deputy minister for intergovernmental affairs.Francis McGuire said today there have been discussions for several months about scrapping the meeting planned for Charlottetown in early September.The premiers and Prime Minister Brian Mulroney were to meet to discuss the future of the Meech Lake constitutional accord.On Wednesday, the prime minister’s office announced that talks on the accord would not take place until a scheduled meeting in November on the economy.A statement said the prime minister believes little would be accomplished in September because neither premiers Frank McKenna of New Brunswick nor Gary Fil-mon of Manitoba will be ready to discuss their positions by then.Those two provinces have not yet approved the accord, which would bring Quebec into the constitutional fold.McGuire said New Brunswick welcomes delay of the talks.A legislature committee that held public hearings on the deal is not due to file its report until late fall, and McKenna has said he does not want to discuss the deal until that report is completed.‘ ‘The late fall is a better time and a more appropriate time,” said McGuire, speaking for the vacationing premier.POSTPONED BEFORE The subject of postponing Meech Lake talks came up at a meeting of Watchdog lets Molson marry O’Keefe brewery By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) — The federal competition watchdog will not challenge the merger of brewing giants Molson and Carling O’Keefe.“Under present market conditions the merger is not likely to raise concerns under the Competi- Merger will cost 500-600 jobs - union In Montreal, the merger of the Molson and Carling O’Keefe breweries is expected to affect between 500 and 600 jobs but the presidents of the two unions representing workers are hopeful that full-time jobs won’t be lost.“I don’t understand why employees must lose their jobs because a company merges with another, ” said Guy Deslauriers, president of the Molson Employees Union.“Our opinion is that employees who want to retire or take severance pay can make that choice but there shouldn’t be any firing.“The part-time workers will be the ones to leave the factory,” he added.Louis Bolduc, president of United Food and Commercial Workers Union, said $80 million will be invested in Montreal’s Molson plant for new machinery which will require fewer workers to operate.Because of this, he said the number of jobs to be lost may actually increase.The two breweries have 1600 employees not counting the part-time workers.“In January 1990,400 employees (of Carling O’Keefe) are eligible to retire so that minimizes the loss of jobs,” said Bolduc.Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Friday, July 7,1989 50 cents Opposition will hold public hearings Liberals and NDP taking Via Rail on tour OTTAWA (CP) — The federal opposition parties have announced plans to fight what they call the strangulation of Via Rail.At this end of the month, Liberal MPs will begin crossing the country by train to hold hearings on a business plan that is expected to cut Via service, Liberal House leader Herb Gray told reporters on Thursday.“The government has in its hands the way Via Rail is to be strangled, effectively, in terms of service to Canadians,” said Gray.“Every part of Canada is going to be damaged by the proposals.” He said the Liberals will hold public hearings because the government refuses to do so.The NDP caucus is sending 1.000 letters to municipalities across Canada asking them demand public hearings on Via, said New Democrat House leader Nelson Riis at the same news conference.PLAN SCORNED Riis ridiculed a proposal by one Toronto-based company to convert Via’s transcontinental train into an adventure tour in which mysteries would be enacted en route for wealthy passengers.“In this mystery .I guess the first question will be, ‘Who killed Via Rail?’ ” he said “It’s absolutely absurd, taking over a public service and turning it over to a privileged elite.” The Ottawa Citizen reported Wednesday that Via has prepared a business plan which would drop almost all regional passenger train services, as well as the transconti- Welcome to Blanchette mill the eastern premiers last month in Montebello, Que.There, the premiers agreed not to discuss Meech Lake at their annual meeting in Quebec City in August.McKenna has been campaigning for changes to the accord since he came to power two years ago, seeking guarantees of rights for women, native people and linguistic minorities.Manitoba Premier Gary Filmon withdrew his support for the accord last fall in response to Quebec’s handling of the English signs controversy.Since then, discontent over the accord has increased.Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells, elected in April, has suggested he may withdraw his province’s support for the accord and British Columbia Premier Bill Vander Zalm has also expressed misgivings.McGuire said the new date for the talks — early November in Ottawa — would allow the New Brunswick committee to present its report to the legislature.It would also allow other events to take place, such as the completion of a Meech Lake committee’s report in Manitoba.At a western premiers’ meeting last week, Filmon said Manitoba won’t ratify the accord until substantive changes are made.The New Brunswick committee heard almost constant criticism of the accord during hearings in February, but also heard

Goldman, director of the Bureau of Competition Policy, said today.Investment Canada gave its blessing earlier today to the merger between Molson and Carling O’Keefe, which is owned by Elders IXL Ltd.of Australia.Goldman didn’t put any conditions on the deal but said instead the bureau will monitor the brewing industry for three years, particularly in Alberta and Quebec.John Labatt Ltd., which was Canada’s No.1 brewer, had called on Goldman to force the new merged company to give up some of its brand-name beers.The new company will be called Molson Breweries.“I will not hesitate to seek an appropriate remedial order if necessary from the Competition Tribunal should it subsequently be determined that the merger prevents or lessens competition substantially,” Goldman said in a statement.In making his decision, Goldman said the companies needed the merger to streamline their operations to compete with lower cost U.S.brewing companies.Goldman said he has particular concern that Molson Breweries will have more than 50 per cent market share in both Alberta and Quebec.He said that imported beer from the United States, smaller independent breweries and the continuing strong presence of Labatt should help maintain competition in those provinces.Goldman also said he considered continuing talks to reduce interprovincial barriers to trade in beer, which could increase competition.The merger, announced in late January, will create Canada’s largest brewing company and the sixth-largest in North America once the deal is completed.PHOTOCLAUDIA VILLEMAIRK Josée Jutras

political and economic situation as they were six months ago, says a group of business leaders.A survey released by the Conseil du Patronat du Quebec — a group made up of 440 senior executives in the province — says 69 per cent of Quebec businessmen surveyed think the political situation in the province is good.That compares with 82 per cent who said they were happy in a survey conducted by the same organization last January.The latest survey suggests the traditional split on the issue between anglophones and francophones is continuing.Only 36 per cent of the anglophone businessmen surveyed felt the political situation was good, compared with 83 per cent of the francophone respondents.This compares with 53 per cent of Quebec anglophones and 92 per cent of francophones who were content with the political status quo in the survey that was done six months ago.“It seems obvious that the language issue in Quebec is making anglophone businessmen unhappy with the political situation,” Ghislain Dufour, president of the conseil, told a news conference Thursday.PROBLEMS REMAIN “After four years of the (Premier Robert) Bourassa government, the language problems have not been solved for English-speaking businessmen and this has caused their confidence in provincial politics and the economy to decline.” Dufour noted all Quebec businessmen polled were more pessimistic in the July 1 survey than in the January poll on every question they were asked — including confidence in the federal government.nental train between central Canada and the West.The plan recommended cutting trains in the Montreal-Ottawa-Toronto corridor as well as the Atlantic Limited in the Maritimes.About 3,500 employees would be laid off, said the report.But Gray said public opinion could still force the government to reconsider.He argued that rail transport is environmentally sound and avoids overcrowding of airports and roads.French not going for re-election MONTREAL (CP) — Richard French, who left the cabinet last December in disagreement with Premier Robert Bourassa over language issues, announced Thur sday he will not seek re-election.French quit as communications minister when Bourassa used a constitutional clause to over-ride a Supreme Court of Canada ruling which ordered the province to allow bilingual outdoor signs.French, 42, who has represented Westmount since 1981, said in an interview the sign law is the major reason he decided not to run in the Quebec general election which is expected this fall.He said the law had breached both civil rights and provincial Liberal promises in the last election.“If the government had respected the Supreme Court decision, which was coherent with its political platform and coherent with what I personally have been saying to my constituents, then I would probably still be in the government and be hoping to remain there.” Other prominent Liberals who say they won’t run again include ex-environment minister Clifford Lincoln ; house leader Minister Michel G ration; and Pierre Fortin, junior finance minister.Former justice minister Herbert Marx, who quit the cabinet with Lincoln and French to protest Bourassa ’s handling of the language issue, has been named a justice of Quebec Superior Court.New 10 spot has hidden message?MONTREAL (CP) — Canada’s new $10 bill must be immediately withdrawn from circulation be cause the flag behind Sir John A.Macdonald’s head is a subliminal message to persuade Canadians to join the United States, Survival Canada, a group opposed to free trade, maintains.“Next thing you know, we’ll be the 51st star on the American flag,” spokesman David Mayor said recently.“Nothing should be flying above Parliament besides the Canadian red maple leaf flag.“Although it’s illegal, we recommend to Canadians that they inscribe ‘EnoughAssez — This is the last straw!’ on their new $10 bills and refuse to accept the bills at all banks.” The group believes the tiny flag on the new bill — which came into circulation on June 27 — was deliberately designed to resemble the stars and stripes of the American flag.A similar controversy over the flag arose in 1986 when the new $5 bill was introduced Divorced spouses of public servants to lose pensions OTTAWA (CP) — Divorced spouses of retired federal employees say they were ignored when Parliament plugged a hole in government pension legislation.“Thousands of women have been forgotten,” says Dianne Roy, the ex-wife of a retired Halifax military member.“It is unbelievable that our concerns were not addressed despite years of promised action.” The legislation restored pension benefits to 6,700 survivors of former public servants, military and RCMP personnel.They had lost their survivor pensions when they remarried.But thousands of ex-spouses of public servants “have no security and they can lose everything if their former husband dies,” she said.Unlike the Canada Pension Plan and many private sector plans, federal pension plans do not guarantee that pension benefits will be split when a marriage breaks up.And even when divorce courts order a division, the order and the pension are wiped out when the former federal employee dies.“Most people who are married to military or public servants don’t know they can lose everything if the marriage fails,” said Roy.In her 25-year marriage Roy followed husband Gerald Roy to postings across Canada, raising five children and working part-time.They were divorced in 1986 and she receives half of his $9,500 an- nual military pension by court order.Her ex-husband has a private sector job and voluntarily turns over the other half.Roy said her pension income is well below the poverty line and she will lose it all if he dies.Roy and the Canadian Pensioners Concerned, a national lobby group, appealed to MPs and senators last month.But the Conservative government said further changes will have to await pension reform legislation later this year.Original

hotter as Liberals decline Pauline Marois: Planning strategy now for a fall election.By Sharon McCully BROMONT — Parti Québécois leader Jacques Parizeau says it takes more than one sparrow to announce spring, and it will take more than one poll to predict the outcome of the next provincial election.“Right now we are 35 per cent in the polls,” Parizeau told reporters in Bromont Thursday.“The level of discontent with the government will continue to rise,” Parizeau predicted, adding that by election time both major political parties will claim 40 per cent in public opinion polls.Parizeau, and PQ heavyweights Guy Chevrette and Pauline Marois were mapping out party strategy during a day long retreat at the Bromont resort in preparation of an official campaign launch later this summer.43 CHOSEN The party leader said to date 43 PQ candidates have been selected to run in the next election, and others will be chosen after the summer holiday season when the campaign gets into full gear.Parizeau gave few hints about the substance of the PQ platform, preferring to focus on the level of discontent with the Bourassa Liberals.“There have been a lot of defections in the government, and there is great dissatisfaction with the handling of negotiations with Quebec nurses,” Parizeau said.“It’s an indication of how the Liberals will treat other public sector employees when they come to the bargaining table,” Parizeau war- ned, referring to up-coming contract talks with Quebec teachers.Parizeau also had criticism for the Liberal leader for ‘putting all his eggs in one basket’, by trying to achieve distinct society status for Quebec within the Canadian constitution.“Meech Lake is dead,” Parizeau said.“It was just one more chance for English Canada to reject Quebec.” “We’re witnessing a reaction now of premiers because they recognize it as a first step towards separation,” Parizeau added.DON’T WANT TO STAY “A lot of us don’t want to stay in Canada any longer.There is a feeling in English Canada they don’t want Quebec either.” The quest for a separate Quebec will remain the cornerstone of Parti Québécois policy for the next election.If the PQ is elected, Parizeau said, sovereignty would be achieved through negotiation with the federal government — issue by issue.The PQ leader said there is no question of softening the stand on Quebec separation to attract the vote of anglophones and other Quebecers disenchanted with the Liberal party.“I don’t operate on pie in the sky,” Parizeau said.“Anglophones of the older stock see themselves as Canadians first.They see the Parti Québécois as the party that wants to breakup the country.lam realistic enough to know they would not vote PQ.” Jacques Parizeau: ‘Meech Lake is dead.It was just one more chance.' Canada given ‘plenty of time to prepare’ - EPA U.S.will take seven years to get rid of the asbestos itch By Scott White WASHINGTON (CP) — A ban on most remaining uses of asbestos in the United States is being introduced in a way that should give Canadian asbestos mines time to prepare, a government official said Thursday.The prohibition will be phased in over the next seven years and ap- ply only to new products.“Exports of asbestos from Canada to the United States are not so significant that the impact should be terribly disruptive,” said William Reilly, administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.“There is plenty of time to prepare for that impact and plan for it, and we would expect that Canada will take the necessary measures to do that.” Canada supplies 94 per cent of the asbestos used in the United States, most of it coming from Quebec.Reilly said importing, processing and using asbestos in manufacturing will be outlawed by 1996.The ban will affect products such as pipeline wrap, brake pads, roof coatings and asbestos concrete pipes.Reilly said technology exists to use safer materials.He said the seven-year period should give Canadian producers time to prepare for the ban.The first of three stages of the ban begins next year, but most products will be allowed until the final stage in ’96.Canada’s annual exports of raw asbestos fibre to the U.S.represent about 12 per cent of a worldwide total of 705,000 tonnes.As health concerns about asbestos have increased over the years, Canada’s asbestos industry has decreased.About 4000 of 7000 jobs in Evert strikers ready to rally for- the cause Thetford closes ranks to push unwanted product By David Tweedie THETFORD MINES — Reaction is virtually unanimous in the asbestos mining region of Quebec to the American ban.People in the towns of Asbestos and Thetford Mines are not happy with the ruling.They say it flies in the face of international recognition of asbestos as a safe product, when used under controlled conditions.“I think it’s much too premature to talk of the death of the industry.” Jean Dupéré is the chairman of the Asbestos Institute of Canada, and president of the asbestos mining partnership in the town of Thetford Mines.He says the American market is not as important as it used to be.ALREADY DOWN In an interview Thursday Dupéré said that in little more than a decade, asbestos exports to the United States have dropped by about 90 per cent.Dupéré says when it comes to the American market, a lot of damage had already been done.Dupéré says previous efforts to ban or limit asbestos had seen the market in the United States drop by about 90 per cent in a little more than a decade.Dupéré said what’s of concern is the possible ripple effect the American decision may have among other nations.He said the ruling could still have a major impact — if other nations follow the American lead.“What is of concern to us, and has yet to be established or determined and assessed, is what impact it wil have on the major trade partners of the United States — what kind of influence the United States wil try to have on its commercial partners.” UNION POSITIVE Not surprisingly, Dupéré’s concerns are shared by the steelworkers union, which represents most of the asbestos miners in Thetford Mines.André Brochu is the union’s president.Brochu said if a lot of negative talk starts again about asbestos, “that could lead to job losses.” There will be a lot of support in Thetford Mines for action to save markets for its main industry.That includes office workers who are now out on strike against the town’s asbestos company.Isabelle Rancourt is a union spokeswoman.“Yes, we are on strike now.But as far as the ban on asbestos is concerned, we would have a consensus with the company.To back up asbestos, if it came to that.We’d be together.” LOCAL BUSINESS The asbestos industry is the heart of the local economy in Thet- ford Mines and the ruling is of concern to businessmen in the area.A pharmacist in Thetford Mines, Guy Dodier, says the decision will hurt.“Well maybe not too much right now but in the long run it won’t help too much for sure.” The new regulation of the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency can be challenged in the courts.Dupéré of the Asbestos Institute said a decision on an appeal should be made in the next few weeks.If the industry does challenge the decision, it’s clear there will be a lot of local support from the town which is now in the midst of celebrating — during its annual asbestos festival.NEW RECOGNITION Dupéré hopes the move by the United States will not break the new-found recognition asbestos has as a safe product — if used carefully.“We thought that we were beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel.That’s why this action is more or les frustrating, given the timing.” “What we deplore is the fact the United States is going alone in the direction they’re taking because the international consensus is to the effect that asbestos can be controlled, and safe use is acknowledged.” U.S.WRONG?“That was evidenced,” he added, “by international agencies such as the World Health Organization, the International Labour Organization, the European Economic Community, which advocates controlled use instead of the ban.So in that sense the United States is not following the trend set by major medical experts.” The mayor of Thetford Mines, Henri Thérrien, is hopeful other countries will not follow the American lead.“We’re depending on the good judgment of other countries to rally to the side of international scientists who have decided that asbestos is safe, if used under controlled conditions.” *Ripple effect* frightens suppliers Asbestos: Quebec may ask Ottawa for help in legal fight By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — Represen-tatives of Canada’s beleaguered asbestos mining industry say they will keep fighting to preserve their markets despite a ban on asbestos products announced for the United States on Thursday.“We’ve made our case before the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and before the world.We’re certainly not going to back off now and let the industry be destroyed,” said George McCammon, acting president of the Asbestos Institute.“We’d hoped it wouldn’t come, we believed it shouldn’t come, especially since it’s contrary to international experts’ consensus that asbestos should be stringently controlled but not banned,” said McCammon, who is also president of the Quebec-owned Asbestos Corp.of Thetford Mines.McCammon said that the 80,000 tonnes shipped from Canada to the U.S.is only about 10 per cent of the total prdciuced."We used to sell 600,000 tonnes to the Americans, so we can live with that.It’s the ripple effect on the rest of the world that really worries us.What are the Japanese, the South Americans, the rest of the world going to say if the Americans are banning?” SALES RISE The U.S.ban comes just when Canadian asbestos mines, concentrated in southern Quebec, reported an increase in sales—especially to the Far East — in 1988, the first such rise in more than a decade.The fireproof fibre is used in insulation, brake linings, and as a reinforcing agent in concrete and roofing shingles.Jake Epp, federal minister of mines, termed the U.S.decision extremely regrettable and said it “will be a blow to all the workers in the absestos industry.” “These men and women have lived with uncertainty for many years, and many jobs have been lost,” he said in a statement.He said the controlled-use approach to asbestos is favored by such bodies as the International Labor Organization and the World Health Organization and most governments around the world.In Quebec City, provincial Mines Minister Raymond Savoie slammed the decision as “an act of bad faith.“We have had consistent reports coming in from international sources and from American judicial settings that demonstrated quite clearly that the EPA was on the wrong track.” Savoie told reporters he wants to meet Epp to discuss creating a fund for a court chaUenge of the ban.GO TO COURT " We will go to the U.S.courts and tell them that this decision is scientifically irresponsible.It’s a political decision, and is detrimental, not only to Americans, but also to the American economy.” The Asbestos Institute, funded! by Quebec, Ottawa and the industry, promotes the use of asbestos and has fought the EPA’s ban since it was first proposed in 1986.The union representing asbestos workers said in a statement that the EPA is being pushed by American companies who want to replace the fireproof fibre with their replacement products, which the union claims may be just as harmful as asbestos.The mineral, if breathed in, leads to respiratory problems or cancer.McCammon said the chrysotile asbestos from Canada poses no environmental risk to the public, from exposure to asbestos insulation, for example, while the occupational risk to workers handling it “has been or is in the process of being reduced through strict control.” There are several asbestos mines in Quebec, and one each in BC.and Newfoundland.—____tel lEGCOra George

since 1980.Last year, Canadian exports to the U.S.dropped to 85,000 tonnes — worth about $45 million Cdn — from a high of 700,000 tonnes in 1973.The action will end the use of asbestos by 1996 in all but a handful of commercial products for which no adequate substitute has been found and where concerns about health risks are minimal, the agency said.In the final phase of the ban, beginning in 1996, an estimated 94 per cent of uses of asbestos will be prohibited, said the agency.Reilly said he spoke Thursday with Canadian Ambassador Derek Burney about the ban.“He indicated this morning his obvious disappointment with the action we are taking and reiterated concern about its economic impact, particularly in Quebec.” DANGER REFUTED Canadian officials who have tried to fight the ban have argued that asbestos products are safe if handled properly.They’ve also accused the U.S.government of ignoring recent studies that suggested the hazards of asbestos have been exaggerated.Asbestos has been linked to lung cancer and other health problems.Its use has been declining in the United States for years.Reilly said the United States is anxious to eliminate “a known cancer-causing substance from the marketplace.” But he also said the ban “should not be seen as a signal to other nations, especially developing countries, that use of these products should be discontinued.” Canada has increased its asbestos exports to the Third World over the years, but Reilly suggested his message to developing countries was not done to appease Canadian interests.The agency’s decision was based solely on the studies done in the United States, he said, and other countries should conduct their own research before making any decisions on asbestos.Thursday’s announcement was no surprise for Canada's asbestos industry.The U.S.government first announced its intention to cut asbestos use in 1979.There has been great concern in the United States about exposure to existing asbestos in schools and other public buildings, but Thursday’s ban does not address that area.Still, Reilly said the ban would save 200 lives during the next 13 years by preventing workers from being exposed to asbestos.BY GARRY TRUDEAU YOUHMZTHAT, UOVP?I TOLD YOU THAT YOU CANO 6BT AlPS FftOM AN IN9BCTBITB!

Sister Bergeron received excellent medical care, and the proper medication, and there is little that could have been done for her, the coroner added.“Since the beginning she was highly affected,” he explained."I doubt we could have saved her.” Most of the nuns have recovered, but are still too weak to do anything strenuous for some time.Four nuns remain in hospital.Sister Bernadette Quévillon was on hand to express the convent's gratitude for help from both the medical community and lay volun teers.“All that you have done for the sisters of the Holy Family,” she said, “you did for Jesus.” * Coroner Jacques Corbeil: 'Her age was one point against her ' ¦X \ Keep tiie kitchen cleari» food hot or cold Some tips to avoid salmonella poisoning Sister Bernadette Quévillon gave public thanks: 'You did it for Jesus.’ SHERBROOKE (RC) — Salmonella is not a rare disease, and many people don’t realize that simple precautions can be taken to avoid contracting it, says the head of the community health department at Sherbrooke University Hospital (CHUS).In the last five years 1500 cases of the bacterial disease were reported by Quebec doctors, with 80 cases each year in the Sherbrooke area alone.Very few deaths occur through salmonella.Summertime is particularly favorable to salmonella bacteria—a time when it is more difficult to keep food such as beef, chicken, ham, eggs, milk products, salads and pastries cold at all times, said Dr.Marie Jodoin.“The bacteria also has no particular odor or color so that adds to the difficulty in noticing it,” Jodoin explained.She said precautions to avoid salmonella poisoning all involve common sense : • Cook foods properly — the process kills bacteria.• Defrost foods completely in the refrigerator until they are cooked.• Eat food immediately after cooking whenever possible or at least let it cool for one hour, then refrigerate in small quantities.• Keep foods that don’t need to be cooked in the refrigerator until they are to be prepared and serve immediately.• Pay particular attention to personal hygiene.Wash hands properly.• Keep surfaces and utensils clean and don’t use the same tools for two separate foods without cleaning them.• Beware of contamination after cooking by using the same tools used on raw foods.• Don’t keep foods for long periods of time, even if refrigerated.The symptoms of salmonella are nausea, vomiting, abdominal cramps, fever, diarrhea and numbness.Salmonella poisoning should be considered a possibility when two or more people who ate the same meal in the previous 72 hours show the same symptoms.JVlerry St.neighbors still ready to fight Magog couple push zoning battle back to town council By Ann McLaughlin MAGOG — A rezoning debate residents of St-Patrice and Merry streets here thought was dead, has been revived and made its way back onto city council’s agenda.In April, Magog town council scrapped a rezoning request to allow restaurants in the mainly residential neighborhood after about 50 citizens protested at a public consultation.But the rezoning proposal is back — this time on a smaller scale.“The request has been greatly modified,” Magog Mayor Paul-René Gilbert said from his office Thursday.Instead of rezoning a two-block area comprised of St.Patrice, Pine, MacDonald and Merry streets, the new proposal is to rezone only the one city block around Merry, St.Patrice and Abbot.Currently only bed and breakfast inns and professional services are allowed in one of the oldest areas of Magog, made up of century-old homes.NO CAFÉS “Outdoor cafés will not be permitted, indoor seating will not exceed 60 places and parking modifications have been made,” added Gilbert.The new proposal would also tighten regulations on multi- family dwellings in the zone.Buildings could have a maximum of four units instead of eight.But some residents who did not want the newighborhood’s character altered the first time are angered that council is making a second attempt.“We had made ourselves clear the first time, I don’t know why city hall wants to do this,” said Abbot Street resident Fernand Paradis.“This is the oldest neighborhood in Magog.We don’t want to lose our heritage,” Paradis added.“We stopped it the first time; now here it is back again,” said Victoria Street resident Paul Landreville, fearing that others might not know the issue has returned.“It looks like they (councillors) are trying to get their zoning passed piece by piece,” he added.“If this thing goes through, which block will be next?” Landreville wondered, adding that the commercialization of residential Magog might become a trend.Landreville added that restaurants belong on the main street and that some parts of Magog must be reserved for residents.SPOT ZONING What both taxpayers deplore is the technique known as “spot zoning” being used by council, especially while the city is in the middle of devising a new zoning and land-use plan for which the entire population must be consulted.“Why can’t they wait?” Landreville said, finding it unfair that the zoning request comes from one individual who bought an old home at 106 Merry and wants the whole area changed out of self-interest.Mayor Gilbert confirmed the zoning request has surfaced from one potential business but said he has no qualms about it.RENOVATIONS START “The area lends itself well to a restaurant.It already has bed and breakfasts, there is a community centre across the street and an art gallery on the other corner,” Gilbert said.Although town hall should be finished drafting its land-use and zoning plan in the fall, Gilbert added that council justifies spot zoning when a worthy project is proposed.Renovations are in full-swing at the Victorian-style home.The couple who bought the house obtained a permit to run an inn and have renovated the upstairs for such purposes.“Five rooms will be opening this weekend,” Ghislaine Lemieux said in an interview Thurday.The bottom floor is looking much like a restaurant, which Lemieux said will hopefully serve fine Italian cuisine — if the zoning goes through.The zoning change will be discus- sed at council’s meeting at 8 p.m.Monday at Magog town hall.'iai rir RECORD/ANN Mcl.AUGHI.IN Even without legal zoning, Ghislaine Lemieux and her husband are working hard to convert their Merry St.home.Want raises up front not later Don’t sign: Sherbrooke Hospital nurses vote with majority By Rossana Coriandoli SHERBROOKE — Nurses at Sherbrooke Hospital rejected a contract proposal Thursday which could have put an end to nearly a year of contract negotiations with the government.With 43 per cent of the 153 nurses voting, 62 per cent joined a majority of union members across the province to reject the deal which would have placed them among the highest paid technicians in the health system.Most members of the Quebec Nurses Federation don't think the proposed contract is good enough, according to United Nurses Sherbrooke Hospital local president Myriam Tremblay.The Sherbrooke University Hospital (CHUS), Hôtel Dieu and Lac Megantic hospitals all rejected the proposed contract approved by their delegates last week.St-Vincent-de-Paul, Asbestos and Brome-Missisquoi-Perkins hospitals accepted the proposal.ACCEPTABLE Although the nurses find the in- creases acceptable for the second and third years of the proposed contract, they feel they should not be made to wait another year for a larger salary increase when they have been underpaid for so long.“They expected more on the salary issue for 1989,” Tremblay said Thursday after counting the votes.“On the whole the proposal wasn’t disappointing, but they just asked why not have more for 1989?” The government’s “final offer” — as Premier Robert Bourassa has called it — gives nurses a salary increase of 4 per cent in 1989,7.5 per cent in 1990, and between four and nine per cent in 1991, depending on seniority and inflation.By the end of the contract on Jan.1, 1991 Quebec nurses would have earned from 83 to 100 per cent of the pay earned by other health professionals in Quebec, reaching salaries of between $28,000 to $45,500.The nurses federation says Quebec nurses are among the lowest-paid in Canada, making between $24,000 and $33,000 a year.However, Tremblay said other factors influenced the way the vote turned out.“The fact that the vote was so spread out on different dates was definitely an influence,” she said.However, Denise Tardif, president of the Syndicat Professionel des Infirmières et Infirmiers de l’Estrie, which is affiliated with the nurses federation, said the method of voting was only a secondary factor in the results of the vote.“A great influence was the fact that the salary increase was divided among three years,” said Tardif, who was saying last week she was sure the nurses would vote in favor of the agreement.Thursday she explained that the union's voting method has been the same for years and it would have made little difference had it been otherwise.“It was always done like that and it was never a big deal,” she said, explaining that even if the nurses had all voted on the same day, it would still have taken place on Thursday.“It would have taken this long to inform all the members about the details of the contract,” she said.ENDED BOYCOTT UBy ratifying the agreement union delegates ended a two-month overtime boycott that affected health care services across the province.If the contract had been ratified nurses with 12 years experience would have earned $40,000 in base pay by 1991.A nurse with a bachelor’s degree would earn $46,000.Union strategists will be meeting in Quebec City on July 18 and 19 to discuss their next move.Tremblay said one option to be considered is going on strike.“There’s a good possibility we’ll take a strike vote,” she said.“It’s the only thing that’s left.” However she added the vote would not be taken this summer as union coffers were emptied during the two months of pressure tactics.Tardif, however, said striking is not an option.She refused to speculate on the possibility of renewing negotiations in the fall — at a time when other unions enter into contract talks with Quebec.One was killed in Lennoxville crash Drunk driving trial for student SHERBROOKE (RC) - The Quebec Court trial of Bishop's University student Patrick Shells, charged with criminal negligence causing death, reckless driving and drunk driving, was set Thursday for Sept.5.Shells, 22, of Knowlton, was arrested last December after the car he was driving hit a hydro pole, killing 22-year-old Bishop's student Heather Blair, of Brampton, Ont.Lennoxville-Ascot police, who tested Shells’ blood-alcohol level, found it to be .173 grams per millilitre — more than double the legal limit of .08, the court was told during the preliminary hearing Thursday.Shells faces charges of criminal negligence causing death, drunken driving causing death, and reckless driving causing death.His lawyer Conrad Chapdelaine told the court he had no witnesses to present.The Superior Court trial will be by judge and jury.The accident happened at 3:40 a.m.on Dec.11 1988, when Shells, driving from the northeast on Moulton Hill Road, failed to stop at the stop sign, then hit the hydro pole on the right hand side after the St.Francis Street intersection.Blair died on impact and was pronounced dead at Hôtel Dieu Hospital in Sherbrooke the text is printed on greyish or colour background 4—The RECORD—Friday, July 7, 1989 #1____ttg-l tfccora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Who does Magog belong to anyway?What’s a little bit of sneakiness among neighbors?At least that’s the motto Magog Mayor Paul-René Gilbert — head of ‘the council that wouldn’t give up’ — seems to live and work by.It would seem that town council just refuses to accept the will of the residents they represent, and plans to just go ahead with plans to bring Magog into the 20th century.But is that fair—and wise?Particularly as this is an issue everyone thought to be dead.Is council flogging a dead horse, as they say, or just trying to get away with murder?Last April, Magog town council scrapped a rezoning request to allow restaurants in the mainly residential Merry-St-Patrice neighborhood after about 50 citizens protested at a public consultation.Now the proposal is back.On a smaller scale, but back nonetheless.The point is that the residents were none too keen to see their neighborhood — the oldest and quaintest in Magog — made to look like Crescent Street in Montreal.So council is going at it the roundabout way, by rezoning a small spot — just a block, mind you — for now.Council is saying it wants to rezone only one block instead of a two-block area.Sounds innocent enough, but maybe suspect when taking into account that it should be finished drafting a complete new land-use and zoning plan by fall.So what’s the hurry Mr.Gilbert?Whatls the hurry?Council is in a hurry to rezone to allow the tourist industry to take over Magog, so more money comes in.Sounds like a good enough idea, but only if that’s the road residents want their town to take.That is definitely not the case in the contested neighborhood of Magog.In this case, residents want Magog to stay the way it is, and after all, it is their home we’re talking about.Right now only bed and breakfast inns and professional services are allowed in one of the oldest areas of Magog, made up of century-old homes.If “spot” zoning is allowed to take place, little by little Magog will take on a different appearance, and soon enough will change so it has a completely different flavor.One that caters to tourists — which is not bad in itself — but one that is not to the liking of residents.If that is allowed to happen the question will become : who does the town belong to, anyway ; its citizens or the town council they elect?ROSSANA CORIANDOLI Tensions are high over shifted schools By Laurie Stephens WINDSOR, Ont.(CP) — The stately facade of Catholic Central high school belies the ruin within.Cracked walls are dotted with graffiti.Ancient curtains droop from their tracks.Cardboard covers the windows in the tiny gymnasium and water leaks through gaping holes in classroom ceilings.It's not much of a school, but it’s more than the Windsor Roman Catholic school board had four years ago.In 1984, the Ontario government’s decision to expand funding of Catholic high schools to all grades was welcomed by the province’s separate system.But in the short term it has proved a mixed blessing.The upside is that today, more than 90 per cent of Grade 8 separate school students choose to attend a Catholic high school in areas of the province where they are available.That’s up significantly from pre-1984 years when parents had to pay the costs after Grade 10, says Eileen Lennon, president of the Ontario Catholic Teachers Association.NO CAPITAL The downside: while the government provided operating grants for each student, there was no immediate money for new schools to accommodate rising enrolments.Both school systems were told the province’s education facilities — worth $17 billion — had to be “appropriately utilized" before the government spent more money on new buildings, says Education MinisterChris Ward.The Catholic boards immediately began to scrounge for sites and raise taxes to offset rising deficits.They bought portables and bartered with public boards to lease or share existing schools.The juggling was especially active in Northern and southwestern Ontario and the Ottawa region, says Ernest Nyitrai, executive director of the Ontario Separate School Trustees’ Association.T ensions are still high in those areas over the shift of schools,” he says.In April 1988, the Education Ministry came up with $900 million for renovations and construction of new schools.Another $300 million was committed this spring.The government also announced the rich industrial tax base — previously the domain of public boards — would be shared by both school systems adding an estimated $300 million a year to the separate school coffers within six years.The new money means the Catholic system can go ahead with plans to build at least 23 new schools across the province.ALL PORTABLES But for now, in nearby Essex County, a Leamington high school is housed entirely in portables, sharing gyms with an elementary school on the same site.In nearby Amherstburg, separate and public high schools share a building.Rod Pauhn, principal of the public part of the school, said teachers have to be careful with discipline because disgruntled students “can just walk up 17 stairs’’ to register in the Catholic school.Blaikie: Meech will let Quebec become independent The province of Quebec will be an independent nation in 20 years if the Meech Lake accord is ever ratified, Peter Blaikie, chairman of the board of Alliance Quebec, warned today.In a telephone conversation, Blaikie said that Meech Lake will make it possible for Quebec to become “either legally separate within confederation, or to go out on its own (entirely).” Through Meech Lake, says Blaikie, Quebec will be able to pass “provocative legislation” which will ultimately weaken Canada.The field of communications was given as a possible area in which such legislation could be passed.If Meech Lake is ratified, Blaikie speculates that “within five years Quebec will seek to legislate control over communications.” At the moment, the Canadian Ra- Commentary By Dan Hawaleshka dio-Television and Telecommunications Commission regulates communications across the country.Quebec would be in a position to initiate such legislation because of the special status conveyed by the “distinct society” clause within the Meech Lake accord.Should the federal government, other provincial governments, or private institutions legally contest the definition of the “distinct society” clause which Quebec employes to justify its legislative action, then Quebec would become embroiled in a legal battle which, Blaikie cautioned, would potentially be “devisive” for the country as a whole.Aside from the “distinct society” clause, Meech Lake also includes giving the provinces an increased say in the appointment of Supreme Court judges, greater control over immigration and the right to decline participation in shared-cost programs with the federal government with full financial compensation.The problem, Blaikie says, is that Meech lake “takes a decentralized country and decentralizes it beyond a reasonable limit.” As for support groups which Alliance Quebec relies on to keep it abreast of English language rights is- sues in Quebec, Blaikie noted that groups like the Townshippers Association have an important role to play.Through the Townshippers Association, Alliance Quebec remains “more sensitive” to language issues off the island of Montreal, noted Blaikie.As proof of the strong links between the two groups, Blaikie pointed out that following last May’s annual meeting of Alliance Quebec’s various associations and chapters in Quebec, both the Alliance and the Townshippers exchanged formal letters of support for each other’s organizations.In the end, Blaikie describes himself as someone who is “fighting for a nation,” because as he puts it, “Canada is experiencing hardening of the arteries.” sc^I, fyuncAL CANDIDATES L =ssssaa«r Inquiry paints bleak picture of injustice toward natives By Richard Hoffman The Canadian Press F our inquiries into the treatment of natives in Canada's justice system have painted a bleak portrait of abuse and misunderstanding by white-dominated courts and police.The question now on the minds of native leaders and legal observers is whether the intense examinations will lead to changes in the justice system The recurring theme in the four inquiries — starting with the Donald Marshall case in Nova Scotia, followed by ones in Ontario, Manitoba and Alberta — is that natives are largely excluded from the criminal justice system, except as defendants.“There is a depressing repetition to all of these inquiries,’’ says Doug Saunders, a professor of law at the University of British Columbia who specializes in native justice.“It’s all been said before, by other inquiries before them — Indian people are victimized by a white criminal justice system.” Aside from teaching law, Saunders is an adviser to Manitoba’s inquiry into native justice that was partly sparked by the 1971 rape and murder of Cree teenager Helen Betty Osborne.It took 16 years before a white man was finally arrested, although others may have been involved.Osborne had been stabbed 56 times with a screwdriver.She was so badly mutilated her mother confirmed her identity only from her eyebrows.Testimony has suggested it may have taken so long to bring Osborne’s murderer to justice because of the silent complicity of local townspeople who knew her killers but didn't tell police.SEPARATE JUSTICE Saunders says the problem won’t be resolved until Ottawa and the provinces create a separate justice system for natives — one that would include native police, courts, jails and supporting social services.The idea has gained the support of the Canadian Bar Association and a recent poll suggested 73 per cent of Canadians supported such a separate justice system.At least one of the inquiries has agreed, but it is an ideal successive provincial and federal governments have failed to act upon.The creation of such a system was one of the major recommendations of the Ontario task force into police racism earlier this year Members of the task force — created in the aftermath of the separate police killings of two Toronto-area blacks — were visibly shaken by chilling tales of Northern Ontario natives allegedly harassed and brutalized by police.Without exception, the task force found natives under-represented in the police and judicial system, yet over-represented on court dockets and in jails.Despite its recommendation for immediate discussions between Ottawa and Ontario to create a separate system, the federal government has refused to commit itself.‘DARK AGES’ “The way Canadians treat natives is still in the dark ages,” says Georges Erasmus, president of the Assembly of First Nations, pointing to the common theme of racism uncovered by the inquiries.“The same things are being said over and over again and nothing’s being done,” says Erasmus, spokesman for almost half of Canada’s million or more natives.Examples of racism at the hands of police and the courts also became key elements of an inquiry continuing today in southern Alberta.Premier Don Getty called the inquiry into the deaths of five Blood Indians after complaints of shoddy investigations by police.Natives have demanded similar inquiries in Saskatchewan and Quebec, but without success.But the biggest inquiry went deep into the heart of the judicial system.Marshall, a Micmac Indian, spent 11 years behind bars for the murder of teenager Sandy Seale before the real murderer was revealed as a white man named Roy Ebsary.Ebsary was eventually convicted of manslaughter and spent one year in jail before he died last February at age 75.DAMNING TESTIMONY Although the report of the Marshall inquiry won’t be released until the fall, there was enough damning testimony to suggest Marshall may have been made the scapegoat by white police and white judges.While Erasmus holds out hope the recent inquiries have created a momentum that will finally bring about a separate native justice system — something that is essential to native lea-ders’ dreams of eventual self-government — some observers remain skeptical.“Natives are at the bottom of the list,’’ says Bob Groves, a senior adviser to the Ottawa-based Native Council of Canada, representing about 400,000 non-reserve Indians across the country.“The assumption for the last 200 years is that natives should assimilate into white society, but it just hasn’t worked,” says Groves.He points to chronic alcoholism, domestic violence and suicide as symptoms of misguided government polices that have destroyed native identity and native self-respect.Groves says little will change until governments give up the notion that natives must integrate into white society like immigrants landing from some foreign country.“Natives don’t want to become Canadians.They only want to become themselves.” f The RECORD—Friday.July 7.1989—5 Environment —____fa-l tieamx Scientists make best of ruined research Aftermath: How does a hurricane damage a rainforest?By William G.Schulz Smithsonian Institution PUERTO MORELOS, Mexico — On a cool Friday night in this small fishing village on the Caribbean coast, a priest says weekly Mass in an open-air church.Across the street in the town square hawkers from a traveling carnival invite passersby to play an arcade game.The town’s lighthouse flashes on and off, a beacon for safe harbor in a place almost totally destroyed last year.On Sept.14, 1988, Hurricane Gilbert hit the coastline of Puerto Morelos on Mexico’s Yucantan peninsula with wind speeds estimated at more than 232 miles per hour.The hurricane was one of the largest in recorded history.When residents returned from government evacuation centres a few days later, Mayor Wilmo Zetino Itturralde recalls, many people wept openly at the sight of the devastation.Amazingly.few deaths were officially recorded.But damage from this catastrophe extended beyond human lives in Puerto Morelos to the vast expanse of dry tropical forest nearby.According to townspeople, normally reclusive spider monkeys wandered the roadsides in shock.High winds tore open the forest canopy — in fact, most trees were stripped of leaves and fruit completely, says Dr.James Lynch, an animal ecologist with the Smithsonian environmental research centre in Edgewater, Md.Lynch and his colleague, Dr.Dennis Whigham, a plant ecologist also with SERC, had been studying this forest for more than five years.They work in collaboration with a team of ecologists from both i Mexico and the United States.With support from the World Wildlife Fund, they have designed a series of related projects aimed at answering questions about how dry tropical forests function, the diverse community of resident and migratory birds in such forests and the effects on both from alternative agricultural practices.In less than a day, Hurricane Gilbert added an entirely new spin.NEW CHANCE The hurricane halted some of their work, the researchers say, but it also brought a new opportunity.The team began documenting and monitoring in detail the recovery of the forest.This work has never been done before, Whigham said, and would be impossible if the team had not collected data during previous years of fieldwork.“By studying this massive natural disaster, we can get a feeling for how the forest maintains itself,” Lynch added.“Such instant and violent change, for example, might help us put human disturbance, such as deforestation, in perspective.” For his research, Lynch uses nylon “mist nets” to capture, identify and band birds.The original idea, he said, was to shed light on the role of migratory birds in the tropics.Many species familiar to backyard bird watchers in North America spend winters here in the Yucatan.But few studies of their populations, habitats and interactions with resident birds have been conducted, he said.SLASH AND BURN In particular, Lynch wants to gather information that will reveal the impact on migratory birds of traditional agriculture — such as slash-and-burn clearing for cattle ranching — versus alternative practices under development at the team’s study site.These prac- tices include intensive farming of cash crops that requires much less forest clearing.Recent research lends a note of urgency, suggesting that loss of habitat from deforestation — here and in temperate zones — has reduced populations of migratory birds, he said.Conservation-oriented agriculture could help save birds and other tropical wildlife while providing an income for people who live in the Yucatan.The full impact of the hurricane on resident and migratory birds is not yet clear, but there have been some immediate effects.“When the hurricane first hit, the fruit-eating birds had no place to go,” Lynch said.Driven from the forest canopy in a search for food, many of the birds died.SEARCHING Shorebirds, meanwhile, have suddenly appeared in the forest, presumably also searching for food absent in their disturbed habitat.“I’m netting six to eight species that I’ve never seen before in thousands of hours of netting,” Lynch said.And some species of migratory birds netted frequently in past years, he added, have so far not shown up at all this year.The birds may be avoiding the disturbed forest, but Lynch said he needs more data to establish a clear pattern.The forest where Lynch, Whigham and other members of their team work is part of a ranch owned by Patricia Zugasty and Felipe Sanchez.They have made the development of ecologically sound agricultural techniques their life’s work.The Mexican state of Quintana Roo — where Puerto Morelos is located — has extremely poor soils for agriculture.As a result, the forestland here is vulnerable to economic pressure to clear-cut for hardwood and cattle ranching.CASH FOR CROPS Because so little agriculture takes place here, Zugasty and Sanchez see a ready market for vegetables, ornamental plants, flowers and small animals.The residents of Quintana Roo make up the majority of this market, which includes the tourist economy of nearby Cancun.“People are asking for these alternative agricultural methods in an effort to protect their forest,” Zugasty said.“They don’t want to cut it down.” With a little bit of land, used season after season, these entrepreneurs say, people can use their methods to raise cash crops and preserve much of the forest, which remains relatively undisturbed compared to other regions in the tropics.Those methods include irrigation and fertilizing with litter mulch from the forest floor.LITTER Nutrients in tropical forests are held mostly in trees and other plants, the Smithsonian’s Whigham explained.As fallen material decays, its nutrients are soaked up by living plants.Part of his research, then, involved studying how removal of this material would affect the forest.After the hurricane, however, most of this work became impossible.Too much large, woody debris is now on the forest floor to rake and collect litter as called for in the original experimental design.That study was based on an analysis of experimental plots, which either had leaf litter removed or were fertilized with phosphorous.One hypothesis about tropical forests, Whigham said, is that phosphorous is a key “limiting” nutrient.In other words, phosphorous in tropical soils may boost growth when it is present in suffi- Dr.Ingrid Olmstead measures the height and number of new leaves on

shifted to a study of the forest 's recovery from the hurricane.Whigham said.All parts of the forest are included in this work: recovery of the trees ; vegetation under the forest canopy and vines; the “re cruitment” of new seedlings sprouting up in the many new light gaps, and the decomposition of large woody debris from fallen trees and branches.For the trees.Whigham measures their circumference each year to monitor growth rates.Dr.Ingrid Olmstead, another ecologist working on the project, measures leaf growth in the canopy and monitors when the trees flower and produce fruits.Whigham said he is particularly interested in finding out how much effort the damaged trees will put into fruiting and flowering, as well as producing new leaves and branches.“The trees have had two major stresses this year, first the hurricane, then a lengthy dry season,” he says.“We want to see exactly how they’ll respond.” FERTILIZE Some of the plots he mapped out will continue to be fertilized with phosphorous to determine its effect on recovery of the trees.Whigham hypothesizes that productivity of the forest as a whole may be boosted by the tremendous new amounts of decaying material on the forest floor.Another member of the team will study the decay of some tree species.Vines and seedlings are being studied by Mexican botanist Edgar Cabrera, also on the team.The role of vines in tropical forest ecology is poorly understood.The hurricane has provided a unique opportunity, since it stripped most vines away from the canopy.Cabrera will measure and observe the regrowth of the vines into the canopy.SEED BANK Cabrera records the type and progress of new seedlings in the forest, as well as seedlings sprouting up in containers of soil taken from the forest.Another theory about tropical forests, he explained, is that seeds of new trees lie dormant in the soil until light gaps are opened, allowing them to spring forth.This so-called “seed bank,” he said, would serve to perpetuate the forest in the wake of natural catas- trophes such as Hurricane Gilbert.His work and that of others on the Smithsonian-led team might also provide knowledge about tropical forests that will help spare these valuable ecosystems from man made catastrophes.Forest birdlife was also damaged by Gilbert.Birds are banded to Jollow their survival.mm VS iiHl MPI Hurricane-damaged

comparable for all women, he says.He says after childbirth, many women show elevated symptoms of depression, including fatigue, insomnia and loss of appetite, “but not enough to be clinically diagnosed depressed.” The concept of post partum depression stems from a desire to explain a mental state that may have existed before childbirth, Gotlib says.TORONTO (CP)—The publisher of a collection of directories on homes for seniors is taking the idea one step further.There has been an overwhelming demand from older Canadians for information on condominiums, apartments and retirement communities for seniors, says Anita Wood, publisher of U-Choose, A Guide to Homes for Seniors in Canada.Wood, 50, plans to expand the guide to add suggestions on choosing an independent lifestyle home as well as listing as many as she can find across Canada.Don’t send money to unknown charities Dear Readers: A while back I printed a letter from a woman who was having a terrible problem locating Robert R.Stone.That was the signature on the letter informing her that she was a winner in a $5,000 sweepstakes.The letter instructed the woman to fill out the “winner’s form” and mail it in.She would then be eligible for the AU-American $50,000 Sweepstakes.And, oh yes, it wasn’t mandatory but since it was a charity for cancer research, it would be appreciated if she sent in a contribution of at least $5.The “charity” that would benefit, according to Stone, was the Cancer Fund of America.Since that column appeared I have received more than 20,000 letters from readers telling me that they, too, would like to find Robert R.Stone, because, although his address and telephone number are on their “winner’s letter,” he does not answer his phone nor does he respond to mail.Many readers reported that the “prize” they received was a cheque for 10 cents.Some received as much as 40 cents, but no one who wrote to me received more.At this time, the attorneys general of Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, Kansas, Hawaii and possibly other states have filed suit against Stone and some of the “charities” that Stone claims are helping cancer victims and cancer research.The complaints allege that the charities have used misrepresentation and false statements in their solicitations.Also named in the suits is Watsons and Hughey, a Virginia-based fund-raising or- Ann Landers ganization.Don’t send money to organizations you never heard of.Read the small print.If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Dear Ann Landers: What is a “date”?When my husband “Walt” and his pals go out on the town, they drop in at cocktail bars where there is music, meet girls and spend the evening talking, buying drinks and dancing.Good, clean fun, he calls it.I call it dating.Walt says they are just being sociable and enjoying some innocent fun.He points out that they never take the girls home or make plans to meet them again.Occasionally, he admits, some of the same women do turn up in the same places, but nothing is ever planned.I’ve told Walt that we wives can talk, drink and dance, and we wish our husbands would take us out instead of going alone, looking for other women.How about it?— Trudy (Bronx) Dear Trudy: No good ever came of a pack of married men cruising cocktail lounges buying drinks and dancing with girls.Furthermore, the wife has earned the privilege of being entertained and those evenings aren’t cheap And tell Walt something else.His wife wiU ne-verl slip him a Mickey and lift his wallet.Social notes 40th Anniversary Congratulations and

RAYMOND, CHABOT, MARTIN, PARÉ chartered accountants A FOUR LETTER WORD WE SHOULD ALL USE MORE OEM.GIVE.The giving begins with you.Drop in snowfall means longer growing season Quebec farmers may need to change crops Does the future hold less snow for Quebec?Less shovelling, fewer blocked roads due to winter storms?Sounds great, many would say.But for the province’s farmers, the annual “snow pack” is an important factor in agriculture as they know it.With experts predicting a significant drop in annual snowfalls over the next half-century, due to atmospheric pollution, farmers could face the need for major changes in their approach to the crop year.For farmers, snow is definitely a mixed blessing.Where the snow falls, and the amount which falls each year are vital factors in the total amount of water available for soils and crops in a given region.In addition, the blanket of white stuff protects arable soils from the harsh conditions and extreme temperatures of winter.The word from a special conference on snow, held in Quebec City in early June, was that the predicted trend toward less snow would mean a longer growing season, forcing farmers to grow different crops.On the bright side, it could also mean high higher turnover (more cuts per season) for crops like hay.“The farmer will be the person most directly affected by these changes in Quebec and all of Eastern Canada,” says Gerald Jones, a professor at the National Statisti- cal Research Institute of the University of Quebec.Jones is also the organizer of the annual Eastern Snow Conference.The Conference was initiated about 30 years ago.Each year, while most people are thinking and talking about summer, over 100 specialists from Canada, the U.S., Great Britain, France, Japan, and India gather into talk about snow and the impact it has on human activities, particularly agriculture.This year, the focus was on changes caused by the “greenhouse effect", the gradual warming of the earth caused by atmospheric pollution.As the atmosphere warms, less precipation falls in the form of snow.And less snow on the ground means the warming trend is speeded up even more, because the white snow cover reflects the sunlight up and out of the atmosphere : bare ground absorbs the heat.Trevor Davis is an environmental researcher at the University of East Anglia in Great Britain.He says that while the experts can be quite precise about predicting changes on a worldwide scale, it is much more difficult to be accurate when looking at specific regions.“The latest thinking is that we can expect an increase in the average global temperature of about 1.5 degrees over the next 50 years.But what’s really difficult to say is what that might mean in any given area.“Some areas will see more precipation.while others will get less.But as the air temperature increases, it follows that there will be less snow overall." One-and-a-half degrees may not sound like much But on a global scale, it’s a huge jump, scientists say.For example, over the past century, the average temperature has gone up by only about .5 de grees, and experts agree that even the relatively small increase has had a major effect on the world’s climate.Of course, it’s not all bad news.Warmer temperature could mean lower costs for farmers in certain areas, says Gerald Jones.A shorter winter means animals would not have to be kept indoors for as long as they are now, and a warmer winter could decrease feed costs.But these positive effects must be weighed against less attractive prospects.Researchers say that less snow in winter would mean reservoir levels would go down, leading in turn to higher costs of electricity.“Some people are also predicting more variability in our climate between one year and the next,” says Jones.This would be especially hard on farmers who depend on long-term stabilty from season to season.“The relationship between the farmer and government could be affected.Farmers might be made more dependent on government aid, as governments find them selves forced to shell out more mo ney in crop insurance payments, for example.” The phenomenon known as "acid shock" was also on the conference agenda.This is what happens when snow carrying pollutants into the soil.“Let’s say the amount of snow is small, but that it melts over a shor ter period of time That would mean that the shock to the soil would be greater,” says Jones.All in all, Quebec’s producers may face some difficult times ahead as they try to adapt to new conditions.Lawrence Kootnikoff is a writer and broadcaster in Quebec City.Expert: Canadians won’t revolt against taxes TORONTO (CP) —It’s Tax Freedom Day in Ontario, that day when the average Joe has done enough work to pay his tax bill for the year.But it’s no time to celebrate.Until today, all the money earned by the province’s nine million residents has been required to pay their tax bill.In 1961, Ontarians effectively cleared their income tax bills by May Day.They guffawed at the suggestion it would someday be Canada Day.Now Sally Pipes, assistant director of the Fraser Institute — an economic think tank in Vancouver — suggests that in a few years, it could be Labor Day.“We don’t really know,” Pipes said in an interview.“But we do know there are a lot of taxes that will come into effect by 1990 and 1991.” Add those onto the 51 taxes Canadians already pay and one could wonder just for whom one is working.Do Canadians complain?“Yes," says Pipes.Will they revolt?“Naw,” she replies.“Too conservative.” Docile?“Laid back.’ If that’s true, then highly paid Ontarians — the province’s average family income is about $50,000 a year — must be the most laid back of all.For Canada as a whole, Tax Freedom Day fell on July 3, two days later than last year.LENNOXVILLE YOUTH CENTRE Co-ordinator The Centre is a resource centre for youths from 13-18 for both French and English residents of Lennoxville and the immediate area.Functions: Under the responsibility of the Board of Directors the person would be responsible for: •Co-ordination of personnel volunteer workers and regular activities of the Centre.•Office work and resource person tor the Centre Requirements: •College degree in Social Studies or equivalent.•Experience in co-ordinating and animation.•Some knowledge of the function of a non-profil organization •Bilingual, leadership, self-reliant, and ability to work days and Thursday.Friday and Saturday nights $350.00/w«ek.Send resume before July 22 to: LENNOXVILLE YOUTH CENTRE C.P.126 Lennoxville, Quebec JIM 1Z4 ANNUITIES & RRIF’s All retirement options explained.NO cost or obligation.Also RRSP’s and LIFE INSURANCE.EDDY ECHENBERG 562-4711 835-5627 FESTIVAL CENTRE EXPO CENTER AYER'S CLIFF FAIR GROUND JULY 7, 8, 9, 1989 OPENING: JULY 7 at 6:00 P.M.Come one.Come all.Join fun for all!

une 13 at 9:30 a m.the Bury Jolly Seniors and several neighbours and friends boarded a Voyage Bellevue bus to take a little trip enjoying our beautiful scenery here in the Eastern Townships.There were 18 members and 23 friends on board as 6 or 7 had to cancel the last day or so due to illness.Picking up 6 or 7 friends in Cookshire we went on to Rock Island and Derby Line where we crossed the border.On to Newport and three miles beyond to the Fishermen’s Platter where all enjoyed a very delicious dinner which was very well served and the waitresses kind and courteous.After the dinner we again boarded our bus and went across the North-Eastern States which was a beautiful drive with many changes of scenery and crossed back into Quebec at Norton en route to Coaticook.There we visited the Coaticook Gorge which has recently become a great tourist attraction.As some of our passengers were unable to walk very far, they only visited the Craft Shop making a few purchases while some others walked the full distance and reported the view and many interesting places along the way were very fine to see including the swinging bridge (for foot people only) across the gorge and the high tower on the opposite side were really fine attractions.Since the walk was long and rough in places, some of the older passengers and handicapped, as I am.we stayed in the bus and heard about it Nonh Hailey.Quebec THE PIGGERY presents: THE 1989 HOUSE AND GARDEN TOUR Visit lovely and charming homes in Magog and Georgeville and take a stroll through some of the finest country gardens in the

by next month it will have moved too close to the Sun to be seen In the east are the three constellations of the Summer Triangle, each of which contributes one brilliant star to mark an angle of this dominant feature of the season.Arcturus and Spied in the west and southwest, and Antares in the south, complete the complement of summer's brilliant stars.Turn to the north.This is an excellent season to peruse the Big Dipper (Ursa Major).It is displayed to advantage now, with its handle sweeping up almost vertically and its “Pointer" stars (so named because a line projected beyond them points in the general direction of the North Star) lilting down to Polaris.On the opposite side of Polaris and rather close to the northern horizon, lies Ihe distinctive W-shaped outline of Cassiopeia, Heroes in the Sky Face south to find two heroes of Greek mythology.Look first for Ophiuchus, a large formation of moderately bright stars located above Antares in Scor-pius.Once Ophiuchus is identified, search above it for the fainter stars of Hercules.To the early Greeks Ophiuchus was a physician, so skilled at preserving life that he provoked the wrath of Pluto, god of the underworld, who deplored the decline in the number of souls being directed to Hades, a condition he attributed to Ophiuchus.On ancient maps Ophiuchus is depicted as a giant of a man gripping a writhing serpent (the modem day symbol of medicine) and standing on the head of the Scorpion (Scorpius).The faint stars of the serpent (Serpens) stretch on either side of Ophiuchus.The other hero is Hercules.Famous for successfully performing twelve labours, each of which required great ¦ ¦ National Museum of I ¦ Science and Technology Musée national des sciences et de la technologie Canada Arabic Star Names The heads of these mythological heroes are marked by slars with Arabic names that have common prefixes; Rasalhàgue («Ophiuchus) means “head of the snakeman”; Rasalgéthi (« Hercules) means “head of the kneeling one.” Star names of Arabic origin often denote parts of the body.“Rasai,” for example, means head.Other star names with this prefix are Rasalàsed, “head of the Lion” (Leo) and Rdstaban, “head of the snake” (Draco).One of a pair of interesting sounding Arabic star names in the constellation Libra gained notoriety several years ago.Zùbenelgenùbi and Zùbeneshàmali mean “the northern claw" and "the southern claw” of the Scorpion.(Before ihe modem boundaries of constellations were established, these stars were in the constellation Scorpius).Planets Saturn is at opposition on July 2.This means that it rises in the east at sunset and sets in the west at sunrise.In Sagittarius, it is the brightest “star” in “the Teapot” - the familiar name for this constellation.Turn to the west in the early evening to see brilliant Venus and, early in the month.Mars.Jupiter has moved into the predawn sky.By the end of the month its brilliant presence is low in the west at sunrise.Calendar d h (Universal Time) 3 05 NEW MOON 4 12 Earth at aphelion 5 04 Venus 0.1 ° S.of Moon 5 12 Mars 0.09° S.of Moon II 00 FIRST QUARTER 17 12 Saturn 4° N.of Moon 18 18 FULL MOON 25 14 LAST QUARTER 28 15 S.8 Aquarid meteors 29 16 Jupiter 5° S.of Moon Remember to convert lo Local Time.Curator, Astronomy i P O Box 9724 Ottawa Terminal Ottawa, Ontario K1G 5A3 Friday, July 7,1989 OOP^ fMM k(mm: WM WÆf> ©1946 Capp Inlarptiaaa Inc LI’L ABNER® bv A1 Capp ‘ PFLUT.TT' T-TELL HIM TO C-COME IN , GRUS5BIN5 *.r-AND-GRUBBIH» N L-LOCK ALL THE DOORS • Wi ALL THE W-f^Jw-WlNDOWS • rrr.— IOnt tr, NE» Inc A - - UGH '.'’- PERSON TO SEE VOU, SIR.I TOLD HIM IT VvOULD BE HOPELESS WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT-BUT -1 THAT WORD, SIR, IS * A MAGNIFICENT ^ HONOR-AND I DESERVE.ITI NEVER ^ HAVE BEEN OUT- h smarted in a _ e-ET -MFV/FD rr, ’ HE INSISTED I WHISPER , A WORD INTO TOUR EAR - ^ ARLO & JAMS® by Jimmy Johnson WET DAD' I THIMK I MOW WHY THEY CAIITW6M y v "FLIP-FLOFb"' J/ fuo?fV) 23 JoHtfopfr ;
