The Confederation of National Trade Unions, which represents 6.500 food workers, protested that the bill w ill destroy the only family day in the week In September, more than 400 gro cery-store owners opened their doors one Sunday to protest what they said was the unequal manner in which the law was being applied PQ pushes trade deal measures By Penny MacRae QUEBEC (CP) - The Parti Québécois sought to put Premier Robert Bourassa on the spot Thursday over his refusal to pressure the Conservative government to spell out transition measures to help workers affected by the free-trade treaty.“Be honest and tell us that you haven’t made any specific demands to the federal government,” PQ house leader Guy Chrevrette told Bourassa in the legislature.Chevrette was continuing a push launched last week by the Opposition to know what transition measures the government intends to cushion the impact of free trade on such vulnerable Quebec industries as textiles and furniture-making.The Opposition has been trying to score points against the Liberals by embarrassing them over what it calls their laxity toward the Conservative government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney during the campaign for the federal election.Chevrette said Quebec is losing out to other provinces.He pointed to $100 million allocated by the federal government for B.C.wine makers and $28 million earmarked for wine makers in Ontario.But Bourassa replied the province won a key demand when the free-trade treaty gave it the right to continue bottling wines sold in Quebec grocery stores.Bourassa added that Mulroney had described Ontario wines as “the best in the world” — and the legislature exploded into guffaws.“Out of courtesy for the neighboring province and friendship for (Ontario Premier David) Peterson, I will abstain from any commentary,” the premier said.Bourassa reiterated that the federal and provincial governments have set aside $600 million for the current fiscal year to assist Quebec industries that will be hurt under the agreement.Her smile seems three feet wide I Broadbent walks out on language question Miss Canada 1989 Juliette Powell, started her cross- The Record caught up with the two

VANCOUVER (CP) - Liberal Leader John Turner restated his commitment to NATO Thursday although a survey by a peace group indicates that many candidates want a much softer line on defence.Turner told a Canadian Club luncheon that Canada would become a “more active participant” in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the air defence agreement with the United States.However, a survey released Wednesday by a peace group indicated that two-thirds of Liberal candidates disagree with at least one party policy on peace and arms control.Turner also repeated his standard attack on the free-trade deal with the United States, receiving a polite standing ovation from the crowd of lawyers, accountants and executives.But around several tables they remained seated.The Liberal leader entered the dining as about 30 protesters supporting free trade, accompanied by a Tory candidate, chanted “liar, liar.” Kim Campbell, Conservative candidate in Vancouver Centre, said Turner is preying “on the ignorance of the general public” about trade by saying the deal will erode Canadian sovereignty.Turner’s remarks, billed as a major speech on foreign affairs, were later described by an aide as a rehash of existing policies.The Canadian Peace Pledge Campaign found that 32 of 45 Liberals responding to a questionaire varied from the party line on at least one peace-releated issue.SUPPORT LINE All 61 New Democrat candidates supported party policy and only two of 40 Tories expressed different opinions from their party line in the survey conducted by a coalition of 150 peace groups.However, most Liberal respondents supported declaring Canada a nuclear-weapons free zone, banning visits by nuclear armed ships and dropping NATO’s longstanding policy of allowing a first strike by nuclear weapons -all contrary to the national Liberal platform.Turner earlier told reporters the candidates were expressing their personal views and would tow the party line after the Nov.21 election.“The respondents, I am sure, once they are elected, will confirm and support the defence policy of the party,” Turner said.The Liberal leader also repeated that he would break dipolamatie ties with South Africa and attacked Prime Minister Brian Mulroney for not having done so.“Over a year ago, I called on the Mulroney government to to impose complete economic sanctions and withdraw diplomatic relations from South Africa if no progress was made toward ending apar-thied,” said Turner.“That deadline has passed.” But Turner’s patriotic pitch on free trade and a pledge to seek greater trade with the Far East didn’t impress everybody."You can still be a good Cana- dian under free trade.’’said international tax accountant Donald Furney.After his speech, Turner was asked by a bus boy if scrapping the deal would lead to the “Americans not having relations with us, or what the story will be?” But Turner said the Americans will continue to do business with Canada, adding: “We just tell them look, we’re going to do it a different way.” Turner started his day with a tour of the Atlantic Furniture Factory, whose owners fear it will be swamped by American competition under free trade.By Warren Caragata LEVIS, Que.(CP) — New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent said Thursday it’s not for him as an outsider to pass judgment on Quebec’s language law.“I’m not a Quebecer," he told re porters.Broadbent was asked whether the law, which is now before the Supreme Court of Canada, is still needed to protect French as the language of the majority.“It’s Quebec legislation and I can’t decide as an outsider whether that bill is necessary or not.“Neither can I make a judgment — because I don’t live here — in terms of the sociological reality whether it’s necessary or not,” said Broadbent, the MP for Osha-wa, Ont., east of Toronto.The country’s highest court has been asked to decide if a section of the law prohibiting the use of En glish on commercial signs is constitutional.The ruling is not ex pected this year.Many anglophones in Quebec say the language law discrimi nates against them.Many franco phones believe the law is necessary for the survival of their language.Broadbent took a markedly different tack earlier this year when the Conservative government in Saskatchewan introduced legislation limiting the use of French.The Saskatchewan bill came after the Supreme Court upheld a much earlier law giving the two languages equal status in the region that later became Alberta and Saskatchewan.He called the Saskatchewan law an “unacceptable course of action” and demanded an emergen cy debate in the Commons on francophone rights in that province.At a quick news conference later at the Toronto airport, he attempted to clarify his remarks made in Levis.“I protect the rights of the minority, of the majority, in all parts of Canada,” he said, speaking French above the din of jet aircraft.He angrily denied that he says one thing in one part of the country and another thing in another part.“I do not have,” he maintained hotly, “a policy for one province and another policy for another.” But he was asked how he could square his comments in Levis and his comments about the Saskat chewan legislation.‘ ‘ I commented on Bill 101 when it was introduced and commented on it a number of times since.I have been very consistent on that and will continue to comment on le gislation once it’s introduced in the provincial domain.“The question that i was asked this morning that I was responding to was pertinent to the need of a provincial legislature to introduce legislation and I said that I am not a citizen of that province, it’s a provincial domain and it’s not up to me to decide,” he said in English.Tf you're talking about provin cial legislation once it’s been intro duced, whether in Saskatchewan or in Quebec, 1 have been a eonsis tent person in commenting on it “It is not not my role as federal leader to tell a province to introduce, you know, legislation.” His comments in Levis came du ring a shipboard news conference along the St.Lawrence River near Quebec City.The questions foeu sed on constitutional matters and Quebec language controversies.Broadbent said he supports the principles of the language law, known as Bill 101, and he said the English community in Quebec is strong and is not threatened.When reporters asked if he was abdicating his responsibilities as leader of a national party by taking no stand, Broadbent got up to leave.He paused only to say he will comment on the SupremeCourt ru ling when it’s handed down.Two polls published Thursday suggest NDP support has been dropping in Quebec and the party is mired in third place nationally.But, as he has done before when presented with pessimistic reports from pollsters, Broadbent said he is still confident his party can win seats in Quebec for the first time ever.Although most polls during the campaign for the Nov.21 election have shown only slight movement for the NDP, Broadbent said the volatility of the electorate means he still has a good chance.The NDP chartered the 27.5-metre Saint Andre to cruise the St.Lawrence River below the cliffs of Quebec City to give Broadbent a television backdrop when he an nounced plans to give towns and cities $20 million to build new se wers and water treatment plants The money would be on top of a $200-million-a-year program an nounced earlier for sewage treatment.PM continues his attack on opposition leader Election ’88 TIMMINS, Ont.(CP) — John Turner lacks the courage to put a price on his campaign promises and is trying to win the Nov.21 election by hocus-pocus, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Thursday.In a biting critique of Turner, Mulroney virtually spat out insults, saying the Liberal leader is putting his party ahead of Canadians by refusing to reveal the “catastrophic costs and inevitable consequences” of paying for his promises.“Mr.Turner must end his silence now and spell out for Canadians .exactly how high a price he proposes to extract from them,” Mulroney told a luncheon rally in Timmins-Chapleau riding Mulroney said Finance Minister Michael Wilson has determined that 12 of 40 Liberal promises would cost $37 billion without taking into account inflation or borrowing costs To implement his promises.Turner would have to cut programs, raise taxes or let the deficit soar.If the deficit climbs, and interest rates with it, Canadians have a right to know “how many jobs and homes and small businesses (they) will lose as a consequence.” Cost estimates of Tory election promises vary widely.The C.D.Howe Institute says the bill would be $3.2 billion over four years while the Liberals say it would be $32 billion.Without being specific, Mulroney says he would use existing money to finance his promises and he won't increase the federal deficit.In the 1984 election campaign, Mulroney, who was opposition leader, took the same approach that Turner is taking today and refused to say how he would finance his plans.On Thursday, Mulroney said Turner can’t hide behind the argument that he hasn’t seen the books because all federal budgetary provisions are public.“Mr.Turner has all the informa tion he needs, right now.to tell Canadians about his amazing spen- ding proposals.All he lacks is the courage to do so.” Earlier, he told a breakfast rally in Sault Ste.Marie he wouldn’t “bet a nickel” on the future of Canadian steel if a Liberal government tears up the free-trade deal with the United States.To a menu of muffins and coffee, Mulroney served up recollections of the recession that pushed unemployment rates in Sault Ste Marie over 20 per cent in the early 1980s.And he continued to press the at tack on the anti-free trade Libe rals.“You take John Turner's policy to tear up the free-trade agreement, and take his promises (of new government spending) and put them all together .and you have some of the ingredients for another recession," said Mulroney.“Lost jobs, lost opportunities, the return of inflation, high interest rates, declining investment, greater debt The old Liberal national energy program crippled the Canadian oil industry and cut demand for products from Algoma Steel Corp .the city’s chief employer, he said Abandoning the free-trade deal would cause similar distress ‘‘Without that agreement I wouldn’t bet a nickel on the Ameri cans continuing to exclude Canada from import quotas on steel,” Mulroney said.He predicted that defeat of the deal would prompt a rise in U.S protectionism and “they’re gonna get you just as surely as summer follows spring.” Algoma Steel, along with Sydney Steel in Nova Scotia, came under attack last week when the U.S.giant Bethlehem Steel launched a trade action claiming the Cana dian companies benefit from unfair tax breaks and regional development subsidies.Free-trade opponents say the case illustrates the shortcomings of the Mulroney trade deal — it would not prevent American companies from attacking Cana dian subsidy programs as unfair.The Tories say that under the trade deal, a bi-national panel would rule on such disputes and Canadian producers would get a better break than under current trade law 4 t \ 2—The RECORD—Friday, November 11, 1988 The Townships i____««I Kccora Seat open as Supreme Court Judge retires OTTAWA (CP) — The second vacancy of the year on the Supreme Court of Canada occurred Thursday as Justice Minister Ray Hnatyshyn announced that Mr.Justice Jean Beetz is retiring because of illness.A court spokesman said the illness is not life-threatening and Beetz is working at home on judgments.Under court rules, Beetz may continue to write or take part in judgments for six months after his retirement date.That means that the court’s ruling on a Quebec law requiring business signs to be in French only must be handed down by May 10 if Beetz’s name is to be on it.And it leaves the possibility that Beetz.a constitutional authority, may himself write the ruling on the most political case before the court Quebec, appealing a ruling that the law violates the constitutional guarantee of freedom of speech, has signalled that it may use its constitutional over-ride to keep the language law alive if the court invalidates it.Of the seven Supreme Court judges who heard the French signs appeal a year ago, two have retired and a third is seriously ill.Justice Willard Estey stepped down last spring and Justice Gerald Le Dain is in hospital suffering from a breakdown and hasn't been able to take part in decisions by the court this fall.Beetz, 61, also has been out of action since before the current term began Sept.29.The court spokesman refused to confirm that he had surgery for cancer of the colon but said Beetz has decided he cannot continue as a judge.Beetz is one of three Quebec judges on the nine-member court and his successor, who will be chosen by the prime minister, is most likely to come from among the judges of the Quebec Court of Appeal.CHANGES PROPOSED Proposed amendments to the Constitution would give Quebec a right to identify a list of nominees to the high court.The prime minister would be restricted to making the selection from the province’s list.However, the so-called Meech Lake accord amendments have yet to be ratified and were not used last spring when Prime Mi nister Brian Mulroney named Toronto lawyer John Sopinka as Es-tey’s replacement on the court.Mulroney also named Justices Gerard La Forest and Claire L’Heureux-Dube to the court and has boasted in the current election campaign that the appointments were above criticism.Beetz, a Montreal-born Rhodes scholar, was appointed to the Quebec Court of Appeal in 1973 and promoted by then prime minister Pierre Trudeau to tlje Supreme Court a year later.Beetz had been Trudeau’s special adviser on constitutional affairs in the late 1960s.He was dean of law at the University of Montreal 1968-70.In 1984 Beetz stepped aside to open the way for Trudeau to name Dickson as the chief justice of the court.Beetz had suffered a heart attack before that when he plunged into the chilly Atlantic after jogging on a Maine beach.A meticulous and deliberate worker, Beetz was regarded as a strong supporter of provincial rights.In 1981 he sided with the majority in ruling that Ottawa needed substantial support from the provinces before it could amend the Constitution.The ruling forced the politicians to resume constitutional discussions and resulted in the amendments that entrenched the Charter of Rights and Freedoms in the Constitution April 17, 1982.Announcing the Beetz retirement, Hnatyshyn said: “Mr Justice Beetz has served the people of his own province of Quebec and of Canada with great distinction and honor.His dedication to the law, its practice and its teaching has been exemplary.’.’ Britain angered after RCMP stops reporter LONDON (CP) — A British journalists' group has sent letters to the Canadian High Commission in London and to British Foreign Secretary Sir Geoffrey Howe asking why a British reporter was questioned by the RCMP at a Montreal airport and told he could stay in Canada only two weeks.The Institute of Journalists said Thursday it has demanded to know why Gordon Thomas of the London Express was stopped by two RCMP officers upon his arrival at Mirabel Airport Oct.15.Thomas says he was interrogated for 90 minutes and then ordered out the country in two weeks.“We certainly won’t take it lying down." said John Hart, general secretary of the institute.Although Hart was unwilling to discuss details, Thomas himself said the institute has sent a letter asking Howe to take up the issue with Canadian officials.He said a letter has also gone to the Canadian High Commission in London demanding an explanation from the federal government.Thomas had been about to start a Canadian tour promoting his new book, Journey into Madness, a study of medical torture and CIA brainwashing, when the incident took place.PRETTY HEAVY’ “It was pretty heavy frankly,’’ Thomas said in an interview from his home in Dublin Thursday.“They were very difficult and I was told not to discuss this,” RCMP Sgt.Brian Hunter, who met Thomas at the airport, has said he did not interrogate the reporter and described the meeting as a “talk between him and me.” Thomas said his two passports and press credentials were also taken from him at the airport.When they were returned later, one passport had been stamped in red with a notice that he leave the country at the end of two weeks.Known for his investigative work on terrorism, Thomas said he was questioned by the police officers about his connections to Mossad, the Israeli secret police.He said he was also asked about Canadian sources for a story he wrote during the Toronto economic summit in June.€1____tel IBBCOrtl George MacLaren, Publisher.569-9511 Randy Kinnear, Assistant Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor .569-6345 Lloyd G.Schelb, Advertising

Circulation Tories add to native struggles — Chief FREDERICTON (CP) — The struggle by native people for greater self-determination has been hampered by cuts and freezes imposed by the federal Conservative government, says Georges Erasmus, national chief of the Assembly of First Nations.“The last four years were probably worse than anything seen before,” he said Thursday.Erasmus told delegates at a national conference on native child welfare Ottawa has cut funding for native educational programs and limited financing for natives wanting to pursue university educations.“It makes no sense at all,” he said.“There is a tremendous hun- ger among our people for education.” Better educational opportunities will lead to a decline in native unemployment, said Erasmus, who accused the government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney of “dragging its heels” on native issues.He also blasted the Conservatives for imposing a moratorium on a program that helps Indian bands gain control over the organization and delivery of child and family social services.While federal politicians have cited increased costs of community-based services as the reason, Erasmus said, “during the same period this same government could go around and buy byelections with millions and millions of dollars.” EXOTIC TOYS Roche Sappier, co-ordinator of the three-day conference, said native people are not looking for “unlimited amounts of dollars” to establish their own programs.“But we are trying to reserve the right to plan our own destinies.” Erasmus said social programs administered and delivered by non-natives have never considered the goals and aspirations of natives nor been implemented in ways which take into account native traditions and culture.Speakers at the conference also criticized provincial social services agencies for looking to nonnatives when a native child is pla- ced in a foster home or put up for adoption.Native children must be kept with their own people, said Erasmus, rather than be “given away like exotic toys to wealthy families.” Graydon Nicholas, president of the Union of New Brunswick Indians, delivered a similar message, saying native people can revitalize their communities through a return to their spiritual beliefs in such things as family unity.“Problems created at the comunity level can be solved at that level,” said Nicholas, a lawyer and social worker who is stepping down as president of the New Brunswick association at the end of this year.Leeches may help monitor water pollution VANCOUVER (CP) — They are loathsome, sluglike creatures that lurk in lakes waiting to latch on to unsuspecting swimmers and suck their blood.But a University of British Columbia researcher believes he’s found a noble use for the lowly leech — monitoring pollution in rivers.Ken Hall of the Westwater Research Centre says he got the idea from scientists at the National Water Research Institute in Burlington, Ont., who found that in a stream they studied all the aquatic life was wiped out except for leeches.“They’re pretty hardy individuals,” he said.Hall’s project involved putting leeches in a cylindrical mesh cage and hanging them in the Fraser River for a week at a time, near Mitchell Island at the river’s mouth and where there are several forest products operations.“We have a problem on the West Coast, the fact that we use chloro-phenols on a lot of our lumber to prevent sap stain, which is a discoloration that affects the marketability of the wood products,” he said.SALMON KILLED Chlorophenols have been shown to be toxic to young salmon.“We take the leeches back to the laboratory and .look for the levels of pollutants in the leech tissue and compare that to what we found in the water samples,” Hall said.“We found there’s a pretty good relationship between the levels of chlorophenols in the leech tissue and the levels that we found in the water.” A holiday memory led Hall to a prime leech location.“I was up north of Princeton (about 200 kilometres east of Vancouver) and my wife wanted to go swimming.She said ‘are there any creepy-crawlies in here?’ I said ‘Don’t worry about it.’ “She put her foot in the water and these great big leeches headed for it.” LOTS LEFT Hall said he and Christina Jacob, a master’s student in civil engineering, probably went through about 200 leeches during the experiment.“I don’t think we depleted the re- sources in the lake, though,” he said.The advantage to using leeches, Hall said, is that they retain concentrations of pollutants.“Fish have an enzyme system that helps them degrade chlorophenols, so they’re not really a good bio-assay organism.” Hall would like to continue his experiments with leeches, possibly growing them in the laboratory to get a “good, consistent sample of leeches of uniform size.“One of our problems right now is, once the lakes freeze up we can’t get any more leeches,” he said.“I think they have the potential to monitor a variety of organic pollutants, but certainly more experimental work has to be done.” Jim and Tammy have to give it back to PTL COLUMBIA, S.C.(AP) — Jim and Tammy Bakker, along with a former top aide, must repay $7.5 million US to PTL for reaping undeserved profits and mismanaging the TV ministry, Judge Rufus Reynolds ordered Thursday.Reynolds said he determined the Bakkers and former PTL vice-president David Taggart were overpaid during their last four years at the ministry.The current PTL administration, in a lawsuit filed in February, originally sought more than $50 million from the Bakkers and Tag- gert.Reynolds heard the case in September and October in U.S.Bankruptcy Court in Columbia.In the order signed Wednesday and filed Thursday, Reynolds said Jim Bakker, who founded PTL and left in March 1987 after admitting to having sex with former church secretary Jessica Hahn, must pay PTL $4.9 million.Tammy Bakker, his wife and former co-host of the PTL Club television show, must repay $677,397, and Taggart must repay $1 million.In addition, Reynolds ordered, Bakker and Taggart jointly must repay PTL another $1 million.Reynolds, in his 50-page explanation for the judgments, said the expenditures at PTL under the Bakker administration were “unbelievable” and a “waste of PTL’s money.” Reynolds said in his order: “In conforming with the religious overture of this case, this court observes that James Bakker either overlooked or ignored parts of the Bible, including 1 Timothy 6:10: “For the love of money is the root of all evil; which while some cove- ted after, they have erred from the faith and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.’” Bakker and Taggart, Reynolds said, “approached the management of the corporation with reckless indifference to the financial consequences of their acts.” “We plan to appeal,” said Ryan Hovis, a lawyer representing the Bakkers.Hovis said he could not comment on Reynolds’ order but said Bakker cannot repay the ministry because “he doesn’t have anything.” U.S.admits their jets are undetectable by radar WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S.air force has been flying a Stealth radar-evading jet fighter for seven years, and now has about 50 of the planes at an isolated base in Nevada, the Pentagon acknowledged Thursday.Partially lifting a veil of secrecy that has enveloped the plane from its birth, the Pentagon and air force released a photograph of the unusual aircraft but declined to discuss its capabilities.The limited disclosures were made now because the air force needs to start flying the craft in daylight, a spokesman said.The Pentagon said the plane had been declared operational and ready for wartime missions in October 1983, but that it first flew in June 1981.The Stealth fighter “is official- ly known as the F-117A,” said Dan Howard, the Pentagon’s chief spokesman.“It has been operational since October 1983 and is assigned to the 4450th Tactical Group at Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.The aircraft is based at the Tonopah Test Range Airfield in Nevada.” The photograph released by the Pentagon depicts a relatively small, swept-wing plane with a flat underbelly.It somewhat resembles a sting ray — black or dark blue with no exterior markings.The cockpit is located far forward in a nose that comes to a sharp point, with what appears to be gun barrels or air-speed probes sticking out.ENCLOSES ENGINES The plane features a V tail atop a fuselage that ends in a rectangle, apparently completely encompassing the two engines that power the plane.The air intakes for the engines appear to be fitted tightly into the sides of the fuselage, just below the cockpit.The swept-back wings would suggest the plane is capable of flying at supersonic speeds, but the air force declined to discuss the matter.Military sources have said the plane is designed for sneak ground attacks and not air-to-air dogfighting.The air force has ordered 59 of the planes and 52 of them have been delivered, Howard said.Three of the planes have crashed and two pilots have been killed, the air force added.To protect its secrecy, the plane has been flown only at night.But the air force needs to start flying the plane during daylight if it is to integrate the squadron’s war plans with others, Howard said.Howard and air force officials declined to discuss how much the program cost.Neither would they offer information on the plane’s dimensions or general capabilities, the materials from which it was constructed, or the major subcontractors involved.The plane is built by the Lockheed Corp.at a tightly guarded plant in Burbank, Calif., the air force said.According to military sources, the planes are kept at a high state of readiness for use as “aerial shock troops,” capable of slipping behind enemy lines without being detected on radar and creating confusion with unexpected bombing runs.Weather Doonesbury BY GARRY TRUDEAU ^ /i)' ^ ^ IliW 1 RAIN KARI SYMINGTON BIT!

The RECORD—Friday.November 11.19XS—3 The Townships 1____ftef nscora ‘I slowed down and almost stopped’ Trucker tells coroner stop signs don't mean much behind the wheel ot a semi By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — A coroner looking into four deaths in a collision between a semi trailer and a car came down hard yesterday on truckers who do not come to a full stop at stop signs.“Stops aren’t for you?” Coroner Pierre Trahan asked trucker Onil Provencher during a dramatic hearing at the Sherbrooke courthouse.Only Provencher and car driver Everett Boynton survived the accident which occured at the intersection of Route 255 and Range 10 outside St-Camille July 28.Boynton’s girlfriend Nancy Cilles, her two sons Kevin and James Clarke, and their friend Brian Enair were killed.Proven- cher and Boynton were uninjured.Provencher admitted he did not come to a complete stop but rather slowed his tractor and 38-foot trailer down to “two or three miles an hour" at the intersection.MAYBE 10 Under cross-examination by-Crown Prosecutor Michel Ayotte and lawyers representing Boynton.Provencher admitted he may-have been going at up to 10 miles an hour when he made his rolling unstop “I arrived at the comer, 1 slowed down and almost stopped and then continued,” he said Provencher, who left his home on Range 10 after supper to take a load of lumber to Windsor, said he didn’t understand why he failed to see the car coming.He said the car must have been in a blind spot and that maybe his side mirror blocked his view Coroner Trahan asked Proven cher if it was a habit of all truck drivers to avoid coming to a complete halt at stop signs.Provencher replied failing to stop is very common because it is easier to get 15-speed manual-shift trucks rolling again if drivers only-gear down into second or third.“You take the chance, you take over part of the other lane and you don’t stop completely to make sure the road is clear?" Trahan asked."Don’t you think that truckers are exaggerating?Cars, for one reason or another, are right to be afraid of you "Do you think I should ask the Minister of Transport to make a new sign for truckers that says ‘stop/slowdown?" Boynton said although he saw the semi across the field as he approached the fatal intersection, he did not see it before he collided with it He said the truck disappea red from view as he reached a bend in the road.Boynton also said he was talking with Cilles.She asked me if 1 thought the truck was going to stop." Boynton recalled."I said of course it's going to stop, it’s loaded and there’s a stop." But Boynton said just before the car collided he heard Cilles yell: “It isn't going to.” POLICE Quebec Police Force officers who arrived at the scene of the accident also testified at the hearing.Sgt.Julien Auclair said the car was heading north on Route 255 and the truck west on Range 10 when they collided at the intersec tion He confirmed there is a stop at the corner.Auclair said when he arrived at the scene the truck was on top of the car in the ditch and there were skid marks from the truck but none from the car Auclair’s partner Cst Roch Émond told the court that because of a hill just before the intersection, drivers on the range road can not see the approaching highway when they are 1000 feet away It becomes visible only about 500 feet away, he said.Despite this he said, there is a green sign announcing the 255 on Range 10.a yellow sign warning of the upcoming intersection and a red stop sign at the highway Policeman Emund admitted he once missed the same stop in a moment of inattention.Coroner Trahan decided to take a drive down to the scene to see for himself.He said a new sign may be needed at the intersection Trahan also said his inquiry w as one many on fatal accidents involving big trucks in the province.Quebec coroners don't determine criminal liability.They only attempt to establish the facts of ac cidental deaths and recommend ways of avoiding repeats.None of the testimony can be used against witnesses in court.Coroner Trahan said he would release his report within two months.Guess what they said about free trade.Sherbrooke candidates debate stays low-key as By Rossana Coriandoli SHERBROOKE — The three major candidates in Sherbrooke ri- Alain Poirier.‘Volume will become a lot thicker.’ ding got a chance to have it out last night.in a mild-mannered sort of way.Jean Charest, Dennis Wood and Alain Poirier met for a debate organized by the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce touching on three major topics of this election campaign — free trade, the environment and regional development.As often happens during electoral debates, the three candidates, Progressive Conservative Charest, Liberal Wood and New Democrat Poirier, did nothing more than repeat what they have said throughout the campaign.Charest is the only one w ho did not take a stand on a Slowpoke nuclear reactor planned for Sherbrooke University hospital.The Sherbrooke MP and minister of state for youth and amateur sport repeated he awaits public hearings and further studies before making a decision for or against the reactor.CHEERED “I’m no expert on this, I don’t understand this field,” he told the crowd, mostly Charest supporters who clapped and cheered enthusiastically at almost every opportunity.Wood, like Poirier, said he opposes the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke reactor as far too dangerous for Sher- Election ’88 brooke.“I want researchers to find an alternative to the reactor,” the businessman-candidate said.Wood and Poirier also repeated their opposition to the Canada-U.S.free trade agreement, with Poirier calling it “an insult to Canadians.” Poirier, a social worker, also said nothing is safe from the agreement.“The free trade volume is a fairly thin volume,” he said.“But those items not included will, in the space of three to five years, end up in the agreement, and the volume will become a lot thicker.” Wood denied Tory allegations that the Liberal party has been scaring Canadians with lies on the effects of free trade on social programs and old age pensions.“We don’t need to scare people because the government itself scared them w-ith this very project,” he said.But a confident Charest did not waver from his party’s stand that Canada will benefit from freer trade with the U S.He said two per cent of U.S.raw materials are exported compared to Canada’s 22 per cent.“We depend on our raw material exports more than most other countries,” he said.“The U.S.has more to lose from the deal than we do.” Charest also said local workers and industry will have time to Dennis Wood.‘We don’t need to scare people.’ Backs off fast on vote-buying charge against Charest three differ — politely adapt to the new system once free trade comes into effect, adding that some would have up to ten years before free trade actually affects them.He also said local small businesses would be aided by federal-provincial economic development programs.Poirier said government must encourage technological development.Wood said he would deal with regional economics “as a builder and a worker” and said one word would describe his approach to regional development : “Do.Do more.Do it better — but do.And the way to do it will be with w'ork.And more work." Wood blamed Charest for the fate of Estrietech, a local nonprofit group he headed while president of the Chamber of Commerce.Estrietech failed to win a bid to house Sherbrooke’s new federal cartography institute.Wood also blamed the Tory government for cuts in research and development.But Charest said the Tory government gave the region $18 million for regional development from 1984 to 1986.He also shid the government lowered the deficit, inflation and unemployment in its four years in power.Although (here was no clear win ner in last night’s debate, most present seemed to think Charest had fared considerably well, as their enthusiastic applause and loud chanting of his name seemed to imply.Jean Charest.Deficit, inflation and unemployment down.Alain Poirier: Quebec NDP candidates don’t see their names in print enough By Christina Tapler SHERBROOKE — Sherbrooke NDP candidate Alain Poirier says he doesn’t have the money to pay for campaign organizers and people to vote for him “like Jean Charest” does.“We (New Democratic Party candidates) lack money to hire people to work for us,” Poirier said at a press conference Thursday.“I don’t have the money like Charest to pay people to work in an office or pay people to vote for me.” He offered no proof and quickly toned down his statements .“I am not making any accusations,” Poirier said.“I am only repeating rumors.” Charest’s campaign — like all Progressive-Conservative cam- Election ’88 paigns in Quebec — is financed only by donations from individuals, in accordance with a policy adopted by Quebec Tory MPs this autumn.PC candidates may not accept money from companies, unions or community groups.ANY SOURCE NDP policy allows donations from any source, with trade unions the party’s biggest source of money.Charest, as an MP and Minister of Youth, hires paid workers.However, election campaign workers are mainly volunteers.The federal Elections Act puts a per capita ceiling on campaign budgets in each riding Quebec NDP candidates, however, do not usually reach the spending limit because of their historical lack of support.“The NDP is less structured,” Poirier said.Poirier earlier promised to create jobs in the region if elected “Estrie has not received its fair share of industry,” he said.Poirier’s plan would encourage investment in the Sherbrooke area, which he said competes directly with Montreal, particularly in research and development.Among his other plans: • Help create an environment in which all levels of government, business and the community work together, he proposes a “permanent public forum to permit a regular exchange of information”.This forum would also work to “improve communication between the different zones in Estrie”.• Form a regional environment council to encourage new businesses committed to reforestation, water purification and especially a garbage recycling plant.• Support installation of a community and social development ministry to improve community services, especially for the elderly.• Improve relations between the anglophone and francophone communities.• Finally Poirier reaffirmed his support of the Coalition CHUS, which opposes the installation of a nuclear reactor at the University of Sherbrooke hospital.Poirier called his proposals “more concrete” than those of Charest and Liberal candidate Dennis Wood.The NDP candidate called on the media to “better publicize his ideas”.“It’s nice to make announcements,” but if no one finds out about them, announcements be come useless, said Poirier.He accused local media of ignoring his campaign, blaming them for his party’s “lack of visibility”.“There is a tendency of certain media to ignore the NDP,” Poirier said.“The media’s presentation of a party’s image is important for public recognition of that party.” LITTLE INTEREST Although he blamed the media, Poirier put his finger closer to the mark when he pointed to the public.“There is little public interest (in the NDP) as evidenced by this room,” he said, referring to the otherwise empty conference room.“We don’t need 150 people in a room to send a message, but we need media coverage.” No “balance of media coverage” legislation exists in free countries apart from free-time television and radio commercials, which are evenly divided among the three major parties Media outlets choose to cover events they deem newsworthy.But Poirier said the role of the media is to inform the public of all party announcements.“People will be interested to hear a good debate on the issues like free trade,” he said.‘Seeing so many things I never expected to see’ Stretch limousine and full-time chaperone: Miss Canada starts her regal tour By Craig Pearson SHERBROOKE — More or less confined to Ontario and Quebec for the bulk of her 18 years, Miss Canada 1989 is on the trip of her life — starting with Sherbrooke.With all but one of her 200-odd Canadian destinations ahead, Juliette Powell’s cross-country odyssey should be “educational,” she said Face it, it’s downright fabulous, if you don't count the full-time chaperone and rigid, don’t-stop-till-you-drop daily schedule.But that’s just part of becoming an instant celebrity.“It excites me all the more," said the part-time fashion model, the first non-white Miss Canada in the pageant's 42-year history.“I’m seeing so many things I never expected to see.And I’m very lucky tp be seeing them at 18," Yep.AMERICAN BORN Bom in the United States, Powell moved to Canada when she was seven years old.A statuesque 5 feet, 11 and three-quarter inches, the 126-pound beauty grew up (and grew up, and grew up) in St-Laurent.But after placing second at the Miss Montreal contest behind Laura Dawn Moule, it was at the Miss Lauren-tians competition that Powell earned her ticket to the Miss Canada pageant.There she beat out 46 young women — including Moule.“I knew they all (both contests) led to Miss Canada and that’s where I wanted to be,” said the slim model with the sky-high legs.Chauffeured around town in a stretch limo, accompanied by Miss Sherbrooke Michelle Sévigny and an entourage of promoters, Powell made the rounds of local media before appearing at a civic function at Domaine Howard.And she loved it.“I’ve never been on TV before,” she admitted.Or at least not interviewed.She probably has never had so many free clothes, either.Or free dinners, or free trips.To compensate for the lavish glamor, Powell has to be content with $150 a week (with which she must pay for extravagances like toothpaste).Once her year of duty is up, Powell plans to get to work finishing college, continuing through university until she earn s a master’s degree in business and then — of course — opening a modelling agency She says she likes fashion and business, and being perfectly bilingual (she attended French high school until switching to English at Vanier College) and wants to find a way to combine the two.“I think I can learn so much.” she continued “It’s a great learning experience to meet people with so much influence and to see Canada." Before she tours Canada the jazz, poetry, and photography enthusiast will attend a big bash north of Montreal.“It’s the Laurentians Homecoming," she said with her contagious smile that seems to span three feet.“They’re quite proud of me there.” Meanwhile, Miss Sherbrooke Michelle Sévigny is back to her daycare job.But now she’s considering posing for commercial shots as “a sideline,” she said As well, she’s hoping to participate in high-budget fashion shows in Orlando, Fla.and in Los Angeles, Cal Maybe Sévigny will meet up with Powell in the Townships again As Powell said, “the area is beautiful.” Besides, Powell said, Sévigny and she became fast friends at the Miss Canada pageant : “We had adjoining rooms."

itecora The Voice of the Eastern To^iiships since 1897 Editorial r Lennoxville must Letters Sect members blinded to Bible truths take action fast Lennoxville residents have made a smart move in banding together.By forming a residents’ association they could have much more pull with Council in deciding how the town moves into the future.But they should be careful not to lose sight of their objectives, and the reason for their very existence.If they do, they could see the group simply turn into a forum for disagreement, where no action is taken because no decisions are ever made.Although it’s a good sign that about 75 Lennoxville residents were present at the kickoff meeting Wednesday, it’s important that things begin to flow at a quicker pace at future meetings.The issues under discussion during the meeting were the proposed halting of development in the town, forbidding neon signs and tree cutting.Unfortunately, no decisions or stands were taken on any of these topics, and most topics were met by some kind of disagreement or other.Certainly it is only fair that different sides of each issue be discussed at such events; the point of a citizens’ association should be that opinions be shared by everyone involved But these people must make sure they take a stand on the issues of concern to them and about what road they want to see the town go in, and fast.They mustn’t let themselves fall into petty disagreement.If the residents’ association doesn’t take action, it could see town council make decisions for them on such issues as development right before their eyes, decisions that could take Lennoxville the way of such Laurentian towns as St.Sauveur, an overly expensive tourist town filled with trinket shops and condominiums that lost its small town flavor to big time tourism.That would be the residents’ loss, particularly as its association began with such potential for autonomy, after all, Lennoxville is their home.KOSSANA CORIANDOLI r" Dear Sir, I cannot help wondering if the writer of a recent letter to the editor is a convert of some TV evangelist.Being a member of some sect seems to have the effect of blinding its adherents to the understanding of Bible truths if what they have been taught as Bible truth has really become polluted with error.Jesus said at Matthew 11:25, “I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.” Nowhere in the Bible is there evidence that Jesus ever claimed that he was God, or tried to make himself equal to his Father Jehovah.That was what the super angel who became Satan the Devil by his rebellion, tried to do.As the son of God, Jesus is a god.but not THE GOD.“Who although he was existing in God’s form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to Dog.No.but he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men.” (Philippians 2:6,7).There are sects that believe that Jesus Christ is coming again as a man.He is coming all right, but never again in human form.As the rider on the white horse (Revelation 19) he will come as Jehovah’s executioner to wage war upon Satan and all those who are part of Satan’s worldly organizations.Their carcasses will litter the entire earth to be eaten by the fowls of the air and the beasts of the field There is not much in the book of Revelation that will be good news for the people of Satan’s system of things when Jehovah and His son with their heavenly army will bring to ruin those ruining the earth.(Rev.11:18).There are a great many more people serving Mammon (the god of money-getting) than are willing to serve Jehovah, the God of the Bible Jehovah and His son who will be King of the new government which will rule this planet from heaven, have the only solution to the present world mess, a new system of things.After Armagedon, Satan and his demons will no longer be around to deceive anyone with false teachings, and those who are permitted to sur- Créé and Inuit will get own native courts By Peter Lowrey QUEBE1C (CP) — Cree and Inuit justices of the peace will hear most criminal cases in northern Quebec by 1993, a development that should help natives regain control of crime-plagued communities, the Quebec judge who co-ordinates northern justice said Monday.“It’s important that they regain social control.that it’s not always the white guy from the south who takes care of everything,” Judge Jean-Charles Coutu said in an interview.Coutu oversees the so-called flying circus: four judges plus court officials who visit 21 northern villages inhabited by about 15,000 natives, most of whom still hunt and fish to survive.The Inuit and Cree were promised greater control of their justice system in the 1975 James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, under which natives relin quished territorial rights to lands affected by the giant James Bay hydroelectric development.But it was only two months ago — after Coutu put pressure on the government by suspending operations of his overburdened circuit court — that the Justice Department approved an additional $1.2 million a year for the administration of northern justice.RECEIVED FUNDS The extra money, part of the $1.8-million annual northern-justice budget, will pay for more legal aid lawyers, court clerks and other personnel, as well as for the establishment within five years of the long-awaited local justice authorities.Most villages will get a native JP to handle most cases now taken by southern-based judges, Coutu said.“The way l see it is (southern) judges would be like coaches,” Coutu said from his office in the northwestern Quebec town of Rouyn-Noranda.“If the justices of the peace need help, they could refer to them.” He said southern judges will still hear cases involving serious crimes like murder.And any cases involving juries will continue to be heard in Montreal.Jobie Epoo, mayor of Inukjuak, a village of 9(X) Inuit on the shore of Hudson Bay, said in a radio-telephone interview the new system will help fight the ballooning crime rate."I am in total favor of it.alotof us feel we can make better judgments and prevent crime in the future," Epoo said.FACE DELAYS He complained that under the present system there are six-month delays for hearings on simple crimes like breaking-and-entering “If we start dealing with families and children, we can sit down with them right away and see how they can improve their lives,” Epoo said, adding he favors sentences of unpaid community work instead of fines.All northerners were tried in Montreal until publica-JTJ tion of a 1972 Justice Department report titled Justice 1 Above the 50th Parallel The report said justice would be fairer if brought to villages, where a judge could try to take into consideration the traditions of the people, and defence witnesses would be more available.Coutu.who has worked in the north for 14 years, said the arrival of consumer goods, TV, instant communication and better transportation in the 1970s boosted the crime rate "If there was no alcohol, there would be perhaps 70 per cent less crime.” $00 Al vive can look forward to living safely and happily forever in a New World cleansed of all crime, polution, immorality, sickness, hunger and poverty It is unfortunate, (for them) that so many very good people will have to perish because of putting their trust in Babylon the Great.(Revelation 17:5,6).Could it be that the worldly sects who think they are saved and going to heaven by merely believing in Jesus Christ, will actually find themselves sharing the fate of the goats (Matthew 25) as I am aware I could also very well do?Yours very truly, George Hall R.R.3, Dunham Voters didn’t want NDP An Open Letter to Mr.Mulroney, Parliament Buildings, Ottawa Dear Sir, After watching the TV debates between the political leaders, I was amazed to hear Mr.Mulroney boast that his was the only government to appoint other party members to re present Canada.How many citizens who voted Conservative in the last election feel betrayed by the appointment of Mr.Lewis as representative of Canada at The United Nations.If voters wanted Canada depicted as a socialist country, they would have voted NDP.What is the sense in voting for one party, Mr.Mulroney, if a different party’s policy is to be initiated?How can we again vote Conservative, Mr.Mulroney, when we have just witnessed a Separatist placed in charge of The Protection of Minority Language Rights?If one wanted to be controlled by Separatists, one would have voted for them in the past Que bec Referendum.To appoint Mr.Bou chard to the Language Portfolio, and then have him elected by buying votes in his riding smacks of blackmail Does one buy a fox to guard a chicken house, Mr.Mulroney?That is an insult to all English-speaking Cana dians.Although I voted Conservative in the last election, how could one ratio nalise re-electing the architect of the infamous Meech Lake Accord, which eliminates the civil rights of the En glish-speaking Quebecer — a law to entrench Bill 101 and its racist policy?Who wants to be considered a “NOBO DY” in their own province, Mr Mulroney?Although I believe Free Trade between Canada and the United States would be beneficial, how can I vote for the continuance of a gover nment that would barter the free speech of the English-speaking Que becer in exchange for the Parti Québécois vote?Why not try justice and honesty in government for a change Mr.Mulroney?It might even work! ! Yours truly Ruth Denison Richmond Remembering what the Great War meant to Canada By John Ward The Canadian Press It was 70 years ago, at 11 a m., on the Uth day of the 11th month of 1918, that the guns which had grumbled and thundered across Europe for more than four years fell silent, ending the First World War.Contemporary reports say there were a few last flurries of firing, as men vied to get in the last shot of what was even then being called the Great War.One account tells of a German machine-gunner, secure in his trench, who pointed his weapon skyward and squeezed off an entire belt of bullets at 11 a m He then climbed to the lip of his trench, doffed his cap to his startled former enemies and walked toward the rear of the German lines.For the most part, though, the letters and recollections of those who were there that morning speak only of numb relief at being alive.The final casualty bill was never tallied exactly, but it is estimated that 10 million people died and another 20 million were wounded.Unlike some more recent wars, in which civilians suffered as much as soldiers, the majority of the dead and wounded were in the military.France.Russia.Germany, Austria and Britain saw entire generations of young men decimated.INDUSTRY AT WAR It was the first big technological war, where the energy of the entire industrialized world was focused on the battlefield.Giant cannon shells, rapid fire machine-guns, aircraft, bombs, tanks and poison gas were all used at an unprecedented rate.It was a war in which millions of young men lived — winter and summer, hot and cold, rain and shine — in what were little more than glorified ditches.In some places, the trenches were well-drained and almost comfortable, with deep dugouts for sleeping.In other areas — where the water table was high, for example —- they were dank, slime-bottomed holes filled with rats, lice and disease and reeking with the stench of unburied bodies.Greg Clark, a journalist and popu lar storyteller who died in 1977, ser ved in the 4th Canadian Mounted Rifles.In a CBC interview long after the war.he recalled the horrors of living in the trenches: “As time went by, we had no gar bage disposal, no sewage disposal.Wherever you went, in daylight and at night, the whole place was squeaking and squealing with these huge, monstrous rats living on this garbage.” When the guns stopped churning the mud of Flanders and the chalk fields of the Somme Valley of France, more than 330,000 Canadians were in uni form.More than 60,000 Canadians were dead.They had died in choking clouds of chlorine gas at Ypres.where the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infan try lost more than half its men in a valiant defence against German attacks They died under the lash of machine-guns on the Somme, where the 1st Newfoundland Regiment was an nihilated in one horrible attack July 1, 1916.The regiment charged the Ger man lines that morning with 801 offi cers and men.When the roll was cal led that evening, 710 were dead, wounded or missing.DEATH AT VIMY More than 10,000 Canadians were killed or wounded as they clawed their way to the top of Vimy Ridge and threw the Germans out of a position that had been thought impregnable.More than 15,000 were casualties at Passchendaele, where continuous bombardment wrecked the ancient drainage system of ditches and ca-nais and left men to attack across bottomless bogs of mud.The Canadians were there in victory at Amiens, in the 1918 offensive that broke the German army and marked the beginning of the end.Canadians died in aerial duels over the battlefield, but a young man from Owen Sound, Ont., became the scourge of German airmen.William Avery (Billy) Bishop was credited with shooting down 72 enemy planes, although researchers in recent years have disputed the total.Bishop was a terrible pilot, his fellows said, but a fantastic shot — the kid couldn’t miss.FOUGHT TOGETHER The Canadians fought together in a single corps.Canada's political leaders defied British attempts to use their soldiers as stopgap replacements.A failed Vancouver real-estate salesman named Arthur Currie became a lieutenant-general corps commander and jealous protector of his men against other generals seeking cannon fodder The battle-hardened Canadians eventually became shock troops, used sparingly but against the toughest objectives At home, the war produced deep di- visions, especially over the question of conscription.When the supply of volunteers dried up — the entire popu lation was only eight million — the government sought to draft men as replacements for the battered batta lions in France.Conscription was bitterly opposed in Quebec — where the fighting in Eu rope was seen as Britain’s war — and was imposed only after an election campaign that left Quebecers bitter There were anti-conscription riots in the province and the whole issue left a legacy of distrust and anger.In the end, the conscription law had so many loopholes that only about five per cent of those drafted across the country actually served.CANADA’S PLACE The war gave Canada a new status in the world Prime Minister Sir Ro bert Borden won a place at the peace conference in Versailles in his own right, not simply as leader of a British colony.A Canadian also gave the world what may be the most enduring war poem ever written.Maj.John McCrae of Guelph, Ont.was a doctor with the 1st Canadian Division when it received its baptism of fire at the second battle of Ypres in 1915 During one rest break, the ex hausted physician spent 20 minutes scribbling verses in his notebook.The lines — published in the British magazine Punch later that year — be gan: “In Flanders fields the poppies blow In January 1918, just 10 months be fore the war ended.McCrae died of pneumonia in the field hospital he commanded.r The RKl'ORD—Fridax.November 11.1988—5 History tfl___ttaf fthCCOTu His children tell: 'He placed the child on the ground, and kicked it on its head’ Killer Alexander Burns and the bones in Bolton Township Bernard Epps PART TWO Fourteen year old Simon Burns testified; “I saw my brothers Cindal, James and Freeman get up and look down through the stove-pipe hole on the same night; at the time they got up I heard a child cry.“The cry was like that of a baby that was just born, because it did not cry so loud as mother’s baby; and I then thought that Mary Jane had had a baby, for she told me she was going to have one, and I heard mother tell father not to kill the child, and he thereupon replied that the neighbors would know all about it; mother said she did not care about the neighbors knowing of it.‘It were better that the neighbors should know it,’ she said, ‘than for you to kill the child.’ “Mary Jane said; ‘Don't kill the child; bring back the child and I shall take care of it myself.’ “I heard the door open and mother said; ‘Don’t kill the child!”’ Sixteen year old Cindal said ; “There was a hole in the shingles of the roof and by raising them we could see what was done outside.My two brothers were with me, named Freeman and James.We could see distinctly what passed outside.I saw the child carried out was naked.I could not distinguish whether it was a boy or a girl.“He placed the child upon the ground, and kicked it on its head.“My father wore his boots.” Eleven year old James said; “My father then took the child and he took it outside of the house.We then went to the roof and looked through the shingles, when I saw my father lay the child down on the ground at a short distance from the door, and he then gave it a kick on the head and killed it.“When the child received the kick, I heard it scream.” THE BROOK Cindal again; “He took the child up in both hands after kicking it and took it to the brook.The brook is about four acres from our house.” Mary Jane again; “When he returned, my mother asked him what he had done with it.He made no answer.My mother then said, ‘Burns, have you killed the child?’ “He continued silent and did not go to bed that night.My grandmother was in the room with us but was asleep.She was a very old and feeble person who has since died.“In a few days afterward, I left with my brother Joseph and went to Troy in the state of Vermont.I have not since been home.” James again; “The second morning after that occurrence, I went to the brook to look after minks and saw a hole in the ice that I had not seen before, and I saw some blood near the hole, perhaps two or three drops.” “In the month of May after, I was catching suckers in the brook, and I got hold of a piece of decayed flesh, and threw it back again.I told my father and he asked me if the flesh was white.“I never went back again to look for it because I did not like to.” THE VERDICT The jury was out barely half an hour and their verdict was never in doubt.Judge Aylwin addressed the prisoner in the dock.“Alexander Burns, the atrocity of your crime is such that the details of it are abhorrent to human nature, depraved and fallen as it is.Adultery, incest and child-murder are all revoltingly combined to- gether in your case.“To go into it minutely would be an outrage to our society in which, whoever it has been heard or mentioned, it has inspired horror.Your acts have polluted the land, and you must well know the punishment which awaits you.“Before pronouncing your doom, living in a Christian community, I am bound to tell you that, hard though it may be to believe that a criminal like you is not equally shut out from mercy in both this world and the next, that though to men it may seem impossible, yet to our Maker there is nothing impossible.BY THE NECK.“The sentence of the law is that for the crime and felony of which you stand convicted, you be taken hence to the place from whence you came, and that from there, on Friday the 6th of September, you be brought to the place of public execution, and there hanged by the neck until you are dead.” “Many waited to see him taken from the Court House,” said the Waterloo Advertiser, “where the old ruse of placing a cab at one end of the building, and taking the prisoner out at the front, was resorted to, but numbers saw this great criminal, who, seated upright in the cab, wore his accustomed defiant and sinister expression, one hard to be described yet by those who have beheld it, not easily forgotten.” THE CROWDS “Executions are intended to draw spectators,” said Dr.Samuel Johnson.“If they do not draw spectators, they do not answer their purpose.” But spectators brought pickpockets, hooligans and hawkers, and increasing criticism that public executions turned som- fa \Y >u&f?S Alexander Burns ber warnings into popular entertainments.That Friday morning.September 6th, 1861, was a double attraction because Jesse Patterson, the alcoholic abortionist from Clareneeville.was scheduled to die alongside Burns.New evidence had won Patterson a postponement but 20,000 people show’ed up just the same — many of them children.almost half of them women — and haw kers worked the crow'd with a ballad entitled “Execution of Burns and Patterson." FROM ALL PARTS “From all parts of the surrounding districts,” said the Montreal Witness, “large numbers, by steamboat, railway and other conveyance, entered the city intent on witnessing the execution."To the view of our citizens, the ghastly scaffold had reared its front above the gloomy walls of the prison during some days, ‘a terror to evil-doers’, and as early as seven o’clock .(the execution not being to take place till ten) parties began to arrive in the locality of the prison, near which they stood speculating upon the terrible exhibition which was so soon to meet their gaze, and.by half-past nine o’clock, the large triangular area in front of the jail, as well as the street bordering it on the west, was densely filled and covered with a living mass of human life, as was also every window, roof, chimney, buttress and ‘coin of vantage,’ from whence a view could be obtained of the fatal scene whereon were fixed the eyes of at least twenty thousand curious and excited beholders of both sexes.” CARPENTERS From his condemned cell, Burns had heard the carpenters erecting his scaffold, heard the crowds assembling and calling his name.He now sat in a room about 25 by 35 feet with barred cells on one side and a temporary altar opposite where tapers burned and seven nuns devoutly prayed.He had been baptized and confirmed a Catholic the day before and, soon after eight o’clock, Bishop Bourget arrived with two chaplains to celebrate his first and final mass.At 9, reporters and distinguished guests were allowed in to staxe at the condemned man, then the room was cleared and he was led into the privacy of his cell to receive last rites.THE HANGMAN At ten minutes to ten, Burns was led down to the pinioning room.“Behind him stood the tall figure of the hangman,” said the Witness, “enveloped and cawled from head to foot in a black robe or stole, so that not a feature could be distinguished, not even the hands which were covered with black gloves that brought out in harsh and painful relief the white rope which he held in his moveless grip.“The executioner put the rope over Burns’ head, when the latter requested that it might not be tied too tightly at this time.“Before leaving the room, he intimated tht he wished to speak a few words on the scaffold to the spectators but Father Villeneuve dissuaded him from so doing, requesting him to die as Christ his Saviour had died, in silence, for to address the multitude would only be painful and produce no benefit.With this he resigned himself up, and at once the melancholy procession to the scaffold began; the priests saying in a loud voice the appropriate office.Bums was visibly paler and his lips moved as if in prayer.” THE SCAFFOLD The Montreal Gazette said; “He was then led to the scaffold, the hangman walking beside him with the end of the rope in his hand, and supporting him by the arm.Burns stepped out slowly but firmly, and though very nervous and weak appeared to require little assistance from his supporter.“He mounted the steps to the scaffold, repeating the responses to the prayers of the priests and nuns who accompanied him to its foot and on arriving at the top was immediately placed on the drop facing the street, and the hook at the end of the rope was fastened to a ring in the cross beam.“He thus stood for about three minutes, when the executioner proceeded to draw the bolt to launch him into eternity; but still the drop held firm It was then perceived that the hangman had omitted to remove two scantlings which supported it." BUT.The Witness.“The last prayer was here repeated, and he should have fallen almost immediately, but by a mistake on the part of one of the carpenters.two uprights had been put back under the drop, which circumstance prevented it from falling when the lever was turned.“He was obliged to be taken on J L TTX JJL ~T~ ~T" 1 Si i ,.i.t :l IT \\ I I fVrjL '¦'//j -X (X.V IHm 20,000 people gathered in front of the jail.one side in order that the trap might be permitted to be opened and refastened.The jailer descended to the lower platform to see what was the matter, and some painful moments were passed by all, Burns continually exclaiming in the most fervent manner, ‘Oh, God, have mercy on me!’ “After a few minutes of suspense, the prisoner again took his place on the trap, the voice of prayer once more arose, and at lO'A, the lever being again drawn, he fell heavily a distance of about seven feet.THE RIOT “A smothered cry burst from the multitude below, and he hung for some moments perfectly still.A slight movement of the feet then took place and again he became motionless.” The Gazette, “The rope had somehow slipped — the inner end of the noose being right under the chin so that death was not instantaneous.He struggled for a few moments, kicked out, and his whole body was convulsed.Gradually his struggles ceased.“As he fell with the drop, the crowd in the streets shouted ‘Patterson!’ Patterson!’ and the women in the crowd (and unfortunately there were many), misunderstanding the cry, got frightened and made most desperate attempts to get away.” GURGLING SOUND The Witness; “At that moment, several persons in the crowd called out for Patterson, when the cry was taken up at almost all points, and fiercely reiterated for several minutes, during one portion of which the dying wretch was struggling hard with his feet, his neck now beginning to swell and his chest to heave convulsively, while the fingers of one hand slightly worked and a low gurgling sound was heard in his throat; his eyes, which a few moments before had rolled as if in agony, now fixing in death, and upturned meeting with unwinking, but soulless, gaze the dazzling sun.” The Gazette; “A scene of indescribably confusion ensued Women and children were knocked down and run over; the carriages in the street ran against each other, and five or six were seriously injured; and some people were trampled upon so heavily that their limbs were dislocated, and we understand that several were broken, and the sufferers were removed to Hospital.” The Witness “The scaffold was partially cleared, Father Villeneuve alone, along with one or two others, venturing to remain on a height which might at any moment be the object of a volley of stones.The multitude swayed to and fro like a troubled sea, and then cries for Patterson rose like the sound of angry breakers.LYNCH HIM, LYNCH HIM “Those nearest to the outside of the jail walls, supposing that an attack was intended, pressed backwards and a struggle took place, during which two females passed out at the gate, at a distance from, and to the left of, the scaffold.One of these was supposed to be the hangman in disguise, and a number pursued crying ‘Lynch him! Lynch him!.’ “The disorder at length in some degree subsided, and it was appa rent that the crowd was beginning to drift slowly away at the [joint on St.Mary’s Street.Horses and carriages were pushed about, and some of the later were upset and damaged.“Many in the melee, lost their hats and caps, which after the res toration of order, they were seen seeking for with more or less sue cess.” The Gazette; “A great many articles of dress were lost in the confusion, but af terwards claimed at the Police sta tion, mostly by women from the country .“The disgraceful exhibition of popular depravity which was ma nifested by the crowd about the gallows may tend, we hope, to persuade the authorities of the impoli cy of public executions.” S.V T li tv 4^.‘ The last prayer was here repeated.’ t 6—The RECORD—Friday, November 11.19«x Farm and Business Heconl Hydro Quebec exporting less electricity MONTREAL (CP) — Hydro-Quebec reported net income of $446 million in the first nine months of 1988 compared with $362 million for the same period last year The Crown-owned utility attributed the $84-million increase to the strengthening of the Canadian dollar.But Hydro-Quebec said the volume of total sales decreased by 4.2 per cent compared with the first nine months of 1987.Revenue reached $3.9 billion by the end of the third quarter, a 4.7-per-cent increase over the same period last year.Revenue from exports dropped by $185 million, the company said in a statement released Thursday.The decrease, caused by a decline in deliveries of surplus electricity, was partially offset by an increase in average unit prices, the utility said.A two-billion-kilowatt-hour decrease in sales of surplus electrici- ty in Quebec and a 10-billion-kilowatt-hour decrease in sales of surplus electricity to export markets were cited as the reasons for the decline.The decrease in sales in Quebec is mainly due to the end of some sales contracts for surplus electricity which is not so readily available, the utility said.The volume of firm electricity sales in Quebec rose by 8.4 per cent, an increase of seven billion kilowatt hours over 1987.Revenue from firm electricity sales in Quebec was $3 3 billion at the end of September 1988, an increase of 11.6 per cent from last year.Sales rose eight per cent in the residential and farm sector, mainly because of increased new construction and bad weather.A bolstered economy also contributed to a rise in sales in the industrial and institutional sectors.merican media giant looking for takeovers |EW YORK (AP) — Time Inc.plans to enlarge its entertainment and television operations and ex pand aggressively outside the United States to keep pace with a fo-reign-led consolidation of the media business, company officials said Thursday.J.Richard Munro, company chairman and chief executive, and president N.J.Nicholas Jr.told financial analysts that potential acquisitions or partnerships could include movie or programming production companies, television networks, cable operations or publishing concerns.They refused to be more specific, but Munro cautioned their interest in making deals “doesn’t mean we are going to jump at whatever junk food comes along.” Munro said recent foreign takeovers of big U S.media companies indicates foreigners “are playing a worldwide game” that American concerns must join or find themselves in second place.He said that by the mid-1990s, the media and entertainment industry will “be composed of a limited number of global giants, “Some will be European, some Asian, the rest American .Time Inc.intends to be one of these companies,” he said.Munro said foreign companies have been aided in their effort to become global powers because of the decline in the U S.dollar.Among recent buyouts were the Australian-based News Corp.’s $3 billion US acquisition of the company that publishes TV Guide, and British publisher Robert Max well’s $2.6 billion US purchase of Macmillan Inc.Nicholas said Time was not interested in either of those deals and felt the buyers paid too much.He said Time is looking for companies with a high return or, failing that, a major strategic benefit.Munro said another factor that should contribute to the consolidation of the U.S.media business will be regulatory changes over the next three years.These changes will permit television networks to own cable systems and to own and syndicate their own productions.“Every player in the media-entertainment business — at least every smart one — will be trying to do the same thing: To build enterprises that can lay off the risk of increased production costs over as many worldwide distribution systems as possible,” he said.Time, the biggest U.S.magazine publisher, already has an interest in cable television through its 80 per cent ownership of American Television and Communications Corp., the nation’s second largest cable operator.It is involved in programming through its Home Box Office Inc., the pay television network.Yvon Côté Dollars and Tories up again JOBS IN THE COUNTY JOBS FOR OUR YOUTH RICHMOND-WOLFE on november 21 vote Yvon zi Côté^ Roservpd and cviid hy Daniel Dumas aoeni oifioel do Yvon Cété TORONTO(CP)—Afreshpairof voter surveys suggesting the Conservatives have recovered and are now nec k-and-neck with the Liberals triggered a surge in the value of the Canadian dollar today.The currency hit 81.79 cents US on the London market early this morning, more than a half-cent above Wednesday’s close of 81.19.And in North America, the Canadian dollar opened at 81.54 cents US in a market traders described as highly volatile.“The polls have gotten the limelight,” said Stephen Waterbridge, a foreign exchange specialist with the Bank of Montreal.“They’ve gotten the total attention of the marketplace.” A new Angus Reid poll gives the Tories 39 per cent of the decided vote, versus 35 for the Liberals and 24fortheNDP.About 22 per cent of the respondents were undecided.And an Environics poll places the Liberals in front with 37 per cent, with the Tories close behind at 35 and the New Democrats at 24.The poll said nine per cent of those surveyed were undecided.Taking into account the margins of error, the surveys suggest a tight race as voting day on Nov.21 approaches.Surveys in the last week suggested the anti-free-trade Liberals had dashed far ahead of their rivals, prompting a drop in the dollar’s value.Analysts have said that the greater the popularity of the Liberals among voters, the more downard pressure investors place on the Canadian currency because of fears the Canada-U.S.free-trade pact may be scrapped.The Bank of Canada boosted its bellwhether bank rate by almost a quarter of a percentage point Wednesday — to 10.86 per cent — in defence of the value of the dollar.But Waterbridge said today’s rise in the currency was almost entirely due to the new voter surveys.“I would put it 99 per cent on the polls.“In London this morning, you can bet your bottom dollar they weren’t looking at the bank rate yesterday.They were looking totally at the Angus Reid and Environics polls.” RRSP, QSSP; what you need to know For 1988 and 1989.the annual contribution limit to a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) is the lesser of $7,500 and 20% of earned income provided you are not entitled to benefits under a registered pension plan by reason of your employment in the year, or where you or your employer has not made a contribution to a deferred profit sharing plan i DPSP) of which you are the beneficiary.Otherwise, the maximum contribution is the lesser of $3,500 and 20% of earned income less your contribution to a registered pension plan.Transfers of Retiring Allowance.Often, a person receives an amount on retirement in recognition of long service or for loss of employment.In such cases, $2,000 per year of service with the employer during which you were a member of a registered pension plan(RPP) or DPSP may be transferred to an RRSP.The amount is increased to $3,500 for other years of employment during which you were not a member of an RPP, DPSP or where employer contributions to such plans had not vested.For the 1989 and subsequent years of employment, the amount that may be transferred cannot be greater than $2,000 per year.Payment for accumulated sick leave is eligible for the above transfer.Transfers of Pension Plans.1988 and 1989 are the last two years for transferring amounts received under the Québec pension plan, the old age security plan, a pension plan or a DPSP to an RRSP without affecting your annual limit.For the 1989 to 1994 years inclusively, pension income may be transferred to a spousal RRSP.Québec Stock Savings Plan (QSSP).Following the October 1987 stock “crash”, this plan has lost a lot of its popularity.BÉLANGER HÉBERT The maximum deduction for 1988 is equal to the lesser of 10% of total income and the adjusted cost of sharesd purchased in the year, the $5,500 ceiling has been repealed.However, the $1,000 ceiling with respect to shares of large corporations has been retained.The adjusted cost of shares varies from 50% of the cost of shares of large enterprises to 100% of voting common shares of developing corporations (DC) and 75% of subordinate voting shares.Your broker will provide you with the adjusted cost of the investment you wish to make.The QSSP rules require that you maintain the adjusted cost balance of the shares in the plan during the year of acquisition and the two subsequent years.In the past, when

—______ttcj Jfccccara Being safety conscious will eliminate many harmful situations Farm women’s conference emphasizes need for increased safety vigilance LENNOXVILLE — Farm safety must become part of the life style of a farmer and there’s no magic that will make it happen so farmers have to be aware all the time said the guest speaker at Wednesday’s conference for Farm Women at the Canada Research Station.Daryl Lowry of the farm safety and rehabilitation team at the University of Vermont brought home the necessity of increased vigilance on the farm in the face of rising fatalities and crippling accidents.‘When you consider the whole picture, that is not only the immediate care of a seriously injured producer but the long term requirements of permanent injuries, the cost, financially and phsychologi-cal is staggering.” he said.Lowry who works with families of permanently disabled farmers who must be either re-trained in another field or helped to re-adjust to a totally changed farming environment due to their injuries, speaks with authority and experience.Slides showing how accidents happen as well as the methods and therapy used to get a farmer back onto his machinery or out in his fields were eye-openers.“Farm safety must become part of the life style of a farmer.There is no magic that will make farm safety happen.It has to be a conscious awareness all the time,” Lowry said.“That last patch of corntocut just after dark or as rain starts to fall is hardly worth losing an arm or leg or even a life over.” Lowry emphasised the importance of farm safety especially for women."The role you play as partners and workmates can be very important where safety is concerned.Sometimes a cool approach to a tense situation will do the trick.” Emphasising the need for safety conscious decisions in view of the cost to not only the entire family but the agricultural operation can work wonders, he added.Artificial limbs and modified machinery help to keep a farm family going but the phsychological cost is immense and not everyone’s cup of tea,” Lowry said.Lowry told the women how risks tend to escalate.“The old days of horses gave way to mechanization.At first, tractors and other machinery was small and not too powerful.Lowry explained that today’s machines are designed to give maximum efficient work in the least possible time.And he said farms are larger, markets are more competitive and the pressure is on to produce the best quality crop, whether it is milk or grains, at the lowest cost in the least time.“It’s a perfect setup for tragic accidents,” he said.“Farm safety is more important now than ever.” Respiratorial diseases seem more common too, he said.Farmer's Lung, a disease that has been around quite a while is now becoming more common due to the growing use of herbicides and insecticides.There are more cereals used and even dust from lime and fertilizers can be toxic to some An investment in a respirator can stop chances of lung disease or damage before it starts.There are also free flow safety helmets which filter air being inhaled.Both are relatively cheap when one considers the long term advantages of steering clear of Farmer’s Lung.There are many areas to consider when a safety check is begun.“Starting with your buildings is a good idea.Clearing out trash, checking electrical wiring, fixing broken stairs or floors, patching up cracked concrete, installing adequate lighting, etc can be the first step,” Lowry explained.“Animal facilities are another dangerous area.Pens, gates, chutes and lot fences must be sturdy.Closures should be dependable and gates and doors closed after passage,” he said.“Feeding equipment should have all shields in place and loading troughs and augurs covered with grating.The check list should cover every possible accident site.” Lowry’s list covered everything everything from grain and silo storage structures, the work shop and machinery storage buildings must be examined with a fine tooth comb.“Look into your farm machinery situation.Make sure manuals are available for referral when common sense doesn't have the answers,” he said.“Fuel storage must meet local regulations but Daryl Lowry is thanked by Blanche French (Aubrey) this week.Formerly from the Sawyerville area, for his presentations on farm safety at the Eastern Lowry is now a farm safety expert at the University of Townships Farm Women for Survival conference Vermont.here too, common sense will be a dependable guide.” “Surprisingly ladders are a major cause of serious accident," he added.“Being safety conscious around such things will eliminate many situations that could cause harm.Of course, the house and yard is another area to take a look at,” he said.Lowry encouraged farmers and/ or their partners to take the time to follow through on a careful safety check, “then you will have élimina ted a major number of possibilities for serious or fatal injury.The women were shown slides and given demonstrations by a Sherbrooke hospital nurse who gave accounts of dealing with farm accident victims.Graphic pictures gave her presentation an impact that will long be remembered and brought home the necessity for increased vigilance on the farm more than ever This was the fifth farm women’s conference and according to organizers one of the best.“We are more than pleased with our choice of speakers," organizer Brenda Thomas said later.“Daryl Lowry has been here two years running and judging by the reaction of these women who are going home with a firm resolve to do something about improving safety on their farm.I’d say today has been pretty successful ” Drought causes slow season in Canada’s most northern seaport By Darlene Rude This year the northern port of Churchill had its slowest shipping season since the Second World War, and its giant grain elevator was idle most of the time.But port supporters say, “Wait till next year.” CHURCHILL, Man.(CP) —With brisk assembly-line efficiency, the wheat-loaded boxcars pass through Churchill’s giant grain elevator, spilling their precious Prairie cargoes.Secured on an unloading platform, the cars are tipped back and forth, each 55-tonne load draining like a box of corn flakes torn open at both ends.Modern technology makes it a five-minute job — neat, incredibly fast and this year, frustratingly futile.“On a good day we can do over 180 cars in an eight-hour period,” yells operations manager Alan Johnson over the whoosh of falling wheat.But this year only 1,000 carloads of grain will arrive at the cement-grey terminal, located 900 kilometres north of Winnipeg on the scrabbly, tundra-lined shores of Hudson Bay.So far only two ships have sidled up to the port this year, picking up a meagre 47,500 tonnes of grain.Two of the four unloading platforms sit unused, coated by the clouds of grain dust that float up toward a fog-colored Arctic sky ONE OF WORST “We’ve had some good years,” Johnson said.“This is just one of the worst years, that’s all.” F or Canada’s most northern seaport and its towering grain terminal, the slowest season since the Second World War is part of a controversy that has swirled for more than a century."Every year you have the same story, you’ve got to fight for the port, you’ve got to fight for every ship,” said John Hrominchuk, head of Churchill’s Chamber of Commerce.“It’s a political port and it seems to be a political issue every year.” It took more than 50 years of on-again, off-again lobbying before Prairie farmers’ dreams of a northern grain route flowered in 1931 with the opening of a facility in Churchill.Exports of wheat and barley fluctuated widely through the years, peaking in 1977 at 735,000 tonnes.ASSESSES BLAME Governments, the Canadian Wheat Board and the grain companies are to blame for the port’s declining fortunes, says Mark Inger-brigston, mayor of this town of 1,200.Grain companies have never been eager to export through Churchill, preferring to use their own terminals at Thunder Bay, Ont., Vancouver and, more recently, brand-new facilities at Prince Rupert, B.C.Moreover, fully loaded hopper cars can’t be used to transport grain north because of an unstable rail line that bends and dips over northern Manitoba’s permafrost.CN Rail, which owns the track, estimates renovations would cost $105 million.The wheat board, which sells Prairie grain overseas, has long argued Canada’s grain customers decide where they want to pick up grain and that few are interested in going to Churchill.The shallow harbor can handle Some Canadians dont have the

Croup mom non ou* txKUBKt only smaller ships and the shipping season is short — roughly three months, depending on winter’s arrival.In recent years, more of the Prairie grain crop has moved through West Coast ports, to the detriment of both Churchill and Thunder Bay.GRAIN POLITICS “It’s part of the politics — grain politics,” Ingerbrigston said.“The fact that the terminal is not owned by one of the grain companies is a detriment to business.” Proponents say the port saves as much as $22 per tonne of grain in shipping costs over southern routes and that only 700,000 tonnes of grain — or two per cent of Canadian exports — are needed for the port to pay for itself.This year Ottawa refused re- quests by Manitoba politicians for a guaranteed minimum of grain exports through Churchill, saying it can’t tell the wheat board’s customers where to pick up grain.Instead the federal government promised $3 million in port improvements and blamed this year’s export shortfall on the summer’s crop-wrecking drought.NURSES (bilingual) Does life and work in Canada's North intrigue you?INFORMATION, VIDEO, SLIDES Soon in Sherbrooke.Call collect: 1-(514)-4W-ÎÎ5Î l-(Slf)-M6-37M For information on

The photographer looked shocked but she followed my sister’s instructions.I hope this letter will encourage people to be more sensitive to and accepting of the needs of special children.Also, maybe an enterprising photographer somewhere will make an attempt to reach these parents who don’t have professional pictures taken because they are too uncomfortable.Thank you for this forum, Ann-.Sign me - Aunt Linda from San Diego.Dear Aunt Linda: Bless you for making an excellent point.A true- to-life portrait of a special child can be a wonderful way to educate family and friends.When they see that you accept the child as he or she is, it helps them to do so also.Everybody wins.Dear Ann Landers : I realize that this isn’t an earth-shattering problem, but am 1 the only one who wonders why so many men let their eyebrows go haywire?The late Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev was one of the most outrageous examples, but one sees many others with long stray hairs sticking straight out, or hanging down in front of their eyes.Why don’t their barbers suggest an eyebrow trim when they give haircuts?— Bloomington, Ind.Dear Bloom: Did it ever occur to you that s -me people might like that look?Bushy brows suggest virility and individualism.Mark Twain had wonderfully wild eyebrows.So did John L.Lewis and Judge Learned Hand.Congressman Jim Wright of Texas has them, and so do Pierre Salinger, James Whitmore and Michael Dukakis.And there ain’t no flies on them.Social notes Golden Age Club meets WATERLOO — On October 24 there was a good attendance of Golden Age Club members at the Legion Hall.President Carlton Ladd welcomed all, including two visitors, Josie Curtis and Ina Neil.Secretary Afton McCutcheon read her report, also a thank you note.Carlton made several announcements, one being the date of the Christmas dinner, this to be December 14.A card was signed by all for Mrs.Nellie Daigle whose 90th birthday will be Nov.2nd.While all were enjoying refreshments, a candle lit cake was presented to her and Happy Birthday sung, also to others having had birthdays a few days ago, these including Nellie Darling, Edna Ledoux and Alice Ashton.500 was played at 16 tables with 10 at game tables.Prizes to those with highest scores were taken by Hilda Marsh, 4440;

U—The KK< ORD—Friday.November 11.1988 Sports Ministry wants to make sure meals are all legal As the hunting season booms on and more and more restaurants, hotels and dinner organizers feature meals said to be cooked from wild game, the Quebec Ministry of Hunting and Fishing wants to make sure everything is legal.The rules strictly forbid the sale of game meat under virtually any circumstances.This includes the meat of moose, caribou, deer, muskox (ugh!), grouse, partridge and ptarmigan.The meat of some trapped animals, including hare, bear and beaver, may be sold un der certain conditions • That the animal have been taken legally; • That the meat is sold only between three days after the hunting or trapping season opens for that species and fifteen days after it ends.Federal conservation law forbids any sale of meat from migratory birds including ducks and geese.On the other hand restaurants may serve several wild species which do not occur naturally in Quebec but which are either raised on so-called game farms in the province or brought here from outside.These include boar, mule deer, fallow deer and pheasant.Of course anyone who thinks they have been offered illegal meat should call the provincial game wardens' 24-hour toll-free poaching hotline at 1-800-463-2191 KNDANGERED SPECIES The survival of more than a thousand species of bird is endangered, according to figures in a new book by World Wildlife Fund co-founder Guy Mountford.In Hare Birds of the World Mount-ford says that over the last ten years the number of endangered species has risen 400 per cent, from 290 to 1029.In most cases he blames human activity, notably massive clear-cutting of tropical rainforests, for the progressive extinction of some species.Mountford also attacks international black markets in rare birds and colorful feathers, and collectors who covet rare birds and their parts.Museums often bribe third-world conservation officers to obtain especially-rare species, he says.Eighty-five years ago there were birds but no airplanes, Mountford points out.Today Great outdoors By REAL HEBERT there are more than 6000 different types of aircraft,

basketball By Scott David Harrison When the Gaiters run onto the LENNOXVILLE — It’s a two- new- slfck' hardwood surface at for-one weekend for the Bishop’s *he University s sports centre.Gaiters basketball team.they’ll have more than the obvious Head coach Eddie Pomykala says he needs players like Pierre Tiblin to come to the forefront if the Gaiters want to get the ball rolling.S.¦ ¦ mgSjmi reasons for wanting to win their encounter with the York Yeomen (Friday 7 p.m ).In an unprecedented move, this weekend’s game will count for both the league standings and the McGill invitational tournament.The move put a smile on head coach Eddie Pomykala’s face, after all, his team will be playing in front of the home-town crowd with the two-for-one arrangement.Despite this advantage, Pomykala doesn’t think the game is necessarily in the bag.Although two weeks ago Pomykala thought his troops were at their peak for the McGill tourney, he humbly admitted his thinking has somewhat changed.“To be honest,” he said, “we didn’t have a great week of practice.” The Gaiters have been sitting idle for two weeks and last saw play in the Concordia Invitational where they won the consolation round.Since that time they have been confined to the gym and long, sweaty practices.Pomykala said he fears the team may have lost their momentum as a result of their 12-day hiatas.“(The layoff) should, in one aspect, be good because we’ll be well rested and we won’t be tired,” he said, “but the problem could be in losing our competitive edge.” “We’re not going to win on Friday because we show up,” said Pomykala stressing that although the Gaiters have beaten York this year 86-62, the Yeoman are no slouches on the basketball court.“We have to renew our commitment to execute and play as a team,” he said almost Reverendlike.Pomykala said that the Yeomen have improved considerably since the two teams opening season contest.And although York lost by.a nickel to McGill, and one to nationally-ranked Waterloo, the Yeomen won’t roll over and play dead in Bishops’ backyard.“They’ve got a better team since (the first game) and we re expecting a better team,” he said.Without having to pull rabbits out of a hat, Pomykala said he’ll look for the team’s key players to bump-off the win-starved Yeomen, The nucleus, to the hyper Pomky-kala, includes Warren Newberry, Jeff Harris(a pitbull in high-topsi Scott Wilson, David Clemens, Pierre Tibblin and David King.“Those are the people lean count on, on a daily basis, to play at a very high level,” Pomykala said about the aforementioned athletes.The game, and the rest of the tournament which takes place in Montreal, is the first of a guaranteed three games for the Gaiters.In the round-robin affair, Bishop’s finds itself in one of the tougher draws.They’ll start the tourney with the game against York and denpending on the outcome, will face either Concordia or University of Prince Edward Island.The other side of the draw has the host team McGill, Carleton, Guelph and Leftbridge battling it out.The Gaiters, who are the defending champions of the tournament, know they have their work cut out for them.“(We’ll have to play) three outstanding games,” said Pomykala, “We have not played three outstanding games this year It’s a difficult task, but we’ve done it before,” Cougars make football all-star selection By Bruce Madarlane LENNOXVILLE — As the tradition continues, coaches from the CEGEP’AAA’ football program get together after the regular season to discuss conference all-stars.Earlier this week all head coaches from the seven teams gathered around a conference table to discuss this year’s all stars.Three members of the Champlain Cougars’ were selected as all-stars.Two players come from the defensive side of the field, while only one player was selected from the offence.Running back Robert Pinazza was selected as an all-star.The St-Lconard resident carried the ball 143 times this season for a total of 1027 yards.Pinazza averaged over seven yards a carry He scored 10 touchdowns for the Cougars.Not only does Pinazza receive an all-star award but his name is entered into the Chamnplain record books.Pinazza broke the school rushing record by four yards.The previous record holder was Dennis Walker.The Cowansville resident rushed for 1023 yards in the 1983 season.Pinazza was just 60 yards short of the league record.In 1981.André Caron rushed for 1087 yards for the Diablos de Trois Rivéres.The other two Cougar all-stars were selected from Tony Addona’s linebacking corps.Co-Captain Mario Delage picks up the honors un der the line backer category.The third all-star from Champlain is “Outlaw” Tony Clarke.Clarke terrorized quarterbacks for three games before he broke his humeurs bone in his upper right arm.Clarke sustained his injury late in the first half during the Cham-plain-St-Georges game during the third week of the season.Clarke picked off a pass a ran into the end zone.As he crossed the goal line, a Condor player rammed into him forcing him to hit the grass like a ton of bricks smacking the pavement.“I’m kinda of shocked,” said Tony Clarke.“I thought you had to play four games in order to be nominated.” Clarke’s plans for next season are to remain in Lennoxville, but to sport the purple and white colors for Ian Breck and his Gaiters.“Hopefully, I can play next season at Bishop’s, but I have to get back into shape especially my arm,” said the 20 year old Toronto resident.Every year before the Provincial Championship game (Bol d’Or), a huge reception is held for the all-stars and coaching staff.This year the evening gala has been cancelled because the main sponsor.Federation des Producteurs de Lait withdrew their sponsorship.A press-conference has been slated for sometime next week to announce the all-stars.Sport shorts By Robert Fisher Special to The Record SHERBROOKE Well-known former sportswriter, sports editor, news writer, assistant

The RECORI»—Friday.November 11.19HH-15 Sports Breck likes being the underdog By Scott David Harrison LENNOXVILLE — The standard question in Bishop’s Gaiters football circles this week is, “What about Chris Flynn?” The standard response is, “Ya, what about him.” As much as the Gaiter coaching staff has tried to down play the Chris Flynn issue, the former ace quarterback of the Champlain Cougars is topic No.1 amongst Gaiter-faithfuls.“We’re not playing against Chris Flynn,” rightfully insisted Gaiters’ head coach Ian Breck.“We re playing against the St.Mary’s Huskies.” WATER UNDER THE BRIDGE “When Chris decided to go to St.Mary’s (instead of Bishop’s), yes there were some hard feelings, but that was two years ago,” Breck said.There’s a lot of water under the bridge, to use that old cliché, since then.” That in mind, the Gaiters are facing the toughest challenge of their 1988 season — a challenge which includes Flynn.St.Mary’s has been No.1 in the nation ever since Queen’s beat the McGill Redmen Sept.24.And rightfully so.The Huskies have won every game they’ve played this season, including last week’s Atlantic Unversity Athletic Asso-cation 37-35 championship win over the Acadia Axemen.It’s a voyage to the unknown — of sorts — for the Ontario-Quebec Interuniversity Football Conference title holders.Their first close up look at the Huskies came this week, thanks to the CIAU’s film-exchange program.SORTA THIS, SORTA THAT The only comparisons coaches draw from the film falls in the ‘sor-ta category’.They ‘sorta’ look like this and they sorta’ look like that.No defi-nites, just maybes and so-mewhere-in-betweens.The only definite is the Gaiters will have to improve on their 16-7 win of last week, meaning they’ll have to play 60 solid minutes of football instead of 40 minutes and change.Offensive co-ordinator Phil Charron says he knows the Huskies will key on Bishop’s running game, but he’s confident Keith Kelly and Dennis Walker will be up for the test.The fleet-footed Kelly, who ran for 136-yards last week against Queen’s on a soggy field will be back on the surface he loves —- arti-fical turf.The last time Kelly played on the plastic surface he racked up 193 yards, including a 73-yard touchdown run.The hard-nosed, crawl-an-extra-inch Walker rambled for 72 yards of his owm last week.And while he's assumed the secondary role in the backfield, he’s capable of making St.Mary’s fans cry, should he break free.BEST VERSUS BEST What the battle comes down to is the country’s best offence, versus the country’s best defence.“We feel that the O-QIFC is the best conference in the country,” Breck said.“We are champions of that conference.” “We’re not only playing in their backyard, we’re playing their home stadium,” Breck said, adding that the Huskies are also worthy champions.Breck knows his team is the underdog.But when the Gaiters trot onto the field at 1:30 Halifax time, Breck says he'll be comfortable just the same.“We love being the underdog." he smiled.“We think we have a mission to win this game and play again next week.” “If they can’t play with us, that's their problem.” GAME NOTES All-Canadian A1 Matheson will be out of the Gaiter lineup this weekend because of an injury he suffered last week.Matheson dislocated his shoulder in the Queen’s game.Like the regular season’s 40-man roster limit, the Gaiters will be four men short for Saturday s contest.According to the CI AU, teams can only dress 36 men for bowl games and the Vanier Cup final.The decision is unpopular with Breck.: # g! I .The Gaiters’ Keith Kelly will be back on the astro-turf that he loves.Blugh only CI AU awards pick TORONTO (CP) — Dan Farthing, the top rookie in Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union football last year, beat the sophomore jinx and was nominated Thursday as a candidate for the Hec Crighton trophy as the country’s outstanding college player.Farthing, a wide receiver with the Saskatchewan Huskies, was nominated along with Chris Flynn, the second year quarterback of the St.Mary’s Huskies.Farthing beat out Flynn in ’87 for top rookie honors.St.Mary’s, the No.1-ranked team in the country, was one of three teams to garner two nomina- tions.Guelph University quarterback Mike Shoemaker and wide receiver Jock Climie of Queen’s completed the balloting by CIAU coaches for the outstanding player award.Nominees from each of the four Canadian university football conferences were announced.Winners in four categories — outstanding player, top offensive lineman, top defensive player and outstanding rookie — will be named Nov.17 as a prelude to the Vanier Cup game, Saturday, Nov.19 at Varsity Stadium in Toronto.Chuck Sims of the Guelph Gry- And meanwhile back in the Central meeting.By Bruce Cheadle The Canadian Press Three years in Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union football can be a lifetime, but for Paul Ker-ber, 1985 is still fresh in his mind.Kerber was an offensive lineman with the Vanier Cup-winning Calgary Dinosaurs that year.This weekend he’ll travel to London, Ont., as a veteran member of the Dinosaurs for a rematch of the ’85 national championship.The Western Mustangs play host to Calgary in one of two CIAU bowl games Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.EST on TSN).Western lost the 1986 Vanier Cup contest in a 25-23 squeeker to the UBC Thunderbirds, but Kerber believes the sting of the earlier 1985 loss will still be fresh in the Mustangs locker-room.“They hold a big grudge against us,” said the WIFE all-star.“I think they have something to prove.” Calgary beat Western 24-6 that November day.The two teams haven't met since.PLAYED DOWN Larry Haylor, head coach of the Mustangs, played down the rivalry Thursday.Western has won the Ontario championship eight of the past 10 years and has been in four Vanier Cup games during that span Without winning a national title.“I think the bridesmaid syndrome has too often been focused on by the media,” said Haylor "We haven’t really lost Vanier Cups,” he said.“The other team has won them.” Western capitalized on eight turnovers by the Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks last Saturday to claim the OUAA championship in a downpour.Haylor said his team plays a simple brand of football and capitalizes on the errors of the opposition.Calgary recorded over 4,000 yards offence this season, with quarterback Bob Torrance throwing for 2,199 yards.Running back J.P.Izquierdo rushed for 729 yards and 12 touchdowns — tops in the CIAU — and veteran wide receiver Dave Brown caught 35 passes for 642 yards and eight touchdowns.The Dinosaur offensive line has four WIFL all-stars and averages over 250 pounds.“They’re certainly as good as any offence in Canada, and they have the trigger man in Torrance to make it go,” said Haylor.“But I think our defence has gotten us here and we’re certainly not intimidated by them.” phons led the list of rookie nominees for the Peter Gorman trophy.Sims, an 18-year-old tailback from Deep River, Ont., chalked up 911 total yards and six touchdowns in six games with the Gryphons.He is joined by Mount Allison running back Grant Keaney, defensive lineman Dave Lewis of the University of Ottawa and Manitoba defensive back Brad Freund as rookie nominees.“I come from a pretty small town,” said Sims with a wide grin.“This is all new to me.” Nose tackle Byron McCorkell joined teammate Farthing among nominees from Saskatchewan.The 260-pound native of Saskatoon was picked as the WIFL representative for the J.P.Metras trophy for outstanding lineman.Scott Nicholson, a nose tackle for the Acadia Axemen, offensive guard Paul Vadja of Concordia and Wilfrid Laurier defensive end Ve-ron Stiliadis are the other nominees as top lineman.Huskies linebacker Scott Dunthorpe, a 24-year-old Ottawa native, will compete with Leroy Blugh of Bishop’s, Larry Vaughan of the University of Waterloo and Mark Singer of Alberta for defensive player honors.Blugh, a nominee in 1987 for top rookie, and Singer are linebackers and Vaughn is a defensive back.Two of the top university teams in the country —‘the Western Mustangs and the Calgary Dinosaurs — were shut out of the player nominations.Western and Calgary meet in London.Ont., on Saturday in the Central Bowl for the right to advance to the Vanier Cup.The Atlantic Bowl goes Saturday in Halifax with St.Mary’s playing Bishop’s.—____ftÇl KBcam Homecoming of sorts for Flynn and Gaiters in Atlantic Bowl 0) By Scott David Harrison “Introducing the starting offence for the Bishop’s University Gaiters.and starting at quarterback.No.1, Chris Flynn." That’s the way many of Lennoxville’s footballing faithful expected things to go two years ago.Hell, even the Gaiters’ coaching staff was rolling out the red carpet for hardy muscle-bound kid from Buckingham.All the pieces were to have fallen in the right places.After a briliant CEGEP career, which inclu ded two provincial championship Bol D’Ors, a pair of all-star selections and the shattering of virtually every college record in existence, Chris Flynn was Bishop's bound It was the natural thing to do.Start with the Cougars and move on to bigger and better things across campus.Flynn, who was easily the best quarterback at the CEGEP level, wined and dined with members of the Gaiters and all but gave his word that he’d be playing university football at the Gaiterdome.Being the hottest prospect in unversity football, Flynn had a decision to make: Bishop’s, St.Mary’s or any of the dozens of teams that wanted the brash young athlete to be throwing bullets for them, instead of against them.History tells us Flynn opted for the St.Mary’s Huskies, much to the dismay of the local crowd.The maybes and whys he chose the Huskies over the ‘country-club-crew’ may never be answered but Flynn has no regrets for making, what at that time, was the toughest decision of his life.“Yeah, I made the right decision,” he said Thrus-day.“I’m playing with a great football team and I’ve got a great bunch of receivers.“And then there’s the city.The people love Huskies’ football and they’re behind us all the time.” Flynn does to university quarterbacking what Beethoven did for a symphony.He’s football’s equivalent to a brain surgeon as he painstakingly cuts through a delicately-designed defence.He departs from the surgeon only because he's not going to give a hand putting the bandages on wounded egos Comparing the talents of Flynn to those of McGill's Mike Soles or Queen’s University's Jock Climie, just can’t be done, according to the man who may quickly gray Saturday afternoon.Gaiters' defensive co-ordinator Tom Allen "It’s a different kettle of fish,” said Allen."Chris Flynn can throw the ball and run with it.The ap proach (to stopping him» is the same as a Soles or a Climie "It’s the same defence, but we made some technical changes on how our guys will be getting (to Flynn).“One thing you have to do with Chris Flynn," explained Allen, “is tackle him.If you think that you're going to bring him down with one arm He’s too shifty for that." Flynn knows this is more than just another football game and without mentioning the word ‘grudge’, he said the Gaiters will be going all out to try to make him look bad.Something along the lines of: "Gee Chris, you should have gone to Bishop's " “I guess it’s different than any other game because it’s Bishop’s,” Flynn said "1 know a lot of them pretty well from the two years 1 played at Champlain.“It’s a funny feeling playing against Bishop’s," Flynn went on, referring to the brouhaha that surrounded his decision to go East “I guess a lot of people want to show me that 1 should have gone (to Bishop’s), but at the same time, I want to show them why I came here.” The Atlantic league’s Most Valuable Player this season, Flynn also acknowledged that he knows a lot less about the Gaiters than he would like to.All he knows is the obvious.“They got one hell of a defence," he said, adding that he’s eager to play against the best defence in the nation.“Their defence has brought them this far " Not to be outdone, the St Mary’s offence may just be the toughest the Gaiters have faced, what with Flynn’s rocket-like arm, rabbit like speed and cat like instincts.“I wouldn’t say we have the best offence in the country,” he said, “but we definately have one of the best.” The Gaiters say they’re hoping to exploit on Flynn’s selfish 1-want-to-do-it-all attitude to the hilt In response, Flynn simply says that was the old Chris Flynn.“Well, I hope I have matured,” he said If I didn't, I wouldn’t have the stats I do.“I never had stats like I had this year.” he said.“That must mean something.” What it means is there are still a lot of broken hearts over the young athlete’s decision to head to St Mary’s.And you can’t help thinking that deep down the heart of Chris Flynn has also been wounded.“If 1 wasn’t playing football the one team I’d like to see win the Vanier Cup is Bishop’s,” he said.“But I'm playing.” Ü Chris Flynn would like to see Bishop’s win but.Iji 9* , % V LIBERAL NO To the Free-Trade Deal To guarantee Canada's Sovereignty ANDRÉ BACHAND AMAN OF ACTION!
