Best during a two-year period, with some projects as long as five years in the making, the security force will face what Best, a former FBI agent, called “the law enforcement challenge of the century.” “What we are talking about is the doctrine of reasonableness,” Best said in an interview. “This is an international sporting event, not a security event.” The security price tag for the Games has been estimated at nearly $150 million, with federal costs alone at more than $80 million. MONITOR ACTIVITIES The anti-terrorist operations centre, under Los Angeles FBI agent-in-charge -Richard Bretzig, is monitoring the activities of more than 40 terrorist groups that could threaten the Games. Besides that, ananalysis was made of each of the 140 teams attending the Games to find what special security needs they might have. CAUSE FOR CONCERN Bretzig said two domestic groups were alo cause for coneern: FALN, a Puerto Rican nationalist group, and Omega 7, an anti-Castro group made up mostly of Cuban exiles. Besides the studies, security experts have also made photographic surveys of every foot of the Olympic villages and venues. ‘And there is one other high-risk team security chiefs are concerned about. \ “How better can some terrorist embarrass the U.S. than by an-attack on an American athlete,” Los Angeles County sheriff Sherman Block said, “With the withdrawal of the Russians, that danger ineréased. “The Soviets would love to point out that we couldn't even protect.our own and thus show their boycott was justified.” ‘The visible security is the hardware and personnel. Last year, Congress authorized a $50 million defence department appropriation for material assistance to local law enforcement agencies involved in the Games. Hil) said federal agencies, including the FBI, Secret Service, Customs, igratis and Sesvice, among others, are planning to spend between $20 million and $80 million on the Games. ‘The rest of the federal money went for items such as 500,000 round of ammunition, 330 M-16 rifles, night- vision devices and tents. ‘There area also 14 bomb-sniffing dogs from the mili- tary to beef up local forces, along with 70 military bomb disposal experts. Of the 18,000 people in the security force, about 10,000 will be unarmed private security guards, mostly young people wearing khaki uniforms and blue berets, who will act as the “eyes and ears” of police, Best said. In addition to the FBI and local police, the New York City-based Guardian Angels sald they will be at Olympic venues to watch out for pickpockets-and troublemakers. Local police say they won't object, as long as the group stays out of their way. Arena BULY 18 — Conce races roc ALY 20 — SunFest ALY 22 — SunFest welcome JAY 21 — Suntiower Run, 8:30 0...

HY i TT | - $ a i ¢ CT scanner. x ‘ Thousands of area residents have joimed the drive, donating to a special CT scanner fund that: now totals :more than $311,000. Those residents should know later this month after the hospital's talks with Health Ministry officials if the provincial government will help fund the $1 million machine. But what is a CT scanner? What does it do? And how does it work? Barely a decade old, the CT seanner was invented in 1973 by Sir Godfrey Hounsfield, who shared the Nobel Prize in 1979. He combined the x-ray — first discovered in 1895 — with new advances in the computer industry. The result was a machine that allows doctors to study cross-sectional views of the head and body, much like examining a single slice in a loaf of bread — without cutting the loaf. It marks a significant leap in diagnostic practice Like the x-ray, the CT scanner has been used for diagnosing medical problems. But that’s really where the similiarity ends. With the simple x-ray, if you need to see the heart, you had to look through the rib cage. To see inside the brain, you had to look through the skull. Details of the anatomy. such as the optic nerve, weren't visible. In addition, to extend the capability of x-rays, it was necessary to develop techni for visual For example, in some cases the patient had to drink a barium solution or have an air bubble injected in the spine. With the CT scanner, all that changed. HOW IT WORKS The CT scanner is in fact made up of a number of components, of which the actual scanner is just one. Equipment consists of a movable patient handling table, a scanner, an x-ray generator, computer and oper ator’s consol. Trail Regional Hospital plans to house the machine in an 800-square foot area below the extended care unit, currently used by ambulance staff. The space needed for the actual scanning machine will be about 400 square feet. The scanning machine ‘lt marks a significant leap in diagnostic practice’ consists of the movable patient table about seven feet long and two feet wide, and the scanner itself which contains the x-ray source and detectors. The scanner is box-like, measuring about five feet wide by seven feet high with a doughnut-like opening. The patient is placed on the table and moved through the opening. Tens of thousands of pinpoint x-rays are taken in a 360 degree radius. The x-ray tube and detec tors rotate around the patient during the scan. ) sec onds, during which time the patients must held their breath to prevent blurring the image. A complete examination depends on the area the doctor wants scanned. The g image is a view ofthe affected area, much like cutting the body in slices and the viewing the many slices “end on.” That's why the CT scan is entirely different in from the ional x-ray. TECHNOLOGY CHANGED Ct technology improved rapidly in the first five years of its discovery, but authorities now say it has reached a plateau. Perhaps the greatest changes have been the *The CT scanner can take “slices'' of the body as thin as five millimetres’ speed of the sean — now five seconds or Jess, but initially four to five minutes — and the quality of the image. When the machine first came out, more than 40 corporations competed for the market. Now the top five share 80 per cent of the U.S. market. WHAT'S IT USED FOR? Is the CT scanner just a space age x-ray machine or does it have wider uses? A partial answer can be found in the New England Journal of Medicine's May 1984 issue in an arteile by Dr. Ronald Evens, a professor at the Washi Uni ity School of dicine in St. Louis. Evens writes: “In clinical practice, CT is the primary imaging procedure for the diseases of the central hervous system. It is increasingly important throughout the rest of the body, especially for pathologic changes in the retro-peritoneum, pelvis, mediastinum and spine.” Neil Enders, retiring administrator at Trail Regional Hospital, has a simpler answer. He says during a 10-month period Trail Hospital referred some 200 patients to either Vancouver or Kelowna for CT scans. “All the patients that were sent out would have been scanned here if we had the equipment,” he said. Enders also cited neurology as a key area, but said it is only one of several areas for which the CT scanner can be used. He pointed to the CT scanner’s use in cancer patients and trauma vietims, and said it would replace several other costly diagnostic procedures. There are about 2,000 to 2,200 CT units in the United States and about 600 units are purchased every year there. A recent survey showed that Newfoundland is without a CT scanner, while B.C. has a policy of approving the machine in areas which servie a minimum 170,000 residents. The nearest CT scanner in B.C. is in Kelowna, which has a head scanner. The nearest body scanner is in Kamloops. Vancouver General Hospital has two machines and there are five in the Spokane area. . fies. INVENTED IN 1973 .. .

Tom Johnston, chairman of the West Kooténay Regional Public Affairs committee, made the comment in a pre- pared release. He was dis- cussing the draft of an agree- ment, which follows a Sep- tember 1968 release of a Ministry of Forests discus sion paper titled Forest Man agement, Partnership Prop- osal, Tree Farm Licences. The draft form of the sub- sidiary agteement received favorable comments by tree farm licence holders, indus i and other out field examination by For- est Service staff. “The agreement means we wouldn't do the type of subsidiary to the five-year Management and Working Plan of the TFL — sets out standards, industry and gov ernment r ac ilities and ii Instead, a yearly audit of each activity would be made, says Johnston. Penalties for not complying with the sub- sidiary agreement would be levied by the Forest Service.

So often we hear about life's dark side, we hear about rape and murder and theft; all sorts of examples of human selfishness. But once in a long while we hear about people who still live by old- fashioned principles, people who place self-interest sec- ond to the interests of others. A young man by the name of Eric Devain found a paper bag full of jewelry by some railroad tracks. The bag had apparently been tossed off the train by someone who didn't want to be caught with it. Eric reported his find to the police. When he left the jewelry in their custody, he. thought he'd never see it forward and claim his prop- erty. The rightful owner never showed up. Finally, the time period of waiting specified by the law went by and the jewelry was passed on to the finder, our Just recently, some of the jewels were sold at Christie's Auction house in New York for $280,000.
