Olson, 58, faced a ii of life im ment. Court heard that Olson was inflating a small balloon inside the infant's nose, to ostensibly expand the girl's skull, last June 3 when it burst and became lodged in her air passage. She died within minutes. Medical specialists testified at the trial that Robin had an incurably half-sized brain — a fact the victim's parents, clining to hopes of a miraculous cure, refused to believe. Eileen Ohama, the victim's 23-year-old mother, still believes in the treatment. She wants her son Christopher to undergo the same treatment for the same condition which afflicted Robin. “I still believe that it works,” she said. “I know it works. We'll take Christopher wherever we have to go.” Waite's decision effectively banned the balloon-inflation procedure in Alberta. But John Cosgrove, president of the Ontario Naturo- pathic Association, said the Canaian Naturopathic Asso- ciation and provi ffili carefully r ii the treatment, known as “bilateral nasal specific,” and still believe in its usefulness. Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, Ore., where Olson “It has been looked at closely and every time we come up with the conclusion that the benefits of the therapy outweigh the risks involved,” Cosgrove said in a telephone interview. Bernard Sadowski, president of the National College of Naturopathic Medicine in Portland, where Olson received his training and is a member of the board of trustees, said his college’ also defends the technique. He said the medial profession is going after natur- opathy. “I don’t understand why Olson was even charged,” said Sadowski. “If the girl's parents did not want to bring charges, why would anyone else care? It is naturopathy on trial, not Olson.” i He expects to talk with Olson this week to discuss a joint statement in response to Waite's sentence. Cosgrove, who knows Olson personally, said there was no negligence involved in the death of Robin Ohama. “I think the sentence is a travesty of justice and I am very saddened by the trial,” he said. Cosgrove, who has used the balloon-inflation iq’ WORK Cc cc himself, said his profession is upset about the infant’s death. But he added one fatality in thousands of applications demonstrates the minimal risk involved. He said the chilis’ age’ probably s@tied tothe “triégic ‘outcome along with the-fact the‘disorder she sufferedfromt caused spasms. Cosgrove was now worried about the reputation of naturopathy in Canada as a result of the Olson trial. He said the trial’and sentence served to define more clearly pzblic _rights and protection regarding treatment by any type of Everybody is welcome to attend a i practitioner. The case puts the responsibility at the criminal court level, said Cosgrove. Naturopaths are holders of four-year diplomas from the schools in Portland and Kitchener and study some of the same subjects that other students do before entering medical school. says ENTER THE DRAWS TO WIN >» Birches NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER WHIRLY BIRD SPREADERS AGRIFORM 20-10-52 YR.

Mondale won a New York primary landslide with an 18. percentage point cushion. Equally surprising was Hart's margin over Jesse Jackson — one percentage point. Hart said the race was only half over and predicted he would “come on strong” the rest of the way. “Tm not taking anything for granted,” Mondale said. “I would guess in Pennsyl vania we're about even.” The contenders did not tarry after the New York votes were counted. All headed for Pennsylvania to begin campaigning for the 172 delegates at stake in next Tuesday's primary. Hart salvaged something from the day with a victory in Wisconsin's non-binding presidential preference vote. Capitalizing on support from independents and cross-over Republicans, Hart captured 46 per cent of the vote com- pared to 42 for Mondale. Jackson had 10. Wisconsin Democrats will begin select ing delegates in caucuses Saturday. New York Democrats gave GIVES TESTIMONY Nurse upset by deaths TORONTO (CP) — Nurse Susan Nelles was “devas: tated” by a spate of “four deaths in four days” in early March 1981 at the Hospital for Sick Children, she told a royal commission Tuesday. Nelles said during her sec ond day of testimony she couldn't explain the deaths that ed .in the early nership between Mrch 6 and h 9, 1981. The diminutive native of Belleville, Ont., was asked by commission lawyer Paul La- mek if she saw any patterns in the deaths. “I only noted that we weren't able to resuscitate them,” Nelles said. “I couldn't explain it. “It was very upsetting be- cause we never seemed to get anywhere.” Nelles said she did not know “if it was normal” for cardiac babies to die more of- ten in the middle of the night, but when she asked doctors about the occurrence she was not given any answers. She agreed with earlier testimony by other nurses on cardiac wards 4A and 4B, where the deaths occurred, that they seemed to be having a run of “bad luck.” NOT GIVEN DRUG In other testimony, Nelles told the commission that neither she nor anyone else on the ward had given Janice Estrella doses of digoxin. But a post-mortem on Estrella, who was not prescribed the powerful heart drug, showed massive levels of digoxin in her system. Lamek also asked Nelles if she was shocked at the death of Frank Fazio, whose con- dition improved for a few days, then rapidly deterior- ated before his death Feb. 4, 1981. Nelles said she was not surprised but upset at the Robson - Raspberry Irrigation District ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING April 11, 1984 — 7:30 p.m. at Robson Hall THE TRUSTEES OFFICE AID DAC £88, fosccre omy se i100 complares / TO FUMANCIAL STATEANENTS — $21/H0UR cong Stor ute tute mangel hme byt least hat EXPERIENCED, COMPETENT rammace? AX RETURNS: tax returns quickly! Mondale a lopsided triumph in the state that will send the second largest delegation to the Democratic convention in San Francisco next July. With 98 per cent of the vote counted, Mondale had 605,486 or 45 per cent; Hart 368,098 or 27 per cent and Jackson 344,167 or 26 per cent. Mondale won 133 New York delegates compared to 72 for Hart and 47 for Jack son. With almost half the com- mitted delegates to the Dem- ocratic nominating conven- tion now chosen, Mondale has 861.25, while Hart has 512 and Jackson 140.5. It takes 1,967 to win the nomination. In Wisconsin, there was also a Republican primary, death of Fazio, whose condi- tion she called “very un- stable.” Neélles also said she could not explain why Fazio’s medi- cal sheet recording doses of digoxin and an antibiotic was not filled in and signed. “I can't be perfectly sure, but considering I had two children that night and medi- cations were a normal part of my duties . .. I would not have forgotten to give him his medication.” On Monday, Nelles denied she had given infants over- doses of digoxin and said she did not suspect anyone else at the hospital of having done 80. She acknowledged there had been disagreements be- tween her and nursing team leader Phyllis Trayner, es- vecially over Trayner’s ten- dency not to listen to Nelle’s opinions about patient care. NEW IN TOWN? LET US PUT OUT THE MAT with voters facing the al- ternative of voting “yes” or “no” for President Reagan. Yes won 96 per cent of the vote. Hart told supporters at a midtown hotel: “This cam- paign goes on to Pennsyl- vania. It goes on to Neb- raska, Oregon, to Texas and to California, and with your help it goes on to San Fran- ciso and on to the White House.” . a yw winner Glo surprise By TRISH WORRON TORONTO (CP) — The big question at the parties following the ACTRA Awatds on Tuesday night was “Has anyone seen The Undaunted?” Few had, it seemed, even though the docudrama — one of a five-episode series about the founding of Canada — was named best television program of the year at the 18th annual awards, presented by the actor-writer union, the Alliance of Canadian Cinema, Television and Radio Artists. Industry insiders conceded the winning TV program — an episode about the founding of Newfoundland by Elizabethan adventurer Sir Humphrey Gilbert — was a nicely done, low-budget piece. It was produced by Tom Cahill at CBC St. John’s. But most still thought it absurd that the show could knock out more deserving competition and the outcome will likely stir anew the movement to initiate a new form of awards to honor radio and TV productions. TWO OTHERS VIEW Vying with The Undaunted for top honors were the film Ready for Slaughter and Harry Rasky’s documen tary portrait of opera singer Teresa Stratas. Many believed the truly outstanding programs of the year were not even in the running. Absent from the top-program category were the highly praised mini-series Empire, Inc.; the children's show Fraggle Rock, the winner of an International Emmy; the Oscar-nominated documentary War and Gordon Pinsent’s well-received film The Life and Times of Edwin Alonzo Boyd. Empire was partially vindicated by winning four other awards, most notably top acting honors for Kenneth Welsh, who was universally lauded for his portrayal of the ruthless Montreal tycoon James Munro. Still, Gerald Pratley, a veteran film critic and chairman of the Ontario Film Institite, called the outcome of the awards “silly.” ‘NOT THE BEST’ “The Undaunted clearly was not the best program of the year,” said Pratley. “Anyone with an appreciation of what makes a good film would have had to have voted for Empire.” Pratley, who also served on the five-member jury who chose the best program, added there were “too many people on the judging panels who don’t use their common sense.” The four other members on the jury were music composer Lucio Agostini, artist Charles Patcher, performer Evelyn Miller and critic Herb Whittaker. * B.C.'s Lowest © 112 Different Styles ond colors, © 12,000 Garment Selection.
