Photo by Angie Saunders Scientists find world sea level is rising, maybe Earth is warming By Pippa B. Wysong The level of the oceans is rising slowly but surely, according to research done by two University of Toronto researchers. The study may provide new evidence that the earth is getting warmer because of the greenhouse effect. While it does not prove that the greenhouse warming effect is occurring, this is a "plausible hypothesis," says professor W.R. Peltier of U of T's physics depart- ment. By analysing data from a world- wide network of measuring devices called tide gauges, Peltier and graduate student Mark Tushingham have determined that the oceans are rising at a rate of about 2.4 millimetres a year. Peltier says there are more than 1,000 such gauges, which he likens to metre sticks, all over the world; some have been in place for a cen- & ROYAL LePAGE = FoR Pas Amember of the [TRILON] group. 5011.

Scientists check the gauges periodically to see how much sea levels change over time. Peltier says that gauges in one part of the world may have readings quite different from those in other parts of the world; as a result, trying to calculate global- scale changes in sea levels can be quite difficult. Peltier and Tushingham have found a way to work around these variations. The differences in the gauge measurements in different: parts of the world "are associated with changes in the earth's shape," Peltier says. He says that the earth is undergoing changes now that were set in motion by the last ice age 18,000 years ago. At that time, Canada and North- western Europe were covered by large ice sheets. "The melting of those ice sheets caused a marked FOR SALE deformation in the shape of the earth," says Peltier. Since then, the planet has been adjusting its shape in response to those changes, and these shifts ac- count for many of the regional variations in tide gauge readings. "There are many parts of the world (such as) Florida which are quite close to the mean sea level. Relatively minor increases of sea level ... can cause quite a deal of damage,"' says Peltier. "Even a rise of sea level of one metre would be disastrous," he' says. With a higher sea level, storm! surges--massive floods driven inland by storm winds--would! become more of a problem. Peltier! cites Bangladesh as an example of a region that has suffered much damage from storm surges. The research was supported by the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council. (Canadian Science News) ' Cooking Course Grads By Angie Saunders The News A commercial cooking course taught by Mary Burnett held its wind-up on Wednesday, May 9th at Serendipity Gardens in Rossport. Community Futures accessed funding for the course from the federal government through the direct purchase of training option. The funding was directed through North Shore Training Program Incorporated, who assessed the training needs in this area. The North Shore Training Program got the course running and organized in cooperation with Lakehead College campus in Marathon. The Marathon campus offered the course in Rossport and hired Mary Burnett to teach. The ten women taking the course have gotten together 27 nights in all, since it began in February. They worked about three hours a night, two nights a week. The wind-up meal was a huge delicious success. It began with canapes which were served by some of the lady students taking the course. Homemade thousand island dressing covered the light salad that was served before the main course. A choice of lake trout or poached chicken supreme was offered and was served with rice pilaf, mushroom stuffed toma- toes, and broccoli and cauliflower au gratin. The dessert was a choice of strawberry shortcake or creme caramel (custard with sweet sauce). After dinner Dave Zub, of Confederation College in Marathon, told all the guests and students, "Mary did a very good job and everything was handled well. The students here show the most amount of growth in the area (North shore) and 100% passed. Marilyn Murphy, of North shore of Superior Training Programs Incorporated stated, " I am pleased with the co-operative effort. A high level of skill has come from the course." The ten women who graduated the course are: Paulette Garneau, Carole Ferland, Joann Bouvier, Patricia Senior, Nancy Baxter, Marilyn Goodmurphy, Mireille Clark, Alice Scott, Pat McIntyre, and Paula Dodd.
