OTTAWA (CP) — Canadian engineer Philip Engs, a prisoner in Iran for two months, will be released.But officials at the External Affairs Department were not sure on Thursday when he would be set free.Spokesman Denys Tessier said Canadian officials had spoken with the Danish ambassador in Tehran, who said Engs had not been released as of midnight local time.There was speculation that Engs, 29, would be released in the morning today.But Tessier said there was no way to verify that until government offices open today in Theran.Earlier, a spokesman for the Iranian Embassy in Ottawa said Engs would soon be released.Majid Ghahremani told Broadcast News that the Danish ambassador, acting for Canada, was called to the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday and informed that Engs would be released into his custody.SEES NO PROBLEM Ghahremani saw no reason for any last-minute problems.The diplomat maintained that Engs, of St.Catharines, Ont., was guilty of possessing secret docu- ments and of taking pictures of top-secret installations.But he said to promote good will with Canada the decision had been made to release the engineer, who works for a French-American firm which services oil field equipment.There was no word on when Engs would return to Canada.His mother Sylvia, in an interview from St.Catharines, Ont., said “The signs are hopeful.‘We're just crossing our fingers.I’m feeling pretty good compared to before.” The family has had no communication from him, but sent letters to him from his brother, two sisters, mother and father, and friend in Ottawa by diplomatic channels.In New Delhi, a spokesman for External Affairs Minister Joe Clark would not confirm the report that Engs was to be released.“There are good signs but we re not willing to confirm or deny any reports,” spokesman Bill Chambers said Thursday.Crosbie chastizes Nfld.premier over agreement OTTAWA (CP) — Transport Minister John Crosbie has come out swinging at Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford over the controversial French fishing agreement.Crosbie says the Newfoundland government was told in advance that the federal government was considering a fisheries agreement with France.And in a sharply-worded telex, Crosbie chastized Peckford for not telephoning him or his aides about the province's concerns that extra cod was being given to the French.Crosbie said that after he saw a telegram from Newfoundland Fisheries Minister Tom Rideout Jan.22 about the extra cod for Newfoun-dland “I took steps of my own which I thought had resolved the issue — but this turned out not to be the case and an interim agreement was signed at Paris on Jan.24.” He said at least five senior Newfoundland government officials were told prior to the Jan.23 trip to Paris by two Canadian officials that an agreement with France was possible.“This does not excuse the failure to have full participation by your government representatives and industry representatives as had been in place up to Jan.16, but I outline this to have the public record straight as you request.” Crosbie said he didn't receive a copy of a telex sent by Peckford to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney on Jan.23 until Jan.26.“I regret that neither your minister nor you contacted me nor any of my staff by telephone on this during this whole period.I was only as far away as the telephone all week.’’ Recalling ambassador may threaten summit LONDON (CP) — Canada would run the risk of jeopardizing the coming summit of francophone countries if it recalled its ambassador to France because of a controversial fishing treaty, a spokesman for the ambassador said Thursday.The recall suggestion, raised earlier this week by Newfoundland Premier Brian Peckford, is aimed at the wrong target, the spokesman for Ambassador Lucien Bouchard said in a telephone interview from Paris.Bouchard was unavailable for comment because he was in Bordeaux making further arrangements for the second francophone summit scheduled to be held in Quebec City Sept.2-4.But his spokesman said it would be inappropriate to recall the ambassador — one of the strongest diplomatic protests that can be taken — and would be sure to anger the French.“It would put in question the next francophone summit," he said, predicting the French might take a wide range of counterprotests.“It could compromise the summit as well as (French President Francois) Mitterrand’s visit in May.” The spokesman also said it “doesn’t make any sense at all” for Peckford to suggest taking action against France to protest the controversial treaty negotiated by the two countries.“We must make clear the distinction between internal (Canadian) problems and international problems," he said.“We signed an agreement and we’re perfectly happy with it.It’s our problem.not France’s problem.” “I don’t think he (Peckford) had in mind the practical consequences’” of suggesting the ambassador be recalled / Peckford has been waging an intense campaign against the treaty.Recalling the ambassador has ’ been only one of his suggestions.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has also rejected Peckford’s demand.The treaty gives the French more access to fishing grounds off the coast of Newfoundland.Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Friday, February 6, 1987 50 cents mam New daily designed for readers with no time By Dennis Bueckert MONTREAL (CP) — Staffers at Montreal’s newest daily newspaper are full of optimism that the new tabloid with its blend of short, punchy stories and lots of pictures can carve a solid niche in the competitive francophone market."We re going to make room for ourselves in this market,” Jean-Guy Duguay, publisher of Le Matin said in an interview as his staff readied today’s first edition.“We’re going to get our share of the business.We w'ant 40,000 readers within a year and we’re going to do it.” A makeup of the first edition of Le Matin, on sale across Quebec, is strong on graphics, with a bright blue M on its masthead and a collage of color photographs It has 72 pages — although it won’t be that big every day — and sells for 50 cents.Montreal already has three French-language dailies: Le Journal de Montreal.La Presse, and Le Devoir, plus the Montreal Gazette.Everything about Le Matin is thoroughly researched, including the title.It wTas discovered that Montrealers like the name Le Matin, which means the morning, because it reminds them of coffee, the sunrise, and, surprisingly — a now-defunct daily launched by the once-powerful Union Nationale.That paper, called Montreal- Matm.was eventually sold to financier Paul Desmarais, who closed it after a strike in 1978.Duguay says Le Matin's formula is based on research showing that people don't have much time to spend reading a newspaper."The average is 12 to 15 minutes, and some people read two papers in that length of time,” he says.“We re going to give people a newspaper where they w ill get all the news in capsule.A picture is worth 1.000 words, and we'll use lots of pictures." But that doesn't mean the paper will be superficial, lie adds.Among the stories planned for the inaugural was a staff report from Haiti on the first anniversary % 1 a surgeon ÉS'iÜ*.I PHOTO BARBARA VERITY Dr.Robert Paulette has dedicated 20 years to the Verity has a profile of this devoted healer on pages surgical unit at the Sherbrooke Hospital.Barbara four and five.of the overthrow of Jean-Claude Duvalier s regime.The paper also sent a reporter to the Philippines for original coverage there.Duguay is confident that francophones will accept Le Matin as an authentic Quebec enterprise despite its close relationship with The Gazette, a member of the Toronto-based Southam group.The Gazette is printing and dis tributing the new paper, providing it with computer facilities and has financed some of the start-up costs."They're a supplier of services to us," said Duguay."We could have gone somewhere else.We're Quebecers, for Quebec, of Quebec.It's a French newspaper." Soviets to resume nuclear testing MOSCOW (AP) — The Soviet Union is abandoning its self declared ban on nuclear testing, but Kremlin officials declined today to say when the next Soviet nuclear explosion might take place.Vladimir Petrovsky, the deputy foreign minister, told a news conference the decision was “dictated by consideration of our own security" after the United States conducted a test earlier in the week.Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev said in December that Soviet testing would resume after the first U.S.test explosion of 1987, and called on the United States to take part in a joint moratorium.The Soviet Union has observed a unilateral ban since Aug.6, 1985, the 4()th anniversary of the U.S.bombing of Hiroshima.The U.S.Department of Energy conducted an underground nuclear test in Nevada on Tuesday, drawing condemnation from the Soviets and anti-nuclear groups.U.S.officials have defended continued testing during the Soviet moratorium, saying tests are necessary as.long as the West relies on nuclear weapons for defence.The tests are also connected to research for a space-based antimissile system.“With this provocative step, the American administration has rejected the example of the Soviet Union and refused to convert the unilateral moratorium into a two-way measure which could be used as the basis to stop the arms race,” Petrovsky said.Asked when the first Soviet nu clear test would be conducted, Petrovsky replied only that “this will be resolved by the Soviet government.” He and other officials on hand for a discussion on “alternatives to the arms race” stressed the Kremlin’s desire to negotiate with the United States on a joint test ban or to agree to interim measures, such as limits on the size of nuclear detonations.U.S.is not insensitive, White House insists WASHINGTON (CP) — The Reagan administration is “sensitive" to Canada's concerns about protecting its cultural sovereignty in any freer-trade deal with the United States, despite Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's charges to the contrary, a White House spokesman said Thursday."We are sensitive to and aware of his (Mulroney’s) concerns about cultural sovereignty in Canada.” the spokesman said in a cautiously-worded response to the latest Canada-U.S.war of words over the contentious cultural issue.The W’hite House statement, which also repeated the administration’s support for a trade agreement, followed Mulroney’s charge Wednesday that U.S.Trade Representative Clayton Yeutter had displayed "stunning ignorance" of Canada by saying Canada should be prepared to risk putting its culture on the freer-trade negotiating table.The White House spokesman said that while sensitive to Canadian cultural concerns, Y’eutter is “very concerned about making sure that in specific areas trade is free and fair." Yeutter stepped up the pressure on Canada to agree to discuss cultural industries at the bargai- ning table during an appearance Tuesday at a Canada-U.S.trade conference in Washington.“I’m prepared to have America's culture on the table and take the risk of having it damaged by Canadian influence after a free-trade arrangement,” he said.“I hope Canada's prepared to run that risk too.” Asked Thursday whether Yeutter had second thoughts about his comments in light of Mulroney's harsh reaction or cared to OTTAWA (CP) — Money market reaction to candid comments by new Bank of Canada governor John Crow, who said he was happy w ith a dollar worth 75 cents US, sent the dollar tumbling and robbed Canadians of any further interest rate relief for the time being.The comments to reporters after a morning appearance before the Commons finance committee kicked the already wobbly legs from under the currency and sent it tumbling below 75 cents US, comment further, his spokesman replied: “Absolutely not.” “Their (the White House) comment is perfectly appropriate and we have no further comment,” spokesman Roger Bolton said.Mulroney, responding to questions in the House of Commons, described Yeutter's comments as “completely insensitive and totally unacceptable'’ to the government and the Canadian public.Mulroney reiterated Canada will not put its “unique cultural identity" on the table.forcing the Bank of Canada to nudge up its trend-setting rate to stabilize the currency.The dollar lost close to three quarters of a cent against its U.S.counterpart Thursday closing at 74.77 cents US, down from a more than two-year high of 75.5 cents US on Wednesday.The dollar began trading Thursday at 75.38 cents US and continued to slip in morning trading.It hit 75.13 and then plunged below the 75-eent level US on news of Crow's comments.The White House spokesman, who spoke on condition he not be identified, was asked during the daily media briefing to respond to Mulroney’s comments.The bulk of his brief reply was devoted to promoting the freer-trade negotiations as being of “historical significance.” “The fact is if you can’t work out some kind of harmonious and productive trade with Canada, we re going to have a very tough time dealing with protection over the long haul anywhere,” he said.Bert Squires, chief money trader with the Royal Bank of Canada said “there was a bit of panic” when the market heard about Crow’s remarks.However, Squires and other analysts put the blame on market misinterpretation of Crow’s remarks and expressed sympathy for the new governor.“Poor John,” said Doug Pe- i ters, chief economist with the To- ! ronto Dominion Bank.“He didn’t ' need this just as he was starting ! out.” Bank rate boosted to stabilize dollar 2—The RECORD—Friday, February 6,1987 Copps to be the first MP to give birth during term Debate on a bill to deregulate transportation in Canada raged on until 3:09 a m Wednesday, more than nine hours after the Commons would normally rise.Most members were long gone from the chamber when adjournment was finally called.However, it is doubtful that any of the missing MPs had a better reason to be gone than Liberal Sheila Copps of Hamilton East.She had to leave about 7 p.m.Tuesday to attend pre-natal classes.She’s expecting a baby on March 24.It will be the first time that an MP has given birth.Capital Notebook By Gordon Grant Senator Royce Frith rose in his place this week to condemn what he considers abuse of English in reports.He objected to the use of “liaise” as a verb, saying senators should “mount some sort of fight against it as a last-ditch stand here.” And, he said, there was “one other verbalization that we should stand against” — using “inputting” as a verb.Frith railed on unopposed.No one in the Senate questioned “verbalization,” which means making nouns into verbs In a recent Commons debate, NDP MP Les Benjamin became incensed because of frequent interruptions by Conservative Mike Forrestall.The following exchange took place, but still didn’t stop Forrestall.Benjamin: Mike, would you get on the list and get up and make a speech?Forrestall: We are a great party.Benjamin.You have made four speeches sitting on your ass.Now shut up.Tory John Crosbie: You are talking through yours.A statue of former prime minister Arthur Meighen that has been stored in a warehouse in Ottawa for about 20 years has finally found a home — in St.Mary’s, Ont., his birthplace.The statue, about three metres tall, cost about $40,000 when it was finished in 1967 as part of a Centennial project.However, when Meighen’s wife saw it she “disliked it and wanted nothing to do with it at all,” says George Rolfe, senior fine arts consultant with the Department of Public Works.Former prime minister John Diefenbaker called the statue “a cross between Ichabod Crane and daddy-long-legs.” St.Mary's town council has decided it will put the statue in a park, about four blocks from where Meighen is buried.Some senators were taken aback recently when they noticed that a statement about the Oerlikon Aerospace Ltd.land deal, which has kept the Tory government in hot water lately, had appeared on letterhead from the office of Lowell Murray, government leader in the Senate.That would have been fine if the statement was official government issue by Murray.But it was clear from the contents that it was put out on behalf of the newest member of the red chamber, Jean Bazin.Bazin, an old friend of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, was a director of an Oerlikon subsidiary until last month.Murray, with the newly sworn Bazin sitting behind him, told Senato-rAllan MacEachen Wednesday that the use of his letterhead was all a mistake and he was unaware it had happened.It turns out a member of his staff mistakenly thought it was all right to type out the Bazin comments on Murray's stationery.Long-awaited Lennox ville youth centre slated to open soon — if there’s enough money from gov’t By Melanie Gruer SHERBROOKE — March 16 has been set aside as the tentative opening date for the Lennoxville youth centre.Chairman of the centre's board of directors Frances Noble says the drop-in centre will open at 5 Conley Street on the second floor of the old Quebec Maple Products building.In an interview Thursday, Noble said the centre will be open to youths between the ages of 13 to 18 years old who live in Lennoxville, Waterville, Huntingville and the rural areas of Ascot Township.The doors will be open Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights until the centre gets more money.It plans to stay open seven nights a week when they can afford it.Noble says the centre is able to open its doors — almost a year after the project was launched — because of financial help from the town of Lennoxville, a grant from the provincial Ministry of Health and Social Services and private donations.The centre was incorporated last October.But the opening date is still tentative as the group waits to find out exactly how much money they will get from the government grant.S3 Frances Noble.'expecting an increase’.“We have 15 to 25 active members and we re expecting an increase in that amount.They have meetings twice a month and one activity night a month at Ecole St.Antoine,’’ said Noble.The youth centre was initiated by the CLSC Gaston Lessard in Lennoxville.Noble got involved with the project after sitting on the town council’s sports and recreation committee.“We’re trying to get the kids off the streets and into supervised ac-tvities.According to a 1985 census there are 212 teenagers in the town between the ages of 13 and 18, "said the chairman.Noble said 60 per cent of the youths are English-speaking and the rest are francophones.“One of the aims is to promote better relations between the two groups,” she said.“The stumbling block is that most of the francophones are not bilingual,” said Noble, adding that a large majority of the English-speaking youths are able to speak both languages.And the group is still hard at work raising funds for future activities.The centre will hold a teen dance in co-operation with the Lennoxville Firefighters Association Saturday, March 7 from 7:30 until midnight at the Bishop's University pub.Proceeds from the activity will go to the youth centre.Tickets are available from members of the centre.As well, a logo contest to establish a trademark for the youth centre is already underway.Entries must be submitted before midnight, Friday, Feb.13 and teens between 13 and 18 years old living in the same areas served by the CLSC Gaston Lessard are eligible to participate.Entries submitted must be drawn in yellow and blue (black and white are not colors and may be included in the sketch” and have the words Centre des Jeunes.Lennoxville Youth Centre and the acronym TAC (Teen Activity Club).Noble asks that the design be simple so it can easily be reproduced.Drawings should be done on a standard sized piece of paper (S'/z by 11 inches).A complete set of rules are available from Bob Hal-sall or Melita Milden at Alexander Gault or from Lise Rouillard at Le Phare school.There will be a $25 prize for the winner, who will be chosen at the beginning of March, as well as a certificate presented by Member of Parliament for Sherbrooke, Jean Charest.The board of directors, which consits of four adults and two youth centre members, will select the winning entry.People’s commission wants to hear concerns that Quebec government too often ignores By Melanie Gruer SHERBROOKE — Got a beef?The Commission populaire itinérante wants to hear about it.The commission will be holding a public forum at the Le Baron Hotel Tuesday, Feb.10 at 7 p.m.to hear the public’s comments on political issues such as deregulation, privatization, free trade, unemployment and social services.Laureen Jobin, a representative from the teacher’s union at Cégep de Sherbrooke, is on the Eastern Townships organizing committee (Solidarité populaire Estrie) for the provincial group.At a Thursday press conference announcing the forum, Jobin said it was set up to “give the people a platform so they can speak out on their problems.” The commission is making a province-wide tour, listening to citizens and groups who want to speak out on political issues.Jobin said it’s time for a public gathering on matters where the government does not always work in the interests of the public.Gérin plan wins party as scandals scare voters M.M.i, ; • By Edison Stewart OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney will have to stop running Canada like a giant corporation, pay more heed to the grassroots and clean up the government’s badly tarnished image if it is ever to get re-elected.Eastern Townships Progressive Conserva- m ‘3*1 X, François Gérin.Cleaner image needed to fight off NDP growth.tive MP François Gérin said Thursday.“It’s serious, it is,” the rookie Quebec member said of the government’s troubles.“It’s getting worse and worse.” Gérin — leader of a group of Quebec Tories who want the government to ban corporate contributions to political parties altogether as one way to address the image problem — added that Mulroney is generally doing well as prime minister and he is confident he will address the problem soon.But “if I’m wrong it will be terrible in a few months.” ADVANCES THREATENED In particular, the 42-year-old MP said in an interview, questions about the government’s standards of morality appear to be seriously threatening the Conservatives’ 1984 breakthrough in Mulroney’s native Quebec.He cited the land scandal that forced the dismissal of junior transport minister André Bisson-nette last month and the conflict of interest charges that cost industry minister Sinclair Stevens his job last year.In his own riding of Megantic-Compton-Stanstead along the U.S.border south of Sherbrooke, Gérin said a poll he commissioned recently found NDP support in the riding up around 20 per cent from just six per cent in 1984, enough to split the Conservative vote next time and allow the Liberals to take back the seat.People there don’t know what the NDP stands for, he added over a breakfast of bacon and eggs in a downtown hotel, and the NDP has no organization in the area.CLEANER IMAGE But the NDP’s cleaner image seems to make the difference — “I can’t think of anything else.” A longtime Conservative who ran for the first time in 1984 because he was convinced the Tories finally had a chance in Quebec after electing a Quebecer as leader, Gérin said the government is doing well in such areas as economic growth and Mulroney is a good prime minister.“Except that the country is not a corporation and the party is not a shareholders’ meeting,” he added.“He will have to realize that and act accordingly.” He complained that there is little consultation with members of Parliament and even less with grassroots members of the party or its executive.A ban on corporate contributions could help change that because it would force political parties to pay more attention to the rank and file, he said.Gérin plans to bring the matter up again this weekend when Mulroney and the Quebec caucus meet in the Montreal suburb of Laval.He has also suggested getting rid of the government’s national and provincial patronage committees, tightening up guidelines on conflict of interest, implementation of a Commons committee’s recommendations on the registration of lobbyists and new procedures for the appointment of judges and other such officials.Whatever is done, it requires more than just the promise that the government will clean up its act, said Gérin, a lawyer with a master’s degree in commerce.MUST SHOW CHANGE “They will have to show Canadians that they have changed that, that and that.” Earlier this week in an interview with The Record, Gérin said the Bissonnette controversy at least brought the subject of his project into national focus.He said that for the first time since he brought the party clean-up project forward last year, it was getting attention from English-language media beyond the Townships.“In the last ten or 15 days it has been back on the surface,” he said.“The anglophone media, who more or less ignored it aside from yourselves, are putting some emphasis on it." “Before, it was the deputies from French-Canada who supported it,” he said.“Now it is them plus the party militants and the deputies from English Canada.” “For example, I don’t know a lot of privatization deals that went in the interest of the majority of the people.Look at Manoir Richelieu.Look at Quebecair,” she said."All of us are affected by these issues,” Jobin said.“It’s a call for the people to speak out on what concerns them.” Alain Poirier represents the mouvement des chômages and is also on the organizing committee with Jobin.He said political issues affect all Quebecers in some way.“The quality of our products, now there’s an issue that touches everyone.And culture too,” he said.“It’s a chance to look at what we’ve been given as a society and how we’ve been affected,” said Poirier.“We must question the role of the state in order to clarify that role,” he said.The commission’s idea is to gather public opinions and recom- mendations on political concerns and to present them collectively to the government through the organization.In the Eastern Townships, the commission represents 17 groups, including union s and social awarenesss groups such as the comité estrien pour 1’Amerique Centrale and regroupement des garderies.Provincially, the commission represents 60 community, political and union organizations.Prior to the discussion period, the Théâtre Parminou will give a presentation.Nicole Dorin, spokesman for the syndicat des professionnelles du gouvernement du Quebec, social worker and Cégep de Sherbrooke professor Denis La-moureux, Raymond Laliberté, former president of the CEQ and Esther Desilets of the Canadian Institute for Adult Education will voice the concerns of their respective groups.Ruth Rose of solidarité Quebec will moderate.City in housing boom: ’86 starts up 61 per cent SHERBROOKE — (GM) Sherbrooke had a housing boom last year, with residential housing starts up 61 per cent from 1985.The strong demand for new homes was part of a trend in Quebec that pushed housing starts to 60,348 year and gave house builders their best year since 1976, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said Wednesday.At 2,128 starts in 1986, Sherbrooke contruction activity was well above the 1985 figure of 1,306 starts.The city’s starts of single dwellings — houses, duplexes, and row houses — were up 75 per cent from 1985.Apartment units were up 57 per cent.In Montreal, housing contruction was up 75 per cent, and in Quebec City, 79 percent.Federal Housing Minister Stewart Mclnnes said builders excee- Weather Doonesbury ded all expectations last year, according to the communiqué.“Continued economic growth and stable interest rates in 1986 restored home buyers’ confidence,” he said in the news release.“The recent decline in interest rates and economic forecasts bode well for the industry in 1987.” Interest rates in general and mortgage rates in particular were down noticeably in the latter months of 1986 and are at their lowest levels in years.Current mortgage rates range from 9'/4 per cent for one-year terms to 10'/2 per cent for five-year terms.Rising interest rates started having an impact on house building in 1979, and the industry was severely hit by the recession of the early 1980s.Last year’s figures mark the first significant improvement since then.BY GARRY TRUDEAU #1___ icBcora Georg* MacLaren,

6.1987^3 The Townships fl___«£1 uccorii Owner downplays criticism; new crew already in training The troubles are over and people are safe in their homes — Security 77 By Charles Bury ROCK FOREST — The case of the fire chief who got fired — and took his department with him — continues to attract attention from far and wide.Charges and countercharges have flown every which way but up, as have the attitudes of the main warriors in an extended battle for the hearts, the minds, and the the town councils of Rock Forest and St-Élie d’Orford.The private firm Security 77 says it will continue to provide fire safety tp the people of Rock Forest and St-Élie in spite of losing its fulltime fire chief and 19 of his squad of volunteers Tuesday.At a press conference Thursday, Security 77 president Germain Bélanger introduced his quickly reconstituted department, although he is still looking for a new fulltime chief — “one who won’t stick knives in my back," he said — to replaced René Moreau, who was fired Wednesday after he refused to resign.READY TO REACT Bélanger said the people of the two towns can sleep soundly in the knowledge that Security 77 is ready to react quickly in any emergency situation, even though the company has a greener crew than it did two days ago.The service has 19 part-time, paid ‘volunteer’ firemen compa- red to 29 at the beginning of the week.On Tuesday, 19 quit after Moreau was fired ; Wednesday, ten new volunteers signed up.“Six are new to firefighting and two have finished their courses,” Bélanger said.The ninth new face around the Security 77 fireball on Bourque Blvd.in Rock Forest belongs to Montreal firemen Daniel Desau-tels, who Bélanger named deputy chief Thursday.Desautels has offered to train the new brigade and act as chief until a permanent replacement is found.Bélanger said Desautels will easily be able to fit his Security 77 duties around his shift work in Montreal.The controversy is unlikely to have an immediate effect on fire protection in the two towns.Both have two emergency fire protection agreements — with Sherbrooke, which is located just east of them and has a large full-time fire department, and Deauville, just to the west, which has a modest volunteer force.SHERBROOKE PREPARED “Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon," Bélanger said, "I had a call from Sgt.Gérard Boudreau of the Sherbrooke fire department.He said they are ready to back us up at any time and in any circumstances.That’s pretty good support, coming from a department like that.” “The people of Rock Forest and St-Élie have nothing to fear.” Bélanger said his troubles are mostly the result of a personality conflict between himself and former chief Moreau "Nine months ago he said everything was fine, and now he says it’s all upside down.He’s been sticking knives in my back.” T ve had calls from people I know who are employers themselves,” Bélanger added."They ask me luw I have been able to put up with a guy like that

St-Élie to form a combined, municipal fire department,” he said, "and he wanted to be its chief.He wants to put me out.” TIGHT WITH SUPPLIES?Bélanger was blamed by some of the firemen who quit.They claimed he didn't pay them on time, was too tight with supplies such as mittens and flashlights, and was a poor manager who meddled in their work.He refuted the criticism point by point.“Since the day we started operating in February, 1985, we have never had a single problem at the bank,” he said."We have no problems at all in that regard.” "We had a big fire on December 3 RKCORO/CHARLES BURY

the one who’s supposed to be in charge, you have to get involved.” ‘UN VRAI' Bélanger sums up his opinion of his ex-employee in one word: "C’est un troublemaker, un vrai ” Moreau replies that Bélanger is the author of his own misfortune.Until a month ago, Security 77 also provided private-detective, shadowing, and security-guard services.“If I was so incompetent, I don’t know why a guy with his own private investigation company couldn’t notice it,” Moreau said.Echoing some of the volunteers who left Security 77 when he was fired, Moreau also said Bélanger sometimes sent too few firemen to respond to calls."On some occasions he only sent two or three guys on a call," Moreau said.“They could have been serious.” Bélanger countered with statistics.“According to the figures we got from Sherbrooke when we took over," he said, "we expected to receive between 40 and 60 calls a month.We’ve had exactly 279since February ’85, and we have only needed backup from Sherbrooke two or three times, for the really big ones.” "Where are the complaints?” BLAMES BÉLANGER One person who complained about Belanger's troubles is St Louis-sur-Richelieu businessman Jean-Yves Forcier, whooperatesa similar service which provides fire protection in the lower-Richelieu villages of St-Louis, St-Pierre-de-Sorel, St-Aimé and Massueville.Forcier called the Sherbrooke newspaper La Tribune Wednesday to say that Security 77 and its troubles had caused his insurance agent &nd “pay five times more” than before for public liability coverage.INSURANCE Bélanger replied that his company has had no trouble with its insurance."1 have no insurance problem of any kind,” he said.“Insurance rates everywhere have doubled.even tripled in the last year,” he said “That can’t be blamed on me.What he said is absolutely false.” Bélanger had bad words for Fortier too."He was brought in to ad vise us when St-Élie and Rock Forest first looked at the idea," he said."He wanted to sell us some old milk trucks he didn’t need any more and had converted to so-called fire trucks.If we had followed his advice we wouldn't have lasted two weeks.” But most of the former Justice Ministry security supervisor’s bitterness is reserved for René Moreau.“If he wants that much to be a fire chief,” Bélanger said, “he can buy the company.But I don’t think he could afford the down payment.” Boys were ready but fire wasn’t ROCK FOREST — Security 77 had its first post-controversy fire call Thursday, but all that could be proved was that the company’s new volunteers are eager.The call came in at about 3 p.m., only four hours after the firm’s owner Germain Bélanger introduced its new part-time firemen The volunteers responded immediately and were on the scene in minutes — only to discover a minor chimney fire

Bergamin.Goal is ‘to open the road to have bus service.’ mm % By Melanie Gruer SHERBROOKE — Despite angry reaction from his tenants, real estate developer Evelino Bergamin says his petition protesting a town bylaw prohibiting the construction of large apartment buildings in Lennoxville does mention bus service and improved roads through Oxford Crescent in Lennoxville.In an interview Thursday, Bergamin, who owns 12 buildings in Lennoxville including the Oxford development, said it is clearly stated in his petition that if more apartment blocks are built on the crescent, there would be a bus service through the development since the crescent-shaped street would be completed to meet Belvidere.“The goal of all of this was to open the road to have bus service,” he said."Maybe they didn t understand." Some tenants living in the Bergamin buildings claim a petition they signed was circulated under false pretences since those passing around the petition said by signing, the residents would have a bus service and more roads around the crescent.WANTED MORE BUILDINGS But when Bergamin presented the petition to the Lennoxville town council Monday night, he said the “81.44 per cent" of his tenants who signed the petition wanted to see more Bergamin buildings constructed around the crescent.But angry residents said the petition never mentioned the words bus’ or roads'.Ken Jackson, who lives on Oxford, said Wednesday all the petition said was that those who signed wanted more Bergamin buildings.Another resident.Jean Fournier said."They tricked us into signing.No one asked me if I wanted more apartment buildings around here." The petition, signed by 316 of Bergamin's 388 tenants on Oxford and along Belvidere, said."We the undersigned, residents in the zones RD-1, RD-2, and RD-3 ask the municipality to maintain in the said zones the construction of apartment dwelling in the area of Oxford street in conformity of the present environment and of the planning previously approved by the municipality.This request is made to insure in the district a uniformity in the buildings and to recover more taxes to benefit to the entire community.” Lennoxville Mayor Duncan Bruce said Thursday he is “Going to have to look at the petition more carefully”.Bruce said “nine or ten" of Bergamin’s tenants had registered complaints about the petition at the town hall by Thursday night.WERE MAYBE WRONG’ “They said they didn't understand the petition when they signed it.They thought they were signing a petition against more apartment building," said Bruce.Bergamin said those who are protesting the petition “were maybe wrong” and that “maybe they didn't understand.” Bergamin said when he originally presented his land development proposal for the Oxford apartment enlargement a few years ago, he spoke to the town about approaching the Commission muncipale de transport de Sherbrooke (CMTS) to extend its service through the crescent .Bruce said Bergamin did make the demand but the town council “has not approached the CMTS at the present time.It depends on the construction here and then we’ll go to the CMTS." Bergamin said “what’s missing in the development is the bus service,” since residents of the crescent must walk up to Belvidere to catch a bus."The town is refusing a development that would bring in new revenue and people who want to live in Lennoxville need new places to live.There is a limited amount of housing,” said Bergamin.TAXES WILL GO UP’ The land developer claimed that the ten more buildings he wants to build around the crescent would generate more tax dollars for the town."People don’t realize their taxes will go up if this land is not developed,” he said "People in Lennoxville already pay more muncipal taxes than in Ascot or Rock Forest or Waterville or Fleurimont." he said, adding that municipal taxes in Lennoxville are 50 per cent higher than those paid by Ascot residents and he “has the papers to prove it.” “The taxes are already high and the council is thinking of doing property re-evaluations that would raise the price more,” Bergamin said.“I have had those 12 buildings for 10 years and those people are happy to live there,” he said.“There are residences in downtown that don’t even conform to fire safety bylaws — old buildings,” said Bergamin.PUBLIC NOTICE Bergamin intends to publish a public notice next week urging Lennoxville citizens to register their complaints against the propo sed bylaw forbidding apartment block construction: “Do you want to: See your taxes increase?” reads the advertisement.“Do you want to: Have your rent increase?Do you want to: Maintain the uniformity in the town’s planning?Do you want to: Continue enjoying the best standard of life?Do you want to: Diminish the aspect of Oxford Crescent area?Do you want to: Limit the needs of housing?” Bergamin’s ad is signed: “bought and paid for by a group of concerned citizens.” Mayor Bruce said citizens registering complaints against bylaws is common practice."We have days of consultation where people come and register their names.If we have enough names (250 — 300) there will be a referendum.” Youth sent for tests before trial in Daveluyville nursing home murders ARTHABASKA - A 15-year-old youth, charged in the stabbing deaths of two women in a nearby senior citizens' home, has been ordered to undergo psychiatric testing.Thursday Youth Court Judge Pierre Houde ordered the youth, whose name cannot be revealed, to appear again March 5?to deter- mine whether he is fit to stand trial.At the brief court appearance, three charges of attempted murder were added to the two charges of first-degree murder.Last Friday night an intruder wearing a hood and gloves and brandishing a knife entered the basement of the one-storey Foyer Atariga in the nearby small town of Daveluyville.Agathe Huot, 44, a co-owner of the home and Alma Arsenault, 88, died in the bloody attack.Three other people were injured.Germaine Dorion and her husband Lionel, both 76.underwent surgery and Lorette Trottier, 76, broke her hip as she tried to flee the attacker.A fourth person was treated briefly in hospital and released.« 4—The RECORD—Friday, February 6, 1987 People —____««I KBCOra « 4 Sherbrooke surgeon has done up to 15,000 operations Dr Paulette maintains V^dTHISEl Dr.Paulette maintains calm, compassion despite stressful 15-hour workday By Barbara Verity There’s a message on my answer machine: “Report at the OR on the third floor at 8:15 tomorrow morning to gown before the operation.Dr.Paulette will meet you there.” Will 1 have to scrub down too?I wonder.I’m not sure whether to bring my camera and notebook.How do you scrub down a camera and a notebook?I decide to bring them just in case.Morning comes slowly.But I'm paired.Meanwhile.I've gained my there right on time, slightly weaklegged, to watch what will be my first operation and what could be Dr.Robert Paulette’s 15,000th operation.He estimates that in the past 32 years — seven in surgery training as a resident doctor and 25 as a surgeon at the Sherbrooke Hospital — he’s done between 12,000 and 15,000 operations.The day begins early lor Dr.Paulette and ends late.Usually about fifteen hours long.Then on the weekend there’s another 10 hours of patient visits and paperwork.His work week lasts from 80 to 95 hours.Dr.Paulette is going through his three minute scrubdown, lathering up past the elbows and paying particular attention to his fingernails.I learn that as long as I wear a mask and an O.R.gown and stay at least five feet away from the patient in the operating room, there’s no need to scrub down.My camera and notebook are safe after all.EXPOSED AND REPAIRED His first operation of the day starts around 9, and before 10 o’clock arrives the patient's hernia has been exposed, snipped and re- OR legs and all is well.There’s little time before Dr.Paulette greets his next patient, a man whose lungs will be examined by endoscopy.This involves inserting a long fibre-optic tube through the patient’s nose down to his lungs.At the end of the tube inserted in the patient is a light and a lens, allowing the doctor to look through a viewer at the other end and watch for abnormalities.The patient is awake the whole time.I have a look too.through the extra viewer that branches off from the main tube, and watch as the lens goes past the vocal chords, down the bronchial tube and on to the openings of the lungs.Even the patient has a look.‘Quite amazing,” he comments.I agree.This is the field of endoscopy, which Dr.Paulette has used at the hospital since 1974.Most of the body’s organs can be viewed by various tubes, which wind through the body, peer around corners and often eliminate the need to cut the patient open for diagnosis.Photographs or videotapes can be taken during the process and then be Only the posture of the doctor and his assistants, as they lean over the patient in concentration, reveals the intensity of the process.Hands are poised to «F*5* The day begins early for Dr.Paulette and ends late.Usually about fifteen hours long.Then on the weekend there's another 10 hours of patient visits and paperwork.His work week lasts from 80 to 95 hours.used for training nurses, medical students and other doctors.CAN’T SEE CAUSE This particular patient has more colds than seem normal, and they last several months, causing him to use more antibiotics than he likes."1 don't see any cause.It looks perfectly normal,” Dr.Paulette says after looking inside.“Some people like yourself are more prone to a lot of colds.Sometimes it takes a while to build up an immunity.” "Now that wasn’t all that pleasant.but it wasn’t horrible, was it?” “A piece of cake.” the patient replies."I’m glad to know there’s nothing too serious,” he adds.^Thanks a lot.” That process took half an hour; Dr.Paulette goes to the desk and records his findings on tape.Then he heads into the recovery room to speak to his hernia patient."Comment ça va.Jean?Ça bien été.C'est tout arrangé." Paulette says.The patient nods his understanding.There are a few more minutes to look over more than a dozen X-rays of the next patient’s intestines, the subject of that day's major operation.Dr.Paulette will be removing a portion of the large intestine because of the presence of polyps — abnormal growths.There are three stages to surgery — the pre-operative, when the problem is identified by diagnosis; the operation itself; and finally, the post-operative, when the patient goes to the recovery room or intensive care.BASED ON THE NURSES ’’A patient sees much more of the nursing staff in the hospital — and their care is really an important thing.The reputation of a hospital is very often based on the nurses on the staff rather than the doctors,” Dr.Paulette says.receive an instrument and to help hold other instruments in place.There’sa moment to joke outside the operating room.An orderly goes by carrying 12 boxes of new equipment in a balancing act worthy of the circus.“Got a match?” Dr.Paulette quips.With the patient almost ready for the operation.Dr.Paulette starts scrubbing down again.But he’s interrupted by a nurse from one of the other two operating rooms, where another operation is underway.“We need you,” she tells him." “Is it a bleeding problem?” “Yes.It’s not severe, but it’s not controlled yet.” “Do you think Dr.Ross would be free?” “I’ll call him.” Dr.Paulette comments.T have to make a decision about what I'm going to do.If it’s an emergency.n mm _._ Before performing surgery.Dr.Paulette goes through his three minute his fingernails.I'll have to go and help.But I don’t want to leave my patient who is already anesthetized.You have to be prepared at any time for the call of a doctor who needs you.Usually it's unusual bleeding." The nurse returns.“Dr.Ross can come.He wonders if the resident doctor could go in immediately.” ABOUT FOUR HOURS Dr Paulette proceeds with his scrubbing and is soon in the operating room with his patient for what will be about a four hour operation.With him are six others: two assistant surgeons, resident Dr.Michel Chagnon and intern Dr.Olga Dafniotis; an anaesthetist.Dr.Richard Choquette, and his assistant; a scrub nurse, Jolene Stewart.who hands instruments to Dr.Paulette and anticipates his needs ; a circulating nurse, Margaret Sylvester, who oversees that everything needed is supplied and that every instrument and stick sponge are counted, by herself and another nurse, before the incision is made in the patient and before it is sewn up.The head operating nurse.Heather Bowman, comes in from time to time to see how things are going.Three huge lights beam down on the incision.All the patient's bodily functions — blood pressure, heart, breathing, body fluids — are being monitored on sophisticated-looking equipment.The work goes on steadily.Only the posture of the doctor and his assistants, as they lean over the patient in concentration, reveals the intensity of the process.Hands are poised to receive an instrument and to help hold other instruments in place."We have to keep the room cool for the staff.They're working hard and they're working under the lights, and it gets unbearable.We keep the patient warm with different methods," circulating nurse Margaret Sylvester explains.The operation still has another few hours before it will be finished.Then Dr.Paulette will have progress notes to put on patients’ charts.He'll get calls from outside the hospital.And there'll be patients to admit and others to discharge for the next day.He'll have an hour at home for dinner before he’s back at the hospital in the evening to see more patients and to finish what he didn't have time for earlier in the day.Dr.Paulette does operations on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.Also on weekends if there’s an emergency.The rest of the time is spent visiting patients in the hospital.doing paperwork, checking X-rays and test results, and seeing patients in his office.Dr.Paulette carries out his work with a calmness and a sense of compassion that belie the stress and strain of a job which takes a heavy toll on most surgeons.“It's a night and day phenomenon.” he says.Not many last 25 years.He sees this anniversary year in his profession as a time of reflection.a time to assess what he's contributed, a time to look ahead.Asked whether he’d do it all again —- the 15 years of studying and training before he could even start to practise, the 85 hour weeks, the stress and strain of it all — he replies, “I love my work and I like seeing sick people get well.If you don't have your health, what have you got?"I don't think there's anything in life I'd sooner be doing." Other interests in life give variety — and probably relief — from work pressures.Photography, for instance, in which he’s proven himself to be particularly adept at por tray ing the landscapes of the many countries he has visited.Although he's taken photos since his teens, he has only recently exhibited his work, quickly gaining the admiration of viewers.His fourth solo exhibition will be held this spring at the Homestead Gallery near Len-noxville.Another exhibit was held throughout January at the McGill Faculty Club in Montreal.His photographs are also permanently displayed in the Dufferin St.branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce in Sherbrooke.He and his wife.Madge, have travelled extensively in North America and Europe, garnering beautiful images of mountains, lakes, oceans and forests.Madge Continued on next page scrubdown, lathering up past the elbows and paying particular attention to Photos by Barbara Verity People The RECORD—Friday, February 6.1987—5 1_____ftei tEecora People are people, not patients, even after 32 years of surgery From last page helps him spot good shots and carries a camera herself now Bob is expanding his collection of Townships landscapes, which he hopes to publish in a book.Both Paulettes also contribute their considerable skills to community life.Madge puts her education skills, gained at McGill and the University of London, to use as chairman of the Eastern Townships School Board.She was one of the top students in the province at her high school graduation and later earned the Wilson Scholarship to study at McGill and then the Weston Scholarship to study at the University of London.Her involvement in the community includes being on the Corporation of Bishop’s University and on the national board of directors of the Intervarsity Christian Fellowship of Canada, as well as having recently been chairman of the Sherbrooke Hospital Ladies Auxiliary.For six years, she also was a member of the Protestant Committee of the Superior Council of Education for Quebec.Madge and Bob have four children: Wendy, a McGill-trained pediatrician.practising in Edmonton and married to Dr.Richard Vau-dry.who grew up in Lennoxville and now teaches history ;

and Jane, who is studying at the General Motors institute of engineering and management in Michigan.TRIP TO INDIA Dr.Paulette traces the roots of his involvement in community life to a trip he took to India in 1953, as a McGill student delegate to the World University Service Seminar.That visit changed his life.“In North American society we — and he’s quite willing to demonstrate his skill with a more recent edition.He delivered 156 papers a day to people in the north ward, where he lived The decision taken in high school to study medicine was influenced by the strong example of two physicians.Dr.Arthur Hill, the Paulette’s family doctor, and Dr.Bill Klinck of Lennoxville.TOP HONORS In both studies and sports, he distinguished himself early, winning the Tate Shield for track and field and the Newton Memorial Trophy for athletics and sportsmanship, as well as graduating as the top student and being his class valedictorian.Dr.T.J.Quintin.who moved to Sherbrooke from Ormstown in 1946, was present at the grad ceremonies and continued to encourage him in medicine over the next 40 years.At graduation, Robert Paulette he was one of the top students in the province and one of three Canadian students to win a McConnell Scholarship, which took him through his undergraduate years in univjersity.At McGill he kept to the same pattern: "A” marks throughout; a member of the Alpha Omega Alpha Honour Medical Society for academic achievement; president of the Osier Society; vice-president of the Student Society; and runner-up in a tight race for a Rhodes scholarship.US POSTGRADUATE After McGill and internship at the Montreal General Hospital, his studies continued another seven years at the NYU-Bellevue Medical Center in New York City, where he trained in general surgery, and then at the University of Missouri, where he concentrated on cardiac and thoracic surgery.“I’m one of the few who have come back to my home town to practise my profession," Dr.Paulette says.'There is job satisfaction in looking after problems in a time of need, being available to do it and doing it with a high degree of competence.You're facing sometimes life and death issues.It's nice for patients to go into the operating room with a feeling of confidence in the people looking after them.’ complain about this, that and the other thing.In Third World countries it’s a fight for life every day — the poverty, lack of food, housing.There’s a great need for us who have so much to share with others who even lack the basic necessities of life.” Dr.Paulette has been a deacon for 20 years at Grace Chapel and on the executive of Community Concerts for many years.Both he and his wife served several years on the boards of Maplemount Homes for the children of delinquent parents as well as for Frontier Lodge Camp.For the past two years, he has been co-chairman of the Sherbrooke Hospital financial campaign.When Dr.Paulette works in the community, he’s helping his hometown.Born in Sherbrooke in 1930, he studied at Sherbrooke High, and.like many kids before and after, delivered The Sherbrooke Daily Record to make pocket money.He claims to have been “pretty good” at flipping the newspaper over the shoulder.under the arm “Why should I come back to little old Sherbrooke?It seemed that there wouldn’t be enough work for a specialist.But in ’61, when 1 started my practice here, the first reports linked cigarette smoking with cancer of the lung.There has been an increasing incidence of lung problems since then.So there was a need and I was encouraged to come by Dr.A1 Dougan.who had completed his training in anesthesia and was the new medical director.A surgeon has to have a good anaesthetist, so we made a team in thoracic surgery,” he explains.“There has been a strong bond of mutual respect and friendship.” LOOKING BACK Twelve thousand to fifteen thousand operations later.Dr.Paulette now looks back on what it means to be a surgeon.“It’s important to be a very competent person and at the same time to show a lot of love and compassion for people.One has to be reliable and available and keep up with advances by continuing post graduate studies.It never Dr.Paulette traces the roots of his involvement in community life to a trip he took to India in 1953, as a McGill student delegate to the World University Service Seminar.That visit changed his life.*« ?• ¦ÇWÎÛ viipÉ m.Dr.Paulette has proven particularly adept at portraying the landscapes of the different places he has visited through photography.stops.” Dr.Paulette sees about 500 new patients a year.“You get to know people as people.I don’t look at them as patients; I look at them as friends.Many were friends before they came patients.And many patients have become good friends.Your best — or your worst — publicity comes from the people you’ve operated on.“Health care is a team effort.There is job satisfaction in looking after problems in a time of need, being available to do it and doing it with a high degree of competence.You’re facing sometimes life and death issues.It’s nice for patients to go into the operating room with a feeling of confidence in the people looking after them.” CALMNESS How does he deal with the stress and strain?Perhaps it’s his sense of calmness that has something to do with it.He puts it down to top training and the confidence that results.“You go into it because you really want to do it.You accept the challenge and the training.The byproduct of a long-term training is tremendous confidence in your ability to do things and do them well.If you’ve had a good training and increasing amount of experience, it gives you great confidence and diminishes the stress.” And there is some comic relief to the stress, like when Paulette received a moose ear as a gift from a grateful patient — a departure from the usual box of chocolates.“One fellow had a nasty problem and we got him through it.He was determined to go hunting that fall and wanted to bring me back some moose meat.I told him that 1 don't eat moose meat, but 1 jokingly said, ‘If you really want to go, I want to see the ear of that moose.’ And sure enough he showed up with the ear.I put it in a bag in the garage and got several chuckles out of it.” EARLY SPECIALIST For 20 years Dr.Paulette has been chief of surgery at the Sherbrooke Hospital.His speciality of thoracic surgery has made him a pioneer in this field in the Eastern Townships, having been the first to specialize in chest surgery in the Sherbrooke area.He was the only thoracic surgeon outside Montreal and Quebec City from 1961 to 1967.He has also been chairman of the medical staff twice and a member of the medical advisory committee as well as a clinical professor of surgery at the University of Sherbrooke medical centre.He combined his love of medicine and photography by expanding the medical photography section at the Sherbrooke Hospital.He has recorded on film thousands of cases of interesting problems — photos then used for teaching.The photographs he takes on his travels now number in the thousands too.“We were driving into Montreal recently.It was very foggy absolutely eerie.The buildings were trying to poke through this fog.It was a very sense, obscure atmosphere.” Bob Paulette didn’t have time to capture that scene.But he will one day.And then he’ll gather pleasure from sharing the beauty with others.Just as he enjoys seeing people get well Other interests in life, such as photography, give variety — and probably relief — from work pressures for Dr.Paulette.CONGRATULATIONS TO BELANGER & HEBERT CA FOR THEIR PARTICIPATION TO THE MERCURIADES OF 1987 GOOD LUCK!

RECORD—Friday, February 6, 1987 #1____ftgl lEecora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Overstepped any already generous boundaries Throughout his lengthy career as a prominent TV evangelist, about the only thing that saccharinely-charming Oral Roberts has drawn more of than devout supporters and trainloads of money, is criticism.Preaching about seeing a 900-foot high Jesus for instance, (something Roberts suffered caustic tongue-lashing for) deserves little praise.But at least, if nothing else, it’s funny.Roberts recent campaign, which is receiving much attention, especially in the United States, has overstepped any already generous boundaries between preaching and money-grubbing.Roberts, and his son — blosomming as the toothy preacher-type — Richard, are saying that Oral will die unless he raises not a penny less than $8 million by (and this is exact) March 31, 1987.Roberts has $4.5 million to go in his fund-raising campaign that started early in the year.Roberts said God spoke to him at the time saying ‘Tm going to call you home in one year” unless the big-time preacher came up with the loot.If one thing’s certain, no matter what religion there is, no matter what God, the likelihood of a Lord issuing a life-threatening contract for a specific amount of money is mercifully very low to non-existant.Even if the money is supposedly slated for an Oral Roberts worldwide network of medical missions.But more shameful than Roberts’s outright salespitch for money are the television stations that are covering the event.When he first began this do-or-die scheme, some of the stations cried boycott’.But very few have actually censored any of Oral’s shows including CFCF-TV in Montreal.If Roberts didn’t have access to millions of sheltered North Americans that are prone to believing such hogwash “in the name of the Lord”, then his campaign would be deader than he says he will be.Probably, if he didn’t have access to millions and therefore wasn’t able to raise the dough, Roberts would be telling us that God miraculously commuted his sentence.It might make for good viewing for audiences but many people do fall for his lines.High ratings or not, television networks (more than 200 carry his weekly program) have a moral obligation not to run blatant commercial pleas.Craig pearson Sri Lankan tiger rebels make bombs for battle By Marilyn Odchimar JAFFNA ( Reuter) — The dominant rebel group in Sri Lanka is making bombs, growing mushrooms and even eonstructing its own plane as it builds a shadow government in the island’s northern peninsula of Jaffna.Starting as a rag-tag band of 27 disgruntled youths in 1973, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam has become the most powerful of the guerrilla groups fighting for a separate state for Sri Lanka's minority Tamil community.After pushing the military back to its camps in mid-1985, they now rule most of the peninsula.Their leaders, accompanied by teenage bodyguards clutching AK-47 rifles, walk around with impunity in the town of Jaffna, 325 kilometres north of Colombo, the national capital.That was impossible in early 1985, when army convoys rumbled through the dusty plain from the troops’ main camp at the old Dutch-built fort in the heart of Jaffna town.All roads leading to the fort are now blocked with tires, sandbags, soil and, in one case, a high concrete wall.FIGHT BACK The Tigers respond to mortar bombardments, helicopter gunships and Italian-made fighter bombers with home-made 150mm and 90mm mortars and an array of imported weapons.Balasubramaniam Canagaratnam, a rebel spokesman known by the nom de guerre of Rahim, said the weapons were more modern than those used by the Sri Lankan military.They include Belgian-made 60mm mortars.West German Heckler and Koch G3 A3 rifles, and U.S.M16 rifles, some of which Rahim said were marked as U.S.Army property.The Tigers also have their own weapons factory.Two Czechoslovakian lathes and a Soviet-made mill produce 50 mortar bombs and 100 grenades a day.The prototype of a two-seat, single-engine plane is also being assembled.Senior Sri Lankan military officials say they believed the Tigers had made chemical weapons from large quantities of chlorine stolen last year from a warehouse in Paranthan.a town outside the peninsula.RUN VILLAGES The rebels administer civilian life in the peninsula through what they call public relations offices in each of 29 political divisions, which are equivalent to a village.The offices supervise criminal and civil courts, collect taxes from shops and restaurants, license slaughterhouses and restaurants and operate farms.The farms grow mushrooms and other vegetables and breed prawns, rabbits, pigs and poultry.The Tigers have taken over the licensing of televisions.radios, movies and foreign employment agencies from the rival Eelam Peoples Revolutionary Liberation Front, which they smashed in December Residents of Jaffna said the Sri Lankan government’s administration in the area was still intact but development projects are at a standstill.ttiiiiiiihitutt I \ ffotrL S I NOT IkW làÎMf SENATE.PORT .iiiiiiuimumiituir] ON.sma h00

others are developing peace courses which can fit into the existing requirements and disciplines (science, history, social studies.geography, psychology, literature etc.) or where it is appropriate, peace studies which can be added as its own discipline ; and others are offe- 'parËfM By Rosemary Sullivan ring peace education workshops and providing educational materials which inform all of us.Just received from a teacher with 35 years classroom experience, Donald DeMott, “Peacebuilding; a Tes-tbook” (High Falls Publication, 4408 E.Groveland Rd., Genesco, N.Y.14454).The book was written with teachers in mind and includes 30 lesson plans designed for use with high school students as well as mature adults.As teacher DeMott says in his introduction, “One of the major conclusions of the science of peacebuilding is that widespread knowledge of the technology of peace is the most critical factor in bringing about a permamently peaceful worl-d.In writing, I have tried always to visualize the classroom setting, whether it be a high school class, a college class, a church youth or adult class, or a civic group.Peacebuilding is not simply an academic knowledge, it is an active skill.Like any skill it must be learned by practice.the learning of peacebuilding should be a constant, dynamic interaction between the classroom and the real world.The teacher will quickly see that many of the examples and discussion questions refer to the classroom situation itself, and may imply changes in the teacher’s own behavior.Peacebuilding cannot be taught by the ‘do as I say, not as I do’ method.The teacher must expect to be a part of the process of change.” The focus of this book is “peace technology”, the process of peacemaking including creative conflict resolution, nonviolence, cooperation as well as information on issues such as the arms race, GRIT, MIRV, nuclear weapons, poverty.Russia, the UN, the World Court, justice, and “antiwar activities that also build peace”.It includes this thumbnail sketch of how the U.S.and Canada moved from war to peace: "it did not happen because of weapons.Neither side threatened the other into becoming peaceful and friendly.Peace did not come by military conquest and surrender.Armaments did not bring peace.It did not happen because of disarmament.Americans never sat down with Canadians and signed a disarmament treaty.The forts around Lake Ontario and all along the Saint Lawrence became museums because they were no longer useful for anything.Disarmament was caused by peace, not the other way around.In fact, we’ve never really disarmed.The U.S.Air Force base at Rome, N.Y.is within easy striking distance of Ottawa, but no one considers that fact to have any revelance for the relationship between Canada and the U.S.Our peaceful relationship was not caused by armaments, it was not caused by disarmament, it is not affected by armaments.Armaments are completely irrelevant to the peaceful relationship between our two countries.So how did peace happen?Is it because we are so much alike.that didn’t keep us from shooting each other in 1814 Peace seems to have been a gradual recognition that it is to our mutual advantage to settle our conflicts peace fully.” Other peace education materials designed by Canadian educators and currently available for study/loan from the centre are: “Ethics in Edu cation Newsletter” kwhich includes resources and curriculum ideas for all grade levels from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, 252 Bloor St.W.Toronto, Ontario.M5S 1V6;

actually saving me work.Is it any wonder that growers are desperate?It seems curious to me that farmers are held responsible for their animals and ensuring that they are properly fenced but that no one accepts responsibility for the harm done by the government protected deer herd.The cost of fences, lost crop and tree damage has certainly cost Quebec apple growers many hundreds of thousands of dollars to date, money they can ill afford.Meanwhile, the Canadian consumer has been led by successive governments to expect cheap food; an admirable objective.Canadian farmers have gone a long way toward meeting this objective by constantly increasing effiency.However, cheap food tends to mean low prices for farm produce and apples are no exception.Over the last 20 years, the Quebec apple grower has been lucky if he had more than one really good year in five.Today, he is trying to lower his costs by planting smaller trees which are particularly susceptible to damage by an increasing deer population.The deer are, in effect, raising production costs and reducing the grower’s income.What is to be done?Mr.Lawrence makes an excellent suggestion: that the interested parties jointly work out a solution.However, to date, only the applegrower has shown interest because he has to bear the cost.Mr.Lawrence further suggests a boycott of Quebec apples.This is a counterproductive idea; it would tend to further impoverish an already weak rural economy and make the apple growers more desperate.Personally, I would like to have the interested parties determine the most effective type of fence to stop the deer, then have the government (perhaps the Department of Recreation, Fish and Game) supply the materials and the apple grower erect the fence.This has been done in some American states and seems like an equitable division of responsibility.(But I shall be surprised if this solution is ever adopted here.) Perhaps Mr.Lawrence would like to contribute to a Fence Fund.ROD RIORDON, Dunham, Que.Thank you Dear Mr.Bury: On behalf of the steno-yypist class, I would like to thank you for the tour of The Record on Wednesday, January 21.We feel that when businesses such as yours afford us the opportunity to see the operations of an office system, our classroom studies are much more meaningful to us.Thank you for taking time out from your busy schedule to demonstrate the various capabilities of the wordprocessing equipment.Sincerely, MARY LOU MacDONALD ^ Lennoxville 1 4 Living The RECORD—Friday.February 6.1987—7 —____ftgl «Bcora Calcium fad not all it’s cracked up to be By Jackie Smith TORONTO (CP i — As millions of women stock up on calcium to ward off the crippling bone disease osteoporosis, there is growing evidence the latest health craze may do little to prevent it and even do harm if overused.Nutritionists, food producers, drug companies and the media have lauded the benefits of calcium — taken in supplements and foods — particularly in preventing osteoporosis, a degenerative condition in which bones lose their mass and become brittle.It strikes a quarter of all postmenopausal women and is related to loss of the female hormone estrogen.It seems to affect the sedentary more than the active; as well as fair, slight, small-boned people.But studies are divided on whether calcium really prevents Local Briefs the disease.For many experts, the jury is still out.Dr.Joan Harrison, co-ordinator of the University of Toronto’s osteoporosis research program, says there hasn't been enough research on the subject to conclude anvthing CALLED CURE Calcium "has been widely publicized as a cure for osteoporosis, which I don’t think anyone in the medical profession” has ever believed.says Harrison.Still, calcium has become a buz-zw'ord.sending women flocking to doctors, dietitians, drug stores and health books to find how much to take, a situation that may benefit drug companies more than women.For example, last year it was reported that TUMS antacids, which advertise a high calcium content, had overtaken sales of other anta- Gift of life For Valentine's Day, people are supposed to give from the heart.Why not give the gift of life?The Red Cross will hold two mobile blood donor clinics next week.The first will be Tuesday, E5!

The picture in the catalog shows birds flocking from a cloudless blue sky to feed at the nine "seed stations" equitably supplied with nourishment by an “Evenflow System." For a day or two it was as idyllic as that outside our window.What a sight, to see the little fellows bobbing up and down on their chrome perches, putting away the groce ries! We kept the "Audubon Field Guide" on the windowsill so we could tell the names and numbers of the players.You have to admire any bird - or human being, for that matter - w ho stays in New England all winter and lives off the crumbs.UPSIDE DOWN SQUIRREL Then one morning we went to the window as usual, and there was a squirrel, hanging upside down, embracing the Super Silo for dear life while he gobbled from two seed ports simultaneously.How did the chap defy the law of gravity to swallow?Our curiosity on the sub ject did not match our district at the thought that our bird feeder had suddenly become a squirrel feeder.As a third party, something in us shrank from interfering in the plot.But all at once we saw- squirrels everywhere - scuttling up and down the driveway, racing along telephone wires, taking over the world.Something in us also yearned to restore the balance - to give a little nudge to the great pinball game of life.And so we hooked the bird feeder to an even more remote branch.The Super Silo thrust into empty air.as lonely as the torch on the Status of Liberty.Justice, we hoped, was being done.We had not driven off the squirrels; we had simply favored the access of the birds.Just to be extra fair, we scattered crumbs on the ground for the squirrels.A HERO A day went by.Two days went by.No squirrels.The birds positively danced on their Super Silo roosts.But on the third day when we looked out the window, a furry shape was scrambling up the tree to a branch just below the feeder.It was a chill gray day the sort to put doubts in the heart of man or beast.The squirrel twitched his lips, shivered his plume of a tail, then leaped.like an acrobat without a net, and landed, feet splayed around the tube.A hero.The other squirrels owed him the equivalent of a ticker-tape parade.What to do?The bird feeder catalog is full of "squirrel-proof" and “anti squirrel" devices.But these seems unsporting, if not mean-spirited.and they promise to make life more difficult forthe birds, too.One last strategy occurred to us.Toward the rear of the house, a basketball hoop is screwded into the clapboards.We tied the Super Silo to a strand of basketball netting.It hangs there like Tarzan, dangling from one final grapevine.So far as we know, no squirrel’s lips have touched the seed.Neither, apparently, has the beak of a single bird.But we can’t be sure because, alas, the feeder is now out of sight.SPECTATORS LOSE OUT So all parties, spectators as well as players, have lost out.What next?We just don't know.But we have gained a new respect for birds and squirrels, and for all the referees of life too, like the trade negotiators trying to design a level playing field between the United States and Japan, or the arms negotiators trying to figure out how many Soviet land missiles are worth how many American submarine missiles, and so on.To create a Utopia is easier said than done, even for birds, as Aristophanes dramatized in his comedy "The Birds.” Not for nothing did he call his state Cloud-Cuckoo Land.But he ended his play, "Take my winds in your shining hands, and I will lift you, lift you above the sky.” And so he continued in his hope, and so should we.Tanner miffed but it’s unfair to assume all Mexicans are dark-skinned Dear Ann Landers: I wish to challenge your answer to “Wanting Justice,” the woman who felt cheated because she lost a suntan contest to a Mexican.If you go to Mexico, you will see many blond, blue-eyed, fair-skinned girls of Mexican descent.You stated that the contest should have been limited to Caucasians.It is my understanding that there are only three races.According to the most recent edition of Webster's Dictionary, they are Caucasoid.Mongoloid and Negroid.The girl who won would be categorized as a Caucasian.Merely because most Mexicans in the movies and on TV are dark-skinned does not mean that they all look that way.Did “Wanting Justice" find out whether the girl who beat her in the contest was naturally dark?Perhaps she had to work very hard to get that tan - harder even than “Wanting Justice”.You yourself belong to an ethnic group.Do you not consider yourself a Caucasian because you are not a blond?I am a faithful reader of your column and I do think it is a good one, but this time you are wrong.Because of the subject matter, I doubt that you will ever print this letter.— A Spanish American Girl or Very Fair in New Mexico Dear V.F.in New Mexico: Well, here’s your letter.We were both wrong.My mistake was far more serious than yours, however, and a great many people wrote letters to clobber me.To be perfectly honest, I can’t understand how 1 let that one slip by.I do know better.Dear Ann Landers: “Canadian Dilemma" wondered how to pay a nephew who was going to perform the marriage service of their daughter.You suggested no check and a gift instead.As a clergyper-son, may I inform you that 1 would much prefer a check.I do not need another Bible.1 cannot use another book from the local Christian bookstore since my reading time is sharply limited.My office cannot handle another pretty picture of the ocean with a Biblical verse printed on it.My desk is loaded with paperweights and pen sets with crosses.I have a drawer full of religious objects that people have sent instead of checks because they didn’t want to be crass.I appreciate the thought behind all the gifts I have received.However, like many other clergy, I am on a limited income and those checks for weddings give me an opportunity to do special things for my family.We can stay at the beach for an extra day.We can buy that lovely cashmere sweater for a birthday.We can go to the county fair and purchase the "all day” pass for the rides.Ann, tell them to send the check and let us choose the gift.— Pastor in Seattle Dear Seattle: You told’em —and plenty other clergymen told ME! So, folks, go ahead and be "crass.” Send money.The clergy can use it.Dear Ann Landers: People unload their pet peeves on you from time to time.What I am writing about isn’t exactly a “peeve”, it's more of a “puzzler." Can you solve it for me?Why is it that when a person misplaces something it always turns Ann Landers up in the last place he looks?Sign me — Spooked in Seattle Dear Spooked: Elementary, my dear Watson.The missing object always turned up in the last place you look because when you find it you quit looking.Dear Ann Landers: I would like to share an experience with your readers that might prevent the loss of many lives.Here it is: Last year I was driving and had to pull out fast onto a busy highway.Naturally.I pushed the gas pedal to the floor.I thought my brakes had failed because I couldn't show down.The car kept going faster and faster.When I realized the gas pedal was stuck 1 nearly became hysterical.Luckily.my husband was with me and shouted, “Put the car in neutral and turn the key off ! ” I followed his instructions and the car slowed down and came to a complete stop.I’m sure my husband’s quick thinking saved our lives.My garage mechanic told me the next day that this could happen to any car at any time, and that the gas pedal has to be unstuck from under the hood.Please print this, Ann.— Lucky Lady in Philadelphia.Dear Phil: Your husband gave you good advice.I appreciate your sharing it with my readers.I love each and every one of them and don’t want to lose any.Gem of the Day : If you keep your mouth shut you’ll get credit for knowing what you don’t say.Dear Ann Landers: I’ve read enough (in fact too much) about how rude New Yorkers are, and now I am writing my first letter to a newspaper.I admit there are some clods in the Big Apple, but we don’t have any more, percentage-wise, than any other large city.For every rude New Yorker there are a hundred who are just plain, ordinary people trying to get to work every day.For every horror story about impoliteness, I can tell you of an incident where, in the face of disaster, someone did something wonderfully generous and kind.I’ve been stuck in blackouts, bliz-zaards, you name it, and have seen st ranges digging out other people’s cars.I’ve seen folks who had been hit by taxis attended to by men in business suifs and women who took off their Gucci scarves to make a tourniquet for a bleeding stranger.Because New York is the ultimate melting pot is has everything.So let’s not label it “Rude City” without acknowledging the fact that an awful lot of people who live here come from somewhere else.Please use my name.I’m proud to be a New Yorker.—Kathleen Roseingrave Dear Kathleen: Many people wrote to defend New York, but you did it best.SALON SANDY will be closed from February 9 to 26 ’87 Thank you for your cooperation.Sandy Fergerson W DES AMOURS A CyQt&; VMfrf VSf&r;’ -'*i**s- •Nflgay' ySÊÜCÿSÊBK DANCE ARMY-NAVY-AIR-FORCE VETERANS UNIT 318 SAT.FEB.7 Music By: THE GOOD OLE BOYS SUNDAY, FEB.8 The Good Ole Boys will be playing From 4:00 p m.lo 8:00 p.m.No Admission Charged Members & Guests Welcome Queen size _ Water beds Starting at Velvet padding $399 177 Queen Street Lennoxville 821-2299 Complete beds starting at $259.00 !_ TARTAN BALL SATURDAY — APRIL 11 — 9 P.M.SALLE 0 GRAND R — ASCOT (10 MIN.FROM SHERBROOKE - HARDWOOD DANCE FLOOR) THE SCOTTISH DANCE ORCHESTRA FROM GLENGARRY ONTARIO BRIGADOON The pipes and drums of the 15 member BUCK WATCH ASSOCIATION PIPE BAND Everyone Welcome — Adm.$8.00 Tickets will go on sale on March 9th Sponsored by the Ceilidh Society of Scotstown This ad courtesy of: THE WOOL SHOP 159 Queen St.Lennoxville — 567-4344 >am momcmac xmk xmomk >aec xmk a Specials from February 4 to 14, 1987 VALENTINE'S SPECIALS Professional Hair Care Kit ¦- 23% Rebate on Cake Pan Je Alexander Catalogues available at the store McFadden Hardware Inc.(Roîiël 155 Queen St.LENNOXVILLE 564-2333 Come and see our many items at liauidotinn nrires *7 A a-The RECORD—Friday, February 6.1987 Farm and Business —____gy-i tsecam Mac’s Woodsmen competition fun for all By Thérèse Robert Extension Service Macdonald College Ever tried to light up a fire with only an axe, a log and three matches, in order to boil soapy wa ter in record time, belly flat in the snow and the dark, huffing and puffing in sub-zero temperature?Well this two-man event was the last of many held at Macdonald College on Saturday, Jan.24, during the 27th Annual Woodsmen Competition.Twenty-five teams of various colleges and universities from parts of Ontario, the Maritimes, Northeastern states and Quebec competed on the centennial centre soccer field.The students and coaches started their eventful day at 6:30 a.m.with breakfast and at 8 a m.the competition was on its way after the opening ceremony.The first event is always the "fell and twitch” since the pole which is felled is used in later events.Sir Sandford Flemming College of Lindsay, Ontario won that one with the Mac C team placing in third.The team’s evaluation is done on speed and on how close they fell the pole to a marker stake.So many depend on THE RED CROSS So much depends on YOU GIVE GENEROUSLY! Individual and team events then took place for the remainder of the morning.Both Mac A and C teams won in the two-men event Quarter Split.Kelley Allen, from Alfred, a third year student in general agriculture and diploma student, Alain Rouleau, from Howick were A team winners.Rita By velds of animal science and Delly Rogers, a Cap Breton wildlife student, were the women’s C team winners.Good reflexes, speed and accuracy are needed to be able to split a log in four lengthwise around a dot marked on one of its end.Allen also won the snowshoe race — an individual event.At the same time, the pulp throw, won by Mac A and C teams, the axe throw, pulp pile, chain throw and chain saw were proceeding on different parts of the field.The latter event found Craig Fawcett, a third year student in agriculture engineering from Lindsay, Ontario and member of Mac A team, a first place winner, as well as Kelly Ma-cLellan from wildlife and Mac C team.A well-deserved lunch got the teams ready for the afternoon.The men’s A team ran away with first place in log roll and Rita Byvelds was winner of the pole climb.This event is very popular with the spectators and although it seems easy to climb up, the difficulty is to learn to climb down, which some members of many teams had not yet mastered! Excitement was also present in cross cut, swede saw and speed chopping, with team A placing in fourth in the last two events.The friendly atmosphere and enthusiastic cheering made the woodsmen competition another success, which has, and will surely continue to attract people year after year.Members of Macdonald College C team in the throw pulp — one of the events held in the frame of the

Canadian National Railways appears ready to get out of the hotel business, lock, stock and room keys.Merging CN Hotels and CP Hotels was discussed last year between CN and Canadian Pacific Ltd.Those negotiations are dead, says Canadian National president Ron Lawless, but an internal review of the hotel group's future — indeed, all of CN’s nonrail holdings — is under way.And “with the capital expenditures that are facing us.it (CN Hotels) would be a likely candidate for divestiture when that decision is made,’’ said Lawless.If so, CN Hotels will probably be on the block by spring.Canadian National got rid of one original business last year w hen it sold its money-losing trucking operation, CN Route, which had swallo-wed the remnants of the railway’s express division in 1982.If the hotels are put up for sale, Canadian Pacific “will have the same chance as anybody else when they (CN Hotels) finally go up for bid," Lawless said in an interview.The hotel division had a small loss last year, less than the $3.9 million it lost in 1985, say CN officials.It hasn’t had a profit since 1981, when it made $900,000.NEEDS FUNDS CN Hotels needs to raise something like $75 million — no mean feat at cash-strapped CN — to further improve some of its best-known properties.There is talk of converting part of Hotel Vancouver to other uses, possibly commercial or office space.Further renovations are planned for the Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Montreal and the Chateau Laurier in Ottawa.Edmonton’s Hotel Macdonald is being completely refurbished.Some of the hotels have prestige locations.Among CN’s wholly owned properties, the Chateau Laurier is a stone’s throw from Parliament and the Queen Elizabeth faces Place Ville Marie in the heart of downtown Montreal.The Jasper Park Lodge is one of the best-known resorts in the Rockies.The CN Tower in Toronto is part of Hotel's assets, but L Hotel, CN’s Toronto hotel, is only managed by the railway.In CN's 1985 annual report, the company gave the hotel group a book value of just over $144 million.Lawless said the Crown corporation hasn’t received any orders to dispose of non-rail holdings.Nor will Canadian National’s huge debt — about $3.4 billion — force any fire sales, he said.CAME AS SHOCK But CN officials were stunned when the Conservative government took profitable CN Marine out of Canadian National's hands in 1985 and made it a separate Crown corporation.CN was not compensated, and memories of that might tempt the company to sell off assets itself to make sure the proceeds remain with CN.That sentiment isn't apparent in Lawless’ comments.He indicated CN has little interest right now in selling its profitable oil-and-gas, real-estate and communications divisions.Revenues from CN Explorations, the company’s

decision as there are few investment vehicles as effective in both providing for a retirement income and reducing taxes right now! You start off on the right foot when you choose a reputable financial institution.But you must also take a careful look at the different investment instruments being offered.For instance, you will find that some institutions charge for opening, closing or administering a plan.Still others employ sales people who work on a commission basis and this commission is deducted from the client's contribution.You have to weigh all these factors in your analysis of the actual return on your investment.Generally speaking, RRSPs are invested in guaranteed deposits and investment funds.A self-directed RRSP can be invested in a wider range of investments (securities, bonds, mortgages) but the planholder must then assume the day-to-day management of the account.A self-directed RRSP is rarely warranted if it's worth less than $100,000.Guaranteed Deposits Terms for guaranteed deposits generally vary from 1 year to 5 years.It's a good idea to spread your contribution over several terms.Some financial institutions even allowyou to designate a specific maturity date.This is especially useful, for instance, if you want to consolidate all your guaranteed deposits or if you are considering terminating your RRSP on a specific date.You can usually choose to have interest compounded, credited annually or at maturity.Investment Funds A great many different types of investment funds are available.Some are highly specialized, while others are invested in various sectors of the economy at the same time.To name just a few of them: the Canadian Equity Fund, the Bond Fund, the Mortgage Fund, the Balanced Fund, the Money Market Fund.Investment funds must be viewed as medium- and long-term investments.Consequently, they are especially appropriate if you are not considering taking your retirement for at least five years.To get the best return on your RRSP, divide your portfolio between guaranteed deposits (several different terms) and investment funds.We will make more detailed suggestions in the near future.Copies of these columns are available at all Sherbrooke Trust branches.Mr.Gilles Vachon Ass t Vice President Sherbrooke Trust SHERBROOKE TRUST A subsidiary of GEIMERAL TRUST Farm and Business Becoitl Sherbrooke’s Bioclass attracts new investors Ruth Lavalee of the Hôpital de province in Magog and Cascades president Bernard Lemaire discuss Bioclass at a Wednesday press conference in Sherbrooke.By Gracie MacDonald SHERBROOKE — A small Sherbrooke biotechnology company announced Wednesday that it will receive a $260.000 investment to continue its production of media for bacterial cultures.Bioclass will receive $100,000 from Cascades and $160,000 from Les fonds de solidarité des travailleurs du Quebec iFTQ).The company’s president, Jac-quelin Breton, says the investment will mean more research money."This means we ll now have the money to be competitive," he said.Breton said there is a $15 to $20 million market for these dishes in Canada, but that most of them are imported from Europe.Bioclass's dishes will be cheaper than its foreign counterparts, at .30 cents to $3 each.President and general manager of the FTQ Claude Blanchet says his group got involved because Bioclass is a “concern of the year 2000, and because it will create employment.” “It’s like a seed that we re planting, and also important that Sherbrooke get an edge on this technology of the future,” he said.Bioclass, which has been in operation since April 1985 and employs 10 people, makes and distributes containers with the right growing conditions for bacteria.The plastic dishes contain combination a agar, a clear jelly, and a protein, such as peptone, for food.The bacteria is grown in the dishes at laboratories and used in research on diseases, or on food impurities.It is also possible to break down wood into pulp using bacteria instead of chemicals.Breton said there is a local market for the dishes in hospitals and research labs.Bioclass was founded by pharmacologist Christian Claeys, who is affiliated with the Centre hospitalier universitaire de Sherbrooke (CHUS).Breton said the company will benefit from the advice of a ’micro-biotech’ council headed by Dr.Jacques Dubois of the Hôtel Dieu Hospital in Sherbrooke.The council will be made up of biotechnology specialists who, according to Breton, w ill make Bioclass more responsive to "market needs” of the biotechnology business.The new company has be getting its bacteria ‘food’ from Biokar Corporation, a major European producer of peptones.Cascades president Bernard Lemaire said he was pleased to be associated with the union trust fund, and that “this investment represents a diversification of our activities into a new sector.one that is a risk, but one w'e’ll take.” Cascades is a Kingsley Falls-based paper company.The FTQ is a $56 million trust fund run by the Federation des Travailleurs de Quebec.They currently have investments in more than 20 Quebec companies.Mining firms looked for culprit By Michael Bernard DENVER (CP) — When the recession struck Canadian mining companies and the floor dropped out of the metals market in 1982, many looked for someone to blame.“There was a feeling that life was unfair,” C.George Miller, managing director of the 75-member Mining Association of Canada, said in an interview “We were looking for a culprit — like the guys overproducing in the Third World.” The theory of comparative advantage —- that developing countries are able to undercut the North American mines because of richer ore bodies, lower wages, cheaper power, and favorable exchange fates — got plenty of attention at an international mining conference last week in Colorado's former Gold Rush city.By the time the three-day conference ended Friday the experts concluded those advantages did hot play such a great role.Phil Crowson, economic advisor to the Rio Tinto Zinc Corp.of London.said some of the factors cited, LONDON (AP) —The British government is threatening to introduce legal controls on corporate takeovers if future abuses are uncovered in the financial industry’s current system of self-regulation.Industry Secretary Paul Channon told the House of Commons on Wednesday that the Conservative government is determined to enforce high standards in London’s financial district.PITTSBURGH (AP) — The Federal Reserve Board has approved the merger of PNC Financial Corp.of Pittsburgh and Citizens Fidelity Corp.of Louisville.Ky.the banks said.Under the terms of the mer- such as the impact of World Bank financing, subsidization and state-run mines, were “red herrings,” insignificant in any discussion of the industry’s slump.ACCEPTS WORLD “We have to accept the world as it is rather than the world as we would like it to be,” Crowson told the 100-delegate conference.He urged the industry to look to its owm affairs and to concentrate on improving technology, increasing productivity and finding new markets for the pow'er to pull out of the doldrums.Gerald Merrithew, Canada's Mi nister of State for Forests and Mines, who addressed the conference, agreed.“If you think you can stand still and still have the same share of the world market five years from now, you're dreaming in Technicolor," said Merrithew.Miller said companies have given up laying blame.They’ve learned a simple truth of the 1980s: “It’s an unkind world out there.” They learned it the hard way.Between 1950 and 1980.North America’s share of the world ger agreement, Citizens Fidelity-will operate as a wholly owned subsidiary of PNC.The stock swap merger was valued at about $700 million US when it w’as announced last June 30.NEW YORK (AP) — American Telephone and Telegraph Co.lost $1.17 billion US in the fourth quarter of 1986 because of the expenses of a massive job-cutting and costcutting plan, but managed a slim profit of $139 million for the year as a whole.AT and T said its phone business continued to do well, but it was hurt by weak sales of its business products.nickel market dropped to 27 per cent from 73 per cent and in copper to 29 from 53 per cent.Competition from the Third World is so self-evident, that it’s “almost irrelevant now.” Miller said.FEELING BETTER Despite the seeming relentlessness of Third World competition, mining companies such as Inco, Falconbridge and Cominco are feeling better about things, said Miller.“The mood has brightened, not because business is better but because we have really pulled costs down,” he said."Life is always going to be like this," said Miller.“Therefore we had better make the best of it and do some things in our long-term interest, such as developing new technology.” Inco, for instance, had 18,000 people on its payroll in Sudbury, Ont.in 1979, Miller said.Only half that number work there now.The critical difference is that the company produced twice as much nickel last year compared to 1979.‘ ‘ It was just tighter management practices, more attention to getting the workforce to the face and spending more time at the face,” he said."Some of the work rules had been pretty lax, pretty generous.” Inco also introduced more efficient mining techniques, such as larger equipment that can haul away much bigger loads of nickel ore from rock faces.It boosted the amount of bulk-mined ore to 80 per cent of the total from 15 per cent in 1980.Cliff Carson, Cominco’s manager of marketing and planning, said companies will have to shift from mining to marketing if they are going to survive.The change has been slow in coming and will demand co-operation among different companies, something unheard of up to now.Business briefs ANNUITIES & RRIF’s All retirement options explained.NO cost or obligation.Also RRSP’s and LIFE INSURANCE.EDDY ECHENBERG IMPULSE

filing of income tax returns for the year just ended.For certain taxpayers, this means the payment of large amounts of tax on Apr 30.1987 For some, these two points are a real headache.For many individuals, the arrival of the new year also means that it is time to think of contributing to an RRSP.Calculations must be made in order to compute the maximum contribution.Following the calculation, you must decide whether to contribute the maximum amount or determine what amount to pay-in order to take maximum advantage of other tax deductions and exemptions.For many, a contribution to retirement savings is basically the only tax planning of which they are aware.Tax planning for one's affairs includes many other things, it should not be done only once a year.Tax planning should be an on-going process of decisions designed to reduce or defer income taxes.In addition, income tax plan ning should be adaptable to every situation and the needs of each individual.It should be implemented by taking into account various criteria such as the age of the individual and the individual's financial situation, present and future financial needs, family situation, future plans, etc.Prudent tax planning early in the year may avoid many unpleasant surprises on Apr.30 of the following year.Adequate tax planning for the new year is even more important because in 1986, we witnessed the implementation of the new alternative minimum tax mechanism.This new tax animal was invented by our governments to increase their tax receipts (with tax equity in mind, according to them) and thus reduce their huge budget deficits.Therefore, it is important to review immediately income earned and losses incurred in 1986.This is the basis from which to decide on the first steps to be taken in your tax planning for 1987.The sources of income and losses that will arise again in 1987 must now be identified.They should be quantified to the extent possible.You should also attempt to forecast new sources of income and losses which should materialize in 1987.From among these sources of income, you should determine those over which you can exercise control, for example, your remuneration if you are the principal shareholder of a company.By starting with all of these elements, you now have the basis for your tax planning.You should consult your tax advisor early in the year.He or she should, without a doubt, be able to help you see the situation more clearly.H BÉLANGER HÉBERT An integral part Of RAYMOND.CHABOT.MARTIN, PARÉ Chartered accountants The no acquisition
