An oval's best but Dugre does By CLAUDIA BOWERS SHERBROOKE — The indoor ice of the Ivan Dugre Arena is a poor substi tute for the smooth curves and natural lighting of the 40-metre racing ovals international-calibre speed skaters need to build up endurance, experience and confidence Yet Canada's national team member Sylvie Daigle, at 17, already a veteran of the Lake Placid W'inter Olympics, spends up to 30 hours a week at the arena, 12 months a year, putting in the time needed to produce a world-class athlete, undaunted by the lack of facili ties.Back from the Olympics or not, there's no time to lose for next year, and this season Sylvie has company in Patricia Boisvert and Jacques Breault.two national team hopefuls And Patricia is lucky to have more than just the hopes of the community riding on her — fellow Lennoxville residents have dug into their pockets to help her on her way.Lately speed skating has held a prom inent place in the news coming from Lake Placid as Canada pinned her hopes on Gaétan Boucher and Sylvie Daigle ‘ But, we are seriously hampered by the lack of facilities in Canada.” says national skating team coach Jack Walters.“Canada does not have one 40-metre oval anywhere, and our skaters are forced to train up to five months of the year away from home ’’ According to Walters, this situation is the greatest factor holding back the Canadian Olympic Speed Skating team ‘These kids must live out of a suitcase for nearly half a year," he added This means they must leave home and school, and undergo the trauma of ad-ustment to live in another country, in this case, the USA or Germany where outdoor ovals are available.Patricia Boisvert, a slim 5’ 7” fifteen-year-old, already has won several gold medals in speed skating meets around the province this year.She recently travelled to Winnipeg, and although one skate was left behind and she raced on a borrowed pair, Patricia was able to come up with a silver medal in her class.“Travelling to all the meets one must attend to prove a talent can be very expensive and so we approached the Lennoxville Optimist Club for help to meet our expenses," she explained The Len noxville club proudly presented Patri cia with the required amount and another Canadian athlete was officially launched against the best Canada had to offer.“Our biggest problem training on indoor ice,” explained Breault, "is the complete difference in training and racing The two are like night and day, making it very difficult for the speed skater who trains indoors to compete outdoors According to Breault, the first problem comes with the fact the racers skate in a group, are allowed to switch lanes and the danger is heightened when one racer follows another so closely their bodies seem to touch "This is a practice all racers use to take advantage of the vacuum being created by the skater in front He is breaking the wind and at 25 to 28 miles per hour, that can make quite a difference."

Breault added, "skaters reach a speed of 32 miles per hour and are skating alone, you might as well say, as only two compete at one time They change lanes only at the crossover and because of the size

Other residents have been sent to job training centres Grit studies attack base of PQ MONTREAL (CP) Quebec liberals launched a counter-offensive against Ihe economic foundations of sovereignty-associai ion Monday, releasing four studies attacking the basic assumptions of the Parti Que beeois plan.The PQ wants political independence coupled with an economic common market with English Canada Hut the Liberals dispute that notion, arguing the following points —Quebec currently gets more from the federal government than it pays in taxw $7 billion more during the years 1972 to 1977, say the Liberals This claim is part of a long-running debate in which each side cites its own figures, with the PQ claiming Quebec has !>een a financial loser from Con federation in the long run —Relations with the rest of Canada under sovereignty-association would he no closer than those that currently exist between Canada and the United States —Free circulation of goods between Quebec and English Canada, a prin ci pie affirmed by the PQ in its sovereignty-association white paper, could be interfered wilh in many ways by the Quebec government —The PQ principle of free movement of persons would apply only to tourists p^nctii'e —The principle of free circulation of capital would be subject to so much regulation it would disappear —The proposed monetary union would bo considered an insuit to the intelligence if another country offered it to Quebec the way Quebec has offered it to Canada.The Liberals are considering the possibility of launching a legal challenge to the question that will be asked in this spring's referendum on sovereignty association Although the Liberals may only use •he threat of legal action as a way of trying to force the Levesque govern ment to modify the form of the question, party leader Claude Ryan has asked five lawyers to provide opinions Senator Edward Kennedy of Massachusetts and one for California Go* Jerry Brown The re* ised total

president staved in Washington and let his wife Rosalynn and Vice President Walter Mondale spread the word that he cannot cam paign until the V S hostages are freed from Iran Frustrated by Carter’s refusal to debate him publicly, stjll suffering from lingering public doubts about Chappiquidick, Kennedy has found it hard to make inroads against a patri ‘die fervor Ihat lias Americans rallying to then president CLAUDE RYAN .considering legal action on whether the question is legal riirec of the legal opinions have already been received by Ryan, but he said in an interview Monday evening that he lias not had time to read them as yet Asked whether the party will challenge the quest ions legality, Ryan replied I have nothing to say about that this evening " Although Ryan is holding his cards close to his chest on the delicate question of a legal challenge, a leading constitutional specialist in his party says the question is definitely illegal and provides an inviting target to any citizen who wants to challenge it Herbert Marx, elected in a November byeloction in the Montreal riding of D’ArcyMcGee, said in an interview Monday that "a lot of people have tieen calling me recently who are concerned about the legality of the question They have been asking me if we will challenge it," said Marx, who taught constitutional law for 10 years at the University of Montreal before moving into politics Levesque attacks federal runaround LONGUEUIL, Que (CP) Premier Rene Levesque denounced the "galloping inefficiency" of federalism Monday, as he made a pitch for Queb€*cers to vote yes in the spring referendum The premier said that the federal deficit in Canada, with its 23 million people, is roughly equal to the deficit of the United States, a country with 10 times the population A yes vote would get Quebec out of the federal system and “break for once the 500 federal provincial committees” that are an offshoot of "one of the most deficient of public administrations ” The premier, during a referendum campaign swing on the south shore of the St Lawrence River near Montreal, said Quebecers should stand together to oppose the “common front of Interests against us " Marcel Robidas.mayor of Longueuil, and the mayors of the industrial centres of Sorel and Tracy declared at public meetings with the premier they would vote yes Outside the Longueuil city hall Levesque was met by placard-carrying members of the Confederation of National Trade Unions who worked at NDP pushes rep by pop vote nTTAWA rtv L'*4 D-_it_*_ " ¦ U the Bohn Heat Transfer Division of the l S.Gulf and Western conglomerate A young stamp collector called the premier on an openline radio program Monday to ask whether a sovereign Quebec would have its own postage stamps Levesque, in Sorel to campaign for a yes vote in Quebec's spring referendum on sovereignty-association, told the caller he collected stamps himself as a boy and threw the question back to him W’hat do you think'’” the premier asked, saying that the existing postal system of Canada is a "pack of trouble " I he boy didn I have an answer and neither did Levesque, who said only Ihat the post office could be a joint Quebec-Canada opertion Most callers to Ihe radio station CJSO program said they planned to vote yes in the referendum, and the premier made his usual pitch for "a minimum of solidarity by Quebecers of all political persuasions He told a caller that polls show the yes vote is "neck-and neck" with the no vote, but he is sure that the yes forces are further ahead V./- Quebec,.When it's bad, it's good.MONTREAL KT’) Franco phones have a better chance of seeing their proportion of the Quebec population increase when Ihe economy is bad than when it is good, says University of Montreal demographer Jacques Henripin Ills views are contained in a study performed for the Quebec Liberal party, one of four released Monday to dispute the economic claims of the Parti Québécois government's white paper on sovereignty-association "Francophones have more chance of maintaining and increasing their relative importance if economic conditions are bad," he said "It s nothing to rejoice about, but that seems to be the way it is." Current patterns of migration have done most damage to Quebec’s English community, said Henripin, adding thal if today's trends con tinue, the anglophone population could dwindle from 14 7 per cent in 1978 to less than 10 per cent in the year 2000 OTTAWA i CP i Ed Broadbent says it's time Parliament adopted a form of proportional representation to ensure the major parties get at least some MPs from all regions of the country The New Democratic Party leader said Monday 50 additional MPs should be sent to Parliament 10 from each of the five regions of the country Each party would receive a share of the 10 seals in proportion to the popular vote it received in the region The system would give the Liberals representatives in the West where they badly need them would give the Progressive Conservatives and NDP more seats in Liberal-held Quebec, and give the NDP some seats in Atlantic Canada, where they were shut out last Monday It would increase the number of seat* in the Commons to 332 from 282 Broadbent told reporters at a news conference that prime minister designate Pierre Trudeau "was quite sympathetic to the idea during a meeting Friday Joe Clark, with whom he spoke by telephone, had rejected it A Trudeau spokesman said the prime minister designate had found the proposal interesting, but had no in tendon of moving quickly on any specific proposal He denied a report

In situations like yours, where there are différences in income earned, there are ad vantages to having the spouse with the higher income contn bute to the RRSP ot the spouse with the lower income.One of the main advantages is that on maturity, retirement income received from an RRSP is tax able in the hands oi the plan owner.In your case, if you split that taxable income between you and your wife, you can both benefit from the $1,000 annual exemption for retirement annuity payments.You may also gain from lower tax rates that you ear h pay on the retirement income.So, all in all, your combined after tax income when you're retired can be boosted signific antly.A few things to note, though, before proceeding.First, remember that the sum of the contributions you’re making must not amount to more than your personal maximum.Secondly, bear in mind th.it if you or your wife want to de-register the plan for anything other than the pure hase of a retirement income annuity, the withdrawals will be applied to t/iini imoim- ami taxed at i ordingly (to the extent of your i unitibutions in the year of vvithdi avv.il and the two pre iceding years).Thirdly, it goes without saying, that any money you eontribule to your wife's RRSP then belongs by law to your wile.I ai h i ouple's i in um stances aie, ol course, different.At Montreal I r ust we ll be pleased to explain how a spousal RRSP can be set up to meet your particular situation.RRSP maximum contributions "What's the maximum I can contribute to an RRSP in any one year?" You don't say if you contribute to a company pension plan or not.It you do, your contribution to your own RRSP, plus your personal contribution to your company pension plan, together may not exceed $3,500 or 20% of your earned income, whichever is the lesser.If you don't belong to any company pension plan (and/or a Deferred Profit Sharing Plan ), you may deposit up to $5,500 or 20% of your earned me orne, whichever is the lesser.If you have any questions about our services, write, call, or come in and see us at the address below.Montreal Trust Well worth talking to.2524 King St.West Sherbrooke, Québec, JlJ 2E8 Telephone: 565-1933 "Branches Coast to Coast" ! 8 TUES., EE B.26, 1980 —_____thl| itccara UCW meetings around the Eastern Townships WATERLOO St Paul’s United Church Women met on Feb 14, at the home of Mrs.Joan Norris.The President, Mrs Myrtle Wilkinson welcomed everyone and called the meeting to order with all repeating the U.C.W.purpose Mrs.Doris McGovern was in charge of devotions which was a reading entitled “Grandmother's Picture Window” followed by prayer.The minutes of the previous meeting and of an executive meet ing were read by the secretary, Mrs.Betty Black Fourteen members answered the roll call and there was one guest.A thank you note was read for our having been hostesses for the January event.The treasurer ’s report was given by Mrs Barbara Johnston and a motion made for bills to be paid.Three cards were passed around to be signed and sent to shut- las Mrs Ellen Lightfoot reporter! from the Official Board that a Pancake Supper is to be held at a later date and that an Easter Sunrise Service will be held at the Golf Club on April fi Several members paid their dues.Mrs B Cochrane reported on the Live Love projects and our selections were made There was a discussion concerning recycling of various articles and it was decided to collect bread tags, pill bottles, used postage stamps and metric labels.A report of the last card party was given and two more will be held One at 1:30 p.m.on Feb 27 and another at 8:00 p.m on March 14 The expressed thanks who helped at the event and Mrs McFarlane gave report A motion was made to give an amount of money to the Official Board The World Day of Prayer president to those January Dorothy a short Jacoby's bridge NORTH 2 2«8fl 4 K 9 8 2 4Q1072 4 J 10 4 J 4 2 WEST EAST ?QJ10754 43 YA 8 5 4 3 YKJ96 ?K ?9 7 4 2 ?6 497 5 3 SOUTH 4 A 6 V 4 AQ 8 6 5 3 4AKQ10H Vulnerable: North-South Dealer: South West North East South 1 4 34 Dbl Pass 4 4 Pass 5 4 Pass 6 ?Pass Pass Pass Opening lead:4 Q By Oswald Jacoby and Alan Sontag One of the really fascinating things about bridge is that the worst overbidders are frequently the worst players The correct policy is that if you want to overbid you should play well enough to make up for the overbidding.South let the spade lead ride to his ace and promptly cashed the ace and king ot trumps.Then he stopped to think before leading a third trump to dummy's jack Next came a losing diamond finesse Now West played his ace of hearts South ruffed and played his ace of diamonds.West showed out and the hand had collapsed.When South recovered from the wreck he had gone down three.“Played like a plumber," chortled North."The hand was a lay down after the spade lead " North was right After the spade lead, South should have made his contract and still lost the diamond finesse All South had to do was to play safe He should wm the spade in dummy and draw four rounds of trumps Then he could lead a low diamond It wouldn’t matter who held the diamond king as long as all five weren't in the same hand.South would have the fifth trump to ruff with and the ace of spades to get to his hand to run diamonds after cashing dummy’s diamond jack.(NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.)

Canadian skaters all seemed to get off on the wrong foot Brian Pockar of Calgary and Heather Kemkaran of Toronto had troubles in the compulsory figures in the singles Wighton and Dowding were marked down in the compulsory dances The pair of Barbara Underhill of Oshawa, Ont., and Paul Martini of Woodbridge, Ont., had problems with their 1 *.» ¦ 'Â*.V • .'VJA ; short program HAD BAD DRAWS Poor marks early in inter national competition leads to bad draws for skating in the longer programs and skaters are often marked down in the early groups so that judges have room for higher marks for the top skaters.Kemkaran, 21, was 16th after the figures in the women’s singles, moved up to 14th with a solid short program, but dropped to 15th with only an average per formance Saturday night in the four-minute long program Anett Poetzsch of Fast Germany won the gold medal on the strength of her lead built up in the figures Linda Fratianne of the U S.got the silver after getting top marks in the short program and Dagmar Lurz of West Germany got the bronze with a solid performance in all phases of the event.The best woman free skater was Denise Biellcmann of Switzerland.She earned a standing ovation from the pro-American crowd of 8,500 with a stirring demonstration of technical skating and artisitic impression.Biellemann finished fourth, however, because like the Canadians, she got off to a horrid start by placing 12th in the figures "Our skaters have to skate our school figures much faster,” said Graham.“That way they won’t wobble so much and create a much better impression with the judges FOLD UNDER PRESSURE "We have to start skating our figures like we do in practice or we re not going to be in the top half of the field.We seem to practice reasonably, but then the pressure of competition does something to our skaters,’’ Pockar.20, finished 12th in a 17-skater field, although the ranks shrank by one after Vladimir Kovalev of the Soviet Union dropped out after figures because of illness.Pockar plans to continue skating with hopes of going to the next Olympics in four years at Sarajevo, Yugoslavia He was 13th in the world championships in 1979.Underhill, 16, and Martini, 19, finished ninth in the highly-competitive pairs.There were 12 couples at the start but only 11 finished when Americans Tai Babilonia and Randy Gardner dropped out before the short pi ogram because of an injury to Gardner.Underhill and Martini were 11th in the 1979 world championships and will face a difficult task in maintaining their position at the 1980 worlds in Dortmund, W^est Germany, beginning March 11.because there will be at least 18 pairs there.R.R.S.P.TIME!!!

and as much as eight inches elsewhere - finally allowed Marathon called off Despite improved snow conditions in the area, the Grand Fond de I'Estrie ski marathon, originally scheduled for February 10 and postponed to March 2, has been cancelled outright.The Megantic area has received even less snow than the Sherbrooke-west Tow nships region and organizers had no choice but to cancel the second annual running of the 46-mile marathon.the centre to open.Until now, only three area mountains had been able to open this season.Rromont, Sutton and Jay Peak, largely thanks to snowmaking on the lower trails.In addition to Glen, Owl's Head and Orford opened some lifts on the weekend Ow l's Head opened the small chairlift and the lake chair last week and even flipped the switch on the main chair.Most trails on the main mountain were open except the steepest pitches, a spokesman said Monday.There’s been plenty of snow on the top of the mountain but minimal coverage at lower altitudes prevented them from opening until last week.At Orford, general manager Fraser Adams said the Massif-nord chairlift and two T-bars operated Saturday and Sunday.About 600 skiers showed up Sunday and lift lines actually got as long as five minutes.The baby lift was also in operation.The snow was ot the sticky variety and held well to the trails, Adams said “Powder-makers” the roller-chain combinations that are dragged behind snow cats -

Glynn did.however, commend Alan MacLachlan of Toronto as the "keenest, most astute person we have out there; he’s young and he’s a keener ” "Keener is a word I heard recently and 1 really like to apply it to A1 .He lias four-year potential (for 1984» That’s why he was on the team this year."
