EVERYONE WELCOME
Michigan’s worst toxic waste
dump.
“I don’t like it, but given the
choice of course I’m going to
go,” said Verna Courtemanche,
who can see the dump from her
kitchen window. “I don’t want to
be here when they dig up that
stuff.”
“That stuff’ is 8,500 cubic
yards of sludge containing the
pesticide C-56, cyanide, hyd
rochloric acid and other chemic
als, which will be dug up and
moved to safe storage at a dump
near Cincinnati.
The families ordered out of
their homes live within 3,100
feet of the Berlin 8c Farro dump
a few miles west of Flint.
Officials said the evacuation,
which will last up to three weeks,
is a precaution in case removal
work mixes cyanide and hyd
rochloric acid to form a poten
tially deadly gas.
Residents were to report to
the town hall Wednesday to pick
up checks covering expenses of
the first days of their evacuation,
which is expected to cost the
state $150,000.

LOS ANGELES — Resear
chers say a blood-cell condition
found among some homosexual
men may be the first stage in
developing the often-fatal ac
quired immune deficiency syn
drome (AIDS) — a discovery
that could lead to preventive
treatment.
Dr. Roger Detels of UCLA
said Tuesday if the alteration in
blood-cell ratio — called au
gmentation — indicates the
onset of AIDS, it provides us
with a marker we could use for
screening individuals who are a
particularly high risk to develop
AIDS and to advise them and
develop means of protecting
them from going from augmen
tation to AIDS.
AIDS — which has stricken
more than 1,300 Haitians,
homosexual men, hemophiliacs
and drug addicts — is the
occurrence of illness associated
with a unique crippling of the

.jazzercise
Jazzercise is a unique ap
proach to body conditioning using
joyful jazz dance movements and
swinging music. It’s your chance
for a wild and woolly work-out that
will condition you totally and lift
your spints. By bouncing to a
“boogie beat” in a planned way,
you’ll dance inches away and
your body will be more flexible
than you ever dreamed possible.
Underneath the fun and
the point of a Jazzercise class is
cardiovascular, muscular,
metabolic, and emotional im
provement. Balance, coordina
tion, flexibility, muscle tone,
stamina, and posture are the
areas on which Jazzercise con
centrates. There’s 50 minutes ol
bending, stretching, jumping and
dancing, built around warm-up,
peak-work, and cook
