A Whale of a Good Time.

Apparently there's not enough female Blue Whales around to satisfy those large, um, appetites of the big blue boys (gives whale new meaning to the term blue balls). Seems the Blues have been getting it on with the Fins. Excuse me but aren't Fin whales little whales? Kind of like a Great Dane doing a Chihuahua, eh?

Anyway, it appearsthere's now a new type of whale as a result of this kinky interaction. My question, what do you call it?

Some ingenious high school students in Ontario came up with the ultimate way to ditch school. 50 school buses had their brake and fuel lines cut.

MP White doesn't want to be typical

By Rhonda Elliot Jay Haaland's Political Science 110 class had a guest speaker the afternoon of February 28.

Reform PM Randy White, who represents the Fraser Valley West constituency, visited UCFV with bis legislative assistant Howard May. White's talk focussed on his role as a Member of Parliament, and his indoctrination into the inner workings of the House of Commons.

As a newly elected MP, White went to Ottawa with hopes of making big changes in short order.

High on bis list of mandates were to ratify changes to the young offenders act, implement a program whereby politicians could be recalled for unsatisfactory or unethical performance, and promote greater use of public referendums for determining policy on important issues such as

euthanasia What White found upon arriving in Ottawa was that an MP has limited input into the workings of the House of Commons.

"You can't ask too many questions too often," states White, and he has become used to answers such "We'll look into that."

White maintains that he is not discouraged by his findings, but admits that be has had to rework bis original game plan.

As a member of the opposition, White declares, "I must say and do what I feel strongly about. For years I belly-ached about politics. I was the biggest complainer there was." He has changed bis attitude now, and feels that by actively being involved in the political process, he can make a difference.

Whether you are coaching your adolescent's T-ball team, leading a brownie or scout cub pack, or have aspiration of taking your team to the nationals, the National Coaching certificate program can provide the tools you need to do the best job.

The University College of the Fraser Valley will offer Levels I, II, and III of the program from March to May this spring.

"Coaches today need to be welleducated and well-informed in a variety of areas, as well as being sensitive to all the needs of their athletes," says Greg Anderson, an exercise physiologist and instructor trainer at UCFV who helps coordinate and teach the program.

"But really, anyone working with children would benefit from the coaching courses. It doesn't necessarily have to be athletic coaching. The emphasis is on learning how to work with children, creating a learning environment for them, learning what their limitations are and how to best develop their individual skills, and giving participants some background on how to design lessons and practice plans."

Anderson has done contract work with the Vancouver Canucks, Edmonton Oilers, and national cycling and rowing teams, and has worked with an Olympic hockey player.

Coaching Level I is for anyone with an interest is working with children.

Experience is not a requirement. Topics include the role of the coach, sports psychology, teaching methods, and practice planning.

Coaching Level II builds on Level I but takes a more in-depth and scientific approach.

Topics include improving leadership skills, motivation, and applying learning principles to improve performance skills. Community and high school coaches would benefit from this course.

Coaching Level III is required for university coaches or for anyone coaching a provincial team or a representative team at an event such as the B.C. Summer Games.

This course will provide coaches with information and experiential learning opportunities to advance their knowledge of basic coaching science and yearly planning: "Level III assumes the coach will have access to the athlete all year and goes into yearly planning, including how to plan the whole season, and what to do in the offseason and pre-season," says Anderson.

"We bring in experts from all over B .C. for this course, basically coaches who work with elite athletes."

Topics include leadership, ethics and values, error detection and correction, and mental and physical preparation.

A certificate can be earned at each level of the coaching program.

Coaching Level III begins March 4 and consists of two full weekends, including Friday evening and all day Saturday and Sunday. The fee is $110.

or those that like melodic rock and roll, February 22 was a night for it at Greg's Place.

The crowd of approximatelytwo hundred and twenty people were there to see Lawrence Gowan.

From the first strum of the guitar to the last note on the piano, they heard some great rock and roll.

The sound was as excellent as it could get for a night club, and the light show wasn't half bad either. But the musicianshipof Gowan with bassist Peter Fredette, ex-Kim Mitchell band member, was outstanding.

The band was so tight and got into a groove that carriedover into the audience, they had people cheering and joining in on some sing-a-longs with Larry, too. For over two hours, Gowan played hits off of his last three albums with songs like Awake the Giant,StrangeAnimal,and his classic, CriminalMind.

Gowan "had people cheering and joining in''

The night ended with Gowan coming back for two encores. The second encore was a revised version of the Beatles hit StrawberryFieldsForever,which was done to perfection using his three sampling machines.

All in all, Gowan was great and he says he'd like to come back. If you didn't catch him the first time, be sure to check him out when he returns. I'm sure you won't be disappointed.

frontof the tape. It's from aLovecraftstory.

In your music, you seem to have a lot of satire. Like in the track 'Mustard Gas', the lyrics seem so angry, but it comes across as so humorous because there's such a contrast.

Well, the one thing we try not to do is take ourselves too seriously. We try to have fun with it. That's why when we're live we wear costumes and have props and monsters. We're more entertainers than musicians.

By Nolan Webb

Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Warren Banks, lead guitarist for one of Abbotsford' s finest bands, The Darkest of The Hillside Thickets...

How did you come up with the band name?

Our lead singer, Toren Atkinson, is a big fan of an author called H.P. Lovecraft, and there's a line from the Lovecraft story, TheTomb, in which a man "walked through the darkest of the hillside thickets."

When did you guys get this band together?

In the summer of '91, we were going · to the ShuffleDemons,and we were walking down the street and we decided to be a band... We were talking to our friends MysteryMachine,and we said, "Why don't yougive us an opening slotr', and they said, "If you want we' IIgive you ten minutes", so we said "Holy Cow, okay." We've been an actual band for about two years now.

What stuff did you listen to before you became a band?

We all pretty much listened to the Seattle sound with Soundgarden and Nirvana, and also No Means No from Victoria How would you describe your sound?

We're first and foremost catchy.

Something that you won't mind listening

By Monique Marchant

Multicult ism is a Canadian word, a Canadian concept, yet it is something that many people in our country would have difficulty defining, let alone understanding. Sometimes it is defined in opposition to what is considered to be an American concept, the melting pot.

This melting pot is fairly self explanatory. All people who live in the United States are proud Americans. TheY,are a unified whole, no matter where they may originally conie from, or what group in society they may . part of. ' In Canada ulticulturalism is always impressed upon us, yet what exactly is it? Neither my dictionary nor thesaurus recognized the word ''multiculturalism", ''multicultural", or "cultural", but they did contain the word "culture".

Webster's inth New Collegiate Dictionary defines culture as a: The integrated pattern of human knowledge, belie . and behavior that depends upon man's capacity for learning and transmitting knowledge to succeeding gen 'ans b: the customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group. · A lot can be said for the American way in that they stand as a whole, as a proud country, yet this may also be their falling down. Lack of understanding of different goups has resulted in difficulties all over the world. Multiculturalism allows people to retain some sense of individuality, to be a part of a small group within the whole.

Whether e melting pot or the multiculturalism approach is the successful way to run a country, only the future can tell us. Realistically, they,both have their problems.

Countries that crumble quite often do so from within. The crumbling of the melting pot as people struggle to get ou to be recognize$l. The crumbling of a country.which encourages multiculturalism, the creation of many arts which are not solidly meltef together in anyway to form 'awhole;, If the American and theCanadian way~could some how become one, where we could have a country that recognized each individual group within society while still having strong national ties, then Canada would be a truly· al country, · " " ?§ t-" · $~ F · . ed as being the we, butthere is a1ot to tilsaid fora united ltisimpo tthateveryoneis ,canfdian· flag. ·'~t'f \',.,:,., \ .

am a criminal.

Not because I kill people, rob elderly women or torture small animals in the privacy of my bedroom.

I am a criminal because I participate in the underground economy.

Yes, according to my Webster's, evading the GST qualifies as a crime. And I have, on occasion, purchased goods or services without paying the government their cut.

As have about 26 million other Canadians.

However, we all know that the "everybody does it" defence is not legit. We were so reminded recently by that beacon of virtue, federal Revenue Minister David Anderson. ''The underground economy is costing the federal treasury billions a year," declared Anderson. He vowed back onto the path of honesty, goodness, and virtue.

I was unclear on the implications of this pronouncement. Search and seizure raids? Random interrogations? Identity cards? Perhaps CSIS will initiate a Revenue Intelligence division.

Realistically, the government can do absolutely nothing to clamp down on the underground economy.

On one level, the government has no moral authority to fight the underground economy. Successive federal governments have fueled the situation through rapacious

you happen to spend the greater part of your day with your butt firmly planted on the seat of a tractor, then choosing a unit with the ultimate in comfort and practicality is your number one priority.

On March 2, a group of representatives from John Deere farm equipment, comprised of members from across B.C., descended on Abby Campus for a series of meetings, demonstrations and product comparisons. The farm equipment business is a huge market, and product education is a vital matter in this industry.

U.C.F.V. trades students got in on the act, and "were crawling all over the units" according to Faculty Advisor Joe Kovacs. ''Twice in one year" U.C.F.V. has been treated to the industry show and ten said Kovacs, and often "this equipment is new to the field, students are seeing machinery which has just hit the market".

On site in the machine shop were two state-of-the-art John Deere tractors, and one Ford unit used for comparison.

taxation and irresponsible spending habits, essentially riving honest, law-abiding citizens into crime.

On a legal level, the feds would have toembarlc upon a massive prison-building infrastructure program to house this new criminal class. This is economically unfeasible given the serious deficit and debt problem.

Finally, on a political level, attempts at enforcement would backfire in a big way. People recognize a naked emperor when they see one.

The vast majority of underground economizers are hard-working, law-abiding people who pay income tax, UI premiums, Canada pension premiums, PST, and GST, not to mention exorbitant gasoline and alcohol taxes. They're willing to pay he price ...to a point The recent cigarette tax revolt in Quebec was very instructive. Government crossed the line; the people rebelled.

This is a process that Canadians may have to grow used to: It seems to be the only language our government understands.

But, at the end of tl)e day, participation in the underground economy is still a crime. People must take responsibility for their actions. So must governments.

By the way, Webster's also defines "crime" as "something reprehensible, foolish, or disgraceful."

Who is the criminal again?

Kinesiology a diverse, ■ ByRhondaElliot yet intense study The

fitness craze of the seventies launched a new awareness of personal conditioning, and people have become much more educated on health related issues. It is no longer acceptable to most people to lead a sedentary lifestyle, and people are walking, jogging, swimming and working out to get into shape and attain a felling of well-being.

Knowledge of human anatomy and the role of the musculoskeletal system in physical activity allows for enhanced physical ability and fitness. Dr. Greg Anderson, a member of the UCFV Kinesiology department, acknowledges a great interest in the study ofbuman motion and physical activity.

Anderson explains that kinesiology is an applied science which takes information from other disciplines, such as physiology, anatomy, sports psychology, and nutrition, and applies

this to tbe study of human movement.

"Our faculty offers 13 courses, and we are hoping to develop a oneyear certificate program and a two-year diploma program.

These programs would include study in fitness and conditioning, exercise physiology, and basic science, supplemented by courses in business and counselling skills.

There would also be a mandatory work study program."

Anderson indicates that other plans for tbe department include establishing a "centre for active living" on campus, wbicb would offer fitness I testing, • exercise prescription, special interest and certification courses.

"The centre would provide an information data base for the community, and serve to promote the concept of active living."

Anderson is currently kept busy challenging bis students, and performing research on physiological functioning in children.

In the past, however, he's had extensive exposure to working with athletes. While a professor in Cape Breton, Anderson worked with the Edmonton Oiler farm team as an exercise physiologist.

He has also worked with the Vancouver Canucks, and with the national athletes involved in rowing, cycling, and skating.

The interest in all levels of health and fitness has led to a rapid growth in the field of sports physiology and sports medicine in the last two decades. Along with increased participation in sporting activities, there is an increase in _sports related injwies ..

Greg B~y. a physiotherapist at the Fraser Valley Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Clinic in Abbotsford, regularly sees injuries resulting from improper training techniques.

"People beginning an athletie program tend to attempt too much, too soon, causing overuse injuries," says Bay. "The body is unable to adapt to this sudden increase in activity, and the end result is injury."

Regarding injuries sustained during sports, Bay says "the majority of athletic injuries I see are sprains and strains to various muscles and joints. This can be an ankle sprain sustained on the basketball court, or a muscle sprain on the

After sustaining an injury, the sports medicine professional makes an assessment, and develops a treatment plan. The key to successful treatment of athletic injuries is to educate the patient on prevention, care, and treatment techniques.

It is important to note, however, that we all have a responsibilitytounderstaildthefactorsinvolvedinmodifying

Dear Editor;

Dear Readers:

Attention staff and students, have you noticed the doors between E and B Buildings are fixed open. The heavy doors on the fourth floor of E Building between the classrooms and the washrooms are also fixed open. The physically challenged students have worked on an easier access through these doors sinceE Buildingbecame functional. We wish to thank the College for understanding our needs, and rectifying the problem of opening the heavy doors.

Due to the lack of Letters to Ed., Ed. is considering pissing everyone off. Or has that already happened?

I am just writing to you to list my overwhelming satisfaction with the student society this year!

Because of their strong leadership and efficient overall organization, they have given not only myself, but the rest of the student body something, well a lot of things to be proud of.

First, they ignored the board meetings almost all of last semester, to the point where Dr. Jones sent them a letter urging our student representatives to attend.

Thank goodness they did because they all stood straight like puppets, oops ... I mean free thinkers and gloriously praised theideaofpayparking. Forthatl'meternally grateful.

Jayce Henderson, (the president; betcha didn't know that!) chirped that the $255 fee, which is a bit higher than the $105, would be quite economical for all of the students.

I must .confess, where would the world be today if we had leaders like that?

Overall, I'm very elated that the money I pay each semester to the student society budget, as a part of my tuition is being well spent.

I hope that Jayce, Kevin, and even little Brent spend it wisely on their gas allowance, oops ... I mean on the Student Body.

Canada puts down the hatntner in Norway

By Jeff Tisdale Myriam Bedard. Jean-Luc Brassard.

Edi Podivinsky. These are a few of the thirteen medal winners that represented Canada recently at the winter Olympics is Lillehammer, Norway. This total blows away the old mark of seven set in 1932 and equaled in 1992.

These games were a source of triumph and tragedy for our athletes. The accomplishments of Myriam Bedard, who won two gold medals in the biathlon, have been touted as the greatest individual achievement at the international level since 1984, whenGeatanBoucherwonagoldand a silver in speed skating.

Jean-Luc Brassard of Quebec, on the other hand, merely solidified his claim as the greatest freestyle mogi.Jller in the world today by winning the gold medal.

Edi Podivinsky did the impossible, winning a medal in an event which he was expected to finish no higher than 10th.

However, for all of the stories of personal/national pride there are of course those of a tragic nature.

The women's short track speed skating team suffered frustrating results as they could not compete evenly with the wild, hell-bent for the leather tactics of American Cathy Turner. In each race with Turner, the Canadian skaters Nathalie Lambert,SylvieDaigleandisabelleCharest

were cut off, mugged and accosted All this in a sport which ironically regards any contact whatsoever as grounds for disqualification.

Perhaps the biggest disappointment for Canada came from figure skating.

Heading into the Games there was much anticipation as to who would finish first and second. Woi.Jlditbe Stojko, then Browning, or vice versa?

Sadly, Browning fell in the first day of competition which guaranteed that he would be out of the medal hunt in his last Olympics. Stojko on the other hand skated superbly on both days of the competition, yet was rewarded with only a silver.

Once again the question of bias entering the scoring decision arose, but appears to have fallen on deaf ears.

Perhaps the biggest achievement by Canada of these Games was the rags to riches run of the national hockey team.

They proved the experts wrong and turned the skeptics into believers as they battled their way into the gold medal game, only falling short in the shoot-out.

Powerful Enigma needs no enema

By Buzz & Skeeter When was the last time you heard an album, not just a song, but an entire album, that was so powerful that you had to just sit there in awe, revelling in its greatness (OK, apart from the Smashing Pumpkins)?

Probably the last time you heard Enigma. The last album, MCM ... or whatever it was, was really great · It was.

Really. No, I'm not lying to you, it was great. (That means go buy it).

But this, this is amazing. The music is so powerful, emotionally uplifting. It is, like the last one, very sensually musically it makes you feel higher, almost putting you in a (god no!) philosophical, one with nature

and the universe type of mood/groove, but without the sappiness that some bands ooze when they try something like that And the lyrics - very poignant, very powerful. "Don't be afraid to be weak/ Don't be too proud to be strong/ Just look into your heart my friend/ That will be the return to yourself/ the return to innocence."

I like it, and so will you. Buy it.

Oh, and I should say that if it wasn't for that cool, cool place called Rhino cappuccino, I never would have heard this.

So go there, get some really good coffee, andhearsomecooltunes. You'llthankme.

Coming Next Time: I will once again be brazen, outspoken and offensive.

Join me, won't you!

Short hour malady; momentary madness a definite cure The Keg comes to the, Fraser Valley

By Jill Bryant Unless you've been living in your you closetsince themiddleoflastsemesier, probably have been to or beard about the new Keg in the Valley on West Railway Street in Abbotsford. H you haven't been there, this one,' s definitely worth getting out of that enclosed space.

Obviously most of the Fraser Valley has figured out that this place exists--it is almost always busy, and you should expect to wait for a few minutes before being seated.

These people certainly know how to make a good first impression though-if it's very busy and the wait is longer than ten minutes, they often put out a veggie tray with dip in the fayer for one to munch on while waiting.

Granted, this place isn't cheap, but you can get over this obstacle by attending any UCFV Activities-sponsored event (the basketball games are a prime example, however,you'reoutofluckbynow)andthe nice people al the door will p-obably give you a coupon for a free appetizer.

It's especially amusing to go into the Keg with about eight of your friends (or enemies-it doesn't really matter), slap down your coupons, and promptly order the mostexpensiveappetizeron the menu, with water to drink.

Talk about a cheap evening outthis one won't cost you a cent! The Shrimp Gratinee is especially delicious, but be careful when you pick up the cute li.!tle fork from the bot plate they present your food on. Dub! It really takes a brain to leave a metal forlc on a really bot plate-and they wonder why people are plunging their

f'mgers into their water glasses. Just remember, I warned you!

Of course, if you have a bmnansized appetite rather than that of a small rodent, you may wish to embellish this rather small portion with a full meal.

Unfortunately,mybudgetdoesn'tstretchto these luxuries, so you'll have to take·their word for it and try them yourself.

The other option js dessert (my favorite food group).

The Keg has come up with this inaedibleconcoction they call "Momentary Madoess"-chocolateand vanillaiceaeam, peanut butter and chocolate cookie-aumb base, withwarmchocolatesauceandpeanuts OD top.

Can you say heaven? This is almost too much to eat by yourself, so itis perfectly all right to share. Be warned though-you may have to fight for the last bite.

There are two really weird things about the Keg. Nmnberoneisthestaff-theyalmost look like they're having fun (not a usual occurrence). The service is very good, and all the servers are friendly enough to engage you in conversation. This is one place that I would always recommend tipping, because they almost always deserve it.

Numbertwoweirdthingisthebours.

They'reonlyopenfor 5-lOpm, which means no lunches, and no midnight munchies.

This is really too bad, because the mellow atmosphere and classic ambiance would lend themselves well to both lunch and the late evening/ early morning bungries.

Other than these two slightly skewed policies, the Keg gets my vote of confidence.

Check it out-and don't forget those coupons!

This music is diverse, intelligent and generally a good listen, even though it's from a guy who's ~ climbed every bandwagon there ,,,,.., everwas,fromglam-rockinthe eighties (i.e. 'Strange Animal') to bis present unplugged status.

.J..

By Nolan Webb Sincebe'sintownforsomeconcerts, I think a few words are in order regarding Bryan Adams.

First of all, anyone who questions bis status as a Canadian is an idiot. What I would like to question is the loyalty of his fans.

Of the trillions of people who own Adam's"WakingUp TbeNeigbbours"CD or even that damned '1bree Musketeers" soundtrack, I wonder how many know about or can appreciate his "Into The Fire" release?

Real fans didn't hop right on that old bandwagon just because of ''Everythir.g I Do". Adams willfindouthowmanyfanshe really has ifhe shies away from bis bottlesgeneric-radio-pop sound and ever experiments on a disc again like he did on "Into The Fire".

But the likelihood of Adams pulling bis hands out of the American pot of gold to save musical integrity is slim.

So when you're shelling out forty bucks to sit in the nosebleed seats at the Coliseum to hear "Please Forgive Me" for the million-and-first time, ask yourself is you really respect and enjoy bis music or if you're a mass-media clone.

Now for some reviews: CRASH TEST DUMMIES - God Shuffled His feet This release is a lot like their first, in that their music is basically the samethrougbout Youeitherloveordespise (I lean to the latter) Brad Roberts' low virtually range-less voice. Some of this is catchy but none of the music is technically difficult or even challenging. This will lead to splitting migraines after more than one listen to this CD. And I swear 'MMM MMMMMM' sounds similar to 'Superman Song' from last album, except this song has even dumber lyrics. All in all, pretty lame...no wonder they're getting popular in the States.

Blue Light Special

Experience great, new talent while saving $$

By Michelle Demers After a lapse of my brain and penchant for cheapness, I'm back.

I hope you all enjoyed your reading break suffciently and actually managed to do some reading ....

My travels led me to Big White and Snowshoe Sam's, the pit of coolness.

My travel companion and I, weary from the bus ride from hell, were greeted with "ya got some ID. r• and the sound of celtic rock, courtesy of the PAPERBOYS. This band (local by the way) rocked and it was free to see them!!! (Even better) This is where the Blue Light portion of the show comes in.

This band was great And free. And soon playing al a venue near you.

In the spirit of frugality, what more

could you ask for? Forget the $50 tix to see the Gods of rock and roll.

These guys and bands like them could be the next ones and you can say that you saw them first. Close up. And maybe even talked to them.

Where do you go to see such gems?

For starters, read the Georgia Straight for down town action or the Valley Voice for 'local venues.

Next, you grab three friends, a designated driver, some beer money and you're on your way.

Places to keep your eye on: Annies (The Wack) on Tuesdays, The PIT Pub (UBC) and the SFU Pub on Thursdays and the Commodore o,; Town Pump on the weekend. Also, keep an eye out for any Veritable Shrine productions, a plethora of cool sounds for few bucks.

How to drive like a Chilliwackian A step-by-step guide that will assure you of becoming one of the greatest

By Shannon L. Bradley They pay no heed to traffic regulations, no attention to other cars, swerve all over the road, and drive half the speed limit Welcome to Chilliwack.

If you are new to Rainbow Country, the first thing you may notice is the way the Chilliwack motorists have developed their own driving technique.

It is essential to learn the ways of the Chilliwack driver, if you intend to survive our busy city streets. , You must create a new image for yourself and your car, learn the rules of

Also popular are wide brim cowboy hats (4 X 4 truck drivers), a fisherman's cap with hooks attached and toques which are seen in every Volkswagen van.

Now, for the men out there, it is necessary to wear a T-shirt that has the slogan for a type of beer.

For the women, a housecoat will do just fine. The rest of your outfit doesn't matter, considering you will be slouched in yow: seat, viewing the road through your steering wheel. This helps prevent whiplash when you rear-end the car in front of you.

Other opinion sucks; makes for a bad day

By DallasJ. I'm so filled with piss and bile this time out that I'm going to review two things that are major contributing factors to my condition: the Bootsauce/Pillbox/ Dig Circus concert that occurred on February 4 at the Commodore Ballroom, and the new Alice InChains release, Jar Of Flies (Columbia).

First off, I am not pissed off about the concert itself. What I am pissed off about is the way that some major ditz submitted a half-assed review that was printed in one of our major-circulation Vancouver papers, and now those who

of their music? "Sorry Whole", indeed.

Anyway, Bootsauce was great.

Energy, crowd contact (yep, that was me who pulled Drew into the crowd during the encore, "Fight For Your Right"-the old Beastie Boys song), and excellent sound quality came together to form a great party atmosphere, despite the crowd- , surfer kicking you in the face.

My condolences to those who were not in attendance.

Pillbox sucked.

Dig Circus, from Toronto, performed one of the best opening sets I've seen in a long time.

Boppy (comparatively speaking), extremely high energy, and sarcastic-an all-round

EAR TO THE GROUND read it see it as the truth.

This moron (whose name I have blocked out of my memory) said that she had never beard of Bootsauce before (whattheintercoursehasshebeendoing?) and she received free tickets to the concert (a blessing really).

She stated that she only stayed for five songs because they were based on sex, bondage, and violence. Well, YEAH! That is what the band is about: sexual innuendo (''Let's Eat Out"), kinky sex ("Bad Dinner''), and the politics of violence ("Automatic").

So, if you do not like this, do not show up!

By the way, if by some slight chance the writer of the aforementioned article gets to read this, one question: How is it that I have been listening to Bootsauce for about five years and still cannot understand all their words, and yet you were able to step into an extremely loud concert and pick out every nuance

qualified Canadian band. Their latest recording, Shekkie II- Electric Boogaloo, is cool but the band excels live. They even have (and play) an accordion and mandolin. YOW! Second off, Alice in Chains, on a regular day, would put anyone, even Rip Taylor, into a moody and pensive state.

Slow them down, attach advanced harmonies and acoustic guitars, record it all on an EP called Jar Of Flies, and there you go: justifiable grounds for suicide.

Actually, it's not all that depressing. In fact, they almost sound, well, up? Nab, it's more along the lines of "innocence is lost but instead of fighting it this time, I'm just leaving."

For those who know the band, it is the average between Sap and Dirt.

For the rest of you, it is the average between this mortal coil we inhabit and Dante's first level of Hell. Pick it up and think you're cool and dark.

of your fingers together.

You can point at.anything that is of interest to you. The Chilliwackian will usually point at cows, mountains, corn fields or churches. While you are pointing it is also necessary to use the brake and slow down the vehicle.

Now that you have fully completed your image as a driver, you must adjust your car's appearance. You will be spotted right away as a tourist if more than half the lights on your car are in working order.

Be sure that at least one of each set (tail, brake, and headlights) is broken. If not, kick it in. Check the bumper of your car and make sure it has the correct bumper stickers. Slogans such as "I Drove the Coquihalla," "Jesus is Lord," and "Born to Oearcut" are good examples.

You must also have a fluorescent yellow and blue "CHWK 1270 AM" tennis ball on your antenna This is our local radio station. Now that this is complete, enter your new vehicle.

Before closing the door, be sure the seat belt is hanging out far enough to make sparks as it drags along the concrete.

Next, adjust your mirroi:s to the following positions: rear view mirror to your lips (for frequent lipstick checks or to study mustache growth), right hand side mirror to the sky, and left hand side mirror to the pavement This keeps you distracted from watching the traffic behind you.

Start your car, and immediately turn on right-hand signal light This is to remain on at AU. TIMES!! Tune into CHWK 1270 on your AM dial, and you are now ready to begin the journey.

Backoutofthedriveway, but pay no

attention to children or animals as they can fend for themselves. Now, slowly, slowly, accelerate. If you are driving a standard, eliminate the use of third and fourth gear. T here is no need for them in this town.

Once on the road, if you have the choice, merge directly into the fast lane, remembering NOT to shoulder check.

That's the other person's problem.

As for speed, 40 km/h is a good rule ofthumb. Youcanallowalittlebitmorefor school and hospital zones.

When driving on the back, open country roads, 40 km/h applies here too, only if you swerve to the center of the road to prevent anyone from passing you. People shouldn't be in such a hurry these days anyway.

When approaching an intersection, be careful; the traffic lights have a slightly different meaning in Chilliwack. Red still means stop, but yellow and green can get a little confusing. If you see a green light, slow down because there is a chance it could turn yellow. If it does, rou had better speed up and race through it While turning left at a busy intersection, put your left indicator on at the last possible second, to ensure frustration of the drivers that are lined up behind you.

Merge out to the middle of the intersection and remain there until you can see no oncoming traffic, even if you must wait through several light changes.

When you are driving, you may notice a lot of l!onking. Acknowledge this by simply honking back and waving a friendly "Hello."

Now as you round the corner to your destination (being sure to cut someone oft), you can feel proud of what you have

.

A case study: What you can do to get invovled Mohammad Shawkat, a 13-yearold street child. He earns a living in the capital, Dhaka, by doing odd jobs. His homevillageisKalarbatnearPurbaDhala, district Netrakona in North Bangladesh.

Mohammad was awoken as he slept on the veranda of a residential building in the Azimpur area of Dhaka.

Two police constables asked him to follow them.

In a nearby field, one of the constables ordered the boy to strip and then sexually assaulted him.

A second assault, during which the boy lost consciousness, took place later at the Azimpur police sub-station outpost Mohammad regained consciousness in the morning and was released. No reason was given for his detention, nor was he questioned. ' On August 1, Mohammad disappeared from the hospital after three days of treatment.

It is feared that he may either have

gone into hiding out of fear of punishment for lodging a complaint, or he may have been threatened by police to leave Dhaka to prevent any follow-up in the case.

Amnesty International is concerned.

The treatment Mohammad Shawkat received while in police custody constibJtes torture. AI opposes the use of torture, or other cruel, inhmnan or degrading treatment or punishment in all cases.

Bangladesh has a large and expanding population of street children children who literally live on the pavements of the cities without parents or guardians.

Some authorities estimate that there are 50,000 street children in Dhaka alone, many of whom leftrural villages in hopes of a better life.

Those that find jobs face low wages and poor conditions, while others bJrn to petty crime and prostitution. Street children are regularly picked up by the police who exact bribes, beat, humiliate, and harass them.

AI has received many reports that

bothmale and female children are sexually abused in custody.

Take action by writing courteously worded letters including the following points: -Express concern that 13-year-old Mohammad Shawkat was raped by two police constables in Dhaka on 28 July 1993 and has since disappeared. Mention that Mohammed may either have gone into hiding out offearof punishment for lodging acomplaint,.orhemayhavebeenthreatened by police to follow it -Call for an immediate investigation , into the torture of Mohammed Shawkat by police constables in Dhaka. Point out that this must include bringing the alleged rapists to justice.

Urge that the investigation also . include finding out where Mohammed is.

up:

Urge the government to take steps to protect children from abuse during interrogation.
