osteoporosis risk.

The average adult head weighs trom 10 to 12 pounds. Your neck and shoulder
muscles have the job of holding this 12-pound lump upright and allow it to move
smoothly. Your posture is very important. So sit up straight, walk with your head held
high and be aware of that weight on your shoulders.

ERT (Estrogen Replacement Therapy) has been proven to reduce menopausal
women’s risk for cornary heart disease by as much as 50%. This protection increases
the longer the estrogen supplement is used. It also slows bone-loss thus reducing

Insomnia is a very frustrating problem and sometimes can be very easy to fix. Drugs can
sometimes be the cause of sleepless nights. When we are told by a customer that she is
sleeping poorly, we will review her prescription profile. The cause just might be there

Diarrhea is another side effect that can occur with many medications. Again, let us
know if there is a problem and we can see if one of your medications is causing it

Talking to you about your medications is an important part of our job as pharmacists.
It's a job we thoroughly enjoy. Let our pharmacists fill your next prescription.

Until recently, that would have
been unthinkable for any manu-
facturer, in Japan, Canada or any-
where else. Our manufacturers
traditionally aimed for an accept-
able percentage of rejects and
wrote them off as losses. Not
anymore. More and more of them
are aiming for perfection. What's
made it possible is the fact that
computers have suddenly sprout-
ed like mushrooms on the factory
floor. They're described by a
variety of acronym like CAD and
CAM, CNC, and MRP, but ulti-
mately they're all contributing to

immensely more useful than the
old pencil and paper drawings
because in reality, the computer
stores a complete three dimen-

of the car—every contour of the
body, every gear in the transmis-
Sion, every tiny detail of each

That information can be sent—

drills, lathes or
robot arms. That's called Comput-
er Aided Manufacturing or CAM.
While all of this is happening,
the ‘production managers need to
ensure orderly flows of raw mate-
rials into the plant, and finished
products out. They track these
materials using—yep—computer

But today, all the manufacturer
has to do is switch from computer
program “A”, the one that pro-
duces the sunroof version of your
car, to Computer program “B",
the one that produces a conven.
ible with power brakes and steer
ing. That's an oversimplification
of course, but it does explain the
essential differerice between. old
and new manufacturing, It also
explains why you can now order
your car—-and just about every-
thing else—with so many differ-
ent options.

Here in B.C., a 1991 study by
Coopers and Lybrand found thai
the majority of advanced manu-
facturing firms were still in the
early stages of adopting the new
manufacturing technologies. But
as Dennis McJunkin, past Manu.
facturing Champion for Science
Council of B.C. explains, “B.C
has never had a large manufactur-
ing sector like Ontario. Instead
we have a lot of small fabricators
and custom jobbing shops that
provide services to primary man-
ufacturers such as forestry and
mining operations.”

On the surface, that doesn’t
sound like a good scenario for
growth. Today’s world market are
dominated by very large manu-
facturers who can afford to target
a specific market and wait for
twelve months or more until the
first ordér arrives.

But because of recent changes
in the way these large companies
are doing business, McJunkin
thinks advanced manufacturing

hnologies might soon take off

software called Manufacturing
Resources Planning (MRP).
These are just some examples of
a whole range of software based
tools that are collectively referred
to as “flexible automation tools”

The key word is “flexible”, Tra-
ditional product lines were diffi-
cult and costly to set up.

Well paid and highly skilled
tradespeople had to create precise
jigs, fixtures and dies that would
shape the individual components
of the product. Each separate
machine involved in the produc-
tion process had to be set up to
exacting standards by hand, then
monitored to see how well it was
performing.

here too.

“There's an increasing trend

toward manufacturers who have
d world-wid d

to make products for a very spe-

cific market niche,” says

McJunkin. “It’s becoming an

essential way of life.

If our companies can become
better at marketing and secure
global product mandates, it then
makes sense to begin adopting
the kinds of advanced manufac-
turing technologies they need to
make their specific products.” In
some cases they don't have a
choice any more. It could be a
case of “automate or evaporate.”

Columnist |

Dear Ann Landers: When
my daughter was 7, she told
me her daddy had been
molesting her. This disclo-
sure was very painful for her
and, of course, for me as
well as the rest of our family

My father-in*law, who is a

“Barry” at work and turned
him in. He served a short jail
sentence, and I decided we
should separate. Both my
daughter and Barry have
been in counseling ever
since.

I feel OK about Barry see-
ing the children. Our son is
now 7, and our daughter is
11. I am quite comfortable
about him being granted
supervised visitation rights. I
still care for my husband but
will not endanger the well-
being of my children by leav-
ing them alone with their
father.

I have done a great deal of
reading on the subject of
child molestation and have
had many discussions with
counselors. All the research I
have done has not turned up
a single instance of a perma-
nently “cured” child
molester. It would be a com-
fort to believe that my hus-
band is completely
rehabilitated and- will never
do this again, but I am not
sure

My question to you is this:
Are there any “former”
molesters out there who are
truly recovered and do not
molest anymore? — No
Name or City

Dear No Name: I, too,
have done a good bit of
research on child molesta-
tion, and according to the
experts (I am not one), the
only molesters who can be
considered permanentty
