Superior Court Judge Nat Agliano said Oakland, where the Raiders began playing in 1963, does not have the right to claim the team under the law, which cities use to claim private property for public for 26th place on the all-time list with Gil Hodges.

Seeenveuesy seaaecseacts ubeseas?: Lenora Nutter doean’t mind a rainy day. In fact, she welcomes them. To be cooped up in her sewing room with a half-finished quilt, the ‘rain streaming down: her windows is no problem. “The day goes and I don't even notice it was a rainy day. It wasn't a rainy, day for me. Lenora is a “craft hobbiest,” which ‘means sh dabbles in just about every craft there is, from sewing and crocheting to beadwork and macrame. She:tmakea, comforters, pot holders, a half dozen different kinds of rag dolls and clowns, crocheted poodles, chickens, af ghans, welcome mats out of fabric seraps and Christmas decorations, “I never throw out a scrap,” she confessed. followed Lenora into her bedroom where she pulled out three suitcases jampacked with her creations. “When I accumulate too much stuff I enter a craft fair.” Displaying her various items she referred to some as “recycled.” These recycled pieces, I learned, were made out of’ other things; a housecoat that doesn't fit anymore is. made into pajamas for a grandchild; a blanket that's “had-it” is used as the backing for a comforter, and so on. She collects craft magazines by the dozens and raids used book sales and thrift shops for old ones. “The older the better. I buy them like crazy.” Lenora was born in Saskatchewan. By the time she was 12 she was making her own clothes, and by the time she was a teenager she was designing and sewing all of ” her clothes without a pattern. Her mother had taught her the sewing basics and Lenora just seemed to pick up the rest, Fashion design is what this youngster wanted to go into and her spare time was spent doodling fashions on paper. “When I was going to school I used to design clothes in my spare time, and I always sewed my own clothes and I always liad what I wanted. My girlfriends had to wear the things that their'mothers made.” She © continues, “There were very few things that.I had that I didn't make.” The talent for doing this’ was largely learned by experience. At one point she applied to a fashion design school in Vancouver. “And they asked what I could do and when I showed them they said, ‘We can’t do anything for you. The best thing you ean dois to get together and start a little shop on your own.’ "But starting a shop requires money, more than Lenora could scrape up, so she contented herself with working for other people and doing dressmaking out of her own home. “Way back when I was a young girl I took a cor- respondence course sponsored by the Women’s Institute. ‘That was the nearest I could come to getting any course in my line of interest.” When Lenora’ and her late husband moved to Castlegar from Nanaimo, Lenora got odd. jobs. She also worked with senior citizens in Raspberry Village and Grand Forks, and for eight months in a home in Calgary. In Raspberry Village she was in charge of “special activities.” The residents would watch and learn while Lenora showed them. various crafts. While she was raising her family of six children — Roy, Judy, Joan, Lorraine, Ruth and Rob — she did a lot of dressmaking and altering out of her home and at various fabric shops throughout the area. She did “a lot of altering. One thing that struck me was there was a lady who had a person doing some sewing for her and the darn things never fit. She gave me a number of articles that never fit. I used to wonder why she didn't come to me in the. first place!” Lenora has that remarkable ability to be ‘able to loak ata garment, either in a picture or on a person, and be able to “see” the pattern in her mind. How do you do this?. I asked. “I don't know. I guess my eye perception is very 508) J don't use a ruler either,” she confessed. “I eye And when I double check it with a tape it's Ae always right on.” Her daughters also sew, she told me, but “they.use a pattern. They get disgusted with me,” she laughed, “because I don't do things according to any rules. When it turns out, well, what's wrong with that?” She remembers that on two occasions her. girls came home with school sewing projects they were having trouble with. “I pretty near got them in dutch. She (her daughter) brought something home from school and I showed her my way of Study touts By AUSTIN RAND Paramedics are better than conventionally trained ambulance attendants at saving lives of those who suffer cardiac arrest, indicates a British Columbia study. Cardiac arrest, in which the heart suddenly starts to beat wildly and then ceases to effectively pump blood at all, is a major cause of sudden death. The study headed by Dr. Les Vertesi of the B.C. Emergency Health Services Commission, describes the outcome of $68 cardiac arrests in the Greater Vancouver area during an eight-month period. Conventionally trained ambulance attendants han- died 110 of these cases and paramedics, who are trained in a wide variety of emergency medical procedures, handled 248. Twenty-five per cent of those treated by paramedics made it to hospital alive compared with only seven per cent of those treated by conventionally trained ambulance attendants. Eleven per cent of those treated by paramedics were ultimately discharged from hospital compared with only two per cent of the cases handled by ambulance at- tendants. If the cardiac arrest victim was given cardio- pulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by a bystander, it still made a difference whether a paramedic or conventional ambulance attendant subsequently handled the case. Of 48 patients who got CPR from a bystander, 80 per cent survived to discharge when handled by a paramedic, compared with only six per cent if an ambulance attendant took over from the bystander. This suggests, the researchers say, that any commu- nity planning a program for dealing with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest “should consider both paramedic training and community CPR programs together, rather than one or the other alone.” CIRCUMCISION i Although the Canadian Pediatric Society opposes circumcision except on medical or religious grounds, some parents still insist on the procedure for their male infants. hygiene easier and to match the newborn boy with other males in the family, a New Brunswick study indicates. But the study of 50 couples who insisted on cir- cumcision found that in more than a third of the couples the father had not been circumcised. However, the great majority of the couples already had at least one son who had been circum Dr. Paul Taylor of the Verett Chalmers Hospital in + LINDA HALL Getting to Know Your Neighbor LENORA NUTTER This lady doesn’ t HOMEMADE COMFORTER . . .

Besides quilts and comforters, she makes pot paramedics Fredericton also found in his study that mothers under the age of 20 rarely insist on the procedure for their newborn sons. Statistics Canada reports that in most provinces fewer than half of infant males now are circumcised. DRUG STUDY Psychoactive or mood-affecting prescription drugs, including tranquillizers, are widely used by older Canadians, a Manitoba study suggests. Fifty-six per cent of women and 42 per cent of men sarapled in the study had a long-term prescription for some form of psychoactive drug, the study found. Twenty-five per cent of women and 12 per cent of men had prescriptions for two or more such drugs in a single year. The study was carried out by Dr. Fred Aoki and col- leagues at the University of Manitoba's Health Sciences Centre. It focused on the roughly 80 per cent of Mani- tobans 65 and older described as “heavy” users of pres- eription drugs. Overall, combining psychoactive drugs and other drugs, the 181 men in the sample averaged eight pres- criptions per year while the 272 women averaged 8.5 prescriptions. Psychoactive drugs occupied three of the top 10 spots among the categéries of drugs used, with benzo- diazepines, a class of tranquilizers that includes Valium, being the second most commonly prescribed kind of drug. The researchers warn that older people who take numerous drugs have a higher risk of adverse reactions because the elderly metabolize drugs slowly, allowing the drugs to accumulate in their system. CANCER METHOD Anew method of detecting early stages of cancer by injecting tiny bubbles of fat called liposomes that seek out tumors has been successfully tested in the laboratory, researchers say. Scientists from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, City of Hope National Medical in nearby Duarte, and Vestar Research, a private Pasadena firm, called the de velopment “a significant advance in the ability to get liposomes to the tumors.” The hollowed-out liposomes, approximateiy one- hundredth the size of a red blood cell, were “loaded” with a radioactive substance, then injected into mice. By projecting the radioactive image on a computer screen, scientists could determine the size and location of tumors smaller than 100 milligrams that were undetectable by conventional means. holders, a half do: a different kinds of, ra and ‘clown: and a wide LET ‘EM EAT CAKE . sortment of other craft items. dolls ighans « Erin Cawte thought cake was good enough fo let younger brother Shawn have a taste at the recent Castlegar slowpitch wind-up barbecue. LENORA NUTTER ...a“craft hobbiest’ doing things, and when she went to class the next day the teacher said that that wasn’t the way, and who told you to do it?” But Lenora insists that her way is “a lot easier.” The main thing Lenora objects to in a lot of sewing classes is the waste of fabric. “I grew up when you pinched every penny. I always found when buying material I can pretty near save a yard.” Lenora scours the remnant boxes. “I find a remnant and when I say that I'm going to make a blouse out of it, they (the clerks) say, ‘You can't make a blouse out of that, no way. It’s too small.’ " But Lenora surprises them all and turns one out. ‘ Now that she is retired, she no longer does dress- making for profit. It’s now strictly for herself and her 11 grandchildren. In the past sewing was “a necessity for making money. Now I sew just for pleasure. I'm supposed to be retired, but I don't know what retirement means. A lot of times I am sure I am the busiest woman on the street.” Although sewing was her first love, throughout the years Lenora has picked up other crafts. “A lot of people have one line that they specialize in. I am just a general hobbiest, a craft hobbiest,” she says. But people are still interested in her work. Her. booth is always crowded at craft fairs and she said that she can't keep-anything in her house. “People come over and they see things that they want to buy. It's kind of nice to think that people still value my expertise.” Lenora is a member of the Robson Women's Institute, and made all the silk corsages for their annual conference this past spring. She was the Institute president for two years, and made the organization's fabric publicity banner. That, and her crafts, keep her busy. So what if this is one of the wettest Julys on record. Lenora isn't noticing. “The days and weeks aren't long enoush fs for me. When I hear peuple complain that they bored jt annoys me. There's no need to be bored.” Strips indicate spoilage ITHACA, N.Y. (AP) — Enzyme strips on milk car. tons and meat wrappert could serve as “traffic lights’ for food spoilage by turn- ing from green to red when temperatures are too warm, Cornell University scientists say. The strips, already used in the chemical industry, could give consumers an accurate reading of the freshness o! dairy products, meat, fish, frozen foods, drugs, film, and even human blood, the re- searchers said. The bandage-sized strips have an enzyme and a chem- ical medium separated by a seal that is broken when the package is filled. If the tem- perature goes too high or the product gets too old, the en- zyme turns color. Green means fresh, yellow means possibly spoiled and red means definitely spoiled, according to Cornell gradu- ate student Vikran Mistry, who worked with food sci- ence professor Frank Kosi- kowski. The spoil strips are more reliable than purchase-date tags, which can't account for improper storage, Mistry said. The company is working to bring down the cost of the strips from 16 cents to about a penny apiece so they could be used widely on food pack- —CostiewsPhote by Dione Strondberg a8C8, Mistry said.”
