it seems the cost-conscious Ontario government has concluded that high speeds, tailgating, rampant lane hopping and other reckless driving habits aren’t worth the money it costs to enforce the law.As if to prove this, a couple of years ago the Mike Harris cabinet outlawed the only real innovation in speed control in several decades - photo-radar, the roadside camera that catches speeders.Judging by the extremely few patrol cars to be seen, the Tories have also apparently ordered the OPF to keep off the roads.To top off the open season on the highways, just this week the government went even further, over-ruling a city of Toronto bylaw which would have allowed the police to use cameras to catch drivers running red lights.Maybe if the lights were Conservative blue.I wasn’t quite sure what I was going through until at last I figured it out on the highway home.After four days on the 401, I finally made my way back into Quebec.It was an eerie feeling, watching the traffic slow down exactly in front of the sign that says ‘Bjenvenu au Québec’.The proof of the pudding was that all the big transport trucks slowed down too, so it wasn’t just a coincidence.Instead of 140 km-h, the fast lane stayed steady at 110.Suddenly too there were police cars on the road.At least, I thought, our government hasn’t abandoned the highway asylum to the inmates.On the other hand, maybe people slow down so they have time to read the second road sign they see: ‘Next exit, Saint-Télesphore, Saint-Poly-carpe and Saint-Zotique.Yup, Saint-Télesphore, Saint-Poly-carpe and Saint-Zotique, all on one sign.Imagine seeing that one just after you enter Quebec.Don’t you love it?Charles Bury BEN ® by DANIEL SHELTON 'PTUIrTHERE/ THEN IT'S SETTLER PEN, WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT THIS/ GOOP I'M GLAP WE HAP THIS PISCUSSION HNNK PUW GNNK WHOT HNN SHHKGNT » HOTWf?WHA MWAM PH 0WON SOWK cron WLOONK SWEEKNPT PWEAKHEA?y-* [TJswokw.EAKW.'

search resumed.The ranks of volunteers swelled to 150, who divided into teams with 50 or so police officers to carry out the search.Quebec Police Force spokesman Cst.Serge Dubord said a helicopter equipped with a body heat detector was brought in Thursday at 6 a.m., and an hour later the tracking dogs were back at work.Police divers resumed their work on Lake St-François at 9 a.m.and a search is also being conducted on Rivière Sauvage near the bar.A search of all roads and ditches between the Bar Au Pont de Fer near Lambton and Maynard’s home in St-Mar-tin in the Beauce was included in Thursday’s sweep of the area.Maynard was last seen by friends at the popular bar Saturday night.The search for him began Sunday when it became apparent he had not returned home.“That is about 80 kilometres of roads,” Dubord said.“But so far we have found no trace of him.” The search has completely stumped the searchers.According to investigators Maynard was not known as a troubled teenager.Police so far have not even managed to turn up enough evidence to suspect foul play.The search for Samuel Maynard will resume today, and will continue through the weekend unless he is found.Missing man may have fled Staff The Quebec Police Force launched another search operation Thursday, this time for a 39-year-old St-Armand man missing since April 21.On Wednesday the Cowansville detachment of the QPF received a call reporting that the man was missing, and had not been seen by friends or family since April 21.Checking their records the police discovered they had found the man’s car on Claybank Road in Abercorn three days later.QPF spokesman Cst.Serge Dubord said a search team and helicopter was called in from Montreal to search the area around where the car was found, but turned up no trace of the man.Dubord said police had few details about the man, whose name was not released.It is not known if the man was depressed or in any kind of trouble at the time of the disappearance.Dubord would not speculate if the fact that the car was found less than two kilometres from the U.S.border indicated the man may have fled the country.The searchers will resume their work today.Motorcyclist dies from injuries Staff A 50-year-old Wotton motorcyclist has died after colliding head-on with a car Wednesday evening between Danville and Asbestos.Jacques Chainey was travelling towards Asbestos from Danville at about 7 p.m.when he apparently failed to turn into a curve and hit an oncoming car.He was rushed to the Centre Universitaire de la Santé de l’Estrie in Fleu-rimont, but died a few hours later.Quebec Police Force spokesman Cst.Serge Dubord said police are investigating the possibility that Chainey was ill at the time of the crash.He had a history of heart trouble, and may have failed to make the curve because of the sudden onset of an illness, Dubord said.Claude Hamann accused of obstruction Lawyer’s trial set for May 15 Staff Lawyer and municipal court judge Claude Hamann will Appear in front of a judicial ethics committee on May 13.The Conseil québécois de la magistrature announced earlier this week that they will act on a request by Serge Ménard, Quebec’s justice minister, to launch an investigation into Hamann’s conduct.Hamann is facing charges of obstruction of justice for allegedly trying to have South Stukely businessman Ray Coulombe pay $100,000 in exchange for the testimony of police informer Ricky Grenier.The charges against Coulombe have since been dropped.Last week Hamann appeared in court where he opted for a jury trial.He will appear in court in Cowansville again on June 26 to have a date set for his preliminary hearing.Along with the investigation by the judicial committee and the criminal charges in connection with the alleged obstruction of justice, Hamann will also face an investigation by the Quebec Bar Association.Ceremony to honor Battle of the Atlantic Sea Cadets visit Waterloo By Maurice Crossfield Waterloo will play host this weekend as some 300 members of the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets gather to mark the 55th anniversary of the Battle of the Atlantic.Sea Cadets from Waterloo, Val-court, Granby, Magog and possibly Sherbrooke will march through the streets Sunday morning.Setting out from the Waterloo Arena at 9 a.m., the 12 to 19-year-olds will march down Western and Lewis Streets, heading for a special ceremony on Presec Street.The ceremony there will honor those who died in the Battle of the Atlantic.Members of the Waterloo branch of the Royal Canadian Legion will also be on hand to march with the cadets.Some will get to ride in the parade, on World War 11 era vehicles.Organizer Michel Lapointe said that as of Thursday it still was not clear if the Royal Canadian Artillery would be taking part in the 6 km march.Lapointe said the weekend gathering will also mark the 15th anniversary of the Waterloo’s 291st Sea Cadet Corps.This year about 40 Waterloo area kids learned about the military and life on the high seas though the Sea Cadet program.Following the ceremony the cadets will then march back to the arena for a spaghetti dinner.The cadets will eat first, and then the event will be opened to the public at around noon.The cost for the spaghetti dinner will be $5.Tickets can be bought in advance at the Waterloo Legion, or at the door of the arena.“All of the proceeds go to support the cadets,” Lapointe said.“And there will be information on hand for anyone interested in joining the cadets.” Following the dinner the cadets will then spend the afternoon taking part in a variety of sports activities at the nearby Polyvalente Wilfred Légér, The day will be wrapped up with a dance for the cadets at the arena.Sherbrooke Symphony Choir

Friday, May 1, 1998 page 5 — THt»« RECORD Quebec eyeing plan to create regional CEGEPs Students want say By René Bruemmer Sherbrooke New laws governing CEGEPs could mean the creation of massive regional “super-CEGEPS” covering entire areas such as the Estrie region and encompassing 20,000 students.The new structures would be cheaper to run, but at the expense of the educational system, students say.Members of the student association of the Collège de Sherbrooke and a dozen interested students attended a press conference on the grounds of the CEGEP Thursday afternoon to protest what they say is government manipulation of the education system at the expense of students.Under Loi 166, titled “Les récents amendements sur la loi sur les collèges” (Recent amendments concerning the laws governing colleges), which was passed last winter, the provincial government proposed the idea of fusing CEGEPs to lower administrative costs.For instance, the CEGEPs of Granby, Thetford, Sherbrooke, Drummondville and Victoriaville could be fused to become one institution.In addition, each of those CEGEPs encompassed under the new mega-CEGEP could become responsible for one specialty, such as technology, health sciences, arts or commerce.Collège de Sherbrooke, for example, could be transformed into a soley technical school.“This would mean that students would have to move from home to study what they wanted to study,” student council president Sara Danièle Bélanger Michaud said.“If I want to study arts, I might have to move to Victoriaville.” The added expense of moving from home would force students to take out more loans, which would only benefit the government, Michaud said.For students, who represent one of the poorest sectors in society, especially in Sherbrooke, ranked the fourth poorest city in Canada, the financial burden imposed by a regional CEGEP system would be unfairly onerous.Large regional CEGEPs would also diminish students’ already paltry say in the running of their schools, Michaud said.Since only one student council would exist, it would be poorly prepared to cover the concerns of the various different schools.“As it is now, students, the ones who are most affected, have very little say in the governing of their schools,” Michaud said.“Now we would have even less.” She noted that only two of the 18 members on the Collège du Sherbrooke administrative council were students.Another two were professors and union representatives, and the rest were private citizens, “who make decisions that have absolutely no bearing on their lives, but a very important effect on the lives of students.” In addition, students protested government proposals to allow corporations to serve as private sponsors for CEGEPs, as is done at many universities.Sponsorship would tend to be onesided, with more money going to technical departments, and resulting in under-funded arts departments, Michaud said.“Instead, we should return to the financing structure of the 1950s, when all corporations paid nearly 50 per cent, as opposed to now where they pay about 10 per cent and the public pays 90.” Career Subscribe to The Record PRODUCTION

1, 1998 COMMUNITY FORUM / Letters to the Editor Anglos kept quiet about illegal voting Dear Editor, In your newspaper dated of April 10, 1998, some people dared to give their opinion about the problems of the students that were not eligible to vote, did vote and were prosecuted.I cannot accept what is said in these declarations because they are absolutely false.I was aware of this problem for many elections.We have advised MANY TIMES, the persons representing the Eastern Townships Association, and the University Bishop.The respect of the law does not seem to bother the Liberal party of Mrs.Gagnon-Tremblay.If we look back in your newspaper and in the French newspaper of that period of time, she was encouraging, at each election, the students to vote, whether or not, they had the right to do so.As a recording and revising officer at many elections, I personally called and advised the doubtful persons, in the mind of the revising committee, that they were not eligible to vote.The answers were the same, I will vote just the same.My position was to watch as close as possible, to avoid these problems but, there was a word passed to the students that there were no prob- lems, no risks, to go, no one has ever been prosecuted, they can go, and they did.Who was responsible for this, I do not know, but, what I can say is that Mrs.Gagnon-Tremblay and her committee were aware of the problem, and were encouraging the students to do so saying, as always, that the law was not clear, hard to explain, etc.etc.and that they shall vote.As far as Mr.Price is concerned, where was he in the organization of the elections?Where was he working at this committee, so that today, he dares to give his opinion on that.This is not because he was elected to the supposed federal government that gives him the permission to write something on what I believe he does not know.I deeply regret this fact, I really did appreciate him before.I thought he was honest in his opinions.Anyone saying that he was not advised, can slap his face to wake up, and ask themselves WHY they did not read the papers sent by the electoral committee! WHERE were they when all media, TV, radio, newspapers, etc., were passing the message on who can vote?At what conditions and so on.The aforementioned people were surely not in Quebec, to say what they’ve said.Moreover, all the recording offi- C&YIN' OUT LOUD-IT'S UKE HE’S MDEOF STONE' WAiT A Minute.WUWS THIS?, HUfcL a division of Communications Quebecor inc.2850 Delorme.Sherbrooke, Que.JlK 1A1

Record with the title ‘Chretien’s Cuba visit a cheap shot at the U.S.’ Yes, the PM’s visit was to some extent a cheap shot, but then most international politics involving Cuba involve such cheap shots.The Helms-Burton law is nothing but a cheap right-wing shot aimed at pleasing the unnecessarily powerful Florida Cuban lobby.It is also one of a long series of cheap shots made by the United States at Cuba since the early sixties.One of the effects of them has been to give plenty of cheap ammunition to the very person they are aimed at, namely Castro and company.As long as the United States continues to try to bully Cuba, the present regime will have a very strong raison d’être.In politics, there is nothing like a foreign threat to keep someone in power.The whole point of the U.S.-Cuba bickering is nobody is entirely right or wrong.Cuba is neither a worker’s paradise nor a hellhole of human right’s abuses.The United States is neither the Great Evil nor the great provider of freedom.In the context of Latin America, Castro has been a relatively benign as a dictator.Ironically, part of Cuba’s PR problem is that human rights abuses tend to occur much more publicly than in some Latin American countries.The Mexican government’s handling of the events in Chiapas is filled with attempts to cover up its wrong doing, whereas Cuba makes no attempt to hide the fact that it is holding political prisoners.It condemns them according to its explicit law, rather than using unseen and unaccountable death squads or para-militaries.We know much more about what is going on in Cuba, than in much of Mexico, our own NAFTA partner.The United States will not let a simple thing as human rights get in the way of markets, just look at its trade policy with China, the People’s Republic of.But then to say that would be a cheap shot at the U.S.While Cuba has been a one party state since the late 50s, Mexico has been one in practice since the 20s.But then to say that would be a cheap shot at the U.S.While the level of medical care available in Cuba is low, it is universal.That is better than is presently offered in Bolivia, a nice little U.S.-allied democracy, where they started to give medical care to children and pregnant women a few years ago, but only in areas that happen to have a clinic.It is also better coverage than say the United States.While I do not claim the care is as good, what can be provided is available.But then to say that would be a cheap shot at the U.S.With respect to education, Cuba does one of the best jobs in Latin America with a literacy rate of 98 per cent.But then to say that would be a cheap shot at the U.S.The essential problem with U.S.in the matter of Cuba is that Cuba reveals all that is wrong with its policies in Latin America.The basic problem with Cuba, is that the United States has marginalised and isolated it so long by too many cheap shots to the extent that Castro will die before admitting to defeat by ‘los Yanquis’ for the simple reason that to his mind he has won.To him, the United States lost the battle for moral supremacy long ago.But then to say that would be a cheap shot at the U.S.If they were re-open relations with Cuba as a neighbour rather than as a vassal of an “evil empire,” the chances are life would improve for ordinary Cubans.While the Cubans of Miami and some large multi-national corporations might not be compensated for thirty year old losses, I think they have long since wasted that “capital” in cheap shots.But then to say that would be a cheap shot at the U.S.So viva Chretien’s visit to Cuba! I would much rather see him walking the streets of Havana than going a meeting of a hemispheric “gran famila con los Estados Unidos como padre” because I prefer a father that will admit he makes mistakes.Part of the reason Chretien’s lack of criticism about human rights has to do with the fact that Castro is to a certain extent immune to that type of cheap shot.He is also beginning to change on the issue.Viva end to cheap shots and to the beginning of discussion!

AITIT it mi i I •«< .^ By Rita Legault Melbourne Township Many farmers in the Val St.François valley expressed their discontent with Hydro-Québec and with farm union leaders who gave their support to the passage of a high voltage transmission line through the Val St-François valley.The Union des producteurs agricoles called a meeting Wednesday night between producers affected by the 735-kilo-volt transmission line that will cross the Val St-François MRC on its way from the des Canton substation in Windsor to the Hertel substation near LaPrairie to reinforce the power supply to Montreal’s South Shore in case of another ice storm.Despite warnings only two people were turned away from the by-invitation-only meeting - an elderly woman who owned property affected by the line and her son.The goal of the meeting was for Hydro officials to discuss compensation measures for farmers as established in an agreement between the provincial farmers union and the utility in 1989.Hydro announced it has accepted the line proposed by experts hired by the MRC which was presented at a public meeting last Thursday.But it added that slight modifications of 100 metres one way or the other were still possible to accommodate farmers.Farmers learned that Hydro will turn over a $300 cheque during a first visit, and another $300 when officials surveys the land.Farmers will be compensated for the land that is cleared for the right of way as well as for noise and traffic on their land during the construction period, and for any lost crops or damages to their fields.The utility will pay farmers to use access roads to difficult to reach areas, put in temporary gates and fences and compensate farmers $400 for each pylon on their property.Hydro is also responsible for restoring the land after if has finished construction.Many farmers and woodlot owners expressed concerns about where they will sell the wood that is cut to make way for the line, pointing out that there is a glut on the market due to the huge number of trees damaged during January’s ice storm.But many woodlot owners were more concerned with the permanent loss of value to their land after the passage of the transmission lines.After listening politely to Hydro officials for almost an hour, many farmers in the room erupted into anger over discussion on how they will be compensated for lost real estate values.Hydro official Jean Guy Pelletier informed residents that they will be compensated the market valued of land plus 50 per cent for farmland, and the market value of land plus 50 per cent for wood-lots in addition to the value of standing timber and future crops.“What about the value of our land for recreational or tourism activities?” asked woodlot owner Ron Ewing.“It won’t be worth two cents after this!” “The land will be completely devalued,” he said.“We don’t need studies or geniuses to figure that out.” Ewing said that property in the country could not be compared to urban areas where there is already a lot of visual and noise pollution.Denis Ewing argued that not only the rights of way and adjacent land are affected by the lines.He said the whole property is devalued by the presence of transmission towers.“It’s total destruction,” he said.Farmer Ken Dubé added that Hydro’s compensation package didn’t take into account the visual pollution created by hydroelectric lines and towers.Others were concerned about their sentimental attachment to the land- particularly the Nelson family which has been farming in the Valley for six generations.“They’re going to slash through a whole mile of our property,” said Shirley Nelson.“What’s it going to be worth after that?” “You will destroy what gives a sense to our life,” said Michèle Trudel.“That you cannot disprove despite all of your expertise.” Some farmers expressed concerns about the noise level created by the lines.While Hydro could not give specific answers to questions on decibel levels, they said the lines make more noise when it was humid, when it rains and snows.“It just a little buzzing noise,” said Hydro spokesman Jean-Pierre Tardif, who lives about 100 metres from power transmission lines in St.Bruno.But the venom turned away from Hydro and towards UPA leaders when president Antoine Doyon announced he was in favor of the project.Doyon said that after the ice storm, he felt the lines were needed to secure the network.“Who said we needed the lines, the Bouchard dictatorship?” demanded Denis Ewing.“You don’t have any guts.Did you consult your membership?” “We pay your salary,” said another farmer.“We were in the dark for 29 days.We are against it.” Meanwhile, a handful of farmers who seemed to be in favor of the line remained silent.Doyon said that PERRY BEATON/CORRESPONDENT Shirty Nelson showed UPA and hydro officials where power lines would cut through a mile of the family’s land.the farmers union did not intend to fight the line, but wanted to ensure that it had the least possible impact and that farmers were fairly compensate for their troubles and losses.Hydro officials and UPA organizers were less than thrilled with the emotional outbursts, and tried in vain to get the meeting back on track.But despite threats that no disruptions would be tolerated and that troublemakers would be ousted, three security guards hired to keep the peace remained downstairs.Hydro will meet with individual property owners in the next few weeks to take an inventory of the land and to begin negotiations for rights of way and other compensation.It hopes to begin clear cutting the path of the line in June, so it can be built in August and in operation before winter.PERRY BEATON/CORRESPONDENT Ron and Dennis Ewing argued entire properies will be devalued.TELEPHONES DON'T RENT FROM BELL, BUY

Lake Street, Newport 802-334-2340 page 8 Friday, May 1, 1998 'THÉ' Quebec tells Ottawa to compensate all victims Chrétien scrambles as Quebec breaks ranks By Joan Bryden South am News Ottawa The bruising battle over Hepatitis C compensation has left Prime Minister Jean Chrétien scrambling to contain the damage to his health minister’s credibility, his party’s reputation for compassion and his own image as a democrat.And now the first crack has appeared in provincial solidarity as Quebec’s National Assembly unanimously adopted Wednesday a motion urging the federal government to take sole responsibility for compensating all victims who contracted the incurable liver disease from tainted blood.The motion would mean compensating as many as 60,000 more victims, at a cost of as much as $3 billion - in addition to the 22,000 who have been offered compensation under a $1.1-billion federal-provincial deal.Ottawa is chipping in $800 million and the provinces $300 million Quebec's defection undercuts the federal government's contention that all governments support the decision to compensate only those victims who were infected between 1986 and 1990, when a screening test for contaminated blood was widely available but not used.It suggests the decision to exclude some victims was based on governments' refusal to cough up money, not, as Chrétien contends, the principle that compensation be paid only where government negligence can be proved.However, Premier Lucien Bouchard denied his government has broken ranks.“We haven’t (broken ranks),” he said.“We are sticking to the agreement we have with them.We don’t add money to what we put in the first program.I think we are along the lines that we have drawn with them.” Bouchard also agreed with Quebec Opposition Leader Daniel Johnson that the government can compensate those infected with Hepatitis C without creating a costly precedent.“It’s an individual case.It doesn’t carry legal responsibility.It doesn’t create a precedent.It doesn’t prejudice what could happen in the future concerning the establishment of a different regime.” Chrétien was on the defensive all day Wednesday, one day after Liberal MPs united to defeat a Reform motion urging compensation for all Hepatitis C victims.Chrétien fended off opposition calls for Health Minister Allan Rock’s resig- nation and tried to deflect accusations that his Liberal government is heartless.And he faced charges that he browbeat reluctant backbenchers into supporting the government.Chrétien also faced a glum Liberal caucus, where a few MPs privately complained that the federal-provincial deal to compensate only some Hepatitis C victims has been badly handled and poorly explained.While there were no fireworks, some also questioned Chré-tien’s decision to make the Reform motion a matter of confidence, forcing all backbenchers to fall in line or risk bringing down the government.MPs variously described the mood of Wednesday’s caucus meeting as reflective and subdued.They said Chrétien acknowledged the vote was difficult for many Liberals but did not apologize for insisting upon absolute solidarity and gave a forceful defence of the embattled Rock.One reason Chrétien raised the stakes so high was to protect Rock, who Liberal strategists feared would have been put in an untenable position had Parliament repudiated the compensation deal he has struck with the provinces.Those fears seemed justified Wednesday when Reformers, despite losing the vote, attacked Rock as "heart- less" and "cruel" and Preston Manning demanded his resignation.“If this minister had any principles he would have resigned weeks ago.This minister has lost the confidence of the House.He has lost the confidence of the Canadian people,” said Manning, who had previously insisted the vote had nothing to do with confidence in the government.“There is only one question left to ask him and that is when will he tender his resignation?” In his most spirited defence of Rock yet, Chrétien argued there would have been no compensation for any Hepatitis C victims if Rock had not forced the provinces to deal with the issue.“He is the one who was the first in Canada to raise the issue and worked to make sure that all the provinces were involved in order to offer compensation to the victi ms of hepatitis C,” Chrétien retorted.As for charges that the Liberals have sacrificed their reputation as the party of compassion, Chrétien said Reformers’ professed concern for the plight of victims can’t be taken seriously given the party’s agenda of slashing funding for social programs, aboriginal people and the elderly.IJJ/J?yourself and three members of your family winning a 5-day, expense-paid trip to celebrate Canada Day in one of these capitals: .i I^JlurE.r1 W- *1 ns.uj.rm fflyimi r i .ÜXCîlY/il r- I rrsfilifrJCTO/J ta v tanada IN THE CAPITALS a Trip to a Canadian Capital City for Canada Day!

Mclntee stares quizzically at the poetic verse about love written on the blackboard in the downtown Guelph classroom.“This isn’t satanic," she says to the three English as a Second Language students in the classroom.After a slight mental tussle with the language, Mexican student Sylvia Lopez understands the confusion and pipes up, “No, I meant Titanic .it’s the song from the movie.” Mistakes come as easily as laughter at Guelph’s new language school called Global Awareness Through English, or G.A.T.E.There, students like Lopez may have their first exposure to what is increasingly recognized as the international language of business.The 25-year-old commercial and residential architect from Monterrey, Mexico, found her lack of English skills hindered her career in construction.“Everything is in English,” she said.“Materials, everything.” Eighteen-year-old Heesung Kim and his 17-year-old sister, Jeeye, left their Korean home to live in Europe for a while, but now are in Guelph trying to perfect their English.“Everyone speaks English all over the world,” he said.“In Korea, if you can’t speak Korean, you can (still) find a job easily.” The adventurous Kims, whose father is a successful businessman, believe they must master the language if they are to travel and make valuable connections.“You have a lot of friends all over the world .my father says if you keep contact with them it can be really good in business.” Two brothers, Todd and Brett Smith, founded GA.T.E.with their wives Sandy and Maureen.The four had gone to university together and later taught ESL to youth in Toronto.With their individual backgrounds in law, philosophy, education and environmental studies, the group hoped they could bring an interesting and fresh twist to learning.“We thought, why not use all these backgrounds .we want to stimulate the students, they learn quicker,” Brett said.“Traditional courses teach 'the dog ran across the road,'” said Sandy.“It’s a very superficial level.” GA.T.E.was developed as an immersion program focusing on global issues such as human rights, deforestation, the environment, women’s issues, the world economy, conflict and leadership.The goal is for students not only to learn English, but to speak on such topics with a high level of understanding and articulation.The group promoted GA.T.E.through a Web site and at education fairs in Asia and Mexico where it is not unusual for 20,000 students to pour through, seeking opportunities abroad.There are also Guelph-area residents using the school THE PROBLEM OF THIRD WORLD EXPLOITATION The Third World is poor, but it’s not because they are stupid, nor is it because they are inferior.Indeed theyare not much different from ourselves.Why then is the Third World poor?Puppet governments in many Third World countries disposes people of their land and increase personal income taxes for the poor and middle classes.They often lower educational and health standards.The result is a class of desperately poor people who will accept hard work, long hours, and starvation wages just to stay alive.These govenments do the bidding of the huge agribusiness corporations, giving them tax breaks and often arresting, torturing, and/or murdering those who advocate social justice for the peasants.For all intents and purposes, this is indeed slavery.We, and a few others, buy coffee from Farmers’ Cooperatives at fair prices, giving these farmers a better standard of living and control over their own lives and production.It’s called “fair trade”.Many of these farmers now grow coffee organically, without pesticides and chemical fertilizers.Also, Arabica beans have slightly lower caffeine levels than Robusta beans.The Robusta beans are cheaper, so most coffee corporations include them in their blends.“Just Us” Coffee • Our coffee is grown on small family farms and dried in the sun, naturally.• It is carefully roasted in small batches, to maintain quality.• We sell only Arabia

includes three or four weeks of instruction.Adults can join month-long or longer programs offering 25 hours of instruction weekly.All courses focus on reading, writing and conversation through workshops and more informal classes where even Canadian slang is discussed.Courses include fun ways of learning, such as music, outings, physical activities, crafts, social times and even a trip to a

Allen sat on the CLAU bid review committee which heard the presentations from Hamilton and Halifax last Thurs- day and passed on a recommendation to a CIAU director’s meeting Saturday in Toronto.The board picked Halifax.Allen said while there was a lot of support from within the CIAU for Hamilton, there was a consensus for Halifax in the final decision.The Halifax bid “substantially exceeded” the $114,000 minimum pay-out guarantee that the CIAU set for hosting the Nationals, according to Allen.They also promised to try to make it into a week-long festival, instead of the traditional Friday-Sunday format of the tournament.Halifax organizers say at present, the Nationals and the events surrounding it pump upwards of $3 million a year into the Nova Scotia economy.The 1998 Nationals were among the most successful ever.The title game, which featured Bishop’s against McMaster University, was seen by 6,000 fans in-person and thousands more on TSN.As a whole, the tournament featured improvements in total revenue and sponsorship dollars, which are barometers of a strong, healthy event.Alex J.Walling, TSN’s Atlantic Correspondent, said he believed the success of the 1998 National Championship tournament - helped in large part by the boisterous fans from Bishop’s - was a big reason why the Nationals are staying in Halifax instead of moving to Hamilton.The status quo ain’t too bad, he told the Record.Fifteen years ago, Halifax took what had been a vagabond event that nobody wanted to host since it was a perpetual money loser and transformed it into the first-rate show it is today.While Hamilton, the other competing bid, might have been able to offer the glitz of the 17,000-seat Copps Coliseum to host the Nationals, I don’t think it would have been quite the event there than it is in Halifax.An estimated 500 purple-clad B.U.backers made the pilgrimage to Halifax this year to watch the Gaiters win their first ever National title.They flooded the Metro Centre with their encouraging cheers, and impressed everyone with their spirit.Record photographer Perry Beaton summed things up best about how Halifax was transformed essentially into a Lennoxville East when he told me a story of his late night adventures.One night he was walking by the local landmark known as Pizza Corner when who did he see inside one of the restaurants but his neighbors from Conley Street (in Lennoxville).The ambiance and nature of Halifax lends itself to events like the CIAU National Championships.Everything is centered in the downtown area, and easily accessible by spectators and participants.Within a five minute walk of the Metro Centre are countless bars, a casino, restaurants, and other many other forms of entertainment.“I think these financial indicators helped the CIAU with their decision a little bit,” said Halifax bid organizer Peter Halpin.“But CIAU sports are also extremely important to Nova Scotians,” Halpin, said the former St.Mary’s University basketball player.“So our commitment to the CIAU is to further develop the Final Eight and make it into one of Canada’s premier sporting and cultural events.The Final Eight championship will maintain its eight team single elimination format, which includes six conference champions and two wild card teams.Activities will run throughout the week leading up to the Final Eight, and new services and activities are being developed to increase the recognition of student-athletes involved.“We had a lot of nervous anticipating leading up until when they told us the Nationals would still be in Halifax.” Conditions ideal for maple festival's popular race Morse dashes through Sap Run in 43:27 St Albans Vt.Eric Morse, of Moretown Vt., toed the line with 115 other starters at 10:30 a.m.on Sunday morning opposite the village green in Swanton.That was the last most of them saw of him as the quiet natured monument engraver vanished over the horizon towards St Albans in the fastest Sap run yet.Leaving nothing to chance, Morse powered smoothly along the opening downhill stretch, dragging Sam Davis behind.Holding form and accelerating up the grades along Route 7, he widened the gap steadily, passing the golf course 5 mile marker in 25:38, out of site of the competition.Long strides and superb aerobic efficiency carried him flying through the tape in the course record time of 43:27.Davis, last years winner, actually improved on that performance as he held onto second in 46:07.Joshua Brown nailed down third place with a 47:15 showing.Montreal's Cindy New was in good form as well.She hit 5 miles in 31:19, and then thrashed the course in 53:13.She was first among women and 12th overall.Last year's winner, Susan Barber, hung tough for most of the race, crossing second in 54:12.St Alban's local favourite, Shari Bashaw, came along for third in 55:16.Murray Reynolds, sid-lined by a muscle injury incurred in the Stowe 8 Miler last july, cheered in the finishers and spotted several local

lead Toronto Blue Jays on TSN Baseball tries to strike out Lord Stanley’s Cup Sports on the small Screen Ted Shaw The key to success for the Toronto Blue Jays this season could be veterans Mike Stanley and Darrin Fletcher.Stanley, 34, and Fletcher, 31, were acquired in the off-season to prop up the Blue Jays’ stumbling offense.A career .273 hitter in his 12 major-league seasons, Stanley, who is the Blue Jays’ designated hitter, has been a role player for most of his career.He began the season at first base while Carlos Delgado recovered from shoulder surgery.Last year, during stints with the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox, Stanley batted .350 with runners in scoring position and had 65 RBIs in 347 at-bats, one of the highest percentages in the American League.Fletcher was signed to back up catcher Benito Santiago, but Santiago’s injuries in a January car accident made Fletcher the starter.Fletcher had a terrific spring training, batting more than .300.Though he started the season with a 0-for-20 slump, his numbers should improve as the weather warms up.Last season with the Montreal Expos, he platooned with Chris Widger and hit 17 home runs with 55 RBIs.The Blue Jays also acquired closing pitcher Randy Myers and slugger Jose Canseco during the off-season, and both played well in April.This week the Blue Jays wrap up their first West Coast swing.TSN will televise Toronto at Anaheim on Wednesday, May 6, and Toronto at Seattle from Thursday through Saturday, May 7 through 9.Dan Shulman calls the action, and Buck Martinez, a former Blue Jays catch- er, is the color analyst.There are no baseball games on CBC Television because of the NHL playoffs.• TSN and CTV will show the first round of the NBA playoffs this week.Check local listings for teams and
