Do you agree with these measures? Norman Sather I think it's a very good thing. These people murder and kill others when they are impaired. I don't think it’s a risk you can take. Rick Tarasoff Some of them I do, some I don't ... just for the simple reason that some are too harsh.

White Sure, because they (drunk dri- vers) should stop drinking and then there wouldn't be so many acci- dents. Pat Rilcof Yes, I do, well I just think it will be a deterrent.

VANCOUVER (CP) — The parents of one of the victims of mass killers Clifford Olson said Tuesday that $10,000 awarded them from the trust fund set up for the Olson * family will be returned to the British Columbia govern- ‘ment. “Our instructions from our clients is that they want to return the trust fund money to the government,” lawyer David Gibbons told Mr. Jus- tice George Murray in B.C. Supreme Court. Gibbons was representing Margaret Koz- ma, And as she left the court after the morning session Kozma, mother of Judy Koz- ma, said: “I don't want the money.” The award is under the Families Compensation: Act. It was the second action brought under the statute by _ Gibbons on behalf of the fam- ilies of Olson's victims. On Monday, Murray awarded a total of $18,046 to the parents of Raymond King. Murray said Tuesday that the Kings incurred special losses of $8,000 because of an educational trust fund they had established for their son. The basic $10,000 award in each case is uniform with awards made in other recent cases brought under the act, the judge said. Gibbons is representing a number of the families of Ol- son’s 11 victims. Not all.the families have brought ac- tions. IN PRISON Olson is in prison in King- ston, Ont., for life after pleading guilty in January 1982 to the 11 murders. The trust fund was set up for Olson’s wife, Joan, and their child, with $90,000 paid by the RCMP to Olson in re- turn for being led to the bodies of his victims. dink.

Ferraro, Lenardon reunited in Brandon . BRANDON, MAN. (CP) — At the end of the 1982-83 season, it appeared that a couple of childhood buddies from Trail, were going to be pulled farther apart. entre Ray Ferraro had won a. Memorial Cup championship ring as a member of the Western Hockey League Portland Winter Hawks and was looking forward to a National Hockey League tryout with Hartford Whalers. -Centre Tim Lehardon was thinking ‘about university” . after smashing Ferraro's point-scoring record with Trail Smoke Eaters of the Kootenay International Junior. League. A few months later, they were reunited in Brandon — Lenardon as a member of the Bobcats in the Great Plains Athletic Conference and Ferrato as a star forward with the Wheat Kings of the WEIL. ~~ ; Ferraro, 19, leads the league in goals with 52 and, ‘klong with 85 assists, has 87 points for'second place in the points Face. Lenardon, 21, and Mike Ridley of Manitoba Bisons share the points lead in the Great Plains conference, both with 29, Lenardon, also his team's leading goal-scorer with 13, is one of the reasons the Bobcats are in first place in GPAC, with a 10-2 record. ~ FAMILIES CLOSE “Its kind of funny the way things worked out,” said Ferraro, a 5-foot-10, 166-pounder who had 41 goals and 49 assists with Portland last season. “Timmy and I are very close and so are our families. “We sure didn’t expect to end up playing hockey in the same city.” ‘Thé circumstances that landed Ferraro and Lenardon in the same city, more than 1,400 kilometres from home, began to unfold last June. Enter Gord McDonald, a former sports announcer with a radio station in Brandon who was working for a station in Trail. He suggested Lenardon might take a took at Brandon University. Earl’ Jessiman, former coach with the Bobcats, eventually called’ Lenardon and the centre decided on Brandor after a summer sting working in a coal mine in northern B.G. And Lenardon wasn't aware that Ferraro was on his way to Brandon after being traded to the Wheat Kings in a mid-summer deal with the Winter Hawks. “I think both families are quite pleased about the way things worked out,” Ferraro sald. “We're both a long way from home in a strange town and they know that I’m here for Tim and he's here for me. It's made things easier for both of us.” IMPROVES TEAM Ferraro’s presence has made the Wheat Kings’ one of the strongest teams in the WHL this season. They finished out of the playoffs in 1982-83 with 21 wins and 51 defeats in the East Division. This season they're 19-15-1 and in third place with one of the best offensive clubs in the 14-team league: : Ferraro, eying the goal-scoring record of 96, set by former. Brandon star ‘Bill Derlago, was obtained: from Portland along with four other players for 17-year-old Blaine Chrest, destined to become a star in the WHL. Portland general manager. Brian Shaw said it wasn't easy giving up a player of Ferraro's calibre. _“Ray‘s a heck of a player and a real nice kid,” said Shaw, "who added, “You have to give up something to get what you want.” + Both Ferraro and Lenardon have a knack for scoring goals, but they agree that their styles differ immensely. “Ray can skate better than me and I shoot a little better than him,” said Lenardon, a 6-foot-2, 175-pounder. “He doesn't have to work as hard as me. “What I have to improve on is my skating. That's my, weak point.” ua Ny F Ferraro agrees. “Tim's got a better shot — he’s got a cannon for a shot. He's a bit bigger, but I'm maybe a little better skater.” Lenardon and Ferraro began their playing days as line- mates on a peewee team in the Trail minor system. JOIN SMOKE EATERS They were reunited a few years later with the junior Smoke Eaters. : Lenardon joined Trail-as.a 17-year-old, while Ferraro made the transition to the Tier II team at the age of 15. In his second season, Ferraro established KIJHL records with 86 goals and 162 points.
