CasNews Photo by Ryan Wilson STUDENTS TAKE OVER COUNCIL By SURJ RATTAN Staff Writer A special meeting,of a special Castlegar council was held Thursday afternoon which had some veteran politicians reflecting on the way they conduct city business. The council was made ap of seven Stanley Humphries secondary school students who acted as Castlegar’s thayor and aldermen for a day — all part of Municipal Awareness Week. They discussed issues such as a no-smoking bylaw for Castlegar and a referendum for a new swimming pool two issues currently before Mayor Audrey Moore's council. Among thoée sitting in the public gallery were Moore, Ald. Len Embree and Ald. Albert Calderbank. After the mock council meeting Moore complimented the student politicians for the way they debated the issues. = “I would like to commend you on your excellent level of debate. It has been a learning experience for all of us on council watching you,” Moore told the group. Speaking to the Castlegar News afterwards, Moore, said the mock council understood the issues and that) “obviously they've done a lot of work in preparing for this session.” “T will be looking forward to receiving the minutes of their meeting and I think it was excellent input and a great lesson for we council members that were sitting here in the audience,” said Moore. Embree said he was “extremely impressed” with the students’ awareness of the issues and their understand. ing of municipal politics. in that assumption,” on it.

This exercise has proven to me to be incorrect Embree told the Castlegar News. “There's a lot of people, especially the age of the people involved is really encouraging.” The mock council meeting was to start at 2 p.m. but was held up. a few minutes as one of the student aldermen, Jennefer Rezansoff, arrived late.

Central American refugee. who resided temporarily in Castlegar, has a temporary working visa and a job. Escamilla has been granted a short- term working visa and has found summer employment planting trees in Prince George. Castlegar resident Jack Dillon, who has become Escamilla’s friend, said Es- camilla was pleased to find work and glad not to have to turn to the federal welfare system. Dillon also said Escamilla managed to land the job on his own. Dillan said Escamilla travelled to Vancouver last month to his second immigration hearing. He was given a previous hearing in Cranbrook. Dillon said he did not know when they expected to hear the final decision from immigration authorities regard- ing landed immigrant status for Escamilla, but said it may be a year's wait. Escamilla, 28, of Zaragoza, El Sal- vador, originally arrived in Castlegar Feb. 21 after accepting a ride with Jim Lamont, 56, an independent contractor who resides temporarily in Castlegar. SHSS band captures gold medal By CasNews Staff The Stanley Humphries secondary sehool concert band captured a gold medal this week at Music Fest Canada in Ontario. The SHSS band was the first high school band in B.C. to win a gold medal at the music festival in Ottawa, which attracted more than 4,500 student musicians from across Canada. The band is scheduled to arrive in Castlegar tomorrow morning at 6:30. A welcoming committee has been organ- ized including Mayor Audrey Moore and many parents, relatives, friends and supporters. The committee will meet at the Ministry of Highways weigh scales on Highway 8 about 6 a.m. and then form a procession into town. MARIO ESCAMILLA . planting trees Lamont found Escamilla on Highway 3 abéut seven kilometres east of Christina Lake. The night before, Es. camilla had slipped across the Canada/. U.S. border and was heading to Nelson. He was dressed in only running shoes and a light jacket and he was wearing a tam on his head, part of the attire of many men in Central America. It took Eseamilla approximately 1'2 years to arrive here after crossing three countries and thousands of kilometres, pursued by authorities, imprisoned and deported twice, until he finally managed to reach Canada. Escamilla left El Salvador because he feared mandatory military service in the war-torn country. Escamilla said young men were grabbed from their , omes and forced to battle guerrillas. ) Escamilla estimates that he would only remain alive two weeks if he were returned to his country. Two members of Escamilla’s family, a brother and a sister, are already missing, though his brother may be in Mexico. While in Castlegar, Escamilla received news that a third family member, his 14-year-old sister, now is also missing. The sister may have been shopping when she disappeared. In Ottawa this week, the govern. ment is proposing a new bill which aims to streamline the process of deciding whether someone is a refugee. The bill could mean that many people who claim to be refugees will no longer get a hearing in Canada. But junior immigration minister Gerry Weiner is quoted as saying that everyone will-get a chance to make their case and Canada will continue to be a safe haven for refugees. ba said the bill is aimed at those who claim refugee status to get around normal immigration procedures. They will be sent home and told to reapply as immigrants. Opposition MPs argue the legislation will encourage other countries to follow Canada’s lead and restrict access to those who can claim refugee status. According to the bill, those who are denied access by a two-member panel of the refugee board can appeal to the Federal Court of Canada. Opposition MPs argue that the Federal Court of Canada only hears appeals on points of law and does not have a mandate to hear why someone feels he or she is a refugee. Also, the court only grants two to five per cent of requests to hear appeals. Refugee-aid groups estimate that up to 80 per cent of those claiming to be refugees will be turned back at the border. 26 in Vancouver ‘hos was looking for work in ‘ahout'a week before he died “Eatlier.
