Lévesque’s widow warns keep your eye on Bill 101 MONTREAL (CPt — The widow of former premier René Lévesque says Quebecers must keep an eye on the language issue so that Premier Robert Bourassa does not amend Bill 101, the province's controversial language law passed by Levesque’s government in 1977.“I hope Mr.Bourassa realizes the importance of the law and that he won t touch it,” Corinne Côté-Lévesque said in an interview.“I trust him but at the same time I’m vigilant, as I hope other Quebecers are.We must remain vigi- lant.” Bill 101, which entrenched French as Quebec s official language law, prohibits the use of languages other than French on public signs.Quebec anglophones have long urged Bourassa to allow bilingual signs but the Liberal premier has said he won't reveal his intentions until the Supreme Court of Canada decides whether the language law is unconstitutional.The ruling is expected later this year.Côté-Lévesque said she follows provincial politics closely but she is "aware of my limitations.” Levesque, who was Parti Québécois premier from 197Ô to 1985.died of a heart attack six months ago LET HER ALONE People who recognize her in public are discreet enough not to bother her.said Côte Levesque, born in the Saguenay community of Alma, about 200 kilometres north of Quebec City.Côté-Levesque said she enjoys a job that she began earlier this month as head of the bestseller di vision at Les Editions Quebec Amérique, a Montreal publishing house "A writer becomes so caught up with his work that he can't look at it from a distance,” said Côte-Lévesque.“We're there to suggest cuts, additions or other ways of helping the writer.” said Côté-Lévesque who acknowledged the work is stressful but "I'm confident 1 can do a good job." The former teacher has been asked to revive a Quebec Améri- que quarterly news bulletin which w as last published four year years ago.Côte Levesque also reviews books for L'actualité, a current-affairs monthly magazine, but a short stint as a Montreal radio announcer taught her she can’t handle every media job "As a communicator, you either have what it takes or you don’t The experience brought it home to me that 1 don't have it At the mike, you need to be at ease, which 1 wasn't." Nfld.UCC says no to homosexuals ST.JOHN’S, Nfld.(CP) —United Church officials in Newfoundland joined their counterparts in the other Atlantic provinces Sunday in rejecting a church recommendation that homosexuals be eligible for ordination.During a weekend meeting, about 350 lay people and ministers adopted resolutions taking a stand against the ordination of homosexuals and lesbians.They also opposed giving gay couples the same rights as married couples.Rev.Boyd Hiscock, executivesecretary of the provincial conference, said the concensus was that a controversial church report recommending ordination for gays was too much, too soon.Hiscock said the intense debate on the recommendation hasn’t hurt the church’s image and has raised awareness of church problems.Officials from Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island also rejected the recommendation Sunday during a Maritime Conference of the United Church held in Sackville, N.B.Bouchard acclaimed ALMA.Que.(CP) — Secretary of State Lucien Bouchard was acclaimed on Sunday as the Conservative candidate for an upcoming byelection in the federal riding of Lac-St-Jean.The minister, appointed to the cabinet March 31 from his former post as the Canadian ambassador to France, received the nomination Sunday at a meeting in Alma, a remote community in the Lac-St-Jean riding where he has opened a departmental office.About 600 members of the Tory riding association attended the meeting, where Bouchard criticized opponents of the Meech Lake constitutional accord.Picnic in the park néP RECORD/GRANT SIMEON Even though Sunday

its latest budget could simply increase the number of poor children in Quebec, a sociologist has warned.Morton Weinfeld.a sociologist at McGill University, said the government will have to introduce measures to go along with the incentives to ensure these children get an equal shot at prosperity.He said Quebec’s promises of $500 for first and second babies and $3,000 for subsequent children may be less than desirable if policies aren’t adopted to help parents raise these babies.Quebec’s fertility rate is one of the lowest in the Western Hemisphere: 1.4 babies for each woman of child-bearing age.In the next five years, the provincial government hopes the babies-for-bucks provision in the budget will boost the rate to 1.8, said Robert Dutil, minister responsible for family policy.The minimum rate needed to replace the current population is 2.1.Weinfeld, who is studying Canadian population trends, said the money being offered is probably going to be attractive to low-income families, “perhaps even welfare families,” he said.“Then the problem is that society is going to have to provide adequate social services and education to give these children an equal opportunity,” said Weinfeld.“Generally, children born into welfare don’t have an equal chance.‘‘If you’re going to make a commitment to natality, you have to make a commitment to the quality of life of the new children,” he said, noting the number of poor children is overtaking the number of poor elderly in Quebec.Jacques Henripin, a University of Montreal demographer who has warned that the descendents of today’s Quebecers will make up just 12 to 15 per cent of the population in 100 years if the province relies on immigration to replenish itself, says the budget’s measures are a step in the right direction.But he sees no baby boom on the horizon.“Nobody is going to have a child just to get $500,” he said.“Much more is needed.But it’s good to see the government saying the (fertility) rate has fallen too far and needs to be raised.” But Henripin said changes to the workplace are also needed to reduce the “incompatibility” of raising children and pursuing careers.He suggested such measures as guaranteeing women's jobs for two or three years while they’re on maternity leave, or allowing parents to convert their full-time jobs to part-time to spend time with children, as is done in France.In the 1960s, eastern European countries began taking steps to revive a fertility rate that had fallen below the replacement level, said Ben Wattenberg, a demographics expert based in Washington, D.C.Now, as a proportion of their gross national products, they spend three times as much as their western neighbors on programs to raise the birth rate, and their fertility rates are up to 2.1 children, compared with 1.6 for Western Europe, said Wattenberg, author of The Birth Dearth.But, along with incentives, east-bloc countries also have taken measures that might not wash in the west, such as outlawing abortion.First convoy of Soviet troops leaves Afghanistan KABUL (CP) — The first convoy of Soviet troops pulling out of Afghanistan rolled into Kabul on Sunday after a harrowing eight-hour ride from the eastern base of Jalalabad through rebel-held mountains and dusty plains.Shots rang out from distant hills as the 300 armored personnel carriers and Soviet-made BTR-80 tanks snaked through gorges and along steep precipices under searing heat during the 130-kilometre journey.Crowds in Jalalabad threw flowers at the departing troop.But some threw clods of mud and dung at the 1,200 soldiers in tjjp convoy, the first of an estimated 115,000 Soviet troops to withdraw after 8V2 years of war.“Don’t worry, you’ll make it to Kabul,” Lieut.-Gen.Vladimir Bogdanov told 20 western journalists riding with the convoy before it set out.As the convoy reached the dusty outskirts of Kabul, the capital.Col.Alexander Zubrilin told reporters there were no casualties during the trip.The journalists were flown Saturday from Kabul to Jalalabad, about 65 kilometres west of the Khyber Pass on the border with Pakistan.Reuter correspondent Helen Womack reported that the thud of heavy bombardment could be heard in Jalalabad throughout the night.As local Afghan elders addressed a midnight news conference, a sur- face-to-surface missile landed about 30 metres away, jolting all present.Bogdanov said the most dangerous part of the trip would be passage through what the Soviets call the Black Mountains not far outside Jalalabad, where Muslim guerrillas fighting Kabul are entrenched.A Soviet officer who declined to identify himself said.“If you decide to go, you can only go forward.” we still have some way to go' Turner: Popularity not money is problem By Robert Russo MONTREAL (CP) — An internal document showing the federal Liberal party reached just one-quarter of its popular financing goal last year tarnished an otherwise successful fundraiser Sunday featuring Opposition leader John Turner.But Turner and other party officials said other sectors of the Liberals’ fundraising efforts — such as corporate donations and direct mail — are doing well.“We still have some way said.More than 2,600 Liberals paid $300 a plate to attend the brunch, with Turner making his first appearance in the province since a Quebec based movement tried to force him to resign earlier this month.The event was nearly scrubbed two weeks ago, with only 800 tickets sold, after people began cancelling their reservations because of questions surrounding Turner’s leadership.Last week, party organizers said they hoped close to 2,000 would attend.But bad news continued to dog the Liberals in the form of the in ternal document obtained by the Montreal newspaper La Presse which showed the party could only squeeze $1.1 million out of its mem bers in 1987, far short of the objec tive of $4.1 million.The report indicates that the Li beral party would almost have to close shop without the financial contributions it receives from On tario and Quebec.It said the par ty’s financial situation was so bleak in Newfoundland, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island that these three provinces did not raise any money for the federal party.Party president Michel Robert, who was responsible for fundraising before he the post was taken away from him by Turner 10 days ago, tried to duck past reporters before being cornered and admitting that the dour financial picture was accurate.“It’s true to say that our forecast was probably too optimistic,” said Robert.“We did not put in place the infrastructure needed to meet our objectives for 1987.We have now done this and we expect the 1988 figures to be much better.” However, Robert said the party had halved its target of funds raised from party members to $2 million.to go on the popular side,” Turner After a tame question and answer period with the audience.Turner received polite, but not wil dly enthusiastic applause from the gathering, which included several of those who led the aborted cam paign to oust him two weeks ago.“The caucus and the party is solidly united behind me,” Turner told reporters later.“1 think the past two weeks have clearly shown that." FEELS THE SAME But Pierre Dalphond, vice-president of the Quebec wing of the party and one of the leading anti-Turner Liberals, was unrepentent about his attempt to dump his leader.“I think he should quit,” Dalphond said between courses during the brunch.“I said it (two weeks ago) and I still think it." Dalphond.who organized a meeting of 14 Montreal-area riding as sociation president s to call for Turner’s resignation, said he attended the brunch to help raise money to elect Liberal MPs.But he refused to say whether he would work to get the leader elected.Turner, who said the turnout at the brunch was “an extraordinary achievement given the difficult circumstances of the last 10 days,” did not make any direct comment on the attempt on his leadership.However, he felt enough at ease to joke about his recent leadership problems and referred to a Gallup poll taken in the midst of his struggle indicating the Liberals would win the next federal election.“1 sec a headline that says John Turner wins the country — his caucus demands a recount,”’ he quipped to applause and laughter.Raymond Garneau, Turner’s Quebec poltical lieutenant, said the brunch grossed $788,000 and netted $650,000 for federal Liberal coffers.Transport accident board coming at end of month OTTAWA (CP) — The final lines of the Tory transportation trilogy are set to be written.First was deregulation, and then the Railway Safety Act.Now it’s the transport accident investigtion board — an agency to investigate all accidents and incidents affecting safety in air, rail, marine and pipeline operations.Legislation to set up the board should be introduced by the end of May, says Transport Minister Benoit Bouchard.The board was promised three years ago when then transport minister Don Mazankowski, now the deputy prime minister, unveiled his grand design for transportation deregulation to promote more competition as well as lower fares and freight rates.Mazankowski said the agency and the Railway Safety Act were key companions to deregulation in assuring the public there would be no compromise on safety.The National Transportation Agency succeeded the Canadian Transport Commission to referee disputes over freight rates.airline routes and branchline abandonments.The Transport Department will be primarily responsible for setting and enforcing safety rules and regulations while the accident board — dubbed Crash Canada — will investigate accidents and recommend to the department how transportation can be made safer.The model for the agency was the Canadian Aviation Safety Board, established in 1984 by the previous Liberal government.But federal law makers soon discovered there were tensions within the aviation board — mainly a power struggle between the members of the board and its investigators.The Air Transport Association of Canada, which represents the country’s airlines, said the board members don’t have the expertise to get involved in accident investigations.A Bouchard spokesman said the new legislation will clearly detail the roles and responsibilities of the board members and the accident investigators.( i 2—The RECORD—Monday, May 16, 1988 The Townships Hccord J.P.Pelletier ‘By combining services you save money’ - Sherbrooke offers police, fire service to more neighbors Lenn and Ascot By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — The municipalities of Lennoxville and Ascot Township are considering an offer made by the city of Sherbrooke to share its police and fire department services.Last Thursday Sherbrooke suggested sharing its police and fire departments with the two adjacent municipalities.This came as a surprise to both towns, which had not been consulted before the offer was made.The offer came on the heels of a similar agreement Sherbrooke concluded with the town of Fleuri-mont a couple of weeks ago, Sherbrooke Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier said.“Because of the agreement with Fleurimont we had all the figures on hand,” Pelletier said in an interview.“We had considered offering them (Lennoxville and Ascot) the services in the past and we thought now was an opportune time to do it.” Pelletier wouldn’t release costs of the proposed deal but said that it would be in the interests of both Sherbrooke and its two neighbors.“Normally by combining services you save money,” Pelletier said.“We feel we can offer them a reasonable service.” SAVINGS “According to Sherbrooke there will be a reasonable savings for Lennoxville,” Lennoxville Mayor Duncan Bruce snH “We received the dossier on Thursday and it has been turned over to the finance chairman to study," Bruce said."They will study it and bring the report to council in early June.” Bruce was non-commital about the offer saying council will have to study it.“And, of course, we still have to discuss the offer with Ascot," he said.As for Ascot Township Mayor Robert Pouliot, he said he is in no hurry to sign a new agreement “It isn’t an urgent file,” he said.“After all we have a five-year contract with Metro-Police Sherbrooke Mayor Pelletier has made it clear that the offer is for both municipalities and the city will not deal with only one of the two.Pelletier said Fleurimont.Len noxville and Ascot are the only municipalities Sherbrooke has ap- ncoachcH tn «ian on intermunicipal agreement to share police and fire services.He said there are no plans to approach any other Sher brooke area municipalities at this point.Thge Lennoxville volunteer fire department provides fire protection in Lennoxville and parts of neighboring Eaton Towmship as well as some of Ascot.Other areas of sprawling Ascot are already covered by the Sherbrooke department.Young and elderly ‘the most vulnerable’ Boy hurt when car doesn’t stop Metro officers plan extra duties for police week SHERBROOKE (RD —The Len-noxville-Ascot police do more than just hand out tickets and arrest drunk drivers, says Captain Jacques Gagnon.And during National Police Week, this week, Metro-Police plans to prove this.The theme for this year’s police meek is ‘Beyond the Uniform’ and Lenn-Ascot’s combined police force has planned several activités to increase their visibility in the community.One of the police activities is giving Lennoxville primary school a video on child safety, entitled The Police Constable and You and signed by the entire police force.KIDS ARE FRIENDS “The video is about two policemen who are on patrol and who plan what they should do to protect their friends, the children,” Gagnon said.It discusses such things as traffic-safety, security in parks, water safety and crime prevention .Members of Metro-Police will also visit three area old folks homes with students from Alexander Galt Regional High School, to perform a little show with songs and poetry for the residents.“This will show the elderly they are appreciated for all they have done for us,” Gagnon said.“It will show them that young people value and like them.” Officers will also help deliver Meals on Wheels on Wednesday and are joining the Optimist Club in Ascot’s Belvedere Park all day Saturday to promote bicycle safety.BURNOUT During the week there will also be a talk on ‘stress and burnout in the police milieu’ by an instuctor from the Quebec Police Institute in Nicolet, and a ball game for policemen and their families organized by the policeman’s union.The activités to promote Metro-Police and their services are aimed mostly at the young and the elderly, Gagnon said.“These are the people who are the most vulnerable in our society and the clientele which for which we take a particular care.” “Policemen consider themselves educators, as agents of change in society,” Gagnon said.“We want to associate ourselves with other organizations in our community to encourage and promote them.” The Lennoxville-Ascot police force has 17 officers and has been around for five years since it was set up in 1983.Ir replaced the former Lennocville force which was more than a hundred years old.An eight-year-old boy was taken to hospital yesterday evening after he was struck by a souped-up car which failed to stop at a stop sign on Galt Street west at Lisieux in Sherbrooke.The grade two student was conscious when taken to the hospital with a cut forehead, bleeding nose and suspected broken wrist.The 20-year-old driver was visibly shaken as he spoke to police afterwards.His skid marks started about 30 feet before the stop sign and ended where the car stopped (above).Civil liberties groups: Zero tolerance is overkill WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S.government calls it “zero tolerance,” but industry and civil liberties groups have begun to question whether “overkill’’ isn’t an equally accurate description of the policy under which property is being seized in the battle against drugs.In the latest episode, the U.S.Coast Guard confiscated on Saturday the yacht Monkey Business — the charter vessel that once ferried presidential contender Gary Hart and model Donna Rice to the Bahamas — after officers said they found one gram of marijuana aboard.Only days earlier, the coast guard seized the $2.5-million US yacht Ark Royal on grounds that about three grams of marijuana was aboard.No one was arrested in either case.Even rental cars and leased boats and trucks are being seized by U.S.Customs Service agents and the coast guard, triggering complaints from owners who argue that they shouldn’t be penalized for the acts of their customers.Richard Schwartz, president of the Boat Owners Association of the United States, protested to the commandant of the Coast Guard that the seizure of the yacht Ark Royal was “overkill.” The association, which has 265,000 members, estimates there are 15 million boat owners across the country.NOT FAIR’ “We re concerned about the drug problem in America, but there has to be a rule of reasonableness here,” MiehaelSciulla, the association’s vice-president, said Friday.In the case of the Ark Royal, “the owner of the boat was not on board, no one was arrested as far as we can tell, there were no large amounts of drugs found on the boat,” Sciulla said.“It just doesn't seem fair that the absent owner would face forfeiture on those grounds.” Three days after the yacht seizure, the coast guard released the Ark Royal when the Irvine, Calif., owner of the 4(j-metre yacht paid a $1,000 fine and $600 in seizure fees.Some marijuana seeds and two stems had been found in a dresser drawer and a trash can aboard the boat.The government shows no signs of backing away from its new policy.Last week, the coast guard seized another yacht off the Florida coast after a search turned up a dollar bill with traces of cocaine and a bag with marijuana residue.It also seized a 17-metre fishing boat off San Diego after finding less than 28 grams of marijuana and a small amount of what appeared to be methamphetamine.Since April 11, the coast guard has confiscated 27 boats under the Zero Tolerance campaign.The customs service is stepping up its program, and since March 21, agents have seized 700 vehicles containing drugs.Mary Coombs, a Miami representative of the American Civil Liberties Union, says it is excessive “to take somebody’s property from them for something they probably couldn't control .“It’s putting people at enormous risk with no very effective way of protecting themselves.” #1____ttgl ifccora George MecLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Randy Klnnear, Assistant Publisher.569-9511

east-end subway station early Saturday.Police said Peter Jackson, 23, was taking the subway home with friends at about 2 a m.when an argument broke out between his group and another man.Jackson, a Saint John, N.B.native, was stabbed during the dispute and died shortly afterward, police said.He had moved to Toronto about three years ago and was working as a bricklayer.David Smith, 22, of Toronto, has been charged with second-degree murder.Newspaperman honored TORONTO (CP) — Joseph Atkinson, who built the Toronto Star into Canada's largest daily newspaper, was one of four men and women inducted Saturday into the Canadian News Hall of Fame.Atkinson spent almost a half century as publisher of the Star, taking it from a dying newspaper with a circulation of 7,000 in 1899 to a booming operation with a circulation of 396,000 when he died in 1948 at age 82.Computer crime costs bucks KITCHENER.Ont.(CP) — The average computer thief is more likely to be a trusted company employee than a "hacker” trying to break into a system from outside, a police expert says.Eighty-five per cent of computer crimes are committed by business insiders, said Cpl.Hal Daley of the RCMP’s commercial crime section.A typical thief is a man under 35 who is well-educated.well-regarded by the company from which he's stealing, and has no previous record, said Daley, who recently drew a computer criminal profile for high school students.In one scheme, a Bank of Nova Scotia employee tried to transfer $2.8 million from bank funds to an account in California.Eventually the person was caught and sent to jail for two years.The loot was recovered.Albertans give Turner support LETHBRIDGE, Alta.(CP) — The Alberta Young Liberals have come out in support of party leader John Turner.At a news conference Saturday in this southern Alberta city, members of the group’s executive said they were standing by Turner, despite reports from Quebec that they were behind a move to oust him.The Alberta Liberals met in Lethbridge for a weekend convention.Karri Knetsch, youth group president, said she had contacted most of the Liberal youth organizations across Canada and they all voiced support for Turner.The Alberta group sent a letter to Turner pledging its support.Western premiers meet VICTORIA (CP) — Drought, trade and economic diversification will be the key topics when the four Western premiers begin three days of floating meetings Thursday on a $3-million luxury yacht.Bill Vander Zalm of British Columbia, Don Getty of Alberta, Grant Devine of Saskatchewan and Gary Filmon of Manitoba will do their talking on board an opulent 35-metre yacht complete with a hot tub and three bars.Attendance at the informal discussions has been limited to the three crew, security staff, the four premiers and one adviser for each premier.27 killed in bus crash CARROLLTON, Ky.(AP-CP) — A bus carrying a church group home from an amusement park became a fiery deathtrap when it collided with a pickup truck travelling the wrong way on a divided highway.Officials said 27 people were killed.Between 30 and 40 people were injured in Saturday night’s crash, and at least eight of them, including the truck driver, were in critical condition, police and hospital officials said.The bus, carrying 67 teenagers and adults from the First Assembly of God Church in Rad-cliff, Ky., about 55 kilometres south of Louisville, was headed south on Interstate 71 when it was hit by the truck at about 10:55 p.m.Saturday.The group was returning from King’s Island amusement park north of Cincinnati Syria challenges Shiites BEIRUT (AP) — The Syrian army demanded Sunday that rival Shiite militias halt their 10-day-old bloodbath, saying it plans to move into Beirut’s southern slums with shoot-to-kill orders.More than 7,500 Syrian troops and about 500 tanks and armored vehicles were massed around the labyrinthine slums.The force includes two battalions of Special Forces commandos, military sources said.Golden Temple Sikhs surrender AMRITSAR, India (AP) — About 125 men.most of them Sikh extremists, surrendered to police Sunday after Indian security forces fired hundreds of rounds from machine-guns and automatic rifles into the besieged Golden Temple complex.Punjab Police Chief K.P.S.Gill said 40 to 50 Sikh extremists were still in the temple, Sikhism’s holiest shrine.Police said 18 women and eight children, all believed to be relatives of the militants, also walked from the temple compound, which has been surrounded for a week by 2,800 security forces.Yugoslavia reforms BELGRADE (AP) — Parliament approved economic reforms to freeze wages and open Yugoslavia to world markets Sunday, a day after the country’s two most westernized republics tried to topple the government.Both chambers of parliament backed the reforms, which Premier Branko Mikulic worked out with the International Monetary Fund.Mikulic outlined the economic reforms in general terms on Saturday, when he survived calls for his government’s ouster from Slovenia and Croatia.Pope prays among bombing LIMA (AP) — Pope John Paul celebrated the largest mass of his Latin American tour Sunday, surrounded by 20,000 soldiers and police after rebels set off explosions that plunged parts of the Peruvian capital into darkness.An estimated 1.5 million people gathered at a park on the city outskirts for the outdoor mass.The Pope appealed in his homily for the building of a “civilization of love.” Big elephant killed JOHANNESBURG (Reuter) — Botswana has lost its best-loved elephant.Baby Huey, who preferred humans to his own herd, has been destroyed.The giant African bull elephant with tusks that dragged on the ground was shot earlier this month by game guards at the Savuti Lodge in Botswana’s Chobe National Park, the Johannesburg Star newspaper reported Saturday.Lloyd Wilmot, who runs the lodge, said Baby Huey had to be killed because his appetite for treats handed out by humans had become dangerous.He had taken to turning over cars, crushing tents and breaking into huts in search of apples, oranges and sweets.Hundreds of visitors to the Savuti Lodge met Baby Huey at the lunch table, where Wilmot would curb the elephant’s demands with a slap on his probing trunk.But Huey’s demands became more pressing and.though camp staff were forbidden to feed him, treats secretly passed on by tourists kept him in the vicinity of the camp until he became a threat to the safety of visitors.Weather Cloudy with scattered showers and a risk of thunderstorms today.The high will be 18 and the low 9.Tuesday

But he said that would leave them open to lawsuits from the condominium promoters who were promised the extension of the services by the former administration Descelles said a majority of the costs should be absorbed by Groupe Pinso which owns the condominium project.But it haa refused saying the city had agreed to pay for half the costs.“We have handed out a construc- Missisquoi Perkins, a local lobby group, has appealed to their MNA.Labor Minister Pierre Paradis for his help in their fight to get a more realistic budget so they can keep specialized services.Unless operational budgets are improved, the BMP may lose some specialized services to hospitals in Sherbrooke and Montreal, say members of the group in a letter to Paradis.“We understand that hospital budgets are being discussed in Quebec," said Peter Kerrigan, vice-president of the group.“We want to make sure Mr.Paradis in- tion permit and we have to live up to our commitments." said Descelles.“Those 200 dwellings need sewage " THREAT TO ECOLOGY He said this will cost a fair amount of money but if they don't do it there is a threat to the ecology and the risk that Groupe Pinso w ill take them to court "That could end up costing even more." Descelles said Descelles said the town will have to act soon and a decision on the redistribution of costs will proba bly be made this week.But he said that if any changes affecting tax payers are made, a a public information will be held.Meanwhile there are two Route tervenes on our behalf " Part of the problem, according to BMP Chief of Medical Services Dr.William J.Barakett.is that there are two hospitals in their region.Because the hospital in Granby has the largest population base, it gets the money for specialized services.“The government doesn't see why they should duplicate services,” Barakett said “Through the years we have attracted more specialists.They come here, the money goes to Granby,” Barakett said.The two services most at risk are 243 bypass cases before the courts Développer Maurice Pinson-neault has asked Quebec Superior Court to void an environment ministry regulation requiring a second environmental impact study before the bypass is built.The case is set for June 15 at Granby courthouse.A decision in that case, however, may not be necessary if Brome Lake resident Marc Descelles w ins his case.He has asked Superior Court to overturn the resolution adopted by the previous town council to allow the bypass of Route 243 behind the condo project.That case is scheduled to be heard on May 18 at Cowansville Courthouse.orthopedics and ophtamology.But Martel says it would be unrealistic to expect Granby to take these cases because it is less equipped in these departments and has less specialists For example, Granby has only one orthopedist who recently had a heart attack.BMP has two orthopedists and Granby turns to them for help, says Martel."The injustice is not that Granby has the means,” said Martel.“The injustice is that we do not.” “The biggest danger is that we will lose the specialists we had difficulty in recruiting,” Martel said.Martel says its unrealistic to cut Gilles De celles.‘The bin question is who is going to pay for it.the services in Cowansville.He says if the services the hospital offers are no longer available, people will have to go elsewhere to get them.“This will force people to go to Sherbrooke or Montreal, where we know the hospitals are already overcrowded," said Kerrigan "It is not acceptable for people to go these distances to get services " “We would like to do the impossible and balance our budgets,” Martel said."Then we could return to the government and see what they had to offer.I suspect it wouldn’t be much." support group say BMP needs more money or services will disappear

all she needs is brains, not brawn “Vachon says that they need a real heavyweight in Ottawa,” Ber- By Rita Legault COWANSVILLE — Local MP Gabrielle Bertrand celebrated two things Sunday.Firstly, it was her 65th birthday.Secondly, she was acclaimed the Progressive Conservative candidate for her riding of Brome-Missisquoi for the upcoming federal election.In an unprepared speech Bertrand gave her reason for running again.“I have fallen in love with my riding and its population,” said Bertrand.“And because I’m in love, I don’t want to break up that love affair.” “I have always given my best, responded to all demands on my time and been ever-present in my riding,” she told the more than 200 supporters who turned up for the PC nomination meeting at the Auberge des Carrefours in Cowansville, Sunday afternoon.Bertrand says that the Brome-Missisquoi riding has seen a lot of economic development in the nearly four years she has been Member of Parliament for the area.More than $1 billion has been invested over the past four years, she said.“There has been an economic boom that is almost scary, that makes us dizzy,” she said.“We owe this to the businessmen and local people and I have been happy to be able to lend a helping hand.” Now, she says, the time has come to begin to develop the area for tourism.Bertrand also had a couple of words for her adversaries in the upcoming elections, Liberal André Bachand and New Democrat Paul Vachon.She says she wants to ask them a couple of questions, particularly about where they stand on the issues of the Meech Lake constitutional accord and the free trade agreement with the United States which she says are Brian Mulroney’s greatest achievements.“I wonder what Bachand’s posi tion is on Meech Lake?” she asked.“His party is for it, but his caucus is 50 per cent against it.” She also criticized Bachand for his lack of interest in the economic development of the riding when he was MP before he was defeated in the last election by Bachand.The tiny, white-haired grandmother of seven also invited NDP Paul Vachon, a former wrestler, into her ring.trand said.“If that’s what they think is important, that’s their problem.1 think it’s more important to have something in your head and in your heart." Sherbrooke MP Jean Charest, Minister of State for Youth and Minister of State Fitness and Amateur Sport, on hand for the nominating ceremonies praised Bertrand for her dedication and hard work.“Here, in Brome-Missisquoi, we measure the candidates from here up,” said Charest, indicating his neck and above.“The only thing that works to get anything done, is not by nice speeches, it’s by hard work,” Charest said.“This is a value that I share with Mme Bertrand.” Charest also took advantage of the occasion to plug his leader and his party and to give a couple of jabs of his own to the opposition.“If there is one thing that separates us from our predecessors it is that we have always put the interests of our population ahead of all otherconsiderations,” he said.“We have never lost sight of the interests of Canadians.” Charest said the Conservatives have accomplished a lot during their first mandate.He gave examples like .job creation, controlling the deficit and unemployment.“Never in the history of confederation have the Townships ever been treated as well by a federal government,” Charest said “No one contradicts that truth.” Charest told the audience Conservatives needed to renew their mandate to finish the work they started during their first term.“The work is started and we can not allow it to be continued by people who are completely incompetent,” he said.“How can we allow our country to be led by a party which waits for its leaderto attend his mother’s funeral before trying to overthrow him?” he asked.Charest also laughed at the NDP’s idea of fielding “Mad Dog” as a ’prestige’ candidate, referring to Paul Vachon’s campaign.(Mad Dog is actually Paul Vachon’s brother Maurice's wrestling name.Paul Vachon was called the Butcher.) Charest also read a telegram from Prime Minister Mulroney which wished Bertrand a happy birthday and praised her for her energy and determination.Gabrielle Bertrand.7 have fallen in love with my riding.’ Jean Charest.‘Be measure the candidates from here up.’ SOS exhibit on national tour Seminary museum takes environment prize SHERBROOKE (RM) —The Musée de Séminaire beat out 12 other nominees to win a provincial environmental award.The Musée won the prize for the Eastern Townships region at a Jacques Cartier Park ceremony yesterday.The museum received the honors for its exhibit SOS— Save Our Species.Save our Species, co-sponsored by the National Museums of Canada and now on a national tour, deals with Canada s endangered wildlife and offers solutions to help prevent more species from becoming extinct.The prize was awarded on the occasion of Environment Month 1988.Under the heading Environment, its for Life the contest was intended to reward those who have “greatly contributed towards the protection and conservation of the environment." The Musée du Séminaire’s bilingual exhibit was first shown in Sherbrooke in 1986.More than 300, 000 people have seen Save Our Species since its conception.NATIONAL IMPACT The competition jury, Jean-Marc Biron, information officer for the Catholic School Board of Sherbrooke, and Rolland Merrier, Roger Gagnon, and Paul Jeannotte from the environment ministry’s Eastern Township office, chose Save Our Species over the 12 other entries because it was original and had national impact.Colette Dufresne, assistant director of the museum, accepted a bronze sculpture entitled “When the bird lands on the shoulder of the man” on behalf of the museum’s staff The piece was created by Quebec artist Maurice Chauveau and represents the protection of life and nature.Musée du Séminaire general manager Charles Farrar was unable to attend the presentation because he is in France on a bursary from another award the museum won recently.The museum is now eligible to win the provincial final which will be presented by Environment Minister Clifford Lincoln on May 30 in Montreal.Townships talk COWANSVILLE (JM) — It cost Robert Busby a total of $2,600 to stay out of jail after the Venise-en-Québec resident pleaded guilty to charges of impaired driving and refusal to submit to breathalyser tests on October 31, 1987 and December 12, 1987.Crown attorney Henry Key-serlingk admitted Busby had not been served with a notice of a second offence and said the situation had been aggravated as Busby committed $20,000 in damages in December 1987 when he drove through the plate glass window of a store in Pike River.Defence lawyer Claude Hamann suggested his client be subjected to heavy fines and donations to the Granby detoxication program, La- bousolle.rather than prison He suggested fines of $500 and costs for the first charge, $300 and costs on the second, and a total donation of $1000 to the self-help organization followed by counselling.Keyserlingk relented to see if Busby might be eligible for treat ment and Judge Claude Léveillé adjourned his sentence for three days.A representative of Labou-solle said Busby was “a casual drunk, especially when unem ployeyd.He suggested AA therapy as often as available and a monthly follow-up at Labousolle.Judge Léveillé imposed the suggested fines and donations, the bound Busby over for three years ordering him to attend weekly AA meetings and to meet monthly with Labousolle.A progress report was demanded for December 6.• François Boulanger, of Cowansville, wasn't as lucky as Busby.He had been convicted of impaired driving in Sherbrooke during December 1987 and was served with a repeat offenders notice and plea ded guilty to another charge of dri ving a motor vehicle when his blood alcohol content was .200 mgs.Claude Hamann of the I,egal Aid office stepped in and told Boulanger of the consequences, then convinced Judge Léveillé to allow Boulanger to do the minimum 14 days over seven weekends at the Waterloo Rehabilitation Centre rather than losing his job. 4—The RECORD—Monday, May 16, 1988 —________ftgf Kccora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Baby Bonus idea |Gay minister says life is much more relaxed now is on right track While the government’s latest measure to help save the declining birth rate has been hailed by many, there’s more there than meets the eye.Under the new budget, the government has promised $500 for first and second babies and $3000 for subsequent children — a good move for the rich but not so advantageous for less fortunate Quebecers.Yuppies will certainly benefit from the move.While $500 may not seem like a great deal of money, it’s a nice bonus for those who can afford to raise a child.For Quebecers living below the poverty line, $500 can seem like a big bonus but unfortunately, it’s not enough to raise a child on.Traditionally, people living below the poverty line are less likely to be able to afford birth control so having a baby may seem like an easy way to make a few bucks.But it’s not so good for the child who will continue to be raised in an underprivileged family.What the government should do now is ensure that those children, and all others, can survive the system and benefit from it.Overall, the government’s baby bonus system is a good thing.The fertility rate in Quebec is the lowest in the Western Hemisphere: 1.4 babies for each woman of child-bearing age.With the new measures, the government is hoping to boost that rate to 1.8 over the next five years.The minimum rate needed to replace the current population is 2.1 so aiming for 1.8 doesn’t seem so bad.Mostly, it’s good the government has recognized the problem and acted on it.But soon, the government will have to come up with a plan to ensure the futures of those babies born under the bonus plan.Additional education and social service funding will be needed for these baby bonus children and as a University of Montreal demographer says, there should also be changes in the workplace for pregnant women.Jacques Henripin says changes in the workplace are needed so mothers can continue their careers while they help raise the fertility rate.Henripin suggests guaranteeing jobs for two or three years while the women are on maternity leave would be a good idea as well as looking into similar programs underway in Europe.The baby bonus plan is good Mr.Levesque.Congratulations on your first step.MELANIE GRUEH 1,517 AIDS cases reported in Canada ATLANTA (AP) — Health officials say AIDS cases reported worldwide fall into three patterns: industrialized countries with large numbers of cases, countries with mostly heterosexual cases and countries only starting to report the disease.The World Health Organization has reported 88,091 AIDS cases in 138 countries, hut the actual number is believed to be much higher because reporting efforts have just begun in some places.Thirty-six countries have told the Geneva-based organization they have had no cases of the deadly disease.AIDS reporting worldwide seems to indicate “three broad yet distinct geographic patterns of transmission," the organization said in a report published Thursday by the Atlanta-based U.S.Centres for Disease Control, whose researchers collaborated with those of WHO Those patterns are: Industrialized countries with large numbers of AIDS cases, such as North America, Western Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and parts of Latin America.In these areas, most cases have occurred among homosexual or bisexual men and among drug abusers: male patients outnumber females by as much as a 15-1 ratio.Heterosexual transmission accounts for a small, albeit growing, number of cases.CASES INCREASE — Areas of central, eastern and southern Africa and some Caribbean countries.In these areas, most cases have occurred among heterosexuals, affecting as many women as men.In some urban areas in these countries, researchers estimate up to 25 per cent of the sexually active population is infected with the virus which causes AIDS.— Areas of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia and most of the Pacific.Here, the AIDS virus was apparently not introduced until the early to mid-1980s, and only small numbers of cases have been reported.Generally, cases here have occurred among people who have travelled to AIDS-endemic areas or had sexual contact with people from such areas.The CDC report included analysis on 84,256 AIDS cases reported to the W'HO through March 21, the latest data available at the time the report was prepared.As of that date, 34,913 cases had been reported for 1987, a 72-per-cent increase over 1986.However.1987 reporting remains incomplete, and the exact percentage increase is not known.AIDS worldwide increased 92 per cent from 1985 to 1986, and 110 per cent from 1984 to 1985.U.S.LEADS Forty-two countries in the Americas have reported 61,602 cases, or 73 per cent of the world’s AIDS cases, as of March 21.The United States had accounted for 54,233 of those cases, with 2,325 in Brazil and 1,517 in Canada.As of May 2, the number of AIDS cases in Canada had increased to 1,730, including 965 deaths.The United States has reported 61,596 cases as of this week.Eight other countries in the Americas have reported more than 100 AIDS cases: Haiti, Mexico, the Dominican Republic.Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, Colombia, Argentina and Venezuela Africa has reported 10,973 cases, second to the Americas.Uganda, Tanzania, Congo, Kenya, Burundi, Rwanda, Malawi and Zambia have each reported more than 500 AIDS cases.More than 70 per cent of Africa’s AIDS cases were reported last year.Forty-two African countries or territories have reported AIDS.EDMONTON (CP) — A gay minister who was married for 22 years says his life has changed for the better since he declared his homosexuality.Rev.Dr Charles Bidwell, the father of two children, decided to stop hiding his homosexuality seven years ago.He slowly dissolved his marriage and moved in with a male friend.“Life is much more relaxed and free,” Bidwell said in an interview.“I was deceiving myself.I was deceiving the people who were important to me.“When you’re trying to hide, you use up a lot of your energy keeping up that mask.You censor You filter everything you say and do for fear somebody will find out.” After declaring his homosexuality, Bidwell joined the Edmonton Metropolitan Community Church, which ministers to gays and lesbians.He holds an education doctorate and is associate professor with the University of Alberta’s medicine faculty.Bidwell, 52, said he was always sexually drawn to males.He had girlfriends as a teenager, but they were just buddies.“It was the guys I was really attracted to, but I knew you didn’t act on it.I thought the only options were to be single or get married.” At 25, he married a McMaster University classmate.Bidwell felt his attraction to men was unique, but two years into the marriage he met another homosexual.' Tt was the first time in my life I felt connected to the human race.It opened up the floodgates of everything I wanted to talk about.What’s it like and how many others are there like me?Are we all strange?” FAITHFUL HUSBAND Bidwell was faithful to his wife throughout the marriage.When he fi- nally told her of his true feelings, she was hurt and angry.“One of her expressions was.I wish it had been another woman I could compete with another woman.’” The couple separated for a year before divorcing.He helped prepare his son and daughter for the ridicule they would face.Bidwell met and dated a male Edmonton sculptor.19 years his junior.They exchanged vows and rings five years ago.He also wears a ring with a pink triangle, the symbol homosexuals had to wear in Nazi concentration camps.Bidwell said it now is a symbol of pride rather than of oppression.But he still sees oppression when he talks to heterosexual congregations.He tries to show them he doesn’t fit the stereotype.“They come in such a rage.I get people accusing me of being an animal and not being a Christian.” Staff at the university gradually learned of his sexual orientation.They now consider he and his partner a couple and they both get invited to parties.As a United Church of Canada member, Bidwell was on a national church committee studying sexual orientation, lifestyles and ministry.Two divisions of the church have recommended ordination of homosexuals.This has angered many church members.Bidwell said ordination would allow gay and lesbian ministers to join the church honestly and let those already ordained be more open.‘ Tn all churches, there are more homosexual ministers and clergy than people probably assume.They’ve always been there.We’ve just not known about it.” Letters Farmers are still the Orphan Annie of society Soon the annual graduation ceremonies are are upon us again.A few years back I was privileged to witness the ceremony at McDonald College.As I was approaching the campus I felt the excitement in the air, a tense expectation and a festive mood was everywhere.As the time approached, the erected stage started to fill up with columns to occupy their prearranged seating in front of the stage.Speech after speech outlined the great achievements of yesterday and a prosperous futur for agriculture.The dignitaries were introduced with long lists of degrees, honours and accomplishments outlining their success on behalf of agriculture and were then donned with more honours and degrees.It was an impressive sight, a coronation of events and a day to remember.As the last diploma was handed out and the last citation proclaimed the crowd stated slowly to disperse.I made my way to the car convinced that these great fountains of wisdom can quench all the thirst of knowledge for the agricultural society, and yes farming must be the most prosperous business in this country.Soon however I learned differently.The farmers are still the Orphan Annie of society.Even though we contribute the most important part of life, sustenance, we have to be subsidized.But as soon as our product leaves the farm and gets in the hands of the packers, wholesalers and retailers they all are able to make a profit.The environment experts are not complimenting us either.We are accused of being one of the biggest pollu-ters in the country.The U.P.A.comfirmed that we are washing our topsoil down the river at an alarming rate.Some chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides have been endorsed and recommended by our agricultural experts only to be taken off the market as cancer causing and unsafe.Apples, meat and other agricultural products have to be removed from the shelves as health hazards despite the advice and guidance of our peers.McDonald and no doubt other universities are experimenting with growth hormones in order to squeeze more out of a cow than nature intended.Havingdisposedof ethics we now cater to greed.A professor from McDonald College assured us that the cost of these treatments will be negligible and the benefit substantial but once the dust has settled the cost will be as much as the market can bear and the benefits negligible.And the all important consumer is completely ignored.We may produce more milk but find a smaller market.But what burns me up is that when the recommendation and guidance from our agricultural experts turn out in failures, the farmer and the consumer bear all the bruises and the culprits walk away without a scratch.The methods we employ, the quality of our product and the financial reward are below expectation.As far- mers, we may well be wondering if we are not led into a Fool’s Paradise.Fred Eichenberger West Bolton Meech Lake rewrites Canada’s constitutional history Editor: In the Record’s May 5 report by Robert Russo, Garneau Warning: Kiss Meech Goodbye, he states “The deal which enjoys strong popularity in Quebec, makes the province a signatory of the 1982 Constitution.”.This is untrue.Quebec, just as any other province which ratifies Meech Lake, is a signatory of the BNA Act drastically rewritten, the 1982 Constitution Act considerably altered, and of Amendment 16 — the only part which will bear the 1987 date if all provinces adopt Meech Lake before June 23, 1990.In fact, seven of Meech’s sixteen amendments alter the 1982 Act.Eight — the most contentious parts — amend the 1867 (BNA) Act, not the Act of 1982.So, no consenting province can be said to accept the 1982 Constitution, as such.In reality, what Meech Lake does is rewrite Canada’s

RECORD—Monday.May 16.I*»S$—U Sports Sherbrooke A’s go 500 over weekend By Roy MacLaren SHERBROOKE — The Sherbrooke Athletics came out of their road trip this weekend with a .500 record in Quebec Major-Junior Elite Baseball League action.GAME ONE The A s lost their first game to Shawimngan Saturday.11-7.The trip got off to a bad start with transportation problems and the team arrived in Shawinigan a hour and a half late.Head coach Yvon Lachance was not disapointed with his team's effort.He believes Shawinigan to be one of the strongest teams in the Quebec Major-Junior Elite Baseball League and thought that it was “OK that they won.’’ The coach conceded that Shawinigan was “a lot better than us.” The A’s kept the game close until the sixth inning, with the score 8-7 for Shawinigan.After the sixth, however, the game began to pull away from the locals and they were kept off the scoreboard.Coach Lachance was extremely happy with the play of third base-man Mathieu Roy.Roy hit a double scoring two RBls in the first inning and brought in two more runs in the sixth with a home run.“Errors in the infield cost us the match,” concluded Lachance.GAME TWO Despite not leaving Shawinigan until 12:30 am, because of the game's late start, the Athletics fa- red better in Sunday's game, de-featung the Lauzon Ambassadeurs 7-5.The Ambassadeurs pitching was extremely good in the first half of the game and the A’s were unable to score.Things picked up by the fifth inning .however, when the A s knocked in two runs.Et'cS They kept the momentum going w'ith two more runs in the sixth inning and another three in the eighth.Lachance feels the turn-around play came in the seventh inning when catcher Pascal St.Pierre picked off two runners with the bases loaded.St.Pierre also hit in two rbi’s.Pitcher Daniel Lamontagne was on the mound for the first six innings, striking out six opponents.Denis Primeau came in for the save.This week the A’s will be travelling to Trois Rivières on Tuesday and will return home to meet the Trois Rivières team again here on Thursday.Expos fall to Padres SAN DIEGO (AP) — Shane Mack’s RBI single in the seventh inning scored Benito Santiago with the winning run as the San Diego Padres defeated the Montreal Expos 2-1 on Sunday.The victory gave the Padres their third straight win and a sweep of the weekend series in which the Expos scored just four runs.The game-winner came against Montreal righthander Jeff Parrett, who came on in the seventh inning to relieve starter Bryn Smith and was tagged with his first defeat against three victories.Smith pitched the first six innings and allowed one run on four hits.Santiago led off the seventh with a single and was bunted to second by Randy Ready.After Carmelo Martinez flied to the warning track in left, Mack sin- gled to centre for his second game-winning hit of the series.The run gave starter Andy Hawkins the victory.Hawkins, 4-3, pitched seven innings, allowing one run and four hits.He was replaced by Lance McCullers to start the eighth.McCullers faced four batters in the eighth before Mark Davis worked the final 1 1-3 to earn his fourth save, striking out three of the four batters he faced.The Padres took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Ready singled, went to second on a groundout and scored on a single by Shawn Abner.The Expos tied it in the sixth.Smith led off with a single and Tim Raines was hit by a pitch.Johnny Paredes bunted, but Smith was forced at third.Hubie Brooks then biooped a single, scoring Raines.Rookie leads Chi-Sox over Blue Jays in 11 CHICAGO (AP) — Rookie Dave Gallagher, promoted from the minors two days earlier, hit his first major league home run in the 11th inning Sunday to give the Chicago White Sox a 6-5 win over Toronto Blue Jays.The Blue Jays had tied the game 3-3 on Kelly Gruber’s two-run single in the ninth.Lloyd Moseby’s two-run double put Toronto ahead 5-3 in the top of the 10th before the White Sox scored twice off Tom Henke in their half.Gallagher’s solo shot helped Chicago win its third straight game.Bobby Thigpen, 1-3, got the victory and Mark Eichhorn, 0-2, took the loss.Chicago starter Jerry Reuss pitched three-hit ball for seven innings but left after two rain delays totaling 35 minutes in the eighth.The Blue Jays loaded the bases in the ninth against John Davis on one-out singles by pinch hitter Ranee Mulliniks and George Bell and a walk to pinch hitter Fred McGriff, and Gruber met Bill Long with a single that made it 3-3.Sport shorts Nelson Liriano got a bunt hit and Tony Fernandez singled in the Toronto 10th before Moseby doubled off Long.The White Sox tied it in the bottom of the 10th on doubles by Ozzie Guillen and Ivan Calderon and an RBI single by pinch hitter Donnie Hill.Henke entered in the eighth after the White Sox scored an unearned run for a 3-1 lead and had two runners on base with none out.He got Greg Walker to foul out and fanned the next two batters.Daryl Boston and Harold Baines hit solo home runs in the Chicago first.Boston hit his third homer into the upper deck in right-centre on the third pitch from Jim Clancy and one out later, Baines hit his sixth homer.Toronto scored in the fourth as Juan Beniquez walked, took second on a groundout, moved to third on a wild pitch and scored on Cecil Fielder’s sacrifice fly.The White Sox made it 3-1 in the eighth when Guillen walked and came home when Bell misplayed Baines’s single to left field for an error INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Mario Andretti apparently was right and the U.S.Auto Club was wrong, but his disappointing qualification for the Indianapolis 500 stands nevertheless, chief steward Tom Binford said Sunday.Andretti, who qualified at 214.692 mph on Saturday, swore the remnants of an oil spill kept him from the pole position and what he thought could have been a record qualification run.Binford at first didn't buy the argument that Andretti had no warning a mixture of sand and dry concrete used to soak up the oil was still on the track.He reasoned Andretti had at least 40 minutes of practice before qualifications started and should have notified officials if a hazard "as on the track.No other driver reported a problem.BOSTON (AP) — Roger Clemens of the Boston Red Sox limped with an apparent strain in his right knee Sunday, 24 hours after pitching a second three-hit shutout in a row.Dr.Arthur Pappas, the Red Sox’ physician, said Clemens had some swelling on the outside of the knee.“We’ve put him on antiinflammation medication and we’ll keep a close watch this week,” Pappas said."Fortunately, because of an off day Thursday, he is not due to pitch again until Friday.’’ Clemens said he felt something pop in his knee in the dugout during the last half of the first inning Saturday against the Seattle Mariners.MONTE CARLO (APi — Alain Prost won his fourth Monaco Grand Prix Sunday after McLa- #1___iJyj masra Bishop's Gaiters get a rebirth in Ontario By Scott David Harrison SHERBROOKE — Pessimism voiced last week by former Quebec University Athletics Association basketabll commissioner Garth Smith was proven needless when the Quebec men’s basketball league merged with the Ontario league Friday Next year.Bishop's.McGill and Concordia will be lacing up the high-tops against Ottawa and Carleton in the Ontario University Athletics Union.Eastern Division.Bishop's w ill also play a home-and-home series against the University of Toronto, York.Ryerson.Lau-rentian and Queen's.Friday’s announcement was as sweet to Smith and Bishop's Gaiters men's basketball head coach Eddie Pomykala as the swooshing sound of a last-second, gamewinning basket.“We’re elated by it." said Smith.“It w ill be great for Quebec basket ball.” Gaiters coach Eddie Pomykala thinks the merger is a break for the school’s program.“I think it is probably the best thing that has happened to Bishop's basketball — besides the two Quebec University Athletic Association basketball championships,” he said.“This is the best thing.“I'm more than happy,” added Pomykala.“It pumps me up.I wish the season would start in two weeks.” “Three teams was a definite downer,” he said referring to the intensive-care condition the QUAA was in after Trois Rivières folded, leaving Bishop’s, McGill and Hgi ’’nn n IOT1 T Eddie Pomykala and his Gaiters basketball program will get a new life in the Ontario University Athletics Association.Concordia to fend for themselves “How could you expect to attract players to a three-team league when you play the same teams all the time?” The merger means the OUAA s basketball league will expand to three divisions from its present two.The Gaiters will play 18 games but only against teams from the Eastern and Central Divisions.Play against Western Division teams is reserved for league playoffs.Come game time, local fans will be offered a feast of basketball action wdth nine teams travelling to the John H Price sports centre to take on the Gaiters.As Smith said, "the whole scene means that there'll definitely be a better grade of basketball " Pomykala agrees.“It helps in many ways." he said."First there's the improvement in competition.The teams w ill be better, the players will be better and the coaches will be better.For me, it means seeing nine different coaches instead of just three.“With nine different teams coming in to play the Gaiters there will be more excitement for the fans.” For the fiesty Pomykala.the list of advantages goes on and on especially with recruiting With a bigger league the Gaiters will be able to recruit in areas where they were unable to before, believ es the Gaiters head coach The defunct QUAA has been gi ven a two-year commitment by the OU A A and unless the OU.AA changes its mind the merger will be permanant a fact that Smith is extremely happy about.As for Gaiter players.Pomykala said they don't understand the beauty of the merger "They don't understand the si gnifcance of it all.They think "That's great, we have a league to play in.' but they don't really un derstand what it all means ' What it means is that basketball will now have a chance to step out of the shadows of the school's very successful football program “Basketball now becomes a ma jor, major sport at Bishop's," Po mykala said Pomykala said the new league will promote a better Bishop's club "1 think we re in the best league in the countrysaid Pomykala 11 you win this league you have to be tough a very good team 1 couldn't really say the same thing for Quebec (the QUAA

out for us 1 hope it will make us a better team, that my main concern." NBA’s Isiah Thomas leads Pistons within one CHICAGO (AP) — The Detroit Pistons didn’t deserve to lose Sunday, Isiah Thomas decided.And largely because of him, they didn't.Thomas scored nine of his 19 points in the final 4:57 of the fourth quarter to go with Adrian Dantley's 24 points as the Detroit Pistons beat the Chicago Bulls 96-77 Sunday to take a 3-1 lead in their NBA playoff series.The Pistons can clinch the best-of-seven Eastern Conference semifinals with a victory Wednesday at Pontiac, Mich.‘"I said to myself, ‘We’ve done everything to win.’ Dantley had carried us all day,” Thomas said.‘‘I was determined to do everything in my power to make sure we won.” The Bulls, who trailed 71-55 after three quarters, moved within 81-76 with 4:57 left.But Thomas took over and the Pistons outsco-red the Bulls 15:1 to put the game away.The Pistons once again put a defensive blanket on Michael Jordan, holding him to a playoff-low 23 points on ll-of-22 shooting from the field.‘‘Detroit does a great job on me — they won’t let me penetrate and I kept giving up the ball,” said Jordan, who came into the game averging 39.4 points in the playoffs after leading all scorers during the NBA regular season with a 35-point-per-game average.“They had three people playing Michael.That’s not the problem,” Bulls coach Doug Collins said.“The other guys aren’t hitting their shots.” “They executed under pressure and we did not,” he added.“That was the difference in playoff experience.” John Paxson sparked the Bulls’ fourth-quarter rally with a 3-point basket that brought them within 79-68 with eight minutes left.After baskets by Jordan and Dantley, Paxson made a three-point play then another 3-point shot to pull Chicago within 81-76.But Thomas, who left the game ren-Honda teammate Ayrton Senna was knocked out of the race while leading with 11 laps remaining.It was the 30th Formula One victory of Prost’s career.He has notched two firsts and a second in this season’s three Grand Prix races to lead the World Champion Drivers standings with 24 points.The 33-year-old Frenchmen won the 78-lap race in 1 hour.57 minutes.17.077 seconds over 161.204 miles.He averaged

up 90-76.Thomas left the game with 6:36 left in the third quarter after Jordan’s elbow hit him in the head but returned with a minute left in the period.“I thought Isiah was knocked out,” Pistons coach Chuck Daly said.“The next thing I saw was him coming up from the locker room.” Thomas said the collision left him dazed for several minutes.“I could hear, but I just couldn’t put anything together,” he said.Paxson and Scottie Pippen added 15 each for the Bulls.HAWKS 110 CELTICS 92 ATLANTA (AP) — Kevin Willis had 23 points and 12 rebounds and reserve guard John Battle scored 10 points

they were rather proud of him BRIDGE ASTRO •GRAPH This from that Newsweek Special Report titled “The Pacific Century”.“It won’t be much beyond 2010 before Japan becomes the leading power in world politics”.So declares Richard Rosecrance, professor of International Affairs at Cornell University.And Newsweek goes on to warn that “by 1955 the Japanese government and Japanese private investors will likely own.as much as 10 percent of all U S.assets”.The statistics presented are as numerous as they are frightening, and what adds to the pain of reading such bleak prophecy is the suggestion that we North Americans have only ourselves to blame.That over here we seem to have become convinced we have a God-given right to eat more, own more and enjoy more while at the same time producing less and less.And singled out for special blame is the American worker.The Asian produces so much more than his counterpart on this side of the water, so we are told, because of his pride in his work and his intense loyalty to his employer.Indeed one might put this maga zine aside convinced that the Asian employee is incurably infatuated with work; that his one ambition is to work as hard and as long as he possibly can.The American however is apt to demand even shorter and more leisurely work hours and still feel that he is being exploited.H.Gordon Green Now I had a special interest in that insinuation because when I was a University student in the U S.back in the early ’40’s I ground steel in a bearing plant from midnight till eight in the morning, (this so I could afford to pursue classes that began at nine).And even though the nation was then frantically girding itself for war, I soon discovered that it was decidedly un-American for a worker to work too hard Each job had been rated, and if you happened to turn out more pieces than what had been established as being a full eight hours output, you would be visited by the union steward.“The first thing to learn when you work here, boy,” my steward warned, “is not to spoil the job.Mind your rate, boy, and don’t try to get too fresh with it!” But, I hear you say, that was back in the trembling days when the world was at war and help was so precious that employers had to humour workers in every way possible.It can’t be the same today, can it?Well hear now the story of my neighbour’s lad John who quit his job not so long ago.I have known John’s parents for many years.They are hard-working farmers from Scottish stock, better read than the most of us; and like most of us who are addicted to the soil and growing things, not rich.I know John too, though not so well.When he graduated from high school he decided that he wouldn’t ask his parents to send him to college.Perhaps a little later he could find a way to put himself through.When John found a job with the maintenance crew of a large engineering shop, his parents were delighted.The pay was good, the job to his liking, the firm well established and solid.But one afternoon when John reported for his shift he was told that his foreman had called in sick.So had the other man John worked with.(There were only three men in a maintenance crew in this shop.) “You’ll just have to take it easy, John,” the supervisor told him, “You haven’t been with us long enough to go ahead on your own.I’ll tell you what.There’s that big diesel tractor out there in the yard with a generator that needs to be changed.Why don’t you just crawl up into the cab and sit out the shift there?It isn’t your fault there’s no work you can do here.We’ll switch generators tomorrow if the other two are back by then.” But John isn’t the kind of boy who likes to sit.He is also a very versatile lad, and he had worked with diesels before on the farm And when he looked the situation over, it seemed to him that it would be a relatively easy job for him to do what needed to be done, and he felt rather proud of himself when he had the whole thing done by the time the buzzer went at midnight.Next day however, instead of being met with congratulatory smiles, he found himself up before a very angry steward of the shop union.“Smart guy, eh?” the steward said.“Who told you you could do a job like that on your own?” John wondered if there might be something wrong with the job he had done, but the steward soon let him know that he was missing the point entirely.Jobs like that were all rated, he was told.And that particular job was supposed to take three shifts of three men to complete.It was in the book: And doing it in less time and with only one man was not only making that hard-bought rating look ridiculous but it was ruining the job as well! The union couldn’t very well fire John, but they had made him so mad that he put on his coat and went home.His parents were terribly upset to see him come through the door and out of work again, but when they got the story they were rather proud of him.Which, I think, is to their credit.James Jacoby WEST 4 Q J 8 3 TQ 8 6 5 2 ?4 ?K J5 NORTH S-18-IS 4AK 10 9742 V — ?7 b ?A Q 6 3 EAST 46 4 10 9 3 4

contract looks cozy if all the suits split nicely, it’s time to figure out what you can do if the key suits misbehave.At first glance, today's six-diamond contract looks easy, with a good chance for an overtrick.Nevertheless, there are pitfalls, and declarer trapped himself in one of them.After winning the opening trump lead, South immediately played another high trump, and West showed out.South could not afford to give up a trump trick to East, since East would surely lead right into dummy’s A-Q of clubs, eliminating an entry before the spade suit was established.So South cashed one more high diamond and then played A-K of spades.Alas, East ruffed the second spade.Eventually, despite taking a successful club finesse, declarer had to concede down one.South can succeed if he guards against a bad spade distribution.At trick two he should lead a spade to the ace and then ruff a spade.This loses only if he is overruffed by West, but there is little chance that West has a singleton spade, since he didn’t lead it.After ruffing a spade, declarer can ruff a heart to dummy and ruff another low spade.The spade suit is now good, and all declarer has to do is play his high diamonds and give up a diamond to East.The ace of clubs will be the entry to dummy and he will have plenty of tricks.The problem with playing a second high diamond before testing spades is that there will not be enough ways of getting to dummy to establish the long spades when the suit breaks badly.James Jacoby's books “Jacoby on Bridge" and “Jacoby on Card Games" (written with his father, the late Oswald
