new game in town is picking the cabinet.Premier Robert Bourassa has plenty of choice — the Liberals elected 92 members in Monday’s provincial vote compared with 29 for the Parti Québécois and four for the new Equality party.But Bourassa’s task will be complicated by the fact that all 22 ministers who ran again, including himself, were re-elected.Five of his 27 cabinet ministers decided to leave politics before the election for personal or professional reasons.The premier’s obvious priorities before he announces the cabinet Oct.11 will include finding spots for anglophones and representatives of the province’s ethnic communities.In a bid to start mending fences with the English community, which rejected four Liberal candidates in the traditional Liberal stronghold of west-end Montreal, Bourassa could turn to newly elected members such as Sam Elkas and Russell Williams.Elkas, a former head of the Mon-treal-area government’s environment committee, might be earmarked for the environment portfolio.WANTS OUT Environment Minister Lise Bacon, vice-premier and a longtime Bourassa ally, has indicated she’d like out of the increasingly high-profile ministry — possibly to concentrate on the less stressful Cultural Affairs Department, which she also oversees.A major portfolio for which Bourassa will have to find new blood is health and social affairs, left vacant by Therese Lavoie-Roux’s decision to quit politics.One of the names bandied about as Lavoie-Roux’s successor is that of Transport Minister Marc-Yvan Cote, although the appointment of the unilingual francophone might be perceived by anglophones as a slap in the face just a few months after legislation was passed providing health services for anglophones in their own language.With another winter ahead and more breakdowns looming in the province’s hydroelectric network, Energy Minister John Ciaccia might be tempted to take on another job.The affable Ciaccia has taken heat in the last few years for power blackouts which have plunged the entire province into darkness.STAY ON?But several of Bourassa’s top guns are expected to keep their high-profile positions, including Finance Minister Gerard D.Levesque, Treasury Board President Daniel Johnson, Justice Minister Gil Remillard and Education Minister Claude Ryan.Bourassa likely will also keep the astute Ryan at the helm of the province’s language law —the former newspaper publisher has distinguished himself from his predecessor, Guy Rivard, with his ability to keep a lid on the potentially explosive issue.At dissolution, Bourassa’s 27-member cabinet contained five women, including Bacon and La-voie-Roux, although two, Louise Robic and Violette Trepanier, were junior ministers.Liza Frulla-Hebert, a former 4 broadcasting executive, and Lu-* cienne Robillard.Quebec’s former public curator, are being touted as cabinet material, with Frulla-Hebert a possible replacement for Communications Minister Robert Dutil.Bourassa will also have to find a replacement for Michel Gratton, the tourism minister and the Liberals' steady house leader, who decided not to run after 17 years in the legislature.Apart from Lavoie-Roux and Gratton, the three other cabinet ministers who did not run were: International Affairs Minister Paul Gobeil, Industry Minister Pierre MacDonald, and Pierre Fortier, junior finance minister.Barrett in the wings as Broadbent leaves Ottawa By Gord McIntosh OTTAWA (CP)—Former British Columbia premier Dave Barrett ends the speculation today and makes his candidacy for the NDP leadership official, party sources said Thursday.Barrett’s staff have quietly booked the National Press Theatre for 11 a.m.EDT today, the day after outgoing party leader Ed Broad-bent announced in Oshawa, Ont., he would quit federal politics Dec.31.After a week of feverish speculation about who will be in the party’s leadership race, New Democrat MPs were among the last people to know Broadbent had decided to quit federal politics altogether.NDP House leader Nelson Riis said in an interview he was informed shortly before the afternoon question period the leader would leave the Commons at the end of the year.But the rest of the caucus found out after Broadbent announced his decision at a news conference in his riding, Riis said.Broadbent had announced in March he was stepping down as leader of the party.RUMORED TO RUN Sources close to Barrett said Thursday night those urging him to run won’t be disappointed with today’s announcement.Barrett, now an MP from British Columbia, has been rumored for a week to be reconsidering his earlier decision not to run.When rejecting the job this summer, he spoke out against the abuse party leaders face in Canada.Union leaders and British Columbians have led the drive to enlist the straight-talking Barrett, who was premier from 1972-1975.However, some party members are concerned because the 59-year-old Barrett doesn’t speak French.Meanwhile, Broadbent’s announcement was greeted emotionally by some of his colleagues.“Ed wanted to ensure his executive and constituency were the first to hear,’’ Riis said.“It was very emotional in the opposition lobby when the caucus members were informed.Some people actually had tears in their eyes.” Others, such as British Columbia MP Jim Fulton, were informed by reporters outside the Commons.But Fulton said Broadbent’s decision to quit his seat should be seen as something that had to be done after the party chooses a new leader at its convention Nov.30-Dec.3 in Winnipeg.‘IT’S NATURAL’ "It’s natural and I think it quite appropriate,” Fulton said.“Having a (former) leader who has had such a long and distinguished career in the House would make it difficult for a new leader to get up and take flight.” It was a similar reaction throughout the NDP caucus.Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Friday, September 29,1989 50 cents CN to clean up oil spill getting into river SENNETERRE, Que.(CP) — Canadian National Railways has complied with an order from the Quebec Environment Department to build a permanent reservoir near the town of Press, 350 kilometres northwest of Montreal, to get rid of an eight-year-old oil spill.“In 1981, a train derailment caused 800,000 litres of fuel oil to soak into the ground,” CN spokesman René Chappaz said Wednesday.“We immediately hired a company to clean it up and we thought we had managed to get almost all of it.But 20,000 litres see- ped through the sandy soil into the water table and are now finding their way into the river system.'’ The contamination of the river was brought to CN’s attention by Serge Lefebvre, president of the Confederation of National Trade Unions local in Val d'Or.Members of the union environment committee, which recently has been protesting the transport of PCBs to Senneterre, where they are being stored for future destruction, found oil in a creek that runs into the Megiscane River.“The oil spill will not contaminate the water supply of either Press or Senneterre, but it is killing a fair number of fish in the river system.” Lefebvre said.This is causing significant problems for the local white and native people who eat those fish as their daily food.They are finding dead fish on the river banks and they are getting worried about the fish they are still able to catch.” Chappaz said: “We have informed Environment Quebec and Environment Canada about the situation and we are complying with everything they are asking us to do.” He said CN first placed absor- bent material in the creek to try to recover the oil.But Environment Quebec said that was not effective enough and ordered the railway to construct something to recuperate the oil permanently.The solution is to build the reservoir, dam the creek, then allow the oil to collect in one place before removing it, Chappaz said.“Environment Quebec has told us they will monitor our recuperation process on a regular basis, so we are obligated to continue this operation until all the oil is removed," Chappaz said.¦ mÈL.'

million QUEBEC (CP) — The Quebec Court of Appeal has awarded a mentally handicapped woman more than $3 million in damages and interest after finding that a doctor and hospital were negligent in treating injuries she received when she was five years old.Dr.Maurice Chevrette and Le Gardeur Hospital, located just northeast of Montreal, were ordered to pay the damages to Nancy Lapointe and her family in a decision handed down Monday.Lapointe, now 20, was brought to the hospital in 1975 after injuring herself playing in the basement of the family home, and was examined by Chevrette in the hospital’s emergency ward.Lapointe was found to have sustained severe muscle and nerve damage and a partially severed artery in her arm.Chevrette decided the girl would have to be transferred to Ste-Justine Hospital in Montreal.About 45 minutes after arriving there, Lapointe suffered a heart attack, leading to brain damage.The girl was described by one of the appeal court judges as “a wreck.” The court, in a 4-1 split decision, found Chevrette negligent for transferring the girl while she war still in a state of shock and for not administering a blood transfusion.The court also found that Chevrette did not convey to doctors at Ste-Justine the urgency of the case and did not provide documents to the second hospital describing the time and nature of the accident and the procedures undertaken at Le Gardeur Hospital.Le Gardeur, the court said, had failed to provide competent care.The appeal court overturned a 1980 ruling by a Quebec Superior Court judge in Joliette, who found in favor of Chevrette and the hospital in the suit.PCBs could be destroyed cheaply — expert By Daniel Sanger MONTREAL (CP) - The federal government is about to spend millions of dollars on specialized PCB incinerators although the toxic waste can be destroyed safely and cheaply in cement kilns, experts and industry spokesmen say.“We pay millions to send them on a cruise when we could just send them down the street,” said Francois Lacroix of the Canadian Portland Cement Association, referring to two shiploads of PCBs which were sent from Montreal to be destroyed in Wales in August.The PCBs were eventually shipped back for storage in Baie-Comeau after public outcry in Great Britain.“Studies have shown time and again PCBs can be destroyed just as efficiently and for a fraction of the cost in our industry's kilns,” Lacroix said Thursday.“I’ve been banging my head against the wall for years to get this understood.” Tests begin next month in Alberta on a mobile incinerator that the federal government hopes will solve the disposal problem of the 30,000 tonnes of PCBs stockpiled around Canada.FUELS KILNS The PCBs would serve as fuel in cement plants’ high-temperature rotary kilns, saving the industry significant amounts of money which it would otherwise have to spend on traditional fuel such as oil Lacroix said the cost to government and various institutions now storing Canada’s PCBs would be about two per cent of the cost of destroying them in specialized incinerators.The proposal has the backing of individual specialists at Environment Canada and some environmentalists, although they urge more tests be done to make sure the PCBs are destroyed completely.Incomplete combustion of PCBs creates much more dangerous cancer-causing toxins known as dioxins and furans.“It’s not formally endorsed but amongst ourselves we feel the cement kilns are the best way to go,” said Luke Trip of the waste management branch of Environment Canada.BEGINS TESTS Within the next few weeks the St.Lawrence Cement company is to begin tests, under the supervision of Environment Quebec, burning oil contaminated with low concentrations of PCBs in the rotary kilns of one of its plant, a company representative told the Canadian Waste Management Conference in Montreal this week.“It’s premature to give the plan a complete endorsement but we support the tests technically and in principle,” said Bruce Walker of the Montreal environmentalist group STOP, calling such PCB-incineration “a valid option.” “We’re just concerned that there be monitoring.We want to ensure that these cement plants don’t just turn into dumping grounds.” Baie Comeau episode over Hydro wants out-of-court BAIE-COMEAU (CP) — A Quebec Superior Court judge has acquitted 12 of 13 people charged with contempt of court for unloading a shipment of PCBs last month in contravention of a temporary injunction.Mr.Justice Jacques Dufour ruled Thursday that charges were laid in error against the captain of the Soviet freighter carrying the PCBs, longshoremen and officials of Hydro-Quebec, the provincial agency which owns the installation near this town where the PCBs were stored.But Dufour ruled the contempt charge stands against Martin Clermont, the president of Dyna-mis Envirotech, the company contracted by the Quebec government to dispose of the PCBs.The judge delayed hearing the charge against Clermont until Oct.30 to give time for the coalition of local citizens groups who brought the contempt-of-court action to find a new lawyer.Coalition lawyer Shirley Kennedy told Dufour that she had been taken off the case.Coalition spokesman Christianne Côté said in an interview that Kennedy had been removed “because of disagreement and new developments” but refused to elaborate.Oct.30 is also the date for a Superior Court hearing on an application by the coalition for a permanent injunction against the settlement storage of PCBs at Hydro-Quebec’s Manic 2 installation near this town, 350 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.SEEK AGREEMENT But Côté said the coalition, the Quebec government and Hydro-Quebec may be able to negotiate an out-of-court settlement aimed at the eventual removal of the PCBs.“Whether it’s an agreement in or out of court, what we want is to get the PCBs out of our region,” Cote said.A 10-day temporary injunction preventing unloading or storage of the PCBs in Baie-Comeau was issued as the freighter was unloading its cargo.f -The RECORD—Friday, September 29, 1989 The Townships Bccorti ‘We wanted to show their neighbors they are the exterminators’ Posties to discuss new pressure tactics to stop harassment, speed up negotiations By Rossana Coriandoli SHERBROOKE — Sherbrooke posties plan to step up pressure tactics to protest “harassment” by management of Canada Post workers and push contract negotiations along.Canadian Union of Postal Workers local president Pierre Avard said local members will discuss the pressure tactics this weekend.“The pressure tactics will intensify as has been done throughout the country,” Avard said in an interview Thursday.He said the methods have also been used throughout the province this week, including in Sept-Isles, Rouyn-Noranda and Chicoutimi.“This weekend we’U look at ways to accelerate negotiations and to push the discussion of what happened last July,” he added, referring to talks that were supposed to take place between Canada Post and union officials regarding the firing of ten workers this summer.ALREADY BEGUN Local members have already begun to use pressure tactics, Avard sad.Over the weekend they demonstrated in front of the homes of two Canada Post supervisors.“We wanted to show their neighbors they are the extermina- Behind the news tors of Canada Post,” Avard explained.The ten workers were fired last July after holding an illegal walkout in support of one of their colleagues who faced suspension after leaving his post to change stations on a radio.Canada Post’s labor relations officer Eliot Clarke had told the union he would meet with officials to discuss the problem, but no meeting has yet taken place, Avard said.The union claims management is using systematic harassment against workers across the country as an indirect form of firing.Working conditions and morale are deteriorating, according to Avard, who said five Quebec workers have committed suicide because conditions have become "unlivable” at Canada Post.He added that three workers have lost their jobs in the past two months, as well as one of two at the Lennoxville office.“They will surely close that one to open a franchise,” he said.“They’re trying to privatize through the back door,” Avard said.Already the Crown corporation has purchased new equipment to speed up the sorting process, he added.“Eighteen hundred members will lose their jobs because of that.” In the meantime, the union continues to take care of its own.Last Saturday, local members organized a “hot dog benefit party” to help the ten ex-workers financially.The party, which brought together union representatives from across the country, raised $650 after costs, he added.The union will also continue to hold cross-country collections for the ten who were fired, Avard said.à Pierre Avard.pressure tactics will intesify.q___tkej mam NFB’s Oscar going on special birthday tour By Mario Possamai OTTAWA (CP) — Shabby Persian rugs are in.So is old, cracked Derby china.But — at all costs — avoid ostentatious display if you’re hoping to make a splash in Ottawa, says Stevie Cameron, author of Ottawa Inside Out, a behind-the-scenes look at the nation’s capital which is to be released in mid-October.Capital Notebook By Gordon Grant It’s packed with helpful hints.For example: Be careful where you sit in the Parliamentary dining room.‘ ‘If you’re under the curved ceiling in the middle of the room everything you say can be heard by everybody else,” says Cameron, a reporter with the Globe and Mail.But at the heart of the book is an unusual heroine — Gov.Gen.Jeanne Sauvé.Cameron recounts Sauvé’s bitter battles against corruption and patronage while she was Speaker of the Commons in the early 1980s.Sauvé faced a well-entrenched group of MPs determined to maintain the Commons as “a free-for-all of nepotism, patronage and corruption.” “They wanted to have any furniture that they wanted, any parties they wanted, any staff they wanted and forget about the bills.” Sauvé — supported by reform-minded MPs — put an end to many of the excesses.But she paid a hefty price for her victory.“The MPs will never forgive her for it,” says Cameron.“It just about destroyed her.It wrecked her health.” Remember that Oscar awarded to the National Film Board earlier this year -— the one that Communications Minister Marcel Masse accepted in Los Angeles to the consternation of the arts community?Well, it's going on tour.The special Oscar — presented to the board on its 50th anniversary — will visit a number of Canadian centres between October 1989 and January 1990.There’s no word on whether Masse will tag along.The tone of most government handouts tends towards the dull and dour.But on occasion, a few brave souls try to inject color into the latest missives — with mixed results.Consider a recent release from the Department of Supply and Services.“Oh! Oh! Better Get Diemaco” blares one headline over an announcement on a contract awarded to Diemaco of Kitchener, Ont.“Samsonite wins its case” gushes another, referring to a contract won by the venerable luggage-maker from Stratford, Ont.Sometimes dull is better.The folks at the Finance Department hold their beleaguered bos-s,Michael Wilson, in awe.Most bureaucrats are impressed if their minister stays abreast of the steady flow of briefing papers.But Wilson goes one step better.He not only keeps up with his paperwork — no mean feat — he also has time to read best sellers.This left one top Finance official muttering and shaking his head.Call it the greening of the House of Commons.A recent Commons news release trumpets the fact that the House is “the first office complex in Canada to implement a full-scale blue basket’ recycling system.” What makes the system work so well?The document provides a clue.It says the blue baskets are emptied once a week by a special operative — “a dedicated paper collector.” #1___tel nFgcom Randy Kinnear, Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor .569-6345 Lloyd G.Schelb, Advertising Manager.569-9525 Richard Lessard, Production Manager.569-9931

Circulation ‘The big problem is with the physical counting’ Toronto ‘Smurfs’ helped drug ring launder money By Mario Possamai OTTAWA (CP) — The smaU currency exchange in Toronto, the kind favored by tourists, had a unusual client — a giant drug ring.Couriers, known as smurfs, would take drug profits to the exchange, turn the cash into bank drafts and then ship the easy-to-convert financial instruments to foreign tax havens.By the time the RCMP cracked the money-laundering case — the biggest ever in Canadian history — in 1986, as much as $100 million may have been cleansed by the drug ring.Much of it was processed through currency exchanges like the one in Toronto.Welcome to the burgeoning world of money laundering.This chameleon-like business conceals the drug trade’s lifeblood — cold, hard cash — from the prying eyes of the police and the taxman.How big is it?“As large as the drug trade is, that’s how large the money laundering business is,” says Jack Blum, the plain-spoken special counsel to a U.S.Senate subcommittee on narcotics.Worldwide, the drug trade is worth as much as $300 billion a year.In Canada alone, it racks up an estimated $10 billion a year.How does money laundering work?It breaks the link between the profits of crime and the criminal act, says Rod Stamler, a former assistant commissioner of the RCMP and a leading world expert on money laundering.The first step: Process the huge amounts of cash that the drug trade churns out.ALL IN CASH Every drug deal — large and small — is paid for in cash.But while cash is hard to trace—a definite plus for traffickers — it’s also difficult to handle.One million dollars in $20 bills weighs in at a hefty 50 kgs.“The big problem is with the physical counting of money and then converting,” says Stamler.“That’s labor intensive.” The trick is to inject the illicit cash into the regular financial system of banks and trust companies without leaving a paper trail — records of transactions.In some cases, money is taken to currency exchanges — like the one in Toronto — that keep no records.“Someone can bring $500,000 in cash (into some currency exchanges) and get it converted into large denomination bills and there’s no record of who this person is, the source of the money or where the money is going,” says Insp.Bruce Bowie of the RCMP’s drug enforcement directorate.Or drug profits can be hidden among the regular revenues of businesses — like restaurants — that handle a lot of cash.The simplest and safest method?Couriers can fly suitcases stuffed with cash to tax havens in the Caribbean.Some banks in the region accept large quantities of cash — without asking questions.The money can then be sent electronically anywhere in the world.Moreover, bank secrecy laws in these havens protect the anonymity of the funds’ owners.Couriers are also used at home.Innocuous-looking smurfs — elderly women have been used on occasion — have deposited drug money into Canadian and American banks, officials say.A popular technique: Make large numbers of small transactions to avoid detection.Hiding the origins of criminal profits is just part of the moneylaundering cycle, however.“The next stage involves the return of the funds to make it appear that they were legitimately acquired,” says Stamler.For example, money in a Swiss bank may go to the criminal’s Lie-chenstein corporation.It transfers the money to his Bahamian corporation which, in turn, makes the money available to a Canadian lawyer.She then turns the funds over to the criminal in Canada.“It’s virtually impossible to penetrate a carefully designed money laundering scheme,” says one official who asked not to be identified.Chrétien, Martin court the nation’s Liberal delegates OTTAWA (CP)—Somewhere out there, Liberals are being wooed.The would-be leaders of the Liberal party, without admitting they are in a race, are zooming back and forth across the country, making friends and — they hope — influencing people.Preparing the ground for their eventual bids, the two leading contenders — Jean Chrétien and MP Paul Martin — are visiting potential delegates to the leadership convention in Calgary next June.They’re showing up at fundraisers and small meetings in people’s houses, at Legion Halls and motel meeting rooms.An appearance by a big-name Liberal like Chrétien or Martin, or MPs Sheila Copps, Lloyd Ax worthy or Brian Tobin, can turn a humdrum rubber-chicken dinner into a fundraising bonanza for a local riding association.The reasoning from a candidate’s point of view is that when it comes to voting day at the convention, healthy coffers will produce warm feelings for the candidate who helped fill them.CP News Analysis By Dan Leger Those treks to the country’s outer reaches are time consuming and expensive, but the candidates-to-be are making them and aren’t being quiet about it any more.Every week now, someone ships out to news organizations a schedule of appearances by Martin, the first-term Montreal MP who is trying to gain a national profile and present a credible alternative to Chrétien as the successor to John Turner.AT PLUSH CLUB This week, for example, he was at a plush golf club at Guelph, Ont., to speak to Liberals.Wednesday he was in Ottawa in the morning and in Oakville, Ont., in the evening.Thursday he was in Charlottetown meeting members of the provincial caucus and attending a reception with P.E.I.Liberals.Earlier in the month, Martin was in Vancouver, London, Ont., Windsor and Joliette, Que., where he spoke about “his views on Quebec’s relationship with the Canada of tomorrow.” Chrétien, the front-runner on almost any bookmaker’s sheet, has been told by his advisers to take it easy, at least until January when the final stages of the campaign get under way.But one of his closest allies, Ron Irwin, a former Sault Ste.Marie, Ont., MP,says Chrétien is piling up a lot of kilometres making appearances.Irwin said Chrétien is visiting three cities a week and sometimes has as many as four events in each city.And he plans to keep up that pace until at least December.Axworthy, who is first ensuring he has enough money to run, is also getting into the public-appearances act.His office issued a release this week which announced that the former cabinet minister was giving a speech at McGill University in Montreal “on the Weather Doonesbury subject of Liberalism.” Copps who now appears highly likely to enter the race, has been to British Columbia recently and has been making appearances at fundraisers.The Hamilton MP has also released a detailed analysis of the campaign financing rules, in an attempt to tighten them, reduce the overall spending level and thereby undercut the fundraising leads held by Martin and Chrétien.The various camps are also doing their best to tie up votes from hundreds of Liberal youth and college clubs.The college clubs, with the right to send four delegates each to the convention, were being formed so fast that the party executive called a halt to the formation of new clubs earlier this month.Although aU the potential campaigns have made some progress in establishing themselves in the youth and college clubs, party insiders say that the Chrétien and Martin organizations are far ahead of the others.BY GARRY TRUDEAU 0, w .mV! .and now its my plba- 5UR£ V INTRODUCE m HRSI

sponsors conference on deadly downfall By John Tollefsrud SHERBROOKE — Acid rain’s deadly toll on the forests and lakes of the Eastern Townships has prompted the city of Sherbrooke to join the fight against the airborne pollution in a very public way.Fresh from a weekend conference with 41 environmentalists in Denver, Colo., Sherbrooke Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier announced LUIES CIDES £ # V: .¦ ¦¦ Environmentalist André Bélisle warns that acid rain is a problem which must be addressed without further delay because it threatens all regions of North America.Thursday that the city will be twinned with the city of Albany, N.Y.and possibly Rochester, N.Y.as part of the Rainbow project of Quebec’s anti-acid-rain association.Pelletier cited the urgency of the situation as the reason for the municipality’s public stand on acid rain.“We have to act now,” he said, “we’re not going to have any trees left in 10 years if we don’t.” Acid rain is the poisonous rainfall largely caused by sulphur-dioxide emissions from heavy industries and car exhaust.Carried in clouds and thus able to travel thousands of kilometres, acid rain falls on leaves and progresses downward to wreak damage on the rest of the Earth’s ecosystem.TOWNSHIPS TWINNED The twinning project also involves linking the Eastern Townships with the state of New York.The coupling program is the result of a concerted effort by the Association Québécois pour le Lutte contre les Pluies Acides (AQLPA).Association president André Bélisle echoed Pelletier’s call for action on acid rain, explaining the western areas of North America will, in a few short years, experience the same devastation currently wrought on the eastern parts.“What we’re living now the people of the West will live in five years,” Bélisle said.Further aiding the struggle to reduce deadly sulphur dioxide emissions is a second event involving Sherbrooke.In the late spring, when the brutal effects of acid rain are fully visible, Sherbrooke will host an acid-rain conference to include field trips to give environmentalists and others a close-up look at the extent of the problem.GRAVE SITUATION And according to Bélisle, the problem is extremely grave.The hard working environmentalist quoted Environment Canada acidity figures from last Aug.15 that were found in the Sutton area.The results were taken during a period of heavy rainfall.“There was a 3.4 ph level recorded in the soil in the region, which is 56 times more acidic than normal,” Bélisle said.Later he elaborated on the figures, saying sulphate deposits in the Sutton soil measured between 42 and 44 kilograms per hectare per year — fully four times the recognizable standard of 12 kilograms considered the maximum soil can absorb and continue to regenerate Bélisle and Pelletier discussed the Denver environmentalists meeting with journalists, describing the encounter as a shot in the arm for those fighting the acid-rain battle.Organizations involved included the National Audubon Society and the Sierra Club.Pelletier was the only non-environmentalist there.URGENCY Bélisle said raising acid-rain awareness—among the public and scientists alike — was the major goal of the meet held last weekend.While he said headway was made, he added the process must be hastened.“What I got from this conference is that, unfortunately, the acid-rain problem is strong in the West, but it’s only perceived as a new problem,” Bélisle said.“We were there to try to make the point that acid rain is a problem already.” Also at Thursday’s press conference was Denis Diamond, the AQLPA representative for the Eastern Townships.Diamond said the region’s industries must reduce their toxic emissions but he emphasized the key is affecting change in the American Midwest — the industrial and coal-burning heartland where “60 per cent of Quebec’s pollution comes from.” Diamond acknowledged Quebec must play its part too.“We’re making efforts but there’s a long way to go,” he said.LACK OF AWARENESS On the same subject, Pelletier said Townships industries must do more to end acid-rain pollution.“1 think the industrialists who are causing these problems are not as aware as they should be and that will be our job: to make them aware." While he just finished announcing an official protocol signing scheduled for January, Pelletier said more than documents are needed to cut acid-rain emissions.“If we do have an agreement, beautiful, but let’s move on to something definite,” Pelletier said, “let’s cap the chimneys (smoke stacks) and stop using certain fossil fuels.” Jean-Paul Pelletier.‘Problem is real.’ Pleased with the AQLPA agreements, the mayor nonetheless cautioned against inaction.“I don’t want to sound like an alarmist, but this problem is real and it exists.” Asked to confirm that the conference will be held late enough in the spring to show acid-rain da mage to buds and leaves, Pelletier gave an ominous reply.“Hopefully we will have buds in the spring.” ‘I just help people's immune systems to get better' Naessens says he never claimed to cure cancer By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — “I never said that I have cured cancer,” Gaston Naessens told hundreds of local radio listeners yesteday.However many people credit the Rock Forest man with curing their cancers and even AIDS.Many others — including the Quebec Corporation of Physicians and Surgeons — think he’s a quack Who is Gaston Naessens?That’s the question CHLT radio was trying to answer yesterday as the Sherbrooke station invited the controversial reseacher to appear on its open line show, Contact 63.The self-trained biologist, whose recent treatment of cancer and AIDS victims with his homemade serum 714x has caused the medical establishment to pursue him as a quack, was guest on the open-line show.Naessens, who has been avoiding media attention while he awaits trial on criminal and civil charges, agreed to take part in the call-in show to set the record straight.NEVER CURED CANCER “I never said that I have cured cancer,” the self-trained biologist told listeners.“I just help people’s immune systems to get better.” Naessen’s theory is based on the fact that there is more that just red and white blood cells.Through the use of a powerful microscope of his own invention, Naessans says he discovered tiny particules he calls “sematics”.“I am just a researcher who has been working for 40 years,” he said.“I only want to work quietly at home.” But since the spring of 1984, when his story resurfaced on Pierre Nadeau’s Radio Canada television show Déjà 20 ans, Naessens has been a hot news item.“Mr.Nadeau lit the powder keg,” Naessens said, adding that two months after the show was aired he became the victim of raids on his Rock Forest home and laboratory followed by criminal and civil charges.But criminal proceedings are not new to the 65-year-old Naessens, who has been in the news for the past25 years.He was also tried and convicted of practicing medicine and pharmacology without a license in his native France.Now in Quebec, he is once again under fire for his unconvetional and unrecognized methods.CRIMINAL CHARGES Naessens faces charges of criminal negligence leading to the death of one patient, two cases of fraud, and numerous cases of illegally practicing medecine.Callers to the show expressed their support for the accused charlatan, many expressing their hopes that the government will test the serum and once and for all set the record straight.“Right now we don’t know if the treatment is effective,” said one caller.Naessans said he has written to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney to ask for tests of his experimental serum.“The lives of millions are at stake,” he said.Naessens has proposed that a control group of 20 AIDS patients be treated with his 714x solution — which he said is a derivative of camphor — and the results be monitored.However, he said that while Mulroney has acknowledge having received his letter, Naessens hasn’t heard from the prime minister since.r Pursued by the courts and the media, researcher and accused charlatan Gaston Naessens says he only wants to work quietly at home.‘They don’t like the war and they want peace’ Local Canadian soldiers talk about peacekeeping experience in Cyprus By John Tollefsrud SHERBROOKE — “It’s said there’s enough barbed wire on the island to go around it three or four times.” It’s not Lebanon, but it’s one of the world’s most strife-tom areas.And Canadian soldiers, like recen tly returned members of the Sherbrooke Hussars, are there in force as part of the United Nations peacekeeping force which holds Greek and Turkish factions in check.The above quote is from Warrant Frank Dubois, a two-trip veteran of Cyprus peacekeeping.Dubois describes the situation on the small island at the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea as a political stalemate, not a state of siege.“The lines are static, nothing has happened since ’74,” Dubois said Thursday, explaining there was a war there 15 years ago.DE MILITARIZED ZONE He said there is a buffer between the two sides of the North-South conflict, known as the Green Zone, which varies between two feet and two kilometres in width.There is not only barbed wire, there are also mines and high bar- rel walls to contend with.And yet there is peace — a tense peace.Into such a high-strung, nerve-wracking situation are thrust young soldiers from diverse UN nations.Eight of them who proudly wear the blue beret of the UN peacekeeping force on behalf of Canada returned home to the Sherbrooke area earlier this month following tours of duty averaging six or seven months.Two of the Sherbrooke Hussars described serving on Cyprus as a tremendous learning experience.M-Cpl.Stéphane Carroll said both military personnel and civilians on the island show an effort to cooperate.In the British sector of Cyprus’ capital, Nicosia, Greek and Turkish students would meet regularly to exchange ideas, he said.“They don’t like the war and they want peace,” the 21-year-old Car-roll said.BAD BLOOD At the same time, however, Cyprus has a history of bad blood and conflict to contend with.Carroll said the most difficult situation he ever had to deal with on his obser- vation post in the rural section of Cyprus was a three-day demonstration last March of Greek women demanding reunification with relatives in the northern half of the divided island.Trooper Mark Harrison, 20, of Sherbrooke, was part of the urban squadron in Nicosia itself.Like Carroll he had to deal with angry demonstrators, but the most dangerous situation he heard of involved other Canadian soldiers.“There was an area where the ceasefire line was the width of a vehicle, not more than 10 feet, and some people had weapons pointed at them, and even cocked ones,” Harrison said As peacekeepers, Canadian sol- diers on Cyprus carry an unloaded rifle but have ammunition on their person.They are ordered only to use firepower if their own or another’s life is threatened.There are between 550 and 600 Canadian troops on Cyprus and there has been a Canadian presence there since 1963.The mood was jovial at the gathering of Hussars peacekeepers on Thursday.This coming Sunday, Oct.1, the Sherbrooke Hussars will hold an open house at their headquarters (315 William St.in Sherbrooke) between 10 and 4 for the general public and those considering a career in the military reserves, or even duty in Cyprus.Earning

September 29, 1989 The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Expect one hell of Bourassa’s Liberals barely affected by green vote a fight over Via It’s nice to see democracy at work once again as our very own prime minister refuses to discuss something as important as our railway system with national media.Brian Mulroney — a man who can always be trusted to avoid discussing anything remotely controvertial — is avoiding the whole issue of Via Rail’s future.He preferred instead to talk about the Blue Jays’ chances of hanging on against the Baltimore Orioles for the eastern division championship and advancing to a pennant showdown against the western division.Very nice, Mr.Mulroney.It’s nice to see you at least know what are the issues that matter to the country you happen to run so smoothly.Certainly, the Blue Jays are up there — a priority way above anything as insignificant as our raUway.Mulroney refused to comment Thursday after a three-hour cabinet meeting about weighty matters like proposed Via Rail cuts and soon-to-be-released abortion legislation.He would say nothing whatsoever to give the media any idea of what the legislation might mean to the rest of the country.Certainly, whatever decision is made by the government regarding Via’s future will mean a significant difference in Canadians’ standard of living.Those people living in the country’s outlying regions — anywhere that isn’t Toronto, Montreal or Vancouver — will see their lives change drastically if Via services are cut, as the Tory government has been wanting to do for a long while.Mr.Mulroney and the rest of his clan should get their act together and remember that they represent the rest of the country — not just themselves — in the House of Commons.And should also remember that the media are our eyes and ears on the Hill and must not be turned away without a word, the way they so often are.Via — among other things — is not only an important part of Canada’s history but its future.We must know what the government intends to do with it.And if its plans take into consideration only the needs of the few, watch out.Canadians will not take the dismantling of Via sitting down.Mr.Mulroney, you better expect one hell of a fight.ROSSANA CORIANDOLI Equality provisions advantage more men By Portia Priegert OTTAWA (CP) — Women and minorities are getting short shrift from legal rulings on the equality provision in the Charter of Rights, says a study released Thursday.Most cases have dealt with issues unrelated to discrimination based on sex, race, disability and age, says the study by the Canadian Advisory Council on the Status of Women.“The study shows disturbing, even dangerous trends,” said Shelagh Day, a Vancouver human rights advocate who co-wrote the study with lawyer Gwen Brodsky.Section 15 of the charter guarantees equal protection under the law regardless of race, ethnic origin, color, religion, sex, age and mental or physical disability.Sex discrimination cases accounted for less than 10 per cent of the 591 rulings handed down in the three years after the section took effect in 1985, says the council, a government advisory body.Not counting appeals, only 44 cases related to sexual equality.Of those, only nine were launched by women or on behalf of women.The rest were initiated by men.“Men are using the charter to attack or threaten By Daniel Sanger MONTREAL (CP) — It was supposed to be Quebec’s green election, the time when the province’s concerns for an ailing environment made it an issue right up there with language, independence and jobs.But when the votes were counted, few of Premier Robert Bourassa’s Liberals had been touched — let alone toppled — by the green vote.Although the nascent Green party, with candidates in 46 of the province’s 125 ridings, got two per cent of the ballots Monday night, the green vote didn't claim any victims.“It’s disappointing,” Harvey Mead, spokesman for the Quebec Coalition for the Conservation of Nature, said Tuesday.“To say the least.Ab^ut halfway through the campaign the environment just disappeared from the agenda and that was that.” The issue had been dumped into the Liberal party’s — and province’s — lap with a PCB fire in St-Basile-le- Grand in August, 1988, and lingered until the election was called a year later.It snowballed early in the campaign with controversy over the storage of the fire’s leftover waste in Baie-Comeau and the discovery of dangerous levels of lead in St-Jean, an industrial town near Montreal.But it melted with a wave of public-sector strikes that gripped the province in the campaign’s dying days.GRABBED FOCUS “The news eclipsed the environment,” said environmental consultant David Cliche, as he packed up his campaign headquarters in Laval where he ran — and lost — for the Parti Québécois.“The PQ won the environmental battle with the Liberals but in the end it didn’t matter much.” In fact, the PQ would probably have done better had the environment not been an issue at all.Jean-Maurice Michaud protested when the PCBs were brought to Baie-Comeau to be stored before disposal.He voted green on Monday.“My vote helped take the victory away from the PQ and that’s a bit sad I suppose,” he said in an interview from the town 350 kilometres northeast of Quebec City.“But they got us into this mess in the first place so I’m not crying.” The same scenario — green votes taking enough support away from the PQ that the Liberals were allowed to squeeze up the middle and back into power — also occurred in the riding that includes St-Basile.While Mead thinks the Liberals should have felt more grief from voters angry over the environment, he too isn’t sorry for the PQ.FAILED TEST His group made up elaborate environmental report cards for the two major parties and both failed miserably, the Liberals getting a meagre 27 per cent, the PQ, 35 per cent.“There was no commitment from either of them,” he said.Jean Ouimet, the leader of the Green party who campaigned across the province by bicycle, also feels no regrets that his party stymied a PQ victory in some ridings.“We are closer to the PQ than to the Liberals in social issues but on the economic level they ’re the same to us.We have no illusions.” The Greens, who Ouimet says will run a full slate of candidates in the next provincial election and hope to win a dozen seats, also hurt Quebec’s hapless provincial NDP.The NDP went from 2.5 per cent of the popular vote to one per cent, a drop critical enough that Gaétan Nadeau, who resigned as leader immediately after the election, said he doubts the party will be around to fight the next election.“We missed a turn somewhere along the way,” he said from party headquarters Tuesday.wriflTS TBg Q Emergency,' RATS?cockroaches?TORIES)) [jf ’Mmm those laws and programs which were designed to alleviate women’s inequality — such as laws protecting young girls from rape, maternity benefits and social assistance for single mothers,” Day told a news conference.The report cites some memorable cases that extended women’s rights.One is the Supreme Court of Canada’s 1988 decision to strike down the country’s abortion law.HOCKEY WIN Another was an Ontario Court of Appeal ruling that allowed Toronto teenager Justine Blainey to play hockey on a boy’s team.But women overaU did not fare well, with about half the decisions going against them, the report says.Men won 13 of the 35 cases they launched.For instance, Toronto lawyer Shalom Schachter successfully challenged the Unemployment Insurance Act when he was denied benefits after the birth of his son in 1985.Other disadvantaged groups — natives, the disabled and racial minorities — initiated only 17 cases, Day said.Many of the other cases under Section 15 involved issues like drunk driving, economic regulation and collective bargaining.Women’s groups lobbied hard in the early 1980s for a strong charter definition of their equality rights.But women have not used the guarantee to address problems because they often don’t have the money to go to court, the report says.To that end, the federal government set up a $9-million fund in 1985 to help pay for court challenges based on equality rights.But the five-year program runs out in March 1990 and the council fears it will be abandoned as the government tries to cut federal spending.“The barriers to women’s access to the courts must be removed,” says the 321-page study."And interpretations of equality which are meaningful to women must be advanced more often in the courts.” The council is not alone in urging the government to continue the court challenges program.A Commons committee reviewing the program has heard several witnesses who want the program to continue.Among them is Canada's official languages commissioner, DTberville Fortier.Recent study begins to address VDT concerns By Sarah Binder MONTREAL (CP) — They can cause vision problems, debilitating muscular diseases and severe psychological strain, but video display terminals — VDTs — have become a fact of working life.It is estimated that there will be 90 million workplace VDTs in Canada and the United States by next year.One of two workers will shortly be plugged into computer technology.“The tool itself has revolutionized industry and the way organizations work in a very, very positive way .even though along with those benefits have come some problems that need to be addressed,” says Bob Bettendorf, a Connecticut management consultant and a former IBM executive.These problems are gradually forcing a rethinking of the design of offices and of office work itself, said several experts interviewed at a recent international conference in Montreal on VDT use.Employers are either making the adjustment voluntarily, as IBM did in the early 1980s, or are being pushed into it by unions.To help companies design healthy work environments, the Canadian Standards Association — the private group which sets many of the country’s safety standards — will soon release Canada's first comprehensive guidelines for the office environment and work-station design.The product of four years’ research, the standard will set voluntary guidelines for such things as office furniture, lighting, acoustics and air quality and temperature, Jim Dixon, the CSA's occupational health and safety project manager, said in an interview from Toronto.It will also include a section on the organization of work because, Dixon explained, “You must also take into account the design of the job, the job tasks, in relation to the person, to the worker’s goals and to management’s goals.” The CSA guidelines will not cover the alleged dangers of VDTs to the female reproductive system, an ongoing scientific controversy.“The body of evidence suggests this is not a problem at all,” Dixon said.But the omission is expected to draw protest.Many unions believe manufacturers should be required to provide shields for the machines and that pregnant employees should be able to choose not to work on them.There is no controversy about the strain VDTs place on eyesight, and an increasing number of offices are taking steps to alleviate the causes.As well, growing evidence is linking VDTs and the rise in so-called “musculoskeletal” injuries.These range from aching backs and necks to nerve and tendon disorders, known collectively as repetitive strain injury — referred to by doctors as RSI.“Our impression is that visual problems have been dealt with to a de- gree that musculoskeletal problems have not,” said Dave Eisen, a health expert with The Newspaper Guild, which represents editorial and other workers at many U.S.and Canadian newspapers.“Contracts have provided for glasses for working on a VDT screen,” Eisen said.“There have also been improvements in the VDT screen itself—its design, the contrast of characters.It’s generally understood that lower lighting levels are desirable and, increasingly, we have recognition of the importance of getting rid of screen glare.” Union experts say chairs and desks that can’t be adjusted to an individual VDT user’s height and working style are partly responsible for the rise in RSI.The U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics reported recently that the number of reported cases in the U.S.almost doubled, to 73,000, from 1985 to 1987, making it the fastest-growing occupational injury.RSI results when “hands, wrists, arms and shoulders repeat the same motion again and again, at high speeds, with little rest, often in awkward positions,” a Newspaper Guild information sheet says, adding : “Without the interruptions typewriters used to demand for corrections, changing paper and other auxiliary chores, and with the added speed made possible by lighter finger force (on the keyboard), the road is clear for nerve and tendon disaster.” RSI DIAGNOSED Bob DeMatteo, research and education officer with the Ontario Public Service Employees Union, said a recent union survey of 300 data-entry operators working for the Ontario Health Insurance Program found that 25 per cent of respondents had been diagnosed by a doctor as having some form of RSI.The introduction of VDTs has led to increased stress levels in many offices - not just for clerical positions but also for managers and professionals, a number of studies show.Laura Stock, a consultant with VDT Coalition, a labor lobby and education group in California, said a computer’s ability to, in effect, monitor an employee’s keystrokes and rest breaks adds stress because “it’s a particular kind of supervision that’s very intrusive and very demeaning.” There is an indication that companies are beginning to recognize that.Bell Canada, for example, has temporarily stopped monitoring telephone operators in some areas after a joint union-management study fingered surveillance as a major stressor.The study, agreed to in contract talks, recommended asssessing group production rather than individual performance.“The important thing for this study is to get people to see how we are allowing jobs to evolve with new technology without planning the design of the jobs," said Don DiTecco, a management consultant at Bell.t The RECORD—Friday.September 29.1999—5 History Slaughtered deer: Hunting in the Townships a hundred years ago On Sept.8, 1905, the Sherbrooke Daily Record carried a front page story datelined Lake Megantic that began a series headlined ‘The Slaughter of the Deer:’ “Friday, the first of September, the day the season opened, a man drove into Megantic with a load of some 15 deer.He came a distance of 16 miles and they must have been killed before the season opened.“Deer have been killed throughout the summer in the Megantic woods.Jacking has been carried out along the lakes.About a month ago, a man out jacking for deer turned his light on what he thought was a fine specimen.He fired several shots and was later surprised to find that he had brought down a neighbor’s horse.” A petition was hurriedly got up and circulated in Sherbrooke and throughout the Townships.It was addressed to the Provincial Minister of Lands and Fisheries responsible for hunting regulations and said: “Sir: We the undersigned feel that immediate steps should be taken to stop the terrible slaughter of deer for market on the south shore of the St.Lawrence, as at present rate they will soon be exterminated.Many persons are making a business of killing deer for market, and large numbers, principally does and fawns, are being shipped to Montreal markets daily.“We would respectfully suggest, if it meets your approval, that the sale of deer on the south shore of the St.Lawrence be at once prohibited for at least one year; also, that the present open season of four months, which is too long, be shortened by making it from October 1st to January 1st, instead of from Sept.1st as at present.” SPORTSMEN This was not the first season Townshippers had been outraged over market hunting — not for the sake of deer, it should be said, but for the sake of sportsmen drawn to the Megantic ‘Hunter’s Paradise’ from Europe as well as North America.The slaughter, in fact, had been going on for a great many years.Between Jan.15 and April 16, 1870, one hunter and his Indian guide killed 265 moose in the region and took only their hides.Another killed five in one night on Rush Lake, three of them females.Fifty deer and six moose were taken every year on the average along the Spider River and in the winter of 1884-85, a party on Arnold Pond shipped 2800 pounds of vension to the Boston market — hindquarters only.Game laws had been tightened considerably since those free-booting days but the season for both moose and deer in 1905 still lasted four months and that for the few remaining Townships caribou five.Bear season was ten months long.Nets, snares and traps could be set for swallows, kingbirds, warblers, flycatchers, woodpeckers, whippoowills, finches, robins, bobolinks, and even hummingbirds and these birds could be shot at any time except March 1 to Sept.1.Eggs and nests of all birds were protected except those of eagles, hawks, falcons, jays, owls and sparrows.But those laws were only as good as their enforcement.Poaching for personal use was rampant throughout the Townships and jacking was honored by tradition.Dr.Heber Bishop’s guide book for the Megantic Fish and Game Club gave detailed instructions for jacking both deer and moose in 1888.JACKING ‘The method of jacking deer and moose is as follows : A lamp with reflector is placed upon a stick or support in the bow of the canoe, so arranged that all the light is thrown directly forward, and all rays excluded from reaching the boat or its occupants.“The guide takes the stern with the paddle.The deer is generally heard in the water before seen, the sound bringing one’s heart into the mouth, and setting the canoe vibrating from the rapid pulsations; the guide quietly turns the light in the direction of the sound, and glides the canoe steadily along toward the spot from whence the sound proceeds.“The first thing noticeable is what appears like two small balls of fire in the darkness, the reflection of the light upon the deer’s eyes.Slowly and steadily the boat is pushed on, the moments seem like hours to the expectant hunter, till gradually the form of the deer becomes outlined, and the animal looms up nearer and nearer.“If the wind does not give him the scent, he will stand, in many cases, till the light is within ten feet, and not exhibit the slightest alarm.Although not considered a very sportsmanlike way of shooting deer, and one which is prohibited by statute law in certain localities, there is a pleasure attached to it that is very fascinating to one accustomed to the practice.“Later in the season, deer do not stand so quietly at an approaching jack, and then they are hunted with a dark lantern, a string being attached to it in such a manner that the lantern can be quickly and noiselessly opened as soon as the boat is within range.This method is the common one for jacking moose, which, as a rule, are not so hard to get up to as deer, if a dark lantern is used.” FISH & GAME CLUB Dr.Heber Bishop (of the Bishop-ton Bishops) practiced medicine in Lake Megantic during 1882 and 1883 and fell in love with the hunting and fishing in the region.He returned to a more lucrative practice in Boston but came back at every opportunity and spread news of the sport to be found through all his outdoor friends.In 1886, with the help of Sherbrooke merchant Gustavus Lucke, W.A.Morehouse, proprietor of the Sherbrooke Examiner, Henry Aylmer of Richmond and Rufus H.Pope of Cookshire, Dr.Bishop published a prospectus for establis- 'V Bernard Epps hing the Megantic Fish and Game Club.The following March they won a charter from Quebec for exclusive hunting and fishing rights over the entire township of Louise and much of Woburn.A month later, influential Americans helped win similar concessions over ten lakes and rivers in the adjoining State of Maine.Their total territory added up to 120 square miles of the best hunting and fishing in all North America.A three-storey clubhouse was built on Spider Lake where it was reached by steamboat from Agnes (across the Chaudière from the village of Lake Megantic and named for Sir John A.Macdonald’s wife).Wardens and guides were hired to protect and exploit the club’s resources and among them were some of the most colorful characters in all the Townships.GUIDES Joe-Marie Cazihlante, for example, was an Indian with a fondness for drink and three sisters.All of them hunted and trapped in the region and in 1865 Clothilde was trapping beaver along the Chain of Ponds.She’d been to both Megantic and Eustis to obtain provisions and had offered in both places a $20 gold coin in payment — a rare piece in those days.Merchants had been unable to change it and gave her credit for the goods until she brought in her beaver pelts.Some time later, her body was found in Long Pond with two bullet holes in the head and an American paid for his room at the Eustis Hotel with a $20 gold piece.For many years afterwards a cedar post marked Clothilde’s grave.Nearby, Pierre Leroyer had his camp.He had been born and raised in France but was

a finesse, counting can also guide you away from what seems at first glance to be an obvious play, when in fact that play has no chance for success.South played in four spades after a pre-emptive three-heart opening from East.West led the queen of hearts; East took the ace and led back the deuce (suit-preference, asking for a club return).West ruffed and dutifully led the queen of clubs.When declarer won the ace, East dropped the king.Declarer now played A-K of spades and was disappointed to see that East was left with a high trump.What now?In normal circumstances, with club winners ready to be taken by the defense, South would have no choice but to play A-K-Q-J of diamonds to get rid of his club losers as quickly as possible.But in this instance that play is futile.East has already shown with seven hearts, three spades and the king of clubs.East has at most two diamonds.The third diamond will be ruffed for sure, and South will still be left with a loser in clubs.Declarer must simply grit his teeth and play another spade, giving up his losing trump trick.The chances are very good that East does not have another club.Declarer will be able to ruff East's heart return and run the diamonds to make his contract.Saturday, Sept.30, 1989 NORTH 9-30-89 ?Q 10 954 ?J 10 5 3 ?A Q J 7 5 EAST ?K J 8 4 2 9J 9 7 ?8 7 ?10 3 2 SOUTH ?75 9 A Q 2 ?A Q 9 6 4 ?K 8 4 Vulnerable: Neither

dominate a lot of your attention in the year ahead.In order to gain full advantage from both, it's best to treat them separately.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Today you might be a trifle too insistent upon having others do your bidding.Don't press too hard to have your way.Make your presentation, but graciously back off if you're out voted.Get a jump on life by understanding the influences which are governing you in the year ahead.Send for your Astro-Graph predictions today by mailing $1 to Astro-Graph, c/o this newspaper, P.O.Box 91428, Cleveland, OH 44101-3428.Be sure to state your zodiac sign.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Avoid reading derogatory meanings into what others say to you today.If you do, you might end up with wounded feelings over something where no malice was intended.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) It's best to be a bit cynical today about proposals brought to you by people you don't know too well, especially if your instincts tell you they might be talking about pie in the sky.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) If possible, try to avoid competitive situations today.However, If you should get involved in something challenging, don’t make winning so important that you might lower your standards.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Some strong views you hold could be offensive to your audience today.If you notice that what you say antagonizes your listeners, back off and change the subject.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Try not to make material requests of others today, even from people who owe you past favors.Bite the bullet and do the best you can with the resources available.ARIES (March 21-April 19) Be careful today you don't get involved in the middle of a dispute between business associates.If you’re forced to take a side, the other party will consider you a villain.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Owing to your expansive mood, you might be inclined to make an impulsive promise to someone today that you’ll not be able to fulfill.Don’t take the order if you can't deliver the goods.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Have fun and enjoy yourself today, but be mindful of overextending yourself budgetwise or overindulging yourself physically.You could go awry in both departments.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Do not be in too big a hurry today to wrap up an important arrangement, because, in your haste, you might not get as good a deal as you could get if you are patient.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) When socializing with friends today, don't try to monopolize the conversation with subjects in which you alone are interested.Give everyone a chance to participate.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sapt.22) Don’t try to impress your companions today by being too lavish with your resources.If you’re extravagant now, you might experience needs later.Sept.30, 1989 Solid achievements can be made in the year ahead if you are willing to disengage yourself from ventures and alliances that have proven to be unproductive.New friends will help you open up fresh territory.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Avoid siding with or hanging around individuals today who band together as a clique in order to hold sway over others.You don’t want to be labeled as one of these petty politicians.Know where to look for romance and you’ll find it.The Astro-Graph Matchmaker instantly reveals which signs are romantically perfect for you.Mail $2 to Matchmaker, c/o this newspaper, P.O.Box 91428, Cleveland, Acceptable lies By James Jacoby In a sense, bridge has a double standard where larceny and chicanery are involved.It is a violation of the proprieties and ethics of the game to exhibit a false emotion that might misguide your opponent.Deliberate hesitations that might convey information to partner are absolutely taboo, and false hesitations meant to persuade declarer or defender that you hold a particular card are reprehensible.But it is perfectly OK to play a deceptive card or even a falsecard that may persuade your opponent that you have something different from your actual holding.In today’s deal, West led a normal six of hearts against three no-trump.Declarer South could certainly win the queen and get to dummy with a club to try the diamond finesse.But if that lost, it would be easy for West to switch to spades and take enough tricks to set the contract.So, sacrificing an overtrick, South made a deceptive play — he won East’s jack of hearts with his ace, concealing his queen.He played a club to dummy’s jack and led the jack of diamonds, losing to West’s king.Does anyone really blame West for leading another heart to his partner’s presumed queen?Declarer of course now won the queen and made his overtricks after all.This and other interesting strategies are explored in “The Bridge Book — Vol.3 — For Advanced Players," available from Devyn Press, 151 Thierman Lane, Louisville, KY 40207.James Jacoby 's books “Jacoby on Bridge' and "Jacoby on Card Games'(written with his father, the late Oswald Jacoby) are now available at bookstores Both are published by Pharos Books © 1989, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN BRIDGE OH 44101-3428.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Don’t base an important decision today on conclusions you draw from past events.Look for new sources of evidence to understand
