4 “Court > reserves decision OTTAWA (CP) — The Su- preme Court of Canada re- served judgment Tuesday in the multi-million-dollar damage suit filed against the federal government by the Musqueam Indian band over alleged mishandling of prime reserve land in Vancouver. The 450-member band now must await the final ruling in what has become an eight- year legal effort to prove the federal government is guilty of breach of trust in leasing €5 hectares, of land to the Shaughnessy Heights Golf Club in January, 1958. Band Lawyer Marvin Stor- row argued that the govern- ment negotiated a 75-year lease with the club that has cost the band millions in lost revenue, and that it violated conditions imposed by the band when members voted in MOROSO, CASTLEGAR NEWS, June 15, 1983 Tclephone 365-5210 New Insertions, cop changes and: Ma cancellations for the Castlegar News Business Directory will be Mseted up to 5 p.m., June 29 for ‘the month of July. : Brian L.

Nor is there a legal trustee responsibility implied by the band's 1957 vote to surrender the land “in trust” to the government to lease it under terms it “may deem most conducive to our welfare and that of our people,” he said. The Musqueam issue is considered a test case that could decide federal respon- sibility for thousands of leases the government has negotiated on reserve land and hundreds of’ millions’ of dollars it manages ‘in trust accounts on behalf of the country’s $25,000 Indians, Storrow told the court Mon- day.

The day the bridge fell Editor's Note: On a hot, sunay summer afternoon 25 years ago, just 20 minutes before the end of the shift, the new Second Narrows bridge collapsed midway through construction. There were 79 men on the bridge. that afternoon of June 17, 1958 — 25 painters, 52 ironworkers and two engineers. Eighteen died, 41 escaped injury, and 20 were injured. This is the story of one of those who was injured but escaped with his life — Castlegar’s Colin Glendinning. By LINDA HALL , “There was no warning. We were standing there up got rid of my hammer. I got rid of my belt. And when I hit the water it tore a strap right off my lifejacket. My. life was saved because of my lifejacket.” Glendinning has the jacket to this day, a reminder of what could have been. Hanging onto that Piling, he saw bodies and parts of bodies floating by him in a gruesome parade. “I didn't know who was alive. -and.who was dead. | Three or four fellows I was just working’ ‘with floated past me. I looked up and a fellow was hanging ona girder and half of his leg was gone. He was yelling and yelling. I told “him to take off his belt and tie it around his leg real tight.” on the bridge, the four of us, just talking, p .was just swinging about halfway down when the bridge collapsed. “It's hard to describe what you think at that moment. remember I fell back and then decided to dive. And it’s funny, about halfway down I'm thinking, ‘Oh my God fora parachute’. That's what I thought, if I only had a parachute.” Looking down he saw ‘another problem. Two cables from the old piers were strung on top of the water. If he hit them he'd. be instantly aplit in half. “I had brought -up the subject of those cables at a safety meeting,” he states, “but nothing was done.” But Photos, page B3 decided to stay right where he was, reasoning that if he were to try to swim free he would surely drown in the treacherous i8-knot riptide. Finally, he was taken to shore by a small oarless rowboat, his rescuer. paddling the boat. with his hands. The Second Narrows was going to be one of the largest bridges in western Canada, a monument to human engineering and. design. Residents followed its progress daily. The workers themselves, were proud of it. But then 20 minutes before quitting time on a sunny Tuesday afternoon 26 years years ago Friday, the monument fell. - The Second Narrows bridge plunged into Burrard Inlet and Glendinning was one of the iron workers injured in the worst tragedy i in Vancouver's history. The. morning of the disaster started out like any ‘other morning. Glendinning rode to ‘work with friend and luck was with him. The bridge hit the cables before he did, forcing them far under water. Glendinning fell from his post 62 metres (1'75 feet) into the murky waters with their dangerous and uncertain tides. For 40 minutes he clung to a piling, held up only by his lifejacket. “I went down and started to drink water, and that salt water's not very good.” Strapped around him were his ironworker's belt with his various wrenches and a 5'/-kilogram (12-pound) sledge hammer. “They were all on me when I went into the water. I ‘ker, Stan Gartley. “It was the hottest year on record!” ‘And the workers were actually looking forward to getting up on the bridge where the air was cooler. They were looking forward to escaping for a time the noise, heat, and traffic of Vancouver. Throughout the day they would hear only the heavy sounds of girders and trusses being moved, the sound of the locomotive making its trips carrying supplies from the shore to the parlote stations on the bridge. And, of course, they'd hear the constant screech of the gulls.
