the free trade zone to be discussed at the Summit of the Americas seems a little lofty and puzzling for average North Americans, the conclusion of such a deal could have a powerful impact on their everyday lives.That’s the warning of a group of antipoverty activists who are preparing a regional conference to discuss the potential negative spinoffs the deal could have on human rights and social justice.Sherbrooke’s conference is being organized by Développement et Paix, the Table d’Action Contre l’Appauvrissement de l’Estrie, the Pastorale Sociale group of Sherbrooke’s Catholic diocese.Solidarité Populaire Estrie, Carrefour de Solidarité Internationale, and the social work department of the Collège de Sherbrooke.The interactive conference comes midway during United Nations Decade for the Eradication of Poverty (1997-2006), explained organizer Annie Goyette of Développement et Paix which has been organizing annual activities to underline the UN initiative.SEE ACTIVISTS,

the “unified” City of Montreal next November, he would be the first in nearly 50 years to have been elected to another level of gov- - ernment.Tremblay’s immediate predecessor in that regard is Camillien Houde, who not only served in the Quebec legislature and the House of Commons, but served four years in an Ontario prison for inciting the populace to defy conscription.He was promptly returned to city hall upon his release in 1944 and served another 10 years.Houde, incidentally, was elected for another term to the House of Commons in 1949 while still in the mayor’s office.He isn’t the only Montrealer to have done double political duty.J.C.C.Abbott, following a career as an MP, went on to become mayor of Montreal (1887-89) while concurrently government leader in the Senate and a cabinet minister.He served a brief stint as caretaker prime minister following Sir John A.Macdonald’s death in 1891.Former Liberal MNA and minister Gerard Tremblay is not quite in the same league of flamboyance as Camillien Houde, nor cut from the same conservative cloth as Abbott.Indeed, Tremblay’s first challenge in the long march to the first island-wide elections next November is to carve out a stronger image.He might start by making sure all local newspapers have a fresh head shot of him.While rumours circulated in recent weeks about his candidacy, several newspapers ran a photo of another Gerald Tremblay, who, ironically, was one of the lawyers hired by the city of Westmount to argue against the Montreal merger.Gerald Tremblay, mayoral candidate, is also a lawyer, but it’s more his business credentials and senior political experience that have convinced supporters he is the right guy at the right time to turf the eclectic “gardening engineer” Pierre Bourque from Montreal’s stately city hall.Assuming that Tremblay’s birthplace of Ottawa Ben by Daniel Quebec Affairs Peter Black my.WHAT A PAY/ rP-J mn won’t count against him, the former industry minister in Robert Bourassa’s government, graduate of Harvard business school, fi- nancial analyst and hardcore economic development wonk, has a lot to make Bourque worry.For starters, he already has the backing of many of the suburban mayors who will be stripped of their own city halls as of January 1, 2002.One of these soon-to-be erstwhile mayors is Georges Bossé of Verdun, perhaps the most outspoken francophone opponent of the merger forced on the 27 suburbs on Montreal island.Bourque, it’s safe to say, will be persona non grata in the suburbs where he must win some votes if he expects to regain city hall.His resounding win in the last election in the original city of Montreal was due in no small part to the weak and divided opposition he faced -not unlike the Chrétien winning formula.Tremblay can pretty much count on a sweep of the anglo and alio population of the island, seeing as he stands in opposition to Bourque who is viewed on the western half of the island as a peq- uiste toady who got his Christmas wish of a bigger city.The one strike against Tremblay that has surfaced in the coverage of his declaration for mayor is that he chickened out when he had the chance to succeed Robert Bourassa as Liberal leader and premier in 1994.Tremblay backed off in the face of the seemingly insurmountable support behind Daniel Johnson Jr.Of course, this syndrome is not unknown to the current party in power which is about to crown its new leader without a contest.Tremblay is not in the clear yet for a face-to-face showdown with Bourque.He still has to convince other pretenders to city hall he is the one to beat Bourque.So far, those are Vera Danyluk, a former Town of Mount Royal mayor who heads the Montreal Urban Community, and Michel Prescott, leader of the party that lost city hall to Bourque in 1994.In Quebec City, Tremblay’s candidacy will be viewed warily.While the creation of an island-wide city of Montreal is practically speaking a done deal, the PQ government cannot be too pleased with the prospect of a popular and unreservedly federalist Liberal in charge of its own creation.Briefs E1 s c Submissions sought for environmental awards invironmentalists are invited to

Huot Sherbrooke Sherbrooke police believe they’ve broken up a teen burglary ring involved in a series of breaking and entering incidents following a raid on an apartment at 991 Jogues St.on Monday.They arrested a 37-year-old woman, a 23-year-old man and her 17-year-old son after getting a warrant.The woman will be charged with being in possession of stolen property.Police found stolen stereos, DVD players, computers, microwave ovens and VCRs in the apartment.Meanwhile, the other two suspects were released.Several more teens will be arrested within the next few days, according to police.The case began on Feb.20, according to Const.André Lemire.A citizen tipped off police when he saw two teenagers carrying a long loudspeaker and a huge plastic bag.Once alerted, police arrested the two suspected teenagers and brought them to the station for questionning.That move soon led to the uncovering of a larger network and Monday evening’s raid.The value of the goods seized is estimated to be worth at least $20,000.“We’ve managed to identify most of the equipment thanks to the descriptions provided by the owners,” said Lemire.“It’s a ring.The teenagers robbed various sectors in the east and west ends as well as in Rock Forest.” The stolen goods were then apparently sold to the woman in exchange for money.Police still don’t know where the loot went after that.They hope the upcoming arrests will help answer many of the unresolved questions.So far, they have some leads.“We know that the gold jewellery they stole was sold to a Sherbrooke jeweller for $4 per gram,” Lemire said.That amountis cheap for the person who purchased the stolen goods, according to police.The suspects usually operated in pairs, knocking on the doors of houses where they knew there was no alarm system.If after two minutes of clamouring the occupants didn’t answer, they’d typically break into the houses and steal any valuables they could grab.On one occasion, some of the teens apparently even managed to get away with the goods in a house that did have an alarm system.Police said they were trying to see how much time they needed to get away with the stolen property before they could get caught.Police now say events leading to the raid allowed them to solve 43 breaking and entering cases.Equipment found in the apartment is linked to six of the 43 cases.They also uncovered how gold was robbed in Windsor and found out how one vehicle was stolen.Some of the suspects apparently found it more convenient to carry the goods by car than to walk into the mu- _ nicipal bus with some of the stolen prop- Pohce Sphered nearly $20,000 of stolen goods following raid.Much of the merchandise was erty.One of the television sets police returned t0 owners before ü ^s

Friday, March 2, 2001 page 9 ii THE mi Record Short skirts demand great legs If you don’t have Tina Turner legs, best to keep them covered ByJean Fraser Southam News Remember the mini?Well, it’s back.Hemlines are rising for spring, moving high, high and higher, for those who dare.Choices range from racy Gucci-style slivers of fabric to more sedate pinstripe minis to draped, boy-cut shorts, all worn with a playfully sexy edge.But if you go there, and many women will, try to remember this: super-short pretty well demands a great pair of legs.Which is why dancers love them, Ally McBeal can’t do without them and Ivana Trump can’t give them up.Why short now?Trend analysts like Donegar Group’s David Woolf say it’s because the stock market is shaky, the economy is spiralling and the industry is bored with long.Whatever the reason, the warm-weather message is clear: It’s time to live it up.Abbreviated hemlines are making a statement, but leather has polished up its act, moved away from black and gotten into the colour groove.Shiny new finishes get most of the credit for the shift from hard to soft.And for leather’s fresh appeal.But when it comes to shine, the cool, glossy glow of pearlized leather is perhaps the most modern.Not only does a pearly finish shimmer with the subdued glamour that de fines spring’s best clothes, its low-key, polished shine reflects the understated, casual attitude that is the mindset of spring.Fashioned into suits like the one featured here, the best pearlized leather combines sleek and sporty with a touch of ‘80s flash.But head-to-toe shine comes with a price.A suit like this demands a certain audacity, a look-at-me courage that calls for more than a pinch of self-confidence.Once that’s in place, it’s guaranteed to bring out the Pretty Woman within.Signalling fashion’s about-face from anything-goes-casual to a more business-like dress code is the industry-wide focus on the waist, played up by belts of every shape and size.While not as pronounced for spring as it is for fall, the belt is a good all-sea-son investment, especially a wide one made of leather.For a lighthearted spring fling, consider a thin rhinestone hook-up, first seen on the runway at Dolce & Gabbana and Versace and hugely in vogue in New York and Europe.: l'agi .Spring signals short skirts, longer jackets and plenty of waist detail

compensation, you had to sue the person who caused the accident.This entailed a number of inconveniences: • One out of four people were never compensated • Innocent victims were never totally compensated for their financial losses • Payments were long in coming—it took 2 to 10 years for final settlements to be made • People had to pay for their own rehabilitation.lumat is its role?The

the reports, there being no further business the meeting was adjourned.Gwen Parker, convener of International Affairs, presented a very interesting program on the past and present of the W.I., mentioning that February 19 is Founder’s Day.She asked us to imagine we are in the year 1897, when Adelaide Hunter Hoodless attended a meeting in Stoney Creek, Ont., to address a group of women on the importance of sanitation in the home and proper nutrition for the growing family.She was introduced by Erland Lee, secretary of the Farmers’ Agriculture Organization.He had heard her express her belief that the women should have an organization equal to the men.Thinking of living conditions in the first years, the work was necessarily different.It consisted of educating themselves and improving conditions in the homes, schools and hospitals.The movement reached Quebec in 1911 through the efforts of Mrs.George Beach and with help from the staff of Macdonald College.Now that the government has taken responsibility for many of the social ser- Tuesday, Feb.20 was our Valentine day at the Elie Carrier Centre because Feb.6 was no day for man nor beast to be outside even if they could get out, and a lot of us couldn’t get out without shovelling first and blowing snow second, then to find the car! However Tuesday, Feb.20 was different and a beautiful day to celebrate Valentine’s.The hall was decorated with red valentines, streamers, flowers and good wishes.Eight tables were set with red napkins and centered with a red rose in a short glass vase, thanks to Shirley.Our exercises were led by Lydia and with a very bad hurting hip she does very well.While waiting for our guest speaker, Shirley and Barbara told of upcoming events we might be interested in.A Weight Watchers meeting to start a program for English speaking persons at La Frontalière, and St.Jean d’Or is putting on a show, live, with exercises and dinner on March 28.Shirley had brought a “Little Kit To Help Make Life Better.” While Frances read from a list of articles, Shirley produced the articles one by one and read from the kit.Frances’ first article was a band aid, Shirley held up a band aid and read, “To remind you of healing hurt feelings, either your own or someone else’s.” Next was a button and Shirley held up a button and read to remind you to “button your lips” to keep from saying mean things about others or talking when not appropriate.A candy kiss was next to remind you that everyone needs a nice treat occasionally.A gold thread: to remind you that friendship is the gold thread that ties together the hearts of everyone.Eraser: to remind you that everyone makes mistakes.Mint: To remind you that you are worth a mint to vices and advancements in transportation and communication, our efforts have broadened in scope, but we still support schools, seniors and community projects.We began to think nationally when the Institutes across Canada became federated in 1919.In 1915 the movement was taken to Wales by Mrs.Alfred Watt.There she met with Lady Aberdeen, wife of a former Governor-General of Canada.They belonged to the International Council of Women.Through their efforts a rural women’s organization was formed, made up of many different rural organizations, so the name Associated Country Women of the World was chosen in 1933.As an international non-governmental organization ACWW is active with the United Nations, and have representatives on the various committees.Gwen was thanked for her very interesting presentation.To bring a busy afternoon to a close, members enjoyed refreshments served by Jessie MacKinnon and Nancy Barton.Phyllis Worster, Publicity your family and friends.Rubber Band: To remind you of hugging and times when you want to give a hug or receive one.A tissue: To remind you to dry someone’s tears (or perhaps your own so that you can see the tears of others).Last a toothpick: To remind you to “pick out” the good qualities of everyone, including yourself.This gave us all a little something to think about.Shirley read a lovely poem, “Friends for Eternity” very appropriate for Valentine’s Day.She spoke about the Town-shippers’ meeting that was held in Coaticook on Feb.12 which she and Roger and several others had attended.Our guest speaker Joyce Chagnon from Sherbrooke spoke on violence in men and counselling.Door prizes were chocolates won by Ruby Racicot, an erasable calendar won by Lloyd Mayhew (whose birthday it was that day and everyone sang birthday wishes to), Hughette Simard won chocolate kisses.While we were eating lunch we were suddenly told to look under our chairs for a sign indicating a gift to be won and Shirley was the recipient Later under our dessert plates another sign for a gift was won by Liane Mayhew.Our dinner was vegetable soup, beef stew with extra vegetables, relish, rolls, cake and ice cream, tea and coffee.While some of us helped clean up in the kitchen others played card games.When our day started early in the morning there was not many persons there, by noon we numbered close to 30.I am sure we would welcome 30 more at any time so our next get together will be on Tuesday, March 6 at 464 Merrill St.in Coaticook - Hope to see you there and bring a friend, 10 a.m.registration.Elise Mayhew
