New park created By CasNews Staff A new provincial park has been created at Trout Lake at the head of the Lardeau River north of Kootenay Lake. “This is a major con- servation initiative for our provinee, since Trout Lake is crucial to one of British Columbia's most important spawning habitats for rain- bow trout,” Environment Minister Bruce Strachan said in a news release. The ministry bought 16 lots from Cominco and the company then donated an additional six lots “strategic to the spawning channel,” said Strachan. The 316-hectare park will be managed jointly by the ministry's parks and outdoor recreation division and the recreational fisheries branch. DAMAGED DODGE .. .

Williams points out that under the new legislation, refugee applicants will be given a hearing within three days of them arriving in Canada unless they are excluded at the border. “Most refugees will be excluded solely on the basis of the country they passed through to get to Canada,” she adds. “In the case of refugees from South or Central America, that country is the United States, where less than six per Trustees reject program. . vigil set cent of applicants are accepted at the U.S. — Mexican border. In effect, in returning refugees to the U.S. we are returning them to their country of origin because that is where they will be sent.” Williams says if the refugee does not bring docu- mentation with him he will be put in jail until his hearing. “Most refugees cannot get documentation because to go to the proper authorities to obtain them in their own countries is tantamount to signing their own death warrants.” If the applicant is turned di by Canada he is allowed to appeal. However, at the appeal he)is not allowed to add more information or correct misinfoymation or in any way present a better case for himself, says Williams. The appeal can only be heard on,points of Jaw — whether the first hearing was conducted according to thé law.

Some trustees felt the money would be better spent improving already existing programs used by the dis- trict. “I don't know why we would even consider setting up a separate assessment and development centre when the universities are at least three-quarters of the way to providing that,” Doreen Smecher said. However, committee members did indicate a need for better training for ad- ministrators. “I think leadership is some- thing that needs to be learned,” trustee Rick Pon- gracz said, adding that such a program would “rejuvenate” “Universities have failed us.

WILEY Associated Press SPOKANE, Wash. — Richard Roble Ns is definitely better the 43rd time around. That's the number of times he says he ‘and Carole Barring complications, the couple plan to be married ‘in all 50 states by 1990, Roble said in a telephone interview from his home in Hempstead, N.Y. In their most recent marital outing, they exchanged vows in Wyoming, Montana, Oregon, Washington and Idaho on their 18th wedding anniversary Nov. 80. It was the most times they've been married in a day. ‘Their previous bést was the day they were bya (Navajo minister in the Four Corners of Utah, "ado, Arizona and New Mexico. “It’s something different for us,” said Roble, 60. “It kind of means something to us, and we enjoy it.” Each time is better than the first, he said. “We get excited. We're nuts and we love each other.” “I'm from Ohio and my wife's from New York, so half of her people couldn't come to our wedding,” he said. “The following year, we had a wedding in New York. So, when our third anniversary rolled around, we said. ‘Let's do it again.’ ” SEVEN TOGO Since then, they have exchanged vows in all but with pi other state requirements before each ‘ip, her penn said. On some applications, the couple fudges the answers to questions about their marital status, Roble said. He said that he and his wife, concerned about the legality of their multiple marriages, had talked to their lawyers, who assured them there was nothing the states could do. For their Nov. 80 weddings, the Robles arrived in Cody, Wyo., a week in advance. On the appointed day, they were married by a justice of the peace in a police station in Cody at 7 a.m.; they then drove to Billings, Mont., where another justice of the peace performed a courthouse ceremony at 9:35 a.m. They flew to Spokane, and drove to Walla Walla, where a district court judge married them. They continued by car to Milton-Freeman for their wedding by McEachern, and then went to Moscow, Idaho, where another preacher performed the day's final ceremony. Roble, a semi-retired trucker and manager of an aluminum manufacturing business, said he prefers to think of each wedding as a renewal of the vows taken 18 years i Bvery time, we get married I spit and sputter and (COME AND HEAR ALL ABOUT IT OW Sunday, December 13 At 7:00 p.m. THE PENTECOSTAL NEW LIFE ASSEMBLY 602 - 7th Street, From rig: Justin Mel Donna ae SPECIAL RELEASE FOR CHRISTMAS “GOOD NEWS|!" t's Our Christmas Program for Everyone! rt of a craft fair id in Robson. sweat lik PARye, he Mid Premier's refusal a slap Premier Vander Zalm's re- fusal to ban uranium mining in B.C. is a slap on the face to British Columbians who have voted overwhelmingly against mining and explora- tion of the radioactive ore, says New Democrat environ- ment critic Joan Smallwood. “He has made a mockery of and in face said in a prepared release.
