Nancy Cil-lis, president of the local branch of the Federation of United Nurses said Tuesday.“I’m anxious to see how the membership feels." It may be a little soon to tell.Technically, the rank and file still can reject the agreement which was hammered out, although provincial negotiators said they expect the agreement will be approved when a ratification vote is held next month.The pact was reached after four days of intense negotiations and a final 24 hours of nearly non-stop bargaining.SAME RAISES The agreement with the nurses provides for the same raises which were awarded last week to 170,000 Quebec public sector employees: 3.5 per cent this year, four per cent in 1987 and 4.5 per cent in 1988.But the nurses’ union was also granted an additional wage package worth $31 million over the next two years, a sum which means about $525 will be paid in three instalments over the life of contract to each nurse.The sweeter package, Cillis said, came as a surprise."It’s good," she said."1 just find it strange that when they started to negotiate they only had $8 million and ended up spending $31 million.'' Cillis said the real winners in the agreement are the nurses who work the night shift.The agreement provides permanent night staff with five days off a year.Their sick days have also been altered.Instead of nine sick dajs the new deal provides six siekdav s and three mobile holidays, which can be taken anytime.Cillis said that could prove useful for nurses who find themselves with a sick child on hand for a day and no help to bail them out.TOO SOON Cillis said it was a little too soon to tell what exactly became of two specific local demands — for a time-off clause so nurses could Sec SWEETER.Page 3.Jury finds Sikhs guilty of bomb plot By Linda Drouin MONTREAL (CP) — Two Montreal Sikhs were found guilty Tuesday night on charges of conspiring last May to blow up an unspecified airplane leaving from a U.S.airport.After deliberating for about eight hours, the seven-woman, five-man jury found Santokh Singh Khela.25, and Kahsmir Singh Dillon.42.guilty on three charges each of conspiring to destroy an aircraft and murder the people on board by placing explosives on the plane.Military project gets grant By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — The federal government has signed an agreement with Canadian Marconi Co.of Montreal to help it develop communications equipment for military uses, mostly for the United States.The memorandum of understanding, signed at a news conference Tuesday, will provide up to $16.6 million in “conditionally repayable, interest-free loans” to Marconi through the Defence Industry Productivity Program.Marconi will pay back the loans through royalties on sales of its equipment — if they are successful.Besides a pledge of royalties on future sales Marconi also pledges to spread out its purchasing to poorer regions of the country, in return for the government help.Company president Philip Wheatley said that the loans will go towards nine research and development projects that Marconi submitted to the government.As a result, Marconi expects to increase sales and hire an additional 600 people in Montreal and 100 at Kanata, near Ottawa, during the next four years.The two accused, wearing the brightly-colored turbans and scarves of traditional Sikh garb, remained impassive as the verdict was delivered in Quebec Superior Court.Madam Justice Barrette-Joncas set Jan.16 for a pre-sentence hearing for the two men.who could face a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.Crown prosecutor Claude Parent said he will be asking for an “exemplary sentence" because “this was a conspiracy to commit murders.I cannot see how it could be more serious, large numbers of innocent people would have been killed.” PLANS APPEAL Defence lawyer Michael Code said there will likely be an appeal.He said his clients have 30 days to make a decision and “I suspect they will wish to appeal.” Parent based his case largely on two eletronically-bugged conversations between the accused and an undercover FBI agent, Frank Miele, in a Montreal hotel room last May 19and 22.The two Sikhs were trying to strike a deal to blow up a plane in exchange for heroin, the Crown argued.The evidence included a piece of paper written by Dhillon in which code words "mobile home” were used to mean “plane” and "ship it to us” was used to mean "destroy it.” The defence argued that Khela and Dhillon were ensnared by Miele and a police informer code named Billy Joe.Code argued that the men met with Miele in a last-ditch attempt to recover $8.000 that Khela had given Billy Joe for a stolen Cadillac.I Privacy commissioner checks out tax leaks By Gord McIntosh OTTAWA (CP) — Federal Privacy Commissioner John Grace has expanded his investigation into Revenue Canada security after two Saskatoon news outlets reported receiving confidential tax information in the mail.The Saskatoon Star-Phoenix and the local CBC television station reported receiving anonymous letters Tuesday and Monday respectively containing microfiche material listing names, addresses and social insurance numbers of farmers who had received the federal farm tax rebate in 1985.The farmers live in Saskatchewan, Manitoba and northwestern Ontario.In the letter to the CBC, the anonymous sender said the microfiche was copied from Revenue Canada files.The correspondent added that tax information was being sold for a profit in the Saskatoon area.“Last month, someone important from Revenue Canada in Winnipeg came to Saskatoon with 4,965 microfiches and gave them to someone important in Saskatoon,” the writer said.“My boss bought .1,000 fiches for $10,000 from the Saskatoon man.This is a repeat business and has happened many times in the past.” The writer said he or she stole one of the fiches from the boss, cut it into eight parts and sent them to six different parties, including the two news outlets.Revenue Canada immediately launched an internal investigation and called in the RCMP after learning of the two Saskatoon letters.Grace began investigating Revenue Canada's security procedures last month after Revenue Minister Elmer Mackay told a stunned House of Commons that microfiched tax information on 16-million Canadians had gone missing from a Toronto district taxation office.The information was subsequently returned and a Revenue Canada employee is facing charges in connection with the disappearance.In the latest incidents.Grace's office said Tuesday it has been determined that the Saskatoon microfiches are from a series of tax files prepared last Sept.28 covering the 1985 taxation year.Grace said he was concerned that the latest developments will continue to erode public confidence in the tax system.Dick Fulford.assistant deputy minister of excise at Revenue Canada in Ottawa, said in interview that no information was missing from department files, leading officials to conclude the Saskatoon material was either secretly copied from active files or discarded microfiches were taken out of an office when they should have been destroyed.Hammering out a deal RECORD PERRY BEATON How wonderful it is to be an uncle at Christman lime.and they love it, hut don't have to put up with the You get to buy

constellations dominate the southeastern sky on a January evening.Appropriately called the "Winter Six", these constellations contain more than half of the brilliant stars of all seasons.Of this month's first magnitude or brighter stars, only Deneb, which is setting in the v/esl.and Regulus.which is rising in the east, lie outside the group.The large and spectacular constellation Orion is central to the Winter Six.Its jewel-studded "belt" — formed by three almost equalK spaced bright stars — is the unmistakable signature of the mythological Giant Hunter.The other five constellations of the group form a huge arc around Orion.Beginning with Canis Major (the Big Dog) at the lower left of the “belt", sweep"upward in a clockwise direction to find Canis Minor (the Little Dog).Gemini (the Twins).Auriga (the Charioteer), and Taurus (the Bull).Each member of this magnificent array has at least one brilliant star.Sparkling Sirius, in Canis Major, is not only the brightest star of the "Winter Six", it is also the brightest star in our heavens.For Binoculars The winter sky is a feast for the unaided eye.but more subtle delights are revealed by binoculars.The chill of the season may be almost forgotten while revelling in the misty beauty of the Orion Nebula.To find it locate Orion's "belt", then move downward to the faint stars that form the sword hanging beneath.A star at the centre of the sword is enveloped in a faintly luminous cloudlike feature.The Great Orion Nebula, as it is called, is an immense collection of Look for Colour Meissa Betelgeuse Beltatnx: ORION

number of stars in both clusters and reveal the faint nebulosity surrounding the brightest members of the Pleiades, giving them a hazy appearance.Large tripod-mounted binoculars are ideal for viewing these clusters.Two other star clusters which are greatly enhanced by binoculars are located on the map.Look in the east for the Praesepe cluster.It is in the faint constellation Cancer and is often called the "Bee Hive" High in the northwest in Perseus lie twin swarms of stars appropriately called the Double Cluster.The pentagon of stars outlining the constellation Auriga contains several star clusters which are a delight in binoculars.And don't forget the Great Galaxy in Andromeda for it is still well placed for view ing high above the western horizon Keep this map to use with Februarv

therefore is the first object to appear at dusk Fainter.but redder.Mars emerges to the upper left of Jupiter when the sky becomes darker.The distance separating the two planets increases from about 8° at the beginning of January, to more than 20° by month's end.A young Moon enhances the scene from the 3rd to the 5th.Brilliant Venus dominates the predawn sky.Rising in the southeast about three hours before the Sun.it reaches its greatest brilliancy (magnitude -4.6) in 1987 as the year begins.Saturn rises about an hour later.Much fainter and closer to the horizon, it is harder to identify.For those who like a challenge, look for the tiny pale disk of Uranus around the time of New Moon at the end of January Venus, about 3° north of Uranus, will serve as a guide.Binoculars are a

But look at North’s redouble.That was Woolsey’s way of saying, “They might beat us at this contract, so try something else if you feel like it.” Sure enough, Mansfield bid six no-trump.West led the ace of diamonds.If Kit Woolsey had known that this hand would be published on Christmas Eve, he couldn’t have asked for a better surprise in his Christmas stocking than South's queen of diamonds, which allowed the contract to make.If the queen of diamonds had been the jack, the contract would have been down five, making the deal more appropriate for Halloween than for Christmas.P.S.At the other table the nine of diamonds was led against six spades, North being the declarer.West won the ace of diamonds and returned a club, which his partner ruffed to set the slam.A new book by James

Cup soccer finals was a runaway choice as the top international sports story of 1986, says an Associated Press poll.The Argentines' domination of soccer's championship, capped by a 3-2 victory over West Germany in the final, and the play of their star, Diego Maradona, gained all but five of the first-place votes cast.Voting by sports editors of AP subscribers in Europe, Asia and Latin America gave the Argentina victory 27 first-place votes and 302 points, with 10 points for the top story, nine for second, down to one point for the 10th story on each ballot.A distant second, with 149 points, were the International Olympic Committee’s decisions to split the Summer and Winter Games beginning in 1994 and to award the 1992 Olympics to Barcelona, Spain, and Albertville, France The IOC deci- sions were voted No.1 on four ballots.The remaining first-place vote went to the spread of fan violence at soccer matches, which finished fourth with 142 points, one less than the Wimbledon tennis victories of Martina Navratilova and Boris Becker, the No.3 story in the poll.The boycott of the Commonwealth Games, sparked by Britain's policies toward South Africa, was fifth on the list, with 123 points.Alain Prost’s third world Formula One driving championship was sixth with 100 points, and the emergence of Mike Tyson as the youngest-ever heavyweight boxing champion was seventh, with 90 points.AMERICAN PICKED Eighth, with 77 points, was American Greg LeMond’s victory in the Tour de France cycling competition, edging the Asian Games in Seoul.South Korea, with 75.East Germany’s domination of the Hibernation is just not for human beings Great outdoors Winter has arrived.Bears and many other species of wild animals specially equipped to handle winter hibernation are now tucked away in their burrows, able to survive on their reserves of fat.I know some humans who imitate this by sliding under their warmest blanket, leaving only their nose exposed to the air until spring.But don’t be like one of them.Humans need as much exercise in winter as they do in summer, if not more since we have a tendency to eat more fattening foods.As much as winter promotes a host of more passionate pastimes we shouldn't forget the pleasurable activities the snow and ice offer outside.To help you prepare for the long haul of winter, here are some activities you can do.Starting with the most popular, cross-country skiing is healthy and is the winter’s equivalent of jogging — but is more enjoyable since it can be done with a group of family or friends rather than alone.$ôwn-hill skiing isn't bad either though it costs a lot more and is not quite as beneficial for the health and is of questionable strain physically, except, of course, when the lift breaks down.Skating is something that can be done in various locations such as on exterior skating rinks, and on frozen over lakes and rivers where the ice isn’t too thin.Snowshoeing seems to be losing speed in the popularity race over the last few decades though there are some snowshoe clubs that are flourishing in the first half of this season.The boom is largely due to the advantage snowshoeing offers: the ability to go anywhere, such as in the woods even without trails.Then there is snowmobiling which is very popular and which allows you to cover great distances on trails which are specifically designed for this activity.Snowmobile trails exist throughout the province for those who have the taste for this type of adventure and for those who have the time.And don't forget ice fishing which attracts many impressive fishermen on lakes where there is thick enough ice and sufficient numbers of fish.To find out which lakes are suitable for ice fishing in the Eastern Townships all you have to do is consult the brochure, “Fishing, Trapping, and Hunting,” April 1, 1986 to March 31 edition, pages 17 and 18.This leaflet is available at all the dealerships where hunting and fishing permits are sold, and are al- L BY REAL HEBERT so available at the offices of the Ministry of Recreation.Game and Leisure and the offices of Communications Quebec.Finally, for those who are not afraid to confront the cold temperatures of the season, winter camping is an activity becoming more and more accepted.Nevertheless, it is an activity which demands not only knowledge of the outdoors, but courage and good physical health.Outdoor walking, even in winter, is an activity that is however, open to all of us.Some lovers of this exercise tell me the best time to go for an excursion is when the snow is falling and others tell me that the best time to do it is the day after when the snow is thick and muffles the sound of the outside world.Now, if you’re looking for a winter activity which is a little more original, you can always try ski sailing, a variation of board sailing which is practised on skis.Whichever the physical activity you do over the course of the winter, the taste for the outdoors and for physical fitness will be obvious.Since this is my last column before Christmas, I would like to take the chance to wish all my readers and the management and personnel of The Records very

the 1986 season, they couldn’t remove the smiles from the faces of Pete Rozelle and the league’s owners.The league won the biggest contest in 1986 when a New York jury decided the USFL deserved just $3 in its $1.62 billion lawsuit.That decision ended the life of the fledgling league, a constant irritation to the NFL since 1982.The victory seemed to rekindle the old sense of harmony among NFL owners and a sense of elation from Rozelle that covered some of the problems that surfaced almost as soon as the 1986 season started.Among them : —The new replay system, set up to settle disputed plays but which produced a new controversy almost weekly.—An increasing number of violent incidents on the field that resulted in the suspension of three players for a total of four games.—Difficult negotiations with the television networks and the players union after the season ended.LOSES MONEY The networks, which began losing money on the NFL package in 1985, were in a period of retrenchment and Rozelle and other NFL officials conceded they would be lucky to match the $2.1 billion agreement they got in the contract that expires after the Super Bowl.The players want free agency to replace the de facto free agency they had during the USFL’s existence, when the threat of jumping to the young league was enough to get a prime player a large salary increase.When the NFL season started, the biggest problem was the instant replay system.There were several delays, officials seemed indecisive and the biggest controversy occurred when a replay official’s decision was interpreted on the field as “pass is complete” instead of “pass incomplete,” giving the Los Angeles Raiders a touchdown they didn't deserve in a game in which they beat Kansas City 24-17.By midseason, many of the problems had been solved, but whether the owners would approve replays for next year remains in doubt.On the field, the Year of the Bears became the Year of the Revolving Contender.Unlike 1985, when Chicago was dominant from Week One, it was hard to determine during the regular season which was the strongest team — it could have been the Bears, New York Jets or Giants, Washington Redskins or Denver Broncos.LACKS POWER Without star quarterback Jim McMahon, Chicago was nowhere near the dominant team that crushed New England 46-10 in last January’s Super Bowl.The Giants, led by Lawrence Taylor, won their last nine games to finish 14-2 against one of the NFL’s toughest schedules to win the NFC East title, their first championship of any kind since 1963.Washington settled for a wildcard berth and Dallas faded to 7-9, missing the playoffs for only the third time in 20 years and suffering its first losing season in 20 years.Joe Montana provided the inspiration and the quarterbacking to lead the San Francisco 49ers to the NFC West title over the Los Angeles Rams.Cleveland emerged as one of the best teams in the league with a 12-4 record for the Central title while Denver survived a faulty finish to win the West with an 11-5 mark.Kansas City finished strong to win a wild-card spot for its first playoff appearance in 15 years.The New England Patriots won the NFC East by beating Miami in the last 44 seconds of the final game of the season on Monday night to pass the Jets, who wasted a two-game lead over the Patriots by losing their last five games, barely qualifying as the wild-card team.Brus does well, this time in Florida AYER’S CLIFF — Johanne Brus of Ayer’s Cliff reminded Floridians where the Eastern Townships are by winning the 30-39-year-old women’s division in the Bloo-mingdale Marathon on Dec.14.Held just outside Tampa, the marathon attracted some 400 runners.Brus' time of 3:36 was two minutes slower than her personal best, but not bad considering that she'd just emerged from a cold wave here and had scarcely had a chance to readjust to heat.It was Brus' first marathon victory, but her 12th division win and 17th division placement of 1986 — a record that may stand a few years unless she herself breaks it.To do better, someone would have to win a race a month and also place in another race throughout the summer and fall.Few runners combine that kind of speed with Brus’ resiliance.Brus' Bloomingdale win was the second major marathon triumph by a Townshipper in Florida; Joan Lavoie of Magog won the 1982 Miami Orange Bowl Marathon outright, with a time of 2:22, then a record for Quebeckers.CROSS-COUNTRY CIRCUIT The Circuit Monzelac has announced its 1987 cross-country ski racing schedule.Six races are included, beginning with Notre Dame des Bois on Jan.11.Woburn followson Jan.18, Lac Meganticon Jan.25, another Woburn race Feb.15, Lac Drolet on Feb.22, and St.Romain on March 1.Organized three years ago, the Circuit Monzelac virtually IS cross-country ski racing in the Eastern Townships at present, a sport that went into steep and abrupt decline during the early 1980s due to a couple of nearly snowless winters.To boost involvement, the Circuit Monzelac offers seven divisions for children and teenagers.Atoms, seven and under, and Pee Wees, ages eight and nine, race one kilometre.Mini-Midgets, 10 and 11, and Midgets 12 and 13, race three kilometres.Juveniles, 14 and 15, go five kilometres.Adult racing distances vary, but usually women go five or 10 kilometres while men go 10-k, 15-k, or 20-k.Lac Drolet does allow women 20-39 to race 20-k, however, and the Sports shorts CLEVELAND (AP) — The Cleveland Indians have declined to offer pitcher John Butcher a major-league contract, making the 29-year-old right-hander a free agent.Butcher was acquired from the Minnesota Twins for pitcher Neal Heaton on June 20.Butcher finished the season at 1-8 with a 6.56 earned-run average.Even though the team declined to mail the contract, the Indians can re-sign Butcher to a major-league contract at more than a 20 per cent pay cut.If he does not sign with another team before the start of spring training, the Indians could bring him to Tucson, Ariz., as a non-roster player for virtually nothing.• PHILADELPHIA
