Rémillard to probe judge’s remark QUEBEC (CP) — Provincial Justice Minister Gil Rémillard has ordered an investigation into the conduct of a Quebec Court judge who, during a trial last year, told a lawyer that “rules are like women, they’re made to be violated.” Rémillard ordered the investigation Monday after widespread outcry from women’s groups, labor organizations and members of the opposition Parti Québécois about the comments of Judge Denys Dionne.Dionne made the comments in January 1989 but it was only last week that they came to light after a report by CBC television.CBC obtained an audio tape of the judge making the remarks during an assault and weapons trial in Longueuil.Rémillard made the request for an investigation to the provincial magistrate’s council, the body which oversees the conduct of judges in Quebec.The call came shortly after the provincial employees union demanded that Dionne be removed from the bench Dionne has been out of the country and unavailable for comment.Poll: 52 per cent say Quebec will seperate TORONTO (CP) — Fifty-two per cent of Quebecers believe it’s likely their province will eventually separate from the rest of Canada if the Meech Lake accord is not adopted, a new poll suggests.But only one in four people who were surveyed in the other provinces share that view, says the Toronto Globe and Mail-CBC News poll published today.The survey suggests that throughout the country, national unity is a growing concern.Opinion is hardening against the constitutional accord in English Canada, while in Quebec the agreement is gaining support, it suggests.But most respondents across Canada didn’t know much about the agreement.Seventy-one per cent said they knew nothing or not very much about the accord signed by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the 10 premiers in June 1987.The poll of 1,600 adult Canadians was taken between Feb.1 and 7.A poll of this size should reflect the attitudes of the population as a whole within a margin of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.In Quebec, 44 per cent said they favored the Meech Lake accord, up 11 percentage points since the last Globe-CBC poll in October.Thirty per cent said they opposed the agreement, while 25 per cent said they didn’t know.In the rest of Canada, a majority — 53 per cent — of respondents opposed the accord; only 17 per cent favored it, while 30 per cent were undecided.In examining the reasons for the opposition to the constitutional accord.the survey suggests there is strong resistance outside Quebec to giving the province special treatment or more power than other provinces.Fifty per cent of Quebec respondents agreed that the province should have the power to pass laws affecting its distinctive culture and language, even if those laws conflicted with the Charter.SAKAH DOSTIK ECOLE SACRE COED» LAC MEOANTIC Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Tuesday, February 13,1990 40 cents ‘Could be another clear sign the Cold War is over’ — Shevardnadze Twenty three countries endorse Open Skies proposal By Paul Mooney OTTAWA (CP) — The 23 countries of NATO and the Warsaw Pact gave a general endorsement to the Open Skies proposal Monday, a confidence-building measure strongly promoted by Canada.Foreign ministers of thg two military alliances praised the concept in their opening speeches at the Open Skies conference in Ottawa.They did so despite differences between the United States and the Soviet Union over some details and a Soviet request to expand the idea to the oceans and space.Open Skies would allow NATO and the Warsaw Pact countries to conduct unarmed surveillance flights over each other’s territory on short notice.The foreign ministers also used the conference to meet privately on issues such as the unification of East and West Germany and troop reductions in Europe Canada has taken a leading role in promoting Open Skies, designed to promote confidence between the two sides.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney opened the conference by declaring the Cold War over.“Today in Ottawa, former ad- versaries work together to ensure that such a long, bitter winter never comes again.” Mulroney said in the stately former railway station near Parliament Hill that serves as a conference centre.Soviet Foreign Minister Eduard Shevardnadze echoed Mulroney’s theme, saying the Ottawa meeting is being held in a winter w hich, for all the changes in temperature, hasn't been cold.“Our meeting in the capital of Canada could be another clear sign the Cold War is over,” Shevardnadze said.But Shevardnadze said his government wants Open Skies expan- ded to include the oceans and outer space.The Soviets, who have maintained their traditional emphasis on land forces and land-based missiles, fear the might of the U.S.navy which can project power to all parts of the globe.Shevardnadze repeated the Soviet position that all information gathered by Open Skies flights should be shared with both sides, a position NATO has rejected.U.S.officials also rejected the Soviet suggestion for Open Seas, saying it is merely a ploy to discuss naval arms control.In his opening remarks, U.S.Secretary of State James Baker hai- led Open Skies as “potentially the most ambitious measure to build confidence ever undertaken.” After thanking Mulroney and others in the Canadian gover nment for championing Open Skies from the beginning.Baker said the proposal can and should become a key element in efforts to promote stability.“A state’s decision to open its airspace to another state's surveillance aircraft is a highly significant co-operative political act in and of itself,” Baker said.Officials say there would be about two flights by each side each week.City hall move complete ¦ « Sherbrooke city council held its

importance of the June 23 deadline for approving the Meech Lake constitutional package.Wells, following a 45-minute meeting with Vander Zalm, said there is nothing magical about having to approve the accord in June.“Thatdateis being forwarded by proponents of the accord as though the guillotine is going to fall on June 24th and I think that's the wrong approach to it.” said the Newfoundland premier.“What’s the difference if we make changes in September or October.” Canada would become more divided if Meech Lake was not passed in June, the B C premier said at a news conference following the meeting “If something isn't achieved prior to June 23 I think on June 24 there will be great dissatisfaction particularly in Quebec and the consequences could be considerable.” he said.Wells said it would be up to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Quebec Premier Robert Bou rassa to agree to changing the dea dline and allowing for compromise.MORE DISSENSION But Vander Zalm likened Wells's position to issuing an ultimatum which he said would only bring about more dissension in Canada.Gil Rémillard.Quebec's intergovernmental affairs minister, said his province doesn't expect any extension to the deadline.“The 23rd is the deadline.The 24th.its over.It’s our national day, St.Jean Baptiste.” Both premiers suggested more negotiations between them and the other provinces would continue Wells said he liked some of Vander Zalm s ideas to amend the proposed Meech Lake accord — which Mulroney says cannot be changed — and he said it’s the beginning of a basis for negotiation But he raised a concern about Vander Zalm's idea to have 12 distinct societies — as opposed to Quebec being the sole distinct society envisaged in the accord as it now stands.“ M y big concern it that we would be emphasizing our differences as separate units rather than promoting our unity and Canadianism Frankly I’mstronglyof the opinion that there's more to being Canadian than being from one province or another that at the moment constitutes the federation.” Wells said his province would go ahead with plans to rescind its support for the accord, which was gi ven by former premier Brian Peckford and his then Conservative majority in the Newfoundland legislature.Vander Zalm said he preferred to continue negotiating rather than ask the B.C.legislature to withdraw the province's support for it Edmonston becomes first NDPer elected in Quebec By Don Macdonald ST-BASILE-LE-GKAND, Que.(CP) — Phil Edmonston rolled to a massive victory in the Chambly federal byelection on Monday to make history as the first NDP politician ever elected in Quebec.With almost all of the 194 polls reporting, Edmonston captured about 70 per cent of votes cast with his nearest rival Liberal Clifford Lincoln, who is also a candidate for the federal Liberal leadership, at around 15 per cent.Conservative Serge Begin had only some 10 per cent of the votes.é“I think it shows a lot of people really have confidence in us as a team,” said a jubliant Edmonston as he entered a victory party at a Chinese restaurant.“The voters have said: We don’t want the goods and services tax and we’re in favor of Meech Lake,”’ he said.“I think it’s a vote for both me and my party.” Lincoln, who had been counting on a victory in the Chambly byelection to fuel his bid to succeed John Turner as Liberal leader, said he would take some time to consider his political future.“I’ll look at my future square in the face and see where I go from here,” he said.“Let’s admit it doesn’t help in any way but at the same time I’m not going to make a decision tonight.” He said he would consult with his family, advisers and supporters across the country before making a decision about his leadership bid.The achievment is considered all the more remarkable because of the fact the U.S-born Edmonston, who speaks French with a strong English accent, won in a riding that is overwhelmingly francophone and traditionally nationalist.“Quebec is a province where people are very tolerent,” Edmonston, who was greeted by a rousing version of the Quebec na tionalist anthem Gens du pays, said in his speech.Quebecers accept people of ethnic and cultural backgrounds, “but French must be first,” he added.Edmonston also overcame a whiff of scandal in the final days of the campaign when he was accused of accepting kickbacks from a Montreal garage owner when he was president of the Automobile Protection Association in the 1970s.He immediately counterattacked.saying the man paid him the money to buy Edmonston’s consumer guide and he accused Lincoln of orchestrating the story as part of a wide-ranging smear campaign — an allegation the Liberal angrily denied.Edmonston.45, finished second in the 1988 federal election to Conservative Richard Grise, the scion of a powerful local family Phil Edmonston.7 think it's a vote for both me and my party.’ who vacated the seal last May after pleading guilty to charges of fraud and breach of trust.MAINTAIN FOCUS Edmonston never stopped campaigning after his defeat and ran mostly on Ins local profile rather than on his affiliation to the NDP — especially when it came to the issue of the Meech Lake constitutional deal.He backs the accord but the party decided late last year to aban don its unconditional support for the pact, which identifies Quebec as a distinct society.NDP Leader Audrey McLaughlin said Edmonston's victory reflected things to come and played down any splits in the party over Meech Lake.“Welcome to the 1990s,” she told a news conference in Ottawa.“It’s just the beginning.” The scale of Edmonston’s victory was impressive.He received 26,997 votes(67.5 per cent), compared with Lincoln’s 6,966 votes (17.4) and Begin’s 3.910 (9.8).Turnout was heavy for a byelection at 39,980 (59.4 per cent) of 67,288 eligible voters.Lincoln accepts defeat and ‘life will go on’ MONTREAL (CP) — Clifford Lincoln says that life will goon, but his bid for the federal Liberal leadership may not, given his poor finish in the Chambly byelection on Monday.The former Quebec environment minister said he will reconsider his chances of winning John Turner s job after finishing a distant second to federal NDP candidate Phil Edmonston.the first-ever New Democrat to win a seat federally or pro-vineially in Quebec.“I lost.I accept my defeat but life goes on.” he told a few dozen supporters at his headquarters about an hour after the polls closed.Lincoln, a greying former insurance broker, refused to say whether or not he will stay in the Liberal leadership race.A new lea der will be elected by delegates in Calgary in June.“I don’t know.“But obviously this won’t help,” a downcast Lincoln said after finishing with about 17 per cent of the Chambly vote, compared with about 70 per cent for Edmonston who was ahead in every single poll when Lincoln conceded defeat.“These are things that I'm going to check and talk over with my supporters.“There are a lot of people involved in this leadership thing.“I’m not going to make a decision for them tonight.” As Lincoln made the remarks, people in the small crowd chanted.“Stay in.Stay in.” 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, February 13,1990 AIDS: New twist with Valentine’s Day hearts and flowers By David Tweedie MAGOG — The 1990s are here and that means chocolates and flowers will have some competition on Valentine’s Day.Condoms are also being handed out.It’s part of an effort in the Sherbrooke area to increase awareness of AIDS, and more importantly, how to prevent the disease from spreading.It's a Valentine’s Day message with a ’90s twist : not only is it a day for love and romance, it ’s also a day to promote non-fatal love.The program was born and coordinated by the Sherbrooke Centre for Anonymous AIDS Testing and Prevention.The centre is distributing condoms to area bars, hotels, universities and CEGEPs.CUPID The condoms come in a package that resembles a book of matches with a strong Valentine’s Day theme.On the front, there’s a silhouette of Cupid, along with advice: “Loving Safely”.A nurse with the AIDS testing centre says the program has proven to be more popular than expected.“We started with 5000 (condoms),” said Sylvia Rolfe, “and when we noticed the demand was so positive we added more and more.So we’re at 18.000 now.” Rolfe said the condoms are given out free of charge.In bars, they can be handed out along with the first drink a customer orders.She said the program probably wouldn’t have floated a year ago.“The most surprising thing I’ve no-ticed this year is that people accept that we have a condom available like that." NOW OKAY Rolfe said that previously in restaurants and bars “Matches were alright, mints were alright and toothpicks were alright.But you couldn’t imagine two years ago, or even last year, that you could have a condom there.And I think that’s a big, big evolution.” Some bars in the area started handing out "Cupid’s Condoms” on the weekend.Bronco Billy’s in Magog is among them.The bar features a mechanical bull.While customers could pass on the bull, their first drink brought them a condom.The special events organizer at the bar, Jesse Aulis, said reception was good for the condoms.“Everybody was very open to that program.” she said.“Some people even asked for them.So that was good.” WANTED IN Aulis said she asked to be included in the program as soon as she heard about it.She said efforts have to be made to stop the spread of AIDS.And she says despite all the publicity to date, the advice to practice safe sex is not always followed.“You know what it is like when people are drinking.Sometimes you don’t think as much as when you’re not drinking.But I think with a program like that, we can bring kids to be really aware,” she said.Her husband Steve Aulis agrees.He’s a country musician whose work has taken him inside a lot of bars.BREEDING GROUNDS He thinks bars are good breeding grounds for promoting safe sex.He said he’s been playing country music for 23 years and some nights he’s seen people go in and out of a bar “once, twice, sometimes three times a night with different partners.When you see things like that, you begin to ask yourself questions.” Aulis said people should take AIDS more seriously and he’s prepared to promote the availability of condoms from the bandstand.Jesse Aulis said she thinks the program should be extended year round.A FIXTURE She’s not the only one.At least one hotel owner has told the AIDS testing centre he’s interested in making condoms a regu- Steve A ulis.Customers go in and out ‘sometimes three times a night.’ lar feature in his rooms, next to the free toothbrush, shampoo and soap.This program also goes on to university and CEGEP campuses.Nurse Rolfe says students at CEGEPS are a key target, especially with the news last week that ten students at an unidentified CEGEP have tested positive for the aids virus.The victims had apparently experimented with hard drugs and had the misfortune of sharing a dirty needle.“It’s a common mistake”, Rolfe said.“The first time you try intravenous drugs, you will share (a needle) with a regular user.That’s the way they do it.” And that’s the way AIDS is quickly spread.TO PAY FOR DRUGS Rolfe said the problem is compounded when regular drug users go into prostitution to pay for their expensive habit.The disease soon invades a larger segment of the community.In order to increase aids awareness at area CEGEPs and universities, condoms will be made available to the students on Valentine’s Day.At Champlain College and Bishop’s University the distribution will be done by placing the match- z book condoms in each student’s g mailbox.| Overall, the program, which in-£ eludes some television adverti-2 sing, will cost $14,000.The money | comes from the Quebec gover-p nment.^ Rolfe said the program is well worth it “If we prevent only one case of AIDS.” Country bars are hotbeds of indiscriminate sex — if that’s possible after a ride on the mechanical bull.Mulroney's chief of staff denies he consulted RCMP on timing Corporal testifies he had misgivings about budget leak charges By Jim Brown OTTAWA (CP)—The RCMP corporal who charged television journalist Doug Small and twoothers in the leak of last year’s federal budget admitted Monday he had initial misgivings about laying the charges.But Cpl.Richard Phelan said a day of meetings with RCMP brass and a provincial Crown attorney persuaded him the charges were legitimate.And in separate testimony, top aides to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and Solicitor General Parliament sees the environmental light By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) — The people who govern Canada are seeing things in a new light this week.EachMPhas received a high-tech lightbulb that will prevent half a tonne of carbon dioxide pollution in its lifetime.“If you want to do something good for the environment, this is an example: turn on one lightbulb,” said Liberal MP Marlene Catte-rall, holding up one of the energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs after a ceremony on Parliament Hill.The bulbs were donated by Canada’s major lightbulb manufacturers with the enthusiastic approval of environmentalists.“I think it’s a great idea,” said Kai Millyard of the environmental group Friends of the Earth, stuffing a bulb into his backpack.Although the new lightbulbs are expensive, at about $30 each, they last 10 times as long and use about a fifth as much electricity as ordinary bulbs.“The message we re trying to get out is, you get your money back,” said Catterall.“And every minute that bulb is on you’re doing something to protect the environment.” WARM GLOW Unlike the conventional fluores- cent tubes, the new bulbs don’t throw a stark, white light giving people’s faces a death like pallor.They produce a warm glow similar to old-fashioned incandescent lights.Because they conserve electricity, the efficient bulbs reduce emissions of carbon dioxide which contributes to global warming.One of the biggest sources of carbon dioxide pollution in Canada is burning coal to make electricity.“Helping cut energy consumption is the most immediate step to combatting global warming,” said House Speaker John Fraser.“This is one way everybody can get involved.” But there’s a catch : the efficient bulbs still aren’t available on most supermarket shelves, although they can be found at some do-it-yourself stores.Retailers have been reluctant to stock the new products.“If you just put it on the shelf, people won’t buy it because they don’t know what it does,” explained Normand Payette of Philips Electronics following the ceremony on Parliament Hill.But he predicted that the new bulbs will take over the lighting market as production costs come down and public awareness rises.Pierre Blais denied there had been any interference in laying the charges.Defence lawyers are trying to get the case dismissed by arguing there was political pressure on the RCMP.Previous testimony at the provincial court trial had already indicated Phelan swore the charges of theft and possession of stolen property after a more senior investigator, Staff Sgt.Richard Jordan, refused to take action and was pulled off the case.On the morning of May 29, Phelan was asked by one of his superiors if he would consider laying charges.“I was aware that Staff Sgt.Jordan had difficulty with the prospect of laying charges of theft and possession, as did I,” Phelan testified.AGREED TO MEET But he agreed to meet Norm Douglas, a senior Crown attorney, to discuss the case.They reached no decision.Phelan was then called to a second consultation with Douglas, George Allen, Ottawa RCMP regional commander, and Henry Jensen, then the No.2 man to Commissioner Norman Inkster.Douglas advised the Mounties the final decision was up to them, but the Crown promised to carry through if they chose to go ahead with the prosecution, said Phelan.After further discussion, Douglas provided some handwritten drafts of how to word potential charges and outlined a prosecution strategy.“I was asked by deputy commissioner Jensen subsequent to the discussion whether I had any difficulty with that, and I indicated that I did not,” said Phelan.That evening he located a justice of the peace at home and swore the charges, even though the papers couldn’t be served until the next day.“I was anxious to have the charges laid,” said Phelan.“And I knew that a press release was being prepared.” The charges against Small, Defence Department clerk John Appleby.and Normand Belisle, a worker with a waste recycling company, were laid the day before Mulroney was to return from a week-long trip to Africa and Europe.CITE TIMING Opposition MPs contended the timing had been orchestrated so Mulroney could duck embarrassing questions in the Commons by saying the case was before the courts.But Stanley Hartt, Mulroney’s chief of staff, said he never consulted the RCMP on the timing of charges and received only occasional reports during the month-long investigation.The reports were channeled through the Privy Council or the solicitor general’s office, rather than coming directly from the RCMP, said Hartt.Bill Pristanski, former chief of staff to Blais, said he discussed the case a dozen times or more with Jensen and other RCMP officers.question period.But PnstansKi said he always prefaced his requests “by saying we did not want to interfere in the investigation.” He also maintained that, despite several briefings by Jensen, he was unaware of the internal battle raging in the RCMP.Jordan has testifed that he and his immediate superior, Insp.Jean-Pierre Witty, believed the prosectuion was politically motivated and refused to sign the charges.Small, a Global TV reporter, broadcast a summary of the

to entice student voters appears to have worked in a co-presidential election at Concordia University.In a bid to improve chronically poor student participation, the Concordia University Students’ Association offered a draw for one lucky voter to win a trip for two to New York City.The plan succeeded, as more than 2,200 students cast ballots last week, up from about 800 last year.Chief returning officer Robert Douglas, who came up with the idea, said something had to be done to get students more involved in the electoral process.Abusive priest must pay OTTAWA (CP)-The Roman Catholic

school board contend a bus driver replaced following a petition from parents in Cowansville is a safe driver — even though one day she drove the route with an open tank of explosive propane gas on the seat beside her.Director general Jim Bissell says the board’s asking for a new driver should not be interpreted as an acknowledgement that the previous driver was unsafe.“The allegations that were made have not really been substantiated,” Bissell said Monday, adding that the board decided to replace the driver because parents had lost confidence in the driver’s ability to transport their children safely to school.SICK LEAVE The driver, an employee of the bus company Les Entreprises P.Dorais, is now on sick leave for a month, said company spokesman P.Dorais.Dorais would not say if she will be assigned a new route when she returns in March.Thirty of 35 parents on the driver's route signed a petition after numerous complaints had been registered about her driving.Debbie Fogarty, one of the parents who circulated the petition, said in addition to four points outlined in the petition calling for a new driver, many parents had their own lists of concerns.“Going door to door we heard about 15 other stories,” Fogarty said.“Some of them were not too serious, but many of them were.” TWO ACCIDENTS The petition cites two accidents — one when the bus driver side-swiped a parked truck, and a se cond when she backed her bus into a parked car.Other complaints included speeding.advising children to stand on the bus before they reached their stop to avoid delays, and that the driver could not communicate in English with the English-speaking student passengers.Fogarty said numerous other complaints about the driver were not listed on the petition.Like the one about the propane gas tank.Children on the bus arrived home from school one day to tell their parents their bus had run out of fuel.A propane tank had then apparently been placed on the front seat of the loaded bus, and a rubber hose extended out the window to supply the fuel tank.The bus continued its run with the tank on board.Bissell said the propane incident was “news to me" but after checking, confirmed it had occu-red.Bissell said once board officials learned of the incident the driver was warned within ten minutes.AN EXPLANATION "That incident has since been resolved at a meeting of the school committee of Heroes Memorial when transportation director Larry Goyette provided parents with an explanation," Bissell said.Heroes Memorial School committee chairman Gayle McE wen said Goyette spoke to the pa-

workers in Sherbrooke and all across the province went on strike Monday.According to Hydro-Quebec spokesmen and union officials, the walk out went smoothly and there were few interruptions in service — mostly thanks to good weather.Hydro provided only essential services, operated by a skeleton staff The customer service office was closed, but operators took emergency calls.Hydro officials said few pro blems, if any, were reported in the Eastern Townships area.“VERY CALM’ “The situation today was very calm, but of course the good Hassle-free weather helped," said Jean-Marie Pelletier, a spokesman for Hydro-Quebec’s head office.The union president for the Richelieu region Townships sector which includes areas east of Lake Memphremagog, said there was nothing unusual about the

but.By Ann McLaughlin LENNOXVILLE — Council named two town officials to discuss firefighting in Ascot Township Monday — almost two weeks after the previous contract expired.“For the first time this week we received official notice from Sherbrooke that city officials wanted to discuss firefighting possibilities in rural Ascot with us.” Lennoxville director general Jacques Gagnon said at Monday’s council meeting.Lennoxville council was responding to a motion passed at last week’s Sherbrooke city council meeting, extending an invitation to a Lennoxville delegation “It’s a bit late," Gagnon said, but he added that councillor Joseph McKercher and himself are willing to listen to what Sherbrooke has to propose.EXCLUDED After Sherbrooke signed the new deal to cover Ascot as of Feb.1, much controversy surrounded the exclusion of Lennoxville’s volun teer firefighters.Apart from servicing Lennoxville, the crew of 22 had served about 80 per cent of rural territory in Ascot.A shiny new 5000 gallon water tanker was purchased by the town last year to improve the service offered Ascot.Sherbrooke has said it would enlist the help of several volunteer departments to cover the vast territory, but until last Thursday, Lennoxville had heard nothing “official” from either Sherbrooke or Ascot.Gagnon said, seeming slightly insulted.“We heard unofficially.By that I mean the information came through the back door, when Ascot signed with Sherbrooke,” said McKercher, chairman of the council safety committee."We were surprised, a bit disap- pointed," he added.NO HARD FEELINGS “But we don’t want to start a squabble with either of the towns, and it ’s not our position to get invol ved in Ascot’s affairs,” McKercher said.Lennoxville is under no obligation to provide firefighting service to Ascot, but McKerckersaid it has a moral one to protect its neighbors, so the meeting will take place — at a yet undetermined date Neither Gagnon nor McKercher know what to expect from the anti-cipated round of negotiations with Sherbrooke, but money and authority will probably be on the agenda.“We don’t know what direction they want to take or what kind of arrangement they want to set up.We ll have to sit down with them and listen." McKercher concluded.oc I T ‘m h j: nj*#*/ Down she comes — almost Demolition workers took their first swing at a well-known Sherbrooke ; landmark Monday despite a hit of signal crossing by city officials.Local media were invited to picture oldfirestation \o.I.coming down i but when they arrived they found salvage crews inside, still taking out the good stuff.i The wreckers obliged however, clearing the building and then swinging their power shovel into action for a symbolic first blow.The rest of the demolition is set to begin — as originally scheduled — at 6 a.m.today. 4—The RECORD—Tuesday, February 13,1990 #1____fogj tfecoxn The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Parents responsible for delinquents Juvenile delinquency is a problem which troubles our society, the repercussions of which society must bear.The causes of juvenile delinquency are the lack of discipline and authority on the part of parents and their unwillingness to take responsibility for their children.Here’s a good example: recently, in a Sherbrooke high school, a student broke a class rule.W hen he refused to come to the head of the class, the teacher took the student by the arm and expelled him.The rest of the students filed out of the class in protest.Soon afterwards parents protested to the school’s principal — in support of the students.In order to restore peace, the principal ordered a leave of absence for the teacher.Meanwhile, the teacher’s file was given to the school commission to render a decision on the case.When parents are contacted after a student flagrantly breaks a rule, they typically excuse their child as being frustrated with the system.The student is always right, and the teachers are always wrong.The United States seems to have a solution to stop this intolerable trend.More and more states are now adopting legislation which makes parents responsible for the actions of their children.Under the law parents can be fined or imprisoned if found guilty of failing to keep track of their children’s antics.There are those who will be surprised at the redefining of parental responsibility by our southern neighbors.According to American legislators, parents have the legal and moral obligation to ensure that their children go to school and get satisfactory grades.Added to this is the parental responsibility of ensuring children avoid the problems of drugs and vandalism.Recently, some American youths found guilty on a drug offence saw their parents jailed for one year.The parents were charged with neglect of their parental duty.In another case, a family lost its welfare payments because they were judged to have failed to curtail their child’s behavior in class.Are these measures Draconian?Will it be necessary for our government to adopt similar laws?The answers may come sooner than we might expect.RÉAL HÉBERT Namibian Peace: Black Day for Black Rhino By Peter Kenny WINDHOEK (Reuter) — The peace descending on Namibia after 23 years of civil war is threatening one of Africa’s most endangered species, the black rhinoceros.Poaching in the vast territory has soared since South African troops started pulling out of game-rich areas near the Angolan border.The black rhinos are being exposed to the ravages of well-armed poachers who find it hard to support them-selves in an area which until last year was heavily dependent on a war economy.Namibia's Department of Nature Conservation says 29 rhinos were poached last year for their horns — prized in the Ear East as an ingredient in traditional medicines, and sought after for carved dagger handles in (he Middle East.Only three rhinos had been poached in 1988.Conservation officials say that, ounce for ounce, rhino horn is more valuable than gold.' We can expect an upsurge in poaching in the Etosha National Park when the rains come soon,” says Conservation Department head Polla Swart.Etosha is a vast and beautiful haven for about 320 black rhinos and more than 2,500 elephants, but it faces massive budget reductions as South Africa withdraws and cuts its aid to Namibia.ARMS AT LARGE South Africa and guerrillas of the South West Africa People’s Organization laid down their arms last year under a UN-sponsored ceasefire and independence plan for Namibia, which South Africa had governed under an old League of Nations mandate.‘ The end of the war in northern Namibia has resulted in masses of arms floating around in the heavily populated Ovambo region next to the Etosha Park,” Swart said.The ceasefire has also caused an economic downturn : the demobilisation of thousands of fighters from both sides has increased unemployment.While South African soldiers were in northern Namibia they implemented tough anti-poaching measures.A crack unit known as Koevoet — Crowbar — conducted anti-poaching patrols.But Koevoet was abandoned under international and internal political pressure.The black rhino, known as a cantankerous loner, is relatively plentiful in Namibia, but faces extinction in most other parts of Africa.In 1960, there were estimated to be 100,000 black rhinos on the continent; by 1980 there were 15,000, and the figure now is believed to be 3,400 — most in South Africa.Namibia and Zimbabwe.HORNY QUESTION In a bid to thwart poachers, game rangers in one area last year dehorned rhinos under sedation.Since then, poaching has stopped in that district and dehorned black rhino cows have given birth to healthy calves.So successful has the experiment been that conservation officials are debating the possibility of harvesting rhino horn for government profit — which would be likely to cause an international outcry.Namibia, like other southern African states, has an elephant population which is not endangered, and opposes the ban on the ivory trade implemented by the United Nations Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.But it supports the ban on trade in rhino horn which CITES imposed in 1977.Letters Preconceived misunderstandings of the scriptures Dear Sir, There are still people like Mrs.Dix who seems to believe that hell is a place of torment for some of the dead.As long as she slings to such preconceived misunderstandings of the scriptures, she will never come to a knowledge of the truth.The Holy Dear Sir : On July 31, August 1,2,3, the Ontario Chapter of the Doane Family Association of America, Inc., will be hosting the Biennial International Reunion of the Association in Toronto.The Reunion Committee wishes to contact any descendants of Deacon John Doane of Plymouth Colony who may not already be in touch and on the mailing list.Scriptures are the most reliable source of information for putting things straight.“For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; lor the memory of them i« forgotten." t Ecclesiastes Spelling variants are Done, Doan, Doans.Doane, Dunane.These descendants may wish to receive a Reunion Registration form, or they may wish just be be entered on the family tree and added to the mailing list.They should contact Mr.Don Bro-die, 9481 Leslie Street, R.R.#2, Richmond Hill.Ontario, L4C 7B4.or the 9:5) “Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might : for there is no work, no device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou gouest."

and sacrifices had been performed.It was because of this that it was regarded as a place of abomination, and it later became a garbage dump where fires were kept burning to burn up the rubbish.It is used in the Christian Scriptures to show the final end of those who died with no hope of any resurrection, total destruction.They were dead and the scriptures make it clear enough that the dead do not know or feel anything.Those whose final end is Gehenna are just rubbish, to be completely destroyed or burned up.I remember in Oshawa before the coming of plastic, there was a dump where the papers, cartons and any thing that would burn were got rid of.Gehenna, translated hell in the King James Bible, operated the same way to picture the final end of those who do not qualify for life in the New World Even the scribes and the Pharisees who along with the Jewish priesthood were the chief opponents of the truth, could suffer the same fare.(MaHhews 23:33) Isn’t it about time that honest hearted people should revise their old misconceptions about an invisible something which they had been led to believe leaves the body after it has become completely unconscious in death and goes on existing in a form that can be tortured eternally?The Lake of Fire and the Gehenna garbage dump picture total annihilation so that the person is completely out of existence forever.Yours very truly, GEORGE HALL Dunham i/j k The Christian Science Monitor Los Angeles Times Syndicate Done, Doan, Doans, Doane or Dunane Black hopes White fears Mandela and de Klerc seek national reconciliation JOHANNESBURG (AP) — Black hopes.White fears.These are the crucial factors that Nelson Mandela and President F.W.de Klerk must address as they set out on a precarious path in the direction of democracy and reconciliation in South Africa.For South African blacks, Mandela's release Sunday was cause for unprecedented jubilation.Hundreds of thousands danced for joy in the streets of their cities and townships, convinced at least momentarily that their own political freedom was a big step closer.Many whites were far less happy.Liberal leaders lauded de Klerk for boldness but businessmen and homeowners worried about a possible upsurge of violence; police struck back hard at rowdy black revellers, and right-wing politicans accused the president of surrender.“It’s complete capitulation,” said Koos van der Merwe, spokesman for the pro-apartheid Conservative party, when he learned Mandela would go free.“When the time comes, and they want to enforce black Communist government on the whites, they will have to do it by force.We won’t accept it passively.” De Klerk, raised in a prominent Afrikaner family that believed whites were destined to rule, is not yet on the brink of capitulation.His proposals for power-sharing between blacks and whites stop well short of the one-person, one-vote system demanded by Mandela and the African National Congress.SURPRISE MANY But the president’s moves in the past 10 days have taken both his supporters and opponents by surprise.When the cautious, low-key politician took office in August, few South Africans would have predicted he would transform the political landscape by lifting a 30-year ban on the ANC, suspending executions, freeing prominent prisoners, telling militant exiles they can come back home.These moves have won an unusual degree of international goodwill for South Africa, but de Klerk's standing among his own white constituents may depend on whether the ANC is willing to meet him part way with AP news analysis By David Crary concessions of its own.The president’s brother, liberal political analyst Willem de Klerk, has met several times with ANC leaders and predicted in a recent article that the movement would make compromises.These might include official renunciation of violence and modifications of the ANC’s socialist economic policy, he said.But Mandela, in his first speech since his 1964 treason trial, told a huge crowd in Cape Town on Sunday that the time for compromise had not arrived.He reaffirmed his support for the ANC’s guerrilla campaign and urged his followers to “intensify the struggle on all fronts.” JOHANNESBURG (AIM — After 27 years of silence.Nelson Mandela the man has replaced Nelson Mandela the myth.No longer the young lion of the antiapartheid struggle, he is now its weathered-faced elder statesman.But he still speaks with the authority and confidence that led so many of his fellow blacks to invest their political hopes in his leadership “I have fought against white domi nation.I have fought against black do mination.” he told tens of thousands of supporters in front of Cape Town City Hall shortly after his release Sunday.“I have cherished the ideal of a democratic and free society.(and) it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die,” he said.Millions of blacks got their first glimpse of Mandela on Sunday.The government had prohibited visitors from photographing Mandela since the 1960s, and only a handful of people knew what he looked like.He declared himself a “loyal and disciplined member” of the ANC and said nothing to substantiate South African press speculation that he might be at odds with some hard-line members of his movement’s exiled leadership.The speech was not likely to reassure uneasy whites but was almost certain to be well-received in the townships, particularly among young militants - hardened by years of street battles with police — who might have been wondering if Mandela had mellowed.URGE DISCIPLINE Mandela’s only admonition to the youths was to be disciplined.“I hope you will disperse with dignity,” he said at the end of an evening marred by clashes between looters and police."Not a single one of you should do anything that which will make other people say we can’t control our own people.” Beyond the ranks of his own follo- Mandela has clearly lost weight since he was jailed ; both his face and his body are leaner than when he was a sturdily built boxer decades ago.His face is creased with two thick lines that frame his strong, confident smile.His full head of hair is mostly gray, with a distinctive patch of while on the right side.His voice is full and strong, and he speaks like the lawyer he is, in slow, measured sentences.MANDELA SPEAKS “I place the remaining years of my life in your hands,” Mandela told his supporters in central Cape Town after his release.Despite his age.Mandela's walk is smooth and graceful, and he appears extremely fit.the result of a two hour daily exercise regimen that reportedly begins each morning at 3:30.In his first public appearance he was dignified, courteous and polite.In a well-cut suit, he looked much more a politician than a guerrilla leader.Nonetheless, his elderly appearance probably came as a surprise to wers, Mandela faces the challenge of resolving ANC feuds with other black factions to its left and right.To many, he is the only South African capable of this task.At the same time, he could boost the ANC’s long-term prospects by persuading a significant portion of the five million whites that their future in a black-ruled South Africa would be secure.He offered no specific inducements to whites on Sunday, but told them: “The freedom movement is a political home for you, too.” Mandela has stated in the past that he is aware of whites’ fears of black domination.De Klerk has said repeatedly that he understands blacks’ desire for full political rights.If they can find ways to convert this awareness into steps that make both blacks and whites feel more confident, then the “new South Africa” that each man envisioned in their weekend speeches might possibly materialize.many South Africans, the majority of whom were born after Mandela was last seen publicly in 1964.Pictures of him as a vigorous African National Congress leader in his 40s have been widely circulated in recent years.Hundreds of people at the rally wore T-shirts with that youthful face emblazoned on the front.Mandela’s reserved, even formal demeanor is likely to work in his favor among whites, who have long been flooded with government propoganda portraying him and the ANC as a Communist-led terrorist group President F W de Klerk and his go-vernment now say Mandela is committed to a peaceful resolution of the South African conflict, and like the blacks, have invested considerable hope that Mandela can succeed in bringing people together where others have failed.But Mandela stands firm on his commitment to a one-man, one-vote democracy.a system the government rejects.Mandela: Man replaces the myth The RECORD—Tuesday, February 13, 1990—5 Farm and Business —___Ml Kecora Cable industry is just the beginning — Wetston Watchdog is on consumers’ side MONTREAL (CP) — Canada’s competition watchdog says he plans to go after regulated industries in his drive to get the best deal for consumers and make the marketplace more competitive.Howard Wetston said Monday his recent plea to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission for greater competition in the cable industry was only the beginning of a more high-profile role he plans as head of the Bureau of Competition Policy.Wetston told a business luncheon, “I felt it was very important to go before the CRTC myself to advocate the competition policy (and) I intend to continue to do that.” He said the competition bureau will be scrutinizing other regulated sectors such as transportation, telecommunications and energy.Marketing boards will also be targeted.‘‘There are not a lot of industries where marketing boards are absolutely essential,” said the lanky, mustachoied lawyer who took over as the country’s top competition cop last fall.WATCH PRICES The agency’s immediate priorities include helping eliminate such practices as predatory pricing and drafting merger guidelines to help companies avoid running afoul of the law.Wetston said.Wetston served notice that the days under the old Combines Investigation Act, when the competition tribunal was considered a paper tiger, are over.Armed with the “stronger, more forward-looking” 1986 Competition Act, Wetston said, the agency plans to be “very vigorous in the area of criminal activity, in particular, price fixing and bid rigging.” Wetston noted that during economic slowdowns firms have a tendency to “get together more often in an attempt to protect profits.“We will be monitoring markets and we will be very vigorous in our application of the law,” Wetston warned.Wetston acknowledged that the tribunal’s approval this month of Imperial Oil’s $5-billion takeover of Texaco Canada took a long time : it was one year after the deal to unite the oil giants was announced."We are going to examine where the stumbling blocks were and we are going to try and correct them,” said Wetston, referring to Imperial Oil’s complaints about the lengthy process.Approval for the second-largest merger in Canadian history came after Imperial Oil agreed to sell more than 600 gas stations across Canada, a Nova Scotia oil refinery and a dozen terminals and other facilities.Wetston, who must approve purchasers of the assets, said there is a lot of follow-up work to do.“We have not yet had an opportunity to review any offers." he said.“We will probably be doing so in a month or so." Wetston has already signalled that he wants to make use of the anti-monopoly provisions of the Competition Act.The federal government is testing its power to bust alleged monopolies on NutraSweet, a protein-based artifical sweetener that Ottawa claims has used its market clout to freeze out competitors.Entrepreneur produces his own power By Suzanne Steel The Canadian Press Every day for months, Don Boothe admired the 12-metre waterfall he passed on his way to the Lava Mountain Lodge his family runs in the Northern Ontario town of Ramore.“I kept thinking what a waste it was, that it should be developed,” Boothe says.Four years after he bought the lodge in 1982, Boothe was operating his own hydroelectric plant, producing half a megawatt of power — enough to light up 160 houses.In a province struggling to cope with rising energy needs, entrepreneurs like Boothe are fuelling a boom in private generation.Each year, Ontario Hydro buys about 67 megawatts of power from 30 independent companies and 30 more have projects in the works, says Jay Shepherd, president of the Independent Power Producers’ Society of Ontario.Another 1,260 megawatts is generated by companies that supply themselves.“There's big money in it,” says Shepherd, a lawyer who represents private generators.“People are starting to see that.” It's also profitable for Ontario Hydro.REDUCES COSTS Among the benefits of what Hydro calls parallel generation are: — The private sector absorbs all capital costs — Hydro pays only for the power.— Less damage to the environment: there is no nuclear waste.acid rain emissions are less than from fossil fuel-burning plants and fewer major transmission lines are needed.— Since the projects are generally small they disrupt nearby communities less than large Hydro plants and can be built quickly — usually in two to five years.It can take up to 15 years to build a nuclear plant.But while Shepherd says private developers could supply all the future increase in demand for electricity in Ontario.Hydro is reluctant to rely on them.Since it cannot get assurances that enough private generating facilities will come on-line within 20 years.Hydro maintains it will need up to four new nuclear stations by 2014.But its long-term plan, to be reviewed later this year by an environmental assessment board, also aims to increase its use of electricity from the private sector to 2,700 megawatts.If Hydro paid private producers what it costs the utility to produce power, says Shepherd, they would earn three times as much as they do now and there would be an even greater boom in independent development, he says.He estimates that as it is private developers will spend more than half a billion dollars next year.The private companies produce electricity using heat from natural gas, water power, energy from solid waste like landfill or burning wood waste from pulp mills.Ajax Energy, east of Toronto, which burns wood waste to supply Supermarkets soon available at a front door near yours By Judy Creighton TORONTO (CP) — The day will come when food shoppers won’t have to go to the supermarket — it will come to them, a marketing consultant told the Canadian Meat Council on Thursday.“Instead of the shopper going to the supermarket, will the supermarket be outside the shopper’s door at designated hours?” Jerry Gerber asked the council’s annual conference.“Is home delivery of pizza a role model for the future?” In a talk on merchandising at the opening of the two-day conference, Gerber said it will be more common for grocery stores as well as fast-food establishments to offer delivery.In fact, he said, one of the largest McDonald’s restaurants in the world — Rush Street in Chicago — delivers already.Gerber, whose New York firm.Life Span Communications, tracks marketing trends, said although older people must be careful about their health and nutrition, they still long for food like chocolate and ice cream, “especially in the higher-priced quàlity and premium area.“If you’re going to eat chocolate or ice cream, it had better be good.” he said.BRAND-NAME MEATS?As a result, his firm expects to see brand-name labels on meat as well as new and innovative packaging techniques.Gerber cited a recent study by the Ministry of Agriculture in Quebec, which surveyed 942 people over age 60 on their meat preferences.“Beef was still the most popular source of protein," with 72 percent of the respondents saying they ate it a few times a week.Then came chicken (67 per cent), fish (36 per cent), turkey (17 per cent), pork (16 per cent) and veal (13 per cent).Gerber said statistics indicate one of three adults in Canada is over 50 and that proportion is expected to rise to two of five adults by the year 2011.In view of that, his firm has set up a laboratory to study older adults.Laboratory workers have already discovered older adults are critical of the way products are labelled.“They are critical very often of the amount and quality of information and they are critical of the size and readability of the information.” Gerber’s team also found older people afflicted with arthritis and other handicaps can have difficulty with pull-tab cans, zip-lock bags and clear plastic wrap.LIFE.THE GIFT THAT COMES FROM THE HEART «jiiwu H AP' fntiM>Ai;«iN steam to factories in the winter, will convert the steam to electricity in the summer and sell Ontario Hydro up to five megawatts of power.By comparison, one unit at the Pickering nuclear generating station, also east of Toronto, produces about 500 megawatts a year.Other private plants produce a fraction of a megawatt.The Ontario government made private generation a priority last summer.To promote it, a cogenerating division employing 22 people has been set up at Hydro.“The environment is right for private generation.” director Paul Vyrostko says.“Instead of putting steam in the air we want people to put a turbine on top of it and make electricity.” But he says extensive capital is required as it usually takes a company five or six years before it sees a return on its investment.While British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta all have programs to buy power from private generators, Ontario’s is by far the most aggressive.“But then Ontario also has the biggest (demand) problem,” Shepherd says.New Brunswick corporation makes big leap into deer farming By Tom McDougall CAMBRIDGE NARROWS.N.B.(CP) —Startled by a stranger entering their pasture gate, the deer spring into full flight.Like a stampedeof ballerinas, there’sonly a whoosh of displaced air as a hundred swift bodies leap in tight formation around the edge of the enclosure’s high fence.Then they settle down, realizing that the awestruck stranger means them no harm.In adjoining enclosures, similar-sized herds of deer stand stock-still at red alert, staring cautiously at the interloper.The unusual fences mark this as no ordinary farm.Framed by posts the size of telephone poles, the wire-mesh fences are higher than a tall man can reach.More to the point, they’re higher than a deer can jump.This is Cherry Hill Deer Farm, a new venture that its corporate owner hopes will help create a small revolution in Canadian farming.DIVERSIFY FARMS With 500 head of red deer imported from New Zealand, the former dairy farm overlooking Washade-moak Lake, about 70 kilometres east of Fredericton, is the largest of about half a dozen commercial deer farms in Canada.A much smaller herd exists in northern New Brunswick, while the others are in Ontario and Alberta.Cherry Hill represents a multimillion-dollar investment by its owner, the Fundy Cable TV group of companies of Saint John.N B.The company, which has an assortment of other investments, aims to put deer on to small farms, either as a lucrative sideline or as the farms’ main specialty.Begun in November, the Cherry Hill deer farm is still a source of local wonder, and streams of gawking motorists regularly drive by.John Foster, Fundy Cable’s vice-president of development.predicts many Canadian farms will diversify to include deer as part of their livestock herd.“On a lot of dairy farms, they already have the land,” he says."They have the labor and it doesn’t take a lot of labor to raise them.” SELL FAWNS The company set up Cherry Hill farm mainly as a breeding operation to sell fawns to prospective deer farmers.The entire current herd is breeding stock.Deer produce two lucrative products — venison and antler velvet.These products are so expensive and the demand so great, says Foster, the investment is bound to pay off.The velvet — antlers at an early stage of development — finds a ready market in the Orient, where it is regarded as an aphrodisiac and a cure for numerous ailments.The velvet from one animal can bring $800, Foster says.The demand for venison is also huge restaurants haven’t been able to get enough of it, he says.“It is an excellent quality meat, It’s low fat, low cholesterol, high protein and has excellent flavor.” Foster expects to be able to sell all the venison he produces in Canada.It will all go to upscale restaurants : the company doesn’t expect venison to become a supermarket commodity.Even if venison failed to catch on in Canada.Foster says, he has assurances from four West German companies and one in Austria that “they would be prepared to buy every ounce we could produce over here.” SHOT AS PESTS The inspiration for the farm came from New Zealand.where red deer were once considered pests and gunned down by bounty hunters before they were turned into farm animals.Choosing red deer for various reasons — including the fact that New Zealanders have already refined the art of raising them — Fundy Cable bought the herd and flew them to Canada.By time they were shipped and quarantined, they had cost the company $2,500 each, Foster says.That works out to more than $12.5 million for the full herd of 500.On top of that, there was the cost of buying the farm and importing deer experts to run it.The company chose Jeff and Fiona Graham, a couple who farmed deer in New Zealand.BEGAN AS HUNTER Jeff Graham, erecting a new section in the maze of high fences, says he started out not as a farmer but as a bounty hunter, shooting deer from a helicopter.When the hunters made the deer scarce, Graham was among the first to realize their potential as a farm animal.He captured some wild deer and set about raising them.“It’s been a fascinating industry,” he says in a broad New Zealand accent.“One day it was all right to shoot them from a helicopter and the next day it wasn't.” Deer are easy animals to maintain, Graham says.Except for feeding, they look after themselves.The New Brunswick government sees no danger of the imported deer affecting Canada’s wild stock of white-tailed deer.Red deer are genetically incapable of breeding with white-tails, says Dave Cartwright, a spokesman for the provincial Natural Resources Department.Graham adds that there’s no danger of escaped deer multiplying and becoming pests as they did in New Zealand.The high fences should make escapes rare.And even if some did escape, the red deer are so domesticated that they would probably try desperately to get back in.Business brief HULL, Que.(CP) — The federal broadcasting regulator has renewed the licence of a company that provides television signals to remote Canadian communities.The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission announced Monday that it will extend Canadian Satellite Communications’ licence for nearly four years.The company — generally known as Cancom — distributes television and radio signals to affiliates by satellite.It’s core market is communities that are not served by cable systems and receive two or less Canadian channels.In its decision, the commission said Cancom is playing an important role in the delivery of broadcasting options to small, remote communities.THERE’S

experts on snakes before you told F lart-ffltfd, "Pythons don't bite like rattlesnakes and cobras." Snakes have been my hobby for many years.I can attest to the fact triât pythons are good-natured, friendly reptiles, but they DO bite when they arc startled, underfed, mishandled or tormented.One of my favorite pets is an 8-foot Burmese python.In seven y$urs, he never caused any problems, so when he bit my hand, I wls stunned.Pythons' teeth arc very shjarp, and that bite was intensely panful.But it was my fault, because I jlet him out of his cage before Ïling time, and he was hungry, bite was not life-threatening.I ply applied some antibiotic salve a cold pack to bring down the spelling.Here's some advice to all snake owners: Make sure the cage is cs-cdjpe-proof.Allowing a snake to riôm unsupervised is dangerous.Mpst people know nothing about sryakes.If one should suddenly ajmear, the natural reaction is to destroy it.This is not necessary with pythons, in fact it almost always is a grave injustice.No name please, juit - PENNSYLVANIA READER DEAR PENN: Thank you for the short course in herpetology.I believe the natural reaction of a per- Ann Landers son who encounters a snake in a residential area would be utter terror and an instant wish to head in another direction.Snakes have a lousy public image dating back to the Garden of Eden.If you snake fanciers want to improve on it, your work is cut out for you.Dear Ann Landers: Bless you for printing the letter from the mother who said she would give anything to spend just an hour alone with her son.I know millions of mothers saw themselves in that woman's letter.For sure I did.I'm thankful that "Kevin" is married to a wonderful girl.We gel along beautifully, but I have not spent one minute alone with Kevin since the day they married.He is thoughtful and sensitive, but I wouldn't dream of mentioning this for fear of offending his wife.He has, on occasion, invited his father for overnight trips with other male friends, but of course a mother doesn’t fit in at such outings.We had a daughter who died in infancy.Kevin is our only child.I am reminded of that old saying, "A son is a'son 'til he takes a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all of her life." Need this be?- TORONTO DEAR TORONTO: It need not be, dear, but that's the way it is in the majority of cases.A sensitive, generous daughter-in-law will go out of her way to see that her husband spends a little private time with his mother, even if it's only an hour or two.All that is needed is a reminder.Perhaps this column will plant the seed.Dear Ann Landers: You've printed many letters and offered much of your own advice on this subject.How do you like this approach?Here is a grandmother's prayer for all occasions: Dear Lord, please help me always to know exactly how my grandchildren should be brought up - and keep it to myself.- THE BUTTONED LIP IN ARLINGTON, VA.DEAR BUTTONED: Beautiful.This prayer should be in the pocket of every granny when she goes to see her grandchildren.It will assure her of a warm welcome and an invitation to come back soon.ANN LANDERS® © 1990, Creators Syndicate By Paul Majendie DUBLIN (Reuter) — Shane Paul O'Doherty used to make letter bombs for the Irish Republican Army.Today he is a student leader pursuing an English degree at Trinity College in Dublin.He wrote letters of apology to his mutilated victims, renounced violence and emerged after 15 years in prison to start a new life.O'Doherty, now a frenetically energetic 34-year-old eagerly making up for lost time, joined the IRA as an idealistic teenager.Swept away by the romantic idea of a guerrilla group manning the barricades to protect the Roman Catholic minority in Northern Ireland, he was steeped in the bloody history of Irish independence.The son of a middle-class Catholic schoolteacher, he left a letter for posterity under the floorboards of his room, pledging to be an IRA martyr ready to die for Ireland.“I look back now with horror; I am now very wary of extreme chauvinism and patriotism,” he says, his disillusionment with the Republican cause complete.•OPPOSE VIOLENCE' “lam totally opposed to all violence.” he said in an interview in Trinity’s basement coffee room.“It horrifies me to look back at all those shattered bodies.” After studying English in prison, he was accepted by Trinity, founded in 1591.“To paramilitaries, I now argue on the productivity level: we can look back on 20 years of violence and see that it has totally failed.“There is also a moral and philosophical argument.I do ha ve basic Christian beliefs.” Almost 3,000 people have died during the past two decades in the IRA’s campaign to oust the British from Northern Ireland, and in sectarian violence between Catholics and Protestants in the province.Once O’Doherty turned his back on violence, British politicians and churchmen fought for years to gain early release for the man who received 30 life terms for his crimes.His letter-bomb victims ranged from the late British home secretary Reginald Maudling to a secretary at the British embassy in Washington who had a hand blown off.ONLY APOLOGY’ “I am the only person in the history of the Northern Ireland conflict who ever wanted to apologize to his victims,” says O’Doherty, a striking figure with curly red hair and beard.What did his victims think after O’Doherty was released last September?“I feel so annoyed that Mr.O’Do- herty comes out, goes to university and carries on a perfectly lovely life .but I have still got to serve my life sentence,” was the reaction of Derek Woodward, a former security officer at the Bank of England who lost an eye and a hand to a letter bomb At Trinity, O’Doherty was elec ted unopposed to the student union as national question officer, responsible for organizing meetings on political issues.He also works as a freelance journalist and is writing his autobiography.Does he ever feel a twinge of fear when opening his own mail?“I am aware that anyone in Ireland, north or south, is a potential target for violence,” he said.“I am going to die anyway.If I am to die violently, at least I will have worked for peace.” J&V1* HoteI SAwyERvilU Sawyerville, Que.(Cookshire Snowmobile Club) Join us on Saturday February 17th from 5 p.m.to 8 p.m.for a Méchoui Supper.Rocky River Band Admission: $10.00 Dinner & Dance $3.00 Dance only Everyone Welcome!

and this cutter must have been made sometime during the 15 years following that date because in 1908 the McLaughlin’s began making Buick car bodies — a venture which eventually grew into the General Motors of Canada with Robert Samuel as its president.But as I dust off this ancient cut- ter of ours 1 find myself thinking not so much of its unique place in this nation's history as the part it once played in maintaining a high Canadian birth rate.Because in yesteryear’s winters the horse drawn cutter was the ideal place for courtship.You must remember that sleighs and cutters were still very much in use long after the coming of the automobile.Or perhaps you are not old enough to recall the days when no sensible person would think of driving his Model-T or Four-Ninety Chev in winter.Come the first big snowstorm you wheeled the old jalopy into the garage, let the air out of her tires, jacked her up onto four big blocks of wood and you left her there high and dry to await the resurrection of April.If you weren’t the hibernating kind and you insisted on travelling the winter roads, y ou did it the sensible way — with a horse with a string of bells bouncing off his back and enough sense to know that the proper way to keep himself warm on an arctic night was to show a little speed.But, you may ask, weren’t there any snowplows in those days?Sure there were snowplows, but they were drawn by horses and their job was to make roads for horses.So the object was not to clear the road of snow.You needed that snow for sleighing, so after a storm the plow merely cut two furrows through the drifted snow, these furrows being the exact width of the runners of a sleigh or cutter.There was none of this “wide track” stuff then.Every sleigh and every cutter in the Dominion had the same spacing between runners.And if you were driving a team, the horses were hitched so that one animal could walk in one furrow and one in the other.If you were courting or going to church, or if you were one of these progressive people who had to get somewhere in a hurry, you probably drove a single horse — a fast one preferably — hitched to a cutter, and such a nag would be hitched off centre and to the left.Now I can’t tell you much about what it was like to use a cutter to get to church or to consummate some great business deal, but I can vouch for the fact, for courting, the old horse and cutter combination The Worry-Free I CIBCRRSP WPA a.nisi « « i ary zeth p lt'- r^Sht SMM '«Æf tWmSm w # mm » « » B HUM B • mm « Climb the ladder of financial security by investing in a CISC RRSP.You will benefit from substantial income tax savings, while planning for a comfortable, worry-free retirement.One of the keys to increasing your RRSP savings is the compound interest you earn.So the sooner you begin investing, the sooner compound interest goes to work for you-building year after year until rebrement.} Vl o/o Bonus Interest* In addition to our competitive interest rates, CIBC offers you V2°/o bonus interest if you contribute $5,000 or more or transfer $10,000 or more from another financial institution to a CIBC Guaranteed Rate Account RRSP Instant Tax Receipt** When you come to your CIBC branch we will help you in making your RRSP contribuhon, so it will be completed accurately, courteously.and quickly.We will issue an Instant Tax Receipt, which will allow you to file your tax return sooner.'Funds must be invested for a minimum 12 months.Limited time offer, subject to change without notice.Available until March 1st 1990 at all but a few remote branches.Not available for Self-Directed RRSPs or CIBC Mutual Funds RRSI’s.Extended Business Hours During the busy RRSP season, we make it easier for you to contribute to a CIBC RRSP with our extended business hours.We re open until 9 p.m.from February 26th to 28th, and until midnight on March 1st in most locations, where local regulations permit.CIBC offers you a wide choice of RRSP options to meet your needs.Remember, depositing regularly to a CIBC RRSP can help you retire worry-free.The key is to start early.So don t wait any longer !

damsel might be, she just couldn’t shrink herself out of reach.The seat just wasn’t wide enough for that.And besides, she had to stay close to keep warm.Then there was that Uig fur robe which was always part of cutter equipment then.Remember it?It would be made from bearskin or buffalo or a Galloway hide.It was supposed to cover only your knees but it was always so big that you and the girl could just disappear from sight under it — if she would consent, that is — and before the night was over she generally did consent.Mine did anyhow.Even the Presbyterians.Now you city people might wonder how you could drive when you were both covered up with a quar- ter acre of buffalo robe, but it was quite simple.You just wrapped the reins around the dashboard and let the horse do his own driving.All he had to do was to follow that rut the plow had dug out for him.Accidents?Yes, sometimes.But these were much more likely to result from overdoing the courting than from running afoul of traffic.If you didn’t see the other guy approaching and he didn’t see you, you might lock cutters or even upset.But chances were that he couldn't bawl you out about it because he too had been courting under the robe with the reins thrown over the dashboard.Honest now, did the coming of the plush-lined automobile do anything for the love game?Even if it had a heater in it?And a radio?And a back seat?Golden Age Club meets MANSONVILLE — Twenty-one Golden Agers met at the town hall on Tuesday, January 30, where they enjoyed a noon meal of hot chicken and biscuits made by Thelma Wilkins and

opponents compete, particularly at a high level of the bidding, they deprive you of scientific methods for reaching the best contract.But South thought he might make a slam, so he bid it.Often non-vulnerable opponents sacrifice in these circumstances, but not this time.Everyone passed, and West led his singleton club; low from dummy, 10 from East.Declarer won the club queen and played jack of spades.He intended to draw trumps ending in dummy, but the 4-0 split deprived him of that luxury Instead he played a second spade to the ace and then played queen and jack of hearts, finessing successfully twice.But now he was up against the cruel rocks of unlucky distribution.If he played a second club, West would surely ruff.But if he drew trumps in his hand, he would no longer be able to play a club through East’s king.Fortunately South was able to picture the end position.So he drew trumps in his hand, cashed the ace of hearts, and then played two more spades East had to discard six times as the spades were played.It was easy for East to throw two diamonds and three clubs, but on the last spade the pace of play slowed considerably.If East blanked the ace of diamonds, declarer would play a diamond and East would have to lead away from the K-8 of clubs.If East threw a club, declarer would play club ace, and the king would fall.And if East chucked the diamond ace, a diamond play up to the queen would force West to win and give up a trick to the queen.James Jacoby 's books “Jacoby on Bridge" and Jacoby on Card Games' (written with his father, the late Oswald Jacoby) are
