As expected, the most common were the Coots who gather in large flocks along the West Arm out of Nelson and checked in at 902 in- dividuals.

Cure found for snoring SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Even some of the worst window-rattling snorers can be turned into silent sleepers with the aid of minor sur- gery, doctors at Stanford University Medical Centre say. The surgical procedure, which costs about $2,500, re- moves a layer of soft palate and some tissue from the throat, allowing the air to move freely instead of vi- brating and producing a snore, says Dr. Martin Hopp, a head-and-neck surgeon associated with the Stanford Sleep Disorders Clinic. The technique is not suit- able for all snorers, because there are many causes of snoring and in some cases it is a symptom of an under. lying sleep disorder, the doc tors said. Their conclusion was based on surgery on about 250 snorers during the last three years at Stanford, Hopp said. The surgery, which the doctors said somewhat re. sembles a tonsillectomy, re- duces or completely removes the uvula — the bobbing lobe of tissue that hangs in the back of the mouth. “All patients had a very sore throat afterward, last. ing at least a week,” says a summary of a report on 70 of the patients in the January issue of the Western Journal of Medicine. The doctors said ‘their study indicates that many explosive snorers also suf- fered from a potentially dan- gerous condition called ob- structive sleep apnea, in which the air passages be- come so blocked that breath- ing temporarily stops. The surgery benefited about 45 per cent with apnea, which can last a minute or more, cause nightmares and heart irregularities during sleep and drowsiness, head- aches and impotence during waking hours, they said. It can also contribute to high blood pressure. The surgery is only for those who suffer from oro- pharyngeal snoring, which oceurs in all positions, pro- ducing.a racket from an in- ward, air-blocking collapse of tissues at the back and sides of the throat, roughly the area above and around where the tonsils are located, they said. Snorers are men and wom- en of all ages, but the typical snorer is a middle-aged some- what overweight man, the report said. Some of the treated snor- ers had subjected bed mates to years of suffering and in other cases the mates didn't sleep in the same room be- cause of the noise, the doc tors said.

The forest industry can not play favourites with its unions. On February 2, the British Columbia forest industry took the unpleasant step of locking out the two pulp and paper unions, shutting down that sector of British Columbia’s most important industry. Why? The forest industry must treat its unionized employees on a fair and equal basis. And it wants the pulp and paper unions to return to bargaining for a new collective agreement. The industry does not want a lockout. It wants a settlement. But we cannot allow nego- tiations to go unresolved indefinitely. For nine months, since the spring of 1983, the industry has been negotiating new collective agreements. The 45,000-member mendation of their negotiators. When the IWA received the industry's final contract offer, its negotiators got together with the industry to resolve differences. The result is International workers of America, the largest forest industry union in the province, has just ratified a new contract worked out with industry negotiators. Essentially the same offer was made to the industry’s two pulp unions, the Canadian Paper- workers’ Union-and the Pulp, Paper and Wood- workers of Canada. But the offer was rejected by the 12,000-member pulp unions on the recom- a new three-year collective agreement in the woods products sector.

Wood- We need this economic breather to recover from the more than $1 billion loss suffered during the Our biggest union, the IWA, and its members have understood the industry's serious economic problems and the effect it has on the provincial economy. We urge the pulp unions to recognize the problems, too, and the need for a three-year agreement with no wage increase in the first year. Collective bargaining for this agreement must be resumed on a meaningful basis, and the industry is prepared to meet at any time. The forest industry can not—and will not —play favourites with its employees through their unions.
