Ca world wide web Canada Post sales agreement no 0563595 recycled newsprint b used in the prod no Tom of this newspaper could prevent 6,700 deaths researcher says continued from a1 and that a not Only Good news for the majority of flu sufferers who Are knocked out for the better part of a week from the virus. It could also prevent about 6,700 deaths from flu complications in Canada each year. Aoki said. In Manitoba Between 15 and 20 per cent of the population is at High risk of developing serious complications from influenza including the elderly and those with heart or lung disease diabetes chronic bronchitis and his. A the True flu is serious not trivial a he said. Unlike Strain specific flu vaccines currently available for High risk groups Zana Mimir is effective on All strains of flu Aoki said. Still he cautioned that High risk groups should still continue to get flu vaccines even if the drug is eventually approved for use. Another promising aspect of the drug is it can significantly Speed the Reco very process from seven or eight Days to three to four Aoki said. Although Many people confuse influenza with common cold symptoms which include a Runny nose sneezing and other flu like symptoms influenza usually hits within a few hours leaving the person feeling like Kaufmann plans slammed continued from a1 Kaufmann said the City would save $25 million Over five years by forcing City workers to compete with the private sector for jobs which he said might Cut the City workforce to 7,500 jobs from 10,000. The competitive Model he said will ultimately save jobs because the alternative would be to Lay off workers. He added any Job losses in his plan would be achieved through attrition and Early retirement packages. Paul moist president of the Canadian Union of employees local 5 which represents about 5,000 civic workers said Kaufmann is mistaken if he thinks he can slash the workforce in five years without affecting essential services and the Quality of work. Moist branded Kaufmannn a work reduction plan a a desperate Stab in the Kaufmann identified the City a Library system As a non essential service that could be turned Over to the Winnipeg Library foundation. And if that does no to work he said he might ask the province to let the City introduce a $5 fee for Library cards. The intended pure o be of user fees is to offer citizens greater Freedom and control Over the services and the level of services they wish to pay the province has repeatedly denied the request o ver the last several years. He said he favoured user fees for garbage pickup saying it would encourage recycling and Reward people who done to generate a lot of waste. If such a fee was introduced a corresponding reduction in property taxes would be applied Kaufmann said. Noting that user fees already exist for swimming pools transit and other services Kaufmann said the expansion of the practice should not be seen As Radical. A the intended purpose of user fees a he said a is to offer citizens greater Freedom and control Over the services and the level of services they wish to pay , meanwhile said Kaufmannn a economic platform was highly speculative and hinged on draconian measures that would Lead to labour disputes and a reduction in the Quality of services. Murray also accused his opponent of inventing a Selling Price for Winnipeg Hydro but Kaufmann said the Cala Dation was based a on a reasonable and conservative a trying to co opt our agendas continued from a1 Joan Grant Cummings president of the National action committee on the status of women and one of the sum a it organizers said Axworthy a department also demanded they not promote it As an anti spec event. A they were trying to co opt our Agenda a she said. A and it was an attempt to shut Down our ability to As prime minister Jean Chretien and a worthy have faced a firestorm of opposition attacks Over the police crackdown on spec protesters they have both turned to the Peoples Summit. A we provided financial assistance to bring protesters to the parallel sum Mit in Vancouver a Chretien claimed while under fire in the commons on Ali essay. A i think we have gone further than anyone in issuing an invitation to these people and pay ing their expenses so that they could come and Axworthy also told the commons on tuesday the government provided a substantial financial support to the Peoples Summit so that All kinds of groups could voice their concerns about spec. Nip foreign affairs critic Svend Robinson said. A worthy a refusal to fund the travel of foreign dissidents fits with Canadas commitment that former indonesian president Suharto would not have to face protests. A this just reconfirms our concern that this was All stage managed to minimize embarrassment to the Liberal government a Robinson said. A foreign affairs memo dated july 30, 1997 warned Suharto would Boycott the Summit if a agitation of these protest groups could not be controlled and the dignity of the president was Axworthy was not available for comment yesterday. But his spokeswoman Deb Brown said the level of support Given to the Peoples Summit and the conditions set were entirely Homegrown decisions. A your decisions were not in fenced by any other government or their concerns about the Peoples Summit a Brown said. He a been hit by a truck. Sufferer ers Are typically bed Ridden for Between three to seven Days with High fever muscle aches headaches and coughs. Aoki added the drug is not a cure but a treatment. A i think the flu will always be with us a he said. A but it moves the potential to treat people with drugs w a test political principal says continued from ,a1 his students also scored a division High 75.5 per cent when the results of additional questions considered beyond the Grade 3 level were included. Davies said fort Rouge had an especially Bright group of students last year whose results we re enhanced by Good instruction. The inner City school enjoys a family atmosphere where everyone knows everyone else which encourages learning he said. Davies wants to give the schoors parents a broader coot ext for the scores. A a in a concerned about comparisons of schools and comparisons of kids without a real solid foundation. Its unfortunate educators Arentt doing a better Job of communicating the limitations of this exam which Are politically Grade 3 scores in Winnipeg one were As Low As 26.8 per cent and the divisions 53.2 per cent average in the English test was Well below the provincial average of 60.7 per cent. French immersion and Milieu Grade 3 students had a 55.7 per cent average closer to the provincial Mark of 58 per cent. But Davies said results will vary widely because of language socioeconomic conditions and the inner City problems of mobility literacy Levels and family breakups. Trustees were bitterly divided Over the Marks Public even though the province will soon do so. Lori Johnson urged the Board to consider the negative ramifications for some students and parents. But Luba Fedorkiw argued that the tests Are a an indication of sch ool ,ance.�?� a i done to to link the purpose is to Grade the schools.
