Brian Mulroney has marshalled his forces for the coming election campaign, shuffling ministers today to make his cabinet more politically alluring and bringing in a ringer from the diplomatic corps to bolster his embattled Conservatives in Quebec.Lucien Bouchard.49, a Mulroney crony from school days and since 1985 Canada’s ambassador to France, was brought into cabinet as secretary of state and named to the powerful planning and priorities committee — the inner cabinet.Mulroney passed over dozens of Quebec MPs to name Bouchard.The lawyer from Chicoutimi said he plans to seek a Quebec seat as soon as possible and not wait for the election, expected later this year or early in 1989.He told reporters that Mulroney called him in Paris and told him : “We need you in Ottawa and we need you now.” Liberal Leader John Turner said Bouchard’s appointment was a slap in the face of the Quebec MPs indicates Mulroney doesn’t have enough talent in his backbenches.Turner also said Bouchard doesn’t have any background as a Progressive Conservative, but does have a school friendship with the prime minister.“The only qualification he seems to have is being a close buddy of the prime minister,” Turner told reporters.“I guess I should say to the Conservative backbenches, I feel very sorry for those of you who haven’t gone to school with Mr.Mulroney.If you haven’t, you don’t have much chance of promotion.” And New Democrat Lome Nys-trom warned that Canadians won’t like the idea of a non-elected cabinet minister.“It’s not democratic,” Nystrom said.7/87/8It'snot democratic.” After the swearing-in ceremony at Government House, Mulroney told reporters the cabinet changes suit his political strategy.“It’s a good team, it’s a good fit,” he said.“This puts us in fighting trim for an election, when it comes.” Among the heavy hitters shuffled were Trade Minister Pat Carney, who was shifted to Treasury Board.John Crosbie moves from transport to the trade portfolio, making the more affable minister responsible for selling free trade to Canadians in the election campaign.Crosbie, a free-trade backer before even Mulroney was, will also run the cabinet’s trade executive committee.Referring to his reputation as a bit of a renegade in the Mulroney cabinet, Crosbie told reporters “I certainly want to be a cannon, and not a loose one.” And he acknowledged that selling the free-trade agreement with the United States to Canadians is going to be a key part of his job.In going to Treasury Board, the government agency that oversees spending, Carney will be less often in the public eye and her abrasive style won’t be as evident.The job is also less demanding for Carney, whose health has caused her problems.Mulroney’s new cabinet OTTAWA (CP) - The following is a

Bury ASCOT CORNER -Sherbrooke-area dairy farmers failed to resolve their differences Thursday as they resumed a meeting postponed earlier when police had to be called to prevent fistfights.Although Part 2 of the 1988 annual meeting of the Syndicat de producteurs de lait de l’Estrie didn’t require the presence of cops, it failed to bring together the two sides in the union's internal war over milk-production quotas.The farmers are split into two camps over Quebec's two-pool milk-sales formula.Although they are all members of the same union and operate under the same production and marketing board, some farmers sell their milk at a higher price than others.Fluid’ milk producers, whose milk is packaged for drinking, get more money for it and are paid under a different formula than in- dustrial’ producers, whose milk goes to processing plants and is dried or converted to butter, ice cream, yogourt and other secondary dairy products The fluid producers must meet higher sanitation and quality standards than the industrial producers.and presumably have higher costs COURT ACTION A group of six industrial pool members have launched a court action, suing their own federation to have the two pool system ruled illegal because it discriminates against them unfairly.Led by Jacques Blais, president of the Sherbrooke-area Union des Producteurs Agricole but also one of the six farmers, the Sherbrooke area UPA executive authorized union money to pay for the lawsuit even though there is no consensus See TWO-PRICE, Page 3.Cans and cash RECORD/GRANT SIMEON t— *< f A

Peter Lowrey QUEBEC (CP) — Rich prospective immigrants will continue to be able to settle in Quebec by making investments guaranteed by a bank, Immigration Minister Louise Robic said Thursday.Ottawa now has agreed to allow the guaranteed investments across Canada, Robic told the legislature.The federal government had threatened to ban Quebec’s investor-immigrant plan.Under similar programs in other provinces, prospective immigrants must put money into risk ventures.Under new regulations, investor-immigrants must enter Canada with $700,000 in net capital and invest at least $500,000 for three years or more, Robic told reporters, adding the investment can be guaranteed by a bank.As before, Quebec requires the money to be invested through a stockbroker.The investor, who must have a proven track record in business, can choose his investments, provided they are Quebec-based businesses with assets of less than $25 million.If they bring in only $500,000, they must invest $250,000 in an enterprise for at least three years but without the benefit of a guarantee.Previously, the $700,000 category did not exist.GOT ADVICE Robic said brokers and trust companies had advised her that demanding an extra $200,000 in capital would not affect the attractiveness of the program.The plan is aimed at wealthy people such as Hong Kong residents who are seeking new havens around the world for their money.The Hong Kong entrepreneurs face a deadline of 1997, when the British colony is to transfer to Chinese control.The Quebec scheme has also drawn interest from Taiwan and Singapore millionaires.Bacon gets rid of Bill 101 QUEBEC (CP) — Premier Robert Bourassa handed responsibli-ty for Quebec’s contentious language law Thursday to a soft-spoken backbencher who declared he wanted to ease linguistic tensions in the province.“Now is the time to cool down a bit, and what I am going to do should help bring this pressure down," said Guy Rivard, 51, who replaced Cultural Affairs Minister Lise Bacon as minister responsible for the 11-year-old law known as Bill 101.Bacon, who carried the ball for the government on the language issue since the Liberals were elected in December 1985, had asked to be relieved of responsibility for Bill 101.She retains her portfolio as cultural affairs minister and vicepremier.The bearded, greying Rivard was first elected in 1985 for the Montreal-area riding of Rosemont.He has maintained a low profile in the legislature and is an unknown figure to the public.His new job is considered a political minefield.Rivard said he wanted time to study the issues before making any comment on what he planned to do.He is expected to have to cope with a storm of controversy when the Supreme Court of Canada rules on the legality of Bill 101s law’s French-only sign rule Bourassa’s retreat from an election promise to allow bilingual signs has angered many among Quebec’s English minority.But francophone groups still fear he will undermine the law, which has already been weakened by a series of court judgments.Bourassa: Trudeau may be good for Meech Lake QUEBEC (CP) — Premier Robert Bourassa dismissed suggestions Thursday that former prime minister Pierre Trudeau's attack on the Meech Lake accord might delay ratification of the deal.Trudeau’s comments before the Senate could have the opposite effect, Bourassa said at a news conference.“There could be premiers having lived through periods of confrontation with Mr.Trudeau who might be hardened in their resolve to see the Meech Lake accord ratified,” Bourassa said.The constitutional accord must be ratified by all 10 legislatures by 1990.So far, three have approved the deal.Bourassa said there was nothing new in Trudeau’s argument Wednesday that the deal imperils Canada’s future.Trudeau made similar comments before a Commons hearing last year on the agreement.Trudeau said recognition of Que bec as a distinct society would lead to "two constitutions, two charters (of rights) promoting two distinct set of values and eventually two Canadas.” But Bourassa said he considered the agreement “one of the great successes of modern history in Canadian federalism.” He would not comment on Trudeau's statement that he had outsmarted Prime Minister Brian Mulroney in constitutional talks last year.The statement was an unusual compliment from Trudeau who has never hidden his scorn for Bourassa and once described him as a "hot dog eater.” Intergovernmental Affairs Mi nister Gil Remillard told reporters earlier that Trudeau “has a certain way of viewing this federation, this country, but it is not a view we share.” Quebec nurses dissatisfied QUEBEC (CP) — Singing a song with the lyrics, “if you don’t listen, we’re going to the States,” nurses paraded outside the legislature Thursday to press for better pay and working conditions.The brief demonstration by about 500 nurses in warm sunshine was a highlight of the week-long convention of the Quebec Nursing Federation which represents 36,000 nurses in 385 establishments.The musical threat was serious, said Raymond Bosse, vice-president of the federation, who no ted 2,751 nurses left Quebec between 1981 and 1986, 1,850 to practise elsewhere.The rest left nursing.The convention delegates took a hard line with their provincial government employers, rejecting an offer to extend their contract for a year in return for a four-per-cent wage hike, indexed to inflation up to a ceiling of five per cent.The delegates also backed Alberta nurses who staged an illegal strike earlier this year.“I think the delegates felt that even with $360,000 in fines it was worth it for the Alberta nurses,” Bosse said in an interview.Asked whether Quebec nurses, who do not have the right to strike, would contemplate such a move.Bosse said it was too early to tell since their contract runs until the end of 1988.Quebec nurses are dissatisfied with pay and benefits thatputthem fourth in Canada behind those in Ontario, Alberta and B.C., she said.“When a nurse who’s working in western Quebec can cross the river to Ottawa and make $8,000 to $10,000 more a year, that’s not right,” she said Turks end hunger strike MONTREAL (CP) — Turkish refugee claimants, hoping for better treatment from Canada’s new immigration minister, have called off a hunger strike they planned in defiance of threatened deportations.The 22 men began the protest Thursday but after less than two hours voted to put off the action until after they have looked into the possibility of talks with Barbara McDougall, who was named earlier in the day to succeed Be noit Bouchard in the immigration portfolio.Atanos Katrapani, a spokesman, said in a hastily prepared statement the protesters accepted the suggestion of immigration lawyer Diane Belanger and of a coordinating committee to delay the hunger strike and let them “start talks if possible with the new minister.” But in Ottawa, McDougall said she won’t take a different line on the Turks from the one set by Bouchard.“We have established our policy.There are not going to be any changes and I will be meeting with my department, with my cabinet colleagues on procedures from here,” McDougall said Katrapani said a hand vote shoved 17 protesters in favor of postponing the strike, three opposed and two abstained.The Turks had lined up against the wall of a provincial immigration building FEELS RELIEF “I feel relieved that at least we have a postponement of this hunger strike up until the time we see if all other means have been exhausted.’ Katrapani said The short-lived protest line began with Mustafa Doygun, who said in faltering English that he hoped a hunger strike would convince Quebecers to “give my people a chance.” The protesters included Ismail Ozkan, 29, the first of the group scheduled for expulsion Ozkan defied a deportation order March 20 when he took refuge in an east-end church.The Turks sat stone-faced with their backs against the wall of the building and spoke little.At a news conference in Montreal, NDP Leader Ed Broadbent called for a 60-day moratorium on deportation of refugee claimants, pending clarification of federal policy.“We can’t have two standards for refugees, that would be profoundly unfair,” he said.“We can’t treat refugees differently because they are in different parts of the country.” NO CONFLICT Broadbent said his desire for a uniform national policy on refugees did not contradict his support for the Meech Lake accord which would recognize Quebec as a distinct society.“Quebec should have an influence in immigration.But within the category of immigration where the national government has an obligation, no distinction should be made between Turks and other groups.” In Quebec City, Premier Robert Bourassa said that he hoped Quebec and the federal government could work out a “solution to a problem that is judicial but above all human.” 2—The RECORD—Friday, April 1, 1988 PMO tried to get award photo in the papers OTTAWA (CP) — The word most often used in conjunction with Pierre Trudeau when he was prime minister was charisma.Charisma is the ability to inspire followers with devotion and enthusiasm.Trudeau has been gone from the prime minister’s job for almost four years now, but the old charisma seems to be clinging to him.He was at the hearings on the Meech Lake accord and the Senate chamber was full.Not only that, but an hour before he was due to appear the area in front of the chamber was jammed Trudeau will be back on Parliament Hill again Wednesday, April 6, for a soiree celebrating the 20th anniversary of his Liberal leadership victory.Senator Keith Davey, one of the former prime minister’s chief cheerleaders and one of the organizers, says there will be about 130 guests, “principally people who were involved with Pierre Trudeau at the leadership convention ” Others have also been invited, but Davey — a strong critic of Liberal Leader John Turner — said he doesn’t believe Turner is among them./Turner ran against Trudeau at the 1968 convention.;< Other guests include Jean Marchand and Gerard Pelletier, who along with Trudeau formed the Three Wise Men from Quebec who entered federal politics in the mid-1960s.Former finance minister Marc Lalonde — another Turner critic — is also one of the organizers of the affair.;• “I’m sure there will be some toasts and speeches.but it’s a purely personal, social gathering,” said Davey.“Obviously Trudeau will speak but he’s not going to talk about political affairs or make a substantial kind of speech.“He might, you never know what he’s going to do, but 1 don’t think so.” Capital Notebook By Gordon Grant The Canadian Press One of the major topics of conversation in Ottawa these days — aside from the weather, of course, — is the date of the next federal election.Everyone has heard from a highly placed source the date on which Canadians will pick their next government.Trouble is, all those highly placed sources have different dates.One man — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney — knows and he’s not telling.But he does seem to be on the campaign trail, travelling hither and yon and taking every opportunity to provide what his office quaintly calls photo opportunities.That’s when the prime minister shakes a hand, kisses a baby, opens a coal mine or stands at the bottom of a ski hill and has the moment recorded by media cameramen Here’s an example of how far his staff will go to try to get his picture on television or into a newspaper.Mulroney is in New York to receive an award and to make a speech.The tradition of the speaker coming as an after-dinner treat is changed for Mulroney so the folks back home can at least get a 30-second clip.He speaks before the meal.However, the organizers say the award will come at the end of the dinner.Exit photographers and cameramen.Good heavens, or words to that effect, say Mulroney flacks, we’ll miss the morning papers and late news if we wait until the end.The organizers change their minds.The award will come between courses.Get the cameramen and photographers back here.Too late for us, say the TV folk.The still photographers return and do their clicking.No one uses the pictures.Too late?“No,” says a photographer.“No one cares.” Ah, well, the prime minister’s staff tried.Smoking threatens daughter’s health: Dad can’t visit CORNWALL, Ont.(CP) — A man whose smoking threatens the health of his asthmatic daughter has had his visiting rights stripped by a family court judge.Judge J.T.Robson said he agonized over the decision to cut off Gary Casselman’s access to his daughter Meghan, now nearly three.But after hearing medical evidence that Meghan’s allergy to smoke brings on life-threatening asthma attacks, and evidence that the father continued to smoke when he visited her, Robson concluded the visits were of “so little benefit to Meghan, that they ought to be discontinued." Casselman, 49, may ask the court to restore visting rights if he stops smoking and if her health im-prooves by that time, the judge ruled in a recent written decision.The father was granted visiting rights with the mother’s consent in August 1986.In June 1987, Meghan was diagnosed as having “extremely brittle asthma.” Doctors found she is allergic to tobacco smoke, grass, cats, dogs and house dust.Her mother.Man-dy Bourdon and husband Emile Bourdon, immediately quit smoking.But Casselman did not.After visits, the child would wheeze, become agitated and have nightmares.The Bourdons said Wednesday that Meghan has not been in hospital for her allergies since Casselman stopped visiting.In October.Dr.Dokiso Nchama, Meghan's pediatrician, wrote an unsolicited letter to the mother's lawyer to warn that the child's health was in danger.By that time, she had been admitted to hospital six times.Nchama wrote he “almost lost this child on the morning of Oct.11.“This is not the first time this child has been admitted in this state although it was the sickest she has ever been.” Most of the attacks were directly or shortly after the father’s visits.The pediatrician said he was worried the child would die as a result of exposure to the smoke, which was entirely preventable.Urban affairs minister elected Manitoba NDP chief WINNIPEG (CP) — Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley will stay on in a caretaker capacity until the April 26 general election at the request of Gary Doer, the new leader of the province’s New Democratic Party.Doer, Manitoba’s urban affairs minister who squeaked to a third-ballot victory Wednesday night, told a news conference on Thursday that he believes he should become premier only by virtue of an NDP win at the polls.“I had very strong feelings that I wanted to win the respect of Manitobans, not just back into a job through a leadership race,” said Doer, 40, who edged Agriculture Minister Leonard Harapiak by 21 votes to claim the leadership.Pawley, who announced he was stepping down after his government fell on March 8 on a non confidence vote, had said he would ask Lt.-Gov.George Johnson to accept his resignation and appoint his successor as premier until the election.However, after discussing the matter with Doer, Pawley and his successor met with Johnson and Doer emerged to say Pawley would stay on as premier.“It wasn’t an arm-wrestling contest.He knew my feelings,” said Doer of his conversation with Pawley.He was favored to succeed Pawley throughout the 2V2-week leadership campaign but Harapiak showed surprising tenacity at the convention, held in a stuffy meeting room at the Winnipeg Convention Centre.Doer denied he was worried about becoming a record shortterm premier.“Well, I wouldn’t be the shortest premier in history, I checked that out.so that wasn’t a concern, but I was concerned about the public having the right to decide.” Earlier in the day, he met with most NDP candidates to give them a pep talk.The party is striving to regain ground lost to the Progressive Conservatives and Liberals who both hold big leads over the NDP in recent polls.Peace bonds don’t always work for the abused KITCHENER, Ont.(CP) — Donna thought when she left her abusive husband that her problems were over, but she was wrong.Among other things, he: —Attacked her in her home after crawling through the bathroom window; —Waited for her outside her door and dragged her down the street until her hands bled; —Telephoned her incessantly to shout obscenities ; —And, threw rocks at her friends’ cars.“He was obsessed with me, and he harassed me and harassed me and harassed me,” said the 27-year-old woman, who requested anonymity because of fear of retaliation by her ex-husband.Her greatest fear is that he’ll attack again — despite several court orders to keep him away.“It’s true that (court orders) are not always effective methods of solving the problem,” said Crown attorney Peter Speyer.“I think in the majority of the cases people, because they’ve gone to court and because they have been told by the judge, they abide by it.But there are a number of cases.where there are powerful emotions, that they may disregard the directions of the judge.” A recent study conducted in London, Ont., suggested court orders resulting in peace bonds, criminal charges or probation are effective ways of stopping many men from harassing their ex-wives.LACKS DETERRENT For 30 per cent of abusers, there’s no deterrent — not even the possibility of a jail term — “and that’s frightening,” said social worker Barbara Pressman.Men who ignore court orders tend to believe a woman is their possession and are consumed with jealousy at the thought she might see someone else, said Pressman.“These women are at great risk,” she said.“The criminal justice system isn’t enough.” For the moment, at least, Donna’s husband has been staying away since a judge ordered a peace bond that now carries the threat of a criminal charge if he contacts her again.Donna is acutely aware of the fact that he’s broken earlier an restraining order and a common-law peace bond, which carried a $500 fine.She was only able to get the latest bond after he broke her nose and gave her a concussion while her children huddled upstairs.While support groups exist for victims of domestic violence, Peter Fisher of the Catholic Family Counselling Centre said more are needed.In Kitchener, there’s a three-month waiting list to join the centre’s program.Even if more groups existed, Fisher noted, “frequently, the women are afraid to come here because their ex-husbands follow them here.“There are lots of those situations.Some of them are still very afraid.Her husband keeps coming back to the house, threatening her, trying to get her back.” USUALLY WORKS He said when they do go “to the extreme” of getting a peace bond, it usually works but not always.A common-law peace bond can be obtained from a justice of the peace.The man has to sign the bond agreeing to the conditions.If he ignores them, he can be fined or sentenced to six months in jail.A second type of peace bond often results after a criminal charge is laid.If the conditions of the bond are broken, a judge can sentence the offender to severe penalties depending on the circumstances.Another option is a restraining or non-molestation order under the Ontario Family Law Act which is often issued after a divorce or separation.Stephen Haller, a family court lawyer, said the only restraining order that works is one which carries a criminal charge.“The penalties should be specified and set out and strengthened,” he said.Parizeau’s win hasn’t put the expected punch back into Quebec politics By Penny MacRae QUEBEC (CP) — Jacques Parizeau has finally become the undisputed ruler of the Parti Québécois.Parizeau was unchallenged for the top job after his supporters staged a palace coup last fall and drove his predecessor, Pierre Marc Johnson, into political oblivion.Some people thought Parizeau’s return from exile would inject some excitement into Quebec politics.They may have been wrong.The excitement meter for his leadership campaign had been set at low ever since he launched his bid in a dilapidated church basement in east-end Quebec City in January, When he was introduced as the “future president of the Republic of Quebec,” even singer Pauline Julien, the onetime separatist firebrand, wasn’t looking at the stage from her front-row seat.sprawling sports arenas where the PQ used to hold rallies that attracted thousands.T/-’//Tûr»r1 The tepid applause for Parizeau’s speech paled beside the delirious receptions given PQ founder René Lévesque, whose rapid-fire, passionate oratory used to bring members to their feet.Unlike Levesque, the people’s politician, Parizeau prefers to be addressed as “Monsieur Parizeau” and is known for his upper-crust airs and three-piece suits.But Parizeau has more than just image problems.She was too busy knitting.DISDAINED BY TV On March 19, after Parizeau was acclaimed leader, Quebec's TV networks disdained to carry his victory speech live since there was no leadership convention.That day, half the Montreal hotel ballroom where he was crowned had to be curtained off to make it appear fuller — a far cry from the GO SEPARATIST He has been awaiting his summons since quitting the PQ three years ago, when Lévesque dropped independence as an election plank.Defying opinion polls that indicate a separatist platform would spell electoral suicide, Parizeau wants the PQ to be a “sovereignty party, before, during and after” the next provincial election.That is unacceptable for many Georg* MacLaren, Publisher.Randy Klnncar, Assistant Publisher.Charlat Bury, Tditor.Lloyd G.Schalb, Advertising

said Bertrand St-Arnaud, head of the PQ’s leadership organizing committee.“Such a transformation can only turn the PQ into a party disconnected from the real needs of the people, a radical, marginal party,” said St-Arnaud, a 29-year-old lawyer who supported Johnson.MANY RESIGNED Since Parizeau became leader, about 60 elected PQ officials have resigned and no one knows how many rank-and-file members have left quietly.Parizeau's supporters hope his reputation as a respected economist will lend much-needed credibility to the separatist movement.But even there, Parizeau faces major problems.He is known as the architect of the successful stock-savings plan under which Quebecers invest in stocks in exchange for tax breaks ; that plan, however, looks a lot less attractive since last fall’s stock-market crash which caused investors to lose millions.Moreover, Parizeau is held responsible for the provincial deficit — currently at $2.4 billion — which mushroomed during his nine years as PQ finance minister.Also, polls suggest that as long as French-speaking Quebecers feel secure about the future of their language, it will be hard for Parizeau to build a case for independence.Ironically, it is Bill 101, a law passed by the PQ, which is the Liberals’ first line of defence.Premier Robert Bourassa has done everything to uphold the law making French the province’s official language.AFFIRMED POWERS And as long as the Meech Lake constitutional agreement holds, Bourassa can claim that he succeeded in affirming Quebec’s powers.If the Liberals continue to ride high in the polls, the PQ could be wiped out in the next provincial election.The joke now making the rounds is that the Liberals will have to send a fact-finding mission to Fredericton to see how the New Brunswick government copes without an opposition Politics can be cruel to the once-mighty.All Parizeau has to do is look at the Union Nationale which ruled the province 20 years ago, but now has been reduced to holding meetings in the basement of the leader’s house in Quebec City.The Windsor Star may have already foreseen this fate for the PQ in a cartoon following Parizeau’s coronation.It pictured a TV newscaster announcing: ‘ The Parti Québécois leadership convention was held today in Jacques Parizeau’s living room and, as expected, Parizeau, the only remaining PQ party member, elected himself to a solid, unanimous victory.” Drouin, Boivin new Hydro executives MONTREAL (CP) — Hydro-Quebec will have two high-paying new chiefs to succeed Guy Cou-lombe, the departing president and chief executive officer of the giant provineially owned utility.The cabinet announced Wednesday that Richard Drouin, 55, a high-profile Quebec City labor lawyer, will become chairman and chief executive for a five-year mandate.His annual salary will be $180,000.Claude Boivin, 54, a longtime Hydro-Quebec executive, was named president and chief operating officer.He requested a three- year mandate and his salary will be $160,000 a year.Drouin will be responsible for longterm strategy while Boivin will be concerned with day-to-day operations.CLIMBED RANKS Boivin, an engineer, joined the utility in 1965 and rose through the ranks to become executive vice-president of operations a year ago.As a lawyer, Drouin has been hired often by the government and has a reputation as Premier Robert Bourassa’s Mr.Fix-It, a tough-shooting adviser with more pull than many cabinet ministers.Drouin has also been a friend of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney since the early 1960s when Drouin was president of the Quebec Young Conservatives and Mulroney was studying law in Quebec City.Boivin noted the split in the top job is not unusual because Hydro-Quebec has grown so large.“We have over $5 billion in

The RKCORD—Friday.April 1.IW*-3 The Townships —___ icecora 'We have accomplished a great deal more than usual in the past two years" — MNA Promise fînally fulfilled: Yallières gives the nod for Richmond’s Route 116 RICHMOND — Yvon Vallieres, MNA for Richmond County, was in town Thursday making the news official.There will be construction this summer on the first of three programs which will rebuild and widen Route 116.Promises of a new highway which runs between Richmond.Danville and Kingsey Falls have been flowing for years.But Thursday morning, Vallières made it official.The first segment where travellers have noticed orange surveyors’ sticks and utility poles, is where it will all begin this sum mer.The first segment to get the facelift will start at Mason Road and end at Lalonde Road, a distance of 5.1 kilometres.The cost of construction on this segment is $2.6 million.Expropriation has been completed, utility poles are being moved and by summer work should start.There v.ill be a slow lane on part of this section too, helping to move the heavy traffic which accounts for 15 per cent of total traffic.With about 3.000 vehicles using the route each day and a few hundred more during the summer, travellers are anxious that this ocky Road to Dublin' be smoothed out as soon as possible.The second section, due for completion in 1991, will begin at Lalonde Road and end at Scotch Hill Road.The map shows projects all the w ay to Kingsey Falls which will not be completed until well into 1992 or 1993.Total cost of the project, which will also include a new section on the Spooner Pond Road just outside of Richmond, will be about $7.4 million.Hopefully, completion of the entire project will take not more than five years although very little advance work has been done in the Kingsey Falls and Spooner Pond road area "We have accomplished a great deal more than usual in the past twoyears.Theformer government had made very little headway with the project which has been on the back of the stove for several years," Vallières said."I am certain that, once completed.this route, which is a main artery in Richmond County, will not only speed the traveller on his way in comfort and more security, but the impact on the economy will definitely be positive." he said.The MNA said with the recent upswing in the local economy, the new route 116 will be an added bonus, both in the temporary job creation and attracting visitors who will look over the possibilities of investments and hopefully, stay in the area.RECORD/ORANT SIMEON Townshippers honor CBC Quebec boss Ray Chaisson, retiring Quebec region head of English services for the CBC, was honored by the Townshippers Association at a reception Thursday.Association president Heather Keith-Ryan praised Chaisson for his untiring work on behalf of minority communities outside Montreal.‘He worked very hard and conscientiously on behalf of Townshippers,' she said.Chaisson said he was ‘honored to be honored' and that he had been pleased to work with Townshippers, ‘especially in the old days when we had at least some money'.Chaisson is replaced at CBC by executive Nicole Bélanger, who was also present (right).Bélanger said veteran network reporter David Tweedy will begin work in late April at the Crown network's Sherbrooke radio news bureau, which has been unoccupied for 18 months.The lights you save may be your own.Auto club: Visible cars don’t collide as often SHERBROOKE — The Canadian Automobile Club thinks you should drive with your headlights on during the day.And they want you to start on Sunday.Saturday night Quebecers turn the clocks forward one hour for the summer — daylight savings time.According to a CAA communiqué delivered Wednesday, motorists should think about equipping their cars with a switch which turns the lights on as soon as it is started.Cars are easier to see with the lights on, and cars which are seen don’t get hit as often, says theCAA.“Daytime running lights can save lives.” “Full intensity” low-beam headlights, not parking lights, are what’s needed, the safe-driving group said.“The system should also turn on the side markers and taillights, so they won’t get forgotten at dusk,” adds the press release.The 415,000-member auto association, founded in 1904, says drivers should buy a CSA approved light-switch kit that can be turned off when the car is stationary but running.Starting Dec.1 1989, cars sold new in Canada will be required to have headlights which come on as soon as the car starts.MNA Y von Vallières points out where construction will take place.First Mason Road, then Ixilonde Road.fENT 116 Two-price dispute still divides Sherbrooke area dairy farmers Continued from page I about the issue among members.At their scheduled annual meeting two weeks ago the farmers couldn’t discuss the question peacefully.The six dissidents’ were expelled from the Syndicat and the meeting degenerated into shoving and shouting matches.President René Grimard called in provincial police and ended the meeting.Thursday the farmers began anew.But tempers never flared, as one of the first orders of business was news of a Superior Court injunction allowing two of the expulsions but nullifying the other four.RULING Mr.Justice Louis-Philippe Gali-peau ruled that Jacques Dion and Réjean Théroux, the two executive members expelled, had been kicked out according to the Syndi-cat's bylaws.But the judge said UPA president Blais, Roger Couture, Léonard Maheux and Jean-not Caron must be readmitted to the group because they had not been present and had no chance to explain themselves before they were expelled.The Syndicat lawyer told Thur-sday’s meeting that members could ask their board of directors to re-expel the four — according to the rules — if they wished to.But common sense prevailed, along with a feeling that the matter should be dealt with by the farmers themselves, without going to court.Next order of business was to choose a replacement nominee for Dion along with five other regional delegates to the provincial federation of dairy syndicates.Another member of the Blais clan was chosen by a large majority of the nearly 500 farmers present.But after the election most of the Blais group left the hall, and the remaining business at the meeting was carried by the other side.PRODUCTION COSTING The farmers passed a resolution asking that their province-wide group, La Fédération des produc leurs du lait du Québec, put pressure on the provincial and federal governments to change the sampling used for the cost-of-production formula which partly determines how much they are paid.The cost-of-production system is currently based on the costs of the most economical 70 per cent of the farmers; they want the formula to average the costs of all producers.After a lengthy discussion the farmers also passed a resolution asking that the local Syndicat and the provincial Fédération take all steps needed to make the long hoped-for "equal price for equal qua lity” milk pricing policy a reality.They want to allow all dairy far mers to join the fluid milk pool if they wish to, while compensating fluid producers for any loss in the value of their quota and also maintaining the industrial pool for any farmers who cannot or do not wish to join the fluid-milk pool.ETHICS Next the farmers passed a resolution on “union ethics”, urging local Syndicat directors to do their best to advance at the regional level any resolutions adopted at local meetings.They also resolved that “delegates or administrators rally to the will of the regional annual meeting and fight for regional resolutions at the (provincial) annual meeting.The farmers also voted to ask the Fédération to soothe a minor sore point and send out their cheques by the 15th and 30th of each month.They also asked that the age limit be abolished on the free-quota incentive program for new dairy farmers.After another long discussion the farmers voted to refer a resolution to the Fédération's annual meeting.asking that the provincial group “spend all the time, money and human resources needed" to reach an out-of-court settlement of the lawsuit of the six dissidents.Then the farmers agreed to ask the Fédération to require dairies to pay the 30 cents more per hecta-litre they receive for milk delivered in the winter.Currently the Fédération pays the seasonal bonus.With time running out on the meeting, several other resolutions on the table were referred to the Syndicats board of directors for consideration.ETHICS AGAIN Finally, Cookshire farmer Noel Landry again brought up the touchy question of union ethics.Landry moved a resolution blaming the six delegates chosen to represent the local Syndicat at the provincial Fédération’s annual meeting in Quebec city.Landry pointed out that the six, all members of UPA president Blais’ faction, had left the meeting immediately after they were chosen and had no idea what they will be supposed to talk about — what regional resolutions they are expected to support at the Fédération meeting in Quebec City.Since almost all Blais’ supporters had left at the same time, and most remaining represented the opposing point of view, Landry’s motion passed easily.Throughout the meeting two uniformed security guards manned the meeting room doorway.Outside two carloads of Quebec Police Force officers waited in case of violence.But the guards were never needed and the violence never came.Instead, both factions in the continuing battle went home with their differences intact, but also their dignity.KnowRon’s revamped Hub opens for Easter Aprü Fool's Day may be a strange day to some, for opening a new store but not for Louise Nieperhauser.Like Nieperhauser, this shadow puppet will be on hand at the Hub’s grand opening.By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — After $600,000 in renovations following a fire that completely destroyed the place last June, the George E.Draw building in Knowlton will open this weekend.The store will look like the original store that was constructed on the site more than a century ago.The new store also gets an old name, says Robert Ronci, the développer behind the rebuilding project.“It was called the Hub back in 1868 when it was first built,” said Ronci.“That’s because as the largest commercial building outside of Sherbrooke, and as such, was the hub of activity.” “The building was later renamed after a former mayor of Knowlton Georges E.Draw,” Ronci said.The building, which contains seven stores both new and old, was changed a little during the construction.“We moved it back a little from the sidewalk so that people could view it better,” said Ronci.But moving the store wasn’t ne- m\ré

the people?Like me, you may get a feeling from the letters on this page that D’Iberville Fortier may have hit the nail on the head.You might recall the official language commissioner’s comments last week that the salvation of French in Quebec should not mean “humbling” English or any other language Since then, the Liberal government has put a muzzle on Fortier.One can only hope that Thursday’s appointment of Guy Rivard as minister responsible for Bill 101 will mean positive changes for English-speaking Quebecers.Rivard is a soft-spoken party backbencher.He says he wants to ease linguistic tensions in the province but any action he takes could hinge on a Supreme Court of Canada ruling on the legality of the controversial language bill.There is only one way to ease linguistic tensions in the province : to quit humbling the English.In the past, the Liberal government has tried repeatedly to stamp out English by such measures as amendments to the Quebec Cinema Act and the sign issue These are specific actions that have humiliated the English to no end.For example, it only takes one complaint for the language cops to order an anglophone institution to change its signs.To add insult to ‘humiliation’, legislation like the amendments to the Cinema Act limits the number of English movies available in the province.It also conveniently reduces the cultural options for anglophones.Despite all this, the English are here to stay.This is our home too.That’s what Lise Bacon, the minister formerly in charge of Bill 101, failed to recognize about the English.While anglophones may be a minority in this province, they deserve some consideration.Hopefully Mr.Rivard will notice this.Generally the English have no problem with French being the language of business in this province or with it being the main language on signs.But we do have a problem with not being recognized at all.Mr.Bourassa hasn’t come through on his election promise to allow bilingual signs.Now the premier says he knows what action he will take when the Supreme Court makes its decision.But he’s going to wait until that ruling comes.Mr.Rivard, despite whatever the premier decides, must make a stand which represents what the majority of Quebecers — French and English, feel.If Mr.Rivard saw a recent CFCF-TV poll then he’d know the majority of French and English Quebecers want bilingual signs.And if the Liberals are a government of the people, then they will do something for the people.MELANIE GRUER Letters May be the final humiliation for us all Collecting garbage no job: It's an adventure CAMBRIDGE, Ont.(CP) — If your kid would rather be an astronaut than a garbage man, he’s probably never met Jim Charles.To Charles, who hails from Puslinch Township in southern Ontario, collecting garbage is not so much a job as an adventure.“I love being my own boss, and the excitement of wondering every morning when I get up what valuable stuff I might find (that) somebody has thrown away today.” For Charles, one man’s junk is another man’s fortune.“You wouldn’t believe the things I’ve found in the past couple of years,” says Charles, his blue-grey eyes sparkling with enthusiasm.In his 40 years, Charles has been a farmer, a steeplejack, a retail store clerk, a carpenter, a mechanic, a trucker, a welder and a shipper for a bread company.But none of these jobs gave him half the personal satisfaction that he gets from running his own business, which he calls The Junk Man.In a little less than two years his infatuation with junk has transformed his life.In his basement storage room he points out some of his latest finds.There's a television set, a soft drink cooler, a clock, camp stove, dining room chairs, floor polisher, oil paintings.a woman’s fur coat and dozens of other items.Larger items like industrial tools, lathes and grinders he keeps in his barn.All of it was discarded as garbage and all of it is destined for the market.FINDS TEETH Probably the most remarkable item salvaged was a set of false teeth with pure gold components, which he was able to sell for $55.A recent clean-up job yielded a cellular telephone in nearly new condition.It sold for $400.His career as a junk man began when a neighbor who picked up garbage and debris for a few households asked Charles to take over the route.There were only 12 customers altogether,” he recalls.“And at $1 a week from each, he wasn’t getting rich very fast.” Since Charles took over the route, it has expanded to a business with 400 regular customers in Puslinch and neighboring North Dumfries townships.As well, he performed about 800 household and industrial cleanup jobs last year.But being a junk man is no prescription for getting rich quick, Charles says.“In fact if you were to figure my wages by the hour it’s probably not that great,” he says, adding that he works seven days a week and hasn't had a vacation in two years.But, besides the excitement of daily discovery, Charles says there’s a social attraction.“You meet a lot of super people.” An open letter to Pierre Paradis MNA Brome Missisquoi Dear Mr.Paradis, I think most of Quebec would agree, that for many years, the majority of French-speaking people in this province have, at some time, felt they were somehow a second place nationality.Anglo-Saxon attitudes, obviously aided and abetted such notions right up through the Duplessis era.I know the story well right up to the moment Duplessis died in my uncle’s arms in Seven Islands.Many things changed after that, but today in the post Lesage, and Lévesque era, after celebrating many cultural, economic, and social achievements, the French nation, now under Liberal political leadership, is once again starting to behave as if it is not quite good enough to survive comparison with other cultures.Soon we are told, we will be sent to jail if we continue to use bilingual signs.It is not the English or the other cultures in Quebec that should feel humiliation over such legislation.En- glish children have all been able to attend French schools, (mine are all fluently bilingual) and I do not want to apologize to anyone for my ‘ ethnic background”, my color, my religion, or my language.In fact I am happy about all these circumstances and I still have a deep attachment to Quebec.I am not French and I still can respect the French majority, but only to the extent that they respect themselves.I cannot believe therefore, that it is the duty of just 21 MNAs from English ridings to protect minority rights.VOCU WAITING FOR NESS IE LAKE: OKANAGAN- WAlTINd FÛR 0G0P060 miCW LAKE.,.M II WAITING FOK MCKENNA He doesn’t like being blackmailed with Open Letter to Premier Bourassa: There can be absolutely no doubt that there was a great deal of substance in the recent statement of Commissioner D’Iberville Fortier about “humbling the competition”.He accurately reflected the feelings of a great number of English-speaking Quebecers although you obviously didn’t like his choice of words.We have watched unhappily the increasing restriction of English rights in Quebec at the same time that French rights were being expanded in ‘social peace’ other parts of Canada.For years we have waited for someone who would speak up in public about our worries, our problems, and our fears.Finally D’Iberville Fortier, whose job it is to stand up for minorities all across Canada, spoke out.The real humiliation came when 21 anglophone members stood in the National Assembly to censure D’Iberville Fortier — short term pain for long term gain?This is the mentality of a little boy who punches himself in the face to show a bully that he is really on his side and in the hope that the We need organization An open letter to Heather Keith-Ryan The Townshippers Association Sherbrooke Dear Madam, It is a disappointment to find the Townshippers president not fully and wholeheartedly supporting Mr.Fortier, who is the federal language commissioner and making a statement on our behalf.It is my belief that much of the English position in Quebec has, in the past, been eroded by mild and fainthearted representation.The Townshippers should be individually writing the federal MPs praising Mr.Fortier’s statement.We should also be contacting our numerous relatives and friends in other provinces for their support with their MPs.WE HAVE THE MEANS TO MAKE OURSELVES HEARD.We need organization.There are other tactics available to us.Sincerely LAWRENCE PURDY Waterloo Hopeless plight of anglophones Dear Sir/Madam: For the first time since creation of the federal office Canadians have a Commissioner of Languages with the necessary intelligence to identify and analyse linguistic conditions.Commissioner Fortier’s language report pinpoints the Quebec anglo-phone’s agony accurately with the explicit term “humiliation.” Unexpectedly, Mr.Fortier’s report blew the cover of the Quebec Liberal government who pretend to support reasonable political conduct towards anglophones.Now it stands naked, defensive and void of any inclination towards respectful language rights for its own citizens.The contempt of Quebec’s politicians for valid criticism and their hostile vote of censure clearly demonstrates the hopeless plight of Quebec anglophones hoping for integrity and statesmanship.R.K.LADD Cowansville bully won’t hit him even harder.It doesn’t work.I know that you feel that French is threatened in the North American context and I’m very sympathetic but can’t you see that we feel threatened too?Ever since the 1860s the English-speaking community in the Eastern Townships has been on the wane until now we represent less than 10 per cent of the population and an aging population at that.Do we really pose a threat?Of course not.When I travel to the east, I notice that New Brunswick has bilingual signs throughout the province.When I go west, I find bilingual signs up the Ottawa Valley and all across northern Ontario.Both provinces issue bilingual drivers’ licences.Please understand that I’m not asking you to turn back the clock but I did and do expect you to keep your election promise of bilingual signs.I have a friend who has been a lifelong supporter of the Liberal party both provincially and federally.He is very unhappy about recent initiatives by your government : revoking the bi-lingual status of certain towns, amendments to the Cinema Act restricting the showing of English language films, the proposal to extend Bill 101 to thousands of small firms, etc.He doesn’t like being blackmailed with “social peace”.He says that you’re a wolf in sheep’s clothing whose fangs are showing more all the time.My friend says that he can’t vote PQ and he won’t vote Liberal.He plans to destroy his ballot in the next election.Is he over-reacting just as you over reacted to D’Iberville Fortier’s statement?Only time will tell.Hopefully, in the end, the majority of Quebecers, whatever their mother tongue, will prove to be generous and tolerant.IAN R.SMITH Danville Glad not everyone has forgotten rights of English Quebecers Did you know that.MAKING PI The number pi has been calculated to more than 29 million decimal places.BEAR WEIGHT The average male bear in Alaska weighs about 113 kilograms.LIGHTENING STRIKES Men are struck by lightening five times as often as women.Dear Editor: Being a native English Quebecer, I was very moved by the statements made by the federal Official Languages Commissioner concerning the problems of English-speaking Quebecers.I have great respect for the French language and the French Canadian culture, but I have great resentment towards the methods being used to ensure their preservation.I have long felt that the best way to retain a language or heritage is through pride and love for it, not by legislation aimed at suppressing another culture.The existence of laws to ensure the prominence of the French language in business and on signs is understandable, and most English Quebecers would not disagree with this principle as long as the right to use their own language was not threatened.I believe however, laws that go so far as to make the use of another language illegal infringe too much on the rights of others.A great number of English-speaking citizens of Quebec are here because of their roots and heritage.Many regions of Quebec were settled by anglophones.We cleared the land, broke the soil, raised our families and created communities.Quebec is a part of us, and we are a part of Quebec.If we can not post a sign that has our own mother tongue on it on our own property, this indeed is mot humbling, if not indeed humiliating.We do not want to take away the French heritage from Quebec or turn Quebec English.We do not feel that we are threatening the survival of the French culture, and yet we are made to feel like criminals for using our own language.Mr.Fortier’s statement was the best thing I have heard from Ottawa in a long time and I am glad not everyone has forgotten about the rights of English Quebecers.I believe that the time has come for French culture to be promoted in a more positive way.More time and effort should be spent on promoting the beauty and uniqueness of the French Canadian culture, not in an effort to restrict the use of other languages.I hope to live all my life in this beautiful province and co-exist in freedom amid a continuing and vibrant French Canadian culture.DAVID M.TAYLOR Lennoxville History alone should be enough to teach us all that ruling majorities, from as far back as Roman times, always go on to enjoy (or suffer) the same fate as they have imposed on their own minorities.To use the NOTWITHSTANDING clause to remove minority rights may be the final humiliation for us all.Great nations are built on self respect, a positive culture, and a productive economy.The Liberals need to pay attention to more than just the latter.The denial of Quebec’s basic freedom to be bilingual does not do justice to the silent majority of our province.The penchant that some Québécois still have for the subjection of other cultures, or the separation from other states (like Ontario) really has little to do with the stated goal of sovereignty.Today the Common Market, and now free trade with the U.S., clearly demonstrate such links are not relevant to sovereignty.But once again, history does show that the key to long term self rule, whether it be in a person, a family, or a nation, is found in self respect.The time appears to be drawing near in the affairs of this great province that will have you choose between the short term political option of “peace in our time” and taking the first step as an important member of the French-speaking majority to stand up and declare that you feel good about being a French Canadian, that you like being Québécois and feel no need to obliterate all other minorities from influencing your homeland.If you don’t, who will?L.BRIANS TIMMINS Brome Lake Editor's Note: Who said ‘we will be sent to jail’ for bilingual signs?__çg Humiliation was the right word An open letter to: Mr.Robert Bourassa, Premier of Quebec Dear Mr.Bourassa, The events this week have colored you and your party black with absolute silliness.The statement from Mr D’Iberville Fortier about the English in this province being humiliated by their government is as true as any French Canadian has ever spoken.Ever.You and your party have condemned this statement as being far from the truth.Well Mr.Bourassa, here is one Canadian who has had to put up with your bull and insults since I was born in this province.René Lévesque insulted the English everytime he stood up in the house or in front of the media, then laughed at the English in the back rooms, with his party supporters and the likes of Laurin, Godin and Parizeau.You have chosen to laugh at the truth yourself by your actions this week to denounce what Mr.Fortier said.The longer I live on this Earth, the longer I am convinced that a politician becomes something from another planet, after he is elected to power by the people.He really doesn’t care who or what he hurts.My dictionary describes a politician as one who is crafty and unscrupulous.He makes decisions so far removed from the actual problem that he ends up having to skate like hell to stay ahead of his stupid and silly mistakes.I know it’s hard for you to understand what I’m getting at, because I’m only one little part of society and you are my politician who is supposed to lead me forward to the future.And boy what a future I have in Quebec under your direction and ideals.Especially after this week of your silliness.What the English need in this province is someone in Quebec who understands who they are and what they stand for.The vote this week proves that everyone in the house is off their rocker and that the English are alone in Quebec.But don’t count us out just yet.Our roots are too deep in this province to be misunderstood as easily as we were this week! Humiliation was the right word.It was used in the right context.It explains exactly how the Quebec government has treated its English native sons and daughters for years and years.Your sidestepping of the sign issue is very clear to all English in the province.You have no intention of allowing English signs in Quebec, so why don’t you say so.Notwithstanding this or notwithstanding that, we all know what you are, but we are not too sure what planet your from?Have a nice day Robert, and good luck in the next election! GORDON A.CAMERON, Fulford The RECORD—Friday, April I.1988—5 History 1____tel ifccora Globe-trotting journalist covered South Africa's Boer War Life and loves of Florence Randal, Compton’s pioneer feminist From the lush farming community of Compton to hot and dusty concentration camps in the Transvaal is a long, unlikely journey — particularly for a lovely young woman — but Florence Hamilton Randal made it.She was also a teacher, journalist, poet, author, translator from Ukranian, and the mother of Dorothy Livesay.Florence was bom in Compton on November 2,1874, the daughter of Stephen Randal, local merchant and estate agent, and Mary Louisa Andrews.She had both brothers and sisters but the family remained prosperous enough to send her to Compton Ladies College (later King’s Hall, now Domaine St.Laurent) at a time when few women were educated beyond the rudiments.After graduation in 1894, she worked in New York City, became a governess and teacher in Montreal and Buckingham, Quebec, and began freelancing poems and short stories to Canadian magazines.In 1897, she was hired by the Ottawa Journal as that paper’s first ‘Society editor’.The 1890s were a time when women in Canada were breaking old chains and new ground.As early as 1879, Agnes Machar had hailed the ‘New Woman’ in an article in Rose-Belford’s Canadian Monthly.“She has a right to share in the world’s work, "she wrote.“Thereis little doubt that in the long run, women will find themselves permitted to do whatever they should prove themselves able to do well.” OTTAWA In Ottawa, strong-willed women abounded.Lady Aberdeen had virtually taken over the governor-generalcy from her husband, advised ministers, attended Parliament, organized the Victorian Order of Nurses (over rigorous opposition from the medical profession) and the National Council of Women.Agnes Macdonald managed Sir John in his la ter years and É mi-lie Lavergne, wife of Laurier’s old law partner in the Eastern Townships, followed Sir Wilfrid to Ottawa to tell him how to behave.Recognizing this new vigor and hoping to increase circulation, newspapers began women’s sections and opened journalistic ranks to women writers.Kit Coleman blazed the trial by starting Canada’s first women’s page for The Globe in 1889 and was so popular she went on to cover the Spanish-American War and the sensational trial of Harry Thaw.‘The man who stands in the path of the New Woman,” she wrote, “can be compared to an idiot attempting to force back a tidal wave with a cricket bat.” Saturday Night employed a Toronto society columnist called ‘Lady Gay ’ and another for Ottawa named ‘Amaryllis’.The Ottawa Free Press had ‘The Marchioness’ and the Daily Citizen had Frills’.When Florence joined the Journal with a column called ‘The Social Round’, she named herself ‘Kilmeny’.TRANSVAAL But Florence was ambitious.Society news, freelance assignments and occasional book reports were not enough and a certain ‘J.R.L.’ was pressuring her into marrying him.She was 27 in 1902 when the Canadian government advertised for teachers to work in South Africa and she jumped at the chance to write of things other than ball gowns and table settings — and perhaps to escape domestication with J.R.L.Florence was in London by May, invited to tea at Kensington Palace by the Marquis of Lome and Princess Louise.The voyage to Capetown was marvelous.The piano was taken up on deck at night and there was dancing under tropical stars with a Third Officer "who writes poetry and yet knows very little about girls, a delightful companion, since he was willing to leam.” By mid-June she and another Canadian teacher had made a thousand-mile journey by train across an arid land, “the dry bones of the continent showing through”, to work at Camp Middleburgh in the Transvaal.The Boer War, the first foreign war Canada had been persuaded to join, had begun in jingoistic glory and quickly deteriorated into a particularly nasty Imperial adventure.The enemy, defeated by overwhelming force whenever it stood and fought conventional battles, took to the hills in a guerrilla war that threatened to drag on forever.In desperation, Britain adopted a ‘scorched earth’ policy and invented 'concentration camps’ for interning the civilian population behind barbed wire and destroying guerrilla support in the countryside.By the time Florence arrived, there were about 50 such camps with 120,000 inmates — almost half the entire population.Life in these camps, Florence said, was “monotonous, with rows of tents and ugly buildings of corrugated iron”, but it had been far worse than that.Disease and neglect by the authorities had caused the death of one in every five priso- Bernard Epps « ¦ w i ¦ t;- ners by that February, most of

1st, news came of the signing of a peace treaty and the boers began straggling into the Middleburgh camp soon after Florence arrived there.She wrote in the Journal; “As we neared the confines, we noted that the wire fences were lined with kapjes’, or sunbonnets, ruffled pink, white and rusty black of long-worn mourning.This was a great day for Boer womenkind, for a ‘command’ was even then sighted coming down the road, husband, brother and son coming back after the weary months of hill fighting.“None were allowed within the camp that day, but wildly joyful were the greetings over the open-meshed boundary.‘These,’ said one young girl proudly, ‘are the knights of the Transvaal.’.“The young girls were tricked out in their gayest — but they grew shy when bearded men who had been slips of boys a while gone came up for their welcome.and some of the little hand of fighters broke down utterly when they found no mother, wife or sweetheart to thrill and gladden at their coming.“There was one boy of thirteen who was sadly in need of the clothing at once supplied by the British government.He said he had been living for months on mealies; that long before, he would have surrendered had not the veldt comet threatened to shoot all who turned their horse’s heads in the direction of any English garrison.” SCHOOL School was set up in tents.“The hours are from nine till a quarter past one,” Florence reported, “with a short intermission when the teachers take tiffin in the mess tent.” She found herself sympathizing with the Boer cause and pleased with her pupils.“I have allowed my affections to be captured.I had visions of uncleanly little wretches.As to the reality, Piet’s clothes are patched but not ragged.From half-wild colts who have never gone to school the children have become respectful and most eager to learn.Their knowledge of English is wonderfully good.” After school hours, there was plenty of time for flirting with garrison gallants and Florence wrote of “the loveliest dance I have ever been to” put on by the Bachelor Officers.“They knew how to make us enjoy ourselves.We stayed til nearly three and I had every dance.” There were midnight picnics out on the veldt; "South African moonlight is a true gift of the gods.We drove out, after an hour and a half the valley was reached, and there at twelve o'clock the campfire was lighted, the coffee made and stirred with a burnt stick, and the alfresco table laid.Afterwards came cigar smoke, and songs and repartee Then home in the dawning hours and rubbing of sleepy eyes in the school tent.” Florence visited Pretoria where she met Colonel Sam Steele — flamboyant superintendant of the North West Mounted Police, commander of Strathcona's Horse and now with the South African Constabulary.He took her on a tour of Paul Kruger's house and she went down a gold mine "although I did not enjoy it.” She visited Johannesburg.Tn some ways it reminded me of Ottawa " ROMANCE Of the trackless veldt', she wrote ; “Large-eyed, short-stemmed marguerites are scattered over it, and all other manner of foreign blooms in purple and yellow.No one can tell you the names of the flowers, everything being blomen' with the exception of 'heuningbloi-sel’ whose breath is all of honey." There were rides to visit battle sites and the graves of Canadian boys — always in company with Imperial officers such as Captain Van Campau.“He asked me to kiss him.” she confided to her diary, “on a few hours acquaintance, but I am still hopelessly Canadian enough to prefer to know a little more about the man.” Mr.Thomas Wakeford even went so far as to propose marriage ; “Strange to say he really seems in earnest, he wants me for his wife.It is queer to think a man would propose out here to a girl of whom he knows absolutely nothing as to family and real character.“I said.‘It’s no use, Mr.Wake-ford.’ ‘No use,’ he repeated, and then he sat very still in the shadows with his hand up to his mouth for so long that I grew nervous and had to make some trivial remark.” WINNIPEG With peace restored, the concentration camps were disbanded, the inmates returned to their farms and Florence sailed back to Canada in 1903 — but not to her old job on the Ottawa Journal.Two of her brothers had moved out to booming Winnipeg and she followed them in search of more satisfying work.She became editor of the Winnipeg Telegram’s women’s page and wrote a column for the Free Press where she explored fewer fashionable frivolities and more hard issues — women’s suffrage, women in the professions, etc.Still unmarried at the age of 31, she met an English immigrant journalist named John Frederick Bligh Livesay, manager of Winnipeg’s Associated Press news service.He was a few months younger than she, a bit of a radical, a leftist and an agnostic, but he had a brilliant mind and, after a two year courtship, Florence gave in and they were married.DOROTHY Dorothy was born in 1909, Sophia three years later and then a boy who did not survive long.When Dorothy was 12, Florence submitted one of her poems to the Vancouver Province and the little girl was so delighted to receive $2 and see her work in print, that she was well launched on her own career as poet and feminist.She twice won the Governor-General’s award and became one of Canada’s finest poets.Florence’s marriage was not particularly happy because she was far too interested in writing to be much of a home-maker.“She didn't shine socially.” Dorothy recalled.“and she didn't entertai-n.It was evident that my father was jealous of her interests from the beginning.” Dorothy had fonder memories of her widowed grandmother.Mary Louisa Andrews, "thin and spry, and no higher than those girls in grade six”; "After the pudding there would be a lump of maple sugar to suck.For Granny had followed her grown-up children west from the Eastern Townships — that golden country Aunt Maudie talked about, where arbutus hid in the spring woods and boys and men came with pails to the maple grove, for the sugaring off." In a collection of autobiographical stories, Beginnings: A Winnipeg Childhood.Dorothy Livesay wrote : “Mother was always busy in the dining-room at her typewriter, with sheafs of green foolscap brought home from the newspaper office, and piles of scribbled notes wandering this way and that across a page.Or she was writing down songs the last Ukranian servant-girl had sung her; or talking to a Ukranian minister who came to explain to mother the strangely shaped words.” Songs of Ukraina, translated from the language Florence painstakingly taught herself in Winnipeg, was published in 1914 to extravagant praise: “Her work in Songs of Ukraina’,” wrote John D.Logan, "like that of Fitzgerald, has a turning of phrase and of imagery and a grace and music which are all her own and entitle the Songs to the distinction of creative verse.” In 1923, Florence brought out a volume of her own poems under the title Shepherd’s Purse.“Of her genuine lyric feeling,” said the Montreal Star, “there can be no doubt ; she can create melody and set a picture in its frame with the skill of a true artist.” Sa vour of Salt, a collection of stories about Irish immigrants in Ontario, was published in 1927 and another translation from the Ukranian, Marusia, in 1940.When her husband died, she edited a memoir, The Making of a Canadian: J.F.B.Livesay in 1947, and she continued freelancing articles to newspapers and magazines.Her last article, in fact, appeared in Saturday Night in May of 1950 when she was 75.She died in Toronto in 1953.Florence Randal Florence Randal in Winnipeg shortly before she

investor confidence in the economy.The Toronto Stock Exchange’s composite 300 index climbed 11.17 points to close at 3,313.79 on Thursday, up 33 points from last Friday.Markets are closed today because of the holiday.In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average advanced 9.94 to 1,988.06 for a weekly gain of 9.11 points.Analysts said caution heading into the Easter and Passover holidays dominated the New York market.The TSE rebounded Tuesday and Wednesday after losing almost 90 points in the previous three sessions.Heavy trading in Laidlaw Transportation and Polysar, which are the subject of possible takeovers, helped spur the Toronto market in the last two days.Michael DeGroote, Laidlaw’s chairman, put his controlling interest in the company on the auction block.And there is speculation on Bay improved standing Street that Polysar’s board will seek a better price for control of the company than what Calgary-based Nova Corp.offered earlier in the week.John Ing, a Toronto-based analyst, said there is growing confidence among investors as they hear more encouraging reports about the health of the U.S.and Canadian economies.Eleven of 14 industry groups in Toronto were up Thursday with transportation soaring 3.56 per cent.Other winners included golds, up 1.05 percent and metals and minerals, increasing 0.56 per cent.Pipelines was the major loser, falling 1.04 per cent.ADVANCERS LEAD Advancers led decliners 474 to 337 with 381 unchanged on a vo-lume of 27,312,252 worth $335,827,597.Transportation jumped 18.36 per cent for the four-day week, the biggest weekly jump for the group since the exchange started keeping statistics in 1971.Pipelines increased 5.06 per cent and oil and gas advanced 3.13 per cent Supermarkets offer to buy Steinberg By Dennis Bueckert MONTREAL (CP) — The province’s two largest grocery chains announced Wednesday they have made a joint bid for most of Steinberg Inc.’s supermarkets in Quebec.Epiciers Unis Metro-Richelieu and Provigo Inc.announced the offer in a joint news release, but did not reveal the price or other details, noting that the bids are subject to a confidentiality agreement.“Until we receive a response from Steinberg, we have to respect the confidentiality agreement,’’ Provigo official Kathy Megyery said in an interview.Steinberg official Claude Durand confirmed that the bid had been received, but also declined to give details.The deadline for bids on the Steinberg supermarket chain closed at 6 p.m.Wednesday, and Durand said a “significant” number of offers were made, but would not name the other bidders.PROMISE BENEFIT Metro-Richelieu president Pierre Lortie and Metro-Richelieu president Jacques Maltais said in a statement that their joint offer would be beneficial because it would keep ownership of the Steinberg stores in Quebec.That would guarantee Quebec producers and manufacturers access to major distribution networks, they said.If their offer is accepted, they will sell the supermarkets purchased from Steinberg to retailers affiliated with their respective networks, they said.Several weeks ago Maltais described the dismantling of the Steinberg food empire as “the event of the century” in the Canadian food business.He said then that there would be no major problem of reduced competition if Steinberg were absorbed by other Quebec grocery chains.“It would not be a lot different than the situation in other regions of Canada where there are three major players (in the grocery business),” he said.Besides Steinberg, Provigo and Metro-Richelieu, the IGA chain has a significant share of the Quebec market.CONCEDES RISK But Maltais conceded that either his group or Provigo could face problems with federal competition laws if they took over the entire Steinberg network singlehanded Durand said the Steinberg board of directors will begin studying bids at its next meeting on April 8.She said there is no deadline for a decision on the sale, which was precipitated by a bitter family feud among the three sisters who control most of the company's voting shares.The Steinberg assets on the block include : — One hundred and twelve supermarkets under the Steinberg banner in Quebec and the Ottawa Valley, two Steinberg Plus stores which include both drug products and groceries, and three Marche du Jour extra-large supermarkets.__Fifty-one supermarkets under the Miracle Food Mart banner in Ontario, and 10 Miracle Ultramart dual food-drug stores.— Two warehouse food stores, one under the Jadis name in Quebec, and one under the Basics name in Ontario.— About 75 La Maisonnée franchised convenience stores in Quebec — Three Cinq Saison upscale food stores in Montreal.—Trillium meat-processing operations in Toronto.— Some wholesaling

kind of hockey tape DETROIT (AP) — It took 52 years before Gordie Howe could retire as a player, but even as the Detroit Red Wings legend turned 60, he couldn’t put hockey completely behind him Howe celebrated his 60th birthday Thursday.Although he might not be able to keep up with younger players on the ice anymore, he still has more than enough energy to tour the country promoting his new hockey instructional tape.Two stops at Detroit video stores showed how popular Howe remains in this city where he spent most of his professional career.Hundreds of fans turned out in Livonia and Dearborn to greet hime and birthday cakes awaited him at both sites.Howe works in the public relations department of the Hartford Whalers He lives in Glastonbury, Conn., but maintains a summer home in Traverse City.He played professional hockey for 32 seasons, 25 of those in Detroit, starting in 1946-47 and ending in 1970-71.He took two years off and came back to play four seasons with his sons, Marty and Mark, for Houston in the World Hockey Association.Then it was on to New England for two more seasons in the WHA before returning to the National Hockey League for a season with the Hartford Whalers in 1979-80.RECOVERS FAST His son, Mark, an outstanding defenceman with the Philadelphia Flyers, said of their days in Hous- ton: “I felt sorry for him at first trying to come back after a two-year absence.But it was only a matter of weeks when I couldn’t stay up with him.” Howe finally retired at age 52 after setting more records than any player in hockey history.In his 26 NHL seasons, he played 1,767 games, tallying 801 goals and 1,049 assists for 1,850 points.He also played 419 games in the WHA, with 174 goals and 344 assists for 508 points.He was as tough as they came on the ice, but off the ice he is gracious and gentle.When the Edmonton Oilers’ Wayne Gretzky recently broke Howe’s NHL assist record, nobody was more pleased than Howe.As team officials were giving their star centre a gold clock — a memento of the achievement — the public-address system at Northlands Coliseum broadcast a recorded message from Howe to Gretzky : “Hello, Wayne.This is Gordie Howe I’m sorry I couldn’t be there tonight, but I'm awfully happy for you.It is my pleasure to join with your fans at home to congratulate you on such a wonderful feat.“Thank you for allowing me to carry the record for a while.No one on Earth I’d rather see break the record than yourself.” Gretzky, in turn, has nothing but praise for Howe “You know I’ve admired this man my whole life,” Gretzky said.“He has been my idol and I don’t care who knows it.” Bring on the Whalers, Habs clinch division BOSTON (AP) — Kjell Dahlin tipped in Larry Robinson’s shot at 11:17 of the third period Thursday night, sending the Montreal Canadiens to a 3-1 victory over the Boston Bruins that clinched first place in the Adams Division.The Canadiens have 100 points to the Bruins’ 92 with only two games left for each team.Montreal will meet fourth-place Hartford and Boston will play third-place Buffalo in the first round of the NHL playoffs, starting Wednesday.After a scoreless first period, Claude Lemieux lifted Bob Smith’s pass over goalie Reggie Lemelin’s shoulder to give the Canadiens a 1-0 lead at 3:35 of the second period.Bob Joyce tied it for Boston with a power-play goal 8:20 into the third period, putting a rebound of Gord Kluzak’s shot past goalie Patrick Roy.Dahlin then deflected Robinson’s shot from the point for the winning goal and Guy Carbonneau rounded out the scoring with an empty-net goal with 58 seconds remaining.Joyce’s goal was the only power-play score of the game in 12 chances by the two teams.Roy faced 28 Boston shots in the Montreal net, while the Canadiens had 30 shots on Lemelin.Frycer returns to the Leafs after brief absence By Alan Adams TORONTO (CP) — Miroslav Frycer returned to the Maple Leafs on Thursday, a day after skipping a morning workout without explanation.“It’s nothing between me and the club, and it’s nothing with John (Brophy) or anything else,” said Frycer following an hour-long skate at Maple Leaf Gardens.“It’s just a personal problem, and that’s all.I have to figure it out over the summer and we’ll see what happens.“I don’t want to quit or anything like that, especially now before the playoffs start.” Frycer’s unexpected absence set off alarm bells in a Leaf dressing room still shaken over the sudden retirement of Dave Semenko last week.Until the 28-year-old right winger showed up at practice Thursday morning, the Leafs weren’t certain whether Frycer would be available for a crucial home-and-home series against the Red Wings, which starts tonight in Detroit.The Maple Leafs, who have lost loto-québec Draw Wednesday,

Calgary.“He never called, he just showed up this morning and talked to (coach) Brophy,” said Gord Stel-lick, one member of the triumvirate managing the team.“Frycer will be docked a day’s pay.” Frycer, who has two years left on his contract that pays him almost $200,000 US annually, earns approximately $1,000 a day.Brophy was puzzled by Frycer’s sudden disappearance, saying he tried all day and night to reach him but couldn’t.“Obviously there is something more to it than missing the practice,” Brophy said.Brophy has had differences with his Czechoslovak forward, but the lightning-tongued coach kept an unusually cool head when discussing the latest problem.“He’s got some things he has to straighten out in his personal life, and making him miss these games LISTEN & WIN Be the 9th caller

Pollution wreaking havoc on wildlife Great outdoors Certain points in the Liberal government’s inaugural address for their second legislative session will retain the attention of ecologists and environmentalists as well as fishermen, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts — definitely a part of the aforementioned groups.The government announced it will adopt measures against pollution and take concrete steps in the areas of waste management, acid rain, contaminated soils, ecological reserves, threatened species and cleaning up of the province’s waterways.These announcements bear witness to the government’s intention to attack these crucial problems.The more time goes by, the more the situation becomes worrisome.Pollution never ceases to make headlines in our papers.Who would have thought years ago that the livers of deer and moose would be contaminated by something in their daily diet?Who would have believed that native people living in Northern Quebec would have their health altered by consuming their basic diet of fish and game meats?That is however, what is happening and unfortunately solutions to these problems are not on the minds of some iminent scientist.It starts with the raising of individual consciousness.The next step is gaining the political will to do something about it.FISHING TRIPS Have you planned your fishing trips for this summer?If not, now is the time to start thinking about it.especially if you plan on going to a reputable outfitter during the high season and don’t want to be disappointed.It’s never too early to make your choice of where the best spots to catch your favorite fish are, and to get your reservations made.To make your choice easier the Quebec Outfitters Association, in collaboration with the Provincial fish and game minstry, have just published the Outfitters Directory for 1988-1989.The booklet contains a wealth of information on the 552 outfitters outlets throughout the province.In here you will find all the information on where the outfitters are, how to get there, what wildlife the areas offers, the activities and services provided by the various outfitters as wrell as telephone numbers and addresses to make your By REAL HEBERT reservations.The guide is distributed free in all fish and game ministry offices as well as in tourism offices and at Communication Québec outlets.You can also obtain an English copy of the directory by writing to the following address: Direction des Communications, Ministère de Loisir, de la Chasse et de la Pêche, P O.Box 22000, Quebec, Quebec, G1K7Z2.If you plan on visting government controlled reserves, ZECs (Zones d’Exploitation Contrôlées) the government has also published a guide with an alphabetical list of these.The guide contains a listing of ZECs by region with information on conservation of fauna and regulations, the activités offered and prices at the various ZECs as well as topographical maps of the ZECs.You will also find in it a directory of Salmon fishing and wildfowl reserves.It is available in English at the above mentionned address.SALMON FISHING The provincial fish and game ministry has announced to fishermen that now is the time to make your reservaions for daily salmon fishing in the Gaspé area.In order to make your reservation call 1-800-462-5349.A maximum of two rods is permitted per fisherman for one through three days.Expos win again, but 4 players are shipped out WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.(CP) — Hubie Brooks belted a two-run triple to highlight a three-run third inning that boosted the Montreal Expos to a 4-2 exhibiton baseball victory over the New York Mets on Thursday.Brooks lifted his Grapefruit League average to .283 — 15-for-53 — and batted in his ninth and 10th runs after Tim Raines and Mitch Webster had reached base with singles.Tim Wallach brought in Brooks with a single to stake starting pitcher Bryn Smith to a three-run lead.Smith, being brought along slowly because of a sore forearm earlier in camp, yielded only one run in 4 2-3 innings.He was charged with Howard Johnson’s fifthinning run, scored on Mookie Wilson’s sacrifice fly.The Expos moved ahead 4-1 in their half of the inning, when Raines scored as Brooks grounded Tonight 7:30 P-JJ1-SHERBROOKE vs MAINE Qiindsv 4:00 P-m> SHERBROOKE vs NEW MARKET PALAIS DES SPORTS CANADIENS DE SHERBROOKE For reservations 819-821-5850 MOLSON (m) into a double play.MONTREAL (CP) — Three pitchers — Bob Sebra, Joe Hesketh and Rich Sauveur—joined catcher Nelson Santovenia in returning to the Montreal Expos’ minor league camp Thursday, as the National League baseball team made its final spring-training roster cuts.Sebra and Hesketh, who were optioned to Indianapolis, the Expos’ Class AAA affiliate, both spent time on the Montreal roster last season.Sebra, a starter, had a 6-15 record and a 4.42 earned-run average, while Hesketh, returning from a shoulder injury in the final two months, made 18 appearances, earning one save and posting a 3.14 ERA.But Sebra could not squeeze into the crowded pitching staff this spring, especially after Bryn Smith, whose status was uncertain because of a sore forearm, indicated he was healthy with a strong effort in a tuneup against the New York Mets on Thursday.Hesketh, meanwhile, was behind the other pitchers because of a tender arm that bothered him early in camp.The Expos sent him to the minors so that he can get more work.Sauveur, sent outright to Indian-polis, was obtained from the Pittsburgh Pirates in the major league draft at the winter meetings last December.Under draft rules, if the Expos did not retain him on their major league roster this season, they would have to offer him back to the Pirates for one-half of the $50,000 draft price.But the two teams worked out an agreement whereby the Expos could keep Sauveur and ship him to the minors.TILD CAR RENTAL A MOVING TRUCKS WEEKEND SPECIALS CHRYSLER VEHICLES VAL ESTRIE 822-4141 1 i The RECORI>—Friday.April 1.19H8—15 Sports ___ UCCOXtl Time to make the fearless predictions: Here is a crystal ball’s view of this year’s baseball season I By Jack Branswell It is once again that time when local sports hacks try to predict who's going to win baseball’s four divisions.Now, one word of advise to those who expect any predictions they figure is the gospel truth: forget it.A quick survey of last year’s Record predictions proved that precious few came through.With five people predicting four division winners, that is 20 attempts, only three choices were right.No one who makes predictions is allowed the foresight of knowing which key players will suffer injuries.And that is only one of a myriad of factors that can wreak havoc with predictions.Somebody like a George Bell can decide he won’t play hard or a Floyd Youmans can have women signing affidavits about his conduct, or a Neil Heaton can come out of the blue and win 20 games.That said and done, here’s the combined effort of seven avid baseball fans.Scott Coates K900 sports caster NL EAST The Mets will win it, and it might not even be close.New York won 92 times in ’87 even with an unbelievable amount of injuries and bad breaks.There’s no way the tough breaks will repeat this year so the Mets will win more.Soüd pitching and hitting will overcome the internal fighting.Strawberry has a big mouth but also a big bat.The Expos and Cardinals will battle for second.Montreal’s starters will have an impressive year and that’s good because other than Tim Burke, who can be counted on, the rest of the bullpen won’t likely come through like it did last season.Look for a big year offensively from the “Big Cat”, Andres Galarraga.Tim Raines is not about to have an ‘off year even through he might be pondering the free-agent-collusion ruling.Tim Wallach probably won’t repeat last year’s clutch numbers but Hubie Brooks (if he can stay healthy) will compensate.Rivera and Candaele will start in the middle of the infield but expect to hear more from Tom Foley than either of those two.Everybody loves to rat on Expo catchers but something tells me Mike Fitzgerald’s determination and hard work will pay off with a respectable season.Lots of things went right last I year but that meant the ‘spos lear-; ned how to win.Not too many are ! picking them to finish first and I that’s good, pressure-wise.Howe-l ver, the team itself and the fans are > expecting a lot and that’s where ! the problem lies —• if Montreal I starts slowly.As long as the Expo ’ break fast, they’ll be near the top in September— probably in second.Even though the Cards have lost Jack Clark, they are still managed by a great baseball head, Mr.Red-Neck himself, Whitey Herzog.If the ‘spos can’t come through, it’ll be St.Louis in second.N.L.WEST San Francisco won it last season and will fight with Cincinnati for the ’88 title, but it will be the Reds’ year.Former Expo G.M.Murray Cook acquired lefty Danny Jackson from K.C.and Jackson along with Mario Soto, who appears to have bounced back from arm trouble (winning the opening day assignment), will improve a shady rotation.The Reds’ outfield, led by Eric Davis, will be a big contributing factor to Cincy’s championship season.A.L.EAST Picking a winner here is like a non-meteorologist trying to predict which weekday will be the sunniest — it could be any one of five! The Blue Jays are certainly due for a World Series win but they won’t make the playoffs so that’s out of the question.An unhappy George Bell and other disgruntled I Players, thanks to the departure of Willie Upshaw, will be reason | enough.I like Boston’s mixture of vete-|rans and youngsters.Reliever Lee Smith, acquired from the Cubs, will help the Sox to a second-place finish behind.the Yankees! Yes, Billy Martin will be a big shot-in-the-arm for New York, as will jRickey Henderson.Detroit, last year’s division win-Iners, and Milwaukee could chal-[lenge as well.A.L.WEST All indications point to Oakland so who am I to go out on a limb?The A’s will win it because of one of ie best pitching staffs along with lots of power in Mark McGwire, lose Canseco and Dave Parker The Twins and Rangers will ride the long ball — but not far enough It’ll be Texas in second, in front of the World Series Champs.The fall classic will be really classic with an all New York World Series.Although the Mets should take it all I’ll take the Yankees, only because I dislike them just a little bit less than the Mets.Of course anything can happen — that’s why an all-Canadian World Series is a possibility but not as likely as a Big Apple Series.Bob Halsall Local Little League coach and baseball sage NL East The Mets are solid throughout.Good pitching, great infield, cocky outfield.Dwight Gooden will win 25.The Expos lack what it takes to win in baseball: a good catcher That’s too bad.because down deep they’re my favorite.The Phillies finished tough in 87 and the Cards are due to begin the slide.NL West Candlestick Park has been mean lately to visiting teams.Boys like Will Clark, Bobby Thompson and Bob Brenly are going to put the giants out front early.It’s not super, but good pitching will keep the race close while Roger Craig shows superiority in managing.AL East Henderson, Mattingly, Steinben-ner : what a combination.A couple good free agent signings should keep them ahead of the pack.Too bad for Canada, but guys like George Bell and Jimmy Williams are not often associated with winners.All four top teams (Yankees, Blue Jays, Red Sox, Tigers) have good possibilities but the Yanks must be favored.George will make sure its their turn.AL West Usually the easiest way to pick the winner in the West is to pick a name out of a hat, but after the Twins ’87 campaign, look out for Kent Hrbek, Jeff Reardon and the boys.They believe they’re winners.It’s never easy to repeat but watch the Twins.Just an average group, no big shots, but average students are usually the best in the long haul.Merritt Clifton Record baseball columnist and author of Relative Baseball and Relative Baseball Two NL West Having picked the Giants to win the National League West last year, and the Astros the year before, each time over hoots of derision from almost everyone else who makes pennant picks for The Record, I’m on a roll.Leave my money on San Francisco again.Anyhow, they’re my favorites.As a Bay Area boy originally, I’ve been rooting for the Giants since Gaylord Perry was a rookie.That takes care of the automatic pick.If I’m wrong, remember, this column's appearing on April Fool's Day.NL East In the National League East, I’m among the minority who figure Bob Horner can pick up the lion’s share of Jack Clark’s slack in St.Louis.Sure, Horner’s reputedly a jerk; so was Clark in San Francisco.Horner has at least equal home run power.Like Clark he will accept a walk, and also like Clark, he is injury-prone.My bet is that if Horner stays healthy, the Cards can repeat.If he doesn’t, no one else has a lock on anythhtg.The Expos are going with a rookie double play combination, a reconstituted pitching staff that could either Shine or fall apart as it did two years ago, and have three regulars — Mike Fitzgerald, Hubie Brooks, and Andres Galarraga — who are coming off injuries.Give the Expos all the breaks and they’ll finish five games in front.Give them half the breaks and they’ll finish second.Give them a really bad break, like an injury to Tim Raines, and they’ll be lucky to make the first division.The Mets are always dangerous ; after their off-year in '87, there’s a common tendency to underrate them.The Phillies are also much better than they showed last year, and improved, after steahng swift Phil Bradley for sluggish Glenn Wilson.And I don’t count either the Cubs or Pirates out of it.AL East The much-heralded Yankees and underrated Red Sox and completely written-off Indians and Orioles all look about equal to me: much hitting, fair defence, dubious pitching.But the Bosox have Roger Clemens.Thus if any team emerges from the pack to challenge Detroit and Toronto, I expect it’ll be Boston.I’ll give the Red Sox my longshot nod.The Tigers won’t improve without Kirk Gibson and with Alan Trammell bound to decline.The Blue Jays have the best talent, but not the best attitudes or field management.The Brewers could provide big surprises if rookie Joey Meyer lives up to potential and their pitching holds up.but those ifs are too big for me.AL West I’ll pick Oakland, another sentimental favorite.But I like the Angels' balance, and the Twins apparently haven’t grown complacent over last year’s surprise World Championship.They could become the closest race of all.Terry Scott Candian Press sports writer and ex-Record sports editor NL East The Expos.Why not?They aren’t that distant from the Mets in talent and the intangible of clubhouse serenity could be the extra that pushes them over the top.NL West The Reds.You have to like a team that can throw three and possibly four left hand starters at you.If Danny Jackson enjoys the kind of success that transplanted AL lefties John Tudor and Bob Ojeda did in their first year, the Reds are a good bet.AL East The Yankees.“How about those Jays”.As Fergie Olver, nauseatin-gly exclaims, sorry Fergie the Jays despite having the most talent will find some way to blow it and finish second between the Yanks and third place Red Sox in a close race.AL West Kansas City.It is hard to choose between thé Royals and the A’s, but pitching depth and a more experienced bullpen give the nod to K.C.Bernie Gonyaw and Robert Fisher Bernie is a press man at the Newport Daily Express and a rabid Red Sox fan.Bobby is publisher of the Stanstead Journal and former Record sports editor.Bernie made the predictions for the AL while Bobby picked the NL NL East Montreal.There seems to be the attitude in the Expos’ camp this year that says ‘we can win’, instead of ‘can we win?’ Floyd Youmans will be their best pitcher now that the pressure of being the staff anchor is off his shoulders.Wallach and Raines have moved into the elite class of major league hitters and Galarraga is not far behind.Those people have a well balanced sporting cast.The key difference with this team from ones in the past is that it has a nucleus of players who have won something before.With Perez, Martinez, Nettles and McClure, they can now assume the leadership and spokesmen’s roles right from opening day and allow the younger players to go about their jobs and have fun.NL West San Francisco.Roger Craig.Since the wily former pitching coach left Detroit the Tigers haven’t been the same despite last year when they snuck in the backdoor because of Toronto’s fold of the decade.In his first year Craig took a band-aid pitching staff and gave it respectability and a sense of how to win.In his second year he won the division and nearly went to the World Series.He can take retreads and make them into Michelins, and it appears he is building a dynasty.As for the others, Eric Davis can’t carry the Reds all the way, and the store-bought instead of homegrown Dodgers will self-destruct.AL East Boston.I have been watching the games on my dish all spring and the Red Sox have got the finest team I’ve seen.They’re even better than the pennant winner of ’86.Starting pitching is back, with Denis Oil Can’ Boyd looking good.Bruce Hurst is healthy, and Roger Clemens is his usual self.The bullpen has improved 200 per cent with Lee Smith as the closer There is more depth on this team.One good thing to note is that late in the spring when the everyday guys start the games, the Red Sox have won nine of their last 10.AL West K.C.Everybody is picking the A’s.But I am going with the Royals because of their pitching depth with Bret Saberhagen.Charlie Lie-brandt, Floyd Bannister, Mark Gu-bicza, and Bud Black For closers they have Gene Garber or Dan Qui- senberry and Ted Power, who can set up or start, came over from the Reds Kurt Stilwell, who also came over from Cincy.i| going to solidify the infield at shortstop.They al so have the best second basesmen in the AL.Frank White, even if he is 37.To add to this the Royals have Steve Balboni and George Brett platooning at first with Balboni also DHing.And then their is Kevin Seitzer at third, who would have been the rookie of the year if it wasn’t for Oakland's Mark McGwire.Craig Pearson Another former Record sports editor who is currently a news reporter at the paper.NL EAST Montreal Expos.You’d better believe it.And I hate all this lost-element-of-surprise hogwash.Surprise is when you jump out from behind a bush — not when you play well all season and win 91 times.Raines will be NL MVP.And Tim Wallach, Andres Galarraga and Hubie Brooke are more than enough to add some all-star quality to the ’Spos But best of all, hurlers Pascaul Perez and Dennis Martinez will be smokin’ from the beginning.Buck Rodgers is a suberb baseball architect and the Big O’s new hat, by the way, will keep our boys the right temperature all season long.I hate to admit it, but the New York Mets with Dwight Gooden, Gary Carter and big mouth Darryl Strawberry will give the Expos a run for their money.But that’ll only make it fun NL WEST San Fransico Giants.So the big guys were humbled by St.Louis last year, so are you going to shoot them?They’ve still got great power and greeeaat pitching.The Cincinnati Reds learned their lesson last year.They’ve got to play hard all season and this time they will — but they’ll still finish second.AL EAST Toronto Blue Jays.It’s finally acceptable ti> be a sports fan in Toronto.DH or not, last year’s league MVP George Bell will be smashing.And Jimmy Key’s 2.76 ERA (tied for the best in baseball) last year just foreshadowed what he’ll do in ’88 As for the New York Yankees, if you have the guts to hire Billy “Sugar Ray” Martin for the millionth time — ydu’ve got the guts to win.They could be a close second.AL WEST Oakland A’s.After a winter of fine tuning, the new and improved Athletics are sitting pretty with recent arrivals, power hitter Dave Parker and former Dodger pitching sensation Bob Welch, who will butress an already husky pitching and hitting squad.The Royals only missed it by two games last year.Their experience should be enough to figure out how to to pool their talents — especially if George Brett is back in form.But football Bo, who strikes out as much as Wile E.Coyote, won’t do a thing.Meanwhile the defending World Series champion Twins will wind up third.WORLD SERIES: Jays and Expos (believe it or not).Jack Branswell Record sports editor NL East The Expos.This is the prototypical team.Great chemistry and lots of desire.Gone are the big stars, leaving a core of hard working ball players.The Expos will only be challenged by the Mets this year.Montreal’s pitching looks solid for this season, and it should hold up so long as Pascual Perez doesn’t take a wrong turn on 2 and 20.The bullpen by committee will not perform as well as last year All ready Andy McGaffigan and Joe Hesketh have had arm troubles.But Tim Burke will be a stopper again.If he gets hurt : bye-bye Expos.The second key for the Expos is the old traditional middle of the field strength.Up the middle the Expos have plenty of question marks.Will injury-prone Mike Fitzgerald stay healthy?Will Luis Rivera hit above his IQ?Can Casey Candaele last a whcRe season.Look for solid-hitting Tom Foley to play a lot more tbân the Expos are saying.In some way or another Graig Nettfes will hate an impact.Injuries will be the difference.Which ever club stays more healthy will win.NL West You have to like the Reds here.Cincinnati floundered last year due to its pitching.Former Expos General Manager Murray Cook has done what he does best — wheel and deal The key off-season move was obtaining lefty Danny Jackson from the Royals While the big bat of Dave Parker will be missed, any outfield that has Eric Davis in it is already a step ahead of the game The Reds run production will be down, but better pitching will keep them ahead of the Giants.San Fransisco has the bats, but they have also lost some strength in Chi li Davis’ 24 HRs and his 76 KBls Roger Craig may be a genius with his pitchers, but his team has little depth.They are not a young staff and it will show.AL East Forget (he Blue Jays.They lost it in training camp Winning teams don't have such disruptive camps.Bell’s unhappy, Fernandez's elbow is sore and therefore, the Jays won’t win it.The Yankees, the team you love to hate, are due Henderson.Mattingly.Winfield, Jack Clark and Mike Pagliarulo make for an awesome line-up.If Ron Guidry comes back strong in May the Yankees will be winners.Look for Boston to turn a few heads.With solid starting pitching and Lee Smith in the pen they will challenge the Yankees.AL West This is where you say a novena.Who knows and most of the time — except for last year - who cares.Everybody is picking the A’s to win tins one That is why the Twins will repeat Winning again is tough, but Minnesota is not the media centre New York is This means they have been able to think baseball Let's see if it works World Series: Yankees and Reds You might want to cut these predictions out and see who, if anyone, came the closest.Play ball.Some talented players toiled in Sherbrooke By Merritt Clifton Lawrence and Carol Moreau of Cowansville stumped me recently with this bit of trivia : what former Sherbrooke ballplayer, of major league renown, is named after four different parts of the body?Toe-Knee Arm-Ass, of course, a.k.a.Tony Armas, American League home run champion with the Oakland Athletics in 1981 (22) and the Boston Red Sox in 1984 (42).Called to the majors by the Pirates in 1976, Armas probably finished his career late last season, as reserve DH for the California Angels, He hit .301 for Sherbrooke’s last entry in the Double-A Eastern League back in 1973.He had another good year in the Townships with Thetford Mines, .277 with 15 homers, in ’74, then spent two years at Charleston before going up to the biggies.TEKULVE Only one former Sherbrooke player is still a major leaguer, relief pitcher Kent Tekulve of the Phillies.Tekulve was 7-6, 2.63 for Sherbrooke in ’72, and 12-4,1.57 in ’73, leading the Eastern League in games pitched, victories, and winning percentage.Tekulve worked 90 games for the Phillies last season, as set-up man for Cy Young Award-winning closer Steve Be-drosian.Expos fans probably remember him best for his clutch performances with the Pirates down the 1979 stretch.Tekulve worked 94 games that year, saving 31, as the Pirates edged the Expos for the N L East Division title by only two games.Sherbrooke’s all-time major league roster includes no other stars, but one could get a fair line-up out of them.The majority played for Sherbrooke’s Provincial League entry during the late 1940s and early 1950s.Catchers would be Dick Brown and Steve Nicosia.Brown hit .349 for Sherbrooke in '54, was an American League all-star in 1961 before suffering serious head injuries in a collision with Steve Boros, and died of a brain tumor in mid-career (1966).Nicosia played only three games for Sherbrooke in '73.His best year was .288 for Pittsburgh’s 1979 champions.Milt May, an all-star in both major leagues during the 1970s, was once Sherbrooke’s bat boy, but bat boys don’t count.At first base we’d have Roland Gladu, a .333 lifetime hitter in the minors, who hit .242 playing third base - not his usual position for the Boston Braves in 1944 Gladu was Sherbrooke’s manager and cleanup hitter from 1948-1951.Second baseman would be Lou Klein, who signed with Sherbrooke while under suspension by the St.Louis Cardinals in 1949.But He was reinstated by the Cards before ever actually playing here Klein had sparked the Cardinals to the 1943 World Championship with a .287 rookie season.He subsequently lost his job to Red Schoendienst, while doing World War II military service, and finished his career as a little-used reserve.MENDOZA LINE Shortstop has to be Mario Men- PIRATES doza, whose eight homers, 43 RBI, and .268 average for Sherbrooke in ’73 were all professional career highs.The so-called ‘Mendoza Line’ ballplayers talk aboul, the lowest average of any regular, was named for Mario, who hit only .215 as a major leaguer 1974 through 1982.At third base would be former Expo Ken Macha, who hit .267 for Sherbrooke in ’73, then led the Eastern League in batting with 21-100-.345 at Thetford Mines in ’74.Although Macha had a respectable career pinch-hitting for the Pirates, Expos, and Blue Jays, his best years came afterward in Japan, where he cracked 82 homers from 1982-1985, averaging .303.Backup infielder is Fernando Gonzalez, who blasted .333 with 42 doubles in ’72 to lead the Eastern League in both departments.Gonzalez jumped straight from Sherbrooke to Pittsburgh, but never really got going in the majors.He cracked .276 as a reserve in ’77, and managed nine homers, 34 RBI as a semi-regular with San Diego in ’79.Outfielders would include, besides Armas, longtime minor leaguer Johnny Corriden, whose major league experience consisted of a single pinch-running job for Brooklyn in 1945: and my one-time West Coast softball teammate Billy Williams, who batted 10 times without a hit for the Seattle Pilots in 1969, at the end of an 18-year minor league apprenticeship.Corriden hit .265 for Sherbrooke in ’49, while Williams managed .272 with 74 RBI in 1954.PITCHERS Starters would include Gary Bell, only 0 4 here in ’55, but 121-117 in 12 years as a major leaguer with a high of 16-11 in 1959; Paul Calvert, 20-7 for Sherbrooke in 1938-1939 and 1948, but only 9-22 in eight major league seasons; Harry Feldman, 7-1 for the New York Giants as a rookie in 1942, who finished up with Sherbrooke, in 1949; and Lou Knerr, 8-27 for the Athletics and Senators before also finishing with Sherbrooke in ’49.These guy s would need some relief help and that would be this ballclub’s strength.Joining Tekulve in the bullpen would be current Red Sox pitching coach Bill Dailey, 6-1 for Sherbrooke in ’55, 6-3 for the Twins in '63 with a 1.99 ERA and 21 saves; Dan Osinski, 18-7 for Sherbrooke in ’53 as the city’s all-time leader in victories, an outstanding long reliever for the pennant-winning ’67 Red Sox; and Bobby Locke, 17-7 for Sherbrooke in ’54.Additional relief help could come from Ralph McCabe, 7-5 for Sherbrooke in '48, and Bill Brandt, 12-9 for Sherbrooke in ’49.Neither lasted long in the majors.Diis Two members of Sherbrooke’s 1949 mound corps could double as designated hitters: Freddie Martin, 4-4 here but 12-3 lifetime in the majors, and Adrian Zabala, 24-13 in two seasons with Sherbrooke, 4-7 in the majors.Martin was a .283 hitter in the major leagues, while Zabala popped .362 for Sherbrooke in ’48.By the way, Sherbrooke isn’t the only town in the Townships that could field a team of major leaguers.When time and space permit, I’ll tell you about the all-time all-stars from Granby, Drum-mondville, Farnham, and, obviously, Thetford Mines.J 16—The
