completing this year's landscape
project. on Zuckerberg Island
Heritage Park

of the Kootenay-Columbia river
system has accelerated’ plant
growth; particularly lodgepole
pine, along the river side of the
park. This in turn has obscured
some attractive views along that
side of the park

plete the fall project on Zuckerberg Island

Two weeks ago the four-man
team from the Castlegar and
District Development Board in
cooperation with volunteers nat
uralist. Doris Sweeney,
Castlegar Heritage Society Pre:
sident John Charters, and
Wayne Gaborski put in over a
week's work upgrading paths,
fence building and clearing the
area

However, they were not able
to complete the project in the
time available. The slash left on
the ground presented a future

fire hazard and an impediment
to new and desired growth. The
Rotarians moved in and it. is
gone. The view once again is
discreet and attractive for the
fall season visitor.

In the meantime, the Friends
of the Island volunteers are
keeping the chapel housé open
for most afternoons each week.

In this one project, the city
received more than 204 hours of
work, together with $270 worth
of materials. Four truckloads of
crushed gravel were also sup:
plied by the city.

Campaign
promises

big spendin

By GORD McINTOSH
Canadian Press

Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
turned his attention to NDP Leader
Ed Broadbent and free trade op
ponents Tuesday — and then did
some damage control on the con
stitution.

Meanwhile, Broadbent, campaign.
ing in British Columbia, promised to
pump an extra $200 million a year
into western economic development,
bringing his promises so far in the
Nov. 21 election campaign to more
than $2--billion.

Liberal Leader John Turner at
tended the funeral of former Ham.
ilton, Ont., mayor Vie Copps and
later visited a greenhouse in St.
Albert, Alta., where he promised
$211-million to make small business
grow:

With the Conservatives far ahead
in the opinion polls and the NDP is
threatening to edge the Liberals as
the off opposition, Mulroney
started the third week of the election
campaign with a flight of partisan
oratory.

At an evening rally north of
Toronto, he ridiculed Broadbent for
opposing free trade in general but
supporting it in the U.S.-Canada auto
pact; opposing foreign investment
but favoring it for General Motors in
his Oshawa, Ont., riding; opposing
membership in NATO one day and
favoring it the next

FEAR FUTURE

In an earlier speech, Mulroney
branded opponents of free trade a
fearful bunch with no confidence in
Canada. “I think they fear change.

Greens
to stop

TORONTO (CP) The Green
party is seeking a court injunction to
stop next week’s televised debates of
the three main party leaders unless
the head of the environmentalist
party is included

The suit, to be filed in the Supreme
Court of Ontario, will also seek
considerable financial compensation
over the party being excluded from
the debates in the first place, a
spokesman for the party said Tues

The Green party will ask that if the
court will not stop the debates
scheduled for next Monday and
Tuesday, that they at least order the
broadcasters to provide free time to
the Greens and other smaller parties.

However, a CTV vice-president
said the leaders’ debates should not
be looked upon as free time but as a
news event. CTV is providing the
site for the debate |not broadcast by
six networks.

‘The tone changed when Mulroney
faced questions from reporters about
an apparent contradiction with Sec-
retary of State Lucien Bouchard over
a key constitutional question.

At issue is the so-called notwith-
standing clause that allows govern
ments to pass laws that override the
Charter of Rights. Both Mulroney
and Turner believe the clause is
flawed, while Bouchard says it is
essential to ensure the survival of
Quebec.

Mulroney insisted there is no
contradiction” between his position
and Bouchard's. He also said getting
rid of the clause is not a priority.

The prime minister also issued
another denial that a planned federal
sales tax will allow Ottawa to reap
billions in new revenue at the
expense of consumers.

Maavara said CTV will be provid

Green party Leader Seymour
Trieger said that at stake are “the
democratic rights of Canadians to
hear all sides of an issue and not just
the conventional wisdom from the
three standard parties.”

However, Trieger said he would
prefer to get “our own chunk of free
time” rather than be included in the
leaders’ debates because “debates
are kind of a stilted format.”

The Greens, modelled on an
environmentalist movement in
Europe, are one of 15 so-called fringe
parties seeking registration as a
national party in the current election
campaign.

Nursing

ranked

same as embalming

SASKATOON (CP) — A recent
survey of 122 prestige professions for
women ranked nurses 91st, only
slightly ahead of embalmers, ac
cording to a University of Michigan
researcher.

“Health care is one of the fastest-
growing industries, yet the image of
nurses and nursing is not good,” says
Philip Kalisch, a nursing professor at
the university.

“Stereotypes are spread by the
media and, when repeated often
enough, become authentic,” Kalisch,
who teaches classes on the history,
politics and economics of nursing,

“told an international nursing con.

ference this week in Saskatoon.

“Nurses must get rid of these
negative stereotypes and create a
new positive image.”

Kalisch said a recent article in the
magazine Working Woman listed
nursing as one of the 10 worst occu-
pations for women.

He said that from 1854 to 1919,
nurses were portrayed as noble,
religious, virginal angels of mercy.

In the 1920s, their image slipped
when they appeared as Girl Fridays
and flappers. Nursing was regarded
at the time as Victorian and old-
fashioned.

“The image of nurses reached its
highest point between 1930 and 1945,
when they were seen as heroines.
They were brave, rational, decisive
and portrayed in glamorous setting.

TRAINED IN ART

“From 1946 to 1965, nursing was
considered an excellent preparation
for marriage and motherhood. Nur.
ses were trained in the art of giving
and serving willingly.”

He said that since 1966, nurses
have been portrayed as sex objects.

“Look at the Harlequin romance-
type books. Nurses are favorite
characters, as non-threatening fe-
males. There's the dude ranch nurse,
the night-club nurse, the highway
nurse. Then check out the adult
videos. They dispel any- idea nurses
might have skill or knowledge.”

Meanwhile, demand for nurses is
outpacing supply, said Alice Baum-
gart, vice-president of human re-
sources at Queen's University in
Kingston, Ont.

“There's a shortage of nurses, yet
demand continues to escalate,” said
Baumgart, a former dean of the
university's school of nursing. “The
number of nurses needed in hospital
care and home care has gone steadily
upward during the '80s.”

Microwaving can
be nutritional

TORONTO (CP) — Microwave
ovens have more advantages than
simply being fast. They can also help
you cook nutritionally, says Mar-
garet Fraser, editor of the Canadian
Living Microwave Cookbook.

“Microwaving is a healthy way to
cook because the time is shorter so
nutrients aren't lost in vegetables,”
she said. “And you use less butter
and other fat because what you do

include doesn’t evaporate.”
d

Statistics show that two out of
three Canadian households own a
microwave oven.

iT FOOD

“But many of those owners simply
use the microwave to defrost frozen
food or heat up a beverage or dish,”
said Fraser. “We wanted to show
people that they could actually make
some of their oldtime favorites like
macaroni and cheese and meatloaf in
half the time and with as much ease

In addition, it’s always
that salt not to put on food before or
during microwave cooking because it
makes the food tough, she said, “so
you may not use as much as in
conventional preparation.”

The cookbook, released this fall, is
published by Random House and is
priced at $24.95.

SEE DEMAND

Fraser works for Canadian Living
magazine and was a contributor to
this new book's companion, the Can-
adian Living Cookbook released last
year.

‘The magazine was eager to take on
the microwave project because it was
clear readers wanted more informa-
tion on microwave cooking.

“Since we started running Mero-
wave Menu, a regular feature im the
magazine, we've been getting s0
many letters asking for more recipes
and tips,” she said. “Obviously
there's a need for quality microwave
recipes.”

as cooking A

“It has become a marvellous time-
saving kitchen tool, as essential as a
food processor or mixer.”

Fraser was helped by the mag-
azine’s food writers with recipe
testing and development and she has
tried to include such old favorites as
tuna casserole and shepherd's pie as
well as tandoori cornish hens and
Mediterranean fish stew.

The book includes some helpful
tips.
