I commend Mr.Nunziata for his integrity.It is gratifying to witness one with the courage of his conviction.Nunziata’s action in no way indicates disloyality to the party — quite the contrary.I am confi- not to serve the English-speaking community.Now the government of Quebec is determined to eliminate English-speaking institutions which guarantee English services to the community.The following are closing in Montreal: Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Reddy Memorial Hospital and The Lachine General Hospital.Off the island of Montreal, the Jeffrey Hale hospital in Quebec City and Sherbrooke Hospital in Sherbrooke are also closing.The government of Quebec likes to inform people that do not need worry because every English-speaking person in Quebec is guaranteed services in English because of Bill 142.While this false promise is being spread dent he will not suffer loss of popularity on the part of his constituents.The action he has taken is an honest stand.Oh that we should have more of his kind.I would like to think the Prime Minister would weigh this matter carefully, but undoubtedly some form of penalty will be forthcoming.There is little or no room it would seem for those who are motivated by principle.And as for Sheila Copps, how does the saying go?“Power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely".R.LOWRY Sutton around, we are now hearing horrible stories of how anglophones in Quebec are even dying in French at because certain hospital employees are not willing to speak English.Even though I realize it is the government of Quebec which has jurisdiction over the provincial hospitals I still say more should be done by the Official Languages Department.Why has this department not taken a vigorous role in fighting to keep these important institutions open, especially in areas where these were the only English hospitals left in the area like in Quebec City and Sherbrooke?We must remember that these are rights and now more than ever the Official Languages Department should be involved in making sure that anglophones will always be guarantee services in their mother tongue.Is this too much to ask?Are we not still Canadian citizens?We are also hearing now of companies in this province firing or enforcing early retirement to get anglophones and allophones off their payroll.These employees find out shortly after that these positions were then filled by francophones.How much more can the English-speaking community swallow here besides living in this uncertainty?MALCOLM ORR Chateaugay A promise is a promise The RECORD—Friday, April 26, 1696—7 Goodwill abounds when misfortune strikes STANBRIDGE EAST — On January 13th, 1996, the Carol Soule and Raymond Brault family lost their house, furniture and personal belongings in a devastating fire.The family had no insurance on their home or its contents.On January 16 a committee was formed to help raise funds for Carol, Raymond, Josh and Mitsy.Streets were solicited by Mona Ditcham, Vera Gendreau, Diane Boomhower, Thelma Rhicard, Thelma Gage, Mary Boomhower, Terry Rhicard, Greg Vaughan, Georgette Soule, John Lee, Carol Soule of Mystic, Elsie Gage, May Darby-son, Dale and Barbara Soule, Lydia Ditcham, Raymond Wes-cott, Pamela Realffe, Ronnie Haynes.We are proud to say that with the help of so many generous people, Carol, Raymond and family have moved into their new home and are doing fine.There’s many people who need to be thanked for their generous donations: Red Cross, Jeu-ness aux soleil, Bénévole de Bedford, Métro Plouffe, Marché Stanbridge East, Stanbridge East Lodge No.19, Stanbridge East Sports Association, les aliments Carrière, Stanbridge East United Church, Mystic United Church, Stanbridge East Anglican Church, Wesley United Church in Bedford, Salvation Army, residents in Stanbridge East, Mystic and many other municipalities.Their donations of furniture, clothes, food, appliances or money were kind and very much appreciatated.On behalf of Carol, Raymond, Josh, Mitsy and the committee I would like to thank everyone who helped in any way.And I would also like to thank the committee who gave a lot of time and effort for this cause.Mona Ditcham President of the Carol and Raymond Fund.Helping Circle members plan coming events DERBY LINE (IH) — Mildred Lawton and Eva Pelkie were co-hostess for Stanstead South Church Helping Circle meeting at the home of Mrs.Lawton on the evening of April 16.The president, Madelyn Curtis welcomed the attendance, voiced appreciation to the hostesses, and thanked the Circle for the beautiful lily, members for cards and food brought to their home during her days after surgery.Everyone was happy to see Madelyn out and about again.For devotions Madelyn chose to read an article, Easter and Spring, from an Ideals book, and all recited the Lord’s Prayer.Dorothy Nutbrown, secretary, called the roll, read her report from the March meeting, and submitted the correspondence.Ruth Putney, treasurer, presented the financial report.This being Library month in Quebec, a sum of money was voted to the Haskell Library towards large print books, or cassettes which are loaned out.Correspondent note paper has been ordered and will be on sale.April 28 the Circle will serve refreshments following the worship service and this was planned.All were reminded of the New - Tu - sale in the church hall open from 9:00 a.m.until 2:00 p.m.on June 8.Other projects planned will be a card party on October 10;

Farm and Business 8—The RECORD—Friday, April 26, 1996 Cedar Group finishes MIL Davie takeover By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — A provincial agency sold Quebec’s remaining large shipyard to an American-owned company on Thursday — for $1.The SGF also agreed to kick in $45 million to forgive MIL Davie debts and build up its working capital as it turned over the keys to Cedar Group.A spokeswoman for the SGF said the financing agency will also contribute up to 25 per cent of whatever Cedar invests, to a maximum of $15 million over five years.“They’re turning the speedometer back to zero,” said the spokeswoman for the SGF (Société générale de financement), referring to the debt-free status of newly privatized MIL Davie.Cedar, a fast-growing American-registered engineering and construction concern, promised to invest $60 million during the next five years in the ailing shipyard, located at Lévis across the St.Lawrence River from Quebec City.“We’re proud to be the new owners of MIL Group and we’ll start immediately to rebuild this new subsidiary,” Cedar chairman Michel Marengere said at a news conference in Levis.The spokeswoman added that the government did not promise any contracts or tax breaks for MIL Davie, kept alive for years by federal and provincial government contracts.The SGF selected Cedar as the buyer last January, but the details had not been worked out and announced until Thursday.Ford recalls 8.7 million cars WASHINGTON (AP) — Ford Motor Co.is recalling about 8.7 million cars, minivans and pickups in Canada and the United States with the same type of ignition switch that has caught fire in hundreds of vehicles.As part of the recall, the automaker is expanding its Canadian recall of vehicles with the switches from the 248,000 announced late last year to a total of 859,000 to match the makes and models being fixed in the United States.The ignition-switch problem was under intense scrutiny from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration because owners had reported about 820 fires from the switches.Some of the cases include reports of fire even when the vehicle was parked and shut off, said documents on file at the highway safety administration.The first Canadian recall followed 260 reports of fire or smoke from ignition switches, causing minor injuries to three people.mm NOTARIES AND TITLE ATTORNEYS 455 King Street West, Suite 610, Sherbrooke (Quebec) J1H 6E9 Phone: (819) 563-6833 Fax: (819) 566-0467 LAGASSÉ LAGASSÉ Appointment LAGASSE LAGASSÉ, notaries, are pleased to announce the appointment of Me Sonia Beaupré and Me Nathalie B.Poisson as members of the partnership.Me Sonia Beaupré, ll.b., d.d.n.Me Nathalie B.Poisson, ll.b., d.d.n.Me Beaupré and Me Poisson possess a thorough expertise in business, real estate and succession laws.Their appointment reflects the firm's long-term commitment to excellence in providing specialized legal services to its clients.Recognized in the field of business law, LAGASSÉ LAGASSÉ is considered as one of the most important firms in the Eastern Townships.LAGASSÉ LAGASSÉ general partnership Tax tips for students Tax Talks If you are a student, the following measures apply to you.Type of income which you receive Most of the amounts which you receive are taxable and should be included in your income.Such amounts include: • Salaries or wages, tips or gratuities, investment income;

down-sizing in an increasingly complex society, the key word “collaboration” is frequently being uttered in both political and business circles.The creation and emergence of the group Contact Sher-Lenn does more than pay lip service to this credo.Formed in the fall of 1995, Contact Sher-Lenn is a gathering of professionals and members of the business community from the Sherbrooke and Lennoxville area, with the view of exchanging information and developing business relationships both amongst themselves and with the public.Guided by a minimum of rules and regulations, Contact Sher-Lenn nonetheless restricts membership to one member per profession or type of business and further wishes to restrict its total membership “to about 30” in order to keep the group at a manageable size.Through bi-monthly breakfast meetings, members may exchange their expertise on topics of interest in both an informal yet formative manner.The group encourages “networking": the development of business relations amongst its members.However, the group is not just inward looking.It also looks outward.Contact Sher-Lenn does not merely encourage dealings amongst its members but in fact promotes participation of its members with both their professional colleagues and with the business community in general.To this end, the group has decided to share their professional knowledge on topics of interest, by having one of its members write a column in this same spot in The Record on a monthly basis.Now that, as a group, we have introduced ourselves to you, we look forward to your continued readership of our members' columns in the future.Our members, listed on the side are also more than willing to offer professional services and advice in their fields to those of you who may need

money.Statistics Canada says 28.4 per cent of corporate revenues were generated by foreign-controlled firms in 1994, up 0.4 of a percentage point from 1993.The share of assets controlled by foreigners has remained relatively stable since 1988 at about 20.5 per cent, the federal agency said in a report Thursday.But foreign control as measured by revenues has risen every year since 1989.Statistics Canada linked the pattern to the concentration of foreign investment dollars in NOBLE, DUKE Chartered Accountants A.Jackson Noble, C.A.164 Queen Street, Suite 102 Lennoxville, Quebec, JIM 1J9 (819)

control in 1994 came from companies that make and export such things as cars, wood pulp, metals, chemicals and food products.By focusing on these thriving businesses, foreign-controlled companies have managed to boost revenues by 25 per cent since 1991.That’s just over double the rate of increase for domestically controlled firms.Andrew Jackson, senior economist at the Canadian Labor Congress, said homegrown companies fared worse because they are more heavily represented in such depressed sectors as construction and real estate.“There’s nothing about being Canadian that drags down profitability,” he said.Statistics Canada said foreign-controlled firms also benefited from being linked with the global distribution networks of their parent companies.This has opened new markets and opportunities.But Jackson said this success has come at the cost of a massive restructuring of Canadian factories that involved layoffs and closures.Brome Lake Ducks Limited The Board of Directors of

10—The RECORD—Friday, April 26, 1996 An overview of travel garments old and new The ideas of the travelling public as regards to what is appropriate, not to say convenient to wear when travelling, have undergone the gamut of change over the years.It is a journey itself to trace this change over past centuries.Enter Georffrey Chaucer, the great English poet of the 14th century (b.1340).He gives the account of a pilgrimage to Canterbury in his “Canterbury Tales”.He recounts the history of the rollicking Wife of Bath and even describes her travelling costume from head down to her “moyste newe” leather boots, outfitted with “a paire of spores sharpe”.The remarkable “Wife” displayed her wealth while travelling, wearing a riding skirt that Chaucer calls a “foot-mantel”.She wore a hat., “As brood as a bokeler or a targe”, that is: as broad as a shield.Her riding costume is complete: “Hir hosen weren of fyn scarlet reed” the poet tells us.Radical change came about only in relatively recent times.Cumbersome as the gear of the good Wife of Bath seems, Victorian times a century or more ago still prescribed a strict code for the travelling lady, who was required to wear the long skirted gowns then fashionable in somber or neutral shades, usually, perhaps to keep dust from showing on her costume.She was always formally hatted and gloved when on the road.Until past the middle of this century, women travelling in street cars in Toronto and other Canadian cities always wore gloves, even on hot summer days.Etiquette demanded this choice.Ladies did not feel properly dressed in public without gloves.The 1960s still called for a fairly strict travel code in dress, though formed an important feature.I dipped into my treasure trove, the book called simply Elegance, in which Mme.Danaux lays down guidelines for the lady traveller.Madame is not only an authority on fashion; her advice is common sense.She gives advice on how to co-ordinate a wardrobe for travel: “.take with you ensembles which have already proven their worth and not a new sweater or dress which does not go with anything you own.Furthermore, it is far more sensible to have several different tops and just one skirt or pair of slacks, than the reverse.” She suggests that you combine different items in your wardrobe in various ways, “thus creating the illusion of many different costumes in a minimum amount of luggage.” However, she says, “As a general rule, it is better to brave a stormy scene with a husband who believes in travelling light and take one garment too many rather than one too few.The dress you left behind is bound to be the very one you would have found most useful!” FashbnIJ Most of us remember the legendary movie actress Audrey Hepburn.Of her Mme.reports: “I have been told that Audrey Hepburn travels with a raincoat, a black coat, a white coat, and a mink lining that can be snapped into each of these three garments, she is thus prepared for any occasion and any climate.” What about materials that serve best in travel?Wash and wear of course is the most practical, beside being great saver, but in Mme’s opinion camel hair in tailored suits, and overcoats lined with mink is “the best classic for sportswear and travel”.What does our elegant lady suggest that the traveller should carry?“A large bag for travel and casual wear.The height of luxury would be an alligator bag signed ‘Hermes’, but equally chic are the brass rimmed Italian sports designs, as well as the American creations inspired by them.” There is a word of warning for the fortunate who may take a cruise on the Q.E.II: “It is slightly ridiculous to overdo the marine theme and dress Bishop’s looking for homes for students LENNOXVILLE — Bishop’s University is looking for a place to stay for Japanese students attending the school this summer.These students come to Lennoxville to take part in intensive English courses offered at Bishop’s.According to Maria Bandrauk of Continuing Education, many Japanese students prefer to live with a family in order to work on their English and learn about North American culture.Families will be paid for the cost of putting up the students.About 40 students are expected to attend Bishop’s during the summer months.For more information, please contact the Continuing Education department of Bishop’s University at 822-9670./fà de

pea jacket, with slacks or a white skirt, and you’ll be very chic — but that is as far as you should go-” There is also a word of advice on jewelery on travel: “The velvet case at the bottom of a woman’s handbag is the dream of every thief and the nightmare of all insurance men after a heavy meal.” Ladies you are best warned, she claims, to deposit your good jewelery at your bank for the duration of travel and be sure to pin your engagement ring to your underwear at night.There are those, who write over twenty years of the publication of Elegance who tell us that no matter how little we take with us on a trip, it will be too much.One unnamed writer giving advice to travellers writes, “My purse is a sturdy shoulder bag with a good catch.In it I keep a compact, comb, lipstick, chap-stick, pens, Kleenexs, a little notebook, a money changer and coin purse.I carry bills and tra- vellers’ checks in zippered compartments.People who take a lot of stuff do not use it, anyway.” Traveller Mary Jenkins of Illinois suggests: “Pack articles which might break, small ones that is, in the toes of the extra pair of shoes every traveller should carry.” Small scissors and nail clippers may be also handy.One seasoned traveller of our days makes this suggestion for ladies travelling in Europe: Follow this rule of thumb: “If it’s an outfit you’d wear in your own nearest large city, feel free to wear it in a large European city (rural districts sometimes require more propriety in dress).” Imagine! Gentlemen: You can take even less than your wives, are you not glad?David Gideon of New York has a helpful suggestion: “Ties should be folded in half.Socks should be placed inside the sleeves of jackets, to keep shoulders and sleeves of a jacket crease free.” Thus endeth the overview of travel costumes and accessories old and new.Chest pains may be a help to heart patients LONDON (Reuter) — Angina, the crushing chest pain that warns of heart disease, may signal the body is building defences against a heart attack, doctors said Friday.Angina is usually treated with drugs, but Derek Yellon of University College London’s medical school and colleagues said this may not necessarily be the best approach.In an article for the Lancet medical journal, they cited new studies that indicate molecular changes in heart cells during an episode of angina may help protect the heart.The changes seem to help cells resist the effect of loss of blood supply, known as ischaemia.They noted that the body has several mechanisms to recover from heart disease.Sometimes it generates new blood vessels that ease the pressure from blocked ones, for instance.Doctors thought that drugs such as beta-blockers that eased the pain of angina would also protect from heart attacks.“We suggest that, rather than always being harmful, angina may in some instances be followed by an increased resistance to myocardial infarction,” they concluded.90th birthday greetings Margaret Rowland wishes to tell her mother, Marjory Rowland’s friends and relatives that she will celebrate her 90th birthday on April 30.Happy 91st birthday To Alice King at the Luce Rest Home in Sawyerville on May 2.Friends and relatives are invited to come and have cake and ice cream with her on Sunday, April 28 from 2-4 p.m.Love and best wishes from the staff and residents.Jack and Jill shower Mixed shower for Lisa Hunting and Andy Clark at the Manoir Waterville on Sat.April 27, 9 p.m.Music by Dave Bessant, Rte.147.Admission $6.0ftperson. The RECORD—Friday, AprU 26, 1996—11 Arts and Entertainment Knowlton Players present the female James Bond Women on top in Best Laid Plans By Sunil Mahtani SHERBROOKE — Jose Jones has a crush on all the men on stage.Lucy Hoblyn-McAuley rides rough-shod over the entire crew.Farley Morris: Great.Godlike.Gorgeous.Arthur Kilkelly has two left feet and three right elbows.Barbara Zap’s director’s notes in the program for The Best Laid Plans certainly are revealing.But Women are the superior race! What’s that all about?Zap said her comments about the Knowlton Players' latest production were written in jest.But the women in this parody of James Bond-style spy stories are quite aggressive.Veteran Knowlton player Jose Jones portrays an elderly novelist — with a mean karate chop — turned secret agent, Lucy Hoblyn-McAuley is the granddaughter who bosses boyfriend Farley Morris around and Patricia Villeneuve is a mysterious Russian spy.“The women tend to be stronger characters in the play, the way they push the men around,” said Elinor Joyce, admitting her role is the only exception.“I just trot around getting drinks for everyone,” she said with a laugh.Joyce plays the devoted secretary and companion to Jones’ writer who gets in over her head when, while vacationing in Jamaica, the two become entangled in a mystery straight out of an Ian Fleming novel.‘My character begins to progressively fall apart through act two as these things happen,” said Joyce.“Jose’s character is in her element being a writer of spy stories.My character gets more and more neu- Celine to sing at Olympics Celine Dion beat out some top American artists for the honor.ATLANTA (CP) — International superstar Celine Dion will sing at the opening ceremonies of this summer's Olympic Games, a televised event that will be seen by an estimated one billion people, officials said Thursday.The Quebec singer will perform “The Power of the Dream”, a song written for the event by David Foster and Linda Thompson.“Dion’s extraordinary voice and the combined talents of everyone involved in the song will make this piece a memorable part of the ceremony, said Don Mischer, executive producer of the opening and closing ceremonies in Atlanta.“The song is a gripping, emotional ballad that will help create the sense of drama we need to grab the world’s attention.Foster produced two of Dion’s biggest hits, “The Power of Love” and “Because You Loved Me”.Reports earlier this week said Dion had beat out some top American artists for the honor, including Gloria Este-fan, who specializes in Latin-flavored music.Estefan, who shares the same record label as Dion — Sony Music — was reportedly miffed Olympic officials didn’t choose her after she wrote a song about the Games that’s already getting airplay in the U.S.She opens a worldwide tour in Atlanta the night before the opening ceremonies July 19.A spokeswoman for Estefan’s Miami management company refused to comment on the apparent Olympic snub.Dion is now on a media tour in Europe and was unavailable for comment.Canadian pop divas are making a habit of beating out their American counterparts on U.S.turf this year.Shania Twain, of Timmins, Ont., has outshone her U.S.country colleagues, Also, Ottawa-born rocker Alanis Morissette upstaged honey-voiced balladeer Mariah Carey at the Grammy Awards earlier this year.TAXI fpL l 562-5414 J WE WILL BE AT OUR NEW ADDRESS ON APRIL 29 200 Queen St.Lennoxville Win tickets to see L’Arabesque dance The Arabesque dance company is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a retrospective show at Sherbrooke University’s Salle Maurice-O’Bready on Sunday, May 5, at 1:30 p.m.The 195 students of the school will present the best choreographies from the past decade.The Record has three pairs of tickets to give readers.Simply answer the question below and send your response to Dance Contest, The Record, 2850 Delorme, Sherbrooke, J1K1A1, or FAXit to (819) 569-3945.The deadline is Wednesday, May 1, at 5 p.m.Name one of the new choreographies Arabesque will dance on Sunday?(Hint: The answer is in this week’s edition of Townships Week.) Good luck! rotic — a neurotic, single, myopic scotch drinker!” Joyce said the play, written by Fred Carmichael, is a fun take-off on 1960s spy stories.“Bodies appear and disappear, and there are spys and secrets and Russians and all that Cold War, James Bond stuff.” She praised Danny McAu-ley’s set for adding the perfect mood for the intrigue.“It’s a home in Jamaica, a wooden summer home with wicker furniture and shutters that look out over palms and the patio.” Jones, who has acted in amateur shows in Knowlton for the past 10 years, including parts in The Red Shoes, Harold & Maude and See How They Run, said Ada Westbrook was her most challenging role yet.“It s the most dialogue I've ever done in a play,” said the 70-year-old t.hespian.“It's given me more of a range — I lose my temper, I do karate, I cry.It’s a wacky, zany play.We’re all enjoying it.” She said the same goes for audiences.“It’s a lot of fun as long as you don't take it too seriously,” said Jones.“People are fed up with winter and this gives you a good laugh.I think that human beings need laughter.” Seasoned veterans such as Jones, Walter Strapps and Reg Patterson share the stage with newcomers Patricia Villeneuve and Farley Morris.Zap said her first experience at directing has been memorable.She said she was surprised at how everything came together for opening night last weekend.“We worked so hard during rehearsals and even at the last minute, everyone did not know their lines 100 per cent.Walter kept reassuring me and they pulled it through.That was the biggest surprise,” said Zap.She praised her cast for their versatility and comic timing.“It’s quite amazing to see, because of the heavy dialogue, they’re pushed to the limit.I’m really proud of them and how far they've come."

They established vital churches, publishing houses, and mission societies.In spite of this godly heritage, a recent edition of the London Times stated, “Britain emerges as one of the most irreligious countries in the Western world from the latest survey by the British Social Attitudes team.” What happened?The emotional scars of two World Wars, the loss of a world empire, and the weakening effects of liberal clergy could all be cited as causes.But there is a deeper, spiritual reason for the decline of any nation.Its citizens lose interest in God.They don't believe He makes any difference in their lives, so they make gods out of their own accomplishments.Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, was the most powerful ruler in the ancient world.He even saw himself as God.Because of this, God caused him to suffer a humiliating mental illness.From his degraded condition, Nebuchadnezzar looked heavenward and gave honor to the true God.May we as citizens humble ourselves and honor God and His Son Jesus Christ.It's the only way any nation can become, and remain, great.— David L.Burnham Never through the troubled years Has love of land sufficed; That nation only shall endure That bows to Jesus Christ — Anon.THE HIGHWAYS OF HISTORY ARE STREWN WITH THE WRECKAGE OF NATIONS THAT FORGOT GOD."Our Daily Bread", copyright 1990 by Radio Bible Class, Grand Rapids, Michigan Used by permission.COMPLIMENTS OF EATON REGULAR BAPTIST CHURCH 443 - Highway 108, Birchton, R.R.#5, Cookshire, Qua.JOB 1M0 Assemblies of UNried ChuRch CliRisTiAN Brethren of CanacIa Grace Chapel 267 Montreal St., Sherbrooke 565-9770 / 837-2725 Sunday 9:30 a.m.The Lord's Supper 11:00 a.m.Family Bible Hour Speaker: Mr.Arnold Reynolds Sunday School & Nursery Wednesday 7:30 p.m.Prayer & Bible Study A warm welcome extended to all CHERRY RIVER CHAPEL SPRING BIBLE CONFERENCE with ANDREW PATTON, Singer and Preacher!

The War Amps The RECORD—Friday, April 26, 1996—21 Sports Expos have National League’s top offence Andrews belts second grand slam of season MONTREAL (CP) — The sun must now set in the East.The Montreal Expos — touted at the start of the season as having little but pitching and defence — are setting records with their bats.On Thursday afternoon, third baseman Shane Andrews hit his second grand slam home run in 10 days to lead Montreal to an 8-4 win over the Cincinnati Rfeds.Montreal has scored 56 runs in its last seven games — all wins — the most run production in team history.“A lot of people missed good baseball,” Expo manager Felipe Alou said.The Expos are averaging just over 10,500 fans a game and 13,067 showed up Thursday to watch Montreal win its seventh in a row — the hottest team in the majors.0 Shane Andrews.Second slam in 10 days.The two-game series sweep over the Reds was the sixth for Montreal since the season star-ted and the third in the 10-game homestand that ended on Thursday.The Expos have seven starters hitting over .300, their record is 15-7 and they haven’t started this strongly since 1981 when they won 14 of their first 20 games and won the pennant.“Maybe they’re eating better cereal, maybe they’re lifting more weights, maybe it’s the wood in the bats,” said Alou.“So far the offence, which wasn’t mentioned at all before, has saved the start of the season.” Now heading to Coors Field in Colorado for a three-game series against the Rockies, the Expos lead the National League in home runs, batting average, slugging and runs scored.On Thursday, right-hander Pedro Martinez (W,2-l) won his second consecutive start and limited the Reds to mostly easy ground balls or shallow pop-ups.Right fielder Moises Alou hit his sixth homer of the season for his 500th career hit.Shortstop Mark Grudzielanek singled in the second inning to extend his major-league leading consecutive-game hitting streak to 17 and second baseman Mike Lansing upped his batting average to .391 with two doubles, a single and two runs scored.Intensity seems to be the secret to the Expos success.“I don’t know where it’s come from,” Alou said.“Usually you only see that in pennant races.” Said Lansing: “Intensity is the makeup of our team.The game is meant to be played hard — that’s how it’s fun.“We just try to put the pressure on the other teams and force them to come up with big plays.” Montreal opened the scoring in the bottom of the first when David Segui singled Lansing home from second.It was 2-0 going into the third when Andrews came home on Grudzielanek’s single to right centre.Andrews hit a bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the third to score Henry Rodriguez.Montreal went up 4-0 when Alou sent Reds starter John Smiley’s (L,l-2) first pitch deep into the left field bleachers.The Reds got two in the seventh when Lennie Harris scored on a single by Ed Tau-bensee that was misplayed by centre fielder Rondell White, who was charged with an error.Taubensee scored on an Eric Davis sacrifice fly to narrow it to 4-2.With Lansing on third, Segui on second and White on first, Andrews hit a Tim Pugh fastball over the left field wall for his third career grand slam and an 8-2 margin.LENNOXVILLE — David Lizotte smacked two home runs Wednesday as the Alexander Galt baseball team split a doubleheader with Woodsvil-le (N.H.) High School.Lizotte hit a two-run homer in a 14-run second inning en route to Galt’s 19-6 win in the second game of the twinbill.The Pipers sent 17 batters to the plate in the inning, scoring the 14 runs on only five hits.Woodsville used three pitchers in the inning and added to their own woes by walking nine Pipers and making two errors in the inning.Lizotte finished the game 3-for-6 and drove in five runs in the game.Shortstop Mike Jones went 2-for-4, scored four runs and had two RBIs.First baseman Johnny Osborne Willie Greene scored on a Thomas Howard sacrifice fly in the eighth and Eric Anthony homered off Tim Scott in the ninth to make the final score 8-4.knocked in three runs while going 2-for-5.Tim Smith pitched a complete game (seven innings) to pick up his first win of the season.Smith gave up six runs on 11 hits, but walked no batters and struck out nine.Galt lost the opening game 5-1 to Woodsville.Jones picked up the loss, although he gave up only one hit in four innings of work.Lizotte hit a solo home run in the sixth inning to account for Galt’s only run.Wednesday’s games were the Pipers first of the season.The team has had only one outdoor practice so far because of the poor weather.Galt travels to Richford, Vt., for a pair of games on Saturday.The Pipers play their only home games on Wednesday, May 8 against Selwyn House.Lizotte homers twice Pipers split season opening doubleheader Boston marathon veteran wins women’s race Swiss group adds international flavor to Sap Run Gerti Wettstein, a 50-year-old runner from Switzerland, won the women’s veteran division in Boston last Monday.And then She rebounded easily, defeating all age groups in the 17th Sap Run in St.Albans, Vt., on Sunday.The diminutive powerhouse led the women’s field from the start despite an early challenge from the speedy Johanne DeBoer of Ayer’s Cliff.Tucking in behind men’s 60 + leader, Christian Versch, she actually ran away from perennial class favorite Gerald Barney, who eventually had to settle for one of his rare second-place finishes.Shari Bashaw, of St.Albans, served notice that this will be a competitive year for her as she clawed her way into second place along the finishing stretch.The women finished in that order, Wettstein, first in 57:12, Bashaw, second in 58.08, and DeBoer third in 59:12.On a windy day, Shawn Allard, of St.Albans, settled into a steady hill climbing pace and hung on to defeat masters runner Ken Payne, of England Aerobic Sports By Bill Williams by 21 seconds in the slowest Sap Run in recent memory.Allard is a tried local hill runner and used his stammina to advantage, crossing in 52:06.Canadian triathlete, Stéphan Marcoux, of Abercorn, came up to grab third in 52:39, while Tony Quinn of Milton, Vt., was fourth in 52:43.In the pack, a few stiff legged survivors of Boston weathered the hills, among them a 35-per-son contingent from Switzerland, guests of the St.Albans Maple Festival Committee which sponsors the event.Among locals, Murray Reynolds posted a solid 58:05, while Jim Mayo, 73:09 dueled it out with Carolyn Eddy-Reynolds, 75:46.Further back in the grey seats, Lee Costello returned to the site of some of her former conquests.All along the route, loyal fan and former New York Marathon finisher, Herb Costello, offered timely support and advice.She posted an 85:23.nearly closing the gap on a

Sports 22—The RECORD—Friday, April 26, 1996 y Vigneault must help Harfangs stop Granby’s offence Coach key to Beauport’s appearance By Bruce Cheadle The Canadian Press Alain Vigneault knows all about being an underdog.But is he really one now?Vigneault, fired as an assistant coach with the NHL’s Ottawa Senators last November, leads the Beauport Harfangs into the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final tonight against the top-ranked Granby Prédateurs.The winner of the best-of-seven series advances to next month’s Memorial Cup in Peterborough, Ont.The national junior championship runs May 11-19.“Even though we finished on a high note, the odds in Las Vegas can’t be on our side,” Vigneault said Thursday from his office in Quebec’s Colisée.“We know that the external pressure is on them.They’re the favorites.” Beauport finished the regular season with 81 points, 33 points behind league-leading Granby, the third-ranked junior team in Canada.But after knocking off the Hull Olympiques four games to one in the QMJHL semifinal, the Harfangs are getting the nod from some pundits in the final.That doesn’t upset Granby coach Michel Therrien.“It’s a team whose face has changed since the end of the trading deadline,” said Therrien.“They’re a bit like us, they’ve been able to get hold of good players to improve themselves.There’s no doubt in my mind their team is just as talented as ours.” Granby advanced by beating Chicoutimi 4-1.The Harfangs ignited after Vigneault — out of work following the Senators’ first of three purges this season — was hired in December.Vigneault, 34, had previously coached Hull to a Memorial Cup berth in 1988 and he immediately retooled Beauport.Before the end of January, the Harfangs had made nine player changes.“Everybody’s assumed their roles,” said Vigneault.“They just fit into the puzzle.” Granby still boasts the most talent.The Prédateurs scored 389 goals this season (105 more than Beauport) while giving up 191 against, both league bests.Granby had three scorers among the league’s top 10, while six of the top 11 playoff scorers are also Prédateurs.Yet the difference just might be Vigneault.“It’s true that he’s accomplished a lot more things than I have,” said Therrien.“He’s won the President’s Cup (as QMJHL champion), a world junior championship and in finals spent three seasons in the National Hockey League.You have to give him credit.” Alain Vigneault has transformed Beauport./mm*.Team takes on Russians today Canadians regroup at world championship By Alan Adams VIENNA (CP) — Life has its twists of fate, and the world hockey championship provides a fitting example.For years, Europeans complained about the hooking, hol-ding and interference employed by Canadians to slow their attack.Now the skate is on the other foot.It’s the Europeans who are frustrating the Canucks with their flagrant obstruction tactics.The key to success at the 12-team tournament is short passes, working a give-and-go up the ice.But instead of setting up plays, the Canadians have CANADA been trying individual end-to-end rushes, which are no-brainers on the global stage.And as soon as a Canadian gets the puck or even nears the puck, there’s an opponent all over him.So while it’s one thing to adjust to a bigger ice surface and the time change, it’s another to get used to the holding, hooking and interference — especially considering the war on obstruction waged by the NHL this season.“It is difficult in the sense that in the 80 (NHL) games we played, we were told not to interfere any more,” said Los Angeles Kings forward Ray Ferraro.“The quicker we figure it out and start interfering with their forecheck, the better off we will be.” The International Ice Hockey Federation coaching committee has apparently seen enough obstruction.They are to recommend to the federation as a whole next week that the international game adopt the same rules as the NHL on obstruction.In games Thursday, Russia (3-0) climbed into sole possession of first place in Group A with a 3-1 win over the U.S.(2-1).In other games, it was: Austria 2, Slovakia 1; Finland 6, France 3; and Sweden 3, Italy 3.The tie leaves Italy (2-0-1) in a tie atop Group B with the Czech Republic (2-0-1).The Canadians cancelled Thursday’s practice in favor of a series of meetings at the team hotel.There were one-on-one sessions between each player and the coaching staff and a group meeting with sports psy- Battle of size vs.speed continues Canadiens hope to regain momentum on with fire in our eyes.” Fortunately for the Rangers, they had a 4-1 lead going into the third period of Game 4 — a luxury they didn’t enjoy in the first three games.The Canadiens came back with their speed to make a game of it.“They’re very dangerous on the rush and they proved that in the third period,” Rangers defenceman Bruce Driver said.“We’ve been trying to cut down their rush chances.“We played an extremely good game for two and a half periods.In the last 10 minutes, they turned it up and we were sitting back.But we’ve got lots of experience here.” The emergence of the Rangers’ high-profile players was a key to their success in Montreal.Such players as Mark Messier, Adam Graves and NHL player gets out NEW YORK (AP) — The NHL playoff series between the Montreal Canadiens and New York Rangers has been a classic matchup of speed against size.The Canadiens’ speed was instrumental in winning the first two games in New York.The Rangers’ size was a big factor in sweeping the next two in Montreal.Now, it’s back to New York for Game 5 tonight (7:30 p.m.EDT, CBC Quebec East, SRC), where the Rangers hope to continue their recent surge and the Canadiens hope to stop it.In other games tonight, the Detroit Red Wings take a 3-1 into a game at home against the Winnipeg Jets (7:30 p.m.EDT, CBC Ontario West) while the Washington Capitals and Pittsburgh Penguins, who played into four overtimes Wednesday, meet in Pittsburgh (7:30 p.m.EDT, TSN) with their series tied 2-2.The Canadiens say they have to find a way to upset New York goalie Mike Richter.‘Whether we play better or not, we still have to bother Richter more,” said Montreal forward Vincent Damphousse.For a change, the Canadiens outshot the Rangers (35-19) in their fourth game of the series, but still wound up losing 4-3.“I thought we played our best game of the series,” said Canadiens defenceman Lyle Odelein, “but they got the bounces.” Canadiens coach Mario Tremblay agreed.“This was the best game we’ve played at home in a long time.We’re going to New York DUARTE, Calif.(AP) — Milos Holan of the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, who received a bone marrow transplant Feb.21 to treat a form of leukemia, was discharged from the hospital Thursday.Dr.Stephen Forman, direc- tor of hematology/bone marrow transplantation at the City of Hope National Medical Centre, called Holan’s recovery “excellent” so far.“At this point, the transplanted marrow has engrafted, his leukemia is in remission and chologist Wayne Halliwell.Time is running short if the Canadians want to qualify for next week’s medal round.The top four teams in each group move on while the bottom four play in a relegation round, with the last-place team being demoted to the B Pool next year.With four days of round-robin competition left, the good-news, bad-news scenarios for Canada (1-1-1) are enough to keep a mathematician busy for hours.Essentially, Canada has to win either today against Russia (TSN 2 p.m.EDT) or Sunday against the United States to advance.the road Richter came through with big games.Graves leads the Rangers — and series — with five goals.Graves said he was scoring because he was skating better.“To get to the net, you have to skate and get through a lot of players,” said Graves, who had a sub-par season with only 22 goals in 82 games.“For me, that has been the key.” of hospital his physical rehabilitation is proceeding satisfactorily,” Forman said in a statement issued by the team.“There are still major clinical hurdles to overcome before a long-term prognosis can be made.” r The RECORD—Friday, April 26, 1996—23 Sports Bishop’s student is eyeing a CFL career Receiver By Robert Matheson LENNOXVILLE — Stéphane Roy knows that he’ll be playing football in September, but the question is: Where?If Roy, a receiver with the Bishop’s Gaiters, has his way it won’t be in Lennoxville.It will be in Canadian Football League cities like Regina, Winnipeg, Hamilton and most of all Montreal.“I think physically I’m ready,” Roy said.“But the difference will be reading (defences) and the speed of the game in general.It’s a lot faster.I have to work on that.” Speed is Roy’s forté.The five-foot-10, 170-pound receiver clocked a time of 4.3-seconds in a 40-yard sprint test recently, catching the attention of the Montreal Alouettes.Montreal general manager Jim Popp signed Roy to a two-year contract with an option year.Popp wasn’t available for comment this week.Roy thinks he can make the jump, although he’s the first to admit that he’s still rather raw.“I thought I was going to be drafted, but it didn’t happen.I didn’t have good stats for foot- Roy readies for Alouette rookie camp ball, because I’ve only played two years (at university.But I have good speed,” the 26-year-old Quebec City resident said.“I want to go there (rookie camp) and test well.If I impress them then I’ll have a chance to make the team,” Roy added.“I really want to impress them with my 40 (sprint).” Roy, who caught 20 passes for 264 yards last season, is going to spend the next month honing his skills with Bishop’s offensive coordinator Jacques Chapdelaine, himself a former CFL receiver.“He’s got the speed and testing numbers to warrant the signing,” Chapdelaine said.“I think he has the potential to perform at the next level.” “What’s important is that I think he is a legitimate training camp roster player.” Chapdelaine said he thinks that Roy still has a lot of things to work on before he can make the jump to the CFL.“He has to improve his hands and his football sense and that comes with experience.And then he’ll be a real good football player,” Chapdelaine said.“He’s got to develop a sense of comfort.” Roy, who played CEGEP football for St-Georges-de-Beauce, still wants to try to make the leap to the CFL.“I’m really going to train and workout to make the team this year.If I have a chance to play for Montreal, I will take it like that,” he said while snapping his fingers.The only drawback about becoming a full-time Alouette is that Roy will miss out on his university football eligibility.“When you have a chance to start a game with the Gaiters as a receiver it’s great,” he said.“Because we throw a lot of passes.It’s the best place to come for a wide receiver.” “I will be happy to play for Montreal, but I’ll be sad if I make the team this year, because 111 be leaving Bishop’s after only two years.” But he also knows that if he doesn’t make the Alouettes this summer there will be a spot waiting for him in Lennoxville in August.“I really want to make the team (the Als) this year, but I’m not in a do-or-die situation, because I still have three years of eligibility.” îShÉF Bishop’s wide receiver Stéphane Roy is optimistic .chances to play professionally for the
