APR Zj 1993 (5 TUESDAY, APRIL 27, 1993Ss-' I 4C ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH Miniature World Has Delaware Educators Thinking Small 1993, Knight-Ridder Newspapers WASHINGTON Walter Adey has dominion over the tides and wind and rain. He decides when the sun will rise and set, whether the days will be cool or hot, and when a storm will blow through and send the hermit crabs scurrying for cover beneath the sandy banks of the bay. In the basement of the Smithsonian Institution, Adey has created one of the world's largest and most elaborate models of an ecosystem, complete with winds, tides, sunshine, salt marshes and more than 400 species of plants and animals. The model is 480 square feet, contains 15,000 gallons of water and is so realistic that the blue crabs actually migrate from salt water to fresh water as the seasons change.

But Adey must soon give up dominion over his miniature world. The Smithsonian lacks the money to run it any more. To keep it going, Adey has promised to give his ecological Noah's Ark to a group of educators in Newark, who want to use it as a teaching tool. But there's a catch. As of last week, the teachers were $20,000 short of the money they need to move the complex system to Delaware and build a greenhouse to contain it.

They have raised about $50,000 since last summer and are seeking support from individuals, schools and corporations in raising the rest. They hope to use the model to teach high school students from Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland how Delaware Bay works. They also hope to conduct ecological experiments with it. "This is a phenomenal opportunity for us and students in the Delaware Valley," said Paul Devine, a teacher at Glascow High School who is spearheading the project. "We have the chance to be truly at the cutting edge." Adey, a Smithsonian ecologist, is a pioneer in a field known as synthetic ecology or microcosmology.

He has created three of the world's largest working models of ecosystems: One is a model of the Everglades housed in a greenhouse in Washington. The second is a model of the Great Barrier Reef, in Townsville, Australia. The third is the model of a mid-Atlantic bay, housed in the Marine Systems Laboratory at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. The system is modeled after the 180-mile-long Chesapeake Bay. It consists of eight interconnected Fiberglas tanks.

Each tank varies in salinity from fresh water at one end of the system to salt water at the other. Each tank is connected to the next by a circular valve. A computer controls the saltiness of the water in each; the valves allow fish, crabs and ma rine life to migrate just as they do in the Chesapeake. But the $400,000 model more closely resembles the Delaware Bay than the Chesapeake, Adey said. That's because fresh water flows into the model from a single source a half-inch diameter hose much as the Delaware River is the primary source of fresh water entering the Delaware Bay.

(The Chesapeake is fed by several rivers, including the James, Potomac and Susquehanna.) A computer determines when 128 fluorescent lights and 24 thousand-watt metal-halide lamps illuminate the system. By regulating when they go on and off, Adey simulates the changing of the seasons. A "dump bucket" simulates waves. Pumps create 6-inch tides. Fans produce winds.

Heaters and air conditioners control the temperature of the air and water. The model in the Smithsonian's basement contains about 100 species of plants (including goldenrod and -honeysuckle), 100 species of algae and about 200 species of animals (including oysters, snails, mussels, blue-gill and killifish). He has also had frogs and turtles, but the system is too small to support birds and mammals.

Russians Go Great Lengths To Learn Police Work Toronto Hospitals Plan Border Raid will be, but people in my country are very tired of high prices, instability and crime." As part of their American training they have observed how police work in a number of small and large Kansas towns, with Fedorov recently helping one officer investigate an armed robbery in Topeka. Larry Welch, director of the training center, said his students have "the same concerns as any Kansas police officer a lack of manpower and equipment and a need for new laws to effectively fight crime. What we've learned here is that police work is universal." police officers from the former Soviet Union to study criminology in the Midwest, although other groups have studied on the East Coast. Zharinov said the primary difference between Russian training and the training he has been getting in the United States is money. Although class size and basic police studies are the same, there is also a greater emphasis in the United States on how to use police cars, which are not as plentiful back home, he said.

"I want to learn everything I can," Fedorov said. "Maybe it's too early to know what all the benefits of this visit gative techniques to how to use U.S. firearms. Russian experts say property crimes in that country have increased by as much as 250 percent since 1985. All crimes are up an estimated 60 percent, and the officers estimated property crime in one residential area of St.

Petersburg with about 60,000 people was about 300 cases a month. Police officers from the St. Petersburg force attending the course are captains Gennady Nadezhkin and Vladimir Zharinov, Maj. Sergei Fedorov, and Lt. Majors Svetlana Golubeva and Elena Levanenko.

They are the first 1993, Reuters News Service HUTCHINSON, Kan. At an abandoned air base in the wheat fields of Kansas, five Russian police officers are learning the finer points of being cops, American style. They are studying with American police units at the University of Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center near Hutchinson. They say the explosive growth of crime in Russia brought them halfway around the world to learn how to combat problems at home. Until their graduation April 30, they are studying everything from investi FUNERAL NOTICES SIMMS, FRIEDA, born May 25, 1897, beloved mother of the late Bernice Horwitz, survived by her daughter and son-in-law Marvin and Evelyn Oleon of Los Angeles, grandchildren; Cathy Oleon, Patty MacDonald and David Horwitz and her great-grandchildren; Tyler and Spencer Mac-Donald of Los Angeles and Aaron Zachary and Rachel Horwitz of St.

High-quality surgery at low cost. Why pay more in Toledo when you can get it for less in Toronto? Toronto Hospital, the largest acute-care facility in Canada, and the Hospital for Sick Children, one of the best pediatric centers in the country, will begin marketing their services south of the border in coming months.

Dozens of other institutions may follow. The plan's proponents say it will bring badly needed millions into hospitals chronically short of funds. Others feel it will mean poorer service for Canadians in favor of rich Americans. The Ontario government, for the moment, seems to be sitting on the fence, although Health Minister Ruth Grier says she does not support aggressive marketing of services outside the province. Nonetheless, the province has looked at the issue.

A government study shows Ontario hospitals could make more than $80 million U.S. and create 645 jobs by serving Americans. Dr. Alan Hudson, president of Toronto Hospital, explains the plan this way: All Ontario hospitals have excess capacity, beds closed because of funding cutbacks. By bringing in patients and money from outside, hospitals will be able to open more beds, hire back staff and, as a result, shorten waiting lists for Canadians.

Up for sale will be such hightech services as bone marrow transplants at $80,000 each, brain tumor surgery, head and neck surgery and complicated cataract surgery. "If I do a brain tumor here, the fee for the service is about 1,200 dollars Canadian that's less than $1,000 U.S.," said Hudson, a neurosurgeon. "Now you phone a surgeon in New York City and ask what he's charging. A lot of them are charging $5,000 to $6,000. And that's just the doctor, not the hospital." The Canadian hospitals won't be luring individual patients but will attempt to sell services to the insurance companies, preferred provider organizations and health maintenance organizations.

A salesman has been hired jointly by the two hospitals. Dr. Philip Berger, a family practitioner and activist who led a fight last year against higher doctors' fees, says hospitals are not private institutions and should not be allowed to use public funds to generate profits. "And I don't believe them when they say access for Canadians will be unaffected," Berger said. But money is a problem throughout the system.

The new provincial budget is expected to contain deep cuts in the health care program, the single largest budget item, and hospitals will be squeezed once again. "Our whole game is cost control, the American game is revenue generation," said Hudson. "We are now just joining in in a small way to try to increase our revenues, which in the States would be seen as normal business. "There are things we do very well in this country. One of them is health.

Our administrative costs are so much better than in the United States that we are much more competitive." Americans with litigious inclinations might want to think twice, however. Million-dollar malpractice suits are unheard-of in Canada. The Supreme Court has set a limit on general damages at $225,000 U.S., and punitive damage awards are paltry.

KUTIS AFFTON SER- L. VICE. TO By Victor Volland Of the Post-Dispatch Staff The International Student Exchange of Iowa, based in St. Charles, is looking for host families for 30 high school students from 15 former Soviet states coming to the St. Louis area next school year.

The English-speaking students are coming under a new U.S. Information Agency program to expose young people from the old Iron Curtain countries to life and learning in the largest western democracy. Altogether, about 1,200 students will come to the United States late this summer under the program, which Congress authorized in the Freedom Support Act of 1992. Lina Takacs, co-director of the St. Charles exchange group, said the 30 students would live and go to school within a radius of 50 to 60 miles from St.

Louis and would meet together periodically to tour St. Louis-area points of interest. The students are from breakaway former Soviet republics such as Latvia and Belarus as well as from Russia and other members of the Commonwealth of Independent States. The 30 will be handled separately from the 236 exchange students from 12 European and Latin American countries that the non-profit International Student Exchange also will be placing in this area in the 1993-94 school year, Takacs said. Takacs said all students placed by the agency are fluent in English and have their own financial resources, including full medical and liability insurance and even their own pocket money.

"All that the host families are asked to provide are room and board and some love and care," she said. Interested families are asked to call the agency at 926-0495 or 926-0916, or (800) 356-9365.
