But as Ciaccia was leaving the news conference several irate citizens told him it was time to resolve the whole festering problem.THROWN OUT' One woman with four children screamed at the minister that she was evicted from her home by the Mohawk Warriors manning the nearby barricades.“1 was thrown out of my home by the Warriors army." she yelled.“We don't have the right to return to our home.Do you find that humane?We’ve lived in three different homes in the last week and a half.” "We’re being held hostage — by the Indians, by the police, by the government,” one man told Ciaccia.Eric Gabriel, who works in the town's radio station said: "It’s about time.It s not humane to stop people from bringing groceries.There’s a lot of families with babies." "I have no problems passing police barricades,” he said.“Police said they'd let food through but they kept changing their minds, according to the policeman in volved." SELECTIVE Gabriel also said police were selectively preventing certain people from leaving the area to go to work “Some of the people who work, some of them are tree surgeons and a lot are welders, some are allowed to pass the barricades and go to work, but there are some people they aren’t letting out The police have certain names they won’t let out ." The Quebec Human Rights Commission blasted police this week calling their methods harassment and discrimination because Indians were most often singled out for over-zealous searches.Police justified the tactics saying they had to ensure no arms slipped through their cordon to the already heavily armed Mohawks behind the barricades.BROUGHT SUPPLIES The Red Cross made several trips into the area bringing milk, bread, bananas, oranges laundry soap, sanitary napkins, and toilet paper.But the Mohawks complained that wasn’t enough.Last Sunday, several busloads of people from Montreal took food to Oka but were not allowed to deliver it.It has since been kept by Cistercian monks near the town, who were also prevented from turning it over to the residents.The free passage of food was one of the conditions laid down by the Mohawks to get negotiations going again Another condition was unimpeded access to Mohawk positions by their advisers and lawyers.Ciac-eia has not agreed to that condition.See QUEBEC, Page 2.Sher-Mont first baseman \Icxandre Gagne tries to pionship action I hursday afternoon For the garni dive past Mascouche catcher Jocelyn Gagnon during story turn to page IS Senior Provincial Utile l eague Haschall Cham- B aby : Windsor victim’s kin can’t stand the pain WINDSOR, Ont.(CP) — Relatives of Raymond Soulliere fled in tears minutes after a memorial service began Thursday for the baby whose body was found in the Detroit River a week ago."They couldn’t take it,” said Leonard Bryant, an uncle of the baby’s mother, 15-year-old Sandra Soulliere.The service at historic St.John's Anglican Church was held within hours of a televised accusation the baby was killed by his teenaged father, 19-year-old Raymond La-Roche.The charge was levelled by La-Roche’s father.The teen denied it.Police said the elder La Roche’s statement did not alter their investigation.Neither of the baby’s parents attended the service arranged by the pastor at St.John’s to calm the tough west-end neighborhood which has seen residents twice besiege the couple’s apartment building.Rev.Christopher Pratt urged the 55 people, mainly women, at the half-hour service “not to point a misguided finger at anyone and not to sit as judges of anyone.’’ WEPT WITH MINISTER Soulliere’s mother, Susan, and a handful of other family members wept as they huddled with Pratt on the church’s steps before the service.They fled at the first prayer, unable to control their emotions.Bryant, clutching a framed picture of blond-haired, blue-eyed Raymond, said the family had come to the church with hopes the service would fill a void left after Wednesday’s brief private funeral "It was just a simple little service — no coffin," Bryant said of the funeral at a Catholic church.The priest said he believed the baby’s body had been cremated before Wednesday's service.Within hours of the funeral, Michel La Roche was on Detroit TV alleging his son “confided in me" that he accidentally killed the baby and had his body dumped in the Detroit River, "1 did not say that to him," responded Raymond LaKoche.The unemployed teenager, who has given dozens of interviews since reporting his baby missing July 17.called his father a burnout.He's trying to be a hero." Asked why his father would implicate him.LaRoche responded: “Revenge, my boy, revenge " He refused to elaborate His lawyer, Michael O'Hearn, refused any comment on the latest developments in the strange case that has gained widespread puhli city on both sides of the border INTERVIEWED BY POLICE Windsor police confirmed they had previously taken a statement from Michel LaRoche but said the televised accusation had no bea ring on the investigation Shortly after the broadcast, more than H» people gathered outside the young couple's apartment in a scene reminiscent of one a week ago when scores of neighbors, some shouting "baby killer." converged on the rundown three storey building.The congregation leaving the memorial service gave various ex planations of what drew them to the Anglican church Jody Lacey, who brought an 11-month-old cousin along, expressed disappointment the baby's parents weren’t there “I just wanted to see what they looked like." she said Said Carol McLeod "It really hit me when that little baby died Little Raymond Soulliere w us re ported missing after his parents said they left him alone in their apartment for 30 minutes while they did luiimlry The baby 's (tody was discovered two days later m the river Results of an autopsy have not !>een released Sandra Soulliere was released Tuesday from a hospital where she had spent three days in a psychiatric ward under a court order oh tamed by her mother LaRoche has said Soulliere is pregnant with their second child Why does it happen?Teen parents need help TORONTO (CP) — His mother was just 15.but that did not make Raymond Soulliere unusual The seven-month-old Windsor.Ont., boy, whose body was found last week in the Detroit River, was one of thousands of Canadian children being raised by people who, for legal purposes, are still chil dren.They can’t vote, drink or even rent an apartment without having a co-signer for the lease.In 1988,21,304 females age 19 and under gave birth in Canada.Nearly 1,000 were 15 or under, Statistics Canada says.In the past most pregnant, many single teenagers would be banished — generally lo a maternity home where they had their babies in secrecy and gave them up for adoption.But over the last 20 years, many teenagers have refused to accept this fate.Often poor and uneducated, they are insistingon their right to raise their children Experts in child care worry about the ability of many teenage parents to put the needs of their children ahead of their own The children are seen as especially vulnerable to abuse, neglect and slow development, what childcare workers call "failure lo thrive.” NEED PARENTS "The nub of the problem in my view is that they (the teenage pa- rents) still need parenting themselves,” said Dr.Kenneth Finkel, a professor of pediatrics with the McMaster University faculty of health sciences in Hamilton, Ont "How do we provide that?" With extensive support from families and social services, children can be raised in a safe and healthy home, child-care professionals say.Raymond Soulliere and his family were known to the Essex County Roman Catholic Children's Aid So ciety But the society will not say-how closely it worked with the family.Raymond's mother and 19-ycar-old father have said the boy disap (wared when they left him unatten dod while they were doing laundry Support Is generally available to (ill the basic needs of teenage pa rents, child care professionals and social work academics said Howe ver, they said, in some places those services — welfare, health cure, housing — are far from ideal Things the experts say teen pa rents net-d but do not always get include basic information on child health care, financial manage men!

at Oka and on other Canadian reserves is becoming tense Haven’t authorities noticed the hot potato is not cooling off from all the tossing?More and more Canadians are becoming aware of the need to settle native rights issues and land claims fairly and finally.Putting off such essential decisions as Canadian politi cians have done since Canada became Canada has led to the monumental mess we are in today.Since Day 1 we have rounded up Canada's native people on reserves.We have broken promise after promise.We have left them out of our constitution.We have lied to them and deceived them And

preliminary finding will not keep Dennis Taylor out of prison.Taylor sexually attacked four children in a west-end Ottawa neighborhood in 1»«K He had been convicted of assaulting children before.After he pleaded guilty, the Crown applied to have him declared a dangerous offender someone who is dangerous and likely to commit his crime again.Taylor, 'll, who has two brothers who are also pedophiles, was declared a dangerous sexual offender on Wednesday in Ottawa by provincial court Judge James Fontana Initial findings of two studies examining genetic links to pedophilia were too premature for Fontana to consider during the hearing If pedophilia is found to be a genetic disorder, then pedophiles such as Taylor would be considered to have a medical problem Courts would then have little option but to sentence them to psychiatric hospitals, says Dr.John Bradford, a Royal Ottawa Hospital specialist in sexual disorders The judge appeared frustrated during the dangerous offender application, when defence lawyer Ken Hail suggested Taylor be confined to hospital.Although he has the option of imposing an indefinite jail term, Fontana said he will sentence the bisexual pedophile next month to a specific jail term Taylor.31, Is said to have the mental capacity of a 12-year old Fontana said his hands are tied by the legal system It's Up to politicians to legislate people like Taylor into psychiatric hospitals, he suggested.“I think it's a great decision,'' defence lawyer Ken Hall said outside court "It protects the public first and allows Dennis to be treated " Prison officials will have to make sure Taylor re ceives treatment while he's in custody so he will be stable when released, Hall said FAMILIES STt'DIFD Taylor's family is one of nine that are part of a study by two psychiatrists, Alain Labelle and Dominique Bourget, ImiIIi from nearby Hull, ljue The study found Dennis Taylor is a gentler version of his older brother Dwayne, who raped, tortured and kil led a 27 month old Kingston girl in 1981 Dwayne killed April Marie Morrison by sitting on her head for 20 minutes because she wouldn t stop crying, court was told When he was arrested, his response to police, accor ding to court documents, was "This is no big deal, I've done it before " Dwayne had just finished serving a sentence for the rape of a girl from Peterborough, Ont In sentencing him to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years.Justice John O'Driscoll said Dw ayne lives "in a twilight /one a time bomb waiting to explode " Dennis also has a younger brother indecently assaul-ted a young boy in 1975, according to the prosecutor’s report Ottawa police Sgt Paul Turner says the younger brother now lives in Western Canada and hasn’t run afoul of the law again Dennis has a 14-year history of sexual assaults on children He has served two four year terms for as saults on children in his home town of Port Hope, Ont An Ottawa police profile of the case says the Taylor trio suffered through childhood with an abusive, alcoholic father Bourget says the Hull study of pedophilia has found a disproportionately high number of sex deviants in each family compared with the general population She hadn't worked out a figure because she believed her sampling was too small Before a conclusion can bo reached, Bourget says her group will conduct studies on twins and adopted people to see whether twins separated at birth or soon after display the same sexual deviance if brought up by adop live parents A similar study at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Haiti more.Md., was more conclusive Psychiatrists there said pedophiles were found in 18 5 per cent of families which already had one jiednphile Bloc: A tool for PM against Liberals?By John Ward OTTAWA — Lucien Bouchard's decision lo form a new political group in the Commons, the Bloc Québécois, echoes the actions of another group of disgruntled Quebec MPs almost 50 years ago Bouchard, the former Tory environment minister who left cabinet and his party in May over the han dlmg of the Meech Lake constitutio nal deal, has brought together five other former Quebec Tories and one former Liberal info the group.In 1942, a handful of renegade Que-bec Liberals left their party to form the Bloc Populaire to protest the touchy question of conscription Their move came after a national plebiscite in which a majority of voters in every province except Quebec agreed to release the Liberal government of Mackenzie King from its promise not to impose conscription.The conscription issue was a divisive one during the war Many Quebecers saw the referendum as a bit of political trickery to impose the draft on Quebec in spite of promises not lo do so The Bloc Populaire w as led by MP Maxime Raymond and was inspired by Henri Bourassa, founder of the newspaper Le Devoir and long the voice of an early form of Quebec na tionalism That early nationalism loo ked to Canada as a bilingual and bi cultural country NOT SEPARATIST Hut the Bloc was not separatist They left that more radical position to their provincial wing By 1944, the Bloc had five M Ps in the Commons They espoused neutrality, provincial autonomy.English French equality and family-based social reforms, The provincial wing elected four members to the Quebec national assembly in the 1944 election, getting about 15 per cent of the vote against the Union Nationale of then-premier Maurice Duplessis.Michael Rehiels.a political scien- tist at the University of Ottawa, says Bouchard's Bloc Québécois seems to have more in common with the provincial wing of the old Bloc Populaire "You've gol them preaching the gospel of Quebec separatism in Ottawa," he said The difference between the federal and provincial wings of the Bloc Populaire led to bitter fights.Behiels said "There was a big fight, an internal struggle, which by and large did a great deal of damage to the movement." The federal wing elected only two MPs in 1945and drifted into obscurity.FEDERAL WING DIED “For all intents and purjioses, as soon as the federal election was over, the federal wing was dead,” Behiels said.In 1948.when Duplessis tried to coopt the provincial group into his Union Nationale, its leading members deliberately killed (he party rather than fall prey to the premier.Liberal Leader Jean Chrétien isn’t impressed by Bouchard’s group He said there were suggestions two months ago.that as many as a dozen or more Quebec Tories were ready to bolt.“We had the impression sometime in May and June that there was to be a great number of Tory MPs who were going to do that.” he said."Today there's six "They have not had the success they pretended they would have." But Behiels suggests the appea ranee of Bouchard’s movement may, in fact, prove a boon to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.What Bouchard is trying to do now is ensure that the Chretien, profederalist forces in the Liberal party don’t return to power in Quebec,” he said.“Mulroney is very dependent on the nationalists If he can get a third force in there with Bouchard fighting the Chretien force that will, he feels, help him.” Letters Thank you Dear Sir: We would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the articles written by Miss Sylvie D Nelson with re gard to the Watch Tower District Convention held at the “Palais des Sports" in Sherbrooke.We greatly appreciate your excellent work which permitted us to inform the public of the events concerning our assembly.Please accept this sincere expression ol our appreciation.New Service W atch Tower Convention FRANÇOIS GRENON Sherbrooke Another encroachment Dear Editor, The Massawippi Trail is a very good idea for people.But if would still represent yet another encroachment on wildlife habitat.Such trails should be built along existing major roadways.Not as pleasant but perhaps more responsible The nature voyeuristas can always catch the nature shows on TV or even rent some Disneyland movies.Yours Truly; JASON KKPAN George ville On this day in history IHiiti The laying of a telegraph cable between North America and Europe w as completed.1904 Sir Winston Churchill, longest serving British MP in history, made his last appearance in the Commons.FEDERAL ÔTUDV #2632064 ^Mgmm & « v\V ' 'NsNsVX' 's\NN\\\xvNWV\\\\\\vv< VWNWNNWNV ' .¦¦ - — Junkets or not?Parliamentarians take summer trips By (ierry Arnold OTTAWA (CPi Roll out those lazy.hazy, crazy days of summer.And at the same time roll out the international airline tickets for Canada's high flying parliamentarians.Where are members of Parliament and senators going on government bu siness this summer?Most just head back to their ridings to do the usual constituency work meeting voters and attending local functions But for others, places like Tunisia.France, England, West Germany, Denmark, Belize, Senegal and the Soviet Union are among the destinations.Deputy Commons Speaker Andrée Champagne, for example, has been to Paris and Tunis Liberal House lea der Jean Robert (iauthier has visited London And MP Derek Blackburn of the NDP went to Frankfurt and Moscow.VALID TRIPS?Are these trips really necessary at a time when the national debt continues to spiral upwards and taxpayers are being asked to expect less from government?The parliamentarians defend the travel, arguing it's an important part of Canada's role on the world stage.Others aren't so sure “This was not a junket," says Don Boudria, a Liberal MP who recently returned from Paris where he attended u meeting of francophone politicians David Somerville, president of the National Citizens' Coalition, says ma ny of the trips are legitimate gover-nment business, but others may be questionable He hopes MPs think hard before boarding the planes and they remem- ber who pays their bills."The tax burden on Canadians is now higher than it has ever been in the history of Confederation.” he says.‘ People are feeling pretty worn down."In that kind of climate, (MPs) should exercise leadership and make darn sure that (he trips that they are taking they really need to take." MANY REASONS There are various ways for MPs and senators to get a crack at interna tional travel while Parliament is not sitting for the summer, even though only a small minority of politicians actually get in on the trips.They can do it as members of parliamentary associations or they can travel as members of special international committees.Then again, they can head abroad as a représenta live of the Canadian government.Take the International Association of French-Speaking Parliamentarians So far this summer, it has had two major meetings — there are two more to come — and Canadians were prominent.Early in July, former Tory senator Martial Asselin and Champagne led a Canadian delegation to Paris for a meeting of the group’s iRilitieal and general administration committee.Asselin was still a senator when he made the trip, but has since resigned both as a senator and as ihe association’s international chairman be cause of his recent appointment as lieutenant governor of Quebec As international chairman, his expenses were paid by the association, not by taxpayers.Champagne is chairman of the Ca nadian wing of Ihe international group.PARIS AND TUNIS They were joined in Paris by Boudria and Conservative Senator Paul David, plus two officials.From there Asselin.Champagne and the two officials jetted off to Tunis, the capital of the North African country of Tunisia, where the associa-tion held its executive committee meeting.Boudria says important international agendas are often set at these sessions.It's the committee that puts in place all those things that were agreed upon at the francophone summit,' he said, referring to the gathering of leaders from 41 francophone countries, including Canada, every two years.For example, Boudria said there was discussion

footman By Tom McDougall HALO AX tO’i — The authors of Courting Disaster, a controversial book about the Queen's household staff, say the British people have the right to know atiout incompetence.misbehavior and dangerously lax security around Buckingham Palace Malcolm J Barker and Tim So bey of Halifax were interviewed from London by telephone Thursday where they will appear in court today to fight an attempt by the Queen’s lawyers to obtain an injunction banning the book in Bri tain.A similar injunction issued Wednesday bans British distribution of a French article in Pahs Match magazine which contains excerpts from the book.“I thought long and hard at wrri-ting the book, but I was so appalled at the abuse and lack of respect on behalf of members of the staff that 1 think people should know about it." said Barker “1 think that perhaps maybe, as a result, something good will come out of it.and that maybe there will be some kind of inquiry.or security procedures may be tightened up.” Courting Disaster is a series of vignettes recalled by Barker du ring his years as a clerk-storesman on the Queen’s household staff in the early BWOs.HELPS BARKER Sobey.a grandson of Nova Scotia grocery tycoon Frank Sobey.was not involved with the household staff but helped co-author the book with Barker, an old school friend In scathing, sometimes bitchy prose, it portrays widespread drunkenness, rowdiness, sexual misbehavior and laziness among the household staff.Most of the Kovals come through it relatively unscathed, except for Prince An drew’s bachelor shenanigans and Princess Margaret's alleged dnn king habits It also portrays serious breaches of security in which intruders ente red the palace grounds while guards slept or didn’t pay attention.The most famous intrusion is well known That is when a di>.fraught man broke into the Queen s bedroom Window alarms failed and guards supposedly sta tioned at the Queen's door were in another room The Queen calmed the man until help arrived The book describes how two Sw *• dish girls camped overnight on the palace lawn without being noticed until morning.And a punk rocker walked into the palace hallw ay and started smashing chairs before the guards noticed.mooned The Queen is not well guarded, and the lack of security is a scan dal.Barker said m the interview "It's appalling, it's absolutely appalling And, really.1 seenoevi deuce to suggest that it has inipro ved since I left In fact, it s virtual ly non existent Even if security were tightened against outsiders, there would In- a problem

Russell put a starker face on the problem.“The perception from the politi cian is he thinks ‘That’s it.I've got him in my pocket ." he said The price is a hefty one, said Russell, suggesting "the reporter loses credibility and the media loses credibility We all get tarred with the same brush DRAW OW N LINES Individual journalists define their own professional lines, while some news organizations, such as the CBC and some daily newspa pens, for example, have written standards of behavior Others, such the Ottawa Cituen.are working with staff to put to get her a policy on legal issues, conduct on and off the job, news gathering, news presentation and corporate ethics Managing editor Scott Honey man said the newsroom in general, and especially the younger journa lists, needed clear guidelines McLeod said senior editors at the Free Press have been lobbying to have time built into the week tor discussion of issues such as ethics That probably will happen, he said Any move toward stricter ethi cal codes will likely come from newsrooms, because unlike most trades and professions, journalism has no governing or regulatory body "We’re one of the few?businesses around where there is no agreed upon standard of achievement, education or behavior." said Cob den."To be a beautician you need a diploma But anybody can be a journalist Legislative press gallery asso dations in some provinces are re viewing where they stand Most press galleries simply have the authority to grant or dein mem bership and access to legislatures Policing the activities of the mem hers is a minefield "You're skating on pretty thin ice when you start dealing w ith the ethical conduct of your peers said Gerald Weseen.a Broadcast New s re|Mtrter in Fredericton Who is president o( the gallery m New Brunswick He said that what happened in Victoria has made ethics a hot i>-sue but the association in Frederic ton has little real authority But that may be reviewed with a view toward putting some teeth in the group s constitution .Similar reviews are under way m British Columbia and m Ottawa, home of the biggest press gallery However it's done, some cleat t> spelled out ethics are needed foi journalists, said Cobden We have to account to the pu blic for what we do because we are in a very powerful and pmileged position," he said Environment 1_____ftei fttecora Eastern cougar: Big cat finally down on tape?By Chris Morris FREDERICTON (CP) — Dick Tracy and Die Hard 2 may be the pick of the flicks this summer in urban Canada, but a once-in-a-lifetime home video from rural New Brunswick is getting top billing with wildlife biologists.The video shows what appears to be an eastern cougar — the will-o’-the-wisp of the Maritime woods that many believe extinct.Some biologists have spent their lives trying to establish its existence, tracking down the hundreds of sightings that have been reported over the years in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.But despite all the sightings, no one has ever come up with the hard evidence that would demonstrate beyond a shadow of a doubt that the handsome, wraith-like cat still lives in the region.A family in Rusagonis, a rural community near Fredericton, has finally got proof on tape — or so it seems.The family shot several minutes of video footage of a large, tawny-colored eat skulking around their property in May.They excitedly handed the tape over to provincial wildlife officials who cautiously pronounced it interesting and passed it on to animal and videotape experts in Ottawa for verification.That’s where it still sits, appa- rently held up by vacations and the general slowdown in activity that hits the nation’s capital every summer.“From the little we know about cougar, anything over .r>0 to 60 pounds would be considered an eastern cougar," says Gary Moore, a biologist with the provin cial Natural Resources Depai tment.“We want to be able to say we’re sure that’s what it is." The family wants to remain anonymous until the footage is veri tied, hut they are confident the cat is a cougar.They say the distinctive gait of the animal, its large soft padded feet and long tail all show up clearly on the tape They also say it's the second time in a year a cougar has been spotted on their property.“1 watched it for 20 minutes, saw all of its features clearly there’s noquestion it's a cougar," saysone family member "At one point, it looked directly at me — gave me the chilis." The videotape represents the third reported sighting of a cougar in the Rusagonis area in the last couple of years.In the past decade, there have been at least 3nrriONUEK: BRIAN BARRIE SPONSOR’S A sURANCB GREGOIRE Et ASSOCIES BIJOUTERIE W POIRIER CASCADES INC CORDONNERIE IUSSIER TIM MASON EQUIPMENT GABRIEL COUTURE ET HIS MOULEES VAUEE FEEDS INC BAR DF BANQUE McCORMICIC CANADA JACKIE ARMSTRONG MAR, H.ERIC ARMSTRONG MARIO COMPUTER CONSULTANTS < ARl DFNISON david taylor fquipment RICHMOND HARDWARE RUTH & GORDON DENISON margauritf dfnison \ARION 8, BRUCE MASTINt ?’ PATRICIA ANDERSON MUSIC HALL RICHMOND MYRTLE GALLUP ANNIE A COLIN ANDREWS MtUBIFS LOURAMA INC RICHMOND VIDEO MR RASOIR If AN LUC LAPfRlf A FILS INC VILLA MARIANF ONE STOP FINANCIAI PIANNING SERVICES INC HEARING AIDS Electronic technology now allows us to offer you effective and powerful hearing aids They slip into the canal or the hollow ot your ear Call us for a test to see if it is suitable for you Tallin, Lamy, Masliah & Associates HEARING AID ACOUSTICIANS 800 Place Victoria Montreal (Québec) 514-866-7422 IN GRANBY 2nd Tuesday ot the month 10 a m to 1 p m (by appointment) Clinique Medicale St Jacques Inc 369 St Jacques Tel 514-375-1161 IN WATERLOO 2nd Tuesday of the month 2pm to 6 p m (by appointment) Centre Medical Waterloo 4900 Foster Tel 514-539-1102 WC'RC HAVING A STCAK PARTY AT THE ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION BRANCH 10, SHERBROOKE SAT JULY 28th born 5 30 to 7 30 p m MENU STEAK & BAKED POTATO » SALAD & DESSERT m, g, wine & coffee Info.: 563-4944 Father continues abuse Dear Ann Landers: 1 was sexually abused by my stepfather for several years before I finally got up the nerve to tell my mother.She pressed charges but later dropped them.Sam (not his real name) went for alcohol rehabilitation and saw a psychiatrist All this happened six years ago.Since then, Sam has apologized to me a million limes and keeps saying he would do anything to make the past up to me.Occasionally he says things that make me uncomfortable, but never anything specific, until a few days ago.We were together alone for several hours.He was helping me find a new apartment.(I’m now 19.)

Egyptian delegate Nabil Elaraby told the Uruguay Round steering committee session Wednesday.Developing countries in particu lar are said to be unhappy with the lack of substantial negotiations this week, especially as some had brought large delegations to the Geneva-based General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade at great ex pense.MANY UNHAPPY "A number of delegates have .expressed disappointment that we were not going as fast as they would have liked in terms of substantive negotiations," GATT spokesman David Woods told a news briefing."I don't think it's something that is particularly limited to African countries or even just developing countries 1 think there are a number of developed countries that al so might have liked to have gone further than they actually did The session appeared likely to end earlier than many delegates had predicted, largely because the United States and the European Community agreed at the start of the week to defer debate on a disa greement over farm subsidies The failure to tackle the agi n ul ture issue, one of the most impor taut m the Uruguay Hound, took the steam out of the rest of the ses sion, although delegates did agree on a base from which to proceed with talks on each of the lf> trade sectors.The session is likely to end w ith a move to speed up the process in the run up to Brussels European Community chief ne gotiator Hugo Paemen said the Trade Negotiations Committee, the steering body of the Uruguay Round, would meet in permanent session from Oct 8.This would mean that chief nego tialors.who have access to high level political authority, could move quickly to resolve blockages as they occurred A compromise document on agriculture lays out clear propo sals (or cutting domestic lurm sup ports and import barriers, and says export subsidies should he re duccd most ol all But Canada, the United States and agricultural exporters like Australia still insist on the élimina turn ol export subsidies, while the EC has made it plain it w ill defend their use Farm Loans: N.B.minister says there’s ‘compassion in every loan’ By Chris Morris FREDERICTON(CP) —Suggestions that New Brunswick’s farm lending practices are inhumane and hard-hearted have been rejected by the provincial agriculture minister.Alan Graham said the picture in relation to farm loans and foreclosures isn’t as bleak as some farmers have painted it following the death last week of a northern New Brunswick hog farmer who was about to lose his farm."We’re not out on any witchhunt,” snapped Graham in an interview this morning.“We're not out to do anything that will affect the farm.We use compassion in every loan.” The New Brunswick Federation of Agriculture called Wednesday for an independent inquiry of farm loans and foreclosures as a result of the apparent suicide of Terry Sullivan, a 40-year-old farmer whose body was found last week near the burned ruins of his pig barn.Graham didn't reject the request out of hand, but he was clearly cool to the idea He said the department would have no problem reviewing the Sullivan case independently, but he doesn’t think a review of the whole system is needed.Graham said the province cur rently has about $70 million in loans out to about 990 farmers Of that total, only about 20 accounts are in trouble, he said NO DEALS MADE "The majority of the loans are being paid back every day.so it's only fair to those people who are paying their bills that there's no special deal for anyone." He said there are four farm foreclosures in the works.Including the Sullivan farm.But all are on hold because of the farmer's death Graham said the province is trying to work out a deal with Sulh van's widow to enable her to keep the farm her husband spent 17 years trying to build Five years ago, Sullivan lost a highly publicised court battle with his Charlo neighbors who sued him because of the stench from his farm.The case prompted the province to pass nghl to-farm legisla- tion to protect farmers from nul sauce suits, but it came too late for Sullivan Partly because of the costly rort case.Sullivan fell behind in payments on his $500.(8)0 loan from the Agriculture Development Hoard At the time of Ins death, the tar mer was embroiled m a dispute with agriculture officials who wanted to show his property to prospective buyers.Textiles: Market stagnant, Ontario company gets tough OTTAWA (CP) — Cali Cloth Textile Inc.of Smiths Falls, Ont., is preparing for a growth spurt that could

decided to keep the W B Scott arena open for another season After examining the balance sheets, a motion was passed in late May by the University 's executive committee to close the doors per-mananlely Financial statements showed the 29 year-old arena was in the red Last season alone, the arena had a deficit of $80.000 Valiant efforts by athletic department officials over the past months to save the arena have earned a green light from the administration But that light w ill shine until next spring only, at which time univeri-ty officials will reassess the arena's financial statements It'll be open under Bishop's operation for 1990-91,” said Tom Allen, director of athletic facilites.Higher rental fees, different hours, and pushing intramural icetime bac k an hour helped persuade the administration to give the rink until May.“Last Wednesday, we went through all our figures and expectations and we agreed to try and do it again, ' Allen said in a telephone interview.LOWER RENT Originally, the University jacked its rental fees from $75 to $125, but Allen decided to lower the price by $25 for all current contract holders “Everybody has verbally or in writing signed a contract, except for minor hockey and figure ska ting." he said.Allen developed a new formula to create more hours available for rental The athletic facilities director pushed the students' mtramu ral program back an hour, allowing three prime time slots for rent “We left those three nights at $125 an hour, and took out some ads in newspapers advertising the hours." he said."One community program which has been saved by the town of Lennoxville is Sunday afternoon family skating."The town has agreed to pay for it,” Allen said "It’s entirely separate from the minor hockey and figure skating program," he added.Bruce Coulter, director of athletics for Bishop's, believes the new hours will not adversely affect athletic programs.“The only thing that might happen is that we might back intramurals off an hour," Coulter said.The women's Polar Bears ice hockey will not be affected by the changes.Coulter said MEN'S HOCKEY?With one program salvaged, talk about bringing back a men’s hockey team to Bishop's has been put off.For years alumni and athletic officials have discussed the possibility of putting the purple-and-whites back on skates.Coulter feels the unpredictable future of the arena isn't the reason for shifting the men's program to the ba< khurner "It's pretty well on hold," he said "The problem isn't the rink as far as the hockey team goes The problem is one of funding.It's something that we would love to work towards.” he said.“It’s expensive to run a team in the Untano-Quebec university league," Coulter added "It's phenomenal the amount of money involved.” mmÊ Tom A lien.'We agreed to try and do it again.’ All-white PGA hosts consider black membership BIBMINGHAM.Ala (AP) — Mayor Richard Arrington, trying to quell the controversy surrounding the PGA championship, said Thursday that Shoal Creek Country Club assured him it would begin considering blacks for membership.The new policy probably won’t deter demonstrators from picketing the tournament site Aug.9-12, when professional golf brings one of its four major events to the all-white club.Three major sponsors — IBM, Toyota and Anheuser-Busch — are dropping their advertisements during ABC and ESPN telecasts of the championship because of Shoal Creek's membership policy.On Thursday, Delta Airlines, the officialairlineof the PGA.wasalso said to be reducing its level of participât ion.'The entire matter is an embarrassment to the city,'’ said Arring- ton, who is black.He has been negotiating behind the scenes with Shoal Creek, business and civic leaders and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.The controversy began last month when Shoal Creek’s foun der, Hall Thompson, said the club would not be pressured into accepting black members— a statement for which he later apologized.Arrington, serving his third term as the city 's first black chief executive, produced a clarification of Shoal Creek’s bylaws and a letter from Thompson; both said no proposed member would be turned down because of race.The mayor said he was confident, “based on these good faith commitments, that Shoal Creek’s membership will include blacks within the next year.“The proposed demonstrations at the PGA will not be necessary to achieve this end." Arrington said.WANTS SUBSTANCE However, the Rev.Abraham Woods, president of the local Southern Christian Leadership Conference who has been organizing demonstrations, said he wanted “something more than on paper” before he would call off the protestors.He said Arrington “has full confidence in good-faith efforts.I’ve said all along we need substance.” Woods had said he would call off his protest if the club accepted Arrington as an honorary member, suggesting that a corporate sponsor could pay the $35,000 initiation fee for the mayor.Arrington at first said country clubs were “not my style," but he said Thursday he would reconsider.The PGA, meantime, reissued a statement it made July 14 saying it had “initiated a detailed review, in concert with our co-sponsors, to determine all pertinent information concerning the membership policies of these private clubs.” In Atlanta, a civil-rights leader said the PGA protest would extend to the Masters, the most prestigious of U.S.tournaments.“The PGA and golf are eons behind other sports,” said Rev.Joseph Lowery, president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference.Lowery promised to call for ad vertisleTS to boycott the Masters next year if the Augusta National Golf Club continues to exclude black members."At a time when this nation has hailed and welcomed Nelson Mandela.it is absolutely hypocritical when we look at the fact that country clubs which represent the elite-.continue to operate under white-supremacy philosophies and poli cies.” McEnroe wins at Player’s, eyes U.S.Open TORONTO (CP) Gearing up for (he U.S.Open, third seeded John McEnroe defeated Israel’s Amos Mansdorf in a third-round match at the $1.5-million Player's International, winning more easily than he had anticipated.McEnroe displayed some of his old magic with an array of drop shots and volleys undc-r the hot mid day sun.In taking Game 2 of the second set — after Mansdorf came up with a pair of stunning saves for winners — he broke Mansdorf s spirit and slipped into cruise control from that point for a 6-3, 6-4 win.A two-time winner of the tournament also known as the Canadian Open, the feisty 31-year-old lefthander is on the comeback trail again after taking off four months from the ATP Tour this year.“Right now, I don't do anything better than I did 10 years ago,” McEnroe said.“But 1 hope to do some things better before I stop playing."Maybe being older and wiser can make up for youth and enthusiasm When Andres Gomez won the French Open (over 20-year-old Andre Agassi), it was good for all the old guys because it showed ex- perience can win over youth.” McEnroe qualified for a quarterfinal against the winner of the final singles match of the day between Toronto’s Andrew Sznajder and fifth seed Pete Sampras.CANADIANS WIN Later Thursday afternoon, the top-seeded Canadian tandem of Grant Connell and Glenn Miehiba-ta beat McEnroe and Australian Mark Woodforde.4-6, 7-5, 7-5 in doubles.McEnroe and Woodforde, defending U.S.Open champions, hadn't played together since November.While McEnroe is trying to recapture his dominating form of the early 1980s, 18-year-old Michael Chang is trying to live up to the standard he established for himself by winning the 1989 French Open.The seventh-seeded Californian looked sharp on centre court be- fore a decidedly smaller crowd than had gathered for the McEnroe match, taking out No.9 David Wheaton 6-0.6-3.“I played very badly and he played very well,” said Wheaton “That’s disastrous.” In the quarter-final today, Chang meets top seed Andre Agassi, an overwhelming 6-2, 6-4 winner over Australian Darren Cahill on centre court in the evening In other third-round matches during the blistering afternoon at the York University campus.Jacob Hlasek of Switzerland beat American Jimmy Arias in straight sets.The win set up a quarter-final against the charging Todd Wit-sken, who eliminated Ramesh Krishnan of India, 6-4, 6-4.No.6 Tim Mayotte beat American Richey Reneberg
