In his report, he\nstates the main reasons for the\nproject: \"The University established a committee of the garden\nwith assistance of Japanese-Canadian gardeners, and made efforts\nto keep the garden in good shape.\nDespite this fact,\nthe garden became rough and\ndamaged.\"\nOkusa, who\nhas taken time off\nwork to act as\nchair of the\nNitobe Garden\nCommittee for\nthe Gardeners'\nAssociation,\nagreed that some\nrestoration work\nwas in order.\n\"I wonder if\nthere's ever been\nenough maintenance crew or\nmoney for the\ngarden,\" he said.\n\"Ifs not because we gardeners didn't have\nthe ability to look\nafter it. We found\n[Mr. Masuno's]\ncomment very insulting.\"\n\"In [Masuno's] report it\nlooks like we\ndon't have the\nability and that is\nwrong,\" he said.\nPatrick\nMooney, acting\ndesign advi sor for\nthe project and\nassistant professor of plant science and landscape architecture, acknowledged the concerns ofthe Japanese community.\n\"Many people have strong attachments to the garden and are\nvery concerned that the quality\nand concept ofthe original garden\nnot be negated in this process,\" he\nsaid.\nBut he also stressed the importance ofthe time constraints\nimposed on the proposed renovations: \"We've been pushing to expedite the project to get it done on\nbudget and on time to meet the\ncompletion date,\" he said.\n\"One ofthe terms ofthe funding is that the project must be\ncompleted within the fiscal year\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nand this means the end of March.\"\nSuzanne Poohkay, development manager of campus planning\nand development was unavailable\nfor comment.\nHalf of the $1 million raised\nDo xsii soo anything wrong with this picture? The university does,\nfor the restoration was raisedfrom\nthe Japanese government and the\nKonwakai, an association of Japanese businesses. This amount was\nmatched by the BC government as\npart of a comprehensive plan to\nmatch private sector donations to\nUBC for capital and endowment\npurposes.\nEileen Mcintosh, in charge of\n. fundraising for campus development and external affairs, could\nnot be reached at press time.\nOkusa expressed dissatisfaction with the extreme speed at\nwhich the proceedings have been\nforced ahead by the university, and\nalso with the lack of response from\nthe university to the many letters\nof concern the Gardeners' Association has sent.\n\"We sent a comment on the\ngarden report [by\nMasuno] on April\n24th, , but they\nhaven't re\nsponded to us so\nfar. This is the\nend of August.\n\"There's no excuse,\" he said.\n\"If time is limited, they should\nhave responded\nimmediately.\"\nThat Masuno\nwas hired as\nlandscape architect for this restoration projectis\nalso a matter of\ncontention.\nAccording to\nMooney, \"The\nuniversity carefully examined\nthe work and credential s of Mr.\nMasuno before\nwe hired him.\"\nMasuno served\nas visiting professor of landscape architecture at UBC in\n1987, and worked\nclosely with\nMooney.\n\"If you really\nwant to do something authentic,\nyou must hire a\nvery high grade\ndesigner from\nJapan,\" Mooney\nsaid.\n\"The more one\nknows about the\ntremendous\nsubtleties and the lengthy tradition of Japanese gardens, we realize that the expertise doesn't exist\nin someone outside the culture,\"\nhe said.\n\"We wanted someone who not\nonly was in the Japanese culture\nbut had demonstrated experience\nin Japanese gardens,\" Mooney sai d.\nOkusa was perturbed with the\nchoice.\n\"I don'tbelieve they did enough\nresearch on that matter.\nSAM GREEN PHOTO\n\"Also, they should have contacted the successors of [the original landscape architect] Dr.\nKannosuke Mori, Mr. Mamoru\nMori,\" he said.\n\"[Mr. Mamoru Mori] is an expert landscape architect specializing in this area and very knowledgeable of professor [Kannosuke]\nMori's work.\n\"So far, Mr. Mori hasnt been\ncontacted by UBC yet.\"\nAlthough Mooney maintains\nthat the project is a restoration\nrespecting the original design,\nOkusa disagreed.\n\"Our concern with the proposed restoration can be simply\nstated,\" he said.\n\"It is a radical departure from\nthe original design and concept of\nProfessor Mori.\n\"It is our view that what Mr.\nMasuno is contemplating is not\nthe restoration ofthe art of Professor Mori but a reconstruction that\nignores the Professors' philosophical traditions.\"\nOkusa added, \"This disrespect\nwould not be tolerated in Japan\nand we are extremely disappointed\nthat it appears to be acceptable to\nthe university.\"\nMooney pointed out that the\ndrawings will be displayed at the\nUBC botanical gardens between\nAugust 30 and September 8 with\nall interested parties from the\npublic and the university invited\nto make written comments.\n\"At the end ofthe review process these comments are to be incorporated into the revision ofthe\ndrawing,\" Mooney said. The review will be conducted by the\nNitobe Garden Advisory Panel\nwhich has been in place for about\ntwenty years.\nOkusa expressed further concern about the review process itself, and about representation on\nthe advisory panel: \"Who is going\nto verify the contract?\"\nHe said the Gardeners' Association is asking for appropriate\nrepresentation of the Japanese\nCanadian community on the advisory council for the restoration\nproject.\nNitobe Memorial Garden is\nnamed after Dr. Inazo Nitobe, a\nJapanese diplomatand scholar. He\ndied in Vancouver in 1933 while\n\"working for better understanding\nbetween Japan and Canada and\naddressing public meetings in the\ninterest of peace,\" in the words of\npast UBC president Norman\nMacKenzie.\nCanadian Federation of Students: activists plot strategy\nby Frances Foran\nThe group who helped\nfreeze tuition fees this year is\nalready heating up new campaigns to reduce students' financial burdens and to address\nthe growing threat to student\nunions.\nJaquie Best, Canadian\nFederation of Students-BC\nchair, said they will make student union autonomy a major\ncampaign this fall, partly because ofthe confrontations the\nSimon Fraser Student Society\nhas faced with the university\nadministration and anti-union\nactivists.\nAccording to Best, the SFU\nadministration used pending\ncourt cases by two SFU students disputing mandatory\nstudent society fees to suggest\nthe university should not have to\ncollect fees on behalf of the student society.\n\"We want to make sure that\nboards of governors don't have\nthe right to interfere with student unions,\" said CFS provincial organizer Dave Kapelle.\n\"As soon as they lose their\nautonomy, student unions can't\nchallenge their boards of governors.\"\nKapelle said the CFS is currently working to find legal\nmeans to acquire student society\nautonomy beyond the provincial\nSocieties Act, which is under\ndispute in the SFU case.\nBest said the student societies at UVic and Emily Carr have\nbeen under fire from their administrations this year. A similar situation to Simon Fraser's\noccured at Langara this spring,\nwhen administrators tried to\nmake fee collection contingent\non an audit of the student society.\n\"We'd like to see the autonomy of student unions set out\nclearly in legislation and a\nguarantee of fee collection,\" said\nBest. \"Ifs as simple as that.\"\n\"If students have a choice\nwhether to pay or not pay student fees, you may not see the\nstudent organizing we need to\nmake sure that fees don't go up,\nand students will end up paying\nmore in the long run if there's no\norganization fighting for adequate student aid and lower\ntuition fees,\" Best said.\nGetting student reps on college boards, as they are on university boards, will beone aspect\nofthe autonomy drive, Best said.\n\"It used to be that more than\nhalf of the governors were elected\nthrough school boards, but during the time ofthe Socreds they\nreduced the proportion... Nowifs\nall government appointees.\"\nBest said despite the tuition\nfreeze which the CFS made an\nNDP election issue last fall, this\nacademic year will be tough, especially for those seeking student aid because of record student -unemployment. Between 20\nto 40 per cent of students did not\nfind summer jobs, which are a\nprecondition for getting financial assistance.\nMoreover, the province did\nnot compensate schools for the\ntuition freeze, leavingindividual\ninstitutions to impose their own\ntuition increases of as much as\nfive times the rate of inflation.\nThe dismal job market\nwarrants the continuation of\nthe \"freeze the fees\" campaign,\nsaid Best. \"We need to see some\nsort of provincial regulation of\nfees so that tuition levels are\nset in the context of other factors like financial aid and funding levels, and ideally, moving\nto zero tuition fees,\" Best said.\nOther campaigns will also\nbe launched at the national\nlevel. An awareness campaign\nof First Nations education issues and a speakers' series will\n\"de-celebrate\" the discovery of\nColumbus in north arnerica.\nThe CFS has said it will\nfight to make accessible and\naffordable education key issues\nin the upcoming federal\nelection.\nAugust 27,1992\nTHE UBYSSEY/3 SPORTS\nTewksbury: swimming in gold\nThe sky was unbelievably clear, not a\ncloud in sight, as I sipped complimentary beverages in the warm\nVancouver sun.\nI was high above the water on the back\ndeck of an 88-foot yacht slowly swaying mt: it's hard\nback and forth on its mooring behind the J^JJJJ^ ^\nWestin Bayshore Hotel.

It's sort oflike\nbeating your head against a\nwall...\nKK: What are the differences between a Canadian\nand an American Olympic\nathlete?\nand relax?\nMT: I'm just a normal guy.\nI like to go see movies, and I\nlike to go out for dinner, and\ndo very simple things, I'm a\nvery simple person. I have a\nlot of close friends and I en-\nby Kerry Kotlarchuk\nJust days before, the Big\nBrothers Organization had\nasked me if my little brother\nQuinn and I would like to\nattend this Investors Group\nsailing, featuring Olympic\ngold medalist and Olympic\nrecord setting swimmer,\nMark Tewksbury. I thought\nabout the proposal as a vivid\npicture instantly arrived at\nmy cerebral cortex; this is\nthe back-stroking machine\nthat stole the hearts of Canadians in a come-from-be-\nhind victory at the Barcelona\ngames.\nWow, did he look excited!\nOn the podium, as the\nCanadian National Anthem\nsqueaked out of the economical speakers, the look\nin his face said it all.\nIt was a look like I had\nnever seen before, of sheer\npride and exhilaration. The\nlook of someone overcoming\nall their fears and frustrations in the most attended\narena in the world, the\nOlympic Games.\n\"Hello....hello, are you\nthere T Yes I answered,\nyes, I would love to go, 111\ncall Quinn and make sure he\ntoo can attend.\nAll of a sudden all was\nquiet, HE was now on board.\nWith the presence of an aging dignitary, his long strides\ngracefully brought him into\nthe middle of the adoring\ngroup. HE was immediately\nswallowed by the beast in a\nblur of handshakes and admiration. I would wait until\nthe time was right, until the\nfeeding frenzy had subsided,\nthen timidly approach him\nfor some curt questions.\nBut he ate the crowd up\ninstead, I saw him licking\nhis lips as the last gold-digger left his side. They all left\nlooking much better for the\nwhole affair. Everyone\nsmiled as they talked excitedly about receiving their\nfifteen minutes of fame that\nAndy Warhol had indeed\npromised.\nHe sat alone on the upper deck ofthe stately yacht\nwhen I approached him:\nKerry Kotlarchuk (KK)\nMark Tewksbury (MT)\nKK: Mark, when did you\nstart swimming?\nMT: I started 16 years ago,\nI was eight years old, and I\nstarted in Calgary.\nKK: Is there a special someone who inspired you from\nthat age, or more recently?\nMT: Well, it was more the\nwhole Olympics; I was eight\nwhen the 1976 Olympics\nwere on in Canada, and I\njust found the whole event\nso incredible that I wanted\nto be a part of it. Swimming\nhappened to fare very well\nthat year so I started in a\nswimming program.\nKK: Did you and your camp\nbelieve the gold medal was a\npossibility?\nMT: Yes and no. I was just\ntrying to do the best I could\nand it turned out on the day\nI really thought that that\nwould be enough to win it,\nand it \t\nworked\nout.\nKK: After winning the\ngold was\nthere a\nfirst person you\nthought\nof, was \t\nthere someone who came to\nmind right away you wished\nto share this experience\nwith?\nMT: Not immediately. I\nthink at first it was more of\na shock, it really took a long\ntime to sink in that I had\nwon the gold medal.\nKK: How do you feel about\nperformance-enhancing\nsubstances? This year in\nparticular at Barcelona\nthere were claims that the\nChinese women's swimming\nteam were using such substances. Do you have any\ncomments on this?\nMT: Well, it would probably be different if I had lost\nand I felt that someone had\ncheated. In my event I believe that it is fairly clean,\n[or] very clean. I don't worry\nabout it. It's frustrating that\nit's evident, and Fm really\ntrying to push for blood testing instead of urine testing;\nI think that would be much\nmore outspoken than the\nCanadians and\nyou certainly\nknow when the\nAmericans are\nthere. Canadians tend to be\nvery proud but\na little bit quieter about it.\nKK: I've heard\npeople say, in\nthe past, that\nfor example, a\nbronze medal\nfor a Canadian\n...on a marketing level,\na silver or bronze isn't\nworth alot, but I'm sure\nif you asked the athletes\na silver or bronze is\nworth everything. Just\nto get on that podium is\nso great.\nathlete is\nhighly regarded, and\nyour gold\nmedal\nachievement is of course\noutstanding, but for the\nAmericans a silver or bronze\nin some cases isn't good\nenough.\nMT: You have to look at\neverything; it's not fair to\ncompare Canada to America.\n Ifyoulookat\nthe population alone,\nwe're not the\nsame two\ncountries.\nYes, we border each\nother, but\nthat doesn't\nmatter. Our\n medal count\nis always\nsignificantly lower, of course,\nthan America because ofthe\nnumbers, so they win a lot\nmore golds, so you're right.\nOn a marketing level a silver or a bronze isn't worth a\nlot, but I'm sure that if you\nasked the athletes, a silver\nor bronze is worth everything. Just to get on that\npodium is so great.\nKK: Did the Canadians get\nvoted the most friendly team\nat Barcelona? Are you familiar with this claim?\nMT: I'm not sure, we're usually very well-respected and\nvery well-liked, so it wouldn't\nsurprise me. I would imagine the Spanish would be\nvoted the most popular team\nin the Olympics.\nKK: So you are 24 years old;\nwhere were you born?\nMT: Calgary. I'm a born\nand bred Calgarian.\nKK: What do you do, Mark\nTewksbury, to really unwind\njoy working hard, and resting, and relaxing, and\nspending time with friends.\nMy life is very simple.\nKK: What is your favorite\nkind of music?\nMT: I have a real eclectic\ntaste in everything from\nmusic to movies to clothes. I\nlike anything from Guns &\nRoses to classical to Aretha\nFranklin to Madonna. I'm\nvery easy to please, so I really have an eclectic taste.\nCountry is maybe not my\nmost favorite. I like a few\ncountry singers but for the\nmost part I stay away from\ncountry.\nKK: Do you have a favorite\nTV sport you like to watch?\nMT: I don't watch a lot of\nTV. I'm really busy with\ntraining and appearances\nand stuff, so I don't spend\nvery much time watching\nTV. If I do watch, I love\nwatching tennis.\nKK: If Canada ceased to\nexist, who would you swim\nfor? What is your ancestry?\nMT: Nothing major. I don't\nknow who I would swim for,\ngood question. I would probably swim for someone like\nAustralia because I wouldn't\nmind living there.\nKK: How do you feel about\nthe Eric Lindros affair?\nMT: I would prefer not to\ncomment.\nKK: With more and more\nprofessionals entering the\nOlympics,\nwhat is the\nfate of amateurism?\nMT: Well, I\ndon't know.\nThat's a good\nquestion.\nSwimming\nwill certainly\nstay amateur\nfor a long, long\ntime. Even my\nmaking money\noff of speaking\nand endorsements is really\ngetting away\nfrom so called\n\"pure amateurism.\" I\nthink it's\nhealthy for\nsport [amateurism] we\nput lot of hours\nin. I do think\nthat if we have the professionals in the Olympics that\nwe must focus not only on\nthem, but on all the athletes\nwho are there.\nKK: Are you going to take\nsome time off your schedule\nfor a hiatus so to speak?\nMT: Eventually I sure will.\nSome time for me to rethink\neverything.\nKK: Do you have any goals\nin the near future you wish\nto attain?\nMT: I haven't really had\ntime to think in all honesty,\nKerry, it's been very, very\nbusy and when the time\ncomes that I take some time\noff, Fll enjoy the moment and\nrelive the Olympics a little\nbit and decide where to go\nfrom there.\nKK: How do you like your\ncoffee, Mark Tewksbury?\nMT: I don't like coffee. How's\nthat? I don't drink it.\nKK: Have you heard of Tim\nDog?\nMT: Never.\nKK: Thanks very much\nMark Tewksbury, all of\nCanada applauds you.\nMT: Thank you.\nI was high.\n4/THE UBYSSEY\nAugust 27,1992 '/AWt^-fys'yt,;;, -,, , ; > i, sis\u00C2\u00BB>V>,, 'iW,;,/ t',$,\u00E2\u0080\u009E,'\u00E2\u0080\u009E,;'>i^ , ,\"i/sfsfsz,, \u00E2\u0080\u00A2.ffgrs^j. wy# v/*vjs/s/,%*,&A is , ',\u00E2\u0080\u009E?!>///,?;', '/svst}% ' ', W, ,f f*vrf h tf/sW\"/,/,'',\nSwimmer sets sights on gold\nby Lillian Au\nWhile the sight of the deep\nend may make some non-swimmers seasick and head for the\nmedicine cabinet for a bottle of\ngravol, Yvette Michel has no cause\nfor concern.\nFor the twenty-seven year old\nswimmer and mother, who was\nborn blind, swimming has been a\nsource of freedom, pride, and tremendous personal achievement.\nMichel, who was born with\nretina plastgoma, has held the\nnumber-one position in the world\namong visually-impaired swimmers in the 100 metre freestyle for\nthe past ten years. She is also the\ncurrent world record holder in the\n100 metre backstroke and 200\nmetre individual medley for the\nvisually impaired.\nNext week, Michel will make\nher fourth and probably final\nOlympic appearance at the 1992\nParalympic Games in Barcelona.\nA national blind swim-team member since 1980, Michel plans to\nhang up her towel after competing\nat this year's ninth Paralympics.\nAccording to the veteran\nswimmer, who has been training\nfor the Barcelona games at Percy\nNorman pool in Vancouver's east\nend, she has never considered her\nblindness a deterent to her goals.\nRather, her biggest obstacles have\nbeen the lack of publifc recognition\nand of financial support from the\ngovernment.\nMichel says she feels left out\nand disappointed that disabled\nswimmers have not received any\npublic recognition for their efforts.\n\"Even getting afew seconds of\nairtime on TV once inawhile would\nbe nice,\" she said. Despite the lack\nof attention, she said, \"Nothing\ncan take away from the good feeling I get when I win a gold medal.\"\nMichel, who is unemployed\nand is on a disability pension, received $875 from B.C. carding\nwhich is about the same amount\nable-bodied athletes receive.\nThatis small change compared\nto the thousands of dollars that\nable-bodied swimmers like Olym\npic gold medalist, Mark Tewksbury\ncommands from corporate sponsors such as the Investors Group.\n\"Its not even enough to join a\nswim club which, on average, costs\nbetween $1,200 to $1,500,\" Michel\nsaid.\nUnder the athletes'assistance\nprogram, which is referred to as\ncarding, elite athletes like Michel\nare ranked in terms of eligibility\nrequirements for funding by both\nthe provincial and federal governments.\nAccording to the swimmer,\nsecuring funding at the national\ncarding level is much more difficult for disabled athletes. Because\nthe criteria for national carding is\nso strict, and the amount of funds\navailable to disabled swimmers is\nso limited, athletes such as Michel,\ndespite having won four gold medals and two silver medals at the\n1988 Seoul Paralympics, are left\nout.\nUnable to find any private\nsponsors to help her get to\nBarcelona, Michel eventually had\nto borrow almost $1,300 from B.C.\nBlind Sports and Recreation -a\nprovincial organization which\nhelps blind athletes finance competitions.\n\"Unfortunately, there hasn't\nbeen as much money directed to\nCanadian swimmers, especially\ndisabled ones, as in the past,\"\nMichel said.\nAccording to Gerry Yorke of\nB.C. Blind Sports and Recreation,\nitis extremely difficult for disabled\nathletes to secure private sponsors.\n\"Disabled sports don't appear\nas glamorous as able-bodied sports,\nand in the case of swimming, their\ntimes are much slower as compared to those clocked by able-\nbodied swimmers. However, in\nsome disabled sports, such as judo,\ndisabled athletes are highly competitive with able-bodied athletes,\"\nYorke said.\nAccompanying Michel to\nBarcelonais Lynn Desjardins, who\nwill act as one of two \"tappers\" on\nthe Canadian blind swim team. As\na tapper, Desjardins stands at the\nend ofthe pool and taps Michel on\nthe head, shoulder, or hand with\nwhat looks like a single pull-buoy\nattached to a pole, just before the\nswimmer reaches the wall.\nThe placement and timing of\nthe tap must be synchronized perfectly with the swimmer's stroke.\n\"The timing is crucial. If I tap her\ntoo early, she won't get enough of a\npush when she executes her turn.\nIf Fm late, shell cruise right into\nthe wall,\" Desjardins said.\nMichel said, \"In competition\nyou're expected to surpass your\nnormal speeds so I can't rely on\ncounting my strokes to judge when\nI will hit the wall.\"\nIn her favourite event, the 100\nmetre freestyle, Michel clocks\nabout one minute and eleven seconds. Top ranked able-bodied\nswimmers like American Janet\nEvans average around 50 to 55\nseconds, according to Michel. In\nMichel's case, seconds add up when\nshe veers off-course, and in having\nto rely on her tapper to know when\nto execute her turn at the wall.\nA large part of Michel's training is devoted to developing a\nsmooth \"cadence\" or rhythm. In\norder to maintain a straight\ncourse, Michel must try to exert an\nequal proportion of force in her\nlimbs. For example, if her right\narm is stronger than her left arm,\nMichel will tend to swim off course.\nAccording to Desjardins, if an\nable-bodied swimmer like Mark\nTewksbury were blind-folded, he'd\nhave a tough time catching up to\nMichel, who swims incredibly\nstraight.\nIn order to prevent cheating\namong competitors, completely\nblind swimmers like Michel, who\nhas no light perception, wear black\nopaque goggles. While all athletes\nare examined by Paralympic doctors, some countries have tried to\nsneak in partially-blind competitor s in B1 races which are designed\nexclusively for completely blind\nathletes..\nMichel, who learned to swim\nat age six, says she took.to the\nwater like a duck. \"I didn't have to\ndepend on someone to take me\nsomewhere. I wasn't inhibited by\nthe water. Swimming gave me a\nsense of freedom which I couldn't\nfind on land,\" Michel recalls.\nAlthough Michel admires able-\nbodied swimmers like Elaine Tanner, Mark Spitz, and Alex\nBaumann, she wishes there had\nbeen disabled swimmer role models when she was younger.\nWhen asked whether she ever\nthought of herself as a source of\ninspiration for other blind swim\nmers following in her footsteps,\nMichel replied, \"I guess it would\nmake me feel good inside if it did\nhappen.\"\nMichel will be competing in\nsix events at the Barcelona\nParalympic Games, which are\nscheduled to run from September\n3 to 14. She is favoured to win the\ngold medal in the 50 and 100 metre\nfreestyle, the 100 metre breast-\nstroke, and the 100 metre back-.\nstroke. She hopes to place in the\ntop three in the 4 x 100 freestyle\nand the 4 x 100 medley relay.\nCycle team off to\nParalympic Games\nPaula Wellings\nA 70 kilometer ride through\nthe hills of Spain awaits Patrick\nYork and Sue Drinnan, two Vancouver members of the Canadian\nParalympic Cycle team.\nTWsFridayYorkandDrinnan\nwill fly to Barcelona to participate\nin the blind tandem cycling event\nof tiie ninth Paralympic Games.\nTheir race is on September 12.\nYork will also be participating\nin the team cycle event on September 16, where each team of three\ntandem bikes travels 60 kilometres\ntogether, racing against the clock.\nThe Paralympic Games has\ninvited 91 countries to participate,\nand will be hosted at the Barcelona\nOlympic village.\nYorkand Drinnan first started\ntraining for the Paralympics 15\nmonths ago. This year's racing\nseason has taken them to many\ncompetitions including the US National Tandem Championships,\nwhere they met up with a US\nParalympic Tandem Cycle team.\nYork and Drinnan train about\nfour times weekly, putting in\nmaximum distances of 130 miles\nper ride.\nIn order to qualify for the\nParalymics, the tandem duo had\nto have a time close to the\nParalymic tandem worldrecord for\n40 kilometres, currently 40\nkilometres in 59 minutes.\nYork's best time for 10 miles\ntandem cycling is 22 minutes, 49\nseconds.\nWhile York and Drinnan have\nonly been working together on tandem for 15 months, they both have\na long history of training behind\nthem.\nYork first became involved in\nthe Paralympic Games in 1976,\nwhen visually impaired athletes\nwere first included in the Games.\n\"My sister was an Olympic\nathlete, and so in '75 we, the sport\nassociation, well we didnt have a\nsport association then, we just inquired if the blind were going to be\ninvited to the Paralympics of '76.\nIn March of'76 we found out yes we\nwere, and so the only thing we\ncould go on was natural ability. We\ndidn't really have time to train and\nso that's why I got hooked, completely. I was in seven events.\nEverything from wrestling, to\nswimming, to shotput, to discus, to\nhigh jump, to 1500 meters [race],\"\nYork said.\nSince 1976, York has partici-\n. pated in every Paralymic Games,\nwinning medals in many events\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nIn 1980 York swam and ran, in\n1984 he ran, in 1988 he ran, and\nnow, for 1992, he is cycling.\n\"In 15 years you get addicted,\nyou want to do everything. When\nyou have the opportunity offered\nto you, and you've got the time, you\nwant to to everything,\" York said.\nYork has changed sports\nthroughout the 15 years in order to\nmaintain a high level of performance.\nFor the mixed blind tandem\ncycle, York will be riding \"stoker\"\nbehind Drinnan, who will be riding\n\"captain\".\nDrinnan, a research project\ncoordinator in cardiology at the\nUBC hospital, also comes from a\nhighly athletic background.\nShehas cycled bothin the 1984\nand in the 1985 Tour de France, in\n1984 placing 12th. As well,\nDrinnan has been involved in ski\nmountaineering, downhill and\ncross country skiing.\nBefore becoming involved in\ntandem racing, Drinnan worked\nwith disabled skiers.\nThe BC Blind Sports and\nRecreation association has fund-\nraised for the majority of York and\nDrinnan's trip, but each is paying\nabout $1,300 to attend the games:\nDrinnan said anyone interested in becoming involved in blind\ntandem cyclingcanleaveamessage\nforher at 737-3034, BC BlindSport\nand Recreation.\n\"We always need captains for\nPat, because the only time he can\nget on a bike is when he has a\ncaptain. So if he wants to do anything on the bike he has to have a\ncaptain, otherwise he ends up\ncoming up short on his training.\nWhere with me, I just jump on my\nbike and train.,\" Drinnan said.\nTwo very excited cyclists prepare for Barcelona.\nPAULA WELLINGS PHOTO\n~*~t and Recreation:\nt t '/di\"d'\n',?'\nblind and visually impaired -,\nM-' ',t>K4 ->< K? \u00E2\u0096\u00A0\u00E2\u0096\u00A0 %\",h'\"Xx d,\n;; 5 *-'x<3smp^i\u00C2\u00BBraes- wh.0- S^* 3b^i*tl - ^m-oa* tj^^deEfcaSSeai as legally\n^m%tmximx^\netrfoTcet-^vtaapt; . ce.\nl^lSS^'\nitVve\n^SSsafo\nstrong P|\nssSsssS\n^f^Vve tft\u00C2\u00ABltv \u00E2\u0080\u009Ea;9tetvtVy -\nattetxvP^v? scale v>\npro***^\n$9 S^B^Sd^***^\nn\u00C2\u00BBas\nA,^d *ve\n\u00C2\u00A3ag\u00C2\u00B0B\ndo**1?\ntch\nof*-*\n\u00C2\u00B0\u00C2\u00BBveI^*a*\u00C2\u00B0*i8\n,s\u00C2\u00A3s\u00C2\u00A3ss.\nLMg*s\nitf\n^Se^e0^vet?^tnost,\nbttt.f1ess offe*?\u00C2\u00A3l\Y in*8\nthe cp^X\n-\"^vwaaAiad\nTetft'\naia8\noo\y9U\n*.*x*\nv^l\nv^\no*1\"\n*.-\u00C2\u00BB\u00C2\u00B0!\nS<\n^\nsut^\n\u00E2\u0080\u00A2^\n.*\u00E2\u0080\u00A2*\na**\n\u00E2\u0096\u00BA<*!\nJOAN MARCUS PHOTO\n\u00C2\u00B0rte\n?e. /Mc/to- >-o/-)cn,.\n^^^ST'\n\u00E2\u0080\u009E.\"u'Orv.:\nr e\"i6>o\";'\neM\u00C2\u00B0M S'M*7/^X\n^^xc0/a;j;M^^,\n.^o^-^^e^c^S^\n\u00C2\u00B0\u00C2\u00B0^cfe'\n'M/M\nrMorpc\n7r)Se\u00C2\u00A9o *\n^\nA R T S\n* * * /\n;<*.*** ****>% i* , X-,\nPrince wins out as usual\nby Beck Bishop and Martin\nChester\nFREEDOM is an elusive\nthing that people struggle to\nachieve, rarely gain, and when\nthey do, are quick to run from.\nFreedom means responsibility\nfor yourself, and that's never\neasy.\nIn Enchanted April, four\nwomen travel to Italy to live for a\nmonth in a castle and discover\ntheir own freedoms, whether\nthey realise it or not.\nFILM\nEnchanted April\nAugust 28 to September 3\nPark Theatre\nLottie Wilkins (Josie\nLawrence) is escaping an\nunloving, controlling husband\nand a dull, middle-class life. The\npious Rose Arbuthnot walks\naway from her indifferent, porno-\nwriting husband while seeking to\nescape her suffocating life.\nNeither ofthe women feel loved\nor wanted in their London lives.\nLottie and Rose hook up\nwith Lady Caroline Dester (Polly\nWalker), who is tortured by\nbeing beautiful and popular\n(Tve wasted so much time being\nbeautiful\"), and the aging Mrs.\nFisher (Joan Plowright) who is\ndesperately.livingin the past\n(\"All of my dead friends don't\nseem worth reading tonight\")-\nEach woman finds her\nfreedom, but each is also quite\nwilling to throw it away. Free\nfrom male-dominated lives, they\nare happy and bold. In each\nother they find what they are\nmissing in their lives at home\u00E2\u0080\u0094\nlove, confidence and kindness.\nBut for some unexplainable\nreason, Rose and Lottie welcome\ntheir husbands back, and\nCaroline needs a new man. Only\nMrs. Fisher, (she is not given a\nfirst name and only refers to\nherself by her dead husband's\nname) does not enter into a\nrelationship, but that is a result\nof a socially-imposed asexuahty\nin old age.\nTrue, there is an attempt to\ntry to explain this change. The\n\"magic'' ofthe castle changes\neveryone so that the dead weight\n(men), who arrive on demand\nhalfway through the film, are\nsuddenly wonderful, lovable\nhuman beings (a challenge to\nswallow, yes). None ofthe\nchanges are initiated by the men.\nThe women are made responsible\nfor how men treat them.\nBut the end of this story\n(based on William Wharton's\nbook Midnight Clear) seems to be\nthat women can only be happy\nwhen involved in monogamous,\nheterosexual relationships, with\ndominating males, who have the\nstunning generosity to take time\nout of their miserable lives to\nvisit sun drenched Italy.\nIt is beautifully shot.\nYawn.\nBut I (Beck) would have\nbeen much happier if Rose and\nLottie ran off together. Oh well.\nMaybe it was realistic.\nSigh.

And without doubt,\nMcMurtry has an astonishing\nsense of perception.\nAnother example. At one\npoint in a song about a woman\nwho's endured an endless stream\nof romantic disappointments she\nmeets a potential lover who\nsends too many flowers.\n\"He has too much pain to\nshare.\"\nMcMurtry's songs can be\ncalled a lot of things\u00E2\u0080\u0094but\ncontrived isn't one of them.\nIndigo\nGirls\nintroduce\nanew\nsound\nby Lucho van Isschot\nPOSITIVE vibes filled the\nOrpheum last Wednesday\nas the Indigo Girls played for a\nlarge, enthusiastic audience.

But hey, maybe that's just\nme.\nThe Indigo Girls did play\nolder favourites as well\u00E2\u0080\u0094such as\nPrince of Darkness, Kid Fears\nand, of course, Closer to Fine\u00E2\u0080\u0094\ninspiring the audience to sing\nalong.

In\nfact, because ofthe Orpheum's\ndraconian rules, no one was even\nallowed to stand up in the aisles.\nThe only other damper on\nthe evening was the cost of\ntickets.

Anew law from\nthe Conservative government in Ottawa, however, is\nsmashing that dream for thousands of new Canadians. This\nnew legislation, called Bill C-86, severely impacts the\nrights of immigrants and refugees.\nAt a time when the governme^'. is gearing up for a new\nelection, this bill is being steam * 3d through the governmental process to appease the nservative, racist sectors\nof Canada. The harshest impact of the bill will be felt by\npeople of colour as they are the targets of this goverment's\nracist policies. This bill is reminiscent of the racist immigration laws (like the head tax and one-stop laws) that used\nto exist in the earlier part of this century. The changes\nproposed completely violate Canada's commitment to international agreements like the Geneva Convention on\nRefugees and the Convention against Torture.\nUnder the new law, family is defined as being only\nspouse and children. Thus the extended family, which is a\nvalid institution for all communities of color, is not considered family. This will severely reduce the chances of parents\nof permanent residents from gaining immigration. Sisters,\nbrothers, aunts, uncles etc. will find it practically impossible to gain residency. These definitions of family come\nfrom a very narrow, racist point of view and completely\nignore and disrespect the multi-ethnic makeup of Canada's\npopulation.\nThe law will remove appeals to the courts for both\nrefugee claimants and permanent residents and the right of\njudicial review will be either abolished or restricted. Thus\nall decision making power is limited to the hands of a few to\nuse and abuse as they please.\nThe law makes potential immigrants inadmissible who\nhave never been convicted of a crime but who might have\nbeen associated with someone who might have been involved in criminal activity. The law proposes a definition of\n\"terrorism\" which includes anyone who might have been a\nmember of an organization involved in opposition to unjust\nand undemocratic governments. The definition is so wide\nthat even Nelson Mandela, =as President of the African\nNational Congress (ANC), which opposes the apartheid\nregime of South Africa, would not be permitted to remain in\nCanada as a refugee. This would be pronouncing a death\nsentence for political dissidents that face death threats in\ntheir mother countries.\nThe law will abolish work permits for refugee claimants,\nforcing them to seek welfare until their claim is determined.\nIn addition to the psychological pressures on the individuals\nand their families, this will also mean p vast increase in\ncosts to the social welfare programs ofthe provincial governments. And for potential immigrants and refugee claimants\nwho currently have an application in process may be rejected by the new law.\nThe law gives immigration officials and airline employees such wide ranging powers of interrogation, inspection\nand decision making, that abuse is inevitable.There is no\nright of appeal. Immigration officials will make these decisions without a lawyer being present and without a hearing\nof any kind. Airline employees will be expected to police\npassengers, seize and inspect documents at their discretion,\nand prevent entry of \"suspected refugee claimants\" to\nCanada. Penalties against airlines and others who assist\nrefugees will be greatly increased. Immigration officials can\nfingerprint, perform body and luggage searches, and use\nother methods of interrogation as they please.\nThe bill, to be introduced into Parliament on September\n21, is not far from the traditions of \"multicultural\nKKKanada\".

He is\npartly responsible for a lot of\nthis stuff,\" Cortez said.\nPinochet's brutal regime\nruled Chile from 1973 to 1990.\nCortez, who was a political prisoner during the early\nyears ofthe Pinochet regime,\nrecognizes that many more\nthan the listed 2,279 people\ndied between 1973 and 1990.\nBut, he argues, it would be\nunwise to test Pinochet's patience, who is still in command ofthe armed forces.\n\"All Chileans, including\nAylwin, are limited because\nPinochet is still chief of the\narmy. So any desire to go after him is unthinkable,\"\nCortez said. \"If you push too\nfar, Pinochet could do something crazy again. We don't\nwant to have to go through\nthat again\u00E2\u0080\u0094no matter what.\"\nAccording to Fernando\nCausiiio, Chile's Consul General in Vancouver, \"This report has been rejected by the\narmed forces. They say it is\nnot valid, biased and all that.\n\"They argue that there\nwas an internal war in Chile\nat that time, and they say\nthat there were also many\npeople from the military who\nwere killed. They have their\nown list of people in the military who were also killed.\"\nCortez said, \"It's a very\ndifficult situation because,\nof course, many people in\nChile are angry at what\nhappened\u00E2\u0080\u0094even myself.\nMany of my friends were\nkilled and I was put in\nprison\u00E2\u0080\u0094but I think that\nsomething is better than\nnothing.\nPinochet came to power\non September 11, 1973,\nwhen Chilean army and air\nforce troops stormed the national presidential palace in\nSantiago.\nThat same day Chile's\nelected socialist president,\nSalvador Allende, was assassinated.\nPinochet immediately\nundertook drastic measures\nto crush popular opposition\nto his regime. He ordered a\nbrutal crackdown against\nleftists, labour organizers\nand, indeed, all opposition\npoliticians. The crackdown\nwas orchestrated by the.\nChilean armed forces, and\nby Chile's secret police in\ncollusion with former Nazi\ncolonel, Walter Rauf.\nThousands were killed,\nharrassed, imprisoned and\ntortured by Chile's secret\npolice during the seventeen\nyears Pinochet was in power.\nFree elections were\neventually held in March of\n1990, and Pinochet was deposed. The elections were\nwon by a broad-based coalition, fronted by Christian\nDemocrat candidate Aylwin.\nAnd on April 25, 1990,\nthe Aylwin government\nstruck a federal commission\nto investigate human rights\nabuses committed in Chile\nduring the Pinochet years.\nCausino said, \"This commission was created very\nsoon after the government of\nAylwin took power in March\n1990. And it was formed by\nindependent people from\ndifferent sectors ofthe country.\"\nThe commission is composed of eight people, including ministers of the current\ngoverment, former ministers\nwho had worked with\nAllende, political analysts,\nand politicians who had\nworked with Pinochet. Jaime\nCastillo, president of the\nChilean Human Rights\nCommission, was chosen to\nchair the commission.\nAfter several months of\ninvestigations andinquiries,\nthe commission submitted\nrecommendations to the\nChilean Congress\u00E2\u0080\u0094including a recommendation that\nChileans who lost family\nduring the Pinochet years be\ncompensated in some way.\n\"The [ monthly] pension\nis 140,000 pesos\u00E2\u0080\u0094the\nequivalent to nearly $400.\nThat would not be considered\nmuch in Canadian terms.\nBut for our standards it is a\ngood pension, especially if\nyou consider that the minimum salary [in Chile] is now\nsomething like 36,000 pesos [$103] per month,\"\nCausino said.\nAccording to Causino,\nspouses and parents are\neligible to receive this pension for life, while children\nare only eligible to receive it\nuntil they reach 25 years of\nage.\nCausiiio said he does not\nknow if there are any Chileans in Vancouver who are\neligible for this pension, but\nthat he has publicized the\ncommission's findings in the\nChilean community.\n\"This is well known by\nthe Chilean community. But\nno one has come. I can tell\nyou that no one [in\nVancouver] has come, up to\nthis moment, to obtain this\npension,\" Causiiio said.\n\"I think the payments\nbeing offered are a gesture\nby the government to tell\nthe people that they want,\nin a way, to try to close the\nwound left by this situation,\"\nCausino said.\nBut, Causiiio admitted,\nmoney could never compensate for the loss of a family\nmember.\nCortez agreed and said,\n\"The money is not going to\nbring anybody back to life.\nBut at least it is being recognized that the atrocities\noccurred\u00E2\u0080\u0094which is, in itself,\ngood.\"\n\"We Chileans need to\nconcentrate on rebuilding,\non the future,\" Cortez said.\nOpen 7 Days \u00E2\u0096\u00A0********\u00E2\u0080\u00A2 s-srs-ss*\nM-Th8-9 =_=\t\nSat-Stin =_=\t\nDISCOVER THE\nCOMPETITION\nlow low prices\nfree services\nlaser printing\nUNIVERSITY VILLAGE 2ND FLOOR 2174 W.PARKWAY.
