advocates say By Maurice Crossfield BROMONT - A Victoriaville trucker is lucky to be alive after his truck flipped over on Autoroute 10 near Bromont early Thursday morning.The accident closed off the westbound lane of Autoroute 10 for nearly seven hours as repair crews cleaned up the mess.Traffic was diverted through the exit and entrances of the westbound lane.Marc Pellerin, who owns EYL Trasnsport, was travelling west when he says he dozed off and went onto the soft shoulder of the road.When he tried to pull the tractor-trailer back onto the pavement his load of newsprint shifted, flipping the truck over on the curve at the Bromont Boulevard exit.As the truck was flipping over it grazed a passing car and clipped the mirror of another transport truck that was also trying to pass.Pellerin emerged unharmed from the wreckage when the truck and its 45,000-pound cargo finally came to a stop.But Pellerin’s truck and trailer were completely demolished.That adds up to a $35,000 to $40,000 loss for Pellerin and a loss of an additional $110,000 in ruined newsprint.The newsprint was insured.In an interview several hours after the 5:15 a.m.accident, Pellerin said the trip was his first for the Windsor-based Domtar paper plant.But the trip was delayed when Pellerin’s truck needed repairs.His truck was not ready until 2 a.m.Thursday morning and Pellerin then headed for Windsor.He left the Domtar plant, bound for Indiana at about 4 a.m.An hour later, Pellerin, who has 10 years of truck-driving See Page 2 other members of the CPAA, postal employees, entrepreneurs, and citizens, held the meeting with Bernier last night to raise awareness of the importance of post offices to communities in his riding.“Post offices are essential to these communities,” Choquette explained.“They are the driving forces of our economies because everyone uses them.If any more offices close, business could be in jeopardy.” The CPAA is concerned that the federal government may end a self-imposed See page 2 Truck driver Marc Pellerin was falling asleep at the wheel when he lost control of his truck near Bromont.(CPAA) met with Megantic-Compton-Stanstead Bloc MP Maurice Bernier Thursday in an effort to save rural post offices from possible extinction.The CPAA is meeting with MPs from rural ridings and organizing public forums to discuss how closures of rural post offices will affect businesses and residents in those communities.“Over 200 rural post offices have been closed since 1986,” said Bernard Choquette, a director of the CPAA.“It is important to find out how these closures are affecting business.” Choquette, along with By Tracey-Lee Batsford Special to The Record SHERBROOKE -

will turn out to be exactly what you need.As I baked for a small tea party on the weekend, I searched to find just the right instrument to cut out tiny tea biscuits.Finally, I came across the perfect tool saved from the late 1960’s when Russell’s dad was hospitalized.A plastic pill dish used todispense his medication.The size was perfect.It was also suitable for creating oval-shaped biscuits given its flexibility.Over the years, these pill cups have served many a different purpose.They have been watering pails in the children’s play farms, and they’ve held water to rinse out tiny paint brushes, COMMISSION:— among other things.For generations, the philosophy in this household has been - ‘when in doubt, keep it’.This is the view from one end of the spectrum.At the other end are the believers of ‘when in doubt, throw it out’ - which means sell, give away or pitch.There are many anti-saving people who fear the potential collection and clutter that could logically ensue.Others simply do not have room to keep extra paraphernalia.Still others attach no value to no-longer-useful, past-their-prime objects.When you live in a saving/collecting/hoarding family, what treasures you stumble upon years down the road.Old phonograph records, photos, clothes, scrapbooks, postcards and letters, mementos of all kinds - Susan C.Mastine all portraying a way of life we never experienced.Just recently, we came across a notebook containing recipes hand-written in the late 1800s by Russell’s grandmother.It lists the ingredients for making intriguing foodstuffs like Buttermilk Pie, Welcome Cake, Potato Muffins, Pumpkin Pudding, and Yeast (using hops).Our family is fortunate to have space to store many no longer used items.Were we short of space, then decisions to pitch or to save would be more necessary and more difficult.Then, we’d have to find another family member who would treasure and make room for Grandma Beard’s spinning wheel, Great-Grandpa Mastine’s rocking chair, the boxes of newspaper clippings, .or see if the local museum, a private collector or an antique dealer were interested in them.When facing the decision-making moment to keep or get rid of an item, there are a few questions that help me decide.Is it possible that my children or grandchildren - should I have any - might find this intriguing, unusual, of sentimental value?Does CRASH:- this item reflect a part of our family’s or this area’s living history?Of special interest to area museums are journals, ledgers, letters, photographs, legal documents, and old issues of local newspapers.Part of a rich heritage, sometimes well known, other times needing to be pieced together can be documented in this way.Esther Healy, archivist for the Richmond County Historical Society related to me the finding of pages from the Richmond Guardian from the late 1800s.Now known as the Grainger Collection, they were found in the walls of a house and donated by the Grainger family to the Society’s Museum in Melbourne.One person’s trash is another’s treasure.Continued from page one Quebec to get professional training out of the federal domain and into local and regional hands.“Manpower and training constitutes a major building block for the future,” Cliche said.“It is an urgent concern.” The labor group endorsed the government’s move towards reducing the number of small municipalities through amalgamations, a direction Cliche deemed “necessary for the development of Quebec”.The CSN also recommended that the warden of the MRC be elected by the general public.The labor organization was one of a half-dozen groups to make a presentation in Sherbrooke on Thursday to the committee which has Inside Ann Landers .8 Births and deaths .10 Classified .12-13 Comics .13 Crossword .12 Editorial .6 Entertainment .9 Farm and Business .7 Living .8 Sports .14-15 The Townships .3-4-5 been touring the province since August 21 to get the pulse of the people.The federation representing low-cost housing units, the Estrie teacher’s union and groups representing the interests of the poor also offered their suggestions on cutting costs while maintaining services.D’Amour said those appearing before the commission Thursday reiterated comments of over-management and over-regulation heard elsewhere in the province.“We heard in Sherbrooke what we have heard everywhere - that job creation is the solution,” D’Amour said.“What we are hearing mostly is concern for social services and the need to create jobs,” D’Amour said.“Everywhere we go, people are telling us they want protection for social services and guarantees for the disadvantaged.And they want jobs.” Individuals were invited to express their views on the state of Quebec’s finances at a public forum Thursday night at the Delta Hotel in Sherbrooke.Luc Boudras, president of the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce was among several economic development representatives to address the commission and make recommendations for creating jobs.The hearings will resume Sept.21 in Montreal for two days and the report will be presented to Quebec Finance Minister Bernard Landry some time in October.D’Amour said no English-speaking Quebecers have appeared before the commission.“It’s unfortunate,” he said.Jean St-Gelais, communications officer travelling with the commission said the only presentation made in English so far came from an aboriginal group.CSN local president Janvier Cliche presents brief to commission Continued from page one experience, said he was having trouble staying awake and dozed off before hitting the soft shoulder in the curve.“I was supposed to fuel up at the Granby-Cowansville exit and have some breakfast,” Pellerin said.He said he was planning to get some rest there to let the early morning traffic calm down.“It was only because my truck was in the garage that I was doing the run over night,” he said.The trailer was severed in two by the shifting load, spewing newsprint and wreckage across the road.Several tow trucks and rent- POST OFFICE:- Continued from page one moratorium on closures of rural post offices across the country.Several Eastern Townships’ rural post offices, including those in Foster and West Brome, were closed before the Chrétien government announced the moratorium shortly after coming to power.The federal government hired consultant George Radwanski last year to study Canada Post’s operations.The coalition to preserve rural post offices was among those to submit a brief to Radwanski during his cross- ed transport trucks were used to clear the debris.The westbound lanes of Autoroute 10 were complete- Truck driver Marc Pellerin.«jjagPSj Truck driver Marc Pellerin.country tour.Radwanski held nationwide talks with private companies and the general public in April.The government is now studying his recommendations.The CPAA hopes the Radwanski’s report does not recommend the closure of more rural post offices, but the association is still scheduling talks with other rural MPs.The CPAA is hoping that those MPs will be able to sway the government’s if it decides to end the moratorium.Record a division of Quebecor Communications Inc.2850 Delorme, Sherbrooke, Que.J1K 1A1 819-569-9511 819-569-9525 Fax: 819-569-3945 Member ABC, CARD, CDNA, NMB, QCNA Randy Kinnear.Publisher .819-569-9511 Susan C.Mastine, Community Rel., .819-569-9511 Charles Bury, Exec.Editor .819-569-6345 Sharon McCully, Editor.819-569-6345 Dwane Wilkin, Chief Correspondent .819-569-6345 Alain Tétreault, Adv.Dir.819-569-9525 Richard Lessard, Prod.Mgr .819-569-9931 Departments Accounting.819-569-9511 Advertising.819-569-9525 Circulation .819-569-9528 Knowlton office .514-242-1188 Home & Mail subscriptions SSI ESI TOTAL Canada: 1 year 104.00 7.28 7.23 $118.51 6 months 52.00 3.64 3.62 $59.26 3 months 26.00 1.82 1.81 $29.63 Out of Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other services available on request.Back copies of The Record ordered one week after publication are available at $1.00 per copy.Established February 9, 1897, incorporating the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) and the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879).The Record is published daily Monday to Friday by The Record Division, Quebecor Communications Inc.Offices and plant located at 2850 Delorme Street, Sherbrooke, Quebec, J1K 1A1.Canadian Publications Mail Service Product Agreement No.0479675.

Many residents of the Municipality of Compton are concerned about an erotic dance club moving into the neighborhood.According to Compton municipal councillor, Mahlon Grapes, the issue first surfaced when council received a verbal request asking if there were any zones within the municipality which would permit the establishment of such an enterprise.At the time, Grapes said, there were no zones where such activities were “prohibited”.“According to provincial law, in order to have such businesses exempted in any zones, the municipality has to have one zone where it is allowed,” Grapes said.Accordingly, the urbanism committee chaired by councillor Grapes, suggested that a zone on Hatley Street close to the town’s sewage treatment facility be declared zoned for this purpose.But at the regular monthly meeting of the municipal council when the proposal was made, several taxpayers voiced their opposition.As a result, councillors decided to place the zoning issue “on hold” .It will be revisited at a future meeting.Councillors agreed to ask the Coaticook MRC to put a 90-day “freeze" on this type of activity anywhere within the municipality until council has had time to study the issue.Finally, council suggested the establishment of a citizens’ committee to work with the urbanism committee to come up with suggestions.Grapes said a zone can’t be located in a zone protected for agricultural purposes.Gas leak leads to evacuation SHERBROOKE(KM) - An apartment building on LaRoque Street was evacuat- ed for about an hour yesterday after Hydro Sherbrooke workers accidentally broke a gas conduit yesterday afternoon.Hydro Sherbrooke spokesman Daniel Corriveau said workers were digging in a small field located at the end of LaRoque Street near the Le Phare school when a 88.3 mm plastic gas conduit was broken.The accident occured at about 3:30 Thursday afternoon.Although there was no imminent danger, Jacques Deneault, head of the Sherbooke fire department, said that residents of 1655 LaRoque were evacutated from their homes as a precautionary measure when the wind’s direction changed.The other nearby apartments were not evacuated because the size of the pipe and pressure of the gas didn’t warrant it.Rene Boité, of Gaz Métropolitain, confirmed that the size and pressure of the pipe meant that evacuation measures taken by the fire deparment were appropriate.Residences were forced from their homes for a short while Thursday.k am -

St-Felix's Becky Taylor is adding a new dimension to the term “young entrepreneur”.The nine year-old has been successfully running her own business for the past month.Becky has turned one of her favorite interests - flowers -into a money-making proposition.She says that her grandfather, Herbie Taylor, was the catalyst behind her business venture.Taylor, who operates his own vegetable stand near the Richmond Fairgrounds, makes almost daily trips to market for fresh fruit and vegetables for his customers.On one of his trips to Pierreville, he picked up some bunches of dried flowers, along with the usual stock for the stand.Becky took charge of selling them and her new business bloomed, so to speak.This junior business woman has been taking her job seriously.She has not only done some research into prices charged by her competition by visiting several different stores, she is also researching flowers.Becky says that next year she'll be selling flowers that she has grown herself at home.So far, she has chosen two varieties: Straw Flowers and Statice, and she is looking into color variations for next year's merchandise.Becky plans to dry them in the barn."You have to hang them from the ceiling to dry," she explained.Becky has also put her math wizardry to work and is keeping her own books, which she says, always balance! Handling money is not new to her - she has been helping at the vegetable stand, adding bills and making change for two or three years already.Says proud mom, Joanne, "She knows all of the prices, can add everything, even make a bill for a restaurant (owner) and make change." Business has been going so well that Becky has decided to expand her stock to include vases, which she gets through grandma Mary Taylor's business connections.Her mainstay will still be flowers though, as that's where her chief interest lies."I want to be a botanist when I grow up," she explains.But for now, Becky will continue to use her talents in the business sector on holidays, weekends and summer vacation.And she has employed grandpa to keep shop for her while she is otherwise occupied in the fourth grade.'There is no future in garbage’ It’s amazing how much garbage two can collect By Steve Timmins Special to The Record BOLTON CENTRE - A regular visitor to the Brome Lake area since the days of riding lessons at the Knowlton Pony Club many years ago, I have had the pleasure this year of spending the entire summer at a cottage in Bolton Centre.The mountainous scenery here is spectacular and the warmth and hospitality of the people of Bolton Centre and South Bolton very much appreciated.The contribution I would like to make to the community before returning to Mount-Saint-Hilaire is to promote public awareness of the many benefits of recycling.The district municipality of East Bolton (comprising Bolton Centre and South Bolton) does not yet have a recycling program.So this summer, I decided to hold on to my 'good' garbage until the end of August beforé'cart-ing it off to^la^lreighboring recycling'Hepot.It's simply amazing the amount of recyclable waste one person with a 5 year-old child (one week out of every two) and a handful of visitors can create over a two-month period.Add to this three boxes of home office paper waste (from spring cleaning and business as usual) and you get one huge pile of good recyclable plastic, glass, paper and metal that would usually be lost forever in a landfill site.If we multiply this by the number of households and businesses in Canada that do not have access to recycling programs, the sheer quantity of good material we throw out is mind-boggling.Obviously, this is bad for the environment and bad economics.So why do we do it?Because we've all grown up in a mass-consumption, throw-away society that has only in the last 10 years become sharply aware that the earth's resources cannot sustain this kind of exploitation forever and that we are all going to be buried up to our necks in garbage someday if we keep throwing out this much garbage.Incineration of garbage is not an alternative.It creates the illusion of being a solution to reducing landfill but, in reality, causes serious air pollution and allows us to continue wasting vast quantities of valuable reusable material.The only real solution for East Bolton, Knowlton and all communities in the Eastern Townships is to become green communities with recycling programs aimed at 100 per cent participation of households and businesses and involving door-to-door pickup.It's really a no-brainer because the benefits of recycling are endless.Fundamentally, recycling is essential to protecting the environment and preserving our green spaces.Economically, it creates an efficient foundation for local economies and constitutes a sector with unlimited growth potential.Socially, recycling is a source of pride and satisfaction, knowing that we are doing our part to care for the environment and not contributing to unsound economic practices.The taxes people pay in East Bolton to cart off garbage for disposal could be diverted to a recycling program operated by the municipality in cooperation with a citizen's committee so that residents are totally involved and help keep the program focused on an environmental vision.There is no reason, however, why an entrepre- CORRECTION neuring soul could not create his or her own recycling pickup and sorting business by exploring the possibilities of making recycling profitable.In short, there is no future in garbage.Garbage is not a growth industry.Nor is it a source of civic pride.By setting up intensive recycling programs now, aimed at 100 per cent participation and including the collection of vegetable food waste for composting, East Bolton, Knowlton and other municipalities in the Eastern Townships can reduce the garbage they produce by over 60 per cent, create a solid base for sustainable longterm economic development and be recognized as progressive communities at the forefront of the green community movement in Canada.Steve Timmins and son collected summer’s waste.¦ - 1 0 ?'¦ ^ «S' Make that federal SHERBROOKE - In Thursday’s Record we quoted Townshipper s President Nancy Beattie saying the survival of the English-language community depends on a strong Liberal presence in Quebec.Beattie actually said the survival of the English-speaking community depends on a strong federal presence in Quebec.In a telephone interview Thursday Beattie said the Townshippers Association is a non-partisan organization that favors no one political party.The Record regrets the error. '¦ ï: cot LEGE Townships The RECORD - Friday, September 6, 1996 - 5 It’s a sign of the times Influx of students means fewer street signs By Kathy Mercier Record Correspondent LENNOXVILLE - At the beginning of every college semester, the adage ‘painting the town red’ takes on a whole new meaning.With the arrival of college and university students in Lennoxville, the town has found many streets signs either painted, bent, or miss- ing.According to René Cote, traffic officer for the town of Lennoxville, there are a few signs that either go missing or are damaged almost nightly- “Tuesday night there were three signs missing, and the night before that I found five spray painted.” vÿ'î^v.There’s little doubt that students are responsible for this kind of graffiti on street signs in Lennoxville.Since the return of the students last week, many signs have fallen victim to new pranksters in town.“I’ve noticed about 20 to 30 signs damaged or missing since the students have come back to town,” he said.Diane Gendreau, building inspector for the town believes that “No Parking” signs might go missing for economic reasons.“If the sign’s not there, or it’s painted over, you can’t give out a parking ticket.” But Coté believes that the signs go missing due to a dare or a prank.“It’s just something that happens every year,” he said.Some students joke that street signs are a cheap and daring way to decorate an apartment, or the perfect souvenir of college days.But such pranks mean extra expense for taxpayers of the town, and in some instances, can cause accidents.According to Paulette Painter, receptionist and office clerk at the Lennoxville town hall, each “No Parking” sign costs tax payers $39.50.“We ordered twelve in April,” said Painter.The missing signs often turn up at the end of the spring semester.“At the end of the school year, owners of apartment buildings call us to pick up signs, and some are found at the Bishop’s apartments,” explained Painter.“We kind of have an informal agreement with the town,” said Peter Belanger, director of the Champlain residences.‘They don’t ask us where we got them, and Signs like these make an interesting target for thieves.we don’t tell.” And some signs find their way to the garbage.“We tell them (students) to just leave the signs and that we will take them back, but I guess some are worried about being identified,” Belanger said.The number of street signs found in apartments vary from year to year.Sometimes it’s 15, other years it’s three.This year I think we have about 10 apartments with various signs in them.” But Belanger draws the line at at “Stop” signs.“Those are too dangerous to go missing,” he said.“They are also very expensive.There was once a kid who was caught stealing a stop sign, post and all, and the police charged him $150.” Painter said some students return stolen signs to the police when the school seaso-nends.Belanger speculates bravado prompts some students to take or damage street signs “With Bishop’s and Champlain, there are about 3100 students.Many are from out of town and don’t have the sense of ownership that someone local might have.” ‘Sign season’ tends to peter off quickly once classes begin in earnest.“After the first week or so, the interest dies quickly,” assured Belanger.“I don’t see many more signs being taken from here on in.” It’s a patchwork paradise at Lennoxville quilter’s show By Kathy Mercier Record Correspondent LENNOXVILLE -Folks in Lennoxville will have a warm and cuddly feeling today and Saturday thanks to the Lennoxville Quilters.The group is holding its annual quilt show at St.George’s Church Friday and Saturday from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.Visitors will be able to see quilts crafted over the long days of winter as well as antique quilts dating back to the 1700’s and 1800’s.Also on display will be quilts that have become family heirlooms.“In the Church this year we’re going to hang the older quilts on the upper beams, and over the pews we will drape the antique quilts” said Nancy Brown, member of the Lennoxville Quilters.“The older quilts will be left hanging for Sunday service.” The women in the Lennoxville Quilters have been working diligently since the winter to produce about 40 quilts for the show as well as filling orders from customers.‘There are about 20 women in the group.Brown said the women meet every Monday afternoon through winter and spring to work on quilts that have been commissioned, and to assemble work for the show.Those visiting the show will be able to purchase some of the quilts as well as other quilted articles at a small boutique set up in the church.“We will have smaller articles such as small quilts, baby quilts, and handicrafts such as quilted bags and animals,” explained Brown.Prices of the handiwork reflects the long hours put into making a quilt.“A larger quilt can sell for about $500, depending on the work and type of quilt,” explained Brown.‘There will also be smaller throw quilts which will sell for about 75$ to $100.” ‘There is something for just about everyone.” On Saturday, the Quebec Registry for Quilts will also be on hand to register quilts.‘The registry is so that people will know who made their quilt as it is passed down the family.” Admission to the quilt show, which includes coffee, muffins,cookies and tea, is $3.50.Need to get your

all children have an innate love for learning and desire to flood their minds with a plethora of facts resembling walking encyclopedias.It is comparable to saying that all children have an innate love of hockey due the environment surrounding the game in Canada.Left to themselves, children will spend hours watching television, wandering in shopping centers, and talking about girls, boys, movies and whatever the latest gossip is, just as you and I did! It is also clear that today's student will not spend an ounce of effort in their studies unless required to do so by a system which has high expectations and good enforcement of discipline related to the curriculum at hand.More than ever, a conducive climate of learning must be created, along with a structure which expects a greater measure of control and places demands on student's behavior.Students are now entering our schools who have not been supervised at home.A number of parents cannot keep their children from watching mindless television or R-rated videos or consuming alcohol, a problem quite evident on weekends.Everything seems so out of control now that educators believe that we cannot solve our pervasive problems with the present generation of secondary students, but must take a longterm approach and begin the process by redesigning the primary schools to include a greater measure of discipline.What is needed is more structure and control in the classroom.I am not blaming the schools for their present dilemma.Our culture has begun to crumble from the massive social problems that defy solutions.Many problems of the school are problems of the home.Parents should create an atmosphere of love but also should seek to inculcate a positive attitude toward authority and require a reasonable standard of behavior.Such a stance involves conflict daily, an experience most parents detest and wish to avoid.But if a child wins the first minor confrontation, the parent communicates the wrong message by not maintaining control.The child becomes bolder, and eventually creates an angry parent, a quality to be avoided at all cost.Then chaos and anarchy sets in.One of the first prerequisites to good parenting is household control.Speaking in a military context, George Washington said, "Discipline is the soul of the army.It makes small numbers formidable; procures success to the weak, and esteem to all."The early Christian Tsrtullian said, "You can judge the quality of their faith from the way they behave.Discipline is an index to doctrine." Discipline is a necessary ingredient of living needed in the home, at school, and at work.Begun in the home it will filter into every aspect of life.RONALD HOLDEN Thanks to canvassers and donors Dear Editor, Sutton-Mansonville Sector has completed another successful fund-raising campaign for the Canadian Cancer Society.Thanks to hardworking canvassers and generous donors, $11,031.00 was raised in the Sutton area and $23,248.00 in the Mansonville area, for a total of $13,279.00 in the Sutton-Mansonville Sector to support of the critical work of the Canadian Cancer Society in the fight against cancer.Earl McCurdy Team Captain Sutton-Mansonville Sector Heu?!

The loss of the historic Hunting house and the felling of the adjacent 200 year-old oak tree on Queen Street in 190 was an earlier example of shortsighted, developer-driven planning.Citizens stood helpless as the town rubber-stamped all the necessary permits.In that case a unique piece of the town's architecture vanished, replaced by a sterile, cracker-box structure built for short-term profit.A few years ago, a thriving Lennoxville residents' Association counted many active members and a dynamic leadership.Nevertheless, it ran into a brick wall at city hall over quality of life issues.The L.R.A.is now defunct, swallowed up by the apathy of frustrated residents clinging to the faint hope that elected officials would hence be more responsive to suggestions from residents.Today, a backlog of people-centered studies and proposals gathers dust at town hall.Recently, citizen advocates like Michael Fox and his neighbors organized a futile effort to introduce the concept of "traffic calming" to local authorities.He spoke about it.He wrote about it.He patiently tried to educate others about it.Given the chance to stand alongside citizens who were willing to get involved, town officials chose to be their adversaries instead of their allies.Thus ended a valiant attempt to improve the quality of life in a town overrun by cars.The revival of a sense of neighborhood community was crushed.This summer, another outstanding citizen advocate simply threw in the towel and moved away from Lennoxville with his family.By tearing down the store fronts that define and give character to our downtown, Lennoxville is certainly losing its face.By consistently ignoring suggestions from residents, Lennoxville risks losing its soul.Perhaps we no longer live in a community, but rather a paradise lost.Your truly, Tom Vandermeulen Lennoxville The RECORD - Friday, September 6, 1996 -7 Behind the News Feds still undecided about court action Bertrand urges Ottawa to stand up to By Jack Branswell QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec’s refusal to recognize any court ruling on whether it can secede is a revolutionary act that Ottawa must challenge immediately, lawyer Guy Bertrand said Thursday.Bertrand called on Canadians to write Prime Minister Jean Chrétien and urge Ottawa to join his battle for an injunction against a referendum that could lead to Quebec unilaterally separating from Canada.The sovereigntist-turned-federalist lawyer is worried that Ottawa could withdraw from the case, as Quebec announced it would Wednesday.A spokeswoman for federal

sovereigntists sav its a waste Bertrand had suggested he might stop his case but there’s speculation that was a ploy to make sure the fédérai government doesn’t back out for political reasons.Ottawa entered the case last spring and said it was doing so only because Quebec was challenging the validity of the Constitution.But Bertrand said Quebec is again doing the same thing by refusing to acknowledge Quebec the courts’ jurisdiction in the sovereignty issue.Justice Robert Pidgeon of Quebec Superior Court ruled last week that Bertrand’s case could continue.Rock called the decision a victory because it slated the courts have a role to piav in defining how and if Quebec could become sovereign.But Quebec Justice Minister Paul Begin said Wednesday that Quebecers and not the courts would dec’de their political future.Bertrand called that “a revolutionary act” and a partial declaration of sovereignty by the Parti Québécois government.“By refusing to respect the primacy ot law, Quebec has placed its secessionist project above the law and it risks plunging Quebec into chaos, anarchy and violence,” he Possible return of language inspectors draws ire QUEBEC (CP) — The possible return of language inspectors who would measure commercial signs to ensure the prominence of French has run into opposition among some traditional sovereigntist supporters.“When the principal tool to apply the law is a measuring tape, that poses difficulties for us,” said Gerald Larose, head of the Confederation of National Trade Unions, the province’s second-largest labor group.“It is absolutely humiliating, ridiculous, shameful, laughable.” Larose was testifying at legislative hearings into proposed changes to Quebec’s language laws.One widely discussed topic, at the hearings, which ended Thursday, was the possible resurrection of the Commission de protection de la langue française.The agency’s inspectors, dubbed “tongue troopers” by some anglophones, would have the power to ensure that businesses comply with Quebec law, which allows languages other than French on indoor commercial signs as long as French is at least twice as prominent.The Parti Québécois supports the return of the Commission de protection de la langue française.Officials with Quebec’s largest employers’ group told the hearings that a survey of his group’s members revealed that 91 per cent don’t want the agency back.“I think you should not create the Commission de protection because (it) is the most detested organization in Quebec,” said Aimé Gagné of the Conseil du patronat du Quebec, a largely federalist group.“Those who want to chase English once and for all from Quebec, they are dreaming and I think that they are committing the greatest injustice towards French-Canadians and towards the anglophone community.” Gagné called on the government to concentrate more on increasing the role of French in the workplace.The stance echoed comments by the Quebec Federation of Labor, the largest

however, this test is not a determining factor by itself.The most common deductible expenses include: — Property taxes, electricity, insurance — Commissions paid for finding new tenants — Landscaping costs — Maintenance and utilities costs — Accounting fees, financing fees, interest expenses, advertising costs — Fees to reduce the interest rate — Lease cancellaton payments Expenses which cannot be deducted are the repayment of the principal on a mortgage, tax penalties, the value of the owner’s labour and land transfer taxes which should be added to the cost of the land.Renée Gladu, CA Tax Department Raymond, Chabot, Martin, Paré General Partnership B RAYMOND, CHABOT, chartered MARTIN, PARÉ accountants Job offers Géo multimedia 3 -The most complete, low priced.no compromise computer system • Géo INTEL PENTIUM 120 • 256k PIPELINE BURST CACHE • 16 MB EDO RAM MEMORY • 1.08 GIGABYTE HARD DRIVE AV • S3 PCI SVGA MPEG VIDEO BOARD 1 MB UP TO 2 MB • MODEM/FAX/ANSWERING MACHINE 28.8 VOICE HANDS FREE • DSVD SIMITANEOUS DATAA/OICE COMMUNICATION .6X CDROM • 16 BITS STEREO SOUND BOARD WITH Q-SOUND & WAVE-TABLE • 24 WATTS SPEAKERS WITH AC ADAPTOR • MICROPHONE, 1,44MB FLOPPY DRIVE, MOUSE • WINDOWS 95 KEYBOARD .WINDOWS 95 INSTALLED AND CONFIGURED • CD'S (GROLIER 96 ENCYCLOPEDIA, REFERENCE LIBRARY, INTERNET ON LINE, ALUNSER JR, ARCADE RACING, FAMILY DICTIONARY, CHESSMASTER 4000, MAVIS BEACON TEACHES TYPING, THE ANIMALS 2,0, US ATLAS 5.0, WORLD ATLAS 5 0) • 15 INCH MONITOR .28 Nl, DIGITAL .WARRANTY.TWO YEARS ON PARTS AND THREE YEARS ON LABOUR • DELIVERY, INSTALLATION & INTRODUCTION INCLUDED (POSSIBILITY OF A MILEAGE CHARGE ACCORDING TO DISTANCE) * Géo computers are produced in Quebec Only 2159$ plus taxes 1999$ plus taxes with 14 inch monitor dent loans available here !

- Friday, September 6, 1996 - 9 Arts & Entertainment Gives viewers magazine stand-like selection Growth in specialty channels welcomed by many By Vic Parsons OTTAWA (CP) - The chase is on for viewers for the newly licensed specialty channels, with the winners confident they can attract bored consumers back to their TV screens.Some potential clients and media experts, comparing specialties to well-stocked magazine racks or to the Internet, seem to agree.Garry Maavara, vice-president of business growth for CTV, said Thursday there’s no question the licensing of 23 new specialty channels will lead to the fragmentation of viewing audiences.CTV was one of the big winners Wednesday when licences were awarded, with a headline news channel showing updates every 15 minutes and a share of the Canadian-oriented History and Entertainment Network.Maavara admits some of the CTV viewers who watch the 11 p.m.news will drift over to the headline service.But he believes there is room for expansion, too.“We’ll be able to grow the pot a little bit, but there is going to be some cannibalization.” The headline service does have some appeal to consumers.Meg Taylor, a Toronto editor, says a headline channel appeals to her because she was fed up with the quality of daily newspapers and stopped reading them.Retired teacher Kim Stevens of Greely, Ont., also likes the idea of quick news hits with a Canadian flavor.“I’d certainly watch it before CNN headline news.I do like the Canadian emphasis.” Both Taylor and Stevens like the idea of specialized doses of comedy and history, too.Taylor compares specialty TV to the Internet.“I really welcome the niche, because I can see how people are using the Net for what may be the passionate centre of their lives.” Paul Attallah, a communications professor at Carleton University, says the TV lineup is evolving to a magazine model.“You go to the magazine stand, and there’s 200 to 300 magazines to choose from.That doesn’t stop a few magazines like Time or Macleans or Newsweek from being relatively dominant in their field.” Attallah says the springing up of specialty channels may reduce viewership for conventional network TV but the blow won’t be fatal.“The audience is being fragmented over more choices but it’s the same owners and the same type of content being recycled in all sorts of places.Smashing Pumpkins, Morissette win MTV awards From Reuters-AP-CP NEW YORK (CP) -Alternative rockers Smashing Pumpkins dominated the 13th annual MTV Music Video Awards show Wednesday night but Canadian vocalist Alanis Morissette also picked up multiple honors.She won best video by a new artist and best female video for Ironic.Her video also won for best editing.The rock gala, broadcast live from landmark Radio City Music Hall, was opened by the Smashing Pumpkins, making their first television appearance since the drug overdose death of their keyboardist this summer.Morissette, 22, of Ottawa, a former child television actress and later a teen pop singer, released her Grammy Award-winning album Jagged Little Pill last year.And isn’t this ironic: Morissette doesn’t even like awards, though she allows for the possibility that MTV’s are OK.“It’s less formal, there’s less pressure to be here,” she said.But “It still doesn’t change the concept of art being judged.I still don’t agree with it.” Smashing Pumpkins, who MTV award winner Alanis Morrisette.had eight nominations, the most of the night, picked up six awards — best video of the year, best breakthrough video, best direction, best art direction and best special effects for Tonight, Tonight, as well as best alternative video for 1979.The Smashing Pumpkins suffered the heroin overdose death of keyboardist Jonathan Melvoin in July and the arrest of drummer Jimmy Chamberlin on drug charges.He was later fired from the band.“We’ve had an interesting year.We lost a friend.We lost a drummer.But I hope we haven’t lost any fans,” singer-guitarist Billy Corgan said.“To anyone who wonders, we’re fine.” The Foo Fighters won best group video for Big Me, a parody of a Mentos candy commercial.Band member Dave Grohl, accepting the award, called it “some sort of closure” and jokingly asked the audience to “stop throwing Mentos at our shows.” Grohl and one other member of the Foo Fighters were once members of Nirvana, which broke up after the suicide death of lead singer Kurt Cobain.Other winners included Coolio for best rap video for Gangsta’s Paradise and best dance video for 1, 2, 3, 4 (Sumpin New) and Fugees won best R and B video for Killing Me Softly.Metallica won best hard rock video for Until it Sleeps.And Beck won best male video for Where It’s At.By The Canadian Press A sketch of pop star Alanis Morissette: Born: Ottawa, June 1, 1974.Albums: Alanis (1991), Now is the Time (1992), Jagged Little Pill (1995).Hit singles: You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket, Ironic.Accomplishments: Worldwide sales of Jagged Little Pill have passed eight

ROCK ISLAND (IH) — When tourists spend a holiday in Jamaica they are thrilled by the beauty of the Island, the flowers, sandy beaches and blue waters of the ocean, they enjoy exotic beverages, many mixed with Jamaican rum and the sumptuous foods.However there is a part of the Island that the tourists do not see.Rev.Anthony Bailey from Kingston, Jamaica, his lovely wife and three children are “back home in Canada” from the Island.Two of their children were bom in Canada, the third in Jamaica.Anthony, a Canadian, graduate of McGill came to Stanstead South Church Fellowship Hall the evening of August 28, where unfortunately less than 20 people gathered to view his pictures and other materials pertaining to the Island, that gave everyone a different part of the Island.The family live in the United Church Manse on the Island, his wife has a Sunday School group and works as a volunteer among the poor people.She rides a bicycle with a seat for the little one, which is quite a novelty to the people.Anthony said there are not enough schools, his pictures showed the agriculture on the Island, pineapples, coffee, sugar cane etc.Cricket is their main sport, the island is dry, with hills and valleys.The pictures showed the slums, the deplorable shacks, where because of perhaps only one bed, the children take turns on for sleeping.At one time garbage lined these alleyways, but now a man with a donkey and dump cart picks it up for dispoal.There is a lot of violence and mob killings.The churches are now working together, the United, Anglican, Catholic and other denominations to give sex education, as a group church to reach out to these people.There is a lot of political animosity, the church operates as a school, outdoor services take place, it is a real challenge, he said.There is a hospital but it needs repairs.A man in Florida owned a factory in this area, he gave it to the Council of churches, and man who formerly sat on benches with no work, are now employed to rebuild the old factory for a recreational hall.The slides showed it was well on its way, but as Anthony said, it requires a lot more work before it is finished.The slides were also musical, for Jamaicans have their own sense of rhythm, young people learn hymns, also with a ry-hthm.“We see the vision of God taking place in this section of the Island.” He also noted that the monies given through the United Churches Mission and Service fund is helping to give and to teach a better way of life for those underprivileged people.Rev.Ralph Rogers thanked Anthony for his vocal, slides, and exhibit presentation.A brief question and answer period followed along with refreshments.Everyone contributed with a freewill offertory gift.Anthony and his family are in points of Canada, especially in Quebec bringing to the people this Jamaican story.Think twice about costly fiber drug By Peter H.Gott, M.D.DEAR DR.GOTT: A cardiologist in a small town offers to sell a non-prescription, high-fiber drug to his patients.When taken with meals, it prevents the absorption of fats into the body.Instead, the fats are trapped and excreted.Is this drug effective, and does $65 for a month’s supply seem reasonable?DEAR READER: There are many fiber supplements on the market.The precise reason why indigestible fiber does, in some people, lower blood cholesterol levels is unknown.For example, psyllium husks in products such as Metamucil, if taken regularly, may reduce blood cholesterol by as much as 10 percent.Although I am not familiar with the specific compound you mention, I am always suspicious of a physician — or anyone else, for that matter — who has a franchise to market a product that is promoted to improve health.Because such practitioners stand to make a profit on these sales, I see a definite conflict of interest.Therefore, while I stop short of condemning your cardiologist’s enterprise, I certainly recommend that you think twice.Moreover, $65 a month is no small sum.For the equivalent of $2 a day, you could purchase a lot of over-the-counter fiber — or even pre- scription fat-lowering drugs (such as Mevacor) — that would probably be even more effective.In addition, a low-fat diet, at basically no additional expense whatsoever, might be more suitable for your needs.In short, you have other more appropriate options than simply using the product recommended by the cardiologist.Ask your family practitioner about tfiis; I’d be interested in what he has to say.To give you more information, I am sending you a copy of my Health Report “Understanding Cholesterol.” Other readers who would like a copy should send $2 plus a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to P.O.Box 2017, Murray Hill Station, New York, NY 10156.Be sure to mention the title.C1996 NEWSPAPER

The RECORD - Friday, September 6, 1996 —14 Devour the last days of summer By Marialisa Calta Even though I’ve been out of school for more years than I was ever IN, I still think of life in terms of the school year.Consequently, Labor Day seems a little bit like New Year’s to me, marking, as it does, the end of summer and the start of a new semester.Even though the weather may bring us several more weeks of summer, let’s face it: We know it’s over.Even the workplace looses its casual, hey-it’s-summer-let’s-knock-off-early air.For school kids and working people alike, it’s time to get down to business.But I can’t let summer go without a send-off.Labor Day is the time for a summertime feast, a last hurrah.Load the cooler with ice, beer and soda, fire up the grill, run to the farm stand for some fresh com, and see summer out in style.Like the Fourth of July, Labor Day seems to me like a time for classic American picnic food.My menu this year includes barbecued ribs, coleslaw, baked beans, corn and, for dessert, a huge ice-cold watermelon.(If you absolutely must have a more desserty-dessert, my vote goes to homemade brownies with vanilla ice cream.) The recipes below are American classics, with the flavor cranked up several notches.The ribs recipe comes from "Nathalie Dupree’s Southern Memories,” via the folks at Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, and it is a combination of fresh herbs, lots of garlic and Worcestershire that gives the “disappearing” marinade it’s depth of flavor.The coleslaw and the baked beans recipes may seem like the same old stuff, but Jim Fobel, in his “Big Flavors” cookbook perks them up with spices and mustards and herbs.All the recipes can easily be doubled.I am a bit of a tyrant on the subject of corn, so if you are going to include it in your menu, you had better do it right.First, buy corn that has been picked the day you want to cook it, which means going to a farm stand, not a grocery store.(Where I live, some farmers pick com six or eight times a day to ensure that their customers get the freshest stuff possible).If you can’t do this, serve potatoes instead.Once you’ve got the com, bring a large pot of plain water (no sugar, no salt added) to a boil.Shuck the com right before serving and drop it into boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes.Remove, and serve with real sweet butter (no margarine allowed) and salt.If you've decided on potatoes instead, try this: A couple of hours before serving, boil the potatoes until JUST tender.Drain.Place in a bowl and sprinkle with olive oil (extra-virgin makes a difference), salt and fresh chopped herbs (rosemary is great).Right before you cook the ribs, grill the potatoes, rolling them gently on the grill so that all sides get slightly charred.If we have to say goodbye to summer, it’s nice to do it on a full stomach.I think I hear the school bus.COUNTRY STYLE BARBECUED RIBS WITH BENNIE’S DISAPPEARING MARINADE 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 cup red wine vinegar cup vegetable oil tablespoons freshly ground black pepper 1 tablespoon chopped fresh mar- joram 1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil 3 tablespoons soy sauce 6 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce 5 large garlic cloves, peeled and smashed Salt, to taste 3 pounds country-style back ribs 1 to H Make the marinade: In a food processor, combine everything but the ribs, and process until well blended.Put the ribs in a nonreactive pan just large enough to hold them.Pour the marinade over the ribs, turning to coat.Cover, refrigerate and marinate several hours or overnight.When ready to serve, prepare the grill.Drain the meat, place it on the hot grill and cook 8 to 10 minutes.Turn and brown other side, 6 to 8 minutes.Yield: 4 servings.— Recipe from “Nathalie Dupree’s Southern Memories” (Clarkson Potter, 1993).UNCLE EDDIE’S COLESLAW \ cup mayonnaise V cup sour cream 2 tablespoons brown mustard V teaspoon dry mustard 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon sugar 2 teaspoons drained prepared horseradish 2 teaspoons salt \ ' teaspoon celery seed \ teaspoon black pepper 10 cups (1-\ pounds) shredded green cabbage In a large bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustards, vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, horseradish, salt, celery seed and pepper.Add the cabbage and toss well to combine.The coleslaw will be dry at this point, but will moisten as the cabbage gives up its liquid.Transfer coleslaw to a bowl just large enough to hold it, cover, and refrigerate at least 6 hours, or overnight.Toss occasionally.Serve cold.Yield: 6 cups.— Recipe from “Jim Fobel’s Big Flavors” (Clarkson Potter, 1995).FOOD MARIALISA CALTA Subscribe Now!
