Interferon shows promise

NEW ORLEANS (AP) — The natural protein interferon, combined with standard chemotherapy drugs, shows promise in controlling multiple myeloma, a lethal form! of bone cancer, say researchers,

“We finally have a leg up on ar. resting the natural progression of the disease and producing patients who are alive at five years, which has been a rarity,” said Dr. Martin Oken of the University of Minnesota.

His research is part of a new effort by scientists to find a role for inter. feron by combining it with drugs long used to attack cancer.

Oken said interferon might pro- vide a knockout punch after cancer has been weakened, but not des- troyed, by other medicin

The work may also represent a revival of the fortunes of interferon, which has been on a roller coaster of public acclaim and disdain for a dee ade.

REGULATES SYSTEM Interferon is a natural, hormone- like substance that, among other things, helps regulate the body's im- mune system. When the human gene that makes this chemical was iso-

lated, some experts predicted many uses for interferon in eliminating cancer and infectio

However, studies showed when used alone, interferon had little major impact except in a rare form of leukemia.

In the latest research, presented at the annual meeting of the American Association of Clinical Oncology, doctors found interferon plus chemo- therapy produced complete remis- sions in 30 per cent of 54 patients studied.

Such remissions, in which all signs

of the disease are gone, are rare in multiple myeloma, and they are the first step toward curing the disease.

In all, 41 per cent of the patients had complete, or nearly complete remissions, In an earlier study, only 11 per cent of the patients reached this level after receiving chemo- therapy alone.

In anothe? gtudy presented at the meeting, doctors from the University of North Carolina showed promising early results of testing interferon against chronic myelogenous leukem-

Earlier Saturday Sunfest parade helped set the tone for the day's festivities as hundreds lined the parade route to catch a glimpse of visiting

the annual

royalty, marching bands and festive floats.

Many of the entries were decorated in the Australian theme. The parade was about the same size as last year's version, with more than 70 entries — and last year's was the largest in Sunfest_ history. The parade took about 35 minutes to pass any one spot as it wound down the parade route, which stretched from the top of Sherbiko Hill, down Columbia Avenue and up 3rd Street to Kinsmen Park

The Grand Parade Marshall this year was Australian Consul General David Combe, and special guest was Ernie Dingo, an Aboriginal star of the movie Crocodile Dundee II

NEGOTIATOR HIRED

By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer

Castlegar school board has hired a professional negotiator to represent it in bargaining with teachers whose contracts expire July 1

But the president of the Castlegar and District Teachers’ Association is unhappy with the board's decision to bring in an outside negotiator.

“I'm disappointed that the board would consider spending this amount of money on a paid negotiator, espec ially when the board consists of five experienced union people who could probably do a better job,” said Mike Rodgers.

5. Customs gets tough on drugs

By CasNews Staff

U.S. Customs officials have gotten tough on drugs with a program which started in March at Northwest U.S. border crossings.

The program has been in place for about a year at eastern border crossings

The program, called Zero Toler ance, makes it easier for customs to enforce penalties for drug seizures.

“We no longer have to mitigate, we now have a court order to appear,” said Jim Lewis of the office of en forcement in Blaine, Washington soyth of Vancouver.

Powis says there has only been one drug seizure at the Paterson border crossing south of Rossland. But other Northwest U.S. border crossings have seen increased drug seizures followed by a sharp decline as the new policy becomes publicly known.

“The word seems to have gotten out,” said Lewis.

Lewis says the Blaine office has received letters from people saying

Josephson appointed chief judge

By BRENDAN NAGLE Staff Writer

A 13-year Castlegar provincial court judge was appointed Thursday to the position of chief judge of the provincial court of B.C.

Judge Bruce Josephson said he is honored to be the provincial cabinet's choice for the appointment

“It’s a great honor,” he told the Castlegar News Thursday. “I'm following in the footsteps of some chief judges who have performed ex tremely well.”

The 43-year-old native of Saskat chewan replaces Chief Judge Gerald Coultas, who was recently appointed as a Supreme Court Justice.

The appointment to the position will mean the 20-year Castlegar resi dent will have to move to Vancouver, and despite ‘the honor of being ap- pointed to his new position, Jp

However, secretary treasurer John Dascher said $10,000 has been budgeted for negotiations.

Rodgers said Castlegar and Dis. trict’s 110 teachers will not be hiring someone to represent them in its contract talks.

“We couldn't even afford it,” he said.

acting school board chairman de- clined to discuss issues involved in the contract negotiations.

“We have agreed there will be’ a news blackout until bargaining breaks down,” said Rodgers.

‘Things run more smoothly this way,” noted Pongracz.

Pongracz said bargaining, which is still in the initial stages, is going well.

The Nelson school district has also hired Bell to do its negotiating and Trail school district has hired Dan Bell of Western Industrial Relations Ltd.

Adams. acclaimed new president

By BONNE MORGAN Staff Writer

The Castlegar and District Tea chers’ Association has a new president

Joyce Adams, 49, will replace the current head of the teachers’ associa tion, Mike Rodgers, only July 1.

Adams who takes the position just as the teachers’ contracts expire said she will be devoting a lot of energy towards bargaining for the teachers.

“One of our main goals is to obtain a good first contract,” she said, although she doesn't expect teachers will be meeting over the summer on negotiations.

Adams’ background includes eight years as a teaching staff representa tive and a worksing and learning conditions chairperson. She is finishing her second year as a part-time teacher at Robson elementary school, for a total of 14 years in the district. She also taught as a substitute teacher for four years and taught in B.C., Ontario and Manitoba for several years.

“I really feel I know the job from all areas,” said Adams who was selected by acclamation in May

Adams said there won't be any changes in the'teachers’ bargaining team and that Rodgers is still willing

JOYCE ADAMS new president

to be involved in settling what she hopes will be a two-year contract.

“We don't think we'll get a contract until well into the fall,” she added

The teachers’ association, which became a union this year, will probably retain the title association, said Adams.
