Bolshevik headquarters and demanded to know what had been done with her husband. It was after curfew and she could have been shot, but she was in a rage. Count Paul Ignatieff, who had been arrested a couple of days earlier, was returned to his wife and five sons. Two generations later, Michael Ignatieff, 40, is still astonished by the courage of this woman — the grand- mother he never knew. “She was acting in complete obliviousness of her situation,” he said in an interview. “But she just assumed, ‘I am a countess, nobody pushes me around.’ ” FAMILY LORE The story of Natasha's courage and of the journey that began in St. Petersburg in 1917 and ended many years later in Upper Melbourne, Que., are part of family lore that has fascinated Ignatieff since he was a child. But it was a generation beyond his grasp. The memories were not his. George Ignatieff, former Canadian diplomat and Michael's father, was born a count in St. Petersburg and was four in 1917 when the years of chaos began. Young Michael was mystified by his father’s “shadowy past.” Michael's search for this past led him to his grand- parents memoirs and to the Soviet Union, and to test the born “western liberal individualist.’ MANY KINDS “I just hate this mysticism about the Russian soul,” he insists, “There are as many different kinds of Russians as there are Canadians. It’s a kind of nauseating senti- mentality.” This is not to say he lacks sentiment about his Russian grandparents who died before he was born. Ignatieff, who took his first look at Natasha's memoirs when he was 16, says, “I think my sense of sadness that I never knew her was terribly ‘strong. “Had I grown up with them (his grandparents), known them, had actual personal memories of them, how she smelt, how she read a story, how she told a joke, none of ths would have happened.” It's clear from The Russian Album that Ignatieff de- veloped a strong affection for his grandmother and an itself of aristocrats, Countess Natasha Ignatieff took a Share of ignite deeds, and he ly after all « Toromte prowl for clam diggers working his leased property without | VANCOUVER permission.

BOOK RESULTED But The Russian Album, the book that resulted from his search, is more than a family tree. It's a loving record, old photos and all, of the Ignatieff family from about the middle of the 19th century to the present. As Michael Ignatieff says, he is the last generation to have contact with the generation that lived through the Russian Revolution. The link with that period of history He believes strongly that he owed it to the past to hand it along to the future — his own son and daughter. Natasha, who died in 1944 in Quebec (her husband died the following year), must have felt a similar obligation when she privately wrote her memoirs in English. together and battled for his life. “She gave the children an absolutely unforgettable experience of courage,” said Ignatieff. “One of the odd things about being an aristocrat, one of the great privileges, you just think nobody can get to you. You just don’t know fear.” Still, he says the story of Natasha and Paul is not exceptional, although not everyone had a grandmother who was born a princess or a family who owned huge estates. “Canada is a country full of immigrants. Everybody has a shadow past, everybody has a shoe box full of photographs.” The Russian Album, by Michael Ignatieff.

The study “may be the be- ginning of a biological ex of how voltage distribution lines, as well.as among linemen and others who work with elec- tricity. But other students have found no such link. The California study, funded by the U.S. Energy Department, is among the first to seek a biological ex- planation for the possible i between cancer fields from power lines could — and I emphasize could — increase the risk of cancer,” said epidemiologist David Savitz of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The findings were pub- lished in the October issue of the journal Carcineogenesis by biomedical scientist Craig Byus and technician Susan Pieper, of the University of California at Riverside, and neuroscientist W. Ross Adey, of the Veterans Administra. tion Medical Centre in Loma Linda. Several studies, including one conducted by Savitz, have found higher rates of leukemia, brain tumors and miscarriages among people who live near high-voltage transmission lines or low- and low-energy electromag- netic fields, which are pro- duced not only by power lines but by household appliances. WORK NEEDED “It's just another indicator there may be a concern,” Sheldon Meyers, director of the Environmental Protec- tion Agency's Office of Rad- Washington, D.C. tional work needs to be done to get some definitive answers.” But Dr. Leonard Sagan, radiation studies manager for the utility-financed Electric Power Research Institute in Palo Alto, said that to “extrapolate from changes in enzyme (activity) levels in a cell to cancer (in people) requires a leap of several thousand light years.” In each of dozens of exper- iments in their study, Byus, Adey and Pieper grew cells from rat liver tumors and human lymphoma — an im- mune system cancer — in 30 to 40 containers. Electrodes were used to run a small electric current through some containers for one hour, while other cells weren't exposed to electricity. The study found electrified tumor cells displayed up to triple the activity of an enzyme named ornithine de- carboxylase. Byus said that while the enzyme doesn't cause cancer, it is required for the rapid growth of both normal and cancer cells. Can- cer is the uncontrolled pro- + liferation of cells. The new study shows elec- tromagnetic fields “can alter important biochemical pro- cesses inside living cells that may be related to the cancer process,” Byus said Thurs- day. Savitz’s study, released in July, found children who live near ordinary overhead power lines were twice as likely to develop leukemia as children who were raised Professor has idea to away from such lines. But Savitz agreed evidence is too weak to suggest people should move away from power lines. Some scientists, including Byus and Nancy Wertheimer at the University of Col- orado, also believe blankets and household appliances may pose an elevated risk of cancer. Meyers said such speculation “is probably reaching a bit.” ( PUBLISHER The Castlegar News is published by Castle News Lid.

A 76-year-old grandmother sprang into action when two 17-year-olds broke into the ered of her house, RCMP the woman called police and barricaded the door leading up from the base- ment. RCMP said the youngsters smashed down the door but the woman hit one of them with her flashlight, sending the pair scurrying back into the basement. One youth was arrested in the house. The other es- caped through 4 window but was picked up by police a short time later. He had suf- fered a severe laceration to a nd. digging where it would damage his oysters. Markin said most diggers leave when they are asked to, but he got tired of seeing the same people coming back onto, his lease over and over again. With the injunction, he says; they risk arrest and fines. PROTECT CROP Markin is bitter that he had to go to court to protect his crop. “Every bit of money I made out there, leave everybody happy. But that system has broken down all along the coast. “The problem is fairly new,” Markin said. “Because so many clams are polluted in the eastern United States, the Dickson, fisheries, says the catch statistics — which have doubled since last year — indicate a significant increase in diggers. Last year clam diggers landed 1,427 metric tonnes. This year, to Oct. 15, the figure stood at 2,953 metric tonnes. The value of the clam harvest this year is $4.5 million.

Much of the violence in society can be traced back ta the belief that it's normal for boys and young men to be physically and verbally ag- gressive, said Leonard Eron, a psychology professor at the University of Illinois. “If we want to reduce the level of aggression in society, we should also discourage boys from behaving aggres- sively very early in life and reward them for others be- haviors,” he said. “In other words, we should socialize boys more in the manner that we have been socializing girls. “Rather than insisting that little girls should be treated like little boys and trained to be aggressive and assertive, it should be the other way around.” Eron said aggressive be- havior shows up early in life and soon becomes difficult to deal with. Aggressive young males are the people most likely to wind up as delin- quents or criminals. Eron and his colleagues did a study in a semi-rural county along the Hudson River in New York that showed ially. strong patterns of aggression that persisted over a period of 22 years. The study started in 1960 and focused on eight-year- olds who got involved in fights, pushed and shoved their classmates, took other children’s things without ask- ing and were rude to their teachers. By the time these aggres- sive children reached the age of 19, they were more likely to have done poorly in school and more likely to have been in juvenile court than their less-aggressive schoolmates. By the time they were 30, they were: © More likely to have been convicted of serious crimes; e Had more traffic tickets and convictions for drunken driving; e Were more likely to abuse their wives; © Tended to have aggres- sive children of their own; And, had generally fallen behind the others education- ally, professionally and soc- “As our data on the sta- bility of aggressive behavior imply, it is important to intervene early in the lives of the applicable rate. in the event of an error, advertising or need not be sold.
