Wilson, her husband Tim and their daughter, Blair, 13, and son Joshua, 11, were part of a special pilgrimage by 11 family members of victims of the Flight 111 crash.The family members braved the rough seas aboard the Canadian Navy’s coastal defence ship HMCS Goose Bay to see the place where their loved ones died.Flight 111 crashed Sept.2 about 10 kilometres off Peggy’s Cove.The pilots reported smelling smoke in the cockpit about 16 minutes before the plane plunged into the ocean.The plane was attempting an emergency landing at Halifax International Airport when it disappeared from radar.Its wreckage was found 60 metres below the surface, near barren, wind-swept Pearl Island.Miles Gerety, whose brother Pierce, a United Nations refugee worker, died in the crash, hoped that Pearl Island would be a suitable place for a memorial to the crash victims.But it was not the island that captured his imagination.“That spot is magnificent,” said Gerety gazing out of the bridge of the minesweeper towards the crash area.“Pearl is a little too stark for my tastes, but this place takes my breath away.” It’s not easy for Gerety to talk about his brother without tears coming to his eyes.“It’s a cathartic experience, it really is,” said Gerety.“It’s very powerful; very emotional.” The family members held a private memorial Wilson is trying to cope with the loss of his son by relying on his faith.He sees that faith in the small things in life.service on the aft-deck of the Goose Bay.The media and crew members maintained a respectful distance as the small cluster of families held each other.They huddled to protect themselves from the cold, southwest wind and to draw strength from each other.Tim Wilson, a Baptist minister, said a few words and then the families tossed red flowers and a memorial wreath into the water.Wilson is trying to cope with the loss of his son by relying on his faith.He sees that faith in the small things in life.“Did you see that?” he asks a reporter minutes after the wreath-laying.“A ray of sun hit the spot where we tossed the wreath.Beautiful.” The families are staying with people from the St.Margaret’s Bay area; some of the same people who were first on the scene the night the plane crashed.Wilson said he will forever appreciate their help and the continuing efforts by the Transportation Safety Board to find the cause of the crash.“There is a very special place in our hearts for Canada,” he said.The families have all met because of the Swissair tragedy.They keep in touch over the Internet and by phone to help each other.“Nobody else can fathom what this is like," said Peggy Coburn, whose husband Richard died on Flight 111.“We help each other.” On the trip back to Halifax, the families quietly gazed out the windows deep in their own thoughts.The normally effusive Gerety appeared calm and reflective.“I’m drained," he said.“It’s tough some days just trying to figure out what to do next.” The trip has been worth it for the Wilson family.Judy Wilson said she wouldn’t have made it without her youngest children.She said she wanted to give them a chance to connect one last time with their brother.“They may not know it now but someday they will realize how significant it is for us to be here today,” she said.BEN ® by DANIEL SHELTON r ÛLI VIA, I WE NOW OWN www.total.netrbenolivi LOOK/ IT SEEMS HAVE OUR

1998 page 3 Townshippers invited to share with less fortunate Nez Rouge program keeps Township’s roads safe By Maurice Crossfield t ¦ jhe holiday season is just around the corner, and with .X.it comes office parties, get togethers, and an increase in drunk driving.But you can avoid getting behind the wheel after having a few too many by calling Operation Nez Rouge.The popular alternative to drinking and driving during the holidays will be back in operation for its ninth consecutive year as of December 10.The idea behind the program is the same as always.After an evening of celebrating the holidays with a few drinks, party goers contact Nez Rouge.A two-person team arrives, with one person getting behind the wheel of your car.You and your car are then taken safely home.The second team member then picks up the driver to return to headquarters.The service is free, but donations are gratefully accepted.Money raised from the Brome-Missisquoi Nez Rouge will go to the Cowansville youth centre and the Loisirs St-Damien de Bedford.In all, nearly 700 volunteers will be helping out with this year’s Nez Rouge, which covers some 37 communities across the Brome-Missisquoi regional municipality (MRC).While the main call centre will be in Cowansville, a satellite operation will be working out of Bedford, and two smaller service points will be set up in Knowlton and Farnham.“The volunteers are largely responsible for the ever-growing success of Nez Rouge,” said president Maryse Dorais.She said the Brome-Missisquoi edition of Nez Rouge is looking to provide rides for over 1,000 people in its 22 nights of operation between Dec.10 and 31.In the 15 years since the first Nez Rouge started in Quebec nearly 600,000 people have called for a ride home.Also back this year will be Nez Rouge's popular 5 to 7 service on Thursday and Friday evenings, aimed at after-work Christmas parties.Some 33 per cent of Nez Rouge’s customers are men between 25 and 34 years of age.This age group also provides the highest proportion of dead drivers due to alcohol.Besides the possibility of causing a serious or even deadly accident, there are also legal reasons not to drive drunk.Anyone failing a breathalyser test by registering a blood alcohol level of more than 0.08 will have their drivers’ licences suspended on the spot for 15 days.Do it again and lose your licence for 30 days.But that’s not all.You will then be called to appear in court for the remainder of the penalty.A first conviction for driving while impaired results in a suspended licence for one year.A second conviction means a two-year suspension, and subsequent drunk driving offences will result in 36-month suspensions.People caught driving with a suspended licence can have their vehicles seized on the spot for a 30-day period.To spread the news Nez Rouge volunteers will also be visiting area high schools to spread the word about the perils of drunk driving.“The goal of this is to make tomorrow’s drivers aware of the dangers of drunk driving,” said organizer Line Vaillancourt.So if you’ve had a few drinks to celebrate the coming of Christmas or New Years Eve, don’t forget to call Operation Nez Rouge at 266-4011 in the Cowansville region, or 1 800 363-4011 elsewhere in Brome-Missisquoi.The same numbers also apply for anyone wishing to volunteer their services as a driver.FOOD: Continued from page 1 In Sherbrooke, donations made during the launch of the food drive will be going to “La Fondation Rock Guertin.” This well-known foundation was established 18 years ago by Rock Guertin, a talk radio host for CHLT radio after he received a call from a woman who said she had nothing to eat.Guertin made a plea to the community and was inundated with enough food to fill 40 baskets, Since then, the foundation has become part of the social fabric of the region.Every year, around Christmas, the foundation receives between 2,000 and 2,500 requests for baskets but can only respond to about 1,200 of the requests.On Tuesday, the Roch Guertin Foundation launched its campaign for food and funds and welcomed the participation of the Record and the Guignolée Pierre Péladeau in the local food drive.The Guignolée Pierre Péladeau food drive is a province-wide initiative, dedicated to the memory of the former newspaper magnate and founder of the Quebecor empire which owns The Record.Péladeau himself came from a working class family and despite his success never forgot his background, contributing to several causes.“This movement has to fit his image, that is large and unifying,” said his son Erik, describing why the food drive will benefit the whole province.Donations for the food drive can be made at the Record, Provi-Soir, Dépanneur Couche Tard, Archambault music, CHLT radio and Place Brouillard.Some of the donations collected in the Eastern Townships will be given to Moisson Estrie which will distribute food to various food banks in the area.Donations can be made until Dec.24, the day Pierre Péladeau died in hospital after suffering a heart attack December 2.André Charpentier, Roch Guértin , Sherbrooke mayor Jean Perrault, and Serge Audet launched the 18th annual Roch Guértin

Delorme St.Sherbrooke, Qc J1K1A1 page 4 Monday, November 30, 1998 ‘You will have no peace as long as there is no justice’ Protesters taunt RCMP guards outside 24 Sussex By Juliet O’Neill Southam News Ottawa About 20 young protesters demonstrated outside Prime Minister Jean Chrétien’s residence Sunday, demanding he come out and accept a home-made summons to appear at the public inquiry into the APEC pepper-spraying incident.The cluster of activists spent about 40 minutes taunting RCMP guards with profanities and props which included a stack of fake summonses, a giant can of pepper spray constructed of papier mache and a fellow wearing a mask of Chretien and carrying an oversized baseball bat.Demonstration leader Garth Mullins of Vancouver, branding Chrétien a dictator and an autocrat, vowed to keep hounding the prime minister over the APEC issue.“We put you on warning -you will have no peace as long as there is no justice.” There have been allegations the Prime Minister’s Office played a role in an RCMP clampdown on protests against former Indonesian strongman Suharto and other leaders attending last year’s Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation summit in Vancouver.k 1 T I I 8 * P 8 How a universal joint works The connection between an axle that travels up and down with the bumps of the road, and an engine that's fixed to a stationary mount under the hood, requires a flexible intermediary coupling called a universal joint.Although rugged, the backbone of a U-joint is its small needle bearings that allow the driveshaft to pivot.Mullins circulated a written statement from Democracy Street, a group of 29 APEC protesters, expressing outrage that the RCMP Public Complaints Commission inquiry has been suspended while a court considers allegations that commission chairman Gerald Morin has a bias against the RCMP.Five RCMP officers stood shoulder to shoulder to block a portion of the entry to Chrétien’s driveway that is under construction and was open to the street.The students gathered in front of them just inches away.Two masonry workers put down their tools during the episode.Extra RCMP appeared on the grounds away from the entry 1 and one officer in uniform took video film of the demonstration.“Come the f—out ! Come the f— out of your house !” the group chanted.This was the chorus of a song they had practised on a yellow school bus en route to 24 Sussex Drive from a meeting of the Canadian Federation of Students, which is sponsoring a speaking tour by Mullins and Alissa Westergard-Thorpe, another member of Democracy Street.Sophie Garneau, a spokesman for the Prime Minister’s Office, refused to say whether Chrétien was at home or elsewhere in Ottawa, although she did scotch a rumour at the demonstration that he was in Vancouver.His whereabouts are not made public when he is on “private time" on weekends, Garneau said.Universal joint Suspension travel To differential (rear) Driveshaft yolk Suspension travel Driveshaft (front) .- - - -5 Clamps Driveshaft rotation At rest (side view) Inside

and Gabriella Gamini Southam News London The British and Chilean governments denied Sunday that they had made a deal to release Augusto Pinochet from custody in exchange for a guarantee that he would face trial in Chile.But as British Home Secretary Jack Straw continued to consider whether to authorize extradition proceedings against the former Chilean dictator, senior ministers admitted that if it could be shown that Pinochet would face justice at home, criticism of any decision to allow him to go might be softened.Straw is looking at the issue in his quasi-judicial role, but compassion is a possible ground for refusing proceedings for his extradition to Spain.Despite reports in two British newspapers that the two countries were close to a deal, the British government said Sunday that there was no agreement with Chile and the position was unchanged from last week.Jose Miguel Insulza, Chile’s foreign minister, also denied that he was negotiating a deal.“I wouldn’t say that we were making any deals or we’re going through any negotiations.Actually we have not had negotiations saying: ‘give him back to us and we will try him’,” he told BBC television.Britain’s Conservative party on Sunday backed Insulza’s call for Pinochet to be allowed home to face trial.Sir Norman Fowler, the shadow home secretary, said Straw should use his discretion to bring the proceedings to an end.Lord Lamont, the former cabinet minister, also argued that the former dictator should be allowed to go home.“I think that to extradite General Pinochet will be a signal to every other dictator in the world never to hand over power to democracy again,” he said in a television interview.Stressing his condemnation of torture and abuse of human rights, he said: “I think this is a matter for the Chilean government and the Chilean people to settle.They have their own particular reasons for wanting to do so.” Monday, November 30, 1998 page 5 RECORD ALBUM HI lipi -, A ” Â'Ètk,, ¦ * ¦ ,¦ v '' J8S&& æ.«

************************** mm mm MP* page 6 Monday, November 30, 1998 COMMUNITY FORUM Bid to woo ethnic voters a sign of things to come Last week the Parti Québécois government unveiled plans to spend Sll million on improving French-language instruction for those whose first language is neither French nor English.The money may help do that, but of course the real intent of the announcement is to ease the frustration of ethnic voters just before an election.1 saw this frustration firsthand when I enrolled in a French-language school in Quebec City earlier this fall.Most of my fellow students were recent refugees and immigrants who received government money while they were studying French.What 1 found interesting was that many of these students, who had been professionals abroad, were determined to learn English, even if the money was coming out of their own pockets.A typical day for them involved running from government-subsidized French classes to low-paying jobs to private English classes.The reason for the sacrifice?The students I spoke with told me they expect to leave the province.Less than a year in Quebec and they’ve already had their fill of sniping over language and talk of separation.And of course with the higher jobless rate in Quebec compared to Ontario or the West, there’s less chance of them getting jobs here in their chosen professions.The fact many newcomers leave Quebec never seemed to be a concern for the PQin the past.This is, after all, the same political party that brought in Bill 101, which effectively forbids immigrants from sending their kids to English schools, and whose former leader, Jacques Parizeau, blamed ethnics for the defeat of the Yes side in the 1995 referendum.Now, on the eve of an election, the PQ government has offered to overhaul an education system it admits has failed immigrants and their children.A report unveiled by Education Min- ister Pauline Marois last week paints a grim picture for allophones in Quebec.For example, only one in three who starts school in Quebec as a teenager gets a high-school diploma.An overwhelming majority repeat two or more years of school.The report says there’s an increasing tendency for allophones to switch to English-language CEGEPs once they finish high school.Marois says she’s committed to sorting out these problems, and that’s why the government is spending money to improve the situation.Maybe, but the PQ may also be waking up to the province’s changing demographics, perhaps the biggest hurdle of all to Quebec independence.Sure, the federalist side has been hurt in recent years by the departure of many thousands of anglophones, but their place is being taken by immigrants from countries like Lebanon, China and the former Yugoslavia.Ethnics make up a bigger slice of the Quebec electorate than ever before.Even if immigrants aren’t flocking here in the same numbers as elsewhere in Canada (only 15 per cent of immigrants since 1991 chose Quebec), and even if many newcomers leave Quebec, they still represent a solid 9.4 per cent of the province’s population, according to the 1996 census.What’s more, the allo-phone segment is growing faster than any group but Aboriginals.It may be hard to imagine immigrants from war-torn countries voting in large numbers for a party that would split up this country, but recent PQ overtures would suggest ethnic voters aren’t being written off any more as a federalist lost cause.If the PQis re-elected Nov.30, and polls show that’s a safe bet, expect a lot more ethnic-kissing in the run-up to the next referendum.Don

CDNA, NMB, QCNA DEY ÇTiLL Letters to the Editor Franchises and public will lose in Canada Post deal Dear Editor, I believe that the Government of Canada is conspiring with Canada Post to drive postal franchises out of business by implementing a proposed new commission structure on December 1.In other words, there goes mail service again.Here are some facts: The proposed changes will mean a 71 percent reduction on stamp sales.Stamps represent over 50 percent of sales by volume for most outlets.The change in fee structure is effective immediately with no regard for the existing contract.Many outlets have incurred debts in setting up their businesses.They reasonably believed they had a contract.They had no way of knowing the Corporation would covet their earnings and try to change the rules.Unexpected reductions in revenue make it difficult, sometimes impossible, for the owners to survive.For many, these changes will spell financial ruin and bankruptcy.As for the consumer, they are once again at the mercy of the government and Canada Post.They may expect mail disruptions and lack of service as these outlets are forced to close.I believe that the Government of Canada is an accessory to Canada Post’s deceptive practices.Canada Post signed contracts with franchisees and businesses were set up based on that contract.Now Canada Post is changing the commission structure in a manner that will cause most franchises to lose money.The justification seems to be that franchises were never intended to make money.That could be construed as fraud.In essence the Government of Canada is allowing Canada Post to steal from its franchises.The profits of these small business people, who signed contracts in good faith, are being plundered.If the Minister does nothing he lends credence to the observation, "the Corporation is currently beyond any effective control by the government." (The Future of Canada Post Cor-poration: Canada Post Mandate Review 1996).This is a serious accusation indeed.Yours sincerely, Werner Schmidt, MP Official Opposition Critic for Canada Post Delivered the right message Dear Editor, A belated thank you to Linda Shat-tack for a letter which needed to be written and for the professional manner in which she stated her case.If Canada Post would decide once and for all what constitutes a valid address, it would facilitate many lives, at least in this area.For example, two years ago we were obliged to add our post office box numbers to our mailing address, then after a year we were forbidden to use them.We seem still to be in a period of transition, with some mail being delivered and some being returned, yet both hearing the same address.For instance, I had a large brown time-sensitive envelope mailed from a local notary returned with the notation “no such address,” while a bill to the same addressee and to exactly the same address was delivered.Is it any wonder the courier companies are flourishing?Dale Quin Bury -¦TH Ei Monday, November 30, 1998 page 7 Fine words put to the test Officer’s ‘two-cents-worth’ ruined his career By Mike Blkanchfield Southam News Ottawa Gen.Maurice Baril addressed his audience: “I will re-emphasize and demand throughout the army, responsible leadership and its essential components of moral and ethical values.values such as truth, duty and valour along with the moral courage to do what is right rather than what is fashionable.” The speech, on July 17, 1996, was an attempt to recover some of the moral high ground the Canadian military had lost as a result of a barrage of scandals.The words struck Capt.Bruce Poulin deeply - in part because he wrote them but also because he believed in them.That summer, Baril had picked the young captain to be his speechwriter.As he prepared the text, Poulin couldn’t help thinking about something he saw in a Kingston bar earlier that summer.A week before his boss delivered the speech, Poulin wrote to senior military brass alleging that Col.Serge Labbe, commandant of the Staff College at Kingston where Poulin was on a course, had sexually harassed a waitress.Poulin says he hand-delivered the memo to Lt-Gen.Bill Leach.“I was putting pen to paper there and believing what 1 was writing, and believing in the institution wanting to clean up, to make amends,” says Poulin."And within that context, I contributed my little two cents worth.” Prompts investigation Poulin’s complaint sparked an internal military police investigation that eventually exonerated Labbe and Leach.Last month, the Canadian Forces National Investigations Service concluded there was no evidence to support allegations of sexual misconduct against Labbe.It also found insufficient evidence to support any allegation that Leach may have failed to act promptly on the complaint.Since his memo was leaked to the media this past June, Poulin says he has been harassed on the job.Ten minutes after the story broke, he was ordered back from lunch and told not to talk to any reporters on the way.Soon after, he says a whisper campaign started with anonymous leaks to the media have suggesting he is mentally unstable.“When I wrote that, there was defi- nitely a sense of crossing the Rubicon, of not being able to go back,” he says.STRUCK FROM PROGRAM Poulin still works at National Defence Headquarters in Ottawa.He was transferred from his previous post -media liaison officer - to the military’s millennium bug project.He was to deliver a speech about his experience at a conference on military ethics several weeks ago, but he was dropped from the program.His complaint has created a long paper trail.It has sparked a separate investigation on the administrative ethics surrounding his case.Poulin won’t talk about the specific details of his case, but it has spawned Access to Information requests from journalists and other interested parties for his memos and diaries.The truth, Bruce Poulin believes, will eventually emerge.“I’m living under a magnifying glass,” he shrugs.“But when you put it all into context, it’s a small blip on the big screen of life.” The blip, his “two cents worth,” has nonetheless threatened irreparable harm to a promising military career, one characterized by hard work, a devotion to family, a duty to conscience.“Capt.Poulin performs extremely well and shows all the attributes I want from my officers in today's army,” Baril wrote in a July 1996 performance review.Poulin was born in Ottawa in 1962 and grew up in Gatineau before heading off to military college at St-Jean, Que., at 16.He left after one year - “I wasn’t enthralled by the system.Might have been due to my age” - but re-enrolled a year later.“There was also the fact of four generations.” Poulin walks to the staircase of his tidy but cramped four-bedroom house at CFB Rockcliffe, where he lives with his wife Josée and their three children.The staircase is lined with five wooden frames, each holding a photograph and a series of medals.At the bottom, is Bruce.One step up is his father, Jean, who served briefly in the naval reserves before a career in the federal public service.Then comes grandfather Gordon Jackson, an artillery officer and a Second World War RCAF nose gunner.Then, great-grandfather Jackson, who emigrated from Britain in 1912 and joined in the Canadian infantry in the fall of 1914.At the top is great- grandfather Fletcher, a First World War fighter pilot.Poulin’s own military ascent has been swift.He started out in the artillery, graduated to lieutenant, became an air defence instructor at CFB Greenwood in Nova Scotia, went on a six-month tour of duty in Lahr, West Germany, and eventually earned his captain’s stripes in 1985.“When you’re young, you’ve got everything ahead of you.All doors are open.But as you progress, there are other factors,” says Poulin.He first saw Josee Gagnon in a Quebec City disco in 1985.They now have two sons, 11 and nine, and a five-year-old daughter.When the family moved to Kingston in 1988, Poulin took political science and history courses at Queen's University, earning two years worth of credits.He was eventually accepted at the Royal Military College where he completed his bachelors degree, graduating with a scholarship to Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore for two years.Poulin came home with a master’s degree in international relations.In 1994, he became Gen.Romeo Dal-laire’s speechwriter when Dallaire returned from Rwanda after his controversial mission as commander of the United Nations peacekeepers.Baril picked Poulin to write speeches for him in the summer of 1996.The July 17 speech is viewed by many as key factor in Baril being appointed chief of the defence staff later that year.Poulin found it rewarding work.He had the ear of the military’s commander, and could suggest ideas for high-profile speeches that would resonate with lower-ranking soldiers.With so much to lose, would Bruce Poulin look the other way, if he had it to do all over again?“No,” he says.“I saw what I saw and I did what I had to do.I can live with myself.It came down to my training, my family values.” The first person he told about what he saw in the Kingston bar that night was his wife.“He was encouraged to write the memo,” she says.“I'm very proud of him.” For a young family living on a military base, Mrs.Poulin realized there FONDATION OU F O Y I R WALES H O M I FOUNDATION The Wales Home Foundation 1998 Annual Financial Campaign Objective: *150,000 Serving the English community for 77 years.Donations to: The Wales Home Foundation 506 Route 243 North Richmond, Quebec JOB 2H0 Incoma Tax Registration Number 89107 5749 RR0001 Name Address City_________ Postal Code would be repercussions.She just never realized how severe.When she used to take their youngest daughter, Catherine to day care, the other mothers would offer support.“Now they don’t talk to me any more.Maybe it’s because they don’t know what to say.” Hard life The Poulins realize at some point, probably in the next two years when Bruce reaches 20 years of service and qualifies for the maximum benefits, he will likely leave the military once and for all.Bruce says he will miss it.Not Josée.At 35, she has had enough of the moving around.“My dream is to have a house and settle down and see my children grow up with neighbours that they’ll remember.” It is just after 6 p.m., and Bruce Poulin and his oldest son, Jean-Mathieu, are off to the hockey rink.Along with two other men, Poulin coaches his son’s Atom B competitive team.Between them, they try to instill some basic values in the 10- and 11-year-olds: responsibility, discipline, passion, intensity.And fun.“I told the kids I’ve been playing hockey since I was five,” says Poulin.“I won my first trophy when I was 31.” Poulin has to shout for his pre-game pep talk to be heard, but the boys quickly calm down.“No secrets tonight.We’re playing against Russell - a strong team,” he says.“I don't want to complicate things.I want you to come out strong.Just do what you’ve been practicing.” The boys march off, chanting a song where “rink” rhymes with “dinks.” Twelve seconds into the game, a strapping Russell forward screams down the right-wing boards and easily fakes out the goaltender.These kids are all roughly the same age, but the kids from Russell skate as if they’ve already had their growth spurts, and are each trying to impress the hell out of a girl in the stands.Poulin's team scores one goal; Russell scores a whole bunch but the scorekeeper stops counting at seven.On their way back to the locker room, Poulin’s kids are still smiling and hollering.Any number of sports cliches would apply to this game.They’ve been crushed, pummeled, run over by a runaway train.Or to borrow a cliche from the coach's world, Poulin’s team looked like one man trying to stop an army.~l Prov.____________ RECORD page 8 Monday, November 30, 1998 THE i Cüristtiws is t Time for SHurinij Join The Record & CBC Radio for the launching of Pierre-Péladeau food drive / to benefit the ROCK GUERTIN “Paniers de l’Espoir” Christmas basket campaign Drop by with your donation of non-perishable food goods or a financial contribution, and meet some of your favorite media personalities.December 2nd 6:00-9:00 a.m.CBC Radio, 160 Queen St., Lennoxville 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m.The Record, 2850 Delorme St., Sherbrooke 4:00-6:00 p.m.CBC Radio, 160 Queen St., Lennoxville fax *7o4wt4£ifefiex4, to (teed.CBCjffcradi ONE One person, one donation can make a difference!

Turnovers and stalled offence hurt Gaiters By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Bishop’s Gaiters basketball teams ended the first half of the season on a sour note.Both the men’s and women’s teams lost to the University of Toronto Blues in action on Friday in Toronto.SUFFOCATING ZONE DEFENCE The Lady Blues executed a suffocating zone defence, which forced the Gaiter women away from their inside game.The Blues defeated the Gaiters 74-49.In men’s play, the U of T rallied from an early deficit to edge the CIAU champion Gaiters 72-69.WOMEN’S CONTEST In the women’s contest, the Gaiters were forced to rely on their outside shooting, but could connect on only 29 of their shots, including just two of 15 from the three-point line.Bishop’s trailed by four at the half and stayed within striking distance of the home team for the first eight minutes of the second half.The Ski School where Best week end program at the best price in the Province of Quebec tiled adu^ Wlllimited^ j

récréotouristique ^ Vflontjoye But Toronto patiently worn down the Gaiter attack and outscored Bishop’s 37-16 over the last 12 minutes of the game.“Toronto really packed in the zone against us, preventing us from getting the ball inside to our posts,” head coach Rod Gilpin said.TOOK QUALITY SHOTS “Although our shooting percentage was low, we got good looks at the basket and took quality shots.On at least five occasions the ball would go in the basket and pop right out.There were times during the game that we played great.We broke their pressure for easy baskets in the beginning of the game and executed our offense well.But we missed some easy shots and didn’t play smart defense.” Karen Bottineau was an one-woman wrecking crew for Toronto as she led all scorers with 18 points, pulled down 10 rebounds, and dished out four assists.Catherine Charbonneau came off the bench to spark an anemic Gaiters attack with 15 points and a game-high 12 rebounds.Guards Leanne Clark, with 11, and Cynthia Hitchcock, with 10, were the only other Gaiters to hit double figures.With the loss the Gaiters now break for exams and Christmas with a 2-3 record.Men’s contest The men’s team fell victim to a hungry Blues squad that played better as the game progressed.The Gaiters jumped to an early 11-point lead in the first half but uncharacteristic sloppy play allowed the Blues to get back in the game.Toronto trailed by just three at the half, and then conducted a shooting clinic in the second half as they connected on 59 per cent of their shots en route to their three-point victory.confidence “The key to the game was our ability to stay close in the first half,” said Blues head coach Ken Olynyk.“Bishop’s didn’t play particularly well in the first half as the game continued we were able to develop some confidence.We had an extremely good second half.” As expected the Blues tandem of Reid Beckett and Vidak Curie paced the Toronto victory.Beckett led all scorers with 23 points while Curie contributed 13 points and seven rebounds to the Blues cause.“We didn't expect to beat Bishop’s this weekend, but the opportunity presented itself and we took advantage of it,” Olynyk added.Gaiter Patrice Lemieux scored 17 points in a losing effort.Joel Sherbino and Sherbrooke’s Patrice Lemieux each scored 17 for Bishop’s while centre Rob Burns hit for 13 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.The Gaiters, normally one of the better passing teams in the country, hurt themselves by committing 27 turnovers.“This was one of those games that we could have won, but we certainly didn’t deserve to win,” Bishop’s head coach Eddie Pomykala said after the loss.Bishop’s, now 3-2 in league play, resumes action January 1,1999 at The Rod Shoveller Tournament in Halifax.Bishop’s head coach Eddy Pomykala wus disappointed with Friday's loss in Toronto. Monday, November 30, 1998 page 13 SPORTS Champlain men continue their slide in hoops play Cougar defence continues to disappoint By Mike Hickey Special to The Record The Champlain Cougars losing streak reached six this past weekend despite improved play from Don Caldwell’s squad.On Friday, the Cougars held the lead for most of the game against Montmorency Nomads but came up short, losing to the nationally-ranked squad, 96-88 at the Mitchell Gymnasium.On Saturday they traveled to Montreal where they were beaten by the John Abbott Islanders 103-77.The Cougars are now 1-5 in league play.They wrap up the first half of the season on Friday at home against the Dawson Blues.Champlain built a seven-point lead against the Nomads early in the second half behind the inspired play of lan Lee and David Piers.Montmorency rallied behind the play of Charles Fortier and all-Canadian Phillipe Langlois to take the win.The veteran pair sparked a 15-5 run in the final minutes of the game that turned a 83-81 Cougar advantage into a 96-88 victory for the visitors.Fortier was the game’s high scorer with 32 points while Langlois had 18 points and 11 assists.Lee scored a career high 27 points and Piers chipped in with 20 and Shaun Doherty had 13.Champlain was unable to maintain the same level of intensity the following afternoon as the Islanders won the shootout with a strong second half, outscoring the Cougars 33-8 in the game’s last 10 minutes.“It is hard for me to understand how we can play so well Friday night and then come into Montreal and lose by 25 to John Abbott,” said Cougar head coach Don Caldwell.“Our offensive game is fine.It is our inability to stop penetration and keep the other team off the scoreboard that is hurting us right now.” “It is our inability to .keep the other team off the score-board that is hurting us right now,” - head coach Don Caldwell.Showing progress CATHY GIBSON The Champlain women’s team was defeated 71A2 Friday by the first-place Trois-Rivières Diablos.Despite the score, the game marked the Cougars best performance of the season.They trailed the Diablos 36-23 at half-time and cut the margin to nine points five minutes into the second half.But as the Cougars appeared to make a game of it, the Diablos ran up 11 straight points and coasted to their fourth-straight league win.Andre-Anne Mailhot of Sherbrooke and Ascot's

indifference Is vaster than All who wallow in it Each fighting each Not to sink The risen tide Of complete and total Thought control Is confronted by millions Who want to change The way things are But don’t know how So we scurry to the sea And sink and swim The Lord yet calls Come with me and Ride the wind What’s that you say When a leaf is taken By the wind from a tree The wind makes it spiral And gloat gently or afar I am that wind Said the Lord I gather in intensity Or gad about listlessly As I will You need no boots To travel or land Your mind and heart And spirit are At the wind’s command But in the sea There’s security think we For many yet know not The evil around that’s Come to be There is still time The Lord says My servants even now Delay the risen tide Come and ride the wind Says

Midwest," whose husband moved out when she wasn't home.He left a note saying he would call her.Within a few days, she learned he had an apartment and a new phone North 11 30 98 A Q ,J 10 6 5 ¥ 4 2 ?3

:/ a Pa» 2 NT 3 ?A Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: a A Monday, Nov.30, 1998 What was that again?By Phillip Alder The general level of bridge expertise has risen steadily over the last 30 years.An indication of this is in “Easier Done Than Said” (Master Point Press) by Prakash K.Paranjape.The book contains 42 deals featuring excellent defensive and declarer plays, which are mostly taken from Indian tournaments.You may test yourself first, but unless you are already an expert, don’t expect to get many right.However, from reading the lengthy, lucid analyses, you will improve your game.The example on the back cover is a good gauge of the book.You can look only at the North-South hands or at the full deal.How can South make five clubs?West leads the spade ace.South's two-spade overcall showed at least 5-5 in hearts and a minor.And, yes, three no-trump has nine top tricks.But that is easier said than bid.Are you still struggling to find a route to 11 tricks?If so, I’m not surprised.The answer is to swap a ruff that will suffer an overruff (in hearts) for one that will not (in diamonds).After trumping the spade ace, the declarer, who’s referred to only as Rege, immediately played three rounds of hearts, discarding a diamond from the dummy on the third round.West returned the diamond king.Rege won with the ace and played another heart, discarding dummy’s last diamond loser in the dummy, drew trumps, and cashed the established heart for his 11th trick.The book is available from the publisher at 22 Lower Village Gate, Toronto, Ontario, M5P 31.7, Canada.It costs $14.95 or C$17.95 postpaid.number.She wanted to know if she should call him and find out what he had in mind.Ann, when a husband moves out without telling his wife and has an apartment and phone number already set up, she should accept the fact that he isn’t coming back.Worse yet, the rotten sneak probably has another woman waiting in the wings.You should have told "Confused" to go immediately to her bank and take out 50 percent of her checking and savings accounts.She should also cancel all joint credit cards or have them put in her name.She should check out any retirement or pension plans, car titles and property assessments.This woman needs to know what her assets and liabilities are and figure out an equitable split.She should also see a lawyer promptly and be prepared for the worst because that's what she will probably get.I have seen too many wives left with no cash and all their joint credit cards maxed out while they are left responsible for the payments.This woman needs to protect her interests, or she will find herself working two jobs, wondering what happened.- The Voice of Experi- ence in Tupelo, Miss.Dear Voice in Tupelo: You have given the woman excellent advice.And now, I would like to add a comment for any woman who suddenly discovers her husband has set up housekeeping elsewhere.Dear woman, you have lost nothing of value.Good riddance.The man is a scoundrel.You are better off without him.Dear Ann Landers: Please tell me if my feelings are justified or if I am just a poor loser.I am confused and angry and need your sage advice.My in-laws are very close-knit, and my mother-in-law has never taken kindly to me.I've been very polite and considerate to her, but she has always favored her other daughter-in-law, "Molly," and treats me like an intruder.Whenever there is a family gathering, I am always the one sitting by myself.It's obvious that my in-laws adore Molly and merely tolerate me.Here's the problem.Molly gave birth to her first child a few months ago, and the whole family went totally crazy.My in-laws were in the delivery room, and my husband watched her first attempts to breast-feed.They are all so excited about that child, I've heard nothing but baby stories ever since she was born.I am now four months pregnant, and nobody seems to care.Even my husband isn't as excited about my pregnancy as he was about his sister-in-law's.Molly insisted on selecting my obstetrician and wants to come with me to all my prebirth visits.While I like the doctor, I resent that he is also Molly's obstetrician and that I wasn't given much choice in his selection.And I certainly don't want her accompanying me to his office.Am I wrong to feel slighted?I am so bitter about this, I don't know what to do.To top it off, Molly is trying to get pregnant again, which means she will once more have center stage.I need some advice on how to deal with this.-Depressed Out East Dear Depressed: Insist that your husband accompany you to your next visit to the obstetrician.Phone the doc in advance, and tell him of your emotional turmoil.I suspect your husband has no idea what his indifference is doing to you.Your doctor can be your most valuable ally.Ask for his help.Gem of the Day (Credit Constant Reader in Eau Claire, Wis.): I knew I needed glasses the day I tried to dial the pencil sharpener.Ann Landers St.Paul’s Guild and
