Lumley's patience pays off

in Calgary's favor was squared at one game apiece.
“Slats (Oilers coach Glen Sather) had been telling me
for two months, ‘Lummer, we know what you can do,

we're saving you for the right moment,” Lumley says
with a laugh. “I told him, ‘Don't wait so long next time.’”

REMAINS PATIENT

Patience has been Lumley’s biggest asset all season.
An agitator throughout his career — although he once
scored 15 goals in 12 consecutive games, the second
longest streak in modern NHL history —
Lumley admits he was sometimes agitated himself by the
inactivity.

A semi-permanent seat in the press box isn’t a role
easily accepted by many players, but it's one that the
five-foot-11, 180-pound Toronto native — one of the
original NHL Oilers — has eased into this season.

He really didn't have much choice. Last summer it -

became apparent he either had to accept that role or, at
age 31, retire after seven NHL seasons.

“In the summer I phoned Slats (coach Glen Sather)
and said, ‘If you don't want me to come back, tell me now
s0 I won't have to work out for two months and then
you'll give me the old heave-ho come September.”

Sather’s reply was a welcomed relief. It settled the

value of his shares in Maple

publicity-hungry president
of Maple Leaf Gardens Ltd.,

“When it hits 200 (dollars a

About 18 months ago, a

SEOUL (AP) — Amid a
warning from North Korea
and a Soviet move to keep
professionals out of the
Olympics, the Association of
National Olympic Commit-
tees began its fifth general
assembly Tuesday.

As Juan Antonio Samar-
anch, president of the Inter-
national Olympic Committee,
and South Korean president
Chun Doo-Hwan helped open
the session, the absent North
Koreans continued to warn of
facing the staging
of the 1988 Summer Games in
South Korea.

The official Workers (Com.
munist) Party newspaper
said “the powder of war...
might explode at any mo
ment” and called the situa-
tion on the Korean peninsula
reminiscent of the atmos.
phere in 1950, just before the
Korean war.

“It is an adventure to hold
the Asian or Olympic Games
in Seoul, considering that the
danger of war is hourly in-

creasing in South Korea,” the
newspaper said in a com-
mentary broadcast by North
Korea's official Korean Cen-
tral News Agency and moni-
tored in Tokyo.

North Korea wants to
share the host role for the
1988 Summer Games with
the South Koreans.

With only North Korea and
seven other eligible delega.
tions absent, a record 650 ac-
credited people from 152
countries set out to deal with
a heavy agenda

At the top of the list is a
new Athletes’ Code. If adop-
ted by the full IOC in Octo-
ber, the code could throw
open the Olympics to all ath-
letes — professional and
amateur drastic change
in the eligibility rules for the
Games.

The Soviet Union has
placed a resolution on the
agenda saying that to allow
professionals into the Games
would give capitalist coun
tries a big edge.

Immunization important

Immunization is the theme
of International Nurse Day,
May 12, and local registered
nurses are marking the oc
ecasion by reminding parents
of the importance of measles
immunization.

“Measles is oné of the most
serious childhood diseases,
and one of the most con-
tagious,” says Beverly Onis-
chak, pfedident of the Castle-
gar and District chapter of
the Registered Nurses Asso-
ciation of B.C.

“While most children in
Canada are immunized

IN GOLDEN

against measles, one in five
preschoolers in British Col-
umbia is not,” Onischak adds
in a prepared release.

Measles is a lot more
serious than having red spots
on your face for a couple of
days, she warns.

“In fact, one child in a
thousand who gets measles
will suffer from brain inflam-
mation which can lead to
mental retardation. And,
tragically, one child in 3,000
with -measies- wi ai

But measles‘is easily pre-
vented. One shot should give

a lifetime of protection. All
children over 12 months old
should be immunized, Onis-
chak says.

“If your child has not been
immunized, contact your
local public health nurse,”
she urged.

In other nursing news, 12
members of the local chapter
were present at the April 15
meeting.

Vice-president Mary Asse-
lin reported on the chapter
presidents’ meeting.

Birth defects studied

VANCOUVER (CP) — A
high number of birth defects
in a southeastern British
Columbia community has
sparked a study by a team of
University of B.C. health re-
searchers.

The provincial government
has called in Dr. Terry An
derson, director of the uni-
versity's department of
health—care—and—epidemiot
ogy. to head a preliminary
study of birth records dating
from the 1950s to see if a pat
tern emerges linking the
birth defects to an environ.
mental agent.

The high number of birth
defects in Golden was first
noticed in the spring of 1984
when three consecutive ba.
bies were born with chrom
osoma!l abnormalities, two
with Down's syndrome and
one with trisomy 13, a severe
chromosome defect resulting
in multiple handicaps.

“It was quite shocking; it
was extremely improbable
that it would occur,” said Dr-
Bob Wilson, who delivered
the three babies.

Anderson said that “clear.
ly the number of birth abnor.
malities is much higher than
should be expected for the
area, but the $64 question is
whether it is a rare coin
cidence or whether it is
caused by some external fac
tor.”

Hospital records show
seven children between 1977
and 1984 were born with
either Down's syndrome or
trisomy 13.

Six of the seven were born
to families living within an
eight-block radius, said Wil-
son.

“That is about 10 times the
normal incidence in_our_pop-
ulation which is predominant.
ly yound, healthy , families,”
he said. “The average is one
‘in about 600 children are
born with Down's syn
drome.”

Golden. which is primarily
a railway and logging town,
has a population of about
3,500.

The provincial govern-
ment’s Health Surveillance
Registry shows that in the
same seven-year period, four
children were born with cleft
palates, five were born with
heart defects and five de
veloped a stomach defect
called pyloric stenosis within
two months of birth, Wilson
said,

It is not known what rate
these defects would be ex
pected to occur in the aver.
age population.

Wilson said 90 per cent of
the children born with
Down's syndrome were con
ceived during periods of high
water in May, June and July,
and all but one of the families
live in the vicinity of a well
that is on a flood plain.

A test of water last year
revealed no contaminants, he
said.

Public concern over the
births, however, halted the
spraying of all pesticides for
mosquito control during 1985
and will stop the 1986 spray-

WANTED

ing program, said Dr. Arnold
Lowden, medical officer for
the region.

But Anderson said -he
won't speculate on the reason
behind the birth defects until
his team finishes the study.

His team hopes to establish
whether the high defect rate
has been consistent in Golden
for the last 30 years, whether
it has been noticed in any or
all the towns along the Col
umbia River or whether pes
ticide spraying coincided
with the conception of any of
the births.

Anderson said the team
hopes to complete a pre
liminary report by the end of
May
