saved a man's life in a fire at Quebec's largest riding stables.The six-year-old horse dragged ranch hand Stéphane St-Onge to safety after he fell inside the burning stables at Ranch Sourire Friday night.Ninety-two horses died in the stables in this town about 50 kilometres northeast of Montreal.St-Onge.21.said he had gone inside to fetch Bizou after fire broke out about 10 p.m.on Friday.“I got the (headi harness on him.but on the way out 1 fell two or three times," St-Onge recalled at the scene Saturday.Gasping for air in the smoke-filled stables.St-Onge reached up and grabbed Bizou's harness and was pulled outside.He was released from hospital after being treated for smoke inhalation.André Kingsley, who lives at the ranch and is its co-owner, said Bizou was one of only eight horses in the stables to survive.Of the 145 horses at the ranch, 45 were outside when the fire started.It took 30 firefighters from three municipalities more than 10 hours to extinguish the blaze.Bizou, who belongs to Kingsley’s wife, Jocelyne Lalonde, was ren ted by Isba Records Inc.in 1988 for singer Mitsou, who rode the horse into a tavern in Montreal to launch what became her hit single Bye bye.mon cowboy."He saved Stéphane's life.” Lalonde said.The fire destroyed the stables and adjoining buildings.Kingsley said the horses panicked when the fire started.“All the doors were open but they were backing up instead of running out.” Killed were: 50 quarter horses, each worth between $1.500 and $2.500 ; 30 riding horses valued at $1,000 to $1.200each; and 12 heavy horses, worth $2,500 each, used for pulling carts and sleighs Kingsley said he had the business appraised last year at between $700.000 and $750.000 for the land, buildings, contents and horses.He was asleep when his dogs started barking Friday night.When he looked outside, Kingsley said, he saw flames shooting out of a stable window.Kingsley called the fire department and partner Yves Nolin, a Montreal police officer.Nine ranch hands, including St-Onge.who bunk in Kingsley 's basement, rushed outside to try to save the horses.“We did everything we could," said Kingsley, who has owned the ranch for 18 years.“It was awful,” Lalonde said, "You could hear the horses “ On Saturday, a steady stream of people walked around the charred remains of the horses — all lined up as they had been in their stalls.Kingsley said the carcasses can't be removed until the provin cial police officers complete their investigation.The cause of the fire is unknown.Her first 100 years.As lively as ever, Mabel

prisoners rioted at a crowded 19th-century prison Sunday, occupying rooftops, smashing windows and setting fires.Police said at least 50 guards and prisoners were injured.Television newscasts carried unconfirmed reports that witnesses had seen up to 12 bodies.A police spokesman said prisoners brought out of Strangeways prison also reported deaths, but that police would not be able to confirm this until they reached the centre of the prison.The Home Office, responsible for prisons and law enforcement, said no hostages were being held, and police said talks with prisoners were under way.There was no clear indication of the cause of the rioting at the medium-security prison, built in the Victorian era.Home Office spokesman Charles Keseru said prison officers regained control of one wing of the jail Sunday evening and found no seriously injured prisoners.The office said 12 injured staff members and 25 prisoners were taken to area hospitals.Rabies: Fishy medicine for foxes PARIS (API — Helicopters will bomb French fields and forests today with frozen fish balls containing a rabies vaccine, in an offensive aimed at Europe’s most dangerous carrier, the red fox.“The fox thinks it’s fish, he eats it, and voila, he’s vaccinated," said Philippe Brie, a technician with the Agriculture Ministry’s Rabies Bureau.“If they already have rabies, it’s too late.But it protects the others.’ ’ Hundreds of scientists and technicians on the ground will complement the helicopters in the campaign to end a disease that still strikes 8,000 French citizens a year.The seven-month spraying operation will cost the equivalent of $3 million Cdn.Authorities say two mild winters in a row may have contributed to the growth of the fox population Attempts to kill foxes with guns, traps and poison gas failed and were criticized by animal rights groups, so the bureau undertook more humanitarian methods in 1986 by having workers sow vaccine packets around infected areas.Experts say vaccination by ground and air has already cut deeply into epidemics among foxes in neighboring Switzerland, West Germany and the Netherlands, leaving France the rabies centre of western Europe.The frozen packets are composed of a rabies-vaccine capsule planted in a ball of fish powder.After they thaw, the packets give off an odor that attracts foxes.Separation.Independence.The three words have become part and parcel of Quebec’s political vocabulary over the years and many people thought they were interchangeable.But recent opinion polls suggest that the terms have different meanings for individual Quebecers.A survey conducted in mid-March by the Quebec polling firm Centre de recherche sur l'opinion publique (CROP) suggested that 56 per cent of Quebecers are in favor of Quebec sovereignty, compared with 37 per cent who are opposed.But when the same poll asked people where they stood on Quebec separation from the rest of Canada.the number in favor dropped to 43 per cent while 53 per cent said they were opposed.CROP vice-president Claude Gauthier said his firm’s questions did not include specific definitions of sovereignty and separation but he believes most Quebecers see a difference between the two.“This is by no means the first time those words have been used and 1 think everybody is used to them by now.“As far as Quebecers are concerned.sovereignty implies some sort of continuing tics with Canada, while separation is stronger and implies virtually a new nation of Quebec.” Another poll, conducted by Montreal pollster Michel Lepage for the Opposition Parti Québécois at about the same time, indicated that 60 per cent of Quebecers support sovereignty.There was no question on separation.CP news analysis By Donald McKenzie NO DISTINCTION PQ official Jean Royer said Quebecers don’t make a distinction between sovereignty and separation and the two terms are interchangeable.The party has been trumpeting the results of the polls as evidence that there is widespread support for its platform of independence for Quebec.To further cloud the issue, the So-recom polling firm also asked Quebecers a question in mid March: did they favor Quebec becoming an ‘ 'independent country ?” Fifty-five per cent replied yes while 45 per cent said no.The polls have generated a flood of interpretations.After the CROP poll was published.the Montreal Gazette carried an editorial under the headline Polls Reflect Anger and Anxiety.“The findings are ambiguous and may be of little help in foretelling the political future." the Gazette wrote.“But who can doubt that they accurately reflect the anger and frustration of many Quebecers in this anxious season of constitutional deadlock.” And despite the PQ’s triumphant I-told-you-so reaction, the CROP poll had bad news for the separatist party.It indicated that backing for the PQ has slipped to 35 per cent from 40 per cent in last September s election — despite the high levels of support for sovereignty.That, wrote La Presse editorialist Alain Dubuc.was “devastating" for the PQ and its leader Jacques Parizeau when compared with the Liberals’ approval rating of 51 per cent.“The nationalist awakening is passing it (the PQ) by.Everybody who has rallied to the idea of sovereignty in the last few months has done so outside the Parti Québécois." By Jim Coyle WINNIPEG (CPI —Sheila Copps and Paul Martin ganged upSunday for a tag-team mugging of chief Li beral leadership rival Jean Chrétien.accusing him of fudging his position on tax reform, free trade and — most importantly — the Meech Lake constitutional accord.But Chrétien, boisterously backed by the majority of about 350 Liberals at a leadership forum, denied his constitutional position was unclear.And he said he wouldn't make any promises he couldn’t keep as prime minister."I want to be very responsible and it’s quite evident so far that the Liberal party is in agreement with me,” Chrétien told reporters after an hour-long bearpit exchange that provided a sizzling end to what had been a relatively flat forum."We don t want to go into government having the image of Mulro-ney, who’s made all promises to everybody and did not deliver,” he said.“I don’t want to be trapped like that." Martin, the Montreal shipping magnate elected to the Commons in 1988.said Chrétien waffled "on virtually every question.“It shows, I think, that the 1970s politics was sort of.you know, fudge." he said.“1 think it’s very clear as you go into the 1990s that people really want cards laid on the table, they want people to tell them what they think." BASHED AWAY Both Martin and Copps bashed away at Chrétien tor refusing to commit himself to abrogating Canada’s free-trade deal with the United States or killing a goods-and-services if it’s in place should the Liberals win the next election.Copps.in an allegation much disputed by Chrétien and his camp, said the veteran former cabinet minister had also substantially softened his opposition to Meech Lake by endorsing the proposed companion resolution of New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna.However, Chrétien repeated over and over to reporters that he simply welcomed an initiative that would get negotiations back on track.He said he couldn’t envision Meech Lake passing by the June 23 ratification deadline without change.In his opening speech.Chrétien blasted Prime Minister Brian Mulroney for insisting Meech Lake be passed as is before other improvements are adopted.Growling out repeated insults, he said Mulroney’s referral of the McKenna resolution of additional constitutional changes to a Commons committee for public hearings was a political game if the accord itself could not be changed."It isclearthat without improvements, without clarifications, the Meech Lake accord will not pass." said Chrétien, who called for an immediate conference of first ministers.LEADING POLLS Chrétien, who polls say enjoys a substantial lead over Martin, Copps and distant challengers John Nunziata and Tom Wappel among committed delegates, was greeted with the loudest ovation by the crowd and those who attacked him were roundly booed.Martin chided party members for booing and claimed it took guts for Meech Lake supporters to pu blically state their stand in a province where the deal is unpopular and has yet to be ratified Faced on arrival Saturday in Winnipeg with a discouraging poll that suggests he has little backing among the general public, Martin dared delegates to take a chance on him."If you think that the vision of the 1970s is still the one that you should have, then vote for it.“But if you believe that Liberals and Canadians need a new vision, one of hope and confidence.then I am asking you to vote for me." • • • WINNIPEG (CP) — Here are some notable quotes from the five Liberal leadership candidates at their latest forum Sunday: “It’s a pretty expensive afternoon for you.Mr.Martin,” Jean Chrétien responding to Paul Martin’s list of promises on aboriginal affairs.“We’ve got a wimp for a prime minister,” Tom Wappel over Brian Mulroney's alleged inaction in de fending Canadian trade interests.“Jean, you have enough trouble giving your own position, don’t try to give mine.” Martin in an exchange with Chrétien over Meech Lake.“I’m not sniping at them.I need all the friends I can get,” John Nunziata after being chided by the moderator for extensive criticism of the news media.“You can bet your booties on one thing, when I say I will kill the GST, I will do it,” Copps challenging Chrétien to promise the same.“The Bank of Canada is headed by our very own Marie Antoinette who says to ail of us.Let them eat cake ,” Wappel on bank president John Crow and his interest-rate policy.“It’s about time that he was fi red,” Wappel on the same indivi dual.Students: Keep beating heads against the clubs By Eric Siblin MONTREAL (CP) — As a burning effigy of Claude Ryan.Quebec’s education minister, collapsed during a student demonstration last week, helmeted police used their billy clubs to snuff out the embers.But after two weeks of strikes, rallies and clashes with police, student leaders in Quebec say their protests won’t be so easily extinguished.At issue is Quebec s plan to boost tuition fees, which are the lowest in the country, after a 22-year freeze.Annual tuition for full-time university students is to rise to $890 from an average of $540 a year in 1990-91.and to $1.240 in 1991-92 — a total increase of about 130 per cent over two years.Although the student protest movement has been raucous, only three universities and 10 colleges, primarily in the Montreal area, have joined the strike—a minority of Quebec’s 14 universities and 40 junior colleges.Bui they’re a determined minority.“There has been strong repression on the part of the police, but it won't intimidate the students or prevent them from continuing their protest.” Josette Cote, a leader of the province's main student association, said in an interview.The peaceful effigy-burning in front of Premier Robert Bouras-sa’s downtown office Thursday contrasted with a clash the previous day.when riot police with clubs broke up a march of 200 students at a downtown Montreal college.Two students were injured and 33 arrested and charged with mischief.The previous week, 182 students were arrested after they stormed the floor of the Montreal Exchange.Fights broke out between the student activists and traders.On Friday, about 2. % 0® rr^ mice to know ÿôMEBOOV’S WATCHING OUT FOR US WP£„, V > FRANK & ERNEST® by Bob Thaves WF on r/YF "FLOW" ChAPT?"

I 10—The RECORD—Monday.April 2.1990 Sports HecorB John Rennie Renegades overpower Galt in provincial final Renegades 6 Pipers I By Bruce Mact'arlane KIRKLAND — The Galt Pipers’ dream of defending their provin- cial-high-school-hoekey- championship title turned into a nightmare Saturday afternoon at Montreal’s Kirkland arena.The Pipers' headache — The John Rennie Renegades fighting machine.The Greater Montreal Athletic Association conference winners claimed their sweet revenge by trouncing the Pipers 6-1.Losing to the Pipers in the provincials last year, the Pointe Claire high school was too much to handle this time around.Renegades' David Perodcau ge- nerated the offence scoring a hat trick.After a 2-0.first period lead, Pe-rodeau scored his first-of-three by gliding down the left-side of the ice and deking out Pipers’ goaltender Odell Lassenba to give John Rennie a three-goal lead at the 2:21 mark of the second.PENALTY SHOT At the 6:29 of the second period, Pipers’ captain Jeff Grapes was awarded a penalty shot for being tripped into the Renegades’ net on a breakaway.With a deep breath.Grapes skated down from centre-ice towards Renegade goalie Evan Merson and let loose with a wrist shot which went wide of the net.Grapes took out his frustration by whacking his stick on the boards, tossing it behind his team’s bench.Renegade left winger Peter Ma-lizia captalized on a Lassenba error.Goalie Lassenba had skated out of his crease, only to be caught outside as he was forced to watch Malizia gently shoot the puck into the empty net.Tim Call registered the only Piper goal at the 8:40 mark by deflecting a Steve Keeble pass from the Renegade blue line.Perodeau finished off the second period’s scoring by registering his second of the game at the at 11:14 mark.Perodeau completed his hat trick in the third period.The Pipers ran out of gas midway through the game as the Renegades continued to penetrate the Pipers’ zone.Owen Organ left the game early after being slashed across the wrist forcing him to watch the remainder of the game from behind the bench.Steve Keeble was playing on an injured ankle which he sustained during the semi-final game against Collège Brébeuf.BETTER SQUAD “I think they were a better team,” said Pipers’ head coach Brian Heath.“I’m not saying we couldn’t have won." Heath said his game plan backfired early.“We were hoping to come right out in the first seven or eight minutes and really make it a game," he said.“But they (John Renniet scored instead and it went their way,” he said.Heath says John Rennie had the manpower to take the game away."They (John Rennie) have a lot more depth than us.” he said."They had more people and quality than I could put out.but we are proud with our kids, they came a long way." Odell Lassenba received the most-valuable goaltender award for the tournament.Renegades' Joey Devila was the weekends’ most-valuable player.Galt 2 Brébeuf 1 The sharp style of Odell Lassenba was the key to victory in the 2-1 semi-final over Collège Brebeuf Saturday morning.Tim Call and Mike Graham were the Galt scores with Call netting his goal with 10 seconds to go in the opening period.Graham scored his goal late in the second.Louis Racine spoiled Lassenba’s shutout bid in the third period.Galt 3 Billings 2 In their first game of the provincial championships, the Pipers received the scare of their lives Friday night.the Pipers had to play catch-up hockey during the last couple of minutes of the game.Mike Graham evened the score a two with 1:52 remaining to play, while Jeff Grapes

the John Rennie Renegades in the provincial high school hockey championship semi-final Saturday afternoon.Renegades' Joey Devila scored a hat trick and teammate David Perodeau added two goals to launch the Renegades into the provincial championship.Vikings’ goaltender Todd Teolis had his work cut out for him right from the opening minute.Renegades' Devila was hauled down to the ice on a breakaway and was awarded a penalty shot 50 seconds into the game Devila bolted down and tried to slip the puck under the legs of Teo- lis.The Vikng goalie dropped to the ice kicking out his right leg blocking the shot.But it was only 80 seconds after the penalty shot that Teolis fell victim to Devila’s first of three.Minutes after Devila scored, Perodeau added his first of two to give the Renegades a 2-0 lead after only five minutes of play.Vikings’ Andrew McCully narrowed the lead to one when he blasted a shot past Renegade goalie Evan Merson.In the second period, the Renegades ran up their lead, adding three goals to give the West Island high school a 5-1 edge.Vikings’ Bruce Judge shrunk the lead to 5-3 when he scored two goals during the latter part of the period.John Meunier, Devila and Perodeau were the third period scorers for John Rennie.According to Vikings’ head coach Bob Kay, his team knew they were in for a tough game."Coming into the game we knew Rennie was good.” he said.“They’ve got a lot of firepower, and they won the GMAA (Greater Montreal Athletic Association).’’ “There is a reason why they scored over a 120 goals in 24 games,” he said.“You knew you needed a big game out of Todd (Teolis),’’ he said.“I don’t think Todd’s play is indicative of the score.” After ten seasons behind the Viking bench, Kay has decided to take a rest from hockey.“There is a lot of work to do as athletic director,” he said.“You have to get over and see the basketball, volleyball, wrestling practices and check out the equipment and see what our programs need.” “This a good group of kids to leave on,” he said.With Kay leavingthe hockey program.he hopes to hand it over to his assistant Kim Glover.Thedecisionconcerning who will be head coach of the Vikings will be known in

VASTERAS.Sweden (CP) — Alison Goring’s draw weight deserted her Sunday night, and with it went an opportunity to sit alone atop the women’s standings at the world curling championships.On the men’s side, Ed Werenich narrowly escaped the same fate when he took an extra end to eke out a 7-6 victory over Tommy Stjerne of Denmark.The Danish veteran had been gunning for his second straight win over a Canadian team at the world championships.Stjerne posted a 7-4 win over Pat Ryan in a preliminary draw at Milwaukee last year, although Ryan went on to win the title that Werenich now is defending at Roc-klunda Arena Werenich’s 3-0 record gave him a share of the lead in the men’s 10-team section with host Sweden af ter Swedish skip Lars-Ake Nordstrom edged Olympic champion Ei-gel Ramsfjell of Norway 8-7 in another extra-end game.Goring, meanwhile, fell to 2-1 when she jammed her attempt to spill the Danish shot rock with her final stone in the first extra end.That gave Helena Blach her second straight steal and an 8-7 victory.“I just lost my weight tonight, that’s why I didn’t try to draw,” said the Toronto skip, who is defending the world title won last year by Heather Houston of Thunder Bay, Ont.“It was just one of those nights.” UPSETS BEST Others in the women’s draw — the sixth of the week-long competition — would agree.Norway’s Dor-di Nordby cruised to a 10-3 victory over previously unbeaten Helena Svensson of Sweden, and Brigitte Lamy and her French rink beat Carolyn Hutchison of Scotland 7-6, also in an extra end.Japan, skipped by Minori Kudo, won its first-ever game at the worlds.6-3 over Bev Behnke of the United States, while Almut Hege-Scholl of West Germany downed Brigitte Leutenegger of Switzerland, 7-3.The string of upsets left six teams tied at 2-1 on the women’s side — Canada, West Germany, Scotland, Denmark, Sweden and Norway.Japan, Switzerland and France were at 1-2 and the United States remained winless after three games.In games earlier Sunday, Canada beat Japan 8-4.Germany downed Norway 7-2, Sweden rolled over France 7-1.Switzerland took the United States 8-3 and Scotland stole two in the 10th for an 8-5 win over Denmark.GETS THE FEELING Werenich, who complained of not feeling pumped up during an easy, 7-1 victory over West Germany in his opening draw Saturday, had no such complaints Sunday after squeaking by Denmark and edging out Italy 7-4 in a game that was closer than it looked on the scoreboard.The game against Denmark was the first of three that third John Kawaja will miss to make a brief business trip to West Germany.He is being replaced by Neil Harrison, who played lead for Werenich at the 1983 world championship.Werenich said he was confident Harrison could do the job but conceded the extra pressure “maybe

pain I’ll just bet that he will never Forget my birthday again.J.is a lady of grand finesse But she couldn't let the matter rest She told a little birdie and the birdie told me And now it is in the paper for the whole world to see.N.don’t you ever forget her birthday again Because you might have to live out in the rain For a birthday gift, bingo cards and hot dog will never do So next year you had better see what you can do.To live in a dog house is not a nice place But J.might decorate it with fine lace Or she might hide you under a pile of logs And you could spend the rest of your days eating hot dogs.A dibble, a dobbel, buy her a baubell If a baubell won’t do, buy her a ski-doo If she breaks it on a log Then you can buy her a hot dog.But for heaven sakes, man, not on her birthday.Adios Amigos — God Bless HELEN BROWN BURTON (author) Ayer’s Cliff, Que.MEMORY We are all born with a memory of some sort, most of us with a good one, If you are blessed with one of the better ones, count yourself lucky, or life can be a crude one.We think of memory mostly of what it makes us able to do, Like go to school, get good grades and later probably get a good job too.But imagine what a mess our lives would be if we could not remember some simple tasks.How would anyone ever get through school if he could not lace his shoes when asked?Picture a home in which there were three girls, two boys and a mother.But in getting the kids dressed for church the mother mixed the clothes so you could not tell one from the other.Perhaps there is a girl who is good-looking and looks in a shoe store for a job.If she can’t remember which shoe goes on which foot that will be a poor place to rob.But all joking aside — you can’t do many of the usual things without a memory to use.If you drive a car and can’t remember where you left it, it may be big — but it is one of the first things you will lose.Believe it or not you need a memory just to get back home after you leave.Don’t think so?.Try it some day when no one’s at home without a spare key up your sleeve.Even colours are something you have to remember though perhaps you don’t know all their names, You will be reminded when you start out somewhere with two socks that are not the same.In a big way a memory is like good water, you don’t think about it as long as it is there.But once it starts to leave you, that’s when you feel it, like hunger when the cupboard is bare.HOWARD GIBSON Lennoxville, Que.A FRIENDLY TOWN Lac Brome is a friendly town As everyone should know.Whether it’s swimming in the summer time Or skiing on the snow.People come from miles around Even from Montreal And when they do get here They're friendly greeted, one and all.We have a winter Christmas And then one in July You may want to first browse around They don’t mind if you don’t buy.CJAD comes down here to play In a soft ball tournament, Their competition is the Lions' Club And the Fire Department.Oh they have a lot of fun In playing and passing gifts about And the batter gets a little disappointed When an umpire calls him out.I’ve lived here a few years now In this friendly little town So feel free to come and visit us In this place called "Knowlton" DONALD GAUVIN Knowlton, Que.SHAME AND BLAME It’s a terrible thing When someone has to take the blame — It’s not that people fought When someone comes down their way.They know when they're not wanted — They try to sit and talk just the same.You tell them to go — Or you’ll phone the relatives! Then you see the people don’t talk any more All they have to do is stay at home.When they didn’t come when the husband was alive Why should they come when the wife is aonc?There are other things to do than talk ‘trash’’ — Let them stay home Take care of what they have Instead of bothering others! It puts blame on them — And causes them shame.BARBARA McCLURE Mansonville.Que.Monday, April 2, 1990 WEST NORTH 4 2 »0 ?(J 8 V 1U 9 7 5 ?A94 ?K 9 6 2 EAST ?A J974 ?lü 6 3 2 V4 ?Q 7 3 ?K 10 6 2 ?J 10 8

has to know the right plays.In addition, he frequently needs the defenders’ help to succeed.Gary Robinson of Lafayette, California, mixed these two ingredients nicely to make four hearts in today’s deal.It was normal to open with four hearts in third seat after two passes.If the high cards were equally split among the other three hands, North should hold enough to make the play for game reasonable, and bidding it immediately shut the opponents out.West led the jack of clubs, which declarer ducked in dummy.A club was continued, and East played the queen, ruffed.Declarer played ace of hearts, then a low spade.West took the ace immediately, then switched to a low diamond.Declarer played low from dummy; East won the king and played back a spade to Gary Robinson’s king.Gary now played a trump to dummy and then led the king of clubs.East played the ace, ruffed by declarer.Notice that the job of guarding the club suit had now been transferred to West, who held the club 10 and who also held the diamond queen.The trumps were now led out, one by one.At the finish poor West had to either give up the 10 of clubs, making dummy’s nine a winner, or unguard the diamond queen, in which case declarer would pitch the club from dummy and make the last two tricks with the ace and jack of diamonds.Although it is true that the defenders could have avoided the final losing position, give credit to Gary Robinson for developing the winning line of play- James Jacoby 's books "Jacoby on Bridge" and “Jacoby on Card Games”(written with his father, the late Oswald Jacoby) are now available at bookstores Both are published by Pharos Books.© 1990, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE JAMES JACOBY Monday, April 2,1990 ^Your ‘Birthday April 2,1990 Joint ventures could work out quite well for
