attempt to raise Irving Whale By Chris Morris CHARLOTTETOWN (CP) — A window of opportunity for raising the Irving Whale appears to be narrowly open and officials hope to proceed with the somewhat risky operation today.A fleet of 19 vessels with a total crew of approximately 300 people is in place above the spot in the Gulf of St.Lawrence where the oil barge sank during a storm 26 years ago.The barge has been oozing her cargo of bunker C oil ever since and with fhe added threat of roughly 7.2 tonnes of pure PCBs in her heating system, the Canadian government says it’s time to haul her out of there.Although the forecast for the next 48 hours looks good, Coast Guard officials say they need a calmer sea to begin the lift.‘We have to make a decision tomorrow morning,” project manager Capt.Bill Dancer of the Canadian Coast Guard told reporters Sunday.“We need the swell to go down and that should happen as the wind dies down.We’ll just have to wait and see.” The Irving Whale sank between the north shore of Prince Edward Island and the Iles de la Madeleine during a storm in 1970.The barge, roughly the length of a football field, carried 4,200 tonnes of oil in her holds, of which about 3,000 tonnes are left.An attempt was made last summer to lift the Whale, owned by New Brunswick-based Irving Oil Ltd., but it was delayed by bad weather.The lift was finally shelved for the year after a Quebec environmental group challenged the operation in court.The court case is finished and the project has the green light, but the weather has not co-operated through June and July.Once into August, generally regarded as the start of hurricane season, the weather gets even more unpredictable.It’s estimated there’s little more than two weeks left to raise the Whale and tow her to the Irving-owned Halifax shipyard, where she is to be pumped and, if possible, repaired See WHALE: Page 2 Rain on Rainer at the reins Olympic bomb investigation: No real suspects but plenty of leads developed.David Tubbs, an FBI spokesman, said information from the public enabled officials to produce composite sketches of possible suspects.He added: “We need to.determine the value of these leads before we go public.” Investigators are canvassing the public for witnesses to any suspicious individuals near the bombing site or near a public telephone, two blocks away, where a caller dialled 911 just minutes before the blast and said a bomb had been planted in the park.In Washington, U.S.deputy attorney general Jamie Gore-lick said authorities have “descriptions of people.We have information.We have very good leads.” But, she said: “We do not have a concrete suspect, as I would term it, right now.” Police are confident the mystery caller was a white male with no distinguishable accent and that points toward “homegrown” terrorism.Investigators also ran into some apparent dead-ends.A man in northern Georgia’s Whitfield County was questioned by the FBI after police were tipped he made suspicious statements about the bombing, the local sheriff said.But, said Sheriff Scott Chitwood: “There does not appear to be any connection.” In Atlanta, an unidentified man who described himself as a vendor was arrested for making what police said were “terroristic threats” against a hotel.Police said, however, they didn’t believe he was the See BOMB: Page 2

Associated Press.But while they focused on that theory, they had neither discounted the possibility of a Probers seek metal to prove TWA crash was no accident EAST MORICHES, N.Y.lP) — Investigators

searchers were “obviously interested in anything in the front of the aircraft that might include the cockpit area.” ATLANTA (AP-CP) — Investigators reported “very good leads” Sunday in the hunt for the Olympic bomber and the Georgia National Guard mobilized fresh troops to add muscle to the force protecting against a repeat attack.In Atlanta’s stadiums, arenas and streets, it was the Summer Games’ busiest day — the U.S.baseball team played Cuba, Olympic Stadium had a full track-and-field card and 86 women marathoners raced through a cheering city.Huge crowds, including more than 80,000 at the stadium, seemed undeterred by tougher security screening and fears of terrorism.“Incredible and patient crowds,” chief Olympic organizer Billy Payne called them, “-determined to enjoy their Olympic experience.” At downtown’s Centennial Olympic Park, experts were finishing up their investigative work at the concert stage that was the site of Saturday’s early-morning explosion of a pipe bomb.The popular, gathering place will reopen Tuesday with doubled security making random searches of bags, officials said.Of the 111 people injured in the attack, 15 remained in hospital Sunday, including three in critical but stable condition.The 1:25 a.m.blast killed , Alice Hawthorne, 44, of Albany, Ga., and led indirectly to the death of a Turkish cameraman who had a heart attack rushing to the scene.Authorities reported no claim of responsibility for the attack, no arrests and no suspects, although unconfirmed news reports said a composite sketch of a suspect has been Rainer Lowry

received immigrants for examination for more than half a century, says Agnes Keenan of Richmond, a St.Patrick’s Society representative and student of local history.Among those forced to stop in Grosse Ile were the grandparents of lifelong Richmond resident Mike O’Donnell, who came to Canada in 1844.Sixteen year-old Mary Gallagher and 21-year-old Micheal O’Donnell, who met on the ship from Ireland, were heading for the United States, but their ship was refused docking because of the many sick passengers aboard.The ship made its way to a Canadian port of entry and the O’Donnell family made its way to The Eastern Townships.Grosse Ile is most noted for the role it played in the influx of Irish immigrants during the potato famine in 1847, Keenan explained in an interview.Despite an epidemic of typhus, the Irish emmigrated in large numbers and endured a six to 12 week voyage crowded into the hulls of ships and suffering deplorable conditions.The crowded and unsanitary atmosphere on the ships only resulted in more typhus infection and thousands died at sea.Thousands more died while waiting to be allowed into the country, and more than 5000 are buried on Grosse Ile where a monument stands in their almost 20 years ago, crossing over to it by motorboat.He remembers being taken by the atmosphere of the place —its rocky terrain and the rundown condition of the site.Since that time, federal contractors have done much work on the buildings; there are a ferry and guided tours in season.Parks Canada is presently working to restore the buildings and clean up the grounds and in 1997 Grosse Ile will become an even bigger tourist attraction than it is at present.The Richmond St.Patrick’s Society is planning a trip to Grosse He.It is more than just a sightseeing expedition for Irish descendants like the Keenans and O’Donnells.It’s a pilgrimage of sorts to a place that holds not just historical anecdotes but family histories.Anyone interested in joining this group trip should

packages of pot all ready for re-sale.Brome Lake P.D.By Maurice Crossfield KNOWLTON — Brome Lake police raided a Knowlton home Friday afternoon, with the aim of putting at least one drug dealer out of business.The raid was aimed primarily at the activities of two women keep heat on drug dealers living on Elm Street who police say were selling marijuana and cocaine.At a briefing before the raid, the seven officers taking part in the raid went over the details.The first suspect was the owner of the home, the second an exotic dancer who rented a room.Brome Lake police were joined for this raid by a member of the Farnham police.Brome Lake chief Peter Stone explained after that local police forces are getting together more often for such operations, in which suspects’ activities often cross town lines.In many instances the Quebec Police Force doesn’t have the time or manpower to help out, so town cops go looking for other town cops.Joining forces also gives the municpal officers some extra experience.“In this case we’re into it more than they are,” said Stone, with Brome Lake town officials keen for a drug-free town.“We’ve been doing a lot together to remove the drug pushers from Brome Lake and Farnham.” At about 4:15 p.m.three cars pulled into the suspects’ yard.But much of the tension leading up to the raid proved to be unfounded, and the homeowner put up no resistance.Her tenant wasn’t at home.After the woman and her tee-naged son were taken in for questioning, police began the slow process of searching the home.No detail was left unchecked, from pants pockets to the lining

cases.But the big find Friday turned out to be a bag of marijuana measured out in one-gram foil wrappers — clear evidence of intent to sell the pot rather than just smoke it.Police estimate the value of the grass at about $400.“It was probably locally grown last year,” Stone said.“-Just the individual packages proves they’re trafficking.” On Sunday Stone said the woman and her son were later released.The woman will be charged by summons with trafficking marijuana.The suspect’s tenant showed up later Friday evening.Because no drugs were found in her room, she only faces charges relating to some outstanding traffic tickets.“In terms of busts this was one of the smallest we’ve done,” Stone said.But it did provide police with some more information about the case.Stone said police discovered the woman’s supplier works out of a neighboring municipality.That means Brome Lake police won’t be able to follow things much further.But Stone said the information has been passed on to the other police force.“A lot of these guys change towns, move around,” he said.‘That’s why it’s so important for us all to work together.” Townships Newport Township celebrates country-style 4—The

during the rains of the previous day.The community picnic featured an amateur woodsmen’s competition and an exhibition of antique farm equipment, while across the street at the town hall, residents could get a glimpse of the yesterdays of Newport Township.Burns said the historical exhibits proved extremely popular, especially among the anglophone families whose ancestors first settled the area.It was also a chance to relive some old memories.“I look at this and I say ‘this is my history,”’ Bums said.That history may change.The provincial government wants Newport Township to join with neighboring Sawyerville.That fusion could mean the loss of Newport’s bilingual status.Burns contends that the community, while small in population, is able to take care of itself.But for this weekend politics were set aside as everyone came out to celebrate their community.As Burns pointed out, the entire weekend was put together by an army of volunteers.‘Normally we’re spread out, with 150 people

shoreline protection By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — After a battle which lasted for more than two years, Stephen Hartley will finally be able to build a house on one of the two lots he owns on Darrah Road in West Brome.The final victory came Friday when only 13 voters signed the town registry to challenge a bylaw change which allows construction within 20 metres of the Yamaska River in the town of Brome Lake.Some 35 signatures would have been needed to force a referendum on the bylaw, explained Brome Lake mayor Homer Blackwood.Blackwood said Sunday he was pleased with the victory over a small group of dissidents, who had hoped to prevent construction on the property — the only two lots in the area which aren’t zoned for farm use only.“In my opinion, they were making a big mountain out of a molehill,” said Blackwood, adding that the opposition was led by a couple of people who do not even reside in the area.Until the amendment, which was passed by five out of six councillors, the required building setback was 35 metres from the river.That did not leave Hartley enough room to build.Standard setbacks in Quebec do not allow construction within 10 to 15 metres of any lake, river or other waterway.But environmental standards in Brome Lake far exceed the norm.Hartley, who complained last week that those opposing the change were spreading misinformation, told The Record he was pleased, but not surprised with the victory.“I was actually surprised there were that many people who voted against it,” he said.Hartley also commented on opponents who used environmental arguments to try and win their point.“I wonder if they are environmentally concerned, or if they are just anti-development,” Hartley said.“And I think that’s a cowardly thing to hide under.” Hartley, who has been described as a developer, said he only has one double lot on which he hopes to build a home for himself.He said he may sell the second lot later, if he finds someone who will develop it well.“I don’t think the town shoud discourage development,” he said.“I think they should discourage bad development.” Hartley said he was also disappointed about criticism of council which supported his request for an amendment to the setback regulation.Far from taking a hasty decision, he said councillors studied the change for two years, and many had visited the site.“I was pleased with the decisions and the manner in which council acted,” he said.“I think they made the right choice.” Fourth annual sheep dog trials a success Bishop’s goes to the dogs for Lennoxville 125th m -mm.; * By Maurice Crossfield LENNOXVILLE — Bishop’s University went to the dogs this weekend, as sheep dogs and their handlers gathered in Lennoxville for the fourth annual Eastern Townships Sheep Dog Trials.“It went so smooth, it’s unbelievable,” said organizer Dave Young.“We’ve had a good spectrum of people, from Texas to Albany.” Young said this year was bigger and better than ever, with 62 handlers and their border collies taking part on Saturday, and 57 taking part on Sunday.Young said the Lennoxville trials benefit from being scheduled close to a similar event being held this week in Ontario, where the top dog can win its owner up to $5000.Many of those taking part in Ontario made the trip east to Lennoxville, upping the level of competition.The Lennoxville trial is growing in popularity as a part of an officially sanctioned circuit of more than 70 trials each season in the U.S.and Canada, mainly associated with fairs and festivals.FIRST The first prize at Lennoxville this year went to Ontarian Amanda Milliken and her dog Boy.They took home about $225, plus a 40 pound bag of dog food for their efforts.Milliken also came in seventh with her other canine companion Hazel.Training competition-level dogs is no easy task.But for many of those taking part, it’s a labor of love.Young said he first got involved because he needed a dog.It Organizer Dave Young and his dog took part in the competition.was a border collie, and from then on Young was hooked on the art of training dogs to guide sheep wherever you want them to go.Young has been training border collies for seven years.He says most of a collie’s ability does not come from training.Instinct also plays a role.“The competition is open to any breed.But border collies excell at it,” Young said.Participants have nine minutes to complete the course, which involves guiding the sheep through a series of challenges, including hearding them into a small pen.They start out with 100 points and lose points for every error.SHOT IN ARM Young said this year’s trials were a part of the 125th anniversary celebration in Lennoxville, and that association gave the competition a much needed shot in the arm.“If it wasn’t for Lennoxville, we wouldn’t have been able to do this,” Young said.Here’s a list of winners: First place: Amanda Milliken and Boy; Second place: Salley Lacey and Bob; Third: Warren Mick and Tim; Fourth: Lena Bailey and Jen; Fifth: Bev Lambert and Lark; Sixth: Ivan Weir and Joe; Seventh: Amanda Milliken and Hazel; Eighth: Werner Reitbock and Meg; Ninth: Mike Canaday and Rob; Tenth: Ivan Weir and Chip.Amanda Milliken and her dogs Boy and Hazel managed to come in first and seventh place.People came from all over North America to take part in the trials.

Protecting consumers often a thankless job By Vic Parsons OTTAWA (CP) — Ideal consumer protectors need the wisdom of Solomon, the analytical skills of Sherlock Holmes, cars of bats and duck-like feathers that shed criticism from their backs.Alerting the public to potential dangers can be a tricky and thankless task, rampant with second-guessing.Each year, health and safety regulators sort through thousands of possible hazards.Accusations of being over-zealous inevitably arise.Suspect strawberries and menacing plastic mini-blinds are recent cases in point.Latest reports say strawberries were not the culprits in a continent-wide parasite scare and some retailers in Calgary are putting the lead-content blinds back on their shelves.Health protectors face a dilemma: Do they cut a hazardous product off at the pass, or do they wait for absolute proof that it is a peril?“In our alerts, we act on a precautionary basis,” says Rod Raphael of Health Canada’s product safety bureau.With the blinds, authorities did not have any Canadian evidence that the cheap imports caused elevated blood-lead levels in children.But there was American evidence that kids had ingested lead from the deteriorating surfaces of blinds."Wc felt we should act.We had the real situation where it exists somewhere else and you’re deal- ing with the Canadian situation as a precaution.” Product safety inspectors check out thousands of items each year trying to estimate the potential risk to consumers.Much of the focus is on flammability of clothing and children’s products.“The mini-blinds are an anomaly, because nobody had been thinking of them as a children’s product, but children do have access to them,” says Raphael.California-grown strawberries, believed by some U.S.authorities to carry the parasite cyclospora, posed another problem.Ontario health officials warned consumers to wash the berries, which caused alarm.The fallout is an estimated cost to producers, middlemen and retail- ers of $10 million.Some grocery stores yanked all berries off their shelves, others put up signs that they sold only Canadian-grown fruit and some simply advised cleaning the berries carefully.Later, American authorities decided strawberries were not the problem after all and shifted their focus to raspberries from Guatemala.The inability of governments in both Canada and the U.S.to agree on the hazard infuriates Dan Dempster of the Canadian Produce Marketing Association, who called the warnings “overkill” that set off hysteria.Dempster says he’d like to see some consistency among health authorities.“There were other indications that there weren’t linkages to the strawberries.Shouldn't there be a balanced approach before you issue a statement?” Even though the problem has passed, sales of berries continue to be sluggish.“This is the nature of a food scare,” says Max Roytenberg of the Canadian Council of Grocery distributors.“People ask why they should take that kind of risk.They just avoid that type of product altogether.” Roytenberg agrees governments have to err on the side of caution, but they also have a responsibility to research carefully.Its not a simple balancing act, he says.“Because if something happens, then you were wrong not to be more forceful.” Canadian exports awaken, but rest of economy lags By Sandra Rubin TORONTO (CP) — Canada’s slumbering export sector has awakened from its brief nap and is already breathing new life into the moribund economy.Royal Bank says in an economic forecast to be released today.Real exports, the engine driving growth in recent years, fell off 6.1 per cent in the first quarter of 1996.But the cheap Canadian dollar and a fast-paced U.S.economy are teaming up to provide just the jolt that’s needed.“Exports are going to kick some butt in the second quarter,” said Royal Bank economist John Ana-nia, who wrote the report.“It will start to moderate in the third and fourth quarter, although it’s still going to be robust.” He said exports of cars, car parts and industrial machinery will lead the charge as U.S.companies rush to restock dwindling inventories.The American economy is expect- ed to keep on sizzling this year with 2.4 per cent annual growth.And Canadian goods are a relatively cheap prospect for U.S.buyers with the loonie — which traded as high as 75.32 cents US in October — closing at 72.73 cents on Friday.But there’s more fizzle than sizzle in store for importers and companies that do all their business here at home — especially for battle-weary Canadian retailers.Royal Bank is forecasting the Canadian economy will grow just 1.6 per cent in 1996.Federal and provincial government spending cuts that are putting tens of thousands of Canadians out of work have spooked many people into putting off big expenditures.That’s dragging down prospects for a bigger rise in the gross domestic product.“You have to keep in mind that level of cuts we’re seeing on the government side is why we’re see- Anania said “Our numbers arc very similar,” said Patti Croft, chief economist at Canada Trust.“With the pickup in the U.S.economy we’re back to the same old story of a two-tiered economy, with most of the growth coming from the export side and the domestic economy continuing to be very lacklustre because of the job situation.“Cutbacks at the public level and the 10 per cent unemployment rate is going to keep consumers not in the mood to spend, despite low rates.” Anania said the slight pickup in consumer spending in the first quarter of this year is already drying up, as prospects for real wage increases are slim to non-existent.“In the second half of 1996, don’t expect to see stellar performance in consumer spending or retail sales,” he cautioned.“It’s just not going to get any better than it is now.It’s going to remain fairly stagnant.” Myriads of Raspberries Picking raspberries Is a family enjoyment Welcome to the ‘Raspberry •Kingdom’ with more

The ten visiting persons were billeted in several homes in the areas while other people as well, provided vehicles to transport them, etc.Those who shared their homes in the Knowlton/Creek charge were Gwyn Badger, Laura Allen, and Jamie Ratcliffe.Eleanor Archer, Alison Ingram, and Laura Humphries have travelled with the group for the complete trip.The Jamaican group consisted of Rev.Roy Dodman and Lissa Packer, the two adults.The young people were Theckla Sutton, Asharine Morgan, Peta-Gay Boyd, Venisha Lazarus, Shawn Richards, Franklin Clarke, Natalie Robinson and Tamara Steel.There were thirty-four people who sat down at the table for breakfast, and included some of the people in whose homes the visitors were billeted and also the Knowlton/Creek summer intern minister, George Moore, who had also accompanied the group on at least one of the events on their itinerary.The ladies had provided fruit juice, fruit salad, jams, marmalade, a variety of breads, mounds of piping hot pancakes, sausages and the companion to them, pitchers of maple syrup! Several small ones were on each table and one large one to replenish them, was on each of the three tables, as the ladies contemplated the youthful appetites many of our young people exhibit.Milk, tea and/or coffee was available and a large basket of oranges and apples was available to them by the door.These seemed to be a special treat to the visitors.Anna Eichenberger was the chef who made the variety of pancakes, oatmeal, banana, plain, etc.May Banks and Nancy Seaman helped with the cooking and had been with Anna since early in the morning, setting tables, etc.Douglas Banks and Don Seaman were also lending a hand.Other ladies arrived to help, a bit later.Again, it was a pleasant time of working together with much bantering and laughter enjoyed while the hands and feet were busy! Some of the Jamaican group as well as others who had also participated were feeling the aftereffects of having climbed to the top of Sutton mountain the day before! This day, Tuesday, was to be a busy one, also! After the breakfast, the eight young people as a group sang their thank-you song, in harmony without accompaniment.Heather Webster gave a brief explanation and information pertaining to this event and introduced Lissa Parker to those who may not have attended any of the other functions where the group had already been.Lissa, on behalf of the group, expressed thanks and appreciation, also sharing some of the experiences they've had.Again the plef.sant, welcoming atmosphere of the Creek church was commended! Rev.Roy Dodman also expressed thanks, then asked for one of the young Jamaicans to lead in Birchton Muriel Prescott Melanie, Jim, Sarah and David Leonard of Abbotsford, B.C., spent a two week holiday at the home of Melanie’s parents, Serena and Gilbert Wintle.While here they attended the wedding of Lesley Wintle and James Brock.Melanie was a bridesmaid and soloist for her sister.While here the Leonards visited other relatives and neighbors and attended Canada Day in Bury and Hatley.Gayle Donald and children Brock and Kelsey and Kevin Win-tie of St.Catharines spent several days at the Wintle home and attended the Wintle-Brock wedding.Lesley Wintle and James Brock were married in St.Paul’s Anglican Church in Bury.Que., on Saturday, July 6 followed by a reception at Dewhurst Hall, Bishop’s University.Lesley and Jim returned to Birchton on Sunday for lunch and were joined by several members and friends to share the opening of gifts with them.Jim’s parents, Joyce and Harvey Brock, and sisters Sharon and Brenda were present.George, Susan, James and Jonathan Townsend spent some time with them before returning to their home in Smiths Falls, Ont.Serena and Gilbert were happy to have all their family together with the exception of one son-in-law (Gayle’s husband) who is recovering from surgery.a farewell prayer.As in any group there were no volunteers so Tamara Steel was chosen and expressed a beautiful, heartfelt prayer.Soon it was discovered that there was not room enough to transport everyone and the luggage, so Douglas Banks decided he was free that day, used his van and had a trip to Bishopton., It must have been quite an adventure for both groups of young people to visit another country in this way! Different culture, different living accommodations, etc.At first, the visitors did not know what the contents of the several darker pitchers was; however, they soon tried it when it was explained that it was maple syrup made from the maple dees in the area.In fact, it was made from trees in the middle section of the wooded area which extends from Foster almost to the back door of the church, on the farms on the left side of the road as you drive to the church from Foster.There was not literally “rivers of maple syrup” but there was plenty to make the pancakes “swim-in”, if anyone so desired.There were pancakes etc., left and were frozen, then the congregation enjoyed them after the worship service Sunday morning, July 7th during the coffee hour.First school day Happy 40th Birthday Valerie Dymond On Sunday, August 4, the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs are organizing a day of social activities at the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs Senior Citizens’ Residence, known as the Edith Kathan Home in West Brome.A church service will be held at 11 a.m.followed by a barbecue dinner and social activities.The event is open to the residents, members of the fraternity and friends.The Edith Kathan Home presently has 9 residents, the maximum number permitted by the Quebec Government.The Home has been in operation since 1953 and has proven to be a haven of security, comfort and contentment for its residents.The Independent Order of Odd Fellows throughout Canada and the United States own and operate 80 Senior Citizen Residences and Senior Citizens Highrise Apartment Buildings.Further information may be obtained from your local Odd Fellows and Rebekah Lodges or by writing to the Grand Secretary, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, 489 St.Joseph, La Tuque, Que., G9X 1M7.Wilhelm Loken Grand Secretary 10—The RECORD—Monday, July 29, 1996 Arts and Entertainment World beat.Four days of international music graced downtown Sherbrooke this weekend during the third annual Festival des Rythmes du Monde.On hand were a variety of bands including the Quebec-based African band Takadja, with its incredible dancers, music and costumes; Raoul, a Gypsy and klesmer-style band that had jazz fans tingling ; and Errol Blackwood, who brought his Jamaican Reggae sounds and even staged an impromptu jam session at a nearby bar.m 3 VO l 0s Sherbrooke fuir A Real Family Event!

That puts South’s lost game bonus into proper perspective.©1996 by NEA, Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER wishes are extended for a fast recovery from all of us who know Dot.Magog’s Maurice Legault is on the

heads to nationals Sports Dodgers By Kareem Fahmy Record Correspondent ASCOT — After 12 days of exciting competition, on Saturday the hosting Lennoxville-Ascot Dodgers captured a 6-3 win in extra innings over the Valleyfield all-star team to become the 1996 Little League Junior Division provincial champions.The Dodgers leave Tuesday to represent Quebec at the National Junior Division Championships in Lethbridge, Alberta.After Valleyfield’s 10-0 loss against the Dodgers in Wednesday’s semifinal, they fell to the loser’s bracket where they defeated Verdun 6-3 on Thursday to advance to the final.A sudden and intense rain storm hit just before the start of Saturday’s game at Belvédère Park in Ascot.Volunteers worked to get excess water off the field, causing almost an hour’s delay.As the players finally took to the field, the Dodger’s Dany Gagnon, facing Valleyfield pitcher Jonathan Auger, started things off with a single.Moving quickly Gagnon was able to steal second then third, putting himself in position to score the Dodgers’ first run.Jason Boyer singled to bring Gagnon in.Valleyfield did not fare so well in their first chance at bat.The Dodger’s first, second, and third basemen worked well together to get the first two outs and then pitcher Boyer threw his first strikeout.As the team’s readied for the second inning, the skies opened up again and umpire Gery Dubé called another rain delay.Spectators scurried for their cars and players huddled in the dugouts for over 30 minutes.After the delay neither team was able to put things together to score any runs in the second.It was in the third that things picked up.Dany Goupil and Gagnon singled, Patrick Boisvert doubled and on a huge double by Pascal Ellyson both Gagnon and Boisvert crossed down rivals in championship game mSwë JUNIOR ¦ the plate for two more Dodgers’ runs.Valleyfield rallied in the third, and with two outs managed to score a run.This was the first run scored against Lenn-Ascot in the entire tournament.Energized by their run, Valleyfield held the Dodgers scoreless in the fourth, but Lenn-Ascot got retribution by doing the same.The fifth inning was another bland one, only notable for Gagnon’s third single of the game, yet neither team was able to score.It was in the sixth that Valleyfield picked up the pace.They managed to score two runs on two hits, bringing the game to a 3-3 tie with the Dodgers, who, by this time, were beginning to look tired.In the top of the seventh inning, the Dodgers put a valiant effort into getting a lead over their competitors.Despite hard work by Goupil, Gagnon, and Boisvert, they could not manage a run.It was up to Boyer in the bottom of the seventh to keep Valleyfield scoreless and force extra innings.Boyer’s arm and the quick thinking of catcher Boisvert were too much for Valleyfield and they too could not score.Starting off the extra inning, the Dodgers wasted no time in baring their teeth.They moved quickly and took advantage of some crucial Valleyfield errors to score three runs to put Valleyfield in the hole.Boyer’s determination was fierce and he chose the eighth inning to record his 11th and 12th strikeouts, holding Valleyfield scoreless and giving the Dodgers their 6-3 victory.An ecstatic Lenn-Ascot crowd cheered as the players were presented with their medals and then as coaches Yvan Maurais and Carl Drouin received the provincial championship banner and trophy.Maurais praised his team for coming through in what he called “the first real game of this tournament.” “It was stressful for them,” Maurais

game — a key defensive play and a clutch hit.“I’m just trying to contribute wherever I can,” Smith said after the St.Louis Cardinals beat the Montreal Expos 6-4 Sunday.Smith made a heads-up play to shut down the Expos early, then singled home the go-ahead run in the eighth inning.“I feel like those plays are the kind of made pretty consistently throughout my 19-year career,” the 41-year-old shorts- top said.With Moises Alou at second base and two outs in the fourth, Rondell White singled into the hole.As he fielded the ball, Smith said he noticed Alou had rounded third base by a wide margin.“I saw how far he went past the base and thought I had a good chance to get him,” Smith said.Smith threw to third base-man Gary Gaetti, who tagged out Alou to end the inning.The score was tied at 3 when i pinch-hitter Luis Alicea drew a leadoff walk from Pedro Martinez (8-6) in the Cardinals eighth and stole second.With one out, Smith blooped his , single to centre-field.The Cardinals added two ! more runs in the inning on RBI singles by Brian Jordan and pinch-hitter Mark Sweeney.Martinez struck out 10 and allowed five hits in 7 1-3 innings.Martinez credited Smith the victory.“His defence and his offence were the keys to the game,” he said.Expos manager Felipe Alou said he let Martinez start the eighth because that has been a troublesome inning for his team.“The three runs they got in the eighth killed us,” Alou said.“It seems like we’ve been having trouble getting through the eighth for the last few years.” The Expos went 5-7 on a 12-game trip, their longest of the season.Dennis Eckersley relieved to start the ninth with a 6-3 lead and gave up a first-pitch home run to Shane Andrews.Cliff Floyd doubled and Mark Grudzielanek walked before Eckersley got an out.Tony Fossas also got one out before T.J.Mathews, the Cardinals’ seventh pitcher, came in with two on.Jordan made a running catch in the right-field corner on Alou’s fly, giving Mathews his fourth save.Mark Petkovsek (7-2) got two outs in the eighth for the victory.John Mabry and Gary Gaetti hit home runs that gave the Cardinals a 3-2 lead.% V Sports 16—The RECORD—Monday, July 29, 1996 North Hatley rower fourth in men’s eight final Stevenson’s Olympic hopes run aground §KII!I • •• ; .fWrm i JmM $$ *.¦ Greg Stevenson’s Olympic dream ended on Sunday in men’s eight final.By Robert Matheson SHERBROOKE - A fraction of a second is all that separated Greg Stevenson from an Olympic medal Sunday.And it has left the North Hatley rower pondering his future.After putting in years of hard work and struggling to return to rowing after a serious back injury, it was a bitter pill for Stevenson to swallow Sunday night, some six hours after the Canadian men’s eight crew finished fourth in the Olympic final, a mere third of a boat behind bronze-medal winning Russia.“I’m disappointed with fourth place, but don’t get me wrong, everybody put their all into that race,” Stevenson said.Stevenson wanted to taste Olympic glory so much that he literally rowed until he was ill.“I attacked and I attacked over and over again and with 500 metres to go I was on my last legs, but 1 managed to attack one last time.I was dead at the end,” Stevenson told The Record during a phone interview from Georgia.Stevenson spent the next 30 minutes throwing up and struggling to bring his heart rate back down to normal.“It was a combination of heat exhaustion, dehydration and giving a maximum effort.The same thing happened to me in Barcelona." Stevenson eventually recovered by ingesting a lot of fluids.The Canadians entered Sunday’s final full of confidence.Stevenson said.He said the team managed to maintain their focus after winning their repechage heat and despite constant transportation problems and the tragic bombing in Centennial Olympic Park early Saturday morning.“We felt very, very strong.We didn’t feel good about our first 1000 metres in the first race, but we regrouped and had a great repechage," he said.“We had meetings every night to maintain our focus.There was so much going on that you have to narrow your focus down.” The Dutch crew won the 2000-metre race quite handily, but Stevenson and the Canadians expected to battle the United States, Germany and Russian for the other medals.“I was quite confident that we could win a medal, unfortunately our best race of the year wasn’t good enough for a medal,” Stevenson said.“Germany and Russia were just too strong.We basically put everything out on the line and didn’t have anything left.” Although he told The Record in April that these Olympics would be his “grand finale”, Stevenson was singing a slightly different song Sunday.“1 put my heart and soul into it the last couple of years.It’s been exhilarating, but the results haven’t been good enough to keep me interested.” he said.But Stevenson didn’t rule out making a comeback similar to double medallist Kathleen Heddle.Heddle was talked out of retirement earlier this year by Marnie McBean and the duo won gold in the double sculls Saturday, and bronze in Sunday’s quadruple sculls.Canada also picked up silvers in the men’s lightweight fours and women’s eights on Sunday.Not being part of Canada’s medal haul has left Stevenson feeling empty.“I’m going to have to get my career on track, something that brings in more money than rowing,” he said “But I didn't obtain my goal and 1 don’t like to leave anything without achieving my goals.” So the Townshippers who cheered on the local boy in Sunday’s race may get to do it again four years from now w'hen Sydney, Australia hosts the next Summer Olympics.“I would just like to say a big thank you to all my supporters back home.It really means a lot to me that everyone gets that much of a charge from seeing me race,” said Stevenson, adding that he received a couple dozen faxes from "people 1 hadn't seen in years” wishing him luck.But for now Stevenson will put rowing and the Olympics behind him.He w ill be leaving Atlanta today to take his wife, Corinna, on a well deserved holiday.Canada’s rowing coach offered Australian job By Neil Stevens GAINESVILLE, Ga.(CP) — Rowing Canada is going to do all it can to keep head coach Brian Richardson, who is being lured by an offer of the head coach’s job in his native Australia.“We’d certainly like to keep him,” says Doug Hamilton, the former oarsman and Toronto lawyer in charge of high-performance programs.“We’d let him out of his contract early if he wants out early, but he’s already told us he’s committed to us and that even if he did leave he’d make sure we were in good shape before he left.” Richardson’s contract runs through March 1997.The fact the 2000 Summer Games will be in Australia is prompting that country’s sport officials to go out and recruit coaches such as the Australian-born Richardson.Hamilton said Richardson informed him of the offer before the Olympics and the two agreed to discuss it after the Games.The rowing competition ended Sunday with Canadians producing three more medalwinning performances — silver in men’s lightweight fours and women’s eights, and bronze in women’s quadruple sculls.That increased Canada’s total to six, matching the previous Olympics rowing best achieved in 1984 in Los Angeles.On Saturday, Marnie McBean of Toronto and Kathleen Heddle of Vancouver won gold in women’s doubles to become the first Canadians in any sport to own three gold Olympic medals.They were also in the quad on Sunday, giving them four Olympic medals each.Also Saturday, Victoria scullers Silken Laumann and Derek Porter won silver, which was the best result for Canada in single sculls.“We got enough silver this weekend to have a dinner party,” quipped Richardson.All 10 Canadian entries finished among the top seven in their events.Eight boats made it to finals.The only real disappointment was that three-time world lightweight doubles champs Wendy Wiebe of St.Catharines, Ont., and Colleen Miller of Matlock, Man., weren’t in their final.It wasn’t their fault either.Wiebe was ill with a virus last week.SUPPORT ÜÜUR LOCAL SPORT ACTAK Richardson, 48, was a coach on Australia’s national team when Canada won five medals, including four gold, at the 1992 Olympics.When he was named Canadian head coach, the pressure to match the Barcelona bonanza was immense.“I’ve had a fabulous time in Canada and I love what I’ve done here,” Richardson said in t :sclosing the Aussie offer as boats and oars were being packed.“It’s been great.“So, it won’t be an easy decision.There’s some pressure from family to go back to Australia, obviously.It’s a decision I’ll be making in the next couple of weeks.” Said Hamilton: “We’ll try to
