CASTLEGAR NEWS, October 24, 1979 Conclusion of a special two-part feature Marvin versus Marvin: enormous, world-wide coverage Continued from Cl Not only are couples be- wildered about thelr status, so are lawyers, They are frantically researching the law to determine what Mar- vin vs. Marvin will mean, It is important to under- stand that the decision of Log Angeles Superior Court Judge Arthur K. Marshall to grant my client, Michelle Triola Marvin, $104,000 to rehabilitate herself is only his version of fair judgement in this particular trial, Each judge and each jury must reach its own conclusions, guided by the broad decision handed down by the Cal- ifornia Supreme Court. The Supreme Court op- ened the courthouse doors to the unmarried, and Los An- geles Superior Court Judge Marshall extended that con- cept to include the precedent of equitable remedy. The Marvin case has put pervasive power into the hands of trial judges to reach a fair decision when a live-in relationship breaks up. The judge, because of Footnote , 25, can ignore the question of contracts entirely and reach a decision on the basis of equitable remedy alone. The trial was also sig- nificant — due to the star quality of Lee Marvin to some extent — because the couples who are living to- . gether now know about these new rights. When Judge Marshall granted Michelle Triola $1,000 a week for two years to rehabilitate herself, it was really a form of alimony. It was the first time such an award had been made to an unmarried woman. Marvin vs. Marvin does not shake the California Supreme Court decision granting the right to trial in live-in cases. And while Judge Marshall did not find that an oral or implied con- tract existed between Mich- elle and Lee, that does not preclude another judge or Feeling tlred? Rundown? Take a walk, Cereal Wath a Roekstintay, another jury from deciding in favor of such contracts in other cases, Law Keeps Pace With New Social Mores Case law leading up to the Marvin ruling always turned upon the problem of a “meretricious" relationship. A woman’ who knowingly lived with a man without marriage was considered to be “living in sin” and there- fore entitled to nothing if the relationship broke up. The fact that the man was also living in sin was simply ignored. One of the arguments in favor of denying justice to an unmarried woman in such cases was that it would dis- courage women from such easy liaisons. But,’ another judge declared, “If the pur- pose of the doctrine was to discourage cohabitation with- out marriage, it certainly has not done so in practice, us the census figures plainly re- veal.” The courts punished wo- men who were “living in sin" by doing nothing to help them. Over and over again, the Marvin decision shredded previous sex discrimination arguments, arriving finally at the position that to‘ensure equal protection the law's fair treatment is demanded, and in doing so the “mer- etricious” ghost had been at long last exorcised. “Efforts to impose a par- ticular moral code have been rejected, especially when there is a significant diver- gence of opinion among mem: bers of the public, as well as the courts, as to’ what con-' stitutes ‘moral’ behavior. Fornication has not. been a crime in California, and adul- try is no longer a crime. “Under the circumstanc- es, therefore, it is difficult to find a compelling state inter- est in the maintenance of ‘morality’ which will justify deprivation of rights,” it con- eluded.

The law, as all lawyers know, is a living thing, Thus was "meretricious”, growing as society changes and grows. The Marvin decision in effect declared that if two people live together, one cannot easily walk away with evolving, changing, all the accumulated property if they split up. Marshall's ruling in the Mur- vin trial has not changed that decision, tice cannot deny fair treat- ment to half the people in this class of unmarried couples, numbering in the millions.

Castlegar played give away hockey particularly in the’ third period when leading by a - goal, the Rebels played every man insidé Nelson's blue line, allowing a fast break that forced the match into over- time. % : The Rebels demonstrat- ed a lack of puck control throughout the game that eventually cost them the win when Nelson scored with only a few seconds remaining in overtime, to win 6-5. “That loss was probably a result of a coaching blund- er," admitted Rebel coach Ed Wyatt. “I got caught up in the game, and it looked like we wanted another goal in the third period, when we should have just controlled the puck. I should have told the team to just freeze the puck in Nelson's end.” Friday night saw the Rebels reduce ‘their goals against margin considerably while notching six goals themselves. Rossland opened the scoring at 8:02 of the first period with John MacMaster connecting from Mike Oliver and Dale Bailey. { Less than a minute later Castlegar’s Doug Knowler popped one in from Bruno Tassone and Tim Krug. Greg Moroso picked up the Rebels second goal, and they led 2-1 going into the second period. Rossland again opened the scoring as David Es- penhain tied it for the Warriors, who were to be denied any further. scoring for the rest of the match. - Castlegar's third goal was on the power play at 18:24 in the ‘second period as Ken Sher- stobitoff was set up nicely from Greg Moroso and Mike Nevakshonoff. The third period was all Castlegar who finished on top 6-2 with two goals by Eric Horn, the first on a perfect pass from Bruno Tassone on a two on one break. Bob Blatchford got the other Rebel goal, and the four goal spread could have been much larger had Castlegar been a little more effective on the power play. S Although we didn’t eap- italize on the man advantage situations, I felt we con- trolled the puck well in the Warriors end. We may have been guilty of not taking enough shots,” Wyatt con- cluded.

Despite all the injuries they suffered last season the Canucks finished only 10 points behind the division- winning Chicago Biack Hawks. They then shocked the Philadelphia Flyers with a 3-2 play-off win in the Spectrum, before succumb- ing in three games. Hot young netminder Glen Hanlon made a big impression before going out with a knee injury. Perhaps the biggest loss of all was Bill Derlago. The Canucks counted heavily on the rookie centre who, in 1977-78, scored 89 goals and 152 total points with the Brandon Wheat Kings. Der- lago was injured early by a Denis Potvin hip check and managed to play only eight games for Vancouver. How much the Canucks can improve this year will_ depend greatly on the health and performance of Hanlon, Blight and Derlago. There were a number of bright spots last season ‘— good performances on which to build. Bid Ron Sedlbauer gunned 40 goals while centre Thomas Gradin, a Swedish import, proved a classy play- maker and’ garnered 651 points. Tough little Stan Smyl had a good rookie season and will. improve on his 38 points. With Hanlon. and Gary Bromley the Canucks should be set in goal. Lars Lindgren, Harold Snepts, Kearns, Bob Manno, Jack Melihargey and possibly Lar- ry Goodenough are an only average defensive corps but most are young and likely to improve. At centre there is some strength in Gradin, Derlago and Chris Oddleifson but there is very little depth. The left side is Van- couver's strength with Sedl- bauer, Don Lever, Jere Gillis and Curt Fraser. The right side requires far better production. Stan , Smyl is set. Hopes are high for Rick Blight and also for the Canucks’ number one draft choice, Rick Vaive. At Birmingham, the aggressive Vaive led the team in points and the league in penalties. Dennis" home could always console themselves knowing that we had not pitted our best against their best, 5 When it became apparent that European teams were considering playing a select group of National Hockey League players, Canadians from coast to coast were drooling at the prospects of finally having the opportunity to show the world what our best could do. We were so hungry for an opportunity to gloat over an i, hi that hadn't since hy it i triump! Nancy Greene won the World Cup in skiing, that we neglected to question the sudden change of heart by the Russians. We avoided the possibility that perhaps they had scouts who may have brought back Canadians were no longer word to the homeland that the superior to -their European counterparts. That fact has been avoided to the point where our best may not be quite as good as their best. The NHL, formerly dominated by Canadian players, is now wil an number of i 1 players. reaching star status in our impenetrable sanctuary. Ulf Nilson and Anders Hedberg of the New York Rangers became the highest payed players in hockey a couple of years back, and the prospects of the big money is creating interest far afield. « Canada’s small population and the world-wide interest in hockey is i in the diminishi ination by Canadians in the world’s fastest sport. If it wasn't for the geographical advantage held by Canada, it is doubtfull that we could have hung on for this long, and with the creation of artificial ice surfaces, hockey has become popular. in areas where ice was something you only saw in a refrigerator. Canada’s present Olympic: hockey team recently concluded an exhibition series against several NHL clubs, in which the Nats came out ahead in the win-loss category. That same club, however ventured south of the border a couple of weeks ago for exhibition games against the United States Olympic team and were shelled 7-2 and 6-0. Although it is still true that Canada holds a slight edge over its competitors, there has to be some readjustment of thought regarding the teaching of the game. Howie Meeker's philosophy of getting back to the fundamentals of hockey may be starting to sound redundant now, but it is still applicable. e XSay "Gold Rush of '79 IS COMING NOV. 2 & 3 in Trail |____Check_this_paper_Oct.31_for-_details— ny sg yarwalle S QVUL ALA: a INCLUDES INSTALLATION $ Walt TIRE AND AUTOMOTIVE CENTRES thwarts Id-be goal scorer Stock Exch Thope they have more gains than losses.

At the beginning of this month, a walk-a-thon was sponsored by the students’ council. A total of five stu- dents endured the entire 20 miles. A couple of teachers and two members of the senior boys’ volleyball team jogged the 20 miles. All those who participated in the walk- a-thon will get a reduced rate on dance admissions. On Sunday, a bottle drive was held. It was well represented. The students’ council would like to thank all those who donated bottles. On Thursday, the leg- endary Black Aces will take on the senior girls’ and boys’ volleyball teams. Clubs are also starting on Oct. 25. Each Thursday, one period will be used to initiate these ‘clubs. Such clubs as crafts, photography, drama, computers, and many more will be taught. On Oct. 27 the senior boys will be hosting a six- team tournament in Nelson. .
