QUEBEC (CP) — Federal cabinet minister Bernard Valcourt should soon be moved from the intensive care unit as he recovers from serious head injuries suffered in a motorcycle crash last week, a hospital spokesman said.“He had a CAT scan to check for brain damage and everything is normal,” Pauline Lachance, spokesman for Enfant-Jesus hospital, said Monday.Valcourt, who is still not eating solid food, will spend two to three weeks recovering in the hospital, Lachance said.“His morale is coming along.His progress is normal,” she added.Doctors surgically reconstructed Valcourt’s badly damaged face on Friday after the consumer and corporate affairs minister crashed his 1000 cc motorcylce into a fence near Edmundston, N.B.last Tuesday.Valcourt, a father of two girls, “remembers about four or five hours before the accident but nothing afterwards, which is normal with this type of injury,” Lachance said.Edmundston police initially said that there was a high-speed chase after they noticed the motorcycle zig-zagging from side to side.Later, however, they said “it didn’t have time to happen like a chase.” Blood samples taken from Valcourt after the accident have been sent to a laboratory in Sackville, N.B.to be tested for alcohol content.It could take up to a week for the results.Police have not yet decided whether to lay charges.The fluently bilingual Valcourt, a native of St-Quentin, near Edmundston, was first elected to the House of Commons in 1984 in the riding of Madawaska-Victoria and retained the seat after a tight race in last November’s election.He was awarded the consumer and corporate affairs portfolio in January.Mulroney off to Paris for summit LONDON (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney arrived in London Monday night night on his way to Paris for the Group of Seven economic summit meeting.Mulroney will hold a brief meeting with Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher today and give speech in the evening.Mulroney leaves London for Paris Wednesday and the summit meeting of the world's leading non-Communist economic powers.The main issue at this year’s summit is the environment.Canada and the other Group of Seven countries — Japan, Britain, West Germany, France, Italy and the United States — agreed last year in Toronto to discuss environmental issues when they meet Friday, Saturday and Sunday.French President Francois Mitterrand, as host, wants the environment to be the dominant theme, as does U.S.President George Bush.*INm THl MR KMXtRMS.tTlH-’IH M \ IS A> FR > cun U I MI NI AR> SCHlXM Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Tuesday, July 11, 1989 40 cents 4The government better come up with a serious offer now9 Legal aid lawyers say no to government’s latest offer MONTREAL (CP) — Private practice lawyers doing legal aid work in Quebec have overwhelmingly rejected a government offer to increase their fees.The lawyers, who say they haven’t had a pay raise in eight years, are asking for retroactive increases — and payments — of an average of 8.6 per cent for every year since 1986.The government offer, however, put on the table an average increase of about one per cent per year and excluded the possibility of any retroactive payments.“We recommended that it be rejected,” said Pierre Gagnon, the chief negotiator for the Quebec Bar, releasing the results of a secret ballot in which all but eight of the 950 lawyers who voted on the offer called for its rejection.“It should be a pretty clear signal that the government better come up with a serious offer now.’ The 3000 lawyers in Quebec who take legal aid cases — about one-third of all the lawyers in the province — staged two one-day walkouts last fall to put pressure on the government to hike its fees.Gagnon said more such walkouts were likely unless the government came forward with a better offer.There are 350 lawyers in the province who work full-time for the province’s legal aid commission.They are not involved in the pay dispute.Jean-Marie Larivière, the government’s chief negotiator, would not comment on the lawyers’ rejection of the offer.Lawyers in Ontario make between 44 per cent and 1285 per cent more per service, the Quebec Bar says.For instance, an uncontested divorce in Ontario pays $600 while in Quebec it pays only $336.And a lawyer whose client pleads guilty to a minor offense in Ontario youth court makes $277 while his Quebec counterpart makes only $20.The rejection means legal aid lawyers will stay on a growing list of public servants in Quebec who are locked in bitter contract negotiations with the government.Nurses and teachers in the province are also pushing for substantial pay hikes but the Treasury Board is standing firm on a four-per-cent ceiling on annual wage increases.Wish of a lifetime Monday there was a wish come true for 13 year old Stéphanie Devost of Coaticook.A victim of cystic fibrosis from early age she was granted her wish of a lifetime from the Children’s Wish Foundation, her wish was a toss up between a computer or a new swimming pool.^CORD/GRANT SIMEON She got her wish yesterday.A new pool was sitting in her back yard, 25 feet across, four feet deep on the sides and five feet deep in the middle.Her father Bernard Devost measured to see if she would fit.She does, at four feet nine and a half inches tall.Against giving it to France MP Waddell: Painting should stay By Helen Branswell OTTAWA (CP) — Canada’s gift of a $1 million-plus painting to mark the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution amounts to cultural vandalism, NDP culture critic Ian charged Monday.The decision to give France an impressive abstract mural by eminent Canadian artist Jean-Paul Riopelle has the New Democratic Party MP from British Columbian steamed.“Prime Minister Mulroney has engaged in an act of sophisticated cultural vandalism in order to curry favor with the French government,” Waddell said in a news release.He also made the remarks in a news conference at Toronto’s Pearson Airport, where the mural used to hang.“No other government in the world — especially not the French —would even consider such a giveaway of its national heritage.” The mural, called Point de re- contre (Meeting Place), will hang in the new BastiUe Opera, itself designed by Canadian architect Carlos Ott.The mural will be presented by Prime Minister Mulroney at a ceremony on Wednesday.Waddell insisted the gift violates the spirit of the government’s own Cultural Property Import and Export Act, which is aimed at protecting Canada's national treasures.ENHANCING BOTH But an External Affairs official retorted that rather than losing a valuable artwork, Canada is enhancing the reputation of both the mural and its artist by presenting it to the people of France.“What we’re doing here.is giving even more recognition to the piece of art as well as to the artist himself,” Christian Sarrazin explained.“You’re enhancing in effect his prestige.So I don’t think that’s a loss to the Canadian patrimoine (heritage).“Obviously, there will always be questions ‘Should it stay in Canada?’” Sarrazin said the mural was chosen because the occasion required a significant gift.He likened it to the book Entre Amis, a pictorial study of life along the Canadian-U.S.border.Entre Amis (Between Friends) was a gift to the American people to celebrate the U.S.bicentennial in 1976.Sarrazin said he believed the budget for that project was $1 million.“Essentially, Canada was looking for a significant piece of art to give to France on the occasion of the bicentenary,” Sarrazin explained.“If you want to give a gift, it has to have some significance as a piece of art.” A large piece — its dimensions are 4.26 metres by 5.49 metres — the mural was commissioned for Pearson’s opening in 1963.It was on display in the administrative section of the airport.Man tries to prevent abortion ‘for her too’ MONTREAL (CP) — Jean-Guy Tremblay, who has obtained a court injunction to prevent his former girlfriend from getting an abortion, said Monday he took the action for the woman's sake as well as his own.The temporary order barring Chantal Daigle, 21, from having an abortion was issued by Quebec Superior Court last Friday, just five days after the couple split up and Daigle went to live with her brother.“The only thing I want to say to her is, I love her, and what I did right now is not just for me, it’s for her too,” Tremblay, 25, of Montreal, said in an interview.Tremblay said he and Daigle, who is 18 weeks pregnant, had planned to have the baby when they were living together in Montreal’s east end.Tremblay said that two days after she moved out, she informed him that she intended to abort the fetus.“You don’t kill a human being like that,” Tremblay said.“Espe- cially when the fetus is in its 18th week.CLAIMS RIGHT "I have as much right to this child as the mother and 1 hope the law will recognize that right.” In issuing the injunction, Mr.Justice Jean Richard set July 17 for a fuller hearing on the issue at Val d’Or, Que.Meanwhile, Daigle has gone to visit her family in Chi-bougamou.Que.The case recalls similar challenges in Winnipeg and Toronto in which former boyfriends, claiming rights as potential fathers, have asked for court orders against abortions.But Tremblay’s lawyer, Robert Francis, said the case is without precedent in Quebec.“It gives the fetus legal protection,” Francis said."And it opens the door to a debate on the rights of the father on an unborn child.” Francis said if Daigle disobeys the injunction and has an abortion, she could be liable to contempt of court, an offence which he said would carry a mamimum penalty of two years in prison.‘Part of Quebec’s heritage’ Premier made personal pitch to keep Steinberg By Penny MacRae MONTREAL (CP) — Premier Robert Bourassa said Monday he intervened to try to stop Steinberg Inc.being sold off to a consortium of Toronto financiers who plan to carve up the assets of the Montreal-based grocery giant.But “the laws of the market were respected,” Bourassa insisted in an interview, noting an option tendered during the weekend by a Quebec government agency and a Montreal shipping magnate is “slightly better” than an offer made last week by Oxdon Investments Inc.of Toronto.On Sunday, the Steinberg family granted the Caisse de dépôt et de placement du Quebec, which manages the province’s pension funds, and Socanav Inc., a Montreal-based shipping and petroleum products firm, an exclusive option to buy the retail empire.Bourassa, expected to go to the polls this fall, reiterated that the government wants Steinberg, Quebec’s third largest employer with 18,000 employees in the province, not to be sold to outside interests.Bourassa, who stepped in last year when the company threatened to close its 119 Quebec grocery stores, would not confirm that he made a personal pitch to one of the three Steinberg sisters on the weekend.But Bourassa spokesman Luc Harrison said earlier the premier told the sister, whom he could not identify, that the company “is part of Quebec’s heritage” and no jobs must be lost.Sisters Mitzi Steinberg Dobrin, Eveyln Steinberg Alexander and Marilyn Steinberg control a 52-percent block of Steinberg common voting shares.Under the option, the Caisse and Socanav have until July 21 to make clear their intentions and a further 10 days to make a bid.They would buy the common voting shares for $75 each and purchase three per cent of the Steinberg family’s publicly traded non-voting shares for $51.Oxdon Investments Inc.offered $75 or 1.5 Oxdon restricted voting shares for each of Steinberg's common shares and $50 or one Oxdon restricted voting share for each non-voting share.Steinberg’s board of directors is to meet Thursday to consider the Oxdon offer.Crucial to the government is a pledge by Socanav president Michel Gaucher that the shipping firm would “ensure the continued existence of Steinberg as a going concern in the retail and wholesale food distribution business.” Oxdon, owned by Oxford Development Group Inc., Gordon Investment Corp., and Kingsbridge Capital Group, has said it would sell off Steinberg’s retail assets, creating a new real estate company out of its property holdings.It has said it would try to sell the retail assets to Quebecers but made no promises.Oxdon vice-president Earl Rot-man said the company is studying the situation.But analysts called the new development a major setback for Oxdon which made an unsuccessful bid for Steinberg in January 1988.BIDDING WAR “It comes down to Oxdon bidding against the Quebec government,” said Steve Holt of Midland Doherty Ltd.of Toronto.“Obviously, the government has a lot deeper pockets than Oxdon.” Socanav and the Caisse have said Steinberg's real estate assets would be sold back to the Caisse to finance the takeover of Steinberg, on the block since a family dispute last year prompted the board of directors to seek offers.Analysts said Socanav would need concessions to make money on the troubled chain.“It is impossible to make a buck with those stores unless something gives somewhere — be it the cost of labor or the cost of rent,” said Holt.Under the arrangement, the Caisse would be Steinberg's landlord.But Philippe Gabelier, a Caisse spokesman, said the agency is confident the stores can be profitable with Socanav running the show.The Caisse is interested in Steinberg because of its real estate portfolio, “one of the best in Canada,” said Gabelier.Socanav has said it wants the retailing assets to diversify its activities.The Quebec Federation of Labor was hesitant about the latest developments, saying that Socanav has yet to guarantee jobs but Bourassa said he hopes they can be preserved. 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 11, 1989 The Townshi Record Neighbor heard ‘bang’, found bullet under the ironing Police in standoff as Sherbrooke man goes over the edge By Rossana Coriandoli SHERBROOKE — Backed by an armored personnel carrier, local and provincial police were still on full alert early Tuesday after spending all afternoon and evening surrounding an apartment block where they suspect a man had barricaded himself with a gun.The man, 19-year-old Stéphane Lafond, was apparently armed with a high calibre rifle, perhaps .308 calibre, in his basement apartment at 1565 Goyette Street in Sherbrooke’s West end.The incident was apparently sparked by an argument the man had with his girlfriend earher in the day, said Quebec Police Force Throughout the evening and into the night the tactical squad of the Quebec Police Force took up station outside the apartment.spokesman Jacques Robidas.The girlfriend said she left the apartment Monday morning when she saw Lafond was getting extremely violent.VIOLENT CUSTOMER Lafond is known to Sherbrooke police, who found a polaroid photograph of him they had taken another time.They would not say whether he has a criminal record.City police were sent to the scene at 2:45 p.m.when a neighbor called to say there had been three shots fired in the apartment, Robidas said.Early in the afternoon while ironing some laundry Lafond’s upstairs neighbor heard a bang and saw something pop up from the floor.She said she was trying to identify the object when she saw “a large hole” on the floor, said the neighbor, who refused to give her name.Looking pale and nervous, the young woman said she had been sitting right above where the bullet made the hole when she decided to do the ironing.She said she had never met nor spoken to Lafond in the year since she moved there, adding that he had just moved to the basement apartment from one above hers.The neighbor also made police a drawing of the layout of her apartment which is the same as La-fond’s.Police continued to believe Lafond is alive and armed, although short of actually breaking into the apartment they were unable to contact Lafond as he does not have a phone.A couple of hours after arriving on the scene local police deflated two tires on Lafond’s black Pontiac Firebird parked at the rear of the building.City police borrowed the services of Record photographer Grant Simeon, hustling him and his 300mm telephoto lens to their command post upstairs in an adjacent building.They used the lens as a telescope to peer into Lafond’s apartment.Officers from the Lennoxville-Ascot Metro Police department joined Sherbrooke municipal and QPF officers in the standoff.They were bolstered Monday evening by members of the QPF special tactical squad from Montreal.QPF Cpl.Jacques Robidas holds up the police photo of Stéphane iMfond, who they believe barricaded himself in his apartment.fl__«£1 Kama George MecLaren, Publisher.568-9511 Randy Kinnear, Assistant Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Uoyd G.Scheib, Advertising

traffic.They were also delayed because they stopped at Portland Boulevard to don their special uniforms before they got to the job at hand.Once on the scene the team quickly surrounded the building, paying particular attention to the rear of the apartment block, where Lafond’s window is in full view.By 10 p.m.the police task force had been reinforced by an armored personnel carrier brought in from Quebec City.It took up station outside the building.By that time Chagnon Street was packed with hundreds of curious onlookers and residents of the six buldings, which had been evacuated by police earlier in the day.Police reserved the gymnasium at Sherbrooke CEGEP and a hall at St-Joseph Church to house the residents of the evacuated buildings overnight.At 11:19 p.m.the special team fired four plastic bullets at the rear window, breaking the glass to get a better look inside.The curtains still blocked their view.I After a gunshot drilled through her floor from below, a neighbor of the suspect called police.Later she sketched thefloorplan, identical to that of the suspect’s apartment.Ready for anything, members of the Quebec Police Force tactical squad surrounded a Sherbrooke apartment building Monday.Uncle blames police for ‘problems’ Auntie disagrees: ‘depressive and suicidal9 SHERBROOKE (RC) — The uncle of Stéphane Lafond, who police believe barricaded himself in his home Monday, said he blames the police for the methods they used during the standoff.Marc Lafond said the young man is not depressive and was only upset because his girlfriend left him.“I saw him last Thursday — he was okay, laughing, making jokes,” Lafond said in an interview while police continued to surround his nephew’s apartment early Tuesday.“He had problems with (his girlfriend) Nathalie.she was pregnant.” GIRLFRIEND LEFT.The man’s uncle explained that Lafond was upset because his girlfriend, with whom he had been living on and off for several months.wanted to leave him.“He had problems in his youth.So he didn’t want his little kid to go through the same thing he went through when he was a kid,” he explained.He also blamed police for not letting any of Lafond’s family members get close enough to the apartment to speak to him.“I know I could have helped,” he said.“I wanted to talk to him, but instead they got the SWAT team from Montreal — they wouldn’t listen.” Lafond said he believes his nephew may only have injured himself with the gun he is believed to have fired, adding that if he died it is due to the lack of police action.WASN’T NEEDED?“I reproach them for their methods,” he said.“It wasn’t necessary to bring so many policemen from outside and use so many methods.” “A whole neighborhood is immobilized because of this.” Another relative disagreed, however.A woman who said she is married to Lafond’s uncle, said he is known to be mentally “depressive and suicidal”.“I saw him Sunday when he went to visit his grandmother at the hospital.he looked depressive,” said the woman, who would not give her name and hesitated to answer questions.“He has been talking about doing something like this since he was small,” she was later heard telling a neighbor.1 Marc Lafond.have helped.’ 7 know I could Weather Variable skies today, windy with scattered showers in the afternoon, the high 22.Wednesday will be partly sunny, the high 23.iDoonesbury BY

— The Townshippers Association is requesting that two more local health chnics be included in the Bill 142 access plan recently approved by the Quebec government.Townshippers president Mary Mitchell said the association asked that CLSC Albert Samson in Coati-cook and Lake Megantic’s CLSC Maria Thibeault be added to the list of Quebec institutions that must offer the prescribed English services.There has been no response from Junior Minister for Health and Social Services Louise Robic, in charge of applying Bill 142 — or anyone else, Mitchell said.The government made public details of the Bill 142 access plan Friday, after approval last June 21.The access plan prepared by the regional health councils (CRSSS) must be approved by the minister responsible for its application and ratified by Order-in-Council (cabinet decree) before it enters into Mary Mitchell.Add two more clinics.force.The Sherbrooke region (Estrie) plan was established with the help of a special committee made up a members of the regional council's board of directors and representatives from the English-speaking community.EIGHTH REGION In accordance with Bill 142, which guarantees health and social services in English to the province’s anglophone population, Estrie — roughly that part of the Eastern Townships east of Lake Mem-phremagog — is now the eighth region to see its access plan reach action.As the government communiqué specified.Bill 142 will enable anglo Quebecers to receive the same services in their language as are “provided to the entire population.taking into account the organization and resources of the establishments providing such services and to the extent provided by an access plan.” By that the government meant that Bill 142 would guarantee existing services but makes no attempt to look at other pressing needs, Mitchell said in an interview when she first heard about the access plan for the Townships.Having found some glaring gaps in the services offered under Bill 142 — the implementation of which had been kept on hold for about two years — Townshippers asked Quebec to include two local CLSCs in the access plan, Mitchell said.The plan identifies 22 institutions which are required to provide certain services in Enghsh.The list is made up of six short-term care hos pitals.three extended care hospi tals, six CLSCs, five homes for the elderly, one réadaptation centre and a social services centre.SHORT-TERM The short-term hospitals included in the plan are: Asbestos and Lac Megantic hospitals, which must provide reception and referral service and emergency service in English; St-Vincent-de-Paul, which must also provide obstetric service in English; Hôtel Dieu, which must also provide extended care psychiatric service.Sherbrooke University Hospital (CHUS) and La Providence hospital in Magog must both offer current services in English.Extended care hospitals in Coa-ticook and Saint-Louis-de-Windsor must provide reception and referral service as well as emergency service Youville extended care hospital must offer the same services as well as réadaptation, guidance and evaluation services for those becoming dependent as well as extended care service in English CLSCs must all provide reception.evaluation and guidance services and in-home care in English.Some other services must also be provided to anglophones by specific CLSCs.They are: • CLSC SOC in Sherbrooke must offer youth services, health services in the schools and community services.• CLSC Gaston Lessard — in Sher brooke and Lennoxville — must also provide school social and health service at Alexander Galt Regional High School, and health service at Lennoxville Elementary and Champlain College.• CLSC Alfred DesRochers in Magog must provide health service at Mansonville Elementary, Sunny- side in Rock Island.Princess Eli-, zabeth in Magog, and Ayer’s Cliff Elementary.• CLSC Fleur-de-Lys — Weedon, Cookshire.East Angus and La Pa-, trie — must offer health service at Asbestos-Danville-Shipton ele-, mentary, psycho social service and current services in English The five old-age homes Domaine de la Sapinière, North Hatley’s La Maison Blanche, Foyer Richmond, Magog's Foyer du Sacré Coeur and Foyer Saint-Joseph must provide reception and referral service as well as health care and assistance in English.The Estrie réadaptation centre and the social service centre for the Eastern Townships (CSSE) will also offer their current services in English.English-speaking Townshippers will be able to bring their complaints on Bill 142 to the Sher-' brooke-area CRSSS, which the government mandated for that and to.provide general information on-that and other questions touching English-language services.Satellite scientist looks up—way up—to help save soils Cheaper, better maps from the sky SHERBROOKE — An innovative Sherbrooke University scientist is trying to find out by satellite how what farmers plant —- and where and how they plant it — can cause or prevent soil erosion.The use of satellite images has been “a great leap forward in measuring the amount of soil lost to water erosion,” says Sylvain Perras, a scientist at the University of Sherbrooke.“Our results will be useful not only to government officials responsible for land mana gement but also to producers who want to compare crop yields and fertilizer applications with soil erosion on their farms,” he said in a press release from Agriculture Canada.To determine the extent of the problem, says the release, experts use an equation that takes into account various factors such as type of soil, length and degree of slope incline, amount of rain received, type of ground cover, and cropping practices in a particular region.MAY BE HARD “But this equation may be difficult to use when soil losses have to be measured over a wide area, because of the large amount of data to be processed.” A research project in the Sherbrooke region “will soon make it possible to prepare more accurate maps of annual soil losses due to water erosion.And the maps will be much less costly to produce.” The project is financed jointly by Agriculture Canada and the Quebec Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food.“It’s the first time that data from such varied sources have been used to calculate annual soil losses over a large area,” explained Perras, who works at the Centre d’ap- plications et de recherche en télédétection (CARTEL) remotesensing centre at the university.The data on soil use are taken from satellite images.Three types of cover were studied : forest, cultivated land, and bare soil.The slope measurements are taken from a digital elevation model while the soil erodibility index is determined with help from a rain simulator and included on a map, said the communiqué.Data on rain and cropping practices were obtained in the conventional manner.‘IT IS POSSIBLE’ When the data are fed into a software package, known as the Geographic Information System, “it is possible to solve the soil loss equation.” The procedure was verified for accuracy over an area of more than 500 square kilometres.The re- sults mean that the soil loss equation can now be used over much larger areas.“The cost of evaluating soil losses on such a large scale would be too expensive if it were not so easy to obtain the cover data and slope measurements with the SPOT satellite and the digital elevation model,” says Agriculture Canada.But Perras feels that the procedure can still be improved.In his opinion, soil map resolution should be improved to be compatible with the 20 metre by 20 metre resolution of the SPOT satellite, which was used as a basis for the study.He also said that the use of satellite images taken in the spring, summer and fall would make it possible to measure the changes in soil use during the year and evaluate soil losses with even greater accuracy.Sherbrooke U ni versify researcher Sylvain Perras: Satellites can help save soil by improved mapping.Low-temp system Sherbrooke saves bucks while PCB truck sucks SHERBROOKE — The city electric company has managed to spend less than the going rate in disposing of 700 gaUons of poisonous PCBs by using an ultramodern PCB-MobUe.The PCBs, used as an additive in cooUng oil for electrical transformers, were removed recently in a mobile extraction unit which also aUowed technicians to make the oil clean and safe for re-use, says the company which did the work.A mobile unit of ENSR Operations, Ltd.“has saved Hydro Sherbrooke more than $35,000 in the decontamination of 177 barrels of PCB laden oU,” the company said in a press release delivered Monday.“The savings were achieved relative to the alternative of shipping the 177 barrels overseas for destruction,” adds the ENSR communiqué.‘DESTROY PCBs’ “CaUed PCBX, the ENSR mobile service is a chemical PCB destruction and mineral oil reclamation system.The tractor-trailer processing unit travels to the site and processes oil in barrels, tanks or transformers to destroy PCBs and-restore oil quality.” ENSR says the company has decontaminated more than 15,000,000 gallons of oil throughout North America in the past eight years.The PCBX system is the most proven, experienced PCB detoxification service now available.“In addition to reducing concentrations of PCBs to an acceptable level of 2 ppm (parts per miUion), ENSR had to reduce a water content of 13,800 ppm to less than 10 ppm.” DOUBLE FILTERED “This was achieved through a double filtration process,” said the release.“A totally enclosed,

According to Raymond Cloutier, head of lines division of Hydro Sherbrooke, the experience proved to be positive, said ENSR.“Recycling at a low temperature does not generate dioxins and does not affect the environment,” he said.“Recuperating the decontaminated oU represents a 20 per cent saving for the supply department; thus the entire project involves a $200/barrel saving as opposed to using the destruction alternative,” Cloutier told the company.*8 V#» f- **¦- ¦ A mobile PBC-eating van was in town recently on a job for Hydro-Sherbrooke.One death blamed on toxic pudding Three more Little Sisters die SHERBROOKE — Three more elderly nuns died over the weekend at a convent here where another was killed ten days ago by food poisoning.But health officials said only one of the weekend deaths is being blamed on the Type D salmonella poisoning, which struck about 130 members of the Little Sisters of the Holy Family on June 27.The Sherbrooke nuns became ill after a dessert of tapioca pudding apparently made from spoiled milk.Coroner Dr.Jacques Gobeil determined last week that Sister Thérèse Bergeron, 66, who died in hospital June 30, was felled by the Type D salmonella Last Friday Sister Marie-Ange Simard.89, died in her sleep at the convent.On Sunday sisters Aurore Laurin, 88, and Alice Giroux, 92, also died at Mont Ste-Famille, their hillside mother house on Galt Street west.Health officials said Monday that only one of the weekend deaths could be blamed on the toxin, which spreads rapidly in poorly cooked or refrigerated foodstuffs.It was not known which of the nuns was struck down by the pudding.All three had been ill beforehand.Two weeks in the sun!(?) It’s almost time to spend that vacation pay cheque SHERBROOKE — Eastern Townships construction workers wiU spend more than $6 miUion in the next two weeks as they down tools for the traditional summer holiday.Many Quebecers consider the last two weeks of July, Les vacances de la construction, as the ideal time for a summer holiday.VirtuaUy all building sites in the province and many other industries shut down completely for the holiday period.This year’s shut-down is set for July 16 to 29.Vacation pay earned by workers in the construction trades is coUec-ted from their employers by La Commission de la construction du Québec, the provincial board regulating work in the industry.The amount equals 4, 6 or 8 per cent of their earnings, depending on each worker’s length of service.Hard-hats off.It’s vacation time.DOWN SLIGHTLY This year some 4632 Townships construction workers have a total of $6,393,565 coming to them in cheques sent out recently by the-board, regional director Douglas^ McArthur said in a news release-' Monday.The total is down by about • 5 per cent over last year’s because of a modest decline in building and renovation, he said.McArthur said any Townships construction worker who has not yet received a vacation-pay cheque should contact La Commis-’ sion’s Sherbrooke office at (819$ 565-9191 or toll-free for long dis$ tance calls 1-800-567-6931.Across the province construction^ workers’ vacation pay this year to-;’ tals a whopping $162,937,363, the release said.Much of that will be spent in the-’ beach resorts of New England, the vacation spot of choice for manyv Quebecers.Monday July 31 it will be back-to- ÿ work for most.ItT th€ rain • • .Though the rain kept most people indoors yesterday, workers toughed the nun and kept busy Monday sprucing up Jacques Cartier Park.Adding a few fences here, a few extra picnic tables there, a few kiosques here, and some decorations there, they were preparing the park for the Fête du Imc des Nations which will last from Wednesday to Saturday night.RETORD/KATHY MERCIER Original microfilmed at varying intensities because the text is printed on greyish or colour background. 4—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 11, 1989 #1_______fogl uccora The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Canadian art gift no cultural sabotage Why don’t we just wall ourselves in?One of the most preposterous objections to an act of government was made public Monday by the New Democratic Party’s culture critic Ian Waddell when he vehemently attacked the Conservative government for deciding to give France a million-dollar painting to mark the 200th anniversary of the French Revolution.Out of the mouth of a fool comes, “Prime Minister Mulroney has engaged in an act of sophisticated cultural vandalism in order to curry favor with the French government.” Waddell made the charge in a news release and then continued the tirade at Pearson International Airport in Toronto where the artwork currently hangs.It is destined for the new Bastille Opera house.The Member of Parliament is whining about a large abstract mural called Point de Rencontre or Meeting Place, painted by Canadian artist Jean-Paul Riopelle.Waddell argues that by giving the work away Canada would be throwing out part of its cultural heritage.Poppycock! He might be a fine politician but in this matter Waddell’s way off the mark.Giving away one painting among many by the artist — who has lived in France for years — is not a deathblow to Canadian culture.In fact, as an External Affairs official remarked, the generous gift will enhance Canada’s art reputation.Further, the sharing of cultural items in a sense makes such art more valuable for it is then seen and appreciated by more people.Cultural exchanges between countries as close as France and Canada are beneficial to both sides and increase understanding of the other.Waddell went so far as to say that “No other government in the world — especially not the French — would even consider such a giveaway of its national heritage.” Well, perhaps Waddell should consider what the Statue of Liberty is all about.France commissioned the goliathan work as a tribute to the alliance between it and the U.S.during the latter’s War of Independence.That was an intentional act, given as a gesture of shared ideals of liberty.It is doubtful that Liberty sculptor F.A.Bartholdi is rolling over in his grave about the new concern over Riopelle’s mural.Friendly countries are supposed to make grand gestures of recognition on occasions as important as a 200th anniversary.A cultural gift is in fact the most appropriate way to do so.Waddell’s objection must be rooted in petty political gamesmanship for it can hardly be seen as typical of artists’ own views of the world.They create so that they can share and such sharing certainly doesn’t stop at the border.If Waddell’s idea were widely accepted, then, the reasoning follows, Canada would not have any foreign works of art in any of its museums and — goodness gracious — no Canadian artwork should be allowed outside the country.This is sheer lunacy.If Riopelle himself is not upset about the gift to France, why should the Canadian public be?JOHN TOLLEFSRUD Canadian volunteers help poor kids sleep OTTAWA (CP) — When medical student Lisa Graves told university classmates in Ottawa she would distribute beds in Honduras and Colombia this summer, they pictured her with a mountain of box springs.The beds Graves will hand out to needy children are much simpler.The $28 bed kits consist of a 22-pound mattress, a mosquito net, a towel, a sheet, a blanket, a pillow and case and a pair of pyjamas with a maple leaf logo.This will be Graves’ second trip to South America as part of a team distributing beds for Sleeping Children Around the World, a charity founded and headed by businessman Murray Dryden, the father of NHL goal-tenders Ken and Dave Dryden.Dryden was engaged in his hobby of photographing sleeping children in India in 1970 when he noticed some had no beds.Remembering his own uncomfortable rests as a travelling salesman during the 1930s, he decided with his wife, Margaret, to make bed kits for 50 Indian children.Since then, the project has taken him around the world 15 times, and children in 24 countries have received beds.Kits are made in the country where they’re used, to create local jobs and to minimize transportation and material costs.And they vary slightly depending on where they’ll be used in.Some for Asian countries include tongue scrapers, and where monsoon rains fall they come with umbrellas, said Dryden.Service clubs, schools and ordinary citizens donate money for the charity.Receipts are pictures of children on their new beds.Dryden runs Sleeping Children Around the World from his Islington, Ont., home, relying on a shoestring budget and the enthusiasm of volunteers.The kind of frugality and management that made Dryden a millionaire is applied to the charity.“If you want to know how to recycle an envelope, SCAW can show you how — nothing goes to waste,’’ said Graves, recalling one occasion last summer when Dryden saved money by sleeping in Panama City’s airport rather than going to a hotel for a stopover.“Murray’s not the kind of person to think small,” said Graves.“He has a very big vision.” Tom Belton, a 47-year-old construction company manager who lives in Ottawa, met Dryden when he spoke at Ottawa Kiwanis Club last spring.Afterward, Belton, who had never visited a Third World country, volunteered to distribute beds in the Honduras and Columbia this August.Like all volunteers, he will pay for his own plane fare and accommo dations.‘It makes me scared while I do everything to help the earth’ Mr.Charles Bury Editor The Sherbrooke Record Dear Mr.Bury, Children are becoming ever-increasingly concerned about our environment.It is important for them to feel that they can do something about it.After studying from information supplied by Friends of the Earth, some ten-year-olds in grade 4 in Sherbrooke Elementary School wrote letters, copies of which are enclosed.It would be appreciated if you would find space to publish them.Yours truly, JOYCE BOOTH Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.K1A 0A6 Dear Sir, I’m really pleased to have you for minister of environment.But why do you want to wait until the year 2000 to eliminate the CFC’s?It really really damages the OZONE! It makes me scared while I do everything to help the earth.You see.Friends of the Earth research shows that CFC’s use can be reduced by over 50 per cent in less than two years, but only if you move quickly.I’m not forcing you but please do something! Now! Yours truly, MARIE-EVE LAFLEUR Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.K1A 0A6 Dear Sir: I have learned that the Ozone layer is getting thinner and thinner.I have also learned that that is caused by sprays, Foamers, Halons and many more things.I would be very pleased if all of those things disappeared immediately but it’s impossible.You can do something about that because you are the minister of the environment.People would be very pleased if some people got the CFCs out of sprays, Foamers, Halons etc.and there’s one way we can get rid of CFCs.Stop making them.Now! And not in the year 2000 and not in 11 years.Now.Yours truly, SARAH KRYSZAK Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.K1A 0A6 Dear Sir: I learned about what damages the earth.I think it is bad that people use the CFC’s in many items such as aerosols, foamers, chillers, solvents and fire-fighters.I want to have a good and safe life! We can help the ozone layer by not using CFC’s.Even if I am only ten and I can not vote, I would be against the CFC’s.We can use good things such as fibreglass or fibre mattresses, cushions, car seats, rug underpadding and other things like that.I think we should stop the CFC’s before the year 2000.We could do it this week even ! ! ! I think you should change your mind a little bit.You are doing a good job, but you should ban CFC’s NOW.Yours truly, Daphné Adoul Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0A6 Dear Sir: You do a very good job at your work, but 1 think you should change your mind a little bit.You want to make a new rule in the year 2000.You say that in the year 2000 we won’t be able to have CFCs in anything.I’m very glad you’re making this rule, but why are you waiting to do that rule?It would be much better making that rule NOW! The CFCs are going to the atmosphere and getting to the ozone layer.It’s making the ozone layer get thinner.So can you PLEASE make the rule of banning the CFCs NOW! ! ! Yours truly, Heidi Danbrook Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.K1A 0A6 Dear Sir: I think that you should make a law of not using CFCs because they are destroying the Ozone layer.Canada should also stop using sty-rophone and soft styrophone.In the North Pole there is a hole in the Ozone layer because of CFCs.I think you should make that law in the year 1990 not in the year 2000.Yours truly, Ben Cook Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.K1A 0A6 Dear Sir, I think you should make a law for nobody to use CFC’s.As you know the CFC’s are depleting the OZONE Layer.I also think you should eliminate the CFC’s today! It would be too late in the year 2000.Yours truly, Daniel Ryan Gagné Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.Kl A 0A6 Dear Sir: I respect the way you are trying to eliminate the chlorofluorocarbons, but it sounds like not many people got the message.Did you think that if the ozone didn’t return, hundreds of people would have skin cancer?Why should you wait to eliminate those CFCs in the year 2000 which is in 11 years, instead of 1990 or 1991?Maybe if we could use paper egg cartons over, and try to eliminate foamy things like food packaging, it would help?My class and I have been reading some pamphlets from Friends of the Earth, and I think they are right.If you could put more pressure, it might be a great help.I really encourage you to continue.Yours truly, Katia Patricia Pouliot Honorable Lucien Bouchard Minister of the Environment Ottawa, Ont.K1A 0A6 Dear Sir, My class and I are learning about the ozone layer.We have learned that all the products with CFC’s are destroying the ozone layer.We would feel a lot more comfortable if every product with CFC’s would not have them.It would be more natural.We learned from Friends of the Earth that some people in the government said they would take care of it in the year 2000, but thatis too faraway.If they do take care of it in the year 2000 probably the ozone layer will be destroyed.Nobody in my class wants that to happen.So we are trying our best to do something to help.We think you should ban the CFC’s now.Yours truly, Mandy Demers WE THOUGHT WE SMELLED A FLAG BURNING.o K\\ yj /// , P I Beware the Ides of March and the dog-days of summer I don't know why the Ides of March were famous before Julius Caesar got punctured in early Rome.Now of course everyone knows to stay away from sharp objects around the middle of March, particularly when they’re in the hands of their best friend.I have it from good authority that Julius had nothing to do with the Caesar Salad, nor did his wife tell him, “Julie, don’t go!”.It seems Julius’s big problem was simply being the Emperor of Rome.Oh sure, he was cruel and inhuman, but then all Emperors tend to be that way after a few years.It comes with the turf.As I understand the situation, his buddies simply tired of his table manners or his fiscal policies or perhaps his penchant for more and better spectaculars.maybe they were running out of lions.Anyhow, the story goes that his best friend, a brute of a fellow, pulled the short straw and while the rest of the government poked fun at Caesar, Brutus got him with his .45 calibre sword.LAST WORD Can we ever forget Caesar’s last word?“Et tu, Brute?" which roughly translated means “You too?You Brute?or perhaps something else.Julie seemed a little surprised to be gunned down in the street by his best friend, and not a little miffed.This whole thing happened in 44 B.C., which came after 45 B.C.due to a peculiar Roman way of counting Only 44 years later Christ was bom and instead of counting backwards they began counting foreward, which simplified the entire process.Where the pavement' ends m JIM LAWRENCE Of course with the birth of Christ, his teachings, and the resulting spread of Christianity a whole new way of looking at politicians evolved.We no longer jab them with sharp things when they fail to measure up to our expectations.That’s not to imply they’ve stopped stabbing each other in the back.But now they only do it figuratively which saves on parliamentry cleaning bills, and the wear and tear on their $700 suits.Politics has always been fraught with danger.Even before Big Jules got it in Rome those at the top were targets for mud slinging and the slinging of more dangerous items.Few self-appointed rulers lived to a ripe old age and generally ended up leaking blood on their jeans at some time in their careers.REAL POWER It was this unfortunate turn of events that prompted the monarchy to turn over the real power to elected officials.This year celebrates the 200th anniversary of the storming of the Bastille and the French Revolution.Inciden- tly Marie Antoinette did not say “Let them eat cake!” what she said was “Let them beat Jake” referring to Louis’s younger brother whom she was trying to blame for everything.Needless to say, Louis and Marie found the whole revolution simply a pain in the neck.It’s easy to see why other monarchs in other countries swiftly moved to establish modem government, rather than risk the sequel (Guillotine 11?) and lose everything.Abe Lincoln and John Kennedy proved however that the spirit of leader elimination is still alive and well and even when things seem to be going well, some nut can still appear with a .45 sword.Traditionally it is during the heat of summer that tempers flare and unreasonable actions take place.The Detroit riots occured during a particularly hot July.Gangs of rampaging citizens caused damaged into the millions and sent shock waves right across the continent.They must have been really unhappy about something.BALLOT BOX Fortunately, in our country — Canada the quiet — our political unrest is usually settled in the ballot box and few of our political leaders have been stabbed or shot.I’m sure Canadian politicians think this is a healthy trend.We Canadians tend to stiffle our anti-social leanings and rarely get upset about social injustice — or at least upset enough to do anything violent.I suppose that’s a good thing.However with Free Trade being blamed by the Canadian Labor Congress for more than 75,000 newly unemployed I wonder how long Canadians will be content to simply “grin and bear it?” When you quickly note a tiny statistical increase of .2 per cent of the population (which is what 75,000 people represent) you wonder how anyone could be upset.People often see a rise and fall of 2 or 3 full percentage points without comment.It’s only when you think of 75,000 people lined up awaiting unemployment benefits — and think of the people dependent on them, and the effect of their regular salaries on the economy — that the statistic starts to mean something.I’m sure the spouses and children of the 75,000 victims of Free Trade don’t think of themselves as mere, unimportant statistics.The dog-days of summer, when traditionally we have our hottest weather, are just around the corner.Mid-August is the time when even the dogs don’t have the energy to do anything but lie around in the hot sun.It’s a time when the unemployed sit around in their apartments and houses waiting for the telephone to ring, the call that tells them they’re going back to work.Perhaps it’s a good thing that Parliament closes for the dog-days to allow our representatives a long summer holiday.However it seems to me if even one Canadian has been unfairly treated by our government's policies, taking a summer break is unwarranted and undeserved.Beware the Ides of March.f Tbe RECORD—Tuesday, July 11.1989-^5 Farm and Business —___Ml Kccora Grain export markets: Canada to drop to third as world demand shifts By Darlene Rude The Canadian Press Every year shiploads of Prairie-grown grain are funnelled through Canadian ports and hauled away to distant markets.Where exactly does that grain go?Who buys those millions of tonnes of wheat and barley?The current customer list includes 70 countries ranging from China to Britain, from Senegal to Sri Lanka.The wheat may be used for everything from noodles and cookies to pancake-style Middle Eastern bread.However, a recent report by the Canada Grains Council predicts those markets will change and notes Canada is increasingly dependent on a limited number of buyers.“How do you split up the sales pie?” said John Morriss, a spokesman for the Canadian Wheat Board, the federal export agency for Canadian grain.“The observation is quite right that we have a lot of eggs in one basket.” THE BIG TWO The two largest buyers by far are China and the Soviet Union, giant countries whose collective mouths to feed total about 1.4 billion.In the 1987-88 crop year, when Canada exported a record 31 million tonnes of grain, the Chinese and Soviets bought one-third of that total.Japan also ranks as a key customer, buying several million tonnes of wheat, barley and canola each year.“We’re quite conscious that there’s more stability in 10 100,000-tonne customers than in a million-tonne one,” Morriss said.However, China and Russia don’t just dominate Canada’s export picture but also the total world wheat market.Year after year, the two countries’ crop prospects keep grain analysts on the edge of their seats.The number of customers of Canadian grain has grown from the 20 or so of three decades ago, but who buys depends on who can pay, Morriss said.CREDIT CHOPPED The wheat board used to pro- iFocus on Farming vide credit for some of its less financially stable customers, but virtually dropped that approach after some repayment difficulties.Poland, for example, still owes the federal government $2.2 billion on loans and interest for grain bought in the 1970s, Morriss said.The report by the Winnipeg-based grains council — a group of grain companies, railways and producer groups — also predicts major changes in world grain markets.Third World countries, whose demand for grain is climbing by 1.8 per cent a year, could be an increasingly big buyer for Canadian wheat.In areas like North Africa, demand is climbing by 15 per cent a year.“These trends are of great significance to Canada as a world exporter of wheat and barley,” said the report.Buyers aside, Canada’s ranking among world grain exporters will also change this year.EUROPE SECOND For what may be the first time, Europe will outpace Canada as the globe’s second biggest grain seller after the United States.Canada will slide to third place this year, primarily because of last summer’s drought which cut exports of wheat almost in half.Some analysts have suggested those rankings will hold for another year as Prairie farmers struggle to refill empty grain bins.“It’ll be close next year,” Morriss said.“But this (the drought) is a one-in-30-year phenomenon.” Unlike Canada, the 12 member countries of the European Community need about 75 per cent of their grain for domestic use.Canada exports about 80 per cent.Agriculture Department forecast: Bay Street whiz Kierans retires as brokerage man TORONTO (CP) — Five years ago, Bay Street whiz kid Thomas Kierans almost jumped to the public sector when newly elected Prime Minister Brian Mulroney offered him a deputy minister’s job in Ottawa.He balked at the offer when his father, former Quebec and federal Liberal cabinet minister Eric Kierans, joined forces against the move with his longtime friend, Tory insider Eddie Goodman.“My father was just dead against it,” says Kierans, president of the brokerage house Sco-tiaMcLeod, during a recent interview in his plush Toronto office.“He knows how the Ottawa system works, and he doesn’t feel that deputy ministers can make much of a difference.He thought it would be very frustrating for me.” As for Goodman?“He advised me in the most vitriolic of terms not to go to Ottawa,” Kierans recalls with a sheepish grin.Kierans stayed on and guided his firm, one of Canada’s largest investment dealers, through the bull market, a merger with the Bank of Nova Scotia, and the dramatic market downturn of October 1987.Last week, after 27 years in the brokerage business, he retired from the industry.HEADS INSTITUTE Neither Goodman nor his father protested.The 48-year-old broker, who has the reputation of being one of the best corporate financiers in the country, will become president of the C.D.Howe Institute, a conservative economic think-tank, in September.Kierans, who studied at McGill University and the University of Chicago, will also serve as the chairman of the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto and become an adjunct professor at a Canadian university.“It’s a complete integrated lifestyle change,” Kierans says, adding that his zeal to become more involved in public policy was decisive in the dramatic career change.“I decided that I would do it, but not without considerable emotional trauma at the prospect of leaving the securities business.” Farmers’ income to drop 16% in 1989 By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) — Farmers’ operating expenses will rise faster than their revenues this year, leaving them with a 16 per cent drop in cash income, says an Agriculture Department forecast released Monday.“The impact of last year’s drought really came this year.” policy analyst Wayne Jones told a news briefing.Despite the 1988 drought, the worst in 50 years, farmers achieved record net cash income of $7.3 billion, largely by selling commodities which had been stored from previous years.This year, there is little left in the bins to sell and operating costs have risen by about seven per cent.said Jones.If this year’s harvest is average, income will be about $6.14 billion.But if equipment depreciation is included in the calculation, farm income will be $3.7 bilhon, down 24 per cent from last year.The decline will be worst on the Prairies, notably in Saskatchewan, where operating costs will rise 16 per cent, leaving cash earnings down 32.4 per cent from last year, says the forecast.Average food prices will rise a moderate three to five per cent in 1989, but consumers can expect to pay a lot more for chicken, due to rise 10 to 15 per cent during the barbecue season because of reduced supplies and possibly by another five to 10 per cent in the fourth quarter.RECEIPTS RISE Total receipts for sales of Canadian crops and livestock this year will be $19.09 billion, up from $18.5 billion last year, says the forecast.Prices for all farm costs are expected to rise, including interest payments, wages for hired labor, feed, fuel, fertilizer and repairs.Cash income is expected to fall by 25.6 per cent in Alberta compa red with last year, by 22.2 per cent in Manitoba, by 15.8 per cent in British Columbia, and by 4.5 per cent in Quebec.Income is exected to rise 47.9 per cent in Prince Edward Island, 12.9 per cent in Newfoundland.5.8 per cent in New Brunswick, one per cent in Nova Scotia and .06 per cent in Ontario Jacques Petit, co-ordinator of the forecast, said the financial health of the farm economy is im proving despite the drop in revenue.He said farm real estate will likely increase in value in 1989.following seven years of decline Major farm lenders are reporting fewer farmers' accounts in arrears and a reduction in the total dollar amount of arrears, he added.If the 1989 harvest is average, it will boost farmers’ total net in come for the year to $4.64 billion That figure is theoretical, because it includes the value of product in storage, even if it isn’t sold during the year.Loblaws, environment groups wage war of words EDMONTON (CP) — The environment movement in Canada has been scarred by a controversy over so-called environmentally friendly products being sold by the Loblaws supermarket chain, say a company spokesman and environmentalists.Both sides blame the other.David Nichol, president and chief executive officer of Loblaws International Merchants, said the critical reaction by some environmental groups to the chain’s Green line of products is “tragic for the environment.” Loblaws operates about 100 supermarkets in Ontario and 12 Real Canadian Superstores in Winnipeg, Regina, Edmonton and Calgary.Nichol said his company was trying to show leadership in the re- tail sector.If the products proved successful, other companies “would have had to make the environment their No.1 priority.” But things have changed, he said.“After they have seen the ill-informed attacks since the introduction of these products, it’s safe to say no other CEO will have the desire to undergo the same thing.” The environmental lobby group Greenpeace has asked the chain to stop selling its Green line fertilizer because it contains solid and potentially toxic waste from pulp mills.Others have criticized the environmentally friendly tag on other products, such as disposable diapers.NOT TOXIC Nichol said tests have proved the fertilizer isn’t toxic and the media and environment groups have ignored the fact the diapers are not made with pulp from bleached-kraft pulp mills, the type which produce toxins.The environmental group Pollution Probe has been attacked for endorsing the Green line of products.Julia Langer, a spokesman for Friends of the Earth, said the environment movement will suffer from the controversy because the public now will be skeptical.Loblaws should not have rushed in with products like the fertilizer.Langer said.And she said Pollution Probe shouldn’t have agreed to endorse the products because the move jeopardized the credibility of the en- tire environmental movement.Brian Staszenski, executive director of the Environmental Resource Centre in Edmonton, said Loblaws should have done its ho mework on the products, but was too concerned with getting the jump on other retailers.“We didn’t want them to fail, we wanted them to succeed, but they moved too quickly.” Staszenski said the supermarket chain asked numerous environ mental groups to endorse the products, but Pollution Probe was the only one “naive enough" to agree.“It’s the old thought that businesses are polluters and environmental groups are supposed to catch them,” said Nichol.“That is wrong.” Borrower’s character, peer pressure help assure repayment Firm provides access to loans for Native business By Patricia Sarjeant The Canadian Press When Jeanette Eshkawkogan opened a takeout restaurant selling hamburgers and pizza on an Indian reserve four years ago, she mixed dough by hand and handed out change from a tin box.She didn’t think she was qualified for a bank loan to modernize her business and was hesitant about the paperwork involved.Instead, Eshkawkogan turned to an innovative loan program to buy her electric dough mixer and cash register.“There are no questions asked, and all you have to do is pay back the money,” says Eshkawkogan, who is repaying her third loan — $2,000 for the cash register.The loan program, developed by the Toronto-based Calmeadow Foundation, offers small sums without collateral to the self-employed on three Ontario reserves.“It certainly has helped me,” says Eshkawkogan, 47, of the Wikwemikong reserve on Manitou-lin Island in Northern Ontario.Plans are being developed to make it available across Canada, says Martin Connell, president of the private non-profit charitable foundation that supports other small projects around the world providing loans ranging from $1,000 to $3,000.“The need is so great,” he says, noting the foundation gets calls every week from native communities interested in the program.Intended primarily for women, the Calmeadow program was developed five years ago for the socially and economically disadvantaged in Third World countries.Two years ago, the program was expanded to the reserves, inclu- ding Kettle Point, near Sarnia, and Sachigo Lake, a remote fly-in community in northwestern Ontario.Unlike traditional lending methods, which measure a borrower’s suitability by looking at assets, Calmeadow relies on a person’s character and peer pressure.Borrowers form groups of four to seven, and then guarantee and approve each other’s loans of $1,000 to $3,000 at commercial rates of interest.Group members meet every two weeks to make payments.If anyone defaults, the group is responsible for repayment.“The peer pressure encourages repayment,” Connell says, noting there have been no defaults on the $103,000 lent to 84 natives by the end of June.The businesses which borrow are very small and often labor intensive, and require little capital investment.They are owner-operated and frequently home-based.Borrowers have included everyone from bakers, hairdressers and caterers to trappers, mechanics and artists.“We’re talking about the smallest of the smallest enterprises,” says Connell, who based the program on a similar one developed in Bangladesh a decade ago.Without assets to back the loans, potential borrowers would be turned down by banks and other len ding institutions as high risks.The foundation decided to help women because they’re disproportionately represented at the bottom of the income ladder, Connell says.Indians were chosen because they’re among Canada’s poorest people, and many small enterprises on reserves are operating from kitchens, garages and backyards.Connell got the idea for the program after observing the “hustle and energy” of curbside vendors and other sellers in countries such as India, Bangladesh and Brazil.LmL np! my CHiotiNe Dry

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 All-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.Ann Landers 55S535555ri 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 check for 10 cents.Some received as much as 40 cents, but no one who wrote to me received more.Most of the huge pile of letters on my desk (signed by Stone) refer to the following “charities”: Walker Cancer Research Institute, Pacific West Cancer Fund and Cancer Fund of America.In actuality, there are seven organizations soliciting people in this manner 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 organization.There are lessons to be learned here, dear readers : Don’t send money to organizations you never heard of.Read the small print.If you are suspicious, contact the Better Business Bureau or your state’s attorney genreal’s office.If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Stroke Club helps victims cope more easily MONTREAL (CP) — Baidya Mukherjee attends a social club whose members, given the choice, would rather be ineligible to join.The 49-year-old former welder is a member of the Stroke Club, a self-help group set up four years ago under the guidance of the Jewish General Hospital.Mukherjee’s stroke 10 years ago left him in a coma for three days and unable to speak at all for a while.Intensive speech therapy helped, but he still finds it difficult to speak at times, and to read or write.He takes several kinds of medication, has seizures and is unable to work.“My brain is not functioning the way it used to,” he said.“But I like to help the other people.I know what it is like, because I was a victim.” A stroke is an interruption in the blood supply to or within the brain, which leaves it damaged.The re- sulting disabilities vary from slight and temporary to serious and permanent.At their worst, strokes kill.At a recent meeting, about 40 men and women were sitting at a round table debating the finer points of controversial current events.Nearby, some men were playing cards.Across from them, women were hooking brightly colored rugs as they talked.A bingo game was about to begin, after which members would gather in a circle for exercises and a sing-along.Montague Buckman, a retired businessman who set up the club, believes it helps people to meet new friends, to feel better about themselves and to cope more easily.Programs include lectures, outings, exercises and musical entertainment.Referrals to the club have come from members or from doctors, hospitals or social workers with rehabilitation centres.LOOK FORWARD “Members really look forward to coming here,” said Lillian Muller, club chairman.“Many are confined to their homes most of the week.” Where the stroke hits and how severe it is has a lot to do with recovery, said Claudette Fletcher, a nurse and co-ordinator of the hospital team which helps the club.“Buta stroke affects not only the person who has a stroke.It also affects the family network.“Rehabilitation is a long and hard process.How someone accepts the level at which he can function has a lot to do with the environment he finds outside the hospital.“Someone who feels supported will feel he did better than someone who feels neglected and sad — so- meone who may have the same level of physical function but doesn’t accept where he’s at.” Muller, who had a stroke several years ago, believes attitude plays a critical role.“You have to clear your minds and accept the handicap because otherwise the handicap is always in control, ” she said.For her it was a long road : one month in hospital and two years in rehabilitation centres.At the outset, a psychiatrist helped her combat the depression that hits many stroke patients, and to develop a positive attitude.She now does her own cooking and even helps with the club’s annual Christmas party.“I find a lot of people are resigned after a stroke.They keep saying ‘I can’t, I can’t, I can’t.’ “They are wrong.I used to say it too.Now I say T can’t — yet.’ You can do it if you persist.” School reunions can be good therapy for you By Marlene Habib CP Lifestyles Editor Maybe you were a skinny pimply-faced kid who got kicked around campus more often than the varsity team’s football.Or perhaps your penchant for knowledge earned you the nickname Nerd City.Why, then, would you want to attend a high school or university reunion if your yearbook caption began, “The most likely not to.” ?Because reunions can be therapeutic, say experts on the subject.“They offer a wonderful chance to neutralize or resolve some of the hurts and problems that happened to all of us in adolescence,” says Tom Ninkovich of San Francisco, who has been collecting data on reunions for 18 years.“A lot depends on the person’s self-confidence,” says Bruce Haig, owner of a company in Lethbridge, Alta., that publishes an annual newsletter of reunion dates.“If they figure they’ve been a loser all their life, they may not want to go.But I’d recommend going.” PUBLISHES BOOK Ninkovich, 45, is founder and director of Reunion Research, a small company that gathers and publishes information on reunions.In 1983, he self-published his first book, the 63-page Reunion Handbook: A Guide for School and Military Reunions.The handbook’s second edition, released this spring, is 222 pages — the result of adding hundreds of suggestions submitted by readers.The guide includes ideas on planning and organizing reunions.“Reunions are among the strangest social events, ’ ’ Ninkovich said in a telephone interview.“I can’t think of any other event where all the participants have stage fright.Many people are so afraid, they won’t attend even though they want to.Even reunion organizers get butterflies.I know because I’m in that category.” Ninkovich’s interest in reunions was sparked during his 10-year high school reunion in 1971.PLACE TO TALK “It was so disappointing,” Ninkovich recalls.“There was a loud band in one room and 1 had a hoarse voice by the end of the evening.When organizing a reunion, 1 recommend having a separate room for dancing and music and another room just for talking.“Reunions should be quality time.Everything happens so fast and there are so many people to talk to.” For his next reunion 10 years later.Ninkovich was on the organizing committee.A newspaper that included articles from alumni was sent to possible reunion-goers a few weeks before the get-together to get them more interested in attending.Haig’s company, Historic Trails, is listed in Ninkovich’s handbook as one Canadian source for tracking down a reunion.Haig, 52, began publishing The Reunion Register in 1985 following his high school reunion that year.He charges $20 to each person or group wanting to include information about a coming reunion.The register, published every April, is sent to daily newspapers across Canada.Both Ninkovich and Haig agree that of all reunions, thoughts of a high school get-together are usually the scariest.Sources of the jitters vary, Ninkovich says.“The obvious one has to do with appearance and self-respect, or lack thereof.Maybe a former cheerleader now weighs 250 pounds, or the person voted most likely to succeed is in the streets.“But there’s another level that’s a lot harder to explain, and it has a lot to do with the hard fact that ado- lescence is the most awkward time in a person’s life.It’s a time when a lot of mistakes were made — both by you and to you.A reunion thrusts you into a situation that reminds you of those times and brings you face to face with some of the people involved.” Ninkovich says resolving hurts and problems that stem from high school doesn’t necessarily mean confronting an old enemy face to face.‘ ‘ It might be as simple as smiling at the person who stole your girlfriend or boyfriend back in high school 30 years ago, or discovering that the person you thought was a total jerk in school is a respectable person today.“But such potential is there, and it’s important to realize it,” he adds.“It’s very rarely in a person’s life that such an opportunity occurs.In fact, I think it may be a person’s subconscious understanding that a reunion offers such opportunities that may cause some of the butterflies in the first place.” Reunion Handbook: A Guide

attend.The party was a complete surprise for the anniversary couple, and they enjoyed a delightful day with their family and friends.Gifts and cards were presented, and the highlight of the day was a huge beef barbecue served with salads and baked potatoes.A lovely anniversary cake decorated in white with red roses was made by Dora Dubois, a niece of the Frosts.The beautiful weather made it possible for all the activities to be held outside and added to the “fun and games.” Present at the gathering were daughter and son-in-law, Lorraine and Bob Tremblay, Belleville, Ontario, with their daughter Angela; daughter Susan and husband Rejean Beliveau, Eastman, Quebec; son Brian and wife Yolande of Asbestos, with their sons Steven and Danny.Other relatives and friends sharing in the day

with a picnic lunch at Chalet Mount Sutton on June 5, one of the sunnier June days.After lunch the president, Joan Stephenson, reminded the members of the Winnipeg Conference in September and invited anyone interested to attend.Dr.Stewart Reid introduced the speaker, Russell R.Merifield, who is active in winter as Secretary-Treasurer of the Canadian Club of Toronto, and summers near Magog.Mr.Merifield gave a lighthearted address touching briefly on such well known Canadians as Charles Lynch, Robert Stanfield, Joe Clark and Pierre Trudeau.Americans Ann Landers and General Alexander Haig were mentioned as two speakers who addressed the Toronto branch — Landers though travelling in a wheel chair with 56 stitches in her leg insisted that she would not dream of cancelling; General Haig, though arriving late and keeping the executive on tenterhooks, remained to autograph his book.One U.S.Senator, supposed to be a great friend of Canada, did not turn up at all to give his address, and sent no word, either then or later.On another occasion when the speaker failed to appear the club brought in as substitutes Max Henderson and Donald Flemming They spoke pungently and to the point on the financial situation of Canada, and totally without notes.The speaker was thanked by Margaret Keefe, and the members adjourned for the summer holidays.Submitted by Marna Tucker

met in front of St.Augustine’s Anglican Church to await arrival of the bus to take them for an allday outing, with the main attraction being Upper Canada Village, Morrisburg, Ontario.The bus arrived on time, and to our surprise and pleasure, Tom Dearden was at the controls with Randy McCourt to take care of his precious cargo in Marlene’s absence.All climbed aboard and we were off.Although the weather was dull and on the cool side, we were spared any rain.We had good going through Montreal, had a short break on the way, and arrived in Cornwall almost an hour early for our dinner reservations.This time was alloted for a bit of shopping before we went to the Great Western for our meal.At this time the men had long faces and the ladies were all wearing smiles.Shopping ended on

Fanners Association hold meeting mother as the speaker for the evening who was filling in because the missionaries had not arrived from Nigeria.Mrs.Wise spent 20 years serving the Lord at Scott Mission in Toronto and she highlighted some of her experiences and how God had led through those years She stressed the fact there was a tremendous need for such a work which provided meals for those who needed them and at the same time sought to help their spiritual need and necessity of coming to know the Lord in a personal way.She also mentioned the five day camps she took the women to when they could get out of the city and enjoy nature and a time of fun and fellowship together, always learning something new about the Lord and His love for them.During refreshments served by Jean Wamholtz and Mildred Beckwith, Mrs.Wise continued to relate her experiences and answer the many questions presented.It was a very thought provoking message of God’s love and concern for mankind and how we too ought to share that love and concern for fellow citizens.The meeting closed with prayer.On Sunday afternoon, June II, Grace Chapel held their annual picnic at Parkside Ranch in Cherry River.Quite a few took advantage of this opportunity to get out and enjoy the country, as well as the fun and games in fellowship with other Christians.Obituary PERCY W.REED of North Hatley, Que.Percy
