Boat builder Alec Spiller stood alone in a second-storey ‘d window ing the of his life — the 28-metre mah: and fir-hulled slide easily down the marine ways. “It's a sculpture. It’s a big wooden sculpture,” he said. The ship, Spirit of Chemainus, floated high on the water, while deckhands manoeuvered it to a nearby dock. One of them shouted out: “It's dry as a bone inside.” * TECHNOLOGY "OLD The launching ended a year and a half's labor for Spiller and the 20 shipwrights and apprentices who had constructed the ship, using technology 150 years old. The vessel “is very much a symbol of this town,” said Mayor Graham Bruce. “This is a town that four years ago was supposed to be dead. People were living. You were supposed to find boards on all the doors. and windows.” - . The brigantine was built by the Victoria-based Sail and Life Training Society (SALTS) i in co-operation with the town of Chemainus. “If we weren't all wooden boat freaks, half pirates in love with the sea, we wouldn't be here,” said shipwright Wayne Loiselles*1 Ex-navy man Vic Hookins, a director of SALTS, said he ildi tir mn for the” Forestry,” but arelated issue emerged prominently during the first week of discussion among some 200 delegates from 25 Commonwealth coun- tries.

' ATTRACT TOURISTS The brigantine, part of SALTS’ youth sail training program is also the town's passport to the Expo 86 tourist bonanza. During the world’s fair, the townspeople plan to use the brigantine to carry Expo visitors from Vancouver. After Expo, the brigantine will be used for sail training.

Also, 500 million people live on some form of shifting cultivation of tropical land that depends on trees. to re- store nutrients to the soil. A larger number of people face deteriorating soil and water, erosion, flooding and declining ‘crops because of deforestation.

The compact Signature brings one-touch, three-party conference calling to the home, said Robert Gordon, group director for subscriber equipment sales. The phone contains eight feature buttons and can be programmed to let a cus- tomer know when an incom- ing call is from a certain number. Call waiting is also sim- plified on the Signature. A few beeps indicate to the person using the phone that another caller is trying to get through. With the push of a button the first caller is put on hold, allowing the second caller to make the connec- tion. That feature is already available on some other phones, as is Signature’s last- number redial feature. Bell Canada, Northern Tel- ecom and Bell-Northern Re- search Ltd., which helped to develop the phone, are arms of the Montreal-based Bell Canada Enterprises Inc. bus- iness empire. Bell does not plan to sell units outright, but will levy the same monthly residential rental fee it charges on the 18-year-old Contempra model. Gordon said that by the end of 1986, the utility ex- pects about 450,000 of the new phones will be installed across Canada. By 1990 U.S. utilities will have spent $37 billion on pollution controls and $138 million in annual operating costs. There are 119 utility scrubbers removing sulphur dioxide in U.S. smokestacks but Canada has none, he said. Recent studies show acid rain is not caused solely by sulphur dioxide, he said.

Nelford uncertain about future as a professional By LAURIE STEPHENS TORONTO (CP)'— Al- most two weeks after he was seriously injured in a water- skiing accident, Canadian gol- fer Jim Nelford is retreating to. his Arizona home, un- certain about his future in professional golf. The 30-year-old PGA Tour regular from Burnaby, suf- fered cuts and a complex break to his right arm, and serious cuts to his back and thigh on Sept. 8 when a boat struck him as the driver made a pass to-pick him up. Although a third operation is scheduled for his damaged Nelford was released from Scottsdale (Ariz.) Memorial Hospital. “['ve got.a full cast on the arm right now and I had my stitches removed from my back ‘and thigh,” said Nel- ford, sounding groggy and weak in a telephone inter- view before his release. “It's been going real well.” Dr. Vincent Russo. - the orthopedic surgeon who trea- ted the golfer, said he's planning the third operation for late next week. “It's a delayed-operation to repair the nerve in his arm,” said Russo. “Up until now, we've. been concerned about infection and swelling, but that’s under control now.” Russo performed earlier operations on Nelford's arm, one to insert a plate to hold bits of bone in place and another to repair and remove portions of damaged muscle. MANY STITCHES He said the golfer had “more stitches than we could count — his lacerations and cuts were quite severe.” In Edmonton, Mike Bar- nett of Corpsport Interna- tional, the firm that handles Nelford’s business affairs, said the golfer will spend several months at his Scotts- dale home at the Gainey Ranch golf resort, where he is the touring pro, _“He'll be involved in recon-. ioning and the arm,” said Barnett, add- ing that Nelford will be covered by personal and PGA Tour insurance while he recuperates. —Nelford said he would do his best to get back on the tour. < Russo siad Nelford “is doing extremely well, under the cir "and that in'1985, behind Dave Barr of ~a four-run uprising and Orel Hershiser, 16-3, coasted with a:seven-hitter for Los Ang- eles.

Top players — won't be called PITTSBURGH (AP) — Af- ter threatening to subpoena several well-known baseball players, lawyers for a Phila- delphai man accused of deal- ing drugs to major leaguers apparently will rest their case after calling only Pitts- burgh Pirates manager Chu- ck Tanner. The only other | baseball figure still likely to testify in the federal cocaine distribu- tion trial of Curtis Strong, 39, is former commissioner Bo- wie Kuhn, said sources close to the case who requested anonmyity. Defence lawyer Adam Renfroe Jr. apparently was to decide today whether to call Kuhm, who would be asked whether he ever aler- ted the FBI or other law enforcement officials to baseball's drug problem. Kuhn also would be asked whether baseball officials, as Cincinnati Reds outfielder Dave Parker testified last week, instructed team execu- tives to caution their players to stay away from individuals suspected of being drug sources. The federal drug distru- bution trial recessed early for the second straight day Tues- day after Renfroe decided not to call St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Joaquin Andujar. HURTS CASE Refroe decided after z meeting with the pitcher An- dujar’s testimony would have been of little benefit and possibly harm the defence, sources said. Refroe also decided not to eall_former Pirate slugger Willie Stargell after his law- yer said Stargell, now. the team’s first base coach, would invoke Fifth Amend- ment rights against self-in- crimination if subpoenaed, the sources said. Stargell has not been link- ed to Strong in any testimony and his only connection to the case came when former Pir- ate Dale Berra said Stargell once distributed amphetam- ines in the team’s clubhouse, Stargell denied the charges. Tanner, the first witness called by the defence, re- butted Berra’s testimony that the manager specifically instructed the former Pirates infielder not to talk to Strong in a Three Rivers Stadium runway prior to a game. Tanner also denied that, as Parker testified, he warned Pirates players to avoid contact with Strong and Shelby Greer, a former Pitts- burgh resident also accused of dealing drugs to players. . ” wake of a 2-1 victory Satur- day over Honduras.

Canada became the eighth country to qualify for the 1986 World Cup with the victory in St. John’s, Nfid., but won't know for another three months which teams it will play inthe opening round of the quadrenni soccer showpiece in Mexico. The draw for next year's tournamen, 7 held in Mexico City on Dec. 15. The only thing Canadian soccer officials know at this time is that Canada is guaranteed a minimum of three games. The 24 nations that will qualify for Mexico . will be divided into six groups of four teams each. The month- long tournament is scheduled to start May 29. National team administra- tor Les Wilson said he now is working ona series of fall and winter exhibition games for the Canadian team. “Tony (national team coach Tony Waiters) and I will sit down during the next two or three weeks and work on our preparations for Mexico, said Wilson. “It will be impossible to keep the entire team to- gether for an extended pre- paration period because sev- eral players have commit- ments with professional teams. “Terry Moore, for exam- ple, is back playing with Glentoran of Northern Ire- land; Ian Bridge has returned to La Chaux-de-Fonds—in———.
