studies that conclude they don’t have historic claims to territory in eastern Quebec.Ernest Ottawa, president of the Attikamek Montagnais, said Thursday that his people don’t have to prove the legiti- macy of their claims to anyone.He rapped Guy Chevrette, Quebec’s minister for aboriginal affairs, for suggesting that while the studies and land claim negotiations aren’t linked, they may reduce the band’s appetite for land.“These insulting statements are like saying the Holocaust never occurred,” Ottawa told a news conference.“It’s unacceptable that that so-called scientific studies conducted by a government historian .dare deny our existence and that they receive the endorsement of a cabinet minister.” In negotiations with Quebec and the federal government, the Attikamek are asking for 1.2 million square kilometres of territory.Quebec has offered 4,000 square kilometres and $342 million.The two studies which received wide attention earlier this month concluded that the Attikamek Montagnais disappeared some 300 years ago and were replaced by another First Nation, the Têtes de Boule, who immigrated to Quebec from northern Ontario to northen Quebec.The historians argued that the Têtes de Boule kept that name until 1973 when negotiations began on the James Bay Agreement with the Cree in northern Quebec.The band then took the name Attikamek.m&m ivtmiv -n v* 'A lot depends on

business to leave the province.Bouchard said he wants to improve the business climate in the province as well as travel outside Quebec to reassure business people spooked by last fall’s close sovereignty referendum.By John Ward KLJUC, Bosnia-Herzegovina (CP) — Every Canadian soldier in the former Yugoslavia carries a rifle or pistol and a wallet-size leaflet saying when they can be used.From public affairs officer to truck driver, soldiers carry weapons everywhere, even to lunch.But some officers say their soldiers are so spooked by the Somalia affair and the fear of being second-guessed by armchair critics back home that they might not use their weapons even in dire circumstances.Even soldiers on the front line, patrolling a shaky peace or manning roadblocks near this makeshift base in northwestern Bosnia have doubts.“These guys are telling me, Tf I have to shoot, 111 shoot to miss,’ ” said one young officer who asked not to be identified.“They say ‘We’ll be

discussion on Radio-Canada TV.“(But) a lot depends on us.If we stop saying things are going badly .If we stop saying things are uncertain we will settle a lot of things.“What we have to say above all is that we are able to do business together regardless of our political opinions.” During the broadcast, Bouchard was questioned by invited guests about this week’s three-day economic conference where leading Quebecers grappled with the province’s high deficit and unemployment.Bouchard told top corporate executives at the conference that their worries about the separation debate hurting the economy were “more psychological than real.” But on Thursday, businessman Yvon Leveillé told Bouchard his high-tech company is considering expanding into another province rather than in Quebec to protect itself in the event of sovereignty.“How will we succeed in creating new jobs when some of us are forced to go outside Quebec to protect the survival of jobs that exist today?” Leveillé asked.Bouchard, who later said he’s heard about other businesses leaving the province for political reasons, urged federalists and separatists to think positively and work together.And he said he wants to travel to the rest of Canada to get out the message that Quebec is open for business.See BOUCHARD Page 2 Did aliens WASHINGTON (AP) — The man who sought to persuade the world there is a human-like face peering

OTTAWA (CP) — On a spring day in 1992, Roger Boi-vin and two other men were in a propane-powered truck carrying fuel tanks and ammunition when it was struck by another vehicle and burst into flames near Gogama, Ont.Despite his ipjuries, Boivin escaped through a broken back window and tried to extinguish flames at the back of truck which was loaded with hunting and fishing supplies.Faced with an imminent propane explosion, Boivin tried unsuccessfully to jimmy the truck doors open with a crowbar.When that failed, he pulled his companions out through a side window shortly before the truck exploded.Boivin, of Sudbury, Ont., is one of 11 people named Thursday by Gov.Gen.Roméo LeBlanc to receive medals of bravery.He will be awarded the second highest citation, the Star of Courage, in a ceremony at a later date.Other recipients of bravery awards are Stanley Houle, 8, and Earl Okemow, 11, of Peerless Lake, Alta.In February 1995 they twice entered a burning house to save a five-year-old boy and a baby girl.Houle had to kick open a fiery front door so they could escape.The boys will receive the Medal of Bravery, the third highest award, presented “for acts of bravery in hazardous circumstances.” Twin sisters Tara and Tammy Benn, 14, of Woodville, Ont., were each awarded a Medal of Bravery after they saved a male friend from being stabbed by a youth gang.“Today, we honor 11 women, men and children for bravery,” LeBlanc said in a statement.“Their courage demonstrates the determination of the human spirit to preserve life.” Also awarded Medals of Bravery were: • Annell Bings of Aachen, Germany, who in July 1994 saved two women from drowning after the car in which she and three friends were travelling slid into the Birken-heard River near Mount Currie, B.C.Bings was unable to rescue the third woman.• Scott Brown of Arnprior, Ont., who in June 1993 searched through a burning house for children he believed to be trapped inside.The house was empty.• Warrant Officer Darryl Crowell of Denwood, Alta., who bravery shielded a comrade when a grenade exploded during a live-fire grenade practice at Camp Pendleton, Calif.• Capt.Wayne Desjardins of Timmins, Ont., who calmed a distraught man who had fired his revolver into the ceiling of the Timmins Armory in March 1994.• Sgt.Gregory Janes of Peta-wawa, Ont., who broke up a knife fight between two men in the hallway outside his Ottawa apartment last April.• Peter Karo of Nanaimo, B.C., who saved a man whose van fell off the loading ramp at a ferry terminal in August 1992.BOUCHARD: Continued from page one “We can talk,” Bouchard said.“I would tell them that they have nothing to fear from a Quebec community which would like to be more and more partner with them as far as the economy

Quebec’s socio-economic summit by also announcing the government will adopt a balanced budget law to make sure it eliminates its $3.9 billion deficit by the new target date of the year 2000.“The

deficit.While Wall Street may not appreciate Quebec’s new timetable, Bouchard probably won some political capital towards selling Quebecers on the need for belt tightening.The PQ is expected to deliver a tough budget this spring and now Bouchard can sell it to Quebecers by saying business, labor and community leaders attending the conference backed it.The conference, one of Bouchard’s first big tests as premier, started with business calling for a balanced budget in two years and labor arguing MOON:- Continued from page one and scientists and a bunch of fuzzy photographs to a news conference to support his contention.He spoke of something called “hyperdimensional dynamics” at work on Mars, on the moon and in evidence at the ancient Stonehenge site in Britain.Hoagland said recent reviews of pictures taken on the lunar surface by the astronauts of the Apollos 12 and Apolollo 14 missions showed some of the structures.“It’s not true,” said Alan Bean of Apollo 12.“No one, certainly not me and there was no hurry to balance the books.Bouchard also faced a barrage of federalist business people insisting that another pending sovereignty referendum is hurting Quebec’s economy by scaring off investors.By the summit’s end, Bombardier Inc.’s president Laurent Beaudoin — a staunch federalist — was praising Bouchard.“It’s the first time I’ve seen people pull together to give the government a mandate to achieve their cuts,” he said, adding he thought that Bouchard was “very determined” to reduce the deficit.Earlier Wednesday, Bouchard championed a favorite issue of transportation manufacturer Bombardier by urging Pete Conrad, who I was with the whole time, saw anything that suggested ancient civilizations.” And it wasn’t because they weren’t looking.Said Bean: “We wanted to see those things.We wanted to find something like that because it would be so wonderful to find it.” Hoagland described the objects he said could be seen from official NASA photographs, most taken by Apollo astronauts, variously as “a Grecian Temple,” looping cables, a large blob of glass and a Ottawa to help fund a highspeed train between Quebec City and Windsor.Bouchard acknowledged that by postponing the deficit elimination, there is a risk the influential credit rating agencies in New York will downgrade the province, making it more expensive for Quebec to borrow money.Bouchard said he intends to try and sell Moody’s and Standard and Poors on the consensus and the balanced budget law.But both business and labor acknowledged the consensus is fragile.“If there is a recession or an (economic) disaster we will have a problem,” said Clement Godbout, head of the Quebec Federation of Labor.2.4-kilometre-high formation he called a “shard.” To the unschooled observer, the objects looked like magnified blobs of dirt on the window through which the photos were taken.Hoagland has made such claims for years.He received wide publicity in 1988 by suggesting a two-kilometre-wide rock, which appeared to be carved into a human or ape-like face, was part of a city on Mars.NASA spokesman Welch said the agency had not investigated the claims.“It seems to us kind of a waste of time,” he said.—_________ ttecam a division of Groupe Quebecor Inc.2850 Delorme, Sherbrooke, Que.J1K 1A1 819-569-9511 819-569-9525 Fax: 819-569-3945 Member ABC.CARD.CDNA, NMB, QCNA Randy

area will begin to affect anglophones in the next two weeks when Sherbrooke Hospital is merged with Youville Hospital to create the new Sherbrooke University Geriatrics Institute.Here is the second of two articles on how the changes will affect anglophones and how and where they will get what services in the future.By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — Starting April f, Sherbrooke Hospital will wind up its activities as a general hospital and be merged into Youville Hospital to create the new Sherbrooke University Geriatrics Institute.For anglophones and residents of the north ward, that means Sherbrooke Hospital will no longer be there for their emergency and acute care needs.Anglophones seeking short- Hospital, which will soon be term hospital care will have to turn to the region’s three other general hospitals, which mer ged last year to become the Centre Universitaire de Santé de l’Estrie.Despite the loss of an institution which has served the English community for more than 100 years, Youville director Daniel Bergeron said anglophones will gain more and better services through the reorganization of health care services in the region.Next month, Bergeron will become the head of the new geriatrics institute which will dispense a wide range of medium- and- long-term care services, all of which will be accessible to anglophones in their own language.He said the institute, which already groups the largest number of specialists in the geriatrics field in the province, will be unique in Quebec.Within the new institute, there will be some 144 longterm care beds at Sherbrooke EH mün Bilingual signs coming soon?known as the Argyll pavilion of the Geriatrics Institute.Administrators are projecting to increase that to 184 beds after a construction project which will take place in the next 18 to 20 months.NEW CLINICS The Argyll site will be the centre of active geriatrics with 40 beds designated for elderly acute care, and will also house specialized external clinics in the former emergency wing dealing with health problems like neurology, urology/ incontinence and palliative care for the elderly.The Youville site will have 292 long-term beds and will specialize in internal and external rehabilitation services including physical therapy and occupational therapy.It will also continue to house a day hospital for the victims of strokes and other brain injuries as well as its geriatric research centre.Both sites will have teaching activities along with medical students from the University of Sherbrooke, research activities, and a new expertise centre will be set up in the Norton Pavilion of the Argyll site.The goal of the new centre, which will be headed by Sherbrooke Hospital nursing director Krystina Kouri, will be to find and produce new expertise and share it with other institutions.ANGLO SUPPORT The former Sherbrooke Hospital site will also be home to a co-ordination and support program for access to health and social services for the English-speaking population of the Townships.The centre, which started last July under the lea-dership of nurse Heather Bowman, will also take care of translating health care plans and documents for hospitals in the region, Bergeron said.Also in the works for the emergency room, which closed its doors last week, is a CLSC service point which will be a bridge for English-speaking patients leaving acute care hospitals and receiving home care services.A final decision by the regional health board on that is still pending.Bergeron said that despite growing demands from the community, chances of a minor emergency ward being reopened at the site are between slim and none.‘You can’t have an emergency ward without anesthicists and surgeons and specialists such as cardiologists and internists,” he said.“An emergency wing needs a complete medical set up.” “Either you do it all dressed, or not at all,” he said, adding that the decision to close the emergency wing was taken by the regional health board, not the hospital’s administration.Bergeron added that the goal behind the current restructuring was to ensure that specialists were regrouped in hospitals and that general practicioners deal with minor emergencies in private clinics.MUST MOURN LOSS He also added he understands that anglophones must mourn the loss of an important institution which provided excellent care for years.“It’s normal for this to be tough to accept and that it’s sad,” he said, but he added that building a geriatric centre which will meet many of the needs of an aging population must be seen as a positive thing.“They’ll be winning,” he said, adding that anglophones will have access to a greater range of services at the Geriatrics Institute and the CUSE.Youville Hospital was already designated a bilingual institution in the regional access plan which guarantees anglophones services in their own language.In fact, about 10 per cent of patients at Youville are English-speaking.However, Bergeron said the merger will consolidate and improve services for the anglophone population which is aging nearly twice as fast as the regional francophone population.And, the Geriatrics Institute will survive as an English institution.Bergeron said Quebec’s French-language charter desi- Daniel Bergeron.Merger will mean gains for the anglophone community.gnated Sherbrooke Hospital as an English institution confe-ring upon it four specific rights.They are the right to have a bilingual name; the right to post bilingual signs; the right to correspond with other hospitals in English; and the right for health care professionals such as doctors to ask for consultations with other professionals in English and to receive opinions in English.Bergeron said the unified board of both hospitals decided to maintain those four acquired privileges in the new geriatrics centre.Bergeron also said that an effort will be made to regroup most anglophones at the Sherbrooke Hospital site, but the hospital will also consider the clinical needs of patients in deciding on where they can best be served.Bergeron is offended by the description of the new geria- trics institute as “an old folks home”.While senior’s homes are often seen as repositiories for people waiting to die, Bergeron said the goal of the institute is to boost people, to make them better.“It is the exact antithesis of an old folks home,” he said.Bergeron admits the merger of different mentalities and attitudes presents a challenge.He points out that as well as being a linguistic merger, it is also a merger of different vocations between an acute and long-term care hospital as well as the joining of a small and a medium-sized administration.Despite the challenges of the next few weeks and months, Bergeron said he believes they’re headed towards a success.“I’m convinced that both the French and English communities will emerge winners.” Correction: Hospital vigil next Thursday SHERBROOKE — News in Thursday’s Record of a candlelight vigil to be held at Sherbrooke Hospital was not greatly exaggerated, it was just one week early.But that didn’t stop some 40 or 50 people from across the Townships, and a local television station, from showing up for an impromptu dress rehearsal Thursday night.Supporters of the Sherbrooke Hospital have been invited to come to the hospital site at 7:30 p.m.on Thursday March 28, not last night as was mistakenly reported in the paper.The Record apologizes to organizers and to anyone who made the trek to Sherbrooke Hospital unnecessarily, and hopes there’s better weather for next Thursday when the vigil will officially take place.mmsas nit in fRieins! 4—The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996 Townships Where will all the milk quota go?Townships dairy farmers ponder their future Gerald Routhier: If you have some confidence in the future, you will be able to continue living and working as you have, and may even improve your standard of living record photo: perry beaton 1 v 1 y : ty&T m I i m m.i t- i.>' By Maurice Crossfield SAINT-FRANCOIS XAVIER DE BROMPTON — Nearly 200 dairy fanners from across the region gathered in this town Thursday to look at the changing face of milk production.Gerald Routhier, regional president of the provincial farmers union, said dairy farmers must find ways to avoid feeling the pinch as government subsidies decline and international competition increases.In his tenure as president of the Union des producteurs agricole (UPA), Routhier said, he has met with transportation experts, leaders in agricultural technology, young people and political leaders to keep up to date on all the latest developments.He said farmers must keep up with the times if they are to protect their way of life.Routhier praised the benefits of the quota system, which he said has allowed dairy farmers a reasonable and steady income, unlike many other sectors of the agriculture industry.Other sectors, he said, can be quite volatile depending on market conditions.According to Routhier, phasing out of the federal government dairy subsidy over the next five years will cost the average farmer about $5000 annually.That loss will most probably end up being passed on to the consumer.“The minister promised a long term plan which offered the possibility of making it up on the market,” he said, But that option isn’t one farmers prefer because of the prospect of cheaper imported milk beating out the local product.The UPA is also looking at the possibilities of the international market.But higher prices here at home combined with cheaper milk in the U.S.means breaking into the American market will be difficult.But rather than being concerned with the antiprotectionist policies in the General Agreement on Tarrifs and Trade (GATT), Routhier said the international trade deal protects Canadian farmers by preventing other countries from dumping heavily subsidized dairy products on the Cana- dian market.“I think you will continue to have a price which will cover production costs with the same standard of living as other members of society,” he said.“If you have some confidence in the future, you will be able to continue living and working as you have, and may even improve your standard of living.” One idea adopted at the daylong meeting was to set aside a percentage of milk quota to be devoted to the international market.Though profits on this portion of a farmers’ quota might be much lower, depending on international prices, it would give Quebec farmers an introduction to the international market, as well as supplying dairy product manufacturers with a stable supply from Canada.“A guarantee for the others is vital,” said Routhier, because foreign manufacturers prefer to know they have a stable supply system to work with.Routhier assured the membership of the farm union that the leadership will not lose sight of what’s important for farmers.“We appreciate that we all have the same preoccupations and desires to continue to produce a quality product in a system that we control.” Eoreign students on exchange,: They’re at Bishop’s from around the world By Jeremy Keyes Canada.LENNOXVILLE — Bishop’s And now the university is University attracts a diverse becoming a magnet for interna-student body from across tional exchange students.Véronique Outrebon, Timothy Powell, Magali Pierard and Hye Lin Park at Bishop’s: Good resumes, better memories.V mm - ¦ - yjlh : ;¦ - |*vtT«w H Hit Ml ¦ .* According to Diane Mills, who oversees the exchange program, Bishop’s is hosting about 30 exchange students this year, but is swamped by applicants from abroad who want to study here next fall.Mills is expecting the exchange student total to almost double for 1996-97.“I think they like the small, intimate atmoshphere that a place like this offers,” she said in an interview.“A lot of this increased attention is due to bilateral agreements that we’ve worked out with universities around the world.” “There are a total of 365 schools that we’re affiliated with and that exchange sru-dents can come from.We can have people from almost anywhere.” In fact, the demand for exchange applicants for next year means that Bishop’s will be able to be very selective § about the students it accepts.< GREAT ADDITION s Mills points out that an | exchange visit is a great addi-g tion to any student’s resumé c and helps bring students worl-ç dwide to Lennoxville.a It is the curriculum-vitae-S enhancing motive that brought o many exchange students at “ Bishop’s here for this academic year.Timothy Powell, from San Luis Obispo, California, said he is aiming for a career in medicine and the year spent studying in Lennoxville is something he hopes will stand out on his medical school application.“Not too many science students go on exchanges,” he said.“In medicine you have to be able to face new environments and interact with different people and cultures.” “That’s what this exchange is doing for me.” Véronique Outrebon, from the town of Lille in northern France, agreed that coming on an exchange is a great resumé booster.However the 20-year old business student says coming to school in Canada required a big adjustment.“There’s so much to read,” she said.“In France, we just go to class and take notes and that’s it but here there is just so much more.” Outrebon had one big advantage at Bishop’s that most exchange students don’t — a friend, Magali Pierard, from school back home.Pierard says she and Outrebon are loving life in the Eastern Townships and at Bishop’s, and they’re also doing some traveling.They’ve been sight-seeing through much of central Canada and gaining an appreciation of Canadian culture.“When we came here we didn’t know anything about Canada,” she remarked.“Now, we’ve become really involved in the way of life.” MISS OUR FRIENDS “We love it here and we’ve made lots of friends who we’re going to miss a lot when we go back home.” Pierard says the whole Bishop’s experience — its small size and friendliness — offers exchange students a great way to intereact.She said exchange friends at McGill “kept to themselves” because of Montreal’s intimidating size.South Korea’s Hye Lin Park says she was drawn to Bishop’s to enhance her English and the year has been a success.“I came here to study English and while it hasn’t been easy all the time, it’s been a very helpful year,” she said.“It is also a totally different cultural experience from life back home.” But Park’s year has also been marred by tragedy.In October, a close friend was killed in New York City in a freak traffic accident.She said the support Bishop’s offered helped her through the ordeal.But most of her memories will be good."When I leave here I’m going to miss it a lot.I’ll have a lot of friends in Canada to write letters to.” The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996—5 Townships ‘Babe’ is a pig, the star of a film For stress relief, change of pace, relaxation In the past I always associated the word ‘Babe’ with Babe Ruth, the famous baseball star, or with a sweet nothing whispered into someone’s ear.Once upon a time, there was a perfume fragrance called ‘Babe’.Well, move over guys and gals, the movie ‘Babe’ has given the word a whole new connotation.‘Babe’ is a pig, the star of the film by the same name.My family and I saw its Eastern Townships debut at Bishop’s in late January.The movie is not only entertaining, it’s also a story that stays with you.This is not your run-of-the-mill fast-action suspense film.It’s a meant-for-the-family allegory, with superb photography.There are scenes reminiscent of life in the Eastern Townships — rolling Susan C.Mastine k l4 hills, a county fair, and the gift of a newfangled invention — the fax machine.The tale unfolds in the beautiful Australian country- side, with picturesque, thatched-roof buildings.The cast of characters is mainly composed of squeaky-clean, talking farm animals — the leading ‘actor’, Babe, main characters Rex and Fly (border collies), plus Maud (a ewe), Ferdinand (a duck) and a host of other animals.Two charming folksy human characters, the Hoggetts, are strong supporting actors.With humor, simplicity and charm, the story leads the viewer through situations that demonstrate loyalty (Fly and Mr.Hoggett to Babe), discrimination (versus Babe as he learns to work with the sheep), jealousy (Rex of Babe), openness to differences (Fly and Mr.Hoggett to a pig taking on the role of a sheep dog), resistance to change (a fax machi- ne, modernized farming methods), innovative approaches (Babe’s method of herding sheep, and Hoggett’s entry of Babe in the championship), self-acceptance (Ferdinand taking on the role of the rooster, so he will be seen as useful, thereby avoiding becoming duck à l’orange).The storyline is much more realistic when it appears on the screen than I’m making it sound.I have no credentials as a movie critic, but indulge me, please?I’d give ‘Babe’ a rating of 9 out of 10.Here’s why: there are beautiful scenes to look back on, humorous and interesting scenarios, potential springboards for parent-child discussions and associations with real-life experiences.The film is good for stress relief, change of pace, relaxation.It’s also down-to-earth and non-violent.Don't take my word for it: ‘Babe’ won the Golden Globe award for best comedy or musical and it has been nominated for Academy Awards in the categories of best supporting actor — no, it’s not one of the animals — and director.The Golden Globe award took a lot of people by surprise, perhaps the same will happen at the Academy Awards.Stranger things have happened.Catch ‘Babe’ if you can.P.S.I couldn’t help wondering how sheepdog breeders, such as the McKinvens of North Hatley, might react to the movie, especially to the concept of a pig, rather than a dog, working with a flock of sheep! Behind the news PCBs soon heading south?U.S.opens doors to Canadian toxic waste WASHINGTON (AP) — Thousands of tonnes of highly toxic PCB compounds may be shipped to the United States from Canada, after the U.S.Environmental Protection Agency reversed a 16-year-old ban on the imports.The policy shift, primarily expected to affect PCBs in Canada and to a lesser extent Mexico, is likely to boost the U.S.waste-disposal industry, which has complained it is running out of domestically produced PCBs to destroy.EPA officials said Thursday the import ban is no longer necessary because the industry has enough incinerator capacity to safely handle the PCB waste.The agency said in its final regulation PCB imports “will not present an unreasonable risk of injury to health or the environment.” Burning the chemical is safer, the EPA said, than allowing it to remain in electrical transformers and other equipment in Canada and elsewhere, eventually to seep into the environment.There is mounting evidence, said EPA spokeswoman Loretta Ucelli, that some PCBs stored in neighboring countries end up being wafted by air across the border and deposited on U.S.soil, “where they threaten the environment and public health.” Some environmentalists met the resumption of PCB imports with disbelief.“The latest thing this country needs is more toxic waste,” said A1 Meyerhoff of the Natural

under way More recruit hazing rumored at Gagetown base By Judy Monchuk CFB GAGETOWN, N.B.(CP) — Military officials trying to downplay a weekend hazing prank appeared caught with their pants down Thursday by rumors two soldiers are facing court martial for their part in earlier unsanctioned initiations at the same base.The weekend incident at Canadian Forces Base Gagetown in New Brunswick has left a group of rookie soldiers from Quebec under military investigation.Meantime, “we’re waiting for a release to be cleared (by lawyers),” base spokesman Capt.Andrew Pope said late Thursday of the earlier incidents.Pope has referred to Sunday’s incident in the barracks as minor: “The Airborne would be like the iceberg that hit the Titanic.This is more like ice cubes in your glass of water.” Reports have indicated two soldiers dropped their pants and positioned their buttocks over another man’s face.‘There was no physical touching, no abuse, no defecation, nothing like that,” said Lt.-Col.John McEachern, commanding officer of the 24-man unit that had just completed tank training.McEachern would not comment on specifics.But he said three soldiers were involved.Thirteen others watched.The alleged victim, described as a willing participant, was told he would have to undergo an initiation because he was not an original part of the group which took their basic training in St-Jean, Que., McEachern said.CFB Gagetown is the coun- try’s largest army training facility, sprawling over 1,100 square kilometres.More than 20,000 soldiers go through Gagetown each year for some form of upgrading.“Dedicated to training world-class soldiers” says a huge sign above the entrance.McEachern said it was made “crystal clear” to the soldiers when they began their tank course three months ago that the military has “zero tolerance” for any hazing.Canadians were outraged last year when videos were released showing initiation rituals by the Airborne regiment that eventually led to the disbandment of the elite unit.One depicted drunken soldiers eating human vomit and feces in a hazing ritual.Another shows soldiers on a UN mission to Somalia threatening violence against the people they were supposed to be helping and making racial slurs.McEachern said Thursday he has never had any involvement with initiation rituals in 23 years with the military.“This is the first time I’ve come across one.” SUPPORT YOUR NEWSPAPER Editorial 6—The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996 Pitchman Pope coming soon to a TV near you It may appear to be a really great comic sketch for the CBC parody show This Hour Has 22 Minutes, but don’t touch that dial, the man walking though a Canadian forest reciting the rosary in the commercial really is Pope John Paul.After Bruce Jenner, Anthony Robbins and Jo Jo, John Paul will be appearing soon in a series of radio and television commercials as the pitchman for a new Vatican promotional product.Entitled John Paul II — the Pope of the Rosary, the recording is being pitched by the Pope himself under the catchy slogan “I enter all homes to enter all hearts”.The pricey papal package contains a rosary, a photograph of the Pope and two CDs or audio cassettes in which the pontiff recites the rosary in Latin.It also includes the Pontiff pontificating in Italian and music by the Vatican Radio choir — all for the reasonable price of about $78 Cdn — some of which will be used to support various Catholic missions.The pontiffs first audio release, which will kick off on Vatican Radio and Italian radio stations, was presented by Roman Catholic officials and business associates at Vatican Radio on Thursday.It will be released on “qualified television channels” during Holy Week, the week before Easter.It appears the Pope, who leads one of the richest churches in the world, felt he could no longer compete with television evangelists.Next we’ll be channel-surfing Sunday morning to see Pope John Paul competing against Jerry Falwell, Jimmy Swaggart, Pat Robertson and, God forbid!, Rush Limbaugh.If the Catholic church is seeking to move into the 21st century, perhaps rather than turning to modem technology it should turn to modem thought.Still in the dark ages when it comes to many issues — especially its recognition of the role of women in the church — and already criticized for its wealth and excesses, the Catholic Church has taken one step in the wrong direction.It’s no wonder the faithful are leaving the Church in droves.RITA LEGAULT Today in History By The Canadian Press The United States Coast Guard sank a Canadian rum-runner in the Gulf of Mexico 67 years ago today — in 1929.One crewman on the ship died.Prohibition was in force in the United States at the time.The manufacture of liquor was legal in Canada and the federal government took the position that it could not forbid its export.The sunken ship, I’m Alone, had been based in Lunenburg, N.S.coukY mm w *mr Townshippers’ has been working very hard To The Editor: We read in The Record articles of March 15 and 18.Mr.Teasda-le’s comments about Townshippers’ Association with regard to the Sherbrooke Hospital.Mr.Teasdale was not aware of all that Townshippers’ has done.The fact is that the Sherbrooke Hospital was slated to be closed but due to the considerable efforts of Townshippers’ Association in mobilizing the community and pressuring the decision makers, the hospital has remained open.Although regrettable, the mission has been changed.The fact is that Townshippers’ Association has been meeting with health officials to ensure improved service in English to English-language patients at the existing locations of the Centre universitaire de santé de l’Estrie (CUSE).The fact is that Townshippers’ Association has expressed concern to the appropriate authorities about the jobs of the employees at Sherbrooke Hospital and considerable progress has been made on this front.The fact is that Townshippers’ Association hosted public information sessions in various communities at which authorities were present to explain all the changes and answer questions.The fact is that plans are well advanced to convert the recently closed emergency room facility into a specialized CLSC service point offering follow-up attention to patients of former Sherbrooke Hospital doctors who have been released from the hospital.The fact is that Townshippers’ Association representatives have been working very hard to ensure that English-speaking people in the Region 05 continue to receive excellent care during this time of transition.We encourage anyone who is hesitant to address the CUSE directly and who has complaints about the service to contact our office with the details so that we may use your experiences to help in achieving these objectives.Sincerely, NANCY BEATTIE President MARISA TESSIER, Chair Health & Social Services Townshippers Association Mutual respect is being eroded The Editor, Shame! Shame! Shame! It has become obvious that what is happening to the Sherbrooke Hospital lately goes beyond good business practices.More likely, it is from the world of politics.If the old adage that says we have the politicians that we deserve still stands, we better get thinking again.From the experience we have had in my family — one of mine spent a week at the Sherbrooke Hospital four years ago — we found it to be one of the best, if not the best hospitals we have come across in many years.You see we moved to Sherbrooke five years ago from Longueuil.My comparison stands between hospitals in Montreal, the South Shore and Sherbrooke.The services received at the Sherbrooke Hospital, from the emergency reception to the outpatient care was excellent.In particular, the staff at all ranks and responsibilities was professional and caring.The work and assis- tance of so many volunteers was remarkably courteous.Most of them, like the hospital staff, were bilingual.What an example I thought to the rest of the province, indeed, the rest of Canada.It reflected a rich heritage and a community spirit where mutual respect, generosity and tolerance seemed to be part of its fundamentals.What a wonderful attitude to recognize and celebrate each other in this way.Visiting the Sherbrooke Hospital when you did not need the services was like visiting an old friend.While I was visiting, four years ago, a French-speaking lady of 85 years old was sharing a room with an English-speaking patient.When she heard my accent, she asked: “parle-tu français?”, so we struck an immediate conversation.After she told me that she did not speak any English, I asked, what made you choose to come to the Sherbrooke Hospital — what she called l’Hôpital anglaise?She said to me, at my age, I have been in and out of hospitals for 20 years and I have tried them all in Sherbrooke and this hospital is the best.“Le monde sont plus gentil ici!” It would seem that some leaders here have forgotten or chose to put aside their local history and current contribution to Sherbrooke and the region by our anglo-citizen friends.The self interests of a few politicians is not a good representation of fair play and democracy.The mutual respect and bonne entente that has existed between various clubs, churches and other institutions in the Townships for over 200 years, it seems, is being eroded.This form of descrimina-tion can only be detrimental to all, if it can be done to one group it can also be done to theirs, francophone or anglophone.Shame! Shame! Shame! ROGER TETREAULT Sherbrooke The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996—7 Farm and Business Sudden beef ban spreads through Europe U.K.foams at mouth over mad cow scare By Helen Branswell LONDON (CP) — Britain’s cattle farmers were reeling Thursday, as five European countries announced they are banning British beef in the latest and most acute panic over mad cow disease.Belgium, Sweden, Portugal, the Netherlands and France — the biggest buyer of British beef — closed their doors after Britain admitted Wednesday there may be a link between beef consumption and a fatal brain ailment, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.Spain is considering following suit and Germany has called for a European Union ban on British beef, an idea the EU will consider next week.Rejection wasn’t limited to across the Channel.A large number of British schools said they are striking beef from their menus — joining many that took that step late last year after a spate of CJD deaths.It’s estimated one-third of Britain’s 30,000 schools won’t serve beef in their cafeterias.The blaring headlines and extensive television coverage of the issue are also making people like Mary Petrie think long and hard about whether the taste is worth the risk.Petne ignored previous mad cow scares but has decided it’s time to say goodbye to beef.“I didn’t take it seriously in the past but I think I am now,” she said as she left a North London supermarket.“There’s no reason why one should eat beef, especially if they hear such stuff in the media.“I like steak.I will miss it.” The panic was sparked when Health Secretary Stephen Dor-rell admitted the government’s advisory panel felt 10 recent cases of CJD may have been caused by exposure to bovine spongiform encephalopathy.It was the first time the government had acknowledged the possibility of a link between BSE and CJD.Dorrell may have heightened fears when he said the government might consider having Britain’s entire cattle herd — 11 million animals — destroyed in an effort to eradicate the disease.Prices for live cattle plum-metted.Farmers saw the value of beef cattle drop by the equivalent of about $250 Cdn a head.The drop was sharper for dairy cattle, which have suffered a higher rate of BSE.A dai- ry cow that was worth $1,045 Tuesday was worth $627 Thursday.And nervous farmers knew things might worsen.The reaction in the industry is “a complete disbelief that the situation is as bad as it is,” said Guy Pargeter, press officer for the Farmers Union of Wales.Rees Roberts, a beef and dairy farmer from Powys, Wales, thought a mass-slaughter might be needed to eradicate the disease and restore confidence in British beef.“The country’s going to lose billions over the years if they don’t do something drastic now.” “Consumers want — and need — to know if they should eat beef.No one knows if it is safe.We need more information to cut through current confusion,” said a spokeswoman for the Consumers Association.“Who knows?”, said Guy Pargeter, a spokesman for the Farmers Union of Wales, when asked how the beef and dairy industry will be able to recover from the negative publicity.“I, as a beef eater, am quite happy to continue eating beef and quite happy for my family to eat beef,” said cattle farmer Rees Roberts, who insists precautions the government instituted in 1989 mean beef today is safe.“We’re now selling cows at less than the price many of them cost,” said livestock auctioneer Alastair Watson.“Sales were very, very bad — the worst prices we have ever had.People are really scared.We will just have to wait until the dust settles and see what happens next,” said fellow auctioneer Jim Watson.Ag Minister Ralph Goodale: No worry about mad cow disease here NOBLE, DUKE Chartered Accountants A.Jackson Noble, C.A.164 Queen Street, Suite 102 By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) — There is no mad cow disease in Canada, say federal officials.The Canadian cattle industry might even see new market opportunities due to panic over the disease in Britain, says Agriculture Minister Ralph Goodale.“I wouldn’t want to tread upon somebody else’s misfortune, but it is true that Canada has the very best breeding stock anywhere,” Goodale said Thursday.Changes to RRSPs In his last budget, Paul Martin proposed the following changes to Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs).• The dollar limits for RRSP contributions have been maintained at $13,500 from 1996 to 2002.• The seven-year limit on the carry-forward of unused RRSP room accumulated since 1991 will be eliminated.This measure will increase the ability of individuals to utilize their accumulated unused RRSP room in years when they are able to save.• In order to align the age at which most Canadians are now retiring and the age of maturity of retirement savings, the budget proposes to reduce the current age 71 limit for maturing RPPs, RRSPs and DSPs to age 69.The reduction in the age limit will not apply to individuals who are 70 years of age or more at the end of 1996.Individuals who turn Fax Talks 69 years of age in 1996 will be required to accelerate maturity by one year.Individuals will have to start receiving retirement income or rolling these savings into an RRIF by the end of the year in which they turn 69.Individuals who have RRSP deduction room after age 69 will be able to contribute to a spousal RRSP up until the end of the year in which their spouse turns age 69.The deduction for administrative fees for RRSPs and RRIFs paid outside the plan has been eliminated as of the budget day.Denis Fabi, BBA

are experiencing this kind of difficulty and need to engage in some rather drastic eradication and would then need to rebuild their herds.” Goodale said Canada has for years banned beefimports from Britain and any other country with a problem with mad cow disease (bovine spongiform encephalopathy).He recalled that the department took decisive action when one case of the disease was detected in Canada in 1993.It ordered the destruction of the infected animal and of any other animal with even a remote risk of infection.There was considerable controversy at the time and some cattle breeders went to court to avoid killing valuable animals.“When one looks at that Dewwis Glezos CHARTERED ACCOUNTANT Offering Quality Accounting and Tax Services for over 20 years.2.51Q m e e m , S u i t e D,

Contest Truck ’n Dog Contest.Mike Kalmay, president of this weekend’s 42nd Caribou Carnival on frozen Frame Lake, says pretty much anything goes for this contest in the heart of truck country — with a few exceptions.“Chihuahuas or other hairless dogs don’t count as dogs — they’re in the rats-in-a-trap category,” Kalmay said from Yellowknife.“Last year some guys tried to pass a pair of Vietnamese potbellied pigs off as dogs.They got second or third place.” Kalmay explains there are two truck categories: best northern and ugliest truck — though some may be hard pressed to see the difference.Northern trucks are characterized by the stuff in the back can take top honors By Jennifer Ditchburn The Canadian Press The rusty bumpers’ll be dangling, archaic engines belching, dingy dashboard dice swinging, and nasty mutts barking.A parade of the North’s most repulsive trucks and dogs will straggle through Yellowknife on Saturday, vying for the coveted first place in the Ugly How you YELLOWKNIFE (CP) — The Ugly Truck ’n Dog contest takes place Saturday as part of the Caribou Carnival.Here are the qualifications and rules: Best Northern — Could have good stuff in back, like ice auger, winch, antlers, gas cans, outboard motor, snowmobile parts, sand bags, rope.Unpaid tickets, garbage on dash and gun racks help too.Ugliest Truck — Could have different colored fenders, unpainted body filler, dents, broken glass, different sizes tires, makes smoke when started (extra points for smoke all the time), fuzzy dice in cab, noisy, roof rack, rust, dirt or mud, etc.Ugliest Dog — Could have bad breath, not had a bath recently (if ever), tendency toward unpleasantness, constant barking, general unkempt appearance, etc.Rules — Only two.At least the truck or dog must be ugly.If the dog is real, it must be safely secured.Notes to rules — Street legal trucks and real dogs are preferred.Judging is entirely subjective.Bonus prize — For broken radio, rusty body, not being clear on the concept.How to cut down computer related eyestrain problems By Dr.Joel M.Solomon With computers in an increasing number of homes, the risk of eyestrain from working with video display terminals has to be considered more and more.It’s a problem that can arise at work or at home.Hours at the computer terminal can cause eye irritation, blurred vision or an aching heaviness of the eyelids or forehead.Temporary dryness of the eye can also be associated with computer-related work.Symptoms of redness, irritation and tearing — all associated with dry eyes — can result from the strain of computer work.This is because during close, intense work, the blink-rate diminishes and the tears on the surface of the eye evaporate LENNOXVILLE RIFLE CLUB 22 Beattie Street Saturday, March 23 Old time music by the "Hoedowners" more quickly.Preventive measures include taking more frequent breaks, making a conscious effort to blink more often and use of preservative-free artificial tears.The symptoms of eyestrain have traditionally been associated with close work such as sewing or reading fine print, but the principal cause today is staring at the computer screen.It’s wise for anyone who experiences such symptoms to have an eye examination, since the problem may be due to an underlying eye problem such as cataracts, an imbalance of eye muscles or a condition called macular degeneration.Parents properly worry about eyestrain in children who work with computers, but the condition actually is more common in people older than 40.Aging can bring on presbyopia, a decreased ability to focus the eyes on close objects that make people strain to see better.A few simple measures can solve the problem of eyestrain.To start, position the compu- ter’s visual display terminal (VDT) a little farther away than normal reading distance.The top of the VDT should be at or slightly below eye level.Any reading material should be kept close to the VDT to minimize the need for constantly changing focus.Lighting should be arranged to reduce reflections and glare, and it should not be too bright.Business office lighting that is too harsh can be tamed by hoods or filters.Rest breaks should be taken periodically so that the muscles of the eyes, head and neck have time to relax.Some people may need special glasses whose focus is fixed at the distance they normally sit from the VDT.This is especially true for individuals who wear bifocals, trifocals or reading glasses.Ergonomically designed desks, chairs and VDT tables can also help reduce the possibility of eyestrain.Sutton Mabel Boyce 538-2946 On March 1st approximately 45 people gathered at Grace Anglican church to observe the World Day of Prayer.Readers from the four local churches took part in the

snowmobile parts and so on.Elizabeth Seale, a planner for Parks Canada in Yellowknife, hopes to win this year’s contest after taking second last year.Prizes this year include a fly-in trip to a camp on Great Slave Lake (for best northern truck and ugly truck and dog combo), 400 litres of gas, a beer starter kit, a new dog house and three 10 kilogram bags of dog food.Seale will be driving her boss’s 1977 pick-up, accompanied by not one, but two ugly dogs.“Last year we got extra points when our dog ran off the truck to attack a neighbor’s dog, so we’re hoping the two dogs will go at it in the back of the truck,” Seale said.“It’s a real northern truck — there’s a snowmobile in back, the bumper’s held on with duct tape and it belches black smoke when you start it.” Trucks like these may be deemed unfit in some places, but in the North anything with four wheels and half a running board will do, says Kalmay.And sometimes they don’t even have four wheels.“Last year this guy had a wheel that didn’t work — not just a flat tire or something,” he said.“So he had three wheels and a big log — I guess it’s OK as long as there’s snow on the ground.” The Caribou Carnival draws people from all over the North, and this year the Discovery Channel will be filming the event as part of documentary series on the world’s best festivals.Sherbrooke Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary meet The last meeting of the Sherbrooke Hospital Ladies’ Auxiliary was held in the lounge of the Norton Residence on February 12 under the chairmanship of Mrs.Roxieanne Walker.After a light breakfast of fruit and pastries (courtesy of refreshment committee Polly Allatt and Stella Mayhew) the meeting was called to order.Mrs.Walker welcomed the ladies and addressed a special greeting to three new members: Wadad Cook, Glenroy Loubier and Gina Valenti-Khayat.She urged everyone to patronize the Hospitality Shop in the main lobby and pointed to a nearby table on which Sandra Passmore, shop manager, had set up a miniboutique featuring a sampling of her stock and said she had a wide selection of gifts for Easter shoppers.The business session got underway with reports from treasurer, Elaine Greer and reading of minutes by recording secretary, Sera Gagliardi.Activities convenor, Stella Mayhew, announced the dessert bridge was scheduled for Tuesday, April 23 and mentioned the work she and her committee had done thus far in organizing this annual event.Sylvia Robert, membership convenor, reported the Auxiliary now had 110 members.Madame President reminded the members that the Canadian Cancer Society is holding their daffodil sale on Thursday, March 85 th birthday 28 and several ladies volunteered their service for this worthy cause.Other routine business was quickly dealt with in order to allow time

Johnston took last summer: starting with their flight to Edmonton and thence boarding one small plane after another as they progressed through Yellowknife, Fort Simpson and finally arriving at Rabbitkettle Lake where they joined a party of two canoes and a raft and embarked on their thrilling voyage down the 130 mile stretch of the famous South Nahanni River with its series of white rapids that would normally intimidate most travellers.They both recounted humorous incidents which happened along the way and the spirit of camaraderie which existed among them, especially at the different campsites.Mrs.Johnston is an accomplished artist and exhibited three of the landscapes she had painted, showing the rugged beauty of this relatively unknown part of our country.Following the presentation, Beryl Hughes thanked these two intrepid tourists for sharing their interesting experience on the South Nahanni.Helen Fitzgerald Publicity Secretary greetings Happy 85th birthday to

The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996—9 Arts and Entertainment ‘Jerry was a generous guv’ Country By Sunil Mahtani SHERBROOKE — Jerry Robitaille, a well-known Eastern Townships musician for three decades, died at his home in Cookshire early Thursday morning.He was 53.Robitaille died shortly after 3 a.m.when he suffered his third heart attack in five years.Debbie Aubrey, his girlfriend of two years, was by his side.“He was such a wonderful guy.He was a good-hearted person to everyone.He’s going to be missed, that’s for sure,” said Aubrey.“He was very special.Music was his life.He used to say, we’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time.He’d love to make people laugh.” Robitaille’s funeral will take place on Tuesday, March 26, at 2 p.m.in Lennoxville United Church.Aubrey said Robitaille’s soulful renderings of country classics came from deep within.His music “has a lot of feelings from the heart, and he played with his heart.When he sang, he sang from the heart.” The burly blue-eyed six-footer first made his mark in the late 1960s and early 70s as half of the hit Quebec country music duo Jerry & Jo-Anne.He and Jo-Anne Moreault toured Canada performing a heady mix of English- and-French-language country music.They were pioneers on Quebec’s country music scene, still in its infancy.Jerry & Jo-Anne played on Jo-Anne Moreault and Jerry Robitaille toured the country

at Montreal’s Place des Arts, released more than 20 recordings since their debut album in 1969, and received two Félix awards — honoring excellence in the Quebec music industry — for their efforts.The two paved the way for future country artists in Quebec, but they were ahead of their time and fought an uphill battle to success.Moreault, who spent 20 years with Robitaille as his singing partner and wife, said it was difficult charting new territory.“We had a lot of good times, but we also had bad times.It wasn’t easy.We did work hard,” said Moreault, now manager of the Terra Nostra boutique at Sherbrooke’s Carrefour de m m Patrick Normand, Jo-Anne Moreault, Rene Martel and Robitaille.Quebec singing sensations.l’Estrie.She said they were under constant pressure to prove to the rest of the country that they were as good as English Canadian and American acts.She remembers the man fondly.“Jerry was a generous guy.He really did like people.He would give all time to his friends,” she said.“For Jerry, his life was travelling, being everywhere, and music.He liked to be free.” When Robitaille and Moreault went their separate ways 12 years ago, Robitaille continued as a solo act, touring, playing numerous benefit performances and recently releasing two cassettes as the Mountain Man.Robitaille earned the nickname due to his tremendous love of the outdoors, where the bohemian would hunt and fish on his many trips up north, often cooking and sleeping in his van after he parked in the woods.“His home was here, but his heart was way up north,” said Record editor Charles Bury, an aquaintance for more than 20 years.“His natural audience seemed to be in the mining towns in northern Quebec and Ontario.That suited him perfectly — he spent his time between gigs hunting and fishing.” It wasn’t an easy life, but Robitaille did what he had a passion for.“He lived his dream,” said Bury.“How many people can say that?” A multi-talented musician, Robitaille’s Mountain Man music recipe included a Norman B50 flat top, a vintage Fender telecaster, an Emmons pedal steel, a Peavey Nashville 400 amp and a soltan programmer 245, all played by Robitaille himself.He also prided himself on the fact that his cassettes were recorded live in one take, with no overdubs.Robitaille gave many musicians in the Townships, including Michel Fortier and Ricky Chouinard, a start by hiring them for his bands and helping them out with theirs.Fortier, who played bass and recorded with Robitaille for seven years during Jerry & Jo-Anne’s heydey, said it was fun touring the country and recording in country music capital of Nashville.“He was a very nice person, and a good friend,” he said of Robitaille.“His life was music.He was a really good musician.Jo-Anne Moreault and Jerry Robitaille were pioneers on Quebec’s country music scene.***** 'l* v«ir V 4 It was fun playing with him.” Chouinard, who knew Robitaille for 15 years, said he was an inspiration.“He helped me with my first album.He’s one of the main reasons I’m in the business for so long.He was a role model for me,” said Chouinard, of Ricky and the Travelling Band.“I just wish there was a lot more guys like him out there.I don’t think I ever me one person who didn’t like him.” Chouinard said Robitaiile had a terrific sense of humor.“Just the other day, we were talking about all the pranks we used to play.He was a fun-loving guy, but he was very, very serious about the music business.” Chouinard added Robitaille wasn’t the type to dwell on what was troubling him, even after a severe motorcycle accident six years ago left him deaf in one ear, and with only 60 per cent hearing in the other.“He never complained, so we’d never know (if he wasn’t feeling well).He’d never complained to anybody about having a cold, it was just keep on truckin’.” Mechanic Jerry Dion, of the Dion Country Band, said Robitaille was the first to help out a friend in need.“If anybody needed anything, if you needed an amp, he’d run around until he found one.He did that for everyone.” Though he was surrounded by friends, Fortier said sometimes that wasn’t enough.“He was lonely sometimes.The most important thing for him was to be on stage and have people be happy to listen to him.He always dreamed of being well-known and being a star.” He was an original.PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR NEWSPAPER 10 The RECORD—Friday, March

and girlfriends South took East’s 10 with his king and played a diamond to dummy’s queen.East’s club discard was a painful blow.South maneuvered from one suit to another, but the defenders found the right answers, defeating the contract.“How was I to know that West would have four diamonds?” asked South.“I thought that if he had four diamonds, he might have led that suit rather than a heart.So I assumed East was more likely to have the diamond length.” “Apart from the fact that West is more likely to lead a major than a minor, there is a much better indication,” replied North.“We just need to assume that West will lead from his longest suit.If so, when West leads the heart two, you know he cannot have a void.The heart two tells you that he has exactly four hearts.If West has a diamond void, he must have a five-card suit and would have led that suit.So, only East can have a diamond void.You should have cashed the diamond ace at trick two.Then, using the power of dummy’s diamond eight, you can pick up West’s holding.You win five diamond tricks and nine in all." ©1996 by NEA Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Crossword by alligator wrestling wife who had been beaten up by their men, but

If people could see themselves yelling, they would be shocked at how uncivilized they appear to those who are trying to help them.I'm trained to deal with difficult customers, but my job would be so much easier if the public realized that we must work within specified guidelines prescribed by law.I often wonder if these same people yell at their doctors.I'm willing to bet that they don't.People tend to think of doctors as God-like creatures endowed with supernatural powers, while pharmacists are simply people who work in a drugstore.So, please, Ann, ask your readers to be civil to their pharmacists.We are hard-working, educated professionals who do a lot more than count pills.- "J,“ A PHARMACIST IN MISSOURI DEAR MISSOURI: Thanks for an informative letter that is sure to go up on the walls of pharmacies all over the globe.Gem of the Day: I have never been able to understand why post offices spend so much money chaining to desks pens that don't work or are out of ink.Sutton Mabel Boyce 538-2946 DEAR SARASOTA WITNESS: Here's your letter, which proves that violence has no gender You've certainly made your point, and I thank you.P.S.I hope you don't go out with any more women who wrestle alligators.Dear Ann Landers: Why are people so combative these days?I'm a pharmacist who is amazed at how loud and unpleasant customers can be Helen Mudgett is back at the Sutton Foyer after a long stay in the Notre Dame hospital in Montreal.Best wishes from friends and neighbours in Sutton.Residents of Sutton were saddened to hear of the death of Esther Cleland of Cowansville, Esther lived in Sutton for some time after she retired before taking up residence at the Robinson Home for retired teachers in Cowansville.ACROSS 1 Righteous 6 Attention-getting word 10 Suffer 14 Habitat 15 Farm building 16 Stadium noise 17 Cheerful greeting 20 Attention-getter 21 Gobs 22 — -well 23 Northern constellation 24 Salamanders 25 Birthmark 28 Italian violin 30 Cabbage dish 34 Place of combat 36 Cummerbund 38 Kin of 36A 39 Moderate 43 Implore 44 Bullets, briefly 45 Pool shot 46 Bullring cries 48 Baseball’s Yogi 51 Hammerhead 52 Legal right to hold property 54 Throw off 56 Show up 59 Bede” (Eliot novel) 60 Triumphed 63 Terminal, e.g.66 Venison or steak 67 Continental prefix 68 Mahjongg pieces 69 Sole 70 Let fall 71 Ward off DOWN 1 School subj.2 Woodwind 3 Forming glutinous strings 4 Bustle 5 Baseball’s Gomez 6 Religious retreat 7 Speeds 8 Tree on Main Street?9 Silvery swimmer 10 TV Western actor 11 Coconut fiber 12 Worker 13 Hence 18 Where Scarlett dwelled 19 No longer working: abbr.23 Furnish 24 Coup d’ — 25 Ballroom dance 26 Bay window 27 Shelf Friday's Puzzle solved: G R A 1 N H A H A S T W E E N 1 N A R E C A R A P T O C E A L 1 N E R 1 D E A M A N D A T O R Y U P S E T E N T 1 R E |T Y E N O W R R L O V E L O R N M A c|r O A O N E ¦ 1 R A E A S Hl W A R N 1 N G ¦ T V A L E 1 F R E G ¦ ° C « E R L A c E L E A F ¦ C O K E Y s « * M A N A T O R A T A L E ¦ P A N T L 1 F E M 1 D 1 1 » L 1 C O P T E R B E E N A S O N E 1 ' L Y A O R E G |t O W E L E E N 3/23/96 29 With regard to 31 Inexact 32 Humble 33 Enlarge 35 — mode 37 — and haw 40 In deep 41 Ancient Hebrew measure 42 Engrossed 47 Like wintry streets 49 Eurasian grass 50 Eastern nurse 53 Roadhouse 55 “— man with seven." 56 Air: pref.57 At that time 58 Duck 59 Hair style 60 Trickery 61 Extraordinary thing 62 Cozy abode 64 Possessive 65 54 10 11 12 13 25 26 27 31 32 33 40 41 49 50 52 53 56 57 58 60 61 62 © 1996 Tribune Media Services, Inc.All rights reserved.3/23/96 The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996—19 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created (rom quotations by famous people past and present Each letter in the cipher stands tor another Today s clue;

Associated Press Tony Graffanino hit a three-run double and Jermaine Dye a two-run homer as the Atlanta Braves scored five runs in the sixth inning and beat the Montreal Expos 8-2 Thursday at West Palm Beach, Fla.Led by starter Jason Schmidt, who struck out six in three innings, six Braves pitchers had 15 strikeouts in Atlanta’s sixth consecutive PHOENIX (AP) — Baseball owners approved a revenuesharing plan Thursday that would give some small-market teams an additional $4 million US this season if the players’ association agrees.Owners approved the plan 26-1-1, with the New York Mets voting against it and the Baltimore Orioles abstaining.Management negotiators were to present the proposal to the union at a bargaining session in Phoenix on Thursday night, but prospects for player approval were unclear.“Revenue sharing, if nothing else, has become part of the way we live, part and parcel of our business,” acting commissioner Bud Selig said.To gain approval, owners agreed to decrease the maximum to be paid by high-revenue teams.The New York Yankees, who would have had to contribute about $7.25 mil- victory.Graffanino, Dye, Rafael Bel-liard and Jeff Blauser had two hits apiece for Atlanta, which also got RBIs from Fred McGriff, Tyler Houston and Eduardo Perez.Ray McDavid and Dave Sil-vestri drove in runs for the Expos.Indians 6 Blue Jays 5 (10) lion under the plan discussed before the meeting, would pay about $5.9 million under the proposal owners adopted.Under the current system, the Yankees pay about $3 million per season.Cleveland, Baltimore and Atlanta would give the next-highest amounts behind the Yankees, one source said, speaking on the condition he not be identified.Kansas City, Pittsburgh, Minnesota, Montreal and San Diego would receive the most.“I think the small-market clubs will be the first to tell you this will help them,” NL president Len Coleman said.New York Mets president Fred Wilpon and Orioles owner Peter Angelos spoke out against the plan, according to several sources, saying that while they agreed with increased revenue sharing they At Dunedi, Fla., Brian Giles and Herbert Perry doubled in the 10th and Wayne Kirby added a sacrifice fly for Cleveland.Toronto had 10 hits, including a two-run pinch homer by Juan Samuel.Mets 3 Tigers 3 (10) At Port St.Lucie, Fla., both Detroit’s Bobby Higginson and approve proposal thought it should start only after a new collective bargaining agreement with the union.Owners adopted the plan on a two-year interim basis, with the amount of revenue shared — about $39 million in 1996 — at 60 per cent of the level owners eventually contemplate.Teams would contribute 22 per cent of their ticket, local broadcasting and stadium revenue after various deductions for expenses.NL teams currently give just 72 cents from each ticket over $1 to the visiting team, and 25 per cent of the cable money from that game.AL teams give 20 per cent of their ticket money to the visiting team and place 20 per cent of their cable money in a pool that is split among the clubs.A final revenue sharing plan would be part of a collective bargaining agreement.New York’s Todd Hundley went 2-for-3 with an RBI as the Mets and Tigers tied.Yankees 2 Pirates 0 At Tampa, Fla., Andy Pet-titte held Pittsburgh to five hits over seven innings and Wade Boggs had a home run for New York off Danny Darwin.Twins 2 Red Sox 1 (12) At Fort Myers, Fla., Tom Quinlan’s opposite-field single in the bottom of the 12th scored Matt Lawton to give Minnesota the victory.Dodgers 3 Orioles 2 At Vero Beach, Fla., Tom Candiotti allowed one run on three hits over six innings and hit a sacrifice fly as Los Angeles edged Baltimore.Cubs 8 Rockies 3 At Ttucson, Ariz., Leo Gomez went 5-for-5 and had two RBIs during a five-run fifth as Chicago ran its spring record to 4-0 against Colorado.Andres Galarraga hit his fifth homer of the spring for the Rockies.Brewers 11 Athletics 9 At Chandler, Ariz., Roberto Lopez, a minor-leaguer used as a late-inning replacement, drove in the deciding run with a single in a two-run eighth as Milwaukee outhit Oakland 17-14.Angels 11 Mariners 8 At Tempe, Ariz., Mike Aldre-te’s three-run homer off Mike Jackson in the seventh highlighted a four-run California rally.Tim Wallach had three hits and an RBI as the Angels improved to 16-6.Giants 11 Padres 8 (11) At

talented coaching Eastern Townships high schools are well served High school soccer and basketball have gradually become the major participation sports in the Eastern Townships school calendar.Fed by organized minor leagues in the summer and by numerous coaching clinics in Quebec and Vermont, the frenzy also involves the parents of sports minded boys and girls.They scurry to and from practices and day camps transporting, supporting, and paying the bills.The athletes themselves soon realize that the fall and winter school programs are highly competitive.They devote most of their walking energy to perfecting skills in an attempt to “make the team”.Almost taken for granted are the many volunteer coaches and helpers who provide instruction and encouragement.Most of the kids think the coach is a permanent fixture, well paid for his or her trouble, who shows up each year because of some unpublished obligation to do so.Initially, they react partly with admiration and partly with trepidation.The adolescent experience is always unpredictable.Sometimes individual relationships sour as assignments are won or lost.Often, athletes blame coaches for their misfortunes.Aerobic Sports By Bill Williams Coaches, like all practitioners, have to start somewhere.In the formative years some are less skillful or less communicative than others.Although prejudice and initial reactions may be severe, in time a good balance can be achieved.There is little that a patient and optimistic coach cannot achieve with a hard working and receptive bunch of kids.Raw talent and careful molding are the ingredients of success on the sports fields and in life.As the season unfolds, units gel, and strong bonds develop among players and coaches.A winning streak brings with it a sense of accomplishment and euphoria which often carries over into other activities.Defeats are weathered together.Who can ever forget the year we won the provincials?Who can ever forget the year we came that close?The team wins and loses as a whole.The athlete’s sense of self esteem and fair play is improved dramatically by careful guidance at this stage of development.The coaching role is critical.All of the region’s major schools are blessed with solid examples of committed and talented coaching.BCS, Stans-tead, Richmond, Galt, and Massey Vanier have consistently produced successful teams in several sports.That so many players have jumped to CEGEP and university teams directly following their high school experience ranks the quality of the coaching on a par with other leading Canadian programs.That so many men and women link their sporting experiences at these schools directly to their current success in chosen careers clearly defines the value of the local coaching art for all who care notice.As the 1995-‘96 school seasons wind down, congratulations to the Townships coaches and thanks for the memories.We hope that your mission continues and that you will be out there freezing on the field or sweating in the gym, next fall.when the kids need you again.COMING EVENTS March 31: Ville Lasalle Fun Run, 1.6k, 3k, 5k, 10k, 1.6k walk, Lasalle High School, 8300 rue George, Lasalle,

Sports The RECORD—Friday, March 22, 1996 lead, Canadians third in ice dance Russians By Neil Stevens EDMONTON (CP) — Shae-Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz skate last tonight and they can imagine what it will be like.A capacity Northlands Coliseum crowd in excess of 15,000 will be on its feet.Flowers will cover the ice.The applause will go on and on and when the scoreboard shows the Canadian champions have won the bronze world medals — they hope — the place will go nuts.“I’ll probably be in tears,” Bourne said as she looked ahead to the free dance.“I know that the crowd is going to be unbelievable because they’ll be wound up from the whole event and waiting for that last performance.“It probably will be one of the biggest memories we’ll ever have.” Oksana Grishuk and Evgeny Platov of Russia closed in on a third straight world figure skating dance title by getting top original dance marks Thursday.CANADA THIRD The standings remained the same as they’d been after the Wednesday compulsories: Grishuk-Platov; Russians Anjelika Krylova and Oleg Ovsiannikov, hoping to grab silver after being fifth last year; and Canada’s champs, who were fourth overall last year.Bourne, 20, of Chatham, Ont., and Kraatz, 24, of Vancouver hope to become the first Canadians to win dance medals since Tracy Wilson and Rob McCall won bronze in Budapest in 1988.Wilson, working as a CTV commentator, would be one of the first to interview Bourne and Kraatz tonight.Kraatz actually had his skating fate indirectly influenced by Wilson 10 years ago when he was 14.Born in Berlin and raised in Switzerland, Kraatz and his family attended the 1986 worlds in Geneva.“At one of the practices, my mom went up to Tracy and Rob and said, ‘We’re moving to Canada, to the West Coast, who should we go and find as a coach?”’ Kraatz recalled.Wilson recommended Jean Westwood in Victoria.Westwood and Lawrence Demmy, skating for Britain, won dance gold in 1952 in Paris — the first time the event was part of the worlds.GREAT IDEAS “Tracy started giving us great suggestions even before I came to Canada,” said Kraatz.“Ever since, she’s been part of, indirectly, our team.” “She has a true love for skating and you can really see it and Victor and I respect that,” Bourne said.Tonight, their four-minute free dance will be skated to music from The Wind by Chris Shepperd, Killer by George Michael, Harlem Nocturne by Earl Hagen and Relax by Frankie Goes to Hollywood.Retaining third place in front of 14,922 fans with a revised original dance represented a leap over a high hurdle.The judges at the Champions Series final in Paris last month placed them fourth and advised them to add footwork, which they’d been implementing during the last two weeks.“They have a different style,” said Platov.“They have come up fast in a short time to the podium.“Well, they’re not on the podium yet, but third place is very good for them.” Compromise has paid off.“That’s what happens when you’re so completely different — you have to be able to give a little,” said Kraatz.“That’s where it’s at in ice dance right now.“But we’re not jeopardizing our style.It’s all still there.We just added something.It makes everyone (especially the judges) happier.” Skips have similar aims at world championships By Gerry Sutton HAMILTON (CP) — They’re as different as night and day.One is like dynamite ready to explode.The other appears capable of defusing the explosives.They’re Marilyn Bodogh, the charismatic skip from St.Catharines, Ont., and Jeff Stoughton, the cool leader from Winnipeg.Their objectives, however, are the same — success for Canada at the world curling championships beginning Saturday in the Copps Coliseum.Bodogh is gung-ho about this year’s tournament; the word defeat isn’t in her vocabulary.“Absolutely not.You just can’t think of that.You have to think of all the positives that are here for us.” Bodogh, who has Kim Gel-lard at third, Corie Beveridge at second and Jane Hooper Perroud at lead, runs her family’s lumber business and often delivers lectures on motivation to charities and businesses.AGRESSIVE On the ice, she follows the motivational spirit and there’s rarely a dull moment because of her aggressive approach to the game.Her voice can often be heard in many areas of the rink as she yells encouragement to her sweepers.So don’t expect her to give up without a fight.“We’re in our backyard, with our family and friends around, so we just can’t afford to miss this opportunity,” said Bodogh, whose only other appearance in the worlds was successful in 1986.“I’ve waited 10 years for this moment to happen and I’m certainly not going to allow fear to enter the picture at all.” Both Bodogh and Stoughton, a 32-year-old computer systems specialist, beat Alberta opponents in national championships.Stoughton, however, has a calmer approach to the game.“I think most people are different personalities than Marilyn,” said the skip, who has third Ken Tresoor, second Garry Vandenberghe and lead Steve Gould.“She’s flamboyant, outgoing .she’s just got a different attitude on how she approaches the game.JITTERBUG “That’s the way she likes to The defencemen 1.000 club Murphy to enter select club By Neil Stevens The Canadian Press Paul Coffey, Ray Bourque, Denis Potvin and .Larry Murphy.Murphy, 34, is about to become the fourth member of an exclusive club — NHL defence-men with more than 1,000 points.He has 998 going into the Toronto Maple Leafs’ game Saturday against Philadelphia.It’s been a long ride this season, however.It’s taken Murphy two months to collect his last dozen points.But the 16-year NHL veteran has been on a tear of late, collecting five points in his last three games.He has 10 goals and 43 assists this season.The only defencemen in league history to amass more career points than Murphy are Detroit’s Coffey, who has 1,392 since breaking into the league with Edmonton in 1980, Boston’s Bourque, who has 1,298 since joining the Bruins in 1979, and Potvin, who earned 1,052 with the New York Islanders from 1973 to 1988.This is a realm beyond the ordinary.Consider this: among Hall of Fame defencemen below Murphy on the all-time points list are Larry Robinson (958), Bobby Orr (915) and Brad Park (896).For sure, Murphy will be joining them in the Hockey Hall of Fame one day.“I think it’s jugt a case of playing long enough and having some consistency,” Murphy modestly replies when asked about the 1,000 points.By sheer mathematics, it all adds up.“It was nothing I was shooting for.It actually kind of came up quick on me.It’s something that I’ll take great pride in when it happens and when I’m done playing it’ll even mean more.” Murphy, a native of Toronto, was a junior all-star with the Peterborough Petes and was the Los Angeles Kings’ first pick, fourth overall, in the 1980 NHL entry draft.He went to Washington for Ken Houston and Brian Eng-blom on Oct.18, 1983, in a trade that in retrospect appears to have been ridiculous.Houston was out of the NHL in 1984 and Engblom was gone in ’87.Murphy spent the better part of six seasons with the Capitals.On March 7, 1989, he was traded to Minnesota along with current Leafs teammate Mike Gartner for Dino Ciccarelli and Bob Rouse.do it.She’s like a little jitterbug out there on the ice, shows her emotions .shows her nerve.is always talking.” Stoughton, making his first trip to the worlds, goes about his business in a nondescript sort of way —- until the match is over and he walks away with another win.“We just go about what we have to do and try and do it the best that we can,” said Stoughton, who eliminated defending world champion Kerry Burtnyk of Winnipeg in the Manitoba playoffs.Ten countries will compete in each division, with the round-robin portions ending Thursday.The semifinals are set for next Friday, with the women’s gold and bronze medal games the following day.The men’s final games are set for Sunday, March 31.Canada, Germany, Norway, Scotland, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States will compete in both divisions.Additional teams will come from Denmark, Finland and Japan for the women, with Australia, England and Italy for the men.rCh 21st-April 8th r on all the SHOES and BAGS in the store Mitsushiba - GOLF CARTS on all clothing in the store Come and see our new merchandise!
