Man guilty
of assault

A 20-YEAR-OLD Burnaby man received an 18-month suspended
sentence after being convicted in North Vancouver provincial
court Dec. 28 on a charge of assaulting a man outside the Lynn
Valley 7-Eleven.

William John Bodner was found guilty of assault in connection
with a July 17, 1989 incident outside the convenience store at
Mountain Highway and Lynn Valley Road.

When asked by the judge what he was doing outside (the store
at 11 p.m., Bodnar replied he had come to Lynn Valley with
friends from East Vancouver ‘‘looking for a party.”*

According to earlier testimony by a police officer who was un-
dercover at the time, Bodner chased a car and delivered 15 to20
blows to the driver while he was still seated in the car.

Bodner was aiso put on probation for 18 months and ordered
to complete 100 hours of community work service.

Pizza 222 scuffle
ends in $1 fine

A 22-YEAR-OLD man was put on probation for four months and
fined $1 after a dispute over a refrigerator in a West Vancouver
pizza parlor landed him in court.

Charlo Hector Rousseau, of no fixed address, faced three
charges in a Dec. 24 trial in West Vancouver provincial court in
connection with an incident at Pizza 222 on Marine Drive last
year.

He pleaded guiliy to one count of mischief under $1,000 for
kicking the pizza parlor’s door on March 9, 1990.

The court stayed a charge against Rousseau and his father,
Hugo Hector Rousscau, of obstructing a police officer as well as
a charge laid against Charlo Rousseau of resisting a police officer.

The charges stem from a dispute over repairs to Pizza 222's re-
frigeration unit in connection with Charlo’s refrigeration com-
pany, CR Ice Machines Inc.

Judge R.D. Grandison also ordered Charlo Rousseau to pay the
owner of the pizza parlor $250 in compensation.

Rousseau’s lawyer, H. Sarava, represented the defendants who
were not present for the trial. They are believed to be in Calgary.

West Vancouver District has dropped charges against Charlo
Rousseau for operating a business in the municipality without 2
valid business licence.

NV woman jailed -
for false pretences

A 28-YEAR-OLD North Vancouver woman was sent to jail for 60
days Dec. 28 after facing in North Vancouver provincial court
several charges of using false pretences.

Jacqueline Douma pleaded guilty to all 10 courts. Between Feb.
9 and March 3, 1990, Douma purchased by false pretences such
items as figurines, mobiles, a microscope kit, clothes and a dinner
set from The Bay and Eaton's.

Judge J.K. Shaw ordered Douma to pay a total of $1,100.09 in
restitution to the two department stores as well as the Bank of
Nova Scotia within six months of her release from prison. She
will also be on probation for two years.

(f federal funding doesn’t come
through for the KAON project,
Vogt predicts research
breakthroughs and technological
spin-offs will flow to other coun-
tries,

Meanwhile, North Vancouver
MP Chuck Cook said a federal
decision awaits cabinet considera-
tion,

Said Cook, ‘‘The problem with
KAON of course is that it is in
Vancouver. If this was in Quebec
or Ontario, | don't think that
there would be any question that
it would go ahead. But this shifts
a good deal of prestige in science
to the West Coast if KAON goes
ahead. What the stupid govern-
ment is going to do, I don’t
know. But I quite frankly think if
KAON is not approved after all
the lobbying, then I don’t think
anybody who is a Conservative
deserves to be elected in Western
Canada — it’s that important.”*

Meanwhile the persistent prob-
ing of nature’s building blocks at
TRIUMF has already resulted in
dozens of technological develop-
ments including medical isotopes,
the PET brain scanner, superfast
microchips, robotics applications,
pion beam cancer therapy, large
scale precision tooling and scien-
tific software.

At the heart of the present
TRIUMF facility sits the world’s
largest cyclotron. The machine,
which contains more steel than the
Port Mann bridge, speeds up pro-
ton particles to three-quarters the
speed of light.

Explains Vogt, ‘‘A magnet in
the cyclotron holds the protons in
place. They go round and around.
You kick them with electrical
fields until they go very, very fast
and they come out of the machine
after guing around abou: three
miles inside the machine.”’

Protons exiting the cylotron are
held together by magnets and
travel along 2 beam about as thick
as a finger. When the beam passes
through matter, it produces little
sparks or bundles of energy called
mesons or pions. The sparks last a
26-billionth of a second. They are
collected with magnets and
brought to places inside the
research facility where scientists
from around the world come to
conduct experiments.

if the TRIUMF expansion goes
ahead, the facility will be able to
produce kaons, short-lived parti-
cles that require a beam travelling
at 0.999 the speed of light.

Said Vogt, ‘“*The KAON project
has a number of aims but perhaps
the simplest is to fook at the next
family of quarks (the basic stuff

sorts of unusual ways. For in-

turn the direction of time
backwards — the physics changes,
which is not the way any decent
building block ought to behave.

these strange quarks is a relative
of our pion. But it’s more massive
than our pion, it’s called a kaon.
The strange quark has centre stage

TRIUMF officials project that a

companies.
