Things are booming in B.C.
and the population is no excep-

Recent statistics show that the
Province is experiencing a popu-
lation explosion at a rate that is

almost double the number of _

deaths.

In 1994 there were 46,924 live
births reported, which far out-
numbers the reported 25,795
deaths.

Health officials say that's the
most babies ever delivered in the
Province, although the birth rate
per capita is declining at 12.9
births per 1,000 residents—the
lowest in 40 years.

In 1993/94 there were 90

while in 1994/95 there were 92.

Public health nurse Cindy
Talarico said teen pregnancies in
the community remain a concern,
although they have slightly
decreased in the last four years.

Progress is being made,” said
Paul Ramsey, B.C.'s Minister of
Health.

The statistics will be of special
significance when regional
health boards and community
health councils begin to make
decisions regarding health care.

There were nine teen preg)
cies in 1991, four in 1992, eight
in 1993 and five in 1994. This
year there have been five teen
pregnancies to date

Talarico said she believes the
decrease is due to education

and birth control.

“There has been a fair amount
of effort in that direction. It’s
nice to see.”

appears to be ashamed of her-

chastising her daughter.

I ask you, Ann Landers,
what kind of message is
THAT?

But this is not the end of
the story. I suddenly realized
that my S-year-old daughter
was also in the room, watch-
ing the soap. I turned to her
(embarrassed) and said, “In
real life, honey, a boy and a
girl don't get in bed together
that fast.” She answered, “Oh,
I know, They have a glass of
