It was just the most horrifying experience of my whole life.” Crosby, 47, has remained clean for more than two years after a stint ina Texas prison. The story of his addic tion, arrests, imprisonment and re. covery with girlfriend and now wife Jan Dance will be told in the Double. day, book, Long Time Gone, written with Crosby's friend, writer-director Carl Gottlieb.

But I had a ton of money. Whatever I've done, I've done to excess, so I did it to excess and it absolutely started to put me “T used to have toxic seizures from the saturation of cocaine,” he said. “This happened to me at the wheel of a car on the San Diego Freeway.

Gilbert Jordan, 56, was convicted last month in B.C, Supreme Court in the death of Vanessa Buckner, 27, whose nude body was discovered in a skid row hotel room a year ago. She had died of alcohol poisoning. Jordan will be eligible to apply for parole in five years. The maximum sentence for manslaughter is life in prison but usual sentence is from four to six years. : “What persuades me to select the high end of the scale is the past criminal conduct of Mr. Jordan, his mental imbalance, his persistent at- tack on a vulnerable woman through the use of alcohol and his lack of remorse,” said Mr. Justice John Bouck. “The public deserves long term protection from his predatory ways,” the judge said. Although Jordan faced only one charge, Bouck allowed the Crown to introduce evidence at the trial linking Jordan to the alcohol-poison- ing deaths of seven other women and the liquor illnesses of four more over several years. DEADLY INSTRUMENT “While he did not use a weapon, such as a gun or a knife, to kill Vanessa Buckner, alcohol was his deadly instrument of choice,” said Bouck. Buckner had a blood-alcohol read- ing of .91, more than 11 times higher than the legal limit for motorists. A 125-pound person would have to consume more than a litre of hard liquor to produce such a reading. During the trial, the bespectacled, balding Jordan testified he picked up about 200 women a year. He said he combed Vancouver's seedy streets for a drinking com- panion, and when he found one, she was usually already drunk. Then, he said, he would use a fake name to book into a cheap hotel where they would drink and frolick the night away. “Sober people wouldn't go out with me so I didn’t have much option,” he said under cross-examination when asked why he sought drunk women. “I didn’t want to drink in my room all by myself.” “The evidence shows a man who preyed on native women for sex — and then got some sort of perverse satisfaction watching them drink themselves into insensibility,” Bouck said Oct. 21 in convicting Jordan. Crown prosecutor Sean Madigan said there is a lesson to be learned from the Jordan case. “T think they're going to have to be a little more curious about why people are found dead from alcohol, just to make sure there's nothing improper,” he said. Strife to end? MOSCOW (CP) — Six cultural and religious leaders appealed today to Azerbaijanis and Armen- ians to halt ethnic strife which has swept the two Soviet republics the last two weeks. The intellectuals, supporters of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev's reform program, suggested the unrest has been sparked by people involved in corruption who want to prevent changes. “Our conscience does not allow us to stand by and watch calmly while innocent people are, killed people started when Armenians sacked and burned Azerbaijani homes in Nagorno-Karabakh and instigated mass firings of the Azerbaijani minority about a month ago. Nagorno-Karabakh is a predominantly Armen ian enclave in Azerbai and the focus of a dispute between the neighboring Soviet republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, colleagues of Moscow dissident journalist Sergei Grigoryants said he received a 30-day from military commanders of and women are raped,” said the six intell two writers, a lawyer, an actor, a surgeon and the Russian Orthodox Patriarch Pimen. Enemies of both nationalities, the appeal said, “are trying to cast off blame onto people of the other jonality in order to justify their own sins, their hatred of the changes taking place today and their terror at losing their ill-gotten gains.” The six said it is the duty of intellectuals in Azerbaijan, which has a strong Islamic tradition, and largely Christian Armenia to help cool passions in the area. The appeal was published in the weekly Moscow News as demonstrations continued into a third week in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku. Along with the patriarch, signatories of the appeal were novelist-editor Grigory Baklanov, writer Daniil Granin, Vladimir Kudryavtsev who heads the state law institute, leading actor Mikhail Ulyanov and eye surgeon Svatoslav Eyodorov. The president of Azerbaijan, Suleiman Tatlev Yerevan for violating regulations against making video films in the Armenian capital. Four soldiers and three civilians were killed last week in Azerbaijan. The region was reported generally quiet Tuesday’ with military law and curfews still in effect in Yerevan, the Azerbaijani capital of Baku and other citie: Tatlev told reportes at Tuesday's meeting of the Supreme Soviet national parliament that about 4,000 Azerbaijanis fled to Baku, and officials found the leadership of Nagorno-Karabakh unwilling to solve the problem. He said Armenians worsened tensions by building an aluminum workshop in a nature preserve. The worst violence has been in the city of Kirovabad, where soldiers are protecting the Armenian population from attack. Tatlev said Azerbaijani officials “weren't prepared for anything like this,” and so the local police did not react to the Have You Read Leonard Howe's “A MISCELLANY , OF POESIES” Vol. IV — Drolleries and Impertinences) 52 pieces — of humour, of love, of the risque without filth, doy-to-day communication and of success in un derstanding other beings Only $9.95 NELSON (Oliver's, Stewart's News in December 7th, the Nelson Library.

(CP) — The pulp and paper industry should be warned the ‘papermaking process can pro- duce an explosiye buildup of hydro- gen, a cofoner’s\ jury said. The recommendation followed a seven-day inquest into an explosion at Domtar Packaging Ltd. on July 12 that killed Major Matheson, 34, and Michael Rutt, 20, both of Trenton, just west of Belleville, Ont. The two men were grinding and welding on a water tank when an explosion sent the tank 20 metres in the air. Accidental ignition of hydrogen gas caused the explosion, the jury decided. “There is a continued potential for deaths in the pulp and paper industry,” said coroner Dr. Dan Cooke. “The pulp and paper industry as a whole has to get its act to gether.” The inquest was told aerobic bac- teria act on the wood fibre in the processed white water used in papermaking. The bacteria produce hydrogen gas, particularly in stag- nant water. White water from five other mills was tested during the inquest and all registered some level of hydrogen. The jury recommended better ventilation and agitation systems be put in mills to minimize the creation of hydrogen. It also recommended mills monitor hydrogen gas buildup.
