coal Harbor after lending the company $350,000, lost its lease on the mooring space in March.
