MAKING EYE CONTACT with this massive coin collection is Bobbi Bym<strong>an</strong>, a<br />
grade 11 student at Correlieu Senior Secondary school. Now that people are<br />
becoming interested in the rising value of gold <strong>an</strong>d silver, those who find those<br />
costs prohibitive might do well to raid your piggyb<strong>an</strong>ks. It could be worth it.<br />
Gold too expensive? Try your piggy b<strong>an</strong>k<br />
By Ruth Scoullar<br />
Could it be that you have<br />
much more in your piggy b<strong>an</strong>k'<br />
th<strong>an</strong> you thought you had?<br />
In the book Coins of C<strong>an</strong>ada<br />
by Haxby <strong>an</strong>d Willey, it seems<br />
that even certain pennies<br />
could be worth considerably<br />
more th<strong>an</strong> one cent.<br />
If you find a "53 penny with<br />
a shoulder fold it could be<br />
worth 60 cents to $1.00<br />
depending on the condition. In<br />
fact some of them up to the<br />
year '64 could be worth as<br />
much as $15 if uncirculated.<br />
As there were fewer released<br />
from the mint with no<br />
shoulder fold evident between<br />
'53 <strong>an</strong>d '64 it makes them<br />
more valuable.<br />
A '55 C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> one-cent<br />
piece could bring $15 to $80<br />
again depending on the condition.<br />
A '67 Confederation<br />
commemorative penny was<br />
valued at 5 cents when this<br />
book was written in 1972.<br />
Then take a look at the<br />
nickels. A C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> 5 cent<br />
issued in '53 with no shoulder<br />
folds brings 15 cents to $2.75.<br />
If you find a '53 nickel with<br />
shoulder folds it is worth 25<br />
cents to $5.00 depending<br />
again on condition.<br />
One of '54 is valued at 25<br />
cents to $4.75 <strong>an</strong>d a '55 piece<br />
now brings 10 cents to $3.75 in<br />
uncirculated condition.<br />
Certain dimes too, are<br />
worth taking a closer look at.<br />
A '37 C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> ten-cent piece<br />
with the small date may be<br />
worth from $1.75 to $15 <strong>an</strong>d a<br />
'47 dime with a maple leaf has<br />
a value of 20 cents to $7.00.<br />
With the scarcity > of '48<br />
maple leaf dimes they are<br />
worth $3.50 to $35 <strong>an</strong>d those<br />
issued between '49 <strong>an</strong>d '52 net<br />
20 cents to $3.50,<br />
If no shoulder fold is found<br />
on a '53 dime, 20 cents to<br />
$3.50, <strong>an</strong>d dimes issued '53<br />
<strong>an</strong>d '54 with folds bring 25<br />
cents to $5.50, 15 cents to<br />
$2.00 for '55 but slightly less<br />
for the ones minted a year<br />
later.<br />
When the C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> dimes<br />
ch<strong>an</strong>ged the silver content<br />
<strong>an</strong> uncirculated '67 is now<br />
worth 20 cents but a '53 dime<br />
with shoulder fold is 40 cents<br />
to $5.50, a '54 dime could be<br />
worth 45 cents td $12 <strong>an</strong>d a '55<br />
ten cent piece with shoulder<br />
fold may bring 40 cents to<br />
$4.75.<br />

<strong>Lawyers</strong> <strong>'sell</strong> <strong>an</strong> <strong>unattractive</strong> <strong>product</strong><br />
9<br />
By Gordon Hardy<br />
"Our wr<strong>an</strong>gling lawyers are<br />
so....busy here on earth, that I<br />
think they will plead their<br />
clients' causes hereafter,<br />
some of them in hell."-Robert<br />
Burton<br />
A prominent V<strong>an</strong>couver<br />
criminal defence lawyer,<br />
fLAD. Oliver, once described<br />
his line of work as "selling<br />
a somewhat <strong>unattractive</strong><br />
<strong>product</strong> to 12 unwilling<br />
purchasers."<br />
The 12 "purchasers", of<br />
course, are the jurors who<br />
must judge his clients, some<br />
of whom have been accused of<br />
pushing hard drugs.<br />
Oliver was one of ten top<br />
national defence lawyers<br />
identified by The C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong><br />
Magazine in <strong>an</strong> informal poll<br />
of judges, lawyers <strong>an</strong>d criminals<br />
who were asked, "If you<br />
were in big trouble - murder,<br />
rape, heavy fraud, drug peddling<br />
or whatever - who would<br />
you get to defend you?"<br />
If the legal profession had a<br />
star system, Oliver, as well as<br />
other successful criminal defence<br />
lawyers, would be the<br />
stars. They are the performers<br />
whose courtroom eloquence<br />
c<strong>an</strong> make the difference<br />
between a guilty <strong>an</strong>d a<br />
non-guilty verdict in cases<br />
that h<strong>an</strong>g in bal<strong>an</strong>ce.<br />
Of course, as with <strong>an</strong>y other<br />
perform<strong>an</strong>ce, there are usual-<br />
Septic t<strong>an</strong>ks<br />
by m<strong>an</strong>y hours of preparation<br />
behind <strong>an</strong>y courtroom, appear<strong>an</strong>ce,<br />
though it may<br />
appear effortlessly smooth.<br />
People are often <strong>an</strong>gry that<br />
defence lawyers like Oliver do<br />
such a good job at defending<br />
criminals. Another V<strong>an</strong>couver<br />
defence lawyer, Rod Holloway,<br />
explains how lawyers<br />
themselves feel about defending<br />
the guilty:<br />
"A lawyer's job in the legal<br />
system is not to judge his<br />
client—that's the court's job,"<br />
he says. 'They ensure that<br />
the client gets the protection<br />
of the law. The law says that<br />
the duty falls to the Crown to<br />
prove the case beyond a<br />
reasonable doubt."<br />
"<strong>Lawyers</strong> who do have<br />
trouble giving their advice to<br />
someone whose conduct may<br />
be morally reprehensible<br />
don't practice in those areas,"<br />
he adds. "They choose something<br />
else."<br />
The defence lawyer's opponent<br />
is the Crown prosecutor,<br />
also a lawyer, whose<br />
job is to org<strong>an</strong>ize the case<br />
against the accused. Government<br />
salaries for Crown prosecutors<br />
are often lower th<strong>an</strong><br />
earnings of a senior defence<br />
lawyer so m<strong>an</strong>y prosecutors<br />
tend to be young <strong>an</strong>d less<br />
experienced.<br />
In tough cases, though, the<br />
government may temporarily<br />
hire older <strong>an</strong>d more experienced<br />
lawyers to act as Crown<br />
prosecutors.<br />
Even though Crown prosecutors<br />
have a high conviction<br />
rate, these often overworked<br />
<strong>an</strong>d understaffed public serv<strong>an</strong>ts<br />
somehow are denied the<br />
glamor that m<strong>an</strong>tles the<br />
shoulders of a successful<br />
defence lawyer. No one ever<br />
cheered the district attorney<br />
on the Perry Mason show.<br />
Fern<strong>an</strong>d Cote, a senior<br />
Montreal Crown prosecutor<br />
named in <strong>an</strong> informal poll as<br />
one of C<strong>an</strong>ada's top prosecutors,<br />
told in <strong>an</strong> interview a<br />
few years ago of a case where<br />
a judge had forbidden him to<br />
bring up the name of a Mafia<br />
chief as a friend <strong>an</strong>d helper of<br />
three accused murderers.<br />
Cote cleverly bypassed the<br />
order by calling the Mafia<br />
m<strong>an</strong> as a witness. The g<strong>an</strong>gster<br />
never, appeared - <strong>an</strong>d<br />
probably wasn't intended to -<br />
but the jury had not failed to<br />
notice the connection. It convicted.<br />
"It's funny," Cote' commented.<br />

tactic like that <strong>an</strong>d it's called<br />

Keep that system working<br />
By Glen Smith<br />
Public Health Inspector<br />
Septic t<strong>an</strong>ks are one of<br />
those unmentionable things<br />
that we don't like to think<br />
about until something goes<br />
wrong. Unfortunately, when<br />
something does go wrong<br />
with a sewage disposal system,<br />
it c<strong>an</strong> be a serious health<br />
hazard as well as a headache.<br />
Most people do not completely<br />
underst<strong>an</strong>d the operation<br />
of their sewage disposal<br />
systems. Contrary to popular<br />
belief, septic t<strong>an</strong>ks do not<br />
accomplish a very high level<br />
of sewage treatment <strong>an</strong>d do<br />
not remove disease producing<br />
bacteria <strong>an</strong>d viruses.<br />
The main purpose of the<br />
septic t<strong>an</strong>k is to condition<br />
sewage by bacterial action to<br />
reduce (not prevent) clogging<br />
of the disposal field. The<br />
purpose of the disposal field is<br />
to distribute the treated sewage<br />
with reasonable uniformity<br />
into the soil.<br />
Most sewage disposal system<br />
failures c<strong>an</strong> be attributed<br />
to clogging of drainfields.<br />
Partial or complete clogging<br />
of <strong>an</strong>y drain field usually c<strong>an</strong><br />
be expected after a period of<br />
10 to 15 years. However, the<br />
life of a sewage disposal<br />
system may be much shorter<br />
in areas of poor soil porosity<br />
or where septic t<strong>an</strong>k<br />
maint<strong>an</strong><strong>an</strong>ce is neglected.<br />
Most premature sewage<br />
disposal system failures c<strong>an</strong><br />
be avoided by having a septic<br />
t<strong>an</strong>k cle<strong>an</strong>ing firm remove<br />
accumulated sludge every two<br />
or three years. This small<br />
investment could save a great<br />
deal of grief <strong>an</strong>d hundreds of<br />
dollars.<br />
Here are a few tips for the<br />
efficient operation of your<br />
sewage disposal system:<br />
•Don't allow <strong>an</strong>y vehicular<br />
traffic over <strong>an</strong>y part of the<br />
disposal system.<br />
•Don't permit roof water,<br />
storm water, surface water or<br />
foundation drainage to discharge<br />
into the t<strong>an</strong>k or onto<br />
the disposal field.<br />
•Don't use substitutes for<br />
toilet paper. Paper towels,<br />
newspapers <strong>an</strong>d wrappings<br />
may cause blockages <strong>an</strong>d may<br />
not break down in the septic<br />
t<strong>an</strong>k.<br />
•Normal usage of disinfect<strong>an</strong>ts<br />
<strong>an</strong>d bleach will not affect<br />
the operation of the septic<br />
t<strong>an</strong>k. However, excessive usage<br />
of these compounds<br />
should be avoided.<br />
•Maintain a healthy lawn<br />
over the disposal field. .<br />
•In winter encourage a<br />
snow bl<strong>an</strong>ket over the disposal<br />
field.<br />
•Sludge sticking to the<br />
inside of a t<strong>an</strong>k that has just<br />
been pumped out has a<br />
seeding effect <strong>an</strong>d assists in<br />
renewing the bacterial activity.<br />
Therefore, do not scrub<br />
the t<strong>an</strong>k cle<strong>an</strong>.<br />

A V<strong>an</strong>couver Crown prose-'<br />
cutor, Arm<strong>an</strong>d Petronio, says<br />
he prefers prosecution to<br />
defending clients because it<br />
allows him to see more to the<br />
interests of justice th<strong>an</strong> to the<br />
specific interests of a client.<br />
"A defence counsel's task is<br />
to get his client off the hook,"<br />
he says. "But a prosecutor c<strong>an</strong><br />
look at the whole picture. He<br />
decides whether to go ahead<br />
with the prosecution, or whether<br />
to drop the charges or<br />
get a stay of proceedings."<br />
Trial lawyers, Holloway says,<br />
have a very irregular lifestyle<br />
due to their work: "Something<br />
is always happening to<br />
prevent a regular kind of life.<br />
You have to interview witnesses<br />
at odd hours. You work<br />
through your weekends."<br />
He says lack of a regular<br />
social life <strong>an</strong>d recreation<br />
me<strong>an</strong>s that some lawyers seek<br />
relaxation in bars <strong>an</strong>d lounges.<br />
A number develop alcohol<br />
problems.<br />
In order to avoid this <strong>an</strong>d<br />
other inconveniences, m<strong>an</strong>y<br />
lawyers avoid the practice of<br />
criminal law. Some choose<br />
instead to become "house" or<br />
corporation lawyers. No<br />
L.<br />
glamor here but good money,<br />
regular hours <strong>an</strong>d cle<strong>an</strong> work.<br />
As business life <strong>an</strong>d government<br />
fine print become<br />
more complex, big comp<strong>an</strong>ies<br />
need more <strong>an</strong>d more lawyers<br />
to guide them through it.<br />
According ,to John Wright,<br />
general counsel for C<strong>an</strong>ada<br />
Perm<strong>an</strong>ent, comp<strong>an</strong>y law has<br />
other satisfactions:<br />
"In comp<strong>an</strong>y law, you see a<br />
problem - <strong>an</strong>d c<strong>an</strong> often<br />
prevent it - before it hatches,<br />
whereas in private practice<br />
you get the problem after it's<br />
full-blown," he said in a 1976<br />
interview.<br />
Some lawyers serve clients<br />
in the area of civil law. This is<br />
the area of law that doesn't<br />
involve criminal matters <strong>an</strong>d<br />
includes administering wills,<br />
the purchase of property,<br />
h<strong>an</strong>dling lawsuits for damages<br />
<strong>an</strong>d so on.<br />
Other lawyers choose family<br />
law over criminal law,<br />
which may be like jumping<br />
out of the frying p<strong>an</strong> into the<br />
fire. Family law seems to<br />
inflame passions like no other<br />
area.<br />
V<strong>an</strong>couver Sun columnist<br />
Marjorie Nichols recently<br />
quoted a judge in this regard<br />
as saying "if you see a lawyer<br />
under police escort in the<br />
province of Ontario, you c<strong>an</strong><br />
safely bet your lunch money<br />
that the lawyer probably is a<br />
specialist in matters of the<br />
family."<br />

Women who are over 38<br />
years old have a subst<strong>an</strong>tially<br />
increased ch<strong>an</strong>ce of delivering<br />
children who are mentally<br />
retarded, according to Professor<br />
Stephen Wood, of the<br />
department of medical genetics<br />
at UBC.<br />
Wood was,in Quesnel February<br />
15 conducting a workshop<br />
for Junior <strong>an</strong>d Senior<br />
Secondary Science teachers<br />
during professional development<br />
day. He spoke about,<br />
disorders in chromosomes<br />
which cause inherited hum<strong>an</strong><br />
defects.<br />
Wood told the Observer<br />
that women over 38 are more<br />
likely to have children with<br />
the mentally retarded defect<br />
known as Down Syndrome.<br />
"It is possible," said Wood,<br />
"to diagnose the defect prenataliy<br />
at 16 or 17 weeks of<br />
gestation."<br />
The disorder is caused by<br />
<strong>an</strong> extra chromosome. . The<br />
normal hum<strong>an</strong> has 46 chromosomes<br />
but the victim of Down<br />
Syndrome has 47.<br />

preventing it. What we c<strong>an</strong> do<br />

Pro-life Society<br />
Jim Girvin, president of the<br />
• Quesnel Pro-Life Society,<br />
opened the February meeting<br />
with <strong>an</strong> interesting talk on<br />
abortion.<br />
He also explained that the<br />
Pro-Life Society is a non-sectari<strong>an</strong>,<br />
Non-profit society<br />
whose members are dedicated<br />
to upholding the dignity of<br />
hum<strong>an</strong> life <strong>an</strong>d reject the<br />
<strong>an</strong>ti-life philosophy which offers<br />
death as a solution to<br />
hum<strong>an</strong> problems. To help<br />
people become aware of some<br />
of the very serious consequences<br />
of abortion, George<br />
MacKenzie offered to investigate<br />
the possibility of obtaining<br />
films on abortion, inf<strong>an</strong>ticide,<br />
child abuse <strong>an</strong>d euth<strong>an</strong>asia<br />
for viewing on the local .<br />
T.V. station.<br />
It was also decided to<br />
participate in the <strong>an</strong>nual trade<br />
Fair as well as consider<br />
participating in the Billy<br />
Barker Days. A membership<br />

take place in the near future.<br />

to the professor, where<br />
there is <strong>an</strong> "ultra-sound"<br />

Wood also discussed singlegene<br />
defects. He said there<br />
are three methods of inherited<br />
defects. Either the parents<br />
already have the defects<br />
<strong>an</strong>d tr<strong>an</strong>sfer them, or normal<br />
parents are carriers, or the<br />
inherited defect is "sex linked"<br />
such as hemophilia where<br />
only males are affected.<br />
"Parents with defects have<br />
a 50 per cent ch<strong>an</strong>ce of<br />
producing a defective child,"<br />
Wood said. "In the second<br />
case we have normal parents<br />
who are carriers of the same<br />

"We all carry a certain<br />

he explained. "These genes<br />
are capable of producing<br />
disease. So if by ch<strong>an</strong>ce a<br />
couple who have the same<br />
recessive gene marry each<br />
other, there is a greater<br />
ch<strong>an</strong>ce of having a child with a<br />

It was Wood's first visit to<br />

the teachers to be genuinely<br />

One of the highlights of the<br />
25th <strong>an</strong>nual Ice Carnival hosted<br />
by the Quesnel Figure<br />
Skating Club last weekend<br />
was the appear<strong>an</strong>ce of the<br />
Western C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> Novice<br />
Pairs Champions of 1980.<br />
Bonnie Epp <strong>an</strong>d Leonard<br />
Austm<strong>an</strong> were in Quesnel as<br />
guest skaters at the local ice<br />
show.<br />
Fourteen-year old Epp has<br />
been skating for nine years,<br />
while Austm<strong>an</strong>, 19, has been<br />
performing for 12 years. The<br />
pair have been skating together<br />
for six months <strong>an</strong>d in that<br />
time have captured the Western<br />
C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> title in their<br />
division <strong>an</strong>d placed second in<br />
the C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong>s in Kitchener,<br />
Ontario, last month.<br />
The skaters also compete<br />
mdividually in their respective<br />
singles classes.<br />
Preparation for both does<br />
not come without some commitment<br />
on the part of the<br />
skaters. Epp explained that to<br />
get ready for competition<br />
they would spend 42 hours<br />
per week learning, practicing,<br />
polishing the material they<br />
present to the judges.<br />
In addition to the time<br />
spent practicing on the ice,<br />
Epp <strong>an</strong>d Austm<strong>an</strong> also exercise<br />
<strong>an</strong>d jog to keep in top<br />
physical condition to meet the<br />
rigors imposed on them by<br />
their sport.<br />
The exercises they do at<br />
home are for both flexibility<br />
<strong>an</strong>d strength. Epp supplements<br />
these workouts with<br />
ballet <strong>an</strong>d Austm<strong>an</strong> does<br />
weight-training.<br />
It took about three weeks<br />
to put together the program<br />
they skated at the C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong>s<br />
<strong>an</strong>d <strong>an</strong>other four months to<br />
polish their perform<strong>an</strong>ce.<br />
During that time the pair<br />
continued to alter the pattern<br />
<strong>an</strong>d smooth things out.<br />
"We're always adding little<br />
moves here <strong>an</strong>d there,"<br />
Austm<strong>an</strong> explained.<br />
"We keep working on new<br />
things," Epp added, "<strong>an</strong>d<br />
every time we get a new move<br />
then we put that in."<br />
They do not limit themselves<br />
to only learning <strong>an</strong>d<br />
perfecting a single program.<br />
Instead, they work on two<br />
different presentations in<br />
pairs <strong>an</strong>d two for their<br />
individual singles events, as<br />
well as two short programs<br />
for pairs <strong>an</strong>d also for singles, a<br />
total of six programs each.<br />
Despite the complexities of<br />
these programs, the skaters<br />
say they do not get confused<br />
or mix the program contents<br />
up.<br />
Epp <strong>an</strong>d Austm<strong>an</strong> skate out<br />
of different winter clubs. A<br />
native of Abbotsford, Epp<br />
now skates out of the North<br />
Shore Winter Club <strong>an</strong>d Austm<strong>an</strong>,<br />
who is originally from<br />
Yorkton, Sas., practices at<br />
Hollyburn Country Club.<br />
"We skate at both clubs,"<br />
Austm<strong>an</strong> explained their getting<br />
together as a pairs<br />
combination. The duo skate<br />
under the watchful eyes of<br />
Bri<strong>an</strong> Power <strong>an</strong>d Rob Dick.<br />
Skating in the C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong><br />
championships was <strong>an</strong> experience<br />
both of them appreciate,<br />
although they admitted the<br />
pressure was greater th<strong>an</strong><br />
<strong>an</strong>ything they had experienced<br />
previously.<br />
Epp recalled that she was ill<br />
with the flu on the day they<br />
competed in the national<br />
championships in Kitchener.<br />
Despite that the pair m<strong>an</strong>aged<br />
to nail down second spot in<br />
the competitions.<br />
Although their future is not<br />
clear, Austm<strong>an</strong> admitted the<br />
pair would remain ' skating<br />
together, "for a while, <strong>an</strong>yway."<br />
DEATH SPIRAL. Leonard Austm<strong>an</strong> lowers Bonnie Epp down into a stunningly low death<br />
spiral during one of their appear<strong>an</strong>ces in the 25th <strong>an</strong>nual Ice Carnival hosted by the Quesnel<br />
Figure Skating Crab last weekend. Epp <strong>an</strong>d Austm<strong>an</strong> are the reigning Western C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong><br />
Do well in zones<br />
Novice Pairs Champions <strong>an</strong>d placed second in the C<strong>an</strong>adi<strong>an</strong> championships last month. The<br />
pair, as guest skaters for the carnival, delighted audiences Friday <strong>an</strong>d Saturday evening with<br />
their pairs <strong>an</strong>d individual programs. More photos on page 13.<br />

SIDELINES<br />
by<br />
Jo-<strong>an</strong>ne Jefferson<br />
I thought the age of heroes was dead, but the way things<br />
have been going these last few weeks, it looks like I've been<br />
dead wrong. And I couldn't be more pleased.<br />
The Olympics have always had winners, <strong>an</strong>d in some cases<br />
even champions, although the two are not necessarily<br />
synonymous. But true sports heroes are rare <strong>an</strong>d their<br />
appear<strong>an</strong>ce on the scene definitely the exception rather th<strong>an</strong><br />
the rule.<br />
With the true sports hero, the personality of the individual<br />
does not have to have mass public appeal. He does not have to<br />
be liked, but it helps. One thing that c<strong>an</strong>not be denied,<br />
however, is the ability of the hero, because he has proven<br />
himself beyond doubt.<br />
One could say Gordie Howe is a sports hero, or H<strong>an</strong>k Aaron.<br />
You could probably even say Muhammed Ali <strong>an</strong>d Pele were'<br />
sports heroes. And I don't think you would be too far wrong if<br />
you were to add the name Eric Heiden to that list.<br />
In the last week or more at the Lake Placid Olympics, the<br />
Americ<strong>an</strong> speedskater has done for his sport what Nadia<br />
Com<strong>an</strong>eci did for gymnastics, Bruce Jenner did for track <strong>an</strong>d<br />
field <strong>an</strong>d Karen Magnussen did for figure skating. He has<br />
brought it into the public eye.<br />
But Heiden has done more th<strong>an</strong> win medals <strong>an</strong>d break world<br />
records. He has easily become the most talked-about performer<br />
at the 1980 Winter Games. The media const<strong>an</strong>tly refer to him as<br />
the superm<strong>an</strong> on skates, <strong>an</strong>d the ironm<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d the machine.<br />
Those titles are fine in one sense, but they tend to remove<br />
the hum<strong>an</strong>ness of Eric Heiden. The thing that has impressed<br />
me almost as much as his gold medal perform<strong>an</strong>ces is the way<br />
he admits toj>ain.<br />
Winning hurts <strong>an</strong>d it doesn't come without resisting the<br />
inevitable pain of the effort. More often th<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>ything else it is<br />
<strong>an</strong> athlete's inability to meet the pain of exertion <strong>an</strong>d overcome<br />
it that causes defeat rather th<strong>an</strong> the abilities of opponents.<br />
Heiden seems to have learned the best way to master his pain<br />
<strong>an</strong>d come out the winner. Because of that he has earned the<br />
respect of his fellow competitors <strong>an</strong>d the awe of those who<br />
watch him perform.<br />
And so far, because he has not made himself readily available<br />
to the public via the various forms of media, Heiden has<br />
somehow been elevated even higher th<strong>an</strong> the top part of the<br />
winner's podium. He is well on his way to becoming <strong>an</strong><br />
Americ<strong>an</strong> hero.<br />
^.....;<br />
What the heck, I think he deserves it. I've enjoyed<br />
him skate on the telecasts <strong>an</strong>d thought, not without^Rn^<br />
wistfulness, wished that I could be attending the Games to' ste<br />
it happening.<br />
If Heiden c<strong>an</strong> be a hero to folks, all the better; Heroes serve' a<br />
useful purpose. They give us something to believe in in these<br />
days of uncertainty. They give us something to look up to, <strong>an</strong>d<br />
hopefully, they endure in this throw-away society we live in<br />
today.<br />
And, if Heiden turns out to have feet of clay, there's always<br />
<strong>an</strong>other idol just waiting to be discovered somewhere.<br />
There always is.

Peewee tourney slated<br />
Don't count Quesnel out of race<br />
Early predictions are calling<br />
Fort St. John as the team<br />
to beat in the fourth <strong>an</strong>nual<br />
Quesnel Minor Hockey association<br />
peewee house tournament,<br />
but don't count the two<br />
Quesnel representatives out<br />
of the running either.<br />
The Fort St. John peewees<br />
will be the defending champions<br />
when they play in the six<br />
team, round-robin event slated<br />
for March 29 <strong>an</strong>d 30.<br />
Quesnel will have two<br />
teams representing the city in<br />
the event, boys selected from<br />
the QMHA peewee house<br />
league. The two teams, Weldwood<br />
<strong>an</strong>d Keis Trucking will<br />
join the squads from V<strong>an</strong>derhoof,<br />
Williams Lake <strong>an</strong>d 100<br />
Mile House, as well as the<br />
defending Fort St. John entry.<br />
Wayne Broussear will be<br />
coaching the Weldwood team<br />
with Don Gook as m<strong>an</strong>ager.<br />
Al Scholpp will be the assist<strong>an</strong>t<br />
coach to Darryl McCaw,<br />
head pilot for Keis Trucking.<br />
Len Doerksen is the m<strong>an</strong>ager<br />
of the club.<br />
Local businesses have donated<br />
trophies, medals <strong>an</strong>d<br />
various other supports to the<br />
event.<br />
The teams from Quesnel<br />
were selected from lists of<br />
four definite players <strong>an</strong>d four<br />
alternate players drawn up by<br />
the house league coaches. The<br />
boys were invited to try out<br />
for the house rep teams <strong>an</strong>d<br />
through the process of elimination,<br />
the coaches formulated<br />
their rosters.<br />
Weldwood has a few skaters<br />
who could be expected to<br />
turn in good perform<strong>an</strong>ces.<br />
Kyle Lorentson, Rodney<br />
Dallm<strong>an</strong>, Rob Clarke <strong>an</strong>d<br />
George Bell are all players<br />
Brousseau will be counting on<br />
to help out.<br />

solid perform<strong>an</strong>ces from.<br />

co-ordinator of the tournament,<br />
with Carl Kolody as his<br />

in charge of arr<strong>an</strong>ging billets<br />
for the out-of-town players.<br />
If players remember -the<br />

the first part, it would be safe<br />
to say the 100 Mile House<br />
Blazers will , associate fourpoint<br />

For the second time in as<br />

four points in a single<br />
,.; game.<br />
Moore scored three goals<br />
Wednesday <strong>an</strong>d assisted on<br />
one other to pace the Mil-<br />

visiting Blazers before a sparse<br />
hometown crowd.<br />

Millionaires open up a threegoal<br />
'alead after the first 20<br />

Moore scored first with a<br />

the game, a backh<strong>an</strong>der off<br />
thestick of Dumaine, the play<br />

reasons why the Blazers have<br />

their 7-2 loss.<br />
"If we'd had some better<br />

Quesnel's coach, Wayne Inglis,<br />
was not overly impressed<br />
with the game.<br />
„"It was just a typical 100<br />
Mile-Quesnel game," Inglis<br />
commented, "<strong>an</strong>d I didn't<br />
think it was that interesting a<br />
game to watch."<br />
Inglis did say that he<br />
thought Garcia played well for<br />
the Blazers in net.<br />
"It's not just 100 Mile,"<br />
Inglis explained, "it's just that<br />
not everyone was ready to<br />

games."<br />
While the Millionaires are<br />
playing through one of their<br />
less impressive seasons according<br />
to the win-loss column<br />
of the club, one of the club's<br />
veter<strong>an</strong>s feels the team has<br />
been performing respectably.<br />
Bry<strong>an</strong> Dumaine, in his third<br />
season with the Millionaires,<br />
talked about this year's young<br />
club. • -<br />
"It's not too bad for the<br />
amount of young guys," Dumaine\replied<br />
when queried<br />
about his feelings oh the<br />
season. He feels it is difficult<br />
to say how the team will do<br />
come playoff time but thinks if<br />
they c<strong>an</strong> continue to play the<br />
way they have lately they<br />
should do well.<br />
The leading scorer for the<br />
Millionaires thinks everyone<br />
including the rookies of the<br />
"squad should hold up under<br />
the playoff pressures.<br />
, "Everyone should be used<br />
to playing in the league now,"<br />
Dumaine said, "so it shouldn't<br />
be too different in playoffs."<br />
Dumaine admitted it was "a<br />
little hard" to get up for a<br />
game against the cellar-dwelling<br />
Blazers, but also noted<br />
the team should not* be taken<br />
lightly.<br />

Battery neglect<br />
increases calls<br />
The British Columbia Automobile<br />
Association has found<br />
that 50 percent of their<br />
Emergency Road Service calls<br />
in 1979 were due to neglected<br />
batteries, even those that are<br />
low-mainten<strong>an</strong>ce or servicefree.<br />
Leaving lights on as well as<br />
Moose or defective alternator<br />
; belts <strong>an</strong>d battery cables are<br />
the main causes of battery<br />
failure for all types of batter-<br />
! ies.<br />
- Winter, with its bad weather<br />
<strong>an</strong>d low temperatures,<br />
creates more dem<strong>an</strong>ds on<br />
your car's battery. To make<br />
sure you get a charge out of<br />
your battery, follow a regular<br />
mainten<strong>an</strong>ce schedule that<br />
includes battery care.<br />
A battery that does not<br />
cr<strong>an</strong>k the engine over does<br />
not necessarily me<strong>an</strong> a batter<br />
that has to be replaced.<br />
In winter, not only will a<br />
battery require more energy<br />
for starting, but with cold,<br />
foggy days <strong>an</strong>d early darkness,<br />
operating the heater <strong>an</strong>d<br />
lights will create <strong>an</strong> additional<br />
drain of energy.<br />
A lot of stalled cars with<br />
low battery voltage, however,<br />
require only a simple battery<br />
recharging at a relatively low<br />
cost. In addition, cold weather<br />
1 causes the battery's efficiency<br />
to drop. ,<br />
If a fully-charged battery<br />
. operates at top efficiency at<br />
; 25 degrees Celcius, it would<br />
• only operate at about 65<br />
•percent efficiency at 0 de-<br />
" grees.<br />
These are some of the<br />
- reasons why it is even more<br />
crucial in winter to inspect<br />
fluid level regularly, keep the<br />
battery free of acid corrosion<br />
build-up, <strong>an</strong>d make sure cable<br />
connections <strong>an</strong>d hold-down<br />
clamps are tight <strong>an</strong>d cle<strong>an</strong>.<br />
One of the main causes of<br />
conventional battery failure is<br />
. not adding water when needed.<br />
Battery fluid consists of a<br />
• solution of sulfuric acid <strong>an</strong>d<br />
! water called electrolyte.<br />
The only way to lose the<br />
sufuric acid portion is by<br />
spillage or leakage, so make<br />
sure your battery hold-down<br />
• clamps are neither too loose—<br />
.'which could allow the battery<br />
to shift, or too tight—which<br />
could crack the battery case.<br />
The water portion of the<br />
solution in conventional batteries,<br />
however, is subject to<br />
normal evaporation.<br />
So, at least once a month,<br />
check the level of the electrolyte<br />
in the battery <strong>an</strong>d if low,<br />
add water (distilled is best,<br />
but OJK. to use cle<strong>an</strong> tap<br />
water.<br />
Before starting your check,<br />
remember that the electrolyte<br />
solution as well as the gases it<br />
produces, which extend outside<br />
the battery case, are<br />
highly combustible.<br />
Don't bring sparks or open<br />
flames, lighted cigarettes, or<br />
<strong>an</strong>y other tire source near the<br />
battery.<br />
Also, be extremely careful<br />
with watches or jewelry, such<br />
as bracelets, rings, etc., near<br />
the battery; they are all<br />
capable of shorting out <strong>an</strong>d<br />
could cause injury. Safety<br />
glasses are also recommended.<br />
; To check the fluid level,<br />
bring the car to a well-ventilated<br />
area <strong>an</strong>d turn the engine<br />
off. Remove the battery vent<br />
caps (conventional battery)<br />
<strong>an</strong>d examine each of the cells<br />
separately. The fluid should<br />
be filled just above the tops of<br />
the plates, but not to the<br />
brim. If the electrolyte<br />
(liquid) in a cell is low, fill to<br />
the "ring" of its filler .well, but<br />
no further, with distilled<br />
water or cle<strong>an</strong> tap water.<br />
Be careful not to splash the<br />
electrolyte containing acid on<br />
to your skin or clothing.<br />
Should this happen, immediately<br />
wash off the liquid with<br />
a solution of 2 ounces of<br />
baking soda to one litre of<br />
water.<br />
Always wash your h<strong>an</strong>ds<br />
thoroughly after working<br />
around a car battery before<br />
touching <strong>an</strong>ything. Should the<br />
electrolyte get in your eyes,<br />
DO NOT rub the eyes. Flush<br />
the eyes immediately with<br />
generous amounts of water,<br />
then a one-percent solution of<br />
baking soda <strong>an</strong>d water, <strong>an</strong>d<br />
call your doctor.<br />
Overfilling a battery c<strong>an</strong><br />
cause the electrolyte to bubble<br />
over. Since the fluid is<br />
very corrosive, it will cause<br />
white acid deposits around<br />
the terminals. Remember that<br />
the electrolyte c<strong>an</strong> corrode<br />
metal parts <strong>an</strong>d also affect<br />
your car's finish—so be extra<br />
careful when working with<br />
the battery.<br />
M<strong>an</strong>y new batteries have side<br />
posts designed for less mainten<strong>an</strong>ce.<br />
These types should<br />
still be inspected regularly.<br />
Whether you have this type<br />
or the more conventional<br />
variety, if corrosion is built<br />
up on the battery case, tray,<br />
or hold-down clamps, cle<strong>an</strong><br />
them thoroughly.<br />
This c<strong>an</strong> be .done with a<br />
mixture of four tablespoons of<br />
baking soda in a litre of water.<br />
Use this solution to cle<strong>an</strong> the<br />
battery case, tray, <strong>an</strong>d holddown<br />
clamps.<br />
Be sure to avoid <strong>an</strong>y<br />
possibility of getting <strong>an</strong>y of<br />
this washing solution in the<br />
cells by sealing off the holes in<br />
the battery caps. Replace <strong>an</strong>y<br />
missing or damaged caps.<br />
Cle<strong>an</strong> off normal dirt <strong>an</strong>d<br />
grease with detergent.<br />
Afterwards, rinse the battery<br />
with water <strong>an</strong>d dry with a<br />
cle<strong>an</strong> cloth or paper towels. If<br />
necessary, paint tray <strong>an</strong>d<br />
clamps with acid-resist<strong>an</strong>t<br />
paint (do not paint the terminals).<br />
It is also a good idea to<br />
make sure you are getting the<br />
maximum charge by cle<strong>an</strong>ing<br />
<strong>an</strong>d inspecting the cables.<br />
Remove the ground cable<br />
(negative) first, then the<br />
positive one (use a battery<br />
cable puller, don't pry or hit),<br />
<strong>an</strong>d cle<strong>an</strong> each post <strong>an</strong>d<br />
terminal with a battery brush.<br />
Then reconnect first the positive<br />
cable, then the negative<br />
one, making sure they are .<br />
tight.<br />
If the cables have worn<br />
insulation, broken wire<br />
str<strong>an</strong>ds, or loose or damaged<br />
connectors, replace them. After<br />
tightening, cover the posts<br />
<strong>an</strong>d terminals with petroleum<br />
jelly, or a special conductive<br />
grease. Be sure the battery<br />
hold-down clamps are snug.<br />
Check battery fluid level at<br />
least monthly <strong>an</strong>d keep the<br />
battery free from acid corrosion<br />
build up. Make sure cable<br />
connections <strong>an</strong>d hold-down<br />
clamps are cle<strong>an</strong> <strong>an</strong>d tight,<br />
<strong>an</strong>d your battery should give<br />
you the best of service.<br />
One last reminder: When<br />
you park, be sure your car<br />
lights are turned off!<br />

very slight dip occurring the<br />
week ending J<strong>an</strong>uary 25 but<br />
recovering immediately the<br />
following week. The Beef<br />

Overall slaughter of steers,<br />
heifers, calves <strong>an</strong>d cows for<br />

stocks are rebuilt. Steer cattle<br />
numbers for slaughter will<br />
remain low following smaller<br />
calf crops of the last two<br />
years. As a result, prices will<br />
generally stay at levels<br />
experienced over the past<br />
year but short term (one to<br />
six weeks) increases or decreases<br />
in slaughter could<br />
result in intermittent price<br />
dips <strong>an</strong>d peaks respectively.<br />
The Fresh Fruit Component<br />
