School grad pranks not
on agenda this year

VERNON, B.C. (CP) —
Forget the pink flamingo
caper.

There won't be any more
vandalism in the name of
graduation if Andrew Hall
and his fellow Class of '88.
members have their way.

“Over the last few years,
things have escalated,” Hall
said of the $7,000 bill the
270-member Grade 12 class
at Vernon senior secondary
faced when it started school
last fall.

“We said as a class, ‘let's
just stop this.’

“We all came to the agree.
ment that people caught
doing pranks this year would
have their names turned in to
the RCMP, then their names
would be taken off the
graduation programs, they
would not be invited to grad
uation ceremonies, and they
would not be recognized
during the ceremonies.

“They would get their
diploma in the mail in Aug.
ust.”

Hall, 17, the chairman. of
Vernon secondary's student
government, said the three
other local high schools —
each with a graduating class
of about 130 — have agreed
to report pranksters to the

RCMP, but will allow them to
participate in graduation,

The pink flamingo caper,
carried out by the W.L,
Seaton graduating class last
year, actually began in Aug-
ust 1986 when ornamental
pink flamingos began dis-
appearing from lawns in this
Okanagan Valley city.

BIRDS ON FIELD

The disappearances con-
tinued through the year until
one morning last June when
about 500 suddenly appeared
on Seaton’s playing field.

The 19-year-old Vernon
secondary “has a lot of tradi
tions,” Hall said. “Prank
Night is one of them.”

That's when an odd assort
ment of objects appear om
Vernon secondary’s front
lawn.

Last spring, this included a
number of horses and cows
and a $3,500 camper trailer.
Not content to park the
trailer on the lawn, prank
sters had trashed it.

One Prank Night, real
estate signs were stolen from
all over the city. Realtors
were so impressed with that
action they promptly with
drew $25,000 worth of schol
arships.

Hall, a member of the stu.

dent committee which had to
talk to the 50 to 65 people
demanding restitution for
last year’s pranks, said the
$7,000 was paid from student
government funds and
money raised through
dances.

“This year, we took a new
attitude toward fund
raising,” he said. “We just
hold dances.

“We can make about $2,000
a dance. There are just over
1,000 people at the school,
and almost everybody turns
out.”

Hall also said the class has
planned monthly events
through the year to try to
draw class members closer
together.

These included a car rally.
scavenger hunt, roller skat
ing and Christmas carolling.

Dioxin tests urged
by protest groups

MONTREAL (CP) —
the envir group
challenged members of the Canadian
Paperworkers Union to bring pressure
on their employers to stop polluting
waterways with deadly dioxins.

“Greenpeace believes this is a
clear-cut case where workers and
vironmentalists can work together,
Joyce McLean said in a speech to 300
delegates at a union convention.

The mill workers, in fact, are in a
privileged position compared with en-
vironmental groups, she said.

“You guys are the ones working in
those mills, you know what is going on
in there, you have a responsibility to
society,” McLean declared.

“We environmentalists can only
survey the effects outside.”

McLean said dioxin is 10,000 times
more toxic than cyanide. Presence of
dioxin as a result of pulp and paper

G effluent.
URGES UNION ACTION

McLean said in an interview that
union members can play a big role in
environment protection. “The Ontario
environment minister totd me ‘You get
the unions onside and then we can take
action.’ They're looking for numbers.”

Last fall, studies by the U.S. En-
1 Protection Agency re-
vealed trace elements of dioxins in
paper products such as diapers, sani-
tary napkins and towels. |

McLean said the dioxins could be
ingested by using paper coffee filters
or paper plates in microwave ovens.

The Pulp and Paper Association
announced in December that the Pulp
and Paper Research Institute of Can-
ada has begun high-priority research to
determine how dioxin is formed, and to
find alternate bleaching systems.

bleaching became known only very
recently, and the industry still disputes
its danger.

Louis Fortier, spokesman for the
Canadian Pulp and Paper Association,
said in an interview that dioxin is “an
unwanted byproduct, which came as a
surprise to us like everyone else.”
everyone else.”

byproducts

McLean says a process exists to
replace chlorine bleaching that would
resolve the problem. But Fortier said it
is “absolutely false” that a different
bleaching process can completely elim-
inate dioxins.

“In fact, in some mills using the
traditional chemical bleaching process,
no traces of dioxin were found,” Fortier
said.

McLean said the Ontario Ministry
of the Environment has found dioxin
and up to 1,000 other dangerous

Vernon -y princip-
pal Jim Norris says “people
who would want to engage in
destructive pranks now are
ina minority and will become
increasingly isolated.

“I think the student gov.
ernment has effectively pro-
moted its goals,” he said. “I
know it’s going to be success.

“If my honorable friend thinks he is maligned, how
does he think I feel?”

. Speaker John Fraser, who always has the last word,
said “I will give this point of privilege exactly the
consideration it deserves.”

PRIME MINISTER Brian Mulroney has friends from
coast to coast. He may, however, have one fewer after his
visit to Baie-Comeau, his home town.

Giving a speech in the Le Manoir restaurant, the
prime minister referred to his good friend the mayor of
Baie-Comeau, Girard Guy, who was sitting beside him.

No sooner were the words out of his mouth than the
mayor's wife cringed and the mayor stared straight
ahead.

The problem? Mulroney's “good friend” and mayor of
Baie-Comeau is Roger Theriault.

ONE OF THE MOST frequent allegations against
Ottawa is that the city rolls up its sidewalks and goes to
bed early. You want nightlife in Ottawa? Take a short cab
ride to Hull in Quebec and you've got it.

Things may be getting worse. City council has
decided that rock concerts at Lansdowne Park must be
over by 10:30 p.m., a move that promoters say will keep
major rock stars away from Ottawa.

Most big names, especially those with extensive and
expensive light shows, usually begin their outdoor
performances after 9 p.m. when it's dark.

But council, in a close vote, decided on the 10:30 p.m.
curfew because people living close to Lansdowne Park
has complained about noise in the past.

Mayor Jim Durrell says he'll ask council to
reconsider the “retrograde step,” which he considers
drastic.

Commons debate
questions matter
of privilege

By GORDON GRANT
Canadian Press

OTTAWA — A question of privilege raised in the
Commons is usually a serious affair.

It often means a member feels hard done by and that
his ability to serve his constituents and his country has
somehow been breached.

So when a member stands up to raise a question of
privilege the House is usually hushed in deference to the
moment.

Such was the scene when Liberal Brian Tobin stood
in his place and raised his question of privilege.

“Mr. Speaker,” intoned the honorable member from
the Newfoundland riding of Humber-Port au Port- St.
Barbe, “I want to bring to your attention a very serious
and urgent matter that I regard as going right to the
fundamental privileges of any member of Parliament.”

The tension was almost unbearable. What wrong had
been perpetrated?

Capital Notebook

“IN-HOME” Flooring

Ald. Darrel Kent said residents who have
complained are selfish because Lansdowne Park existed
before they moved into the neighborhood.

The park is in the middle of a residential district on
the Rideau Canal, south of Parliament Hill.

THERE ARE certain words one can't use in the
Commons because they are considered unparliamentary.

“Liar” is a good example.

There is a long list and they generally are words not
used by civilized members of the Commons.

A new word has been added to the list, but it has
been banished by Speaker John Fraser, not because it is
unparliamentary but because it’s ah Americanism.

Tory Jim Hawkes rose to correct. something he had
said in the House earlier. He said, in part, “Unfortu-
nately, I misspoke myself.”

Well, the ‘Toronto Star had carried a photograph of
the darkly handsome, moustachioed Tobin and identified
him as, horror of horrs, Doug Lewis, a Tory cabinet
minister from the Ontario riding of Simcoe North.

“I suggest this is a conspiracy . . . designed to alter
my reputation as a calm and dispassionate politician and,
of course, to apply the attributes of calmness and lack of
emotion I possess to the member for Simcoe North, who
is known as an angry and brooding politician.”

He then implored the Speaker to give “this very
serious question of privilege all the attention it de-
serves.”

Now it was Lewis's turn.

The tall, urbane, unmoustachioed minister of state

i went on the offensive.

SANTE FE, N.M. (AP)
— Grocery store managers,
construction foremen, mine
inspectors and other low- and
middle-level managers have a
greater risk of heart attack
than blue-collar workers or
other white-collar workers, a
study indicates.

Previous studies have sug-
gested that blue-collar work-
ers are more likely to die of
heart attacks than white-col-
lar workers. But Robert
Brackbill, the author of the
new study, said that the
managers with increased risk

more like blue-collar workers
than white-collar workers.

“They had the lowest mean
level of education compared
to other _ professional
groups,” said Brackbill, of the
National Institute for Occu-
pational Safety and Health in
Cincinnati.

Brackbill said the group's
socio-economic’ status and
wages are also closer to those
of blue-collar workers and,
like them, the middle and
low-level managers might not
have good access to medical
