Bermuda reverses

boycott de

By GEOFF FRASER EDINBURGH (CP) — The Bermuda team was shocked Saturday as it tried to accept the decision by the Bermuda Olympic Association to pull the eight athletes out of the

“I think that's an excellent word,” said Bermuda swim coach Garreth Davies when asked if the team felt be- trayed.

“They sent us, they an- nounced to the media in Ber- muda in no way would they pull us,” said Davies. “The minister said that, the Olym- pic Association said that.

“We come here. They con- tact us on the phone. They send someone to find out what the athletes thought. The athletes, without ex- ception, wished to partici- pate. Now they just reversed their decision again.”

The team, representing Britain's oldest colony, be- came the 32nd entry to boy cott the Games, leaving 26 Commonwealth countries and British territories and colonies and a total of 1,967 athletes and officials.

Commonwealth countries

are boycotting the Games to protest British Prime Mini- ster Margaret Thatcher's re- fusal to apply sanctions against South Africa over that country’s policy of apart heid.

MARCHED IN PARADE

On Thursday, Bermuda had been ordered out of the Games by its Olympic assoc- iation. But the athletes talked with Premier John Swan and obtained a last minute reversal just in time to march in the parade of athletes.

But on Saturday morning, the Bermuda association again ordered the team out of the Games. The athletes had been scheduled to compete in Saturday's track events. Swimmer Victor Ruberry had already been in an event Friday.

Bermuda team manager John Morbey said a full meeting Friday of the Ber muda association had con firmed the order to withdraw the team and he had “no alternative but to withdraw.”

Davies said the word of the association's latest ruling stunned the athletes. “Every body sat and just said ab- solutely nothing.

“We're the only country in

cision

which the government sup- posedly supports our partici. pation and the sporting body does not.”

Bermuda athletes and team officials were slow to voice their anger.

“Look at these athletes,” said team official Disa Pot- gieter-Manders. “They've been played like puppets, up and>down, up and down, you're going, you're not going.”

LETTER FROM

———

MUNDAY

Last week at service I likened our friend John Munday to the Apostle Paul — sick, skinny, celebate and seared — emphasizing the fact that it is not what we have that matters but what we do with what we have — with commitment, humor and courage.

In a world in which the masses, the mobs and the bureaurocacy seems to be the deciding voice and general standard of conduct, a distortion of democracy used by dictatorships, I remain utterly committed to the ultimate value of the individual person, man or woman, if we are to have any livable future.

There are times when I am convinced that Aldous Huxley and his Brave New World and George Orwell and the gray, impersonal dictatorship of 1984 might be right and that freedom was dying “not with a shout but a whimper”,

An excess of “digging in the soul” over these negatives can produce a very dark spectrum of human behaviour and expectations, particularly if one spends too much time taking the media too seriously.

Too little time is spent, I think, in contemplation of the work of the Pauls, the John Twenty-thirds, the Albert Einsteins, the Ghandis, the Mother Teresas, the John and those ds of dedicated and often quiet human beings who with incredible effort and a sense of humour keep things in balance and create a spectrum of light in our threatening world. To you all, “Salute!” And now back to the second half of John Munday’s letter.

July 1, Canada Day. 6:19 p.m., Quito time. I've just finished talking to you both. How absolutely wonderful to hear you. Thank you for the surprise phone call. It's a

miracle you got through because my phone functions on

He'd have climbed through the phone had it been possible. My heart went out to him, but could do little more than encourage him to fly home for the Christmas vacation. I am beginning to appreciate the agony many parents must suffer when sending their children off to

for the first time.

But Victor wasn't the only family member sent off that week. Fernando (19), Hector (18) and Silvana (13) now living with an older sister, were found guilty of breaking ground rules. They'd been with me for a total of twenty years, (two, 10 and eight), and I felt like one abandoning his own children. But each has family and each had been forgiven 70 times seven plus seven times before. These are heart-shattering traumas which, added to my chronic housewife's syndrome, mid-life crisis and burn-out, have not lent to a speedy recovery from ephysema and stroke.

But there is light at the end of the tunnel, and like Job, I still trust that when he has tried me I shall come forth as gold.

Our original guest diningroom will become an extension to the chapel and should double our present seating capacity to 200 or more. Sunday School almost fills the present chapel, the Sunday afternoon preaching and worship service fills it to overflowing, and the Wednesday night prayer and Bible study averaging between 60 and 70 will soon need the anticipated space, available, we hope before September.

Last week I was asked to visit the home of a couple whose small business — they are owners of a neighbourhood grocery store — was floundering as a possible result of witchcraft crudely handled by some malevolent stranger. Small piles of dirt from the town cemetery, a yellow candle, a rope of human hair and sundry curse-casting objects caused the owners concern. Strange noises throughout the rooms at night left them even more nervous. They had some superficial knowledge of the Bible and through a Christian neighbor friend had

left of the days of yore.

Earlier this week I received a phone call from the Canadian Embassy advising me that the Ambassador had decided against holding the usual July ceremony at his residence in honor of Canada’s Birthday.

He would be advising all Friends of Canada through

The previous time notes were sent to other embassies and businesses asking them to convert the traditional floral offerings to hard cash to be sent to us.

It seems we are the constant recipients of non-stop bounty. From the British Ambassador's wife came the biggest basket of assorted cut flowers I've ever seen in honor of the Queen's birthday, and last week a truck pulled in to deliver 20 brand new mattresses. A member of the Commonwealth Club noticed we had a need in this area and that was it! We're being replenished with new sheets and pillowcases from the Nordic Women, and on July 13, a group of thirty North American young people from Teen Missions, will be arriving to build us, at their expense, a complex of chicken houses.

We should soon be provided with our own meat and eggs. The team will be working for six weeks when they'll be joined by two similar teams from Peru for a final week of “debriefing” prior to flying home.

Before I left, Nelson and his wife opened their hearts and their home to him who had waited so many years for their invitation to enter. They are now making Diospaj Nan their church home.

Dave and Sharon Okum and their four small children are in the final stages of obtaining their visas and should soon be on their way. Their apartment is almost ready, and will serve as a shelter at least until better arrangements can be made.

Marsha, an outstanding Christian girl and blind from birth, and subsequently rejected by her family, is quietly settling in to the routine of life here and proving to be a genuine help to polio-victim Rosa as well as to the blind boys that now number 14.

ALCOHOL, SUICIDE

Indian lives shortened

‘The 1978 suicide rates were more than four times the Canadian average. The rate was 3.8 times the national average among men and 5.5 times among women.

By ADAM CORELLI

TORONTO (CP) — Indian lives are shortened by alcohol and suicide at rates up to four times the Canadian average but the toll has declined because of federal programs, government studies claim.

While alcohol erodes the lifespan of many Indian adults, native youngsters are at least six times more likely to commit suicide than other Canadian children, the studies say.

However, the figures show a considerable improvement from the late 1970s and community programs are the reason, says the author of the studies, Nevil Layne, a researcher at Health and Welfare Canada.

‘Two studies on Indian mortality — one examining the

related to alcohol, and the other examining were obtained under the Access to Information Act.

The findings surface at a time when the programs credited with the imp may be d by government cuts.

‘The studies compare figures on “potential years of life lost” because of alcohol and suicide for the years 1978 and 1983.

For example, using 75 as..the..approximate natural lifespan of the average Canadian, a boy who commits suicide at 15 represents 60 years of lost life.

TOTAL DECLINED

Registered Indians lost a startling total more than 40,000 years of life due to alcohol and suicide in 1978. That declined to about 27,000 years by 1963. There are about 360,000 status and 72,000 non-treaty Indians in Canada.

Layne said in an interview the downward trend may

Tree planters in British Col umbia say cost-cutting by contractors has led to un- sanitary camp conditions that are creating serious health problems.

Both planters and health officials say there has been a sharp increase in reported intestinal disorders ranging from salmonella to giardiasis, or “beaver fever.”

Actual numbers are diffi cult to produce because of the nomadic nature of tree plan- ters, but health officials in- volved feel there are many more cases than have actu ally come to their attention.

“Our motto now is plant while you puke,” sai Betts, an East Kootenay tree planting contractor who had 42 of his 50 workers stricken

on all contractors.

Provincial health officials have no argument with that.

“I thought I was back in the last century,” said Dave Coombes, public health in spector with the East Koote- nay health unit in Cranbrook. Coombes has inspected two tree planting operations in his area.

Terry Moran, a Health ministry public affairs spokesman, said compalints have come in from all over the province, but the hard- est-hit areas are in the East Kootenay health unit, which covers most of southeastern B.C., and in the Northern Interior health unit, centre in Prince George.

Most men would remarry

CHICAGO (AP) — A news- paper survey asked married men, “If you had it to do again, would you marry your current wife?” and found overwhelmingly the answer was yes.

The Chicago Sun-Times found 77.1 per cent of first time married men would re- marry their spouses, com- pared with findings in a re- cent women’s magazine poll that said only 50 per cent of the women surveyed would make another trip down the aisle with the same man.

The only other question asked in the newspaper poll was: “Why (would you marry her again) or why not?”

2,301 men who re- sponded to the printed quer ies, an overwhelming ma jority — 1,788 — said they would remarry their wives, the newspaper said.

Their reasons ranged from the gushing — “the most understanding, trusting, loving. supportive woman T've ever met” — to the terse “Why not?” — to the prag- matic “Without her, I'd be a bum.”

The newpaper said it re- ceived hundreds of letters echoing the sentiment of the man who said: “She is my better half.”

“She is my partner, my mistress, my best friend.”

“She lights up my life.”

It said about five per cent of the letters were in the “Why not?” vein — men who said they'd marry their wives again “because no one else would put up with me” or because “Who else would do

my laundry?”

The men’s reponses were much more affirmative than those of women polled by Woman's Day magazine Only half the women who wrote to the magazine said they would marry their cur. rent husbands if they had it to do over again.

“On the whole, men exper ience fulfilment more easily than women do.

“Women are filled with all these romantic yearnings, and romance is finite, limited, difficult to sustain,” David Roadhouse, a Chicago psychotherapist, said in sug- gesting a reason for the disparity

The newspaper survey found men in their first marriages appeared not quite as content as men who had been married more than once. Of the first-timers, 77.1 per cent said they would marry the same woman, while 81.5 per cent of those in subsequent marriages said they would.

The Woman's Day poll found 63 per cent of women in subsequent marriages said they would marry the same man — significantly higher than the 50 per cent of first-time wives.

The length of the marriage also appeared to have some effect on the husband's con. tentment

Seventy-four per cent of the men married fewer than 10 years said they were happy with their wives, but the figure declined to 70 per cent for men in the second decade of marriage.

Strategy to deal

with elk

A comprehensive strategy for dealing with the conflicts between elk and ranching in the East Kootenay area was announced this week by the Ministries of Environment and Agriculture and Food

The number of problem elk

will be determined and where necessary reduced. In addition, ranch management guidelines to minimize wild life damage to fences, crops and stored feed will be established, and, if required. assistance measures for in dividual ranches will be de veloped. “This strategy will focus on clearly identifying specific problem areas and taking action that is consistent with sound conservation and ranching practices,” said En vironment Minister Austin Pelton in making the an nouncement jointly with Agriculture and Food Mini ster Tom Waterland.

“The measures recognize the importance of the East Kootenay elk population as one of our province's most valuable wildlife resources,” Pelton said

“I am very pleased that an approach has been developed that is acceptable to all interested groups,” Water land said. “Ranchers are as concerned about maintaining environmental quality as

problem

they are about reducing their losses.”

Key elements of the strat. egy include:

@ reducing non-migratory elk to acceptable numbers;

© clarifying the responsi. bilities of ranchers for pro- tecting their property from wildlife damage;

establishing an objective and reliable method for as. sessing damage;

e@ designing an assistance program suited to specific circumstances;

e reviewing management objectives for wildlife.

The strategy takes into account the recommenda. tions of a recent compre. hensive report on the subject prepared for the Ministry of Environment (G.K. Bowden, Wildlife Damage on Private Agricultural Land in the East Kootenay, December 1985) and follows extensive con sultation between the minis tries of Environment and Agriculture and Food and local and provincial wildlife and agricultural organiza ions.

The latter include the East Kootenay Problem Wildlife Committee, the Kootenay Livestock Association, the B.C. Wildlife Federation and the B.C. Federation of Natur alists.
