A Pee Wee team made up
primarily of house-league
players from Castlegar trav-
elled to Fruitvale over the
Christmas holidays to parti-
cipate in the annual Beaver
Valley Christmas House
League Tournament.

The 11 and 12-year-old
team played four games, fin-
ishing with a 2-2 win-loss
record, placing fourth out of
six teams.

In the first game against a
team from Beaver Valley,
Trevor Sutherland scored for
Castlegar in the second
period, assisted by Pongracz
to tie the score 1-1.

Castlegar then took the
lead with a goal by the
game's MVP Ryan Jolly. The
only assist went to Tim Gale.

Beaver Valley sent the

Ballard admits defeat

TORONTO (CP) — After

times in the next 38. Harold
Ballard has gotten the hint.

The 81-year-old Leaf own-
er has given up on his team,
which sports a 6-29-5 won-
lost-tied record heading into
a@ game tonight against Bos-
ton Bruins at Maple Leaf
Gardens.

“We're in a position where
we can't catch up anyway,”
Ballard said Tuesday.
troit is 14 points ahead of us
now.

“It's fine to say we can win
seven games in the second
half, but Detroit is going to

The Red Wings, fourth in

13-23-5 record after losing 4-2
Tuesday night to Washington

“Toronto is the flagship of

damn holes in it that you
can't bail out fast enough,”
Ballard said. “I've told them

Namara and coach Dan Mal-
oney) all deals are off.”
Earlier in the season, Bal-
lard had said every player
but defenceman Borje Sal-
ming was on the trading
block for the right price.
NOTHING OF VALUE
“But nobody offered Gerry
anything of value for our
shooters, and he knows bet-

losing his hair over it.”
He said he even considered

buying players.

“I asked how much

and was told $18 million,”
Ballard said. “I don't have
that much, but I could get it.

“But what would happen if
he broke his leg the next
day?”

The team owner put the
blame for the Leafs’ dismal
showing directly on the play-
ers.

“There's: only about four
guys who have been earning
their money,” Ballard said.
“Greg Terrion, Dan Daoust,

“But a lot of the guys

“If they performed to win

to pay it.”

fans.

BONNER AND B.C. HYDRO

Dealings meeting topic

VICTORIA (CP) — A cabinet minister who is also a
director of British Columbia Hydro said Tuesday he is sure
the business dealings of Hydro chairman Robert Bonner will
be discussed at the next meeting of the board of the Crown
corporation.

Pat McGeer, minister of universities, science and com-
munications, said how much will be covered in the dis-
cussions will be up to board members to decide.

Bonner is being sued for more than $1.8 million by two
banks over loans they claim have not been repaid.

Bonner’s business interests outside Hydro include land
deals on V; Island and a ivision on the
Coast.

Bonner has declined to discuss his land dealings.

On Monday, New Democratic Party leader Bob Skelly
said heads of Crown corporations or senior civil servants
should be required to put their holdings in a blind trust to
avoid any appearance of conflict of interest.

Energy Minister Stephen Rogers, responsible in the
legislature and cabinet for Hydro, is on vacation in Hawaii,
and Finance Minister Hugh Curtis, also a Hydro director,
could not be reached for comment.

McGeer, the third cabinet member who is a director of

Skelly noted that MLAs are required to declare their

corporations.

The Bank of Montreal is seeking $645,356 in principal
and interest of personal loans made in 1980 and 1981. In
December, the Bank of B.C. filed suit over two loans to
Bonner, one for $1,067,597 and the other for $100,298 in U.S.

Aspirin tied to Reye's syndrome

WASHINGTON (AP) — A public health activist said
Tuesday that children's Aspirin should be seized from store
shelves or required to cary emergency warning stickers
because of a new study linking the pain reliever with the
often-fatal Reye's syndrome.

Dr. Sidney Wolfe, director of the Health Research
Group, said the unpublished study by the federal Centres for
Disease Control found children with chicken pox or flu have
a 25 times greater chance of contracting Reye's syndrome if
given Aspirin than sick children not given Aspirin.

Previous studies have shown a possible link between
Aspirin and Reye's, but Wolfe said the new ratio “is not only
much higher than seen in any previous study . . . but is one of
the largest risk ratios found in any recent epidemiological
study.”

He said with the risk shown in the new study, labels on
children’s Aspirin bottles promoting the drug's use for colds
and flu amount to “an invitation for parents to unwittingly
injure or kill their children.”

not develop Reye's syndrome but shared certain factors with
children who did.

The study found only one major difference betweet the
children who got Reye's and the four control groups that did
not, and that difference was whether they were treated with
Aspirin. The study found 96 per cent of the children who
contracted Reye's syndrome took Aspirin, while on average
only 45 per cent of the children in the control group received
Aspirin.

Officials from the Centres for Disease Control and the
FDA declined immediate comment on the study and on
Wolfe's letter.

SNOWY WORRIES . . . While recent snowfalls have
meant more weight on the roofs of Castlegar

THAT IS THE QUESTION

houses, chances are it doesn't need to be shovelled
off. — Costtews Photo by fon Merman

To shovel, or not to shovel?

By ADRIAN CHAMBERLAIN
Staff Writer

The Christmas turkey left-overs have been eaten,
the plum pudding is gone, and it's time to face the real
world again.

It’s time to face your problems and worries — like
whether or not to shovel that steadily increasing load of
snow on your roof.

The good news for those dreading a foray onto a
slippery roof with shovel in hand is that chances are you
don't need to do it.

In Castlegar, the désign criteria under the National
Building Code says that houses must be built to with-
stand 22 kilograms (56 Ibs.) per square foot.

George Braman, Castlegar’s building inspector, says
according to his calculations, snow weight in the city
hasn't exceeded 12.7 kikograms (28 lbs.) per square foot
in the last three years.

He says snow on roofs is “not an extreme hazard,”
and “if it’s designed properly and built properly, you
shouldn't be shovelling the roof.”

While most houses in the city would have been built
within building code specifications, Braman said “you
could have a problem with an old building built years and
years ago.”

He said, for example, that someone with a house

built 50 years ago might want to measure out the spans in
his attic, and check out span tables issued by the National
Research Council of Canada to see how much pressure
per square foot his roof can withstand. City hall has a
copy of these tables, which is available to residents,
Braman said.

For those who decide to peer ahead = shovel oe
roofs, a few pr
the roof is shovelled one side at a mpg “you're really
putting a lot of stress on the trusses you shouldn't be,”
which can damage them, Braman says.

And houses with shingled roofs can be damaged by
shovelling, because, since the shingles have absorbed
moisture and are frozen, the weight of a person stepping
on them causes them to crack.

The depth of snowfall isn't a reliable indicator of how
much pressure is being exerted on a roof, since dry snow
can be relatively light, Braman says. The heavy part of
the sfowfall is the bottom 15 centimetres (6 inches)
where moisture accummulates and freezes.

According to Braman, those large icicles which form
on some houses (due to condensation or heat loss) aren't
cause for real concern, although there is a small chance
that one could break off and hurt a passerby.

As far as added weight to the roof, icicles “don't
make that much difference really,” he says.

Wolfe's demands came in a letter to Dr. Frank Young,

Iready has issued public warnings that Aspirin has been
linked with Reye's syndrome, but those warnings do not go
as far as Wolfe's organization has demanded.

The Health Research Group filed suit against the FDA
in 1982 seeking to have warning labels put on all Aspirin
bottles. The Department of Health and Human Services,
FDA's parent agency, at first agreed, but then reversed
itself and said more study would be needed.

Reye's syndrome is a fast-developing sickness that
occurs in children and teenagers following a viral infection

such as flu or chicken pox

It is characterized by a sudden onset of vomiting, often

with fever.

Other symptoms

inelude lethargy, severe

headaches and sudden changes in behavior. The illness can
progress rapidly to convulsions, delerium and coma and it’s
fatal in 20 to 30 per cent of all cases.

The study traced 29 cases of Reye's syndrome and
compared them with 143 “control” cases — children who did

Nuclear winter not too cold

LOS ANGELES (AP) —
Long periods of sub-freezing
weather are unlikely in a
“nuclear winter,” but smoke
from a nuclear war still might
block enough sunlight to drop
summer temperatures to
near freezing and destroy
crops, researchers said Tues
day.

“The intensity of the cool
ing is not as great as origin
ally proposed,” said Alan
Hecht of the National Ocean
ographic and Atmospheric
Administration, symmarizing
the findings by researchers
at California's Lawrence Liv
ermore National Laboratory
and Colorado's National Cen

tre for Atmospheric Re
search
The new studies were

based on some of the most

sophisticated computer sim-
ulations yet developed to es-
timate what might happen if
a nuclear war sets cities,
industrial centres and forests
afire, blocking sunlight and
plunging the Earth into a
dark, cold “nuclear winter”
for survivors.

The original nuclear winter
theory was proposed about
two years ago by atmospher.
ie physicist Richard Tureo;
astronomer Carl Sagan and
their colleagues. It predicted
postwar smoke and dust
could reduce average annual
Northern ‘Hemisphere tem
peratures to well below free-

zing — about -2 to -28
Celsius — for months or
longer.

The new studies, present-
ed at the American Mete-

orological Society's annual
meeting, don't eliminate the
possibility of an extended
period of subfreezing wea
ther, but simply show the
concept of a nuclear winter
encompasses a range of pos
sibilities.

That range extends from a
prolonged deep freeze over
much of the Northern Hem
isphere, where a U.S.-Soviet
nuclear war presumably
would be fought, to shorter
periods of near-freezing tem
peratures over much smaller
areas.

The scientists at Lawrence
Livermore used normal win
ter and summer tempera
tures as the starting point,
rather than Turco’s annual
average: They also consid
ered the moderating effect of

oceans on temperatures over
coastal land areas.

Asa result, the research
ers found that a nuclear war
during summer could reduce
temperatures down to near
freezing in the central por.
tions of continents for un-
known but shorter periods of
time than envisaged in ear.
lier studies, said atmospheric
physicist Michael MacCrack
en. They also found temper.
atures probably would not
change very much in coastal
areas.

But MacCracken said even
brief periods of near-freezing
temperatures would destroy
many food crops, and “food is
the basic issue” for people
who survive the initial blasts
and radiation from a nuclear
war.

Student was
left penniless

VANCOUVER (CP) &- Jan
MacLeod, 19, says she is the
vietim of bureaucratic bun-
gling that has left her vir-
tually penniless.

“T've got $1.67 in my bank
account — that's it,” she said
Tuesday

MacLeod's tale of woe be
gan when she moved here
from Chelsea, Que., to train
at Vancouver Community
College for a job that starts
in September to help deaf
children ‘in the Northwest
Territories. She was told be
fore she left that she would
be eligible for a student loan
from the Quebee govern
ment

But when she arrived here,
she found Quebec authorities
had incorrectly classified her
as a dependent, thus making
her ineligible for the loan.

“I'm not a defendent — I've
been financially independent
from my parents for two
years,” said MacLeod.

Now, despite many letters
to Quebec, she can’t get the
authorities to fix the error.

And the B.C. government
won't help either.

“I applied to the B.C. gov
ernment for a loan but they
told me I wasn't a resident —

T haven't lived here for a year

yet.”

es to help, she'll have to quit

school.

“We're not an educational
assistance institution,” min
istry spokesman Joan Abr.
ams said.

MacLeod, who receives
about $225 a month under a
scholarship from the North
west Territories’ govern
ment, said she riéeds about
$3,000 or $4,000 to pay off
other debts and get her
through the summer.

She can no longer afford
rent and is now staying with
friends.

When the $225-a-month
NWT scholarship cheque ar
rives for January, she'll use a
lot of it to pay back-rent on
the place she had to give up.

“For the past five months,
I've been living off my sa
vings that I had before
moving to Vancouver and
those funds are now exhaus
ted. I've been trying since I
moved here to get loans and
assistance and been unable
to. Now I need money right
away and no source in the
government will assist me.”

even if it takes a little longer
to do it. But if we do it, and it

The special agreement was
designed to assist union con
tractors in regaining housing
