/*.. AMEmeAHBSTARrLOOKlNiifNfiEMNDAlE No gas drilling this year ALDERGROVE - The Fraser Valley Gas Project office here has been closed, "due to the unlikelihood that we will be able to drill a well this year," said project manager, Bob Spring, Tuesday; Spring told The Star that it has become too late in the season for exploratory drilling. Despite the promises of Premier Rita Johnston to commit provincial cabinet to a decision by this time, there is still no word one way or the other regarding whether the program would be allowed . to proceed in the valley. Spring is being transferred to Conoco's head office in Calgary. Spring said the experience of dealing with the local opposition to the project has been, "an eye- opener. It has been my fust experience with public opposition and it was a fascinating time which I will not forget." He said there has been virtually no opposition to the program in Delta, where one of the three wells has been proposed. "In fact, there are threats of lawsuits from x some of the property owners there if. the program is turned down by the government." The; direct .opposite has been the case in Langley municipality, where the other two wells have been proposed. Spring said that if permission is given to proceed, the program Would have to start early next year. "We don't want to interfere with the migratory birds (in Delta)," he said. Spring also said that there has been no opposition from residents in Washington state to an exploratory well that is underway near Ferndale. Spring, said one resident there appeared to voice the feelings of the American residents in talking about the wealth he expected from the mineral rights he owned, but Spring cautioned him that it wasnt necessarily going to mean riches for all even if there is natural gas found. This American drilling project is about 15 miles south of the Aldeigrove border crossing. VOL.33 NO 27 THURSDAY.

MLAs unapologetic about severance Summer fun for the kids is now taking tothe streets, with school out and clear skies at last Above the youngsters at the Seventh-Day Adventist vacation Bible camp try their hands at blowing soap bubbles. See story Inside. -Kovincasiiuo photo VICTORIA - Surprised? With the sple exception of former premier Bill VanderZalm, members on both sides of the legislative assembly were making no apologies for the recent revelation that a severance package equal to half a year's pay awaited many of their number defeated in the upcoming general election. Even if they should decide on their own to back out before the election, they would be eligible. MLAs who have not worked long enough to get a fat pension would get a minimum of $24,000, while cabinet ministers would receive another $19,000, and a premier who lost her seat would get $42,000. Another month's pay Is added for every year of service. MLAs must serve either seven years to get their pension or in at least three legislative assemblies, but cannot collect until the age of 55, or when age and years of service total 60. The severance deal, worked out in 1987 by a bipartisan committee of agreeing MLAs, applies not only to defeated MLAs, but to those who quit and" those who are defeated in their efforts to get renominated by their constituents. Angus Ree, a 12-year MLA for Social Credit in North Vancouver- Capilano, who won't be running in the next election, says the severance deal makes sense. "It will allow people to run for office who otherwise couldn't afford it." The severance and . generous pension plan make good sense, Ree says, because "MLAs often take a cut in earnings to enter politics.'' He himself has lost about $1.5- million in earnings from the law practise he abandoned for 12 years, he says. Women's programs minister Carol Gran (Socred - Langley) says "it is hard for an MLA to get a job afterwards." And NDP MLA Mark Rose says another NDP caucus member, who is a single mother, "gave up a $20,000 scholarship to run." To suddenly cut such a person off without a cent would make no sense, Rose says. But former premier Bill VanderZalm says he does not like the severance packet, "I never liked it. I think they should reconsider it." New charges laid against rape suspects, bail denied LANGLEY - One of three lower mainland rape suspects has been denied boil. David Lloyd Lee; 26, ot Clearbrook, appeared for a bail hearing last ; week before Provincial Court judge Cliff MacAithur. : Lee is charged joindy with Timothy Edward Bennett, 31, of Abbotsford with the abduction, rape and stabbing of an 18-year- old Langley woman. Bennett, who is charged jointly witH a third man, Jaswinder Singh Sira, 25, of Surrey, in a series of similar assaults in the lower mainland, is to appear in court here on July 9. MacAithur- ordered a ban on publication of all testimony at the bail hearing of Lee. In arguing for the denial of bail, Crown prosecutor Leslie Strike called the crime "repulsive" and said that custody before trial was "justified and necessary." The case "cries out for detention. The confidence of the public, and particularly of women,, in the justice system, would suffer" if bail was granted, she said. Dmitri Kontou, counsel for Lee, argued that all persons are presumed innocent Until proven guilty, and the Crown Would have to show why the accused should not be released.

It was just after 9 pm- when a witness saw Camille Williams talking to his killer, on the sidewalk, in front of the Hildon Hotel.

How to get yourself in gear EffectiveJune 1,1991, a tire, collection, program makesrecycling used tires easy. When you buy a new tire, environment-conscious retailers are acceptingyour used tires on a one-for- one basis. The same principle applies to lead- acid batteries. One used battery may now beacceptedforeachnewbatterysold. Or, you may sell the battery to a reconditioner or scrap dealer. What drives the program The green levy of $3.00 you pay on new tires, and $5.00 on batteries, is what makes these programs possible. Now, over 90% of the 2,000,000 used tires and 800.000 used batteries, that are being improperly disposed of each year, can be collected and reused or recycled into other useful products.

THE —r— » *r«'t ♦ » Our'Go South Tax* working well ByFREDLANGAN KNOWLTON, Que. - Just about every Saturday morning I load a five-gallon plastic gas can in the trunk of my old Volkswagen and head for the border in search of cheap fuel and chicken breasts at half price. I am joining a convoy of millions of Canadians in a tax revolt that has pushed up prices and made the U.S. a shopper's paradise. The Go South Tax Is- the nickname for the Canadian Goods arid Services Tax,-or GST, "the last straw" when addedto existing taxes by federal and provincial governments. It is being blamed largely for the exodus of Canadian shoppers to the U.S. After a 15-minute drive from Knowlton, my dog Petunia, my VW, my gas can and I arrive at the border crossing at North Troy, Vermont. The border guards are always friendly and when I tell them I am just going for some gas and groceries they wave me through. So many of us are being waved through that stores and gas stations on the Canadian side are going broke. Tough luck, we shoppers say: give us the lower prices and we might stay at home. One-day shopping trips to the United States were up by a quarter for the first three months ofc-this year, an increase that will post Canadian retailers about $2.3-billion, and that . estimate' ignores smuggling and assumes every shopper declares everything he or she brings back to Canada: A price survey by a Toronto analyst, John Winter, for Fort Frances, Ontario, across the border from International Falls, Minnesota, found that of 230 items, only 20 were cheaper in Canada. Gas, which averages $1.10 (per US gallon) in the U.S.A., is double that in most of Canada. So people lucky enough to live near the border fill up exclusively in the U.S. Food in Canada is more expensive, mainly because of marketing boards, which set prices on chicken, eggs, turkey and all dairy products. All those regulated foods are usually double in price - or more, as compared to the U.S. A packet of cream cheese is $2.75 in Knowlton; 15 miles south, in North Troy, it is the equivalent of Can.$ 1.30. So I stuff my car with chicken breasts, milk and cheese. Coca- cola, too, is less than half the price. When I hit the Canadian border I declare I have bought some groceries and gas. The guard waves me through. They will tolerate only about $20 worth of groceries, after that they charge duty. Even bigger savings can be made on cigarettes ($6 a pack in Canada and $1.50 in Ihe U.S.), liquor and beer, which are mote than double, all because of Canadian taxes on sinning, i have heard of people smuggling in bottles of mm, but I wouldn't know anything about it myself. One Ontario housewife I know drove two hours to Buffalo, New York, and bought $500 of groceries. When she crossed the border she paid 11.9 percent duty (there is no GST on groceries) and still saved $250. Many times it pays to declare goods, because the free trade agreement between Canada; and the U.S.A. means there is little or no duty. I' have bought telephones, a fax machine, a computer and software " in die U.S. and had them all shipped to North Troy, Vermont. All a Canadian has to pay is seven percent federal tax; by buying in the U.S. you also avoid paying the eight percent provincial rales tax7 ' ' ■ ■ The Goods and Services tax, brought in on January 1, was to have replaced the hidden Manufacturer's Sales Tax of 13-5 percent. But a recent survey by the Consumers' Association of Canada shows that prices have not fallen as the federal government promised they would. Government blames "greedy'' Canadian retailers and manufacturers. Retailers in this country are also "inefficient'', according to a survey conducted by accountants Ernst and Young for the federal government. Survey claims there is an extra layer of distribution between manufacturer and consumer in Canada, and that retail margins are much higher in this country as compared to the U.S. It pulls out a. an example bedsheets which sold in the U.S. for $52 (Can.$60) and in Canada for $154. Survey says that while tariffs and transport pushed up the price of the product, the big difference was in the retailer's profit, which was $18 in the U.S. but $66 in Canada. (As already mentioned, the survey was commissioned by the federal government. Possibly in an attempt to divert blame away from federal government tax policies). Sheets, towels and other textiles are a popular item with day-trippers to the United States. I sleep and wash with nothing other than 100 percent American cotton (Editor's note: Fred Langan Is a British correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph, living in Knowlton, Quebec. His analysis of the Canadian commercial and personal tax systems fails to take into account the divergence in government- funded social programs between the two. North American countries. Undoubtedly, many of bis fellow cross-border shoppers demand. from the Canadian federal government in Ottawa all those programs which Canadians have come to take for granted; demands which have not as yet ceased. Americans make less demands on their governments, and. thus aire lighter taxed. On ihe other band, some Canadians might have begun to see the tight: Less demands, less taxes. To them, we can only say, "Bless you, and have a nice trip to the USA."). Letters to the Editor Golfers need greens cornmenflawe Editor, Ihe Star, Sir Recently the Township council arbitrarily turned down a very attractive proposition by Mr. Dean Hall to develop a* golf course in the Aldergrove area. It is my opinion that this council would enhance its credibility if it took a second look at this proposal. Perhaps the incumbent members should take the time to watch some of the golf matches offered on TV. This would give them some insight into the large revenues that host cities generate from these tournaments, both for charity and their local governments. I ask one question: which is better for the environment, a beautifully landscaped green Letters welcome The Aldergrove Star invites letters to the editor on topics of interest to the community.

These pits are a blight on the area, and the resulting truck Traffic is a continual safety hazard, but they continue to allow new ones to be opened. I am a senior whose main exercise is playing golf, but I arid many others are finding it increasingly difficult to pursue this sport, as the high cost of a game of golf is beyond most pensioners' means. Our pensions do not increase by 30 to 40 percent as have the green fees at Poppy Estates, Langley Golf Centre arid who knows how high they will be at Gloucester Estates, now under development. Mr. Dean Hall has said that he will keep prices reasonable for seniors. Please give us a break by allowing this proposal to proceed. DONALD J.

The first voyage was unsuccessful in finding- the route to the west, as Mackenzie travelled the river that, he named Disappointment (today known as the Mackenzie River) to the Arctic ocean. Realizing that his knowledge of cartography and navigation was inadequate to reach his goals, Mackenzie travelled to •' England to study these' subjects. Returning to Canada, : his improved education now enabled him to discover the elusive overland route to the west. The Sir Alexander Mackenziee 'Canada Sea-to-Sea' bicentennial expeditions are celebrating the 200th anniversary of the first recorded crossing of Canada from the atlantic to the Pacific ocean. ■' This year brings the second phase of a four-year project organized by Lakehead University. In 1989, 25 lakehead Students paddled 3,500 kilometers from Fort McMurray, Alberta to the Arctic ocean, down the Mackenzie River. This summer will see the expedition travelling 3,000 kilometers from Lachine, Quebec to Winnipeg, Manitoba. 7" During the suriirfler Of 19_>2; the group will paddle: firth Winnipeg to Peace River, Albeirta. The following year will jseee the expedition memberss travelling from Peace River to Bella Coola on thePadfic Ocean. , 'Canada Sea^to-Sea' Will inform Canadians about a significant part of Canadian history, as well . as commemorate Mackenzie's search for the Northwest Passage. .As. itine. .modern-day voyageurs retrace the steps of Mackenzie, they will stop at communities along the way to present an historical pageant and to promote the , federal government's 'Stay in School' initiative. Statistics show that 30 percent of Canadian studentss now leave school before graduation. By the year 2000, one million under- educated, untrained students will have entered a labor market that has rising skill demands. Ihe Canadian fur trade era may be seen as the most culturally defining epoch in Canadian history, and the Canada 'Sea-to- Sea' expedition may well provide the incentive for all citizens of this country to reflect on the things that make us Canadian.

He is a draftsman and she is doing the jobs he gives her to speed up his work load. We haven't been married very long and have a six-month old baby. This young girl will not leave my husband alone and even phones our home to ask his advice. One morning as I stood at the front door waving goodbye to him I saw her up the street. He stopped the car and she got in. When he came home he told me she had been visiting her aunt overnight. It was news to me that her aunt lives on our street. A few nights' later he told me he was bending over her to show her some work and she reached up, pulled him down to her and kissed him I know my husband is faithful to me so I have no worries there but his boss is a Woman and a definite feminist and if she ever found out that there was hanky panky going on in the office the first rone, to be-.fijed would be,rny, husband. What can we do to avoid a scandal? Signed-. Margaret. Dear Margaret, I would suggest you be with your husband as much as possible. Meet him after work and do a lot of hand holding and hugging when you do. I think this young woman will get the idea that your husband is not for her and she will look elsewhere. Girls of that age do get crushes, especially it seems, on older men. When she realizes how happy you both are with each other I do believe your problem will be solved. ♦ • ♦. * Dear Readers, I haven't run a recipe for you for some time.

Our doctors moving south VANCOUVER - As ; ILS. lawmakers, look to Canada: for solutions, to their -health care problems, frustrated Canadian doctors are ready ;tO move in increasing numbers to the United States, medical officials here say. Spokesmen for the B.C.Medical Association say , new U.Si, immigration rules later this year should turn^ what' has; been a • trickle, of ^hii^ting'; Canadian'',' doctors into a flood. "It wouldn't surprise me if a number of doctors move ... an awful lot of doctors in this country are totally frustrated," says the association's executive director, Dr. Norm Finlayson. He says Canadian doctors are embittered by government red ■tape,, the difficulty of, finding hospital beds for their patients, and. the effort required to negotiate pay increases. Canada's socialized health system, hailed as a model of progressive medical care by liberal U.S. politicians, is in danger of collapse, Finlayson says. "The main reason Qt> will fail is because of the national debt and the provincial debt," he ..In.the US., about 15 percent of the population is not covered by any medical insurance. In British Columbia, /only, two percent of the population is not covered by the province's medical plan.

JULY 4.1991 BURNABY - It used to be that free time meant time free of work. Not anymore, according to Dallas Smythe, communication professor emeritus at Simon Fraser University. Despite living in ' a technologically-advancing world, Smythe says we now have.half the free, time we did a hundred years ago, even though we work 30 per cent less at our jobs. That's because' we . spend our leisure time "working*, in ways that weren't known'then. Smythe says we're no closer to having more free time in the 1990s. "Leisure time used to mean spending time at community events, strawberry teas, socials, and much more time with the family," says Smythe, who, at 84, sees little prospect of a return to family values and traditions as they were in his day, or at the time of Robert Lynds' 'Middletown',, an examination of how time was spent in a small U.S. towninmel^KOs.:. 7 Smythe wrote about the deterioration of free time in his 1981 book, 'Dependency Road; Communication, Capitalism Consciousness and Canada,' which examines the effects of communication on the country's consciousness, culture, politics and economics/ He says in his decade since its writing, free time continues to dwindle away and new forms of 7 "work" through mass communication are growing.. "Advances in technology assist production" rather than free us of responsibilties despite the perception we may have of such progress," fie says. , Smythe argues public audiences of mass media are submitted to work, whether it is through reading newspapers watching television or even motion pictures. Even spending time in supermarkets translates into "work getting done." "Fifty years ago clerks, went to get goods for customers, and they delivered them," says Smythe. "Now it is the consumers who must do the work." Consumership, he argues, has produced a backdrop of oral, visual and audio "wallpaper" in people's lives and is a big part of the "background activities" Condos boost starts recovery VANCOUVER - B.C's starts recovery received a big boost in May from the condominium sector according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. Multiples starts, which were mostly condominium, shot up to 1,602 units in May from 470 units in April. "Recent strong new condominium sales has sharply reduced unsold Inventory, thereby causing builders to increase production," said Helmut Pastrick, Regional Economist, CMHC B.C./Yukon Region. leisure time, optimism the tearmg away at Smythe has littl^ trend con be turned around, "The results," hes says, "the alienation, self-destruction, loss of family are making it hard to live anything but a distorted life." Smythe has spent 50 years contributing and responding to developments in communication technology, its changing role in society and its political and economical effects. He was the first Chief Economist at the U.S. federal communictions commission in the 1940s, and was a consultant for the Royal Commission on broadcasting in Canada in 1956-57. He was appointed the first head of Simon Eraser's communication, faculty in 1973 and was named professor emeritus in 1987.

Council' has launched an organizing drive, to sign ,up members Of the Construction and Allied Workers Union, the Canadian Iron, Steel and Industrial , Workers, and the General Workers of B.C. - recently founded construction unions that have about 12,000 B.C. members, most of them, in the northern half of the province. "We will go after them wherever we find them," says Council president Bill Holmes, who calls his rivals "rat unions" for negotiating weak contracts with employers. "They'll sign any type of agreement," he says. He claims some employers invite the competing unions to organize their employees to keep mainstream unions out. The upstart unions defend their contracts by saying the lower wages and benefits packages allow them to organize workers in smaller, less profitable companies - and to keep those workers employed for longer periods of time than their counterparts in the established unionss who. are often laid offf for long periods of time. Holmes says some 'rat* contracts give a carpenter's helper as little as $10 an hour compared to the $18 hourly rate negotiated by the 16 international trade unions that belong to the council. "It's damned ridiculous." He says the low pay rates are allowing employers that contract with the rival unions to underbid firms employing council union workers. "It is absolutely costing the trades money." He says the biggest losses have been in residential and institutional contracts. 'Holmes admits the organizing drive won't immediately mean better-deals for the members of the. rival unions. "We're bound by the agreement they've already, signed," he says, which means the trades can't cut a better deal until their current contacts expire - or the tuipfifyei agrees to .Reopen negotiations. VANCOUVER - Rental vacancies have risen considerably in B.C. according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation The rental vacancy rate rose to 2.1 percent in April, 1991 fro 1.0 percent six months earlier. An outflow of renters to - the ownership market and higher unemployment levels were cited as the primary factors, causing higher vacancy rates. Vacancy rates rose in most urban^B.C. centres. Vancouver's rate was up to 23 percent fro 0.9 percent in October, 1990 and Victoria was up 1.3 percent from 0.3 percent. More than one half of the urban centres had higher vacancy rates. Rent increases moderated in conjunction with the increase in availability. The annual rate of increase in the average one- bedroom apartment rent declined to 6.3 percent from 8.4 percent six months earlier. Average two-bedroom apartment rent increases eased to 5.6 percent from 7.9 perceritr ?^_^_^^_^F_^^^_^_i^^_^^^i^_r^i^a^_^_^^^^! ■___!__i______ __!_ _»f;__?.__? __? __!__? __f __? __?'__?__? __! __?__? __?__?__!

JULY 4.1991 at emission controls VANCOUVER - life GVRD may develop a program of its own to control heavy/ duty vehicle emissions in the lower mainland while Waiting for the province to provide a firm schedule for starting a province-wide testing program. Light duty vehicles such as cars, vans and small trucks Will be tested and subject to emission standards through the province's AirCare Program, beginning in 1992. Heavy duty vehicles are not covered under the program, but because they account for 12 percent of total air emissions in the region the GVRD believes they should be tested and subject to controls. "I _an't imagine the public being too' pleased about having to bring their own vehicles up to standard if big trucks and buses with smoking exhaust are still unregulated and on the road every day. those vehicles must be subject to environmental controls as well," said GVRD, Air Quality Committee Chairperson Doug Drummond. In the meantime the board is requesting a solid indication from the solicitor general's office pf the province's goals . and implementation schedules for heavy duty vehicle emission controls.

Chief Examiner of the West London School and7 was promoted to associateship at the Royal College of Art. Kilpin's artistic versatility; was remarkable. He was an excellent draftsman with a keen eye! for detail and perspective. Although trained in the traditional English manner, he emulated a series of new European trends: art nouveau, art deco, symbolism and later, impressionism. '' While living in his native England, Kilpin experimented with designs relating to the Pre- Raphaelite and Art Nouveau styles. Kilpin was also influenced . by the nineteenth century romantic artists, notably the Germans, who were interested in mystal and symbolic content. During 1878 and 1880 Kilpin travelled in Europe and sketched in Holland and Switzerland. Likely, he would have seen many . fine German mystical landscapes and early French impressionistic paintings. Impressionism was introduced to Canada at the turn of the century and was practised' by a variety of artists whom Kilpin would have met when he immigrated to Canada.. There is no evidence that Kilpin painted in this manner in England, but he incorporated the atmospheric style into a number of his Canadian landscapes. His experimentation solidified his own mature style of naturalism. With his wife, Blanche,, and their three; children, he-moved from England to Canada in 1906. They settled in Montreal and he pursued what he loved - painting and teaching. Kilpin sketched the Eastern Townships, the Richelieu River area and the Laurentians. He was a founding member of the Arts Club in Montreal and remained active in the Club's exhibitions arid activities. ', In 1919, at the age of 66 Kilpin died of a heart attack in his Montreal home. He left behind a legacy of memorable work which includes pastels, oils, water- colours, drawings, etchings, miniatures and monotypes. to 1989,. the Township of Langley revised its Collections Policy to permit the acquisition of both historic and contemporary works of art; Last year, Rev, and Mrs. Hartwell- IUsey, donated over 40 paintings by the late Legh M.

Being a Disney production, this ' summer blockbuster contains great action scenes without a lot of violence. It's a movie anyone of any age can enjoy, and that's a rare quality in the movie business today. The Rocketeer is another comic book hero to come to life on the big screen as Disney has grabbed the idea from the graphic novel (a long comic book with great drawings) of the same tide. Yet again the Rocketeer's hero is unlike all the others before him. Batman and the Punisher were both men obsessed With justice and crime fighting but they were killerss and the movies themselves were as violent as the characters. Not so the Rocketeer.

Our hero and his mechanic best friend discover a top secret rocket-pak in their hangar. When they learn of its usefulness they decide that it can be used in a get-rich-quick scheme to pay off their bills. So ' together they experiment with the rocket-pak, and before you know it our hero is soaring through the skies. The rocket- pak, however/soon becomes a curse rather than a blessing when gangsters, a killer and a nazi spy all come looking for it with the FBI right behind them. Adventure leads to more adventures as bur hero desperately tries to keep the rocket-pak out of all the villains' clutches and save his girlfriend from the charming yet sinister nazi spy-at the same time. The Rocketeer is the family movie of the summer. It is also one of the most enjoyable movies I've seen in a long time. It's got a good storyline with a likeable hero.

Illegal drug use is waning here A 1989 Statistics Canada survey on illegal drug use showed that 6.5% of the population, age .15 and up, admitted using cannabis (marijuana, hashish, hashish oil) in the previous year. While trend data on illegal drugs is sparse, the indication was that cannabis use had declined. A 1980 survey found that 12% of persons age 18 and over had used the substance, Following are some other facts from the 1989 survey, conducted for Health and Welfare Canada. British Columbians had the highest use of cannabis among all provinces, at 96% of the population age 15 and over, according to a 1989 Statistics Canada survey. Nova Scotia was in second place at 7.4%. The lowest provincial rate of cannabis use was 4.5% in Newfoundland. Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan were next lowest at 4.7% each and Manitoba was at 4.8%. NeW Brunswick stood at 5.7%, Ontario at 5-9% and both Quebec and Alberta at 6.5% OTTAWA - "In some respects, the face of the national capital is bilingual, but there is still room for progress," says the Commissioner y..%l Official Languages, D'lberville Fortier.; A new study by two Quebec university professors concludes that the official languages policy "seems to have produced positive results." Many users of illicit drugs eventually discontinue such use, a Statistics Canada survey indicated. Almost a quarter (23.2%) of all persons age 15 and over reported in 1989 that they had used cannabis at one time but just. 6.5% said they were still users. Similarly, while 3-5% of all persons said they had taken cocaine, only 1.4% were current users. And although 4.1% said they had used LSD, speed or heroin at some time, only 0.4% were current users. Men proved more likely than women to be cannabis users,, according to a 1989 Statistics Canada survey. Among all persons age 15 and over, a total of 8.9% of men reported using cannabis in the survey year compared to 4.1% of women. Among males who identified themselves as current users! of cannabis in a 1989 Statistics Canada survey, 25.6% said they used the drug at least once a week. Among women users, this rate was 15.8%. CO' _\ee\ Fortier says the situation was entirely different 20 years ago. The B and B commission found that "the language and culture of English-speaking Canada predominate there ...

Members will be able to show the skills they learned at this event at the upcoming Achievement Day on July 7. Jurors described the school as "one kind of Canadian architecture at its best" and "a place in which the spirit is elevated." The school is one of the most striking architectural uses to date of Parallam, a 'future o WOOd" prodcuct developed If-vvly MacMillan Bloedel Research. Parallam uses patented technology to transform waste wood trimmings into solid wood beams . and columns that are actually stronger than the original tree. At Seabird Island, Parallam allowed architects to create a highly sculptural building with unusually large and open interior spaces. Seabird Island will be the new home to one of the most progressive native-based education programs in Canada.

In practice, it is a scramble for exam success which favors the rich. Parents try everything from prayer to bribery, while children are fed a gruelling schedule backed by harsh discipline. This spring two court cases, splashed across the front pages of . the Japanese newspapers, were given the sort of prominence that is normally reserved for particulariy gruesome murders. They both concerned ;• school - examination fraud: In one, some administration staff at Meiji University, a private school in Tokyo, had secretly arranged entrance exam stand-ins for two sons of wealthy families. One father had paid 10-million yen (about $30,000) to one Of the fixers. • ":•■ 7 The other police investigation uncovered the' role of kpne (connections) in enrolling boys at an agricultural high school controlled by the local authority. Three teachers had doctored completed papers to make sure 15 well-connected teenagers passed the entrance exam. What was so unusual about these cases was not that the crimes had been committed, but that they had come to court, for it ■is generally accepted that this sort ,r of thing*A. going ori all the tin.e7 To understand .why is to understand the horrendous pressures that lie at the heart of . education in Japan as the country moves inexorably away from meritocracy to a system in which money matters more than anything else. Education is critical to a Japanese child's future - not education in the sensee of a good schooling, but the right schooling. Ambitious students have to accept that the civil' service and large corporations take on fixed quotas of students from specified universities. It goes right through the system. Japanese employers care more about the name of the school than the job applicant's academic record. It is a kind of discrimination which far exceeds ' its equivalent in Great Britain. Failure to secure a university place means being consigned to the .lower rungs of thfe_ employment ladder. If a child is to stand a good chance of entering a prestigious university, he or she miist go to the kind of high school which sends a good proportion of Students to a specific university.. Entry to that school depends on going to a good middle school and that again demands attendance at the right kind of primary school. Small wonder then that well-off paints will pay substantial sums for'extra tuition; that children's schooldays are made up of gruelling schedules of cramming, that mortar-board crime is flourishing and that the Japanese talk of their children fighting an "exam war". AkihtkO and Marifco Shigemi ,wa__t their two children, DaisUke, aged five; and his' sister ,Nami, . two, to. have the same middle-, class/prosperity that their ,paren_s; enjoy. Moreover, they c^. afford to keep their children ou. .of.the : sate• system; and . spare, them, active service.in the ^aim.war,,. They have laid their plans. In 13 years' time they want. Daisuke to. be at the high-status Keio University,'so he can be.-a doctor. >' Nami is to go to Aoyama Gakuin, a 7 feshiorianable private university, which should increase her chances of making a good marriage. Like a score of. other establishments, Keio and Aoyama Gakuin are more than just private universities; they sell a completee range of education, operating their own kindergartens, primary, middle and high schools. This is known as "the escalator system" - c__cesyouye got on, it carries you smoothly up through the different levels.' This less thorny route to the top excludes most Japanese for financial reasons. "Determined parents who have the money can get their kid into any good private University including the best, Waseda, and Keio, provided the kid's not a complete moron," says Ellen Iwasaki, who is researching Japanese education at Tokyo University for an Oxford doctoral thesis. The ; Shigemis put- their daughter , Nami in the f Nikken juku, a crammer specializing in preparing infants for kindergarten or primary, school. Her brother (who failed to qualify for Keio kindergarten) attends cramming classes on two afternoons in Nikken so he can win a place at Keio Primary (only one in nine applicants succeeds). o Entry is complicated by the fact that-the parents have to.take an exam before their children are accepted. "Keio is very concerned that parents have. good characters," explains the Nikken director, Kikuko Fukuda. Both parents are given a formal oral test. The father is, for instance, asked to compare his own kindergarten days with '■ those of today's children. The mother may have to explain the family's education policy. If; parents are anxious about their? chances, then Nikken offers lessons on how to pass this test. The process helps to weed out the children of people the school might consider undesirable, such as property developers or cabaret club owners- Private schooling is expensive. Nikken crammer charges about $600 to register, and then $500 a month. Registration fees, alone for the average private high school are $1,200 and annual fees about £2,500. Private university fees are $i0i_00 without accommodation. Half the high schools in Tokyo are private, and one quarter nationwide. Fukuda says parents believe that cramming schools for•'.' one- to five-year-olds are , a good investment. If you don't buy educational advantage earlier, you have to buy it later, by paying/for tutors. "We i#l. parents that this way(theescalator route). works' out cheaper ii. the long run." Koichiro Ishimori is nearly at the. end of that' Ipng run. Although his parents are well off, they did not plan ahead. and put him on an escalator. He has been forced to craih. He-is. 18 and remembers the day. wljen, as a 12.year-old studying tp;ehter into middle school, he was,.taken by his mother to Yushirna Shrine. Hundreds of odier kyoiku mama (education-mad mothers) . were helping their children to hang up prayer .tablets appealing to the gods to help them through the test. Ishimori's was a private school allowing automatic entry to its associated high school, but it did not give him automatic access to Waseda, ihe smart private university on which he had set his sights. So the next six years of school were augmented by crammers and private tuition. Two years ago, in the run-up to the Waseda entrance exams, his studying intensified. , But, although Koichiro gave up television and rugby, he failed. He will try again this winter, after a year of intense study - including a daily five hours of homework - at three different juku. Koichiro; is noV~ a-, rpnin.. In feudal Japan, that meant a' warrior who had lost his master; today it is used for a pupil who ■ has. failed a university entrance exam and is trying again. He can . do this, only because his father can afford it. About a quarter of university exam candidates are ronin: When free compulsory education ends at 15, even state schools eharge about $750 a year for tuition and that includes expensive school books and uniforms. Education expenses for a family with two school-age children account for a. quarter of the family budget, and this share is increasing. The ris$ of elitist education, raising class consciousness,, seems unstoppable. A barometer of. this trend is the increasing percentage of Tokyo''University students' from private schools. A third of its students came from just 15 elite fiigh schools, 10 of them private. Fcjur .outof every fiyee came, from professional or . executive homes; 7 Bui now these is growing unease about the whole of the country's education -.notably about its effects upon the children. According to a survey of 600.children aged 11 and 12, pupils in Tokyo primary school have such hectic learning , schedulesthat, 8Q percent said they made advance appointments Wim friends when lhey%anted to go out to play; 50 percent said ihey • planned any non-study activities more 'than one week •ahead; 20 percent planned more than one month ahead. - In their last two years of primary school, half these children were so busy preparing for entrance exam to middle school that they said they needed more than 24 hours in a day.. On- average they wanted an extra five hours. Most said they wanted them for,play. A government advisory body which includes respected academics, writers.and corporate executives issued a report earlier this year criticising: , Excessive competition which means exam technique counts for more than ability. . The habit for primary school children to be kept at juku (crammers) until 10 p.m. . The way that equality of opportunity in education was being undermined by the increasing power money plays. . The importance society places on a university education, which depends on ability to pay for private tutoring. . The advantage upper-class children receive from special training for exams, which was denied to less well-off children and those in rural areas. . The ferocious competition for a place in the right university, which robbed children of a normal childhood of sports, hobbies and a social life. . The fact that a majority of the suicides of 218 middle and high school students in 1989 were related to exam pressures. No one can accuse Japan of low educational; standards. Japanese' - ^schoolchildren outscore all -others in international tests. A nation.that has achieved such stunning economic Successes, foreigners assume, must be doing something right in its schools. But the system also, brings .despair to children whose future is blighted by attending a mediocre high school,. Ninety, percent of pupils go on to high1 school, but a growing number are dropping put -a problem virtually unknown in Japan a few years ago. Meanwhile, Japanese companies get what they wani: literate and numerate employees who work hard and obey the rules. But there are worries that the discipline-bound, rigidly- structured system chokes free expression and might endanger industry's efforts to produce original research. It was Naohiro Amaya, former vice-minister of trade and . industry, who wrote so chillingly: "Our present educational system only seems able to turn out inferior versions of robots." - HAMMER* BLOWS -IN CLASSROOM ,7 '/".. A Japanese classroom.strikes a foreign visitor as a haven of calm. But the discipline is achieved by the rigid.7 and sometimes even brutal - 7 enforcement of oppressive and . petty school rules. A school, regime designed,, as the Japanese say, to "hammer down the protruding nail" served Japan's pre-war; authoritarian state well. Regulations were designed to cultivate the concept of automatic obedience to the Emperor, and the old attitudes are dying hard. Ellen Iwasaki, who is married to a Japanese school .teacher, herself taught in a Kyushu high school while writing her Oxford doctorate on education "There's a discipline problem here -not With students, but with teachers," she says. "In my three years I saw things you wouldn't believe. I've seen blood. Teachers assume the right to punish." Indeed, the law forbidding corporal punishment is regularly flouted. In March this year, the Ministry of Justice disclosed that 451 cases between 1985 and 1989 were grave enough to constitute violations of civil liberties. , ■ A horrific case last year in which 15-year-old Ryoko Ishida was crushed by a school gate - slanuned shut by a .teacher because the girl was a second late - caused an outcry and school discipline came under' critical scrut|riy.

New firearms legislation 'dubious1 Members of the B.C. Wildlife Federation (BCWF) firearms committee have mixed feelings over the latest attempt by the federal government to increase gun ownership restrictions. While the committee lends its full support for a mandatory training program, or test, before the granting of a Firearms Acquisition Certificate (FAC) members complain that some parts of the latest Bill are only cosmetic. "We feel that there is no need to restrict, let alone prohibit, ownership of military or paramilitary firearms," says firearms committee chairman, Ralph Charlesworth. There is no justification (except political expediency) for prohibiting a firearm just because it superficially resembles a fully automatic firearm." "It is the position of the BCWF that there is no need for further firearms legislation.* says Otto |J~^__bEkGROVE MEDICALCENTRE NEW NAME MID VALLEY^ MEDICAL <_ENTRE AFTER HOURS MEDICAL CUNIC 27111 FRASER HWY.

THE ALDERGROVE STAR. JULY 4.1991 Cowboys set to glow on cattle VANCOUVER - Cowboys on cattle drives may have to wear fluorescent vests and be. accompanied by trucks with flashing lights under: proposed new government rules, a Canadian cattlemen's group says. Highway officials say they want herds on spring drives and fall roundups escorted; both front arid rear by warning, vehicles, according to British Cloumbia Cattlemen's .'■;■ Association . secretary-manager Lome Leach. "The pickup in the rear will . have a flashing light and say 'Cattle Drive in Progress'," Leach says, adding that cowboys; may not have to scOop up cattle droppings as they cross the highways of this mountainous province. "At least, we do not have to become pooper-scoopers. Under their (government) proposal, all excrement and debris bad to be cleaned up immediately following a drive. That's not always possible," he says. Leach says outriders may have to wear fluorescent. vests and have their bosses cany public liability insurance in Case of highway accidents. - He says the rules,. expected to become highways ministry policy later this year, were making some cowboys increasingly irritated with the bureaucratic interference. "Some cowboys will not be happy. But if we don't have some sort of policy acceptable to us, we could well find some form of regulation which could be far worse," says Leach, whose group represents 2,000 ranchers. Leach says the regulations were designed to meet government concerns about the safety of both the cowboys and the travelling public, but that the need for new rules is sad. "The romance is going, but I guess that's the age we live in," he says. Sharing the wealth ByTOMMlTCHEfr OTTAWA - Redistribution of personal income is one of the aims of the federal government system of taxation and transfer payments to people. Statistics Canada recently released figures on 1989 income before and after tax and transfer. They can provide a measure of the system's efficiency in this The income study divided the population into quihtiles, five : sections ranging from the lowest one-fifth of all incomes to the highest one-fifth. Then it looked at how taxes and transfer payments - programs such as family allowance, old age pensions and unemployment insurance - shifted the share of income among these quintiles. The study showed that, before any tax was assessed or any transfer payments were made, the lowest one-fifth of the population had just 1.2% of all the income and the highest had 47.2%. After the transfer payments were added in and taxation was taken into account, the lowest quintile's share of the total income pie moved up to 5.6% and the top quintile's share was trimmed \ to 40.7& The second lowest quintile moved from 8.7% before any tax-or- transfer adjustment to 11.6% afterward. ■ Since the tendency is toward equality when incomes at the low end are increased and those at the high end are reduced, the figures show that the system moved things in the direction of income equality. . The changes made through taxes and transfers were naturally largest at the upper and lower income extremes, where the differences were greatest. At the exact middle quintile, for example, the change was quite small, from 16.9% of the income pie before any taxes or transfers to 17.6% afterward. Both the money transfers and taxation played their part in the equalization process. In that lowest quintile where the income share was just 1.2% based on income alone, adding in the transfers raised this share to 4.8%. After taxation was taken into account, it moved up another notch to the 5.6% level mentioned earlier. Similarly, the top quintile's share went from 47.2% down to 43.2% with transfer payments in the picture and dropped the next step down to 40.7% after income tax was applied. Which of the two, income . taxes or transfers, was more important in terms of equalization? The study, Income after tax, distributions by size in Canada i (Catalogue 13-210), looked at the tax-and-transfer record from 1971 to 1969. Over those 18 years, government transfer payments played an increasingly more important role in equalization, it said, and there was "little change in the impact of income taxes in reducing income inequality."

Computer control systems already help grainworkers to clean, sort and store grain at several grain terminals in the Port of Vancouver - now there are plans to further automate the movement of wheat from Canadian farmers to foreign buyers. The most ambitious project will convert the Alberta Wheat Pool's aging Burrard Inlet facility into a folly-automated system where all important functions are run by remote control. The refit would be one of the first of its kind in the world (there is only one other fully-automated grain terminal, and it's a brand new building that was specifically designed to be computer- controlled). The development of the new system is shrouded in secrecy - neither the Alberta Wheat Pool or Datap Systems (the Burnaby computer engineering company doing the design work) will discuss specifics beyond confirming that the project will apply large-scale computer automation to the old facility in a bid to substantially improve productivity. But the potential gains in efficiency and lowered operating costs appear substantial, if the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool's experience is any indication. Its less radical refit of its Vancouver terminal has allowed the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool to increase its annual capacity from two million tonnes of grain to 3.5-mUlion. •We're moving more grain without hiring more people," says Saskatchewan Wheat Pool spokesman Keith Broaeder. "What we used to do by changing hardware, we now do by changing software." •Trie of increased efficiency is needed, says Trace Acres, a" spokesman for the Vancouver Port Corporation. The port is expecting the movement of grain to increase as demand from Asian countries like china and Japan increases. "That is where we are forecasting the greatest potential," says Acres. . Port shipped 11.1-million tonnes of grain last year - close to the all-time record of 12.9- million recorded in .1987 just before the prairie drought sent grain yields plunging. Peterson wants to encourage . VICTORIA - Concerns about recent Ontario legislation governing directors' liability prompted Langley MLA Dan Peterson to question the Finance and Corporate Relations Minister about action his ministry is taking. Rising in the Legislature last week, Peterson asked: "Today's Financial Post headline reads on page 1: 'NOP scaring off jobs, investors.' The report goes on to state that the Ontario branch of the Canadian Bar Association believes Ontario legislation with respect to directors' liability will have a major negative impact on investment in the province (Ontario). I'd like to krtow what steps the minister has taken to encourage Toronto-based Canadian companies to relocate to British Columbia?" Finance' Minister John Jansen responded favorably to Peterson' question, "We will ... put significant effort into soliciting business from the' Toronto downtown business community and encourage them to come to British Columbia." Peterson noted, "Ontario's - Bill 70 holds directors and officers of companies and organizations personally liable for employees' back wages, severance, and vacation pay in the event that the company goes bankrupt. "It's interesting that the B.C. NDP have not criticized Ontario's bill. Even just the thought of similar legislation being Centre points students in "Write" direction CHILLIWACK - It's been over, two years since hallway laments about the state of student writing were . converted info . action through the creation of the Fraser Valley College Writing ^Centre. Now the centre is thriving on both college campuses, with over 2,100 student visits recorded this year: The Writing Centre grew out of, and reports to,.the Writing Across 'the Curriculum committee, which started as a way for EVC faculty to shire ideas about using writing in courses and encouraging students to improve their writing. "Faculty in all disciplines shared a concern about. student writing," says Virginia Cooke,. coordinator of the Writing Centre; and one of its founders. "It ranged from, 'Gee, these students cant write a grammatical sentence' to concern that students' writing habits are based, on not believing that their writing had a real purpose or audience." The Writing Centre addresses both those problems and a range of others. It's not a remedial centre - it's aimed at students who are working at all levels in the college. Some students come for help with basic grammar and sentence structure. Others want •help,, with.'..., paper, jrfanriing, development, and organization. A few come in with a 'B+' or 'A' paper and ask how they can improve' their writing even further. Waiting to help them are the two Writing Centre program assistants, Diane Griffiths and Faye Hyndman, who both work at both campuses, as well as faculty with release time to work in the centre, and faculty volunteers from a wide variety of teaching areas. Writing Centre tutors business introduced by the NDP in B.C. sends shivers Up my spine and,. I'm sure, the spine of our business community. With business investment being threatened in Ontario, I'm pleased that our government will be encouraging businesses to move to B.C. And, hopefully those businesses considering a move will not be discouraged by the NDP's apparent agreement With the devasting Ontario bill," Peterson concluded. emphasize to students that staff and volunteers arehf^ there to edit or proofread paper for mistakes -; they try not. to write on the Student's paper at Jail. Rather, they coach students to recognize ' general flaws and Strengths in their writing, as well as grammar ■ mistakes,; and encourage them to think about the writing process. "We try not to build student dependency," says Griffiths, it"s a self-weaning process - we encourage them to take what they need from us and then go out on their own." ' Hyndman echoes Griffiths' sentiments about .empowering students; "I get a great deal of satisfaction out of helping students to find their strengths, and'seeing theih realize that they can go it alone." Philosphy instructor Paul Herman has tutored in the centre since its inception. He finds it a welcome relief from the traditional teacher/student relationship, "It's a very different experience to tutor someone else's students," says Herman. They dont see you as an instructor - that power dynamic isn't there. You both know that you weft-1 be marking the work. The students see the centre as a neutral ground." Herman recommends the tutoring experience, it's not like , simply have extra office hours - it's quite a different experience. It brings me into closer contact with the writing process than I am with my own students." Pat Hultman recendy returned to college after, working for 18 years as a track driver. "The people at the Writing Centre allowed me to ease back into university writing," says Hultman, who plans to be a teacher. "They provided me with assistance, advice, confidence and most importantly, someone to bounce my ideas off."" The Writing Centre is now! firmly established on both campuses, although Cooke would like to see Chilliwack! established in a "room of its; own" and offering the computer"; tutoring programs and other, resources that Abbotsford does. Cooke is also pleased with the importance that faculty are placing on writing. "When students see the. emphasis placed on writing, they get the idea that they can't just save writing for their English classes." _■ —i ______ ■P THE ALDERGROVE STAR.

It's unlikely that it was the golden eagle that flies in to feed because it killed a large gosling days before. The eagle leaves the spoils on the ground because the gosling was too large for the eagle to fly with. The eagle customarily feeds at the game farm and always cleans up the kill, sometimes feasting up to four days on the one gosling or duck. It is believed a human probably stole the ostrich as an adult is worth $15,000. However, they are difficult to raise without knowledge of the raising of these over theft birds. Too much • protein will cause weak legs for the' large body and an altogether sickly bird. Anyone, seeing the bkd can contact the game farm or RCMP. If the ostrich is returned, no questions will be asked.

GVRD considering program for reporting smoking vehicles. VANCOUVER - Ever been driving behind a vehicle that's belching clouds of smoke from its tailpipe? Ever wanted to complain about it but didn't know who to call, or for that matter, what could be done about tt? The Greater Vancouver Regional District is consdering introducing a program in the lower mainland similar to Los Angeles!- smoking vehicle program. The L.A. program provides a toll-free telephone number for area residents to report motorists who pollute. A letter is then sent out to the offending vehicle's owner advising them that their car or light buck doesn't operate within vehicle-emission guidelines and that it should be repaired. They are requested to fill out a form and attach proof of repair and return it. Over 20,000 calls a month are made to the LA: reporting centre. "It's - been a successful program for the LA. area with a high rate of public participation both in the reporting of offending vehicles and in people fixing up their cars when they get the letters," says the GVRD's air quality committee chairperson Doug Drummond. "We face many of the same air quality problems as LA. here in the lower mainland," says Drummond. "Sixty-eight percent - of our air pollution comes from cars and small trucks. A program like this, in conjunction with the province's upcoming AirCare vehicle-emission testing program could make a real difference in the quality of our air. • "The smoking vehicle program would be a step towards fulfilling the goals of the GVRD's 'Creating Our Future' program, to reduce total emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides, • particulates, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds by SO percent by the year 2000." Ihe board has asked staff to look into the feasibility and costs of running a smoking vehicle program in the region and report back. Homeowners and the Compensation Board The Woiters' Compensation Board bt JB.Q, CWCB) has a word of advice fo^ any .homeowner' who'is aboutto, acty'as hisioryhft owiv contractor -protect yourself ':.by\ checking tcj -'see. if7your subtrades are registered with the; WCB. ..'••;■;■■•.'.•. If the cost of labour and materials for your home building project or renovation exceeds $5,000, the homeowner may be considered to be an employer. That means if the subtrades you hire are. not registered with the WCB,ybu could be liable for the cost of WCB coveirage on your project. , Case in point: A B.C. couple who built a new home for themselvs last year. They, assumed - the tradesmen, they hired i would take care of everything, including registration with ihe Workers' Compensation Board, but- they didn't confirm that/atf with the WCB. During construction, a worker was. taken to hospital \ with an injury .to hjs hand,, The couple o faiftd out about the injury several weeks later when they received a letter from the WCB; informing them that the self-employed worker wasn't registered. In such a case, the homeowner can potentially be liable for all costs associated with the injury including wage loss, medical treatment and assessments. Barney Biggs.._the.- F.CJB's manager of assessment policy, says it's not uncommon to see up to 100 situations of this type a year. "Many homeowners are unaware they are responsible for ensuring that all subcontractors are registerd with the WCB," says Biggs. "If the subtrade is not registered and the cost of labour and materials for the whole project totals more than $5,000, then the homeowner may be considered to be the employer and as such, responsible for WCB coverage," Checking a subtrade's registration status is a simple process requiring only a quick phone call to the WCB. The caller will be told if the contractor is registered and whether or not his assessment payments are up to date. If the payments have lapsed, the homeowner could be found liable for any outstanding assessment payments while the renovation project is underway. "Before you allow any contractor to work on your home, make sure you get a letter of clearance concerning that contractor's status from the WCB,'' says Biggs. "You could be avoiding a potential liability if a worker is injured." Homeonwers can dial direct for "clearances" at 276-3080 and for "employer registration" 'at 276-3082. Outside the lower mainland, calls can be made toll- free by dialing 1-800-972-9972 and asking for the specific deparmertt. ° TTrn. ;WGB has produced a brochure titled ."Homeowners and the WCB" which is available free of charge through building supply stores, municipal license Offices or by calling the WCB. Teal takes strides lor stroke VANCOUVER - Researchers in the front lines of the battle against heart disease and stroke got a $3.4-million boost this year thanks to your contributions to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC and Yukon On Juhe 15, the foundation is planning to "Strike Back Against Stroke" with a one-day fundraising blitz so as to V continue to support such worthwhile projects. This is one example of stroke research currently being funded by the foundation. When neurologist Dr. Phillip Teal returns to Vancouver from Boston in July of 1992, stroke patients across B.C and Yukon will have something to cheer about. Funded in part by the foundation, the Vancouver-based - physician '■" is. completing an intensive .; 16-month clinical stroke fellowship at the prestigious - New England Medical -. Centre at Tuft's University. "Next year,,Teal will bring his expertise back 7 to Vancouver to join Dr. Yiripent Sweeney in leading stroke investigation at * 'Vancouver General Hospital. : "There are so many exciting developments in stroke medicine right now," says Teal. T'm realty looking fowaid to getting back to Vancouver to help put in place an even better stroke seivice." 'Sweeney and Teal have .jointly applied to estabish a stroke unit at VGH when Teal's training is complete. The facility would standardize the treatment of stroke patients throughout the hospkaJ.' Sweeney emphasizes that the care given stroke patients at VGH right now is very good, but might be improved by the consistency a stroke unit would offer. "Right now it's a bit random - some patients are on the general medical wards while the , more complicated cases end up in the neurology service," says Sweeney. "We'd like to establish a unit that may not only improve care but would introduce protocols and procedures that could be modelled elsewhere in ^fpiar . the hospital," He adds that Teal's specialized training will promote a lot more interest in both stroke care and clinical research to improve patients' chances of recovery. Under the guidance of Drs. Louis Caplan arid Michael Pessin Boston, Teal is involved in a ' number of clinical research projects which attempt to define stroke patterns and causes. He is currently participating in two therapeutic drug trials: one involves dissolving blood clots in order to prevent strokes from occurring and the other attempts to reduce the extent of brain damage in a stroke. "With Teal's background, strengths, and training, he'll bring back to Vancouver experience that can't help but benefit stroke patients at VGH and throughout the province," SWeeney says. Stroke - the common tenia for ? the damage resulting from an interruption of blood flow to the brain, is the third leading cause of death in Canada and a major source of disability. Every year 40,000 Canadians have strokes, and in 1989 strokes claimed 14,000 lives in this country. Only about one third of stroke victims ever recover fully and return to normal lives; another third are moderately impaired, and the remaining third will be severely .disabled and -dependent - on others for the rest of their lives. With its recent name change from the Heart Foundation, the Heart and Stroke Foundation has renewed its dedication to the . prevention and relief of stroke. According to the chairman of the foundation's research policy committee, Dr. Vic Huckell, this is an essential step. "Stroke is one of the most common debilitating diseases known to humanity yet there is tantalizing new research to suggest that we can be more successful in preventing it from occurring- "We need the continued research and investigation that the Heart and Stroke Foundation provides to prove that this is so." $6 Planting a Butterfly Garden How would yoii like to tarn your garden into a beautiful butterfly paradise? It's really quite simple. All you need to . do is grow the right kinds of plants ~ the butterflies do the rest of the work!
