By Jack Branswell MONTREAL (CP) — A long-awaited coroner's inquest into the shooting death of a provincial police officer during the Mohawk crisis may be adjourned before it even gets started The inquest, scheduled to begin today, will likely be preempted by the trial of three Mohawks who were arrested at the end of the 78-day armed standoff last summer Jacques Bellemare.a spo- kesman for the coroner, said the decision on whether or not to proceed will be taken today.Both sides in the trial will request that the inquest be put off because it could influence jurors.Owen Young, a lawyer representing the accused Mohawks, said that if the inquest goes ahead, “the prejudice to jurors could be phenomenal.“It s really a question of the right to a fair trial.” Crown prosecutor Pierre Teasdale agreed.The inquest should be halted “because we don't know what may be said during the inquest,” Teasdale said.“We don't want to jeopardize the trial.” Jury selection in the trial of Ronald (Lasagna) Cross, 33, Gordon (Noriega) Lazore.32.and Roger Lazore, 31.is to begin Oct.2.Young is also concerned that an inquest could serve as “a dress rehearsal on how to present Quebec’s side of the Oka crisis.” Teasdale wasn't sure how long an adjournment he will seek.He said it could only be until after the jury is selected The defence wants a longer delay.“We say it has to be stopped until the end of the trial." said Young.“I think it would be a mistake to push on with it.” Young is “fairly confident" that Coroner Guy Gilbert will postpone the inquest But if he doesn’t, defence lawyers have an injunction pending in Quebec Superior Court to stop it.Cpl.Marcel Lemay died July 11, 1990, during a Quebec provincial police raid on a Mohawk barricade.The roadblock protested plans by the town of Oka to expand a golf course onto land the Indians claimed.The raid touched off the armed standoff between police, the army and Mohawks.Civil servants to be forced back to work Sherbrooke9s new baby By Gord McIntosh The Canadian Press Ottawa is legislating its public servants back to work — despite a ruling from a regulatory panel which said Monday the government didn't bargain in full compliance with the law.In a day that began with a the board’s finding at all.It protest on Parliament Hill by more than 20,000 public servants, the government put forward legislation to outlaw strikes for two years by the Public Service Alliance of Canada and 13 other unions in the public service and extend the life of all outstanding collective agreements for the same period.But before the bill could be tabled in the Commons.Treasury Board president Gilles Loiselle was ordered to return to the bargaining table by the Public Service Staff Relations Board, a quasi-judicial body that oversees dealings between Ottawa and its employees.SURPRISE The minister said the board’s ruling came as a surprise, adding the government is willing to resume bargaining on anything but money.Alliance president Daryl Bean said the board, chaired by former NDP MP Ian Deans, had found Ottawa bargained in bad faith with its employees — something the union has been claiming since February.But Loiselle said that wasn’t simply said the government hadn't done enough to reach an agreement, he said.The tough medicine Ottawa announced for its employees in the Feb.26 budget — no pay raise this year and no more than three per cent in the following two years stands and so will the back to-work legislation that enforces it.Loiselle said.“I want it to be very clear that we are not moving from the 0-3." he said in the Commons.Monday’s leaders fear bill, which labor will set a pattern that could spread to the private sector, also extends wage res traints to the Armed Forces and the RCMP HUGE FINES The bill would impose a line of up to $100,000 a day against a union striking in defiance, up to $50.000 a day against union officers and up to $1.000 a day for individual members There is no provision lor jail terms in the legislation.Shirley Carr, president of the Canadian Labor Congress, said the federation will file a formal complaint with the International Labor Organization of the United Nations, of which Canada is a member.Carr said the bill goes far beyond previous back-to-work legislation because it provides for neither third-party arbitration nor forced mediation.Earlier in the day.Bean made several gestures to the government, including immediate removal of pickets at access points for airline passengers and air controllers and private vehicle lanes at border crossings.Pickets will continue at airport cargo entrances and commercial transport lanes at the border.Bean also offered to take down picket lines at grain terminals so wheat could move for the first time in a week providing Ottawa dropped the back-to work legislation and agreed to mediation.But Loiselle shrugged off Bean’s offer just as he dismissed the staff relations board report.It was the point of preacceptance of wage restraints that sparked the public service board’s ruling.“The insistence on conditions precedent to negotiating terms and conditions of employment at the bargaining table is incompatible with the requirement to make every reasonable effort to negotiate a collective agreement,” the three-member panel said in See PS AC:, page 2.mm.'

iceberg, 10 Latin American sailors were reunited with their families in the Dominican Republic and Venezuela Monday.But the man who put them up for the summer said Canadian officials treated the crewmen like criminals until the very end.The men had been charged with conspiring to import cocaine.but the charges were dropped two weeks ago.Raynald Tremblay, who runs the pacifist commune in Ogden where the sailors were released on bail, said Immigration Canada officials wouldn’t let his family take the men to the airport.Instead, they were taken to Montreal in a paddy wagon with wire mesh over the windows.NO RESPECT "They treated them like criminals until the end.” Tremblay said Monday, it’s pretty sad to see the way they have no respect for human dignity.” But the sailors’ lawyer downplayed the incident, saying it was no big deal.“After the humiliation of being picked up off an iceberg, treated like criminals, and spending five months in a strange country, that doesn’t mean too much,’’ said Jean-Jacques Rousseau.Rousseau said the eight from the Dominican Republic were held by police for several hours on their arrival home, but were released Monday morning to their waiting families.The Canadian immigration documents were all in French, Rousseau said, and had to be translated before the men were let go.Rousseau had not yet heard from the two Venezuelan sailors by Monday afternoon.They flew to Toronto Friday for a connecting flight to Venezuela.The sailors had so much luggage to bring back that they stuffed clothes into empty sleeping bags.The clothes were do- nated by neighbors for the men's families.Some of the bags had to be left behind as the sailors had exceeded the maximum weight allowed aboard their flight.Ship's captain Valerio Modesto will remain at the commune as charges still stand against him.He and other men will appear in Sherbrooke court for a preliminary hearing Sept.30.Goldbloom: Silver-tongued watchdog?By Rita Legault AYER'S CLIFF — Canada’s new Commissioner of Official Languages sees himself as a watchdog for minority language rights.But Victor Goldbloom says that no matter what he does, his success will largely depend on the efforts of other Canadians.“I don't think the future of the country will be decided on the ferocity of this watchdog,” he said in a weekend interview.“It will be determined by the quality of dialogue between the two linguistic groups.” Aside from his main jobs as a language ombudsman and inspector for the federal government, Goldbloom said he sees his role as a promoter of understanding between Canada’s two solitudes.“Right now, that’s my most important challenge,” he said.WORK WITH MAJORITY Goldbloom.who was appointed Commissioner of Official Languages on June 25.said he plans to speak to majority language groups — the French-speaking in Quebec and the English-speaking of the other provinces — in order to make them more aware of linguistic minorities.“Without malice, majorities can often be insensitive to the fight by minorities to keep their language,” he said.Goldbloom.who was in the Eastern Townships to take part in the annual Townshippers’ Day, said he also has a role in supporting, encouraging and assisting minority-language organizations like the Association of English-speaking Townshippers.He said lobby groups like the Townshippers are essential because they channel the viewpoints of local angles to government.Goldbloom, a physician and a former provincial liberal cabinet minister, said he is “profoundly worried” about English-speaking Quebecers leaving the province, and that he believes Quebec is sincere in its efforts to encourage angles to stay by recruiting for civil service jobs.“I understand these are not just words,” he said, and for anglophones to believe the government it will have to come up with some real jobs for them.BILINGUALISM REVIEW Goldbloom enters his seven-year mandate just as the Conservatives are considering the recommendations of the Spicer Forum on Canadian Unity, which proposed a formal review of Canada’s official bilingualism policies.He said that while he supports a review of the structures of bilingualism to remove “irritants”.he opposes any threat to Canada’s future as a bilingual country.“It’s unacceptable and contrary to the w ill of the Canadian people to start questioning this fundamental aspect of our linguistic policies," he said.“If they look at correcting some of the irritants, I can’t oppose that.” MOST WANT TWO Despite vocal criticism of bilingualism presented in Keith Spicer's report.Goldbloom said the polls show that a majority of Canadians want Canada to remain bilingual.The Montreal-born pediatrician-turned-politician said there is a lack of balance in the public eye because those who oppose bilingualism made much noise while those who are satisfied don’t complain.Goldbloom said he believes that to make Canadians more comfortable with language policies some adjustments are needed, but no more than that.“I fervently hope that they will not put into question the nature of a country which is one that speaks two languages.” ‘Dialogue between the two linguistic groups’ is the answer to controversy over Canada’s bilingualism policies, says federal languages commissioner Victor Goldbloom.New York without Hydro Quebec?ALBANY, N Y.(API — Energy experts on Monday discussed what life would be like in New York without electricity from Hydro-Quebec.If New York cancels a propose d one-million kilowratt contract w ith Hydro-Quebec — as environmentalists are urging — much of that energy would have to be replaced with power from plants that burn coal, oil or natural gas, an official from the New York Power Authority said “Despite the controversy associated with Hydro-Quebec’s proposed Great Whale project, Quebec hydro power remains LASALLE: an important component in New York’s electricity supply because it provides environmental, economic, fuel diversity and capacity benefits,” said Kenneth Haase, the power authority’s vice-president of system planning.Environmentalists have urged New York Gov.Mario Cuomo and the power authority to cancel the 20-year contract, saying it is driving the construction of the huge power James Bay region.Opponents of the plan have said that New York could conserve most of the energy the Hydro-Quebec contract would provide.Last month, authority chairman Richard Flynn agreed to extend the contract review time by 11 months to Nov.30, 1992.He said that was because New York’s energy demands had dropped below their projections — because of increased efficiency and a drop in economic activity.The state’s smaller, independent power producers would like to fill some of the gap created by the possible cancellation of the Hydro-Quebec contract worth $17 billion US.The head of the American Wind Energy Association said New York should rely more on wind to create power.Randall Swisher said that New York’s wind energy potential is 10- to 20-times greater than the energy plan predicts.project in northern Quebec’s Hr-*’ Créés back in court MONTREAL (CP) — The Cree Indians were back in Quebec Superior Court Monday in their latest attempt to put the brakes on the Great Whale hydroelectric project in northern Quebec.They are trying to ensure that environmental impact studies on the $12.6-billion project are not split, with the access roads and airports being evaluated before the dams and the main components.The Cree want the whole project evaulated at the same time.Quebec Environment Minister Pierre Paradis has said that the assessments will likely be merged, and that no work would be done on the infrastructure until the project is given the green light.However, the Cree have decided to go ahead with the court case The decision comes hard on the heels of their victory in the Federal Court of Canada last week.Judge Paul Rouleau ruled that Ottawa’s environmental assessment of the project must be carried out under the terms of the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement — and not the Environmental Assessment Review Process guidelines (EARP) favored by Quebec.The difference is that under the James Bay agreement, Ottawa has the authority to stop any development in the project.Continued from page one.unsubstantiated suspicion and theories” from the

unlock all of this conspiracy and it will be a very interesting trial.I tell you, you haven’t heard the last of it yet.” Kealey’s crusade was sparked by a 1986 incident in which LaSalle allegedly asked for $5,000 as a downpayment to guarantee government tenancy in the planned office complex.The RCMP investigated two years later but found insufficient evidence for a charge.Kealey, who lost his

with all reasonable effort.We are surprised by that.” But Bean interpreted the ruling as saying Ottawa must move from its hard-line position on wages.“They have to return to the bargaining table without any precondition and that’s what it’s all about.” The board’s rulings are binding but can be appealed to the Federal Court of Canada.Board chairman Deans could not be reached for comment on

The Association for the Preservation of Lake Magog also wants public hearings, but has not yet taken a position on the project."We don’t have the answers to all the questions about the effect of the sand," said association president Ghislain Girard.VIGILANT “We’re not going to oppose it for the sake of opposing it," Girard said.“Let’s just say we will be vigilant.” Mayor Gilbert and Magog Township Mayor Rosaire Fil-lion were among a delegation of local officials who visited a similar project at Lac St-Jean last week.That project was substantially bigger than the Memphremagog plan, with a cost of $55 million and involving over three million tons of Stewart Hopps.'\othing blocks the ecosystem like sand.' sand.Gilbert said that project was very successful and has had little negative effect on the environment.“If it didn't hurt Lac St-Jean it’s hard to see how it could hurl with a much smaller project like Memphremagog,” he said.Copies of the environmental impact study can be seen at the Memphremagog library in Magog and at the Communications Quebec office in Sherbrooke.Bedford cannery sewage killing fish?By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — Notre-Dame de Stanbridge Mayor Richard Pelletier says town council will likely bill the town of Bedford and the Snyder vegetable processing plant for the cost of cleaning up several tonnes of fish found floating belly-up last week.The rotting fish turned up in Chagnon Brook, a tributary of the Pike River.Environment Minister Pierre Paradis said in a press release last week that Quebec will cover three-quarters of the cost of cleaning up while the municipality must assume the remaining 25 per cent.Pelletier said in an interview that cost is not at issue.DEAD RIVER’ “It won’t cost so much to clean up the fish,” he said."We’re only talking about two men in masks working for a couple of days.The real problem is the dead river.” Phosphates and other pollutants in the water have caused a depletion of oxygen necessary for fish to survive.Pelletier said there is no doubt that the source of pollution is vegetable-wash water from the Snyder plant in Bedford, which flows through the town pipeline into the Pike River.Pelletier said photographers and film crews have documented the flow of effluent from the pipeline into the river.Bedford’s new sewage treatment system, expected to start operating in October, was not built to accomodate sewage from Snyder — the town’s largest producer of waste water.PLAN SPIKED A plan to dump the waste — water used to flush vegetables before freezing — on acres of farmland in the neighboring Township of Bedford was scuttled last year after farmers complained to Environment Quebec and the farm union.Paradis, a Bedford native and Brome-Missisquoi MNA, said a decision on how to treat and dispose of the plant’s waste water must be made in the next few weeks.A study presented last month failed to come up with a solution acceptable to the environment ministry.The Snyder plant has already reduced its volume of waste water through a recycling program introduced this year.But Paradis says an alternative to dumping in the Pike River must be found by the beginning of next summer or the plant will have to cease operations.HEAVY METALS?Denis Boulais, an outspoken critic of the town’s plan to use farmland to dump the used water said a report from the provincial sewage-management agency La Société Québécois pourl'assainissement des eaux usées (SQ AE ) indicates that the Snyder waste water contains heavy metals at levels much higher than federal standards allow.“We don’t need any more pollution in our water table,” Boulais said.Boulais said residents of Notre-Dame de Stanbridge are already complaining about contaminated drinking-water wells as a result of pollution from the river.“The Pike River supplies the water table,” Boulais said.“When the river is polluted it’s bound to seep into the wells.” A spokesman at the des Rivières school board confirmed that for the past three years it has been forced to purchase drinking water for students at St-Joseph’s elementary school in Notre-Dame de Stanbridge.ALL TOGETHER NOW Environment Minister Para- dis said u collective effort is required to clean up the Pike River.“Three types of pollution contribute to the problem : industrial, municipal, and agricultural." Paradis said.Champlain Industries in Stanbridge Station, another know'» polluter of the river, closed its doors last August following an order from Environment Quebec.The town of Bedford, Notre- Dame de Stanbridge and the Township of Stanbridge, three of the six municipalities which border the river, are slated to receive government assistance to reduce the flow of domestic waste into the river.Bedford’s new sewer extension will be operational next month, while Notre-Dame de Stanbridge will receive $215,000 to consider options for waste water treatment.The Township of Stanbridge will sign an agreement this fall to begin preliminary studies.Metro Sherbrooke sewage plant will cost more than was expected SHERBROOKE — Quebec Environment Minister Pierre Paradis and Sherbrooke Mayor Paul Gervais have signed an agreement to in crease the province’s spending on the new me tropolitan Sherbrooke sewage treatment.The centre will cost $82,940,000 of which 81.2 per cent will be paid by the Quebec government and 18.8 per cent by the city of Sherbrooke and its partners in the project, a joint venture with Ascot, Fleurimont, Lennoxville and Rock Fo- rest .Sherbrooke MNA André Hamel announced the increased government spending in a weekend communiqué.He said the costs rose due to a change in the site of the sewage plant, which uses the “biofiltration” method of treating sewage.Once completed, the plant will be able to treat 198,000 cubic metres of sewage per day, removing 7500 kilograms of liquid pollutants per day and 8100 kilograms of solid waste.Hard economic times don’t stop publishers of Sherbrooke weekly By Teresa Pomerleau SHERBROOKE — A new Frcnch-language weekly paper hit the city’s newsstands Monday.Le Miroir de 1 ’Estrie hopes to replace and surpass the now defunct Super-Hebdo.Ronald Martel, publisher and general manager, said the new weekly won’t repeat the other’s errors.“We don’t have the same cost overrun, and contrary to the other one, we will answer the people’s needs and interests," Martel said.Le Miroir de l 'Estrie published 40,000 copies of its first edition.Martel and his partner Richard Bernier hope to increase that number in the next few months.The colorful paper will concentrate on features about what’s happening in and around the city.LOCAL COVERAGE For the next few months, most of the news will be about Sherbrooke, Fleurimont, Ascot Township, Saint Élie d’Orford and Rock Forest.The publishers hope to cover Lennoxville and Deauville in the near future.“We have planned for three years and invested $100,000 in this venture.We don’t expect to fail”, Martel said.Bernier, president and editor-in-chief.said his regular staff is only eight full-time workers, but many freelance reporters contribute as well.Bernier is an experienced n e w s pape rman and has worked for both La Tribune and the Journal de Montreal.Ho has also done a lot of free- lance writing in Quebec magazines.Martel is president of Multi-Concept Ronald Martel inc., which has worked on production of two other weeklies over the last five years.IN-DEPTH REPORTS “We’re going to write about what going on in Sherbrooke and the surrounding areas in an in-depth manner”, said Bernier.Like most other weekly papers in the Eastern Townships, Le Miroir de l'Estrie is printed at The Record.“We wanted the money we spend to stay in the region”, said Bernier.“We know The Record can do the job easily and quickly.” Le Miroir will have feature articles, personality profiles, sports by Jean Maurice Bilodeau.a cultural and arts section, a humor column by Guy Ouellet, and a comic strip with a Sherbrooke hero.Although many weeklies have gone under, the state of the economy does not seem to frighten the new publishers.“This is the best time to launch a paper ", said Martel.Repairs to bridge mean downtown delays SHERBROOKE — Repair work will begin at 9 p.m.today on the Grandes Fourches Bridge, which crosses the Magog River in downtown Sherbrooke.The bridge is located north of King Street on Grandes Fourches.Only one lane will be open to traffic until November 7.A temporary traffic light will be installed, letting cars cross one way at a time.City officials suggest that motorists use other routes, such as St- François Boulevard and the Terrill Steel Bridge.E.T.Autoroute too SHERBROOKE — Repairs on the Eastern

the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editoria A renewal of faith for ET anglophones It was inspiring sight, one which gave hope that perhaps there is a future for the English-speaking community in the Eastern Townships.A sunny, mild day greeted the estimated 5000 people who turned out Saturday for Township-pers Day.And although a few French voices were heard, and welcome, this was a day to celebrate the long and hopefully far-from-over history of Quebec’s original anglophone settlers.A feeling of optimism seemed to pervade the air at the Ayer’s Cliff fairgrounds.It was as if the simple fact of seeing so many anglophones in one place at one time renewed some of the lost faith.We looked around and said: “Hey, we’re still here after all! And we don't plan on leaving.” It certainly seemed as if a renewal of faith is what many came for.While the arts and crafts displays and the bands provided some diversion, this day was mostly about celebrating the simple fact that we’re here.Not that faith or hope will be enough to sustain a community that gets older and smaller every year.Real work needs to be done, work that the Townshippers Association takes very seriously.The Youth at Work display, which aimed to encourage youngsters to stay and build their lives here, was by all accounts a success.More such initiatives, fully supported by the anglophone community as a whole, need to be undertaken.On the political front, the concerns of anglophones, and their importance to the province, must be constantly pointed out to the

of Business ”, by Edward Lang, chairman and chief executive of RJR-Macdonald Inc., in the August issue of Canadian, the in-flight magazine of Canadian Airlines International: While Canadians continue the ongoing introspective debate of our future as a country, a rapidly changing world is encircling us.The fact is that our ability to compete internationally will have a far greater impact on our standard of living and future prosperity than any resolve to the constitutional debate.In the global market, fluency in languages — the more the better — will be critical to our ability to compete and to prosper.Ironically, bilingualism, a point of controversy here at home, is one of our greatest competitive advantages in the global marketplace.One of the greatest gifts we can give our children is fluency in languages.Another is to teach them the fact that in business there are no borders; there are only differences in cultures and customs.— From “What Canada Thinks", a regular feature o/The Canadian Press.Help the environment buy a fur coat From a letter from Charles Melllwriek to the Regina Leader-Post: What can you do to help the environment?If you’re really concerned, buy a fur coat.Here in Saskatchewan, three farmers in different areas had for many years kept small flocks of sheep on somewhat rough pasture land.Every year each of the farmers lost a few head, usually lambs, from their flocks to coyotes, which in one way or another managed to enter the pastures.But it was a tradeoff.During the winter, the farmers or their sons usually managed to trap a few of the coyotes and, as one farmer explained, he generally made enough from the pelts to buy licence plates for his half-ton truck.He went on to explain that his losses (due to the low price of raw furs) had become untenable.So, in the spring, he sold his sheep and broke the land.For the anti-fur activists and vegetarians this would have been at least a small victory were it not for the real losers in the situation.The close-cropping ability of the sheep had pro vided the perfect nesting habitat for some 25 to 40 pairs of burrowing owls.They’re gone now.and a beautiful crop of oats now flourishes where the owls once nested and nurtured their young.Who but the anti-fur activists could find satisfaction in such a shallow victory?— From “What Canada Thinks”, a regular feature o/The Canadian Press.Farmers speak up before closing down By Glenn Cheater MIAMI, Man.(CP) — They sat stone-faced, shifting uncomfortably in their chairs in the packed hall and squinting at the throng of camera crews and reporters.Others milled about a gravel parking lot.listening to unfamiliar voices blaring from a speaker and hearing all-too-familiar complaints.Many farmers are on the edge of bankruptcy, the voices said.We’re hurting and the government's doing nothing, said one.People are paying a buck for a loaf of bread and the farmer gets a penny for the wheat that went into that loaf, added another.“Is there anyone out there listening?Is there anyone who really cares?” one woman asked in a tearful voice.But there was no agreement on a solution to the farm crisis and no promises either — even though federal Grains and Oilseeds Minister Charlie Mayer was one of the 1,000 Manitoba farmers who turned out for the impromptu rally Thursday at this village of 400 an hour’s drive southwest of Winnipeg.Still, most seemed to think they’d scored an impressive victory.CHANGING TIMES “What I see happening is farmers finally standing up and becoming more vocal,” said John Froese.“Things are changing.” Froese and Rab Wiebe, two farmers from a nearby southern Manitoba town, had reason to feel satisfied.In less than 72 hours, the two neophyte rally organizers from Winkler, Man., had turned an idea hatched at the local coffees-hop into the province’s largest farm protest in 20 years.“I didn’t think there was quite as much frustration out there as there is,” said Froese, 36.“I realized today there is a lot more than I thought.” The same frustration welled up in southwestern Ontario corn and cattle country Wednesday when a thousand angry farmers packed a hall in the town of Lucknow.Both groups had quick solutions for farmers’ immediate problems — cash.The Ontario farmers demanded $124 million in short-term aid by Oct.1, while their Manitoba counterparts set their sights higher.“We absolutely require a $30 an acre immediate payment on the 1990 crop,’’farmer Shawn McCut-cheon said to hearty applause.LOW PRICES That’s $1.7 billion to cover the bills racked up this spring putting in a crop that is now being sold at a loss because of a global subsidy war that has driven prices to near record lows.That’s also in addition to an estimated $2 billion in government aid to be paid out to grain, oilseed and corn farmers during the next 12 months.But can Canadian taxpayers afford to keep farmers afloat?There were lots of suggestions floating around Miami’s community hall.Some wanted Ottawa to cut back on tax breaks to big business or fire some of their underworked and overpaid bureaucrats.Others said a food tax is the answer.In the end, there was no agreement on a single plan that the sombre men in grimy baseball caps could cheer and trumpet as the salvation to their problems.“Those billions of dollars aren’t really a cure,” admitted organizer Wiebe.“It pays our fuel bills for a couple of weeks.” But for many farmers, that’s as far ahead as they dare look.“I hope they’ve got something for us next week,” said one man.“’Cause if they don’t want to do anything for farmers, they’d better close up the shop and we’ll get on with our lives.” Letters Europeans looking for Canadian correspondents Dear Sirs, The Vlaams-Nederlandse Communicatie

ibis and many other species in Japan have been wiped out, or nearly so.as the Japanese felled forests, filled bays and dammed waterways in the name of industry.Kinchan, one of only two crested ibises surviving in Japan, lives in a cage in an isolated mountain sanctuary.She is 26 — too old to breed, ornithologists fear.The other survivor, a slightly younger male, has been sent to mate with crested ibises in China, where fewer than 30 of the birds survive.The Japanese government has made some effort to reverse the decline of wildlife, but its measures are piecemeal.Until a century ago, Japanese crested ibises lived in harmony with man, said Ken Yasuda, a wildlife historian who has specialized in tracking their past.Then farmers began using chemical pesticides in rice paddies, he said, killing the crawdads and small fish on which the birds fed, Poachers killed them to use their pinkish feathers for fishing lures.Their habitat vanished as developers drained marshes and destroyed forests.In 1968, tne government put me last few birds in captivity, deep in the mountains of northern Sado Island.CONTROLS ENDED Japan had a respectable conservation record until just over 100 years ago.The samurai enforced strict controls on poaching to maintain game preserves for the elite, Yasuda said, and that saved many species.Those controls ended when modernization began with the Meiji Era of 1868-1911, he said, and “it was a free-for-all, all the birds you can take.” Wolves were gone in a few decades, with the help of American farm advisers who taught Japanese ranchers to use strychnine, and the otter is thought to be extinct in Japan.Short-tailed albatrosses virtually disappeared in 17 years because of a feather plant opened in 1886 on Torishima Island, their only known nesting site in Japan.A volcanic eruption buried the factory in 1902.Ten albatrosses were found on the island half a century later and a painstaking conservation program has increased their population to nearly 2(H).TRY TO SAVE The government is trying to save several other species.It provides artificial nesting sites and food for the shimafukuro owl, and uses decoys and an electronic calling system to lure an endangered type of sea raven to safer areas.In winter, game wardens feed chickens to Iriomote and Tsushima wildcats because wild prey is scarce.Environmentalists say the patchwork measures are necessary because Japan is too small to establish substantial conservation areas.Its 123 million people, half the population of the United States, live on slightly more than one per cent of the U.S.land area.Land is so expensive and pressure from developers and farmers so great that few limits are put on construction, farming and logging, even inside national parks."They just put the title ‘national park- on those places, without really protecting the environment,” said Eiji Fujiwara, an author and veterinarian who runs a wildlife research institute northeast of Tokyo.POACHERS BUSY Despite a ban since 1947 on finely woven “mist” nets, poachers still use them to bag as many as 1,000 low-flying birds a day.The birds are sold as pets or served in pubs, roasted whole.Starlings and sparrows, both abundant, are the usual targets, but the nets also capture yellow and gray buntings.Those species may face extinction unless the poaching stops, said Reiji Nakat-subo, director of the Japan Association for the Preservation of Birds.The Environment Agency, established in 1970, does not have enough staff to make sure laws are enforced.Kenjiro Mori of its nature conservation program al- • so said it often loses confronta- ' tions with the powerful ministries of trade, agriculture, construction and transport.Such predominance of economic over environmental concerns has earned the Japanese a reputation of callousness toward wildlife.The government only reluct tantly agreed, for instance, to stop importing ivory and the shells of rare sea turtles.Some progress is evident.Whale steaks once were a part of school lunches, but no longer.“Fifty years ago, people tended to shoot everything, but now the thinking is changing,” said Na katsubo of the bird association.“People have begun to think of whales as cute.It’s the same thing with birds."

The Angus closure is not a sign cf failure on the part of CP Rail because other railways in North America are experiencing the same problem of repair overcapacity, said company president Robert Ritchie.“If CP Rail is to remain competitive in the North American transportation industry, it must keep adjusting its plant and workforce to achieve high levels of productivity.” added Ritchie.The 810 employees with eight years or more of seniority will be able to choose a lump sum in lieu of continuing pay cheques, if they wish.There are also provisions in the layoff order for workers with enough seniority to transfer to other jobs in other centres, said Scott.But unionized employees fear their monetary security may be axed when their contract exoires Dec.31 But company spokesman Tim Humphreys said the employees should not be concerned.He pointed out that only 57 people will be without a job or a salary: the rest will be either re-located or continue to draw a salary.“Right now.we have an obligation to these employees, the obligation is there and we plan to live up to it.” CP has between 4,500 and 5,000 employees in Quebec, Lafrance said.These cuts mean 20 per cent of the workforce will be axed.George Deschenes, 49.has been with CP Rail for 18 years and earns $16 an hour.“I feel very bad," he said as he left the east-end yard."This job with Angus was supposed to be for life but I guess my life is ending at 49.“The company said I’m supposed to get a salary until I'm 65.It’s not bad but I want to work.” STARTING SHIFT Guy Ranco, who has been at CP for 19 years, was just starting his shift Monday afternoon w-hen he heard the news.“It’s a big surprise,” said Ranco, 37.“I guess I’m going to relax and take a break now.It’s better than not having a job, I guess.” Humphreys said the company hasn’t decided what will happen with the 40 hectares of land the plant occupies but it has a land marketing team as- Nationair slashes 240 jobs Business briefs By Felicity Munn MONTREAL (CP) — Less than a week after massive layoffs at Canada’s two major airlines, the largest charter carrier in the country has announced big cutbacks of its own.Montreal-based Nationair said Monday it will lay off 240 of its 500 flight attendants in October.The company described the layoffs as seasonal — routine preparation for the traditionally slow autumn travel period.But the union stated the numbers were far from routine, saying about 50 employees are normally let go in the autumn slowdown.A Nationair spokesman acknowledged many more people than usual are being shown the door, and blamed tough times in the industry.“In July we had 4,300 flying hours, and in November we will have 1,600 hours,” said Lyne Lortie.“There are fewer hours this year because of the economic situation.” Lortie didn’t have the exact number of planned flying hours for December, the start of the peak winter travel season.But she suggested things look better for Nationair in Montreal than Toronto.“The Toronto market is even tougher than the Montreal market and we may end up with fewer flying hours there.” WILL REHIRE Come December, the airline expects to rehire nearly all 144 flight attendants laid off in Montreal and some “but not most” of the 96 let go in Toronto.Last week, Air Canada and Canadian Airlines International between them laid off some 2,200 employees.Air Canada lost $100 million in the first half of the year, while Canadian Airlines’ pa- rent company, PWA Corp., lost $99.5 million in the same period.Privately held Nationair says its 1990 revenue was $229 million and it made a modest profit.The airline, which employs about 1,400, expanded to Toronto last year after several charter operators there collapsed.Lately Nationair has been leasing new planes in a fleet-refurbishment program which was hastened by the fatal crash of a Nationair DC-8 in Saudi Arabia in July.The plane, charted by a private Nigerian company to ferry pigrims home from Mecca, crashed in flames soon after taking off from Jidda.All 247 Nigerian pilgrims and the 14 Canadian crewmembers on board perished.Nationair has said bookings dipped slightly after the crash but not sufficiently to hurt the company’s finances.VARENNES, Que.(CP) — ABB Canada has won a $30-million contract from Ontario Hydro to manufacture gas insulated switchgear for a transformer station northwest of Toronto.Production will begin in 1992 for installation in early 1993, ABB said in a statement Monday.ABB, headquartered in the Montreal area, employs 3,500 across the country.It designs and manufactures power generation, transmission and distribution equipment as well as industrial automation, transportation and environmental technologies.LAVAL, Que.(CP) — The board of directors of IAF Bio-Chem International Inc.has approved a two-for-one stock sessing it.“It was not an easy decision to make," he said.“In fact, some of the people involved in this decision started their ca reers here."

Srill UNdcR tUe same management T-bills offer security, liquidity The stock market is stuck in a rut and guaranteed investment certificates tie up your money.Savings accounts don’t offer enough interest and betting on the horses doesn’t offer any guarantees.But you still want to invest, with security and liquidity topping the list of priorities.Treasury bills may be the way to go.Backed by federal or provincial governments, T-bills are virtually risk-free and can easily be cashed in early.Buying T-bills can be a little tricky, experts agree, but with some knowledge of the ups and downs of interest rates they can prove profitable.“If you can play the see-saw of interest rates correctly, then T-bills can be a very useful investment in a period of rising rates,” says Timothy Egan of T.E.Financial Consultants in Toronto.SELL AT DISCOUNT Unlike GICs, treasury bills don’t actually pay interest.Instead, they’re sold at a discount and mature at par or face value.The difference between the purchase price and par is the investor’s gain, which is later taxed by Revenue Canada as interest income.A formula for determining the income, or yield expressed in annual terms, is based on the discount price and the length of the term.For example, a T-bill is purchased at a discount price of, say, $97 and is due to mature in 91 days at a face value of $100.When the term is up, this T-bill will have netted the investor a yield of 12.41 per cent.The bills can be bought with terms ranging from 30 days to more than 500 days, says Ira Katzin, a broker at Richardson Greenshields.“Say you bought a 90-day treasury bill and after the end of 30 days you need the money — it’s very easy to sell it in the open market (through an investment dealer), but you will be getting the rate for 30 days,” Katzin says.ALSO PROVINCIALS Many provinces offer their own treasury bills, which usually provide a higher yield than those of the federal government, he says.Money monitor By Susan Yellin The Canadian Press T-bills can be bought through banks, some trust companies and investment dealers and brokerages.Katzin says at his company, investors need a minimum $5,000 to put into T-bills.Commission fees for buying T-bills vary but are generally less than those on stock purchases.Many banks offer T-bill mutual funds.At the Commerce, the minimum initial purchase for a T-bill mutual fund is $5,000 — except in the case of a fund for an RRSP, in which case it’s $3,500.Minimum additional purchases are $500.There’s an annual management fee of up to one per cent and an RRSP administration fee of about $25 a year.The Royal Trust offers a money market fund made up almost exclusively of T-bills, with only a $500 minimum purchase, said Daniel Stronach, manager of financial planning.There are no load (or commission) fees and there’s an annual one per cent management charge, said Stronach.Mutual fund dealers also have money market funds.Elliott and Page, for example, offers a fund with a minimum lump payment of $1,500 or on a monthly pre-authorized chequing plan, says Jennifer Hurt, the company’s vice-president of mutual funds marketing.The fund is eligible for RRSPs.Declining interest rates have put a damper on some T-bill buying, but as Katzin points out, it is one of the most liquid investments around.“Some of my clients are buying treasury bills with 30- or 60-day maturities because they’re looking to buy a home,” says Katzin.“In the meantime, they want to make sure that the money earns money.” By the way, it’s the auction of treasury bills every Thursday by the federal government that helps sets interest rates across the country.The Bank of Canada rate is set at one-quarter of one percentage point above the weekly average sale of 91-day T-bills.Banks and other financial institutions take their cue from the central bank for the interest rates they charge on mortgages and personal loans and the rates they pay on savings accounts, guaranteed investment certificates and the like.ÜK iMVtofM t?Dion fy Dion 3 21st 3 & S 21 st g 1 MinhrtfMry \W-I99l Marita Roy vJ ' - 21 yes of full inventory > after-sale service FOR 21 YEARS, OUR TEAM HAS ALWAYS SERVED YOU AT ANY "PRICE"!

Don’t wear pale sandals or shoes with black hose.Do try black hose and shoes with bright or primary color dress.Don’t be afraid to mix black hose with other darks such as dark green, wine, brown, blue.Do try different textures of black (patent, nubby wool, suede) together.WHITE/OFF-WHITE Perfect with pastels.With neutrals for change from “natural” leg colors.Wear with black and red for a crisp, chic look.With turquoise, chrome-yellow, cobalt blue, other exciting brights.With dressy me-tallics (bronze, platinum).PINKS Probably the prettiest, most flattering of hosiery colors.And amazingly versatile.The key word here is pale.Pale baby pink, salmon, mauve, lavender.Wear these with almost everything.They’re like makeup for your legs.(Ballet dancers have worn these shades for years.) Try them with the expected — other pastels, even white.Try them with darks-any darks-blacks, blue, green, red.A gorgeous evening look, try at least one pair in this range — you’ll never give them up.Medium, dark and bright pinks on the other hand, need careful consideration.They are happy with neutrals like wine, black, navy, grey.But be careful — the wrong ones can look harsh or rashy on the legs.REDS/WINES/RUSTS Bright reds are the new neutrals.(I have reservations about this.) Always super with Delicate Dior stockings with a rose motif, popular in the 1980s.black and black/white.Give life and excitement to darks and “ordinary” neutrals.Also grey, khaki, navy, dark green, olive green, cobalt blue.And of course, black patent.Darks are wines, burgundys, rusts, terra cottas, etc.Great with light grey, dark grey, navy, dark green, all shades of their own family.The adaptable netrals are khaki greige, putty, taupe, greenish-browns, grey beiges.These are the chameleonlike colors that seem to adapt to match other somewhat related colors.They lend themselves well to browns, tans, greys, taupe, etc.For contrast, good with wine, cordovan rust, dark green, black.For pizzazz — try with red, pink and salmon.GREYS Almost anything goes, with one caution.When mixing greys with other greys, blues or pinks be careful as some greys are quite blue, some quite quite pink and all are happiest within their own families.BLUE Try navy and darks with red, white wine, cordovan, rust, pink, light grey, classic plaids.Pale blues are hard to wear except to “match” a specific outfit or with other pastels.Greys and pinks are more flattering.BASIC PRINCIPLES All one color extends, unifies, is “safe”, gives a long leggy look.When dealing with a real “color,” it is safer to match hose to shoes rather than to a skirt or dress.Usually it is better to use either shoe, stocking or clothing color as accent not all three.” The rule of thumb always is: “If in doubt, don’t”.Ladies, always put your best stocking-foot forward! Use your mind and get your heart’s desire By Valerie Lawton VANCOUVER (CP) — John Kehoe says he’s proof of his own philosophy that people can get anything they want by using mind power.“I have lots of money,” he says, hesitating when his bluntness raises an eyebrow.‘‘Well, there’s nothing wrong with that.I’m very comfortable with it,” says Kehoe, who believes the mind creates reality.“I have a Jaguar — that’s what I drive.And I have a sailboat and I have a beautiful home overlooking the ocean.These are the fruits of the labor.” For the past 13 years Kehoe’s labor has been travelling the world to preach about mind power and train people how to use it to be successful.‘Tn some way any image that’s repeated over and over tends to attract that situation or circumstance to it,” says Kehoe, 44, who grew up in Toronto and now lives in the Vancouver suburb of Deep Cove.“We have this second mind that’s happening all the time inside us and anything that makes an imprint on that subconscious mind.once it’s there will attempt to manifest itself,” he said during a recent interview.“It’s more like an advanced positive thinking.” In his book.Mind Power, Kehoe describes how athletes train by imagining themselves hitting homeruns, or shooting baskets or winning races.He also writes about a cancer clinic in Texas where patients try to cure themselves by imagining their tumors are disintegrating.USES TECHNIQUE The same technique can be used in everyday life, says Kehoe, neatly groomed and dres- sed in an expensive-looking multicolored shirt and casual slacks.Five minutes a day spent concentrating on what we want is enough to get results, he says.His book describes how American comedian Carol Burnett desperately wanted to go to university but couldn’t afford tuition.Kehoe quotes Burnett as saying: “I would imagine myself taking the classes, being on campus, learning everything I wanted to learn.Every day I would think about it.” One day an envelope containing the exact amount of her first year’s tuition arrived in Burnett’s mailbox without a note to explain where it came from, the book says.Kehoe says too many occurrences are attributed to coincidence.“I think a lot of the so-called coincidences are really things that are set in motion by our beliefs and our thoughts and our energy.” While he’s not sure exactly how mind power works, Kehoe says it has something to do with the laws of physics.“There is no isolation — everything is affecting everything else." Kehoe, who previously worked as an ambulance driver, a Fuller Brush salesman and a rock-and-roll promoter, developed his theory during three years he spent living in an isolated cabin on Vancouver Island in the mid-1970s.Kehoe’s book, which has been translated into German, French and Chinese, has been more popular in Australia, New Zealand and Europe than in Canada.It was a No.1 bestseller in New Zealand and No.3 in Australia.GREAT SALE Factory samples and slightly damaged furniture at low, low prices!

I was 10 years old at the time.During the next six years, I ran away seven times, only to return to the same "loving parents" and more brutal beatings.Although I pleaded with the juvenile authorities to help me, they did nothing.I was told that I would be sent to reform school if I ran away again.At 17,1 enlisted in the Navy.That was my lucky day.It was there that I was able to build enough self-esteem to make something of my life.I strongly recommend it for young men and women who find home a living hell and all other doors closed.- J.K., FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.DEAR J.K.: Too bad you didn't find someone to speak up for you -a teacher, a clergyman or a friendly neighbor.No child should be subjected to such brutality.Your letter is a great unsolicited commercial for Uncle Sam! Thank you for telling us your story.Dear Ann Landers: I learned a few days ago that a close friend has tested positive for the AIDS virus.I became so depressed that I couldn't eat or sleep.This morning I read something in the paper that changed my attitude completely.I'd like to share it with your readers.A woman who appears to be in her early 30s, attractive and alert, addressed a seminar for health care workers in Chicago.She told them, "I have the HIV virus but it doesn't have me." When diagnosed in 1987, she decided to fight for life, and that's what she's been doing.So far Community the Navy she's winning.The woman told the group that HIV positive is not a death sentence and she certainly is proving it.She has had the virus for four years, looks terrific and holds a full-time job.There is no way a person could tell that she has this condition.Reading that story gave me an entirely new attitude about AIDS.Please print this for the benefit of others.— F.D.E., CHICAGO Ann Landers^_ DEAR CHICAGO: Thanks for a letter that will brighten the lives of many.Scientists all over the world are working around the clock to unlock the mystery of this dreaded disease.One of these days it will happen.At this moment we have a drug that, when taken early enough, slows the progression of AIDS.While it is no cure, it enables the patient to live a more normal life, which is a blessing.The real heroes are the medical researchers.We must keep them well funded so their research can continue.Dear Ann Landers: My beautiful wife and I, married 46 years, laughed and laughed when we read this Gem that appeared in your column: "Overheard in a cocktail lounge: 'Hello, handsome.I'll do anything you want for $200.' The man replied, 'Wonderful! Paint my house.’" Please send us the name and address of that person who'll do anything for $200.We’ve just had two estimates to clean the mildew off the underside of the eaves and repaint the entire house.The first estimate was $1,500 and the second was $1,200.Wire us collect.— HMB, DOTHAN, ALA.DEAR DOTHAN: Sorry, the painters' union says "Nothing doin'!” Flowered cities, town and villages — The winners for the 13th edition of the contest Villes, villages et campagne fleuris, which gives prizes to cities, towns and villages for the visually appealing flowers and gardens, have been announced.One of the big winners was Rock Forest in the category of cities with 10,000 - 20,000 inhabitants beating out 32 other cities.Lake Mégantic won first prize in the less that 10,000 category.For villages with 1000 to 5000 population category.Stoke Township came in first and East Hereford won for the less than 1000 inhabitants category.Over 500 municipalities participated in this year’s contest.The contest promotes the development of decorative horticulture in Quebec.It also encourages private and public projects aimed at beautifying Quebec’s cities and municipalities.Over 1000 attended the ceremony at the Recreation Centre in Kingsey Falls.Congratulations to all the winners.Social notes 50th wedding anniversary Guy and Erma Littlejohn (Ross) and Ashley and Isabel Hunting i Ross) are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary on September 20.An Open House will be held on that day at the Littlejohn’s home in Lindsay, Ontario, and an Open House on September28 at Northminster Church, Oshawo, Ont., from 2 to 5 p.m.They would enjoy having any of their friends from the Eastern Townships come and share in their celebrations.Best wishes only.Happy First birthday Congratulations and best wishes to a special nephew, grandson and cousin, Nathan McCallum of Sutton, Que.on his first birthday.Tuesday, September 17.Love - Auntie Cathy, Uncle Glen.Granny Dorothy, Grandpa Stanley, Jesse and Crystal.•'I! :!: Happy first birthday to Wyatt Wright of Fulford, Que.who will be one year old on Thursday, September 19, from Cathy, Glen, Crystal and Jesse.23rd birthday greetings Happy birthday to Bobby-Joe Blanchette of Sutton, Que., who will be 23 on Wednesday, September 18.She’s a special auntie, sister and daughter.Love from your family.CORRECTION In the advertisement published in The Record of Friday, September 13th, the prices shown for the Precious Moments Figurines are not valid!
