ig to Public Rela-

Women’s Institute has been a
positive force in rural commo-
nities since the turn of the cen-
tury, quietly working at getting
things done, without fuss or
fanfare. W.L was an accepted
part of the social fabric, women
generally joined when they
moved into a community, and
the organization did not need to
promote itself. However with
the rapid changes in society,
especially the rural areas, and
the demands on time and ener-
gy, the membership now real-
izes it must take the initiative to
blow its own horn and loudly.

“Fear No Evil” is as muscular
as this groups has ever sound-
ed, but if they insist on trite,
calculated anthems like “Get

Key: “Searchin'". Given
their médiocrity to date, a better
album title would've been “Do
You Want Fries With That?”

DYSFUNCTIONAL
Dokken

I never, ever dug these guys
before. “Dysfunctional” fits the
band as a
disc title and
I'm surprised
to be liking
this.

Dokken

Now, a lack of solo success has
them back together to fight the

include Don's unexceptional
vocals and cliched lyrics, but
George Lynch’s primitive guitar
work saves the day.

Keys: “Inside Looking Out”,
“Too High To Fly”. Critical
reaction to “Dysfunctional”
has been brutal. I'm filing this
one under “guilty pleasures”

For ONCE, music from a

soundtrack, this has racked up
impressive numbers at the till.

“Batman Forever” mixes
previously released stuff with
new songs by an interesting
array of artists

Names you'll recognize
include U2, PJ Harvey, Seal
and The Offspring. The music
runs the gamut from main-
stream pop to jagged alterna-
tive and on to leather and
whips rock & roll. Including
movie dialogue would've been
a nice touch, but this stands on
its Own quite nicely.

Keys: “Kiss From A Rose’

soundtrack, but sure to one of

Take act

This is a new principle to me!

Had I learned it years ago |
believe it would have changed the

course of my life

We can't go
back and change
the past but we
are responsible
for the knowl-
edge we have
today. I didn’t
know I had a
choice, I thought
I had to re-act.

Now I know I
have a choice.

This is not easily learned but it
is vital to a “healthy, happy life”.
Otherwise we arejcontrolled by
everyone else, We are like pup-
pets on a string and jerked
around by those who are holding
the strings.

I heard a statement the other
day that made a lot of sense. We
are all victimized but we do not
all decide to be victims. It's a

choice, it's a reaction to abuse etc.

Another interesting thing about
victims is that they are going to
make everybody else pay.

They have
no problem,
with cheating”
the govern-
ment, with
cutting to the
front of the
line, with
abusing the
system,
because
everybody
owes them. They are easily iden-
tified! Watch for them.

How do we stop this deadly
thing of re- acting? First are we
aware of WHO pushes our but-
tons. Who has the power to hurt
us or drive us crazy?

We go into battle armed with
knowledge. The book “The Dance
Of Anger”, by Harriet Goldner
Lerner is a great resource on this

to be aware that when we change
our way of reacting our mate,

to bring us back into the old pat-

But we can change, we,can
choose responsible actions
instead of being jerked around by

worth it? Yes. It puts the power of

The second thing to do in

hurt is to write a letter. I have
learned to hold the letter for a day
or two then to either re-write it or
burn it

Then I can take action that isn’t
controlled by emotions which are
out of control. It's ok to say “give
me a while to think about this and
I will get back to you”. The key is
to get back to them, not to let it

This is a life saving principle,

unregistered dealers to move the
cars off their lots.

Smallwood also challenged
registered dealers to raise public

about the safe

consumers have when they buy
from registered dealers rather
than curbers.

Registered dealers contribute
to a compensation fund that offers
recourse to consumers in cases
where a car-buyer suffers finan-
cial loss from the business failure
for dishonest conduct of a dealer
jwho has gone out of business.

“Registered motor dealers are
required to meet standards that
promote fairness in the market-
place and the consumer opera-
tions branch will work with the
industry to tackle the problem of
dealers who try to operate outside
the law,” Smallwood said.

The minister said additional
staff will be assigned to strength-
en enforcement of licensing
requirements. Investigators will
be issuing more tickets rather
than warnings to offenders.

Smallwood welcomed an
announcement from Transporta-
tion and Highways Minister Jack-
ie Pement that most imported
vehicles must pass a mechanical
safety inspection in order to be
registered or licensed in British
Columbia effective Sep 1

consumers the information they
need, and help keep unsafe vehi-
cles off the road,” Pement said.

Smallwood will also request a
review of the fine for individuals
or companies who are ticketed
for operating an unregistered
motor dealers. In 1993, the chief
judge of the B.C. provincial court
set a fine of $250 for curbers who
are ticketed.

“An increase in the amount for
ticketed offenders would help
deter sidewalk car sales,” Small-
wood said.

The ministry will continue to
seek substantial fines and restitu-
tion orders through the courts in
cases of multiple offences.

In July, Kenneth Townsend and
Twin City Investments Lid. were
fined $25,000 after pleading gui
in Vancouver provincial court to
10 counts of deceptive business
practices for rolling back odome-
ters and three counts of operating
as an unregistered dealer.

Anyone who is in the business
of selling cars in B.C. is required
to be registered as a motor deal-
er. Individuals who sell vehicles
