NC)-Scientists from Russia, Ukraine and France have discovered natural substance in fungi and the nhard skins of insects and crustacea that can extract heavy metals, particularly radioactive substances, from liquid radioactive waste. Russian scientists, with the help of their counterparts at Cogema, a French-based uranium producer, are experirnenting witli these chitin.s to treat sîmulated liquid radioactive waste. Bennardo, found guilty! The trial is aven. Alneady thene is talk of appeaiing. During the entire trial 1 made an effort ta not jump on the media bandwagon. Bernardo did flot deserve the attention. He deserved aur anger, aur disgust. But in fair- ness te aur justice system I1 did flot want ta find him guilty in print befare the conclusion of the trail, And in my heart I know 1 would have had great difficuity in even touching on the topic without my fury directing my pen. This trial bas been a new cbap- ter in fear. Sevenal years ago wben the Scarboro rapist was in the news my daugbter was a student at the University of Taranto. Nellie iived on campus; I lived in fear. 1 war- ried about those, trips at night te and tram the library or gym on campus. There would be many occasions when she wouid be, alane. Immediateiy I purchased one of those personal safety devices, a rape alarm, and told Nellie ta take it with hen eveny- where, From the Urne we are young it is hounded into aur heads that we do flot talk ta stangers. We are taught ta neyer go anywhere with strangens. The fear is instilled at an early age for the child's safety. When I was a chiid strange "men" were the enemy. They wene ta be avoided at all costs. My gen- enation realized that sick and per- vented men often preyed on smali children and women. They spe- cialized in abusing thase wbo were weaker and helpless. They ted on their need for contrai and power, and iaoked for someone ta vent their anger and perversions on. Yes, this was a fact of life wben I was grawing up. ,Over the years, howeven, the number of hornon stonies of napes, abductions ad -the finding dead bod- ies escalated. Our fears increased. It is this one horrific case that bas really opened aur eyes ta the extent ot evil othens are truly capa- ble of committing ta tulfill their fantasies. Most of it is document- ed on videa. And Bernarda still professes innocence! In my eyes, from the moment Karla and Bernardo abducted those poar young girls they were both equally guilty of the autcome. Perhaps ini tue technical sense only one did the actuai murdering. But morally bath are guilty. The part that makes aIl ot this worse - as if it can get ariy worse - is the evil and perversions that have came forth tramn a woman. When I was growing up mom always said to ask a woman for help if I was in trouble. Did Kristen and Leslie ask Karla for help? Did they beg that woman for mercy? And did Karla just laugh and enjoy her own power trip on this spine chilling chapter of crueity. In a few years Karla wil bce eh- gible for parole. According ta our justice systemn she wil have done the time ta fit the crime. And pigs fly! We have always know that men and wamen are capable of some heinous crimes. But the terrible things those two girls went through before being murdered are aniy empbasized by the fact that a woman, supposedly one of dhe gen- der sex, played a very major raie. Karla even caused the death of ber own sister following a session of rape which Karla was also a part of. I now have a beautiful five month old gnanddaughter. What do we tell her, "stay away fnom everyone?" I{ow do we protect aur chîldren fnom such evil? My ending was gaing ta ask God for mercy an Bernarda and Karla's souls. They did flot offer their victims any mercy. In al good conscience I can flot even ask God for mercy for thein souls ... only justice.
