Files found in dump The federal government and RCMP are ing an into how files came to be discarded in the Christina Lake garbage dump about 18 kilometres east of Grand Forks. “There's an awful lot of unanswered questions,” said Ken Gresley-Jones, customs superintendent at the nearby Cascade border crossing. “It’s being investigated right now. Gresley-Jones confirmed the documents were micro- fiche files from the immigration department. Customs officials began trying to determine how the files went missing last week, he said, adding RCMP officers have also been involved in the investigation. Gerry Maffre, a spokesman for the employment and immigration department in Ottawa, said today; “We take any kind of a situation like this very seriously.” According to Mike Hogan, a reporter with the Grand Forks Gazette, the abandoned microfiche files include information on: ¢ Crimes ranging from manslaughter and kidnapping to possession of stolen passports. e Names and descriptions of an estimated 4,000 to 5,000 people with foreign birthplaces. e Records of people who participated in organized motorcycle gangs, failures to appear before immigration inquiries, and in some cases, notes on being investigated by police in connection with a crime. Hogan, who used a magnifier to determine, what was on the microfiche, said a ministry of employment and immigration transit receipt dated Dec. 18, 1986 was included with the complete A to Z set of 18 file cards. He said the receipt asked for confirmation of the destruction, by burning or shredding, of files replaced with the current set. Hogan said the return address on the receipt was the ministry of employment and immigration's director of the division, enforcem branch, in Ottawa. “PERSONALIZED Quuiroplan INSURANCE « LICENSE PLATES © REGISTRATION VEHICLE TRANSFERS PREMIUM FINANCING SERVICE” SERVICES LTD.

Gresley-Jonés Said customs wouldn't necessarily notice if a new set of files was late in arriving, as they are sent on an irregular basis, He said customs employees stationed at Cascade, or the other two crossings in the immediate area, often do immigration work since the immigration department doesn’t staff the crossings. Christina Lake resident Allen Piche said he found the files during a trip to the dump Jan. 3. “I was dropping off some garbage at the dump and noticed a pile of what looked like office supplies,” Piche, 41, said, adding he picked up a large envelope that could be reused, Piche said he believes the address on the envelope was the Cascade customs office. He said he later looked at the files which were inside the envelope with a magnifying glass but he couldn't make much sense of the information. However, he added a form included with the files that advised the holder to destroy previous microfiche made him start wondering about the contents. He said he then remembered a controversy in November after a Canada Employment Centre employee in Kitchener walked out of his office with. confidential microfiche records to show how easily security could be hi ing the di: ance of income tax records which concerned ‘16 million Canadians. Piche, a former journalist in Grand Bend, Ont., said he eventually turned the files over to Hogan; who was an aquaintance of his. Piche, who is now a carpenter, said two uniformed Grand Forks RCMP officers interviewed him about the documents and took statements on Sunday and Monday. He said the officers asked a lot of questions about where exactly he found the envelope and whether it was sealed. Piche added the files did not appear to be old. “They didn't look bent or twisted. They looked fairly new.” Piche said he thinks a customs employee must have got the garbage mixed up. “I think it's probably just somebody who screwed up and they should be punished.” Hogan said he has been working for more than three weeks on a story about the files. said he couldn't comment on the nature WORK ON NEW MALL SET TO BEGIN IN MAY By MIKE KALESNIKO Staff Writer Despite recent rumors, construction of the proposed indoor mall for Castlegar is still on schedule and workers should be on the site in:May. Ted Charne, president of First Commercial Manage- ment Inc., the mall’s Winnipeg-based developers, told the Castlegar News in a telephone interview from Winnipeg Thursday that final design for the mall's access, the major hindrance in construction over the years, was only completed Jan. 24. “It’s a fact of life that it takes this long,” said Charne. “Things can only move at a certain speed. “There was a time when I wanted to start it the next day,” he said. “That shopping mall could have been erected and going some four years ago.” But Chatne said it's ‘still business as usual. He declined to name the stores committed to the project but added that he will disclose them once the individual stores give their permission. ‘We've got a major investment in Castlegar,” he said. “We want to make an attractive facility.” Charne explained that the access to the mall was of utmost importance. “Without access what have you got?” he said. “We've had 10 access designs.” The new access, agreed upon by both the Highways Ministry and the City of Castlegar, will connect Columbia Avenue to Highway 3 near the Monte Carlo Motor Inn. Traffic heading east on Highway 3 will then approach Columbia Avenue by the new access where a stoplight will be installed. Charne expects the first activity on the “eliptical site” (behind Castleaird Plaza near Highway 3) will be to drop the ground level of the site, which at present is too high, and find a buyer for the gravel that must be removed. First Commerical Management Inc., which has constructed several malls throughout Canada, expects the new mall to cost between $6 and $7 million. The mall, which is expected to be between 9,290 and 12,077 square metres (100,000 and 130,000 square feet), will have space for up to 20 stores and should employ some 200 full-time and part-time workers during the construction phase. He ‘said he first realized how important the were when federal officials began to resist his questions. Hogan, 36, said police, on instructions from the Nelson detachment, interviewed him Sunday and took the documents away but not before he had already made notes and photographs had been taken. He added Marie-Josse Lapointe, press secretary to Employment Minister Benoit Bouchard, told him the ministry is also investigatifig the case. gar passed away Friday, Feb.

The boat was discovered drifting, with Dudoward’s friend passed out in the cabin. “The jury concluded the cause of death to be accidental and due to drowning,” said coroner Irene Pearce, adding that there is not a lot of information about the circumstances. Dudoward, from Port Simpson, and the friend had gone aboard the friend's father’s boat to go fishing. There was some drinking and smoking of marijuana, the inquest heard. FBI help VANCOUVER (CP) — Police investigating the apparent shooting death of 20-year-old Marguerite Telesford in Saanich on Vancouver Island have turned to the FBI for a psychological profile of the killer, a police spokesman said. Insp. Jim Arnold said that two attempts by a dowser— or water witch — to find the woman's bod have failed to turn up any clues. Saanich police have received more than 200 phone calls from psychics offering to help. Arnold said the department has asked the FBI to help the investigation by preparing an offender profile of the killer based on the victim's background. Police have concluded that Telesford, a- University of Victoria education student, was shot to death sometime between 7:15 and 8 a.m. on Sunday, Jan. 18 while jogging.

Gem appraised LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Star of America sapphire, touted by its discoverer as worth $2.28 \million US, is an “insignificant” stone worth less than 1 ite-twentieth that amount,” say gem dealers, curators and appraisers. “I don't think the word million can enter into the conversation,” said Elly Rosen, an_ independent appraiser who has been a gem consultant to the Internal Revenue Service. “I think the difficulty would be in the five figures.” Roy Whetstine of Kilgore, Tex., said he bought the potato-sized rock last year for $10 and claimed he got offers of more than $2 million.

The rebels stopped fighting during a 60-day ceasefire in their insurrection which began 18 years ago, though the military accused them of truce violations. Last week tough | fo By JEFF BRADLEY Associated Press TORONTO — It's not Irangate or Watergate, but the last week has been a tough one for Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's: scandal-prone Conservative government. As he tried to fend off charges of tifaonse peddling and corruption cabinet members and their advisers, two new scandals grabbed the headlines and an opinion poll said support for Mulroney's party has sunk to just 23 per cent. Mulroney, a 47-year-old lawyer and corporate executive from Quebec Province, swept to power in 1984 ‘with promises of Reagan-type conservatism and clean government. One of his main goals is negotiating. a free-trade agreement with the United States. But half-way through his five-year mandate, Mulroney is already being talked about as a, one-term prime minister. He has lost six cabinet ministers due to controver- sies, including Industry Minister’ Sinclair Stevens charged with conflict-of-interest, Defense Minister Robert Coates who resigned after visiting a sex palace while on official business in West Germany, and most recently, Minister of State for Transport Andre Bissonnette, linked to a shady real estate deal involving a defense contract for the Swiss arms maker Oerlikon. Two weeks ago, Mulroney himself was accused of intervening in a 1985 lawsuit on behalf of one of his senior advisers, Fred Doucet, by making an angry telephone call to the opposing lawyer. "Under re in Parl ulroney admitted making the call in an attempt to setile the dispute out of court and said his action was “neither unreasonable nor irresponsible.” 4 Last week, Mulroney's principal secretary. Bernard Roy, was aceused of interfering with the bidding process for a $1 million ($750,000 U.S.) government contract which eventually went to a Quebec company with Conservative Party connections, despite a lower bid from a’ firm with ties to the opposition Liberal Party. ‘Then on Thursday, cabinet member Roch Lasalle, minister without portfolio and a Conservative Party powerbroker in Quebec Province, was accused of attending a July 1985 party where 85 Montreal businessmen each paid $5,000 ($3,750 U.S.) in cash in hopes of receiving government, contracts. Lasalle denied receiving any of the cash and said the party was hosted by Quebec member of Parliament Michel Gravel, who is already awaiting trial oni 50 charges of fraud, bribery, peddling Ir Mulroney scandal, in which land destined for an Siciory teipLinte peice coehte Lnlige, bouironey Ooceaed 3 afr cagmns ag Rowe He ging around PS ae vcs, pra a ip search of politieal dirt and innuendo, and blasted the media for a smear campaign based on “rumor and unsubstantiated fact.” He disclosed on Friday that he had heard about the $5,000 party a year ago and immediately ordered a police investigation, But opposition parties continued to press for a full public inquiry into the awarding of contracts under the Conservative government. “When finally is he going to clear up the moral act of this government?” Ed Broadbent, leader of the New Democratic Party, asked the prime minister. The Angus Reid Associates opinion poll that showed the Conservatives with only 283 per cent of the vote, against 42 per cent for the Liberals and a record 33 per cent for the leftist New Democrats, also said 68 per cent of voters doubt the honesty of Mulroney's government. “A government that promises to raise Ottawa's ethical standards and instead indulges in patronage, and Lasalle was already in hot water over revelations last month that two of -his political aides had criminal records. He told a news conference Friday that the government had been “embarrassed by me a little bit in the last three weeks . .. and I'm ready to make a sacrifice,” a hint he was prepared to resign. After remaining low-key during the Bissonnette business deals and cover-ups is guilty of wantonly betraying the public trust,” said columnist Carol Goar of The Toronto Star, Pledged to deal with a number of complex problems, including tax reform and a $32 billion ($24 billion U.S.) budget deficit, perhaps the most serious consequence for Mulroney is that “the drama has virtually derailed the government's efforts to pursue its agenda,” the Toronto Globe and Mail commented Saturday.

NEC faces closure threat By CasNews Staff Unless area municipalities and their residents come up with more money, the West Kootenay National Exhi bition Centre will probably fold, pre dicts NEC director Lucille Doucette. Doucette said municipal funding for the NEC has not increased over the last five years, but the centre's opera ting costs have increased The NEC, which specialilzes in trav. eling history and art exhibits, has an annual budget of $80,000, $25,000 of which comes from the federal gov RADON— continued from front page will have two detectors, one in the basement and one on the main floor, which will be left in place for six months.

Doucette said municipal govern ments have contributed $10,000 but more money is needed. “We have to start getting more money, and citizens can do something. The average donation from an adult is 25 cents,” Doucette told the Castlegar News in an interview. . She added that because the NEC was set up by the federal government, there's a misconception that the centre is a federal institution. “We are at arms length from the federal government. If money is not raised locally, then local people will not get paid and the power does not get paid,” said Doucette. “The local people are the ones who receive all the bene- fits.” She added that another misconcep- tion is that if the NEC closes its doors municipalities could take over its building and set up a museum of its own for people. “It, doesn't work that way. If the NEC does go under then there will not be any: money to set up a museum.” She added that the NEC almost closed last year because of a funding shortfall but that the Hall of Museums pied out the centre. “They moved heaven and earth: make sure we didn't go under, We have just put together a West Kootenay gaftslexhibit which is going around the Interior Forest Labor Re- approval. lations Association has lost its fight to levy additional assessments on members which broke ranks during last year’s woodworkers’ strike and made separate deals with the union. The association, the bar- gaining agent for southern Interior forest companies, had imposed the assessment against five companies. The assessment — $4 an hour for each employee — was to help pay for the losses to member companies closed during the 4%-month strike by the International Woodworkers of America. Mr. Justice Ross Lander ruled in B.C..Supreme Court that the assessment was to- tally arbitrary and was im Lander said the association did not demand the books or the employee records of the five companies and did not give proper notification of the assessment. He ruled the assessment was in violation of the asso- ciation’s constitution and therefore was invalid. In addition to dismissing the action, Lander awarded the five companies legal costs. The five companies were among a number throughout British Columbia which broke ranks with their bar- gaining associations and made “handshake” deals with the union on the contentious issue of contracting out in or- der to operate: during the strike. Police File count?¥, Without the Hall of ffelp we ‘could not have done that,” said Doucette. She added that it would be “nice to think the citizens would rally around us” if the NEC did go under Doucette said local people helped out the Castlegar and District Public Library when it was in trouble and they should be doing the same for the NEC She added that the NEC does a lot of work with schools and that she hopes to receive additional funding from the local school districts.
