Environment Quebec test results received Thursday afternoon show coliform bacteria levels four to five times higher than acceptable levels.The samples were taken August 4.POLLUTED SHALLOWS Some samples in the shallows of Merry Point contained 800 conforms per 100 ml of water, while at the municipal beach the count went as high as 1000 coliforms per UK) ml in some spots.The city’s water treatment department — which takes tests twice weekly — found the water at Merry Point rated a B (good) and the water at the municipal beach A (excellent) the next day The municipal beach on Brome Lake is also now considered polluted.Brome Lake Mayor Homer Blackwood was surprised by the rating.He blamed the pollution on the sea gulls."We’ve had problems with those sea gulls," he said.“The rafts

trade negotiations reach a critical point and is using the refugee issue to rig the parliamentary schedule, opposition MPs said Thursday.And the opposition vowed to “raise hell” if the Commons isn’t sitting Oct.3, when free-trade negotiations with the United States are scheduled to end.Tom Van Dusen, a spokesman for government House leader Don Mazankowski denied the charge, saying a final decision on the schedule hasn’t been made.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said a week ago he would ask Commons Speaker John Fraser to recall the House to pass tougher legislation to deal with immigrants who enter Canada illegally.Mulroney said 174 East Asians who landed recently on the south shore of Nova Scotia abused Canada’s refugee system.The government had planned to send a letter to Fraser on Thursday asking for the recall, but Van Dusen said the letter will probably be sent today.WANT MORE TIME He said officials wanted more time to study the proposed legislation on illegal immigrants, which would impose stiff penalties for those who help illegal immigrants to enter Canada and would give the government the power to deport those seeking refugee status if they can’t justify their claims.New Democrat MP Lome Nys-trom predicted the government will also ask the Common to deal with some justice legislation and with a bill creating banking centres in Montreal and Vancouver.He also predicted the session will end in mid-September, and that the Commons will have a month-long recess as the free-trade negotiations reach a crucial stage.The Commons would be recalled for a new session during the visit of Queen Elizabeth, who will read the speech from the throne, he added.“They want to get us out of here during the last few weeks of the free trade negotiations,” Nystrom said.“They’re also playing politics with the refugee issue — they’re trying to fan the flames of the backlash against refugees and that’s a very dangerous game to play.” Liberal House leader Herb Gray said the failure to recall Parliament a week after cabinet ministers made such a fuss about refugees “raises the question of just what crisis or emergency there was.” Lawyer to appeal Lortie life sentence External Affairs Minister Joe Clark 1 * -1 Clark ignores rebukes OTTAWA (CP) — External Affairs Minister Joe Clark will go to South Africa as planned next week despite a sharp rebuke from the country’s foreign minister.Paul Frazer, Clark’s spokesman, said Thursday that the itinerary and schedule of meetings for the visit have not changed.And Clark will still meet with R.F.Botha, South Africa’s foreign minister and the man who issued the rebuke.Frazer refused to speculate why South Africa told Clark that he would not be welcome if he intended to ‘ ‘use his visit to buttress pre conceived ideas” and stage what Botha called a “circus.” But Clark said Canada’s opposition to apartheid should have come as little surprise to the South African government.The response to Clark s announced intentions to visit the country as part of a six-day African tour was delivered in a public statement issued Wednesday night.Frazer said the same mes-sage has not been delivered through the more usual diplomatic manner of a note.By Penny MacRae QUEBEC (CP) — Denis Lortie's life sentence for a submachine-gun rampage at the legislature in 1984 will be appealed on the grounds that it amounts to “cruel and unjust punishment," the former soldier’s lawyer said Thursday.Lortie should have the right to seek parole as soon as “he can guarantee society he can return to normal life without too much risk." lawyer Jacques Larochelle told reporters after winning permission to appeal the sentence to the Que bec Court of Appeal.Lortie pleaded guilty last May to reduced charges of second-degree murder in the slayings of three Quebec government employees.He was given a mandatory life sentence with the right to apply for parole after 10 years.Larochelle, who says Lortie was insane at the time of the attack, plans to argue that the Criminal Code section requiring a life sentence for second degree murder contravenes the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.In eases of unpremeditated murder, the automatic penalty constitutes “cruel and unjust punishment’ ’ contrary to the charter, especially when the crime is committed by a mentally ill individual, he said.A judge should be able to take into account a person’s state of mind, Larochelle said.“He should not have to impose a set prison term, but be able to order his detention for long enough to ensure his return to health.” Life’s a beach!

intelligence officers misled Canadian authorities about the background of post-war immigrants who otherwise might have been rejected as “undesirable Nazi collaborators,” a newly released study for the Deschenes inquiry into war criminals says.“.there were instances in which American intelligence officers withheld information from and misled Canadian authorities as to the true background of prospective immigrants to Canada, persons .who would have been inadmissible on grounds of ‘moral turpitude,’ the category for undesirable Nazi collaborators, ’ ’ says the study, made public on Thursday.It adds there was no evidence uncovered “of direct and willing Canadian participation in programs to resettle former Nazis,” but said more research on the question is needed.The study of post-war immigration policy by Ottawa researcher Alti Rodai was released under the Access to Information Act after five government departments spent months examining and removing sections.Portions of the study were censored on grounds that the information had been obtained in confidence.that it touched on international affairs, defence, law enfor- Planes no longer safe, cement and investigations, that it revealed personal information or that it would violate solicitor-client privilege.Mr.Justice Jules Deschenes’ report was delivered to the government in December and released in March It recommended prosecution of 20 suspected war criminals in Canada and investigation of another 200 suspects.Deschenes said the government should release the Rodai study, but it took requests from reporters under the Access to Information Act to get a copies of the 560-page study.The study concludes that “significant numbers” of war criminals were among the 620,000 immigrants who came to Canada between 1946 and 1967 from 12 European countries where participation in war crimes was extensive.The countries named are Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, Estonia, France, West Germany, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Roma nia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia.In the post-war years, government immigration policy was aimed at weeding out Communists and little attention was paid to screening possible war criminals, the study says.Pagé says different colored margarine will generate $16.5 M for dairy farmers By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — A provincial decision to make margarine a different color from butter will generate $16.5 million a year for Quebec dairy farmers, Agriculture Minister Michel Pagé said Thursday Pagé said the new rules, to come into effect by October, will cut into illegal sales of Quebec made margarine in Ontario, the only province where butter-colored margarine is banned.Because margarine costs about one-third the price of butter, the Quebec margarine industry estimates it sells as much as nine million kilograms a year in Ontario.The new Quebec rules mean margarine must be either paler than butter or a deeper yellow.Quebec issued a formal notice in June of the change and gave groups or individuals 45 days to present briefs.The expiry day is today and Pagé said he hasn’t yet received a single brief.But the Quebec Consumers’ Association and the association of margarine makers, which both oppose the change, said they are ready to make public their stands on the issue.Jean-Pierre Beauchamp, vice-president of the consumers group, said in an interview Thursday the government should not interfere with shoppers’ choices."Consumers choose margarine because it corresponds to their needs,” said Beauchamp.“They have made the distinction between butter and margarine for a long time.” say workers Quebecair flight attendants walk off the job MONTREAL (CP) — Quebe-cair’s 54 flight attendants walked off the job Thursday claiming the airline's planes are no longer safe because of a four-week strike by its 250 ground workers.“The maintenance of the planes is done by an insufficient number of people, whose competence is in doubt,” said union spokesman Nicole Fugere in a statement after the flight attendants walked out The flight attendants have been in a legal strike position since July 23.The union claims two incidents last week endangered passenger safety.In one case, a plane took off even though a flight attendant complained that an emergency-exit was defective In a second incident, a plane, whose nose dipped dangerously while landing, had to circle while baggage and passengers were rearranged in the plane to change the weight distribution, the union says Quebecair spokesman Guy Sar-razin called the flight attendants’ allegations “totally irresponsible.” "It's a futile and irresponsible pretext to justify going on strike instead of negotiating,” Sarrazin said in an interview.He said the cases cited by the flight attendants did occur but “never was the safety of passengers ever in danger." Sarrazin said all the airline’s flights are operating normally with newly-hired flight attendants who received a three-week training course.» 2—The RECORD—Friday, August 7, 1987 NDP support not a surprise - Tremblay By Robert Russo JONQUIERE, Que.(CP) — Laurier Tremblay, a college teacher who has supported the Parti Québécois in every provincial election since 1973, isn’t surprised many Quebec nationalists are turning to the New Democratic Party.“Social democracy is nothing new in this province,” said Tremblay, referring to some of the PQ’s left-of-centre policies.“And the other federal parties have just failed to address the needs of the people in Quebec.” With the independence issue off the political agenda until at least the 1990s, Tremblay and many others who soldiered for the PQ believe that doing mercenary work for NDP is the best way to strengthen Quebec’s voice within Confederation.The NDP, fresh from three federal byelection victories and perched atop the latest polls in Quebec, has little more than a skeletal machine in the province.But the arrival of experienced organizers could help turn the party’s upsurge in the polls into a Quebec breakthrough in the next federal election.HOPES HIGH Nowhere do hopes appear to be higher than here in the Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean region, dominated by the cities of Chicoutimi, Jon-quiere, Roberval and Alma, 250 kilometres north of Quebec City.The 200,000 people in the working class region are known for their fierce nationalism and independent thinking.The Saguenay was the region where support was the strongest for sovereignty-association in the 1980 referendum.In the 1984 campaign, PQ supporters worked with Conservatives to smash the Liberal fortress in Quebec and run away with 58 of the province’s 75 federal seats.But many Pequistes now say the experiment was a failure, that an ideological affinity with the NDP and an old aversion to the Liberals makes a union with the New Democrats more than a marriage of convenience.“People are fed up with the Conservatives’ ineptitude and the Liberals always took Quebec for granted,” says Tremblay.“The NDP seems to care about the issues hurting us here, such as high unemployment and maintaining access to social programs.” HONES FRENCH Tremblay also noted that NDP Leader Ed Broadbent has spent some of his summer vacations in Jonquiere honing his labored French.“People around here appreciate that.His French isn’t perfect but he’s trying.” Another NDP convert from the PQ says the Tories have suffered because nearly all their Quebec MPs are little-known newcomers.Except for Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, few have made a mark in a province where a generation of voters were weaned on charismatic leaders like Pierre Trudeau and Rene Levesque.“Out of the five MPs the Saguenay sent to Ottawa, four are Conservatives and only one of them — Immigration Minister Benoit Bouchard — has made a strong impression,” said bartender Gerald Scullion.“The rest of them are political nobodies.” Scullion, a town councillor in Alma, said he has been approached to run for the NDP at the federal level, but will instead seek re-election to the Alma council this fall.HAVE CANDIDATES However, the NDP’s Quebec wing has begun recruiting former PQ officials as candidates for the federal vote due within two years.Former PQ treasurer Philippe Bernard has said he will run.Sylvain Simard, who once headed the PQ executive, and labor leader Michel Bourdon may seek NDP nominations.Yvon Fortin, a local NDP organizer, is considering running in Jonquiere, where he led a spring campaign in which nearly 300 people joined the party in just two months.Until recently, this was an unheard of figure for an NDP riding association in Quebec.While conceding that many of those who signed up in Jonquiere voted for the PQ in the past, Fortin denied the New Democrats systematically recruit former PQ workers.“We’re not looking for help from anyone,” said Fortin.“In 1984, it was a Tory strategy to go after key PQ people and recruit them.We don’t have any such strategy.” He said many of those who swelled NDP ranks to nearly 400 this spring had left the PQ after the 1980 referendum, “when they decided the PQ wasn’t a truly democratic or socialist party.” With barely 5,000 members in Quebec, the NDP needs all the help it can get at the riding level, especially from experienced organizers.Maritime provinces interested in offer Welfare being cut off, a result of postal strike MONTREAL (CP ) — The Quebec government’s decision to cut off 6,563 people who did not pick up welfare cheques during the postal strike is part of a campaign to smear welfare recipients, a community activist said Thursday.“These people have been found guilty by the government before anything was proved,” said Linton Garner, a spokesman for the Project Genesis community aid group.“The government is continuing its campaign to discredit welfare recipients.” Garner, who is also a member of the Coalition for the Rights of Welfare Recipients, charged the provincial government was simply trying to reduce its expenditures.He said in an interview the coalition plans a letter-writing campaign and will complain to Premier Robert Bourassa and Manpower Minister Pierre Paradis.Eric Shragge, a McGill Universi- #¦____fag-1 ifccora Q*org« MacUran, Publisher.M9-9511 Charles

are interested in an offer Hydro-Quebec was obliged to make them for firm electricity at terms similar to those promised utilities in New England.However, New Brunswick and Newfoundland can’t agree with Hydro-Quebec on how to adapt the pricing formula of the New England deal to their needs.Wrangling over the issue could further delay approval of Quebec’s $3-billion export deal with the New England Power Pool, first announced in October 1985.Hydro-Quebec spokesman Jean-Guy Ouimet said in a interview Thursday that the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro have indicated they are interested in the offer, while Ontario Hydro has rejected it.The proposed contract with the New England Power Pool calls for the export of 70 billion kilowatt hours of firm energy over a 10- to 14-year period beginning in 1990.The pricing formula is complex, but essentially fixes the price at 80 per cent of what it would cost to generate the same amount of electricity from fossil fuels.In May, the National Energy Board refused to grant a license for the proposed export to New England Power Pool, which represents some 90 utilities in the states of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont.The federal regulatory agency said Hydro-Quebec had failed to demonstrate the energy was surplus to forseeable Canadian needs.To overcome the board’s objections, Hydro-Quebec had to offer the electricity to utilities in adjacent provinces at the same terms and conditions negotiated with the New England Power Pool.The refusal of such an offer is traditionally taken as proof that the power is surplus to Canadian needs, and it is not clear how the full or partial acceptance of the offer by Canadian utiltities will affect the New England deal.Ouimet declined to say whether the adjacent utilities would be allowed to accept a smaller part of energy while using the same pricing formula.Linwood Titus, vice-president of the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission, said New Brunswick is interested in replacing interruptible energy which it now buys from Quebec with firm energy.New Brunswick bought $120 million worth of interruptible energy last year Tistus said that without the power from Quebec, the province would have to rely on expensive oil and coal-fired generation plants If New Brunswick and Newfoundland want large quantities of energy, Hydro-Quebec might not have enough capacity to supply the energy it has promised to New En gland by 1990.Canada West Foundation calls Meech Lake accord a disease OTTAWA (CP) — The Canada West Foundation condemned part of the Meech Lake constitutional accord today as “the political equivalent of the AIDS virus” and “a constitutional disaster without parallel.” It warned that allowing the premiers a role in appointing senators “will seriously limit the capacities of Canada’s national government while paralyzing any attempt to repair or contain the damage.” Appearing before the Commons-Senate committee studying the agreement, the Calga- ry-based think tank lauded the accord’s recognition of Quebec as a distinct society and the attempt to settle Quebec’s five-year-old constitutional grievances.But the cost is too high because the accord actually creates more problems than it solves, it said.“Quebec’s alienation from the 1982 Constitution gave the Canadian body politic an annoying head cold, but the resolution’s Senate proposals are the political equivalent of the AIDS virus: an ailment whose symptoms are initially innocuous but build progressively to a debilitating, incu- rable and inevitably fatal condition.” It said substantial Senate reform must be linked to the accord “and not left to some nebulous future.” It also rejected as a farce the plan to allow the provinces a role in appointing Supreme Court judges.“Will Supreme Court judges become part of patronage packages, or can we expect to get judges who are lowest common denominators or inoffensive compromises?” Hippie rag 20 years ago, now gets its own day ty professor of social work, said, “The fundamental unfairness of the government's decision is that they have a whole series of procedures to determine welfare eligibility.“The government should apply those procedures now, instead of arbitrarily cutting off people from a cheque they may depend on to live.” Paradis announced Wednesday that the people dropped from welfare rolls must reapply if they want to be reinstated.LEAVE CHEQUES The 6,563 people, representing two per cent of the welfare recipients in Quebec, did not pick up cheques ranging from $170 to $848 and worth a total of more than $2.2 million.The July cheques were available at centres whose location was given in newspaper, radio and TV ads.By Ron Sudlow VANCOUVER (CP) — It’s been years since Dan McLeod was charged with violating obscenity laws, and he says he hasn’t smoked a joint for a decade.McLeod, editor and publisher of the Georgia Straight, is even enjoying a love-in with city hall.Mayor Gordon Campbell proclaimed Georgia Straight Day to mark the 20th anniversary of the weekly newspaper, once denounced as a hippie rag.“It would have felt better if it was the original Mayor Campbell proclaiming it,” McLeod said, recalling the paper’s battles with Tom (Terrific) Campbell, who made closing the Straight a personal crusade.The paper once had a press run of 60,000 and was hawked by 700 street vendors, many of whom were considered by hard-hats, housewives and businessmen to be drug-crazed potheads.It was 1967.The Arabs and the Israelis fought the Six-Day War, Mickey Mantle hit his 500th homer, the Toronto Maple Leafs won the Stanley Cup, Bonnie and Clyde was a hit movie and Martin Luther King led anti-Vietnam War marches.BORN ON TABLE The Georgia Straight, with its psychedelic nude drawings, its uneven headlines and its text set by typewriter, was born on the kitchen table of McLeod’s $30-a-month apartment.Readers were told how to grow marijuana, learned about “zippy psychedelics” and found out how to defend themselves against police ordered to enforce vagrancy laws.The paper’s racy personal classifieds became the talk of the town.“We were trying to open up the boundaries (of journalism) and took kind of a free tack,” said McLeod in his cluttered, cheaply panelled office above a classical record store.“We would publish just about anything we felt fell outside the normal boundaries.” GOT TROUBLE The paper’s writers tried to create a forum for discussion.Stories were printed without editorial interference and that led to trouble.McLeod says the Straight was misunderstood.“(People) thought the views that were expressed were really hardcore, deep-felt things that were felt by the entire staff.They didn’t realize that it was the idea of being able to say those things more than the content of what was said.” But showing the cartoon character Acid Man without pants led to obscenity charges — 15 in 1969 alone.The gardening column on marijuana cultivation resulted in the Straight being busted for counselling to commit an indictable of- fence.McLeod has lost track of the charges and fines, but one that stands out is a libel conviction resulting in fines totalling $2,000 after the Straight awarded a judge the Pontius Pilate Certificate of Justice.The paper was criticizing a student activist’s loitering conviction.WHAT LICENCE?The city tried to close the paper by suspending its business licence, but the Straight hadn’t bothered to get one.“They sent the guy down, we gave him the money and put the licence on the wall,” McLeod recalls.“The next day they came down and said they were suspending the licence for gross misconduct (a charge frequently used against strip joints, massage parlors and grocers who sold bay rum on skid row).” While police swooped down on vendors and confiscated papers, the Straight won an injunction against the suspension.The business licence wasn’t returned for six weeks but McLeod published anyway, a one-page edition listing the mayor’s property holdings.McLeod’s victory was marred when he decided to personally serve the court injunction on the mayor.“We went up to his new house and knocked on the door.A mem- ber of the family answered and then this little dog ran out and bit me.” Things are different today.A NEW SCENE Instead of seeking money for its legal defence fund, the Straight organizes Rick Hansen benefits.Lead articles are no longer headlined Let Saigons be Bygones, but profile fashion designers and actors.Bob Geldof, the paper’s rock critic in 1974, has gone on to Nobel Peace Prize nominations for his Live Aid efforts.Marijuana tips have been replaced by a restaurant columnist’s critique of a bistro serving garlic eel.Dr.Hip Po-crates no longer writes a sex advice column and there are no pictures of undercover drug cops.The paper dipped to a circulation of 10,000 in the early ’80s.It began at 10 cents a copy, later went to 25 cents and now is an ad-filled freebie.About 55,000 copies are available in recreation centres, libraries and convenience stores.McLeod says he’s comfortable with the Straight’s current role.“I don’t see it as the end of the line for us.I see it more as what the paper will become.” He’s no longer a young math scholar with an interest in poetry, but a 43-year-old father of two.He denies he has fallen into the yuppie category: “I drive a van which doesn’t anywhere resemble a BMW.” DRIE takes a closer look, but it is probably too late By Eric Beauchesne OTTAWA (CP) — The Department of Regional Industrial Expansion is taking a much closer look at regional development applications than in the past, a spokesman for Industry Minister Michel Côté admitted Thursday.But Michel Guitard, Côté’s press aide, said a report that there is a freeze on new spending by the financially troubled and soon-to-be disbanded department for regional development projects is inaccurate.Statements attributed this week to the federal government’s regional development chief in Manitoba are not accurate, Gui- tard said in an interview.Ranier Anderson, acting director of the department’s industry and trade section in Manitoba, was quoted as saying that approval for any new spending in the province will have to wait until two internal investigations into department spending are completed.He said the applications will also have to wait until approval by Ottawa is given to take on new commitments.“Until we know where we are financially, we’re not entering into any new commitments,” Anderson is quoted as saying.SAYS NOT TRUE “That’s not true,” Guitard said, although he was unable to explain how new projects in the province would get financing from Ottawa if the federal official in charge was under the impression that a spending freeze is on.New regional development applications are being approved, Guitard said.However, he.was unable to say how many had been approved since the department realized in June, two months into the current fiscal year, that it had already blown its $900-million regional development project budget for the year.Initially, the department had placed what one official described as a temporary freeze on new commitments.But that freeze was to have been lifted almost two months ago.There is no freeze on, said Guitard.The department is just being “more careful” in scrutinizing project applications to ensure it doesn’t overshoot its budget again.And that closer scrutiny will continue at least until two internal investigations into department overspending are completed later this month, he said.BUSINESS AS USUAL’ Guitard said that despite the closer scrutiny of project applications it’s still “business as usual” at the department as claimed by Côté almost two months ago.Weather Doonesbury BY GARRY TRUDEAU NEAT SESSION TODAY, WASNTtZB.D* YEAH, THE HUNK UlAS NOT!

But Bouchard says things are getting back to normal and Stans-tead Registrar Claire Cournoyer agrees In June of 1986, Cournoyer said she handled 775 contracts but in June of this year, she handled 1005.She says it's because construction m the Magog area has tripled in first four months of 1987."If 1 arrive early in the morning and work until late at night 1 can keep up I need more help." said Cournoyer.who works at the Stanstead Registry Office w ith one assistant "1 asked and asked the ministry of justice for summer students to help but 1 didn't get any.No one did except Sherbrooke who got two." Cournoyer says she handles 40 to 50 sale and mortgage contracts each day “June this year?It was incredible.Construction was in demand and interest rates were low, " she said.Most of the sales were to chalets, condominiums and apartment blocks The biggest boom came in time-sharing condominiums, she said.LEVELLING OFF Guy Dery, the Bedford registrar, said the June boom is levelling off for him."In June there was a boom everywhere.I don't know why.It could be because of the low interest rates; people are more interested and they can get mortgages more easily," he said But now, it's levelling off," Dery said.Morel says she hopes the market w ill settle down.Otherw ise “they’ll be lots of construction and lots of empty places".She said the population m the Coaticook area is drop ping off and if the present rate continues, who w ill live in the new homes?Boucher said it's a buyer bew are type of market While there may be many sales out there, he said pepple in the market to buy a new home should take care they aren't paying more than the house is worth.Lake people busy as development increases pollution threat MCFs 20th anniversary meeting set: Lincoln and Hopps on stage in Magog By Charles Bury MAGOG — Although the chief guest and main speaker at Mem-phremagog Conservation Inc.’s Continued from page I ceived a polluted (D) rating in this round of tests.The St.Pierre Beach in Venise-en-Quebec and the Davignon Lake in Cowansville will be closed until tests prove the water has improved.Another beach on Missisqoui Bay has been closed most of the summer.Environment Quebec representative Paul Jeanotte said this is the result of “normal summer deterioration." He said new tests will be taken Friday on all polluted beaches and hopefully the causes will be found.In the meantime, Flower show A story in Thursday’s Record erroneously reported that the entrance fee for the Emmanual United Church’s 12th annual flower show was $3.The price is actually $3.50 for adults and $1 for children under 12.So dig just a little deeper and come on along to the show.It starts at 2 p.m.at the church on Main St.in Cowansville.The Record regrets any inconvenience the error may have caused.20th annual meeting Saturday will be Environment Minister Clifford Lincoln, a lot of attention will be focused on veteran director Ste- Jeannotte said all concerned muni cipalities will be asked to put up signs saying the beaches are closed.George Blouin — manager of the water filtration plant and the person who takes the samples on the Magog beaches — said the big difference in results is not surprising.He said many factors, such as wind, currents, temperature can make a big change over one day.He said the samples he takes are done under strict Environment Quebec guidelines but are tested at a laboratory in Magog instead of Montreal.He warned that “our tests are meant as a back-up, not to replace Environment Quebec’s.” Although Blouin says he isn’t saying they shouldn’t close the beaches when they're polluted, he finds the up and down results “are getting a bit ridiculous.” He said he didn't know of any other method of water testing that would give more consistent results.On a brighter note, there are still some safe places to swim Fraser Lake rated excellent, and the Blan chard and Jacques Cartier beaches in Sherbrooke rated a C and B respectively wart Hopps A quiet-spoken man of the earth who has spent almost all his life on or near Lake Memphremagog, Hopps shies from the limelight.But he won’t be able to hide on Saturday.MCFs 20th anniversary project, a brief history of the association, is dedicated to him.The dedication is written by Gordon Kohl, another of MCFs founders and a long-time president of the group.“From his earliest years.(Hopps) instinctively knew of the essential interdependence of the myriad forms of life, all occupying their allotted niches in the waters, the soil and the air,” Kohl wrote.AN INTIMATE PART “Talking with him, you quickly discover that this man is himself also an intimate part of the amazing wrhole that makes up our environment,” the dedication to Hopps continues.“For those of us who have been privileged to work with him." Kohl adds, “the experience lias been w'orth a lifetime.” A director of the asoeiation for 17 years, Hopps and his colleagues have seen the quality of their beloved lake swing like a pendulum.Memphremagog was heavily polluted, turning green fast and partly covered in scum when the group was founded in 1967.By the early 1980s it had been converted, mainly through the efforts of MCI, to a sparkling state which was the envy of other lake protection groups.Now, with still new sewage treatment plants unable to cope with heavy development along the shoreline and elsewhere in the Memphremagog watershed, the lake is going downhill again, Hopps says.Its beaches are safe some weeks and unsafe others HASN'T BEEN ENOUGH' And worse news may be on the way, he adds.“Plenty of studies have been done to determine the economic impact of touristic development along the lake, but there hasn’t been enough study of the possible effects on the lake’s ecology." While scientific studies on Mem phremagog may be slow in getting done, Hopps himself is in a hurry every day.This week the tall, bespectacled conservationist was trying to solve several problems, ranging from correcting the abusive —- and ille gal — drainage of wetlands, to complaining about water so dirty swimming has been banned again in Magog (see page 1), and asking Stanstead Township council in pu blic exactly what it intends to do about the apparently improper management of a Fitch Bay manna.Lake lovers who don’t know Hopps will have a chance to meet him Saturday at 11 a m.at the Ma gog town hall.He’ll be the rangy redhead trying not to look important Stewart Hopps in action: Asking Stanstead Township council what it’s going to do about bitch Hay.Conflicting tests blamed He has unfinished business but the town’s in ‘pretty darned good shape' Mayor Blackwood will seek another term By Charles Bury KNOWLTON — The only mayor Brome Lake’s ever had says he will run for re-election in November.At a time of life when many men have already retired, Homer Blackwood wants to seek another term of office and keep on working for his town.“1 was thinking of not running this time, but there are still a few things I want to take care of before I get done,” Blackwood said in a interview.November 1 is election day in Brome Lake.Normally there isn’t much of a contest, but this time the town watchdog group has decided to go political.The Municipal Association of Brome Lake is seeking candidates and volunteers to make sure the voters have to vote.But Blackwood's record is the envy of many municipal politicians, and his potential opponents are thinking twice — or not at all.THREE COUNCILS The Town of Brome Lake was created in 1972 when the people of Knowlton.Foster and Brome Township decided one larger mu nicipal government would be better than three small ones.Only an 18-month veteran of the Knowdton village council, Blackwood became Brome Lake’s first mayor.In those days, it was easy.“We were all acclaimed, six councillors, one from each village, and myself as mayor,” he recalled.“I nominated this one, he nominated that one, and so on,” he said.“Not one person even came to see who was running.” Since then, getting re-elected hasn’t been much harder.“I think I was contested twice, and went in two more times by acclamation,” he said.Last time around he had two opponents.Together, they came up more than 200 votes short of Blackwood's total.In ’87, he will be running on his record.A rapid growth rate has kept taxes down.Brome Lake doesn’t owe much money, the roads are in relatively good shape and almost everybody's got a job OPPONENTS Blackwood doesn’t like to talk about his opponents in the race, especially when none has yet made himself public.But an unsigned Municipal Association flyer, inserted in this month’s edition of Tempo, a local newsletter, makes it clear he has some.One of the association’s election policies is to “control taxes”.But Brome Lake ratepayers seem to be among the lucky few whose municipal taxes haven't risen out of sight in recent years.Blackwood cites an example from the town’s real-estate tax rolls, including a portion of the tax which is turned over to the school board.In 1978, he said, the owner of a house evaluated at $23,490 paid $800 in taxes.In 1986, the same house was evaluated at $67,340, and the real-estate tax was $854.“Over nine years, that’s an increase of $6 a year.” he said — an annual average of three-quarters of one per cent Another Municipal Association Charest named to Treasury Board By Laurel Sherrer SHERBROOKE — Sherbrooke’s youthful member of parliament, Jean Charest, has added yet another task to his list of governmental responsibilities.At the end of June.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney appointed Charest— already Minister of State for Youth — to the influential cabinet committee on the Treasury Board.This is the committee that approves all government spending, Charest explained, and decides whether departments can have special allowances for specific pro jects.The appointment is good news for Charest, who says it’s a mark of confidence in his abilities.“It is a powerful committee in Ot- tawa,” he said, and this means more power for Charest Often cabinet colleagues will lobby those on the Treasury Board committee when they want sympathy for certain projects or goals, he said.This responsibility is added to Charest’s duties as youth minister, and his work on the cabinet committee supervising the free trade negotiations — a committee to which he was named in January.He has not been active on that committee until recently, he says, because he’s been too busy travelling all over Canada developing a national youth policy.The free trade committee has the task of giving free trade negotiator Simon Reisman his mandate and advising him on what kind of a deal to accept from the U S This issue should provide for some exciting moments in the next two months, says Charest "We re going to see a lot of posturing; a lot of intense negotiations,” he said.The new responsibilities will mean more work for Charest, but he says he can handle it, and that he won’t neglect his constituents while tending to his various committees.“Physically it takes its toll, but I’m a young cabinet minister anyways.” he said.His work on a national youth policy took him across Canada almost three times, he said, and yet he still managed to be in his Sherbrooke office once a week.And besides, “we do have staff and telephones and that’s what they’re made for.” promise is to “ensure good administration of the town” Blackwood has another readv answer HEALTH FROM GROWTH He says Brome Lake’s administration is in good health and that comes from steady growth.“Our debt service has been reduced and is going down all the time,” he said.“It’s now down to $4.2 million, with a total municipal evaluation of $150 million.” “We’re in pretty darned good shape,” he said.“The only thing we have borrowed for was to put in sewers and water and restore the lake.” “Almost all our work is paid for out of current revenues.We pay cash.That way there’s no interest.” “We can do this because of the healthy growth of the town,” he said “The larger tax base means we can afford to make more improvements.” Blackwood said he wants to stay in office because he has unfinished business to take care of.“My first priority is to finish off the sewer and water system around the lake," he said.“That is pretty well un stoppable now but 1 want to keep it going.” FIXING ROADS Other plans are “some roads that need rebuilding." he said.First among them is the Knowlton-Cowansville highway.Route 104 “The schoolbuses all use it, and it’s in terrible shape, he said, adding that a rebuild by the provincial government “is in the preliminary stages.” Another highway project Blackwood holds dear is a new main access to the town from the direction of Montreal “We want Brome Road as the regional arte ry,” he said, sketching it out on a map."We want to take the traffic away from the side of the lake.There’s no room to widen Lakeside.and Brome Road is there, with lots of room.” Improvements to Brome Lake's waterworks are next on Teamwork and growth are the keys to successful town management, says Brome Lake Mayor Homer Blackwood.Blackwood s list.There are some pretty antiquated parts in the water system in some neighborhoods of Knowlton," he said.“We want to improve it to keep the pressure up.Some of those four inch pipes are so crusted up they only have a two-inch hole,” HOUSING As well.Blackwood wants to be at the ribbon cutting ceremony for a new old-folks' home which is “on the way.on Crandall Street.It will be 10 units.” And we are working on a ten-unit low cost housing apartment, subsidized by Quebec ” I^ong before Blackwood got into town politics, he was a member of the Knowlton school board, later part of the District of Bedford Protestant Regional School Board.He was chairman of the board finance committee from 1967 to 78.including the difficult years Massey-Vanier High School was being planned and built What makes Homer run?It’s in the blood.“I guess it’s a family tra dition to be involved in public life,” he said, and to make a contribution to the community.” “My father was on council for many years,” he said, “and my grandfather was mayor of Brome Township and warden of Brome County Council for 1923 to 1932.” Blackwood has a warning for anyone thinking of running for council or mayor: you have to be a team player “It’s of utmost impor-tance that they can work together,” he said."Council has to operate as a team Division is the worst thing.” “I think I can work with council pretty well, no matter who’s on it,” he said.“As long as they are reasonable people." You sit down at the table, discuss something, then vote for it or against it.After that, it’s the law.” "But life goes on afterwards," he added “You have to live together.” 4—The RECORD—Friday, August 7, 1987 —________frgl Kocora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Plan tantamount to producing clear Diet Coke Remember how the ad went?Two plastic tubs are sitting on the table.“Butter,” says one.“Margarine,” pipes the other one.“Butter,” the first insists.And so on.The ad may have been corny but the debate rages in real life, right now.At stake, it seems, are more than just a few laughs.Agriculture Minister Michel Pagé has finally bowed down to pressure from Quebec milk producers and will force margarine producers to identify their product by making it a different color than butter.In other words, margarine will have to look like either lard or come in a color not found in nature.For people who already buy whipped near-neon hued margarine in a tub, this news won’t make great changes to their toast habits.But for people who buy brick margarine disguised as the real thing, the news will certainly be an outrage.For health or financial reasons, some people just have to spread the pseudo dairy product on their morning bread.Imagine their consternation the day they find they must consume fatty stuff that must surely be brighter than egg yolks.Beakfast, you can be sure, will never be the same.The plan is tantamount to producing clear Diet Coke.The association that represents margarine producers has made protesting noises.But Pagé’s mind is made up and they have failed all those margarine eaters who wish they didn’t have to.On the bright side, if many consumers do switch over to butter as Pagé thinks they will, then the Quebec dairy farmer wdll get some much needed business.Pagé’s claim the new rule will create 500 jobs and the equivalent of 300 new farms may be based on fiction, but the farm industry will certainly profit.That is, if all the extra sales revenue doesn’t go to Pro-vigo.On the other hand, those die-hard synthetic fans out there — the ones who’d eat margarine if it was blue — will never switch.This leads to the contusion that Pagé’s grandiose scheme will do little more than make eating unpleasant for a few.GRACIE MACDONALD Poor weather has slowed Titanic expedition’s progress (CP) — The commander of a French expedition preparing to excavate the site where the luxury liner Titanic sank 75 years ago said Wednesday that seeing the wreck for the first time is an experience beyond description.“It’s terrific,” said Yann Keranflech, his voice shaking with emotion.“It’s terrifying.“It is unbelievable to see.It is quite impossible to describe.” The controversial expedition has not brought up any artifacts since recovering some cutlery and dishes nearly two weeks ago.Keranflech, speaking from the command ship Nadir, said poor weather and high seas have slowed progress.The ship’s three-man submersible, Nautile, has been photographing and mapping the huge wreck site 367 nautical miles southeast of St.John’s, Nfld.Keranflech said they hope today to begin using a robot to peer inside the hulking remains of what was once the world’s biggest and most luxurious liner.Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York, breaking in two and plunging four kilometres down.IRRESISTIBLE The rusted ship which now lies half-buried in silt became a tomb for many of the 1,500 who died that April night in 1912 But the silver trays, unopened wine bottles and scores of personal belongings she spread across the ocean bottom have become an irresistible time capsule for treasure hunters.Explorers hope to find a safe laden with gold and jewels, but Titanic experts believe it was emptied before the vessel went down.The first video and still pictures from the French expedition will likely be released next week, said Sarah Lush, a spokesman for the California-based Lippin Group The expedition is being conducted by the French Institute for Research and Exploitation of the Sea, which took part in a joint U S.-French expedition that discovered the wreck in September 1985.The $3 million to finance the recovery comes from the British-registered organization Ocean Research Exploration Ltd., led by Swiss millionaire Carlos Piaget.The group also includes a California film company, Westgate Film Group, which is co-producing a television special on the 54-day expedition SURVIVORS OBJECT Though none of the objects will be sold, some survivors of the disaster have spoken out against recovering objects from the site.Only a handful of the 700 who escaped in lifeboats remain.The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts, which returned last year to map and photograph the site, left a plaque requesting would be salvors to leave the wreck alone The U.S.Congress subsequently passed a law declaring Titanic an international undersea memorial and prohibiting U.S.residents from participating in any salvage operations.On Monday, the Senate banned commercial imports of artifacts from the wreck.Britain’s National Maritime Museum said it won t display the artifacts Canada says it has jurisdiction over the wreck, but it has no power to enforce the claim Refugee: I wouldn’t face journey to Canada again By Linda Drouin MONTREAL (CP) — Sedan Tham-bipillai still recalls with horror the 13-day nightmare journey in the hold of a West German freighter that brought him to Canada a year ago.So vivid is the memory that the 22-year-old says he would not do it again, knowing in advance the hardships he would have to face.When he was pulled from a drifting lifeboat, he was bleeding from the mouth and nose, and spent two weeks recuperating in a Newfoundland hospital.Thambipillai was one of 155 Tamils found off the coast of Newfoundland in lifeboats last Aug.11.Ninety-three of them came to Montreal, but many have since moved to Toronto to join friends “for better opportunities,” says Sam Sodiraj, who teaches English classes at a small downtown Tamil community centre.“’I have very bad memories of the trip,” said Thambipillai recently.“There were no toilets, no water-,drink or food for the three days and two nights we were in the lifeboats,” said the shy man speaking hesitantly with occasional translation help from Sodiraj.“Even on the big boat, there were no toilets.” FOUND JOB Within a week of his arrival in Montreal, however, Thambipillai found a factory job where he “gets by” with rudimentary English.Several times a week, he attends night classes at the community centre to improve his English.He’d also like to learn French, but so far he hasn’t found the time.He says he’s “happy and satisfied” with his life in Canada but misses his parents and a brother still in Sri Lanka.He lives with an uncle who also has a factory job.But Thambipillai dreams of saving enough money so that he can go back to school if he is officially admitted to Canada as a refugee.Nobody seems to know how many of the boatload of Tamils who came to Montreal have settled here.They prefer to keep a low profile says Sadeqa Siddiqui, co-ordinator of the South Asia Community Centre.“It’s very difficult to get numbers,” she said.“They’re working very hard and if they call here, they don’t usually mention that they’re from that group of arrivals.” Some of Montreal’s 3,000-member Tamil community who have kept in touch with some of the newcomers agree that those who are here didn’t take long to find jobs.NOT WORKING Rev.Francis Xavier, a Tamil who arrived in Canada in 1984, says he knows of only one of the Montreal boat Tamils who is not working, because of a health problem.“They will do any kind of work.They don’t feel any discrimination or anybody looking down on them,” he said.Their own memories of the harrowing experience may still be fresh in their minds, but Xavier says the Tamils generally don’t feel much sympathy for the latest group of refugee claimants to arrive on Canada’s shores.A group of 174 East Indians, many of them believed to Sikhs, waded ashore in Nova Scotia three weeks ago in a scenario that was an eerie replay of the Tamil’s controversial arrival.“The feelings are running very negative that these people might spoil their (the Tamils) case,” said Xvier.“They feel those people are saying, Canada gave in to the Tamils, they should give into us.” “They also worry that because Canadian feelings are riding high, (against refugees) it might affect the Tamils and future Tamils who are in much more dire and difficult situation than the Sikhs,” said Xavier.Thambipillai said he could sympathize with the new Sikh arrivals “but I don’t think they suffered as much as we did.” Tamil militants in Sri Lanka have been involved in a bloody ethnic conflict with the majority Sinhalese.They want an independent homeland in the north and eastern provinces of the former British colony of Ceylon.More than 6,000 people have been killed in the four years of fighting.India’s Sikhs are also fighting for an independent state in the northern state of Punjab.The Tamil rebels agreed recently to surrender their arms as part of an Indian-brokered peace plan, but it is still not clear if the ceasefire will hold.“It was wonderful news,” said Sodiraj.“If it works, we can all go home to Sri Lanka.” When the Tamils arrived in Canada a year ago, they came under a tempo- i ary program the government had set up to alleviate a crushing backlog of refugee claims.STATUS UNCERTAIN Refugees from a list of countries, including Sri Lanka, who arrived between May 1986 and February 1987 were given ministerial permits which allowed them to stay and work in Canada but has left them in a sort of official no-man’s-land.“Nobody knows how long they have to wait,” says Joyce Yedid, a Montreal immigration lawyer.“Not even the government.They’re in a kind of void.“Their situation does not differ from that of thousands of Salvadorans, Afghans, Iranians and others on minister’s permits.” “At some point, they will be brought into the refugee system or be given permanent residence,” said Joe Stern, chairman of the Refugee Status Advisory Committee.“The minister’s permits gave them legal status, but it’s true it leaves an element of uncertainty.” Immigration Canada official Rose-Lise Arrelle said that at any time du ring the year they’ve been here, the Tamils could have asked to be placed in the normal stream of refugee pro cessing.That means making a claim to refugee status and getting in line for a series of hearings and potential appeals that can take up to five years If the Tamils didn’t make that request, and most of them probably didn’t, said Arrelle, they do not have to start the process until their minis ter’s permits expire.Letters Why does our mayor make such statements?Dear Mr.Bury: RE : Mayor Blackwood & The Municipal Association Mayor Blackwood asks in Monday’s Record (July 27): “Who is the Municipal Association?” He goes on to state that “they are a lobby of five or six people with a negative point of view on anything happening in Knowl-ton these days”.The Municipal Association, which has a membership of over 140 persons — including well-known names and members of council — from all over the Town of Brome Lake — was formed some years ago at a meeting which was very well attended and which had been called because of general popular concern about certain happenings in the town.That meeting was attended by Mayor Blackwood.Since that time it has acted as a watchdog over town affairs with a member constantly attending council meetings.It has an executive committee.It made a number of proposals for the improvement of the new zoning regulations.Why does our mayor make such statements which he must know are incorrect and misleading?Is he trying to silence the voice of the people?Has he forgotten the recent meeting which was called by the Municipal Association concerning his proposal to change zoning so that some of HIS land could be used for commercial installations — it being suggested that a shopping centre would be built although no developer had made any actual suggestion that this would be done?At this meeting which was well attended by some 60 persons, it was generally agreed that the town did not need such a development even should it be built.His representative was present.Perhaps it will be news to our mayor that membership in the Muni- -HI' iJ m!>1.i.auijM- GSSJ ‘i.—- ^ pssKSsssSîr^ cipal Association is increasing and more such statements from him can only help.The need for such an orga nisation to keep a watch on what i.happening in this town is becoming more and more evident.Yours truly, RICHARD

refugees were in Canada TORONTO (CP) — After being thrown into the ocean on a foggy night, the only clue the 174 Asians had that they had finally landed safely in Canada was a Nova Scotia licence plate.In an exclusive interview Tuesday with the Toronto Globe and Mail, four of the East Indians gave the first public account of their harrowing 19-day voyage to Canada in the cargo hold of a rusty freighter ship They also discussed why they fled India and later the sanctuary of West Germany and the Netherlands, what they hope to find in Canada, and the negative reception of Canadians at large.“We want Canadians to believe that we are not terrorists .that we are refugees fleeing persecution in our homeland,” said one of the 174, who each paid $5,000 to get passage on the Amelie "All we want is to live in peace,” a 23-year-old Sikh university student said Tuesday.“That is why we came to Canada.“We came to find the peace that we cannot have in India.” The four asked not to be identified for fear of reprisals against family members in India.CONNECTIONS One man who had been living in the Netherlands said he had heard of the ship through a friend.“We all heard through friends or connections,” he said, speaking through their interpreter, Manohar Singh Bal of the International Sikh Organization.“I don’t know who organized it.It was not as if we all had a meeting together and decided to come to Canada in this manner.” For almost a week and under the cover of darkness, the Asians made their way one by one to the Amelie.which was docked near Rotterdam.They were taken to the cargo hold and told that they could not surface.Most paid for their trip through loans from friends, and others got money through connections with the All-India Sikh Student Federation.The men stressed the federation had nothing to do with organizing the trip They said those who got money from the federation were sent because their lives were in danger.The men said they had to stay in the hold for the entire voyage.“It smelled awful.Many of us got very sick.We got only one meal a day of bread and rice.No tea, no coffee, just water.” Water from the ocean leaked into the hold making the floor on which they slept cold and damp.LOST WEIGHT On average, each passenger lost 12 to 15 pounds.One man said he lost 22 pounds because he was so sick.Once the Amelie reached the coast of Nova Scotia, they were hustled onto the deck on a dark, foggy night.A canvas tarpaulin was tied to the bow of the ship and tossed into the sea below.“We were about two metres off the shore and two crew members started to throw us overboard on to the carpet and we slid down into the water,” one man said.“We were very scared because we did not believe we were in Canada.We all held hands in the water in mud up to our knees and hips and waded to shore.The whole operation took no more than 15 minutes and then the ship pulled away.” The men said they walked along the shore and then through a wooded area for almost four hours.Then they saw a light on a roadway and began to walk along it until they met a man.It was near the Nova Scotian’s home that one of the Asians, who had once lived in Canada before being ordered to leave, saw the markings on a licence plate and announced eagerly to his exhausted shipmates that they were, in fact, in Canada Within minutes, police arrived and later in the day, the 174 boarded buses for the Canadian Forces base in Halifax.The men said they were treated very well at the base, but they have reservations about their treatment by Immigration Department officials.“It was almost a week before we were told we could have a lawyer,” one of the four said.“We were never aware that we were entitled to one until that time." i % I The RECORD—Friday.August 7.1!»87—5 Environment Record Three local provincial parks: The best shots are with a camera tr Frontenac is the newest of three Eastern Townships parks.'v^ By Ron Paquet If your seeking refuge from the city and the heat, three Quebec provincial parks within 100 kilometres of Sherbrooke offer a wide range of recreational activities.All three are open seven days a weeks, and Orford and Frontenac are open year-round.Y a ma ska is open from June to September Frontenac Park.100 kilometres north-east of Sherbrooke on highway 112 near Thetford Mines, is the largest with 155-square kilometres of wilderness.Formed by glaciers one million years ago, it is a natural repository of wildlife, coniferous trees, lakes and rivers.If you’re searching for a place to relax, read, watch people or swim, you can cool your heels in either the Baie aux Rats Musqués in Saint Daniel or in the 21-square km crystal clear Saint Francis Lake.Parking is available for 320 cars at $4 per vehicle.CHALETS If you forget your lunch you can always pick up some fast food at the concession stand in Saint Daniel.Campers can choose from 31 campsites in Saint Daniel for $7 a day.However there are no utilities available at the campsites.The only facilities available are showers and toilets in the chalet on the beach The government plans to build another 150 campsites in the southern sector of Saint-Daniel.Park director Nelson Reniere says he doesn’t have a date for the opening “we are waiting for an operational budget from the Ministry.” If you want to be blown away by the wind you can pick up a sail boat for $24 for a half day or $10 an hour.Sail boards go for $22 a day or $9 an hour.There are launch sites around the park for those who own their own boat If you prefer the comforts of home you can rent any of seven chalets at Lac a la Barbue or Lac des Iles from $78 a day.Those with a bit of Radisson s blood in them you can throw your tent and fishing rod in a rented canoe, for $14 a day and paddle your way down Saint Francis Lake into Savage Bay where the campsites are located in the southern sector.If you’re lucky you may catch a few bass or trout.CROWDS COMING Get there early though because even though the park is a little out of the way it seems to be gaining in popularity.“Last year we had a total of 34,500 visitors," Reniere said This year, as of July 15 we already received 21,700 people." Reniere expects attendence figures to surpass those of last year.“We could reach 50,000 because we’ve had better weather and the park is better known," he said Enjoying the park one day last month.Paul Labonté of Weedon bemoaned the influx of people He said he comes to the park to relax with the family found it a little crowded over the first two July weekends.“By 1 o'clock nobody could get in, the parking was full,” Labonté said.Tripping through nature can be equally exciting, but don’t forget your camera.A five kilometre wooded path will lead you around a peat bog marsh, or you may encounter a coyote or bear while leisurely strolling through the woods.Leave your guns at home because the park is a protected natural reserve and hunting is prohibited.SWIM OR SAIL Heading 100 kilometres west of Sherbrooke on the Eastern Townships autoroute, 15 kilometres from Granby, is Yamaska Park You can swim or sail for the day on the 4.7-square kilometres artificial lake, the Choiniere reservoir.The lake looks so natural that you would never know that you’re swimming in a 15 metre deep rese-voir that was built in 1973.It took one season for the resevoir to fill with water from the Yamaska river If you want to throw a small bass or perch on your barbecue bring your rod and rent a little row boat for $8 an hour or $23 for the whole day.Yamaska park director Bruno Podorieszach said there is some talk of making a skating rink and a toboggan run.Parking for the day will set you back $8 with space available for 600 cars.Come early though because it sometimes gets crowded.Podorieszach said as many as 3000 people use the park on one hot mid-July Saturday."We had a line of cars 1.6 kilometres long,” Podorieszach said.BUSIEST IN JULY Last year 217,500 visitors came to the park.So far this year they 've received 35,000 visitors.“Our busiest season is during the two-week construction holiday (in July).” Mount Orford park is by far the most popular region in the Eastern Townships.Alhough the campgrounds opened in 1967, the oldest of the three parks opened in 1938 with a $69,000 donation from private investors in the region.“The government wanted to protect the region so that future gene rations could benefit,” said Orford Park director Robert Place.The benefactors wanted to ensure that this virgin land and its natural re- sources would be protected from industrial and commercial developers.Next year the park celebrates its 50th anniversary.The activities in this 58-kilometre square park are diverse enough to satisfy everyone’s personal tastes.On a hot July Saturday it takes less than 30 minutes from Sherbrooke on the autoroute to enjoy the cool refreshing water of Stukely and Fraser Lake.Stukely has 333 campsites and Fraser has parking available for 200 cars.GOLF COURSE TOO The park also offers a first class 18-hole golf course, 29 trails of excellent alpine skiing on the 853 metre-high Orford Mountain.40 ki lometres of rolling cross-country ski trails and finally, the Orford Arts Center with its 600 seating ca pacity.You can swim, hike and take pictures, if you’re lucky you’ll see Montreal on a clear day on the Or ford summit, that is providing you have the energy to get there.Don’t forget a sweater for those cool summer mornings.Sorry, hunting is prohibited.Access to the park is a bargain at $3 for day visitors and $7 if you intend to stay the night.It you want to leave the cooking behind and take in a bit of evening festivities, there are a number of fine restu rants and clubs in Magog and Sherbrooke.TRY ROUGHING IT So if your planning a vacation, weekend retreat or even a day’s outing leave pricey hotels behind you and try roughing it this summer.If you want to reserve or know more

a guide can be refreshing “It’s a great chance to get out into the woods at night and in a big group, it’s safe,” guide Sylvie Deslauriers said on a tour last month.Deslauriers is an activities organizer for the Regroupement Bois Beckett.The organization was formed several years ago when a group of worried people got together to prevent Beckett woods from being replaced by buildings.Fortunately their efforts succeeded, leaving 175 acres of land free for Sherbrookers to experience Every week for a month and a half, an evening activity is plan ned, ranging from outdoor movie parties with pyjamas as the attire, to a August ball known for its ex-trordinary shooting star display.Daily events are set up, which are geared for children and families, while the nocturnal ones tend more towards adults.AMPLIFIES SOUND On a recent evening “sounds of the night” was the planned event.This sounded very intriguing, especially to a city dweller who might associate this with day noises like cars going by.just at a lower volume.Everyone met at 8:30 p.m.at a shed near the entrance of the woods.Deslauriers brought a parabolic microphone which amplifies the sounds it picks up and reproduces them through headphones or onto tape.This instrument is excellent for the outdoors as it allows one to hear the slightest noise such as someone whispering or a bird singing 10 feet away.Armed with the hand held instrument and a guide, about 15 people investigated Beckett woods.There are about five kilometres of marked paths to follow, all ol which seemed to have been taken when trying to find the way back.There remain several reminders of the Beckett family.A carriage wheel, abandoned a hundred years ago.had fallen around three saplings.Now a round strip of metal comes out of one tree and goes into the next.A stump is all that is left of the third Bricks that were produced by the family business and used in the original house are found in a pile.DIVING BATS Aside from traces of humanity, the occasional bird or owl could be heard A branch moved at one point and foot prints nearby indica- ted that a deer had caused this.A bat swooped low and nearly got caught in a woman’s hair.Everyone seemed to enjoy an activity that is rarely available to city folks, although all seemed familiar when the bird expert of the group switched on a tape recorder which emitted bird and forest sounds.This was to annoy the Beckett Woods residents and cause them to defend their territory by screeching and calling out.It sounded like a campus pub.The next evenings outing will be on Tuesday August 11 from 8 30 to 10:30 p.m.This is on that great falling starnight.“La Fête au Bois Beckett" is a day full activities and things to see.It will be on Sunday, August 16.For more details

elephants any longer either The Bourassa government has committed itself to saving money by contracting out many park services and activities to private individuals.The idea, says ministry representative Pierre Depelteau is to reduce the parks deficit by oas-sing operating costs on to private business Last April activities in Orford’s Stukely Lake were contracted out by public tender.This spring, Orford’s Fraser Lake and Yamaska Park followed the same route.Until then, the Ministry of Leisure, Hunting and Fishing was spending $1.5 million a year on the three provincial parks in the Eastern Townships.The revenues came to only $237,000.HALF TO SALARIES The three parks spent half their budgets on salaries for the 44 park employees, all of whom received a 3.5 per cent pay raise last year.Many of the provincial park employees who work the summer receive an average $10 to $12 an hour.The rest of the budget went into improving park facilities and building roads and new buildings.At $811,000 Orford was the most expensive to run, but still only 10 per cent of that was paid for by entrance fees and other revenue.Depelteau said the parks now cost less to run “Last year Orford saved $152,000 because private enterprise assumed responsibility for some of the parks activities” he said.“We hired fewer people for the summer.” In 1985 when activities in the two beach areas were administered by the government, Orford park had 34 employees.That number dropped to 15 in 1986 and 1987.Yamaska park will save approximately $42,000 in labor this year because it will be contracting out services such as beach surveillance and maintenance of the park grounds.Last year the Yamaska received $91,000 in revenues, but spent $347,000.ENTRANCE FEES The possibility for profit lies in entrance fees Of the region’s three parks.Lake Stukely in Orford is the most popular spot, and so far 107,000 visitors have gone to the park this summer.And private enterprise can mean a price hike.At Yamaska it costs $8 per car to enter the park When the government was running it in 1986 it cost only $4.Auclair Bouchard Enterprises paid $204,600 for the three-year contract to operate the Stukely Lake.Bouchard pays for maintenance, electricity and lifeguards on the beach and camping area.He collects $7 a day from campers, and $14 when basic services such as water, electricity and sewage are added.Magog businessman Bertrand Brassard paid $6,200 for the two-year contract to run recently deve loped Fraser Lake The contract permits him to collect the entrance fee of $2 per car and an additional $1 per person.His concession stand and boat rental will give him addi tional profits.TOO EARLY YET?In addition to his operations in Orford Brassard just signed a four-year, $45,000 contract to run the operations in Yamaska park.However Brassard must use some of his profits to maintain the park and pay for lifeguards, who receive an average of $5.50 to $6.50 an hour.Brassard said it’s too early to de termine whether or not there is a profit to be made in the two parks “I’m in this business because I enjoy it,” said Brassard.“I have many expenses.For example, it costs me $25,000 to hire employees just for the summer in Yamaska and another $30,000 to cut the grass.” But Brassard is certainly interested in the urban yourist.He ex peets to do better in Yamaska be- SAINT-DANIEL (JES) — Park Frontenac was officially opened Tuesday morning when the Mi nister of Hunting, Fishing, and Recreation, Yvon Picotte and president of the orientation committee, Maurice Boulet si gned a protocol of agreement making the area a provincial park.The park, which is located 20 minutes south east of Thetford Mines, is in the two counties of Frontenac and Mégantic-Compton.Over 25 per cent of Quebec s population are within two hours dri ving distance of the area.Three sectors constitute it, that of St-Daniel, St-Praxède and the south sector.It covers 156 sq kilo metres and is made up of several lakes and mountains.MNAs Roger Lefebvre of Frontenac county and Madeleine Bélanger of the Mégantic-Compton riding were among the 200 people from the area who came to witness and celebrate this “jour de fête”.Boulet had reason to rejoice after he and his committee worked so hard to have the park recognized.It is the 15th green space officially recognized as a provincial park by the Quebec government The first such proposal was heard 20 years ago The signing of the agreement means that the committee will be consulted concerning all investments, decisions and other aspects that affect the park.An investment of $6.8 million has been put into the park since 1976 cause many Montrealers come down during the weekends.“Ya niaska is better known than Fraser Lake because Fraser is new.” FRONTENAU NEW So far this year 35,000 people have gone to Yamaska.Last year they received 140,000 visitors.It is too early to project attendance figures for Fraser Lake, but aeeor ding to the government it averages 2,500 on a sunny weekend Frontenac Park is the only park in the region still public-ally admi nistered.However a Sherbrooke man.Jean-Roch Boutet signed a three-year $10,000 contract in 1985 for the rental of seven chalets in the south sector of the park.Each chalet rents for a basic price of $78 a day.Depelteau said that the- park, which opened in 1981, is too new for any enterprise to profit from it “We are presently working with a citizens committee to determine the feasibility of turning the park over to the private sector," said Depelteau.The park revieved $75,000 in revenues last year They operated on a $586,000 budget Another $4 million is needed.The money will be used for ma ny different, areas in building and improvement, but the priority rests on the camping aspect A 140-place camping site will hopefully be ready by next year in the St-Daniel area.Each of the three sectors has different aetivi ties available within it The St Daniel one gives sailing and windsurfing lessons as well as equipment rental.Swimming and picnicking are also welcome.A beach is accessible by road in the St-Praxède area.Both these areas are on lake St-Francois, which provides hydro-electric power for the Eastern Townships through its dam The South sector is in a more rugged region Along two of its lakes, there are seven cabins which can be rented.These are accessible by road.Savage bay, off Lake St Francois, has several areas in which to Canoe camp, one of which is on an island There are already 10 km of trails many of which can be used (or horseback riding.This will be the fifth recreational (no hunting or fishing) park in Quebec.Boulet stressed the importance of having an educational and natural surrounding readily available for the public, (t is also great for the tourism industry On Aug.15, from 10 a m to 4 p.m., the public is invited to spend the day at one of the three sectors.Different activities, all free, are planned for the areas.It’s about time to enjoy another provincial park ft—The RECORD—Friday, August 7, 1987 Farm and Business —__tel mam Assessments and reassessments The Canadian net income tax system is a self-assessing system.Under this system, all individuals who have a tax liability and all corporations must file an annual income tax return, without any notice or formal demand, in the prescribed form and must compute their income tax payable for the year.Once the income tax return is filed, the Minister must, with due dispatch, examine each tax return filed and set the income tax payable together with interest and penalties, if any, or determine the amount of refund to which the taxpayer is entitled.Following the examination of the return, the Minister sends a notice of assessment to the person who filed the return.Usually, such notices are issued two to three months after the return is filed.Following this initial review, the returns are filed by group of taxpayers.Taxpayers may be grouped in “categories” according to the type of business or profession, according to their gross revenue, according to their net Tax talks income, etc.and, periodically, from within the groups, the Department selects a sample for audit or a more detailed, in depth review.UPON COMPLETION Once this audit or review has been completed, the Department may adjust the taxpayer’s income by disallowing an expense, deduction or exemption claimed, or by adding undeclared income, etc.Usually, the Department advises the taxpayer of the adjustments proposed and allows an 18 day period within which the taxpayer may make representations.If necessary, the Department will then issue a notice reassessment which should reflect the amendments proposed.The notice of assessment must be issued at any time within three years following the mailing of the original notice of assessment (initial assessment) or a notification that no tax is payable for the taxation year.However, under our tax laws, the Department may issue a reassessment in respect of income tax returns, at any time, in the case of fraud or misrepresentation that is attributable to neglect, carelessness or wilful default (false return) or when a waiver specifying the matter on which a reassessment may be issued has been filed.BELANGER HÉBERT An integral part of RAYMOND.CHABOT, MARTIN, PARÉ Chartered accountants Nike will ignore suit over Beatles’ song Jolt Cola promises real sugar and doubles caffeine dosage NEW YORK (AP) — The head of Nike Inc.said Tuesday the company plans to use the Beatles’ song Revolution in a new advertising campaign next month despite a lawsuit that charges the company has used the recording without proper permission.“Any implication that we did anything improper or disrespectful to the Beatles or their music simply is not true, in our opinion, and we plan to vigorously defend ourselves in court,” Philip Knight, head of the Beaverton, Ore.-based athletic shoe company, said at a news conference.Knight said Nike went to “extreme lengths” to secure rights to the song as performed by the Beatles.He invited the surviving three members of the Beatles to meet with him to discuss how Nike has used the recording in its ads.Knight said Nike is an innocent victim in a longstanding legal battle between Apple Records, the Beatles’ recording company, and the companies that have licensing rights to the Beatles’ original recordings, Capitol Records Inc.and EMI Records Ltd.Apple filed a $15-million US lawsuit in a New York state court last week against Capitol, EMI, Nike and Weiden and Kennedy Advertising, charging the Beatles’ recording of Revolution had been used without approval in Nike commercials.PAYS FOR RIGHTS Nike reportedly paid $250,000 for rights to use the recording in the campaign launched in March.Television commercials ran on network and cable outlets through May.The commercials feature black-and-white shots of people walking, jogging, playing basketball and other sports.The Beatles’ song plays in the background.Knight said Yoko Ono Lennon, widow of the Beatles’ John Lennon and an Apple director, reportedly had supported giving Nike a licence to use the song and said he wondered what the three surviving members of the group, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, thought of it.Knight said if the Beatles were offended by the way the song was being used, he would “take that into consideration” and possibly change the ads.But he said the company plans to continue using the song as a backdrop to a new set of ads that could begin appearing within 30 days.SITQ buys Galeries Orford SHERBROOKE (SDH) — The Galeries Orford shopping centre in Magog has a new owner.On July 29 La Société Immobilière Trans-Québec Inc.(SITQ) in association with La Caisse de Dépôt purchased the Galeries, marking the first of what may be several properties bought by the two companies within the Eastern Townships.Other properties in the Eastern Townships will be sought in the future, says Fernand Perreault, president of the SITQ, but for the time being the company will concentrate on the Galeries Orford.Jean-Louis Dubé, manager for SITQ’s shopping centres, explained the Magog complex will undergo renovations to promote an agreeable atmosphere for both its developers and the consumers it will serve.By Ron Sudlow VANCOUVER (CP) — Not every company includes a recipe for a stiff drink in quarterly reports to shareholders.But then Vancouver-based Jolt Beverage Co.Ltd., producers of Jolt Cola, is not an average company when it comes to a sales approach It asks consumers to “dare to want it all" and drink a cola with twice the caffeine of its wimpy competitors.Jolt, which has a billboard cam paign featuring a saucer eyed model looking like he has his finger in a light socket, also promises real sugar instead of corn syrup or artificial sweeteners.In trading on the Vancouver Stock Exchange, its stock has ranged between 55 cents and $4.50 per share and is currently in the $2.30-per-share range.But despite the macho approach to marketing — it’s touted as the Rambo of colas— Jolt Beverage Career vice-president Bob Bell says the company is not attempting to take on the cola biggies.“All we need is one per cent.If we got one per cent of the national market in the United States alone, it would be $330 million (US) in a year.In Canada, $27 million is one per cent of the sales.CHARGES MORE “We designed our campaign to attract those people (to whom) twice the caffeine real sugar means something.We charge more for it.” Jolt was developed by Joseph Rapp, a Rochester, N.Y., soft drink bottler who wanted to market an old-fashioned soda fountain cola that would zap drinkers out of their decaffeinated doldrums.But Bell says Jolt is really no sweeter than other colas and the caffeine hit is more like a love tap.The 355-millilitre can with the lightning bolt contains one-fifth the caffeine in an equivalent amount of coffee.CISC GASTON LI SSARD THE CLSC GASTON LESSARD is seeking a doctor for full time CLIENTELE: — Families with young children.—

Press OTTAWA — The banks have acted with “shocking haste” in raising the interest rates they charge on their credit cards, says Tory MP Reg Stackhouse, who plans to do something about it.Stackhouse says he will soon introduce a private member’s bill in the House of Commons to limit what financial institutions can charge.Legislation is necessary because major banks and trust companies refuse to act responsibly or fairly with consumers, said Stackhouse, who sparked a public investigation into high card rates last year.The banks began to lower the rates on their credit cards shortly before the investigation concluded.“I think they (the banks) have acted with shocking haste to raise their rates in contrast to the scandalous slowness in lowering them last spring,” the MP said in a telephone interview from his cottage at Bracebridge, Ont.“This is commercial obscenity.” The bill, which could be introduced later this month if Parliament reconvenes, would tie interest charges to a defined percentage above the Bank of Canada rate, Stackhouse said.“If the Bank of Canada rate rises, the card issuers will be allowed to increase their charges by no more than a legislated percentage,” he said.“If rates fall, they will have to cut their charges accordingly.” RAISES RATES Last Friday, the Royal Bank raised interest rates on outstanding credit card balances to 16.5 per cent from 15.9 per cent, effective Oct.1.The Toronto-Dominion Bank matched the increase Tuesday, effective Oct.5, and analysts expect other major financial institutions to follow.The moves came after the Bank of Canada rate soared nearly half a percentage point last Thursday to 9.22 per cent, prompting the five biggest banks to boost their prime rate to 10 per cent from 9.5 per cent.“Don’t they have any sense of fairness?” fumed Stackhouse, referring to the latest credit card charges.“Parliament must show that as big as these corporations are, the people are bigger still.” Stackhouse said the bill also calls for different floating limits for service station and department store credit cards, apart from the major cards such as Visa and MasterCard.His remarks contrast sharply with those of Don Blenkarn, chairman of the House of Commons finance committee, who called the increases “fair ball,” in view of the jumps in the Bank of Canada and prime rates.Domtar relocates SHERBROOKE (SDH) — The Domtar Paper & Products Group announced late last month that it has relocated the administration office of its South-East Quebec woodlands operation in Windsor.The relocation to the Eastern Townships is aimed at increasing the efficiency of Windsor’s woodlands operation, which is responsible for forest and public limits as well as supplying wood to the Domtar mills in Donnacona and Windsor.Domtar’s move from Ste-Foy involves the establishment of temporary offices on the present Domtar site in Windsor until a new fine papers complex is completed in the community.All the administration staff in the South-East Quebec operation, who number some 25 people, are affected by this change.They include employees located at the woodlands office in East Angus.ANNUITIES & RRIF’s All retirement options

Not if it is prepared and argued properly Torrie said this case will rely mainly on principles of international law, which were not even discussed during the Operation Dismantle suit.This new action is helped by the fact that in the previous case the court ruled that executive decisions were subject to review under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms Obviously the preparation of this case is incredibly complicated and time consuming.The actual date of the court action is still indefinite as so much work has to be done.To help in getting things going we can organize and NWLA in our communities, and here are some suggestions from the Canadian World Federalists: 1.Gather endorsation from groups and individuals.The success of this action depends on showing the Canadian government that behind the request for a court ruling on nuclear weapons there is a vast constituency which is too larte to ignore.2.Organize a local support group.If the NWLA is not part of your local peace group's program.write to the address below and they will help you to get organized.3.Obtain the support of your municipal and provincial government.If your municipality is already declared a Nuclear Weapons Free Zone, ask the council to endorse the NWLA as a follow-up.Or if not, get the ball rolling! 4.Organize a public education meeting.The NWLA is a fascinating and fresh approach to the nu clear issue which generates much interest and discussion, as does the concept of replacing the war system with an effective system of international law.5.Get other lawyers involved.Peter Weldon and Carleton Monk already represent a branch of Lawyers for Social Responsibility in the Eastern Townships.Spread the word to lawyers you know who have not already joined.6.Fundraising.Although lawyers working on this case, and many of the organizers, are volunteering their time, the NWLA will still require substantial funding.Money will be needed, for example, to bring witnesses from around the world.So an obvious way for local support groups to help is to raise funds.For more information write to : Nuclear Weapons Legal Action, 199 Pearson Ave., Toronto.Ont.M6G 1G6.The Townships Peace Group has endorsed this action as we feel that it is one of the most potentially powerful strategies to end the arms build-up that has been devised up to now.We do urge you to support the NWLA and raise people’s awareness of this issue.i____g«i KBCDHI Tuition is cheap and subjects aren’t bunk COWANSVILLE — Once again this fall, the Missisquoi Communi ty School will offer 10 weeks of night courses for just five dollars That's fifty cents a session for 15 hours of instruction in any of at least 20 different topics While students get neither credits nor diplomas.they also face neither examinations nor grading, and all sessions are followed with coffee and cookies Classes are held every Thursday night at 7:30, September 24 through November 26.To enroll, just show up.Already on the 1987 course list are Oil Painting, Basket Weaving, Bridge, Cake Decorating, Chair Caning, Crocheting, Regional Ecology, Fabric Painting, First Aid, Flower Arranging, Folk Dancing, French, Knitting, Lace-Making, Macramé.Quilting, Sewing, Smocking, Spanish, and Travelogue, consisting of a weekly slide show conducted by knowledgeable world travelers.The night school is also seeking volunteer teachers for proposed courses in Interior Decorating, Cribbage, Exercise.Household Carpentry, Upholstering, Plumbing, Motor Mechanics, and Ballroom Dancing.Prospective teachers are invited to suggest courses of their own.The pay is low, however: only small gifts of appreciation after the final session.The guiding notion of the Missisquoi Community School is ‘stone soup’, with each participant contri-buting knowledge toward the community benefit.And, after 42 years, there probably aren't many English-speaking families in Bromc-Missisquoi who haven't be nefitted from the school in some way.Anglican archdeacon John Peacock of Cowansville and Law rence Horner of East Farnham founded the Missisquoi Community School in 1945.as an outgrow th of a discussion group that had been meeting at the Bruck Club and the Farm Radio Forum' Horner had conducted during World War II.Pea cock’s group had read and talked about books.Horner had frequently invited local experts in various how-to subjects to give guest lectures as part of his program.After World War II gasoline rationing ended, making travel easier.Peacock and Horner combined their projects with the cooperation of Heroes Memorial High School.Heroes, now an elementary school, has hosted the Missisquoi Community School ever since.The original idea of the community school was to provide adult education At that time, local school boards didn’t offer any regular adult education.Accordingly.in early years the Missisquoi Community School stressed academics, enabling many students to belatedly earn high school diplomas.Typical courses were literature.philosophy, business skills, even remedial reading.After the District of Bedford organized their own adult education program, the Missisquoi Community School shifted focus to recrea tional subjects.It became a regio nal social hub, with enrollment reaching new highs in each of the past several years.For further information, call Sy Fullere, 263 1437.Man responsible for sex of child, don’t bother with feelings of guilt Dear Ann Landers: It makes me furious that in the year 1987 women are still being made to feel guilty if they give birth to a baby girl and the father wanted a boy.It happens all the time When the in-laws get into the act, it can be brutal By now everyone knows that it is the man who determines the sex of the child.A woman has two X chromosomes while the man has an X and a Y.The baby gets one chromosome from each parent.Two X's will result in a girl while an X and a Y will result in a boy.Since the man is the only one who has a Y, the burden is on him.Any woman whose husband is disappointed when a girl arrives should be told, “Don’t look at me, Buster, I can only work with what you gave me.It’s not my fault you didn’t do it right.” — Baffled in Canada Dear Canada: What a great rebuttal.That should settle his hash.Dear Ann Landers: I don't want to sound like a sourpuss but the world is changing and in some ways not for the better.People don’t have the same respect for things that were once held sacred — like the flag, for instance.A friend in Huntsville, Ala., sent me this little essay.Here’s a message that needs to be read by everyone who lives in this great country of ours.Will you priny it, Ann?— A Proud American Dear Proud : What a fine tribute.Here it is, with my thanks for sending it in.REMEMBER ME?Some people call me Old Glory, others call me the Star spangled Banner, but whatever they call me, I am your flag, the flag of the United States of America.Something has been bothering me, so I thought I might talk it over with you.I remember some time ago people lined up on both sides of the street to watch the parade and naturally, I was always there, proudly waving in the breeze.When your daddy saw me coming, he immediately removed his hat and placed it over his heart.Remember?And you, I remember you standing there straight as a soldier.You didn’t have a hat but you were giving the right salute.Remember your little sister?Not to be outdone, she was saluting the same as you, with her hand over her heart.Remember?What happened?I’m still the same old flag.Oh, I have added a few more stars since you were a boy.and a lot more blood has been shed since those parades of long ago.But I don’t feel as proud as I used to.When I come down your street, you just stand there with your hands in your pockets.I may get a small glance but then you look away.I see the children running around and shouting.They don’t seem to know who I am.I saw one man take off his hat and look around.He didn’t see anybody else with his hat off so he quickly put his back on.Is it a sin to be patriotic any more?Have you forgotten what I stand for and where I’ve been?An-zio, Normandy, Omaha Beach, Ann Landers Guadalcanal, Korea and Vietnam.Take a look at the Memorial Honor Rolls some time.Look at the names of those who never came back in order to keep this Republic free.One Nation Under God.When you salute me, you are actually saluting them.Well, it won’t be long until I’ll be coming down your street again So, when you see me, stand straight, place your right hand over your heart.I’ll salute you waving back.And I’ll know that you remembered.Dear Ann Landers: I read your letters to E.A.in Riverside, the man who wanted to know why stores charge odd prices, such as $.99, $1.99, $29.99, etc.You answered: “It’s a sales gimmick that’s been around forever.” lama 10-year-old boy and I think I have a better answer Around 1875, Melville Stone owned a newspaper named the Chicago Daily News.The price was a penny.Circulation was good, but after a while it began to drop off.He found that it was because pennies were in short supply.Mr.Stone persuaded Chicago merchants to sell their merchandise for a penny below the regular price.This put more pennies in cir- culation and it helped save the paper.My source is “Why Didn’t I Think of That?” by Webb Garrison.— N.C.Reader Dear N.C.: When 1 receive a letter like this from a 10-year-old boy it gives me fresh hope for the youth of this country.Thanks for writing.Dear Ann Landers: Here’s my response to the reader in Arlington, Texas, who blasted people who don’t go to church and then wonder why the minister doesn’t know to pronounce their names at a funeral Do you want to know why I don’t like to go to church?Most of the time I feel like a puppet.Sing.Stand.Sit.Repeat after me.Stand.Sit.Sing.Face the person next to you.Shake hands.Sing.Sit.The prelude to the money pitch is smooth but transparent to anyone who takes the time to think about what is being said.It’s a form of conditioning.Give for this.Give for that.Count your blessings.It’s better to give than to receive.Praise the Lord.Be generous when the basket comes around.Seldom does the preacher tell us that we are good.We are told that we are sinners and we must repent.Church should make us feel better about ourselves, not worse.So I stay home a lot.— J.N., Elk Grove, Calif.Dear Elk: Have you considered another congregation?I recommend it, although I have a sneaking suspicion that you would find something to criticize wherever you went.The next letter might in terest you.Dear Ann Landers: For those unchurched folks who want a religious funeral, 1 offer the following.I wish I knew the name of the author.Whenever I go past a church 1 always stop and visit.I want to make sure that when they carry me in, the Lord won’t ask, “Who is it?” — R.G.D., Orlando Dear Orlando: Thanks for the light touch.And now I’m going to hear from a few thousand folks who will tell me that the Lord knows who you are whether you got to church or not, and that merely showing up doesn't make you a good person and staying home doesn’t make you a bad person.I will also hear from those who will tell me that churches must be supported like other institutions, and if the people who attend services don’t contribute who will?Dear Ann Landers: I want to unload a year’s worth of guilt by exposing a racket I cleaned up on In 1983 I applied for a job in a telephone sales office.1 worked from 6 in the morning until 11 at night, five days a week.The first week I made $450.After two months I made $600 a week.I traveled from New York to Nevada selling photocophying supplies to mom-and-pop stores.In early 1986 I met a man who helped open my eyes.I quit the racket and went to work in a factory for $180 a week.What a comedown for a hot-shot who once took home $740! Here’s Tip No.1 : If you receive a call from someone asking about your Xerox or Savin, Canon, etc., don’t assume they work for that company just because they know the model number The most common pitch is: “There has been a price change in toner and developer and our computer says you were overlooked when we notified our choice customers, so I set aside two boxes of each of the old price.Will that cover you for awhile?” (A box of toner is usually two bottles of generic brand.It should sell for $59.1 got $250 a box.I Go to a retailer in your neighbor hood and check the price.You’ll be shocked Another pitch: “Our warehouse is overstocked.The buyer before you asked me to hold a box You’re lucky.This price is below wholesale.” Ask questions, such as what’s the name of your company?The ad dress?Phone number?This letter is long, but it’s impor tant, Ann.I used to be one of the best rip-off artists in the country and I know the ropes.This same scam works for telex machines, computers (robbins, etc.) and how sweet it is.Sign me — No Name Or City, Just Glad to Be Myself Again.Dear Yourself: It’s not every day a reformed crook writes in to confess past sins and to share the secrets of the scam.You undoubtedly opened a good many eyes today.Social notes 40th wedding anniversary Clinton and Phyllis Smith of Sa-wyerville will be celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary on August 15th, 1987 Family and friends are invited to share in a social evening at the Sawyerville Community Centre on August 15th, 7:00 -10:00 p m.Best wishes only please.Engagement Douglas and Joye Crosby of Len-noxville are pleased to announce the engagement and upcoming marriage of their daughter Katri na Ann to Robert Alton, son of Alton and Reta Burton of Compton The wedding will take place at St.George’s Church, Lennoxville, Que.on September 5, 1987.SEFSAC put to rest Piggery Theatre Evening Discussing plans for Sherbrooke Hospital Ladies' Auxiliary's Piggery Theatre Evening, August 14.are: Mr.Frederic Halin.caterer; Mrs.Marguerite Bladon, Convenor; Mrs.Joan Bishop, Auxiliary President; and Mr.Timothy Belford, General Manager Piggery Theatre.Sutton Junction Winifred Brown The community extends sympathy in the death of Glen Frizzle of Knowlton to his wife Frances, daughter Sheila and husband Charles Derby, son Ron and all other members of the family.Glen will be greatly missed by all who knew him Mr.and Mrs.Terrence Osborne, Masson, have returned home, following a week’s holiday with their parents, Mr.and Mrs.William Brown and Mrs.N.Osborne of Brome.While here, they called on other relatives and friends in the area.Recent callers of Mrs E.Mudd were Mr.and Mrs.T.Fleury.Barton, Vt., Mr.and Mrs E Fuller, Sherbrooke, and Mrs.Gladys Frizzle.Brome.The July meeting of St.Aidan s Guild, was cancelled, the regular meeting will be held on August 21 with Mrs.O.Barrett as hostess.SHERBROOKE duplex overlookin>U*t i4assawippi.Price $107,000 LAKE MASSAV|pjn| nummer cottage, 150’ lake front, ?.V!Ï!ied.Price $65,000.LENNOXVILLE: New listing.Split-level modern residence, fireplace, revenue apartment, suoerb condition.JUDY BUDNING Royal Lepage 564-1624 RES.563-9834 BUS.NORTH HATLEY AREA: 20 acre farm, charming older home, partly renovated, fireplace, large country kitchen, 4 plus bedrooms, above-ground swimming pool, sit in garden-park landscaped lot A great value.AYER’S CLIFF: New brick bungalow on picturesque pond setting, lovely master bedroom on suite and guest room Unique design.RIVER FRONT: Rablin bungalow on double garden lot.Brick barbeque and boat landing Separate garage Make this your four season home Market price GRANITEVILLE: Minutes from Lake Mem-phremagog Renovated farm house, 3 bedrooms, on 4 lush acres with running stream, small barn.Just a delight!

and all their belongings on Sunday afternoon, July 26, when a tornado swept through the countryside of Maple Hill, near Kinnear’s Mills.The Payeur family were all at home when around 2:55 p.m.in half a second, high wind with rain and a lightning storm struck, wiping out all in the way of its path.The Payeur home which had only been built a year before was completely demolished, leaving debris scattered for miles.The family escaped with only a few bumps and scratches.This tornado continued on, uprooting trees, and taking a barn and garage owned by Paul Leblanc.Skipping to the 13th Range, it took a machinery shed and barn owned by Claude Nadeau and before blowing itself out, swept over the Stewart-Beattie sugar bush, uprooting and damaging about three fourths of the trees and killing a cow.All this disaster has upset the life of people in this farming area at Maple Hill.However, most are coping well and returning to their normal duties, they are also busy giving support to the unfortunate ones of the Sunday storm.Personal belongings and items lost can never be replaced for Monique and Jacques Payeur, but During the afternoon photos were taken and pictures shown of costume parties in the past, dating back to 1961, a hobo party in 1961 and an Easter one in 1963, the centennial in 1967 and Mod party in 1972.These were greatly enjoyed, with many good laughs.Since 1961, many of the members have moved away.Bonnie expressed her thanks to her friends for such an enjoyable with the help of family, friends and neighbours, hammers are busy, and all are at work to replace the Payeur home.The ladies are doing their part with home cooking to help when mealtime comes Mrs.Laura Coates and son Fred of Indian River, Mich., were holiday guests of Mrs.Lillian Ma-clver.Mrs.Mary White and son Jonathan of Knowlton were calling on their mother and grandmother Mrs.Helen Gaulin.Mrs.Kay Gordon has returned from a two week holiday visiting Mrs.Nita McKenna, Porters Lake, N.S.,

spent two weeks.Murray Kelso and friends from Ontario were recent callers of Mrs.Mary Mayhew en route to Adderly and Inverness to visit relatives and friends.Callers at the home of Mr.and Mrs.JohnN.Mackenzie were Mrs.Laura Wiggin and Miss Isabell Mackenzie, Barre, Vt., Albert Murray, Bury, Mr.and Mrs.Dale Maclver and family of Lennoxville going away get-together.She will be greatly missed by the Club members and people in the community.For many years she was secretary at the “Nearly New Shop” and also took care of many things in her very quiet way.Some left for their homes around three, but several remained to play cards among the beautiful surroundings of the lake and many trees.around.Ten years ago a tornado almost following the same path swept over this area, taking the barn on the farm owned by Alfred Bouffard and causing extensive damage.and C.White of Lachine.Cadets Stephen Allaire, Mathew Begbie and Paul Guillette are spending three weeks at Cap Chat Cadet

their steps and when they leave after a late afternoon scrimmage, most members of Team Canada haven't lost their enthusiasm.They had their vacations cut short by a month to prepare for the six-country Canada Cup tournament, and because they are a diverse collection of the National Hockey League’s finest stars, it was expected they would need several.if not many days to develop cohesiveness.But as Team Canada worked energetically through another morning drill and an afternoon scrimmage Thursday.Wayne Gretzky, the superstar who is participating in his third Canada Cup, shook his head admiringly “The hardest thing for some players is to be out on the ice practising too long because you can start to get bored with what’s going on,” he said."But the way the coaching staff has set things up, everything is high-paced and high-intensity for one hour, so everybody’s excited about getting on the ice.” GIVE GOOD SHOW A day earlier, the team had been split for its first intra-squad game, and by the time it was half over the players were whisking down both ends of the rink, offering onlookers a Stanley Cup-playoff calibre of play.It surprised me a bit,” admitted Dave Poulin, the Philadel phia Flyers centre.“But really no mattei what you do in the sum mer, you have to be in hockey shape “1 think most of us are comfor table from the start because most of the guys here know each other.Most of

Sher-Lenn and Sher-Mont Little League baseball teams are making it very difficult for local sport fans to choose sides.Both teams are well on their way to the finals of the week long provincal championships being held at the Champ de Mars parkin Sherbrooke.Yesterday it was Sher-Lenn that showed their stuff, and did they ever.The locals not only beat last year’s defending champs, Valley-field, but they knocked them right out of the tournment with a resounding 6-0 victory.Strong pitching, solid defense and heavy batting was responsible for the locals triumph.The win by Sher-Lenn holds special for the team; it was only one short year ago that the tables were turned, with Valleyfield eliminating Sher-Lenn in the nail-biting final game 4-3.Sher-Lenn had their bats in fine form last night belting out 12 hits compared to three for Valleyfield.Leading the local squad’s attack was Dominik Lapierre with two doubles, a single and two RBI’s.Lue Bélanger also came through in the offence department, contributing with a double, a single and tw o RBI's Danny Grenier had the only home run, but with the team’s singles and doubles type of game they did not need more of the long ball.Sher-Lenn's defense was another major reason for their victory.Pitcher, Mark The HeatDe-boer, held Valleyfield to three hits to pick up his second win and second straight shutout.The team was not hurt by the play of their shortstop either.Not only can Luc Bélanger smack the cowhide, he can also field his position like a vaccum sucks up dirt.He robbed a Valleyfield batter of a sure base hit with a spectacular snag in the hole.Sher-Lenn struck often and quick, scoring one run in the first inning followed by another in the second The locals put the game out of reach in the fourth inning with a whopping three runs.The icing on the cake came in the fifth as the host's added another run.Valleyfield.on the other hand, never really got started and their bats would stay cold againist the hot pitching of Deboer.The victory has moved Sher-Lenn into the semi-finals where they will met Parc-Extension on Friday.The game will be played at 5:30 p.m.at Champ de Mars.The winner will advance to the finals, which will be held Saturday afternoon at 2 against yet another local team, Sher-Mont.If all indications of this last week’s action hold true, baseball lovers should be in for a real treat, especially if Sher-Lenn and Sher-Mont met in the final.Bishop’s coaches are popular Expos rally late to notch victory A PITTSBURGH lAP) — Tim Wal-lach tied the score with a single and Andres Galarraga’s run-scoring fielder’s choice put Montreal ahead as the Expos rallied in the eighth inning for a 6-3 National League baseball victory Thursday night over the Pittsburgh Pirates.With Pittsburgh leading 3-2, reliever Jim Gott, 1-1, walked Tim Raines to start the eighth and Raines stole second.Mitch Webster was credited with a single when shortstop A1 Pedrique’s shoe caught in the turf and he was unable to make a throw, allowing Raines to take third.One out later, Wallach singled to centre field to score Raines and send Webster to third.Webster scored the go-ahead run when Galarraga just beat second baseman Johhny Ray’s relay throw to first on an attempted double play, allowing Webster to score.Jeff Parrett picks up win with two innings of scoreless pitching.Jeff Parrett, 3-3, pitched two innings of scoreless relief for the victory and Tim Burke pitched the ninth inning for his 10th save.The Expos added two runs in the ninth on Gott’s wild pitch allowing Vance Law to score from third and Hubie Brooks’s RBI groundout.Pittsburgh's Bobby Bonilla snapped a 2-2 tie when he hit his 10th homer in the sixth inning off starter Floyd Youmans.Barry Jones entered the game when Pittsburgh starter Rick Reuschel suffered a muscle spasm in his lower right back in the fourth inning.Left fielder Barry Bonds dropped Raines’s leadoff fly ball to set up two unearned runs against Reuschel in the first inning.Brooks, Wallach and Galarraga hit consecutive singles and Herm Win-ningham added a sacrifice fly.The Pirates tied the score in the second on Sid Bream’s single, a double by Bonilla, R.J.Reynolds’s infield out an a sacrifice fly by Mike LaValliere.Becker still has hurdles to jump By Jim Morris WINNIPEG (CP) — Not every teenager flies into town on a chartered Learjet because he’s missed his scheduled flight from Toronto.But then again, not every teenager is a two-time Wimbledon champion.Boris Becker’s life is very different from that of most other 19-year-olds.The freckled, redheaded West German endures daily the sometimes tortuous fame and exhausting schedule that goes with being one of the worlds’ best tennis players.He’s also intelligent enough to realize there is life after tennis.“I don’t want to be, at 47, remembered as a 17-year-old Wimbledon champion,” Becker, in Winnipeg to play Kevin Curren in an exhibition tennis match, told a news conference Thursday.“I want to be something else.” Just what that something else is remains to be seen, said Becker, who plans to play tennis at least 10 more years.Dressed in a sport shirt and blue jeans, Becker listened intently to each question, then paused in thought before delivering crisp, deliberate answers.Being ranked No.2 in the world by the Association of Tennis Professionals isn’t good enough for him.‘‘My ambition is to be the best tennis player in the world.I have to prove it to myself.I’m not at the moment.I still have a long way to go to reach the top.I have to beat a couple players many times.” He admitted feeling a deep anguish when eliminated in only the second round of this year’s Wimbledon tournament “It was very difficult for me, but I was pleased with the way the people treated me afterwards.It helped a lot.” DEFEATS CURREN Becker was just 17 when he shocked the world in 1985 by defeating Curren to become the youngest and only unseeded player to win Wimbledon’s singles championships, a feat he repeated in 1986.His exposure to fame at such an early age has helped him mature, said his manager Ion Tiriac.“You have to consider what he went through since 17,” said the Romanian tennis guru.“He went through what a normal human being doesn’t go through in 50 years, or 99 per cent of people ever go through.Tiriac said his young charge is no different than anyone else his age, except he has a booming serve that has been clocked at 140 miles an hour and a cat-like quickness.“He’s just a normal 19-year-old kid He likes his rock concerts.Sometimes he just likes to go around unknown and do what any other 19-year-old does, but that’s very difficult for him.There’s a price to be paid and he accepts that.” Becker said as a youngster he idolized Swedish great Bjorn Borg.“I wish I could have played him when he was playing.” Could he have beaten Borg?“I have no idea,” Becker said after a moment’s pause.Quick-witted and sharp with his answers, Becker said tennis has remained fun, despite his often gruelling schedule.“It’s more fun than ever because now I can make shots I couldn’t two years ago, even last year.” Wadkins stays cool even with the heat PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.(AP) — Bobby Wadkins beat the heat thanks to an early starting time and shot a 4-under-par 68 Thursday to take the first-round lead in the 69th PGA golf championship.“Playing early was a good break for me,” said Wadkins, 36, a nonwinner in his 13-year PGA Tour career.“ The wind did n’t kic k up until about the last three holes, and the greens were as good as they’re going to be.” He also missed the worst of the heat and humidity, which Arnold Palmer called “the worst I can recall in 57 years.” Temperatures were in the middle 30s and humidity was listed at more than 90 per cent early in the day.Wadkins capped his round with a birdie-4 on the final hole to move in front by a stroke, then let the heat and humidity take care of all challengers.“The late players got way the woi|st of it,” said veteran Ray Floyd, the only late starter able to gain a place among the leaders by carding a 70.Journeyman touring pro Dave Edwards and University of Maryland golf coach Fred Funk shared second at 69.FGAA\ TILDEN NEEDS WIN Tied with Floyd at 70 were Tom Watson, needing a victory in this event to complete a career sweep of golf’s Big Four titles; West German Bernhard Langer, who finished bogey-bogey to lose a share of the lead: Lanny Wadkins, a former PGA champ and Bobby's older brother; Larry Nelson, a previous winner of the PGA and U S.Open titles; and Curtis Strange, who scored his second victory of the season last week at Memphis, Tenn.Of those leaders, only Floyd.44.played in the more difficult conditions of the afternoon.Let's face it, basketball is as American as apple pie or, yes, even Abner Doubleday's invention : baseball.Canada does not have a pro basketball league nor will it likely ever have one, which is particularly odd if you consider the indoor sport with the 10-foot high hoops that Americans love to paint their faces and scream themselves hoarse for is a Canadian invention.In the U.S., there are people who would commit hah kari if they couldn’t watch their NBA games on the tube.You thought the 60s Vietnam protests were bad?The National Gaurd would be called in, as well as the entire American army, to smother the brewing unrest if the National Basketball Association ever went belly up.This is the sport which draws as many major celebrities (like Jack Nicholson and Johnny Carson to name a conspicuous couple) as it does players to final-season games: something the Lakers and Celtics proved this year The NBA also has the highest average salary of any sports league in North America at $450,000 (major league baseball is next at $412.000.The NFL and NHL are paying peanuts at $203,000 and $160,000 res-pecitvely).So when the average amateur sports buff thinks of basketball in Canada he likely thinks of large metropolitan centres such as Montreal or Toronto as producing the basketball coaches and players that constitute most of the sport’s amateur activity in this country.The Eastern Townships is probably not even on this average boob’s basketball map Yet something doesn’t jive with this theory.Consider how many Lennoxville hoop coaches are calling shots for Quebec’s provincial teams this year and bingo ! The area suddenly looks like high-cut sneaker heaven.Three coaches from the area just finished helping young players master their skills from July 6 to Aug.2 at provincial camps made possible through grants from the Quebec Basketball Federation.Eddie Po-mykala, Bishop’s University information officer and men’s basketball head coach, is heading the Quebec Espoir team.Aptly named, the squad for players 17-and-under serves as a hopeful launching pad for young athletes aspiring to wear Quebec team jerseys one day.Gilles Gaudette, head coach of Champlain College women’s basketball team and a Sherbrooke high school squad, is heading the provincial Espoir team for the women.And Morgan Quinn, head coach of the Champlain men’s basketball squad, is an apprentice coach for the senior men’s team.Does this make sense?It does if you consider what Pomykala’s theory is on the relationship between basketball and the area.“We’re very lucky because in the Townships we have many people interested in basketball,” he says.Though Pomykala figures basketball is as alive as dirty beaches in the region, he admits most people outside the Eastern Townships don’t know it even exists here “In basketball circles, the Townships have been experiencing a down period,” he says.“But I think there will be a revitalization in the high school ranks,” which in turn feeds the CEGEP and eventually univeristy programs.An example is Alexander Galt’s six foot six Rory Steele who was under Pomykala’s instruction throughout the camp.As a matter of fact, Pomykala has already thought of the recruiting potential more than once.“This is the way I establish my recruiting network,” he explains.“If they (the young athletes at the camp) enjoyed basketball and they liked me as coach,” then the chances of them one day wearing a Pearson Person By Craig Pearson Bishop’s uniform aren't so bad.That’s the idea, anyway.In fact, Pomykala coached the senior men’s team for three years, before moving to the younger ones last summer.Something like newspaper magnate Conrad Black, Pomykala is not missing an opportunity to snatch up what he wants.“It’s very interesting to note that two of my star players.David King and Pierre Tibblin.were involved six years each on the Espoir team and later the Quebec team,” he says."I'd love to find another David King or Pierre Tibblin ’’ It takes a little longer to lure a 16-year old to university than it does a coach.Pomykala has already found himself a new assistant coach at these camps by the name of Carlo Del Dosco, who coached and played for McGill But the real reasons Pomykala, Gaudette and Quinn were at these camps — besides recruiting perposes — is simple : they love teaching youngsters basketball.Ma, / iiMir « si Os / - 1 Pictured instructing Bishop’s players last season, Pomykala and a couple of his cronies have taken to teaching provincial athletes the same techniques during summer.Sport shorts Paul Azinger, this year’s leading money winner, sweltered to an 82.Defending champion Bob Tway shot a 78, as did U.S.Open champion Scott Simpson.Larry Mize, the Masters champ, was three shots better at 75.All played in the afternoon.So did Ben Crenshaw.Tom Kite and Seve Ballesteros of Spain, who all matched par with 72s.Australian Greg Norman and British Open champ Nick Faldo of England had 73s, also in the afternoon.DRAW GALLERY Palmer and Jack Nicklaus played in a morning threesome with Watson, a group that drew most of the gallery.“There was a lot of tradition in that group, a lot of history in that group, a lot of heritage in that group,” Watson said “We had a good time today.” Nicklaus, a five-time winner of the PGA, and Palmer.57.had a little less fun, however.Each struggled to a 76.“What I did on the back nine was ridiculous,” Nicklaus said after struggling to a 40 over the final nine holes.For one brief moment.Palmer recaptured some of the magic that helped make him one of golf's most popular players.He hit a 3-wood second shot to the green on the par-5 11th.then holed a 40-foot eagle putt.Palmer did a happy little jig, smiled broadly and bowed.PITTSBURGH (AP) — Bill Ma-zeroski, the slick-fielding second baseman who transformed the task of turning the double play into an art form, will have his uniform No.9 officially retired by the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night.Mazeroski, who hasn’t played for the Pirates in 15 years, holds numerous major league fielding records, including most double plays in a season, most in a career and more gold gloves (eight) than any other second baseman.In a ceremony Pirates general manager Syd Thrift calls long overdue, Mazeroski will be honored before the Pirates-Montreal Expos game.“I’m nervous about it,” said Ma^ zeroski, 50, who spent his entire 17-season major league career with the Pirates.“I’d have to call it the biggest honor of my career.” Mazeroski is the only player in baseball history to decide the seventh game of a World Series with a home run in the bottom of the ninth in Game 7 of the 1960 World Series.• MONTREAL (CP) — The Player’s International tennis tournament, with the strongest field it’s ever assembled, added another highly-ranked performer Thursday in Jimmy Connors, who will compete as a wild-card entry.Connors, 35, has a record 105 singles championships, but has never won the Player’s International, which starts next Monday after qualifying rounds on the weekend.The No.6-ranked Connors has reached the Player’s semifinal four times.LONDON (AP) — Cornerback LeRoy Irvin is the latest Los Angeles Rams player to complain about his pay, saying he wants the National Football League team to trade him.A starting cornerback in this year's Pro Bowl, Irvin wasn’t listed in a recent NFL salary poll of the 45 top-paid defensive backs.“I must not be that good because 45 guys make more than me,” he told the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Thursday.“They expect you to be all-pro and then pay you like a backup.They want you to win one for ‘the Gipper’ and then they throw you peanut shells, like some elephant.” Irvin said he’s unhappy the team won’t renegotiate the last year of his existing two-year contract.The extension ends this season and will pay him $250,000.Irvin’s teammate Eric Dicker-son has said he wants to be traded because he’s not in the top 10 on the running back salary list.• FREDONIA, N.Y.(AP) — Buffalo Bills defensive end Bruce Smith missed the NFL team’s morning practice Thursday after he was arrested for allegedly punching a Results man at a bar, coach Marv Levy announced Thursday.Levy said he had talked with Smith about the arrest early Thur sday, and that while “his absence from practice is an unexcused ab sence,” it may be the result of a misunderstanding.Levy said Smith was distraught when he talked to him about the incident Thursday morning and “expressed a lot of concern about his father’s reaction (to) what pu blicity might come out of it-.” Smith’s father has been ill recently.Smith said he wanted to go home to Norfolk, Va., to explain his story to his family, but Levy told Smith to telephone instead “(If) he interpreted that part of the conversation as being permis sion to go (home), he interpreted that incorrectly,” said Levy.You can play up to 8:00 P.M.1 of tna draw.tha day < Drarc Wed.Aug.5, 1987 17 29
