After the second, some women were offended. And with the third, pub- lished last year, “there was re- sounding hatred,” she says. Hite who describes herself as an independent scholar, says she has had it with being called a male- basher. Speaking to a group of doctors, nurses and nursing home diretors in Montreal, she said she's finished researching love and sex- uality. From now on, men and women will have to go it alone. Those still interested in her provocative work can consult her three best-sellers which are still in the bookstores: The Hite Report on Female Sexuality; The Hite Report on Male Sexuality; and Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress. At 43, married for 3' years to a concert pianist 20 years younger, she's turned to writing fiction. Her reports have been filled with the controversial figures; 70 per cent of married men have affairs after two years of marriage; 70 per cent of married women have affairs after 5 years; 85 per cent of married women are unhappy with their mates; ahd 98 per cent of women want more intimacy with their male partners. “It's no surprise to me men are bored with sex (with their marriage partners) in two years,” she says. Most men never marry the women they most passionately love: “They think it’s too volatile, too dangerous.” Hite has strong views on the interaction of men and women. Here's what she had to say: On being single: “A lot of women like it, not because you can sleep around but because they like their jobs, their children, friends and a wide spectrum of interests. Women can live very happy lives as long as they have a circle of friends. “Single, never-married women are in a double bind . . . If they don't dress sexy, they're not asked out. If they do, they're not taken seriously. The double standard is still going strong. Women are no supposed to carry condoms (because of AIDS), but when they do, they're seen as loose.” IF YOUMISSTHIS DATE, THERE COULD BE NO ACCOUNTING FOR YOUR CHOICE OF CAREER.

Heller, a literary agent, is there. So is Nancy Schmidt, a high-school English teacher, Louise Gagnon, a library clerk, and retired mailman Jack Moffatt. They are joined in spirit by their quarry — Jack the Ripper, the mysterious killer who murdered at least five prostitutes 100 years ago in London's seedy East End. The four first met in 1981 at a high-school course Heller was teach ing on mystery novels. They soon became friends and Ripperologists, dedicated to the study of a case that has fascinated experts and amateurs for a century.

The Ripper’s rampage began in August 1888 and ended that Novem ber. Each victim had her throat slit All but the fourth victim were terribly mutilated. The final victim, 24-year-old Mary Kelly, was the only one killed indoors — the other streetwalkers were plying their trade when attacked. Kelly was three months pregnant. The Ripper cut off her nose, skinned her forehead and removed her liver. POSE QUESTIONS One witness believed he saw Jack talking to one of his victims and des- cribed him as a nicely dressed 40ish “foreigner.” But police never learned his identity, why he started killing or why he stopped.

Heller's group has its No. 1 sus- pect: Mary Kelly's landlord, John McCarthy. “We can't pin it on him, but what we could do is get the cops looking at him,” says Moffatt. The group believes McCarthy had opportunity and motive. Kelly had lost her latch key and had to fiddle with an exposed bolt to enter her room. The door was locked when her body was found. McCarthy may have had a dupli cate key, the group suspects. CITE BLACKMAIL As for motive, they believe Kelly was blackmailing McCarthy with evidence he was the Ripper. They note McCarthy had not evicted Kelly although she owed several weeks in back rent. “I know we're never going to know,” says Gagnon. “This person did not leave a conveniently signed confession.” In the century since the Ripper struck, the cffse has been tH® subject of scores of books, articles, plays and movies.

The NDP, which held eight of the 28 federal seats in the province at dissolution, says its polls show the Progressive Conservatives are vulnerable in the Okanagan region, which has historically been small-c conservative. Ron Johnson, the NDP's chief campaign organizer in British Columbia, says there are worries that free trade could damage the area's fruit industry the way it may hurt grape growers. He also cites disillusionment with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney. The Tories can't be counted out, but there's a lingering sense among residents that the valley in southeastern British Columbia is overlooked by Ottawa. NOT MUCH TALK Kevin Kihlen, who runs a Kelowna hair salon, says people in the area aren't talking much about the issues. Interest is generally low key because they feel the election outcome will be decided in Central Canada. “They feel’ that by the time they vote, the government's elected,” Kihlen says. Lake Okanagan, 100 kilometres long and less than 10 kilometres at its widest point, wriggles north to south like a dew worm on a rainswept sidewalk. ‘I'm not running because | happen to be considered pro-life ...' The lake, its hilly shores dotted with fruit orchards, vineyards and resort enclaves, is a magnet for tourists and retirees. Electoral boundaries have been redrawn several times and the Okanagan has usually returned Conservatives, Liberals or members of the defunct national Social Credit party. The exceptions were in two elections in the 1940s and early 1950s when the NDPs predecessor, the Co-operative Commonwealth Fed- eration slipped in. GOT NEW SEAT Redistribution has expanded the valley's rep- resentation in the Commons to three seats from two. Tory Fred King, who held the southern riding of Okanagan-Similkameen, is running in the new riding of Okanagan-Similkameen-Merritt, which has 77,000 res- idents. Although not a high-profile member of the Commons, King’s ties to fruit growers and small business make him the apparent favorite over NDP candidate Jack Whittaker and Liberal Joanne Grimaldi. The Tories, however, are a little jumpy after the NDP crushed the Social Credit party in a provincial byelection last summer. Altough seen largely as a protest against Prémier Bill Vander Zalm, the size of the NDP victory in Boundary-Similkameen — 5,000 votes — has observers thinking that perhaps voters broke a psychological barrier against voting NDP. The races in the other two ridings are even less clear cut. WAS SPLIT Okanagan Centre, with a population of 85,000, covers Kelowna and its suburbs, which used to be divided between the two old ridings.

Ok Urine testing spots cancer NEW YORK (AP) — A simple urine test has identified people with bladder cancer at an early treatable stage and may be useful in dealing with other forms of the disease, the U.S. National Cancer Institute said. Existing tests to di: bladder metasta: sensitive chemical ELISA test (for enzyme-linked im- munosorbent assay), which allows detection of minute amounts of a hi The researchers used a very test called an p, with 78,000 residents, covers most of the old riding of Okanagan North but adds areas that used to belong to the Kamloops riding. Its hub is Vernon, at the north end of the lake. The NDP thinks this is its best shot in the valley. Lyle MacWilliam carries the NDP banner in Okanagan Shuswap. ABORTION ISSUE Okanagan North was held by Tory Vince Dantzer, who is not running again. Dantzer, a backbencher, was first elected in 1980 and re-elected by more than 17,000 votes.in 1984. He made headlines earlier this year when he said the NDP seemed to be against everything but “abortion and sodomy”. It was a vicious shot but not surprising because abortion is a bitterly divisive issue in the area. MaeWilliam supports the NDP’s pro-choice stance while his Tory opponent, real-estate man Jake Spoor, is best known for his stint as the anti-abortion chairman of the Vernon Jubilee Hospital's board of directors. Last August, Mulroney chose Vernon to state his personal position on abortion during an open-line radio show. He said he didn’t support abortion on demand but accepted that it may be necessary in some cases. Neither Spoor nor MacWilliam wants to make abortion an issue. “It's the kind of issue that can get out of hand so quickly,” says MacWilliam. “I'm not looking at targeting him in that respect.” IMAGE DECISION Spoor has been trying to shed his label as a one-issue candidate. “I don’t think it (abortion) is going to be a serious issue in this riding,” says the Dutch-born Conservative. “I'm not running because I happen to be considered pro-life. People kriow my stand. We went through some of the most difficult times.” Instead he wants to talk about free trade, the environment and the valley's water resources — exactly the things MacWilliam wants to talk about. Daye Simpson, mayor of nearby Lumby, is running for the Liberals in Okanagan-Shuswap. Like the rest of the valley, unemployment is a chronic problem in the riding. Joblessness in the Okanagan is usually three or four points above the national average and jumps seasonally when part-time fruit-pickers and tourism industry workers are laid off. MacWilliam says he recognizes the valley's conservative bent and is playing down party doctrine. “I've never put the ideological aspects of the NDP in the forefront,” he says. “I've always put the community first.” KEEP TO BASICS Pragmatism also holds in Kelowna, where Bryan Mclver carries the NDP colors in Okanagan Centre. a 42-year-old insurance agent, McIver is no ideal cancer often involve biopsies, a removaf of tissue that poses some risk ‘an is often painful.

One of the researchers who de veloped the urine test said it detects a protein associated with the spread of tumors. The test has also been, used to detect kidney cancer, pros- tate cancer and a nerve-cell cancer called neuroblastoma, he said. “It seems to be in all the cancers we have screened,” said the re- searcher, Dr. Raouf Guirguis. The test is based on the detection of a protein called autocrine motility factor, or AMF. Guirguis, Elliott Schiffmann and their colleagues report the findings on bladder cancer in the current issue of the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The researchers do not know yet whether the new test will identify 4 Kootenay Cattle Co 3 _ For a GREAT Party Banquet and Dinner-Dancing Event ! “ 364-0922 | cancers other than bladder cancer at an early enough stage for them to be effectively treated, Guirguis said. They now are using the test with volunteers from the U.S. military and in Egypt where bladder cancer is a serious problem, he said. If these expanded trials show that the test is accurate, it can be used both as a screenig test — to diagnose cancer — and as a followup test, to determine whether cancer has been eradicated in patients who have’ re- ceived cancer treatments. “The protein is produced in the transformed or malignant cells,” Guirguis said. “We think it's stimu- lating the movement of the cancer DR.

There’s a significant difference between the cost of electricity or oil, and natural gas — a resource British Columbia measures in the trillions of cubic feet. Just as important as savings in home heating costs will be the impact of natural gas on the economy and the environment. The cost of energy is a major factior in determining where new businesses will locate. The pipeline makes Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast hot competitors for new industries and new jobs as well as making existing industry more efficient And in the gas fields of northeastern B.C. there will be stepped-up exploration and development to prepare for an increase of 10 to 15 per cent in the province's gas sales. For the environment gas will cut air pollution Gas has 50 per cent less potential for acid rain than oil, and 90 per cent less grit and dust.
