GRANDE PRAIRIE,
ALTA. (CP) — An essay by
Grade 4 student Michelle
Mechanuck displayed in the
courtyard best explains what
Crystal Park School, which
integrates handicapped and
able-bodied children, is all
about.

The essay says, in part:

“Crystal Park is where you
respect and look out for
others, where you can be
silent and still be special.

“Where we're all different
but still special, where we
can make new friends and
learn more about them.

“Where we share and love
and grow.”

The $14.3-million school
was officially opened last
week by Premier Peter Lou-
gheed, who said the project is
upique in Canada and ad

dresses a long-term need in
northern Alberta.
A staff of 87 works at the

and language pathology,
physiotherapy, occupa’
therapy and programs for
children with severe behavi-
or problems.

Ninety-two handicapped
children share the school,
which opened in September,
with 416 non-handicappéd
students from kindergarten
through Grade 9.

Gillian Oliver, the school's
vice-principal, said the inte-
gration is working well.

“We expected there would
be more problems, but if you
just let the children be them-
selves there's no problem.”

EDMONTON (CP) — Alberta's petrochemicals
industry, faced with intense competition, rising produc
tion costs and iow market prices, is struggling to regain
its health. .

Four years ago, Alberta was riding the crest of a
boom, with petrochemicals high on the list of healthy
growth industries.

* Billions of dollars worth of new projects were
planned as ii to take tage of the
province's abundant gas reserves and relatively low

Since then, about $4 billion worth of projects
amnounced in 1981 and 1982 have-been shelved or
abandoned. Those which have been built — about $2
billion worth came on stream this year — are often
running at well below capacity.

New petrochemical investment is on hold in Alberta,
where more than half of Canada’s petrochemical! industry
is located.

Companies that are up and running are often
recording major losses, or at least serious erosions of
what was once expected to be a rong profit margin.

lene, the key p h k, is made
from ethane in natural gas. In three years, natural gas
costs in Alberta have climbed 40 per cent, at a time when
gas prices worldwide have dropped by 20 per cent, said
John Feick, president of Novacor Chemicals, the petro-
chemical arm of Nova Corp.

Feick, who also heads Alberta Gas Ethylene, a
subsidiary of Nova and the province's only ethylene
producer, adds that large increases in international
petrochemical capacity have created a surplus of many of
the products produced in Alberta and seriously
undermined world prices.

Record albums, plastic cups, antifreeze and clothing
made from synthetic fibre are just a few of the fruits of
the petrochemical industry.

Most petrochemical prices are below 1979 levels. In
the case of methanol, for example, producers estimate the
market price now is about 40 per cent less than had been
anticipated when the new Alberta methanol plants were
being constructed three years ago.

This cost-price squeeze has petrochemical producers
over a barrel. So far, extensive layoffs and shutdowns
have been avoided. But what happens in the future
hinges largely on government trade and pricing
decisions.
