NFB SERIES SLATED VANCOUVER — Sexuality is of- ten taught mechanically and imper- sonally. For generations the des- cription of the sperm swimming up the fallopian tubes has put students to sleep. With the Growing Up Series, the National .Film Board has tried to do something quite differ- ent Director Moira Simpson and pro- ducer Jennifer Torrance, the team that successfully brought the Green Thunib Players’ Feeling Yes, Feel- ing No sexual assault prevention series to film and video, have again worked together to produce the Growing Up Series. On three successive Thursdays, beginning Feb. 15 from 9 p.m. to 10 p-m., B.C.'s Knowledge Network will telecast the Growing Up Series, three films designed to help children nine to 12 years! old develop the survival skills they will need to cope with puberty and adolescence. The Knowledge Network is broad- cast on Channel 12 in the Castlegar, Trail and Nelson areas, and on anne! 43 in Winlaw, Channet 25 in Crescent Valley and Channel 15 in Vallican. ig Ka A City Hote Idol ran a stop sign at 8:30 a.m. while southbound on a street and hit a car eastbound on another street, ac- cording to Lawrence. The car’s driver was not injured. The singer will be cited for failing to stop for a stop sign, Lawrence said. Such a citation usually results in a fine. Idol was brought to the hospital at 9:10 a.m., said Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre spokesman Ron Wise. Idol suffered a compound fracture between the knee and ankle, said Wise, who described the fracture-as serious. Wise earlier said the perfor- mer suffered a fractured wrist, but said later that surgeons discovered the arm was broken. His publicist, Ellen Golden, knew only sketchy details of the accident, which occurred after Idol wrapped up work on a new album, Charmed Life, at a Hollywood studio and was riding home. She said she was initially told Idol was not at fault in the crash. She said earlier that he was not intoxicated. Golden said it was not immediately known what impact, if any, the ac- cident would have on Idol’s plans to begin work in three weeks in director Oliver Stone’s motion picture about the Doors rock band. Idol was to play a close friend of the late lead singer Jim Morrison, she said. It also was unknown whether Idol’s plans to release Charmed Life in late April and launch a concert” tour in July would be affected, Golden said. Idol— with his blond spiked hair, tight leather garb and curled lip — personifies the bad boy rock 'n’ roll image. He is best known for his 1984 album Rebel Yell, which produced the hit songs Eyes Without a Face and Rebel Yell. He followed his Rebel Yell success with the Whiplash Smile in 1987, which produced the hit singles To Be a Lover and Sweet Sixteen. He also had hits with Dancing with Myself and Mony Mony off his first album, Don’t Stop. Idol was most recently seen as part of the Who’s Tommy tour.

KATHLEEN TURNER DANNY VIO » NDP calls for hearings on Saskatchewan mill | ameter (CP) — The Saskat- chewan government is in conflict of interest and should allow an indepen- dent review of a pulp mill planned for Meadow Lake, say the NDP and an environmental group. Millar Western Pulp Ltd. and the province announced last week they will split the cost of building a $280- million pulp mill at Meadow Lake, an isolated community in northwest Saskatchewan. The NDP and the Saskatchewan Environmental Society said Monday the government should not be leading the environmental review because of its financial involvement. The government Mon- statement and make comments by Bert Weichel, president of the en- to the t Department. Environment Minister Grant Hodgins said there is merit in the proposal for an independent review, but stopped short of excluding the government from the review process. “It is always difficult in any project for the government to be both referee and player,’ Hodgins said in an in- terview. ‘‘It’s extremely important I stand back and look at the project ob- jectively.”” Ed Tchorzewski, NDP environ- ment critic, said the g s society, said the gover- mment has a clear bias because of its financial involvement. “I think there is a conflict of in- terest,’ Weichel said from Saskatoon. ‘‘What would be an im- provement would be an arms-length agency to do environmental reviews of this type."* Pa The enyiropmental society is pushing for public hearings into the pulp- Project. By ruling out formal heari the government is telling the publfc their inquiry into the project. “That would only be the case if significant and pertinent new. infor- mation were to be brought to light through the process that’s here,”’ he said, Tchorzewski said unless formal public hearings are held most, Saskat- chewan people will be frozen out of the review process. Millar Western claims the pulp mill will be free of the foul odor and pollution associated with conven- tional pulp mills. Although Millar Western has a review is likely to be judged day a 30-day public review period for » the pulp-mill project will begin Thur- sday. The review does not include formal hearings. The public invited to obtain copi Western’s environmental impact by people. “We must have an independent commission which can review the en- vironmental impact of such projec- ts,"’ said Tchorzewski. ‘‘Because of its financial commitment, the gover- nment is sitting in judgment of it- Cominco’s earnings up slightly in ‘89 VANCOUVER (CP) — Net ear- nings of Cominco Ltd. rose slightly in 1989 to $214.6 million, or $2.64 per share, from $213.5 million, or $2.56 per share, from the previous year. However, an extraordinary gain of $28.5 million in 1988 raised total ear- nings for the year to $242 million or $2.92 per share. Total revenues declined in $1.59 billion from $1.66 billion in 1988. Cominco said the stronger Canadian dollar against the U.S.dollar reduced after-tax earnings by approximately $22 million below 1988 levels. The company’s mining and in- tegrated metals division had an operating profit of $407.9 million, against $414.2 million in 1988. Earnings from Trail Metals, the Polaris mine, and from the remaining inventories of Pine Point Mines in- creased in 1989, but Sullivan mine production and profits fell sharply, as did the contribution from Highland Valley Copper. The fertilizer business had an operating profit of $38.2. ffiillion .in 1989, down from $48.4 million the year before. TORONTO (CP) — A gover: nment brochure being sent t small businesses at a cost to tax- payers of $1.3 million promises the proposed goods and services tax will result in lower operating costs and improved cash flow. The federal Finance Depar- tment has mailed out 1,855,000 copies of the 20-page brochure — 1.4 million English copies, 375,000 French copies and 80,000 bilingual ones — to businesses with sales of $6 million or less, the Toronto Globe and Mail said in a report from Ottawa. A Finance Department official said the brochures cost 70 cents each for printing, distribution and mailing, or a total of close to $1.3 million. “The GST is designed to strengthen our national economy, reduce the deficit and improve the competitive position of Canadian business,"’ says the brochure, titled Goods and Services Tax — Information for Small Business. Legislation that would impose the GST effective next Jan. 1 is BUSINESSES TO GET TAX BROCHURE ‘Geir debated on the House of Commons with both Liberal and New Democrat members of Parliament firmly opposed. The brochure describes the theory behind the GST and how the seven per cent levy will be ap- plied in a range of situations. The brochure contends that small business will have lower operating costs under the GST because it will replace the current 13.5 per cent federal sales tax that is how ‘‘hidden’’ in the cost of many goods and services. “With the GST, however, you should benefit from savings in your operating costs,’’ the document says. ‘‘This is because you will recover all the GST direc- tly paid on the goods and services you buy for your business and your suppliers will recover all the GST they have paid. The brochure says a small retailer with annual sales of $600,000 and average inventory on hand of $100,000 can expect to get ‘‘a net benefit of just over $1,000 from institution of the GST. are not said Weichel. “The whole point of ‘public hearings is to come up with a better project,’’ he said. ‘Public in- volvement gives us the opportunity to come up with improvements and to assess alternatives." Hodgins said he has the discretion to order public hearings or a board of ng: plan to recycle waste water from the pulp mill, for the first two years of operation treated wastes will be dumped into the nearby Beaver River.
