Hartley now is a quadriplegic.

Each year an estimated 2,000 Canadians become paralysed from a spinal cord injury; the majority of those accidents happen in summer.

When the weather is warm more people dive and rough-house in unknown waters. More people drink and drive or go for a spin on a motorcycle without a helmet. More people climb a ladder to paint the house or fix the eaves.

“In the first week of July we had 10 spina! cord injuries in six days,” said Dr. Peter Wing, orthopedic surgeon at the Shaughnessy Hospital spinal cord unit.

“It is very timely to warn people about spinal injury now — so often it happens to active people in the prime of their life.”

After breaking his neck, Hartley spent a week in Shaughnessy's intensive care, then moved to the spinal cord unit. He was in tong traction fer five weeks — two pins were drilled into his skull, joindl by a tong-like bar,

“The tragedy is that so often the injury was one that could have been prevented — wearing a seatbelt, securing a ladder, checking out the waters before you dive in,” Wing said.

Alegbol, top, often plays a large’part in a spinal cord injury, Wing said.

“It hs a double-barreled effect. Not enly is it a signi fieant factor in the cause of about one-third of all spinal cord injuries, but the damage to the spinal is much worse is aleohol is: present in the blood.”

Designer plans for future

TORONTO (CP) — Interior decorator Shanna Fromson. — like science fiction writers, engineers and astronauts before her — is planning for the day when living in outer space turns into reality.

But when she discusses her ideas, she winces at the notion that someone might think she’s talking about hanging curtains in spaceships.

Fromson says, explaining that the term takes into account many different in any given —— so the i are andeven spiritually. *

She says it is poagible that light, color and texture could become extremély nt to people in space stations who are denied the p feeling of grayity, alternations of night “and day and the opportunity to step outside for a breath of fresh air.

“There are all kinds of theories about color, but none have been proven,” she says. “It might be possible to manipulate light so that colors change (to simulate natural daylight). It’s all speculation at this point.”

Fromson, who was born in Calgary and trained at the University of Manitoba before moving to Toronto 23 years ago, is hoping to test her theories at the Environmental Centre at the University of Houston.

Andy says he doesn’t know what it all means.

Over the years, Andy bought small: parcels of land for himself in the Cariboo. Royal Trust gave him regular monthly payments which grew over the years to $1,200. Last month, they were bumped up to $1,700.

Mayor Murray Westby, who manages a tractor deal- ership, is one of an eight- member committee from Watrous and Manitou Beach who want to build the year- round facility. It would in-

clude a small motel or hotel, mineral and fresh water pools and a spa.

Mayor Jerry Bartel of Manitou Beach firmly be- lieves in the healing powers of the lake. So does Melvina Stadnyk, 63, of Saskatoon, who has made regular pil- grimages since the 1930s, when she went with Ker par. ents.
