system.In an interim ruling to be issued today, a dispute panel created under the North American Free Trade Agreement has ruled unanimously in favor of Canadian tariffs on dairy, egg, and poultry products.Government sources said Monday that both sides will have 14 days to respond to the interim decision.A final ruling will be issued late next month.The decision to reject American complaints protects Canadian farmers from cheap U.S.imports at least for a few years.The officials said the interim ruling includes virtually eve- rything Canada was looking for to protect its farm tariffs.Under new World Trade Organization rules, import quotas set by agricultural marketing boards had to be replaced by tariffs, which were to gradually decrease over eight years.The Americans claimed those were illegal under the previously signed NAFTA.As a result, Washington was looking for immediate access to Canadian markets.¦**4 * ¦¦¦* •# * *-f # f ** kl ( OKI) SUNIl.NÏâÏÏTV - - ' r' ' ¦MA - Al/l* iXX12fTM Happy on Day 1 Clinton under pressure from allies over Helms-Burton law WASHINGTON (CP) — Canada and the European Union both expected the worst today as President Bill Clinton considered whether to implement a tough anti-Cuba law.The president was reported Monday to be searching for a compromise to avoid drawing the ire of Canada and other U.S.allies.From his mountain retreat at Camp David, Md., Clinton was reviewing his options on the Helms-Burton Act.He was under immense pressure from allies to waive part of the law that allows U.S.citizens to use U.S.courts to sue foreign com-panies with Cuban investments.Clinton must make a decision sometime today if he wants to keep this provision of the law from going into effect automatically.“We’re searching for a com- promise that will be the greatest benefit to all interested parties,” said a White House official who asked not to be identified.Foreign Affairs Minister Lloyd Axworthy said in Vancouver on Monday that Canada still hopes Clinton will back down on enforcing the legislation.“We’ve mounted the largest international-scale coalition the United States has seen in a long time,” Axworthy said.“I think the Americans have been surprised.” “He (Clinton) is facing a political election year.He’s facing pressures.He’s got to make a decision on whether he lives up to international responsibilities or whether he gives in to.domestic pressures.” Axworthy added Canada will protect Canadian busines- ses by giving them rights to counter-sue and blocking use of Canadian courts to impele-ment U.S.court rulings on Cuban-linked assets.“We are expecting the worst, but we’ll continue pressing the administration” for the waiver, said George Rioux, a spokesman for the Canadian Embassy.He said Canadian Ambassador Raymond Chrétien is working round the clock to get Clinton to use the waiver.Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has authorized the preparation of retaliatory measures that would include allowing Canadians to sue any U.S.company that uses the Helms-Burton law to attack Canadians companies doing business in Cuba.Trade Minister Art Eggleton See CLINTON: Page 2 Excitement was in the air on Monday as

Bienvenue will not testify about his controversial comments about women and Jews before the Canadian Judicial Council, his lawyer said Monday.“We’ve indicated (to the council) that we will be making a summation in writing,” Gabriel Lapointe said in an interview.Bienvenue could have stated his case in person at the Sept.5 meeting, but the session would have been held in public.Lapointe would not say why Bienvenue has opted not to testify, but a public hearing isn’t required when a written defence is submitted.Earlier this month, a committee appointed by the council recommended the Quebec Superior Court judge be remo- ved from the bench because his actions suggest that he can’t carry out his duties impartially.Lapointe acknowledged that decision hit Bienvenue hard.“After the initial shock, I can say he is serene.” Bienvenue is being judged by his peers after he said Jews didn’t suffer in Nazi gas chambers and that women can sink lower than the vilest of men.The comments came last December as Bienvenue sentenced Tracy Théberge, who had fatally slashed her former husband’s throat.Bienvenue tried to compare the violent death she inflicted to how the Nazis killed Jews during the Second World War, suggesting the Nazis were more humane.His comments about Jews and women sparked widespread outrage.Lapointe said Bienvenue has no plans to resign even though the committee’s decision went against him.“It’s a question of honor for his father — who was a judge — and his son, who is a lawyer, and his other children,” he said.When asked how Bienvenue is doing, Lapointe replied: “-He’s behaving.” Bienvenue has not commented publicly since the committee’s report was published July 4.Bienvenue could be the first federally-appointed judge to be dismissed if the 35-member council also recommends to Justice Minister Allan Rock that he be removed.It would still require a majority vote in a joint sitting of the Commons and the Senate to oust Bienvenue. 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 16, 1996 May be fined anyway — Human Resources official Senator’s daughter returns UI overpayment OTTAWA (CP)—A senator’s daughter has reimbursed $5,500 she collected in unemployment while she was studying in California, says a senior official with Human Resources Development Canada.Elizabeth Roux, daughter of Senator Thérèse Lavoie-Roux of Coaticook, repaid the money after the RCMP investigated her for alleged UI fraud, said Jean-Paul Desjardins, head of the department’s major-investigations unit.Roux was not charged but Justice Minister Allan Rock said last week she was shown no favoritism.The decision not to lay charges was made according to standard legal criteria and after the investigation had been completed, he added.“Sometimes the police think there’s a case to be brought before the courts, sometimes the lawyer makes a judgment that that’s not so,” Rock said Thursday.“That happens from time to time.” Continued from page one has said Canada is considering two trade actions against the United States.Eggleton said last week Canada will likely go ahead with a request for a dispute resolution panel under the North American Free Trade Agreement.Eggleton also hinted Canada could join the European Union in an action before the World Trade Organization.In Brussels, European Union foreign ministers agreed on a wide range of retaliatory measures to be taken against the United States should Clinton not waive the trade law.They said an EU complaint with the World Trade Organization would be stepped up; visa restrictions would be considered against

would be introduced in European courts to counter the act.“We must react and must react today,” said European Commission Jacques Santer.EU Trade Commissioner Sir Leon Brittan added the 15-member bloc has agreed to consider compiling a “watch list” of U.S.companies that take legal action against European firms with Cuban links.But White House spokesman Mike McCurry said the allies have “got it exactly the wrong way around” by complaining about the U.S.law instead of offering ways to isolate Cuba.“We would say to our allies: Join us now in the effort to confine Cuban communism to the trash bin of history where it belongs,” he said.WE A T H E R Variable cloudiness in the morning with a 40 per cent chance of showers late in the day.The high will be near 26.Outlook for Wednesday; Variable

unemployment officials had reason to believe Roux “by trickery, lies or other .means defrauded” the unemployment insurance system of more than $5,000.The newspaper quoted RCMP Sgt.Hervé Gagnon as making the comments in a letter dated April 28,1995, aimed at obtaining a search warrant.The RCMP document said that beginning in August 1994, Roux’s unemployment cheques, which she had signed, were deposited in a Montreal bank account held jointly by Roux and her mother, the newspaper reported.Lavoie-Roux, a former Quebec Liberal cabinet minister, was questioned in the investigation, it added.A letter released by Rock’s office late Friday concluded “there does not exist a reasonable prospect of conviction.“The actions undertaken by Elizabeth Roux revealed by the investigation demonstrate that the accused has no intention to mislead,” said the letter, appa- rently from investigators in Montreal, dated Dec.21, 1995.It concluded Roux told the truth and was available to work in Canada between August and December 1994 because she was paying for her apartment by the month.As further proof of her honesty it describes her “good faith” trip to the UI office in December 1994 to declare she had become a regular student and was no longer available to work.According to Rock’s office the RCMP met with department officials March 27 1996 to discuss the decision not to prosecute.The police could have appealed that decision, but chose not to.Desjardins said his department wanted to pursue Lavoie-Roux for collusion in the case.Neither she nor her daughter was available for comment.“Sometimes the police think there’s a case to be brought before the courts, sometimes the lawyer makes a judgment that that’s not so,” Rock said.“That happens from time to time.” Liberal MP George Baker said it is not up to Rock to deci- de whether a senator’s daughter should be charged.He said it would be up to the revenue and human resources ministers to lay a charge and they have no choice but to charge Lavoie-Roux and her daughter.“If there is any indication of fraud, they are bound by the act,” Baker said.“They must lay the charge.The ministers have no choice.” Baker, a former parliamentary secretary to the revenue minister, said he wants to know why his Newfoundland constituents are automatically charged when they run afoul of the rules and Roux wasn’t.Reform Justice critic Jack Ramsay said Rock’s decision is “just one more example of interference with the judicial process by the Liberal government.“There is a very distinct line between those who create the law and those who enforce it,” said the Alberta MP in a press release.“When that line is crossed, as it appears to have been done repeatedly by the current justice minister and his officials, it brings the entire justice system into disrepute.” CLINTON: D lhSl tfecord a division of Quebecor Communications Inc.2850 Delorme, Sherbrooke, Que.J1K 1A1 819-569-9511 819-569-9525 Fax: 819-569-3945 Member

The RECORD—Tuesday, July 16, 1996_3 Townships Victim’s family urges calm approach to justice Petitioners want death penalty back — now By Paul Cherry SHERBROOKE — Marcel Bolduc is asking for public calm after the murder of his 22-year-old daughter Isabelle stirred calls for capital punishment.Bolduc and Jocelyn Simard, a friend of the family, have started a foundation in Isabelle’s name.Both men say they want no part of a petition that has been circulating in the Sherbrooke area calling for the return of the death penalty.“I’m sure if my daughter were alive today she would say ‘don’t do things this way",” Bolduc said, referring to the petition group calling themselves Des Citoyens et des citoyennes SHERBROOKE (PC) — Murder and rape suspect Jean-Paul Bainbridge has been taken to the Parthenais Street detention centre in Montreal for his own safety.Spokesman Mario Alie of the Sherbrooke detention centre said Bainbridge was moved from there to the Montreal prison Saturday evening after other inmates threatened to harm him if they met up with him.Alie also said Bainbridge was kept mostly in isolation while he was at the Sherbrooke jail.“At one point he wanted to go outside to an outdoor courtyard for a couple of hours,” said Alie.“Inmates already outside told guards stationed at the courtyard door that if Bainbridge came out they would harm him.” écoeurées et révoltée du système judiciaire” — citizens sickened and revolted by the justice system.“I know everyone has a heavy heart right now, I have one also.I just lost my daughter,” said Bolduc.“We shouldn’t be calling for vengeance.We have to be sure that justice is applied in the way it is supposed to,” said Bolduc, calling the petition a panic reaction.The Bolduc family began the foundation as a way to collect reward money for any information that would lead to a conviction of Isabelle’s murderer.With the arrest of three sus- Alie said the prison diverted a disastrous situation by keeping Bainbridge inside.Prison officials decided Bainbridge would not be safe in the Sherbrooke jail because he would eventually have to come into brief contact with other prisoners.Baibridge faced six charges including forcible confinement, sexual assualt, and first degree murder in Sherbrooke Court on Friday.He was arrested Thursday afternoon in Valcourt while working on a plumbing contract.Bainbridge, Marcel Blanchette and Guy Labonté are all suspects in the murder and rape of Isabelle Bolduc.They are all scheduled for a bail hearing on July 19 in Sherbrooke Court.pects, Mario Blanchette, Guy Labonté and Jean-Paul Bain-bridge, the family has decided to change the goals of the foundation.Bolduc said it will now be used to fight problems in the probation and parole system.The money the foundation raises will also go to organizations who aim is to make society safer for women.“Ask yourself the question, if one innocent person was killed because of the death penalty, what would society’s reaction be,” Bolduc said.He said his call for calm is based on past experience in community work.“For the past 20 years I have After the three were arrested officials from the National Parole Board and Correctional Service of Canada said they will investigate the release on parole of Blanchette and Labonté.The investigation will look at why the two were released and how they were supervised while on parole.Sheila Watkins, a spokeswoman for the parole board, said the report will be made public.Labonté had broken his parole and was arrested on Wednesday, July 10, a day before he became a suspect in the Bolduc rape and murder.Blanchette, who has been convicted of several crimes including robbery and firearms charges, had broken his parole last July but had been reinstated two weeks later.been against the death penalty,” said Bolduc after the press conference.“Before that I was totally for it.” “In the last 20 years I’ve done community work including work for the Human Rights and Liberty League in Montreal,” Bolduc said.“In that time I saw people who did ten or twelve years in prison and later it was found out it wasn’t them who committed the crime.” Bolduc became involved with the human rights league while involved in various community efforts including an automobile consumers protection group and a family budget group in the Townships.“When they were released their lives were just completely broken and you can’t fix that,” said Bolduc.“The death penalty is not the solution,” Bolduc said.“If you kill someone by mistake that’s it, it’s over, you can’t erase it.” Still, he says, the current justice system is too lenient.“I think when someone is convicted they should do the time they are convicted of,” Bolduc said.“I also think we should change the conditions prisoners have now,” Bolduc said.“I-t’s at the point now where prisoners are given condoms, can have visits from their wives, televison, movies and are sometimes released for weekends.” Suspects Blanchette and Labonté were both on parole when Isabelle Bolduc was murdered.Nicole Laroche, director of the crime victim support group Cavac de l’Estrie, said she too is concerned about the state of of the justice system.Marcel Bolduc.‘‘She would say ‘don’t do things that way’.” Justice Minister Allan Rock “should look into the process of putting people on parole,” Laro-che said in a telephone interview.“More time is needed to talk with and learn about someone the system is about to release,” said Laroche, who added she would like the legal system to be harsher overall.“In general people can’t have much confidence in the system with what has been going on,” Laroche said.“Crimes like these are damaging to everyone.” “For someone who is a victim of a violent crime last week’s events can be very shocking.It doesn’t help them recover from what they have gone through.” One of the centre’s main functions is to help victims of any type of crime while they are going through the court system.The centre offers free advice on the judicial system to victims as well as counselling when it is needed.Inmates warned prison guards Bolduc suspect unsafe in jail ‘It all depends on the judge’ — lawyer Heroin addict sentenced to methadone program By Lucia Niro MONTREAL (CP) — When convict Michael Povilaitis swigs his orange juice these days it has a special ingredient — methadone.Benoit Turcotte, a lawyer for Povilaitis, says his client is the first inmate in Canada to get the go-ahead to take the drug to help him beat his heroin addiction.Povilaitis, a Montreal native who has been incarcerated several times after stealing to finance his drug habit, was sentenced to two years in Sherbrooke’s Talbot Street provincial jail in June for breaking and entering.But he will be released in October, when he begins a three-year probation period during which he must complete the methadone program.Quebec Court Judge Gerald Desmarais agreed to the idea when Povilaitis, 34, was sentenced.Povilaitis, who has been a general worker on horse farms in the Eastern Townships for eight years, said the program he began Monday is his last hope for a drug- and crime-free life.“A psychologist who came and evaluated me said there was a high risk of me coming back here after I’m released — 98 per cent,” he said in a telephone interview from the Tal- bot detention centre.“The only way to succeed is to go through the methadone program.The psychologist also evaluated my motivation to get clean at 69 per cent.So the motivation was there.I just needed the means to do it.” Corrections Canada said it doesn’t condone methadone treatment for inmates because there is no medical support network behind bars and within communities.But Dr.Alain Bérubé, who is treating Povilaitis, said the methadone program involves therapists who will monitor his client during his probation.Health Canada has said it won’t interfere with the treat- ment because Bérubé can prescribe whatever drug he deems fit for his patient.Doctors need a licence to prescribe methadone since it is registered under the federal Bureau of Dangerous Drugs, Bérubé said.But he added that methadone has no harmful side-effects, kills the “buzz” and has proven to be the most effective antidote for heroin addiction.“(With methadone), there’s a 50-50 chance an addict will abstain completely,” said Bérubé.“Forty per cent will relapse occasionally but won’t get back into the cycle.Ten per cent will go back to being hardcore heroin addicts.” Bérubé, who is prescribing methadone to 11 other patients, said Povilaitis will also undergo weekly urine tests to detect any traces of drugs.“There is strict control so that the individual practically can’t cheat,” he said.Turcotte said his client’s sentence targets drug addiction, which is at the root of a startling number of offences.The sentence could also be trendsetting, he added.“All across Canada, this could be used as a precedent to reduce sentences and follow the methadone treatment,” said Turcotte.“But it all depends on the judge and the motivation of the accused.” Townships 4—The RECORD—Tuesday, July 16, 1996 Ursula Ruf ‘wanted to do something meaningful’ IODE Quebec president came for a visit Ursula Ruf: ‘Whatever talent you have, you can develop it, and you can also discover talents you never knew you had.’ kkordsunil mahtani € C, r W * r f ¦* # « iS! ' By Sunil Mahtani STANSTEAD — When Ursula Ruf flew to Canada from her native Germany 18 years ago to visit family friends in Granby, she never expected to be staying for good.But she became enamoured.“First with the country and then with my husband (Armin),” Ruf said in a recent interview.“I think we saw each other eight times, we got engaged and married and I never went back to Germany for six years or so.” The Rufs’ 1000-acre dairy, grain and beef farm in Stans-tead became her new home and she helped out in her new family’s business while raising three children of her own.Ruf was to make an even greater contribution to her adopted country.Nine years ago, she joined the IODE, a national charitable women’s organization which aims to improve the quality of life for children, youth and others in need through educational and social service programs.“I wanted to do something meaningful,” said Ruf, who was recently elected president of the provincial chapter of IODE.“I’m lucky enough that I don’t have to go to work outside the house and I had time and I wanted to do someting that meant something to me and to other people.” Ruf said she soon learned that she could gain as much as she could give by being part of the organization.TO LEARN, TO GROW’ “IODE gives you an opportunity to learn, to grow.I have changed, I’ve become a different person since I joined,” she said.“I have made friends across the country.I have friends from ocean to ocean, from coast to coast.” Ruf, also a member of the Stanstead chapter, said the IODE is very rewarding.“When we have a program, you can see where your effort is going.We can see the impact it makes,” she said.“I’m very proud about IODE.I’m very passionate about it.We have done wonderful things across the country.” The IODE (Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire) was founded in Montreal in 1900 to support Canadian soldiers fighting in the Boer War.It has always tried to remain relevant and respond to the changing needs of communities across the country.“In Quebec, we had an audiometer and members went around checking pre-school children for hearing problems, and when it became apparent that ther'e is quite a need for that, the CLSCs and other agencies took over,” Ruf explained.“When we see there is a need we try to fill it.” NATIONAL PROGRAMS IODE chapters initiate programs locally as well as support national programs to help improve the quality of life for all Canadians.“In Labrador, we have a program called the Snack Pack program, where the children get breakfast every morning at school.We also sent them school material, art equipment, whatever is needed,” Ruf said proudly.“We give bursaries to high schools and universities.We support the arts.We support our local schools, local organizations, girl guides, boy scouts.We have a swim project here in Stanstead where young children can go to summer camp and learn how to swim.We support our local library.We help the elderly and shut-ins.We’re involved with Meals On Wheels by volunteering and delivering.There’s a lot of little things.” At IODE, small feats make for great accomplishments.Ruf said one of the problems facing Canadian teenagers is substance abuse.“This is a big problem in Labrador, Davis Inlet, and something was needed to be done,” she said.‘We initiated a program called Peers Helping Peers, we financed it, it’s initiated nationally.It’s teens talking to teens about their problems and experiences.We just found out at our annual meeting in Prince Edward Island that since the program has started, there was not one suicide.” SUCCESS Ruf said with its success in Labrador, they are investigating the feasibility of launching a similar program nationwide.The other “little things” volunteer members of IODE do include providing baby carriages and monitors to halfway houses such as Montreal’s Baffin House for Inuit people, donating medical equipment to hospitals, and musical instruments and sports equipment to remote communities, helping to preserve heritage sites and giving English lessons to new Canadians.Collectively, the 9,000 members of IODE chapters across the country raise and distribute $3 million a year.The organization does not receive government funds.Monies are raised through a variety of inventive events — from growing and selling geraniums to running a dinner theatre.Last year members gave 1,053,879 volunteer hours for the benefit of their communities.BAZAAR AND TEA Locally, Stanstead members hold a bazaar and tea in Sep- tember as their main fundraiser.“We also have a meeting every month at the home of one the members, and people bring things to auction off or to sell to members, and we always raise some money that way.” Ruf said the 45-member Stanstead chapter works with a budget of around $3-to-5,000,of which 90 per cent remains in the community, with the rest earmarked for national IODE programs.The IODE has 114 members across Quebec and a number of chapters, including those in Montreal, the Gaspé, Stanstead and Sherbrooke.Ruf said they are always looking for new members and women who join will find themselves enriched personally.“It’s a great opportunity not only to make friends, but to develop and grow,” she said enthusiastically.“You develop skills, leadership skills.Whatever talent you have, you can develop it, and you can also discover talents you never knew you had.” Over the past nine years, Ruf has gone far in the organization.Starting out as the treasurer of the now-defunct Magog chapter, she has held a variety of positions including a stint serving as a national officer, helping to run the entire organization.Ruf is concerned about children everywhere, not just in her own country.She is also part of the Canadian Relief Fund for Chernobyl Victims in Belarus and is hosting a 10-year-old Russian girl named Alessia, one of 16 visiting the Townships this summer, victims of the world’s worst nuclear accident which took place on April 26, 1986.As for the youth at home, Ruf said there is still a lot to be done.“What I would like to see is really getting effective with stay-in-school programs and substance abuse programs because the children are our future and we have to really concentrate on getting our future generations on the right track.” If you would like to join the IODE, or receive further information, call Ursula Ruff at (819) 876-7326.H' - «SVA '\Srv% * / 8 PEJRTIuPdlTIOn The movement tor active, healthy living The RECORD—Tuesday, July 16, 1996—5 Townships ‘The finger painting is the

Stans-tead Journal on July 3, and We Are Number One!, in July 9’s Record reminds us of Canada’s role in international peacekeeping.It brings to mind one of our own long-unsung heroines of peacemaking.Julia Grace Wales, daughter of Dr.Benjamin Nathaniel Wales and his wife Emma Osgood, was bom and brought up in Bury, Que.She attended McGill University and graduated with a BA degree in 1903.After further studies at the University of Toronto in 1909 Miss Wales joined the Department of English of the University of Wisconsin as an assistant.There she received her Doctor’s Degree in 1926, and was promoted to Assistant Professor of English in 1927-8.She remained with the English Department of the University of Wisconsin until her retirement in 1947, when she returned to the family home in St.Andrews East, Que.Miss Wales’ thirty-eight-year teaching career at Wisconsin was temporarily interrupted during World War I.She was one of about fifty North American women who braved an Atlantic crossing in April 1915, at a time when ships were often torpedoed and sunk without warning.Members of the Women’s Peace Party recently formed in Washington, D.C., these women were so dedicated to their mission that they gave little thought to personal safety.They were responding to an invitation from British, Dutch and Belgian women to attend an International Congress of Women at The Hague, Holland.Its purpose was to protest war and find ways to maintain peace.Julia Grace Wales had proposed a mediation plan that was passed by the Wisconsin legislature and sent to the American Congress.Now she would attend the Hague Congress as delegate from the University of Wisconsin.Berry's World MORE HEADS WILL ROLL Among Miss Wales’ follow travellers were such notables as Jane Addams, social work pioneer and founder of Hull House in Chicago, who was to preside at the Hague Congress, Dr.Alice Hamilton, A pioneer in the field of industrial medicine, who had studied in Germany and spoke Germany fluently, and Emily Greene Balch, an economics professor whose work with immigrants would later win her the Nobel Peace Prize.Safely arrived at the Hague, the North American women joined 1500 European women, many of whom had braved public scorn (pacifism is not popular during wartime) and dangerous travel conditions to attend the Congress.It has been called ‘a masterpiece of organization’ for in spite of the large number of people attending, and the variety of languages, the Congress succeeded in passing twenty resolutions urging the governments of the world to put an end to bloodshed and to begin negotiations for permanent peace.Foremost among these resolutions was Julia Grace Wales’ proposal for ‘a continuous mediating conference of neutral nations.’ Immediately after the Hague Congress, Miss Wales and other delegates visited government officials throughout Europe to present the Wales plan and and to urge that a conference of neutral nations be called.They were well received in fourteen European capitals.Officials of combatant nations as well as those of neutrals expressed interest in the plan, but none dared take the first step toward carrying it out.Although they were unable to overcome the forces of imperialism and militarism that prevailed at that time, Julia Grace Wales and her colleagues continued to work for peace.In 1919 they held a second Congress in Zurich, Switzerland, and organized The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom.They established headquarters at Geneva, Switzerland, and helped found the League of Nations, forerunner of the United Nations.Cruelly disappointed by the resumption of hostilities in World War II, Julia Grace Wales did live to witness that war’s end, and the founding, in 1945, of The United Nations which would implement many of the principles she had worked for.She passed away in July 1957.Although world leaders have failed to eradicate war completely, we can be justifiably proud of our Julia Grace Wales, whose efforts favorably influenced international relations throughout this century, and helped pave the way for a more humane world.MARY JEAN BEAN Mrs.Mary J.Bean of North Hatley is a great-grandmother, retired teacher and former president of the North Hatley Historical Society.Letter to the Editor Once again the price Dear Mr.Bury, First and foremost, I have to say how lucky we are to have a daily ENGLISH newspaper, and a GOOD one.I’ve grown up with the “Sherbrooke Record” (the Record) and would find a big part of my daily routine missing if it wasn’t coming in to read each day.When I was a young girl growing up in Bromptonville, my dad had to read his paper every night.We looked forward as children and fought over who was going to get it next to read the ‘funnies,’ (comics).In those days it was ‘Maggie & Jiggs’, the ‘Bumsteads,’ etc.On the weekend there was a special coloring page for kids.It was a great disappointment to see that once again the price is going up for this paper.As you explained, costs are going up, and I realize this to be true, but where does it end?You kinda have us English folk ‘over a barrel’.If we want to have an English daily local paper, we HAVE to come up with this kind of money, to have it.Yet, if we want to get the results of the Lotto draws, we can’t open up our $100 + per year paper to get them?Tickets were given as Father’s Day gifts for the recent Millionaire lotto of five daily draws for $1 million.I had to buy the Journal de Montréal @ $1.82 just to find these out.Why did you have to stop?I know, it was to costly, yet there are many who buy all those lottos on daily basis — Banco, etc., and cannot check them out from their ENGLISH daily paper.I know of many who were quite upset that you stopped printing the lotto results.Now that I’ve mentioned a couple “florals” and my disappointment, before I end I’d like to question why on Earth people are so crazy (if that’s a good word to describe it) to pay $15 to have a person’s picture put in the paper, wishing them a ‘special’ birthday, yet NOT mention their name?I find it interesting to see a person’s baby picture or wedding picture in some cases, but for those of us who have a book of clippings, it would make it more interesting to know who the subject is.Thanks for allowing me the space to voice my opinions, however ridiculous they may seem to some of your readers.BARBARA E.HARVEY Dunham EDITOR’S NOTE: Dear Mrs.Harvey, Thanks for the letter; it’s always nice to hear from old friends of the Record and you is going up are indeed one.In reply to your complaints, from the bottom up: I quite agree with you about the birthday pictures, and we always print the names when they are included.The Record didn’t drop Loto Quebec — they dropped us, a few years ago when they decided not to bother any more with small newspapers.There was quite a fuss over it at the time and one of our MNAs even tried to help.It’s not an English-French thing; they dropped Le Devoir at the same time.As for the prices, newspapers are becoming more expensive all over the planet.That’s because the paper mills can’t see that they’ve become their own worst enemy, with huge price increases that have made all newspapers smaller and put some of them out of business altogether.So I don’t think it’s quite right to say that we at the Ifecorefkinda have us English folk ‘over a barrel’.In fact we sometimes feel a bit like we’re inside that barrel looking out, and trying like heck to keep it from going over the falls.Thanks again for writing.— C.B. The RECORD—Tuesday, July 16, 1996—7 Farm and Business Means more delays direct-to-home service here U.S.regulators dismiss Canadian satellite plan WASHINGTON (AP-CP) — U.S.regulators have dismissed a plan by Telesat Canada and two American companies to beam TV programs into the United States and Canada from satellites that would occupy Canadian-authorized orbits.The Federal Communications Commission rejected the applications, saying the companies’ proposals were premature.“Canada has not licensed the satellites the applicants seek to use and, in fact, we have no assur- ance that the space stations will be licensed,” said Don Gips, acting chief of the commission’s international department.While the commission’s action is a setback for the U.S.companies’ plans to get into the direct-broadcast satellite business, it does not preclude them from refiling the applications to the U.S.regulator.Telesat said the project — which also would allow Ex-pressVu Inc.to finally launch its much-delayed direct-to-home sat- Is company Canadian or not?Officials unsure about MCA ruling By Vic Parsons OTTAWA (CP) — California-based entertainment giant MCA may not be entitled to benefit from federal cultural programs even though it has been declared a Canadian-controlled company.An Industry Canada ruling has found that control of MCA, purchased in 1995 by Montreal-based Seagram Inc., rests in Canada.That raises the question of whether MCA, a producer of films, TV shows, videos, books and recorded music, can benefit from federal incentives to boost Canadian culture and can buy up companies that are now protected from foreign ownership.Canadian Heritage Department officials will investigate the issues over the next few weeks.“Even if MCA is deemed to be Canadian, that doesn’t mean the company would be automatically eligible for Canadian government support or other benefits flowing from that determination,” Duncan Dee, press aide to Heritage Minister Sheila Copps, said Monday.“The key thing is that MCA hasn’t made any plans public that we know of on what it plans to do with its status,” Dee added.Industry officials were also not sure what impact the decision would have.“Without doubt, it has the potential down the road to create a new dynamic in our business,” said Brian Chater of the Canadian Independent Record Producers’ Association.He suggested it could mean MCA could buy Canadian firms without getting Industry Canada approval.“Theoretically, if you qualify as Canadian, you qualify as Canadian, and therefore you should have access to all the various cultural funds in film, music or TV.That said, it’s hard to evaluate.” Jacqueline Hushion, executive director of the Canadian Book Publishers’ Council, said her group had not spent much time looking at the issue.“I’m not sure anybody does (know the implications) because of the complexity of these corporate structures now.” All y o it can eat !

Canada — has only been delayed, not killed.“Our direct broadcast satellite ventures are essential for consumers on both sides of the border and we remain confident of their ultimate approval,” Telesat president Larry Boisvert said in a release from Ottawa.“The FCC is telling us that we have to get the final go-ahead from the government of Canada.That’s exactly what we plan to do.” Under the plan, an affiliate of ca- ble giant Tele-Communications Inc.signed a deal with TelQuest Ventures to offer direct broadcast ' satellite service in the United States and Canada through satellites owned by TCI but operated by Telesat Canada.Telesat would have launched two TCI satellites into Canadian slots in space.The New York company would then use most of the satellites’ capacity to beam programming into U.S.homes, but ExpressVu would also get some of the space to launch its Canadian direct-to-home service, likely next year.Several U.S.agencies objected to the Telesat plan because of concerns that Canadian satellite, telephone and broadcasting rules discriminate against American and other foreign companies trying to operate in Canada.The Justice Department, the U.S.Trade Representative’s Office, the Commerce Department and the State Department had urged the commission to hold off on the applications at least until Canada's government had acted.“Getting out is expensive” - CP president CP’s death would be really costly By Sandra Rubin TORONTO (CP) — Cash-strapped Canadian newspapers could be forced to fork over more than $45 million if they close down The Canadian Press at the end of this year.“Getting out is expensive,” CP president David Jolley said after a key directors meeting Monday.There arc over $45 million in contractual obligations.” The directors were told that the 88 newspapers that make up the national news agency would have to bear the cost of honoring contracts and leases as well as severance packages for CP's 350 fulltime employees.The 79-year-old co-operative has been facing collapse since Southam Inc., which paid $7.2 million for CP services this year, gave notice late last month that it intends to pull out its 18 papers effective Dec.31.Southam, which lost $53 million last year, simultaneously announced it plans to expand and aggressively sell its own news service.The other member newspapers in CP also handed in their notice to avoid being left alone to foot the bill for windup.Most directors were tight-lipped about what went on in Monday's private session.“It was a good meeting,” said Michael Sifton, chairman of Sterling Newspapers Ltd., which runs the Canadian papers owned by Conrad Black's Hollinger Inc.“I’ve committed to silence,” Gordon Fisher, vice-president editorial of Southam, said as he brushed past a crush of reporters on his way out.But another board member, who asked not to be identified, called the mood in the meeting room “-serious — at times grim.” He said members were “stunned” by the $45 million bill.“There was shock around the entire room.” The fate of CP is “very much up in the air at this moment in time,” said Jolley, a former Tor-star Corp.senior executive brought in to trim the service’s costs.He was working on a plan to chop about $7 million off the $26 million in annual fees CP’s member newspapers pay for the service when hit with the Southam bombshell.Newspapers have been calling for reductions because the lingering recession has hit ad lineage while soaring newsprint costs have taken a big bite out of the bottom line.Jolley said the plan calls for a basic core service with a limited number of stories every day.Members would pay extra for optional stories as well as photos and graphics.That would save newspapers quite a bit of money — over 50 per cent in the case of some of the smaller dailies.Jolley said the papers will have to decide if that’s enough.Sheib'ooke STUDENTS DAY g IN ENTERPRISE < Tile Canada Employment Centre (ne Student, nanti, team and the Cliam.g ber of commerce

beyond burgers for kid friendly barbecues have to throw the cover over their barbecues to cook up simple, nutritious and well-balanced meals.Pam Collacott, writer, broadcaster and author of the

strawberries or even blueberries, wrapping them in foil and throwing them on the barbecue for a simple, tasty dessert served over ice cream.Collacott says it helps to get children involved in preparing the food, slicing up vegetables, wrapping potatoes in foil or “helping” parents turn the main course on the grill.“If you can involve them in the preparation you've got a much better chance of getting them to eat it,” she says.“And it’s fun for them too.” Food writer Julia Aitken says one sure-fire way of keeping kids happy with the output of your bar- becue is to use it for desserts.“A lot of people don’t realize you can do dessert on a barbecue — and what kid doesn’t like dessert,” she says.“It’s as simple as putting some chunks of fruit on a kebab, putting it on the grill and just brushing it with some orange juice and cinnamon.” And cooking almost everything on the barbecue allows kids to get involved in preparing an entire meal.Barbecues can also yield a surprising variety of lunch and snack foods, Aitken says.“Things like quesadillas or fajitas can be adapted to the barbecue,” she says.“Mexican foods are popular with a lot of children.I’ve found.Kids love things they can eat with their fingers.” Daphna Rabinovitch, director of Canadian Living magazine’s test kitchen, recommends backyard chefs stay flexible when cooking for little ones.She says letting children make their own, personalized kebabs can be easy and fun.Put all ingredients like vegetables, mushrooms, mini-hamburger patties, or chunks of chicken into a big bowl and let the kids put them on the skewers themselves.“This works really well because at a certain age kids can be very, very fussy about what foods touch what other foods,” Rabinovitch says.But she says her first choice when barbecuing for children is spare ribs.“They can be cut into manageable portions and they’re messy — which kids love,” she says.“It’s a fabulous way of feeding little hands.” Treat tendinitis soon as possible Source: National Cherry Foundation 30th wedding anniversary Congratulations and best wishes to Alfred and Carol (Williams) Valliere of Fulford, Que., who are celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary on July 16.With love from Jerry, Janice, relatives and friends.By Dr.Mary Bezkor For The Associated Press This is the active time of the year — and for many people a time when a pleasant sporting activity can become painful because of the inflammatory condition called tendinitis.Tendons are tough, elastic bundles of fibre that attach muscles to bones.Tendinitis generally occurs through overuse of a tendon, and often because of poor preparedness for a sport.Tennis elbow (medically, epicondylitis) is one of the best-known forms of the condition.But it can be brought on by any repetitive motion, usually wrist flexing and extension and gripping activities.Even the twisting and turning of the forearm (in medical terms, pronation and supination) that occurs during work with tools can cause it.Runners may encounter it in the lower leg or the ankle, when the hamstring or Achilles tendon becomes inflamed.Advanced tendinitis also can also lead to the “frozen shoulder” that troubles many athletes.The first symptoms of tendinitis are pain and loss of function in a joint.As it progresses, the loss of mobility grows.It’s advisable for anyone who ex- periences the first symptoms consult a physician.to is The diagnosis of tendinitis usually made by questioning the patient about physical activities, accompanied by a physical examination of the affected area and by a test of the range of motion of the affected area.Sometimes an X-ray will be taken.Treatment often starts with application of heat to the area that hurts.Anti-inflammatory medications can also be given — often, over-the-counter drugs such as Aspirin or ibuprofen.In severe cases, a steroid may be injected into the inflamed area.Drilling holes in heart can help 78th birthday greetings treat disease, studies suggest Happy birthday to
