Public warned of
foreign lotteries

THE BETTER Business Bureau is warning people against buying
foreign lottery tickets.

Said Better Business Bureau’s Kaye Baker: ‘‘Our bureau receives
many calls a week from people concerned about possible lottery
scams. Everyone loves chances of winning. However, the days of

| the Irish Sweepstakes and knowing who you arc buying from, are
fn the pest.”’ -

The bureau advises extreme caution when considering par-
ticipating in lotteries and recommends buying B.C. Lottery Cor-
poration products. With these products, buyers receive verification
of the wingers through the local news media and throug the lot-
tery corporation’s public relations material.

Added Baker: ‘“‘The money goes back into the province and the
players.”’

Hillside student
talks to the top

HILLSIDE Grade 9 student Krysia Mossakowski has been crowned
the reigning Public Speaking Champion of the Pacific Northwest

Oregon, Washington and California and won the prestigious Op-
timist trophy for the Pacific Northwest and a $1,500 university

public speaking competitions.

school,

Rebecca Matts and Megan Long competed for Hillside in the Saint
Thomas Aquinas tournament against Lower Mainiand private

Aquaculture

council established

THE ESTABLISHMENT of the British Columbia Aquaculture
Research and Development Council (BCARDC) was jointly an-
nounced recentiy by John Savage, Minister of Agriculture and
Fisheries, and Dr. Dennis Connor, chairman of the Science Council
of B.C.

The province and the science council will each contribute $35,000
to support the BCARDC during its first year of operation. Al-
though ultimately self-supporting, the BCARDC requires initial
assistance given the early stage of develop:nent of the industry.

BCARDC will take the Jcad for industry in identifying needs and
establishing research priorities which will increase knowledge of
issues critical to development of the aquaculture industry.

In addition to reviewing research proposals, BCARDC will ac-
tively solicit funding for research in the province. Research will
assist the new B.C. aquaculture industry in reaching its $200 mil-
lion production potential.

WCB releases
new video

THE WORKERS’ Compensation Board has produced a new video
to encourage workers to protect themselves against hazardous noise
levels.

Hearing Protection is an eight-minute, color production that
describes the types of hearing protection available and their advan-
tages.

The video gives a detailed comparison of ear muffs and ear
plugs, with advice on correct care and usage.

Noise-induced hearing ‘css is a gradual and insidious process. ft
can take years to develoz, but ihe effects are permanent. Hearing
Protection gives workers and employers the facts on how to pre-
vent noise-induced hearing loss.

The WCB Films and Posters Section maintains an extensive
library of 706 video, film and slide/tape productions, 140 instruc-
tional books and brochures and more than 200 safety posters.

These are available, on free loan, to interested workers and
employers or can be purchased at reasonable prices.

Copies of Hearing Protection in VHS format are available for

$25.
