Cloudy 40 cents Government workers back today By Goal McIntosh More than 70,000 public sei vants will return to work today in a truce brokered by the NDP that snapped a bitter deadlock late Tuesday with the Mulro-ney government.In exchange for their return to work at 11 a.m.local times today, Ottawa has agreed to suspend back-to-work legislation which Treasury Board President Gilles Loiselle tabled in the Commons on Monday.Second reading of the bill, under wide attack from labor and both opposition parties, will be put to a vote today before going into a state of limbo.That’s according to the deal to end the nine-day strike at least for now.Negotiators for Treasury Board and the Public Service Alliance of Canada are expected to resume negotiations next week, said alliance president Daryl Bean Just how Tuesday’s sudden meeting of minds came about was not clear.Loiselle said Bean called him.Bean said the government initiated the meeting through NDP deputy leader Nelson Riis.But wrhat is clear is that there A symbolic funeral will be no preconditions to the revived negotiations — a dramatic shift from Ottawa's position just davs before.TOUGH MEDICINE Loiselle had insisted the alliance accept the tough medicine announced in the Feb.26 budget — no wage increase this year and no more than three per cent in the following two years — before negotiations could begin.On Tuesday morning, as de- bate began on the back-to-work law.Loiselle told the Commons that Ottawa was willing to talk — without conditions.Riis said Tuesday night that party Leader Audrey McLaughlin saw the minister’s remarks as ‘a window of opportunity” and instructed her deputy leader to approach Loiselle with an offer to broker a meeting.At the same time.New De-See GOVERNMENT:.Page 2.September 18,

Don Macdonald QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec will be offered more than what was in the Meech Lake accord when a package of federal constitutional proposals is tabled next week.Constitutional Affairs Minister Joe Clark said Tuesday.He refused to outline what new elements the package will contain, but did say Quebec ‘‘must be able to protect and promote its distinct society.” ‘‘The question is no longer about Quebec and what Quebec wants,” Clark said in a luncheon speech to the Quebec City Chamber of Commerce.“The question is whether Canada is prepared to treat the distinct society of Quebec as a reality and as an asset.” The package will also recognize that Canadians in the rest of the country place a high value on the equality of individuals and the provinces, he said.“Being equal does not mean being the same.And being a distinct society does not mean that Quebec is superior to Alberta,” said Clark, whose unity cabinet committee has been fine-tuning the constitutional package for months.“What we are proposing gives more to Quebecers than was in the Meech Lake accord.” he said after the speech, delivered mainly in French.“And it gives the Canadian people more than what was in the Meech Lake accord.” JUDGE ON MERIT Speaking just days after a poll indicated 40 per cent of Quebecers expect the federal package to be unacceptable, Clark repeatedly appealed to lis audience to judge the propo sals on their merits and not reject them out of hand.‘‘They are not etched in stone.” he told the business audience of about 400 people, most of whom stood to applaud at the end of the speech."I urge you to take them seriously, to consider them, to improve them.” He acknowledged that Quebecers have been bitterly disappointed by constitutional negotiations but he called on them to “take another look at Sec CLARK:, Page 2.Rude remarks in House from stone-age Tory MP OTTAWA (CP) — Deputy Liberal Leader Sheila Copps demanded an apology Tuesday from Tory MP Bill Kempling who allegedly called her a slut in the Commons.“My office has been inundated with calls from people who distinctly heard the member for Burlington call me a slut," Copps told Commons Speaker John Fraser when she formally complained about the remark.Kempling said he used the words “What a pain in the butt.” “I don't think that’s unparliamentary,” he said.“However if the honorable member believes that that's unparliamentary I would withdraw the remark and apologize.” Fraser said he will listen to a tape-recorded transcript of the Commons debates and report back.Copps said she also complained to Prime Minister Brian ________________________________Sec RUDE:, Page 2.Masse keeps winning brownie points By Warren Caragata OTTAWA (CP) — Defence Minister Marcel Masse came up with a new defence policy on Tuesday that demonstrates the political finesse of the urbane Quebec intellectual.Masse s appointment last spring raised eyebrows.The former culture minister had shown no interest in defence is-sues and appeared more comfortable with arts policy.“It seemed a curious ap pointment,” allowed Peter Roberts, a former ambassador to Moscow who got to know Masse after being named head of the Canada Council.“His litmus test was going to be the defence review,” said Martin Shadwick, a research associate at the Toronto-based Centre for International and Strategic Studies.“If the Forces feel the cuts can be lived with and if they feel that the minister fought for them, then his stock will go up," Shadwick said.On balance, and at first blush, Shadwick said Masse “will reap some kudos.’ Masse announced that the Canadian f orces will be trimmed back to 76,000 from 84,000.The budget for weapons will go up, the two German bases will be closed and a small force will remain in Europe.The biggest political liability in the review of Canada's defence posture following the end of the Cold War was the future of 37 military bases across the country.The military wants many of them closed.Local mayors and MPs want them kept open to preserve jobs and economic activity.Masse shuffled the issue off to a committee and it is unlikely any bases will be shut until after the next election.“He's learned his lessons well, defence expert Alex Morrison said of Masse.Morrison.who heads the Toronto-based Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies, praised the review.It’s not so surprising that Masse has won over his early More muscle for fewer soldiers?OTTAWA (CP) - The latest defence policy gives something to each branch of the military.If the government lives up to its promises.Its 1987 white paper offered a lot to everybody too.The long-awaited defence review released Tuesday by Defence Minister Marcel Masse will mean big changes for the Armed Forces.They may be changes for the better, analysts say.Canada's contribution to NATO in Europe will be cut to little more than a token.The regular forces will be cut to 7().()0() from the current 84,000 servicemen and women.That means that two CF-18 fighter-bomber squadrons with venerable traditions dating back to Second World War days of Spitfires and Hurricanes will be disbanded.There will be dis bandments, too, for some ground-force units as the regi ments returning from Europe are melded into the home forces.But the policy also offers some strong improvements in Canada’s aging weaponry.CP News Analysis Bv John Ward The navy will get new ships and helicopters.The air force will get improved electronics for its CF-18s and new transport helicopters.The army will get better artillery and antitank weapons.And when its obsolescent Leopard 1 tanks roll over and die they’ll be replaced with some kind of armored fighting vehicle.That’s the plan.“A lot will depend on execution and whether some of the promises are lived up to.” cau- tions Martin Shadwick, a researcher at the Centre for International and Strategic Studies.“That’s the key.” LEFT BAD TASTE The 1987 white paper, with its fire-breathing Cold Warrior stance and gaudy talk of nuclear-powered submarines and other costly weapons, left a bad taste when continuing deficits and world politics shredded it.Alex Morrison, executive director of the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies, said he asked a senior official about the importance of following through on the pledges.“The Department of National Defence and the minister are convinced that, all things being equal, the government intends to carry on with this program,” Morrison said.He and Shadwick, along with other experts, are pleased by the policy paper."Mr.Masse cut a verv enod suit from the cloth he had.” Morrison said.Denise Faguy.a spokesman for the Aerospace Industries Association — whose members stand to gain some lucrative contracts if the defence plan comes to fruition — was optimistic this policy will hold.“I think that it’s fairly realistic.” she said.“I think the plan has come up with a pretty good balance." David Code, incoming operations director of the Conference of Defence Associations, also thinks that this time the government will stay the course.“The last policy was over-optimistic.” he said."This one is more scaled-down.” He noted there was a public outcry from peace activists over the 1987 paper, especially over the proposal for nuclear-powered submarines.‘‘There's less here for the cri-ties to shoot at.” critics, for he is not altogether what he seems.The former history teacher in Joliette, who sprinkles his speeches with quotations from Greek philosophers.is a consummate politician.“He’s very, very good at it.” Roberts said.“He’s an energetic, active guy.” Masse presents the air of someone bred in the salons of Outremont.He’s a former director of the Montreal Symphony and the Canadian Writers Foundation.When a National Film Board production won an honorary Oscar in 1989, Masse went to Los Angeles, rented a de rigour stretch limousine and collected the statue himself.The arts community was outraged.WANTED HIM BACK On the same trip, he stopped in Boston to tour art galleries and take in a symphony concert.A biography says one of his favorite restaurants is Hy’s, a tony steak house a few blocks from Parliament Hill.But when Masse wasdumped from cabinet in 1985 because of an investigation for campaign spending irregularities, the mayors in Frontenac

Portia Priegert OTTAWA (CP) — Canada will close its two bases in Germany and cut military personnel, but the Mulroney government is side-stepping tor now the controversial issue of domestic base closings.The sweeping changes announced Tuesday in a long-deiayed defence policy address the government's program of fiscal restraint as well as the new world order after the virtual collapse of communism.Marcel Masse, the defence minister, said Canada is still committed to NATO, the western defence alliance, despite the planned closures of Baden- Soellingen in 1994 and Lahr in 1995.The number of soldiers and flyers in Europe will be cut to 1100 from 0600, but Canada w’ill be able to reinforce the skeleton crew in the event of war or crisis, he said.“We are committed to NATO,” said Masse.“We have not changed a word in that sense.” Overall, the Forces will be reduced to 76,000 over three years from the current 84.000 personnel — a drop of 9.5 per cent.Civilian employees will be reduced by 1000 to 32.000.The cuts will be mainly through attrition and will give the army more money to re- place antiquated equipment.No decisions have been taken to close bases in Canada, a political hot potato because their loss can devastate a local economy.There have been reports that Ottawa wants to close up to eight of the 37 domestic bases — which provide more housing than the city of Halifax.Masse dodged questions about the timing of any closures.saying an overall policy would help the government make sensible decisions.“It’s obvious in Canada, where bases are very numerous and many are v ery old.it's not always very effective to be spread like we are now," he said.The army loses about 3000 staff members, the air force 3000 and the navy stays the same.The number of military administrators at various headquarters and on training bases will drop by 2000.Gen.John de Chastelain, chief of the defence staff, said he missed getting everything he wanted but the policy keeps within federal funding restraints and responds to the new world climate.“I'm very comfortable militarily with what we’re doing here," he said.Two squadrons of CF-18s will be disbanded, but the military has not yet announced which ones face the axe.Some infantry, artillery and armored battalions may also be disbanded as units coming back from Europe are blended into forces at home.However, Masse wants to increase the reserves to 40,000 from the present 29.000.Most arms-purchasing plans remain intact and there are proposed additions.“There are no real showstop-pers.no 180-degree turn in our capital program,” said a senior defence official who spoke on condition of anonymity.• TUn nivv will get 12 new army frigates as planned, three submarines, some small, fast patrol ships and 35 new shipborne helicopters.• The army will see its obsolescent Leopard 1 tanks replaced by what the minister called a multi-role combat vehicle, a kind of armored fighting vehicle.It will also get new howitzers and more anti-tank weapons.• The air force will keep its present levels of fighter planes, with an additional 55 helicopters for search-and-rescue and transport.It will also get some sophisticated electronics, including the capability to fire so-called smart weapons.The water gets hotter for Roch LaSalle MONTREAL (CP) — A former aide to Roch LaSalle said in tax court on Tuesday that his boss received $50,000 from a dinner held in Joliette six years ago to celebrate LaSalle's 20 years in politics.Frank Majeau also testified LaSalle, a former Tory cabinet minister, told him during a 1985 golf game he got $35,000 raised at a Rivière-des-Prairies garden party hosted by former Conservative MP Michel Gravel.Majeau said LaSalle had known about the Joliette party where businesses, firms dealing with the government and friends of LaSalle had been approached to pay $150 per person or $1500 per table to attend.Majeau said LaSalle had "asked for a Cadillac but we (party organizers) were afraid he would get caught.” Majeau said that contributors were told that they should speak to him if they ever wanted to see LaSalle about government business and he would arrange it.telling LaSalle they had contributed to the anniversary bash.Earlier Tuesday.Gravel testified he gave LaSalle $15.000 of the money raised at the garden party at the minister's Ottawa office and LaSalle picked up another $20.000 from Gravel at his home five days before the party.Ma jeau said LaSalle told him during the July 1985 golf game.“Mr.Gravel gave me my $35.000." Majeau was testifying during a Tax Court of Canada hearing into Gravel's unpaid taxes.LAUNCHED PROBE A Revenue Canada investi- GOVERNMENT: Continued from page one.mocrat labor critic Joy Langan was dispatched to contact the alliance with the same offer, he said.The minister maintained Tuesday night that Ottawa will not budge from the wage restraints.“We’re not ruling anything out, vye will discuss 0-3-3, but we intend to maintain it,” he said.“We thought we could get some results by going back to the table and that’s what we’re doing.” Bean didn’t seem discouraged by the government’s hard line.“Certainly we are aware of what the government’s policy is, but that doesn’t mean we can’t negotiate and we will negotiate.” NO MEDIATOR The two sides will initially meet without a mediator, but one could be appointed later if needed, said Bean, who was meeting with the 31-member executive of his union when the NDP’s call came in.In a meeting with Loiselle last Friday, Bean offered to resume negotiations without preconditions but was rebuffed.Loiselle said he came away from that meeting with the belief that back-to-work legislation would be necessary.Loiselle wasn’t clear Tuesday on what prompted the change of heart.But he said the cost of the strike — ranging from closed grain terminals to clogged borders — had something to do with it.“I was very saddened by the costly detour to reaching an agreement.” But McLaughlin said there w'as little doubt Monday’s ruling by the Public Service Staff Relations Board that Ottawa had failed to bargain in good faith with its public servants also had a bearing on the minister.She also said the government was taken by surprise by the resolve of the strikers and the public support they were able to marshal.Added Liberal public service critic Marlene Catterall: “I feel the government had misjudged the situation from the beginning.” While the twm sides were negotiating a ceasefire, strike activity accelerated around the country.In Windsor, Ont., hundredsof angry truckers parked their rigs on the Ambassador Bridge, choking off traffic to protest deregulation of their industry and to support the striking public servants.Hundreds of motorists were stranded.In Winnipeg, about 4000 demonstrators formed a procession five city blocks long and converged in front of the Manitoba legislature.#¦___0«gl Hccora CIRCULATION DEPT.819-569-9528 FAX: (819) 569-3945 KNOWLTON OFF.: 514-243-0088 FAX: 514-243-5155 Randy Klnnear, Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor .569-6345 Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager.569-9525 Richard Lessard, Production Manager.569-9931 Mark Guillette, Press Superintendent .569-9931 Guy Renaud, Graphics.569-4856 Francine Thibault, Composition.569-9931 Subscriptions by Carrier: weekly SI 80 Subscriptions by Mail: Canada: 1 year- 6 months-3 months-1 month- U.S.& Foreign: 1 year- 6 months-3 months- 1 month- Back copies of The Record are available at the following prices: Copies ordered within a month of publications 60c per copy Copies ordered more than a month after publication $1.10 per copy $78.00 $39 00 $19 50 $16 00 $159.00 $97.00 $65.00 $34.00 These prices do no) include GST Established February 9, 1897, incorporating the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) and the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879).Published Monday to Friday by The Record Division, Groupe Québécor Inc.Offices and plant located at 2850 Delorme Street, Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1K 1A1.Publications Mail Registration No.1064.Member of Canadian Press Member of the Audit Bureau of Circulation galion into the unpaid taxes was launched in May 1989 after Gravel pleaded guilty the previous year to taking more than $9().()()() in bribes.Revenue Canada investigator Michel Leduc said the unpaid taxes are in connection with $40.00(1 w’hich Gravel collected from eight businessmen seeking access to LaSalle who attended the July 1985 party.Gravel testified it cost him $5000 to hold the party."Mr.Gravel admitted receiving $40.000 but he said that he gave $35,000 to Mr.LaSalle." Leduc told the court.He (Gravel) said that after expenses, he received absolutely nothing.” Leduc testified.Majeau.who was tired from LaSalle’s staff because he did not disclose a 1984 assault conviction, said Tuesday he did not know' w'hat the money LaSalle mentioned on the golf course was all about.Questioned by Gravel’s lawyer Claudine Murphy.Majeau said that Gravel was “not to my knowlege” indebted to LaSalle.Last year.Gravel told a dis- ciplinary hearing for a Quebec engineer that he personally passed "thousands of dollars" to LaSalle from businessmen seeking government contracts from the former Tory cabinet minister.LaSalle was minister of public works from 1984 to 1986.He quit as minister of state in February 1987 after reports about alleged influence peddling in Quebec.He has denied any wrongdoing.The Ontario attorney general's office announced Monday that LaSalle faces charges of demanding a bribe and conspi- ring to defraud the federal government as a result of charges sworn out by anti-corruption crusader Glen Kealcy.Gravel is the former Conservative member of parliament for Gamelin, south of Montreal.He pleaded guilty to charges of influence peddling and fraud and was sentenced to a year in jail and fined $50,000 in 1989 after admitting he took more than $91.000 in bribes and tried to collect another $6,000.LaSalle is expected to testify today at Gravel’s tax hearing.Was Cogger’s pay a fee or bribe?MONTREAL (CP) — Quebec industrialist Guy Montpetit was charged Tuesday with giving $212.000 to Conservative Senator Michel Cogger as payment for the senator’s influence in seeking government contracts.Cogger, a longtime friend of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and the co-chairman of the Tory’s 1988 election campaign, was charged last week with influence-peddling on Montpe-tit's behalf.He is to be arraigned Nov.28.The RCMP does not know where Montpetit is.and a warrant for his arrest was issued Tuesday.Cogger has maintained that he did nothing w'rong and that CLARK as a lawyer he had the right to represent Montpetit, who was ultimately refused $45 million in funding he was seeking from Ottawa and Quebec for a high-technology silicon chip foundry near Montreal.But sworn affidavits filed by the RCMP state that Cogger had learned that the Saskatchewan government needed to translate its laws into French and through Cogger's contacts with Tories in Regina, he introduced Montpetit to Saskatchewan officials.Saskatchewan subsequently invested $4 million in the machine translation firm Giga-Text Translation Systems, which it co-owned with Montpetit and a Winnipeg scientist.SHUT FIRM The firm closed in 1989 after it failed to translate a single law.Montpetit has not been seen in the Montreal area since a year ago when a Quebec Superior Court judge ordered his jai-Hng for two months for contempt of court.The court said he had sold a sailboat and furniture contrary to a court order forbidding him from disposing of his assets.That order was related to a suit taken against Montpetit in October 1988 by Japanese businessman Takayuki Tsuru, who wanted the court toorder Montpetit to repay him $39 million in loans.That suit, filed during the fe- deral election, contained allegations that Cogger had received "questionable payments” from Montpetit.Other evidence in that case included a letter from Cogger to Tsuru in which he informed the Tokyo man that the former Hoffmann-La Roche pharmaceutical building in Vaudreuil that Montpetit had purchased with Tsuru’s money had been put on a government “priority list” for leases.Cogger later said it was an “unfortunate choice of words.” Tsuru won the court suit against Montpetit and the former industrialist was ordered to repay $39 million that he had spent.Continued from page one.this great country.”.Clark indicated that the proposals will also include, as expected.self-government for natives, Senate reform and a reorganization of powers which would give the provinces more power in some areas but Ottawa a stronger role in coordinating the economy.A major sticking point among ministers on the unity committee has been how to express Quebec’s distinctiveness without ruffling feathers in other regions of the country.RUDE:- Clark said following his speech that he is expecting “an all-out attack” by Quebec separatists on the reform proposal, but added he hopes Quebecers and other Canadians will offer constructive criticism to a parliamentary committee that is to tour the country.ON RIGHT PATH’ Gil Rémillard, Quebec’s Intergovernmental Affairs Minister.reacted cautiously but positively to Clark’s speech, saying he is on “the right path ” “Mr.Clark has insisted, and I think he was right to do that, that the distinct society is something that really exists in Quebec,” Rémillard said at the National Assembly.Robert Normand, publisher of Quebec City’s Le Soleil, attended the luncheon and said the speech was positive and makes him anxious to see the proposals.“I think he’s trying to give everyone something to make sure that it is negotiable and therefore serious discussions can take place in the coming months,” said Normand, who was a high-profile member of Keith Spicer’s Citizens’ Forum on the Future of Canada.The distinct society clause of the Meech Lake accord, which guaranteed Quebec the right to promote and protect its language and culture, was one of the most controversial aspects of the failed accord.Opponents of the accord charged it would give Quebec special status and threaten individual rights.Continued from page one.Mulroney, who also promised to review the tape and respond to her.A video tape of the exchange shows Kempling said "What a.” followed by one word beginning with the sound "si.” The end of the word is cut off.Status of Women Minister Mary Collins said she didn’t want to comment until she learned the details of what happened.The remark was apparently made during debate Tuesday on the government’s bill ordering striking public servants back to work.Copps said she challenged Kempling’s statement that the job situation in Hamilton, where her riding is located, is good.“He said ‘Oh go back to the sewer,’ ” Copps said.Kempling apologized for that remark but as he was sitting down, he added the further insult, she said.And it isn’t the first time he has insulted women MPs, she added, listingseveralexamplesof him calling them “fishwife” and “God damned ignorant bitch.” “This man seems to have a systematic hate on for women memuers, Cupps said."Wiicu i.c doesn't like our arguments on the issues, he attacks us with vocabulary that is directed in a hateful way toward women.” She called for Kempling to be stripped of his job as parliamentary secretary to Treasury Broad President Gilles Loiselle, who is sponsoring the back-to-work legislation.“If he’s the person who’s there negotiating on behalf of the government when it relates to issues that affact women, he has no credibility,” Copps said.Other women M Ps said Kempling is known to frequently hurl insults at women MPs."This member of Parliament is from another time and another age." New Democrat MP Dawn Black said.”1 think Mr.Kempling should clean up his act.” Liberal MP Mary Clancy said Kempling often heckles male M Ps as well but his rcmai ks toward women are always pejorative.Reform party MP Deborah Grey said many male MPs make fun of their female colleagues because they have higher voices but don't ridicule men with speech impediments such as lisps.Weather Wednesday, clouding over in (he a Iter-noon with a chance of showers.High20.Thursday, cloudy with a lew showers.Low 12.High 17 Doonesbury by carry trudeau FOR TUB umesTTm, IKm THINKING n MUST PF MY FAULT, THAT FOMFHCtU.HI.MHO APB ALP THFSâ pome* UM.THIS IS THE MAUBU MILITARY FAMILY SUPPORT GROUP.HR/, EVERYONE, THIS IS B P.t , I'VE I BEEN • TUIIN6 THEM ALL ABOUT / YOU.BQOPSie* •>- 'M i % Un I»*I ( 0|{|> -UHm siliiv.S«‘|>li inlM i IS, The Townships —____ggi ipccom Anglos must use power Russell Williams.Anglos must 'accept the challenge.’ By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE — \1NA Russell Williams says he is confident English-speaking Quebecers will rise to the challenge presented in Quebec's new health care reform.Among other things the plan maps out the availability of provincial health and social services in English, which wall rely heavily on the involvement of anglophones on the boards of health care institu tions.“We are offering a system which w ill e m p o w e r the community." said Williams, parliamentary assistant to Health Minister Marc Yvan Côté.“We have to get the message across to the English community that they have to use the tools available to them." Williams acknowledged that the English-speaking community.particularly in rural Quebec.is diminishing rapidly.But he seemed confident those who remain will maintain the strong tradition of voluntee-rism which has characterized Quebec’s English community.•There are still 800,000 English-speaking people living in Quebec — 300,000 of them off the Island of Montreal." he said, exaggerating.'I'm confident that those who are staying will accept the challenge and the tools offered to them." Williams.MNA for Nelligan and a former executive director of Alliance Quebec who lobbied for health care guarantees for the English community, outlined a four-point plan he says will ensure access to English-language service in Quebec health-care institutions: • Service in English guaranteed in Law 142 have been written into the new Law 120: • Respect and protection for the network of English language health and social service institutions in Quebec has been recognized: • A seat has been reserved for a representative of the English-speaking community on the board of each health and social service institution.Each regional council is compelled to have an English-speaking representative on its board.Appointments to the regional board must be approved by the-health minister.As well, a volunteer committee will be created to analyze needs and coordinate regional committees.• Each establishment must reflect the population it serves in staff and services, and is subject te review' everv three Williams years.Williams, accompanied by a group of officials from the provincial health ministry, outlined the plan Tuesday to a group of health and social service workers at a meeting in Cowansville.SHORTAGES Many in the audience took advantage of the opportunity to voice concerns about service delivery in English.One health care worker described the lack of psychiatric service available to the English-speaking community in Monteregie region.Others complained about insufficient budgets and government rules governing the allocation of funds.Social worker Michael Ca luori said young angles in the Monteregie are often tossed back and forth between institu- tions like a tennis ball.He called for government directives compelling institutions to accept referrals from rural regions.Ron Creary, director general of the Butters Centre, which provides care for the mentally handicapped, provided one of the few bright spots for the touring panel.“In Brome Missisquoi we have a model which could be used not only by the province but by the country.” Creary said, citing bilingual institutions such as Brome Missisquoi Perkins hospital, the Butters network and the government health clinics (CLSCs) serving the region."Maybe it comes from an English farmer living next to a French farmer, and they both have to work together to get the tractor out of the ditch.” People of Magog ponder their future plan to establish policies and By Rita Legault MAGOG — When Magog town council decided to adopt a strategic development plan for the next four years it didn't hire a bunch of out-of-town experts.Instead of hiring city planners.council decided to get municipal managers, workers and citizens to do the job.The idea, according to town manager André Rainville, is to use public money better by spending on projects which respond to the needs and desires of residents.Last March.41 people met to discuss how they perceived the towm and where they wanted it to go in the future.Together they set up a series of orienta tions and goals for council to follow.They came up with a strategic development plan pinpointing objectives for economic, tourism, commercial and residential development for the next four years.$18 MILLION The 132-page document, unveiled at town hall Tuesday, calls for spending of about $18 million.The main goal is summari zed in this all inclusive state- ment: “To ensure families have an affordable quality of life by promoting our exceptional environment and accessi-biity to town services." About a third of participants in the planning session brought Up the importance of providing a safe town for families and se niors.They recommended hiring a community-relations police officer.setting up a 911 emergency phone line and establishing a permanent seniors committee.The creation of a regional police force and sharing costs with other municipalities was also a goal.The environment wras brought up by 15 per cent of participants, who said Magog must develop an environmental conscience and protect the local ecology, particularly lakes and rivers.ENVI R () N IYI E N I CONCERNS Goals include developing and promoting lakeshores, adopting environmental regulations, beautifying neighborhoods and cleaning up Lake Memphremagog.The tab for the environmental plan was al most $8 million.Residential development was also a common concern and the committee suggested that town council promote building new homes and provide grants to renovate older buildings.Participants also want the town to develop a marketing strategy to attract non-pollutiong industries and to increase its bank of industrial lots ready for consturtion.Development of the tourism industry was discussed as well as providing cheaper access to tourist sites like the beach for local residents.Recreation was also on the agenda.Participants said council must set up activities in various neighborhoods and increase the use of cultural institutions.DOWNTOWN Developing Magog's downtown core was another big budget item.Participants said the town should spend $8.8 million on parking lots, pedestrian crosswalks, burying hydro lines and generally improving the look of downtown.Another $22.500 should be spent to make the town’s muni- cipal administration more effective.Magog Mayor Paul-René Gilbert said council will use the LENNOXVILLE ( RL) — The cows are still being fed and milked but until today everything else ground to a halt at priorities.Rainville, who presented the plan at a press conference, said near in Lennoxville.According to union spokesman Gilles Gilbert .22 designa- goals will be re-evaluated every year while a complete review' will be undertaken every two years.ted workers are taking care of the livestock herds and perform other essential services.“We don’t want to take the animals hostage,” he said.Gilbert said that while technicians and support staff have been walking the picket lines, everything else was stopped.“Eighty five per cent of activities are paralyzed," he said.Gilbert said the picketers have prevented contract workers and graduate students from going to work.He said some research projects may have been threatened by the strike Members of PSAC local 1011 will be back on the job today as union leaders and the government return to the negotiating table.Last rally: Strikers at the experimental farm go hack to work today.V" • Workers rally down on the farm before going back to work today the federal experimental farm Sherbrooke Hussars set for their birthday parade I j.Col Alain Martineau hopes the Sherbrooke Hussars' 125th anniversary celebration will make the community aware of the militia unit's importance to the area.Alert cops nab bootleggers SHERBROOKE Police arrested two men and seized 121 cases of liquor early Tuesday after a highway chase involving three trucks and two police cars.Two Quebec Police Force officers on patrol spotted three “suspicious-looking" trucks on Autoroute 55 at about ii a.m.and gave chase, said QPF spokesman C’st.Tom McConnell.Another patrol car was called in and after a three-kilometre chase the police stopped two ol the trucks on Route His in Magog Township The third truck got away One of the trucks was empty.The other contained 121 cases of 1 75 litre bottles of liquor —the kind found in United Slates liquor stores, McConnell said The two men were arrested, then turned over to the RCMP because the case involves smuggling SHERBROOKE (SNM ) — While the Canadian government rethinks the role of the armed forces and ponders an uncertain future, one of the country’s oldest reserve regiments is celebrating a glorious past.On Saturday members and f riends of the Sherbrooke Hussars will mark the 125th anniversary of a regiment which has provided heroes in two world wars, seen numerous name changes and restructurings.and adapted itself to 2 changing times and a changing Ï country.5 The highlight of the celebra-“ t ion will be a parade at 7 Champs-dc-Mars park that will 5 include 10 Cougar armored ve-; hides.The regiment will also * march through the streets of Sherbrooke to the armory on Williams Street.HELP ECONOMY Lt.-Col.Alain Martineau, the regiment’s current comman- ding officer, said Thursday he hopes the anniversary celebration will remind the Sherbrooke community of the reserve unit’s importance.“We re like a small business.We create jobs and put money into the local economy." Martineau said.“What we’re trying to do is let people know we’re here.” Most of the reservists are young people, many of them students who put themselves through school with their military salaries.But the regiment is open to anyone with the interest, and dedication, required of a part time soldier."W'e had a man join this year who is40years old.” said Martineau.BILINGUAL The Sherbrooke Hussars are the second biggest armored reserve unit in Canada, the regiment prides itself on its bilingualism.Martineau said.Al- Burglary suspect caught SHERBROOKE — The Que bec Police Force SWAT team w as called in Tuesday morning to arrest a man wanted in connection with nearly 50 burglaries in Sherbrooke.Lennoxville and Granby.Robert Provencher.4L was arrested at a house in Bonsc-cours.near Granby.The SWAT team was called because police had received a tip that Proven-rhnr « -m armed, said QPF Cst.Tom McConnell.Provencher w as caught as he tried to flee out the back door.McConnell said.He w as not aimed.and was arrested without incident He was charged in Granby court Tuesday afternoon and sent to Cowansville jail pending a bail hearing.He may face more charges in Sher brooke.McConnell said.liiUU^tà AL vvua a AA A vAlliiy English-language regiment, it is now fully bilingual.“The people who come here can speak English or French, whichever they prefer.Many use their time here to try to learn the other language,” Martineau said.“If it worked as well in other places as it works here, it could really help the language situation." he added.Martineau said the reforms of the armed forces announced in Ottaw'a Tuesday may help the Hussars.The government will probably put more emphasis on reserve units as it tries to save money, he said.Defence Minister Marcel Masse announced that he wants to increase the reserves’ numbers from 29,000 to 40,000 (See pages 1, 2 and 4).The parade gets under way at 2 p.m.Saturday at Champs-de-Mars park.SIRLOIN STEAK Boneless, class A-1 kg.9.90 lb.4.49 TOUPIE HAM Boneless kg.4.39 lb.1.99 BONELESS ROAST PORK (S0C) 3.u » 1.75 CHICKEN BREASTS m >g so ».2.49 FRESH CHEESE CURDS taj .Î.39 BUTTERCUP SQUASH Eilra dry kg 1.08 lb.49 L0B0 APPLES 3.b bag 1.69 GREEN GRAPES kg 2.18 lb .99 F.B.I.LEMONADE i nue .68 REGINA VINEGAR 4 nue 1.57 AYLMER FRUIT COCKTAIL 284 m.96 McCAIN FRENCH FRIES i«i.1.29 135 Queen, Lennoxville Marche' Lennox Lennox Meat Market me.l I—l ilt' lti:< OKI)—Urilni'Mliiv.SrittrmlHT IN.HUM #1____ftgJ isecara i he Voice of the Kawtern I o>viishi[)H since 1ÎW7 Editoria Stop the granite-shop childishness “He did it first!" “No, ho did it first!” “I’m going to tell on you and you'll see." A childish squabble in the schoolyard?No.It’s what’s been happening at the Granite Centre in Graniteville for the past month.Joanne Sheldon admits her husband Robert, part-owner of the granite plant, lost it when he gave the tent trailer which contained strikers “a ride”.However, that was because she and her husband had been threatened, had rocks throwm at them and the electricity cut off twice.So where do we go from here?Easy.We get bigger guns.Last Saturday, the big guns came out.Sheldon’s house was fired upon by person or persons unknown.Luckily no one was injured.Now the police have a 24-hour watch over the house and Sheldon is adamant that he will not be coerced by anything the strikers or whoever do to him.“The only one I’m scared for is my wife." said Sheldon.“If they’re going to scare me — they'll have to kill me.” Them are fighting words, mister! You may ask yourself, what’s the beef?Hours.It seems the workers, all four of them, started the union to get shorter hours.The problem now is that they have been picketing in front of Sheldon's shop in 12-hour shifts since August.According to Sheldon, his workers get paid more than the local union wage because of the time it takes to train them.Sheldon and his foreman have been doing the work of the strikers and have not missed a shipment yet.Sheldon intends to keep working until the strikers give up.It could be two years before he is allowed to hire any new workers.Is there any reason for this fight?When it’s ail over the strikers will either have lost their jobs or will have done irreparable damage to employer/employee relations.As we become adults we learn to suppress our childish behavior and communicate in a positive and constructive way.The workers, as well as the boss of The Granite Centre, have displayed childishness that rivals the best schoolyard brawl.Instead of finger pointing, a mediator should be appointed to negotiate terms that will end this foolishness.Either that or sooner or later the granite blocks will serve as a tombstone for one of the belligerents.Let’s hope it will not come to that.TERESA POMERLEAU A female first for Quebec bench MONTREAL (CP) — The Quebec Court of Appeal has named an all-woman panel of judges for the autumn assizes.The court said it was a first in Canada.There wras a short round of spontaneous applause as the women took their places on the bench in Quebec’s top court.“It’s a first in Canada,’’ said Pierrette Rayle, of the Montreal Bar Association, as three sat down at the wide podium.Women judges are still scarce enough that it s not always possible to form a tribunal, explained Alice Coupai, secretary to Chief Justice Claude Bisson."No other appeal court in Canada has enough woman judges to make up a three-person panel,” she said.“We’re the first.” Justice Louise Mailhot, who will chair the panel, said she hopes the sight of an all-woman tribunal will soon become commonplace.“I hope it happens so often that people won't make a fuss about it any more.” she said.Justice Mailhot, 51, specialized in professional and human rights law in private practice in Montreal and also taught law in several universities.She was appointed to Quebec Superior Court in 1980 and to the Appeal Court in 1987.The other two judges sitting on the newly formed panel are justices Thérèse Rousseau-Houle and Christine Tourigny.Justice Tourigny, 48.practised in Quebec City and taught law at Laval University before going on to serve as Quebec’s associate deputy minister of justice.She became a Superior Court judge in 1985 and an Appeal Court justice in 1987.WAS DEAN Justice Rousseau-Houle, 51.was a professor and dean of law at Laval before being named to Superior Court in 1988 and the Appeal Court in 1990.The first case on the docket Monday involved a woman Paulette Giroux.50.of Maniwaki, was appealing a Quebec Superior Court decision rejecting her $20,000 claim for a work accident.“I feel a lot more comfortable pleading before women judges,” Giroux, who was acting on her own to save legal costs, said later.She also said she was delighted to have a role in such an historic occasion.“It proves wecan make our own way and take care of ourselves." Rayle, a counsellor with the Montreal Bar Association.said the move changes the court's image for the better.“We’re not saying this is going to turn the system upside down.” she said, adding it ’s a question of perception, “ft's known that the judgments, the perceptions, the experiences of women are not the same as those of men.Armed Forces: First the good news.By Alex Binkley OTTAWA (CP) — Defence experts offered cautious praise Tuesday for a plan to close the two Armed Forces bases in Europe, expand the navy’s fleet and give the army a new look.Opposition party spokesmen said the plan, unveiled by Defence Minister Marcel Masse at a news conference, was short on significance.They said its main purpose was to delay painful decisions on which bases in Canada must be closed.Masse said that Canada’s German bases at Baden-Soellingen and Lahr will be dosed by 1995 but 1100 well-equipped troops will remain in Europe.In announcing the new defence policy.Masse said the winding down of the Cold War means defence needs have changed.Overall, the Canadian military will be reduced, mostly though attrition, to 76,000 from 84.000 during the next three years.A thousand civilian jobs will be cut from the present workforce of 32,000.A three-member committee has been appointed to study ways of saving money on infrastructure.The group is to report within six months but isn’t to recommend closures of any of the 37 bases in Canada.The German base closures mark “the beginning of Canada’s withdrawal from an outmoded fighting role in Europe." said John Lamb of the Canadian Centre for Arms Control and Disarmament.But Canada must develop new forms of security cooperation through the United Nations, he added.Alex Morrison, executive director of the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies, said the plan will enable Canada to keep contributing to world peace."We are continuing to play all our international and national security roles and keeping our hand in everything.” said Morrison, a retired colonel.“The government’s intentions are good for an immediate defence policy and a big improvement over what had been rumored," said Raymond Creery, a retired navy captain and president of the Defence Education and Research Centre.Liberal defence critic Fred Mifflin.a retired rear admiral, said that while Masse’s announcement will bring some relief to the military — worried about its un certain future — it did little to resolve long-range problems facing the Armed Forces.He said the government is still trying to do more with less “kee- ping all of Canada’s basic military commitments.but with a reduction in 8000 military and 1000 civilian personnel from a workforce which is already stretched to the limit trying to meet all its responsibilities.” He welcomed creation of the committee to establish criteria for determining base closures in Canada.But it offers no guarantee of a speedy decision, he added.New Democrat defence critic John Brewin said the policy ignores the sweeping changes in Europe.“The government must conduct a thorough review with an analysis of the threats Canada faces.“All we have is the same policy as 10 years ago.” He said NATO has become obsolete and Canada must put more emphasis on UN peacekeeping.German Greens happy, merchants not The Canadian Press The other army boot has finally dropped.After months of rampant rumors.Defence Minister Marcel Masse announced Tuesday the closure of Canada’s two military bases in Germany.For many of the soldiers at the bases in Lahr and Baden-Soellingen it was bad news.But hardly a surprise.“I knew it was coming because of the rumors,” said Cpl.Dwight Smith of Pambrun, 60 kilometres from Swift Current, Sask.“But we’ve (his family) got our new car now and were going to go places before we have to go back to Canada.” Cpl.Scott Snyder of Brantford, Ont., was upset that the announcement threw a wrench into his plans.“Although this was talked about before, it makes it hard to live your life," he complained.“When exactly are we going back?” Outlining Canada’s new de- By Stephen Ward The C anadian Press Children of the Cold War, Canada’s two military bases in Germany have fallen victim to a thaw in the East-West tensions that gave them birth.Defence Minister Marcel Masse announced Tuesday that the bases at Lahr and Baden-Soellingen would both be closed by 1995.The number of Canadian Forces in Europe will be shaved to 1100 from the current level of 6600, saving $11 billion over 15 years."Generations of Canadian soldiers and airmen have worked closely with local civilian staff,” said Maj.-Gen.Brian Smith, commander of Canadian Forces Europe, as he discussed the closures Tuesday.“Severing these long standing relationships will not be easy.” Canada’s NATO commitment in Europe began in the chilling Cold War year of 1951, after Wins ton Churchill proclaimed the descending of an Iron Curtain across fence policy.Masse said the overall size of the Canadian Forces will be cut by 9.5 per cent in the next three years.Baden-Soellingen will close in 1994 and Lahr in 1995.As well, the number of soldiers and flyers in Europe will be cut to 1100 from the present level of 6,600, saving $11 billion over 15 years.Military personnel will be re-assigned to other units in Canada.FLEXIBLE FORCES Maj.-Gen.Brian Smith, commander of Canadian Forces Europe said Canada remains committed to NATO.“There are some difficult decisions required to implement this new defence policy.” he said Tuesday.“However, the policy will ensure Canada has flexible armed forces capable of defending Canadian sovereignty against a range of threats.” Smith said the future location of 1100 troops remaining in Europe is subject to negotiation with NA- Europe.Canadian troops were first placed in France and northern and southern Germany, with CFB Baden-Soellingen in operation by 1953.Their military job was to help western allies face the Soviet army should it invade western Germany.TRUDEAU CUTS By the end of the 1960s, then-prime minister Pierre Trudeau was determined to reduce the size of the Canadian military, while then-French president Charles de Gaulle removed France from NATO’s military command.Asa result, thenumberofCanadian soldiers in Europe was reduced from 10,000 to 4700 and concentrated in southwestern Germany By 1967, CFB Lahr was in operation.The army base near the Black Forest became an important supply link for the Canadian military, especially its peacekeeping efforts.It provided a vital supply line to Canadian forces during the Persian Gulf War against Iraq earlier this year.TO.Sources say it will be at an American or British NATO base in Germany.Other military officials at Lahr and Baden-Soellingen refused comment Tuesday.But a spokesman for NATO Secretary General Manfred Worner in Brussels had cautious praise for Masse s defence policy.“Canada's decision to maintain forces in Europe is a clear indication of its commitment to the alliance,” said the NATO spokesman.The announcement means that some Canadian civilian journalists working at the two bases must now find other work.“The biggest thing is that we now have a real limit to work with, instead of rumors,” said radio broadcaster Peter Skinner.“I'll just have to find a job in Canada before I return.” STRIKE HARD The economic effect of the closures is only beginning to dawn on the business community in the area of the two bases.Baden-Soellingen developed as a smaller air force base, and is currently home to two squardrons of CF-18 lighter jets.In the 1970s, the trend towards reductions was reversed.The number of troops in Europe once again climbed with military and civilian personnel exceeding 17,()()() in the late 1980s.“It seems sad that all this (bases) will soon become history.” said Monica Cloake.the wife of a Lahr army officer and native of Toronto.“For years, Canadians have been able to work with Germans and vice versa.“I wonder what signs of Canada will be here if we came back in another 10 years.” DEFICIT GROWS The heady growth days of the ’70s and early 80s wouldn't last.Talk of cutbacks surfaced again when the federal deficit ballooned in the late 1980s.And when communist regimes were toppled across Eastern Europe, the talk was not of reductions but wholesale elimination of bases.The total cost of Canada’s military operations in Europe is about $1.2 billion a year.The Canadian presence in Germany is worth $578 million annually to the German economy.“It will really strike this area hard,” said Canadian Karl Be-lyea.62.who runs an insurance company in downtown Lahr.Over 90 per cent of his business is with Canadians and Belyea, a former military officer, plans to stay open until the last Canadians have gone home.“I can see layoffs, less business and German people who won t be able to pay for their houses without their well-paid Canadian tenants,” he said.In contrast, the announcement thrilled Elfriede Stein, head of Lahr’s Green party.The group campaigned against the Canadian military in Germany.“This makes us very happy,” she said.“We have nothing against men and women from Canada but the base can serve a much better civilian function than a military one,” said Stein.MONTHS OF RUMOR The two bases — home to most Canadian military personnel in Europe — have endured months of rumor as Ottawa struggled to come up with a defence policy.Baden-Soellingen, which has over 1,000 military personnel, has two squadrons of CF-18 fighter jets while nearby Lahr has about 5,000 mainly army soldiers.The overall Canadian community in the area of the two bases — including soldiers’ families and civilian employees — is over 16,000.Baden-Soellingen opened as a Canadian base in 1953 while the Lahr base goes back to 1967.Amid the official statements Tuesday, some soldiers stoically fell back on an old military line.“There were no surprises,” said a lieutenant-colonel in Lahr.“I just salute and do what I'm told to do." — Stephen Ward The fate of the bases hung in the balance for months as Ottawa struggled with the new defence policy finally announced Tuesday.A hint ot what was to come was the cut of 1400 positions at Lahr and Baden-Soellingen last year.Last June, I’rirne Minister Brian Mulroney announced that ( anada would retain a presence in Europe bill even more reductions were planned.The Aug.I!) failed coup in Moscow which temporarily put Communist hardliners in the Kremlin threatened to derail Ottawa's plans.But the collapse of communism in the Soviet Union in the aftermath of the coup put the plans back on track.“I'm not sure how I feel,” said a senior Canadian military officer at NATO headquarters in Brussels."I’m both happy to see military reductions yet sad to seethe bases close."We can continue to hold our head high because we carried out our job."

Do not say TD on something just so that you don't have to do it.If you do that, your teacher will not trust your judgement in the future.In addition to a communication system, a homework desk is important.If your home does not permit you a separate homework desk, ask your mom if you can use the kitchen table at a certain time of the early afternoon or after supper.Try to do the homework at the same time of day and in the same place.This routine will help you do it well.Most of you have brothers and sisters.It may be difficult to do your homework in a place where you are all alone and have privacy.If that is the case, learn to do it in spite of background noise and others talking.Practice makes perfect.If you practice doing homework, the more practice you give yourself, the less difficult doing it will be.Remember your teacher is your best helper in setting homework that is fair and educational foryou.Ask your teacher for help if you find yourself overwhelmed with homework.Yearn to learn all types of study skills.Study skills help you throughout your life.Centennial Theatre presents Soapdish ¦Wednesday, September 19.7 p.m.and 9:30 p.m.at Centennial Theatre, Soapdish, with Sally Field and Kevin Kline.Soapdish is something the movies rarely attempt: a flat-out farce, all slamming doors, thrown objects, misplaced emotions and terrific timing by a wonderful ensemble of actors.(Time) They all play and live on the set of a soap opera where life contrives to imitate trashy art with marvelous fidelity.$5.50 per film.IDntil October 4, (Tuesdays to Fridays, 11 a.m.to 3 p.m.; Thursday evenings, 7 to 9 p.m.) The Bishop's Uni-versity-Champlain College Art Gallery is pleased to invite the public to an exhibition by Sherbrooke artist Mario PouHot entitled Shin : "En Temps et Lieux".This exhibition attests to the close relationship of time to the creative loneliness of a dreamer.Time taken from time confined, enchased and tangible.Mr.Pouliot sets time in its true space by means of play and complicity of forms, colors and materials juggling with the space of ground and setting.¦BISHOPS UNIVERSITY < vO 0 Î.V Si £ r ¦Friday, September 30, 2 p.m., Bishop's University Men’s Rugby at Concordia.¦Friday, September 20.8 p.m., Bishop's University Men s Soccer at McGill.¦Saturday, September 21.1 p.m., The Bishop’s Gaiters will play the Concordia Stingers in Lennoxville.¦Sunday, September 22.3 p.m., Bishop's University Men’s Soccer at Concordia.¦Sunday, September 22, time to be announced, Bishop’s University Women’s Rugby will play the McGill-A and the Concordia teams in Lennoxville.Bishops’ Big Buddies ready to volunteer Newsletter from Mansonville Elementary School MANSONVILLE (BN)— September 4, 1991; Dear parents.students (and friends): Welcome back.We are about to begin what should be an exci-ting year of growth and change, both in our student population and the school itself.School Renovation: We are pleased to report a government grant of $350,()()() to renovate our building and to upgrade for the future.Briefly, we will be installing a new roof, windows, furnace, ceilings and an elevator.Details will follow' as well as a breakdown for the dates of completions.Consumable Fee: A consumable fee of $30.00 uhll again be required to offset costs of materials for the children.Please forward the funds as soon as possible.Footwear: Students are requested to again have inside and outside shoes to ensure we have a clean and safe environment.Physical Education: There will be a formal Physical Educational program this year taught by Mr.Mackenzie and to this end we would require all students to have gym shoes, T-shirt, sweat pants or shorts.The reason being that freedom of movement is essential for an active child and a change of clothing would also ensure cleanliness.Recycling Program: Susan Bushe will again be running the recycling program for the school and the environment.Drinking Water: All children are asked to bring a drinking cup (and their own water, if they wish) to use for the bottled water supplied by the school.Chocolate Milk: will cost 40 cents.Supplies: The following prices will apply to supplies sold at the school: Pencils - 20 cents; Erasers-20cents; Notebooks - 50 cents.Emergency Form: Please fill in the Emergency Form and return to the school as soon as possible.This form is vital for our school records.Walking Students: Students walking to school should NOT arrive here before 7:45 a.m.as there is no supervision until that time.New Appointments: Margaret Hopps will be taking the Kindergarten post this year.Welcome, Mrs.Hopps!

1990 for the seventh year to the lowest number since 1974, Statistics Canada reported today.The number of people charged last year — 112,925 —- was the lowest since 1974, when the government first started collecting national statistics on impaired driving.That figure is down five per cent from 1989.The number of charges laid in 1990 also represented a 30 per cent drop from 1981 — the peak year for impaired driving offences.A total of 162,000 charges were laid that year.Statistics Canada says further evidence of the downward trend is shown in the percentage of fatally injured drivers found to have blood-alcohol levels over the legal limit.In 1981.more than half or 52 per cent of drivers surpassed the limit In 1989, the figure had dropped to 36 per cent.Ninety-one per cent of people charged with drinking and driving were men.All provinces and territories recorded a decline last year in the number of impaired driving charges, with the exception of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Saskatchewan.Newfoundland recorded the biggest drop — 18 per cent.In the report, an impaired driving offence is defined as impaired operation of a vehicle, boat or plane; impaired driving causing death or bodily harm and charges arising from a refusal to give a breath or blood sample.Saskatchewan and Alberta continued to have the highest impaired driving rates while Quebec and Ontario recorded the lowest.A total of 127 people were charged with impaired driving causing death in 1990 — the lowest number since the offence was written into the law in 1985.But the number of people charged with impaired driving causing bodily harm —1.147 — was up slightly over the 1989 figure.Drunk drivers decline By The Canadian Press People charged with impaired driving declined in 1990.TREND: lowest

Living Ethnic elderly aided by multicultural group By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press Gopal and Shanti Panday’s 50th wedding anniversary had all the trappings of a full-scale celebration at the United Nations.Along with family members, nearly 150 of the couple’s newfound friends from all over the world were on hand to toast and congratulate the Winnipeg couple.As president of Ethos, the Multicultural Seniors Coalition of Manitoba, the 67-year-old Gopal, who emigrated to Canada in 1983.invited to the party in August fellow Ethos members from the city’s various cultural groups.“All of us have much in common,” says the retired social worker and father of five.“We are all now living in a new country, we come from different cultures but we have so much to share.” Ethos — a word from ancient Greek meaning “the fundamental spiritual characteristics of a culture” — got its start in 1989 when 500 seniors from diverse ethnic backgrounds attended a picnic at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg that was organized by the Manitoba Coun- cil on Aging.CAN BE ISOLATED Victoria Graefe, coordinator for Ethos, says seniors who have recently moved to Canada can be isolated by language and cultural barriers from the rest of the community.Groups like Ethos, she says, assist other social service agencies in reaching seniors in this situation.About 6,000 elderly people immigrate to Canada each year.Roughly 500,000 of Canada’s three million seniors were born outside the country.Graefe says that if Canadians facing retirement think they are having a difficult time adjusting, consider the problems of those who move halfway around the world to retire in a country where languages, foods, religions and values are foreign.“That’s what many seniors who have immigrated to this country to be with their families or to escape poor living conditions must face,” says the 27-year-old Graefe.NEEDS DIFFER Until recently, there was little or no recognition that the needs of aging immigrants differ from those of people born and raised in Canada, says Mi-lada Disman, an associate professor at the University of Toronto.Disman has completed a report for Health and Welfare Canada on aging and ethnicity.“When I think of disadvantaged groups, I can think of none more disadvantaged than the ethnic elderly,” she said.“They do not have a voice, they have no advocacy.” Disman noted that to qualify for the federal old age pension a person must live in Canada for 10 years.This policy cuts out many older immigrants who come to this country late in life to join their children.“This often means that the elderly immigrant does not have enough money to live on.” Panday agrees, saying "the major problem for this group is financial.“They often have to depend on their children.With no money you can’t go out and join the community.” GET INVOLVED And this is where groups such as Ethos come in, says It offers events such as the multicultural fashion show during the summer, when immigrants like 101-year-old Sun-Bok Moon had the chance to model his native Korean clothing, accompanied by his great-grandchildren.Moon, a retired farmer who can speak only his native tongue, came to live with his one daughter, five grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren in 1978.Since joining Ethos early this year, he has decided to learn English.Ethos is also a self-help support group, Graefe adds.“We have a drop-in cafe three afternoons a week.It’s quite something to see a gentle-man from Pakistan show another from Vietnam how to fill out a Canadian income tax form — especially when neither one can speak English.“But it seems that no matter if they are German, Hindu, Pakistani, Vietnamese, Spanish, Portuguese or Italian, they get along wonderfully.” Judy Creighton welcomes letters at The

Shat-tock is a pharmacist on a crusade to explain autism, to understand why children like his 20-year-old son, Jamie, are so profoundly aloof and socially inept.After nearly seven years of research at England’s Sunderland Polytechnic School of Pharmaceutical and Chemical Sciences, meetings with other scientists, and international conferences with other parents of autistic children, Shattock says he may have found a significant clue.He has detected abnormally elevated protein-derivatives, called peptides, in autistic chil-dren’s urine which, he believes, is a reflection of chemical malfunctions in the body.Shattock, a senior lecturer in pharmaceutical chemistry and researcher at a branch of the National Autistic Society, has earned respect in a field in which he lacks the usual academic credentials of a medical doctor or PhD.“I prefer not to be branded as a well-meaning father out to cure his son.” he said.Shattock believes defects in chemicals that send messages between brain cells cause the lack of communication and absence of social awareness in autistic children.This notion of a biological basis for autism is accepted in the scientific community.Many investigators and psychiatrists agree that autism is a brain disease, not a result of upbringing or emotional trauma.In an interview at the headquarters of England’s National Autistic Society in London, Shattock talked about his latest discovery, published in the journal Brain Dysfunction, in May.He detected abnormal peptides in the urine of 21 of 25 autistic people.These urinary peptides were not found in 25 healthy people.Peptides, consisting of amino acids, are the building blocks of proteins.Although excessive peptides have been detected in the urine of children with Down’s syndrome, Shattock said the peptide peaks he found seemed to be unique for autism.Though the study is small, it offers preliminary evidence to a biological basis of autism, he said.Dr.Karl Reichelt, a senior research fellow' at the Pediatric Research Institute in Norway’s University of Oslo, said Shattock’s findings add to his work on peptide abnormalities in autistic children.PROTEIN LINK Reichelt is convinced the kind of peptides that turn up in the urine of autistic children come from defects in digesting certain food proteins.The residual unmetabolized food products can affect brain function, he said.He thinks autistic children lack an enzyme to dismantle specific proteins in milk and grains.To test his hypothesis, he put 15 autistic children on diets of very little milk or grains.His results, published last year in the Journal of Applied Nutrition, showed that after one year of adhering to the diet, teachers and parents reported that the vast majority of children had “increased social contact, an end to self- Nctv (3egimun At our Iris Dining Room LUNCHEON BUFFET Potage, Salad Bar Choice of 4 Hot Plates Variety of Desserts, Coffee s895 SEPTEMBER PROMOTION Try our famous "Trio" (beef, chicken,

head-banging, and a decrease in ‘dreamy-state’ periods.” Nine children had improved eye contact, seven had better attention spans, and seven were less restless.Six children who had used only single-syllable words started to speak in short sentences after one year.Two mute children started to use single words and phrases.Reichelt said.Three children, he noted, didn’t show behavioral changes but they had decreased urinary peptides, which suggests the abnormal urinary peptides come from the food.MISSING ENZYMES This study suggests that the genetic predisposition to autism is a defect or absence of certain enzymes that break down peptides in certain foods.He points to a specific milk protein that remains intact in autistic children.Eventually, the protein is partially broken into peptides which are flushed out in the urine.“What we are suggesting is that the genetic predisposition to autism is a defector absence of certain peptidases, enzymes that break down peptides,” Reichelt said.“There’s no doubt of an organic basis to autism,” said Dennis Whitehouse.a pediatrician at Johns Hopkins University and former director of the university’s clinic for autistic children and adults.But he’s skeptical about diet therapies, many of which have seemed promising and later failed He said the peptide clue is intriguing, but the solution may be much more complicated.Instead of trying to find a tiny peptide abnormality and trace the peptide from urine to the brain, he said it may be more effective to search directly for the disturbed brain signal and trace that down to a peptide abnormality.Réal’s Photo ' a Identify this village situated in Compton County and you could be the next winner of Réal Photo Quiz.A dri wing will be held from all the correct answers received

turn heads.But when she looks at herself, she may as well be peering in a fun-house mirror.She sees a fat person.Early in her 10-year modelling career, Alt starved to a size 4.The photographers loved it.But the sacrifices of semistarvation left scars.She is recovering from anorexia and bulimia, and she has an ulcer.“I have a spastic colon.I have colitis.I throw up a lot.If I’m not throwing up, I either have diarrhea or constipation.“I don’t have normal eating habits,” Alt adds.“I’m afraid if I sit down and eat three meals — like somebody could eat eggs and toast for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch and go out for a steak and baked potato for dinner and be fine — if I ate that.1 know 1 would gain weight.I just know I would.” SHE SURVIVED Christine Alt is lucky.For one thing, she survived her walk on the line between living and dying for the sake of fashion’s ideal of female beauty.Estimates are that anorexia results in death for a third of its sufferers.”1 feel like I freed myself from those chains — the guilt of, ’Oh my God, I missed a workout.I’ve got to definitely go tomorrow'.’ I don’t feel like that any more,” she said over a diet cola with lemon.“If I don't go running, fine.And if I do go running, hey, more power to me.” Alt also is at work on a second successful modelling career.The younger sister of cover girl Carol Alt now works as a large-size model, though that description seems far-fetched when you see Christine Alt, a well-proportioned 160 or so pounds.Ironically, these days she has to make sure not to lose weight, or she’ll lose work.Still, at 28, she worries that it gets harder to shed weight.NOTHING INSIDE Recently, somebody told her she looked close to death in her old modelling photos.“When you’re that thin, you just don’t have any life to you,’ said Alt.“I was hollow.There was nothing inside, so 1 had no personality.” Singer Karen Carpenter died in 1983 because of her eating disorders.Christine Alt appears in a new documentary The Famine Within, and talks about her reaction to magazine covers showing an emaciated Carpenter.“1 was wondering how' I could get that skinny without dying,” she said.In her book The Beauty Myth.Naomi Wolf reports that models of a generation ago weighed eight per cent less than the average North Ameri can woman, BEGAN TO EAT Despite how thin she did get, Alt wasn’t satisfied with her ca reer and moved to Texas, where modelling work was more plentiful for her.In 1985, she began to eat and to stop throwing up, and what may have saved her life cost her her career.She credits friends for helping her avoid hospitalization or death, but says she gained too much weight, hitting 185 pounds by the time she returned to her fa mily’s Long Island home the next year.It turned out, however, that her career wasn't over.At home, she slowly lost about 20 pounds.And then, one weekend when she was helping her sister at a models’ conic rence, someone asked if she’d like to be a model.“I was kind of insulted that she wanted me to be a large model, but in another way I was flattered, because 1 knew’ 1 was large,” Alt said.“I knew I wasn’t skinny, but for her to think I w as pretty even though I was large was very flattering.” Now she’s represented by the Ford agency and works more than she did thin.She’s going to a homeopathic nutritionist in an effort to learn to eat and feel healthier.She became engaged in July, and she and her fiance recently bought a house to fix up."I’m sure he would like me to be thinner, hut he wants me to be happy first.He would rat her me be happy than be thin.” But when asked what she sees in the mirror.Alt imme diatcly replies, "A fat person.” riii- KKCOKD—WrdiH-sday.SrptrmbtT IS.IM'il - V Farm and Business #¦___ uecora High dollar is wreaking havoc on exporters By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) — The high Canadian dollar and a sluggish U.S.market will cut exports in 1991 by 1.6 per cent from last year, the Conference Board of Canada said Tuesday.“The strength of the Canadian dollar against the U.S.dollar is a concern for exporters,” the economic think-tank said in a report.But the board says the outlook is better for 1992, when it expects exports will climb by 6.3 per cent to about $153 billion.“The healthy increase will come about as the United States — Canada's largest trading partner — begins to recover from its recent recession.'' the board said in its 1991-92 trade outlook.But the forecast calls for reduced exports of $143.9 billion this year.The Canadian dollar, at about 88 cents US, is trading at its highest level in more than a year and is close to an 11-year high.A high dollar makes goods such as lumber more expen- sive for foreign customers, but gives Canadians more buying power for imports such as oranges or VCRs.Clem Srour, spokesman for the Canadian Exporters’ Association.said companies which live on foreign sales are seeing their black ink turn red.“This doesn't bode well for the economy as a whole,” said Srour."The dollar is wreaking havoc." The association has used a rule of thumb that every penny rise in the value of the dollar costs the country $1.3 billion in Lumber dispute heating up By Laura Eggertson WASHINGTON (CP) - If the United States retaliates against Canada’s decision to drop a 15 per cent export tax on softwood lumber, it could “seriously undermine” trade relations between the two countries, Canadian Ambassador Derek Burney said Tuesday.He made the comments in a letter to U.S.Senator Max Bau-cus, a Democrat from Montana who is urging President George Bush to slap an import tax on the Canadian lumber.“Any unilateral imposition of trade restrictions which violates your bilateral and international trade obligations would seriously undermine the fundamental trade relationships between the United States and Canada,” warned Burney's letter.“Canada expects that the United States will respect fully these obligations.” A longstanding dispute over the value of Canadian softwood lumber erupted again earlier this month when Canada announced it was terminating a 1986 Memorandum Of Understanding, or MOU.The memorandum, reluctantly agreed to by Canada to avoid a threatened U.S.duty, slapped 15 per cent on Canadian lumber exports.BOARDS CHEAPER Until the mid-1980s, cheaper Canadian boards were shoring up U.S.housing construction and Americans claimed the Canadian government was unfairly subsidizing its softwood lumber industry.Up to 30.000 American jobs at sawmills were lost to the Carla-dian competition, the industry said.Americans, including Bau-, eus, still claim Canadian stum-page fees — the price provinces charge lumber companies to cut trees on Crown land — are a subsidy.In a Sept.10 letter to Bush, Baucus calls the Canadian decision to end the agreement on Oct.4 “outrageous and highly provocative.” “With the MOU gone, a flpod of subsidized timber is likely to flow in from Canada,” said the senator.“U.S.mills will once again close and American workers will once again lose their jobs.” He also questioned the value _of Canada’s wgrd and the wisdom of allowing Canada into a North American free-trade deal currently being negotiated.But in his own blunt missive.Burpey insists there is no subsidy in Canada — “even by U.S.standards.” Revenues to provincial governments in British Columbia.Quebec, Alberta and Ontario all exceed'their expenses, says the Canadian ambassador.And Canada is merely exercising a right both governments agreed to by ending the agi'eement.after giving a month’s notice.‘THs neither fair nor accurate to claim that Canada is violating the MOU or breaking its word, or acting in bad faith,” Burney says.Canadian lumber will not flood into the United States, he argues, since qhanges in the way provinces conduct the lumber business mean 80 per cent of Canadian exports aren't subject to the tax anyway.The lumber industry should be subject to the free-trade agreement and to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, just as our other trade matters between the two countries, Burney said.Alberta strawberry farms reaping handsome profits By Dan Healing Edmonton Sun EDMONTON (CP) —A sweet dream is bearing fruit literally on the Galloway farm near Edmonton.While most Canadian farmers are squeezing the government just to break even, the Galloways of Fort Saskatchewan predict they'll pick between $6,()()() and $8,()()() clear profit from a one-acre (0.4-hectare) patch of 12,()()() strawberry plants.They planted the patch last year.The plants produce in their second, third and fourth years before being replaced.“If you were in grain, you'd lose (money) on one acre this year,” said Berried Treasures partner Jacqueline Galloway.And even when grain prices were higher a few years ago, the most a farmer would earn from an acre of wheat would be about $200, she said.The Galloways are cashing in on a discovery that has “U-I’ick” signs sprouting like weeds on Alberta back roads.City folk are eager to pay well for fresh farm produce.Tam Volk, a director for the Alberta Market Gardeners Association.said the group had only 30 members when it was formed about seven years ago.Now there are over 100 selling fresh fruit and vegetables.Industry figures show Alberta producers sell about $2.7-million worth of berries per year, she said.MANY IMITATORS “We started (growing strawberries) five years ago and I think at that time there were only two or three across the entire province.” Now there are nearly 100 in Alberta and about 30 near Edmonton, she said.Volk, the owner of Prairie Gardens and Greenhouses near Bon Accord, said she’s had a four-year average yield of about 3,100 kilograms per acre (including the nonproductive first year) which adds up to a profit of about $6,000 per acre per year.But she cautioned it is a high-risk crop which can easily be wiped out by frost, heavy rain, hail or weeds.And the Alberta Hail and Crop Insurance Corp.doesn’t yet offer adequate coverage, she said.At Berried Treasures, customers are so eager to pick, the waiting list was as long as 75 names in the summer.That’s convinced Jacqueline and her partner Einda Galloway (their husbands are cousins and fourth-generation grain farmers) to expand acreage and products.“We might put in four more acres next year.” Jacqueline said.They're experimenting with selling dried flowers as well.SELL JAM And, at the farmers’ market in Fort Saskatchewan, they’ve bad success selling strawberry jam, strawberries dipped in chocolate and strawberry fruit leather.Volk said studies show a po pulation base of about 1

avoid giving declarer a ruff and discard.However, like all pieces of bridge advice, this has its exceptions.When should you concede a ruff and discard?The answer is: when the discard cannot help declarer, and broaching a new suit instead will cost your side a trick.Or when declarer’s trumps are weak and cannot stand the attack from a ruff and discard.But how do you recognize these occasions?In the former case, usually by counting out the hand.In the latter, by seeing that you are not going to get any more tricks in the side-suits, so your only chance for extra tricks lies in the trump suit.The Dutch pair Bep Vriend and Carla Arnolds, who finished third in last year's World Women's Pairs Championship, spotted the right moment for a ruff and discard on today’s hand, taken from this year’s European Women’s Championship.Four spades looks like an easy contract to fulfill, with only one spade loser and two club losers.And that was how it looked to East, Vriend, when the dummy was tabled.With so few points missing, it seemed that declarer had no red-suit losers.The only chance for the defense lay in the trumps So Vriend won the first trick with the club king, cashed the club ace and led a third club, even though she knew she was conceding a ruff and discard.Declarer ruffed in the dummy and called for a spade.Vriend shot up with the ace and led another club.This promoted a trick for West’s spade jack, defeating the contract.At the right moment, giving a ruff and discard is the best defense.© 1991, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE Wednesday, Sept.18,1991

away in the BMP Hospital on August 25.1991 after being a patient there just five days but failin, in health for several months.Lottie was born March 5,1905 at St.Ignace de Stanbridge, the younger daughter of Arthur Casey and Minnie Grenier.After the death of her father, her mother came to live in Bedford in 1908.Lottie attended Bedford High School, then in 1923 she graduated as an elementary teacher from Macdonald College.She taught in Stanbury, Mystic, Scotstown, Way’s Mills and on the Kidge.In 1932 she went into the Tor-rington Needle Plant where she worked until 19H7.Due to injuries

brother-in-law in 1984, leaving her sister, Marion Oakes to mourn her loss alone.Lottie’s main interest in life was her church.She was a great supporter of it in all phases.She served her Lord in the Sunday School for over 50 years.Her interest in children was very rewarding and many of the ones she taught in Sunday School and public schools still remember her lovingly.She was always very interes- ted in handicraft and her fingers were always busy making articles for the U.C.W.bazaars, some of her baby knitting found its way to England and Brazil.The many callers at the Dion Funeral Home, the lovely flowers and the many memorial gifts to ‘her” church showed the esteem of the congregation and her many friends.She leaves her sister Marion Oakes to mourn her passing as well as many close friends.The funeral service was held from the Dion Funeral Home to the United Church on Tuesday.August 27, Rev.Vicki Cowan officiating.A choir made up of old friends and Sunday School pupils led m the singing of “The Lord is my Shepherd”, “What a Friend we have in Jesus” and "Sometimes a Light Suprises’’ which was a favourite of Lottie’s.Miss Arpin was the organist.The bearers were Ralph Gilman, Harold Soles, Jack Soles, Hans Kaiser, Mario Sa-lois and Richard Martin.Inter ment in the Bedford Protestant Cemetery beside her mother.Those attending from out of town were Mr.and Mrs.James Waterman

Next season, the Baltimore Orioles, another small market team, will be moving into a new park in the downtown Camden area of the city NEW HOMES Detroit.Milwaukee.Texas and possibly San Francisco all figure to be in new.revitalized homes by 1995.Meanwhile, the only spectacular thing about Olympic Stadium is the awesome size of the chunks of cement which fell from its side.Though the structure is only 15 years old.when water teems down in the r u n w a y f r o m the ho m e clubhouse to the visitors’ loekerroom.one senses it is more like a condemned building.When the Expos first moved into Olympic Stadium, from the cosy but unsuitable Jarry Park, in 1977, the novelty effect of their new home enabled them to derive attendance benefits.But they also gained new fans that way.and when the ball club suddenly- matured into a contender m the late 1970s.they attracted more than two million suppor ters.The erection of a made for baseball stadium at tins point in the Expos’ history could have a similar effect The team has hit the skids in the standings and has nowhere to go but up.and plans for a new stadium could coincide with a rise in the standings, restoring the Iran ehise to its glory days, as well as bringing people into the sagging downtown core of the city.And what should become of the elaborate but irightenin gly flawed structure the Ex pos now call home?It s so breathtaking to observe as its slanted tower and mast domi nate the city’s skyline, per haps it should simply be a too list attraction, viewed, of course, from a safe distance Call it The Leaning Tower of Visa as a reminder of the stadium’s everlasting debt to taxpayers.And use a share of the proceeds from its tourist value to help defray the cost of a downtown stadium.cause, as dub president John Montreal's Olympic Stadium under construction in IV76: let's call it the Leaning Tower of Visa.> *v ?Keenan fires bull’s-eye in Cup win Suspended Nixon got second chance said Tuesday he wasn’t aware By Neil Stevens The Canadian Press Mike Keenan stuck to his guns and he wound up shooting a Canada Cup bull’s-eye again.While the coaching bullets he fired during the last six weeks shredded the egos of some established stars like Steve Yzer-man, it is impossible to criticize the final result: another championship for Canada in the world’s premier hockey tournament.“The coaching staff was criticized for some of the player selections we made but I never had one moment of doubt." Keenan said in the aftermath of a title-clinching 4-2 victory Monday night over the United States.“This was a heck of a group of committed athletes and I'm extremely proud of them.“There were a lot of controversies and distractions that they had to overcome, as well as playing every night under the pressure of being expected to win.” PRINCE RUPERT, B.C.(CP ) — Sports fishermen in this north-coastal B.C.community take pride in their catch-and-release program.Fish are caught using barbless hooks, so after a fisherman has enjoyed the thrill of landing his catch, the hook can easily be removed leaving the fish free to swim off to fight another day.But one local alderman says Sport shorts OTTAWA (CP) - Running back Tim Tindale of the University of Western Ontario was the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union's Football Player of the Week ending Sept.15, it was announced Tuesday.The sophomore from London, Ont., carried the ball 11 times for 255 yards and four touchdowns as Western romped 52-28 over York Yeomen in an OUAA contest.MONTREAL (CP) — The Hartford Whalers acquired centre Andrew Cassels-from the Montreal Canadiens on Tuesday for a second-round draft pick.Cassels collected more than 130 points two straight years in junior hockey and averaged more than a point per game in the American Hockey League two seasons ago.Last year with the Canadiens, he had six goals and 19 assists in 54 At times.Canada's tournament games seemed incidental to the sideshows.UNDER FIRE Keenan came under fire for releasing high-scoring forwards Yzerman and Joe Sa-kic: some were incensed at Keenan when Mark Messier, who had gone golfing instead of attending training camp, was parachuted in tw?o days before the start of the tournament; Canada Cup teammates Scott Stevens and Brendan Shanahan switched NHL teams in a stunning tree-agent compensation ruling; and teenage phe-nom Eric Lindros’s appearance in Quebec City overshadowed Canada’s ’showdowm with the Soviet Union.The rapid-fire goings-on.however, served to speed the evolution of a winning chemistry among Canada's players.Keenan said from the start that it was vital to have a lunch-bucket brigade to back up finesse players such as Wayne Gretzky.Brent Sutter, Rick the practice amounts to cruelty.“Catch-and-release is as cruel as dog baiting,” said Aid.Foster Husoy.“They’re fighting the steel-head until they’re almost dead and then they release them.That's cruelty to dumb animals." He persuaded council last week to ask the SPCA to investigate.games.He had two assists in eight playoff games.Cassels, the Canadiens’ first-round draft choice in 1987, was the Ontario Hockey League rookie of the year in 1987 and OHL player of the year in 1988.TORONTO (CP) — Doug Flu-tie had an expansive weekend among expanded scores in the CFL last weekend, earning top offensive player honors in the weekly awards after directing B.C.Lions to a 36-23 victory over the Winnipeg Blue Bombers.The lowest scoring game of the two-day schedule produced 57 points — Calgary’s 33-24 victory over the Toronto Argonauts Flutie completed 17 of 29 passes for 343 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two TDs.It marked the seventh game the Lions pivot has thrown for 300-pius yards.Tocchet.Shayne Corson.Dirk Graham and others, in the end.were vital components."Dirk Graham got a lot of criticism for being on the team at the start but he's a solid, two-way player.” said Lindros.It was Graham who.with the score tied 2-2 in the finale and with the Canadians griping at one other on the bench, delivered a brief speech during the second intermission that straightened out a few heads.Canada then went out and played its best period of the tournament.Gretzky’s role was pivotal.He proved he still has many good .vears left.PROVES HIMSELF Lindios showed he indeed will be a superstar in the NHL.whenever or wherever that might be.And Canada could not have won without some spectacular goaltending by Bill Ranford, who surely must now have cemented a No.1 position in Edmonton.It is the latest step in a dispute in which sport fishermen claim the commercial gillnet fishery at the mouth of the Skeena River is wiping out steelhead stocks.Steelhead are large North American rainbow-trout.Commercial fishermen reply by saying the anglers — who they say are mostly rich tourists from the United States — are trying to close down their industry.The charge of cruelty enrages Jim Culp, a spokesman for the sport fishing coalition represented mainly by the newly formed Skeena Watershed Sportsfishermen’s Association.“He (Husoy) is absolutely nuts.” Culp said.TORTURE FISH “That motion passed because they (council) think we re out there torturing fish."Did he ever realize that when the commercial fishermen throw a fish in a hold it takes an hour to two hours to die an agonizing death — talk about cruelty." Culp denies the coalition wants to put commercial fishermen out of business but insists the main reason steelhead stocks are low is the gillnetters at the mouth of the Skeena River.The commercial industry must undertake major changes to prevent the stocks from disappearing.he said.Some of the coalition’s proposed changes would require a complete restructuring of the industry.In addition to having steelhead declared solely a sport fish, the coalition wants the commercial fishery to move It is important, too.to recognize the contributions of the unsung heroes of this team: — Modest right winger Steve Larmer.proved himself one of hockey’s best two-way players with a beautiful, winning breakaway goal — short-handed to top things off.— Defenceman Larry Murphy’s poise on the blue line translated to not a single mistake in eight games.So.the players dispersed, went their separate ways and took with them a gold medal and new friendships that will last forever.Keenan goes back to coaching the Chicago Blackhawks.He'll continue shooting for a Stanley Cup.And four or five years from now.when another Canada Cup rolls around and if he's still coaching.Keenan will again be the man called upon — and deservedly so — to ensure that Canada retains its status as the No.1 hockey power in the world.awray from the river mouth, leaving a net-free corridor for migrating salmon.It also w'ants gillnets to be outlawed.arguing that other fishing methods are more species-selective.Gillnetter Art Sterrit.a spokesman for two native fishing organizations that represent about 60 per cent of the river-mouth fishermen, says the coalition has no right to dictate to natives where and how' they can fish.ASSERTS RIGHTS “We have first rights to the fish and they’re not going to take that away from us." Skeena steelhead stocks are not declining because of the commercial gillnetters.Sterrit said, but because of the sports anglers.Commercial fishermen have worked the river for 100 years without wiping out any species, he said, but the steelhead began to decline only after the Skeena became a target for recreational anglers."The decline in the stocks is directly connected to the sports fishermen moving in and cleaning up those stocks," Sterrit said.“I’ve seen guys go back day after day catching the same fish.To me.as a native fishermen.that’s sacreligious — we don’t play with game."

The CFL has been running — and supporting — the Ottawa franchise since the club's board of directors resigned July 24.CFL commissioner Donald Crump said there are five groups still interested in the franchise Two other parties of it.Club president Stan Fasten wouldn't say if he knew Nixon, who will miss the remainder of the regular season and any post-season play, returned to Atlanta late Monday night.He made a brief comment at San Francisco’s airport, saying: ’ It's so mething that really hurts.” He avoided reporters in Atlanta by taking a car tl s waiting for him on the tarmac.Neither Nixon nor his agent.Joe Sroba.could be contacted Tuesday .-Baseball officials said the July test was the first positive result they recalled that did not lead to disciplinary action.Nixon, who underwent rehabi Ration in 1987 following a drug-related arrest in Buffalo, N.Y., is one of fewer than two dozen players subject to testing.Several officials in the commissioner’s office said they were encouraging Nixon to enter rehabilitation again.Because Nixon was suspended without pay he will lose $67.500 of his $585.000 salary this year.group not in Riders have already dropped out of the picture.The delay in selling the club has caused grumbles in some corners of the league."The problem is every day that goes by there's more money being spent,” said Phil Kershaw, vice-chairman of the CFL’s board of governors.DEADLINE NEARS That urgency has been shared by John Candy, co-owner of the Toronto Argonauts and chairman of the league’s expansion committee, and Ottawa general manager Jo Anne Polak in recent days Candy said on the weekend the league can’t support the Hi ders indefinitely.And Polak said Monday if the league can’t find an owner willing to keep the team in Ottawa, the options are to move or fold the franchise.Kershaw says the American groups he has spoken to about joining the league aren’t interested in the Riders.But he doesn't discount a move as a last resort.“If it's a question of keeping a team in business and playing perhaps in Detroit which might be a more realistic alternative than Portland that could probablv happen.” he said.“But we re going to try to exhaust every opportunity we have to find a buyer in Ottawa.“I’m not convinced there isn’t one out there.1 just don’t know we've necessarily gone about it the right wn\ Catch-and-release program called cruel Tindale named CI AU player of the week EE 12 Thr I!I < Ui:11 Uriliii'sdii.'
