NO CLOSINGS Townshippers Association outgoing President Marjorie Goodfel-low stated Tuesday that the enrolment statistics were very encouraging for her and her colleagues.“This will hopefully mean that a number of schools which were on PQ finds friend in Ontario NDP By Paul Mooney QUEBEC (CP) — Bob Rae, leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party, says he will do “all he can personally” to bring Quebec into the 1981 constitutional accord.Inuit future in hands of Mulroney By Charles Bury SHERBROOKE — Inuit and fe-deral representatives are “working very closely together” on their parallel investigations into the possibility of returning a native band to the arctic homeland they were expelled from in 1978.But Tony Price, Indian affairs and Northern Development Minister David Crombie’s personal investigator into the Killiniq question, say s he will not be the one who decides whether or not the long-hoped-for return goes ahead, possibly as early as next summer.The Inuit are the Killiniq people, forced by the federal government out of their ancestral village of Port Burwell, on Killiniq Island off the Ungava Bay shore, and relocated like refugees in six other Inuit settlements in northern Quebec.Ottawa said at the time that the 150-strong hunting, fishing and trapping settlement was too small to service efficiently.The Killiniq Inuit were unwelcome in their new homes, threatening to overcrowd the fragile villages, disrupting their traditional social structures and putting too much pressure on the all-essential local wildlife resources of the communities.NEW FRIENDS Without hope for seven years, the Killiniq Inuit found new friends in high places last year when the Tories took over the federal government from the long-reigning Liberals.John Turner gave way as prime minister to the member of Parliament for Manicougan, a sprawling riding which includes all of northern Quebec as well as Brian Mulroney’s own home village, the pulp and paper town of Baie Comeau.Sept.3, 1984, on the eve of his landslide election, the last group of citizens to meet Mulroney were representatives of the Killiniq people and Makivik, the northern Quebec Inuit council.The Inuit got no promises but they must have struck a chord with Mulroney.Informal research on the expulsion of the Killiniq people continued for several months in the section of the prime minister’s office (PMO) responsible for riding affairs.Meanwhile, Indian Affairs and Northern Development Minister Crombie was also brought into the picture.This summer Crombie named Quebec City lawyer and businessman Price as his “man on the spot” in the Killiniq file, according to Deputy Minister Neil Overend Price’s job: to look into every aspect of the possible return of the Killiniq Inuit to their island and bring concrete proposals to the minister’s desk by January 1986.TO EARLY TO SAY Tuesday, Price, who has wide experience in native affairs, was back at his own desk in Quebec City after a northern visit of several days in which he took a first look at the situation.He said it is “way k>o early” to make any specific comments on his findings, but added that he is working hand in hand with Makivik.the Inuit representative council.Price praised the council, which See ENTIRE page 3 Rae said in a telephone interview he supports recognition of Quebec as a distinct society and its right to opt out of federal programs with financial compensation.The NDP leader, whose support is crucial to Ontario Premier David Peterson's minority Liberal government, said many Canadians aren't concerned with constitutional issues.“But they want a resolution to the problem, and there’s enough good will that a settlement can be reached.” Rae said.Quebec is the only province which did not sign the agreement reached between Ottawa and the other provinces.“I believe there’s a willingness to recognize that Quebec is unique, and a real wish to make some progress,” Rae said.But he warned the possibilities for a settlement aren’t endless.“I think that once the Parti Québécois leadership race and the next Quebec election are over, we should set a very specific timetable and begin negotiations,” he said.EXEMPTIONS DEBATABLE Rae said he would not oppose Quebec’s right to exemptions from some sections of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.‘‘But obviously if Quebec wanted to be exempt from almost the entire Charter, it would be unacceptable,” Rae said.The Quebec government tabled constitutional proposals in May.They proposed broad new powers for the provincial government, and exemptions from all but two sections of the charter.Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson, the front-runner in the current race to replace Premier René éevesque, has said Quebec’s Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms should take precedence in the province.Rae was a federal MP during constitutional negotiations in 1981, and voted for the agreement.‘‘But w'atching those negotiations as a backbencher in the House of Commons, I became profoundly concerned about the affect they had in Quebec,” Rae said.Rae said Quebec's right to opt out of some federal programs with financial compensation has proven itself in some areas and could be extended to others during negotiations.EDUCATION SPECIAL The province’s desire to retain control over post-secondary education is an example of an area where Quebec’s special nature could be recognized, he said.The NDP leader said Quebec-Ontario relations ‘‘went to seed” after the May 1980 referendum and constitutional negotiations, but both provinces would profit if ties were strengthened.‘‘We have an interest in stronger bilateral relations,” Rae said.“For example, we have a serious shortage of French-speaking health-care professionals, espe cially in Northern Ontario — speech therapists, doctors, etcetera — and Quebec can help us in those areas.” the borderline of closing down will be able to remain open,” she said."When a school closes down English parents tend to drift away, and English eventually dies out in the community.This, of course, is never a healthy sign for those of us who are interested in maintaining a strong English- speaking population in the Townships, and that's why these statistics are such good news." Goodfellow warned that the battle to keep English alive in the area is not over, however, but just beginning."One swallow does not make a summer, and we still have some difficult years to live through in the future," she said “But these statistics certainly give us some hope that we can eventually win the fight.” Early kindergarten enrolment numbers for the ETSB have been See KINDERGARGTEN page 3 dollar ms « ci RECORD/PETER SCO WEN A Quebec Aviation Piper Navajo gets a pint of oil Tuesday as regular commercial flights began taking off and landing at Sherbrooke's out- of town airport in East Angus.Story, page 3.^ ul °J $900 million bank-saving bill to go to taxpayers OTTAWA (CP) — The gover nment’s decision to fully protect all depositors following the collapse of one bank and the possible failure of another could cost taxpayers close to $900 million.The government pulled the plug on the Edmonton-based Canadian Commercial Bank on the weekend and said it may have to do the same to Calgary based Northland Bank, which it also seized, if a solution to its shaky financial situation is not quickly found.But Barbara McDougall, minister of state for finance, Tuesday defended the decision to protect all depositors, saying that by keeping their funds in the bank the depositors had co-operated in the doomed effort to keep the two banks viable.“We’ve attempted to come to a solution in what is not a happy situation and it will be a costly one — I’m not trying to hide that,” she said at a news conference to explain Ottawa’s actions.Deposits of up to $60,000 are automatically insured through the federal Canada Deposit Insurance Corp.through premiums paid by financial institutions.Deposits beyond that level are not insured.But McDougall said the government will also protect the $420 million in uninsured deposits at Canadian Commercial and, if necessary.the$470 million at Northland.Some of that money could later be recovered through the sale of the banks’ assets, she noted, saying “the total cost will only become apparent over time.” Opposition MBs, however, criticized the decision to fully protect those with deposits of more than $60,000, arguing that they are professional investors.Aideen Nicholson, Liberal MP for Trinity and party spokesman on the issue, questioned whether the money is going to those in greatest need.SOME VULNERABLE “The depositors are primarily businesses who are in a position to assess the risk, but the shareholders have been totally unprotected and I think there are vulnerable people there.“For instance, the shareholders include pension plans .and I think that should have been looked at as well,” she said in a telephone interview from Vancouver.Gordon Stick, a financial analyst at the University of Alberta, said Commercial Bank shareholders are “up the creek.” “Basically, shareholders will be plastering the walls with (their stock certificates) because there’s nothing left for them.'' According to the office of the superintendent of banks, shareholders are last in line to recover any of their investment and will likely get nothing from the sale of the assets of the banks.The major shareholders include pension funds of Air Canada, Alberta Government Telephone employees, Great West Life Assurance Company, Caisse de Depot and Canadian National Railways as well as a teachers’ pension fund.However, while not naming names, Neville Grant an official in the superintendent’s office, said the uninsured depositors who are being protected also include some pension funds, as well as unions, and large corporations.Nelson Riis, New Democratic Party finance critic, also asked why the government is bailing out big depositors.“If you look at the depositors of the CCB, there are very few ladies in tennis shoes, almost all of them are commercial deposits.“We’re talking about sophisticated banking people, sophisticated financiers,” the Kamloops-Shuswap MP said.‘‘They knew what they were doing, they knew also, I suspect, that the government of Canada would bail them out if they failed anyway.” And with the government’s plan to open up the banking system in Canada to more competition, there’ll probably be more bank failures, he said.“The question we have to ad- dress is to what extent do the taxpayers of Canada continue to bail out failures.” At the news conference in Ottawa, McDougall said that there are no other banks facing the same problems as Canadian Commercial and Northland.But she made it clear that any future government decisions on whether to support a bank and whether to protect all depositors will be made on a case-by-case basis.TOUGH DECISION William Kennett, inspector general of banks, who attended the news conference with McDougall and Bank of Canada Governor Gerald Bouey, indicated it was a tough decision to pull the plug and force Canadian Commercial under.“You don’t close down a bank easily,” he said.But what the bank discovered after a $255 million bai lout package had been put.together last March was that it was unable to sell its poorly performing loans for as much as it had expected.24 hurt as IRA shell police centre BELFAST (AP) — The Irish Republican Army blasted the training centre for Northern Ireland’s police force with mortar fire today, slightly injuring 24 people.At least three mortar shells hit the base at Enniskillen in southwestern Northern Ireland early this morning.Reporters on the scene said shells hit the roof, kitchen and guardhouse of the base, where recruits of the mostly Protestant Royal Ulster Constabulary are trained.A fire broke out and cars were damaged, they said.Police said the 24 injuries were minor.The shells, believed set to a timing device, were fired from a truck parked across the nearby Erne river, police said.Police said the truck had been stolen from a family the night before, and that the family was held hostage overnight to prevent them from alerting authorities.The IRA claimed responsibility Dinghy found near Rainbow linked to French secret service PARIS (Reuter) — A rubber dinghy found in Auckland harbor after the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior was bought in London by a French secret service agent, Le Monde said Tuesday.The newspaper said one of three French agents wanted by New Zealand police for questioning about the bombing of the Greenpeace ship purchased the dinghy in London on May 29.The three, identified by an offi- cial French report as combat frogmen employed by the secret service, were aboard a chartered yacht near New Zealand just before the sinking.They disappeared soon after being questioned briefly by New Zealand police but last week surfaced in Paris where they reported to police and were immediately set free.Two other French agents arres- ted in New Zealand have been charged with murder and sabotage.Le Monde said one of the three crew members, Gerald And ries, Visited London under the name Eric Andreine before travelling to the Pacific and bought the dinghy.The article said Andreine met at least one Frenchman and woman during his stay in London and that hotel records showed he phoned an office of the French secret service.The name also closely resembled another alias used by Andries during his time in the South Pacific.The dinghy was found abandoned with two oxygen tanks for divers soon after the July 10 sinking of the Greenpeace vessel in which one person died.Witnesses said they saw the dinghy floating near the Rainbow Warrior on the night it was sunk for the attack in a statement to news media in

women who don’t smoke, a special committee of experts appointed by the federal government said in a report made public Tuesday.The committee strongly recommended more explicit warnings about the rare but serious adverse side effects of oral contraceptives, and it stressed the importance of keeping doses of the hormone estrogen in the pills fairly low — preferably 35 micrograms a day.Un the other hand, the experts said women should be aware that birth conntrol pills also have side effects that are beneficial.It reduces some kinds of menstrual problems, pelvic inflammatory disease and the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus.And it appears to reduce the risk of cancer of the ovaries and ovarian cysts, benign lumps in the breast and rheumatoid arthritis.Ottawa’s outside advisers on the committee included some of the country’s leading obstetricians and gynecologists.The report issued Tuesday was an update of earlier reports issued in 1970,1975 and 1978.Birth control pills are used by an estimated one million women in Canada and many millions more around the world.The Pill is the clear choice of younger Canadian women who practise birth control, while sterilization is preferred by many older women or their partners.The committee said it’s regre-tahle that “highly sensationalis- Peter Roberts replaces ‘non-fired’ Porteous OTTAWA (CP) — Peter Roberts, Canada’s ambassador to the Soviet Union, will replace Timothy Porteous as director of the Canada Council effective Oct.1, Communications Minister Marcel Masse said Tuesday.“His appointment will enable the Canada Council to carry out its mandate with renewed vigor and effectiveness,” Masse said in a news release.The minister also reaffirmed “the principle of the council’s autonomy," a principle Porteous said had fallen by the wayside in past months.Porteous, who called a news conference in July to announce the government was firing him as head of the government-funded arts council, said the long established “arms-length” tradition of arts funding in Canada was in “serious jeopardy.” “If present trends are allowed to continue, the Canada Council’s leadership role in the arts will be permanently damaged or destroyed,” Porteous said.Roberts, who has held the ambassadorship since 1983, has extensive knowledge of the arts, having served as assistant undersecretary of state for cultural affairs in the Secretary of State Department from 1973 to 1979.In July.Porteous said no reasons had been given for his dismissal and he did not request any.However.he refused to be specific when asked for details of his conversa- tion with deputy communications minister de Montigny Marchand, whom Porteous said told him his position was being terminated.Masse said Marchand’s version of events was quite different from that of Porteous.WJien asked whether Porteous had been fired, Masse replied in French, “Mr.Porteous, to my knowledge, was not fired.” Porteous, appointed council director in 1982 and a former aide to Trudeau, had had battles over funding with the former Liberal government— battles that continued after the election of the Conservatives a year* ago.He complained at the July news conference about political interference in arts funding by Masse, who he said was increasingly handing out funds to arts groups instead of allowing the council to decide how much individual artists and groups should get.The council is the government’s main distributor of funds to cultural organizations.Porteous also said the advice of council chairman Maureen Forrester was consistently ignored and that she had not been consulted about his dismissal or a replacement.Dozens of people representing such agencies as the National Arts Centre, National Gallery of Canada and non-governmental arts concerns appeared at Porteous's news conference to applaud his criticisms of the government.New PQ leader ‘changes things’, Liberals admit QUEBEC (CP) — A victory by the Quebec Liberal party in the next provincial election campaign won’t be so easy after the Parti Québécois has a new leader, the Liberals chief election organizer said Tuesday.“Yes, things have changed,” Fernand Lalonde told a news conference.“It’s (the election) not in the bag and we’ll have to work harder than we expected to in the spring, but we can still win a comfortable majority.” Polls last June suggested the Liberals would have won a massive majority had an election been held then with Premier René Lévesque still at the head of the PQ.With a new PQ leader to be chosen Sept.29, it’s a different ball game, Lalonde acknowledged.Liberal Leader Robert Bourassa recently admitted internal polls show the PQ has picked up a few popularity points since the spring.Like Bourassa, Lalonde says the PQ upswing is “a temporary phe-momenon because of the visibility of the leadership campgaign.” Justice Minister Pierre Marc Johnson is expected to easily win the leadership campaign.RECRUIT MEMBERS Lalonde denied the Liberals are worried federal Tories would support Johnson who is often identified with his father, former premier Daniel Johnson, leader of the conservative rural-based Union Nationale.“If some old Blues (Tories) feel more comfortable with Johnson, I can’tblamethem,”hesaid, “Some might work for the PQ but the majority still support us.” The Liberals have $5 million in their electoral war chest and 260,000 party members.The PQ has only 128,000 members after an intensive recruiting drive that ended Aug.15.It collected just over $2 million in its spring fund-raising campaign.So far, the Liberals have not attracted any big-name candidates in the more than 100 ridings that have already held nominations.There are 122 seats.But Lalonde said the party is “negotiating” with star candidates who don’t like to declare before the election is called.—_____ftgi itccora George MacLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Schelb, Advertising Manager.569-9525 Mark

keep population down, new report says tic” media reports of adverse effects have caused many young women not to use oral contraceptives.When both the risks and benefits are put into perspective, most healthy young women should not be discouraged from using The Pill, it said.The report proposed new package inserts for birth control pills that contain more detailed and explicit warnings of possible medical problems that could arise.Current inserts mention only symptoms to watch for, such as a pain in the leg.The new inserts follow the lead of U.S.health authorities and mention both symptoms and possible causes, in this case a blood clot in the leg MORE DETAILS The report also included a draft of a booklet with more detailed information that is to be given to women thinking about using The Pill for the first time.Both publications were prepared with the help of federal health officials and the pharmaceutical industry.Most of the publicity about bad side effects has centred on cardiovascular problems caused by The Pill and on two recent studies — one of them since discredited —-that suggested a link with breast cancer.The committee said the risk of cadiovascular problems such as blood clots in the lungs or legs, strokes or heart attacks increases in women over the age of 35 and in women of all ages w'ho smoke more than 15 cigarettes a day.For non-smokers age 35 or less, the risk of death from side effects of the Pill is lower than the risk of death from pregnancy.Another study estimated that the number of deaths linked to birth control pills in the United States could be trimmed to 70 a year from the current estimate of 500 if pill users didn’t smoke and switched to other methods of contraception at age 35.The synthetic hormones in the pills are presumably the cause of cardiovascular problems.The committee suggested that the daily estrogen content be no more than 35 micrograms.The trend in the last several years has clearly been in favor of 35-microgram doses instead of the higher doses that dominated the market as late as 1980.The committee said 50-microgram pills should be used only when lower doses aren’t satisfactory, and doses higher than 50 micrograms should be considered only in unusual circumstances.On the subject of breast cancer, the report said credible studies involving fairly large groups of women have shown no increase in risks due to The Pill.However, there is still concern about women with a family history of breast cancer or who ha ve a personal history of benign breast disease.The committee said all women should have thorough breast examinations by their doctors when oral contraceptives are first prescribed, and they should do periodic self-examinations.Titanic the most difficult wreck ever found By Rick Hampson NEW YORK (AP) — There are richer ones, older ones and deeper ones, but of all the thousands of shipwrecks in all the Earth’s oceans, seas and lakes, R.M.S.(Royal Mail Ship) Titanic was the one every treasure hunter dreamed of finding.“Everyone's heard of the Titanic,” said Dr.Harold (Doc) Edgerton.a pioneer in the use of underwater detection equipment.“They’va written plays, books and songs about it.” “It’s the most difficult wreck that’s ever been found," Robert Marx, a leading treasure salvor, said Tuesday.“You're talking about mission impossible.Nobody has ever found anything that deep.” A French-American team of scientists claims to have found and videotaped the luxury liner, which struck an iceberg and sank on its maiden voyage 73 years ago, in 4,000 metres of water about 367 nautical miles off Newfoundland.“These are legitimate people: they're not wild .treasure hunters,” said Marx, who found the Spanish galleon Maravillasin 1972 in the Bahamas.There have been decades of speculation about the ship’s location and condition, and especially about the value of its contents.The Titanic was the biggest and most luxurious liner of its time, and its more than 1,500 victims included American financier John Jacob Astor.industrialist Benjamin Guggen- heim and Isidor Straus of Macy’s.FORTUNE UNLIKELY A fortune in jewels and other valuables is rumored to have gone down with them.But Clive Cussler, author of the novel Raise the Titanic! said he believes there is no fortune, mostly because first-class passengers had time to collect their valuables and the lifeboats to escape.Marx said that may miss the point.“Each tea cup is going to be worth a fortune,” he said.What, he was asked, would salvors, who now get $1,000 for a German U-boat periscope lens, ask for a life preserver from the Titanic?“Whatever the market will bear,” he said.The Titanic itself will never be raised, Cussler and Marx agreed.“It’s just so bloody big,” Marx said.Cussler, whose fiction told of the raising of the ship, estimated the cost of doing it at $3 billion to $4 billion.Marx said pieces and contents of the ship could be recovered “with robots using tools or explosives.” Scientist Robert Ballard, a member of the search team, told his office any attempt at salvage would be “ridiculous.” The French-U.S.team proposed a marine memorial site of the Titanic.HULL IN GOOD SHAPE In a radio conversation with Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, where he works, Ballard said the Titanic’s hull was in such good condition it appeared to be a “ museum piece.” He designed the remotely controlled craft that carried a TV camera to the wreck.It is unclear who owns the Titanic.Under admiralty law, a ship's owner retains right to the wreck unless he abandons it, or unless an extraordinarily long period of time has passed since the sinking.Normally, courts allow salvors some share of their findings — an issue that may be irrelevant if the French-U.S.team elects not to work the wreck.Texas oil millionaire Jack Grimm, who led three expeditions in search of the Titanic, said he considered the U.S.-French find a “confirmation of our discovery.We have all the rights to it.” There was some question as to what he discovered.In 1981, his expedition returned with a photo of what Grimm said appeared to be a ship’s propeller.Critics said it looked like a rock.In 1983, Grimm abandoned his last attempt, saying, “The ocean was heaving, the ship was heaving and all hands were heaving .” But he said sonar indicated a shape “similar to a ship’s bow and sides” at the bottom of an undersea canyon.“We gave them the benefit of all our information about where it was on the ocean,” he said this week.“They have no claim to it.In 1981, when we found the propeller, we staked our claim to the wreck.” News-in-brief Quebec road deaths up in 1985 MONTREAL (CP) — More police presence is needed to decrease traffic deaths and injuries in Quebec, the province with the.highest road death rate in the country, says the province’s automobile insurance board.A recent three-month study by the board said traffic deaths in Quebec had increased 22 per cent during the first three months of 1985.No progress in air strike talks MONTREAL The RECORD—Wednesday.September 4, I9K5—5 Education —____tel Kocora New ETSB has boss who strives for unity By William Harris LENNOXVILLE — Through an extremely complicated series of mergers and annexations over the past three years, there is now only one English-language school board in southeastern Quebec.For Tom Matthews, the man who is now the Eastern Townships School Board's director of elementary and secondary educational services, the most important aspect of his new job will be to help every school feel comfortable and at home in the expanded structure."Before the partial merger of boards in July 1983, and the finalization of the merger last spring, there were serious secondary-elementary divisions, as well as very clear geographical divisions as far as education in the area was concerned," Matthews said in a recent interview.“We don’t only want to be one board' in terms of economics and efficiency, but in psychological terms as well.” With schools which range in size from Alexander Galt Regional High School to Cookshire Primary, however, it will be tough to develop a sense of togetherness.But Matthews still feels that improved communication and consultation will be the key.SHARE IDEAS “The first thing we have to do is meet together on a regular basis,” said Matthews.“When teachers and administrators from the various schools get together to share ideas, little bonds are made.” “The main philosophy of the new ETSB will be not only to exploit the economy as one system, but to exploit the differences within our system as well," he added.“Sherbrooke Primary is not in the same class or category as Sawyerville Elementary, for example, and no one expects them to be exactly the same.We do, however, want them to have the same educational goals.” The final consolidation of the ETSB couldn't have come at a better time, as statistics from across the Eastern Townships are reporting significant increases in kindergarten enrollment this year (see story page 3).Matthews can see three major reasons for these gains.“First, the big exodus of English Quebecers is over, and new businesses in the area have actually been bringing people in,” he said."Second, the relaxation of Bill 101 and the Canada Clause of the Constitution are allowing parents the choice of educating their children in English; and third, the French programs in our schools have been greatly improved.Parents who have been educating their kids in French are now more comfortable sending them to our schools.” CREDITS AUGER Matthews credits ETSB Director General Hugh Auger with the board’s rejuvenated interest in second-language education.“Hugh took a trip to Germany several years ago, and he saw German schools which were producing bilingual and even trilingual graduates,” Matthews said.“There has always been this big myth in Quebec that the schools will never be able to teach anyone a second language, but we don’t feel that this is true.We’ve developed a special French program in all our elementary schools, and we’re going to be improving our secondary system in a similar fashion over the next few years.” Overall, Matthews is very pleased with the new ETSB, and is extremely optimistic about its chances for long-term success.“It’s really hard for me to condense everything that’s going on in our schools into capsule form for a newspaper article like this,” he said.“All I can say is that parents and other people should get involved and see for themselves what’s happening.We’re very proud of what we do." RH ORDPIRR-! BliATON Tom Matthews says that improved elementary school French programs are a major reason why enrollment is now on the rise.Direction key for first- and second-year students Well, we’re back.Me and quite a few other Champlain students have been going to classes since August 27, and at this very moment Bishop’s University people are just finishing registering for the Fall Semester.Bishop’s classes start tomorrow.Things are naturally a bit hectic.Newcomers to Champlain are still trying to find out where everything is, while the multitudes of students desiring course changes have been scurrying around for the last few days trying to meet the deadline.There is help for the former students: a Freshman Advisor, dedicated to showing the in’s and out’s of college life.If you are new to Champlain and missed being matched up with a faculty or staff member, copies of the list of choices are on the shelves in the entrance hall of the Student Development Center — which is in McGreer, behind the main stairs.As for those people still trying to obtain a course change, you’d better scurry, because today is officially the last date for the operation.Campus News By Jennifer Epps EXPLORATIONS One program especially designed to permit students to experiment in different disciplines is Explorations, a non-diploma program with no required pattern of courses.The credits can usually go towards a D.E.C.in some other program when one is chosen.They can take the form of complimentary credits.But very few students actually take the Explorations program, Cutting relates, because “they tend to come into a CEGEP fairly goal-directed.You tend to have students who figure, I’ve finished high school.I should decide.’ ” FRUSTRATED TEACHERS Academic Advisor Melanie Cutting admits that only four days for the course change period may not be enough for some students or may induce over-hasty decisions.But she maintains that “the first two days are very busy, and then it trickles off.So it must be that students accommodate themselves” to the amount of time given.If it were longer, teachers would become frustrated without a final, definite, class list, and students joining a course in progress would have missed too much.Other CEGEPS do not, perhaps, have to carry out so many course changes, Cutting speculates, but then, “most CEGEPS have a totally different system of registration.” They don’t select their courses until August, just before classes begin.“We like to think of our system as a humane system,” she smiles.“Students get to relax over the summer, knowing their courses have been chosen." Some of the course changes performed at Champlain are due to students having decided to change programs.While the majority of students will stay in the same program during their studies at the college, Cutting says, a certain number decide they should be in another line of learning.In some cases it is because “they thought they were heading in one direction in high school and then they get to CEGEP and their grades start slipping" and they find out they’re not really interested in that area after all.Or sometimes the original program choice was influenced by parental wishes rather than the student’s own aspirations The cause might also be a “misapprehension of what a certain career is,” and then when the truth is revealed, the student decides to go after something else.Cutting believes the selection of a CEGEP program is “a difficult decision to make" and that students changing their minds at this age is perfectly understandable “Their interests are not static.” She does feel that CEG EP, a "bridge” between high school and university, does a good job of helping students discover where their interests really lie.Because Champlain is lenient regarding which categories of credits have to be fulfilled in which semester, "in your first year you could take a whole variety of things" without losing any credits.David Sangster, a second-year Champlain student who changed from the Health Sciences to Explorations in his second semester, and is now in the Social Sciences, thinks first-year students should seriously consider Explorations.That way they won’t waste a semester or a whole year discovering they don’t really want the career they thought they did.Sciences had always interested Sangster and he had done well in the Math, Physics and Chemistry courses he had taken all though high school.“Somewhere in the back of my mind ever since I was a kid I wanted to be a doctor,” he says, so he enrolled in Health Sciences.After he got his final marks for his first semester, he decided “not to waste” the next term and he registered in Explorations.In this way he was able to take one course from each program he thought he “might be interested in.” THE MIND’S IMPORTANT His schedule included a Data Processing course, a Commerce offering, and Philosophy.“Philosophy interested me the most.I learned that the mechanics of life are not very important: biology, the human body.” Now he holds that “the mind is what’s important.” So he is in the Social Sciences program, studying Psychology, Sociology, and, of course.Philosophy, and he is looking forward to a possible future of teaching and writing books.Judi Brown, a second-year student who changed from Pure and Applied Sciences to Creative Arts after last term, had considered taking Explorations when she was first registering at Champlain because she was unsure of which direction she wanted to take in her studies.“It went through my mind that it might be the best thing, but then I thought, ‘Nah, take something real.’ ” She decided with Pure and Applied she could still keep her options open."I thought I could get this wonderful DEC in the Sciences and then if I liked the Sciences I could go on to that, and if not, I could study anything I wanted to at university.” Like Sangster, a course in Philosophy was instrumental in Brown’s final choice.In her science courses, she kept feeling, “They're telling me what to think." When she got into Philosophy in her second semester, “it was so different.You had to think for yourself, and contri- bute in class." Then, “I decided I wanted to study filmmaking” at university, and "I wanted to get a background in that somehow." Some people scoffed at her radical alteration in programs, but friends from John Abbott College who were in Creative Arts cheered.KNOWS GOALS Mike Prévost, who took a year off after high school, is now in his first year at Champlain.He is glad he took the time out because now he knows just what he wants to do — go into social work.Many of his acquaintances who are in their second year at CEGEP looked down on him for his absence from academia, but they have not been able to formulate their career goals.Cutting notes: “Typically, people who come back to CEGEP, (whether they have tried it before or not) after working or taking some time off, have a much clearer idea of what they want to do and go at it with a lot more vigor.” ••• Several students’ loan cheques from the government have arrived at Champlain.The list of names is hanging on the bulletin board at the foot of the big stairs in McGreer Hall.Meanwhile the Quebec government has extended its deadline for application for loans and bursaries, formerly June 30.to September 30.Application forms arc available at the Records Office, Room 220 McGreer.Renowned mountain-climbers and Champlain Phys.Ed.instructors Norm Lapierre and Bob Laderoute are busy once again offering students fantastic opportunities in the outdoors.This past May they took nine Champlain and Bishop’s students up Alaskan Mt.McKinley, the highest point in North America — and then presumably back down again, although I don't think I’ve seen any of the participants lately.Now the two men are providing two exciting excursions to Champlain students.One is a full-credit Phys.Ed.course Lapierre will be teaching in Val D’Isère, France, during the Spring Break — Alpine Skiing in the Alps ! The other is a Cross-Canada Cycling Tour which Laderoute is organizing for May and June of 1986.If you’d like to get in on either of these great-sounding trips, see the teacher involved in his office right away: Lapierre in Sports Complex Room 108, Laderoute in Room 107.There will be an important meeting for Laderoute's potential bikers in the Sports Complex Conference Room on Thurs.Sept.5 at 7 p.m.The following Thursday a free 9'/^ minute slide show on the Mt.McKinley Experience will be presented inCentennial Theatre at 7:30 p.m.for participants and also all those who'd like to find out how’ the trip went.Lapierre describes the climb as "very successful, ” but is not planning it again.It was the first time a CEGEP or univer sity had ever organized such an ambitious project, and Lapierre calls it “a once in a lifetime experience." It was extremely expensive $50,000 had to be raised — and it required a full two years of preparation.He maintains there is no way you could take a group on an expedition like that w ithout an incredible amount of effort and elbow grease beforehand.He thinks some of the students who participated might try climbing mountains again later in life, but says: “one thing for sure is that these people will have an interest in the outdoors." University program will aid African development By Laurel Sherrer SHERBROOKE - With the help of a $5.5 million grant from the Canadian International Development Agency, and a $180,000 grant from the provincial government, the University of Sherbrooke is offering a graduate degree in cooperative action, aimed at tea ching people in Africa how to set up and manage co-operative ventures.The courses for the Diplôme d'études supérieures en action cooperative (DESCOOP) will take place in the African country of Benin, with six professors being sent from Quebec in the first year to work along with African professors.Each year 25 to 35 students from 15 francophone African countries will be accepted for the three-year course.The countries involved are Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, the Central African Republic, Ivory Coast, Gabon, Burkina Faso (formerly Upper Volta), Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Tchad, Togo and Zaire.Hermance Pouliot, who is one of the people directing the program from the University of Sherbrooke, says the program is a more sensible approach to encouraging development in Africa.BETTER OVER THERE “From 1971 to 1981 CIDA was offering scholarships to allow Africans to come here to study,” she said.“That system was evaluated and they decided it would be better to do it over there," because of such things as adaptation difficulties for students.There are many good university programs in African countries, she said, but they tend to concentrate on traditional fields, producing lawyers and economists, rather than the administrative experts the countries need.“There’s a great Hermance Pouliot.a more sensible approach.weakness at that level." she said.Co-operatives are companies that arc owned by the people who work there, and arc considered one of the best ways to develop Africa, said Pouliot.She says the program aims to be independent of Canadian support within six years, with the African countries involved assuming more of the financing each year.The African countries together are already paying $6 million toward the project, said Pouliot.The University of Sherbrooke is directing the program and training the professors to be sent because it already has an institute of research and instruction for cooperatives.and offers the only masters degree in co-operation in Canada The courses leading to the degree will include both theoretical training and practical experience within existing co-operatives in the participating countries.MYHS students planning first annual SADD week By Laurel Sherrer COWANSVILLE - The province’s first Students Against Driving Drunk (SADD) chapter will hold a ‘SADD week’ at Massey-Vanier Regional High School September 16-20.The mayor of Cowansville, Fred Tanner, has also declared it SADD week for the whole town.The week will include a series of conferences by members of the legal, medical and police professions, films about the dangers of drinking and driving, and at least one personal story from the victim of an alcohol-related accident.Andrée Champagne, federal minister for youth and minister in charge of international youth year, has been named honorary chairman for SADD week, and will address the students at the official opening of the week.Also on Monday, September 16, a lawyer will explain the legal considerations of driving while impaired, the court system, insurance, family, responsibilities and liabilities.OTHER EVENTS Tuesday morning, Joan Poirier, victim of a drinking and driving tragedy will tell how she sees the drinking and driving problem, through her own experience, and there will be a discussion of (he le gal consequences for the victim.Thursday, local police officers will be on hand to explain the role of the police, the local «trunk driving situation, and what can be done by teenagers and police.They will also explain the breathalyzer test and how it is used in court.On Friday, September 20.a local physician will explain the term blood alcohol concentration (BAC), and how being medically drunk occurs long before the outward signs are apparent.The Cowansville chapter of Stu dents Against Driving Drunk was set up this past summer with the help of an international youth year grant.Six students were employed and they collected literature on drinking and driving, did a survey of attitudes and experiences with drinking and driving among level IV, V and VI students at Massey-Vanier, and organized SADI) week.Some advice on easing your child into school TORONTO (CP) — The first day of school is a major event in a young child’s life and with some forethought and planning, parents can ease their wary youngster into the crucial transition.The preparations should begin well before the start of kindergarten.While it isn’t mandatory, experts such as Anna Frith, the City of Toronto’s school health consultant, recommend a child have a checkup with a doctor.Since the young student will come into contact with potential disease carriers, parents should make sure the child has been immunized against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps and German measles.Well before school starts next week, parents or babysitters should take the child on a practice run, either on the bus or walking the route he will follow to school, advised Don Wickett, principal of a Toronto elementary school “If anything upsets kids, it’s not knowing the route to school,” Wickett said.“They feel confused before they’re even in school.” He added that a ball or game may be taken along to instill in the child the attitude that school is a positive experience Should the child seem fearful or apprehensive about school, consider shopping together for supplies — which also reinforces the idea of school as a pleasant place to be.After the first trip to the school, the parent or babysitter should take the youngster back for a tour of the building itself, showing what door she will enter and where the bathrooms are and introducing her to the school principal and secretary.“These are things kids worry about,” said Wickett.“We’ve asked them and they worry about practical, down-to-earth things.Some kids don’t realize they can go to the washroom while they’re at school.” Children just starting school should also be given a little streetproofing, said Vicki Kclman, a family planning community worker for the City of Toronto.She recom mends the child be taught a one-word password to be used by anyone picking him up from school.Teach the child the private parts of the body and that no adult is allowed to touch them, teach her to recognize a “good touch’’ from a “bad touch” and that some bad adults may try to trick her into a bad situation and she must run away and yell for help, Kerman said.She suggested playing question games with the child.What would you do if a stranger offered you candy?What if a neighbor touched you? 6—The RECORD—Wednesday, September 4, 1985 Living Townshippers’ Day held on historical site This year’s Townshippers' Day has the good fortune of being located in one of Sherbrooke s most beautiful areas, the North Ward’s Howar-dene Park, and at the Sherbrooke Elementary School.In this week’s column, let’s take a closer look at the history behind the Howardene Park of Sherbrooke.THE HOWARD FAMILY The park, with its three gracious stone buildings.open grass area and pond, are the visible reminders of the legacy of the Howard family to the city of Sherbrooke and the Eastern Townships.The story of the park starts in 1885.when Charles Benjamin Howard was born to Benjamin Cate Howard and his wife Helen E Sails in Smith’s Mills, Stanstead County The family moved to Sherbrooke in 1891, where B.C.Howard became actively involved in the civic and municipal affairs of the city Mr.Howard was an alderman for nine years, and as president of the Sherbrooke Hospital, was largely responsible for the formulation of the plans for the present building.Mr.Howard was also known as the pioneer of the Eastern Townships’ pulp and lumber industry.The son, Charles Benjamin, was educated in Sherbrooke, and at the early age of 23 became a partner in the B.C.Howard & Company along with his father and uncle, D.J Sails.In 1919.he and his father bought Mr.Sails’ holdings and in 1924, Charles Benjamin became the president of the Company.Charles also followed ^ his father's political footsteps and was an alderman in the municipality of Little Lake Magog for two years and served as pro-mayor for one year.In 1925, Charles Benjamin was elected as the Liberal MP for Sherbrooke County and was reelected in 1926 as a member of the opposition.In 1940, fifteen years after entering politics.Keeping in touch By Gail Klinck Townshippers Association Charles Benjamin was appointed Senator, a position he retained for 24 years, until his death in 1964.In addition to this political career, Charles Benjamin remained active in local business and politics.Along with A.A.Munster and Edgar Thompson, in 1924 he founded the Canadian Silk Products Company in Sherbrooke.He also held the position of president of nine major companies in the area and held directorships on the boards of eight additional companies.In 1950 Senator Howard became the 49th mayor of Sherbrooke, a position he held until 1953 when his mandate finished.In 1913 Senator Howard’s father bought 20 acres in the North Ward from the British American Land Company.Both the father and son started building their respective houses in 1917, although the father Benjamin Cate, died before his house was completed.In 1923, two years before his father's death.Senator Howard bought the entire estate.WORKING FARM Although the estate provided a setting for gracious country living, it was also a working gentlemen’s farm, boasting a barn and a sugar camp.Also on the grounds were dens or burrows which housed the silver foxes which were used for the fur business Besides the foxes, bison, horses and chlèkens were also kept on the estate.What is now known as Pavillon I was Senator Howard's home from 1921 to 1961.In 1940, the northwest section of the estate was sold to the City of Sherbrooke, and it was decided that the new municipal greenhouses should be located on that land In 1962, Senator Howard sold the remainder of the estate to the City of Sherbrooke.The buildings have since undergone renovations and now house municipal offices.Senator Howard died in 1964, leaving to the residents of Sherbrooke a green space surpassing beauty.TOWNSHIPPERS’ DAY SITE ^To each of you, a special invitation to enjoy a Pmd-packed day on September 21st in these beautiful surroundings.Along with enjoying all the special activities, Townshippers’ Day will be the perfect occasion to visit an important site in the heritage of the Eastern Townships.Watch this space next week when we take a closer look at the Sherbrooke Elementary School.Have a nice week!

Now you take care of ’em.” I agreed, but I made him sign away all rights — no visiting privileges, nothing.One week later my lawyer arranged to have my children adopted by a terrific childless couple.I insisted on a legal clause stating that the new parents must never try to find me and that the kids must be told I was dead.I sold my house immediately, left town, changed my name, went back to college, got off the boze and the pills, lost 75 pounds and have made a great new life for myself.I am sorry this letter is so long but it is important for people to realize that not every woman is cut out for motherhood, and this doesn't mean she is trash.My kids are a lot better off than they Ann Landers would have been with me or with their flaky father.—Not ashamed (no city, no state) Dear Not Ashamed: You’ll get no argument out of me.Thanks for writing.Dear Ann Landers: These days, when so many farmers all over our beloved country are losing their land, it would be a great comfort if you would rerun a column my husband and I (Kansas wheat farmers) cut out several years ago.It is attached to this letter.— The D'S From Hutchinson Dear D’S: I am happy to oblige.Here it is, with credit to the Arkansas State Plant Board News: A FARMER’S PRAYER As farmers and ranchers, Dear God, please give us the wisdom and patience to understand why a pound of T-bone steak at $7.50 is considered high but a 3-ounce cocktail at $1.75 is not.And nobody complains about paying $1 for a soft drink at the ballpark but a 15-cent glass of milk for breakfast is inflationary.And, Lord, help me to understand why $5 for a ticket to a movie is a bargain, but $3.55 for a 60-pound bushel of wheat is unthinkable.Cotton is too high at 60 cents a pound, but a $20 cotton shirt is on sale for $18.50.And corn is too steep at 2 cents worth in a box of flakes, but folks don’t bat an eye when they’re charged 50 cents for a bowl of cornflakes in a restaurant.And also, Lord, help me to comprehend why I have to give an easement to the gas company so they can cross my property with their gas lines and then double my price for their gas.And, dear God, please help me to understand the consumer who drives by my field and scoffs at me for spending $7,000 on a piece of equipment that he built, so he could make money and drive down that right-of-way they took from me to construct a road so he could go hunting and skiing.Thank you, God, for your past guidance and help.And now will you please help me to make sense out of it all?Living Page Submissions Please note that all

June McClean had to slow down when she began leading an aerobics class this spring.Her students consisted of out-of-shape, middle-aged women, and she quickly found that they couldn’t exercise as strenuously as she normally would.After all, McClean is only 71 years old “If you haven't been exercising, you have to do it very slowly, then build up very slowly,” she says.“The people on the TV don’t always tell you to do that.” McClean, clad in a turquoise-and-white leotard that shows a flat stomach and firm legs, doesn’t think it’s particularly amazing that someone her age not only exercises vigorously but helps others get in shape.She has worked hard for years to stay that way — 20 minutes of stretching exercises each day plus 10 minutes of bouncing on a trampoline most days.“What’s 20 minutes in your life when it makes you feel so good?” she asks.She developed her daily regimen during years of exercising with Jack LaLanne on television, then kept it up after his show went off the air.Handling a class at Visalia Aerobics Centre, a task normally assumed by much younger people, seemed a natural evolution for a woman who always has felt a need to keep busy.HOPE FOR VIDEO .Encouragement came from her granddaughter, Jolene Gaffney, 23, who teaches exercise in Sacramento.In fact, the two would like to make an exercise video cassette.McClean found that she had to adapt her approach to the middle-aged women she was trying to attract to her class.“With these country ladies, you have to make them feel good about themselves,” she said.“A lot are widows, and some of them feel so sorry for themselves.” McClean thinks she’s found something unique for people her age.“There’s just no other facet of athletics for someone 70 to do.” Watch for unscrupulous peddlers of gravestones SHERBROOKE — The consu mer protection office in Sherbrooke has received a number of complaints and requests for information regarding travelling gravestone salesmen.The office is warning people, especially the elderly, to watch out for some of these salesmen.All door-to-door salesmen are required to follow certain consumer protection laws.The salesman has to sign a contract for any sale over $25.This contract can be cancelled by the consumer without any specific reason within ten days of receiving a copy of the signed contract.To cancel the contract, you have to either send the salesman or his representative a written notice of termination of the agreement, or return the cancellation form which should be attached to the contract.Only you can cancel your contract; beware of a salesman who wants to take care of this task for you in order to have you sign a new one.Y ou will risk finding yourself with two or three gravestones to pay for, as some consumers already have.More information on this subject may be obtained by calling the regional consumer protection office at (819)566-4266.____ _ STUDENT SPECIAL yte pass the .savings test TELEVISION RENTAL Student
