THE ADVOCATE, Saturday, April 4, 1 987 3A Canada Sikhs jailed 20 years for attack NEW WESTMINSTER, B.C. (CP) Four Sikhs a judge said stalked their victim like hunters in the forest were each sentenced Friday to 20 years in prison for trying to kill a visiting Indian cabinet minister. Jaspal Singh Atwal, 31, Jasbir Singh Atwal, 26 (no relation), Sukhdial Singh Gill, 28, and Amar-jit Singh Dhindsa, 25, committed an act of terrorism in order to advance a cause, Mr. Justice Howard Callaghan said in B.C. Supreme Court.

They were convicted in February of trying to kill Malkiat Singh Sidhu, the Punjab planning minister, on a secluded road near Gold River on Vancouver Island. "It was a cowardly and heinous attack, Callaghan said in prohibiting them from possessing firearms or explosives for an additional 25 years. They had assumed the power of life and death over a visitor to Canadian soil, the judge said. "Every such act can only diminish Canadas image abroad. "Acts of violence of this kind cannot be tolerated on Canadian soil to advance a foreign cause.

Radical Sikhs want a separate state in India for their religious sect. Crown counsel Jim Taylor said the sentencing is a clear message that we dont want that kind of violence to resolve problems that dont occur in Canada. Lawyer David Gibbons, who represented Jaspal Atwal, said the judges comments could form the grounds for an appeal. Party turned tragic Car bomb kills man MONTREAL (CP) A 75-year-old man died Friday when a booby-trapped car turned into a ball of fire in a quiet north-end street. David Stern was alone in his car when he was blasted through the roof, police said.

The cars windshield landed in a nearby tree. Claude Lafleur, who saw the wreck of the driverless car roll through an intersection after the blast said I couldnt believe my eyes. Its a miracle there wasnt any traffic. Perrier said no motive has been established for the death of the retired aluminum siding distributor. NANAIMO, B.C.

(CP) The 15 teenagers were out for a good time, but a pill-pop-ping party Thursday night turned into tragedy. Stephen Morgan, 18, died of cardiac arrest in hospital early Friday after collapsing in his home late Thursday night. His 14 friends all were admitted to hospital, but later released. The teenagers werent even sure what drugs they were taking. As it turned out, one of the two kinds of pills they swallowed was Propaphe-none, an experimental heart drug stolen earlier Thursday during a burglary at a private home.

We all wanted to have a good time, said Doug Lewis, 17, one of the survivors. It turned out to be one hell of a night. Lewis said he and his friends gathered at a house Thursday evening and drugs were passed around. Ken McGarrigle, 17, another survivor, said a person he would not identify distributed orange and white pills. "I started getting cold," said McGarrigle, who said he took about three dozen pills in total.

I could hardly see. I felt really weird. I thought I was going to die.

These benefits include: Less stress and anxiety Clearer thinking, greater intelligence More energy and stamina More happiness and selfesteem Millions of people of all ages and walks of life are already enjoying Transcendental Meditation. Transcendental Meditation is easy to learn and enjoyable to practise. In just a few minutes, TM provides a unique state of deep rest. This deep rest dissolves stress and refreshes the mind and body. Doctors Recommend TM More than 6,000 medical doctors in North America have learned TM.

Many recommend it to their patients as a way to stay healthy and young. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi-Founder of TM Heres what people are saying about Transcendental Meditation age points separated Ontarios Grades 5 and 9 students from the 63 per cent average score of students in western provinces. Grade 13 students scored one percentage point below Grade 12 students in the West. The national study, which tested about 25,000 students in Grades 5, 9 and the final year of high school, consisted of a general science test with sections in biology, chemistry and physics. Grade 5 teachers in Ontario are not as well-trained as their western colleagues, students have fewer laboratory facilities to use and Ontario provides less funding for education, the study found.

This is a wealthy province, yet its expenditure on education is not comparatively high, Connelly said.

HAUCK VISION HEARING CENTRE 491 1 Gaetz Ave. 346-5568 TORONTO (CP) Students in Western Canada are better at science than their counterparts in Ontario, says a study by the Ontario Ministry of Education.

The study, a copy of which was obtained by the Toronto Star, shows that Ontario students in Grades 5, 9 and 13 lagged behind the average score in general sciences for students in western provinces. The Grade 13 score is particularly embarrassing for Ontario since students in all other provinces finish high school at Grade 12. The national science test pitted 18-year-old Ontario students against 17-year-olds in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan and British Columbia. The defeat is even harder to swallow considering that Grade 13 is made up of Ontarios top students while Grade 12 in other provinces is less selective, Michael Connelly, an author of the report, said in an interview Friday with The Star. Any way you look at it, the scores are poor.

The elementary schools in Ontario seem to be the problem, said Connelly, a researcher. A gap of about four percent- TM has given me increased clarity of mind, efficiency and confidence. It has enabled me to be increasingly successful. Ross Mikelson, Physician With TM, I feel more energy, patience and understanding. I am much happier and satisfied in life.
