Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke snow Tuesday, February 19, 1985 35 cents At least 110 killed in plane crash near Bilboa, Spain BILBAO, Spain (AP)—An Iberia Air Lines Boeing 727 crashed today in northern Spain, civil aviation authorities said.Airport officials said rescue parties reported survivors among the 144 passengers and seven crew members.But police on the scene said they found no one alive.Civil aviation authorities said Flight 610 from Madrid, the Spanish capital, crashed into 1,020-metre-high Oiz Hill just before it was to land in this Basque industrial city.Air traffic controllers said the aircraft disappeared from their monitors at 9:35 a m.(3:35 a m.EST), some 15 minutes before it was due to land at Sondica airport.Civil aviation authorities said the crash occurred 29 kilometres southeast of Bilbao near the town of Durango as the plane was making its approach.The authorities said the weather Lévesque future in doubt at caucus meet By Linda Drouin QUEBEC (CP) — Fresh from the Regina first ministers meeting with good reviews about his performance, Premier René Lévesque will try to put the lid on rumblings of discontent about his leadership when he opens a two-day meeting of the Parti Québécois caucus today.Officially, the meeting at nearby Mont-Sainte-Anne is to map strategy for the national assembly session that resumes March 12.But it is expected the issue of Lévesque’s leadership will be its focal point.Last weekend, Lévesque told a meeting of the PQ executive in Montreal that he will not step down and plans to lead the party in an election that he hopes to delay until late summer or early fall.PQ executive member Michel Leduc said Lévesque told them he will make it clear to caucus that he’s fit and wants to lead them in the next campaign.Leduc estimates there are only three or four caucus members who are ready to contest Lévesque’s leadership.Education Minister Francois Gendron was the first cabinet minister to openly call for a discussion of Lévesque’s leadership.Identified as a supporter of Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson, considered Lévesque’s most likely successor, Gendron said the air had to be cleared following reports that a dozen PQ assembly members were planning to contest Lévesque’s leadership.SPARKED BY SPEECH Dissatisfaction with the premier’s performance was sparked by a disjointed speech he made two weeks ago that left party members wondering if the bill of clean health doctors gave him early this year had not been premature.Lévesque had returned early from a Caribbean vacation to undergo tests for dizziness.He was declared in good health but overworked.The questions about his health resurfaced when he returned from a second holiday and made the widely-criticized speech in his first official public appearance.Lévesque appears to have regained ground since then with the cooperative spirit he displayed at the Regina meeting on the economy and with the announcement that by Easter, he will present Prime Minister Brian Mulroney with Quebec’s conditions for signing the Constitution.The timing of a Quebec election is high on Lévesque’s list of priori- See BYELECTION, page 2 was cloudy in Bilbao at the time of the crash, but airport officials said flights to and from Bilbao in similar weather conditions were common.Initially, it was reported that 141 passengers and six crew members had perished.Iberia later said a total of 144 passengers and seven crew members were aboard.Airport officials said by telephone that rescue parties were reporting there were “ at least 20 sur- % vivors.” But they said rural police radioed from the scene that they had not been able to find any survivors in the burning wreckage scattered over 2,000 metres.Agence France-Presse reported that Bolivian Labor Minister Gon-zalo Gusman Eguez and former Spanish foreign minister Gregorio Lopez Bravo were among the passengers.The Bolivian ambassador in Ma- drid, Luis Adolfo Siles, said Bolivia’s labor minister, Gonzalo Guzman, and three Bolivian engineers were on the plane and on their way to Bilbao to negotiate an electric train construction project.Iberia sources reported former Spanish foreign affairs minister Gregorio Lopez Bravo was also aboard, but that could not be confirmed A person named Lopez Bravo was listed on the flight manifest released by Iberia.Cruise will fly unfriendly skies Pack journalism RECORD/PERRY BEATON Eastern Townships media types got together with coaches and staff of the Sherbrooke Canadiens for a friendly game of hockey at the Sports Palace Monday.Journalists remember the score as being something like 6-5 (for them) but referee and sometime law enforcement officer René Côté insisted it was 7-1 for the Canadiens.In this action-packed photo, lawyer Jean-Pierre Rancourt (10) messes around with Canadiens coach Pierre Creamer (27) and netminder François Allaire.CHLT’s Steve Vermette (HH) wasn’t going to stand by and let Creamer get

Star says.In a report published today, The Star says the layoffs, to be implemented over the next eight months, are to be announced today in Ottawa and Mississauga by AECL, a federal Crown corporation responsible for the design and sale of the Candu reactor.The reduction is attributed primarily to reduced activity in the industry.It is the second major layoff in the past two years for the company.The Star, which obtained the announcement and some briefing documents Monday, says federal energy department officials confirmed the layoffs.In the news release, AECL says “reduced staff levels are necessary because some major projects which were started in the 1970s are now either complete or close to completion.” The nuclear industry has not recovered from the recession of re-cent years and two major contracts, a billion-dollar deal with Romania and a $4 billion contract with Mexico, both collapsed.The laid off employees, including 240 professional, 120 technical and 140 administrative staff, will get 14 weeks notice, severance pay based on length of service and “counselling and assistance in seeking other employment.” The company says the reduced staff level will enable it to “maintain commercial and technical viability during this period of slow growth in electricity demand and to respond to improved prospects for the nuclear power industry in the longer term as the demand for electricity increases.” AECL says the considerable expansion of the 1970s “will be possible again in the future.” Last Thursday, engineers and scientists responsible for Candu design voted in favor of a strike.The AECL local of the Society of Engineers and Associates wanted raises of five to seven per cent and better layoff notice and severance pay.Quebec to approve caribou deal soon QUEBEC (CP) — A plan to move the carcasses of 10,000 drowned caribou from northern Quebec to Montreal for processing as pet food and fertilizer will get Quebec government approval within a few weeks, an agriculture ministry official promised Monday.Simon Begin, an aide to Agriculture Minister Jean Garon, said his department is working out details with the Environment Department to ensure the operation is carried out safely.The caribou drowned as they were swept over Limestone Falls last September while trying to ford the swollen Caniapiscau River, 125 kilometres south of Kuujjuaq on Ungava Bay.Laurenco-Rothsay Ltd., a Montreal-based subsidiary of Maple Leaf Mills Inc., has agreed to pay two cents a pound for the carcasses from Tuktu Assistance Corp., an Inuit-controlled non-profit group based in Kuujjuak.Begin said the operation must be completed before May 15 or the meat would spoil.Inuit Senator Charlie Watt had accused the Quebec government of withholding permission for the project.But Pierre Perreault, an aide to Environment Minister Adrien Ouellette, said the delay in approval was partly because the Inuit hadn ’t informed the government of their plans.The corporation obtained an $815,000 federal job-creation grant in December to retrieve the carcasses and ship them to a Montreal processing plant.Perrault said the provincial government was told of the scheme in mid-January.GRAND CENTRE, Alta.(CP) — The army says it won’t work, Transport Canada calls it dangerous and local residents consider it a joke, but Greenpeace plans to launch its “cruise catcher” to disrupt today’s free-flight cruise missile test.The U.S.B-52 bomber carrying the missile left its base at Grand Forks, N.D., late Monday to begin its journey to the Beaufort Sea where it will release the cruise for its 2,500-kilometre test flight.Earlier Monday the Supreme Court of Canada refused to grant Operation Dismantle an injunction to stop the tests.A five-judge panel heard 90 minutes of argument, then rejected the request without giving reasons.Operation Dismantle wanted the injunction in effect until the court rules on an appeal heard a year ago.Ray Rohr, Transport Canada’s regional manager of air-navigation requirements, said the cruise catcher — a fish net carried aloft by balloons — would pose a hazard to general aviation in the area.However, some of the 50 residents of Wandering River, 220 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, appear amused by the plan to use the net and 26 balloons equipped with radio deflectors to disrupt the test.“I look at it more as a carnival right now,” said Brent Applegate, operator of the Wandering River Motel.“I’m sure they’ll point out they’re creating a hazard that could potentially kill somebody if an aircraft or helicopter flew into it,” he said.Maj.Dick Adam, Canadian Forces spokesman, said the weather outlook for the test was good.Poor weather delayed the startofa Jan.15 test of the missile.While Greenpeace prepared for its protest, other groups scrambled to get ready on short notice.Few protesters appeared in Grand Centre, the community closest to the Canadian Forces Cold Lake Base where the unarmed missile will land, 290 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.Wendy Tredger, a spokesman for the Lakeland Coalition for Nuclear Awareness, said about 100 demonstrators were expected.The number would be greater if it weren’t for the short notice and timing of the test, she said.Some protesters watched The Day After, a movie about the after-math of nuclear war, while others held a silent vigil around a bonfire in the nearby community of Cold Lake.Greenpeace spokesman Kevin McKeown said he hadn’t heard of Rohr’s warning.“That’s just another excuse not to let us do something we want to do,” he said.“Our main goal is not to catch a cruise, it is to interfere with the testing.” Major Norbert Cyr of CFB Cold Lake said it’s “highly unlikely” Greenpeace will catch anything.The flight corridor is 80 kilometres wide and Greenpeace’s chance of being in the right spot at the right time is “remote,” he said.The test is the second of three scheduled to be held this year over northern Canada.A second free-flight test is expected before the end of March.In the first test this year, conducted Jan.15, the missile remained attached to the wing of a U.S.B-52 bomber throughout its run.The cruise is a long-range, jet propelled missile capable of carrying a nuclear warhead.It can be fired from an airplane, submarine or ship and guided to its target by remote control.The test will mark the first time the missile has flown alone over Canada, moving at 800 kilometres and hour, 50 to 150 metres above terrain similar to the Soviet Union’s.Pope will cash in on his fogcheck VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope John Paul, whose plans to visit a remote native settlement in the Northwest Territories last September were spoiled by bad weather, told visiting Dene leaders Monday he will make another attempt to fly there, the Vatican newspaper L’Osserva-tore Romano reported.The newspaper said the Pope made that offer during a 20-minute meeting with a Dene delegation but gave no indication on when the papal visit could take place.“He has assured us that he will come to meet our people,” Dene leader Steve Kakfwa was quoted by the paper as saying after the meeting in the Roman Catholic pontiff’s private library.“His disappointment for the foiled meeting has been as great as ours.We leave Rome with the certainty that our hope of having the Pope among us will not be dashed.The Pope met Kakfwa; Jim Villeneuve, mayor of Fort Simpson, and Jim Antoine, another Dene delegate.The Pope was scheduled to visit Fort Simpson on Sept.18 during his tour of Canada, but the Pope’s plane was unable to land because of fog.Provincial PC leader Asselin to beat bushes in search of support By Irwin Block MONTREAL (CP) — With no support from their federal cousins in power in Ottawa, the Progressive Conservative Party of Quebec has been nothing more than a registered name for the past two years.But lawyer Andre Asselin, who is trying to resurrect the provincial party, is convinced the time is ripe to appeal to Quebec voters who don’t want either Premier René Lévesque or Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa.“You know, conservatives are doing very well right across North America,” he said with a confident grin during an interview with The Canadian Press Monday.“People in Quebec are no longer ashamed to say, ‘I voted conservative',” he said, reflecting on the Tory sweep of 58 seats in Quebec in the Sept.4 federal election after decades in the political wilderness.The party, that ceased being a force in Quebec politics in the 1930s, was registered and officially recognized by Quebec's chief electoral officer in 1982.Hoping to raise $1 million and recruit 5,000 members within six weeks, Asselin, 44, has quit his $50.000-a-year job as president of a union of small towns to take on the job fulltime.This week, he begins to travel those same small towns to test the right-wing, populist message he hopes will attract both disgruntled supporters of the Parti Québécois and Liberals who still cannot bring themselves to give former premier Bourassa another chance at power.Quebecers, Asselin says, are tired of constitutional conflict.strikes and a bloated public sector.VOTERS WANT PEACE “People want peace, butter and jobs; they want harmony,” the tall, bearded Asselin says, speaking in a colloquial, small town French reminscent of the right-wing populism of the once-powerful Creditistes.His pitch to voters is simple.He would withdraw legal aid from repeat offenders “who show up with two or three gold chains, a diamond ring.Corvette at the door (while) selling drugs and on wel fare.” He would put an end to Quebec’s reputation for having some of the highest taxes in Canada — a situation he describes as “a real holdup.” Rural discontent was the fodder on which the Creditistes fed in the 1960s, when they appeared from nowhere to elect 26 candidates in the 1962 federal election.Asselin’s goal is 25 ridings and he’ll make thatpoint as he begins his political journey with speeches in the neglected and remote riding of Iles-de-la-Madeleine.The riding’s current member, Denise Leblanc-Bantey, is an independence hardliner who quit the PQ cabinet to protest Lévesque’s new stand on federalism.The local reeve, Lucien Landry, has agreed to be the Tory candidate.Landry is a former PQ supporter “who is not an indépendantiste.” says Asselin.“But he has never voted Liberal and.will certainly not vote for Bourassa." Asselin says he will capitalize on his contacts in Quebec’s small towns — contacts he cultivated as head for two years of the 1,120 member Union of Regional County Municipalités.FIELD CROWDED But the right-wing field may prove to be a crowded one in the Quebec election expected this year.Both the PQ and the Liberals are shifting their party programs to the right in at attempt to capitalize on a perceived shift in voter attitudes since the Conservative win.Asselin will also have to deal with the still-active Union Nationale that held power for 23 years before 1970 and which occasionally shows up with some support in public opinion polls.Asselin’s political track record is also spotty: He has lost in three elections, running for the federal Tories in 1965, the Union Nationale in 1976 and the provincial Liberals in 1981 Now he says he will run in the riding of Berthier now held by Liberal back-bencher Joseph Albert Houde.And if a byelection is called in L’Assomption, former finance minister Jacques Parizeau’s turf.Asselin says he’ll run there.He concedes that the federal Tories, who have disowned him fearing a split in the federalist vote, are unhappy with his initiative.One leading Quebec Tory, Treasury Board President Robert de Co-tret, he says, even asked him to withdraw.Asselin.a de Cotret election organizer.says he flatly rejected the appeal, noting “we elected him (de Cotret) and everybody knows that.” “He didn't want to contradict his leader, but one thing is sure: the federal Conservatives can’t work against us.” 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, February 19, 1985 Woman to undergo psychiatric observation after baby’s death OTTAWA (CP) — Provincial Judge James Fontana ordered a 60-day psychiatric examination • Monday for an 18-year-old woman ;charged with infanticide and .manslaughter after a newborn ba- • by boy was found dead in the septic tank of a bus.« Insp.Ron Lamont said two police officers from nearby Nepean , arrested the woman, Jeannie Anne Comic k, in Newfoundland over the weekend.Cornick is from Port au Choix, on Newfoundland’s Great Northern Peninsula.Cornick was arraigned on both charges because there was “some question” about her mental condition.Lamont said.The Criminal Code describes infanticide as a wilful act or omission by a female that causes “the death of her newly-born child, if at the time of the act or omission she is not fully recovered from the effects of giving birth to the child and by reason thereof.her mind is then disturbed.” The code describes manslaughter simply as “culpable homicide that is not murder or infanticide.” “One or the other (charge) may — and I just say may — be withdrawn” when Cornick next ap- pears in court, Lamont said following the hearing Monday.The maximum penalty upon conviction for infanticide is five years in prison, while manslaughter carries a maximum of life.Police believe a woman gave birth to a boy Feb.8 in the washroom of a bus stuck in snow along a road leading to a Defence Department firing range in Nepean, just outside Ottawa.The young people aboard the bus were on a field trip as part of the federal government’s Katimavik youth employment training program.Katimavik is a nine-month work experience program sponsored by the federal Secretary of State for people aged 17 to 21 operating in several cities across Canada.It places participants in community service programs to gain work experience, as well as offering a three-month military training option so participants can learn basic military skills.TAKEN TO HOSPITAL When the bus reached its destination, the woman complained of feeling ill and was taken to hospital.A hospital spokesman said Sun- day it may be possible to miss the fact that a woman has just delivered a baby during an assessment, particularly if a pelvic examination isn’t done.After her release from hospital, the woman rejoined the group.The bus returned to Montreal the following night.The baby’s body was discovered by an employee while he was emptying the bus’s septic tank through an outside valve.He noticed the waste was not flowing properly.An autopsy showed the child was alive at the time of birth, but more tests are needed to pinpoint the exact cause of death, said a Mon- treal morgue official.The bus had been chartered by the Canadian Forces at CFB St-Hubert, just south of Montreal.Defence Department spokesman Maj.Jan Martinsen said Sunday she believes the young woman was participating in the military training portion of the program at the military training camp in Far-nham, Que., near CFB St-Hubert.Since the military is conducting its own investigation in cooperation with civilian police, Martinsen said nothing will be re leased until the inquiry is completed, if then.Quebec and Alberta can NewS-ill-brief get along — Rodrigue MONTREAL (CP) —Quebec and Alberta have found common ground in discussions on revising the federal national energy policy, says Quebec Energy Minister Jean-Guy Rodrigue.“There is a community of interests and views between Alberta and Quebec on the large stakes in energy policy,” said Rodrigue on Monday.“We are seeking deregulation of oil prices, which have in practice already reached the world level,” Rodrigue told a briefing session on Quebec’s energy outlook.“We also want Ottawa to gradually phase out all direct taxes on oil and to eliminate the large bureaucracy which administers” the industry, he added.The federal government should retain only a skeleton bureaucracy to ensure supply and price stability in event of an international crisis, he said.Alberta, Rodrigue said, supports Quebec in its desire to maintain Quebec and Ontario as a single zone for delivery of natural gas.Currently, Trans-Canada Pipelines delivers natural gas to Toronto and Montreal for the same price, but Ontario has proposed splitting the market in two.Vermont man kills wife, kids, commits suicide MONTPELIER, Vt.(AP) — A man shot his estranged wife and their two young children to death, and then killed himself Monday, apparently because he was upset over his marital problems, said police.The victims were identified by police and neighbors as Donald and June Bishop, both 31, their five-year-old son, Matt, and seven-year-old daughter, Dawn.The bodies were found in the family’s apartment after neighbors reported hearing gunshots about 5 a.m., said Rutland Police Chief Douglas Williams.The deaths came ‘‘in regards to a recent separation,” investigators said in a statement.Neighbors said the Bishops had separated about a week ago, but had been amiable toward each other since then.The Bishops had been "on friendly terms” in the days before the shootings, said Harry Sinos, who owned a market across the street from the apartment.“He came around every night.” Grave opened to retrieve cop’s forgotten hat MIDDLETOWN TOWNSHIP, N.J.( AP) — A widow plans to sue a police chief who she says told a funeral home owner to open her husband’s grave to retrieve a hat, the woman’s lawyer said Monday.Joan Schanck, wife of retired Deputy Chief William Schanck, sent a notice to Chief Joseph McCarthy, saying she will seek an unspecified amount of damages, said Larry Loigman, McCarthy’s lawyer.The notice is required before a suit can be filed against a gover- nment official in Monmouth Coun ty Superior Court, Loigman said.Schanck, who was buried Nov.21 in a police uniform, had given away most of his regalia after retiring and did not have a cap, family members said.McCarthy offered his hat to adorn the coffin during the wake and funeral.The widow claimed McCarthy asked a funeral home owner to open her husband’s grave after the chief discovered that his hat was missing.Byelection would be a gauge of public opinion Continued from page I ties.With his party still behind the Liberals in public opinion polls, Lévesque could score crucial points if he can bring Quebec into the constitutional accord it

Airport for 16 years are expected to vote on a proposed settlement in two weeks, says a consultant to the group.Andre Bouvette, an adviser to the organization representing about 425 families of former landowners or more recent residents, said Monday the group is waiting for assessors to finish evaluating the properties.Bouvette said leaders of the group hope members will approve the agreement proposed by Canada Lands Co.(Mirabel) Ltd.Interns threaten strike MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec’s 1,800 medical residents and interns began a series of pressure tactics Monday and threatened to stage a 24-hour strike next week unless the provincial government agrees to binding arbitration to settle a three-year-old contract dispute.Dr.Brian Conway, vice-president of the Quebec Federation of Residents and Interns, said the strike would be held Feb.26 at 41 teaching hospitals in Montreal, Quebec City and Sherbrooke, but federation members will maintain essential services.Men highjack cigarette shipment MONTREAL (CP) — Police are searching for three men who hijacked a $250,000 cigarette shipment in the city’s east end Monday.The hooded trio overpowered the driver of an Atlas Van Lines truck and tied him up, police said.The driver was later found unharmed, tied up near a shopping centre.A police spokesman said there have been a series of similar thefts in recent months.Fund helps small business MONTREAL (CP) — The Solidarity Fund, the Quebec Federation of Labor’s scheme to create or maintain employment by helping small-and medium-sized businesses, is $5 million short of its fundraising objective but organizers say it isn’t in danger of collapse.About 5,000 workers have pledged contributions totalling $5 million — half the amount fund officials hoped to collect by March 1.Fund spokesman Louis Fournier said he was confident more workers now will start contributing to save tax money.Hash trafficker sentenced MONTREAL (CP) — A man who admitted taking part in a scheme to ship three tonnes of hashish to Montreal was sentenced Monday to six years in prison.Michel Pilon was arrested last December by the RCMP at the wheel of a truck on his way to deliver what turned out to be mostly gravel substituted for the hashish.RCMP agents intercepted the shipment in Italy en route from Pakistan and replaced most of the cargo with gravel.Police crack down on assault OTTAWA (CP)— Police officers have become more aggressive in responding to complaints from battered wives but they are reluctant to lay charges without the victim’s approval or evidence of assault, a spokesman for the Ottawa police force said Monday.It is a waste of time to charge without evidence unless the woman is willing to testify in court, said Staff Sgt.Donald Devine, adding that charges are always laid when the assault causes bodily harm.“If she says she doesn’t want any charges laid and in the absence of serious injury, far be it for the police to lay charges,” he said during a two-day family violence conference here.“They wouldn’t have a witness in court and they would be tying up court time.” Coates trip cost $10,000 OTTAWA (CP) — Former defence minister Robert Coates spent almost $10,000 in taxpayers’ money using a government jet to fly to New Brunswick and back the last weekend in January, flight records show.Coates, who resigned last week while denying any wrongdoing after reports that he visited a West German bar featuring strippers and porno movies, was the lone passenger on the Challenger jet from Ottawa to Moncton Jan.26, four days after he was told he was under investigation for a possible breach of national security.He was joined only by his wife on the way back to Ottawa Jan.28.Postal union talks break down OTTAWA (CP) — Despite a breakdown in bargaining, the contract dispute between Canada Post and its largest union may well be settled without a strike, the top negotiator for the postal agency forecast Monday.“Yes, that’s my feeling,” Stewart Cooke, vice-president of labor relations, said in an interview.“I’ve thought all along — and I still do — that we can work it out.We’re regrouping at the moment but I don’t think anyone wants a strike.” Talks between the agency and the 23,000-member Canadian Union of Postal Workers broke down early Saturday over the crucial issue of job security.Pro-lifers march peacefully TORONTO (CP) — Only about 125 antiabortionists answered a call from about 200 area parish priests to march outside the downtown abortion clinic of Dr.Henry Morgentaler on Monday to protest its continued operation.Carrying signs reading Abolish the Abortua-ry, Stop This Silent Holocaust and Abortion is a Dead End, demonstrators moved peacefully in the slush and snow in a block-long line outside the brick building for about two hours.Pro-choice supporters did not appear at the demonstration, launched in a renewed attempt to pressure the Ontario government into immediately closing the clinic.Nurse helps refugees EDMONTON (CP) — Gwen Sali’s work with hungry refugees in famine-racked Ethiopia is simply another step in her nursing career in impoverished parts of the world.The 29-year-old Estevan, Sask., native’s current stint in Ethiopia is the second of a two-year commitment.She and three nurses from the United States sleep in tents and live on baked beans and vegetable soup in Jehowa, 250 kilometres from the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa.“She’s been volunteering her time with VICS (Volunteer International'Christian Service) for a little over four years now,” Sali’s father Ernest said Monday in a telephone interview from Estevan.Airports cause controversy YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T.(CP) — Children will soon have to cross an airstrip to get to school in one isolated northern community.In another, the airstrip begins on a school playground.And in another, the runway is so rough, a wheel fell off a plane just after takeoff.In Fort Franklin, where seven people were killed last fall when a small aircraft slammed into a telephone pole, some people will refuse to send their children to the school now being built because it is too close to the airport.Student report libels former cook UTICA, N Y.(AP) — A student newspaper report that school food was“notfitfor dogs to eat ” libelled a former cook, a jury ruled in ordering a school district that no longer exists to pay the woman and her husband $10,001.The state Supreme Court jury awarded Carol Gagnon $1 in libel damages and $7,500 for damages caused by the negligence of the Oriskany Falls Union Free School District.Her husband, James, was awarded $2,500 for loss of his wife’s services.Anti-nuke protestors face charges HIGGINSVILLE, Mo.(AP) — Five antinuclear protesters face trespassing charges after they jumped the fence at a Minuteman 2 missile site at a support rally for other arrested demonstrators, authorities said.The five were among about 100 people who rallied on Monday near the silo in support of four people arrested in November after they broke into the silo site and damaged it with a jackhammer.Hostage returns home ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE, Md.(AP) — Reporter Jeremy Levin, who escaped from kidnappers in Lebanon, returned home Monday and appealed to his Islamic abuctors holding four other Americans to “let my brothers go.” After 11 months in solitary confinement in eastern Lebanon where he “literally sat in darkness and deep gloom in irons and misery,” the 52-year-old television reporter emerged into noon sunlight from a jet provided by the White House.Study tests sexual arousal STANFORD, Calif.(AP) — Stanford University wants 30 men to volunteer to watch pornographic movies while researchers measure their levels of sexual arousal.The idea of the erotic research is to try to determine what causes men to experience a decline in sexual activity and excitement as they age, said Dr.Robert Rowland, a research fellow on the project.Half the volunteers must be between the ages of 21 and 30 and the other half must be over 70, so that researchers can study the differences in sexual arousal and functioning in the two age groups, he said.Coke trapped in coke machine HAWTHORNE, Calif.(AP) — Five Cuban refugees were arrested while trying to break into a Coca-Cola machine where $20,000 in cocaine had become trapped, police said.The drugs were to have been hidden in the section of the machine where the cans drop down, so that the cocaine could be easily retrieved by the buyer, Sgt.John Beerling said Monday.But someone stuck the package into another slot and it fell inside the machine at an auto body repair shop.That touched off three attempts Sunday to break into the soft-drink machine, Beerling said.Men are fickle says psychiatrist So you think women change their minds more often than men and are more likely to go to pieces in trying situations?Wrong on both counts.According to American psychologist and television personality Dr.Joyce

laboratories by calling for more tests than usual on patients, rather than by cutting back on services as their colleagues in other cities are doing.Quebec’s 1,800 residents and interns embarked on a series of pressure tactics Monday and threatened to stage a 24-hour strike next week unless the provincial government agrees to binding arbitration to settle a three-year-old contract dispute.According to Sherbrooke-area spokesman for the doctors, Dr.Sylvie Lafrenaye, the Eastern Townships group has been asking for unnecessary lab tests to put pressure on the hospitals and the system without threatening patient care.In Montreal and Quebec the resi- dents and interns are working to the letter of their expired 1982 contract, leaving hospitals shorts-taffed.In Montreal, Dr.Brian Conway, vice-president of the Quebec Federation of Residents and Interns, said Monday the strike would be held on Feb.26 at 41 teaching hospitals in Montreal, Quebec City and Sherbrooke.Conway said federation members will maintain essential services if a strike is called.On Monday, the residents and interns started a campaign of pressure tactics ranging from wearing red arm bands to refusing to work more than 35 hours a week, instead of 65 to 100 hours a week, to protest the long wait for a contract agreement.armbands The union has been trying to negotiate a new contract with the Quebec government for almost three years.The federation says binding arbitration is used to settle pay disputes involving medical personnel in most other provinces.The pressure tactics are not expected to have a serious effect on the day-to-day operations of the 41 hospitals.While training to become general practitioners, interns in Quebec are paid $21,615 a year.Residents training to become specialists earn up to $32,054.The federation has asked for pay increases of 10 per cent in the first year and five per cent for each of the last two years.The government has offered no increase in the first year, four per cent in the second and 2.5 per cent in the third.good service External: Bertholds got Blanket campaign gets warm reception ïiPnr ssaas! am t ft < Humane.« mm.SHERBROOKE — MP François Gérin says he is going to look into the case of a Sherbrooke family which says it took over 200 phone calls and a lot of pain to find out from the external affairs department what happened to their father when he was killed during a Mexican vacation.Lionel Berthold, 67, died last Tuesday an hour after he was struck by a car in the streets of Acapulco.His family was told of the death not by the people from External Affairs, as is usual in such cases, but rather by an employee of the local travel agency which had sold him his ticket.And when the family tried to get more information about the death and the process of returning Ber-thold’s body here for burial, they were forced to make over 200 phone calls, pay the government $1900, make arrangements to pick up his remains at Mirabel airport, cancel those arrangements, then make them all over again before they were done.And his family still doesn’t know how Lionel Berthold died.MP Gérin wants to know why the system apparently broke down — if there is a system at all in place to respond to cases lilce this' I WANT TO KNOW “From what I have learned it is usually the funeral home which makes these arrangements, and there’s no problem,” the Conserva-tive member for Megantic-Compton-Stanstead said Monday, “but if some bureaucrat hasn’t done his job I want to know about it.” Berthold’s son-in-law François Charbonneau said Monday the family is still not satisfied with the treatment they got, even though the father’s remains were returned to Canada Friday night.“It was a complete bureaucratic mess,” he said, “and we still don’t really know what happened or how he died.” In Ottawa External Affiars spokesman Phyllis Buckner-Jones said all procedures had been followed correctly in the case and if there is any bureaucratic foul-up in this case it is the fault of the local government in Acapulco.“We still don’t know what happened either,” she said in a CBC radio interview.“We haven’t got the autopsy results or the police report yet.” PROBLEM DOWN THERE “I imagine there may be a problem with the bureaucracy down there.” Jones said the Canadian honorary consul in Acapulco “made all the arrangements at that end himself.” “I’m sorry if the family doesn’t think we did our jobs but I really don’t know what more we could have done,” Jones added.“It was actually really quite extraordinary that the body was returned so fast, in the circumstances,” she said.As for the $1900, Jones said that “the department does not pay” for returning the bodies of Canadians killed in other countries.“That money was for the return of the body.” If things went slowly in the Berthold case, Jones concluded, it’s because “we have to abide by the local customs and regulations.” “I really don’t see what more could have been done.” Missisquoi By Merritt Clifton SHELDON SPRING, Vt.-Committing $27 million U.S.to expanding their dam on the Missisquoi River, Boise Cascade Inc.has announced that they hope to start pouring concrete this spring.Completion date would be 1987.Having received all necessary permits, the Boise Cascade dam project is the most advanced of three along the Missisquoi that could eventually have considerable impact upon Missisquoi Bay.In addition to the Boise Cascade dam at Sheldon Springs, dams at Swanton and Enosburg Falls are slated for major expansion within the decade.All three will produce power that will be marketed in competition with Hydro-Quebec’s new energy corridor from Bedford to Highgate.The Boise Cascade dam will generate 70 million kilowatt hours Friends pay Scott final tribute MONTREAL (CP) - Academics, lawyers, poets and politicians paid tribute at a memorial service Monday to Frank R.Scott, one of Canada’s leading constitutional lawyers and poets.Scott, long-time North Hatley resident, former dean of law at McGill University and lifelong socialist, died Jan.31 at age 85.His funeral was private.“He was the living expression of that optimism that would build a new society,” said Scott’s friend King Gordon, a former McGill University theology professor.Gordon recalled Scott’s key role during the 1930s in founding the So- cialist League for Social Reconstruction and the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, the forerunner of the New Democratic Party.“For Frank Scott, economics was a branch of ethics,” said Gordon who was active with Scott in establishing the CCF.Scott helped draft the CCF platform which called for a minimum wage, the right to collective bargaining, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation and public health insurance.The 400 people who attended the service at McGill University where Scott taught law for many years included former prime minister Pierre Trudeau, Chief Justice Alan Gold of the Quebec Superior Court and poet Louis Dudek.Scott’s “passionate devotion to social good” was evident in every field he touched, said Dudek, recalling his friend’s encouragement of young Canadian artists and writers.“The nobility of his mind seemed to shine on all his subjects,” said Dudek.Scott, a two-time winner of the Governor General’s prize for literature, published several books of poetry.‘COMPLETE CANADIAN’ “Of all contemporary Canadians, he was the most complete,” said Paul Lacoste, rector of the University of Montreal, who paid tribute to Scott’s abilities as poet, academic and constitutional expert.As a lawyer, Scott fought major legal battles in the Supreme Court of Canada for individual and minority rights.His victories included the striking down of Quebec’s infamous Padlock Law which gave the Quebec attorney general (at the time Union Nationale Premier Maurice Duplessis) authority to have a house padlocked if communists used it for a meeting place.The law didn’t define communists, and Scott challenged it before the courts on constitutional grounds, arguing that police power was turned over to the attorney general without a trial.A second landmark decision inflicted another defeat on Premier Duplessis.Scott argued successfully that the premier exceeded his authority by arbitrarily revoking the liquor licence of restaurant owner Frank Roncarelli.The restaurant owner, a Jehovah’s Witness, had angered Duplessis by providing bail to fellow Witness members.Scott, who joined the McGill law faculty in 1929, served on the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism during the 1960s.He is survived by his wife, artist Marian Scott, and son Peter, a literature professor at the University of California.Frank R.Scott.‘The most

year when finished, with a 24.8 megawatt capacity — “enough power to sustain 9000 average households for the 60-year economic life of the project,” spokesmen claim.They estimate that by the year 2000, power from the dam will cost half as much as power from Quebec.Hydro-Quebec’s current export agreement covering the Bed-ford-Highgate corridor will expire in 1995.The expanded Boise Cascade, Swanton, and Enosburg Falls dams could among them cut the Missisquoi’s flow into Missisquoi Bay by as much as a third during wet seasons, but would be opened up to increase the flow during summer dry periods.The result might be less springtime flooding in the Missisquoi basin, and also less late-summer stagnantion and pollution.The Boise Cascade water intake and penstock will be underground, within a unique low-profile’ powerhouse designed to minimize scenic impact.Announcements concerning the Swanton and Enosburg Falls dam expansions are expected soon.The Swanton expansion could also commence this year if all necessary permits are received on schedule.SPA wants rules for pet breeders SHERBROOKE — The home of Weedon dog breeder Léo Jean, placed on two years probation after àn SPCA raid on his farm Jan.29, was full of dogs jammed into a room “that reeked of urine and where the air was unbearable.” The SPCA humanely destroyed 185 dogs following the raid because the animals were “too sick” to live, SPCA inspector Marcel Duquette said Monday.“Some of them were blind, others had broken limbs, skin diseases, their paws were scorched to the bone,” said Duquette, who led the operation Jean, who operated the puppy mill, was charged with cruelty to animals under Article 402 (1) of the Criminal Code of Canada.Duquette said the 185 dogs were crammed in cages in a foulsmelling three- by 10-metre room.Three to four of the animals were crowded together in cages designed for one small dog, he said, noting many of them scorched their paws on the bars of the cage.“We had a veterinarian working on those dogs for 11 hours in the hopes that a few could be saved,” said Duquette; “But 45 puppies and 140 fully-grown dogs were put to sleep.” The dogs were destined for pet shops in Montreal and Quebec City, Duquette said.He said the raid — the largest ever in Quebec — was carried out after the Sherbrooke branch of the organization began receiving complaints last summer about Jean’s treatment of animals.The animal protection group obtained a court order in Sherbrooke and paid a “routine visit” to Jean’s farm late last month.He was sentenced last week in Sherbrooke by Sessions Court Judge Michel Côté, who also forbade him to keep dogs for two years.However, another SPCA official, Cynthia Drummond, said Monday the organization was not satisfied with Jean’s sentence and plans to lobby in future for more serious penalities.Drummond said there are no provincial laws regulating animal breeders.Léo Jean’s cruel puppy factory.‘Paws scorched to the bone’ Father Pouliot helped — son Serge tells court MONTREAL (CP) — Jean-Luc Pouliot took part in a brutal interrogation of several bikers shortly before they were killed last summer, a Superior Court jury was told Monday.Pouliot, of Compton Station, faces 19 charges, including kidnapping, use of a firearm, grievous assault and being an accessory after the multiple slaying near Compton Station.The bodies of Gaston Scalabrini, 24, Jean-Pierre Truchon, 34, Renaud Paquette, 27, and France Michaud, 21, were found at the bottom of a roadside ravine.Son of the accused Serge Pouliot, 22, said his father “grabbed Paquette by the hair and ordered him to write down the names of those who took part” in vandalizing the family's two summer cottages.The witness said he watched as his brothers battered Paquette, Truchon and Scalabrini.Earlier, Crown witness André Maheu told the court he accompanied three Pouliot brothers who lined up four people on a dirt road and shot them with a .303-calibre rifle last June 26.Maheu told the court he had no part in the killings, but the younger Pouliot testified that Maheu gave a warning to the victims.“He owed one of them a debt of $40,” said the younger Pouliot."He then explained that he would pay it back in flowers.” Jean-Luc Pouliot.Grabbed victim’s hair W , I m é Wi, * W (6 r* ' ' IPS YOUR GIFT PROVIDES SAFER WATER CAM 4—The RECORD—Tuesday, February 19, 1985 *¦__fogj mam The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Less serious than parking tickets According to Quebec and Canadian law, cruelty to animals is not a serious crime.Although the Criminal Code provides penalties up to two years in jail, the recent case of Léo Jean shows that in practice the ‘punishment’ for cruelty is shamefully weak.Our supposedly ‘humane’ and sophisticated 20th century society comes up far short of the mark when non-humans are the victims, but we humans have only ourselves to blame.Jean was virtually let off the hook by Sessions Court Judge Michel Côté last week after the Weedon man pleaded guilty to Section 402 (1) of the Criminal Code.The judge handed Jean a two-year period of probation, so for the next 24 months he must report periodically to an officer of the court to show that he has been staying out of trouble.As well, Léo Jean was forbidden to keep any animals during the same two-year period.This is not to say that the judge was out of line; indeed as judges usually do he was merely following the trend, the ‘jurisprudence’ of sentencing on similar cases in the past — following the practice of our society in such affairs.That is, he gave the man convicted of cruelty little more than a slap on the hand and a warning not to do it again.‘Well, you shouldn’t have done that, sir, so we will be keeping a bit of an eye on you for a while,’ our society told Léo Jean.‘And please don’t do it again, at least for a couple of years.’ Some society! This is the same country in which a Sherbrooke-area woman was recently handed a seven-year prison sentence (the legal minimum) for foolishly allowing her boyfriend to use her apartment as a mail drop for illegal drugs he (not she) was smuggling into the country.It’s the same country where criminals often get two years or more in jail for burglary.It’s the same county where you can still go to jail if you don’t pay for your parking tickets.Hell, I could get two years in the slammer today myself for contempt of court if I had chosen to attack the judge who handed Léo Jean his sentence rather than talking about ‘society’.In other words, our society sees cruelty to animals — on a massive scale, as in the case of Léo Jean, who mistreated hundreds of animals — as less serious than parking tickets, less serious than calling judges names.Some society.CHARLES BURY Bruce Levett Hither and thither Oh, goody.The Rent-A-Fan-Club business has come to Canada.Born in Los Angeles, it’s a service which, for a handful of currency, attempts to turn you into an instant — albeit temporary — celebrity.Now it has surfaced in Toronto with a sliding scale of price and product.It comes in various guises: First, there is the A Little Notoriety package.This is for your basic would-be celebrity and it includes a group of five fans who will travel to any predesignated location to meet the idol in question and mob him for a predetermined amount of time.Then we have the They Must Love Me package.In this case, 10 fans show up to meet and mob the subject, with signs, screams and a whole lot of fainting.The Kidnap and Champagne package — five or 10 fans will meet and mob, then place the party of the first part into a limousine stocked with bubbly and nibblies.They then drive him or her hither and thither for an amount of time that is open to negotiation.There is the Overmjgfifer package, in which the screamers fly the screamee to New York or Montreal for dinner.The Tribute Dinner package?Just what it says — much of the above, plus speeches and the presentation of a plaque.In the Obsession Package, five or 10 assorted devotees will spend the complete evening with their hero, going everywhere with him.Everywhere?EVE-RYwhere.For the bridegroom-to-be, they suggest the It Wasn’t Me package.This includes a group of five or six women ; “dressed up to look pregnant.” “For a minimum of $125, celebrity status is available,” the publicity reads."Barry Avrich and his fan-club members (struggling actors) rent themselves out as screaming, near-hysterical members of a fan club." Avrich, a “media entrepreneur,” states that all clients are “well-investigated and researched in advance so that the selected fan club package is tailored to his or her personality " Who would avail themselves of this sort of thing, do you think?Well — I might, for one.You see, there is also something called the Angry Mob Fan Club package: “This package is where the adoring fan club is transformed into an angry mob that will protest the victim’s mere existence and curse the ground he walks on and even throw tomatoes and eggs on request.” Now let’s see — where did I put that address for Avrich?It’s housecleaning as Charter forces laws out By Marlene Orton OTTAWA (CP) - In Alberta, it has been perfectly legal for decades to file a civil suit against an alleged seducer.A seductress apparently wasn’t taken seriously enough to bother with or perhaps it was believed a bewitched man should be left to fend on his own.The Saskatchewan Marriage Act says a clergyman cannot marry a couple where one person is either mentally ill or has a communicable disease.A communicable disease could be anything from gonorrhea to measles.Thousands of outdated laws and statutes like these are either being altered or dumped by the provinces and the federal government as April 17 approaches.That’s the magic day when the equality rights section of the Charter of Rights comes into effect exactly three years after the Constitution was signed by the Queen.Most sections of the charter came into force then.But provisions prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex, age, race, color and disability were delayed so federal and provincial governments could sort through and modify laws that clash with the charter’s new principles.Discarding antiquated laws such as the ones mentioned in Alberta and Saskatchewan was obvious and easy.The Alberta Seduction Act is being repealed as are the two offending sections of the Saskatchewan Marriage Act likely to be.But after more than three years of study, legal experts from St.John's, Nlfd.to Victoria still have not figured out what to do with more controversial codes and rules requiring forced retirement at age 65, for example.Like Ottawa, each province — except Quebec which refused to participate in the Constitution — has designated some kind of committee or legal expert to oversee a review of all laws and statutes.Clare Beckton is in charge of the federal Justice Department’s law audit and makes no apologies about the time it’s taken to review laws and the work that still has to be done by all the provinces.“It’s very much a learning process for everyone,” says the former associate law professor at Dalhousie University.“It takes a long time to do these reviews and there are no judicial interpretations of Section 15 (the equality rights section) to guide us.” OPEN FOR DEBATE The federal government presented a discussion paper last month identifying the touchy issues and throwing them open for debate.Justice Minister John Crosbie also tabled legislation amending some 50 laws so they’ll conform with the charter.These are mainly housekeeping matters such as amending the National Defence Act to bring the military justice system in line with the civilian system so military personnel can have the right to be represented by a lawyer, apply for bail and use legal defences under the Criminal Code.But more complex subjects open for discussion by the government from the equality rights section include the role of women and homosexuals in the armed forces and using physical or mental ability to affect immigration.After nearly three years and lots of study, most provinces still are not prepared for the changes the anti-discrimination section will bring.Many are still catching up with the rest of the Charter of Rights and have not settled more technical legal changes.Alberta and New Brunswick have already presented legislation to change some laws.In fact, New Brunswick passed an omnibus bill in the summer of 1983 changing about 20 laws.Both are continuing legal reviews with more changes still on the way.Saskatchewan issued a discussion paper early last fall pinpointing a variety of laws including discriminatory statutes outlawed in the Constitution Newfoundland issued a similar paper last month.Les Thoms, chairman of Newfoundland’s review committee, said an omnibus bill will likely be tabled and passed there before April 17.Ticklish topics such as mandatory retirement are up for debate in the province as well, says Thoms, who expects a legal challenge in the province on the subject before the year is out.Ontario issued the most weighty review — a 450 page analysis of the charter and its possible effects.Proposed Ontario amendments bringing laws in line with the charter are expected to introduced by April 17.Manitoba changed some statutes in December 1982 but left most larger issues for a more comprehensive review that is still going on.Eugene Shack, a legislative draftsman for the attorney general’s office, says the immensity of the project is staggering and that M anitoba has touched one sensitive area.Already the province has passed a controversial amendment to the Pensions Benefits Act basically forbidding sex discrimination in any pension scheme.Private pension plans generally pay women smaller benefits on grounds they live long than men.The Manitoba law came into force Jan.1.British Columbia and Nova Scotia have done internal reviews and made nothing public yet.Both expect to table legislation soon.The slow pace and the need for public consultation are absolutely vital before the equality rights section can be effective, says Gordon Fairweather, head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.“The courts may well decide that certain practices in Canadian society are unconstitutional; indeed, some people have predicted that sweeping changes may result from the implementation of Section 15,” he said in a recent speech.“This may be so with regard to certain issues.However, the courts will want good information regarding society’s views on any field in which they choose to intervene.” And Canadians must get hold of discussion papers, inform themselves and make their views known.“The courts interpret the charter, but legislation is made in Parliament (and legislatures), and your input is needed.” RgOKE' ORDERED

Presbyterian Church in Canada Sherbrooke Coates coverage asks question of media By Ken MacQueen OTTAWA (CP) — The story of former defence minister Robert Coates’s eventful trip to a West German bar featuring strippers and pornographic movies was spread discreetly — over drinks, in corridor conversations, on the telephone.For days before Coates resigned last Tuesday afternoon, the damaging story travelled like wind through a grain field.You could measure its progress by which ears were bending, but who knows the source of the wind, or its final destination?A Liberal strategist recounted “with barely supressed glee” his version of the tale, one Ottawa reporter recalled later.“This is really quite distasteful, nobody within the party would touch this with a 10-foot pole,” the Liberal staffer told the reporter while the story was still at the rumor stage.“Of course, if it’s published .” Meanwhile, staff in Coates’s office were doing their best to play down the rumors and discredit suspected sources of information.On Tuesday afternoon the Ottawa Citizen was the first to chase the story to the ground.“Defence minister’s bar visit queried,” said the newspaper’s headline.Three hours later, a shaken Coates had resigned his cabinet portfolio and started libel proceedings against the paper.For the second time this month there was a spectacular collision between the right of a politician to privacy and the right of the public, through the media and opposition parties, to assess a politician's performance.“It may all be very unfair,” concedes retired Senator Eugene Forsey, a vocal arbiter of the propriety of government and media.But some imperfect measure of performance in office is a necessary fact of life, Forsey adds.“A minister’s private life is not the business of the public — unless it interferes with the performance of his duties.” But the road to that determination is strewn with questions: —Were Coates and New Brunswick Premier Richard Hatfield martyred on the altar of a free press?—Was it a rude invasion to talk about the off-hours visit of a defence minister and two employees to Tiffany’s night club, a hangout of prostitutes; or to report that two university students signed sworn police statements claiming that Hatfield shared cocaine and marijuana with them in 1981 during an impromptu party at his house?—Conversely, would there not have been a greater violation of public trust for the media to agree en masse to suppress embarrassing information about either elected official?Darker questions loom as well.Were the media being used to do someone else’s dirty work?Is the RCMP or some other group trying to force Hatfield from office?Was there an element of political opportunism or revenge in the way the Coates story reached the media?And even if there was, does that outweigh the public’s right to know?On Wednesday, a bitter Hatfield made a televised statement denying as “false” the allegations first reported by Southam News that he had given drugs to the students.But he went further, to question the zealousness with which the RCMP and the Crown assembled a case of possession of marijuana against him after some of the substance had been found in September in his suitcase.DRUG PLANTED Hatfield was acquitted of the charge Jan.29 and he claimed Wednesday that the drug was planted to drive him from office.“It is my belief that whoever did this terrible thing were the same persons who orchestrated these new false accusations,” he told reporters.Hatfield implied that statements that two of the students had given the RCMP were later delivered to some reporters in unmarked brown envelopes.“Who sent these envelopes?” Hatfield asked.“Why were they sent?” In the Commons Wednesday, Liberal justice critic Robert Kaplan made an unsuccessful demand for a judicial inquiry.“One can only conclude that he (Hatfield) sincerely believes that a member or members of the RCMP are out to get him and have lied under oath .and that Justice (Department) officials have violated their duties in the timing of laying charges and in the conduct of that aspect of the prosecution,” Kaplan said.The Coates revelations also raise questions of motivation.Barrie Zwicker, a Toronto media critic and journalism professor, said he was disturbed that The Citizen listed Ingeborg Boyens — a speech writer on contract with Liberal transport minister Lloyd Axworthy until the September election — as one of three staff writers of the initial Coates story.Boyens, once a reporter for the Winnipeg Free Press, worked on a freelance basis on the story with two senior Citizen reporters, said Citizen managing editor Nelson Skuce.Skuce said he could not comment further because of the possible lawsuit.Zwicker said he saw nothing sinister about Boyen’s role but he felt The Citizen should have mentioned her recent position in Axworthy’s office.Earlier, Citizen publisher Paddy Sherman said flatly: “Our sources of information were not the Opposition.” ACTING RESPONSIBLY While limiting his comments because of the pending libel action, Sherman said The Citizen was not being used by anyone, but was carrying out its responsibility.“We were not making allegations .The version of our story was that the prime minister’s office has received reports in effect complaining about the conduct of a minister when he was on a tour of a NATO country,” Sherman said in a telephone interview.“If a complaint is made and taken seriously enough that the prime minister had an investigation made, then that’s a matter of reasonable public interest.” A senior Liberal aide says the opposition had been in the same boat as several Ottawa reporters investigating rumors of Coates’s trip to Lahr, West Germany.“Nobody had any hard facts.Obviously, we don’t have the money to send anybody to Lahr,” said the aide, who requested anonymity.Once the story was out, the Liberals, feigning suprise, began a persistent round of questioning.But they are treading lightly, limiting their queries to matters of national security and concerns over Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s actions since he first learned of the ill-starred trip on Jan.22.The Liberals and New Democrats have been careful not to appear to be prying out “any gory details,” as the Liberal aide put it.I don’t think an elected person’s personal life should be a factor unless it clearly affects his public life.” In both the Hatfield and Coates cases, this judgment call was left to the media And in both cases, they chose in varying degrees to pull back the veil.There are hidden motivations behind every leak to a reporter, Nick Hills, Southam News general manager, told CBC-TV Wednesday as he explained the decision to run the Hatfield allegations.Those motivations must be weighed against the public interest.The electorate.after all, has the final say.Hills added.Public figures do have to be more accountable, says Zwicker.But so must the media.The media has to be concerned about public perception of their role in these two cases,” says Zwicker.They must explain their reasons, their ethical dilemmas, their reservations, he says.Explain the story behind the story as they are telling the story." The RECORD—Tuesday, February 19, 1985—5 Farm and Business —____««I uecora World wheat crop sure to keep prices low By Clyde Graham The Canadian Press Canadian wheat farmers who live and die with the world price of their crop must be down-hearted at the latest news from London, Washington and Winnipeg.The London-based International Wheat Council estimates that farmers around the globe will grow about 515 million tonnes of wheat this year — about the same as the record harvest in 1984.A bumper harvest of that size is sure to keep wheat prices at their current low levels.And the news isn’t much better from Washington, where President Ronald Reagan is pressing ahead with a new farm bill that would drastically cut subsidies to American farmers.Those subsidies have been helping to prop up the price of wheat.“Any cut in that will spill over into Canadian prices,” says Allis-ter Hickson, head of Statistics Canada’s Grain Marketing Unit in Winnipeg.Hickson says the U.S.cuts alone could cost Canadian farmers a quarter of a billion dollars a yea r in lower wheat prices.“We will be doing well to hold prices where they are,’’ says Hickson.In 1983-84, western Canadian farmers, who export the bulk of their wheat, received $193.98 a tonne for No.l grade red spring wheat.That’s the second lowest price farmers have received in the last five years and well below the $222.12 farmers got back in 1980-81 Low grain prices are considered one of the major reasons 551 Canadian farmers declared bankruptcy last year — the highest number since the Depression.The low prices are the result of a world glut of wheat brought on by high production around the world.The European Economic Community, which became the second-largest wheat exporter after the United States last year, has been chided for using massive subsidies to encourage its farmers to iFocus on Farming - r y- -'g- *2.boost wheat production.“That’s the real culprit in the market,” says Hickson.In addition to the EEC’s effect on markets, some financially troubled countries eager for foreign currency were dumping wheat on world markets in January.“World wheat prices came under increased pressure during the month, as Argentina was particularly aggressive in disposing of its exportable surplus,” says a Statistics Canada report.EXPECT BIG CROP The wheat council says it’s still too early in the year to make accurate predictions, but barring unforeseen weather conditions, the 1985 world wheat crop will again be large.That opinion is bolstered by Statistics Canada, which says crop conditions in the Southern Hemisphere, where it is now summer, are generally good.Hickson says only a real disaster in a major grain-growing region, such as the Soviet Union or the United States, would have any impact on massive world stockpiles of wheat.For example, Canada is a leading wheat exporter and the sixth-largest producer in the world.But even a severe drought last year that baked the wheat belt in Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba had practically no impact on world prices.That’s because last year’s wheat production of 21 million tonnes was just a small slice of the 515million tonnes harvested internationally.“The crop problems we had last year were a spit in the bucket compared to the world crop,” says Hickson.Broke American farmers face spring crisis CHICAGO (Reuter) — American farmers, who as a group owe more than the combined indebtedness of Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, are heading for a crisis this spring as they go to the banks to borrow even more.In the view of one expert, as many as 15 per cent of U.S.farmers will be turned down when they ask for loans to prepare for this summer’s plantings of wheat, corn, soybeans and other crops.The alternative is bankruptcy, or a plea to their suppliers for some kind of creative refinancing.The prospect has spread a winter of discontent over the Midwest, which has some of the richest farming land in the world.“Agriculture is the largest industry in this country, and we are broke,” said Missouri farmer Carlos Welty, who helped organize a recent march on the Chicago commodities exchanges that was sponsored by the militant American Agriculture Movement.In St.Paul, Minn., 12,000 farmers recently marched arm-inarm with rural businessmen on the state Capitol, demanding relief from foreclosures.In Iowa and several other Midwestern states, the powerful Teamsters union is actively recruiting farmers to join it in a new lobbying force.On one Iowa farm, more than 100 protesting farmers and members of the United Auto Workers union swarmed over a debt-forced auction of farm equipment this winter, forcing its postponement.In Chicago, more than three dozen farm demonstrators were arrested when they marched on the world’s largest commodities exchanges, demanding a revision in trading rules they believe have unfairly depressed prices.Gov.Terry Branstad of Iowa, a Republican, went to Washington recently to call on President Ronald Reagan to make good on an election campaign promise to pro- vide government-backed loans to farmers.TURNING CRITICAL “We re coming up to an extremely critical time,” Neil Harl, a professor of economics at Iowa State University, said in an interview.“We have not in modern history faced this kind of situation.” Harl estimates that from eight to 15 per cent of the country’s farmers — about 10,000 in Iowa alone — will be denied spring-planting loans this year.Banks are already overextended.he said; they have lent out more than they can now recover since the collateral involved, the land itself, has fallen sharply in value.Farm bankruptcies further depress prices already lowered by deflation.Today, the total U.S.farm debt is estimated to be $210billion, more than the combined debt of the governments of Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, and second only to the U.S.government’s debt.High interest rates along with crop prices depressed by years of overproduction have burst a speculative bubble in which farmers bought more and more land on the theory that prices and production could only go up.The Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.says more than 230 of the United States’ 4,300 agricultural banks — those that do a sizable business with farmers — are in financial trouble.Some farmers say up to 10 per cent of family farmers have had to sell out in the last year to pay their debts.“We are forced to compete with the federal government for credit,” said Tom Curl, a farmer from Clinton, 111.“We have substituted credit for profit to the point where we’ve used up our equity.“Our net income the last several years has not been sufficient to even service the interest on that debt.” Economic thinking today : Is it really correct?How much of Canada’s economic thinking is based on what the noted economist Kenneth Galbraith called conventional wisdom — that is, myth not related to fact?A lot.To give just a few examples: A hot topic now is Canada’s interest rates, which seem to be rising.Conventional wisdom says this is essential because the value of the Canadian dollar must be protected.But is this really correct?It is, according to classical economic thinking, but other countries have let their currencies drop in value compared with the United States dollar so they could keep their interest rates down.This action improved their employment situation, since lower rates created economic activity.Japan and West Germany are examples.Another bit of official wisdom says the productivity of Canadian workers has dropped in the last decade or so because they demanded huge wage increases.It has and they did, but there’s no clear evidence that higher wages were the major factor in the productivity decline.BLAME MANAGEMENT Indeed, there is much to suggest that the problem lies with management for failing to invest in new machinery or to adapt to modern business methods.What about the theory, frequently heard, that Canada’s entire future depends on shifting to high technology?High tech is a magic phrase these does it really mean that Canada should turn to micro chips and ignore its wealth of forests, minerals, farmlands and fish?It's your business BY KEN SMITH Of course not.Sure, technological advances will have to be utilized but they will never be a cure-all for Canada’s economy, despite what some politicians and businessmen say.Free trade.Now that’s an issue that has been sitting around for more than a century, and conventional arguments on both sides have been so ingrained that the pundits respond like Pavlov’s dog to the sound of a bell.But what really is involved?Almost everyone agrees the international trading scene has changed radically in recent years, but no one has yet figured out what these changes mean for Canadians.The list is practically endless.The trouble is, what is fact for one official is myth for another.This situation was underlined at a recent forum sponsored in Toronto by the Conference Board of Canada.One of the speakers, David Vice, president of Northern Telecom Canada Ltd., said the current attitudes of Canadians to business, work and competing internationally were set largely in the 1950s.“They have little relationship with the mid-1980s,” he said.“Even with high unemployment, Canadian attitudes still reflect a response to easier times.” His answer?During 1977-82, he noted, a European study found Canada ranked last among 22 industrialized countries in productivity improvement.“During the same period, we pushed for and received higher and higher wages and salaries until we were being paid more than comparable workers in the U.S.“Perhaps we were worth it then.But not now.” Vice doesn’t blame labor, but he implies it should lay off demands for now.Gerard Docquier, national director for Canada of the United Steelworkers union, spoke next and said unions don’t need any further consciousness-raising about the need to be competitive.In view of changing world conditions, “it is in our mutual self-interest to co-operate in identifying the market opportunities, both domestic and foreign, that match this new form of production.” “We should then seek to mobilize our financial productive and human resources and begin the transition in that direction.” Both speakers, from presumably opposite sides of the fence, appear to be making essentially the same point.Why, then, are there so many myths around, and why can’t politicians and so-called experts get to the heart of the matter?Jam won’t hurt Seaway, says U.S.administrator WASHINGTON (CP) — The U.S.administrator of the St.Lawrence Seaway Development Corp.says he is optimistic the seaway will attract more business from European shipping clients in the coming season, despite a bridge incident that paralysed movement of more than 150 ships for up to 18 days late last year.James Emery, fresh from a joint trade mission of Canadian and American officials to five West European countries to promote the seaway system, said Friday he does not believe the shutdown has harmed the seaway’s reputation as Shu.Âlid a reliable network for moving goods.Emery told reporters that the trade mission took the offensive on the issue during its talks with existing and potential clients.It highlighted how the problem of the crippled bridge was corrected, as well as plans by the Canadians to ensure it doesn’t happen again.“We decided to hit it head on,” he said.“We took the offensive on that issue and I think we came out very positively on that.” Emery said he expects that the 18-day mission to Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and West Germany will result in new shipping business and that no customers have been lost because of the shutdown.Ships in the seaway that links the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean were blocked temporarily after the lift bridge at Valleyfield, Que., 65 kilometres west of Montreal, jam med half-open Nov.21.The seaway season was exteneded to allow the ships out after the bridge was reopened.The delegation, which documented the bridge incident in every presentation, made clear it was the first major development of its kind in the 25-year history of the seaway, Emery said.HUGE SUCCESS’ Emery had expressed some concern before departing on the European mission that the bridge problem might put a damper on attempts to sell the system to new customers.The trade mission by 28 American and Canadian representatives of governments, ports, industry and unions was the first time the countries have joined forces to sell the seaway abroad and Emery described the venture as a “huge success.” The group now is considering a similar promotional tour next spring to South America and some Mediterranean countries, Emery said, adding that the Caribbean and Africa might be included.“I feel it is a must that we (Canada and the United States) go together," he said.The joint effort gave the mission a higher profile in the countries visited.Emery also said he does not be lieve year-round shipping on the seaway will happen in his lifetime.Canada is prepared to consider an incremental extension of a couple of weeks to the end of the season, he said.But the main concern is whether such an extension will lead to increased tonnage moving through the system or merely the same amount of tonnage spread over a longer period.Emery said traffic is extremely light during July and August and some consideration might be given to offering incentive tolls to clients who use the seaway during the slow period.MAKER OF “ROBERT” WINDOWS

recall lists are still travelling Canadian roads as their owners either don't know or don’t care to bring them in for inspection, the federal government estimates.On average, only 60 per cent of recalled vehicles are returned to the dealer, shows a Transport Department analysis of recall campaigns in the last 10 years.Thousands of car owners don t realize their vehicles have been recalled or are ignoring the notice, said Marvin Keary of the department’s road safety and motor vehicle regulation directorate.“The older the model, the more difficult it is to trace down people.That's the major factor for the low return rate," he said.Keary cited the August, 1983 recall by Nissan of Datsun B210 hatchback coupes manufactured between 1974 and 1978, as an example.Nissan discovered that due to corrosion, the model’s gas tank may hang down on the driver’s side, creating the possibility of fuel leakage and the risk of fire.By December, 1984, only about 1.000 of the 19,800 vehicles in Canada recalled had been returned for repairs.GIGANTIC MOVING SALE INCREDIBLE REDUCTIONS ON QUALITY CLOTHING STARTING Thursday; FEBRUARY 21st ’85 Reg.Price Up To: $395.00 Special Price: (Pait-Hall and Ottier

liée N.B.: THIS SALE IS ONLY AT THE KING ST.SHOPPING CENTER ft—The RECORD—Tuesday, February 19, 1985 Living —_ mam Quebec: She don’t work that way By Graeme Decarie For Mainland Press Charley Stright, a New Brunswick lobster fisherman, is a friend of mine.Sort of scrawnily tough and with front teeth designed for eating corn on the cob, not even his mother would claim that the Lord gave Charley much in the way of looks.But what he missed in looks, Charley more than makes up for in common sense.I teach in a university in Montreal, so I don’t meet many people with common sense.I guess that’s why I like Charley.Whenever I get some bright idea from books written by ‘great’ thinkers, IT talk it over with Charley.Like as not, he’ll sit quietly for a minute or two, spit in a great arc over the lobster traps and into the water, and then say, “Nope, she don’t work that way.” And he’s usually right.She don't.I often wish Charley had been here in Quebec when I started teaching.I was fresh from studying at an Ontario university, learning all about Quebec from people who had never been here.So I guess I knew all there was to know.I knew that the English all lived in mansions in Montreal, and that the French were all poor and lived in the country or in the east end of Montreal.There was no doubt about it.Even the Governor-General agreed with this when he gave his annual award to a book called The English Fact in Quebec, and made its authors instant authorities.Almost daily, I met scholars and government researchers producing theories that got them quoted in the papers and interviewed on radio.Most said it was all a matter of culture.The English were rich, they said, because their culture made them businessmen This notion made such a hit with the provincial government that once, at a government reception, I was given a name tag on which I was asked to write my name and my culture.That was a little tough.My ancestors were Scottish, French.German, and Irish, so I didn't know whether my culture demanded that I wear a kilt, refuse to speak English, sing a drinking song, or pick a fight.Standing beside me was a friend named Jean-Paul Chang.He looked pretty confused, too.Then it came to me, a vivid men- tal picture of Charley Stright spitting in a great arc over the row of government officials at the head table, and saying, “Nope, she don’t work that way.” Ofcourse.it don’t work that way.And I should have known better.I grew up in a working class district of Montreal along with tens of thou sands of other English, and just like the tens of thousands of French around us.I went to teachers’ college at Macdonald along with hundreds of other English who not only weren’t rich : they weren’t even from Montreal.At least half were from smalltown and rural Quebec, from Huntingdon.Shawville, and the Gaspé.And if we had a culturally-inherited talent for business, we were sure keeping quiet about it.Teachers started in those days at $2,500 a year.WEREN’T BUSINESSMEN Forgetting all the theorists and government researchers, I went back to the census to get an idea of what the English were about.Surprise, surprise, they weren't historically businessmen or even Montrealers.As many as 80 per cent of them lived outside Montreal in the 19th century.As late as 1900, Montreal had only about half of the total English population.And of those in Montreal?Throughout the greater part of their history, most of them were working class, just like the English I grew up with.In fact, the more you look at it, the harder it gets to tell the difference between most English and most French.We’ve suffered the same economic hard times and enjoyed the same booms.We’ve danced to the same hit tunes and cursed the same climate.In the 19th century, both English and French got pushed off the farm and into the factory by the same changes in farming.In the 20th, we’re equally trying to keep jobs (or find them), and equally scared of the bomb.In fact, if it weren't for politicians and scholars telling us how different we are, we’d probably get along pretty well.It took me 20 years to get an education, and 10 more to learn some of the common sense that Charley Stright was born with.Next time you read some pearl of wisdom about Quebec by one of the many genuises supported by our tax dollars, think of Charley.You'll probably agree with him that, “She don’t work that way.” You can even spit if you like.Lifestyles roundup COWANSVILLE - Hugh MacMillan, Ontario Archives’ Liason Officer, will be guest speaker at the Canadian Club of

of life.DeRousie, 47, has been a lighthouse keeper since he was 19, making him the longest-serving one on the Pacific Coast.“1 love it but many would be bored by the routine,” he says.“And few could tolerate living in extended isolation with a handful of people.” The federal government is considering whether to continue automating Canada’s 272 lighthouses in the wake of a report that cited lighthouse keepers’ invaluable contributions to mariner safety.Paul LeBlond, an oceanographer with the University of British Columbia who headed an inquiry into the weather service after five fishermen drowned off Vancouver Island last October, says lighthouse keepers are the only source of local weather conditions available to mariners.Bert Ogden, of the United Fishermen and Allied Workers Union, says lighthouse keepers are the only human link fishermen have with the mainland and it is imperative their presence be maintained.PLANS RETIREMENT DeRousie tends the 100-year-old Active Pass station from a sundrenched arbutus grove on Mayue Island.He plans to retire there on a pension that will be 75 per cent of his $30.000 salary.He is West Coast shop steward for the Union of Canadian Transport Employees, which has been asking for a 40-hour work week for lighthouse keepers.But, says DeRousie, “I would say our people are 100 per cent unanimous in our opposition to (the 40-hour week).Our people are virtually on call 24 hours a day, but that is our way of life.“We feel that if hours of work become an issue, the government will say, ‘If a lighthouse can be unmanned for two days each week, then why can’t it be unmanned for the whole week.’” Ray Carrier, a service officer for the union, says Transport Canada — the federal department that employs lighthouse keepers — already requires a 40-hour work week.“We understand that if people are on isolated locations they can’t walk away from them at will and RICHMOND — There are some folks around who say young people don’t want to work these days.But here in this town where English-speaking senior citizens make up nearly 50 per cent of the senior population there’s a group of five who have proven folks wrong.France Bergeron, Brenda Blake and her brother Grayson, Leanne Lancaster and David Laprise came up with the idea of Home Helpers for English-speaking golden-agers, put it on paper and through the Centre de travail Québec got it approved and financed.They have acquired an office in the Knights of Columbus building on Main Street, a telephone which are virtually on call all the time,” he says.“But we don’t want them working over the designated hours.” DeRousie says he will be touring lighthouses around the coast to discuss work hours with other keepers.With automation, the number of keepers on Canada’s coasts has fallen to 438 from 703 in 1971.Almost all remaining manned lighthouses on the coast have two keepers each.Jerry Watson, senior keeper at the Point Atkinson lighthouse in West Vancouver, admits it’s not the life for everyone.“I have lots of people come to me and say, ‘It’s beautiful, I love it.’ I say, ‘Come back and see me in six is manned each day from 9 a.m.to 12 p.m.and have already built up a commendable clientel.“We have looked and looked for regular employment,” says Lancaster.“There just isn’t any.We were on a similar project last spring but it was geared mainly for the francophone clients with only two English-speaking young people serving the community.” Centre de Travail agreed there was a need for more English-speaking service in the area and with the center’s help the project was approved.The group specializes in heavier types of housework a senior citizen cannot undertake.Included in the months.’ By then, some of them say, T gotta get out of here.’” Watson, who grew up in a small town in Saskatchewan, fell in kve with the coast and has worked at seven lighthouses.He says Transport Canada isn’t keen on hiring bachelors — “they found they weren’t there long” — so the first thing to do is find a wife who can stand the isolation.Watson, 44, described the worst aspects of lighthouse life to wife, Kathy, and then asked her if she wanted to try it.“She agreed.After she’d been there a while, she said, This isn’t as bad as you made it out to be.’ “The attraction is just being by yourself.No boss looking over your shoulder.” long list of services offered is sitting with shut-ins, running errands and generally filling the gaps the senior citizen who still lives at home needs.The young men in the project shovel snow, do minor repairs and are already talking about customers who have reserved their talents for spring work such as removing double windows, etc.The charge for service to the customer is $1 per hour and any senior over 65 years of age needing assistance.especially those who are financially restricted, may call Monday through Friday (819) 826-5189.Home Helpers at work for Golden Agers Local scouts to mark founder’s birthday In January four Knowlton leaders — Cathy Simms, Ronald Raymond, Robert Page and René Fortin — attended the workshop at Danville.The course was Wood Badge Training Part 1.February 6 the Knowlton Beavers enjoyed a sliding party.The evening ended with refreshments.At the end of February the Beavers will be receiving new tails for their hats.The different colors designate the boys’ ages.Two new boys have joined the group.The weekend of Feb.9-10 the Knowlton Cubs held their winter camp at the Foster Community Center.They enjoyed cross-country skiing and skating.They had a special project of making Kub Kars from kits.Later they plan to have a Kub Kar race.On Feb.6 the Venturers went cross-country skiing.On Feb.10 they spent a Sunday down hill skiing at Glen Mountain.• • • What Is Scouting?Scouting is the largest youth organization in the world.There are members in 150 countries.In Knowlton there are four groups: Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers.Scouts of Canada is an entirely voluntary organization from the leaders of the groups to the members of the Committee who oversee the operation of each Scouting news from Knowlton group.Bovs can join the Beavers at the age of five and continue on through Scouting until the age of 17.Each group has a common promise that is to love and serve God.Ektept for Beavers, every one of the Scouting programs includes one or more steps on levels to which each member can work.There are badges and insignias which can be earned and worn on the uniform.These are a display of the boy’s achievements as they make progress.The intent of Scouting is to prepare the boys for a fuller, more meaningful role as an adult citizen.The boys are taught self-discipline, honesty, maturity, teamwork, fellowship, knowledge, confidence — values which will help them succeed in life.• • • Lord Baden-Powell The week of February 17-24 is devoted to honoring the founder of Scouting, Lord Robert Stevenson Smythe Baden-Powell, who was born Feb.22, 1857 in London, England.Baden-Powell was a great soldier and war hero, teaching many woodsman techniques to his men.In 1904 he was asked to improve a program for boys in Cadet Corps, which led to his writing a series of booklets entitled Scouting for Boys.Within two years Scouting grew from 20 boys to 80,000._ Baden-Powell was knighted in 1910 and in 1920 he became Lord Badfn-Powell of Gilwell.The first world Scout Jamboree was held in London in 1920 where Baden-Powell was proclaimed Chief Scout of the world.Baden-Powell died January 8, 1941 and is buried in Kenya.On February 23 the Scouts and Venturers of Knowlton will be attending the Scout Banquet at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal.There will be a special service on Sunday, February 24 (Scout Sunday) at Knowlton United Church at 11 a.m.All troops to attend in full uniform.Following the service, lunch will be served for the boys in the church hall.Making date loaf cake and hot potato salad Some more recipes from a reader who has

started out as Scotty Bowman’s night but Edmonton Oilers couldn't wait to become the life of the party.Wayne Gretzky and Glenn Anderson each scored twice to lead the Oilers to a 6-4 victory over Bowman's Buffalo Sabres in one of two National Hockey League games Monday night.Philadelphia dumped visiting Pittsburgh 8-2 in an afternoon game.The Edmonton triumph snapped a two-game losing streak for the Oilers and spoiled what had started out as a special evening for Bowman, honoring the general manager and head coach of the Sabres for becoming the NHL’s all-time leader in coaching victories.Bowman, 51, entered the record books earlier this season with his 691st career coaching victory.The previous record holder was the late Montreal coach Dick Irvine.“I felt sorry for Scotty because we beat him on his night,” said Edmonton coach Glen Sather."Under the conditions, though, I liked the win.” Bowman was philosophical about the defeat.“We’re not a team that can come from behind against Edmonton, although not many teams can,” he said.REAGAN TRIBUTE Prior to the game, the Buffalo coach received a trip to Florida presented by Sabres captain Gilbert Perreault, a painting from NHL president Ron Ziegler, and a congratulatory letter from U.S.President Ronald Reagan.Bowman said he was “fortunate as a coach to have so many skilled players and so many dedicated players.”

And so she should be Sunday’s race was the first for 10 of her 17 lugers, and only one didn’t finish.As well, seven of them posted personal bests.INCONSISTENT RUNS Kerridge.who has been competing for four years, was one of those who was fast in training but inconsistent in her runs “I wish I could have done better.My first run wasn’t too good but I had good second and third runs.“I expected the competition to be good, and it was,” she added Kerridge said she had been beating U.S.luger Toni Damigel-la in training all week but Dami-gella was more consistent on Sunday.In her three runs.Kerridge posted times of 39.6, 39.4 and 40 seconds respectively.Damigella was right on the mark with three runs of 39.6 seconds.“I would have liked to have been first or second but we’ll see how training goes this week,” Kerridge said.“Maybe on Saturday.” The Canadians are back on the track this Saturday for the second part of the two-weekend meet.DIDN’T EXPECT IT Labrecque.who finished third, couldn’t hide his surprise.“I really didn’t expect it.I expected to finish seventh or eighth I had a bad year and I haven’t been training very well.” Labrecque said part of the problem was changing sleds.He went to a new one earlier this year but found the steering too uncomfortable and switched back to his old one.As for Saturday, Labrecque has new confidence and hopes to better his bronze medal performance.“I’d like to finish better, I know I can now.I know we can do it as a team.” Brooker back on track after training run wins WHISTLER, B.C.(CP) — Todd Brooker, seeking his first Canadian men’s downhill ski championship, stamped himself as the nverwhelming favorite for Wednesday’s race by winning both training runs Monday at Whistler Mountain.The 25-year-old national team veteran, who said last week he planned to “smoke everybody,” and regain some confidence after an inconsistent winter in Europe, clocked times of two minutes 14.92 seconds and 2:15.11 over the fast, icy course.“There’s a few too many turns for my liking, too many speed control turns, but it’s a good course for us to be running on with the North American (World Cup) downhills coming up,” said the Paris, Ont.native.“It’s as smooth as a baby’s bottom." Don Stevens of Rossland, B.C., a rookie on Canada’s World Cup downhill team, was second to Brooker on both runs with times of 2:15.54 and 2:15.99.The lanky 21-year-old said alter a winter of skiing on some of the toughest and roughest World Cup courses, the Whistler downhill is a welcome change.“I like this course a lot.It’s really quite smooth.You can stay in your tuck and just let it go.” IMPROVES TIMING Stevens placed 26th in the first World Cup race of the season at Val Gardina, Italy, but has not mat ched that effort since, although he did finish 17th in a training run last week in Bad Kleinkireheim, Austria.Chris Mclver, also of Rossland, was third in the first run in 2:16.13 and 10th in the second with 2:18.51.The surprise of Monday’s training runs was 19-year-old Daniel Moar of Revelstoke, B.C., a development team member, who was seventh with 2:17.25 and 11th with 2:18.56 after starting from 27th spot in the 119-man field.Sport shorts ST.PETERSBURG, Fla.(AP) — Mets
