whopping $10.3 million through a stock option deal approved by the company five months before it was acquired by Petro-Canada.The deal, approved by the company Aug.22, allowed the employees, including 17 company officers, to buy a total of 171,500 common shares at $60 each before November, 1985, Under the terms of the takeover agreement with Petro-Canada, the Crown corporation will purchase those shares for $120 each as they are exercised by the employees, the same share price offered under its successful takeover bid.A $60 profit on each share would total $10.3 million if all were purchased.A Petro-Canada official confirmed the figures Thursday but could not say whether all the shares had been pur chased or if all 91 employees took advantage of the deal.“1 would be surprised if they didn't,” he added.The stock option plan, which went largely unnoticed when details of the acquisition were made public in April, is outlined in the prospectus given to Petrofina shareholders at the meeting in which they approved the takeover.Petro-Canada officials confirmed the figures this week, saying all such plans were taken into account in the final price tag of $1.46 billion because the corporation agreed to honor all Petrofina’s stock option obligations.REGULAR OFFERINGS The officials also said stock options are offered regularly to employees of oil and gas companies and there is nothing particularly suspicious about Petrofina approving one in August.Compensation for making love on the job PONTIAC, Mich.(AP) — Workers' compensation benefits have been awarded to the family of a

federal prosecutors decide how they are to proceed against the 29-year-old suspected bank robber Pruneau, arrested late Wednesday night in tall grass near the CP railyard by Newport municipal police and a CP Rail constable, was arraigned on three charges of armed robbery, each carrying a 15 year maximum sentence Pruneau pleaded not guilty on all counts and chose trial by jury.Bail was set at $150,000.According to State Prosecutor Philip White, discussions are still underway with U S.federal Prosecutor Scott McGee in Burlington as to whether Pruneau will be tried by federal or state court The three charges stem from two incidents.The first, which set off the intensive manhunt Monday night which resulted in Pruneau’s eventual arrest, took place near the CP Rail Massawippi Valley Railway right of way in Derby Line A suspect wearing a green-tinted clear poncho, floppy camouflage hat, blue jeans and a tee-shirt.was halted by Border Patrol Captain Peter Eaton near Sunset Acres on the Beebe Road and asked for identification.Instead, the suspect pulled a chromed 38-calibre snubnose revolver from his belt and ordered Eaton to hand him his service revolver As he fled into the underbrush, the suspect reportedly told Eaton: "When they catch me, remember what I did for you.” The service revolver was later found along the railway right-of way, emptied of live rounds.The two other charges are in connection w’ith a robbery Wednesday afternoon at the Main Street, Newport branch of the Passumpsic Savings Bank.A man between 25 and 30, with a slight Canadian accent, entered the empty bank at about 3:40 p.m and ordered tellers Richard IsabelU md Crystal Boutin to hand over casii la.ei found to have totalled about $7,000.No shots were fired, and before fleeing, the suspect ordered the tellers to lie on the floor for 10 minutes before moving Since the holdup — the first in Passumpsic’s 128-year history, ac cording to Vice President and Manager William Gilding - was committed on two individual tellers, Pruneau could face a maximum of 15 years for each, said Prosecutor White.The federal authorities are interested in the Pruneau case for several reasons, he added - the robbery of a federal Border patrolman, possession of an unregistered handgun, bank robbery (a federal crime in the U S.) illegal entry and his record in Canada Pruneau is currently being sought by Quebec authorities after his latest escape from the Winter Street Jail in Sherbrooke June 4 He had been awaiting sentencing on handgun, robbery and escape charges stemming Is.\ Flanked by guards, Daniel Pruneau is escorted to his arraignment in Newport yesterday from yet another escape from Winter Street earlier this year.Monday’s border incident triggered the three-day manhunt by hundreds of local, state and federal law enforcement officers from half a dozen agencies on the U.S.side with the Quebec Police Force beating the bushes around Beebe Cars were stopped and searched, shotgun-toting squads guarded crossroads and checked empty homes and at least two tracking dogs were brought in to sniff Eaton’s revolver.Rain thwarted the tracking dogs, and the law enforcement officers expressed their admiration for their suspect, “a regular jackrabbit”, but the dragnet gradually closed in, aided by the fact that he was wearing boots with distinctive herringbone patterned soles.Finally, at about 10 Wednesday night, youths reported fiaving seen a man answering the suspect’s description walking the CP line toward the railyards.Newport police Lt.Lawrence Thompson, Chief Curtis Hardy and CP Rail Cst Ray Carpenter closed in on the suspect, whose head could be seen in the grass beside the tracks “Don’t shoot, don’t shoot, Pin coming.I have a revolver in my belt,” the suspect is reported to have yelled when Thompson covered him with his revolver.They identified their suspect as Pruneau and disarmed him, finding a loaded .38 calibre revolver and a knife with a six inch blade White said Pruneau may be moved from the Orleans County jail a medium security institution to (he top security Saint Albans Correctional Facility, given the suspect's past record for successful jailbreaks Godin: Trudeau taking the rapist's approach Gerald Godin: Cabinet tour to offset Trudeau propaganda By Charles Leveque SHERBROOKE - Gerald Godin, Quebec's Minister of Cultural communities and immigration, described Prine Minister Pierre Trudeau's charter of rights as rape.In a brief stopover in Sherbrooke yesterday, Godin, one of six cabinet members now touring the province, described the Levesque government's policy towards the Charter of rights and the Constitution.“Trudeau is being opposed by the province and he doesn’t like it.It’s a return to the law of the jungle; the strongest win." Godin explained that he saw Trudeau as attempting to refute 115 years of history: “If the Trudeau package passes it will prove that we have been living for 115 years in a federal illusion.” Discussing the pending ruling from the Supreme Court of Canada Godin said it would be of little importance.He described the supreme court as a tribunal chosen by the Prime Minister himself.The real Supreme Court of Canada, he said, is the people.“I would like to see him call a referendum on the question.It might ne fun to watch Trudeau face off against Lougheed and Peckford.The eight provinces opposed to the package would unite and fight this to the end.Godin reiterated that it is finally the people that are the Supreme Court and that is why he and five other Levesque cabinet minister have embarked on this tour of the province.They hope to sensitize the public to the danger from the prime minister.“When the BNA act was signed it listed what powers were provincial and which were federal, now Trudeau wants to change all that.I thought that in a democracy the only ones who could change the powers of an elected official are the people.” Quebec feels the most threatened, he said, because if the package comes through it will make many of Quebec’s laws, written and voted by Quebecers for Quebec, unconstitutional He also said that the federal Charter of Rights would affect Quebec business, possibly resulting in great losses of jobs “The imposition of Trudeau's Charter of Rights would bring into question 50 of Quebec's most fundamental laws.Much of the language legislation protecting the rights of the French majority in this province.” Godin closed his meeting by saying that Quebec as well as seven other provinces would fight Trudeau to the end and the Prime Minister knows this and is acting accordingly “If you have been going out with a girl for a long time and she doesn't want to have anymore to do with you, do you leave her and find another or do you rape her’1 Trudeau is trying to rape Canada.” $20 billion budget passes unchanged QUEBEC (CP) The Quebec-national assembly wound up the first session of the 32nd legislature Thursday, during which it passed almost unchanged the $20 million budget in troduced prior to the April 13 general election.Premier Rene Levesque called the mostly-housekeeping session brief “but extremely full.” Included in the budget tabled last March 10 by Finance Minister Jacques Parizeau are a general income tax cut of 1.5 per cent Do be followed by a second cut of two per cent next Jan l ) ; a reduction in corporate taxes to five per cent from 13 per cent; and a requirement that Hydro Quebec pay dividends to the provincial treasury.During the spring session the assembly also passed a bill ern-powering the Quebec Housing Corp to set up a home ownership program — a major Parti Québécois election promise The program aims to help young couples with at least one child buy their first home.Lessard vows solution Trudeau fights back over El Salvador OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Trudeau unleashed his famous acerbic tongue Thursday to fend off critics of his government’s policies on interest rates and the civil war in El Salvador.Trudeau called Opposition Leader Joe Clark “morally bankrupt,” labelled Progressive Conservative finance critic John Crosbie “a jerk” and said New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent “drew a dud” on his recent peace mission to the war-torn Central American country.Obviously irritated under persistent opposition questioning — only one day after the Supreme Court of Canada scuttled his hopes of getting a new constitution by July 1 — Trudeau turned on the verbal overdrive.Only Clark drew real blood in return, accusing the prime minister of being a smug “millionaire from Outremont,” a wealthy part of Montreal, who doesn't care about the problems of ordinary Canadians.But even then, Trudeau got the last — and perhaps most vicious — word.Broadbent was the prime minister's first victim in the rowdy and highly personal exchanges — punctuated by-cheers, jeers, partisan heckling and loud applause — that brought back memories of his “gunslinger” approach to the 1979 election.SEND MACGUIGAN For the third consecutive day, the s'DP leader pressed Trudeau to en-lorse a negotiated settlement to the tloody strife in El Salvador and send External Affairs Minister Mark MacGuigan or an all-party committee .o help achieve it.Broadbent returned recently from a oeace mission to the war-tom state and jther Latin American countries on oehalf of the Socialist International, a worldwide grouping of social Jemocratic parties For the third straight day, Trudeau refused The Canadian government, the Ronald Reagan administration in the United States and El Salvador’s ruling junta have all rejected Broadbent s mediation bid, putting their faith in elections which the NDP leader says would be a farce — scheduled for next year.As the prime minister outlined his view that the problem rests with the inability of the two sides to negotiate the terms under which the election should be fought, Broadbent shouted: “That’s whv they need a mediator:” QUEBEC (CP) — Lucien Lessard, Quebec’s fish and game minister, said Thursday he is willing to personally negotiate a solution to a salmon fishing dispute with Micmac Indians in eastern Quebec that sparked a police raid last week.Lessard told a news conference the latest information he had was that the Restigouche Reserve Micmacs have removed all salmon nets from nearby rivers.Lessard said he interpreted this as a gesture of good will.“I feel there's an opening that didn't exist two days ago,” he said The National Indian Brotherhood executive council resumes a special meeting in Restigouche aimed at drawing attention to the dispute.Council spokesman Lyle Longclaws said the Restigouche band is awaiting an answer from the federal government to a request for intervention on behalf of the Micmac.They have asked Indian Affairs Minister John Munro to assert federal jurisdiction over Quebec Indians and they want the RCMP to “protect” them from the Quebec provincial police.Angered by a provincial police raid last week that resulted in the seizure of fishing nets and the arrest of 11 men on charges varying from police obstruction to assault, the Brotherhood moved the top-level meeting to this reserve on the Baie de Chaleur They arrived here early Thursday after an overnight flight from Victoria aboard a charter jet.The Brotherhood brought along three of its lawyers to advise the Restigouche Micmac on criminal and civil charges it could lay against the Quebec government. 2 FRIDAY, JUNE 19,1981 Police investigate Legislature assault FREDERICTON (CP) - This city’s police force in investigating an assault accusation levelled against New Brunswick Justice Minister Rodman Logan by an opposition member of the legislature John McKay, Liberal finance critic and member for Newcastle-Miramichi, said Thursday police have taken his formal statement outlining the alleged assault and picked up transcripts of Tuesday night's rowdy, violent session of the legislature McKay said that during a recess called to cool tempers in the midst of a particularly hot debate in the house, Logan walked across the floor and ‘‘invited me to step outside.” He said ly)gan “showed me his fist and then shoved his fist in my chest,” McKay said Logan also tried to remove his glasses before being escorted back to the government side of the house by other members I>ogan said he was shaking his finger at McKay, not a fist, and that if he did bump the Liberal member it was accidental, the result of confusion as other members tried to take him back to the government benches.The justice minister said he is not sure w hat he can do if the Crown prosecutor lays charges in the case However, Logan said that technically the house was still in session even though the speaker was not in the chair He said he may be able to claim privileges of the legislature which, among other things, preclude arrest McKay told the house after the outburst the matter was too serious to take before the legislature’s committee on privileges and he would instead pursue it through the justice department.Logan told the house Wednesday the laying of assault charges against him would result in a “strange situation" since, as attorney-general, he is the person responsible for instituting prosecutions.However, should a charge be laid, “it will be dealt with honestly, fairly and forthrightly,” he said.The row in the legislature broke out after Liberals expressed dissatisfaction with the speaker’s ruling on a voice vote in favor of the Progressive Conservative government * Wl SETTLE ESTATES * TAX PLAN YOUR INCOME * FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION *

G WS - i n - b r i 6 f vaccine produced WASHINGTON (AP) - The U S agriculture department said Thursday “a breakthrough in genetic engineering” has produced a safe, effective vaccine to protect cattle and other livestock from foot-and mouth disease, one of the world’s most serious animal diseases.“We believe this to be the first production through gene splicing of an effective vaccine against any disease in animals or humans,” Agriculture Secretary John Block said in a statement announcing the development “Animal tests carried out over an eight-week period show that the vaccine works This breakthrough can mean annual savings of billions of dollars and an increase in the world’s supply of meat ” Block said the vaccine is safe because “only a segment of the virus is used" to produce it and thus cannot produce the disease itself in a vaccinated animal Also, the vaccine can be stored for long periods of time without refrigeration, which will be important in primitive areas where foot-and-mouth prevails.The vaccine’s development, which involved the cloning of genetic material referred to as “recombinant DNA techology” was carried out in a co-operative project with Genentech Inc., a research firm based in San Francisco Foot-and-mouth disease has not existed in North America for many years.But it occurs, sometimes with alarming results, throughout much of the world, including most of Europe, Africa and South America.North America, Australia and New Zealand are among the few major livestock areas free of the disease It is not considered a hazard to humans.Canadian ‘didn’t know’ plot illegal NEW ORLEANS (AP) One of two Canadians facing cluirges in an ill-fated overthrow of the Dominican government has testified it was not until U.S.federal agents arrested him and nine other mercenaries that he realized the plot was illegal.Larry Jacklin, 23, of Listowell, Ont., said he was led to believe the scheme to restore an ousted leader to power on the tiny Caribbean island was approved by the U.S.government.Jacklin is among seven who pleaded guilty in plea bargain arrangements.Several have testified in U.S.District Court against three comrades who maintain they were duped into joining the plot.Lightning brings only slight burn KINBURN, Ont.(CP) — It all happened in a flash Lemonade got a slight burn on his crown; Carlee Pelkey got tossed three metres in the

mathematics tutor Disalle.Carlee's mother, who witnessed the strike, said it was a miracle her daughter escaped without serious injury.The bolt threw Carlee more than three metres in the air and she landed on her back three metres away.Said Carlee: “All I remember is petting Lemonade and then being in the car (going to the hospital).” Steve Bradbury, a family friend who also saw Carlee get hit, said he thought she had been killed.“There was a big bang and 1 saw a ball of light and Carlee lying still on the grass ” Weather Sunny with cloudy periods in the afternoon and an increasing chance of

shortly after he is dead.Fox now is fighting a grim battle with cancer.Answering pleas from both sides of the Commons, the minister said it would not be proper for Canada to break the tradition of many countries not to depict a living person on a stamp, other than a head of state.Bank rate unchanged OTTAWA (CP) — The Bank of Canada, trapped between rebounding interest rates in the United States and a falling Canadian dollar, left the bank rate at 19.07 per cent Thursday, the rate established last week just short of the record 19.1 per cent set earlier this month.The prime rate — which chartered banks charge their best corporate customers — has been 20 per cent in recent weeks Don’t see eye-to-eye OTTAWA (CP) — Terry Sargeant, New Democratic Party defence critic, is not seeing

decision today OTTAWA (CP) — The federal government, after months of delay, will announce today whether it will continue protection for the textile industry that critics say will cost the average Canadian family $1,000 over the next 10 years.The decision follows the recommendations of the government's Textile and Clothing Board last year that the industry should continue to be protected from foreign competition.Otherwise, the board warned, many factories would close and thousands of people would lose their jobs The industry employs about 200,000 people, most of them in Quebec and

refiners have rejected the deal and other companies are reluctant to commit themselves to oil they don’t need.But while many Canadian refiners would prefer to buy higher quality light crudes from Britain, Norway and other countries during the present oil glut, they must also weigh the chances of offending Mexico — the source of a relatively secure supply of oil Want 165 per cent write-off ST ANDREWS, N.B. — A dispute over athletic scholarships within the Canadian Interuniversities Athletic Union remained unresolved Thursday, threatening national jntercollegiate sports competitions this fall.Delegates to the union's annua' meeting failed during a two-hour closed meeting to settle differences over the conditions attached to universities granting scholarships to student athletes.After the meeting, Carl Totzke of the University of Waterloo said Ontario universities are sticking to their plan not to play in national sport championships until the scholarship issue is settled.One of the Ontario demands is that Atlantic schools be prevented from offering scholarships to graduating Ontario high school students.The Atlantic schools say they need Ontario athletes in order to field teams that will be competitive in national competitions.Western universities are not opposed to direct scholarships and will accept the conditions the Ontario schools want.Thursday's meeting agreed to the formation of a special committee that will meet with a negotiator in two weeks to try to settle the dispute.The union voted last year to accept scholarships, but put a moratorium on them for one year while guides were drawn up.Those guides were turned down at Tuesday’s meeting and the moratorium ended.Unless the special committee can find a solution to the dispute, one of the main casualties will be the national college football championship — the College Bowl — and the two playoff games — the Atlantic and Western bowls, which usually feature Ontario teams The end of the moratorium won't mean that universities will be offering scholarships on the scale that occurs in the United States.Sugar Ray Leonard.There may be some truth in voodoo Steinbrenner heats up baseball talks NEW YORK (AP) — Amid reports that George Steinbrenner was asking for the scalp of the owners’ chief negotiator, the impulsive New York Yankee owner sent a note of support for the same man, Ray Grebey, director of the player relations committee.The message, sent Wednesday, was received by the commissioner's office, both league presidents, all major league clubs and the committee.It said: “Please be assured that the Yankees are supportive of the player relations committee and the negotiating committee and have publicly stated so numerous times “We think it is imperative that our representatives engage in meaningful negotiating as part of the bargaining process regardless of any other factors.We have been advised by the negotiating committee that this is being done.We are completely supportive of the commissioner in this approach.” Steinbrenner’s message, a copy of which was disclosed to The Associated Press on Thursday, answered some suggestions that the owners’ resolve in the seven-day baseball strike, which has caused cancellation of 87 games, was crumbling.Grebey has staunchly resisted any chinks in the owners' unified front and warded off suggestions from the Major League Baseball Players' Association and several owners that ownership become directly involved in the stalled negotiations.MEETING TODAY The next bargaining session between the owners and players is set for 3 p.m EDT today following an unproductive meeting Wednesday, when the two sides never met in the same room, and a two-hour “history” session on Tuesday recapitulating 18 months that hadn't resolved the sole issue — the source and level of compensation for free agents.A published report Thursday said the group of three owners that had met with commissioner Bowie Kuhn on Tuesday had offered a proposal for the player relations committee.The plan, forwarded by Steinbrenner, Eddie Chiles of Texas Rangers and Edward Bennett Williams of Baltimore Orioles, called for the following compensation for teams losing free agents: a choice of five amateur draft choices, the 21st player on the roster or $400,000.It was reported that the plan was rejected by a majority of owners and was not sent to the committee for consideration.On Thursday, Steinbrenner also urged Kuhn “to take steps to replace Grebey." MONTREAL (CP Nelson Skalbania.flam boyant new owner of Mon treal Alouettes of the Canadian Football League, appears to be splitting up ownership of the club among several other businessmen The Gazette, in a copyright story published today, said Skalbania has either concluded deals with, or is negotiating with, five other investors including Vancouver stockbroker Peter Brown and Vancouver restaurateur Hy Aisenstat What is not certain, however, is how the ownership pie is to be divided up and whether Skalbania would retain x ¦ * -x ¦ ¦ ¦ mm control of the club All five businessmen said they have parted with money but declined to state precise amounts.Their shares, as they described them, add up to 87.5 per cent of the club This would leave just 12.5 per cent for Skalbania himself, but the 43-year-old Vancouver real estate speculator offered a different set of figures.He has said he ow ns 63 per cent of the club and talks as though he is bringing in some local people as junior partners The other potential owners are Montreal car dealer Rene Forte.Montreal real estate speculator Mel Hodes and entrepreneur Gaston Parent of Montreal, manager of Formula racing driver Gilles Villeneuve Brown said he has agreed to purchase a half interest in what he believes to be Skalbania’s controlling interest, which Brown said is 51 per cent of the club JOINT CONTROL Brown said he and Skalbania would jointly control the Alouettes, but if each of the other four gets what he expects, there wouldn't be 51 per cent left for Brown and Skalbania Any ownership change requires approval by the Canadian Footbll League, which has recognized only one Alouette Skalbania | The new recruits could put the club back where it w as in March The league then balked at Skalbania’s plan to buy 50 per cent of the Alouettes from former owner Sam Berger because it wasn't clear who would be speaking for the club CFL commissioner Jake Gaudaur said Thursday he wasn't aware of the situation and normally wouldn’t be notified until the details w ere settled The accounts from each potential new partner did not always coincide with Skalbania’s description of the situation Rene Forte said: “I own 25 (xt cent” plus the title of club president.Skalbania agreed Mel Hodes said: "1 know what I’ve got; I’m not sure what anybody else has.” His share is 10 per cent Skalbania again agreed Peter Brown said:‘T bought half of 51 per cent ” “That’s right,” said Skalbania, adding he and Brown would exercise joint control of the club, “but I will do the talking I will do the voting." Gaston Parent said "I had the offer of 10 per cent and I'm picking up the 10 per cent." Skalbania said Parent might have two per cent Hy Aisenstat insisted he is purchasing 17 per cent.“Hy,” said Skalbania, “has bought 10 per cent so far “Hy is the one that’s selling, by the way .1 think Hy will probably be out of it.by the time we apply to the CFL."

Sugar Ray Leonard doesn’t believe in witch doctors.But just to be on the safe side, he’s avoiding any prefight contact with Ayub Kalule, his opponent in the junior middlew'eight world championship bout, because Kalule has one in his training camp.That, says Leonard, is why he hasn't scouted Kalule in person for the bout June 25 in the Houston Astrodome.“Kalule’s got a witch doctor and 1 want to stay clear of him,” Leonard said in Houston on Thursday.“I don’t believe in it, but I want to stay my distance.“I don’t trust him.I heard my mother and father talk about voodoo and witchcraft.There may be some truth in it.” A gold medallist in the 1976 Olympics, Leonard, 25, has a 29-1 professional record, including 20 knockouts, and captured the World Boxing Council welterweight crown.Now the WBA junior middleweight throne beckons Leonard, and his opponent will be Kalule, a 5- Fletcher Team Canada GM MONTREAL ( CP) — Cliff Fletcher and Scotty Bowman have agreed to serve as general manager and coach respectively of Team Canada for this September’s Canada Cup hockey tournament, it was announced Thursday.Speaking to reporters, tournament chairman Alan Eagleson also revealed that former Montreal Canadiens general manager Sam Pollock and Bill Torrey, general manager of the Stanley Cup-champion New York Islanders, will be advisers to Fletcher.Current Montreal general manager Irving Grundman will be assistant general manager.Fletcher, general manager of Calgary Flames, was comanager of the National Hockey League all-stars who lost the Challenge Cup series to the Soviet nationals in February, 1979.Bowman, coach and general manager of Buffalo Sabres, coached Team Canada 1976 which won the first, and so far only, Canada Cup.Fletcher called Bowman “the best coach in the modern era of hockey” and predicted his participation “will go a long way to obtain our goal of reversing the embarrassment of our loss in the Challenge Cup.” Bowman was on vacation in Florida and missed the news conference, but Fletcher and Torrey said players will be selected during the next 10 days, with Bowman’s participation.Cancer swimmer stops to rest foot-9, 154-pound southpaw from Uganda who is undefeated with 36 victories and 28 knockouts since 1976.Kalule.27, now a resident of Denmark, is reported to have sent for a witchdoctor from Uganda to help prepare him for his U S debut against Leonard Promoters of the bout said Kalule’s witchdoctor has stopped tornadoes and floods and made crops grow Asked to compare Kalule to Roberto Duran, the brawling welterweight who traded victories with Leonard in two wild fights last year, Leonard said: “Kalule is nowhere near Duran in lerms of the amount of pressure Duran applies.“I think Kalule is a determined champion, a straight-up European style fighter " Also on the bill, Thomas Hearns of Detroit will try to retain his WBA welterweight title against challenger Pablo Baez of Los Angeles European welterweight champion Jorgen Hansen of Denmark will square off in a 10-rounder against former world welterweight champion Jose (Pipino) Cuevas of Mexico.IbxIriUur TREMBLAY 2540 ROY STREET SHERBROOKE 567- 4527 0945 I ^ Rodrigue Tremblay, pres 1- RETAIL SALES AND OUTFITTING.2- ALUMINUM SIDING.3- INDUSTRIAL STEEL SIDING.4- DOORS-WINDOWS-ROOFS ^-ALUMINUM SEAMLESS EAVES DON'T HESITATE TO CALL US TROIS-RIVIERES, Que — Louis Lourmais, a 60-year-old cancer victim who is tackling a 360-kilometre swim from Montreal to Quebec City, left the chilly waters of the St.Lawrence River for a rest early today.Maurice Brodeur said Lourmais was advised to take a break — after 27 hours in the water — by Montreal doctor Dr.Pierre Band who is aboard the ship accompanying the swimmer, along with Lourmais’s wife and friends.“He was very tired, exhausted,” said Brodeur Lourmais, a Montreal oceanographer who began his swim in Montreal harbor Wednesday night, arrived at Trois-Rivieres just after midnight EDT and left the water for about five hours.Trois-Rivieres, 140 kilometres northeast of Montreal, is about halfway to Quebec City.The swimmer slept four hours and was “in very good shape and well-rested” when he slipped back into the river at dawn, Brodeur said.“He’s in just as good shape as when he left Montreal.” Lourmais, who is blind in one eye, suffers from lymphatic cancer EATING NATURALLY Lourmais has been eating “a natural-foods diet which includes eggs, lots of milk, raisins, yogourt, fruit, honey and raw meat,” said Brodeur.He also said the swimmer had little difficulty in crossing Lac St.Pierre, a widening of the St.Lawrence between Sorel and Trois-Rivieres.\ 1 B.fl ¦ V ’"I /mm! i !

#¦___ftgJ «gcom The Montessori Method: Is it right for your kids?Around the turn of the century Maria Montessori designed sensorial material according to children's natural interests.Pre-school or not?And which one should you choose for your children?The Montessori schools have gained popularity steadily since they were begun in Italy early in this century.By Pauline Evans Photos by Perry Beaton There are over 7,000 Montessori Children's Houses in North America, The name ‘Montessori’ is gradually becoming more familiar in Sherbrooke.However, there is a lack of information offered to parents explaining the real purpose of a Montessori school.Often this leads to misconceptions and vague ideas, as people become only slightly familiar with certain aspects.The only pre-school services given help by the Quebec government are day-care services.The government-supported day-care program very often has been primarily devised for the working parent for economic reasons, with the child’s development and needs being placed second.These services often miss a very good opportunity to offer the young child the best environment and activities for his full development.Maria Montessori was born in Italy in 1870 and was the first woman to graduate from the University of Rome with her degree in medicine.She joined the University's Psychiatric Clinic, visiting children who were committed to asylums.She was convinced these children could learn through special education and worked with them tirelessly, furthering her pedagogical studies at the same time.She achieved success with many of these mentally deficient children.They became able to read and write and pass an exam for normal children.She then considered the state of the normal child.She felt these children's fullest potential was not being attained.She further studied philosophy, psychology and anthropology and also made a special study of children's nervous diseases.By her observations of normal children in specially-prepared environments established first in Italy, Spain, Holland and India, she noted certain developmental characteristics held in common, despite cultural differences.Thus she observed children who spontaneously became self-disciplined, orderly, joyful, satisfied and rested after long periods of intense concentration whilst spontaneously repeating the same activity numerous times.These children were indifferent to rewards and punishments, they possessed a deep sense of personal dignity and demonstrated a deep sense of community and concern for each other.She observed that children possess an absorbent mind which enables them to absorb all impressions and information from the environment.This special type of mind makes it possible for the child to form his own intelligence and other faculties that are non-existent at birth, and to adapt to the country, culture, and time in which he is born.Thus, children have a strong desire and great ability to acquire knowledge spontaneously, comparable to their ability to learn their native language.Consider the efforts achieved by the small cnua ot tnree since he was a 'helpless' baby.He has attained a certain degree of independence It is not the adult who has achieved this for him, but the spontaneous, incessant, unwearying activity of the child.Often children slowly repeat the same thing many times, which, to the adult, seems incomprehensible.This repetition is the means by which the child is perfecting himself.The adult can greatly help the child in fulfilling his creative task by respecting his slower inner rvthm.In a Montessori environment each child chooses freely their own developmental activities.They have the opportunity to live in accordance with their own inner rhythm.Montessori also observed that young children have certain sensitive periods.At these times only, they are highly attracted towards certain aspects of the environment, to the exclusion of others.During these sensitive periods the child reveals certain aptitudes, which help him gain a new characteristic or function.The Montessori sensorial materials respond to this period, refining and perfecting the senses by stimulating activity The newborn baby has no more ideas than the newborn cat, but man has the power to create them The child possesses this miraculous ability that distinguishes us from other animals with their instinctive behaviour patterns Ideas and concepts of the child’s world have to be built up first by various sensory experiences.Whilst receiving many impressions through his senses, he is constantly comparing, contrasting, classifying and trying to bring order to these experiences., Thus he slowly builds up his powers to make and compare judgments, to reason and to abstract In accordance with this natural interest, the Montessori sensorial material was designed.By comparing, classifying and ordering sensory impressions with the sensorial material, the child is aided in the building of intelligence.Through daily manipulations with this material and the opportunity to repeat, the child’s mind becomes more ordered and systematic.By studied observations of children in various continents, Montessori slowly evolved the Montessori materials.Other materials give the children concrete impressions and experiences in music, art, geography, botany, reading, history, science, numbers, writing, zoology.W’hilst the adult may think of them as subjects, they are not presented in a formal manner.Because the child at this age explores his world seasonally and is always manipulating things, these materials are designed on this sensorial level.The aim is to put the child in touch with various sides of life, creating a real interest which he can follow according to his needs.When eventually he comes to study these subjects in a more abstract manner, there is a real understanding and appreciation based on the previous sensorial foundation.The golden bead material introduces the decimal system to children approximately -MMi years.Many games are played in groups on floor mats with children easily manipulating such quantities as nine thousands, five hundreds, seven tens and four units.Through this very sensorial manipulation the children happily understand processes of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division.How many of us still have a block about maths because we didn’t develop a concrete understanding of numbers and the simple arithmetical operations?Apart from activities of painting, plasticene, pasting, modelling clay, sewing and cutting, the children are offered opportunities to do practical work.They can wash dishes, tables, clothes; sweep, dust and polish many items including their shoes.The children are also offered exercises related to care of themselves.They enjoy manipulating various types of attachments on dressing frames, that they are likely to find on their clothes.The young child naturally strives to perfect his movements and the Montessori practical life material assists his development by responding to this sensitive period, when he has an intense interest and capacity for perfecting synthetic movements, directed by the mind toward an intelligible purpose.There are three necessary elements that are strongly interlinked in a Montessori ‘classroom’.THE PREPARED ENV IRONMENT This is an environment which is specially prepared to aid the child’s total development.All aspects of it should be beautiful and appealing to the child.Because it responds to his developmental requirements, the child spontaneously uses his freedom constructively.Order in the environment is essential for the child to build his own mental order and intelligence upon.The environment is maintained carefully, with a special place for each activity.The children very quickly respond to replacing their own activities themselves, after use.They enjoy maintaining this order in the environment, as it responds to their sensitive period for order In a Montessori environment there exists a mixed age group of children 2'2-6 years, as these children are in the same level of development with the same needs.The younger children have the older children to emulate, so they quickly learn to wait their turn, respect certain guidelines and co-operate with the others The older children reveal a w illingness to help the younger ones and do so spontaneously.THE DIRECTRESS This term is used rather than teacher, as she is a keen observer of each individual child’s needs and directs and stimulates his potentialities towards the self-teaching equipment She presents to him many interesting pieces of equipment, in accordance with these needs.She is not there to teach, but acts as a dynamic link between the child and the prepared environment.She maintains this environment with care and attention to appearance, order and detail.Initially she is in the foreground presenting the materials so the children know their use, and establishing certain guidelines for the running of each day.As time goes on her aim is to become more passive, withdrawing and observing, whilst the child becomes more active In this way, she fosters the child's independence, free choice and spontaneous activity.FREEDOM The child possesses within himself a pattern for his psychic development, which will unfold with the op portunity to interact freely with his environment Mon tesson believed true freedom depends upon a previous development of his personality, involving his independence, will and inner discipline As adults we must guard against discouraging the child's independence, tyrannizing him with our will and denying him the op portunity for repetition In Montessori Children's House he is helped to develop his will by using activities that encourage him to civ ordinate his actions towards a given end He realizes that to achieve the end result he must use certain movements, while inhibiting others The child is not given the freedom to do anything he likes - this would be abandoning him When a new class commences the directress has a direct role in establishing guidelines.Anti social acts are discouraged, the material is to be chosen only after being presented and is to be used correctly As the children acquire more know ledge of the use of the material, they begin to enjoy their liberty Self discipline evolves spontaneously The children are shown how to use the material and then are free to choose among these activities They are free from competition, rewards and punishment, leaving each child free to develop at his own rate according to his own rhythm.The children s actions are limited only when they in terfere with the rights of others.Small group lessons in social courtesy give the children the means to be master of their actions.It is to be emphasized that ideally the Montessori program is a three-year one For example, before a child is ready to w rite there are many skills that he has acquired beforehand In order to write it is necessary to be able to express oneself first There are many activities to promote the children’s ex pression, such as news periods, question games and other related vocabulary building activities.These activities are commenced from the first day the children arrive The child also learns the sounds and symbols of his language.These activities take place over a long period of time There are five stages to the sound game.A new stage is introduced only when each child has really un derstood the previous stage.Only after completion of this game, all die symbols of the alphabet (vowels, con sonants, phonograms) are introduced to each child in dividually at their own rate.Two or three symbols are introduced at a time and they are really well known before new ones are introduced On the other hand, many activities are offered to aid the child's motor co-ordination By the time the child holds a pencil to write, he does this confidently because his three writing fingers have had much preparation with many different exercises and he has used his wrist in writing movements in many other exercises For a child to get the full benefit from the Montessori program he should start at age two years and a half to three For a child to start when he is much older means he will not receive the same full opportunity -F

diplomas She has been a Montessori directress for three years and a half with two years experience in Australia and one year and a half experience in Quebec At Montessori schools children are
