Pal, 22, arrived at Mirabel International Airport Jan.1, the day the immigration policies came into effect.Last Friday, he appeared before a two-member immigration panel, which decided his testimony was vague and contradictory.Under the new system, two-member panels evaluate a claim.One panel member is an Immigration Canada adjudicator, the other a representatvie of the new Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada, which is independent of the Immigration Department.If both board members agree a claim is bogus, they have the power to order the person deported within 72 hours.Weigel replaced Pal’s previous lawyer."One way or another, he will be in trouble with the Indian authorities when he gets back,’’ said Weigel.By Paul Mooney OTTAWA (CP) — Billions of dollars worth of weapons containing Canadian parts are sold to countries that commit gross human-rights violations, the Canadian peace group Project Ploughshares says.The countries include Haiti, Iran, Libya and Paraguay, the group says.The disarmament research and publishing network of the Canadian churches recently released data on Canadian components that found their way into Third World arsenals through other countries between 1985 and 1987.The group estimates that $150 million to $200 million worth of Canadian arms components find their way into the Third World annually through other countries, many going to nations with dismal human rights records.The figure doesn't include arms and weapons parts Canada sells directly to other countries.“We need stricter end-user controls," Ploughshares researcher Ken Epps said in a telephone interview Monday.“The government can’t continue to bury its head in the sand when it can so easily be demonstrated that the parts are going to countries that consistently violate human rights or are at war.” External Affairs Department officials could not be reached Monday for comment.Iran and South Korea use BGM-71A TOW anti-tank missiles purchased from the United States.The remote-control system for the missiles is manufactured by Ernst Leitz Canada Ltd.of Midland, Ont.Ploughshares says.ENGINES TO LIBYA Brazil has sold trainer, transport and patrol aircraft to the Libyan air force.The engines are manufactured by Pratt and Whitney Canada of Montreal.Pratt and Whitney engines are also used in the S-211 attack aircraft Italy sold to Haiti and Zaire Big Mamma ^ m jpffMfl fi rïêt'Æ / iiteiiii \ ) RhCORI)'GRANT StMKON Mother Nature has been in a bad mood for the last women have since been putting back together.Hy-few days, lashing out her fury with windstorms cau- dro-Sherbrooke and Hydro-Quebec had the bulk of sing minor destruction throughout the Eastern their repairs up-to-date hy late Monday, Townships.Meanwhile at an Ascot Township quarry, a garage What Big Mamma blew asunder, crews of men and was being pul back together.Turn the page for more.Private truckers volunteer for random drug tests TORONTO (CP) - When Northern Telecom Canada truck drivers are screened for alcohol and drugs later this month, they will become leaders among private-sector employees who have volunteered for random testing.The drivers are the first group in Canadian trucking to take part in the testing — 94 per cent of the company's drivers volunteered to be screened.They are believed to be the first group of employees in Canadian private industry to initiate and develop testing for substance abuse, said Bruce Cunningham of Ontario’s Addiction Research Foundation.Under the plan, a driver who exceeds acceptable levels for alcohol or any of several drugs—including marijuana — will be removed from driving duty and reassigned.Drivers cannot resume driving until tests show they are free of the substance and they satisfy a doctor that they are fit to drive.Fitness may include completion of drug counselling.“This is not a shoot-and-destroy mission," said Bob Quinn, safety supervisor for Northern’s Quebec-based drivers and part of the committee that developed the drug testing project for the manufacturing giant which produces telephones and electronics equipments.“We’re not out to fire anybody who tests positive." The program is voluntary because mandatory drug testing of employees or job applicants is considered a violation of human rights law in Canada Under the program, to cost an estimated $30,000 a year, even trace amounts of cocaine, barbiturates and amphetamines will be considered unacceptable The al cohol limit has been set at one quarter the Criminal Code's standard of 80 milligrams of alcohol per 100 millilitres of blood.Any driver's urine test that shows 30 parts per billion of marijuana — a relatively low level — will be considered positive.Every two months, the names of Northern's participating drivers will be thrown into a hat A committee that includes Quinn and Ernest Diotte, safety supervisor of Northern drivers based in Ontario, will draw several names, keeping the selections secret On any given day in the following two months, a supervisor will ask one of the chosen drivers for a urine sample The day and time of the test is at the supervisor's discretion.There is no opportunity to tarn per with the investigation.Quinn said, because the urine sample must be submitted on the spot and will be sent immediately to a lab in and the AB 412 Griffon helicopters the Italians sold to Uganda.The Montreal firm also makes the engines used in the Bell Model 412 helicopters the United States sells to Honduras and the 1AI-201 transport aircraft Israel sells to the military dictatorship in Paraguay.Canadian parts are used in M 113 armored personnel carriers the United States sells to Costa Rica.Egypt, Pakistan, and Peru.They’re also found in the M-198155-mm towed howitzers the Americans sell to Bahrain, Egypt, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Thailand and Tunisia and the M-60-A3 battle tank they sell to Bahrain and Egypt.Louise Boutin, spokesman for Pratt and Whitney, said the company always follows Canadian law.“Nothing leaves this company for another country without a permit from the Canadian government,'' she said in a telephone interview from Montreal.“When we export engines, it's with the permission of our own government.” Asked if the company is concerned that Pratt and Whitney products wind up in military dictatorships or countries at war, Boutin replied : ' I can't answer that.1 don't want to get into that type of debate.It’s got nothing to do with our business, per se." Conseil du patronat poll: One in three: language situation will worsen MONTREAL (CP) — Concern is mounting among members of Que bee’s largest employers' group that the political climate will worsen in the wake of recent amendments to the province's language law, a survey suggests.A poll taken by the Conseil du patronat in December indicates 34 per cent of respondents believe the situation will worsen.Last June a Conseil poll indicated that six per cent of respondents thought the situation would deteriorate.The survey, released Monday, indicated that 61 per cent of Conseil corporate members think the poli tical climate will stay the same, while five per cent said it will improve.The remaining 34 per cent said it will worsen in the next six months.Conseil chairman Ghislain Du four attributed the 34-per-cent fi gure to the language battle that erupted after Dec.15, when the Supreme Court of Canada struck down the French-only sign provisions of the province’s language law.Premier Robert Bourassa then passed amendments to the law continuing a ban on languages other than French on exterior store signs, while allowing bilingual signs indoors as long as French is "markedly predominant.” “We’ve never had this height of concern” with the political cli mate, Dufour told reporters, no ting it was the 26th membership poll.“It fell right in the middle of the linguistic debate," he said.“It’s tiring.especially when our preoccupation now should be how to meet American competition.” PRESERVE PEACE Dufour said his group favors freedom of expression in commercial signs, but hopes outside signs will stay only French to preserve social harmony.About 70 per cent of the group’s members are francophone.He added he doesn’t believe the controversy will reduce the level of investment, which plunged during the nationalistic fervor of the 1970s.By language, 92 per cent of francophone respondents felt the cur rent political climate in Quebec is good or very good, compared with only 53 per cent of anglophones.But 34 per cent of both said the situation will worsen.Dufour said he doesn’t believe Quebec businesses will disobey the law, as some anglophones have called for.“We live in a democratic society ; we have to respect a law even if we disagree with it, like we expect unions to obey the law.” In other questions, the respondents, representing 171 firms, said the federal and provincial governments should concentrate this year on reducing deficits and controlling public spending.Dufour said these concerns are related to their biggest concern — high interest rates.Ninety-three per cent of respondents were satisfied with general economic conditions.Language watchdog: Job where you please no one a locked box.Most of the company’s drivers want drug testing for their own peace of mind, Quinn said, and to dispel a public image they consider false."We re tired of the perception that drivers are drunken slobs, running people over on the highways," he said A driver can expect to be tested at least once a year.If he or she tests positive, only the immediate supervisor and the doctor chosen by the drivers to oversee the project will be notified.Northern s drivers — who haul equipment ranging from batteries and telephones to heavy-duty cables — frequently cross the bor der into the United States.By taking the lead in drug testing, they are preparing themselves for what may become mandatory for alt Canadian truckers who drive south MONTREAL (CP) As Que bee's top language watchdog, Lud milia de Fougerolles, is under no illusions about the task she faces.“It’s not the easiest job in the world and, in the end.it’s a job where you please no one,” said de Fougerolles, 46, head of the Commission de protection de la langue française, a government agency charged with enforcing Quebec's controversial French language law.Appointed by Premier Robert Bourassa to the $75,000-a-year job in the spring of 1987, the Czech born mother of two isn't overly worried about entering the public spotlight.“I'm not a very hard person, but I am fair,” de Fougerolles, a McGill University-trained lawyer, said in a recent interview in her office.Recent amendments to the Ian guage law continue a ban on languages other than English on exte rior store signs, while allowing hi lingual signs indoors as long as French is “markedly predominant," Bourassa’s Liberal government passed the legislation last month after a Supreme Court of Canada ruling that struck down the French-only sign provisions of the language law.The new legislation also overrides the Quebec and Canadian charters of rights to pre-empt any renewed court challenges for at least five years.De Fougerolles says she sees herself as a “diplomatic" bureau crat who aims to “inform the pu btic” about the sign law and convince them — if possible, without legal threats — to obey it.De Fougerolles, whose previous job was at a non-profit agency that advises companies on expanding the use of French in the workplace, is already mapping out her plan to put the new sign law into action.She predicts the amendments will give her 43 member staff more work - especially in explaining to merchants what they mean.She doesn’t foresee a new spate of legalistic arm-twisting to persuade recalcitrant merchants to obey the French-only sign law.In the next couple of weeks, de Fougerolles plans to start an information campaign to explain the new rules.She’s expected to send inspectors into stores with pictures to show merchants what a “marked predominance” of French looks like As the law doesn’t explain the term, the commission and its sister language agency- the Office de la langue française — will draw up guidelines.“It’s not just the size of the letters," she said "It's the way it’s presented, the color.“We re certainly not going around with rulers to measure the letters.” More tactful and diplomatic than Gaston Cholette, her Parti Québécois appointed predecessor, de Fougerolles claims to be "more vigilant'' in following up complaints and persuading merchants to change While there are more complaints about signs, de Fougerolles says bluntly there has been no increase in permanent bilingual signs since the PQ days.It 's just that more people are noticing the same bilingual signs, she said 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, January 10, 1989 The Townships fleconl * V y S' I** v-•

anymore." It would force anglophones to take a stand and express publicly what many of them think privately.They would show their neighbors and co-workers how they feel about Bill 178.Those who wear the band might be assaulted by people who see the world through Gilles-Rhéaume-colored glasses, who would interpret it as an affront to francophones.Conversely, the gesture might encourage francophones who believe that a little English on a commercial sign is not a serious threat to the survival of French language and culture, to wear the band themselves.COULD BE MOVED.The silent francophone majority could be moved by the gesture—or take even further offence, if in fact they support Premier Robert Bou-rassa’s inside-outside option.If wearing the band were to have the effect Mr.Nowell and many others hope it would, Premier Bou-rassa and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney would have to do something Somehow though I doubt Mr.Nowell and his supporters will be able to convince enough anglophones to meet his challenge and do more than just vent their frustration on open-line radio shows.I suspect there are a lot of people out there who will just shrug their shoulders and say: ‘it’s not worth the hassle, just make it go away, okay?” As there are others who unfortunately will say: ‘Tve had enough and I’m leaving.” A CONCERT INSTEAD Here’s an alternative.Instead of wearing armbands, let’s convince Montreal performers Corey Hart, Weather Tuesday will be a mainly cloudy day with scattered flurries and a high of -8.Doonesbury Luba, Leonard Cohen, Men Without Hats, Sass Jorden, and for the pre-’60s generation the Vic Vogel band, to hold a big concert.Shucks.Daniel Lavoie is a fran-co-Manitoban, so even he might want to attend.Call it le Love-ir.des Anglais.You would need the Forum for that concert, maybe even the Big Owe.And then Mr.Nowell could argue that the youth of Quebec are on his side.And if nothing more were achieved than by wearing the armband, at least more people would have fun.BY GARRY TRUDEAU LISTEN, IS IT OKA!

SSJB-Sherbrooke: Better to worry about birthrate By Rossana Coriandoli SHERBROOKE — The greatest danger to the Quebec is not the loss of its “French face" but rather its dropping birth rate, says Marcel Bureau, manager of the local St-Jean Baptiste Society.“They're worried about language.But who will speak our language?" Bureau said in an interview Monday."All our energies are spent on a law.but if all our energies were spent on our economy it would work itself out.” Bureau has been the general manager of Sherbrooke's St-Jean Baptiste Society, which celebrated its 50th anniversary Sunday, for the last 35 years.He was a volunteer with the group for ten years before that.Bureau is quick to disassociate his group from the nationalist Montreal branch of the society, which left the provincial St-Jean Baptiste federation 20 years ago."It’s the 7 same name; different ideas," Bu- £ reau said.r £ AGAINST INDEPENDENCE < The local group is against Que-?bee independence."I will never sit ï next to Gilles Rhéaume.” leader of ï the Parti Indépendantiste, Bureau “ added.The Sherbrooke group is a nonpartisan organization for popular education and information on cur- rent social, political and economic topics.Bureau explained."We were never for the Parti Québécois, we were never for the Union Nationale," he added."We can back an idea, not a party ." Bureau will meet today with Heather Keith-Ryan, president of the Townshippers Association an-glo-rights group, to discuss Quebec's language situation and Bill 178.Premier Robert Bourassa’s government passed the bill last month to a heated response from both francophone and anglophone groups.It allows only French signs outside stores with some inside.The Townshippers Association has been lobbying for bilingual commercial signs for the last four years and opposed Bill 178.saying it violates fundamental rights to freedom of expression.Keith-Ryan said last week the group will continue fighting to have the law changed and to improve French-English relations.She also said Townshippers intend to meet with the Mouvement Es-trien pour le Français as well as the SSJB.EASIEST MEETING But the meeting with Bureau may be the easiest on Townshippers agenda, as the SSJB-Sherbrooke has long been in favor of bilingual signs.Bureau said he will tell Keith-Ryan the same thing he told Townshippers Association during his meeting with the group "20 years ago." "We believe in the priority of French,” Bureau said.“But that others should be using another language for specific needs doesn't worry us any more than that." But although Bureau will probably agree w ith Keith-Ryan on most of the topics under discussion, he said he doesn't believe it will be the same during Townshippers’ talks with the Mouvement Estrien pour le Français."With the Mouvement 1 don’t think she'll have much success,” he said."They tolerate each other, that’s it." Bureau doesn't think bilingual signs show "a lack of pride” in Quebec’s French appearance, and he said tourism is one of the reasons to allow them."We can't just say we don’t need tourists from the U.S.or Toronto, we need them," he said "The inside-outside law isn't to anyone’s liking, but the law is a middle ground." LONG AND HARD He said the premier made his decision on the signs issue after thinking about it long and hard "It’s a good law that we must respect.It’s imperfect, but all laws are imperfect,” he said.“But we won't incite people to civil disobedience." However.Bureau said he believes Bourassa will eventually soften Bill 178 to calm some of the fire sparked by the bill."It's a subject that has always annoyed him," Bureau said.“He will try to keep the essence of the law while softening some of if to please public opinion Bureau said he believes Bourassa was mistaken to promise anglophones he would allow bilingual signs outside stores, but had'no choice on Bill 178.“Peoplepromise a lot," he said.But despite his belief that only extremists on both sides who are displeased by Bill 178, he doesn’t discount the possibility of violence in Sherbrooke as well as in Mon treal, where most of the violence and vandalism has taken place so far.Bureau nonetheless said he be lieves there is a solution to the language issue, although he doesn’t know what it is He also believes people “may recover their serenity with time,” and francophones and anglophones will restore their harmonious relations.“There was always a dialogue between them There’s no other way." ‘If that means going to jail.then I will’ Lennoxville merchants set for another sign fight By David Tweedie LENNOXVILLE — “I’m totally opposed to this kind of legislation.I believe we should have nipped it in the bud a long time ago and I think it’s now gone too far and now is the time to stop it once and for all.” Terry Winslow has had it with the Quebec government’s legislative prohibitions on sign language.His latest target is Bill 178, which bans English on outside signs, and invokes the notwithstanding’ clause in the Constitution to head off any legal challenges for limiting freedom of expression otherwise guaranteed in the charter of rights.Winslow is an agricultural consultant in Lennoxville.He advises farmers on livestock nutrition and he also analyses forage, grains and water.Winslow’s sign is not all that important for his business, since he doesn’t get a lot of walk-in trade.THE PRINCIPLE It’s the principle of the language legislation that bothers him.“My sign is quite inconspicuous,” he said in an interview Monday.“It has perhaps two English words on the whole thing.But I don’t think that is the point.” “The point is having the right to post a sign and I think that all the other businesspeople, especially in the tourism industry, that absolutely need these English words in their signs, need some support and I'm willing to give it to them.” Winslow agrees with the idea of using non-violent civil disobedience to protest against the law, as was put forward at a weekend meeting in Westmount that drew more than a thousand angry angles.“I think right now," he said, “that the only alternative that we have is to disobey this law as a group, and I don’t mean only the anglophones.I Wendy Work.‘We’ve sat back and taken it for far too long.’ think any francophones who want to advertise to the English-speaking public should go along with us.Go ahead and put up your signs.” •SHOULD BACK US’ "As long as it has French equally as predominant as English, the federal government should back us a hundred per cent.“I’ll take it as far as I have to.If that means going to jail to represent this cause, then I will.” Not all businesspeople in Lennoxville who are in favor of bilingual signs are willing to go to jail over the issue.But they are prepared to fight.“Maybe it’s time we did do something.We’ve sat back and taken it for far too long,” said Wendy Wark of the Treasure Chest.Wark said she won’t take down her bilingual sign unless she’s forced to do so.Like Winslow, she thinks businesspeople have to act together to try to get the law changed.She doesn’t think individual merchants acting alone would have much affect.‘WE MUST STAND UP’ The Wool Shop is across the street from the Treasure Chest.It has English on its signs and general manager Fern Murray doesn’t plan to change them.“I think we must stand up for our rights.It’s a right, it’s not a privilege that we should use our own language at any time." Murray said the Wool Shop has excellent relations with its French speaking customers, and it’s not a question of being bigots when fighting to use one’s own language.Murray said she’s prepared to go to court and face the possibility of fines, if the Robert Bourassa government tries to get her to take down her signs.And if forced to change, she won’t go unilingual French.“It is quite plausible I would go to symbols.certainly, if 1 were confronted with the necessity of going unilingual only, which 1 really refuse to do.” It wouldn’t be the first time the store has used symbols instead of words on its signs.In a previous sign-language battle, the Wool Shop used the wool mark along with a sheep’s head, which is the Quebec Wool Growers’ Co-op logo, to advertise that it’s the wool growers’ store.MULRONEY INVISIBLE Both Murray and Winslow said they’re disappointed with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.They think the prime minister should be as willing to defend anglophone minority rights in Quebec as he was to goto Manitoba, where he defended francophone minority rights.Winslow also looks to a more local level of government.He said he’d like Lennoxville town council to pass a motion to assist businesspeople taken to court for posting bilingual signs.KM OKUi.KAN!

The inquiring photographer: Is Canada's new immigration law fair to those who are seeking refugee status?LENNOXVILLE — Canada needed a new immigration law to control phony refugee claimants, agree Record readers polled Monday by inquiring photographer Grant Simeon.But most of those asked also agree that the new law in force since Jan.1 is too harsh, and its three-day limit doesn’t give time for a fair hearing.The Question : Do you think that Canada’s new immigration law is fair to those who are seeking refugee status in Canada?The Answers: Paul Pede.Toronto: “1 think it is a good idea, however I don't think that three days is enough time to judge a situation.” "Each situation is unique to the individual, but it is still a good idea."

graffiti, coarse language, spitting at pie and coming to physical blows are not he characteristics of a civilized society.Most deplorably, this is what Quebec society ^as come to in the last few weeks over the lebate on the language of signs.Frankly, our ?ollective dignity has been wounded and the cowardly actions of malcontents have emba-rassed us all.To circumvent the issue altogether, perhaps we should simply ban speaking outright and move to sign language, pardon the pun, as our everyday form of communication.That would ake care of the insecurities and chauvinism vhich seem to mar the simple act of speaking n Quebec.But people love to talk and the freedom of expressing oneself in one’s own language, including on signs, is an inviolable right.Let’s be clear on the principle; the taking away of that right by one group over another is quite simply an indefensible act of tyranny.Supporters of Bill 101 and its watered-down ccessor, Bill 178, cite the need for such laws the context of Quebec being an island of the rench language and culture in a sea of En-lish-speaking cultures.Demographically, his is true, but if context is to be raised, raise it all the way.Looking at the big picture, it should be reco-'nized that the language of signs is only one ispect of a series of influences, including En-'lish-Canadian and American television pro-;rams, which come to bear on French-'anadians.If Quebec society considers itself emocratic, it must seek ways to preserve its rench culture that are progressive, not re-[ essive.The Quebec government of Robert Bourassa ( ontrary to its pre-election promises to allow t lingua] signs) has fought a vigorous cam-p ngn of rhetoric and legislation to censor — and that’s the right word — languages other than French on commercial signs.Promoting the French language is possible without rubbing out others.All languages are precious.Even though beauty is more than skin-deep, the “French face" of Quebec society can be preserved by making French the predominant language of signs and allowing English and other languages to exist alongside the Quebec majority’s own.By invoking the notwithstanding clause of the Constitution, Bourassa has taken away the legal rights of non-francophones to post signs in their ow n language.This is particularly disturbing because it flies in the face of Western legal raditions.For many merchants in Quebec, that was the straw that broke the camel’s back.And the language camel of Quebec is a very frustrated and weary beast these days.Several Lennoxville merchants have now come out and protested vehemently against Bill 178 because it is unfair.Terry Winslow, an agricultural consultant, said yesterday he would even go to jail on a civil disobedience charge to keep the few English words he has on his sign.He doesn’t even gain much business from his sign, but.like Montreal bookstore owner Stephen Nowell, who has founded a committee opposed to Bill 178, he is fighting for the principle.Winslow and those who agree with him should be applauded, for the stand taken by them represents the fundamental right to challenge an unjust law.In a democratic society, laws cannot be created in a moral vacuum.Non violent civil disobedience, carefully and seriously considered, can be an appropriate course of action.In the case of Bill 178, opponents are left with few alternatives.JOHN TOLLEFSRUD Chairman of St.Francis College Board: SFCB acted in the best interests of those concerned A great deal of sentiment has been expressed recently through writings in the Record concerning the proposed sale of some land owned by the St.Francis College Board.The SFCB, for all practical purposes, is a board of trustees whose principal function is to administer the properties under its ownership.Any proceeds derived from these properties are used solely for the benefit of students at the Richmond Regional High School and the St.Francis Elementary School.The SFCB owns most of the land presently used by the St.Francis Elementary School as a playground, and also the land beyond the playground up to the land on which the first apartment building stands.The land proposed for sale is a portion of the land beyond the recognized playground, specifically the land beyond the first twenty feet (approximately) of the wooded area.It is part of the land that is rarely, if ever, used by the students of the St.Francis Elementary School and, in fact, is, as confirmed by Principal Richard Orzechowski, out-of-bounds to the students during school hours.When approached last spring by a local developer interested in purchasing this piece of land, W'illiam Stevens, member of the SFCB, approached other board members, including Commentary By William G.Stevens Principal Richard Orzechowski.and the Director General of the Eastern Townships School Board, Mr.Hugh Auger.Principal Richard Orzechowski, presumably speaking for the teachers of the St.Francis Elementary School, expressed an opinion in favor of the proposed sale.The Director General of the ETSB expressed the opinion that if this land was not being used by the students of the St.Francis Elementary School, the SFCB could proceed as they wished.As a result of these opinions, the matter of the proposed sale was brought up at the next meeting of the SFCB held on Sept.6, 1988.This meeting was attended by Chairman William Stevens, Secretary Treasurer B.W.Armatage, Principal of the St.Francis Elementary School Richard Orzechowski, and board members John Gunter, Peter Griffith, Phyllis Crack, Rev.James Jack and Rev.Scott Emery.At this meeting, it was moved by Peter Griffith, seconded by John Gunter, and unanimously carried that the SFCB proceed with negotiations for the sale of the land in question.Because of concerns subsequently expressed concerning this sale, two meetings were held with the teachers of the St.Francis Elementary School.At the first meeting, the SFCB members presented with letters (essays) written by the students giving reasons to keep “the woods", and suggestions by the teachers for projects that would involve the wood lot.These reasons were considered, but it was felt they were not sufficient to stop the proceedings.A second meeting was scheduled and this time, in spite of the deep concerns previously expressed, only two teachers attended, namely David Laberee and Jane Bishop.Thereafter, a meeting of the SFCB was scheduled for Dec.19, 1988.This meeting was attended by Chairman William Stevens, Secretary Treasurer B.W.Armatage, Principal Richard Orzechowski, and board members John Gunter, Phyllis Crack, Peter Griffith, Rev.Scott Emery and Rev.James Jack.At this meeting it was moved that the motion concerning the sale of land, duly moved and carried at the Sept.8,1988 meeting, be rescinded.This motion was defeated 3-2-2 (the Chairman did not vote).At this meeting, a motion was made and carried that William Stevens and B.W.Armatage be authorized on behalf of the Trustees of the SFCB to sign the deed of sale.The facts now are as follows : • A business agreement was made in good faith and such commitments are usually honoured.• This was a move made after consultation with, and on the advice of the members of the SFCB, acting in what they felt were the best interests of those concerned.And with the prior agreement of the Principal of the St.Francis Elementary School, acting, in what I am sure he felt was best for students, teachers and the SFCB.• The result of this sale is simply turning a seldom used piece of land (for most students a never used piece of land) into money that would be used in ways to benefit and to be appreciated by every student at the St.Francis Elementary School.• Although I was, and still am, always available to discuss this issue, to date not one “concerned" person, other than board members, has contacted me personally to discuss this issue and to obtain the facts.The irony in all of this controversy is that the opposing view's in this issue are held by persons with, ideally, a common interest — education.Respectfully submitted, William G.Stevens Chairman of the St.Francis College Board (duly elected Sept.8, 1988) Richmond Letters Our children need greenspaces Dear Editor: Green spaces in the town of Richmond are scarce and a “CHOSEN FEW?” wish to see even less.Members of the St.Francis College Board want to sell the grove at the end of the St.Francis School grounds.It is true, THEY have the say as to whether it should be sold because THEY say it is not used.1 wonder how often THEY are there to see neighbourhod children playing hide’n seek or maybe picking the wild blackberries! What if THEY decide in a few years elementary children don’t use the soccer field ! Are THEY going to sell that land as well! ! The land also includes the soccer field as well as the land where the baseball diamonds are.Will that eventually be sold?Our children need greenspaces to be able to burn off some of their energy.Perhaps some people would prefer to see 364 students sitting on the front lawn with nothing to do.Sounds funny?Well we never thought THEY would sell the grove either, and that is not very funny.If space for the proposed apartment 5) tencr 4 /2 -J) F n bacteria munches away t cancer-causing PCBs SASKATOON (CP) — A Saskatoon company said Fri-ay it has discovered a strain of bacteria that can effec vely rid the world of PCBs without producing dangerous byproducts.But a microbiologist said researchers in the United States have beaten High-line Chemicals to the punch The six month-old company unveiled Bio-zyme 2500 at a news conference Friday.The firm is certain it will reap big profits and create 30 jobs for Saskatoon by using the new product to destroy PCBs, a suspected cancer-causing chemical that has created major storage headaches throughout Canada.“We call it the right bug for the right job," said Mongi Ferchichi.High line's executive vice-president."I’m going to make Saskatchewan famous with this microbe " Friday's announcement was the culmination of four years of research for Ferchichi The French trained chemist moved to Saskatoon from Vancouver in July to pursue his dream Ferchichi said several Saskatchewan companies have inquired about the product, which consists of nine microbial cultures isolated from natural sustances.The bacteria combines with a nutrient to decompose more than 99 per cent of PCBs — polychlorinated biphe nyls in solution, leaving carbon dioxide and water But George Khachatourians.a professor in applied microbiology at the University of Saskatchewan, said High-line isn’t the first to make the discovery.“In the United States there are several firms that have pniduci'd PUB degrading bugs According to the literature there's nothing new.’’ Khachatourians said Detox Industries Inc., an Ohio-based company, produced a bacteria that reduced PCBs in solution from 2,000 parts per million to four parts per million — a reduction of more than 99 per cent, is a problem, may I suggest the contractor turn around from the grove because directly across the street is a sign “A VENDRE" 30,000 square feet of vacant land.(It is the same size as the grove).It would cost him less in the long run, there are NO trees to cut down.A neighbour of the grove Kathy Appelblom A lot like Cyril Sneer Dear Editor, I’m a grade 6 student in St.Francis.I enjoy the forest very much and appreciate it on hot days when we’re allowed to go into it.It would be just awful if it was cut down.We wouldn’t be able to play in it or go there to look for leaves like our class once did.But what I’m wondering is why Mr.Stevens is acting a lot like Cyril Sneer on the Raccoon’s and trying to cut down our Evergreen Forest.Yours truly, Kelly McGee Richmond Many memories hiding in grove Dear Editor: As you have probably already heard about, we have a problem in this little town of ours.They want to cut down one of the few green spots left in this town.I am a young adult of 13.I used to live next to the grove.I have many memories hiding in that grove.If they cut the grove down, they are cutting part of me down as well.I am sure there are other vacant areas on which to build, burn or ruin.Please find another place to build your ‘condo’.I need my memories and a place to go when all else fails.A concerned teen Karla Appelblom NDP’s Weir: A sniper in the New Brunswick legislature By Chris Morris FREDERICTON (CP) — Elizabeth Weir lives the life of a sniper alone, ever alert for the quick shot She leads the New Democratic Party in New Brunswick where Premier Frank McKenna’s Liberals hold all 58 seats.That relegates Weir to a perch in the legislature’s public gallery but her sights are always trained on the Grits beneath her “A lot of people are really just star ting to feel the impact of Oct.13, 1987,” she says, recalling the astonishing Liberal victory.“It took a long while for that to sort of seep in as to what it would mean to have 58 Liberals elected and no oppo sition." For the 40-year-old lawyer, the lopsided outcome has meant a lot of hard work as she personally tries "to salvage some vestige of what we think of as parliamentary democracy." She is the only full time leader of an unelected opposition party in New Brunswick.The Conservative party, still suffe ring from post election shock, has yet to find a new leader When Tories finally make their choice at a leadership convention scheduled for November the Conservative standard- bearer will have to run hard to match the pace set by Weir.WEIR IMPOSING An articulate and imposing six-footer, (McKenna only comes to her chin), Weir is fast becoming the champion of those who consider themselves hurt or ignored by government She is a skilful communicator, keenly aware of electronic-age demands for succinctness.And after sitting through a cosy, all-Liberal question period in the legislature, Weir grumbled that it was "like Nightmare on Elm Street."You hope it won’t happen again but they keep bringing out sequels." While Tory spokesmen wait for the news media to call them for reaction to government actions, Weir simply invades the legislature press gallery, hovering over reporters until they hear her out Frustrated at being shut out of the normal legislative process, Weir zeroes in on cabinet ministers, like Rambo picking targets, for her "quest ion a-day" — a copy of which is always provided to the news media The ministers are under no obligation to respond to the questions, which arc not read in the house But Weir often gets an answer.Among other things, she has pushed the Liberals to change the rules to allow more women appointments to the bench and she has helped keep such issues as health care and civil legal aid at the forefront of public attention She finds the Grits oddly sensitive to criticism after dishing it out for 17 years in opposition."It's somewhat surprising that they would be so cautious and so sensitive to the slightest criticism," Weir says."I see it as a very paternalistic type of government.It’s like you get to kiss the ring every now and then and there's the hand on the shoulder: ‘don’t worry my children, we will make the decisions and don't question us ’ That can be very frightening." But Weir's problems aren't only with unco operative Liberals.Her own party, which has never held more than two seats at a time, would try the patience of Job.Weir has been associated with the New Brunswick NDP since 1983.She was a high-profile executive director who spent as much time in the spotlight, if not more, than then-leader George Little After Little stepped down, Weir went after the leadership Inst bmr* Up until the day of the leadership convention, Weir had been the only candidate, but at virtually the last minute, labor delegates put forward a challenger who almost beat her.The vote was 50 to 45.ALONE A LOT Weir feels the rift in the party is healing but she seems to spend a lot of time by herself in her office and in the legislature."It’s obvious that she seems to be working virtually by herself," says Don Hoyt, a columnist with the Saint John Telegraph-Journal."There’s some question as to how much sup port she is being given by the labor movement in New Brunswick." Any help that Weir gets is voluntary That's because the NDP, like the Conservatives, hasn’t the money to run a full-fledged opposition office.Weir is still furious with the Liberals for deciding not to give the Tories and the NDP funds for an opposition."It does a disservice to our political system in New Brunswick not to ensure that at this time, of all times, there can be strong voices heard from the opposition." Prior to the 1987 election, the Tories held 37 seats, the Liberals 20 and the NDP one i The RECORD—Tuesday.January 10.1989—5 Farm and Business i______ftg-i Jkfccora To eliminate air-space for better burial New St-Elie tire shop slices old tires in half By John Tollefsrud ST-ELIE D'ORFORD - The newest Eastern Townships tire shop comes complete with its own machine to make your old rubber easier to get rid of.Pneus St-Elie officially opened a new and modernized $1 million tire shop on Highway 220 near St-Jacques Street.Owner Richard Daigneault says the new facility will eventually dispose of used tires in a way which is friendly to the environment.He also said the new shop will create seven or eight jobs in addition to 12 existing positions there.Pneus St-Elie was formerly located on Range 6, a country road, and the move brings the company clo- ser to the centre of town.INVENTORY UP The new building allows the firm to expand its inventory of tires from a current $300,000 to $500,000.The shop specializes in the sale and servicing of car and truck tires, along with electronic wheel alignment, suspension work and brake repair.Daigneault has invested in two computerized, pneumatic vehicle jacks which allow mechanics to work under cars.But the pride of his new shop is a special machine which cuts tires in two lengthwise to eliminate the airspace in the middle Daigneault explained last week that this space-saving procedure permits him to bury the used tires at a licenced dry-waste site —- in his case Jar-Bee in neighboring St-Denis de Brompton — without the tires creating air pockets under the ground.But the 20-year veteran of the tire business doesn't want to stop there.The tire-cutting machine will allow him to accept tires from other garages in the Sherbrooke area for disposal.RECYCLER NEXT DOOR Daigneault has also planned discussions in the coming months with representatives from a St-Elie corporate neighbor, Ani-Mat, a rubber recycler, to devise a more effective means of getting rid of or recycling used tires.Asked about his views on free trade, Daigneault said he supports the pact with the United States because it will eliminate tariffs and make Canadian prices more equitable with American ones.“I believe in free trade,” he said, “Because one day you’ll be able to buy a $50 tire for $40.” Daigneault pointed out that even his own brother passes over using Daigneault's nearby Esso station to buy gas.preferring to go south of the border instead "to save a dollar".RKCORl) JOHN TOU FFSRUD Richard Daigneault says his new tire-slicing machine will save space and make recycling easier.Canada-U.S.project may bring Arcott sheep milk OTTAWA (CP) — Baa baa black sheep, have you any .milk?That’s a tune North American sheep farmers could be singing if a joint project between Agriculture Canada and the University of Minnesota proves successful.The project, using 50 of Canada’s new super-breed Arcott sheep, began last fall to determine whether the newly registered breed has an unexpected talent — producing milk.Raising sheep for milk is virtually unheard of in North America although it’s common in some European countries.Sheep milk is used to produce high-quality cheese, including Roquefort and feta.Bill Boylan, the University of Minnesota professor who heads the project with a scientist from the Agriculture Department, believes there's a market for sheep milk.‘‘It's just a matter of whether or not the sheep produce enough milk.’’ Boylan and Jap Shrestha, the Agriculture Department scientist involved with the project, have received several inquiries from farmers and businessmen interested in producing and marketing cheese and yogurt from sheep milk.Boylan said the Canadian Arcott sheep may be a key factor in getting North American farmers into the dairy sheep business.Its main market would be for gourmet food.CLAIMS FAD “This is something new, it’s a fad,” said Shrestha.Patrick Martin, a Quebec director of the Canadian Sheep Growers’ Association, agrees.“Maybe some people will try it for fun, but not on a big commer cial basis.” Arcott sheep are known for their fast growth, lean meat and rapid reproduction.The Arcotts are the result of 20 years of research at the Agriculture Department to combine the best traits of domestic and foreign sheep.The program has cost $20 million.The Arcotts comprise three breeds: the Canadian Arcott, the Outaouais Arcott and the Rideau Arcott.The sheep are expected to boost the Canadian sheep industry, which is slowly recovering from a 30-year production decline.One of the three breeds that make up the Canadian Arcotts contains genes from the German-bred East Friesian sheep, noted for high milk production.Until the development of the Arcott breed, Boylan said, North American sheep producers didn't have access to sheep with East Friesian genes.Transporting sheep to Canada from Europe requires a six-year quarantine period to guard against disease.Sheep-milk cheese and yogurt are relatively high in fat — more than seven per cent compared to about four per cent in cow’s milk.That high-fat content allows the production of high-quality cheese.Average annual wage in China's urban areas is about $325 Cdn China makes adjustments for growing unemployed TORONTO (CPi — American Barrick Resources Corp.will emerge as a world-class gold producer and experience spectacular growth over the next four years with the development of its northern Nevada mine, company president Robert Smith said Monday.The Toronto-based company will spend $365 million US in capital ex penditures on its Goldstrike mine — a project which should increase the mine’s profitable production almost nine times over last year’s total to 900,000 ounces annually by 1992.Production is estimated to be one million ounces by 1996.Smith said The development will make the mine one of the largest in North America and American Barrick one of the world’s leading gold producers, he told a news conference.The company, which has mines in Canada and the United States, reported $24,5 million in net income in 1987, the last year for which figures are available.The new mining development, along with the company's hedge program which guarantees a minimum average price — will see the firm's total earnings jump considerably, said Jerry Garbutt, the company's executive vice-nresident before he found a new job as a salesman.He since has opened a beauty salon and says he earns up to $130 Cdn a month and plans to start a restaurant.Adapting to unemployment, which the communist government for many years refused to acknowledge existed, is difficult for workers, officials said.Many of the people who come to the Huang-gu labor office for assistance are enrolled in “political study." a euphemism for pep talks on finding new jobs.RETIRE EARLY The official newspaper Economic Reference reported last September that about 60.000 “redun- dant” workers already were laid off in Shenyang, with most taking early retirement, extended maternity leaves or receiving newly created jobs.Xu said the city’s unemployment rate is expected to grow to four per cent in three years as the work force is further streamlined.Authorities must persuade the workers of the importance of the new system, he said.“Even in a socialist country you should have a sense of competition, you need to have competition,” Xu added.“This is the way to develop the skills of the workers, this is the only way that they can realize the contributions they can make.” By Dan Biers SHENYANG, China (API — Efforts to smash China’s once-sacrosanct “iron rice bowl” system of lifetime employment are being made in Shenyang, but a sa fety net is being woven to catch the growing legions of jobless.China’s fourth largest city, Shenyang has become a laboratory for new programs to wean the communist country from the inefficient system that guaranteed workers a job for life regardless of performance.For example, Shenyang workers who lose their jobs now can receive training, counselling and money from local offices believed to be the first unemployment centres in China.City officials say the number of people receiving unemployment compensation will increase as She nyang intensifies its economic re forms by laying off about 300,000 “redundant" workers, or 15 per cent of the work force.The population of the northeastern city is 4.1 million.UP EFFICIENCY “The purpose of breaking the iron rice bowl is to develop productivity, to increase the efficiency of our economy.and also to quickly improve the people’s living standard,” said Xu Qingyong, a top official in the Shenyang Labor Bureau.Since 1986.state-run companies in Shenyang have paid one per cent of their payrolls into a pioneering unemployment insurance fund that has been set up in only a few cities.The unemployed can draw on the fund for up to two years, said Dong Lianzhi, head of the city’s unemployment insurance section.The average annual wage in China’s urban areas is equivalent to about $325 Cdn.People who resign can collect 75 per cent of their previous salary the first year and 50 per cent the second.Fired employees can draw 60 per cent of salary for a year and then 50 per cent.GIVEN MONTHLY The money is disbursed monthly at offices such as the Huanggu District Labor Service Co., which is down a narrow alley.Li Hongxing, a 24-year-old with fashionably long hair, was one of the first workers to receive unemployment compensation from the office when he decided to quit his job at the post office in December 1986.“I didn’t realize I could get the money.” Li recalled.“At first, I felt a little as though I was letting the country down.” He added that without the grant “life would have been pretty tough," Li received the equivalent of $12.60 Cdn a month for five months Gold firm expecting boom LEASING per month No 5721 89 Oldsmobile Delta Royal 3.8 litre V-6.fuel injection,

More losses were suffered when a main support cable for the tied-up tomatoes snapped and the heavily laden plants some four metres tall — collapsed to the sawdust-covered greenhouse floor.“One of the main things we find is that we re pioneers,” Metropo lit says of the two projects.“We re breaking sod.” The Yukon government, eager to reduce .the cost of bringing vegetables in from more hospitable climates, has provided a total of $150,000 in funding to the projects.“Down south, you can run to your university, you can run to your Agriculture Department, you can run to your competitors and see how they do it.Up here, every little bit of information.is a long-distance call.” Heiland is sitting in his trailer home after packaging bean sprouts dried in the spin cycle of an old washing machine in his iFocus on Farming! ' :: '.•‘Y-—w.-, workshop.GROWS LETTUCE "It’s just a matter of working out all the bugs," Heiland says of a leaf lettuce crop that averages 400 to 500 heads a week."You just keep working them out." His first harvest was a year ago when the temperature outside the greenhouse was 34 C.The lettuce is grown in rock wool, a fi brous material resembling insu lation that is set in plastic pipes, which carry circulating nutrient-laced water.It takes an average of six weeks for a plant to mature, longer in the winter, shorter in the summer when the sun barely sets."It’sa curve that actually coincides with the market," says Heiland.51, who moved to the Yukon 23 years ago after growing upon a farm southeast of Edmonton.“As your market comes up in the summer due to the tourist industry, so does your production.It falls off in the fall at the same time as the tourist industry." RESCUED CROP Heiland, who supplies more than 10 per cent of the Yukon market, contributed to Yukon lore by bringing back to life a greenhouse full of lettuce that froze at —30 C when the propane that heated the structure liquefied because of the cold.The plants survived because the nutrient solution kept running, saving the roots, and the temperature was raised slowly over a 24-hour period.The lettuce thawed and wilted but didn't collapse.“We just kept watching it,’’ says Heiland."For three or four days it was very bitter.After that, it sweetened right up and in 10 days we marketed it.” Metropolit shudders at the thought of opening up his greenhouse when the temperature is —30 C to let out expensively heated 25-degree air because it has become too moisture-laden.This is sometimes necessary to prevent mildew.But there are some advantages to farming in the North, he says, “The good thing is we don’t have maybe nine-tenths of the disease and insect problems.The South can keep its white flies and other insects.It’s just too cold for them up here.” THE KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA We’re out to make kidney disease obsolete.Medicine Get the facts about the challenge and opportunity of the Canadian Forces Medical Officer Training Plan.Students of medicine, male or female, under the Medical Officer Training Plan, your medical studies can be subsidized up to three years at medical school and a maximum of two years internship training You will attend a Canadian civilian university, your textbooks and necessary equipment will be supplied and you will be paid while you learn.Following graduation, you will combine your medical training with that of an officer in the Canadian Forces.Choose a Career, Live the Adventure.For more information, visit your nearest recruiting centre or call collect - we're in the Yellow Pages”' under Recruiting, THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES REGULAR AND RESERVE Oinacft \ 6—The RECORD—Tuesday, January 10, 1989 Living ffeconl Things are stirring in Pike River Bully on the block needs help There is an old saying in show business, “bad dress rehearsal, good show”.The way 1988 went out, let’s hope that the ill tidings of no cheer presage a better year, but unfortunately, I can’t offer to bet on it.One thing that strikes me as being particularly Canadian is the way we use language.Almost anywhere in the world, when bombs go off, “terrorists" are the ones responsible.In Canada, the Alliance Quebec offices are destroyed by a fire bomb (among many fire bombings) and the word terrorist never appears.We talk about “extremists” and “thugs", never terrorists.“Thug” is particu larly Canadian.We must he about the last people on earth who still use the term.Despite the fact that 1989 looks as if it might be “interesting", there are a few social stirrings in the great Pike River Basin.Appropriately enough, the first of them is a Fish Chowder party to be held at the Philipsburg Legion Hall next Saturday.The way this one works is that people start coming at 4 :00 p.m.(1600 to the mi litary) and after paying their $3.00 entry fee, the food starts coming.I am told that it will keep on coming until there is no more food to put into the bowls.To keep the Legion members from having to eat chowder for several days afterwards, please come, bring friends and eat hearty.The price makes this first Legion event of the year one of the best dine-out deals in Quebec.Unless you are a light eater (GE 30-watt bulbs are delicious baked), there is no full meal to be had at the Missisquoi Historical Society’s June in January Evening on the 17th.There will be hot weather refreshments to make you think Down the Pike By Ashley Sheltus warm thoughts, funny hats to keep you amused and a slide show of pictures that feature the landscape of Arizona.“Sunshine & Shadows” may be the hottest event on that week.The pictures were taken by Cynthia Chalk, who also had a couple of her photographs selected for the Canadian Church Calender this year.To find out more about how to feel warm in January, come to the Anglican Church Hall in Stanbridge East before 7:30 on the 17th.Bring your own warm weather hat.Bring a friend.If you feel lucky, bring a car big enough to carry home your door prize.Above all, bring enough room for the refreshments that follow the show.Last year I mentioned a talk on Poetry to be given in Montreal by Catherine Bates.This is a real event, despite its location at Con-U.The address is 1455, de Maisonneuve West, in the Hall Building.The date is January 23rd, and it all happens between 7:30 and 9:00 p.m.for a mere $3.00 (plus gas).On the Friday after that (the 27th to be exact) there will be another legion cribhage tournament in Philipsburg.The usual rules apply, bring your own board or you’re skunked before you start, bring $5.00 or you won't get in, and bring a sense of humour in case it’s not your lucky night.The week of the 27th to 5th of Fe- bruary will be lucky.That is when the annual Stanbridge East Winter Carnival is on! More information will be forthcoming as details of this etesian event are provided.Still, even before plans are formulated and committees are struck, you can be sure the entire week will be filled with activities.Like New England weather, if you don’t like what’s going on, wait ten minutes.The final social note is more of an advisory, therefore be advised that on Sunday, January 29th, the Philipsburg Legion is holding the very first 1989 roast beef dinner.As usual, all the trimmings will be available, along with a salad bar and various liquid refreshments.To close, a word about signs.Now that English is illegal inside and outside, and being a law-abiding (once there actually is a law to abide by) race, we need to put the well known Eastern Townships talent for inventiveness to practical use.What we need are non-language signs, with double messages.Would any local artisan care to design something for M Bourassa to display over his office door?I would suggest that a pair of ice skates would be appropriate.For Lennoxville MNA Louise Robic (using the French, MAN didn’t look right), how about a violet at her riding office?I hear that despite the number of English-speaking Quebecers in her riding, she was defi-nately a “Shrinking Violet” when it came to defending the right to use English signs.In fact, she seems to believe that those bilingual signs in town are capable of destroying Quebec society.Use your imagination folks.Remember, if you can’t lick ’em — laugh at them.It’s healthier.Give battle-weary clerks a break Dear Ann Landers: I am sick of hearing poeple whine about being put on hold when they call a place of business.If these fools had any idea what it takes to run a switchboard, they would be a lot more patient.Our offices has 12 incoming telephone lines.Sometimes they all ring at once.Callers who are often ded when asked to hold would be enraged if the receptionist took care of a caller or two ahead of them.Receptionists do not put people on hold to be spiteful.They are trying their darndest to keep up with the frantic pace of incoming calls.Receptionists must keep track of where everyone is at all times.They must lie convincingly when the boss doesn’t want to take a call And they have to suffer the indignity of begging someone to watch the board when they need to go to the bathroom.Callers ask for legal advice and referrals to other companies.They want personal information about executives in the firm.They even ask the switchboard operator to look up numbers in the telephone Ann Landers book.I worked my way through college in a variety of clerical jobs, and I remember what it was like to be at the bottom of the corporate heap.In the two years that I have worked in this office, we have gone through five receptionists.All were bright and competent, but they couldn't handle the stress.Interesting footnote: The receptionists are usually the most poorly paid people in the organization.Working the front desk is like being in the front line of a war.So, impatient caller, when a receptionist asks you to hold, please don’t consider it as a personal insult.Receptionists do the best they can and deserve your consideration.Just sign me On hold in Minneapolis Dear Mpls: I’m happy to say a good word for the most abused battle-weary soldiers on the business front.So, folks, the next time you’re put on hold, remember this column — and mellow out.Dear Ann Landers: Last Sunday, at a church social, several of us were discussing an acquaintance who had just had a 10-pound baby boy.A woman in the group, whom I did not know, turned to me and asked, “And when is your happy event going to take place?” I said, "excuse me?” She replied,“When is your baby due?” I told her 1 was not pregnant.She was embarrassed and my day was ruined.Ann, I should tell you that this has happened before.I am about 20 pounds overweight and it is all in front.I am 37 years old and not married.Am I thin-skinned?should I be able to laugh it off?Comment, please.—NYC Dear NYC: Your salvation could be a style-wise woman in the dress department of your favorite store.You need to wear clothes that conceal your

MacMillan of Family Services of Peel Region.“And, although parents don’t want their children fighting, they have felt happy when their children did, and put a stop to it.” But fighting, social service experts and educators agree, is a last resort.Fighting to settle disputes is television’s way to deal with life, says Sharon McKay, author of New Child Safety Handbook.A generation ago, kids watched cowboys fight it out with Indians.Now, they watch Rambo.“Too many kids learn that might is right.” “Who’s the hero?” asks Mary Ann Richardson, program manager of Peel’s Children’s Centre.“The one who pummels,” she answers with chagrin.“G.I.Joe dolls were the most popular toy last Christmas.The message for boys is that macho is in — and little boys are eating it up.” GIRLS DO IT Girls are bullies too.But because they’ve been taught to be nice and not to play rough, they don’t usually lash out and punch, says Richardson.But it does happen, says Gary McAlpine, principal of a senior public school in Brampton.“Both (boys and girls) can be quite vicious,” says McAlpine.“The female might be more prone to making sure she has a supporting cast with her.’’ But usually a girl will be a “social bully,” says McKay.‘“You can’t join my club because you don’t have blond hair,’ they say.They grow up to be the head of the PTA and keep people (they don’t want) out of the executive.It’s the power play.” Bullies are turning up at younger ages in the 1980s, says McKay.They're starting in the day-care centre.“Four-year-olds are beating up three-year-olds,” she says.“The bullying mentality is being identified earlier than usual.” In the United States, one out of every 10 children is regularly victimized by bullies, says Stephen Barker, psychologist for the Peel school board.USUALLY ABUSED “The bully has learned the lesson about life that when someone is weaker than they are it’s OK to use physical force because that’s what’s happened to them,” says Barker.“The bully is usually an abused child.They’ve been taken advantage of by people stronger than they are.“There’s a side of them that’s afraid and vulnerable.The other side is angry.” The bully’s victim looks like an easy mark, says Barker.“The bully is afraid of that vulnerability in himself and doesn’t want to see it in another child.“They (the victims) tend to be anxious and fearful.They don’t have much self-confidence.They are not as strong.They don’t relate the same way to their peers.” Parents usually hestitate before intervening in their children’s battles with bullies, says McKay.They think their child has to find his or her own strength from within, or they’ll turn into a “wimp.” But if the bullying goes on too long there may be serious consequences for the victims, says Barker.“The kids will start to avoid school.They’ll be sick, day in and day out, systematically.If the bully is only going after one child, the child will avoid certain places around the schoolyard and on the way home.It can lead to a change in self-worth and self-esteem.” Both the victim and the bully need help.Bullies can be taught that there are other ways to deal with their anger.Victims can be taught to fend for themselves.“Both have to be taught social skills,” McKay says.Older bullies might join a boxing club, where they’ll turn aggression into a skill, she says.Younger bullies can be given a task they can succeed at, like school monitor.Dramatic arts is a good program for a bully, says McAlpine, because through role-playing they have the opportunity to learn about social situations and themselves.If these methods don’t work, the student may be suspended.HELPING VICTIM What’s important for the victimized children is to remember “to support and not blame the child,” McAlpine says.The child must remember that he or she has rights “and there are people to assist them in keeping those rights.” Victims must work to maintain their rights.It’s up to the victim to show the bully that they are not going to take it any more.Parents can help their child rehearse the words he will use the next time the bully appears.If the bully takes a swing, the child will have to defend himself, says MacMillan.The victim should also watch his own behavior.“Walk in a purposeful manner.Don’t look intimidated.If they want money, arrange not to have any.If the bully hits you, don’t look like a beaten person, give them no satisfaction.Don’t cry.” Or, suggests McKay, turn the other cheek.“If somebody taunts you, don’t look them in the eye.Don’t try to stare someone down who wants to hurt you.“Smile.” Potatoe doughnuts are a favourite u ¦‘WW h' ; m TimeTo Re-plate Your Silver 25%off ii limited ofict All silver eventually shows the passage of time and use, If you have an old family

how to control your weight By Patrick Quillin, Ph.D., R.D.and A.Gordon Reynolds, M.D.To control your weight and maintain a lifetime of health and vigor, try this proven approach developed by experts at La Costa, the famous spa in Southern California: Nutrition they could not lose weight below a certain point.Exercise is the best way to break through this plateau of weight loss.• Your workout must be fun, vigorous and regular (at least three times a week).Strive for flexibility, strength and cardiovascular fitness (aerobic capacity), and start slowly, with nonstress exercises like brisk walking.trends and other problems that need to be dealt with Attitude Think thin.If you think of yourself as an overfat person, you will eat and exercise accordingly to bring this image to fruition.Eat until satisfied, not stuffed — there is a difference.Do not skip meals.Grazers, who eat small fréquent meals, are more successful at maintaining a svelte build than gorgers, who eat a few large meals daily.If you must have some junk food, do it only one day a week.The body can absorb just so much of a large intake of calories, but if the food is spaced out over the entire week, calorie absorption becomes much higher.When you feel hungry, drink a tall glass of water first.Fluids may often be what the body really wants.Eat until satisfied, not stuffed — there is a difference.• Hot fluids (like soup) or high-fiber snacks consumed 20 minutes before a meal will seriously blunt the appetite.• For rapid and permanent weight loss, eat less fat — only 20 to 30 percent of your total calories.Dietary fat is easier for the body to store as body fat than other calorie sources • Vegetarians and fish eaters are only one-third as likely to suffer obesity as meat eaters.It is the fat in meat that creates the weight problem • Take a high-quality broad-spectrum multiple vitamin and mineral supplement.This will provide health insurance for those dieters who have been consistently fasting.It will also eliminate the possibility that a faulty appetite may be due to a vitamin or mineral deficiency.Exercise Each of us has a weight that is easy to maintain.This “set point" is based upon inherited traits, early feeding habits, number of fat cells and other influences.Many dieters have found that, in spite of Herculean efforts at fasting.EXCERPTED from “The La Costa Book of

Costa.biking and swimming.• To most efficiently burn stored fat, your exercise should allow you to say a few words while working out.If you can talk continuously during your workout, then the intensity is too low.If you are so out of breath that you can't talk at all, then you are burning more stored glycogen than fat stores Behavior Allow at least 20 minutes to consume any meal — it takes this long for the appetite control center of the brain (hypothalamus) to shut off after the stomach is full.• Eat and chew slowly.“Speed eaters” nearly always have a weight problem.Put the fork down between each bite.Chew the food 20 to 30 times per mouthful.• Don’t be a plate cleaner; leave a bite on each plate at the meal’s end.Use a smaller plate to make your smaller portions look more substantial.• Keep leftovers out of sight.Store food in opaque containers.• Eat only at the table.Do not eat standing up • Plan your meals.Keep snack foods out of the house.Do not grocery-shop while hungry.• If necessary, avoid the television for a few weeks.Studies have shown a direct relationship between hours spent in front of the TV and probability of being overweight.• Food provides emotional as well as physical satisfaction, so enjoy your meals.Use music, candles, nice clothes and other tricks — not more food — to make mealtime more pleasant.• Write down everything that you eat for at least one week.From this, you can observe eating behavior, If you think of yourself as a lean and healthy individual, you will spend your energies to fulfill that image.• Do not berate yourself for occasionally falling off course.You would not criticize children in first grade for their lack of knowledge, and the same applies to weight loss.You may not be there yet, but you are going in the right direction.• Set realistic goals for weight loss within a given time frame.Reward yourself when you reach these goals, with clothes, records, trips, but not food.Learn to cope with the moods (depression, boredom) that instigate overeating.Seek counseling if necessary.• Seek the support of your friends and family.No one can sabotage your efforts if you are truly sincere Be prepared for the better but not perfect world of thinness There will still be disappointments, taxes, jobs and unpleasant people to deal with.• Accept total personal responsibility for your weight.There are some things in life we may feel unable to control.Your waistline and general health are entirely up to you.® 1988 by Patrick Quillin and A Gordon Reynolds Published by Pharos Books Reprinted by permission

tional, especially with respect to color, which if it isn’t a variation on natural shades of cognac-tan with cream-colored fleece is generally nothing more daring than basic brown or black.However, even in men’s styles, gone are the raised fleece ridges along the seams where the sheep skins are joined together.“Today's shearlings are a lot cleaner-looking, with double-stitched seams rather than the old Western- style, wool-out seams, explains Peter Rogers, general manager of coat operations at Sawyer of Napa, a 119-year-old Napa Valley.Calif., shearling coat specialist that makes shearling coats even when they re not in fashion.“They’re also looser.Before, everything was fitted.” Also different this time around: Skins are softer, often much lighter in weight, and many coats for men and women feature a sueded leather finish instead of the traditional polished leather.The lighter skins come from lambs, with the best said to originate in Spain.Shearling flight jackets like those worn by WWII fighter pilots represent the happy melding of two currently hot fashion trends: shearling and aviator looks.However, notes Jeff Clyman, president of Avirex Ltd., a New York-based manufacturer of a complete line of authentic reproduction aviation apparel, “these kinds of coats are always in demand” because of the public’s unflagging romance and fascination with aviation and its history.While no one promises shearlings will remain fashionable forever, most experts agree they’ll be trendy for the next couple of years at least, and after that, well, they’ll be your warmest, most practical coat for decades to come.“First you wear it for special occasions, then when you go out at night, then you wear it to work, and then you wear it to walk the dog,’ explains Searle Blatt, owner of Searle Blatt Ltd., which offers high-quality shearlings.“But you’ll always wear it, because you’ll love it." © 1988.NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.Three-quarter-length mustard shearling coat from Noviello-Bloom ($1,350).WANTED TO BUY Second hands piece drum set.Call (819) 569-4678 a- cr cr h ¦o *a -o AUCTION CONSIGNMENT SALE AT SAWYERVILLE AUCTION SATURDAY, January 21,1989 at 1 p.m.Welcome to all sellers and buyers of beef animals.All the animals that are consigned to us will be auctioned off.Pregnancies will be checked by a veterinarian before the sale.In the case of a big storm, the sale will be held on the following Saturday, January 28.Commission: 5% Restaurant on the premises.Conditions of sale: Cash or cheque from known buyer.Reception as of 7 a.m.FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT: LES ENCANS LAFAILLE ET FILS LIMITEE 512 Main West, Coatlcook, Quebec.Tel.B19-849-3606 or 4702 Michel: 849-2554 Jean-Louls: 838-9385 Daniel; 849-7747 THF.KIDNEY FOUNDATION OF CANADA ORGAN DONATION .Life .Pass it oni TO PLACE YOUR PREPAID CLA$$IFIED AD: TELEPHONE: (819) 569-9525 (514) 243-0088 BY MAIL: Use this coupon IN PERSON Come to our offices 2850 Delorme Street, Sherbrooke or 88 Lakeside Street, Knowlton OFFICE HOURS: Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m.to 4.30 p.m.DEADLINE: 10 a m working day previous to publication ALL ORDERS MUST INCLUDE STREET ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER PLEASE DDE KIT 11c per word.Minimum charge $2.75 per day for 25 words or less.Discounts PRINT f0r prepaid consecutive insertions without copy change: 3 insertions - less CLEARLY 10%, 6 insertions - less 15%, 21 insertions - less 20%.CATEGORY NAME CATEGORY NUMBER (25 words) MAIL THIS COUPON TO: The Record P.O.Box 1200, Sherbrooke, Quebec J1H 5L6 COSTOFADVERTISEMENT: (min.$2.75)$0.11 x_—wordsx_days = S- ADVERTISER'S NAME_________ ADDRESS.PROVINCE .POSTAL CODE TELEPHONE ( )______________________ PLEASE CHECK FORM OF PAYMENT: CHEQUED MONEY ORDERG CREDIT CARDD CREDIT CARD PAYMENT: MASTERCARD ?VISAG CARD NO.EXPIRATION DATE SIGNATURE THE RECORD RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT OR EDIT AHY ADVERTISEMENT.
