Martin Wadling, 85, and Edith Carlson, 83, tied the knot in a simple ceremony recently in suburban New Westminster. “He didn't want to go alone to the cemetery, so he'd phone me up,” said Carlson “One thing led to another.” Carlson said her first hus: band introduced her to Wad ling 57 years ago. “We were good friends with Martin and his wife,” said Carlson, whose first husband died in 1979. “We did a lot of things together.” Schools, parents blasted EDMONTON (CP) — School and parents expect children to run mental mara thons without basic training, says lecturer and former teacher Simone Bibeau.

But just how much work is required won't be known until Kevin Lagan, the city’s engineering services manager, completes a report on the pool. “We don't know if we're looking at a small amount .. . or a large amount,” said Ald. Terry Rogers, chairman of the parks and recreation committee. But he added: “Some action is going to have to be taken to get us through the season.” However, Ald. Carl Henne, a member of the committee, said it would be “bad economics” to spend too much money on the pool. Rogers agreed: “To ever bring that up to good shape” is out of the question. There are a number of problems with/the pool, Rogers said, beginning with the concrete itself. He said the) original deck deteriorated and was covered with a-16-centimetre concrete pad, but the pad has started to crack. As well, althoughythe pool heater is only four years old, it is already heavily rusted and corroded because there isn’t sufficient ventilation for it. The pool's skimmer no longer operates as it should because the skimming ledge isn't level. “Some of the major pipes are getting thin,” Rogers noted, and because of that the heater’s motors are wearing ‘still not made a decision on the city's request to forgive its out. $2.4 million industria! park loan. In addition, the public health office is not pleased with the way pool chemicals are stored. “There are many things,” Rogers said, “. . . and on some of these the health inspector is starting to get nasty.” He said the 25-year-old pool “is not in great condition” and could be expensive to upgrade. “There is reason for concern,” he said, adding later: “It's looking a little grim.” Henne noted that council is reluctant to spend a lot of money to renovate the pool when it could be faced with funding a new aquatic centre in a few years.

Following an agreement on certain issues, Cominco made an offer to the union. Cominco spokesman Richard Fish offer. “Talks have broken off.

Local 480 and Cominco met after the rejection vote to explore further talks, however, Cominco said it does not intend to “buy its way out of the im- passe.” The company suggested the union rearrange the contract package so it would be suitable to union members, but not increase costs associated with the tentative agreement. The union replied that the contract was unacceptable and that the com- pany would have to make changes, Fish “No further money is available, either now or later,” Fish said last week. Speaking to the Castlegar News today, Fish said no negotiations are planted for this time. Meanwhile, Cominco has applied for a court i ion to limit pick at sions to his CosNewsPhoto by Rick Graham “The policy committee turned it (offer) down. It was an offer that included all three concessions. It was not an offer we coud! counter-propose around,” Saare told the Castlegar News today. “We told Cominco to come back when they were serious about bargaining.” Saare added that he has had no indication when talks will resume, but added that his nembers are prepared to stick it out as long as it takes to get a contract. “Nobody's ever prepared for a long strike.

Picketers caused a traffic jam on the Cominco hill Friday morning and some supervisors were forced to wait up to 90 minutes to get into the plants. This Monday supervisors were again delayed, only this time in leaving work as picketers stepped up action around the company gates. Fish said there were no problems with supervisors entering the two plants this morning. Asked if it appears the strike will be a long one, Fish replied: “I really couldn't speculate on that.” He also declined to comment when asked if Cominco is prepared for a long strike.
