Nineteen Asians ordered
released if cash bond posted

HALIFAX (CP) — Nineteen of the 174 Asians detained
at a Halifax military base since landing in Nova Scotia last
week have been ordered released once they post cash bonds.

But five men ordered to remain in custody by
immigration adjudicators were moved this morning to a
different military installation in Halifax. No explanation was
given for the move.

They were among 173 men and one woman — most of
them Sikh — who were picked up after landing 10 days ago
near Charlesville, a small fishing village on Nova Scotia's
south shore.

Illegal entry
angers voters

By CasNews Staff

As chairman of the Progressive Conservative
western caucus, Kootenay West MP Bob Brisco has
canvassed the views of some of the Western MPs on the
issue of the recent illegal entry to Canada of 174 Sikhs.

“There is a strong sense of frustration and outrage
being expressed by constituents across the Western
Provinces,” Brisco says in a prepared release.

Brisco says it is essential that detention of all those
suspected of terrorist activities should continue until
investigations are completed.

“Canada has no room for immigrants, refugees or
so called refugees who seek to bring their political or
religious wars to this country.” he said

Brisco recently urged the Immigration Minister
Benoit Bouchard to introduce new immigration legisla
tion immediately after the House convenes following the
summer recess. In his representations to Bouchard Brisco
said, “Those people who would sneak ashore in the dead
of the night ona lonely coastline, and who would lie about
the circumstances of their arrival and place of origin, are
an afront to all the legitimate immigrants and refugees in
Canada, and those awaiting legal entry.”

He added, “The responsibility for the delay of the
passing of the Immigration Bill is due to the actions of
Liberal Immigration Critic, Sergio Marchi and NDP
Immigration Critic Dan Heap. I encouraged the public to
contact these members to express their outrage.”

Brisco also commented on the case of the Nelson
resident Fred Nachbaur.

“I fully understand and sympathize with my
constituents who are drawing a comparison of the illegal
Sikhs and the circumstances of Mr. Nachbaur's depor-
tation order, but there are no similarities between these
two distinctly different immigration cases. I will be
meeting with the Nachbaur family to discuss the options
that are now open to us as soon as possible.”

Piercey said today. The review process will probably
continue until late tonight, he added.

Halifax lawyer Lee Cohen, whose law firm has been
retained by Sikh organizations in Vancouver and Toronto,
said he was satisfied with the pace of the review process.

Cohen said he would ask the Crewn to adjourn his
application to the Nova Scotia Supreme Court for a writ of
habeas corpus — a demand for the immediate release of all
the Asians:

Foreign nationals requesting refugee status in Canada
can be held indefinitely if authorities believe they are a
threat to security or will not appear for future processing.
Detention orders must be renewed every seven days.

Immigration spokesman Bill Boyle said department
officials were trying to speed the review process because
detention orders issued last week will expire early
Thursday. There was a possibility officials would begin
conducting three reviews at a time to meet the deadline, he
said

Boyle said early this afternoon that 20 reviews had been
completed. Sixteen Asians were ordered released after they
post a bond — some set as high as $5,000. Four were further
detained—two for undisclosed medical problems, the other
two for unexplained reasons, he said.

Anyone released after a detention review must return
for an immigration inquiry to request refugee status

During immigration inquiries Monday and Tuesday,
three Asians were ordered released after posting bonds and
one was ordered detained for another seven days.

Amarjit Singh Garcha, 24, was detained after RCMP
officials said he told them he would kill if ordered to do so by
superiors in a Sikh organization to which he belongs.

Garcha admitted he is a member of the militant
All-India Sikh Student Federation, named by some officials
said Garcha is wanted by the Indian police and was involved
in a riot in India.

Immigration officials said today Garcha and the four
men ordered held after detention reviews were moved to
Windsor Park, a military installation near Stadacona, where
the rest of the refugees are being held.

All of the 19 men ordered released were still under
military guard at Stadacona today. But they were moved out
of a gymnasium — where they had been held since landing in
Canada — to nearby barracks.

Members of the Maritime Sikh community said today
they were attempting to raise money to post the bonds for
those whose freedom has been approved.

THAT MAKES YOUR MONEY WORK AS HARD AS YOU DO

After a slow start this season, the Castlegar
Aquanauts Swim Club moved into high gear Saturday
and Sunday, capturing their second championship in as
many weekends, The meet held this past weekend in
Colville, Washington saw nearly 300 swimmers from 10
clubs competing in a range of team and individual events.
New ere set in all events as the pool was
recently redesigned to meet metric standards. ‘

The Castlegar club's 1,206 aggregate point total was
compiled through the efforts of over 80 club members.
Special mention goes to Novice Division swimmers B.J.
Haviland, Ryan Phillips, Tamus Case and Graeme
Redekop for their efforts.

Division I swimmers Craig Hawkins (gold) and

Trevor Haviland (silver) posted outstanding times on
their way to medal performances. Chelsea Van Vliet
(silver) and Chris Chernoff (bronze) led the way in
Division I medal honors with teammates Teddy Hunter,
Greg Young, Matthew Small and Adam Rodgers all
showing improved placings.

In Division IV, Amy Rodgers posted finishes in the
top eight while Aquanaut swimmers Aimie Chernoff,
Wendy Gouk and Lori Picco swept the top three spots.

Not to be outdone, the Division IV Boys placed six
swimmers in the top eight with Mike Hunter winning the
silver aggregate medal. Jodi Young (silver) continued her
dual with Ariel McDowell of Robson for top spot in
Division V while Steve Junker posted provincial calibre

times on his way to the gold medal. He was followed
closely by Gavin Ratke and Alex who
performed well in a very competitive division.

In Division VI, Jennifer Small earned the bronze
medal and Lisa Dodds continued her steady climb up the
placings ladder. Assistant Coach Tom Carew also helped
the cause earning the gold medal in Division VII (open) as
well as posting the fastest Aquanaut time in a special 400
metre freestyle event.

In the same event, Wendy Gouk was the fastest
female Aquanaut and Alex Hartman turned in a strong
performance. Castlegar capped off their strong overall
showing with wins in the Mile Swim and 1000 Metre Open
Relay events.

The Robson River Otters travelled
to Colville, Wash. over the weekend to
compete in the fourth meet of the
season.

In preparation for the regionals, the
Colville Valley Swim Club added a
bulkhead to bring their pool size to
25-metre length. This means all first
place swimmers set new pool records.

River Otters deserving a pat on the

Expos’
streak
stopped

MONTREAL (CP) — Danny Darwin
can't be termed a Montreal Expos’
killer just yet, but the Houston Astros
right-hander sure knows how to spoil
their fun.

“He's beaten us like a drum this
year,” said Montreal manager Buck
Rodgers, after Darwin pitched a five-
hitter into the ninth and defeated the
Expos 4-2 Tuesday night, ending the
National League team's eight-game
winning streak.

In four career starts against Mon-
treal — all in 1987 — Darwin has won
three and lost one. The latest triumph,
however, didn’t hold any great secret
for the man who engineered it.

“The main thing was that when they
hit the ball hard a couple of times —
when it could have made a difference in
the game — the balls were right at
people,” said Darwin, who was working
on his ninth career shutodt, and first
since joining the Astros last season,
entering the ninth.

Tim Raines ended the bid by sending
1-0 pitch over the right-field fence for
his eighth home run, cutting the
Houston lead to 4-1.

Darwin, 7-6, was removed for ace
reliever Dave Smith, who struck out
the side, but not before the Expos
touched him for a run.

Hubie Brooks's one-out double, a
balk by Smith, and a two-out, infield
single by Vance Law, cut the lead to
4-2, but Smith fanned pinch-hitter
Andres Galarraga to nip the Montreal
winning streak, two victories shy of
matching the club high of 10, set in
1980.

Floyd Youmans, 7-4, the Montreal
starter, had a streak of his own
entering the game. He had pitched two
straight shutouts, but his scoreless
string was snapped at 20 innings, when
the Astros cuffed him for three runs in
the third.

Gerald Young opened the scoring
when he stroked a lead-off single, stole
second and continued to third on a
throwing error by Expos catcher Jeff
Reed, before racing home on a
groundout to shortstop by Bill Doran.

FOR B.C. LIONS

Attack, challenge
keywords to defence

By GRANT KERR
Canadian Press

VANCOUVER (CP) — Attack and challenge have been
the keywords to the brilliance of the British Columbia Lions
on defence this year in the Canadian Football League.

The Lions lead the league defensively by allowing only
34 points in three games while B.C. has gone unbeaten to
lead the Western Division.

“We approach each game with two things in mind —
attack the quarterback and challenge the receivers,” head
coach Don Matthews said Tuesday. “That's our way of
playing football.”

B.C. held the Saskatchewan Roughriders to one point to
open the season, gave up 15 against the Calgary
Stampeders, then allowed 18 against the Edmonton
Eskimos.

This week the Lions go after their fourth straight win
when they meet the Ottawa Rough Riders at B.C. Place with
the following defensive statistics:

allowing the opposition to complete only 50 per cent of
their passes for an average of 210 yards a game;

holding the opposition scoreless along the ground by
yielding 90 rushing yards a game;

intercepting 12 passes and returning them 292 yards
for two touchdowns;

© recovering five fumbles, two for touchdowns;

© scoring four h » plus r
punt for another major score.

TAKE CHANCES

Sturdy defence isn’t the only B.C. trademark early in
the season as the Lions are taking more chances offensively.

During a 26-18 victory over Ed: kend,

the officials determined Edmonton wasn't ready.

“We want to be known as a team that will take a
chance,” Matthews said. “We've played a gambling style on
defence for five years and now we're not reluctant to take
some chances offensively.”

The B.C. defence features two new players this year in
end Gregg Stumon and tackle Brett Williams, the latter
acquired after the folding of the Montreal Alouettes last
month.

Stumon played two games at linebacker late last season,
then was switched to end in training camp this year by
defensive line coach Larry Donovan after an off-season knee
injury sidelined all-star end James Parker.

“I think my speed is my biggest asset,” said Stumon, 24,
of Southern Arkansas, who has six quarterback sacks,
including three against Ed: to rank second to the
eight recorded by Eskimo end Stewart Hill. “I just line up
wide and try to get to the quarterback quickly.”

Williams, a CFL all-star in Montreal, has played only
one game for B.C. and considers his performance against
Edmonton a bust, calling himself the “weak link of the
defence.”

“He's got 60 more minutes to prove himself,” said
Matthews. “He has to be more productive because this is a
very competitive world.”

The Lions placed import defensive lineman Bennie
Jones on the reserve list when Williams was acquired. He
first was claimed by Saskatchewan in the dispersal draft of
Montreal players, then traded to the Lions for a first-round
draft choice in 1988.

“We chose the one player we thought could help us,”

title game

PRINCE GEORGE (CP) — Prince
George won its second provincial Babe
Ruth baseball championship in three
days Tuesday, downing Trail 9-2 in the
final to capture the junior title for 14
and 15-year-olds.

Prince George, whose senior Babe
Ruth team won the B.C. title Sunday in
Cranbrook, scored four runs in the
second inning and added three more in
the fifth to break the game open
against Trail.

The win ended a string of three
straight second-place: finishes by
Prince George teams at provincial
junior championships.

Pitcher Craig Poitras overcame
early control trouble to toss a three-
hitter for the victory and catcher Eddie
Dent, the tournament's most valuable
player, drove in three runs with a pair
of hits.

Dent also led all players in the
eight-team double-knockout with an
-800 batting average.

Trail pitcher Darren Miracle, re-
lieved in the fifth inning by Jason
Startup, was tagged with the loss.

Prince George advances to the

Thunderbirds tout

Seattle's

By CasNews Staff
and News Services

Under ownership that took over the
beleaguered franchise in 1985, the
Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western
Hockey League think they're finally
making their presence felt.

General manager Sheldon Ferguson
thinks Seattle can be an outstanding
hockey city.

“We think Seattle has the potential
to possibly be in the National Hockey
League some day,” he said in an inter-
view Tuesday. “We think Seattle has
the potential to be a great hockey city.”

Ferguson, 33, a minority stockhol-
der, says the Thunderbirds are looking
for their best season ever — at both the
gate and on the ice — when their
season gets under way in October.

Eighty-five per cent of the Thunder-
birds are owned by Calgary oilman
Earl Hale. Ferguson runs the franchise
for Hale and is one of three minority
owners. The group bought the fran-
chise from the league.

THREATENS MOVE

John Hamilton of Portland, Ore., its
previous owner, had threatened to
move the franchise to Canada.

potential

“It was a sad state of affairs when we
took over,” Ferguson said. “But we
realized the potential when we took
over. That's what we bought at the
time — potential.”

The Thunderbirds averaged more
than 3,000 fans with six sellouts last
season and 2,400 fans with two sellouts
in 1985-86.

This season, Ferguson says the
Thunderbirds are looking to make a
profit for the first time.

“We have a big investment in the
city of Seattle,” he said.

“We're in a business like anybody
else. It's not a hobby or a toy. It has to
be able to carry itself. We hope it
eventually returns some dividends.”

Seattle already has three major
league professional sports franchises —
the National Football League Sea.
hawks, the American League Mariners
and the National Basketball Associa
tion Supersonics — as well Uni

The Thunderbirds have held their
training camp at the Castlegar Com
munity Complex the last four years and
plan to stage another camp here Aug.
23-30.

Texas finds secret
to beating Toronto

ARLINGTON, TEX. (AP) — After
losing nine of 10 games this season to
the Toronto Blue Jays, Texas Rangers
manager Bobby Valentine says he's
found the secret to beating them.

“Just have Ruben Sierra hit a couple
of home runs, that’s what it takes,”
Valentine said Tuesday night after
Sierra's second homer of the night — a
two-run shot in the ninth — lifted the
Rangers to a 64 American League
vietory over the Jays.

It also helped the Rangers’ cause
that rookie Paul Kilgus held the Blue
Jays hitless for the first five innings
and relief ace Dale Mohorcic squelched
a late-inning threat.

“Kilgus was outstanding,” Valentine
said of the left-hander who was making
his first major league start after 11 re-
lief “You couldn't ask a

the Ottawa game.

man to do any more than he did

tonight. He really kept them off bal
ance.”

Kilgus went 7 1-8 innings, allowed
four runs on four hits, walked one and
struck out three.

ALLOWS HIT

The first hit he allowed was a Garth
lorg single leading off the sixth after
retiring 15 of the first 16 batters he
faced.

“I was aware of the nohitter,” he
said. “You're always aware of that. But
T'm almost glad it didn't happen be
cause it would be all downhill from
there.”

After the Rangers gave him a 3.0
lead through the first five — one of the
runs coming on Sierra's first home run
of the night — Kilgus was nicked for
consecutive-pitch home runs in the
seventh by Jesse Barfield and George
Bell
