The story of the modern “stu- dio glass” movement in North America dates back three decades.

Since those day, the glass move- ment has come of age, and now more than 100 American univer- sities and colleges offer glass as part of their curriculum. At pre- sent, only three such programmes are available in Canada. Conse- quently, many Canadian artists interested in pursuing glass inten- sively study in the US.

The Sun received the “Best Front Page” for August 14, 1991. The award winning front page ran the headline, Lockout Effective arrangements prior to travel can She thought it was indigestion when stomach pains laid her low during a holiday in Spain. But when it turned our to be peritoni- tis, the indigestion became acute- ly financial. “I had taken out excess travel and medical insurance,” the 39- year old woman told me. “But the hospital demanded $2,500 before they would even do any tests-and warned an even higher deposit would be needed if an operation became necessary. “My travelling companion had dollar travelers’ cheques, but the hospital refused to accept them. The banks weren't open and the weekend was coming up so he couldn't cash the cheques. The hospital would take Visa, which my friend had. But what with our travelling expenses, he was close to his limit. “He had to call a business associate in Canada who deposit- ed $10,000 to his Visa* Only then did the hospital go ahead with X- ray and ultrasound tests.” When surgery was indicated, the woman asked if it could be done in Canada “ i ning situation. The couple called the insur- ance company about advancing money to the hospital in Marbel- la, on the south coast of Spain. But apparently due to a commu- nications breakdown, the hospital said it had not been contacted. “In the hospital, there is limit- ed nursing care-they expect a family member to take care of the patient's needs,” said the woman Mike Grenby Syndicated Columnist who, ironically, works in hospital administration herself. “So my friend stayed with me practically 24 hours a day.” “But we still had to keep our hotel room. We couldn't get an outside phone line from the hos- pital and the switchboard was open only part of the day for incoming calls. So my friend had to use the hotel to make calls and take messages as he arranged for financial help, changes to travel plans an so on.” The woman spent one week in hospital. The bill: $11,082. “The hospital and doctors’ fees were the main items,” she said “They charged me $5,750 for the hospital stay and $4,800 for the two surgeons who did the opera- tion,” she said, “A private nurse for 15 hours following the Opera- tion cost $316. “T had to have the nurse as the hospital nursing staff doesn’t tend to any personal hygiene for Patients, and we needed somebody who could speak English as well as Spanish so we could deal with the medical staff in the hospital.” Now back in Canada, the woman is still recovering from both the medical and financial experience as she files her claim with the insurance company. The total cost came to more than $15,000 including the air fare and other additional transportation, long distance calls, translation ser- vices, meals, accommodation "and interest on the money my friend had to use because the insurance company didn’t advance funds to the hospital.” You cannot blame the hospital for wanting some money up front before treating a foreign visitor. And it appears you cannot always count on getting an advance from your insurance company in time, especially if you have an urgent health problem or are in a remote Part of the world. So before your next trip, once you have your out-of-country medical-hospital coverage, you should arrange for a source of These two young students were among a large group of students from Castlegar Primary School who spent one morning visiting the staff at Tulips Floral Co.
