delaying it.André Boulerice, a Montreal- area member, said the article by the university professors has worried a lot of sovereigntist workers in his riding.\u201cI won't hide the fact that there are

newly begun peace talks in Paris today, after a mortar shell sliced through a crowded market area, slaughtering at least 35 people.Sarajevo\u2019s main market was crowded with shoppers on Monday \u2014 the first sunny morning after days of rain.Then the shell landed.The force of the blast threw a man's body on to a railing that separated the sidewalk from the road.It hung there, jackknifed over the iron handhold.Old women crawled along the road spewing blood as they gasped for air.Limbs and flecks of human flesh were splattered along storefronts.Bodies were blown to bits.The air was thick with the screams of the wounded and dying and the wails of relatives and friends.Taxi drivers, market vendors and others heaped bodies into the back of cars and trucks to take them to hospitals.Some bodies fell apart as they were lifted by the survivors into the vehicles.Shopping bags lay dumped amid the flesh and blood.\u201cSerbs did a great job again,\u201d shouted a doctor at

shell that struck near the turn-of- the-century building killed dozens.It was the worst massacre of civilians in the city since Feb.5, 1994, when a shell landed less than 100 metres away, killing 68 people and wounding 200.The Muslim-led government blamed Serb rebels for Monday's attack; the Serbs accused the government of attacking its own people to scuttle the latest peace talks.The United

the urban-rural split?Peace accord aims to heal divisions in Ascot By Rita Legault ASCOT \u2014 Urban residents and Ascot town council are impatient for divisions in the municipality to be resolved once and for all.At a meeting last night, an urban citizen\u2019s committee seeking to keep the municipality intact passed a resolution opposing annexation to Sherbrooke and the creation of a new municipality.It also set a deadline of September 15 for a final decision on the future of the municipality.About 100 people voted on the resolution before marching down to town hall to present it to a waiting council.There, town council passed its own resolution, a peace proposition to rural residents which proposes a new power- sharing agreement and a user- pay division of costs.ASCOT ACCORD The five-page proposition to the Ascot Rural Residents Association is a sort of Meech- Lake Accord response to rural separatists who have been calling for the formation of an autonomous rural municiplaity.The proposition, which was passed council unanimously, sets a number of goals such as keeping the municipality intact, putting an end to the ULE The proposal will see the large rural territory in Ascot remain intact.debate on the future of the municipality and allowing the harmonious development of the municipality.Another goal is to submit a favorable report to Municipal Affairs Minster Guy Chevrette which will allow him to make a decision on the future of the municipality.After studying the results of the municipal referendum on the future of Ascot and public hearings held in May, Chevrette asked Ascot council and residents to come up with their own solution to the divisions between urban and rural residents.He gave them three months to get their act together.That deadline expires soon.Pouliot said he hopes last night\u2019s proposition will put an end to years of fighting between urban and rural residents.DISTINCT SOCIETY Among other things, the proposition recognizes rural residents as a sort of distinct society.Council recognizes that the municipality is constituted of two communities, one living in the urban centre and the other in the countryside.Cost sharing, the main sore spot between urban and rural residents and the main source of conflicts was also established \u2014 recognizing that some services are shared and others must be paid by for users.Among the costs to be shared are police and fire protection, road maintenance, public transport, recreation and cultural services, town administration and human ressources related to those activities.Among the costs to be assumed only by those who benefit are construction of new roads, construction and maintenance of sewers and watermains, and the cost of servicing the debt for such costs.Pouliot told reporters later that even if all rural residents don\u2019t have access to public transportation, there\u2019s a more than equitable trade off in the shared costs of maintaining some 85 kilometres of rural roads.POWER SHARING While council can do nothing to change the fact that there are two rural and four urban councillors \u2014 electoral zones are set by provincial law \u2014 the proposition sets the principle of rural/urban equality on all town committees including finance, zoning, recreation, promotion, oublcit security and environment.The town will also extend the representation rules to inter-municipal boards such as the Lennoxville/Ascot police board, the regional transit Urban residents voted massively in favor of a proposition demanding that Ascot not be annexed to Sherbrooke.comission and the intermunici- pal water and sewage cleanup board.A final point is the preservation of the rural territory, according to a map which basically covers all of the sections not serviced by municipal sewage and water hookups.Pouliot said that should the proposition be accepted, it will be assured by changing internal regulations and thanks to article 160 of the municipal code, cannot be changed without the unanimous consent of council, including both rural councillors.Pouliot said the proposition shows council's firm intent to come to a cohabitation deal with rural residents which will allow the municipality to remain intact.And, council set a deadline of Sept.11 for rural residents to decide one way or the other.Should such a deal be impossible, Pouliot said Chevrette will be advised and council will be forced to accept annexations of various rural sectors to neighboring municipalities.However, Pouliot warned, such departures will not be concluded without a sharing of both the assets and the liabilities of the departing zones.Accompanied by Metro Police, about 100 urban residents marched down to town council.RECORD PHOTOS:

Tuesday, Sept 5, Cookshire; Wednesday, Sept 6, Magog; Thursday, Sept 7, Sherbrooke; Monday, Sept.11: Richmond.All the forums will be from 7 to 10 p.m.For more information, or to get a copy of the Green Book on decentralization, call the local Communications Québec office at 820-3000.In Coaticook Monday Only about 40 people turned out to talk about the pros and cons of decentralization.Behind the News In referendum battle: Enumeration list becomes flashpoint MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The city\u2019s black community hopes to get the message out from pulpits.Filipinos are turning to community picnics.And members of Alliance Quebec, the province's main anglophone lobby group, wandered among vegetable stalls Monday at a major market.The efforts are aimed at getting adults to register on Quebec\u2019s voters\u2019 list \u2014 a normally routine process that is fast becoming the first major skirmish in the referendum battle.For the first time, Quebec is drawing up a permanent voters\u2019 list.Enumerators, who set out next week, will be able to ask people to prove they're Canadians by producing a passport or other document.That has some community leaders worried that eligible voters will be left off the list for the referendum vote, either out of fear or inability to produce documents.Edina Bayne, a black community activist, is exhorting community groups and church ministers to tell people how to register and to urge them to do it.\u201cThe black community is traditionally very apathetic about voting,\u201d said Bayne, former director of the Black Community Council of Quebec.\u201cThe attitude is, it doesn\u2019t matter who's in power, we're going to be at the bottom of the totem pole.\u201cWhat has created the urgency is the referendum.\u201d Though Quebec's chief electoral officer is spending $1.5 million on a publicity campaign, community groups say a surprising number of voters are still unaware of next week's enumeration.Usually, enumeration is done after an election is called.This time, Premier Jacques Parizeau hasn't even set a date for the fall referendum.And many Quebecers are hardly paying attention to the vote, preferring to enjoy the last days of summer.That's one reason Alliance Quebec president Michael Hamelin was at Jean Talon Market handing out pamphlets Monday.Other group members were doing the same in Chinatown.\u201cA lot of old-timers speak hardly any English or French,\u201d explained Paul Wong, an Alliance Quebec volunteer working among shoppers in Chinatown.\u201cThey might be scared a bit if a stranger they're not expecting rings their doorbell.\u201d Although the various groups insist their efforts are nonpartisan, they acknowledge that most members are federalists, so that getting them on the voters\u2019 list probably will produce more No votes.The list will serve later as the basis for future provincial, municipal and school board elections.Please support vour local newspaper! Editorial 6\u2014The RECORD-\u2014Tuesday, August 29, 1995 Native land claims cannot be ignored Sunday two RCMP officers were sprayed with gunfire by natives claiming a patch of ranchland near Gustafsen Lake in British Columbia belongs to them.Many of them have said they would defend the land with their lives, and there apprears to be no easy way to resolve the situation.The issue of native land claims has once again moved to the forefront.It seems hard to believe that the lessons of 1990 were so easily forgotten.After hundreds of years of aboriginal peoples asking for the hundreds of outstanding land claims to be resolved, some of them got fed up.Out came the automatic weapons, and the Canadian Army had to be called in to restore order.There was little bloodshed, but it could have easily become a bloodbath.What followed were the politicians promising that things would be different.Land claims would be settled, and soon.They were listening, and would deal with the situation to make sure the Oka crisis would never be repeated.Sometime in the last five years the politicians fell asleep at the wheel.Like many promises made by politicians, they turned out to be hollow, and native land claims quickly slipped back into the shadows.Like many things that can hide in the shadows, land claim issues have emerged once again.Once again, politicians have no choice but to confront an issue most of them would like to forget about.But confronting the issue is what must be done.The resolve of natives grows yearly, as they flex their muscles, trying to rebuild and recover a part of themselves which has been supressed for many generations.If the aboriginal peoples of this country are ignored much longer, bloodshed will be the inevitable result.It might not happen this time, but eventually people will die.The only way out is for our political leaders to sit down with natives and hash it out.Settle it now, before more lives are destroyed.MAURICE CROSSFIELD Today in History

How would we have any idea?Dear Sir: Canadian Press articles by Douglas Todd carried in the Record on August 17 were certainly not intended to compliment Dr.James Dobson and his organization known as Focus on the Family, mocking called \u201cDobson\u2019s empire» by Todd.These articles deliberately, or possibly ignorantly, neglected to tell why Dr.Dob- son \u201ctargets» the Fourth World Conference on Women to be held in Beijing, China, a country which has a despicable history (past and present) in its treatment of women.Let me begin by saying there is no person in North America for whom I have greater respect than Dr.Dobson.Any remarks which insinuate a scandalous organization headed by Dr.Dobson, annoy me.A recent newsletter from Focus on the Family gives considerable information about this conference, information Todd would have been wise to have considered.The letter also gave a lot of sickening information about practices in China such as the harvesting of human organs from executed prisoners whose offenses were usually of a minor nature, e.g.one was known to have been executed for writing \u201cDown with Chairman Mao» on a cigarette pack.These organs are sold at black market prices to Westerners desperate for kidneys, hearts, livers, corneas, etc.Dr.Dobson's information has been carefully documented and the letter gives permission to copy any or all parts of the letter, and I ask if the following quoted from the letter doesn\u2019t turn stomach, what will?\u201cAccording to World, human fetuses have begun to appear on menus of Chinese restaurants as a delicacy and health tonic.To investigate this widespread rumor than unborn human beings were being sought and eaten to improve complexions and promote general well-being, an Eastern Express reporter on March 1 entered the state-run Shenzhen Health Center for Women and Children and requested a fetus for a feigned illness.A female doctor told the reporter the department had run out of fetuses, but to come back.The next day, according to the paper, the reporter returned at lunch time.The doctor eventually emerged from the operating theatre holding a fist-sized glass bottle stuffed with thumb-sized fetuses.She said, \u2018There are 10 fetuses here, all aborted this morning.You can take them.We are a state hospital and don\u2019t charge anything.Normally we doctors take them home to eat \u2014 all free.Since you don\u2019t look well, you can take them.» Dr.Dobson points out that the conference will go ahead whether we like it or not, so we need to know what the organizers hope to accomplish, and who will represent our countries.\u201cThe official U.N.document which will be promoted in Beijing was written by a virtual who's who of radical feminists.Chief among them is that veteran sexist warrior, Bella Abzug, who headed the infamous International Women\u2019s Conference in Houston in 1977 which was designed to destroy the family.» This woman has been known as an avid supporter of Soviet dictator Josef Stalin, and led rallies for the support of the Viet Cong during the Vietnam War.Since 1977 she has run for the U.S.Senate, and lost.She ran for mayor of New York City and finished third in a primary race, and then ran for Congress and lost.\u201c- Her views are so far off base even the liberal media often ignore them.Nevertheless, this woman, a radical to the core, who represents only her leftists cohorts, has become our official spokesperson on morals and the family.» Yet the Clinton administration approves of this conference and is supporting it (with taxpayers money) even with such an agenda.Is it any wonder that this conference is Dobson\u2019s Target as the Record headline reads?Focus on the Family has obtained permission from the United Nations to attend the conference as what they call a \u201cNongovernmental Organization».They plan to send five (two men and three women) as representatives, and this will be at the expense of Focus on the Family, not the taxpayer.The representatives will be in a very hostile atmosphere with a lot of pressure and harassment on them.They need our prayers.I say thank God for Dr.Dobson.Otherwise how would we ordinary people have any idea of what goes on in high places?Sincerely, CHET PERKINS Danville Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, August 29, 1995\u20147 Ontario farmers cowed by US challenge By Barrie McKenna Toronto Globe and Mail WENDOVER, Ont.(CP) \u2014 An early-morning mist slowly lifts over the Delorme family\u2019s neat red-brick farmhouse, revealing a breathtaking view of the lush Ottawa Valley, the river and Quebec beyond.Since the turn of the century, three generations of Delormes have farmed at the top of an escarpment, 50 kilometres east of Ottawa.\u201cI doubt there will be a fourth generation of Delormes farming here,\u201d says dairy farmer Alain Delorme, 42.\u201cIf I get a good price, I'm for sale.\u201d Delorme is pessimistic about a looming trade battle with the United States.Last month the U.S.administration launched a challenge against the 25-year- old Canadian system that tightly controls the supply and price of nearly $10-billion worth of farm products in Canada, including milk, poultry and eggs.Pressured by American dairy farmers, the United States is pushing Canada to dismantle a new tariff wall this country erected on Jan.1.The tariffs replaced an almost-complete ban on imports of dairy products, chickens and eggs.Instead, an import quota was set for for each category of dairy product.Any additional imports from the United States or elsewhere have prohibitive tariffs slapped on them.Over the next six years, the tariffs are slated to fall gradual- lv and the volume of imports allowed into Canada will rise.But it's not happening fast enough for the Americans, who argue that all tariffs between the two countries must fall by 1998, or 10 years after the signing of the Canada-U.S.free trade agreement.The dispute is to go before a a binational panel.For Canadian farmers, a U.S.victory could see American milk flooding over the border, sending prices \u2014 and their incomes \u2014 tumbling.Ottawa insists it has a rock- solid legal case and will staunchly defend its tariffs and thereby protect the supply- \"management system.Like nearly all dairy farmers in Canada, the Delormes are paid the equivalent of 55 cents for every litre of milk they produce, compared with roughly 40 cents a litre for U.S.farmers.And like everyone else, their government-allocated quota allows the Delormes to sell a specific amount of unprocessed milk into the market every month, providing them with a stable income.A quota is a farmer\u2019s security.Quotas are bought and sold daily by farmers like shares on the stock market and the value of those quotas has remained high.In 1994, the average dairy farmer had nearly 28 per cent of his or her assets tied up in the quota.Nationally, dairy farmers have about $6 billion invested in quotas.The underlying fear of farmers is that a truly open border for farm products would render those quotas worthless overnight.\u201cOur quota won't be worth a thing,\u201d says Delorme\u2019s wife Lise-Anne Delorme, also 42.\u201cIt will all be lost.At least if you could rely on selling your busi- Job offers The Record and Canada Employment Centres across the Eastern Townships are publicizing job

\u201ccrest of a new wave.\u201d They are teachers, social workers, psychologists, former cops, paralegals, even lay people, and they're helping people sort out messy problems without the help of lawyers.They're mediators and in the past five years they've made significant inroads into turf once considered the exclusive domain of the Canadian legal profession.Mary Jane Klein describes herself as \u201can old social worker\u201d who went to law school so she could become a better mediator.She's the sole mediator at a firm called Winnipeg Family and Mediation Services.Klein says increasingly Canadians are looking for ways other than the courts to resolve disputes.\u201cThe courts can be so expensive and so antagonistic.It only takes one unreasonable lawyer to create a lot of expense.\u201d Jackie Cottingham-Bowery is joining the mediation boom.On Sept.5 in Winnipeg, she'll open Moving Forward \u2014 Conflict Management Professionals, with two partners and five associates.Cottingham-Bowery, who teaches social sciences at Confederation College in Thunder Bay, Ont., says her firm will help resolve family- related disputes such as separations and child-support payments.She says the advantage of mediated agreements, as opposed to court-imposed agreements, is that they last longer.\u201cAnd people come out of them feeling better.\u201d As well, the cost can be significantly lower.Mediation for a divorce usually costs between $105 to $175 a session, and usually about six to eight sessions are required.Both sides share the fees.But lawyers are not comple- Baby boomers facing the prospect of mammograms By Dr.Gillian Newstead For The Associated Press As baby boomer women move into their 40s, they're facing a tough question \u2014 an annual mammography,

Society says it is.At the core of the debate is a Canadian study that found little or no benefit for annual mammograms between ages 40 and 50.That study itself is the subject of debate.Critics say that it was deeply flawed, with mammography examinations that were not of optimal quality and were analysed by radiologists without the special training needed to make early detection of small breast

many cases the goodwill generated by a successfully mediated dispute can bring repeat business that a successfully litigated dispute, which often angers people, can never do.In 1994, the first alternative dispute mechanism annex in Canada was set up in a Toronto court.Judges can request that people try to resolve their cases in the annex, rather than taking up court time.Even the Divorce Act was amended about five years ago to require that lawyers first advise their clients of mediation services \u2014 such as marriage counsellors or parish priests \u2014 that are available.Dietary hint: Exercise By Charles Abbott _ WASHINGTON (Reuter) \u2014 The experts updating the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the U.S.government's tips for healthful eating, want to add this advice: Get some exercise.\u201cMany Americans are overweight and gain weight as they grow older,\u201d the nine-member panel says in its proposed revisions to the guidelines.It says exercise \u201cis an important way to use up food energy.\u201d \u201cTry to do 30 minutes or more of moderate physical activity on most \u2014 preferably all \u2014 days of the week.\u201d The new edition of the guidelines will be published late this year.The current version, issued in 1990, recommended Americans limit fat to providing 30 per cent or less of their daily calories \u2014 the first time the government suggested specific limits.Like the 1990 version, the updated guidelines would recommend Americans limit their fat intake, eat plenty of grains, fruits and vegetables, and choose a diet moderate in salt and sugar.They also would repeat the current advice: \u201cIf you drink alcoholic beverages, do so in moderation.\u201d The advisory panel's suggested revisions must be accepted by the Agriculture and Health departments.Copies of the revisions, completed in mid-June, were made available last week.The report recommends development of diet guidelines for children.The current versions are aimed at adults and not intended for children under two.Grains, fruits and vegetables would be given more prominence as dietary components under the panel\u2019s revisions but the most notable change would be the advice on weight.\u201cBalance the food you eat with physical activity.Maintain or improve your weight,\u201d the panel recommends because of concern about rising rates of obesity.Research says about 30 per cent of Americans are overweight.ce, Christine Ingram read a poem \u201cKitchen Aid\u201d and as each \u201caid\u201d was said, that item was presented to Kelley

downtown shopping centre.\u201cI have the feeling of being part of a very big family.\u201d Depardieu, with his stringy shoulder-length hair and bearlike physique, never stopped grinning while he was quizzed at a Saturday news conference.Whenever he mentioned one of his hits, such as the literary classic Cyrano de Bergerac or historical dramas like Danton or The Return of Martin Guerre, the galleries began applauding, prompting more Depar- dieu smiles.Equally star-struck reporters, who stood and clapped when Depardieu arrived, appeared more than happy to throw such softball questions as: \u201cHow do you manage to eat well and stay thin?\u201cI decided it in my mind.\u201d \u201cDo you ever find time to sleep?\u201d \u201cOh, yes, I sleep very well.\u201d \u201cHave you tried Quebec wines?\u201d \u201cI tasted one, it was very good,\u201d he said, adding in a roguish tone: \u201cI love all kinds of adventures.\u201d The 19th Montreal World Film festival kicked off Thursday with the Merchant-Ivory production Feast of July, one of 20 films in official competition for best feature.The winner is to be announced Sept.4.The contenders: \u2014 Secrets Shared with a Stranger

in the year ahead, your chances for advancement in your chosen field look hopeful, provided you build upon your present foundation instead of searching for greener pastures.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22)

hesitate to assert yourself in a development where you feel you're being put upon by another.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Make certain that anyone you praise today truly deserves your accolades.Flattery

get something from in return, you'll be severely disappointed.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) It will be important today to understand others like you for who and what you are.Your approval won't need to be embellished by pretense.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Confidential matters you hope to keep secret could become common knowledge at this time if you talk to the wrong people.Select those you trust carefully.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Examine you: motives honestly today regarding your treatment of a friend.Ask yourself if you're being cool just because you're a trifle envious.ARIES (March 21-April

will hold you to your word and won't let you wiggle out of it.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) It may prove wiser in the long run today to temporarily shelve a distasteful task.If your heart isn't in your work,

like it and the person doing the tickling keeps it up, there's more to it than just fun.\u201cSadistic\u201d is what you called it, and how right you are.Shortly after we were married, my husband used to sit on my legs, hold my hands down and tickle me until I screamed in agony and begged him to stop.He'd laugh and say, \"I'm just having little fun.\u201d One night, he nearly drove me crazy with his tickling.I screamed, \"If you don't stop, I'm going to spit in your face.\" He snapped back, \"You wouldn't dare!\" Well, I did it.He became so furious, he beat me senseless.The next day, I took my broken jaw, black eyes and five teeth (wrapped in a handkerchief) to a lawyer and filed for divorce.The lawyer (and my doctor) said I was lucky the lunatic didn't kill me - because he was a real nut.- GRAVEYARD HUMOR DEAR G.H.: Thanks for the eye opener.And congratulations on walking out - before you had to be carried out.Dear Ann Landers: I have attended four public functions in the past two weeks and am appalled at the number of people who, when the national anthem is played, start out with \"Oh, say, can you see by the dawn's early light\" and then stumble around and fake it until they

streaming\u201d and \"ramparts we watched\u201d?And that picturesque phrase \u201cat the twilight's last gleaming\" is a bit of a non sequitur after \"what so proudly we hailed.\u201d Francis Scott

luxuries.Nobody works.They are all in college (for which their father pays, of course).When I point out that his kids are taking advantage of him, he becomes sullen and uncommunicative.Our marriage

Sports 14\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, August 29, 1995 Daniel Nestor starts U.S.Open with big upset Gasping Seles still superior in first-round match NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Gasping for air at times, yet still superior in every aspect of the game, two-time U.S.Open champion Monica Seles extended her impressive comeback Monday with another lopsided victory.Seles, grunting as always, overpowered Ruxandra Drago- mir 6-3, 6-1.\u201cI think the whole match I was very nervous,\u201d Seles said.\u201cMy heart was so fast.\u201cI had so much energy and she just slowed down everything.\u201d Seles said she kept thinking about the match all day, not making plans on how to play, but just about the moment.\u201cl wasn\u2019t conscious out there,\u201d she said, adding that she got a boost from a young girl at courtside who kept urging her to, \u201cGo for it, Monica.\u201d After nervously double- faulting to start the match, Seles won the next four points and settled down into a rhythm that would take her to her 15th Local notes consecutive victory at the U.S.Open \u2014 seven apiece in 1991 and 1992 when she won, and one more now after a two-year interval.Seles didn\u2019t have an easy time in this match, despite the score.Dragomir, a Romanian ranked No.44, played well.Seles isn\u2019t yet in the best shape, even after winning the Canadian Open nine days ago, and there were moments when she bent over gasping for air following long rallies.The Toronto tournament was her first since April 1993 when she was stabbed at a tournament in Germany.The toll of returning to Grand Slam tennis after a long absence was evider.! in the number of unforced errors she hit \u2014 21 in a short match \u2014 but she also hit 20 winners, compared to Dragomir\u2019s eight.\u201cShe is unbelievable,\u201d Dra- gomir said after playing her for the first time.\u201cI couldn\u2019t even imagine that she is that good.\u201d Defending champion Arantxa Sanchez Vicario, reduced to a bit player in the Monica Seles Open, won in a yawn Monday in front of thousands of empty seats.Waiting for Monica was all anyone seemed to care about on the first day of the U.S.Open.The food courts were more crowded than the stands.\u201cIt is normal that all the attention is on Monica,\u201d Sanchez Vicario said.\u201cI mean, she is back, and after two years she is doing a great job.It is better in

in the win, but had to get used to a new pair of shoes in the third set.\u201cI had to change shoes in the third when the sole fell apart,\u201d said Nestor, 22.\u201cI lost the third set, but a lot of it was getting used to the shoes.\u201d No.4 Boris Becker beat Alex Lopez Moron 6-1, 6-0, 6-3, and unseeded Stefan Edberg defeated Martin Damm 6-0, 6-3, 7-6 (7-4).No.10 Wayne Ferreira lost 7-5, 7-6

Sports Players looking forward to road trip Olympic Stadium not very sweet for Expos By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Darrin Fletcher enjoys playing in Montreal, but like many of his Expos teammates he\u2019s just as happy the team starts a nine- game, West Coast road trip Tuesday night in San Diego.Home has been anything but sweet for the Expos in their last two stays at Olympic Stadium.They completed a 10-game homestand on Sunday, going 3-7.The Expos were 3-8 in the homestand before that.In between, they were 7-2 on a road swing through Houston, Philadelphia and New York.The homestand might have been even worse but for a one- hit shutout that Kirk Rueter Darrin Fletcher.\u2018Treating vis- ting teams well.\u2019 pitched in a 1-0 victory over San Francisco on Sunday.\u201cThis is our backyard, but the last couple of homestands we've been treating the visiting teams too well,\u201d said Fletcher, an Expos catcher.\u201cI wish I could put my finger on why we haven't played well at home lately.\u201d Expos pitcher Jeff Fassero said the club was hoping to build on its successful road trip when it returned home.\u201cIt just seemed that in most of the games we didn\u2019t score runs early and we started going through the motions after that,\u201d he said.In good seasons and bad, the Expos have usually been able to post a strong record at home.They've had only one losing season at Olympic Stadium in the last eight \u2014 in 1991, when they were 33-35.But that was a year when they didn\u2019t even have home games after Sept.9 because the stadium was closed when a concrete chunk fell from it.Two years ago, the Expos were 55-26 for the best home record in baseball.Last year, when they had the best overall record in the majors, they were 32-20 at home.This year\u2019s squad is 28-31 at Olympic Stadium, with 14 home games left.So why the struggles on the home front?\u201cI believe young players press more when they're in front of the home crowd,\u201d said Expos manager Felipe Alou.Tarasco suspended for three games Expos make minor deal for bullpen help CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Jose DeLeon was traded by the Chicago White Sox on Monday to the Montreal Expos for Jeff Shaw in a swap of right- handed relievers.DeLeon, 34, was 5-3 with a 5.19 earned-run average in 38 games, giving up 39 earned runs in 67 2-3 innings.Shaw, 29, was 1-6 with three saves and a 4.62 ERA in 50 games for the Expos.He allowed just two of 25 inherited runners to score, an 80 per cent rate, which is the best percentage among all major league relievers.Shaw, who pitched for Cleveland from 1990-92, has a 11-25 career record with five saves Baseball roundup and a 4.45 ERA.DeLeon is the second player the White Sox have traded recently.Outfielder Mike Devereaux was dealt to Atlanta last Friday.Commenting on the trade, Expos general manager Kevin Malone said he regarded DeLeon as someone who could stabilize Montreal\u2019s long- and middle-relief corps.\u201cHe can be used in the sixth or seventh inning, depending on the situation,\u201d explained Malone.\u201c(Expos manager) Felipe Alou knows him well.\u201cHe thinks DeLeon can easily be a set-up guy for (closer) Mel Rojas.\u201d Malone described Shaw as a Seven-run second sinks Jays CLEVELAND (AP) \u2014 Eddie Murray homered and singled during a seven-run second inning Monday night, powering the Cleveland Indians past the Toronto Blue Jays 9-1 for their fifth straight win.Murray led off the big inning with his 16th home run, then capped it with a two-run single that finished Giovanni Carrara (1-4).The home run was the 474th of Murray's career, one away from tying Stan Musial and Willie Stargell for 16th place.Paul Sorrento and Manny Ramirez also homered, and Kenny Lofton had four hits for the Indians, winners of nine of their last 10 games.They improved baseball's best record to 77-35.\" Winner Chad Ogea (7-3) gave up one run and seven hits in 5 2-3 innings, walking two and striking out three.Carlos Baerga drove in a run with a first-inning forceout, and the Indians ended all doubt when they sent 11 batters to the plate in the second.Murray started it with his home run, and two outs later, Sorrento hit his 22nd, making it 3-0.Shortstop Alex Gonzalez then threw wildly past first on Sandy Alomar\u2019s grounder, and the error opened the way to even more scoring.Lofton hit an RBI single, Omar Vizquel walked, Baerga singled home a run, Albert Belle hit an RBI double and Murray drove in two with a single.Five of the seven runs in the inning were unearned.Ramirez led off the third inning against Ken Robinson with his 30th of the year.The Blue Jays scored a run in the fourth on singles by Joe Carter and John Olerud and a sacrifice fly by Shawn Green.Royals 4 Yankees 3 National League MIAMI (AP) \u2014 The Florida Marlins came from behind twice and extended their home winning streak to 14 games Monday, sending the Houston Astros to a club-record 11th consecutive loss, 6-4.Quilvio Veras scored twice and drove in two runs for the Marlins, who completed a four- game sweep.Reds § Cardinals 2 Cubs 7 Braves 5 Rockies 6 Pirates 3 Piazza, Surhoff named players of the week NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Mike Piazza, who had eight homers and 14 runs batted in, was selected National League player of the week Monday.B.J.Surhoff of Milwaukee won American League honors.Piazza hit .467 and scored 13 runs for the Dodgers.He drove in seven runs on Sunday with a grand slam, a two-run homer and two doubles.Surhoff hit .464 as the Brewers won six of seven games.He had three homers and drove in 10 runs.hard worker, who gave everything he had out on the mound.\u201cBut we expected more from him,\u201d added the GM.In other off-field news, the Expos learned that the National League has suspended outfielder Tony Tarasco for three games after he walked toward the mound last Thursday night when San Francisco right- hander Sergio Valdez came in with a tight pitch.Tarasco was restrained by Giants catcher Kirt Manwa- ring as the dugouts emptied.No punches were thrown.Tarasco plans to appeal the suspension.He can continue to \u201cAnd we have a lot of young players this year.\u201cThe home-field advantage is something you earn.What we have to do is grow up again to the stature where we dominated on our field, where teams hated to come here and play against us.\u201d Alou said the 1993-94 clubs had achieved that stature.\u201cBut with the player losses we had after last season, we lost some of that stature,\u201d he added.\u201cLast year\u2019s club was a special club.\u201d play pending a decision on the appeal.Jeff Shaw.Traded to White Sox.Langway to SAN FRANCISCO (CP) \u2014 Rod Langway, a two-time winner of the Norris Trophy as the NHL\u2019s best defence- man, has signed with the San Francisco Spiders of the International Hockey League as a player-assistant

with the Washington Capitals.He captained the United States in the 1981, 1984 and 1987 Canada Cup tournaments.\u201cRod Langway will serve as a role model for our young defencemen,\u201d said Jean Perron, head coach and general manager of the IHL expansion team.\u201cHe instantly brings credibility to our organization and the entire league.\u201d Langway, a former Montreal Canadien, will be working with two young defencemen from the Montreal organization who have e play in IHL been loaned to the Spiders for the season.Brent Bilodeau, the team\u2019s first choice (17th overall) in the

glad to have the last remaining child of their union with us; Flo Hamilton who celebrated her 93rd birthday in June.It was a perfect day with sunshine but still cool under the shade of the many maple trees on the lawn.Everyone brought salads, hot dogs, hamburgers and Edna\u2019s beans.The food was set out on the tables in the house and where one helped themselves, then returned to the lawn to eat.It was the first time (this was the 15th reunion) that Edna\u2019s eldest son Harold from California was able to attend; also Mark Alain and his family from Ontario, son of Marion Hamilton.We were pleased to welcome them and they were sorry not to have been here before.Alan Mayo brought his game of horse shoes so everyone young and old had a turn.Marjorie Pedini and Frank Stanfil were the winners.Around 7:15 there were many who admired the deer who make their appearance across the road every night.We have had two does with little ones this year!! We had people from California, Brockton, East Bridgewater, North Attleboro, Attleboro, Mass., East Greenwitch, R.I., Vermont, Ottawa, Magog, Cowansville, Knowlton, Bedford, St.Lambert, Dorval, Brigham and of course Dunham.Everyone left for home with Auld Lang Syne ending the sing song with Jimmy and Shawn on guitars.Next reunion, the 12th of August, 1996, same place!
