West Mall. ;

It was a tough decision for Gold, who recalls the days
when the city's downtown sidewalks were ’ full of
shoppers.

“But over a three-year period sales at our downtown
store kept dropping,” he says. “It got to the point where
we just weren't making money-any more.”

Meatiwhile, business is booming at the store he and
his brother opened in 1981 at West Edmonton Mall, a

h ing and entertai centre.

It's a familiar story and—one—which--downtown =
businessmen are trying to cope with.

Some merchants, viewing the mall as giant black
hole sucking business from the downtown, gave up and
closed their shops. Others are attempting to-fight back.

Van Vliet, president of the City Centre Association, 3
says the immense popularity of West Edmonton Mall has
made downtown businessmen wake up and take notice.
Ald. Percy Wickman agrees.”
“It started the downtown businessmen to life,” says
Wickman., “Great things are now ing in the

woe ae

downtown area.”

Several million dollars are being spent to revitalize
Jasper Avenue, the city’s main thoroughfare. New street
lamps and cobblestone sidewalks ‘are being installed to
spruce up a lacklustre downtown core. ne

Some are impressed. Others, like clothier Allan
Schole, aren't.

“I think it’s all very beautiful to look at,” says Schole,
whose downtown store does less than half the business of
his West Edmonton Mall outlet. “But I don't think it's
going to make one bit of difference as far as sales go.”

Schole dismissed the common complaint among
downtown merchants that the mall alone has killed the
downtown area.

“The downtown is hurting,” he said. “But it's not just
West Mall." —

tumor. Cells on the periphery—f-

British Columbia Cancer Re-
search team has developed a
method to sort and identify
tumor cells that may improve
the ability to kill tumors
usually resistant to treat-
ment. 3 ;

Theteam of doctors —
Ralph Durand, David Chaplin
and Peggy Olive — first pub-
licized their method at a
radiological convention in
Los Angeles. .

Following a recent report
in the British Journal of Can-
cer, some researchers are
coming to B.C. to learn how
to use the process, called
fluorescent activated cell
sorting (FACS), said Durand,
‘a medical biophysicist.

The technique, so far used
only: in, mice, involves first
treating a solid tumor with a
particular drug or radiation
treatment. Then a fluores-
cent dye is injected into the

* blood stream where it is car-

ried to the tumor and picked
up by the tumor cells.

A crucial aspect of the dye,
Durand said, is that it is
picked up in different inten-
sities by the cells, depending
on where the cells are in the

of the tumor will pick up a
great deal of the dye. Cells in
the middle of the mass will
pick up very little, if any at
all.

‘The tumor is then removed
and the cells broken down by
enzymes into a single-cell

suspension. The cells are
glowing with the fluorescent
dye — bright spots for cells
on the outside of the tumor,
‘k masses for those on the
inside. A

The researchers then take
the separated cells and try to
grow the cells in culture to
see if the cells were killed by
the treatment.

Durand says the method
allows researchers, looking,
for better methods to treat
resistant cancers, “to shoot
with our eyes open.”

A tumor is often resistant
to treatment because the
cells on the inside of solid-
mass tumors react different-
ly to drugs and treatment
than cells on the outside of
the mass, Durand said.

Inner cells are often an-
aerobic, meaning they grow
without oxygen. Certain
drugs that need“ oxygen to
work will not kill those cells.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — For the first time, the
dreaded wine bug phylloxera is assaulting some vines in
premium California areas thought previously to be
mostly immune to the insect that once devastated the
vineyards of Europe.~ ais

The grape-growing region under attack includes
parts of the Napa and Sonoma valleys, which produce
some of the most highly prized wines in the United

which’ back trouble strikes. Six of 10 Canadians — and,
frighteningly, eight of 10 who lift weights, engage in
aerobic exercise or play racquet sports — will succumb to
back pain at.on nother. Almost a third of North
Americans are believed to be suffering from some form of
back ailment.

‘As any good chiropractor will tell you, there is no
sure-fire way to cure back pain. Just about any damage
done can recur. And the more it recurs, the more it can
change muscle composition that leads to a permanent,
lrreversible degeneration.

hat sounds awful, that's because it is. Ask anyone
who has it.

If there;was ever a good application of the old adage,
“an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” caring
for the back is it. Simple procedures, and a bit of restraint
during active periods, can avert many serious back
injuries.

The easiest, but most important form of prevention
concerns your lifestyle. Does you job call for too much
sitting, top much standing or too much lifting? You may
not need to change your line or work, but by paying
attention to your posture and how you perform your
tasks,-you-can-greatly reduce the effects of your job on

Strangely, back muscles don't really end up aching
because they are weak. It's because they are dispropor-
tionately strong — and too tight to often adapt to stresses
placed on them. eae Ae
NEEDS STRETCHING
What that calls for is a daily stretching routine, 10 or
15 minutes of limbering the body. For the back, you
should try the following before and after exercising:
— Lying first on one side, then the other, bring your
bent legs up as close to your chest as possible.
— On your knees, sit back on your heels, bend
forward, forehead to the ground, and extend your armsin

front of you.

— Standing with your feet as wide apart as possible,
cross your arms, bend at the waist and gently try to touch
your arms to the ground.

Hold each of these stretches for 15 to 20 seconds.
Repeat them a few times. Don't bounce or strain, let the
back gain flexibility over a period of days or weeks — not
overnight.

Your physician.can recommend specific exercises to
strengthen the abdomen, ‘and it may be necessary to buy

But the more serious threat is south of San Francisco
in Monterey County. That area's 12,141 hectares of
grapevines are planted on their own, highly susceptible
rootstocks, rather than grafted onto phylloxera-resistant
rootstocks — the only viable method yet found to fight
the bug.

; GROWERS WORRIED

Although he estimates the industry has “a lead time
of 10 to 20 years” to control the bug-in the Napa-Sonoma
region, Granett says the growers are worried over the
“two or three acres” showing a phylloxera-induced
decline.

The voracious phylloxera aphid does its worst
damage deep down on the roots of the grapevines. It
sucks the sap from the more vulnerable roots and shrivels
the plant. 4

A quiet battle is being waged to outflank the louse —

Europe in the 1870s — and defend the $5.4-billion
