Saying the government has in creased taxes by more than $1 billion in the last year, Parizeau referred to a published report Thursday indicating the province will still fall $700 million short in its budget this fiscal year, Parizeau.PQ finance minister from 1970 until 1984, said he wants some straight answers on the state of the provincial economy from “either the finance minister or the premier, I don't care.” “I want somebody who will come and tell us where that money is going." Parizeau told a news conference to outline his views on the first year of the government's current mandate.The Liberals argue they have halved the provincial deficit in the last few years to $1.75 billion but Parizeau accused them of trickery.“I think that there's been a great deal of juggling in the last three or four years with accounting procedures and that a lot of what they say is an improvement in the pu- blic finances is really hiding behind accounting conventions.GO TO JAIL “Your private corporations use the same accounting conventions that some governments use, (and) their president and officers would be in jail." Lise Bacon, acting premier with Bourassa on vacation, dismissed the report in Quebec Le Soleil which indicated the slowdown in the economy and the Mohawk crisis near Montreal will result in a $700-million shortfall for the province this year.Quoting unidentified sources in the Treasury Board.Le Soleil said the crisis at Kahnawake and Kane satake and the building of a road near Kahnawake will cost $150 million.Bacon disputed the $150 million as “not the figure 1 have." “I think the president of the Treasury Board is in a better position to give you an exact figure.I don't want to venture numbers in his place, even if I am deputy premier.” But Bacon acknowledged she is part of a cabinet committee which is looking at ways of helping the government save money across the hoard.“There are programs which have been around for ages and which should maybe be looked at more closely to see if they shouldn't be scrapped.But that’s healthy management of public money.” The Liberals won 92 of the 125 ridings in the election last Sept.25.The PQ won 29 and the Equality-party four.Army : Some troops to go — ‘There will be no attack’ By Eric Siblin and John Davidson OKA (CP) — Mohawks in Kahnawake and Kanesatake braced for military action Thursday but the army declared instead it plans to reduce its numbers and hand responsibilities back to the Quebec Police Force.Lt.-Gen.Kent Foster, head of Canadian Forces Mobile Command, told a news conference in St-Hubert south of Montreal “there will be no attack within the perimeters” of the area in Oka where armed Warriors are holed up.Asked how long authorities were prepared to wait for a break in the standoff with the Warriors, he said: “There is no time limit to anything.” Foster also said that the army will be replaced gradually by provincial police “when it’s safe to do so.” Foster added that the army will also continue to support the police in searches for weapons in Kahnawake.But it will no longer give advance notice in wake of a violent attack on soldiers earlier this week by natives during a search of the reserve.He said he has asked Brig.-Gen.Armand Roy, who is in command of troops at Oka and Kahnawake, to prepare a plan of transition in co-operation with provincial police.“I hope to have this plan in my hands within the next two days.” JOB REMAINS The troops' priorities, when they originally moved in to assist the QBE, w-ere to arrange a disengage- ment at Oka and to complete a weapons search at Kahnawake along with the police.Neither task is finished but Foster contended at the news conference the army's mandate is nearing completion.“What remains to be done is to complete the restoration of the normal conditions of public safety and security to the affected areas.” The notion of eventually turning security duties back to the QPF drew a sharp response from Bob Antone, spokesman for the 50 natives who remain encircled by troops at Kahnesatake.’’They are clearing the way for the Sûreté du Québec to continue their vendetta against the Mo hawks,” he said in an interview.“They want to break the spirit of the Mohawk nation" A QPF officer was fatally shot in July when police staged an unsuccessful attempt to dismantle barricades erected at Oka by Mohawks to block expansion of a golf course onto land they consider sacred.The army set up two high-pressure water hoses outside the Warrior enclave at Kahnesatake on Thursday, said Capt.Mike Fab-bro.military spokesman.“We hope it will never have to be used but if it has to be used it (will be) as a deterrent" he said.Negotiations aimed at ending the armed standoff between Mohawks and troops near Oka.'to kilometres west of Montreal, have ground to a halt.An open letter to the people of Canada issued by the Mohawks early Thursday said: "We will no longer discuss political problems with the military who claims to be powerless to address them yet de nies us access to our civilian leadership."

A Hydro-Quebec employee faces charges of mischief following a power failure which hit 250,000 customers in the Montreal area Wednesday night, police said Thursday.Réjean Lessard, assistant director for Laprairie police, said the unidentified man will be charged today with causing $45,000 worth of damage to a transformer at a substation in Laprairie, on the South Shore across the St.Lawrence River from Monteal.Hydro also lost $250.000 worth of electricity revenue during the blackout, Lessard said in an interview.The 32-year-old employee was demoted eight months ago for at tempted sabotage, Jacques André-Couture, a Hydro spokesman, said.Montreal police reported no traffic accidents, looting or injuries resulting from the two-hour blackout which knocked out traffic lights and the city's subway system, forcing some riders to climb stairs to the street level.The blackout was caused when someone grounded the Laprairie transformer.Couture said at a news conference on Thursday.Couture said Hydro guards admitted the suspected employee to the sub-station Wednesday night before the blackout because the man showed identification he held when he was a transformer operator.Couture said.The man was demoted eight .months ago to janitor from operator after trying to cut off power and should not have had his old identifi- cation.Couture said.He could not have gained entry to the substation so late at night with only a janitor’s identification.PSYCHOLOGICAL PROBLEMS Asked why the man was still working for the provincial utility after the episode, Couture said “when someone has psychological problems, you have to give them a chance.” About 250.000 customers living in large areas of Montreal and the South Shore were without power for periods of time between 9 p.m.and midnight Wednesday.Initial radio reports suggested the power failure may have been the result of sabotage near the Kahnawake reserve where Mohawks have been confronting police and the army for 10 weeks.mail, ‘brainwash’ top complaints Navy: ueience writer Paul Mooney of CP Ottawa is the print representative in a small media pool aboard the Canadian task force sailing toward the Persian Gulf.By Paul Mooney ABOARD HMCSPROTECTEUR (CP) — The morale of the Canadian naval task force on the way to the Persian Gulf remains high despite the heat and boredom, but some sailors complain about A day for DJIBOUTI (CPl —The Canadian naval task force on its way to the Persian Gulf arrived in Djibouti on Thursday for a day-long visit to the former French colony.The three ships will leave Djibouti today to sail to the Strait to Hormuz and north in the Persian Gulf.The task force is expected to be in its operating waters in the central gulf by the end of the month The supply ship and two destroyers are going to the gulf to help enforce the trade sanctions the UN imposed on Iraq for its Aug.2 invasion of Kuwait.After days of sailing south Missing lack of news and missing bags of mail.A young sailor standing watch on deck one night approached a reporter.His floppy white tropical hat pulled low on his brow and his face barely visible on the darkened deck, the sailor launched into a litany of complaints about the lack of information for ordinary seamen aboard.“Why don't they tell us anything?” he asked.“They’re trying to keep us in the dark to through me neu aea, sailors with shore leave were pleased with the opportunity to stretch their legs.Many shopped in the marketplace in the 200-year-old French garrison city despite the 40 degree heat and high humidity.Djibouti, a small country with a population of about 450.000.serves as a major port for Ethiopia and Somalia.The majority of the popu lation is Muslim and speaks Arabic and French The small country voted in favor of independence from France in 1977.The French armed forces still maintain an infantry brigade, a foreign leeinn hrieade and a squa- brainwash us.They told our families we were going to the Gulf of Oman — now, we're going to the centre of the Persian Gulf.What’s going on?” A petty officer with more than 20 years in the navy complained bitterly about nine bags of mail that were delivered close to where the ship docked in Sicily but didn't reach the ship and now are lost.“It doesn't take much to keep a sailor happy," he said above the sounds of a country band belting dron of fighter aircraft.The French fleet also uses port facilities in Djibouti, and a sleek French frigate was alongside when the three grey Canadian warships were guided to their berths by local harbor pilots.Late today, the Canadians will sail into the Arabian Sea.headed for the Strait of Hormuz.The Canadian vessels have UN permission to use force to stop ships from supplying Iraq.The destroyers Athabaskan and Terra Nova as well as the supply ship Protecteur left Halifax on Aug.24 with 934 men and women aboard out a tune on the mess public address system, “but we want our mail.This happens to us all the time." The NCO complained about a lack of information aboard ‘T've got a great bunch of kids below." he said.“They cometo me every day and ask—- What's going on.chief, give us some news '" He shrugged his shoulders and smoothed his short, greying hair.“What am I supposed to tell them?” MORALE HIGH But morale of the task force remains very high.Most people are proud to be part of the mission and are eager to get on with what they're trained to do.The Protecteur is one of three Canadian ships being sent to the gulf to enforce UN trade sanctions against Iraq.The others are the destroyers Athabaskan and Terra Nova The ships left Halifax on Aug.24 with 934 men and women aboard.The task force arrived in Djibouti on Thursday for a day-long visit.They will leave the former French colony today to sail to the Strait to Hormuz and north in the Persian Gulf.The task force is expected to be in its operating waters in the central gulf by the er.d of the month.The commander of the task force.Commodore Ken Summers, and the captains of the three vessels have given detailed briefings on the mission to all involved.But many of the younger sailors have little knowledge of the politics of the Middle East, and even after briefings complain they don’t really understand.A Canadian newscast is taped and played three times daily throughout the ship.But almost a month after the task force sailed, even many of the officers aboard Protecteur were unaware they can tune in to the broadcast on the grey wall speakers in their cabins The apprehension among some of the younger sailors is normal, officers say.FEARS GROUNDLESS But many of the younger sailors still imagine the three ships sailing valiantly about the Persian Gulf alone, prey to every missile and aircraft in the Iraqi arsenal.They still don't understand they'll be operating with a powerful fleet and under an awesome array of long-range air surveillance and firepower, including a squadron of Canadian CF-18 fighter jets.Capt.Baxter Park, the task force chaplain, also notes that some of the youngsters thought they were joining a peacetime service.“I sometimes have to point out to them that they signed on the dotted line.” says the affable Anglican priest.“The navy has fulfilled its half of the bargain.We have to keep ours.” Officers agree there’s no excuse for losing nine bags of mail, especially during a mission when the letters from home mean so much and sailors could be at sea for six months.Navy Capt.Doug McClean, the commanding officer of Protecteur, has assured the ship's company it won't happen again.Officers know the greatest threat to morale may be boredom.Once the ships are on station and have patrolled the same piece of water for several weeks, the constant heat and routine could sap resolve.So officers plan eight-day patrols.followed by four days in port.Plenty of games, contests and social activities are planned.“We know it can get boring for everyone after a while.” says Chief Petty Officer John Auld, the coxswain aboard Protecteur."We ll have plenty for every one to do." shopping in Djibouti > 2—The RECORD—Friday, September 21, 1990 Violation: Media rights fight cranks up OTTAWA (CPt—Canada’s army is acting above the law at Oka, say civil libertarians, politicians, lawyers and media representatives."The military is very clearly acting in violation of its authority.It’s completely unregulated,” University of Ottawa law professor Bradford Morse said Wednesday.The army tightened the noose around the 50 remaining Mohawk Warriors, women and children left under seige at Oka last week when it cut most land and cellular phone links to the stronghold.The military also began restricting all food and supplies to journalists and turned back shipments of warm clothes and blankets for the Mohawks.Children have been allowed one set of warm clothing.“Charter rights have not been suspended,” said André Paradis of the Montreal-based Quebec Civil Liberties Union."The actions of the army are in violation of constitutional rights.” Under the Emergencies Act, which replaced the War Measures Act in 1988.crises, including w'ars, insurrections, natural disasters and international crises, can cause emergency powers to be invoked by the government.ARMY ORDERED IN But when Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa ordered the army into Oka in August, no such law was invoked.In addition.Morse said, the Quebec government has violated the National Defence Act by failing to file a report on the reasons the military was called in.Toronto lawyer Clayton Ruby accused the military of forgetting that Canada is a democracy."Cutting off phone lines means they can hide the truth." The actions have prompted the Ottawa Citizen, whose reporter Ian MacLeod has been behind Warrior lines for 18 days, and the Montreal Gazette, whose reporter Ann McLaughlin and photographer John Kenny are there, to go to court in an attempt to have their phone links reinstated.The case is to be argued in Quebec Superior Court Friday.The Citizen has written to Defence Minister Bill McKnight and senior military officials requesting, among other things, an assurance MacLeod will not be searched or interrogated if he leaves the assignment.The letters also protest the "violations of a free press and ordinary human rights that have occurred in the past few days.” Alan Borovoy, director of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, said the army and the government “have a duty to ensure the media can get stories out."The media represents an independent witness to what’s going on," Borovoy said."It’s important to the people who are directly affected.the natives, the soldiers and the Canadian public.The public must be able to scrutinize how the army acts.” Gail Lem, president of the 3000-member Southern Ontario Newspaper Guild, described the army’s treatment of the media at Oka as "deplorable and outrageous.“This is a concerted attempt by authorities to stop the recording of a major event by the news media.” Novelist John Ralston Saul, president of the Canadian Centre In- ternational PEN blamed elected officials for the army's treatment of the media.‘Tm the son of an army officer and I know the army carries ou government orders, yet elected officials deny giving orders.They’re hiding behind public servants.” Saul said McKnight has a lot of explaining to do since giving assu- rances on Sept.7 that the media would continue to have access to supplies at the Mohawk compound.The letter, written by McKnight’s assistant Don Marsh, said: “Media within the military cordon may stay there or leave if they wish.Equipment and films belonging to these journalists will be al- lowed to pass through the military lines and food will be provided to them." MacLeod said Wednesday that the media now gets a warm meal once a day, prepared by the Mohawks at the centre.He said food is running low and the military seems to be decreasing its supply every day.Police: QPF drops shooting denial East and West Germany sign unification treaty BONN (AP) — Legislators from both Germanys ratified a treaty Thursday that will end four decades of division and unite their countries in 13 days.They followed the votes with singing, shouting and handshakes.The treaty was the last one needing approval before the Germanys unite on Oct.3.In the Bundestag, West Germany’s parliament, legislators loudly applauded their passage of the treaty and broke into a chorus of the national anthem.Members of the Volkskammer, East Germany’s parliament, stood up, hooted with joy and shook hands after their vote in East Berlin.The Bundestag approved the treaty by a 442-47 vote.It was passed by the Volkskammer 299-80.Just last week, the four Second World War victors and the two Germanys signed a document clearing away global obstacles to unification and forfeiting the Allies’ special rights.On July 1, a treaty merging the economies of both Germanys took effect, giving East Germans the West German mark and plunging them into the rigors of capitalism.The treaty approved Thursday acts as the formal unification document and reconciles the two states’ vastly different legal systems.It preserves East Germany’s liberal abortion law, guarantees some social programs for jobless East Germans, and gives investors first claim to East German property.Experts say this is necessary to revive the country ’s moribund economy.But it leaves many of the specifics of reconciling the two Germanys’ legal systems to a united German parliament to be elected on Dec.2.MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec provincial police — increasingly faced with evidence that contradicts their previous claims — no longer deny they fired shots in a July 11 gun battle with Mohawks.In earlier statements.Quebec Police Force spokesmen have consistently denied that they fired any shots in the gun battle that triggered the current Mohawk standoff.The July 11 shootout, in which one officer died, followed an unsuccessful police raid on a Mohawk barricade near Oka and triggered the crisis."We cannot comment further on any previous statements which we may have made about this matter.” police spokesman Denis Ha- Mohawks:- Continued from page one "We suspect that sopnething will be executed before Monday, when Parliament convenes,” band councillor Walter Goodleaf said in a telephone interview.Goodleaf said any such military action would be greeted with the same "spontaneous” resistance as an action earlier this week.A violent hand-to-hand clash erupted Tuesday after troops of the Royal Canadian Regiment moved in to support a search for weapons by provincial police in Kahnawake, south of Montreal.After the melee, which involved the use of fists, feet, teeth, stones, rifle butts, and tear gas, 19 soldiers were examined by army doctors.Four were treated.About 75 Mohawks were treated for tear gas exposure and two were sent to hospital with broken bones.Capt.Y von Desjardins, military spokesman for the Kahnesatake area, said Thursday that search-and-seizure operations on the 6000-member reserve will continue.“Tuesday was not the last one — that’s for sure,” Desjardins said, referring to the raid, which the army said turned up 47 weapons.The army said if soldiers return, they'll have plexiglas shields and face masks.Since soldiers and Mohawks chez said Wednesday."The relevant facts will be revealed in a coroner’s inquiry.” The change in tone of official police statements follows several recent developments.In an official letter to the parliament of the European Community dated Sept.14, Quebec Native Affairs Minister John Ciaccia says police “exchanged shots” with the Warriors at Oka on July 11.On Wednesday, Montreal La Presse reported that members of the QPF tactical squad who participated in the abortive July 11 at tack wrote in internal reports that they fired their weapons as they retreated.In a statement made under oath last week to Quebec Court, QPF Cpl.Gilles Charette said that as a result of the July 11 police operation "a shootout took place with armed and masked individuals of the Mohawk community who call themselves Warriors.” A 20-year veteran of the force, Charette is assigned to one of several police investigations of the Mohawk crisis.He made the statement in an affidavit submitted to the court last week, when police obtained a court order to cut telephone service between the Mohawk compound at Oka and the outside world, including service between journalists on the scene and their newsrooms.The Canadian Police Associa- tion, which took out advertisements in newspapers across the country defending the actions of its Quebec colleagues during the July 11 raid, has also modified its position on that day’s events.Earlier ads, which ran under the headline “We oppose terrorism” and claimed to clarify events, said that police "fell into an ambush laid by the Warriors.which led to the murder of Cpl.Marcel Lemay.” A revised version of the ad issued this week says only that the Warriors “fired upon” police and that the gunfire "resulted in the death” of Lemay.jointly dismantled roadblocks earlier this month in Kahnawake, military-backed police raids searching for illegal weapons have been an almost daily occurrence at the reserve.MORE RAIDS Kahnawake Grand Chief Joe Norton said Wednesday he’s been told there will be at least three more raids before Parliament resumes sitting on Monday.Norton, who maintains the weapons discovered on the reserve were planted, has invited American civil rights leader Rev.Jesse Jackson to broker a solution to the lingering dispute.The Warriors holed up in Kahne-sata ke — where the standoff began in July over a land dispute — say they will lay down their arms only if a joint native-government commission is formed.The commission sought by the Mohawks would determine the legal fate of the Warriors land negotiate issues of Mohawk sovereignty and land claims.The Quebec government has rejected the commission idea, arguing there can be only one system of justice for all Quebecers.The military is insisting on unconditional surrender.In a letter to the Mohawks, deli- vered to the two dozen Warriors through the razor wire at Kahnesatake, the army says curtly “there is nothing left to clarify” between the two sides.“All discussions will now be limited to our military offer for disengagement,” said the letter, signed by Brig.-Gen.Armand Roy, the army’s tactical commander in Oka, and made public by the Mohawks.Also Thursday, the Canadian Civil Liberties Association called for a restoration of telephone links between journalists at the Mohawk compound and their newsrooms, and for an independent public inquiry into the army’s handling of the Oka rrisW Oka: Lawyers warned Ottawa LONDON (CP)—The native land dispute at Oka might have been prevented if Ottawa had acted on a report by the Canadian Bar Association about aboriginal rights, the group’s president said Thursday.John Jennings made the comment as 2000 Canadian lawyers began arriving here for the association’s annual meeting — the first outside North America.Asked what results flow from such meetings, Jennings said the association’s recommendations have often led to important re- form.But, in some cases, its recommendations have not been followed.For example, a native-rights report, which criticized the methods for handling land claims, was put before the federal government, including the Department of Indian Affairs, about two years ago.“We had our meetings with the (Indian affairs) minister, explained why it (the report) was good, sent copies to the various members of Parliament,” Jennings, a Toronto lawyer, told a briefing.“We were thanked very much and then zero."Now it’s come alive again because of the problems we’re having."But I can tell you without any doubt that if some of those recom-menc|ations had been adopted 2Vi yeark ago I don’t think you would have had barricades at Oka.” Earlier this week, negotiations collapsed between the Canadian army and a small band of armed Mohawks which the army surrounds near Oka.De Cotret; ‘Wanted to be environment minister’ By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) — Hard-driving, cigarette-smoking Robert de Cotret is a far cry from the image of a tree-hugging environmentalist, but ecologists say he may be the right kind of person to defend their interests in cabinet.“I’m pleased they're keeping him on,” said François Bregha of the Rawson Academy of Aquatic Science, following de Cotret’s fulltime appointment Thursday as environment minister.Janine Ferretti.executive director of Pollution Probe, was also pleased."We’re hopeful.He wanted to be environment minister which is always a good sign.It was more than just a willingness, but an active interest.” Those positive reactions contrast sharply with the dismay that greeted de Cotret's interim appointment to the post in June, following the resignation of Lucien Bouchard.There was nothing in de Cotret’s background to suggest any interest in environmental issues.He wras trained as an economist and made his reputation by going to Washington at the age of 26 to serve as a senior adviser to former U.S.president Richard Nixon.Tales of his intellectual prowess abound.At 28, as senior economist at the Conference Board of Canada, he designed a model of the Canadian economy which brought the board to pre-eminence in economic forecasting.During his stay at the Conference Board, of which he became the president, de Cotret developed close relations with senior members of the business community.Throughout his political career, de Cotret has been involved in economic issues.In the government of Brian Mulroney he has served quietly but dependably as president of Treasury Board, guardian of the public purse.TAKES AIM But Paul Martin, his Liberal critic.took aim at de Cotret’s legacy at Treasury Board.There he “was responsible for numerous budget and personnel cuts in programs directly related to the environment,” Martin said Thursday in a statement.De Cotret could hardly present a more striking contrast to his predecessor at environment, Lucien Bouchard.Bouchard came across as a passionate idealist out to save the world, speaking eloquently about the dangers facing the globe, his concern for future generations, the need for radical action.De Cotret doesn’t go in much for rhetoric and his pronouncements on the environment tend to the banal."This is one of the issues we have to deal with nationally, ” he said at a swearing-in ceremony Thursday."It’s something that will be with us for the next 15 or 20 years and probably for decades after that.” But environmentalists have been surprised at his willingness to meet them and learn from them.They say they don’t care if he sounds like a pragmatist rather than a deeply committed idealist.“One doesn’t have to be a convinced environmentalist to be a good environment minister,” says Bregha.“He’s politically canny, he knows his way around town, he knows how the committee system works.“I’ve got no doubts about his abilities as a political operator and that is what is needed at this stage.We’re talking about integrating environment and economy.In order to do that you need a good policy maker.“I don’t care about his motives, quite frankly, I just want to see what he does.If he delivers, that is going to be the important thing.” • “It’s nice to have a full-time environment minister," commented

Townships —___ Kccara Pinnacle: Back to Quebec after farmland hearing By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE — If the farmland protection board (CPTAQ) isn't confused after Thursday’s public hearings on a proposal to dezone 2300 acres of Pinnacle Mountain, it should be.An equal balance of speakers for and against the dezoning presented their views to the commission and some 200 interested citizens who packed a Cowansville hall.While the Association for the Conservation of Pinnacle Mountain told the CPTAQ it has “no business dezoning 2300 acres of one of the finest sugar maple forests in Quebec,” a spokesman for the re- v gion’s apple farmers asked the commission to release the mountain from the green (farming) zone.And while Ghislain Boulay, president of Frelighsburg’s development commitee, urged the CPTAQ to release “the town's only resource” from its farmland designation to provide jobs for future generations, a group of Massey Vanier high school students asked the board to protect the mountain from development so they and their children can continue to enjoy its natural beauty.OTHER PLACES TO SKI In an emotional plea.Massey Vanier senior Laura Sherrer said she and her peers want to be able to hike up the mountain with their children, just as they do.“There are eight places we can go to ski,” Sherrer said.Pierre Tellier, whose project for a ski, golf, and housing development needs the area dezoned for development, reminded the commission that the public consultation should be confined to presentations which deal strictly with agriculture.Tellier went on to accuse opponents of his project of looking for scandals, and inventing stories to influence public opinion.Both conservationists and prodevelopment groups brought an impressive line-up of luminaries to support their positions.ECONOMY HAS SHIFTED Architect Vincent Lambert, well 1 no vn as the designer of Mon-treal s Old Port, noted that since the end of World War II.the regional economy has shifted from agriculture and forestry to recreational and tourist activities.Lambert said the development of recreo-tourism services has become the “raison d’être” of many small towns and villages.Conservationists reiterated their claim the Pinnacle is the last undeveloped mountain close to Montreal.Several speakers asked the CPTAQ to evaluate the environmental risks of the mountain- side development.Others claimed a major tourist centre would have far-reaching effects on wildlife in the entire region.Jacques O’Bomsawin, a councillor with the Abenaki band near Be-cancoeur, asked the commission to protect one of Quebec's and the Abenaki’s natural sites.TOWN WANTED MORE Frelighsburg Mayor Wayne En right called the CPTAQ proposal to dezone 2300 acres of the Pinnacle “eompromisingly acceptable”.The town had initially asked for a larger section of the mountainside to be developed Enright said the town is proposing its own strict bylaws which will “obtain an ultimate control of progress, construction, and development in order to maintain the rural aspect of our territory." “These dezoned sections will stimulate good happenings towards the prosperity of our municipality Enright added.Following Thursday's hearing, the commission will send its final proposal and recommendations to Agriculture Minister Michel Pagé.To date, agricultural zoning plans have been approved by the government in 60 per cent of Quebec’s regional municipalities (MRCs).Bilodeau: Trooper finds phoney log-book entries By Dan Hawaleshka HAVERHILL.N.II.— Jurors in the Richard Bilodeau trial heard Thursday that the Coaticook trucker has a history of driving longer than he's allowed to before he has to rest.Cpl.Wayne Peasley is supervisor of the state’s road safety program.Peasley said truck drivers \ Peter Decato.Bilodeau dido 7 understand.must rest eight hours for every 10 worked.In testimony on the fourth day of the trial, he said Bilodeau broke the law 22 times in three months prior to the fatal accident which killed two state troopers and their prisoner.Bilodeau is charged with negligent homicide in the deaths of troopers Gary Parker, 30.and Joseph Gearty, 28.and Brian Goodwin.26.a prisoner the troopers were transporting when Bilodeau’s load of logs toppled onto their cruiser Nov.29 on Route 25 in Warren.He is being tried in Grafton County Superior Court.“He violated the 10-hour rule every 2.9 days for an average of 2.5 hours,” Peasley said.On seven of the 22 occasions Bilodeau drove between four and six hours more than he was allowed too.Peasley said.Under cross examination, Peasley admitted no single log en try exceeded 10 hours of driving.Defence lawyers will later try to prove that Bilodeau did not understand the law and thought the 10-hour rule meant 10 hours in a single day.FALSE ENTRIES Peasley said his investigation showed that Bilodeau falsified log entries.He said Bilodeau could not have made it to some destinations in the short times given in the log.Earlier in the day Pauline Clen-denin, a hostess at a Bow, N.H.truck stop, said she served Bilodeau coffee on the morning of Nov.29.Based in part on Clendenin’s testimony, Pleasley said Bilodeau could not have made the trip back to Quebec which the log book records.“There was no way he was back in Coaticook at 11:30 (a m.).It’s just physically impossible,” Peasley said.A large blow-up of the Nov.29 page from the log book sat on a stand before the jury.Peasley gave several more examples which showed had Bilodeau falsified the book.FREEHAND LINES Peasley, a trooper for 13 years, said the last log entry was uncharacteristically drawn in freehand.He said Bilodeau used a ruler to draw lines in his log books for September.October and November.The lines were on a graph detailing the number of hours Bilodeau worked.Peasley said Bilodeau deliberately drew in the line after the accident to bring his log book up to date.It is a state offence for a dri ver not to keep his log book up to date.He also said “this obviously hand-drawn line is an attempt to deceive law enforcement officers." Decato then showed Peasley other log entries which the trooper admitted were possibily drawn by Bilodeau without a ruler.A ruler retrieved from the crash site was entered as evidence The defence lawyer asked Peasley if he “frequently found violations” in truckers' log entries.“Yah.frequent," Peasley replied.BRAKES UNUSED?Peasley said that based on his daily experience inspecting brakes.Bilodeau likely never used his brakes in the crash.“My opinion is the brakes of the vehicle were not touched by the operator," he said.The courtroom was filled to capacity for the fourth day in a row.Several state troopers in both uniform and civilian clothes were there.Members of the deceased troopers’ families were also present.along with Bilodeau’s wife Carole McDuff.The day’s testimony began with Cpt.Robert Bouchard, who acted as interpreter for Bilodeau the night of the crash.In front of three television cameras and a dozen journalists, Sherbrooke defence lawyer Jean-Pierre Rancourt led the questioning.LANGUAGE Rancourt briefly took over from Decato because the topic was Bou chard’s grasp of French.“Some words in French 1 have difficulty with and I take a long time to put it together." Bouchard said.Bouchard interviewed Bilodeau twice the night of the crash, and recorded both conversations.Bilodeau "didn’t go into any long answers.They were all short," Bouchard said.Rancourt said Bilodeau kept his answers short because of the “difference in language." He said Bilodeau sometimes had difficulty understanding Bouchard.State prosecutor John Eames asked Bouchard if Bilodeau looked upset, nervous or scared.“He didn't look nervous to me.In fact, 1 was a little disturbed that he looked so calm.” Bouchard said.Trooper Michael Marshall took more than 130 black and white photographs a day and a half after the crash.“My conclusion was the truck was on the wrong side of the road,” Marshall said.One photo was enlarged for jurors Marshall pointed out faint lines on the road, allegedly from Bilodeau’s truck."You have to look very closely at this.They are very tiny,” he told the jury.Marshall testified that yaw marks — from sliding out of control — are characterized by diagonal lines.Decato told Marshall that if someone were to closely look at the photogragh, "they wouldn’t see striations or diagonal marks.” “That's correct." Marshall said.Memphré on TV : Looking for By Scott Verity Stevenson MAGOG — The search for Memphré continues.It has now reached the status of an ‘Unsolved yiystery,’ as television crews visited the area this week, filming for the Quebec equivalent of Unsolved Mysteries, Quatre Saison s Dossier Mystère.Wednesday and Thursday production crews followed the research of local "dracontologist”, Memphré in the movies — or at least on TV: Paul ques Biosvert, Mario Marleau and Martin Remil-Bourgeault.Denis Paquette, Marcel Belanger, Jac- lard.diver and insurance man Jacques Boisvert.Boisvert has collected countless documentations of Memphré—133 sightings — and a variety of references to such creatures ranging from the Bible to Indian mythology.Boisvert is also something of an underwater expert.He dives in Lake Memphremagog just about every day for more than half the year, and has calculated that he scuba dived 3107 times from 1979 to '89.He’s found everything from antique bottles to bodies, horseshoes to motorboat batteries.He said he learns an important part of the history of the region just from his un derwater discoveries.IMPASSIONED Co-producer of Dossier Mystère, Paul Bourgeault compared Boisvert to Quebec archeologist René Lévesque, who is searching for the Quebec City tomb of Samuel de Champlain.“There are few men like him.They are impassioned by their work.They put their whole heart into it,” Bourgeault said.“He will probably be the first person to film Memphré." he added.referring to Boisvert's new waterproof, submersible videoca mera.“It’s a good hobby for him.He’s very valuable to the community,” Bourgeault said between interviews with Memphré witnesses.Thursday Bourgeault and his the lake creature In the window: Jacques Boisvert's giant calling card.— SIP & JNÈ), crew were filming Boisvert’s monster archives.Wednesday they had been out on Lake Memphremagog filming him in his diving habitat.ANACONDA Bourgeault said Memphré is the first underwater monster with a documented sighting, and has also been seen the most.Of the 133 documented sightings, the first was recorded in 1816 by Magog's founder.But evidence of earlier belief in the monster goes back to the In- dians.who called it Anaconda, the name of the world’s largest species of snake.Bourgeault and the production crew of Dossier Mystère have relied greatly on Jacques Boisvert's archives.They will be interviewing the most reliable witnesses to Memphré.as well as a fisherman who detected a huge living object on his sonar.The program will air on Quebec’s Quatre Saison network December 10 at 8 p.m.George ville: Boat sales as village ponders life without By Scott Verity Stevenson GEORGEVILLF.— The McGowan House in Georgeville has been sold, but the marina and docks are still open That was the word from former owner Ross Spencer and Dorothy Jeffery, secretary treasurer of He ritage Georgeville Inc., as construction crews dug out the gas pump Thursday Heritage Georgeville bought the McGowan House property, which includes the buildings and docks but not the Lakeside Marine company, still owned and operated by Ross Spencer.Lakeside Marine will continue to sell and service boats, he said, and Heritage Georgeville will continue to rent dock space.The group has set up an advisory committee to suggest ideas on what should be done with the McGowan property.Headed by John Boynton, the committee will consult residents for community input.Jeffery said one of the possibilities being considered is a full-scale.medium-priced restaurant.But some local businesses say removal of the gas pump will reduce their clientele."It’s definitely going to affect business,” said Maureen Cameron, co-owner of the Village Store closest to the docks and federal wharf.BUSINESS IS BOATS “A large percentage of weekend business is boat traffic,” she said.“It's always been boat traffic.” Cameron said the summer season is very important to local businesses because as autumn sets in many people leave the area “Businesses need the boat traffic." she said, adding that a gas pump attracts the boats to one of the only wharfs on the east side of the lake.“As Ross Spencer said.It’s not easy running a business in Georgeville.’” But Heritage Georgeville doesn't want too many boats."We feel the bay is too small for too much boat traffic." Jeffery said.She said she didn't think removing the gas pump would hurt business in town.Georgeville General Store owner Larry Thibault said he thought cutting out gas sales would affect the to remain gas pump businesses of Georgeville."Less boats will mean less customers,” he said."With the gas pump there were more people in the village sometimes they needed beer, or whatever." But Thibault said the future also depends on what Heritage Georgeville does with the McGowan House.Cameron agreed.“We have to be fair to the new owners.They’ve set up an advisory committee that will consult the public." she said.Cameron's aunt and uncle used to own McGowan House, running it as a fishing lodge.She said she would like to see it continue as such.“It's a tradition.But some kind of inn would be nice." Heritage Georgeville may turn McGowan House into a full-scale, medium-price restaurant, says secretary-treasurer Dorothy Jeffery.ijPttjMjMM!' Sp K.-S ENCOURAGE THE RICHMOND REGIONAL HIGH SCHOOL — BUY A CHOCOLATE BAR! » 4—The RECORD—Friday, September 21, 1990 Editorial Record Tlx Voice of the Kantern Townships since 1897 Lessons from the past Quebec is seriously lacking in political leadership, and it seems we have also lost our premier.In the middle of the most serious crisis since he took power for the second time in 1985, Robert Bourassa has decided to take a vacation.Meanwhile an already tense situation at Oka and Kahnawake is becoming increasingly violent and uncontrolled.While Bourassa’s cabinet colleagues strenuously defend their boss for taking a vacation he had to cancel his holidays earlier this summer because of the Meech Lake debacle and the Oka crisis — how many of us take time off during crucial periods for our employers or businesses?Bourassa has proved time and time again he is incapable of leadership and its most important attribute: the ability to make liiick, intelligent decisions in order to diffuse political and social instability.We have not elected a statesman — we have chosen an accountant.The books may look meat, our credit rating may be up, but our society is falling apart.Our premier has a long history of putting important social issues on the backburner.For two years he put off a decision on controversial Bill 101 — handing reponsibility over to the Supreme Court and later bowing to public Pressure by passing the immensely unpopular compromise: Bill 178.Later, during the PCB crisis at St-Basile le Grand, Bourassa was on a trade mission in Europe, leaving the province in the control of Lise Bacon — our wonderfully decisive vice-premier who seems to have picked up her decision-making abilities from the Robert Bourassa school of procrastination and crisis mismanagement.It isn't as if Bourassa s actions should come as a surprise to Quebecers, who unfortunately have a short political memory.During the October Crisis Bourassa called on then-prime minister Pierre Elliot Trudeau to resolve the crisis for him.Trudeau declared martial law and brought in the army, setting off some of the worse human rights abuses in Quebec and Canadian history, until now.It seems electors aren’t the only ones who have not learned a lesson from the past.Faced with the second most serious crisis of his political career, Bourassa has once again turned to the federal government and the Canadian ar- | my.His decision to call in the army and his ! refusal to negotiate quickly and reasonably ! with the Oka Mohawks has turned a resolvable I mini-crisis over a nine-hole golf course into in- '¦ ternational incident which seems bound to end in a bloody confrontation.If Bourassa can’t stand the heat, he should get out of the kitchen.That doesn’t mean he should take off to the United States for a rest.It means that if he is incapable of adequate leadership he should resign and allow Quebecers to elect a premier capable of decisions on other than economic issues.(I don’t mean PQ leader Jacques Parizeau who’s earlier comments on the native crisis were racist and unacceptable.) Canada is at a turning point in its history.After hundreds of years of broken promises, Canadian natives have risen up seeking justice.They haven't picked the best way to go about it and they don’t have choice spokesmen, but many, if not most, of their demands are legitimate.Canadians and Quebecers must look seriously at the demands of our native people not only with an eye to the present crisis but with a backward glance at the turbulent past.In order to resolve this political and social crisis what is needed is an understanding of the past and an ability to take decisive action.If Quebecers are looking for a voice of reason during this crisis, they aren’t going to find it in Quebec City — especially when Premier Bourassa is at home.When the next election rolls around, I wonder how far back Quebecers’ political memories will stretch.We musn’t forget.For Indians and all Quebecers, history and its mistakes have a remarkable tendency to repeat themselves.RITA LEGAULT Quebec nationalism target of humor By Ingrid Abramovitch MONTREAL CT’i In the latest Rock et-belles-oreilles comedy revue, nothing is safe or sacred least of all Quebec nationalism.I checked the map.'' says one of the characters, a skinny die-hard plastered with fleur-de-lis patches and buttons, a thin white beard fanning out along his chin.Quebec takes up 14 inches.All those American status are just an inch each!” With that kind of geographical clout for Quebec, this nationalist figures, those American states like.urn.Indiana Jones Kentucky Fried Chicken.Hawaii Five h will soon HAVE to speak French.“By March of 1992,” he concludes with gusto after a series of absurd mathematical calculations, “the whole world will be speaking French!

E-word has Tory leadership hopefuls in Nova Scotia walking a tightrope.The word is ethics, and it represents one of the trickiest issues in the race to succeed John Buchanan as party leader and premier.Buchanan left the job vacant Sept.12 when he abruptly quit and accepted an appointment to the Senate.Two schools of thought are emerging on how to approach the campaign to take over a government that's under RCMP investigation.Should candidates promise to clean up the mess left by Buchanan — and at least implicitly tarnish the name of one of the most successful Conservatives in Nova Scotia history?Or do they brush aside the issue of ethics — and send a signal to voters that nothing is going to change?Don Naulis, a professor of political science at St.Mary’s University, suggests it may be politically unwise to complain about patronage to people who are often its beneficiaries.N.S.CULTURE’ "The political culture in Nova Scotia revolves around and generally accepts that type of patronage politics,” says Naulis.“The political culture here focuses much more on ‘What can I get for my community, what can I get for my street, can I get a new wharf, can I get this, can I get that?’.There’s a general climate of ‘Well, that’s the way things are.’” But the new Conservative leader must face a cynical, scandal-weary electorate by 1993 at the latest, and many believe he or she will at least have to appear interested in changing Nova Scotia politics.Buchanan’s final years in power were marked by scandal that peaked last June with an appearance at a legislature committee by Michael Za-reski, a former deputy minister of government services.Zareski, who administered the department for five years, accused Buchanan of accepting kickbacks, tampering with the government tendering process to direct work to his friends, and running a widespread patronage network.POLICE MATTER Buchanan has denied the allegations.But after a month-long review, the RCMP decided there was enough evidence to warrant a full criminal investigation, though police won't say whether the former premier is at the focus of their inquiry.The investigation is expected to take at least a year and will provide a compelling backdrop to the leadership convention.Jim Meek, a political columnist for the Halifax Chronicle-Herald, says the Tories cannot avoid the ethics issue, even at the price of sullying Buchanan's name.“In a sense, you’re sort of tarnis- hing your own image within the party .when vou attack Buchanan.” says Meek."But 1 don’t think anyone could possibly run a credible campaign, for not only the leader’s job but the premier's job, without going after the ethics issue.” So far, Zareski is the only one who has declared an intention to seek the leadership post — even though he's not yet a member of the party.He says he’ll base his campaign on a clean-government platform.RECORDS SCRATCHED For other contenders, Buchanan’s legacy is only part of the problem.Most would-be candidates within the cabinet have their own closeted skeletons.Attorney General Tom Mclnnis.widely considered the frontrunner, was highways minister when the Tories came to power and presided over some political firings.Small Business Minister Ken Streatch was part of a controversy involving the provincial farm-loan board and a neighbor’s larm.The minister’s family ended up with a piece of the farm.LONG HISTORY "These guys have all got a long history,” says Meek, “and there aren’t too many of them who would be seen to be completely clean if you went through the file.” An exception is Industry Minister Don Cameron.But his problems may be with the party and not the electorate.Cameron publicly disagreed with Buchanan a few months ago over the free-spending ways of Donald Smith, Nova Scotia’s agent general in London.Smith — known as Porky to his friends, Buchanan among them — worked tirelessly for the party in opposition during the 1970s, and Cameron's criticism didn't go unnoticed.Tourism Minister Roland Thornhill, third to Buchanan when he became paAy leader in 1971, is under investigation by the Mounties for a $100,000 debt-writeoff deal he made with four banks in the 1970s.Government Services Minister Terry Donahoe got into trouble as attorney general for trying to clear Thornhill’s name.Donahoe tabled a letter in the legislature from a former Mountie exonerating Thornhill, but later admitted he wrote it himself.Naulis says Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s performance in the 1984 federal election debate taught politicians a valuable lesson about criticizing patronage.Mulroney tore into John Turner, then Liberal leader, for a series of appointments made during Turner’s short stint as prime minister.Ever since, Mulroney has been making his own blatant patronage appointments— including naming loyal Tory John Buchanan to the Senate.SMALL lan including 111 recommendations will he tabled in mid-December, new Environment Minister Robert de Cotrot said Thursday, and will nol li kely include a so-called green tax.Such a tax was being considered as a way to discourage the use of pollutants such as fossil fuels.The government also plans to take another crack at a national day-care program similar to the scheme that died when Parliament was dissolved in 1988, said one official.I’he $6.4-billion plan would have doubled the number of child care Sjtots to 400,00(1 by 1995 and provided tax benefits for families with young children.But none oi this will he done without convincing Canadians that the government has the money to do it."This government won't concen-tiate on the soft tuzzios without focusing on the economics,” one senior strategist said."How do we run the economy better?How do we reduce the deficit?How do you dampen the R (recession) word." Privatization will continue, beginning with the sale of Petro-Canada, he said.A bill to revamp financial insti tutions will also he introduced soon with the aim of loosening restrictions on banking.( anada will soon take an active role in pending tree-trade talks between Mexico and the United States.I The RECORD—Friday, September 21, 1990—5 Covered bridges: Vestiges of days gone by The IS6H bridge over the Eaton River in Cooksltire.It is a typical example of a bridge in the Town design.- 1 ¦ibr-’v» This is a Kingpost-style bridge on the Massawippi, near .North Hatley.By Réal Hébert Old wooden covered bridges, scattered on the secondary roads of the Eastern Townships, form part of the relics of our past that are there to be discovered and appreciated by those who love the beauties of yesteryear.The first covered bridge was built in 1805 in Philadelphia.By the turn of the twentieth century, there were more than a thousand such bridges in Quebec alone.Now there remain just a hundred or so, 17 of w'hieh are in the Eastern Townships.The ones that remain are between 52 and 145 years old, and were baptized by the Minister of Colonization, whose job included opening roads in a new land.The cost of construction then was less than a thousand dollars for a covered bridge 100 feet long.Contrary to what we might think, covered bridges were constructed for essentially practical reasons.They were given a roof to prevent the support wood from rotting as a result of sun, rain, and snow accumulation.Even so, snow had to be spread on the wooden floor of the bridge so horse-drawn sleighs could pass.The bridges that remain in the Towmships are of three different types.There are 13 bridges of the ‘Town" style, three “Kingpost.” and one “Howe." SIMPLE PLANS Ethiel Town was a well-know n American engineer in New England.His very simple bridge-building system featured a design plan that served for models of any length.His design wras simple to assemble, and only required wood in the available dimensions of the day.Lateral frames, gridded in a diamond shape, were protected by a casing of boards.This created a framework solid enough for a long entrance.The floor assembly, made of thick wooden beams, was also of the simplest design.Covered bridges inspired many local legends that live on to this day.There are said to be haunted bridges, where women w'ould go only in the day because they believed that on certain nights the bridges were visited by phantom knights — or more likely rowdy men.They say that in the regions of Scotstown.Stornoway, Nantes and La Patrie, several bridges served as a temporary hiding place for Donald Morrison, the famed Megantic Outlaw who hid from the army and police for nearly a year.There were bridges of tragedy and mystery, like the one that used to pass over the Arnold River in Woburn.HIDDEN TREASURE People tell the story of a man who hung himself in St-lsidore d’Auc-kland years ago on the bridge over the Eaton river.According to rumors, the workers who built the bridge hid a metal box full of silver in one of the bridge’s stone pillars.Many curious explorers have secretly searched for the box but no one ever found anything.The hundreds of initials carved with hearts and arrows attest to the numerous ‘kissing bridges’, secret refuges of generations of young Townshippers.Covered bridges played another role.The makers of food products, household products, and tobacco used to publicize their products by hanging posters on the walls and entrance of the bridges.Some bridges hosted public auctions and even political assemblies.Our kissing bridges, as they’re called in New England, now' harbor neither phantom nor bandit.They remain moving vestiges of days gone by; they add a charm to the natural beauty of our countryside.Consult the table below for a quick guide as to their location, history and style.Here's a Howe bridge, built in ISS4.It's located in Notre-Dame de Stanbridge on the Pike River.PHOTOS BY RÉAL HÉBERT The Kingpost-style bridge in Eaton Corner, built in IHHft * ¦" The most recently-built of the Townships' covered bridges is one oj the Adamsville bridges over the Yamaska, constructed in 1938.Town River Built In Style Length *Adamsville .Yamaska 1932 Town 27 m *Adamsville .Yamaska 1938 Town 32 m Capelton .Massawippi 1870 Town 35 m Compton .Coaticook 1914 Kingpost 30 m Cookshire .Eaton 1868 Town 40.5 m *Cowansville .Yamaska 1870 Town 29 m *Eaton Corner .North Eaton 1886 Kingpost 34 m *Eustis (North Hatley).Massawippi 1914 Kingpost 27.4 m Fitch Bay .Fitch Bay 1881 Town 28 m Gould .Salmon River 1893 Town 63 m Mansonville Mud Creek 1896 Town 31 m *Milby .Moe 1909 Town 24 m *N.D.-de-Stanbridge.Pike 1884 Howe 41.5 m *St-Armand Groat Creek 1845 Town 15 m *St-Camille .Nicolet Centre 1933 Town 19.8 m *Sawyerville .Eaton 1930 Town 29.5 m ?Valcourt .Brandy 1888 Town 14 m ^Bridge still in service.Gould’s covered bridge over Salmon River is the longest of its kind in the Townships: double-spanned at 63 m The oldest surviving covered bridge in the Townships is also one of the shortest: the 1845 bridge in notre- Dame This looks like the ideal kissing bridge.It’s in Milby, and was built in 1909 de Stanbridge.1 sharp turn on to ’ < < l,,/' < 0,, r 'f,i \amaska River This one, built in 1870, crosses the Massawippi River at Capelton.This is the 1881 bridge in Pitch Hay 6—The REC ORD Friday.September 21, 1990 Living #¦___gyj ttccora Child abuse permeates our society By Rosemary Sullivan One of the way change happens is more and more people become aware of the need to change.This seems to he what is presently happening in the slow process of healing childhood sexual abuse.More often we hear the stores on the radio, or read reports in the newspapers.Presently the Canadian report done by Rix Rogers for National Health and Welfare is being studied across Canada.The facts are coming into popular understanding: 80 percent of young offenders in custody were sexually abused as children : 30 to 40 percent of the current sexual abuse of ehil dren is being perpetrated by adolescent boys.(males, age 12and under) who themselves have been abused; and at least one out of three women have been sexually abused as a child the statistics tor men are only slowly emerging.This wound is not just a 'personal one." By that l mean it isn't something private, secret, or an aberration that people need to hide because of the shame This wound belongs to our society and is connected to the violence in families, in business, between cultures and nation states It is about power-over, using dominance to get one’s needs met.It perpetrates evey aspect of our life in present day society.Every aspect of society will have to become conscious of their part in the problem and how they can be part of the solution.We have more and more resources to help us.Here are some Montreal phone numbers for adult survivors of

helpful and supportive to the healing process.It is also very difficult and demanding.The most important element in healing is support.Women and men who have been abused as children need all the support they can get to break out of the silence and break the pattern of denial.The kind of support we need is to know there are people we can trust that will not abuse us again, will not deny our reality, no matter how confused or “off the wall” it may sound.Discovering the pieces of our lost selves means going through periods of confusion and chaos.It makes the work totally chaotic for a child to have a trusted adult do things to us and with us which were not appropriate, abusive and terrorizing.In order to heal we all need trust.To even begin experiencing “trust” is a huge step and cannot be done on anyone else’s schedule.It is our trust in ourselves and our world that was shattered in childhood.It is this trust which is re-woven slowly and gently through supportive self-help groups, individual and group therapy.This is the challenge to society now, to provide resources to support this healing process, to enable those whose authentic power and voice have been stolen.Once again this year, we are offering residential weekend workshops to introduce survivors to the healing process.November 9-11 will be the first weekend offered for men.I will be co-facilitating with

similar strain.Research prepared for the federal government by Nicole Marcil-Gratton.a University of Montreal demographer, shows that about 45 per cent of children born between 1975 and 1977 will see their parents separate by the time they reach 20.By age 10.more than half of children born in the 1970s whose parents were separated saw their mothers enter into a new marital or common-law relationship.One in 10 children born between 1971 and 1973 experienced singleparent family life twice, and so-called blended families three times, bv the age of 10.RAPID CHANGE Children have rarely faced such profound and rapid change, Mar-cil-Gratton said.T think children are worried nowadays, even children from intact homes,” she said.”As soon as the tone is raised in the family (they askr Are you going to separate?’” Some experts say talk of a damaged generation is exaggerated.‘That attitude comes from an earlier era when few people divorced, and those who did were subject to all kinds of moral and religious condemnation,” said Toronto psychologist Paula Caplan, a divorced mother of two.Some of the social stigma is gone: children discuss openly which parent they will be staying with for the weekend, she said.But other mental health professionals say more needs to be done to protect children from lasting harm.“Yes, I worry about a damaged generation,” said Amy Rossiter.an assistant professor of social work at Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ont.“Not specifically because of the attributes of divorce, but because of what happens all the way along the line.” DIVORCE EASIER No-fault divorce for parents, the main thrust of Canada's 1985 Divorce Act, does not mean no-pain divorce for children, say psychologists, social workers and family counsellors.At the Hincks Treatment Centre for troubled children, for example.70 per cent of patients come from homes in which the parents have split up.All children, or virtually all.suf- fer if their parents’ marriage breaks up, Martin said.Their feelings are often manifested by anger.health problems or poor school work.If the transition to a new situation is peaceful, sympathetic and involves both parents, children can recover, experts say.Still, the scars never quite heal.Brent Millward's parents split up when he was 10.and at age 15 he dropped out of school for three years.“Maybe 1 felt that 1 was rebelling against myself because I thought it was my fault that they split up,” said Millward, now 23, and a community college student in Toronto.“I’m still angry,” said a 27-year-old Toronto radio journalist whose parents separated when he was 18."You lose faith in all sorts of things: the family, your religion, your own future.’ With less children, Canada is going baby bust By Bob Cox OTTAWA (CRi — If you think it’s quieter in your neighborhood, with less noise from the playground across the street and no babies crying next door, you could he right.Children are making up less and less of the Canadian population, a new Statistics Canada study says.At the start of the 1970s.three of every 10 Canadians were 14 or younger.Now.two of every 10 residents are children and the percentage is falling, the statistics agency says in its report, A Portrait of Children in Canada.It notes that the 5.4 million Canadian tots lead much different lives than their parents did when they were young.For some children, the new realities are stark life with a single parent, poverty and the threat of aids Forothers.childhood in the 1990s is a more pleasant existence with video recorders, higher family incomes and lower death rates.Three of every four children live in homes with a video recorder, but they’re spending less time watching TV — 20 hours in 1988.Most children are healthy, well-fed and living in comfortable homes, but the number living in poverty continues to creep up.FACE POVERTY By 1988.about 836,000 children— 15.7 per cent — were living in what are classified as low-income families.Most of the poor children live with a single parent — 65 per cent of children in such families have a parent, usually a woman, who makes less than $20,000 per year.A third of single-parent children live with mothers who aren’t employed.Also, the income gap bewteen husband-wife families and single parents is growing.In the 1980s, the median income for husband-wife families with children rose 5.9 per cent in real terms compared with a 2.4 per cent drop for lone-parent families.By 1988, the median income ot two-parent families was $45,042, three times as much as the median $14.912 earned by single parents.About 13 per cent of children — 700,000— live with just one parent compared with nine per cent in single-parent homes a decade ago.Roughly 2.6 per cent of children, about 130,000, live with a single parent, almost always their mother, who has never been married.BETTER HEALTH Medical advances have given children a better chance of reaching adulthood.Death rates, especially for newborn babies, fell throughout the 1980s.But youngsters face a new.terrifying disease their parents never knew — AIDS has infected 54 children, half of them less than a year old.Of the 54 victims, 34 have died.The Statistics Canada report says many more children are spending part of their early years in day care.The number of licenced day-care spaces has increased to about 300.000.10 times as many as in 1973.Most children are getting their education in the publicly funded school system — just six per cent attend schools outside the system — and second-language training is an important part of their studies.More than 1.9 million elementary and secondary students outside Quebec study French.That’s more than half of such students.About 147.000 students outside Quebec are enrolled in French immersion programs which virtually did not exist 20 years ago.Inside Quebec, enrolment in English schools has decreased steadily, dropping 57 per cent in the past 20 years, to 106,000 students from 249.000.OTTAWA —Friday, September 21.l»W-7 Farm and Business flecoril Recent court cases regarding financing Tax Non-interest bearing shareholder's loan A decision rendered in the Tax Court of Canada in the case of D Scott v.M.N.R.(1989) 1 C.T.C 2305, which does not appear to have been appealed, could result in changing shareholder finan cing of corporations.The Facts The taxpayer subscribed for common shares in a corporation incorporated to acquire and ope rate a franchise.Because this was start-up venture, the shareholders were unable to obtain 100 percent of the hank financing required and the taxpayer and the other shareholders decided to put their own equity into the company by way of a non-interest bearing shareholder's loan.The taxpayer borrowed funds for this purpose and claimed deductions in respect of interest.Revenue Canada disallowed the deductions arguing that the interest was not paid in respect of borowed money used for the purpose of gaining or producing income from a business or property pursuant to paragraph 20(1) (Oof the Income Tax Act The Decision The taxpayer alleged that he had borrowed the money to permit the company to acquire and operate the franchise, which provided a source of income since the operating profits earned by the company could result in dividends being declared on the common shares.The Tax Court of Canada considered that the company was not his personal business and that it was a distinct legal entity such that he could not allege having borrowed for the purposes of earning income on a non-interest bearing loan.Any di vidends on the shares would come from completely separate property than that for which the taxpayer made the loan.In short, the Court refused to consider that the loan was made for the pur pose of earning income on the shares since the borrowed funds were used to make a non-intgerest bearing loan.The taxpayer also referred to Interpretation Bulletin IT-445 which, in certain circumstances, allows a shareholder to deduct interest on money borrowed and loaned out to his corporation by way of a non-interest bearing loan.This Bulletin specifies the following conditions: — the proceeds of the loan are used by the corporation in its own operations to produce in come from business or property; the corporation has made eve ry effort to borrow the necessary funds through the usual commercial money markets but cannot obtain financing.talks without the gurantee of the shareholder, at interest rates at which the shareholder could borrow, and — the loan from the shareholder to the corporation at less than a reasonable rate of interest (or at no interest) does not result in any undue tax advantage being conferred on either the shareholder or the corporation.The Court considered that, while the conditions of paragraphs (a) and (b) were fulfilled, that of paragraphic) had not been and the deduction of the interest had provided a distinct tax advantage since the taxpayer’s regular income tax liability w'as materially reduced.Although there was a tax disadvantage to the corporation, by virtue of the lack of the interest expense as a deduction, the Bulletin does not appear to make allowance for any such set-off.In closing, the Court stated that it was not for it to enlarge on the operative words of the Act in paragraph 20(1) (c).Comments This decision serves to add to the problem of deducting interest following the decision rendered in the Bronfman Trust case.Given the contents of its Interpretation Bulletin, it is surprising the Revenue Canada, Taxation has disallowed and objected to the deduction of the interest.We do not believe that this situation caused an undue tax advantage which warranted a departure from the bulletin.In fact, this situation is intrinsic to Revenue Canada, Taxation’s administrative position which allows the deduction of interest paid in respect of funds borrowed to make a non-interest bearing loan.Although Revenue Canada.Taxation’s position in this matter is astonishing, the Tax Court of Canada's decision is not so surprising, considering the provi sions of paragraph 20(1) (c).Unless Revenue Canada, Taxation clarifies its position, in the future, it may be preferable for shareholders who wish to finance their corporation to issue common shares or non-cumulative voting preferred shares a higher return than the interest paid on the borrowed money.Otherwise, the loan to the corporation must bear a higher rate of interest than the personal loan.John Pankert, ca Tax Department RAYMOND, CHABOT, MARTIN, PARK chartered accountants BCE going after the Mexican phone system By Penny MacRae MONTREAL (CP) — As part of its new push to expand its international telecommunications busi ness, BCE Inc.says it is going after a slice of Mexico’s about-to-be privatized telephone system BCE said Wednesday that i( could pay up to $400 million for a stake in the Mexican telephone company, whose market value is pegged at between $7 billion and $8 billion.The Mexican government is looking for a telecommunications company to invest and to help over see the modernization and expan sion of the telephone system.BCE says.The government is expected to make its choice of a foreign partner by the end of the year.Under the Mexican government’s plan, 80 per cent of the tc lephone company would be in the hands of Mexican shareholders.Control would be vested in the remaining 20 per-cent share block that would be majorityowned by a Mexican management company.The minority stake of the control block would be "offered to a large operating telephone company to come and support both the present managementandexpansion." said Raymond Cyr.chief executive offi cer of BCE.BCE sees lucrative potential in helping modernize the telephone system in Mexico which hasK.3 mil lion inhabitants.“This is big money, this is a lug company," said Cyr FIND PARTNER B< ’E envisions teaming up with a U S.telephone company partner and would eventually hold five per cent of TelMex.as the Mexican telephone company is called.But BCE would play the key management role in helping improve service in Mexico.A deal could mean more business for Northern Telecom, BCE’s manufacturing subsidiary, which would likely provide some of the equipment.Discussions are under way with several potential U.S.partners which BCE has not identified.Cyr said that BCE faces a mini ber of possible competitors in its planned bid.“The bidders have to qualify as having a large operating company in their midst,” said Cyr.“There are about 14 potential investors that have this kind of characteristic worldwide,” including British Telecom.But Cyr said he is optimistic that BCE's track record in helping modernize Saudia Arabia’s telephone system will impress the Mexicans.“It enhances our reputation to have achieved a very difficult assignment." Cyr said.“That could play at the end of the day over who is accepted in Mexico." BCE already has a presence in Mexico.Its mobile phone subsidiary recently won two cellular licences in Mexico.After an ambitious diversification drive during the 1980s, BCE has been recently spinning off its non-core assets to focus again on telecommunications which generate three-quarters of its profits.Because of regulatory restrictions at home, Cyr has said much of BCE’s growth will have to come from abroad.As part of its international thrust, it is seeking to set up a second telephone network in New Zealand.Lennoxville's newest store will help its custommers every step of the way.Efficient See sells computers, and beyond By Jean Potvin LENNOXVILLE — There are dozens of “complete" computer stores in the Eastern Townships and elsew here.Only one.however, sells computers with a concept.Efficent See is not your average computer store.There are no fancy neons in the windows, no colourful ’"SPECIAL" signs tagged on the merchandise, no fast talking salesmen.Instead, this rusticlooking store on Lennoxville’s busy Queen Street dispenses technical support services with their wares.THREE PARTNERS The venture is a three-way partnership made up of Lennoxville locals Christopher Enright.Peter Asswad and Martin Giroux.Enright looks after the technical aspect of the business, while Giroux is the programmer.Asswad takes care of the sales, marketing and administration."Em the business side,” he said in an interview Wednesday afternoon.Before opening the store last August 20, Enright was working out of the basement of his house, but there came a time when he had to either expand or quit.“It came to the point where the business would either fold, or go into a storefront and to the public," he said.Enright is a Bishop’s University graduate in Natural Sciences with a major in Computer Science.TOTAL SERVICE Efficient See’s concept lies in its’ all-around service.Enright said that while most computer stores ' have salesmen who can sell really well or a technician can repair expertly, but they can't help you very much with exactly what to do." ‘‘We’re a full service store,” said Enright, “We present a computer as a tool.We’re trying to make computers as easy as possible, to humanize them." The store tries to build a one to one relationship with it’s customers.“We re a company dealing with people,” he said.He and his partners are not only-trying to humanize computers, but they want to push it a step further.This step is to make users comfortable and fluent with computers so they can devote less time to mental tasks.“We re looking at computers to bring everything a step further, to eliminate the redundant stuff, use less time for menial tasks." he said.“A computer is a tool, just like a hammer or a fork, he said.But while most people do not fear or resent using a fork or a hammer, they do when it comes to compute rs because of computer-illiteracy.LESS WASTE He said when people are fluent enough in computers, they can better themselves and shift all their attention to what they are creating instead of worrying about operations and functions.Since technical support for achieving efficiency requires dependable equipment.Enright and his partners build the computers with the best components available.“We buy the best of everything.we know who makes good stuff." he said.By building computer systems with the best video screens, the best software programs and top-of-the-line disk drives.Efficient Sec not only offers a quality product at competitive prices, but also eliminates service calls.“When my customers come in.they never have to come back for service (breakdown) calls.'’ said Enright.GST RECORDER Technical support and quality products are just the tip of the iceberg.Efficient See can also design programs tor specific tasks, and thev ovr>n eamp un with a bilingual program capable of keeping track of inventories, calculating the provincial and federal GST.and can work in tandem with a wide range of cash registers."The perpetual inventory system is a computer that links with a cash register.It takes care oi inventory, GST's, and so on." The company will also repair hardware units and software programs.Added tothese services is a desktop publishing center with a postcript laser printer that Efficiency rents for $15 an hour.There's one last bonus — “In order to become a member, you buy a (computer related) book, bring it in and have access to all the other books.” Enright said.They presently have about 130 books in their collection as well as several maga zincs.\ m Lennoxville locals Peter Asswad (left), Chris Enright and Martin Giroux don't just sell computers.They provide their custommers with a system enabling people to expand their horizons.High rates and heavy buck spell trade troubles By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) — High interest rates and the lofty dollar have hamstrung exporters and the outlook for Canadian trade remains bleak, the Conference Board of Canada said today.Canada, where one in three jobs hinges on trade, is finding it tough to compete on foreign markets despite continuing healthy growth in world commerce, the Conference Board said.“Contrary to the trends in world trade, Canadian trade projections are not good,” the Ottawa-based economic think-tank said in its 1990-91 world trade outlook.“It is particularly grim in 1990.when exports will post virtually no growth." While international commerce soared over $3 trillion US last year, growth in Canadian trade has virtually stalled.The board put the blame on the Bank of Canada’s policy of using high interest rates to fight inflation.That policy has a side effect of pushing up the value of the Canadian dollar, making goods with a Made-in-Canada label more expensive for foreigners.The Canadian dollar peaked at more than 88 cents US this spring — a 12-year high — and continues to trade at more than 86 cents US.“Canada's high interest rates and appreciated dollar, combined with a sluggish U.S.economy.will continue to inhibit Cana- da’s export growth over the forecast period.” On Tuesday, Statistics Canada reported that the merchandise trade surplus dipped to $1.2 billion in July from $1.8 billion in June as exports of industrial goods, nickel and auto parts declined.Exports fell by $229 million from June to total $12.5 billion.Imports were up by $382 million to $11.3 billion as the Canadian auto industry bought more auto parts.Meanwhile, Statistics Canada reported today that manufacturing plants were only using 79.7 per cent of their capacity in the second quarter of this year — April, May and June.That’s the lowest level since early 1984 and a continuation of a steady drop that began in early 1988.On Wednesday, Statistics Canada said Canada may already be in a recession — a six-month period where the economy shrinks instead of growing — beginning in the second quarter.The Conference Board said the economic downturn in Canada, with the United States expected to follow, will only make matters worse.“The sombre picture of Canadian trade prospects in the near future is strongly affected by decelerating economic growth in Canada and internationally, par ticularly in the United States, our largest trading partner.’ Business briefs A banknote shortage?NEW YORK (AP) — Developer Donald J.Trump is seeking a delay in loan payments due to bankers on the Trump Shuttle airline, a published report said Thursday.The reported request comes less than a month after the beleaguered real estate-gambling entrepreneur concluded a $65 million US bank bailout critical to keeping his empire afloat.The Wall Street Journal said Trump and two aides met Wednesday with officials from Citibank, asking the bank to restructure $245 million in debt payments still due on the shuttle, which provides service on the Boston-New York-Washington corridor.The story said Trump argued that soaring fuel costs and a soft Northeast eco nomy have made the airline unprofitable.The story said that while Trump probably will be able to meet a forthcoming $1.1 million interest payment, he is not expected to be able to keep up w ith payments of about $30 million due in the next 12 months.WASHINGTON (AP) — The United States House Senate conference committee working on the 1990 farm bill set acreage reduction for wheat at 15 per cent this crop year as its first action toward melding the bills each body approved this summer.The vote came Wednesday at the urging of the Agriculture Department, w hich must advise farmers planting winter wheat on the requirements they must follow to parti eipate in the government's subsidy programs.It followed an exchange of for malities between the chairmen of the House and Senate agriculture committees designed to set a tone of agreeability as the committee plunges into 3,000 pages of legislation that sets farm policy for the next five years.Under the acreage reduction provision, farmers will have to idle 15 per cent of their acreage for this year only.Reduction in subsequent years covered by the farm bill will be decided later in the conference.BONN (AFP) — Some 40 West German businesses have asked the Bonn government to compensate them for lost export earnings as a result of the international embargo against Iraq, a Munich newspaper said Thursday.The companies said they faced losses in earnings of up to three million Deutschmarks ($1.8million dollars), and half were threatened with closure, the Sueddeutsche Zeitung quoted an economy ministry spokesman as saying.Career MONTREAL (CP) — A potential strike by unionized workers at the Bank of Canada's Montreal office next week is already causing headaches for bankers in the city.They meet here Thursday to discuss w hat to do if such an unprecedented event should occur.The Bank of Canada office in the city distributes almost $13 million in bank notes to chartered banks, credit unions and other financial institutions in Quebec every week.This paper money goes to replace old bills which have become worn out.The bankers say most bills from $2 to $20 in value last only a few months because they change hands so quickly.If the Montreal olliee closes, local institutions will have to get their new money from Bank of Canada centres in Toronto or Ottawa.But that will slow' down the supply to a certain degree, say the ban- kers.“We will try to maintain services as close to normal as possible.” said Guy Theriault, undersecretary for the Bank of Canada in Ottawa.The 126-member union was organized in Quebec in 1988 and is still trying to negotiate its first contract.None of the other 2,300 employees of the central bank across the country is unionized.ANNUITIES & RRIPs All reliremenl options explained.NO cost or obligation.Also RRSFs and LIFE INSURANCE.EDDY ECHENBERG

A Renovation project nears completion for Unitarian Universalists Members of the Women’s Alliance of the Unitarian Univer-salist Church uf North Hatley recently celebrated over dinner the near completion of the 2nd Century Building Renovation Project.Begun in 1988.the project included raising and lowering the entire building to create a new foundation and a useable lower level space under the original church built in 1895.A generous gift from the Women's Alliance financed the application of vinyl siding to the exterior.This women’s group has often financed repair and maintenance of the church and parsonage through their fund raising efforts.They have held luncheons and bazaars, food and craft sales, and particularly through their unique gift shop located in the church hall have raised money.Over the past thirty-plus years this small group of women with creative effort and hard work have helped the congregation to thrive and survive.Current members of the Women's Alliance are: Margaret Stoddard.Frances Lebaron, Elsie Brodeur, Irma Woodard, Etta Russell, Nancy Pacaud and Jane Webster.This building renovation project not only replaced a crumbling foundation for our building, but provided a safe attractive space for our Children’s Religious Education Program, much needed storage space, and an additional meeting room, to be known as Stoddard Hall, in honor of A1 and Margaret Stoddard, long time stalwart members of our congregation.Many people, members and friends, came together to make this project possible.Through their generous donations of money, ideas and energy we have been able to bring the project to near completion.Still needed to complete the project is furnishings and equipment for Stoddard Hall and the Children’s Room In addition, since most of the shrubbery, etc.was necessarily destroyed when the foundation was replaced, a landscaping renovation project is in the process of being organized for implementation in the near future.Our gratitude goes to Keith Baxter and his Building Committee: Helen McCammon.Nancy Pacaud, Lin Jensen and Frances MacKeen, who, among others, guided us through the maze of choices and determinations of the renovation process.* * * We are pleased to announce that the Rev.Elizabeth Espenshade returned for her second year at North Hatley on September 2,1990.She is also with us on September 16, October 14 and 28, and for our closing service for this year, November 11.Dr.Gordon Edwards, well-known anti-nuclear activist, will be our guest speaker on September 23.His talk will be followed by a pot-luck lunch at the church.Deane Starr, of the New Hampshire-Vermont District, will be the guest speaker on September 30.All services begin at 10:30 a.m.There is a children’s program.Everyone is welcome.Here is the church before the renovations T;-— l.eft to right, Etta Russell, Elsie Brodeur, Nancy Pacaud, Joyce Booth, Irma Woodard, Margaret Stoddard and Frances Lebaron.Stanstead Chapter IODE Bazaar ROCK ISLAND tIH) -Stanstead Chapter IODE Bazaar will be taking place on Saturday, September 29 in Sunnyside School, here.The doors will open at 2 until 4:30 p.m.Several beautiful gifts have been donated to the Chapter that will be displayed and given away at 4:30 p.m.There will be several sale tables to include a Christmas table, always a favorite for several items make lovely gifts ;

Declarer played in straightforward fashion, drawing trumps and then depending upon the hearts to split to make the contract When they broke badly, he was down two after a losing club finesse South overlooked an easy play to give himself a significant extra chance.After winning dummy's spade ace.he should play a diamond back to his jack and a diamond to dummy s queen.If the defenders follow to both diamond leads, leaving only the trump 10 outstanding, another high spade can be cashed.South pitching a heart Now comes ace of hearts, and a low heart is ruffed with the diamond ace Declarer returns to dummy with the diamond king, drawing the last trump from West, and can now run the hearts, throwing away his four club losers and making the grand slam.1 have to confess that if I were

ever heard of a person’s stomach referred to as an “apron stomach”?Will exercise help my cause?DEAR READER:“Apron stomach” refers to a large deposit of fatty tissue on the abdominal wall.This fat can appear in an “apron distribution,” and it hangs down the front in large, unsightly rolls.Dieting to lose excess body weight will help, but exercises won’t because the fat lies under the skin and will not be affected by abdominal-muscle strengthening.Plastic surgery often produces the most dramatic cure.Specialists are usually adept at removing excess abdominal adipose tissue, as well as the rolls of skin that are left once the fat is gone.Try dieting first.If this fails, make an appointment with a plastic surgeon.To give you more information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Winning The Battle Of The Bulge.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 with their names and addresses to my attention at PO.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR GOTT: I have EBV, and I am interested in knowing LfcAhere are any doctors specializing in the disorder.Are there support groups that might provide such information?DEAR READER: Chronic Epstein-Barr virus infection (sometimes called chronic mononucleosis) was, in the past, believed to be a cause of chronic-fatigue syndrome, an affliction marked by periodic overwhelming exhaustion, swollen glands, loss of appetite and depression.However, recent studies have cast doubt on this association because many patients with chronic-fatigue syndrome have negative blood tests for EBV, and thousands of people who have had mononucleosis (and continue to have positive EBV blood tests) do not experience the syndrome Therefore, while your blood test may show previous infection with EBV, this may not be related to your present symptoms.The cause of chronic-fatigue syndrome is unknown, and no specific treatment is available for patients with it — whether or not they are EBV positive.I was interested to see a recent short segment on New York City’s Channel 5 nightly news, which described new work being done at one of the city's medical centers.The doctors studied a handful of chronic-fatigue patients and discovered that their sleep patterns were abnormal; they seemed to exhibit a form of sleep disorder, marked by exhaustion during the day, coupled with inadequate sleep at night.The patients improved on stimulant drugs.Of course, this report is merely preliminary.Before any broad recommendations are made regarding chronic-fatigue syndrome, the New York findings must be published and verified by other researchers.In specific answer to your question, there are EBV specialists in most large, teaching hospitals.In addition, you can obtain further information about support groups by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the National Epstein-Barr Virus Association at P.O.Box 230108, Portland, OR 97223.DEAR DR.GOTT: My 29-year-old daughter is two months pregnant and is recovering from a bad case of chicken pox.What can this do to her unborn child?Can a person get chicken pox more than once?IJEAR READER: Unfortunately, chicken pox, a common childhood disease, can cause serious problems in a pregnant woman because the pox virus can pass from the mother's body through the placenta and infect the unborn child, leading to severe fetal malformation This tragic situation is untreatable.This is why pregnant women must make every effort, if they haven’t had chicken pox, to avoid contact with infected individuals.Although the potential risk for your daughter is high, it is not a certainty.Perhaps she will be one of the lucky women whose baby will not suffer any consequences.In any case, she should carefully adhere to her obstetrician's advice about follow-up and further testing.I assume your daughter will need fetal ultrasound examinations (to monitor growth and development) as well as an amniocentesis, a method by which a specialist can analyze the fluid surrounding the baby before birth to determine the presence of congenital anomalies.A person with chicken pox is rendered permanently immune to the disease.However, in some patients, the virus apparently lies dormant for many years — causing no harm — only to re-surface sometime later as shingles, a common adult virus infection of the skin’s nerves.Again, pregnant women must avoid contact with people who have shingles because this infection, too, can cause fetal abnormalities.DEAR DR.GOTT: Why would a woman in her 40s lose control of her bladder at night, and what can be done to prevent this from happening again?DEAR READER: The answer to your question depends on how regularly the woman is incontinent.On rare occasions, normal adults may experience a single episode of incontinence, particularly if they are sound sleepers and have consumed a lot of fluid before going to bed.On the other hand, repeated bedwetting or chronic incontinence usually indicates a physical problem in the bladder or urinary tract.For example, urinary infection can lead to frequency and urgency at night.Also, some serious neurological disorders, such as multiple sclerosis, can lead to incontinence, if the nerves that normally control urination are affected by disease.Therefore, my advice to the woman in your question is: See a urologist if loss of bladder control recurs.To give you more information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Bladder.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 with their names and addresses to my attention at P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: My sister has had juvenile diabetes since the age of 7.She’s now 25.She has maintained a good weight and has regular checkups.A neighborhood nurse has given her a very negative outlook, quite different from the doctor’s.What is your prognosis?DEAR READER: If your sister continues to follow medical advice, watch her diet and take her insulin, I believe her prognosis is quite favorable.However, I don’t know your sister’s case, so I cannot comment on the nurse’s observation.In instances like this, where there may be a disagreement between the doctor and the nurse, you should turn to the doctor for clarification — or seek another physician’s opinion, preferably that of a diabetic specialist Your sister may be showing signs of diabetic complications, such as retinal disease or kidney damage, which would alter the favorable prognosis.Nonetheless, 1 believe her doctor is the best resource to explain the apparent discrepancy.Nurses are often uncanny in their assessments of patients health, but the ultimate responsibility and final word should be the doctor’s.Io give you further information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Diabetes Mellitus.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $1,25 with their names and addresses to my attention at P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH

Sports Thr RECORD—Friday.September 21, 1990—15 —____tel iGccurû Tennis Canada’s top tennis player ont TORONTO (CP) — Canada served a curveball to the Netherlands at the official draw Thursday for Davis Cup team tennis matches, which begin today.Chris Pridham of Oakville.Ont., No.152 in the Association of Tennis Professionals' world rankings and an unknown quantity to the Dutch, will replace Canada’s top player in world rankings — Andrew Szna-jder of Toronto, who is No.93 — in the best-of-five series to determine which country advances to the final World Group of 16 countries.Sznajder pulled out because of a hairline fracture of a bone in his right hand.Canada named Pridham and Grant Connell of North Vancouver, B.C., to play singles, and Connell and Glenn Michibata of Toronto to play doubles.In the draw, Pridham’s name was first out of the hat.He’ll open against Mark Koevermans, No.63 in the world.Connell, No.94, plays Paul Haarhuis, No.59, in the second singles match today.Connell and Michibata play Koevermans and Haarhuis in doubles Saturday.The reverse singles matches are Sunday.Canada has been in Davis Cup play for 78 years but has never qualified for the final round of 16.Sznajder injured his hand during practice Sunday.The decision on whether he could play was made Thursday by team captain Pierre Lamarche.“I knew Monday night that Andrew was hurt and that I might be playing here, so it’s not as if I’m unprepared,” said Pridham, a finalist at a tournament in Portugal last weekend.“The big advantage for me will be that they (the Dutch) don’t know who I am.“Pierre travelled around the world scouting them and we’ve got enough on them to write a book I’m really excited about playing.” MYSTERY ENTRY “The only thing I know about (Pridham) is that my coach told me he attacks a lot,” said Koevermans.“I’ll just have to play my own game because I have no idea what his strengths and weaknesses are.” Sznajder has been Canada's most successful player in Davis Cup competition, going 9-4 in singles in his career."I didn't want to risk my career,” he said of the decision to withdraw “There’s a bad bruise and if I rest it it’ll be healed in a week or two.” Although the two Dutchmen have superior world rankings, the playing surface favors the Canadians.Canada got its pick of site and surface because the last time the two countries met, in 1969.the matches were played in the Netherlands.The Dutch prefer the slower clay theatre, while the site of these matches at the National Tennis Centre at York University features a fast, acrylic court.Connell and Michibata are No.3 in the world in doubles, while Haar huis and Koevermans are ranked 20th.The matches will be the first in Davis Cup play in Toronto since 1958.Vancouver and Montreal have been the sites of recent previous Davis Cup matches.Golf Alberta is senior golfer’s heaven FREDERICTON (CP) — Rain or shine, Alberta proved for the third year in a row Thursday it has the best men’s senior golfers in Canada.With tournament-leading Bob Wylie of Calgary showing the way, Alberta shot 222 points under the sun at the nearby Mactaquac Provincial Park course on the opening day of the Canadian senior men’s championship on Wednesday, two points ahead of Ontario and Quebec.Then, on a rain-soaked Fredericton Golf Club course on Thursday, they held on to the lead to win the 36-hole teams portion of the tournament.The individual-play portion winds up today.Alberta and Ontario each scored 224 on Thursday, giving Alberta a final team score of 446 and Ontario a second-place 444.Quebec slipped to 227 to finish third, five shots back.Wylie's 74 on Thursday was two strokes off the day’s leading score, but he maintained the individual lead by virtue of his one-under-par 71 Wednesday.His Alberta teammates were all from Edmonton.Roy Millar had rounds of 75 and 79, Victor Swain 77 and 75 and Borden Woytkiw 76 and 75.Wylie wasn’t entirely happy with his play Thursday, but figured he will do better today.IT SCARES YOU’ “It really wasn’t a lot of fun out there today,” he said.“This Fredericton golf course has got a lot of little dips and hollows and, boy, when it’s wet, it scares you out there.“I didn’t make one single putt over two feet long the whole way around the golf course.But except for holes eight, nine and 10 — double bogey, bogey, bogey — I hit the ball pretty good.” Wylie said winning the team championship is the most important thing in the tournament.But he also was in good position to take home the individual championship for the fifth time in six years.His two-day score of 145 is one stroke ahead of Gino Paglietti of Toronto and Bryson Crowell of Dartmouth, N.S.Paglietti, a rookie to the senior ranks, was Ontario’s top player each day, shooting rounds of 74 and 72 respectively.He said Wylie is good, but not unbeatable.“If I can straighten out my drives a little bit, I might be able to shoot in the low 70s again or high 60s,” Paglietti said.Defending champion Dick Estey of Portland, Ore., and Manitoba’s Jim Doyle were tied for fourth in the individuals competition with 147s.Canadian Golf Hall of Fame member Doug Silverberg of Calgary and Claude Dufour of Verdun were next with 149 apiece.The field, which initially consisted 286 players aged 55 and over, has been pared down to the top 110 and ties for today’s final round of the 54-hole individual championship, to be played at the Fredericton course.Baseball Expo rookie hurler tosses one-hitter NEW YORK (AP) — Rookie Chris Nabholz pitched a one-hitter for his first major league shutout and Montreal beat New York 2-0 Thursday to complete a doubleheader sweep, dropping the slumping Mets 2V2 games behind first-place Pittsburgh in the National League East.In the opener, the Expos rallied for four runs in the eighth inning off Frank Viola and Mets relief ace John Franco to beat New York 6-4.The Expos have won six straight games and trail the Pirates by 4‘/2.Pittsburgh beat Chicago 11-2.Montreal swept the three-game series and New York has lost four straight at home after winning 11 in a row.The Mets.51-27 at Shea Stadium, have 13 games left but 10 are on the road at Chicago, Montreal and Pittsburgh.Pirates 11 Cubs 2 CHICAGO (AP) — Andy Van Slyke hit two home runs and drove in three runs and Barry Bonds hit a two-run homer, leading the first-place Pittsburgh Pirates to an 11-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Thursday.Coupled with New York’s 6-4 loss to Montreal in the first game of a doubleheader, Pittsburgh increased its lead over the Mets to two games in the National League East.The Expos were five games back.Van Slyke homered in the first inning off loser Randy Kramer (0-3) and hit a two-run shot, his 17th, off Mitch Williams in a three-run sixth.Van Slyke walked in his other three appearances.Giants 5 Braves 3 ATLANTA (AP) — Pinch-hitter Mike Laga hit a tie-breaking two-run homer in the sixth inning to give Eric Gunderson his first major league victory as the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 5-3 Thursday night.The victory was only the second in seven games for San Francisco, which began play in third place in the National League East, V/2 games behind division-leading Cincinnati.Laga, batting for Gunderson, hit his second home run of the season off John Smoltz (13-10) following a one-out single by Jose Uribe for a 4-2 lead.Rick Reuschel, recently off the disabled list, gave up a run and three hits in four innings for his first save since Oct.5, 1985, when he pitched for Pittsburgh.It was the fifth of his career.Gunderson (1-2) yielded two runs, two hits, walked three and struck out three in five innings before a crowd of only 3,790.He ran into a streak of wildness in the first inning, giving up all three walks and a single by Jim Presley.The third walk to Jeff Blauser forced in the Braves’ first run.Atlanta made it 2-0 in the second when Mark Lemke reached on shortstop Uribe’s error, was sacrificed to second and scored on Ron Gant's single.The Giants tied it in the fourth when Kevin Mitchell led off with a walk, took second on Ernest Riles’ single and scored on Steve Decker’s double Riles scored on a wild pitch.The Braves got a run off Reuschel in the sixth on singles by Blauser, Greg Olson and pinch-hitter Tommy Gregg.Curran tries to balance Cougs, textbooks and residence life Blue and white are Gordon Curran's official colors md don't you forget it.The soon-to-be 20-year-old Sutton Junction resident has been sporting two-colored paraphernalia items, such as jerseys, t-shirts, jackets, for five years.Curran’s first experience with a blue-and-white hockey sweater was back in 1985 when he was the manager for the Massey Vanier Vikings.For two seasons Gord — or Gordie better know n by the players — was responsible for the Vikings He majestically placed hockey sticks, water bottles and pucks around the dressing room for team members to find without a hassle.In his final year at Massey Vanier.coach Bob Kay promoted Gord from stick boy to right winger “I got the occasional shift,” he said reflecting back on his good old Massey Vanier days.“I played the bench,” he said.But for Gord Curran that was okay.“I really had a good time under Bob Kay,” he said.“He helped me out a lot.” LENNOXVILLE BOUND Upon completing his high school leaving diploma, Curran packed up and left the hamlet of Sutton Junction for Lennoxville — Home of the Champlain Cougars and another blue-and-white team.Before he even had the chance to lace up the skates, Curran knew he wouldn’t cut the high-flying Champlain Cougars, so he decided to do w hat he does best — manage.“I decided to be manager right off." he said in the official Cougar home, the WB Scott arena.“Because I didn't have the talent to play at the college level, 1 wanted to stay involved with hockey," he said.Curran is starting his third season behind the Champlain bench and knows the demands and needs of a college hockey team are different than his M VU Vikings.Curran has been facing more travelling hours on a cold refrigerator-like bus, longer practices, more games and a typically different hockey player.“Overall the players are good to me,” he said.“You get the occasional troublemaker but it doesn't amount to much.” Curran usually has the final say when someone gets out of hand.Just hand Gord a bucket and he'll take out anyone who dares to step out of line.“I pull the occasional practical joke,” he said with a smile.“I throw buckets of cold water at someone when they’re in the shower,” he said.Besides dousing some player with a cold water treatment, Curran uses his wit to calm down any hot-headed player.“I usually throw' out a oneliner at someone if they get out of hand or are too lippy,” Curran said.EXTRA RESPONSIBILITY With the responsibility of 20 or so hockey players on his shoulders, Gord Curran has taken on another task at Champlain.The Sutton Junction boy is responsible for the peace and tranquility at one of the Champlain Winder Street residences.Curran is a house advisor in the St-Laurent building.When he’s not at the arena or wrapped up with a text book, Curran can be found walking around the six-building residence complex on duty some nights.During his rounds, he checks to see if anything is going on that isn’t out of the ordinary or the typical student prank.“It’s not really a lot of work,” he said.“It’s mostly Wi^rny helmet on by Bruce Macfarlane 4! being there in case something happens or if someone just wants to talk,’’ he said.With hockey and student life taking up his time, Curran believes he can manage both as well as a text book or two.“I think it’s going to give less time to myself," he said.“Once I get into the routine, it should be okay.” A typical Gordon Curran day is early morning classes, an afternoon workout or homework then it’s hockey time.Curran spends anywhere between three to four hours a day in the WB Scott arena and sometime more on game days.Curran’s boss — or better yet the man he reports to — is Cougar head coach Rod McKell.McKell, who has seen many managers come and go through his office door, says Gordon Curran is his number one man.“Gord is a superb manager,” he said after a practice session.“He enjoys the game and has the feeling for people with good or bad attitudes and it makes Cliff (Goodwin — assistant coach) and my job a lot easier,” McKell said.“He controls the sticks and paperwork,” he said “If he leaves next year I don’t know what I’ll do, it’ll be harder to replace him than Patrice Tardif.” NHL BOUND Gord Curran says he plans to go onto university and after that knock on the doors of National Hockey League teams with a for sale sign pinned to chest.“I’d like to stay involved with hockey but at another position,” he said.“I don t have the background to become a coach but I’d like to be a scout, work in a marketing department or some executive job,” he said.If Gord Curran ends up working for an NHL hockey team, you can be sure the team's colors will be blue and white, /Iw blue-and-w'hites hockey manager hard at work before a Champlain hockey practice, xmoko/orant 1 E S

upholstery'’ A R DEAR A.R.— Washable upholstery fabrics may be shampooed at home, either with a commercial upholstery shampoo or with a simple homemade formula.If you buy a ready-to-use upholstery shampoo, follow the directions on the package.If’s you prefer to make your own, here's the procedure: First, brush or vacuum the furniture thoroughly to remove loose dirt and dust.Make a shampoo solution of 2 tablespoons soap flakes and 2 tablespoons ammonia dissolved in 1 quart hot water.Let the solution sit until it has turned into a jelly.Then whisk it or beat it with an egg beater until it becomes frothy.Test the solution on a hidden area first to make sure the fabric is washable and color-fast If the material is washable and colorfast.rub suds into the fabric working on a small area of material at a time.Still working on the same small area, scrape off the suds with a rubber or plastic spatula or similar type of scraper.Rinse the fabric by wiping with a cloth wrung out in clear warm water.Be careful not to soak the fabric.Just dampen it.Continue with the next small area, slightly overlapping the area that has already been cleaned.Continue suds- ing, scraping and rinsing the entire piece of furniture.Then dry the fabric with an electric fan or a blow-type hair dryer set on air only (no heat).The result should be a fresh, clean piece of furniture, giving your room a fresh

This is not as complicated as it sounds, since you actually don’t need to get all the amino acids in the same dish.They can be eaten during different parts of the meal or at different meals in the course of the day.Many classic non-meat dishes combine the right amino acid combina- come clean- tions and so provide complete protein.For example, beans and rice: Each separately contains incomplete protein, but together they provide a high-quality complete protein.Dairy products such as cheese or milk contain complete protein, so if your daughter will eat dairy products, adding a little cheese to any dish will improve its protein content.It’s important to eat a wide variety of foods.There are many excellent vegetarian cookbooks available that can give you additional advice and delicious recipes; check them out of your local library.I'm sending you a copy of my newsletter “Nutrition Boosters," which offers some more ideas for increasing the nutrition of foods including a recipe for Cornell Bread, a high-protein, increased-nutrition bread.Others who would like this issue should send $1.25 for each copy to POLLY’S POINTERS, in care of this newspa per, P.O.Box 93863, Cleveland.OH 44101-5863.Be sure to include the title.- POLLY DEAR POLLY -

MRS L J T DEAR POLLY - I've been making my own yogurt.When I use whole milk or 2 percent milk, it comes out fine, but when I use skim milk, the yogurt comes out watery.I'd like to make the kind of non-fat yogurt I can buy in the store.Is this possible?GAIL DEAR GAIL — You can make yogurt out of skim milk, but you need to fortify it with non-fat dry milk powder to produce a thick, non-watery yogurt.Try % cup instant non-fat dry milk powder dissolved in a quart of skim milk before heating the milk.The proportion of milk powder may be increased until the resulting yogurt is as thick and creamy as you like it.This adds body and milk solids, but no additional fat.I’m sending you a copy of my newsletter “Cooking with Yogurt,” which gives complete directions for making yogurt and yogurt cheese at home, as well as recipes for using yogurt in cooking to make such delicious dishes as linguine with yogurt cheese, grilled yogurt chicken, and yogurt bread.Others who would like a copy of this issue should send $1.25 for each copy to POLLY'S POINTERS, in care of this newspaper, P.O.Box 93863, Cleveland.OH 44101-5863.Be sure to include the title.— POLLY DEAR POLLY -
