At this time of year especially, the calls come in fast and furious to Carot Ahern and staff at Carol's Costume Corner at the corner of Lonsdale and Esplanade in North Vancouver, From a 1985 opening with 75 costumes of her own to rent and 150 consignment costumes, the business of disguising others has mushroomed to a current inven- tory of approximately 2,000 costumes. Owner Ahern reports the endur- ing clothing-based alter ego for women is the hoop-gowned southern belle, while men prefer to hoist their Halloween sails as swashbucklers. What does she do once the Hal- loween madness has passed? Said Ahern: ‘With entertainment tak- business briefcase Michael Becker ing on more importance in peo- ple’s lives, hosts are turning to gala costume events and putting on everything from '50s theme dances to turn-of-the-century-or-sooner wedding parties. The simplicity of the old toga party has given way to more imaginative ideas such as murder mysteries, cartoons, politi- cal figures, rock stars and movie celebrities." Ahern has also kept busy pro- viding costumes for local theatre productions, including H.M.S. Pinafore, Oklahoma, West Side Story and Little Shop of Horrors. As chief costume designer and costume washer, Ahern has a background in psychology, fi- nance, sculpture and fibre crafts. During the haunting days of Hal- loween, her staff increases from five to 22. Staff includes Neel Morine, who has a background in See Fitness Ask your federal candidates some questions! The future of British Columbia's fishery is threatened by increasing demands by Indian bands in the province. This threat is magnified by federal bureaucrats and some politicians who want to pay off Indian land claims with fish. Ottawa bureaucrats could, in fact, create two classes of citizens in Canada-those with spccial rights to fish, hunt and sell game, and the majority of Canadians with no special rights. The fish resource falls under federal juris- diction, and the federal government is negotiat- ing native fishing rights in secret-without cansulting other parties who have an interest in the resource. The commercial fishing industry, a three-quarters-of-a-billion-dollar business employing about 50,000 Canadians, has no say in the matter. Can your federal candidates answer these questions? Should Canada allocate fish or other resources on the basis of race? Should Indians be given privileged access to public resources? Is it fair for land claims to be settled al the expense of commercial and sports fishermen? Why are some Indian people exempt from payi ng income and sales taxes when they share in all the benefits provided by government through Canadian taxpayers? Do you believe that Indian people should be subject to the same laws as other Canadians? - Do you support the idea of ensuring that Canada’s Department of Fisheries and Occans be the sole management authority over fish, managing the resource for the benefit of al! Canadians? Something is fishy in Ottawa. Let's clear the air.
