Bill’ By Beth Gorham TORONTO (CP) — If Bill Davis has changed since he ran Ontario for 14 years, he’s keeping it a secret.Davis, who elevated blandness to an art form before resigning as Tory premier five years ago, hasn’t lost his touch.“Has anybody told you I’m the worst interview in the world?” he says in greeting a reporter at his law office.“I never talk about myself.” Davis, ruddy-faced and robust at 60.leans back in his chair, sucks on a pipe and plays with the pens on his desk to avoid eye contact.What he doesn't say in his first interview in more than a year — is revealing.Meeeh Lake?No comment.Liberal Premier David Peterson’s performance’’ Hmmm.The sorry state of the provincial Conservatives?No way.STAYS ON FENCE ”1 have not been a Monday morning quarterback,” Davis, a longtime Toronto Argonauts fan, says with typical understatement and a quiet smile.“That does not mean I’m not vitally interested and keeping on top of what is happening.But I really have not publicly commented ” That kind of fence-sitting helped make Davis the longest-serving premier in Ontario this century.Across Canada, he has been topped only by Richard Hatfield, who ruled New Brunswick with an eccentric bent for 17 years.Voters came to trust Davis like a next-door neighbor.Reserved but polite — a small town family man with no visible excesses — he could be counted on to take the middle road.When he left Queen’s Park in 1985, his popularity was nearly as high as it had been when he first became premier in 1971.SOON HAD WORK Davis had no problem finding new work.He spent the first year after leaving the legislature as Brian Mulro-ney’s special envoy at the U.S.-Canada acid rain negotiations.The dollar bill he received for his acid rain report hangs on his wall, along with souvenir licence plates from visits by the Queen and Pope while he was premier.Work got more lucrative as corporate kingpins who had advised Davis while he was premier invited him to sit on their company boards.He says he’s not sure how many there are — 13 or 14, he casually concludes.There’s Magna.Ford.Seagram.Oh, and Nike: “They make great shoes.” Davis, with thinning white hair and a careful grey suit with white pinstripes.looks every bit the senior executive.His anchor is his office at Tory Tory DesLauriers and Binnington For a Conservative, the name has a nice ring and he is comfortable.HAS ASSOCIATES From his office window, Davis can see his pet project — the SkyDome.home of the Argonauts and the Toron- to mue Jays.John Tory, his former principal secretary, is two doors down the ball.And outside his door sits his assistant, Laird Saunderson.still with him after nearly 20 years.Davis says he doesn’t miss the trappings of the premier’s office, just the people.So he still gathers together the old gang every year to celebrate Christmas at a downtown restaurant.Former aide Ed Stewart, now a La-batt's executive, is usually there.Stewart has known Davis for almost 30 years and served as his deputy minister in education before moving with him to the premier's office.Even Stewart, though, knows little of how Davis coped with his emotional decision to leave politics after 25 years to spend more time with his wife, Kathleen, five children and three grandchildren.“If he found it difficult, the last poison who would talk about it was him,” Stewart says.“He’s a very private person.” HAD TO ADJUST Davis doesn’t deny the transition was awkward at first.“There is a degree of anonymity that I did not have before and that's a bit of a plus.The adjustment for me was to realize that there were (other) people running the store.” Now, his business commitments take him to financial capitals and charity work eats up a lot of time “1 find it very difficult to say no to people when asked to help ” Davis also stepped back into poli tics, briefly, to support Mulroney in the November 1988 election.And he makes the odd speech, though never about anything controversial.He manages annual trips to his Florida condominium, summer weekends at his cottage on Georgian Bay and time at home in Brampton, near Toronto.“I confess to you that l watch question period on occasion.I shut my eyes and while the issues are different, some of the terminology is the same, some of the give and take sounds like it used to.” MAY DO BOOK Davis says he may relive some of his political past in a book.“Some people have suggested the sooner you do it the greater the interest may be.But that doesn't weigh on my approach to it.” It certainly won’t be a critical book in the style of Erik Nielsen, the former deputy prime minister who released a kiss-and-tell saga last year.Something more issue-oriented.Separate school funding, which Davis ushered in, would be part of it.The process leading to the patriation of the Constitution — in which Davis played his favorite role of conciliator — would likely be front and centre.The homey clock in his office strikes the hour.“When you listen to your tape," he says as he ushers out the reporter, '‘you’ll realize I haven't told you anything you didn't know.” Bland Brampton Bill has done it again. The KKi'OKI)—Krul.iv March 9.1990—5 Behind the news —_____ftB-l uccora Observers : Unarmed umpires or sitting ducks?By Robert Russo TEGUCIGALPA (CP) — Polynesians present ieis, Europeans tend to favor a two-cheek kiss, but Col.John Joly was treated to a tragically typical introduction to Central America.Joly, w ho is part of a Canadian contingent of United Nations observers in Central America, was in an idling car at an intersection in San Salvador, the capital of El Salvador.A camouflaged armored troop carrier roared up on a hill beside him.Before the light turned green, 20 rounds of machine-gun fire tore across the hood of his car and smashed into the building beside him.‘ It got my attention,” said Joly, a 42-year-old infantryman from Calgary.“But I quickly learned that it’s just a reality of life down here.” A reality that, for most of this century, has been as much a part of the landscape as the jagged mountains and lush jungles the fighting factions use to wage their wars.For the past three months, United Nations observers from Canada and five other countries have had their headquarters in a hacienda-style.two-storey home in Honduras — right in the middle of what one diplomat called “the Mayan mess.” „ To the west lies El Salvador, where Marxist guerrillas have battled the government in a Woody civit war for a decade.Honduras also shares a border with Nicaragua to the south and has allowed an army of Contras fighting the former Sandinista government to set up bases near the Nicaraguan border.The UN observers, who go by the Spanish acronym ONUCA, will be unarmed and will staff 33 observation posts throughout Central America.Their only task will be to report any movement of arms or men across the region’s borders to the United Nations.They are not expected to keep the peace.“We’re just like international marriage counsellors," said John Pullman, a helicopter navigator from Stratford.Ont.“If the two sides want to fight, we can’t just stand in the middle and get hit.SUPPORT It seems the Hondurans want ONUCA to succeed Pullman and seven other Canadians caused quite a stir when they landed four Canadian Jet-Ranger helicopters in a grazing field in the town of Danli, about 10U kilometres east of Tegucigalpa.An ancient truck and battered bus, with passengers leaning out of glassless windows, stopped on the town's main road as the choppers appeared over the mountains.Several of the town’s elders ambled out of chairs in the shade to cranefor a better look, and several barefoot children scampered on to the field, clutching tiny Canadian flags they had been given earlier.CAPTAIN MOBBED When Capt.Steve France showed up for a chat at Danli's allgirl high school in his combat uniform and powder-blue beret, he was practically mobbed ‘‘They swarmed all around us for half an hour asking for autographs," said France, as he guided his four-wheel drive vehicle along a road lined by banana trees "It makes it a lot easier when the people want you here.” These people don’t represent any threat.A far greatest danger lies in the legacy of war that has been endemic to Central America for de cades.“There are 100,000 landmines out there that can’t be accounted for,” said Brig.-Gen.Ian Douglas, the Canadian Forces officer who is second in command of ONUCA "No one knows what happened to them or where they are." Farmers are regularly maimed by the mines along the Nicara-guan Honduran border.But there is also a danger for those in the air.SITTING DUCKS The helicopters are relatively slow sitting ducks to some bored, teenaged peasant-turned-guerrilla who was trained to fire his AK-47 automatic weapon at anything that moves in the air.The threat may become greater if.as some officers suggest, the United Nations will be asked to supervise the disarming and disbanding of the Contras.But Joly.who is serenaded almost every night by the sounds of crackling firelights, said the UN presence could be the first step needed to end the cycle of war in Central America.“If we waited until things calmed down, we would never get here.” Boredom: Extra pay makes lonely posting worth it By Robert Russo TEGUCIGALPA (CP) — War is hell, an old soldier once said.But he was probably never up for a hitch with the Canadian Forces contingent in Central America.Several Canadian officers in Honduras as part of the United Nations observer force say there’s no life like it—and they’re lining up to extend their tours.Along with being eager to serve Queen and country, the 120 soldiers here might also want to buy that spiffy new pick-up truck when they get home.Every member of the UN team is paid a daily stipend in U.S.dollars according to rank.Added to that is a Canadian allowance based on previous service.All of this is in addition to their regular salaries.Depending on rank, the extra money can add up to almost $50,000 Cdn a year on top of regular salaries for senior officers.“I’m frying io see the career ser- vices manager about extending my tour for another six months,” said one major, sitting beside a hotel pool amid the peaks covered by pastel-colored homes in the Honduran capital.The major, who’s already committed himself to a one-year stay, figures to make an extra $42.000 on top of his regular salary of almost $60,000.Like most of the Nicaraguan border.UNEVENTFUL PATROLS He doesn’t spend any time peering into binoculars from an observation post high in the air.He jumps into a jeep and drives along roads lined by coffee fields and banana trees looking for cross-border shipments of arms or men.But he hasn’t seen a Contra or communist guerrilla since arriving three months ago.Most of the movement in the area is made by sun-drenched ran-chers astride horses, straw cowboy hats pulled low over their eyes, bringing cattle back from grazing.While France, who is normally based in Kingston.Ont., admits little happens in Danli, he is also about to sign on for a longer hitch.Hopefully, a VCR will arrive soon.“Everybody wants to stay the extra six months,” said France.“Otherwise, you’d have to go back in the middle of winter." Brig-Gen.Ian Douglas, the Canadian officer who is second in command of the UN observer mission, attributes the high rate of renewal to officer enthusiasm for the task.“They’re all so damned busy and they love their work,” he said.But another officer, wearing the tropical leisure uniform and desert boots, said tropical weather and money have more to do with the enthusiasm.“One of the biggest tasks they’re going to have is keeping the men from getting bored.” men here, he expects his regular salary to go straight into the bank.SPRAWLING VILLAS Given the weakness of the lempira.the local currency, it would take an orgy of spending to blow $42,000 in one year Many of the soldiers have rented sprawling villas, with maids, for less than $500 a month.Some of the others will have to make do in hotels, where they can take a break from the tropical sun by poolside, for $175 a month, meals included.There are hardships.Most of the men are separated from their families, and there are no privates or corporals around to change flat tires on the trucks.But there have been several fuel shortages over the past six weeks, so many of the observers have not been able to use their four wheel-drive vehicles and helicopters have been grounded.There are also risks.But the soldiers seem to have a hard time figuring out what they might be.“There’s no tension,” said Capt.Steve France, pausing to place a pinch of tobacco between the inside of his lower lip and his teeth.“There’s been no border incidents.I mean, just look at this place,” he said, after dropping a sphere of brown spittle into a little cup he carried.France, who hopes to pay off his mortgage with the extra money he’ll make, is an observer based on the outskirts of Danli.about 100 kilometres east of the capital of Tegucigalpa near the Honduran- Scotland Yard: Black museum not for squeamish By Peter Millership LONDON (Reuter) — Scotland Yard’s Black Museum is not for the squeamish or the faint of heart.Perhaps it’s just as well that the museum isn’t open to the public.The dimly lit chamber’s grisly exhibits include bits of victims from one of Britain’s most horrific series of murders and the glinting steel used to slice then up.Death masks of executed crimi- cial name of Scotland Yard.nais stare down at visitors and the ropes by which they were hanged give a macabre atmosphere to Room 101 of the headquarters of London's Metropolitan Police, offi- Founded in the 19th century, this chamber of horrors charts 850 cases cracked by "The Met.” By far the most stomach-churning display is a bathtub.stove, pots and knives used by serial killer Dennis Nilsen to butcher and dispose of many of his up to 18 victims.“I lose about five visitors a week in here (when they faint),” Bill Waddell, the dark-suited curator, tells a small party of guests invited by senior police officers.Nilsen cut up and boiled his victims, then crammed their remains down sewers.“Any of you cook?" asks Waddell.“Well that’s human stock," he says, pointing to a glutinous mass.“Are you always that white?” Waddell asks an increasingly pallid visitor.“If you're going to faint, then collapse in the bath and we won t have to worry about you.” The museum is used to train police officers, but is also a bizarre tribute to some of Scotland Yard’s cases covering murder, terrorism and forgery.Sepia photographs from late last century show the disembowelled victims of Jack the Ripper, who terrorized London’s gas-lit streets and was never caught.Other spine-chilling murders de- tailed include that of John Christie, a necrophiliac, who killed up to seven women, then had sex with their bodies.GRIM GAMES The cruelty of notorious London gangs of the 1960s is captured by an electric generator used to torture victims.“One gang leader used to nail you to the floor.” says Waddell, a criminologist who served 30 years in the police force before becoming curator.There is a section complete with whips, spurs, shackles and a flog-ging frame removed from brothels.In another part of the museum two severed forearms float ominously in a glass case.They lielon ged to a suspect who shot himself in Cologne.Scotland Yard had asked for fingerprints."The Germans sent the arms," says Waddell."A typical example of Teutonic efficiency.” Also on show is possibly the world's smallest murder weapon, a pellet used to kill Bulgarian dissi dent Georgi Markov in London in 1978.It contained just a fraction of a gram of poison FLQ: Ex-terrorist still for independence — and Meech Lake By John Davidson MONTREAL (CP) — “I’m the only businessman in Canada who’s been in the slammer for terrorist activities,” Gérard Pelletier jokes as he stands in the boardroom of his public relations firm.The onetime member of the separatist Front de libération du Quebec, which once sent shivers through the country, now- has a classy downtown Montreal office overlooking chic Phillips Square.This confident 40-year-old can even kid about the hard time he served in decrepit St-Vincent-de-Paul penitentiary when he was 20."At least I had an honest reason for being there,” Pelletier says sardonically, expressing no regrets about his FLQ past.Despite the easy humor, the tall ex-terrorist in the tailored suit has the aura of someone who has used his fists and could use them again.“I don’t want to.it’s not my style, but.," he says enigmatically.HELD UP BANK Pelletier was a university student when on Sept.10.1971.he — along with two other FLQ members who had just escaped from Ar- chambault prison — held up a bank to raise money for the group.When the three were surprised by a passing policeman, Cst.Jacques Chartrand, one of them shot him in the back.Chartrand survived and the trio was captured.Pelletier.who had only recently joined the FLQ, drew a seven-year prison term It’s been two decades since those frightening days when the FLQ tried to force Quebec out of Canada through bombings and kidnappings — including the murder of provincial cabinet minister Pierre Laporte.Pelletier was paroled in 1975, graduated from university in economics and got his master of business administration degree in 1986.Through it all, the goal of an independent Quebec remained his prime passion.But now.he says, he's willing to wait.FOR MEECH ACCORD In what seems like a contradiction, Pelletier backs the Meech Lake accord, which is designed to hold Quebec in Canada by recognizing the province as a distinct society.“If English Canada doesn’t accept Meech, it’s inevitable that Quebec will separate," says Pelletier flatly.* Then how can he support it?Logically, like Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau, he should hope that Meech fails because it will push Quebec out and the sepa- ratists may win.“No, no, your mind is not subtle enough, my friend," Pelletier says with an amiable laugh."We’re going to leave sooner or later, but we want Meech accepted so we can leave when we want to.not when we’re forced into it.“Look, we don't want people to panic.We want them to see independence as a natural, safe process.Meech is a perfect way to keep the waters calm for another 10 years or so.“If you’re not flexible in the modern world, you die.I listen to some of these politicians — both French and English — talk about Meech and I wonder if they’re not dead already.” STILL POLITICAL From revolutionary politics, Pelletier has jumped into the conventional arena: he has created a municipal political party in the well-off Montreal community of Outremont.His main adversary is Outremont Mayor Jérome Choquette, the man who was Quebec justice minister in 1970 when Pelletier along with hundreds of others were rounded up and jailed under the provisions of the War Measures Act."Pelletier definitely represents a certain segment of Quebec society.” says Choquette in an interview.“I don’t agree with these people, but they haven’t gone away since the 1980 referendum: they still represent Quebec’s nationalistic resentment of English Canada.” In 1980, about 40 per cent of the ballots cast in the referendum fa vored sovereignty-association.“I don’t want io make judgments on Pelletier personally,” says Choquette.“But his nationalistic activities have got him into trouble before and they’ll get him into trouble again.” PROUD OF PAST Pelletier, who lost to Choquette by a wide margin in the 1987 mayoralty race in Outremont, has recently drawn attention for his criticisms of Outremont’s Hassidic Jewish community, accusing the ultra-orthodox group of refusing to integrate into Quebec’s francophone society.But regardless of whether anyone agrees with his political views, Pelletier says exactly what he thinks and talks proudly about his past.“Back in the late 1960s and 1970s — just like today — there were a lot of Quebec indépendantistes talking tough in bars and taverns,” he says.“But courage is not something that everyone possesses.There are very few people, for example, who’d have the guts to join the FLQ.“I don’t say I speak for all Québécois — just the ones who have a heart and a soul and want us to pursue our destiny like we have to.” N.Y.child crime : One boy burns another over crack refusal NEW YORK (AP) — David Au-pont spent his 12th birthday Thursday fighting for his life after being beaten with a bat, tied up and selon fire in a garage because he refused to smoke crack.While David couldn’t celebrate, former U.S.president Ronald Reagan.the White House and New York Mayor David Dinkins were among more than 100 well-wishers who showered him with cards, gifts, balloons, flowers and messages, said hospital spokesman Diana Goldin.A 13-year-old suspect was arrested Wednesday and charged in the attack, which ieftthe victim in cri- tical condition.David, who was walking to school with three friends when the Wednesday-morning assault began, suffered second- and third-degree burns over 55 per cent of his body.Police said his attacker soaked him with gasoline and set him aflame.“This is going to be a long road for this young man,” Dr.Cleon Goodwin, head of the burn unit at New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Centre, said.NEEDS OPERATIONS Goodwin said even if everything goes perfectly in David’s recovery, he still will he in hospital for up to four months.He will require a se- ries of skin-graft operations, which could begin as soon as today.David suffered burns on his chest, stomach, arms, legs, chin and mouth.The boy is in critical but stable condition, Goodwin said, adding the next few days are a critical time in his survival.“He's a fighter,” Goodwin said.“If you ask him if it hurts, he says: No,’ even when we know it does.He’s tough.” Police remain unsure what prompted the attack, but the boy told witnesses in his Brooklyn neighborhood he was set afire after refusing to smoke crack.An older cousin of David's, Odrige Aupont, said the attacker approached David and asked if he used crack, then ordered him to smoke some.When David refused the youth set him on fire, the cousin said.Goodwin said David’s parents, Luther and Premese Aupont.have been with him as much as they can.“He does know it’s his birthday.He’s pretty overwhelmed by what’s been going on," the doctor said.The boy’s father was sitting in the lobby of the hospital after the news conference, holding a floral arrangement sent to his son.He said he spoke with the boy but star- ted crying and couldn’t continue.David, a clean-cut boy who attended the sixth grade, is “a normal kid.He got along with (other) kids," said his stepbrother, 22-year-old Rudy LeBrun.David’s family moved to New York from Port-au-Prince, Haiti, about 18 months ago.In addition to his stepbrother, the boy has a 15-year-old sister, Naomi.The suspect, who was not identified because of his age, was charged with attempted second-degree murder, first-degree assault, second-degree kidnapping, robbery and attempted robbery, said police spokesman Hugh Barry.Barry said the suspect allegedly robbed two youngsters on their way to school on Tuesday.Those two were walking with David and a fourth youth on Wednesday mor ning when the 13-year-old came at ter them again, he said.The first two youths recognized the boy and ran away, but the 13-year-old allegedly cornered David and the fourth youth, robbed David’s friend, then grabbed David and dragged him into a garage, police said.David, his hands tied behind his hack, was beaten with a baseball bat and set on fire inside the garage, authorities said.David escaped and ran to an auto body shop, where he received help.ORIGINAL MICROFILMED AT VARYING INTENSITIES BECAUSE THE TEXT IS PRINTED ON GREYISH OR COLOUR BACKGROUND. 6—The RECORD—Friday, March », 1»»0 Living Roconi Citizen Effectiveness Week: April course promotes advocacy By Rosemary Sullivan The Townshippers' Association is offering a course in Citizen Effectiveness.Susan Mastine — inspired by Ralph Nadar's speech “Strategies for Training Citizen Advocates" at the Canadian Association for Adult Education National Conference hosted by QAAL ( Quebec Association for Adult Education) at Bishop’s in the summer of 1988 — has created "Citizen Effectiveness Course" and “A Citizen’s Guide to Community Action".Susan put out the call to 23 adult educators and active community members last October to form an ad hoc committee to explore the needs for effective citizenship-skills among the Eastern Township English speaking community.This in itself is quite a feat, as our community extends over 10,000 square miles of farmland, rolling hills and mountains.This group has met twice to give Susan support and feedback on her work.She has done a great job of creating "A Citizen s Guide to Community Action" in two editions for the two main areas of our community- These guides include maps and assorted information sources, centres and hotlines and sections on "Getting Involved”, "Letter Writing”, “Telephone Trees”, “Starting a Group” and bibliography.These resource guides are available “to individuals and groups in need of information and/ or guidelines for action regarding issues of concern to them.” The course will be launched with the help of Champlain College (Lcnnoxville) to coincide with Citizen Effectiveness Week, April 15.It will be held twice a week in two key locations.A QAAL board member has been asked to be the animator for the course.Eastern Township community members (and another QAAL Board member.“yours truly”) who have expertise in the various areas the course covers have been invited to come in for specific evenings.For more info, call Susan at 819-566-5717 (2313 King St.W., Suite 308, Sherbrooke, Que .J1J 2G2 or call the Cowansville office at 263-4422.The course will look at how we empower ourselves and others as citizens, how we strategize aound issues of concern and bring about effective social change.The course will cover such areas as forming and building groups, the role of the media, “lobbying” (building relationships with political representatives and coalitions with other groups which have similar goals) and speaking in public.I am very excited to have been a part of helping this project happen.I have found that actively participating in bringing about positive change is energizing.Do you ever wonder why “the same people” turn up on committees.One of the reasons I bet is that actively participating in the life of your community brings back more energy than von not out.Each individual bene- fits from being a part of the whole, just as the whole benefits from the input of each individual.Learning skills w hich enable you to partici pate in groups in a way that is ener gizing and fun and an on going learning and renewal experience is what this Citizen’s Effectiveness Course offers.It will also offer you a chance to meet other individuals in your area who are interested in acting collectively to “grow” a healthy community.Whether you are creating a new group to accomplish a goal, or a part of an existing group, it is always necessary to brush up on how you can be more effective as part of a group.We live in groups from the time we are born until we die.Often what we learn about groups in our families is not very helpful because many of us come from "dysfunctional families”.Some resources available include the “Leadership and Group Development” and “Intervention and Collaborative Change” booklets by Medley G.Dimock available from Office for Educational Practice, University of Guelph, Guelph, Ont.NIG 2W1.An on-going tradition begun while Professeur Dimock was at Concordia University, the Centre for Human Relations and Community Studies Residential Program runs from May 26 to June 1 this year at Bishop's in Lcnnoxville.For

again flourish- free and open Inquiry about anything is the most substantial of political acts, which is why so many try so hard to control so much information.In this Mindbook.that relationship is

province.The centre caters almost entirely to single mothers, serving two purposes.The first is to provide mothers with some time away from kids so they can sit back and relax, find a job or busy themsleves with other activities."It frees women for at least five hours a day to relax, otherwise mothers go berserk," said Mireille Beaudoin, a single mother of four.The second purpose is to reduce the incidence of violence directed towards children which sometimes results when mothers suffer from the stress of not having any time for themselves.The centre also offers kids a balanced meal at lunch time.“Single-parent families need these kinds of centres for the psychological, emotional and physical health of their kids," Beaudoin said.As for the need for nutrious meals: "Moisson Estrie provides us with some food for the kids’ lunch," Marcotte said.Funding for the centre comes mainly from religious organizations and unions."Our objective this year is $3000.We need the money for interior and exterior furniture, so we can make the place more functional,” Marcotte said.Beaudoin said about 125 single parent families use the centre every year.“They almost live 110 per cent under

me.They told of amputees who had won sporting events.I was especially thrilled to read about a college quarterback who had lost a foot and is now playing football.These success stories gave me the encouragement I needed to face the future with hope and optimism.Today, two years later, I have a prosthesis and am back at the gym six times a week.No one would know that I wear a prosthesis unless

Dear Ann Landers: I know you don't run newspapers, you only work for them, but since you have access to a lot of editors and publishers, maybe you will deliver this message from some very important people — their subscribers.Most folks get their news these days from TV.True, TV doesn't cover events in depth the way newspapers do, but many of us are too busy to read detailed news stories anyway.We buy the paper for the comics and the columns.These we can't get on TV.My pet peeve, and the peeve of lots of other readers I’m sure, is when the paper is changed around so we can't find our favorite columns, especially yours.Why don't they leave things alone?It is frustrating to pick up the paper and discover that they have changed the format around, and nothing is where it used to be.I used to be able to find you in a minute because of your picture.Well, now that's gone, you're in a different place every day, and I am - ONE DISGUSTED READER DEAR DISGUSTED: lamareader of newspapers as well as a columnist, and I appreciate your comments.Somepapersneed to be redesigned, and when a new editor comes in, he or she does the job.There are instances, however, when the paper looks great, and simply for the sake of change, the paper is ripped apart.This often upsets subscribers, because they don't like the new look.Be that as it may, my edi tors do not tell me what to write, and I would not presume to tell them how to put out the paper.I will print your letter, however, because it is important that your opinion be considered.Thanks for writing.CANADIAN I SOCIETE CANCER | CANADIENNE SOCIETY I DU CANCER VANCOUVER (CP) — Some B.C.students are trying a new technique to cool tempers and quell schoolyard feuds.The technique is a peer mediation process in which a team of trained student mediators inter-venes to resolve student conflicts.So far, the results have been spectacularly good, school spokesmen say.“I think it’s absolutely wonder- FLORIDA from HOTEL AND AIRFARE - PLUS RENTAL CAR 10 flights weekly from Montreal!

and Central secondary in Victoria were the first B.C.schools to try student mediation.This month, several other high schools in the province will run pilot programs.At Frank Hurt, 18 student mediators were available from last April to June.They handled about 10 disputes over a 10-week period.The students involved in the disputes abided by the agreements, says Hagney.During the mediation process, students learn to listen, communicate, manage their anger and solve their problems, she says.GIBSONS, B.C.(CP) — Lectures aren’t effective in stopping prejudice, says the co-ordinator of the Vancouver school district’s multicultural education program.“Prejudice is a personal issue — it happens because of something inside you, and you can’t lecture people into submission,” Andy Krawczyk said during a week-long retreat to discuss racism and how it can be overcome.About 90 students from 15 Vancouver high schools gathered for the retreat.The students, some from schools where ethnic groups are tightly segregated, were mixed with children from all races and all schools.Krawczyk said that at the end of the retreat at a camp north of Vancouver, perhaps the students will learn “not to see blacker yellow or brown, but Jose and Man-dy and Nancy.” Prélude au printemps PORTES OUVEPTEcS mercredi et jeudi les 14, 15 mars 1990 10 h à 17 h 30 AMENEZ UN(E) AMI(E) DES CADEAUX RAFFINÉS .ET DES

amendments applicable to 1989 8) Definition of a Spouse The Income Tax Act contains a definition of spouse for the sole purpose of RRSPs.The spouse of an individual is a person of the opposite sex w ho: i) is married to the individual: ii) has been living with the individual in a conjugal relationship for at least one year; iii) lives with the individual and is the father or mother (natural or adoptive) of a child whose father or mother is the individual.This definition permits: a.the provision of survivor benefits to a common-law spouse under an RRSP annuity or a RRIF, or b.the tax-free transfer of RRSP funds to the RRSP or RRIF of the common-law spouse where the taxpayer dies before his or her RRSP has been matured.This definition does not apply for the purposes of claiming a deduction for regular contributions made to the RRSP of the common-law spouse.9) Refund of RRSP Premiums to a child Starting in 1989.all amounts paid from an RRSP to a child or grandchild dependent on the deceased annuitant are included in the dependent person’s income rather than that of the annuitant, provided that the annuitant did not have a spouse at the time of death.Tax talks The child or grandchild dependent on the decased annuitant may obtain a deduction for a refund of premiums provided that the amount received is used to purchase an annuity for a term not exceeding 18 less the dependent person's age at the time the annuity is purchased.The child or grandchild will be considered dependent on the deceased annuitant if: i) the child tax credit is claimed only by the deceased annuitant in his income tax return, or ii) the child’s or grandchild's net income is $5,000 or less.10) Tax on Excess Contributions The Income Tax Act provides for a penalty on excess contributions to an RRSP equal to 1% per month.This penalty continues to apply in 1989 and 1990.H RAYMOND.CHABOT, charleled MARTIN, PARE accountants Campeau Corp.: Up to its neck in hot water TORONTO (CP) — Troubled Campeau Corp.said yesterday it has decided not to make interest payments worth more than $6 million on big loans from two major lenders.Failure to make the payments, due Wednesday under a special arrangement last week that gave them an extention, means Campeau now is in default on the loans.However, the lenders have already agreed they will not move to collect their collateral without giving nine days' notice.The loans, worth almost $833 million.were made by two subsidiaries of Olympia and York Developments Ltd., owned by the Toronto Reichmann family, and by the Ohio-based developer.Edward J.Debartolo Corp.Campeau “expects to continue discussions with Olympia and York and DeBartolo regarding the development of a long-term business plan for the operations of the corporation,” the company said in a statement.Word of the default followed intense discussions with the lenders late into the evening Wednesday.Campeau spokesman Dick Wer-theim said in an interview a deal to defer payments for several weeks had been worked out Wednesday with Olympia and York and was contingent on a parallel deal with DeBartoIo.But the DeBartoIo talks fell through, he said.DeBartoIo has claims on Cam-peau’s California-based Ralphs Grocery Co.chain, but the Ralphs shares are held by another Cam- Business briefs NEW YORK (CP) — Newfoundland’s relatively poor credit rating of Baal has been confirmed by Moody’s Investors Service, the credit rating agency said Thursday.The rating reflects the province’s limited economy and marginal resources for financing significant annual budget deficits and supporting long-term debts, says a release from Moody's in New York.______ TORONTO (CP) — TMB Industries, an 80 per cent owned subsidiary of Onex Corp., has agreed to acquire The Crosby Group, a manufacturer and distributor of components for the lifting and material handling industry Onex, which has stakes in the catering, packaging, transportation, equipment leasing and food processing industry, created TMB last year to pursue industrial acquisitions.peau company that is under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in the United States.NEEDS APPROVAL That means DeBartoIo would have to line up with other creditors to seek the approval of a bankruptcy court judge to seize the Ralphs assets, Wertheim said.The collateral on the Olympia and York loans includes various properties.Neither DeBartoIo nor Olympia and York have yet given notice they intend to seize assets, he added.“Our focus, and their interest as well, is on the long-term plan for the continued operation of the company,” Wertheim said.The Reichmann and DeBartoIo loans were used to help finance Campeau’s ill-fated $l()-billion pur-chase of U.S.retailers Allied Stores and Federated Department Stores.But unlike most of the financing, these loans were guaranteed by the Toronto-based parent.Allied and Federated are currently operating under Chapter 11 of U.S.bankruptcy laws, which gives them some time to re-organize under court direction.“There really is no question that we have the $5.2 million US ($6 million Cdn) to pay if we wanted to,” Wertheim said.“Our focus is what is best for the corporation over the long term.And along those lines, our discussions with all lenders are focussed on the long term, not satisfying something on a day-to-day basis.“We didn’t feel that paying this loan at this time would be helpful in that regard.” Trading in Campeau Corp.stock was halted at the open of the Toron to Stock Exchange today.After the announcement, trading resumed at $2.15 a share, down 15 cents on a low volume.mo cacr J Discuss garbage with citizens, industries and environmental groups City engineer wants solution to waste problem By Jean Potvin SHERBROOKE — The city’s engi neers wants $200.000 to study the gargage problem at the local dump, and another $121 000 for projects concerned with selective garbage collection.In a report tabled Monday night at city council, city engineer Georges Emond outlined the four objectives of his drive against garbage: reduction, re use.recuperation.and recycling of municipal rubbish.He also w ants to ensure safe dis- posal methods so Sherbrookers can continue to enjoy a clean environment.’We must know what and how to dispose of the garbage so our city dump will last." he said.The third objective is to get everyone involved in the elaboration of a master plan We w ant to discuss the garbage problem with citizens, industries and environmental groups." Emond said.Back in 1978.35,000 metric tonnes were buried at the local dump.Today.85.000 tonnes of re- Too many bumpers wrinkle at 8 clics WASHINGTON (AP) — Small cars that should be protected from damage by their bumpers at low speeds cost between $769 US and $3,838 to repair after four test bumps, an auto-safety institute reports.The most damaged among 16 new cars tested at eight kilometres an hour by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety was the 1990 Daihatsu Charade SE and the least damaged was the Honda Civic DX, said institute president Brian O’Neill.“Every bumper we tested this year did a poor job of preventing damage, and some were downright lousy,” O’Neill said in releasing the results of the annual testing last Thursday.The institute, funded by the insurance industry, buys the cars, runs each one into flat barriers, front and back, into a front-angle barrier and then backward into a pole — all at 8 km-h.He said bumper performance has deteriorated since 1982, when the Transportation Department rolled back federal requirements that car bumpers be able to sustain 8 km-h crashes without damage to the vehicle.Manufacturers have weakened bumpers without the federal rules and consumers need to know which cars will require the biggest repair bills.O’Neill said.A 1981 Ford Escort sustained no damage in any of the institute’s four tests, while damage to a 1990 Escort totalled $1,718.Many of the vehicles tested are sold in Canada, said Jim Bain of Transport Canada in Ottawa.But Bain, chief of compliance engineering at vehicle testing, said that because Canadian standards differ from those in the U.S., vehicles with the same name may have different bumper systems.Canadian legislation does not address the ability of bumpers to prevent cosmetic damage in collisions, but only their ability to protect a vehicle’s safety perfor mance.For example, bumpers must protect the functioning of lights and turn signals, and prevent the jamming of doors and the hood release.Canadian safety requirements are more stringent, with bumpers having to prevent safety damage in collisions at 8 km-h compared with only half that speed under the U.S.requirements.fuse are dumped annually.GAIN CONTROL “We must gain control of our garbage in Sherbrooke.” Councillor Serge Cardin said."There is garbage coming from elsewhere, especially with the recent increases in tonnage." Since 1981.the quan tity of garbage buried at the dump has increased by 9.5 per cent yearly."If burial continues at this rate." Emond warns in his report, “sand will no longer be available by 1992".The report, not printed on recycled paper, also includes a pilot-project which would collect paper, glass and other recyclable materials at the curbside of 3000 households in wards 1, 8 and 12 of the city.The idea is to recuperate re cyclable garbage in a special, divided garbage truck.Each household will be given a blue box to sort out the materials.“We are asking for a pilot project to see what 3.000 households think of the recycling program,” said Emond.City manager Roch Létourneau agrees with Emond's idea."I think the most efficient poll we can conduct is a pilot project,” he said.Other councillors expressed misgivings about the efficiency of a garbage recycling program aimed onlv at households.MINIMAL REDUCTION “If, starting tomorrow morning we reduce the amount of garbage buried at the site, this reduction will be minimal,” Jacques Jubin-ville.councillor for ward 12 said.Ward S councillor Bernard Tanguay blames the increased dumping on cheap burial costs."Garbage (burial) is cheap Most of the refuse comes from industry and commerces.We should direct our efforts tow ards these sectors,” Tanguay said.The report provides ample data to back Tanguay s claim Out of 85.000 tonnes buried, 60,000 tonnes of garbage originated in the commercial and industrial sectors.“It is becoming urgent to increase rates," Emond concluded ANNUITIES & RRIF's All retirement options explained.NO cost or obligation.Also RRSP's and LIFE INSURANCE.EDDY ECHENBERG 562-4711 835-5627 Sunetco SUN tIFE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES

anything else would work.One approach is to win dummy’s king of clubs, draw trumps ending in the South hand, and lead the nine of hearts.If West plays low, play low from dummy.East wins the queen and returns a spade.Rise with the ace of spades and take another heart finesse.This line succeeds whenever West holds at least one heart honor — a 75 percent chance.A second approach is to win dummy’s king of clubs, cash A-Q of diamonds and ace of clubs, and then play nine of hearts, intending to play A-K and a heart.When East plays low on the third heart, declarer discards a spade.West will have to win the jack of hearts and either lead into the A-Q of spades or give a sluff and a ruff for the contract.If on the third heart East were to play an honor, declarer would ruff and get back to dummy with a diamond to play another heart.If West held the fourth heart, he could be end-played.If East held four hearts, declarer could still fall back on the spade finesse.In actuality West would probably cover the nine of hearts with the jack.Because of the heart spots in the combined hands, that solves all declarer’s problems.He comes back to hand and leads the eight of hearts, putting in the 10.Although East wins the queen, declarer can return to dummy with a diamond to shed both losing spades on the A-7 of hearts.James Jacoby 's books ‘Jacoby on Bridge’and ‘Jacoby on Card

DR.GOTT: I recently met an older lady at a retirement home whom 1 like and want to be friends with.She is in good health, alert and fun to be with, yet she has a strong odor of urine about her.Is there any way I can approach her without hurting her feelings, or can you suggest a remedy9 DEAR READER: The odor of urine can be caused by kidney disease or by careless health habits.If, because of renal disease, the kidneys stop working efficiently, waste products build up in the system, giving an unpleasant odor to breath and perspiration.Depending on the cause of the kidney disease, treatment — such as dialysis — may be necessary to remove these waste products and return a patient to normal.In elderly people, the odor of urine is more likely caused by carelessness.Many senior citizens become somewhat forgetful and vague; this leads to a disregard for the usual hygienic measures younger folks take for granted.The elderly often dribble or wet themselves inadvertently.Unless they are motivated to change their underclothes, the urine becomes malodorous because of bacterial decomposition.Women, in particular, may have trouble remaining continent; they can be unaware of urinary leakage that causes a social, not a medical, problem.I cannot offer you precise advice about how to tackle this situation; it’s somewhat analogous to the teen-ager who is reluctant to inform her boyfriend that he has body odor.I think you must be diplomatic and, perhaps, question your friend about medicines she is taking.Such a discussion might get around to the subject of the elderly’s ordinary health problems, such as stiffness, forgetfulness and loss of independence.As you and she become better friends, you may find an opportunity to broach the subject of her body odor.Or, you could talk to the retirement-home staff about a suitable approach.If she requires some minimal nursing care, the nurses may be able to alter her personal habits.In the event your friend has a medical reason for her body odor, the staff can alert her doctor.To give you additional information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Kidney Disorders.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 with their name and address to P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: I’m a 37-year-old male with diverticulitis.How common is this at my age, and what are the chances of recurrence and the possibility of it turning into colon cancer?DEAR READER: Diverticulitis, inflamed sacs surrounding the intestine, is unusual in patients under 50.It does occur, but I’d be suspicious that your "diverticulitis’ might be masquerading for other types of bowel infection, such as colitis or regional enteritis, two intestinal diseases that are more common in men under 40.Diverticulitis often follows a pattern of attacks and remissions It is not related to cancer The affliction is usually treated with antibiotics, which cure acute attacks.In my opinion, you should have two tests: colonoscopy and a CT scan of your abdomen During the first test, a gastroenterologist or a surgeon examines your entire colon with a long, flexible, lighted tube.The tube is passed through the rectum, and the specialist looks at the interior of the intestine to identify sites of infection and diverticular sacs, the areas that can become inflamed in diverticulitis.Some doctors prefer a colon X-ray, called a barium enema, to obtain similar information.A CT scan of the abdomen is a special X-ray examination during which the diverticular abscesses, which usually lie outside the lining of the colon, can be seen as abnormal shadows.Your diagnosis may well be correct; however.I’d feel more comfortable knowing that your doctor has conclusive evidence for it.To give you additional information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Diverticular Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1 25 with their name and address to P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: I have two children, ages 5 and 6.The oldest gets a ton of mosquito bites, while the younger one does not Is there a chemical difference, and is there something we can do to prevent this?DEAR READER: Insects seem more attracted to some people than to others.Although the reason for this preference is not known, experts believe certain people may emit odors that actually repel bugs.While these aromas are too faint or too subtle for human recognition, the insects can perceive them.Like many medical hypotheses, this theory has no practical application at present.I suggest you apply insect repellent to both your children during the mosquito season; be sure to follow directions on the product label, because some repellents are applied directly to clothing and not to skin.DEAR DR.GOTT: After being treated with radioactive iodine for hyperthyroidism, which caused me to lose 10 pounds.I subsequently went hypoactive and was put on 0.1 milligrams of Synthroid daily.Test results indicated this to be a proper level.Now I’ve gained 15 pounds, and my doctor doesn’t attribute the weight gain to a hypoactive thyroid Can a lack of the proper amount of hormone set the body’s metabolic rate too low and contribute to my weight gain?United Church news KNOWLTON (KT) — The regular morning

hyperthyroidism (an overactive thyroid gland) can cause weight loss, hypothyroidism (an underactive gland) will not significantly affect weight.One of medicine’s most popular myths is that obesity is related to hypothyroidism This is not true.While an underactive thyroid gland will produce some puffiness and fluid retention, obesity is usually due to too many calories in the diet Therefore, people who are overweight should look to their diets, not to their glands, for a solution.If you lost 10 pounds from hyperthyroidism and gained back 15 pounds after treatment, you are — by my calculations - only five pounds heavier than normal If you want to shed this slight weight gain, you can do so easily by eliminating high-calorie foods — such as sugar, fats and alcohol -from your diet.Continue to follow your doctor's advice about thyroid medicine (Synthroid) and reduce your caloric consumption.Incidentally, the sequence of events you described is not rare.Radioactive iodine, administered in liquid form, is useful in treating many cases of hyperthyroidism It works by destroying the cells that manufacture thyroid hormone The trick is to give just the right amount; too little will be ineffective, too much will lead to thyroid underactivity.There is no strict rule about how much to give; the quantity depends on the “clinical judgment” of the prescribing doctor, who may administer what seems to be the proper amount, only to discover later this was excessive.Fortunately, the use of thyroid supplement will easily and cheaply compensate for this treatment-induced hypothyroidism.With medicine and attention to your diet, you should do fine.To give you additional information, I am sending you free copies of my Health Reports “Calorie-Wise Cooking” and “Weight Control Through Calorie Control.” Other readers who would like copies should send $1.25 for each report to P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369 Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: Your column did not mention where to send in questions.You indicate only an address for health reports.Hence, I am sending you this question to that address Is there another address for questions’ DEAR READER You can send me questions by addressing them in care of this newspaper, which will forward your correspondence to me I might add that I welcome comments, corrections.suggestions and criticisms — as well as questions — from readers.Although I cannot personally answer each reader because of the volume of mail.I make a serious effort to answer every suitable question, and most comments, in the column itself I view this column as a sort of literary house call, and 1 urge readers to write Because I receive many queries.there may be a long interval before a specific question is answered Therefore, please be patient.I’ll get to it.In fact.I need the material readers send Unlike other medical columnists.I neither make up questions nor use a "ghostwriter." Each question 1 use in this column comes from a real reader, like you.Thank you for writing.DEAR DR.GOTT: In a recent column, you wrote that you had been un able to identify asifity, a compound worn around the neck during the great influenza epidemic of 1918-19 Whoever asked the question must be nearly 90 years old As soon as I saw the word, I knew what it was.That particular sequence of vowels and consonants could only be one word, a local corruption for the name of an old-time medical remedy: assafoetida.This remedy was made from the roots of the plant Narthex Assafoetida.It was considered a stimulant, a powerful anti-spasmodic, an expectorant and a laxative.At the turn of the century, children commonly wore little cloth bags of assafoetida pinned on their undershirts or on a string around the neck to ward off colds and lung congestion.I’m amazed that you, a physician, never heard of it.Therefore, I assume your plea of ignorance was really a ploy to fire up all the old-timers to write so you could discover how many senior citizens read your column DEAR READER You attribute to me a cleverness that I disavow; I really didn’t know what asifity was.But I suspected I could count on a few el- derly people, such as you, to set me straight Thank you for writing I m grateful you contributed to my con tinmng medical education DEAR DR GOTT I'm a 61-year-old male and have been smoking for the past 40 years Whenever I quit, my voice gets very hoarse, and my sinus es seem to plug up Can you explain why this happens, and is there anything I can do to prevent it9 DEAR READER: I’m not sure why.after stopping cigarettes, you experience the very symptoms usually caused by tobacco smoke However, this paradoxical reaction does occur, it is probably due to a phenomenon called “rebound ' Your sinuses and upper-respiratory system reacted to the withdrawal ol smoke As an alternative explanation, your upper respiratory tissues may swell and become irritated because of something else in your environment, for example, wood smoke and other air pollutants can cause sinus congestion and hoarseness in people whose respiratory tracts have become sensitized Bring your symptoms to your doctor's attention; perhaps he or she can answer your questions and offer suggestions.In any case.1 urge you to swear off cigarettes; they can only harm you in the long run To give you additional information.1 am sending you a free copy of my Health Report "Living With Chronic Lung Disease.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 with their name and address to PO.Box 91369.Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: I've been reading about a new prescription drug.Cy-totec, that is supposed to help arthritis sufferers' stomach problems.What can you tell me about this medication, its side effects and ability to control arthritis pain?DEAR READER Cytotec is not used for arthritis.It was developed to prevent gastritis (stomach irritation) and peptic ulcers, conditions that commonly accompany the use of various medicines to relieve arthritic pain and inflammation.Anti-arthritis drugs — such as Fel-dene, Motrin, Voltaren, aspirin and others — can reduce the effectiveness of the stomach’s natural, protective coating.Long-term use of these drugs often leads to heartburn, indigestion and injury to the gastric lining When this occurs, patients must discontinue the anti-arthritis medicine By helping preserve the stomach's protective coating.Cytotec reduces the incidence and seventy of these complications Therefore, Cytotec is taken in conjunction with anti-arthritics.It is not a substitute for medicine used to treat ulcers, nor is it appropriate treatment for gastric irritation that is caused by factors other than anti-arthritic therapy The major side effects of Cytotec are abdominal pain and diarrhea — both of which tend to disappear with continued use of the drug Also, Cytotec can cause spontaneous miscarriages in pregnant women; hence, it should not be used by women in the childbearing years unless they use effective contraception.To give you additional information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Consumer Tips on Medicine ” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 with their name and address to P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369 Be sure to mention the title.© I9»0 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN DR.GOTT CSST PETER GOTT, M.D.Garavou says '(kwarou is llie name given by the CSST to its mascot, the little yellow hand whose job is to warn all Quebecers to prevent work related accidents and diseases.PICK-UP A WHOLE NEW ‘STYLE’ By March 16, you will have received your coupon book for this elegant new glass collection.Use your coupons to collect all eight long stemmed Legacy wine glasses.Each of these elegant long stemmed wine glasses is yours for only $ 1.00, with a coupon and a minimum 25-litre purchase of motor fuel at any participating Petro-Canada station.PFT*OU*Aa» Support the commitment.Every time you add a stylish long stemmed Legacy wine glass to your collection, a 10c contribution is made to the Olympic Torch Scholarship Fund.The fund supports the commitment Canada’s young student athletes and coaches have made to their pursuit of excellence.Collect all eight long stemmed wine glasses and help these dedicated young Canadians reach their goals!
