flamboyant billionaire who built a global newspaper and communications empire, was found dead Tuesday after apparently falling off his luxury yacht near the Canary Islands, officials said.The 68-year-old publisher disappeared from the 55-metre Lady Ghislaine while taking a weeklong rest after being accused by an investigative journalist of having close links with the Israeli secret service Mossad.Maxwell’s w'ife, Elizabeth, and their son, Phillip, identified the body late Tuesday, rescue officials said.Maxwell’s death ends the reign of one of the world’s best know p and controversial entrepreneurs, who immigrated penniless to Britain in 1940 and built a media conglomerate that provided news for millions of readers.British Prime Minister John Major called the mercurial but generous Maxwell “a great character who will be missed.’’ “Mr.Maxwell was a re markable man."’ said Max well’s longtime rival.Rupert Murdoch, chairman of New's International.“Maxwell was a passionate friend of Israel and we are sorry about this heavy tragedy,” Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Shamir said.“God bless his memory.” EXTENSIVE SEARCH Maxwell’s body was found 30 kilometres northwest of Grand Canary

arrived from New York at 11 a m., the crew discovered Maxwell was not on board, said John Campi.a New York News spokesman.Weather officials said the skies were clear at the time of Maxwell s disappearance.In London, Charles Wilson, director of Maxwell s Mirror Group Newspapers, said there was no suggestion of foul play.“We can only assume that Mr.Maxwell slipped and fell overboard.” he said See MAXWELL:, page 2.By Jim Brown OTTAWA (CP) — The government’s controversial gun-eontrol legislation continued to inch its way through the Commons on Tuesday, with MPs from all parties apparently resigned to its passage.Debate was subdued and the chamber held fewer than a dozen legislators as the final round of speeches began.“A lot of people just don’t want to stick their heads in there,” said one party strategist.speaking on condition of anonymity.The governing Conservatives and the opposition Liberals and New Democrats all face internal divisions between big-city advocates of gun control and rural weapons fanciers.It appeared many MPs sol ved the dilemma by staying out of the debate, in which more than 40 amendments were up for discussion.All were expected to be disposed of in a late-night sitting, with only a handful of technical changes sponsored by Justice Minister Kim Campbell certain to pass.Further debate and a final vote were scheduled for today.Bill C -1 7.a legislative compromise crafted by Campbell.would ban new imports of military assault weapons but leave an estimated 50,000 such weapons already in the country in private hands.The screening process would be tightened for issuing firearms acquisition certificates.but a certificate holder could still buy as many guns as he or she wants.Handguns and short-barrelled rifles must already be registered with police under legislation in force since 1!)70.But the government refused to extend the registration system to cover thousands of shotguns and hunting rifles Ammunition clips could eventually be limited to five shots for rifles and 10 for pistols.New storage regulations could force owners to keep guns under lock and key.But tinal decisions on those points would be left to cabinet, which would draft regulations later with the advice of experts.“There’s no question (the bill) is going to pass,” predicted Wendy Cukier.president of the Coalition for Gun Control.Her group, which wants tougher restrictions, has vowed to keep fighting for amendments when the legislation goes to the Senate.The Tory caucus, after months of divisive debate, appears to have fallen into line behind Campbell and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in support of the bill.Liberal Leader Jean Chretien has argued for tougher measures, while some of his backbenchers from rural Ontario have set their own agenda and tried to water down the legislation.The NDI’ has officially fought to toughen the bill, but rural members from Saskatchewan and British Columbia are known to have expressed réservât ions privately.South African blacks go on strike JOHANNESBURG (Reuter) Millions of black South Africans went on strike Tuesday for the second consecutive day.disrupting business and industry in a protest portrayed as a rejection of white rule.Police shot dead an alleged gunman during a demonstration by strikers in Daveyton township outside Johannesburg and three blacks were reported killed in scattered vio lence connected with the work stoppage.But otherwise the second day of the strike — ostensibly against a new tax but seen as a display of muscle by black opponents of the white government — was relatively peaceful.Police said bombs damaged railway lines to Johannesburg and Cape Town early Tuesday sabotage possibly aimed at preventing commuters getting to work.No one was injured.Railway stations in Soweto, the biggest black township, were deserted at rush hour.Johannesburg.for which Soweto provides labor, was as quiet as on a Sunday.The Congress of South Afri fan Trade t'nions said between 80 per cent and 90 per cent of industrial workers downed tools across the country for the two days.“The strike sends a clear and unambiguous message to the South African government that the vast majority ol working people.are no longer prepared to accept its diktat." it said in a statement The South African Chamber of Business said the strike was between 80 per cent and 100 per cent effective in the major in dust rial centres with a lower response in rural areas and in goldfields.Anglo-American Corp.the biggest mining company, said 83 per cent of workers in its gold, coal and industrial divisions

there was “overwhelming evidence.” which he did not specify, that workers were intimidated into joining.Rémillard slams unity proposals By Don Macdonald QUEBEC (CP) — Ottawa has to go back to the drawing board and rewrite its constitutional proposals because they are unacceptable, Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Gil Rémillard said Tuesday.“I think that the federal government is realizing now that these proposals are unacceptable,’’ Rémillard said.“Perhaps wc can deal with the principles .iin> this document but unfortunately they have dealt with principles in a manner which is unacceptable for Quebec.'' Rémillard said after a legislature committee meeting that the proposals also seem unacceptable to other governments such as Ontario's.“So it seems obvious that Ihe federal government should go back to their desk and write something else.” The statements appear to be a significant hardening in the tone of Quebec's reaction to the federal package.In the past.Quebec has said that only proposals for a Cana dian economic union contained in the federal package wrere unacceptable but that other proposals, while incomplete, were useful.Rémillard denied there was anything new in his statements but his media spokesperson.Linda Dion, confirmed the minister was referring to a series of proposals in the federal package and not just the economic union.“If wo ask the minister today if it’s take it or leave it, it’s leave it.” Dion said in an interview.Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau greeted Rémil-lard’s statements with glee.“I’m rather glad that someone from the government at last is clear and said: ‘These proposals are unacceptable’.” “Of course they are.We know that they are.But someone has to say the king is naked.' ' Rémillard didn’t say which proposals he finds unaccep- Proposals still a good starting point — Clark by what 1 see in constitutional developments.” Clark said before a speech in St Adèle, about 100 kilometres north of Montreal.“There are concerns about the way the (federal constitutional) committee is proceeding, but its problems appear to be technical." Clark said the backbiting and disarray which has bogged down the committee would be soon overcome, paving t he way for “a genuine determination to let Canadians be heard through this process.” And he was unfazed by a remark made by Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Gil Rémillard that the federal package is “unacceptable.” Remillard's statement didn't depart from Quebec's base line that the package is a “good basis for discussion,” an upbeat Clark said.“1 detect a new willingness to accept the distinct society in the rest of Canada — at long Sec CLARK:, page 2.By Erie Siblin STE-ADELE (CP) — Ottawa’s unity package was subjected to several salvos of criticism Tuesday, but Constitutional Affairs Minister Joe Clark continued to put a happy face on the federal plan."1 remain quite encouraged table besides the economic union but he did refer to statements made by Ontario Premier Bob Rae during Premier Robert Bourassa’s visit to Toronto on Monday.Rae said, among other things, that he and Bourassa have common concerns about how Senate reform as proposed by Ottawa will affect the powers of the federal gover mnent.On Tuesday, Rémillard ad ded that other "major difficulties” include the failure of the package to give Quebec a veto over future constitutional change.Remillard's comments came minutes after former PQ intergovernmental affairs minister Claude Morin blasted the federal package for almost three hours before a legislature committee.See REMILLARD:, page 2.Gil Rémillard.‘the federal government should go hack to their desk.' » * I ï—Th»1 RECORD—Wednesday.November 6.19ÎII The Townships Secorfl Group seeks funds for inflammatory bowel disease i *i .11 .11 I ¦ l/vc Dr.Jacques Poisson studies IBÜ and treats patients at the CHUS.By Mike Shahin SHERBROOKE — Claire Paré can’t figure out why people in the Sherbrooke area suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) refuse to get involved with the organization that’s trying to help them.Paré, a volunteer with the local chapter of the Canadian Foundation for Ileitis and Colitis, said membership in support groups is stagnant and information meetings have stopped altogether — all because of a lack of interest from those who stand to benefit the most.“It's very frustrating for people who aren't suffering from the disease to try and help people w ho are suffering — we feel we aren't able to get through to them,” Paré, former provincial president of the 10.000-member foundation, said at a news conference kicking off CFICs local fundraising campaign.Paré said she isn’t sure whether people are simply not interested in what the foundation has to offer or "are we not giving them what they want?" "I really don’t know — but they won’t let us know either.” she said.HITS INTESTINE Colitis and ileitis (also known as Crohn’s disease) involve inflammation and ulceration of the inner lining of the bowel.Ileitis can affect the entire 30-foot length of the bowel, while colitis occurs in the colon, the last segment of the bowel also called the large intestine.Symptoms of IBD — which has no know n cause or cure — include severe abdominal pain, bloody diarrhea, weight loss and energy loss.The disease can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer tenfold.About 200.000 Canadians are said to have IBD, with an estimated 50.000 of them under the age of 18.About 10.000 people in Quebec suffer from the disease.In an attempt to open lines of communication between the non-profit group and people who suffer from colitis and ileitis the local chapter has chosen a new president.UNDERSTAND PROBLEM Lake Megantic-native Jean-Luc Roy.who has had colitis for eight years, said he plans to recruit people who have worked in the area of bowel disease, but "not necessarily people who have the disease." “We need people who understand the problem, ” Roy, 41, said."The work load is too heavy for the number of people now' devoting time to the foundation." Roy is heading a local fund drive w'hich aims to collect about $45,000 this year.Most of the money should come from the sale of fruitcakes, being sold for $8 each.The cakes will be on sale at the Galeries Or-ford shopping centre Nov.14-10 and at Carrefour de l'Estrie Nov.28-30.Sixty-eight per cent of money collected by the foundation goes toward studying the disease.In 17 years of existence, the national foundation has put about $10 million toward research.LOCAL STUDY Part of that money — $92,000 to be exact — is financing a three-year project at the Sherbrooke University Hospital Centre (CHUS).Dr.Jacques Poisson is studying the "intercellular junction" — the cement-like material that bonds microscopic cells — in the lining of the intestine to understand its role in bowel disease.“Normally there’s a physical barrier that stops (food) from passing through.’’ explained Jean-François Beaulieu.Poisson’s partner in research.“The big molecules can’t pass — on- ly the small digested molecules pass” through the lining.Beaulieu said with ileitis the undigested molecules of food pass through the "thin layer of cement, which is porous and defective.” it’s here where the inflammatory mechanism begins to work.” he said."The process of infection begins." Poisson, a surgeon w ho describes IBD as one of the "least glamorous" of chronic diseases, said about 700 Towns-hippers have been identified as having inflammatory bowel disease at the CHUS in the past 20 years.Attempts to control the disease usually begin with antiinflammatory medication, with surgery being a last-ditch option.Poisson said.For information on IBD.or to help with fundraising, call the foundation's ET chapter at (819) 821-4114.Native trade centre a link to Quebec businesses By Sandra Rubin MONTREAL (CP) — The Assembly of First Nations in Quebec is planning to establish a trade centre in Montreal to forge vital economic ties ;between native and Quebec businesses.I; It would be the first project of :jts kind in Canada, Konrad Sioui of the Assembly of First .Nations said Tuesday.'! Quebec is a natural choice for the venture because the ¦|ight by Quebecers for recogni- tion as a distinct society should make them more sympathetic to native struggles, he said.‘•Quebecers themselves want their distinctiveness understood, they want others to recognize who they are, their aspirations,” said Sioui, past president of the assembly in Quebec.“We re relying on them and their understanding.” The aim of the project would be to develop joint ventures with Quebec businesses, crea- ting crucial economic opportunities for natives, he said.‘it’s important now for our people to get involved in economic development.” CAN’T WAIT “Our situation at the local and regional levels is desperate.We don’t have too many possibilities for economic development.as you know.And if we wait for governments to save us and to solve all our problems.we could wait a long, long time.” Sioui, a Huron who lives near Quebec City, said the venture would be funded by a combination of federal and provincial subsidies and private donations.It would take about $900.000 to get the project up and running for a two-year period, he said following a luncheon speech to the Montreal Chamber of Commerce.The Assembly of First Nations is just awaiting final word on funding from Quebec and Ottawa before getting started.Sioui downplayed the bitterness some Quebecers expressed during and after the 1990 Mohawk Crisis at Oka.A dispute over the proposed expansion of a golf course erupted into a 78-day armed standoff between natives and police and the army.Mohawks at nearby Kahnawake blocked the Mercier Bridge linking Montreal and populous southshore suburbs, leaving commuters furious.Some threatened publicly to sever all business links with Mo-haw'ks.Sioui.recently named president of the Assembly of First Nations constitutional committee.said he doesn't believe the Oka hangover would be a factor."I would say that there’s a healing process in place,” he said, carefully weighing his words.“And it will be accomplished after a certain period of time.” Constitution committee smooths over some bumps By Robert Russo ; CHURCHILL.Man.(CP) — There were no suits, there were ho legal

Panel to explore issue of personal debt By Teresa Pomerleau SHERBROOKE — Quebecers are three times deeper in debt than they were in 1981, personal bankruptcies are on the rise, and wages aren’t keeping pace with the cost of living.So what is the average, heavily-indebted person to do?A non-profit group that helps .• France Heaudin will announce the results of a four-month survey on personal bankruptcies before Christmas.record teresa romeri eau people plan family budgets is trying to find some answers to that question.The Service budgétaire populaire (SBP) will hold a panel discussion Thursday on personal debt to help people find solutions to their financial problems.In a news conference Tuesday members of the group said credit card use is on the rise.Statistics Canada estimates there are 51 million credit cards in use in Canada, an average of 2.6 cards for everyone over 18.A January 1989 report said each Canadian owes an average of $13,300.SBP members Jasmine Fougère and France Beaudin are looking into measures available to people who find themselves financially overburdened.They hope to release results of their study before Christmas."We plan on announcing the results before Christmas because that’s when people really overspend.” Beaudin said.BANKRUPTCY Fougère said Quebec's bankruptcy laws are being revie- wed by the provincial government.but she didn’t know if changes have been adopted yet.“The government is looking into the necessities-of-life clauses in the law,” Fougère said, referring to rules that govern what a person can keep after declaring bankruptcy."Before, people who declared personal bankruptcy were allowed to keep $4000 of furniture and could not keep their car.” Fougère said the reforms will allow people to keep more of their possessions.A panel of financial experts will be on hand for Thursday’s discussion to answer questions on how to avoid debt and what can be done to help those on the verge of bankruptcies.The forum gets underway at 7:30 at the Eva Sénécal municipal li brary in Sherbrooke.The non-profit organization offers a series of courses on budget planning.The service teaches how to better manage your money, and how to find quick solutions to immediate financial problems.Danville and Shipton to get needed road repairs SHERBROOKE — Work is set to begin on a one-kilometre stretch of Route 249 at the inter-section of St-Georges Road South in Shipton.The $360,000 job will take three months and will be completed in the summer of 1992.The work is part of a $2.2-million reconstruction of Route 249 between Asbestos and St-Georges.Work is also scheduled to begin at the intersection of Du Carmel and Grove Streets in Danville.CONDOMS Continued from page one.last group is likely based on moral objections from Grace Chapel members who stacked the information meeting, Jones said in an interview prior to the meeting.No one answered the phone at the Grace Chapel in Sherbrooke when the Record called Tuesday afternoon.Only parents’s opinions were considered in the vote because that's what ETSB commissioners had requested.Jones said.FALSE INFORMATION?James Napier, a committee member and condom advocate, challenged information which Galt principal Robert McConnachie supplied at last week's information meeting.McConnachie said no high schools in Quebec and only four in Canada supplied students with condoms.Napier, a Champlain College biomedical ethics teacher, said condoms are available at Le Triolet high school in Sherbrooke.He said there may be as many as four high schools in the province providing the service.Napier called McConna-chie's comments "highly prejudicial to the discussion.” "I'm really shocked about this shoddy research," he added.McConnachie was not at the meeting to respond.Steve King, a parent who attended Tuesday’s meeting as an observer, challenged the way the survey was conducted, saying the vote was not "scrutinized in a proper fashion." King said he had no reason to think Jones, who supports condom availability, would tamper with survey results, but he did say that having the survey tabulated by a single person was “poor procedure." More than 3(H) Galt students have signed a petition calling on school authorities to discuss condom availability.The Galt student council last year asked the School Committee for condom access.The committee sided vwm students and passed it on to the Parents Committee, a group of parent representatives from schools within the Eastern Township School Board.They sent it on to ETSB commissioners.“They thought it was a bit of a touchy subject so they sent it back for consultation." Jones said.By the time the AGRHS School Committee held its in formation meeting last week, an entire year had passed since the question had been raised.It should have been done quicker." Jones said, "but that’s just the way it went." In an October vote.35 Galt teachers opposed condom access.while 29 were in favor.SIRLOIN TIP ROAST TOUPE HAM boneless BONELESS CHICKEN BREAST PASTRAMI SMOKED MEAT kg.7.47 lb.3.39 kg 4.39 lb 1.99 kg

be a warning Letter A case of ignorance bordering on criminal negligence?Something is dreadfully wrong when people in a democratic society refuse to take responsibility for governing themselves.The lack of involvement in this past weekend’s municipal elections should come as a warning to those concerned with the direction our political system is taking.Witness some startling statistics: Out of 73 municipalities in the seven regional municipalities (MRCs) of the Sherbrooke area, no less than 209 mayors and councillors were elected to their seats by acclamation.Seven more people were acclaimed to four-year terms because their opponents withdrew as the Nov.3 election neared.You don’t have to be a mathematician to see that 216 people have earned the right to make decisions affecting our daily lives — decisions that will affect the lives of our children and grandchildren — because no other citizen stood up to fight for the job.Municipal government forms the grassroots of our political system.The decisions — no matter how small and seemingly insignificant — made in the small ponds we live in have the potential to cause ripples at the highest levels of power.Is our system of government so tainted and unappealing so as to scare people away?Or are politics — and politicians — so inaccessible that the regular Joe and Jane on the street don't feel qualified to take part?Or maybe salaries don’t come close to compensating councillors and mayors for their time and effort .It’s possible that all these things were reasons for the dearth of candidates in the recent municipal elections.And in some ways, one hopes that this is the case, because the alternative is a frightening concept: maybe people simply don’t care anymore.We constantly hear ourselves, our friends and our neighbors complaining about corrupt politicians, bad policies and oh-so-high taxes.Radio phone-in shows and letters-to-the-editor sections in newspapers overflow with criticism and complaint.But what about action?Do people these days have the guts to put their time and effort where their mouths are?MIKE SHAHIN Greenpeace joins anglo mud-slinging — author MONTREAL (CP) — Yves Beauchemin, one of the province’s most popular novelists, says Greenpeace has become part of a mud-slinging campaign against Quebec independence, orchestrated by anglophones.Greenpeace, a militant international environmental group, placed a high-profile ad in the New York Times recently which supported the James Bay Cree in their fight against the Great Whale power development.Hydro-Quebec responded with an ad of its own claiming Greenpeace was not telling the truth.In an open letter published in Le Devoir on Tuesday, Beauchemin, author of several novels including Le Matou (The Alley Cat), agreed.“For a long time now, I have admired the courage and ingenuity of Greenpeace in the defence of a cause which is close to my heart — the environment,’’ he wrote.“But the battle does not justify the use of half-truths, gross oversimplifications and outright lies.” said Beauchemin.“Has Greenpeace joined Trudeau, Richler and the other Warriors who seem bent on relegating Quebec culture to the history books?” wrote Beauchemin.who favors Quebec independence.The Greenpeace ad came after an article in the New Yorker by Montreal writer Mordecai Ri chler critical of Quebec’s language law.Former prime minister Pierre Trudeau recen tly attacked Quebec nationalists saying recognition of the province as a distinct society could lead one day to the deportation of non-francophones.Mohawk Warriors drew sympathy last year in a confrontation with provincial police forces.“A curious convergence emerges in these frenzied attacks from all quarters and it seems to serve the interests of English-Canada,” which is fighting Quebec independence, Beauchemin writes.Today in history Nov.fi, 1991 By The Canadian Press The first federal Parliament opened in Ottawa 124 years ago today — 1867.The 181 MPs present immediately enacted legislation to establish the departments of the government.As well, a resolution was adopted for the admission of Rupert's Land and the North Western Territory into the Dominion of Canada.Also on this day in : 1689 — Blacks arrived by ship in Quebec — probably the first recorded use of black slaves in Canada.1879 — Thanksgiving Day was first observed in Canada.1889 — The Eiffel Tower opened in Paris The Honorable Jake Epp Minister of Energy.Mines and Resources House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario Subject: Candu reactors in Romania Sir.I am writing to urge you to reconsider your decision to deliver several hundred million dollars of aid to complete the installation of nuclear reactors which had been supplied to the Ceaucescu regime in the early 1980s.It is incomprehensible to me that the government could ever have agreed to supply Candu reactors to one of the most brutal dictators of the century.It may simply have been a case of ignorance bordering on criminal negligence but the consequences could have been horrifying: nuclear bomb manufacturing capabilities in the hands of this insane despot.It is a dramatic illustration of AECL'S struggle to survive: a willingness to sell to almost any regime.In response to public pressure for a reduction in fede- ral subsidies to AECL.there have been apparent cutbacks from about $500 million to $200 million annually in recent years.But export subsidies simply take their place — and most of the three or four hundred million dollars of aid now being promised to Romania will be channelled through AECL.Meanwhile we are left wondering where the government will cut in order to provide $800 million to Canadian farmers to save many of them from going under.Perhaps the new leadership in Romania is less brutual or totali tarian than was Ceaucescu, but it can probably still be considered as one of the more repressive regimes in Eastern Europe.And who will follow on in Romania?"Peaceful” Candu reactors allowed India to join the nuclear weapons club.Saddam Hussein was well on the way, thanks to various West European suppliers.But even if we put aside questions of political instability, repression and the military potential of enriched uranium, the whole issue of the peaceful use of nuclear energy must be addres- sed.Surely.Mr.Minister, you cannot turn a blind eye to the aftermath of Chernobyl, and the rejection of nuclear power by the people of all nations.The refusal of private power producers to take over British nuclear power plants showed clearly the diseconomies of this industry.Moreover, the questions of how we will ever find acceptable disposal methods for high-level wastes and who will pay for them have never been resolved.Meanwhile we continue to accumulate these deadly materials.If all the foregoing objections are not enough to shake your unwavering support of AECL, you would still have to address questions of quality of workmanship and earthquake resistance in the Romanian context.We don't have to look further than Montreal’s Olympic Stadium to see the risks of faulty welding.and this in spite of sophisticated quality controls.A huge beam came crashing down — and could have crushed dozens of innocent bystanders.But if the same faulty weld allowed a seam to open up in a future pressure vessel, millions of lives in Romania and surrounding countries could be in mortal danger.How can we force these populations to live constantly with the nightmare of such a disaster?It is public knowledge that the work accomplished on the Candu project by slave labor in theCeauces-eu years was totally substandard.Even well-constructed reactors in Canada cannot get insurance coverage.It is extremely costly to put right work that has been inadequately undertaken.Some defects may be overlooked.It can be virtually impossible to repair poorly constructed foundations without redoing them completely.Furthermore, queries on the question of earthquake design criteria have gone unanswered.Independent experts must be mandated to examine AECL design documents to ascertain what (if any) earthquake forces were allowed for in the original design.While your ministry has maintained financial support for AECL to the tune of billions of dollars in the last decade, you have virtually eliminated all funding for the renewable energy sector, and for energy conservation measures.Exciting progress is nonetheless occurring in the solar-energy field, wind power is making important contributions to California's grid and wave energy could one day power maritime regions.We have missed the opportunity to make Canada a pioneer in clean energy, but surely.Mr.Minister, it is time to come to our senses and stop supplying deathly (archaic) technology to Romania, Korea, etc.It is remarkable that only regimes with no public accountability are still willing to accept our nuclear largesse.Yours truly, MICHAEL GRAYSON, eng.Lennoxville Copy: The Globe and

Politicians were euphoric 10 years ago this week when it seemed — at last — that the painful constitutional debate was finally settled.Of course, it wasn't.The lone dissenter, René Lévesque.was prophetic.The then-premier of Quebec foretold troubles ahead And there w'ould be.In the first week of November 1981.nine of the 10 provinces struck a deal to patriate the Constitution and insert a Charter of Rights.The final agreement in a seemingly endless negotiation came late one night in the kitchen of the Government Conference Centre, a converted railway station.Jean Chrétien, then federal justice minister, Roy Rom a now, then Saskatchewan attorney general and Roy McMurtry, then Ontario attorney general, worked out an agreement acceptable to every province except Quebec.The provinces would agree to entrenchment of a Charter of Rights in the Constitution, but with an escape hatch, the so-called “notwithstanding clause." No province w'ould have a veto on constitutional change.COURT RULES Then-prime-minister Pierre Trudeau had earlier threatened to bring the Constitution home with or without provincial consent and had been tripped up by the Supreme Court of Canada.It said he needed a provincial consensus — but not unanimity — to do so.He settled for the November deal.“After 114 years, Canada will become, in a technical and legal sense, an independent country for once and for all,” he said as the crucial, four-day first ministers’ conference ended.Editorial pages rejoiced.It seemed that the drawn-out process of constitutional reform was ended, along with the bitter federal-provincial wrangles that accompanied it.But Quebec stood isolated.Lévesque refused to go along with the other nine premiers and bitterly condemned what he saw as betrayal.“Quebec is alone," he said.INCALCULABLE "In spite of the joyous outpourings of most of my colleagues, maybe second thoughts and further events will make them understand this could have incalculable consequences.” While the other premiers and Trudeau congratulated each other on the agreement and on the compromises they had made, Lévesque fumed."Never will we surrender on this,” he said.Seven months later the Queen signed the new Constitution in a Parliament Hill ceremony.But in Quebec’s refusal to go along lay the seeds of future bitterness.When Brian Mulroney and the Conservatives took office in 1984, he was determined to end Quebec's isolation.To that end, he struck the Meech Lake deal.The death of Meech in June 1990 produced the present state of constitutional confusion, the renewed threat of a Quebec separation referendum and the crosscountry soul-searching that has consumed so much of the federal government’s attention for the last 17 months.Wife beater recalls 6the fear in her eyes’ By Dawna Dingwall Winnipeg Sun WINNIPEG (CP) One slap, and he was the man of steel.I was euphoric.I saw the fear in her eyes and I felt so powerful, it was like I was Superman,” says Jason, describing the first time he abused his wife.As the saying goes, power is a drug.“The adrenaline would start to rush.It was like a high after the first taste I had to go back for more.I felt for once 1 had total cont rol over something in my life, even though it was totally out of control." says the 37-year old father of four.Even though the next day the power t rip came to a crashing halt and he “felt as guilty as hell.” he kept coming back for another fix, until the abuse became a weekly habit.“I had full recollection of what I did — there was never any alcohol involved and I’d just want to make it right.I’d tell her I was sorry and it would never happen again.” CALLED HELP LINE But it did happen again, and finally.desperate for help, his wife called a local crisis line.“I was coming down from it all when she told me, so I didn't flip out.but I was shocked." said .la son.who didn’t want to be identified by his full name.She gave him a phone number to call for counselling, and he says it’s the day his life was saved.“The feelings that I had, the an ger.the frustration that I couldn't express, were destroying my life.I just wanted to stop " With the help of David Rice Lampert.a tormer counsellor wiin Evolve, an agency that counsels men who abuse, and a six-month in-depth course that taught him “a new way of thinking," Jason did stop.He hasn’t hit his wife “in years.” “It feels like I’m talking about someone else now," he reflects.And in a sense, he is a different person.I had no sense of myself then.I did everything for other people and when I thought they were di sappointed in me.I felt like a failure.” FURY SIMMERED But the feelings of failure simmered into fury.When he couldn’t express those emotions, he let his lists do the talking."I can remember thinking I wasn't the had person they made me feel like Then I'd get angry.” Even as his wife, who he mar- ried at 18, cowered in fear, he never saw her as the defenceless victim of his pent-up rage.I still saw her as above me.5 ou feel like the person has been using you.I had a normal life.I have a decent job.I grew up in a good home, my mother was a nurse, it was a nice neighborhood, but I had extremely low self-esteem.” Jason’s wife was dealing with the pain of having been sexually abused as a child, and every time she had a problem, he took it personally.He still gets angry, but "it's not the same." I was lucky she never went to the hospital and I didn’t hurt her worse.I feel so lucky that now when I’m angry we can talk about it.It s hard to believe, but I'm a happy person and so is my wife.We started a new life.” / 1 Education The RKCORD—Wednesday, November 6.1991—5 a_____«sa Jktccora Basketball season starts at Galt The senior boys' team was off to the regional championships this past weekend after being first in the ETIAC league.They did a great job and are now the regional champions.Basketball is now up and in the sports picture of Galt.This past weekend Galt attended Le Triolet Basketball Tournament (Nov.1 - 3).The girls’ basketball team did very well and won the consolation finals.The boys’ team also did well until they reached the finals where they lost their game.Congratulations go to Larry Walker and Julie Marquis for their outstanding performance at the 4-km cross-country run at BCS on Oct.23.Larry placed first for the midget boys and Julie took top place in the senior girls’ category.Galt News By Nancy Beattie On Wednesday, Oct.30.approximately 120 Level 4 students attended an excellent performance of Billy the Kid at Bishop’s University.It was a play which forced one to think and reflect but at the same time, was enjoyably funny.Insights, a program for students on the enrichment list, is about to begin its fall session.Student group has The International Association of Students in Economics and Commerce (AIESEC) is planning to making dreams come true this month with their annual Dream Auction to be held on Nov.14.Unfortunately, bidding on actual dreams is not the plan, but products will range from gift certificates at the Pilsen Pub and Cedar Gables to squash lessons at the BU Sports Complex.AIESEC is still looking for businesses to donate to this good cause.Everyone from the community is welcome to come and bid beginning at 6 p.m.in the Quiet Bar (top floor of the Student Union Building) at Bishop’s University.To let you know a bit more about this club that grants you your dreams I decided to interview Chris Courtemanche, president of AIESEC Bishop’s for the club of the week.ThisThe International Association of Students in Economics and Commerce is the largest student-run, non-profit organiza- tion in the world.PROMOTION In Canada it has local communities on 37 campuses including Bishop’s.Their main objective is to promote international cooperation and understanding, they also help in developing future Canadian management while building a bridge between students and the business community.Campus News By Kathy Cassidy AIESECs promote education and gives students a chance to improve their leadershiop abilities through career days and business luncheons, to name just a few of their activities planned for this year.AIESECs also have an international job exchange program where students of economics, commerce and computer Topics available to students include Greek and Roman History.Bioilogy, Law.Creative Writing among others.A dance was held Saturday night in the gym.Although attendance was low, a good time was had by those who did show up.Turning to our "world travellers." the 20 level 5 students who left for Switzerland on Oct.16.returned home on Oct.30 with an unbelieveably good time under their belts.They visited castles, cathedrals, a bakery and even got a sampling at a winery.They visited Geneva.including the old city, and managed a tour of the United Nations building.Also, incredibly, during the course of a single day.they went skiing on a glacier and swimming in hot springs.What a life!

increase public awareness of the importance of education?Should the government publish statistics on student performance on uniform examinations for each school board?Should the government support regional initiatives?Your School By Ronald Ewing Should students begin school on the third Thursday in August and end their year around June 20?Should the age of admission to school be increased?These and many other proposals are in the minister’s Plan.Teachers, students, parents and administrators are all being provided with an opportunity for consultation.Part of Pagé’s strategy is to have each region organize a conference which will provide a response to his plan.PLANNED BY COMMITTEE The Ministry of Education called the first organizational meeting the ninth of October, but it is not in charge of the follow-up.An executive committee, consisting of parents, teachers, administrators, and students, was set up to plan the conference.Suzanne Bélanger, parent respresentative to the Fédération des comités de parents de FEstrie, graciously assumed responsibility for the anglophone sector in this committee.Anglophones have been cordially received at these organization meetings, but it is up to us to attend in sufficent numbers if we want to have our voices heard in Quebec City.At a previous Education Ministry seminar English sessions were cancelled due to lack of interest.I believe we must make our opinion on this document heard, or the government w ill assume that silence represents agreement.On Saturday, November 23, 1991, at Le Triolet high shchool in Sherbrooke, we of the anglophone sector hope to offer five sessions: the promotion of education.schools, students, parents.and teachers: the high school dropout rate: 36 per cent in 1988-89; the school calendar; examination of elementary schools; and a look at high schools.SEEKS VOLUNTEERS Participants will be able to attend a session in the morning another in the afternoon.The cost is $15.which covers a

in Quebec MONTREAL (CP) — Alain Millette is a 27-year-old Quebecer who says he can’t speak a word of English.But he can sing I Can't Help Falling in Love With You.Heartbreak Hotel and the rest of the repertoire of a certain Elvis Aron Presley.A full-time Elvis impersonator — “I’ve been doing shows for the past five months straight’’ — Millette is utterly convinced that the King did not die on Aug.16, 1977.“Too many people have seen him, too many questions remain unanswered after his death for it to have been real,” said Millette, alluding to a theory that Elvis was placed in the United States Witness Protection Program after running afoul of mobsters.While someone who makes his living singing “Jailhouse Rock” might be perceived as having a vested interest in ensuring the memory of Elvis stays alive, a Gallup poll conducted last month suggests Millette, who performs under the name “Mr.Love,” has a lot of company in Quebec.In a survey conducted Oct.2-5, 13 per cent of Quebecers told pollsters they believed Elvis Presley was still alive.That’s six percentage points higher than the national average.But it’s three percentage points below the 16 per cent response to the same question in a TimeCable News Network poll recently conducted in the United States.STILL BELIEVE When the question was asked in the Montreal region, 13 per cent of respondents said they believed Elvis was alive.In Toronto, only two per cent of those polled said they believe the King is alive.Millette is unable to say why Quebecers seem more disposed than other Canadians to reject Presley's death, but speculates Elvis’s simple origins struck a note with fans here.“He was a simple man who worked his way up the ladder.And he sang a lot about love,” Millette said.“He’s a part of us.I like to think the songs I’m singing are those he'd be singing today if he was able to.” Armando Naftali, 19, an Elvis impersonator who has been EXHIBITION Ow» i «mW» ot original lithographs and limited edition

sensationalism covering these reunions and how some adoptive parents are made to feel like "interim” parents, waiting for a now-mature birth mother to show up.You said it is unfair to generalize about birth mothers, that "many suffer a lot" when they give up their children.That statement is a gross generalization in itself.Adoption does not always mean a cute, cuddly 3-day-old infant delivered into the arms of a waiting couple by a grieving-but-proud unwed teen-ager.Our adopted daughter, who came to us when she was 4 years old, was the victim of profound sexual abuse and severe neglect by both her parents.The difficulties in raising such a child are enormous.Many have emotional, physical and neurological problems as well as learning disabilities, which arc often the result of drug abuse during pregnancy.What am I going to tell my daughter, now 7, when she starts to ask questions about her "real" mother and father?So far, I’ve explained that not all parents arc able to care for and love a child, and that it’s belter to find a mommy and daddy who can.That story will do for a while but before long she’s going to ask questions that demand specific answers.Should 1 tell her that her parents lost three other children to the courts and never bothered to try to get them back?That they sneaked out of town one step ahead of the law and have been on the run ever since?What is my child going to find if she begins a search for her birth parents?They could be dead from a drug overdose or in jail.Could she ever hope to understand or cope with knowing what kind of people they really were?I’ve given this dilemma a great deal of thought and have concluded that, for these kids, no answer is the best answer and no search is by far the best option.1 am not signing my name for obvious reasons.-SACRAMENTO PARENT Ann Landers DEAR SAC.: As you probably know, 1 do not recommend these searches, based on the heartbreak-ing experiences I’ve been privy to over the years.In all fairness, however, I should tell you that some searches have resulted in happy reunions.As for what to tell your daughter when she gets old enough to become profoundly inquisitive, the naked truth is always better than the best-dressed lie.Dear Ann Landers: This problem has been bothering me for a long time and 1 really do need an unbiased point of view.A member of our family always shows up at funerals with a camera.She is constantly clicking away, getting close-ups of people who are grieving.The more dramatic the situation, the better she likes it I have never seen anyone do this, Ann.It seems like an outrageous invasion of privacy, not to mention poor taste.What do you think about this?Am 1 being overly critical because I don’t like her?Please respond in print.-I'M EROM MISSOURI DEAR MISSOURI: That family member should be told in very plain language that a funeral is not an appropriate occasion to indulge in her hobby.Since you are the one who was annoyed enough to write to me, I suggest that you do the honors.Simple easy-to-make desserts for everyone These are some favourite re eipes from a friend living just a few apartments from mine.The first is from her sister in Edmonton and the

OTTAWA (CP) — Small business will spend almost $10 billion to collect and administer the GST in this year alone, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business said Tuesday.Federation president John Bulloch, releasing the results of a federation survey on the GST, called the situation a national tax tragedy that may have cost up to 200,000 people their jobs."It's a bloody mess.We have to go back to Square 1,” said Bulloch, a persistent critic of the seven per cent goods and services tax.But Revenue Minister Otto Jelinek told the Commons the federation study was incomplete."We do not agree with Mr.Bulloch’s conclusions,” he said."It did not include the administrative costs of the (previous) federal sales tax which businesses paid for while it was there.“Most of all it overlooked the fact that most of the financial costs (of the GST) are either recoverable or deductable as business expenses.” The federation, which received replies from 25.362 small-and medium-sized companies in the June survey, said the GST imposed an unprecedented burden on consumers and small business owners and has damaged the economy.“To saddle the economy wit h $9.6-billion in unproductive compliance costs is a national tragedy," argued Bulloch.“And to introduce this tax and levy such an enormous cost burden when the economy was in the midst of a severe recession is unconscionable.” ADDS WORK The owner of a Vancouver company manufacturing and selling flags, said small business people have to do a subs-t a n t i a 1 amount of time-consuming paperwork to comply with the GST.“There are probably more transactions for GST than any other account I've got because everything you buy has GST on it.everything you sell has GST on it.” Doreen Braverman said from Vancouver.“I would say it's added 10 per cent to my office workload." The study said the smallest companies pay 82 per cent of the paperwork costs associated with GST Large business pays five per cent and medium-sized business 13 per cent.Liberal Leader Jean Chretien said his partv is reviewing the GST We would have other taxes." he said outside the Commons.'We have a committee on fair taxation and By Rob Carrick TORONTO ) — Canadian retailers have far more pressing things on their minds than cross-border shopping, a survey released Tuesday suggests.Taxes, particularly the GST, were most often mentioned as a major issue, at 58 percent, with overall economic conditions next at 51) per cent and occupancy costs at 39 per cent.Just 37 per cent of retailers taking part in consulting firm Deloitte and Touche's annual retail Christmas outlook said they consider cross-border shopping a major issue.The environment was a big replace that iGST' money."There will be some sales tax on products and perhaps services.We fought the GST.We said it was a wrong tax at the wrong time." •COMPLETE FLOP' Chretien also called the government's effort to harmonize the GST with provincial sales taxes "a complete flop." The federation study comes after several provinces have issue to only five per cent.The rankings may come as a surprise, considering the damage retailers claim to be suffering as a result of cross-border shopping.The Retail Council of Canada has.for example, estimated that buying trips to the United States will cost stores in this country up to $3.5 billion and 55,000 jobs this year.Council president Alasdair McKichan said Tuesday he doesn’t believe the low ranking assigned to cross-border shopping undercuts the seriousness of the issue.SOME PROTECTED After speaking at a confe- dropped or delayed plans to integrate their retail taxes with the GST.Jelinek dismissed Chretien's complaints."Who knows what Mr.Chretien's position is on anything," he said outside the Commons.“You remember in the Gulf War.he flip flopped about three or four times.“1 wouldn’t be surprised if he changed lus mind again." rence where the survey results were presented, he said some stores are insulated from cross border shopping because they’re in cities far from the Canada-U.S.border.Retailers selling such products as furniture, major appliances.books and flowers are also protected because those items are either hard to bring back to Canada or just not commonly bought by Canadians in the United States.“But in commodities like clothing, footwear and many groceries, cross-border shopping is obviously a very major problem.” McKichan said.Retail industry analyst John Catherine Sw ift, chief economist at the federation, blames economic damage caused by the GST for as many as 200,000 lost jobs.“You can’t accurately peg that because we also had a recession and a lot of other things were going on at that time,” Swift said "But I think ItKt.OOO to200,000 is a moderate estimate of jobs lost because of the GST.” the recession is by far the biggest concern for stores.Concerned with their survi- ,, val.retailers have less time to worry about environmental issues.Winter said."They just want hot bodies to come through the door.” Eighty per cent of the retailers surveyed said the seven ( per cent GS T hurt their sales as J much as they feared and is still influencing consumer buying habits.The survey was sent in mid-September to 730 retailers across Canada with five or more locations and was completed by 24 per cent.we are working on alternatives and we have to find money to Taxes are retailers’ biggest concern Winter said he has found that Some mortgage rates below 10 per cent Canada files complaint over U.S.lumber duty TORONTO (CP) — Three-year mortgages are being offered by some major banks at below 10 per cent in the latest round of interest-rate cuts, giving homeowners lower monthly payments when they renew their mortgages.Royal Bank and the Bank of Montreal announced Tuesday they are cutting many of their mortgage rates by half a percentage point or more, effective today.Royal Trust also said it is dropping all its mortgage rates, most by half a percen- tage point, effective Thursday.“These are the lowest mortgage rates w'e have seen since 1987,” said Charles Mae-farlane, managing partner of personal financial services at Royal Trust.“Borrowers should consider locking into longer terms.” The banks appear to he trying to outdo each other and the trust companies, in their race to cut mortgage rates and attract customers.The Bank of Montreal lowered its rate for one-year closed mortgages to 8.9 per cent after Royal Bank dropped the rate to nine per cent.In both cases the rate had been 9.5 per cent.IDENTICAL RATES Royal Bank and the Bank of Montreal offer identical rates for closed mortgages with terms of six months (9.25 per cent), two years (9.625 per cent), three years (9.875 per cent), four years (10.25 per cent) and live years (10.25 per cent).As well, their six-month and one-year open mortgage rate is the same, at 10 per cent.Royal Trust offers six-month and one-year closed mortgages at nine per cent.Some of its other rates range from two years at 9.5 per cent to five years at 10.5 per cent.Mortgage rates have generally fallen more than three percentage points since a year ago.An example of how falling rates affect borrowers: If the rate for a $100.000 mortgage, amortized over 25 years, drops to 10 per cent from 10.5 per cent, the borrower saves about $34 in monthly payments.Case of the $2 billion with no place to go WASHINGTON (CP) — Canada has complained to an international trade watchdog about a U.S.duty against Canadian softwood lumber.The Canadian government filed its complaint wdth the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, a body that oversees world trade among its 96 member countries, said Malcolm McKechnie, a spokesman for the Canadian Embassy.The complaint, made Friday, argues that Canada’s timber-pricing practices are not subsidies, as the United States claimed in a case it initiated last week under its own trade procedures.Canada has requested a special meeting of the GATT committee on subsidies and duties.and for conciliation with the United States.U.S.lumber companies have for years insisted that Canadian boards are unfairly subsidized because of the low stum-page, or cutting, fees that the provinces charge companies to cut trees on Crown land.Canada says no subsidies exist.By Gord McIntosh OTTAWA (CP) — Current federal ledgers contain a $1.908-billion fund to finance a program that no longer exists.A Liberal MP wants assurances the money won’t become a slush fund to finance Tory promises in the next election.But Beryl Gaffney can’t get a straight answer on what Ottawa has been doing with the money, let alone how it will be used.At issue is an initiative of the Trudeau government in which a special tax was collected at the gas pumps to finance Canadian ownership of the oil and gas industry.More than $3.57 billion was collected between June 1982 and June 1985.when the Conservatives killed the special levy.In 1983, the Liberals used $1.66 billion from what was dubbed the Canadian Ownership Fund to buy Petrofina Canada Inc., leaving a balance that is now worth $1.908 billion.So what happened to that balance?Finance Minister Don Ma-zankowski seems to think the money has already been used to reduce the deficit.But Energy Minister Jake Epp says the fund is still active even though the government doesn’t have a new use for it.And a statement of operations for the fund dated last March 31 says it is still active and took in $231,903 last year from taxes still owing after oil company audits and hack-taxes cases.“1 think it is important for Canadians to know clearly what this money has been used for.and what it will be used for.” Gaffney, who represents a suburban Ottawa riding, said Tuesday.At our Iris Dining

deficit in a long explanation the Liberal MP labels as doublespeak.But Epp said in a written answer to a question Gaffney placed on the Commons order paper Sept.Hi that the money is sitting in the fund without a use.Gaffney added that if the Ma-zankowski’s explanation is true, the government didn't follow t he law because the Energy Adminstration Act says clearly that the money should be used for energy investments.Still, she said, deficit reduction is probably the best thing to do with the money since eve- CRSSSE Public Notice The Conseil régional de la santé et des services sociaux de

Another magazine from England By Phillip Alder The second bridge magazine published independently in England is International Popular Bridge Monthly.It costs $40 annually, including transatlantic airmail (212-866-5860).The magazine is aimed at the upper echelons, but there is a monthly declarer-play quiz, with prizes, for the less expert player.Today’s hand is from this competition.To test yourself, cover the East-West cards and plan the play in three no-trump.West leading the spade 10.South decided his hand was worth a three-no-trump rebid because of his five-card suit and excellent controls.Also he was influenced by his lack of interest in finding a major-suit fit.There are seven top tricks, but you don’t have time to play on diamonds.The right play is to start by cashing the three top hearts.If they break 3-3, you guarantee your contract by leading a club to dummy’s queen.You will collect two spades, four hearts, one diamond and two clubs.However, when the hearts split 4-2, you need three club tricks.The right play depends on the standard of your opponent.If East would always win the queen with the king, you should lead the club nine to the queen.But against an opponent who will realize that his only chance is to duck the king, the percentage play is to lead low to dummy's eight, hoping that West has the 10 and East the king (or, if East has the club 10, that the club king is doubleton).If the layout is as shown and East ducks his club king, you lead the queen for a winning finesse © 1M1.NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE Wednesday, Nov.6,1991 PHILLIP
