be used to pay for Quebec's health care system, representatives of Quebec's 18,000 doctors said Thursday.The province should also collect income tax separately for health care, Dr.Clément Richer, a spokesman for the doctors, told a legislature committee.The committee is studying ways to control what Health Minister Marc-Yvan Coté calls a crisis in the financing of the $12-billion health-care system.The doctors, who were ferocious opponents of a reorganization of the health-care system Côté put through last year, insisted the system is cost-effective compared with other countries.They say the problem lies in declining transfer payments from Ottawa and the provincial government's desire to control its deficit.To make sure that money earmarked for health is spent on IT | ia ca

Taillon.Pictured are Rostad and Tail- lon with one of her exquisite pieces of art.health, a fund separate from the general treasury should be established to pay for the operations of the health system, Richer said.Federal and provincial government contributions would be paid into that fund along with money generated from taxes on aigarettes, alcohol, gasoline and proceeds from a health lottery, Richer said.The doctors said they would go along with charges for nonessential health services and room-and-board charges for hospital stays to raise money and suggested issuing a tax- deductible government bond.\u201cPolls tell us that citizens are ready to pay more for health as long as it goes to health,\u201d he said.\u201cWe don't think they are ready to invest more in structures or the bureaucracy.\u201d But the doctors reject the idea of a $5 user fee for visits to doctors because that would reduce accessibility to essential services.PROPOSED MEASURES Coté has proposed a series of measures to control the growth of the health budget, which he says 1s heading for a $1-billion to $2-billion annual deficit by 1996-1997.The proposals include a $5 user fee, charging hospital patients for room ; nd board and levying income tax on medical services.All of these propesals go against the Canadian Health Act's prohibition on charging for medical services.Coté and the doctors faced off last year in a major dispute over elements of a sweeping reform of the system that was adopted in August.The doctors stopped work, except for providing essential services, for three one-day study sessions last spring to protest the reform, The minister was eventually forced into a number of concessions to avert a strike and get his legislation through.Some of the bitterness of last summer's confrontation appeared evident in Côté\u2019s line of ques- ticning on Thursday.a w ol Shooting for the segment ends today and the finished piece will air in late March on

presentation, the province's largest employers\u2019 group advocated privatizing certain services in 1: spitals such as radiology and physiotherapy.Ghislain Dufour, president of the employers\u2019

states modelled after the European Community, if Ottawa\u2019s final constitutional offers are not satisfactory.Bourassa made the suggestion Thursday as he emerged from a meeting with about 20 members of the European Parliament.Such a proposal would be submitted to Quebecers in a referendum.The premier referred to the question he suggested for the ,1980 Quebec referendum on sovereignty-association: \u201cDo you want to replace the present constitutional system with two sovereign states associated in an economic union and responsible to an elected Parliament?\u201d Bourassa said such a question would fall within the guidelines of Quebec's Law 150, which says the government must hold a referendum on sovereignty by Oct.26 this year.But he immediately predicted that Parti Québécois Leader Jac ques Parizeau, who has dismissed the notion of a common parliament, would reject such a proposal.\u201cDoes such a question res pect the wording of Law 150?Mr Parizeau will say no.He'll say no to an economic union based on a puiitical structure.DISMISS IDEA At a news conference in Que- bee City, Parizeau did in fact respond by arguing the question did not fall within Law 150's guidelines.He went further and ridiculed the premier\u2019s idea.\u201cI don\u2019t think it's serious.| think it\u2019s a joke,\u201d Parizeau said, stifling laughter.\u201cBut maybe not for Mr.Bourassa.He's See

about his controversial Great Whale hydroelectric project.But it didn\u2019t happen.Several Green party members of the European parliament were invited to a reception Thursday at the Quebec delegation in the Only one turned up \u2014 Paul Lannoye, of Belgium, co-president of the parliament\u2019s Green caucus.About 20 members of other parties also attended.Lannoye didn\u2019t even raise the subject with Bourassa.He explained later that it was neither the time nor the place for Getty: What I really meant was.By Larry Johnsrude EDMONTON (CP) \u2014 Exactly four weeks after his bombshell suggestion that the language policy be scrapped, Premier Don Getty said Thursday he wants to see a united, bilingual Canada but bilingualism should not be enforced by law.\u201cI proposed that in Canada we recommit ourselves to the concept of bilingualism as a positive, fundamental characteristic of Canadian unity,\u201d he said.\u201c- But I believe the time has come that it should be bilingualism by choice.\u201d The Alberta premier returned home Thursday from a vacation that began the day after his speech to the Edmonton Rotary Club ignited a national debate on language policy.He failed to clarify at a news conference what he means by suggesting that bilingualism be removed from the force of law.\u201cThis is the very discussion I want to have,\u201d he said.\u201cSurely we can't be terrified about discussing how we feel.\u201d In his original speech Jan.9, Getty said \u201cenforced\u201d bilingualism is a national irritant and should be struck from the law books.He also called for anend to official multiculturalism.GOES GOLFING He left the next day for his annual golf vacation in Palm Springs, Calif., without clars- fying whether he was proposing an end to the 22-year-old Official Languages Act, or that language and cultural protections be removed from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.Getty was just as vague Thursday upon his return.\u201cWe have heard time and again that this issue is causing problems for Canadians,\u201d he said when pressed.\u201cThen let's have an intelligent discussion about i.\u201d He was also unclear on how voluntary bilingualism could succeed where official bilingualism has, in his opinion, failed.Getty's Jan.9 speech was both praised and condemned across Canada.Most federal politicians criticized the premier, but he was generally supported by Preston Manning, leader of the Alberta- based Reform party.Many people writing letters to newspapers 1n English Canada have said Getty's comments were long overdue.Victor Goldbloom, the country's official languages commissioner, came to Edmonton last week to say official bilingualism was not a veiled attempt to shove French down the throats of English-speaking Canadians, Getty's own health minister, Nancy Betkowski, defended bilingualism and criticized her boss for raising the inflammatory issue at a time when Quebec 1s pandering its future relationship with Canada, Former Alberta premier Peter Lougheed, breaking with his practice of not commenting on his successor\u2019s performance, said bilingualism \u201cgoes to the core, the very essence, of our country.\u201d Getty shrugged off the criti- asm from Lougheed.\u201cHe said he supports the phi- lusophy of bilingualism.So do I.He may have a different view on how that policy is applied.\u201d WANTS GENEROSITY Getty, born 58 years ago in the anglophone enclave of Wes- tmount in Montreal, has in the past called for a \u201cgenerosity in spirit\u201d toward Quebec to keep Canada united.ire satd tnat feeling hasn't changed.But he also defended his criticism of bilingualism, saving complaints about how the program 1s administered were a recurring theme in a report last year by a commission on Canada\u2019s future, headed by Keith Spi- cer.He defended his decision to raise the issue now.Getty said many Albertans feel they're ineligible for federal jobs because they can\u2019t speak French.\u201cThis is the Canada round\u201d of constitutional talks, he said.\u201cThis is the one where we were supposed to consult with the public and express their legitimate concerns.\u201d Let\u2019s end mean mood

to enhancement and development of the francophone community outside Quebec and the anglophone community in Quebec.The recommendation is in line with the proposal from associations representing the two language minorities.The idea of including à social charter in the Constitution received another boost Thursday when the Business Council on National Issues said it had no objections to it.William Stinson, a co- chairman of the powerful business lobby and chairman of Canadian Pacific, said he would have ne objections to a constitutional statement of social principles, as outlined earlier this week by NDP Leader Audrey McLaughlin.\u201cTo express those is fine,\u201d Stinson told the committee.But he said the business leaders represented by the council would have trouble if enshrined social principles could be enforced by the courts.McLaughlin's proposal would set out social rights to such things as food, clothing, shelter, medicare and education but would not allow the courts to enforce them.Instead, McLaughlin said a special panel of a reformed Senate should be responsible for monitoring progress and compliance.The idea of a social charter, backed by Ontario NDP Premier Bob Rae, has gained currency in the last days, picking up endorsa- tions from other business leaders, and delegates attending last week's constitutional confe- CLICHE REPETE A ECLAIRAGE DIFFERENT.EN RAISON OU

of Montreal are angry that rural Quebecers have been left out of the constitutional conference on identity, rights and values which begins in Toronto today.The meeting is the fourth of five conferences being held to discuss the federal government's constitutional proposals.Five anglophone Quebecers, all of them from Montreal, were invited to attend.They include Alliance Quebec president Bob Keaton, McGill rector David Johnston and Gazette columnist Gretta Chambers.Townshipper\u2019's Association executive director Susan Masti- ne said the government's own literature says the participants are supposed to represent \u201ca broad and balanced cross-section of Canadians, reflecting the make-up of the country.\u201d DONT REFLECT Mastine said anglophone Que- becers on the island of Montreal hardly reflect the values of rural Quebecers.Mastine said the seven regional anglophone associations were angry that they were ignored by conference organizers Leaders of the lobby groups made their objections known to Secretary of State Robert de Cotret, who met with the Quebec associations and francophone minority groups from across Canada Thursday night.But de Cotret said the government didn\u2019t inake up the invitation list.It was drawn up by the Niagara Institute which is hosting the weekend conference.Mastine said francophone minority groups were also angry about their lack of representation at the weekend meet.Both the anglophone and francophone lobby grouns took advantace of their pre-conference meeting with de Cotret to make some of their concerns known.The concerns, the same onces raised through months of constitutional conferences and talks, were about linguistic duality, distinct society and the notwithstanding clause.PROMOTE MINORITIES Mastine said Canada must realize there are two language groups all across the country and that all governments must not only guarantee acquired rights but also help promote minority communities b She added that the notwithstanding clause must be abolished because it contravenes basic civil rights, and said any definition of distinct society must include a mention of Quebec's anglophone community.\u201cQuebec is not one unique culture but a unique combination of cultures,\u201d she said.Mastine said she\u2019s countingon de Cotret to bring the group's message to Constitutional Affairs Minister Joe Clark.\u201cHe's our messenger and he has to have a strong voice to get our message to Joe Clark,\u201d she said.I Max Gros-Louis to PQ: \u2018Stop playing master\u2019 By Daniel Sanger QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 It would be a recipe for unrest if Quebec separated without first resolving aboriginal land claims and demands for self-government, one of the province's longest- serving native leaders said Thursday.Huron Grand Chief Max Gros- Louis told a committee studying sovereignty that he doesn\u2019t care one way or another whether Quebec stays part of Canada.In fact, few if any of the 2500 Huron in the province would vote in a referendum on the question, he said.Inuit By Helen Branswell OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A growing consensus on aboriginal rights should lead to agreement on several key native demands in the federal government's final constitutional package, Joe Clark said Thursday.But the constitutional affairs minister said compromise is needed on native demands for distinct society

question that would effectively give English Canada a veto over a Quebec referendum since it could refuse an economic union or a common Parliament.\u201cHe's just told the rest of Canada, \u2018You don't have to be worried by our little October referendum\u2019.\u201d Parizeau added: \u201cIt's a vision of Canada, not a vision of Que- But he warned that if Quebec decides to go its own way, it had better sit down and work out the basic grievances of its aboriginal groups.\u201cWe have no intention to deny the Quebec people their right to achieve their national ambitions,\u201d Gros-Louis said.But he added: \u201cIf the guarantees we demand are not acceptable, we reserve the legitimate right to defend, with our brothers and sisters and friends, here and elsewhere, our nation\u2019s historic rights.\u201d Asked what a legitimate defence might entail, Gros-Louis want other groups could create confusion and difficulty.Clark made the remarks at a news conference called by the Inuit Tapirisat \u2014 the group representing Inuit interests \u2014 to make public the association's constitutional positions.He said the current constitutional round should result in an acceptable definition of aboriginal self-government, a place at the table for native leaders at first ministers conferences on constitutional and economic issues and a mechanism to protect native languages and cultures.\u201cI'm determined to make their issues part of this package,\u201d he said.\u201cWe're not going to solve everything this round.But I think that we can deal with some of the basic questions this round.\u201d Clark agreed special provisions are needed to protect Inuit said smiling: \u201cI can\u2019t tell you everything.But if we get to that point we'll share it with you.\u201d Speaking to reporters later, he downplayed the idea of violence, suggesting that any war would be fought through the international media.\u201cThey (Quebec) shouldn't forget that their credibility is not that good already.We have a lot of friends in France and Britain and Germany.\u201d Gros-Louis's testimony, at times tense but most often good- natured, diverged sharply from that of another native leader who appeared before the committee on Tuesday.Jean-Maurice Matchewan said the 6600 Algonquin of Western Quebec would prefer to deal with Ottawa than an independent Quebec, even if relations with Ottawa have been strained.Gros-Louis said the Huron are probably the natives \u201cmost closely and intimately linked by blood and by sentiment with Quebecers\u201d because they were allies of the French in their colonial wars against the British.His words pleased Parti Québécois constitutional affairs critic Jacques Brassard, who called them \u201crefreshing.\u201d Brassard was less happy when Gros-Louis said that the Huron desire for sovereignty could extend as far as an independent state within Quebec.\u201cYou know what you want \u2014 we want the same thing.And before you get it we want guarantees that we can get it too,\u201d Gros- Louis said, adding: \u201cStop playing master.\u201d SPLIT QUEBEC His remarks prompted Brassard to ask: \u201cIf I understand you well.you would make Quebec into a sort of Swiss cheese, full of holes?\u201d Gros-Louis, in one of several quips that had the staid audience in stitches, responded: \u201cBut this time we'll give you the holes and we'll take the cheese.\u201d The Huron leader skimmed briefly over comments that raised a stink last month when he told a television audience of 10 million in France that there is a policy of genocide in Canada against native people.Seeming to anticipate questions about his remarks, he asked: \u201cWhat else do you call the almost complete destruction of a first nation, stripped of its ancestral land and confined to a minuscule reserve?\u201d distinct recognition too culture and languages, once safeguarded by isolation but now under assault from the south.- And an Inuit spokesman said an alternative to distinct society might be acceptable, if it provided cultural protection \u2014 and if distinct society status for Quebec didn\u2019t undercut that protection.\u201cWe're not so wedded to the term that we won't talk to the government if they can\u2019t find some other language,\u201d said Zebeedee Nungak, a member of the committee that produced the Inuit position paper.Meanwhile in Fredericton, the leader of the Assembly of First Nations said he sees signs of the public consensus of which Clark spoke.Ovide Mercredi said he believes the idea of native self- government is gaining momentum in Canada.Mercredi was in the New Brunswick capital to try to sell Premier Frank McKenna ontheidea of a premiers\u2019 meeting on aboriginal issues.Signs of consensus were not evident everywhere, however.In Quebec City, one of the province's veteran native leaders suggested it would be a recipe for unrest if Quebec separated without first resolving native land claims and the self-government issue.The Inuit Tapirisat\u2019s position paper calls for the inherent right of native self-government to be entrenched in the Constitution, distinct society status for native peoples and a guaranteed role in all federal-provincial negotiations on the Constitution and economy.\u201cThese principles are not simply matters of self-interest,\u201d said association president Rosemarie Kuptana.\u201cThey are matters outstanding on Canada\u2019s human rights agenda.They are as much national issues as they are Inuit and aboriginal issues.\u201d The paper, which was combi- led after extensive consulvstion with Inuit across the North, also supports the idea of a social charter.their position: out.and the economy.social charter.Inuit demands: OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Inuit leaders made public their demands for constitutional change Thursday.Here is a thumbnail sketch of Self-government: The current federal proposal is inadequate because it does not recognize native self-government as an inherent right of aboriginal peoples.Distinct society: The Constitution should recognize native peoples as distinct, as a means of protecting native cultures and languages.The Inuit appear willing to compromise on the term \u201c- distinct\u201d if another way of providing that protection can be worked Constitutional voice: Native peoples must have a

ieader said a common parliament might work for the European Community which has a multitude of member states.But in the Canadian context, it would just mean Quebec would continue to be subservient to

have no common political institutions.He mused about whether the term sovereignty as used in Law 150 means national sovereignty with or without economic union.There are different ways to apoly the definition of sovereignty, the premier said.Article 3 of Law 150 defines sovereignty as \u201cthe exclusive capacity of Quebec, through its democratic institutions, to pass laws, raise taxes on its territory and to conclude all forms of agreements or treaties with other independent states and to participate in different international organizations.\u201d Bourassa gave no further details on his formuia for associated states, but said the European Community could be used as an example.\u201cWe can\u2019t say the European situation is the same as Canada\u2019s.but it\u2019s clear we can take

flatbeds rolled out of Mansonville yesterday carrying the remaining small cannons from Space Research Corporation Center in Highwater where the famous Bull super-gun was manufactured.The super-gun was dismantled and carried away several months ago to be melted down at a foundry in Sorel.That left behind another 40 or so smaller cannons which a town official said were claimed by the Department of National Defence.The removal of the weapons from the expansive 950 hectare property addresses only part of an ongoing problem with the former weapons-testing range.The Potton municipal council wants the remaining dilapidated buildings and hazardous materials, which have been on the property since the Space Research Corporation went bankrupt 10 years ago, cleaned up as well.EXECUTE ORDER The town intends to execute a court order granted by Superior Court last fall which authorizes the municipality to clean up the property and bill the owner.The SRC site is owned by Mor- rocan businessman Saad Gabr through a numbered company \u2014 132297 Canada Inc.Gabr is a real-estate developer who bought up tons of real estate throughout in Sherbrooke, North Hatley and Mansonville then disappeared without a trace leaving abandoned property throughout the region.Mayor Jacques Marcoux said the town has received several formal complaints from neighbors who fear the former research center is courting disaster.Although access to the property is forbidden and there is a padlock on the gate, Marcoux said curiosity-seekers and vandals are seen there regularly.A study to determine what must be done to meet safety and sanitation standards was completed by the architectural firm Cimaise, and the property- owner has been notified of the recommendations.The study, completed last August, notes that all 10 buildings on the site \u2014 with the exception of the Security office \u2014 have been vandalized, and anything of value has been stolen.An inventory of hazardous tudents fig By Steve Meurice SHERBROOKE \u2014 A Sherbrooke University plan to give away its 200,000-specimen collection of plants has angered biology students at the school.The collection of dried plants, called a herbarium, includes every species of plant in Quebec, and most North American species, said Jean-Marc Lalonde, the technician who supervises the collection.The herbarium is the third biggest in the province and seventh biggest in Canada.But the university\u2019s biology department wants to get rid of the herbarium to make room for bio-technology laboratories, which will attract cash for research, Lalonde said.\u201cThe biology department has decided to concentrate on research because it brings in big grants, and the herbarium doesn\u2019t do that,\u201d he said.CONSULTED The giveaway

and social service facilities to get their nomination papers in.The deadline is next Thursday, Feb.13, at 5 p.m.Under reforms brought about by Law 120, there will be more representation by citizens on the boards of hospitals, community health centres (CLSCs) and rehabilitation centres.The boards will also have more power to determine the kinds of services that will be offered and the allocation of budgets to the various health and social service facilities.As much as 70 per cent of the boards will be made up of people elected from the community.The head of the regional health and social services council (CRSSSE) said they will all get training once they have been elected.NOT EXPERTS \u201cPeople don\u2019t have to be experts to sit on the boards,\u201d CRSSSE hcad Jean-Pierre Duplantie said at a news conference Thursday.\u201cWhat's needed is people interested in social and health problems, who are willing to share their knowledge and experience with the facility they've chosen, and who have a little spare time.\u201d Duplantie said the highly- complicated problems of the health network may seem a little overwhelming for new board members at first, but they will soon learn to deal with it.The board members will be elected for three-year terms.Any resident of Quebec who is 18-years-old or over can be nominated and vote in the election, which takes place March 9.Nomination forms, which must include the names of two nominators, should be dropped at the health or social service facility for which the person is running.These include all CLSCs, all hospitals except the St-Louis-de- Windsor hospital, the Centre de readaptation Estrie, and the Foyer du Sacre-Coeur in Magog.RECORD/GRANT SIMEON SHERBROOKE (AC) \u2014 Twenty trees in Quebec will be saved this year because an accounting firm has computerized its system, says one of the company's founders.Solution 2000, a tax firm and subsidiary of Informatrix 2000, uses nearly 400 tons of paper yearly but thanks to a new electronic filing system, that number will be reduced.Instead of sending income- tax returns to Revenue Canada through the mail, which uses up a lot of paper, \u201cWe will be transmitting this information from our computer to their computer,\u201d said Bernard Casiez, vice president of Infor- matrix 2000, a computer- software design company.It is the first time such a system is being used in Quebec, he said.In addition to helping the environment, the company also signed an agreement Wednesday with La Fondation québécoi se en environnent, donating 25¢ to the foundation for each income-tax return it files.REFUNDS QUICKER There is also good news for those who expect income tax refunds.Since the transmission of information to Revenu Canada will be done by computer, people will receive their returns Computerized tax-returns help save tons of paper and time more quickly.\u201cThe filing system reduces the time that people have to wait because some steps in the process have been eliminated as a result,\u201d Casiez said.\u201cInstead of waiting 6 to 8 weeks for a return people can expect it as early as three weeks after it has been sent.\u201d Also, mistakes caused by mail slowdowns will also be reduced with the use of the new system.The system, which is already being used in tax firms in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, will probably be installed in

mentally ill celebrated 10 years of existence Thursday.L'Association des Parents et Amis des Malades Mentaux de l'Estrie(APAMM), officially founded in October 1981, was the first resource centre created for the mentally ill in the Eastern Townships, said Andre Forest, director of the centre.\u201cWe created this centre because we noticed a flaw in the heaith care system for the mentally ill,\u201d Forest said at a reception celebrating the anniversary.\u201cBefore, the patient would be propelled from the hospital's psychiatric ward and into a normal environment and they and their caretaker had nobody to teach them how to adapt to this new situation.\u201d He said APAMM works as a counselling centre for mental patients, mainly schizophrenics and manic-depressives, who are making the transition from hospital to home, and their caretakers, who must adapt to their often-confusing behavior.BE PREPARED \u201cAt the centre we teach the family and friends of the mentally ill what bizzare behavior to expect from the patient so that they'll be prepared when it happens,\u201d Forest said.\u201cWe also help them learn how to adminis: ter the patient's medication properly.\u201d The centre organizes monthly visits where monitors provide information, referrals and mora) support to the caretaker.\u201cAt these meetings it's kind of a group discussion where we provide information on certain behaviors attributable to certain conditions, and how the caretaker can deal with them without getting too emotional.\u201d Forest said the centre, which survives mainly on donations provided by members of the community, has been receiving encouraging words from caretakers.\u201cA lot of caretakers have: been reporting fewer visits to the hospital,\u201d he

the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Unacceptable answers Where are health and welfare officials in the Eastern Townships and just what are we paying them to do?Stories in this week's paper make me wonder.Earlier this week a three- or four-year-old boy was found wandering the streets in the middle of the night.When the police found him and brought him home the father was drunk and a two-year-old sister was bawling.Youth protection officials took the children away and put them in an emergency shelter.The next day, after an interview with the father, child welfare authorities returned the children to their irresponsible father.Why?Is one short interview with the father enough for child welfare authorities to decide he is capable of taking care of his children when he so blatantly couldn\u2019t 24 hours earlier?I sure hope for the sake of those children that overworked child protection authorities will be able to keep an eye on the situation.Later in the week three elderly people were discovered dead in their Stanstead East home.They probably died of exposure, dehydration or they froze to death.They had been gnawed at by their starved cats.There was no food, water and little heat in the rundown home.In the meantime, concerned family, neighbors and members of the community repeatedly contacted the local community health clinic begging for help.Why didn\u2019t the CLSC act?The next day the director of the clinic said he couldn\u2019t have done anything to prevent the deaths.He said he told family and neighbors that something could be done if there were a serious doubt about the health or sanity of the three siblings and told them where to where to go for help.It was clear the community was depending on the CLSC do so something.Yet it didn\u2019t act.Who's responsible for the welfare of people who obviously can\u2019t care for themselves?How can a civilized society such as ours allow children to be endangered \u2014 even by a father who loves them?How can we allow elderly people to die such horrible deaths \u2014 even if they refuse the care they so obviously need?So many questions?So many unacceptable answers.That brings me back to my first question: Where are health and welfare officials in the Eastern Townships and just what are we paying them to do?RITA LEGAULT Letters Today in history Today in History Feb.7 1992

Quebec.The means of drawing people in are many and they are all slick, insidious, and expensive.Even magazines are getting in on the act.Maclean's issue of Jan.6 is almost entirely devoted to reporting on that magazine's forum held for twelve select Canadians at the posh Chateau Mon- tebello in Quebec last Dec.6 to 9.If the afterglow of mutual orgasm can be communicated in words and pictures, Maclean's has done it.The issue fairly gushes with self-congratulations.A few days in romantic and luxurious surroundings at someone else\u2019s expense does wonders for togetherness! The twenty-seven-million- minus-twelve were not all as comfortable, many looking upon the sparsest Christmas in years, their country closer to economic collapse than at any time since World War II and on the verge of being torn asunder by politicians who put their own careers and empires ahead of their country\u2019s very survival.Anyone who thinks that the efforts of the Mulroney and Bourassa governments in constitutional reform are about anything other than special status for Quebec is a fool.The current so-called 28- point plan is really a one-point plan with 27 grains of sand.Joe Clark has made it clear that everything is negotiable \u2014 except! Distinct Society is untouchable, he tells us.It was untouchable in Meech too.And this is Meech Two, in fact.Just as in Meech One, the federal government proposes that the constitution of Canada recognize Quebec as a distinct society \u2014 not the peole of Quebec; not Quebec society; not the province of Quebec \u2014 but \u201cQuebec\u201d.Let's not be lured or lulled into a dreamy stupor by the adjective.\u2018Distinct\u2019 is not the key element here.\u2018Society\u2019 is! What, in constitutional terms, is a SOCIETY?The question has to be answered; You stay out; we stay in and better before than after its adoption, for once the constitution of Canada defines Quebec as a society, Quebec WILL BE A SOCIETY \u2014 whatever it means \u2014 and not a province.If that isn\u2019t special status, what is it?(And, why it needs to be a \u2018distinct\u2019 society if it is the only society is not explained.) The late Eugene Forsey.in his memoirs, quoted a friend: A friend of long experience in these matters has written me that there are two kinds of Quebec nationalists: the honest and the dishonest.The honest are the separatists.The dishonest \u2018want.an independent Quebec in Canada and they are demanding of the rest of us that we reorganize Canada to accommodate them.\u2019 Ultimately they want \u2018a situation in which all of the decisions that really count will be made for the Quebec peole by their \u201cnational assembly\u201d in Quebec City\u2019, but with Quebec still keeping 75 members in the Canadian House of Commons, 24 members in the Canadian Senate.and a dozen or so ministers in the Canadian Cabinet, all playing a major part in decisions that would affect the nine provinces but would not touch Quebec in the least; making and unmaking Canadian governments; and.between times.drawing on the Canadian treasury for whatever money Quebec (Daniel Johnson's \u2018na: tion\u2019) wanted to supplement its own resources, and of course getting preferred access to lucrative Canadian contracts (what Mr.Bourassa poetically calls booty\u2019).Again: \u2018You stay out of our affairs.we stay very much in yours.\u2019 Quebéec would have the powers of a nation plus the powers of a province.The rest of the country would be in a state of neo-colonialism, with Quebec as the imperial power.As cynical as it may seem, the present charade of consultation is for one purpose \u2014 to distract the unwary from the slight of hand of the sorcerer.Once the reality is exposed to the light of day, it will be too late.DONALD L.HEALY Melbourne Trusteeship is the lesser of two evils Dear Editor: One should not be surprised to learn that the District School Board has severe budgetary problems.This is a board which has long had little foresight and an abject lack of administrative planning.A classic example was in 1986, when the board moved its offices out of the Goyer building and tore out classrooms at Heroes\u2019 Elementary so it could use a wing at the school.\u201cWe need to fully utilize the building,\u201d board members crowned, between snide remarks, at a stormy board meeting at the time.This, despite the fact student enrolle- ment at Heroes was on the increase and the Heroes\u2019 School Committee, armed with documents which projected a further population influx in the future, warned the board that the school, in time, would probably be cramped for space.Naturally, the inevitable happened and the board now plans to move to Massey-Vanier, so that four new classrooms can be constructed at Heroes.The cost?A cool $600,000, for which the provincial government will pick up the tab.In other words, taxpayers will bear the burden of the board's bungling.Arrogantly, the board, with its usual sleight of hand, will tell you it comes from the capital, rather than the operating budget.But that hardly dismisses its utter incompetence.According to the board, there is a deficit of almost $700,000 in its operating budget, which must be erased by 1993.Among the board\u2019s excuses for the budget overrun are increases in Hydro rates and not being reimbursed the GST by the Ministry of Transportation for transportation contracts.How is it that the ordinary household has learned to plan for inevitable rate increases by Hydro but this school board doesn\u2019t have the same foresight when preparing its budget?And failure to get the GST return would seem to be an admission of the board's own failure to be fully versed in the rules.As might be expected, the board now has an air of urgency as it combs through the carnage created by its wayward plans.Rest assured that once the cuts are complete there will be a further erosion in educational services.Sure, the board will make token sacrifices in its travel budget and administrative structure.With the hocus-pocus of Houdini it will slice job descriptions but do little to actually cut into a top-heavy administrative payroll.But hey, when it comes to students or this board\u2019s self-interest, guess what wins out every time?In the last several years, this board has demonstrated more of a concern for bricks and mortar than it has for the students and teachers in its system.The fact these same students and teachers have been able to thrive is a tribute not to the board but to teachers and support staff who are consistently willing to put in that extra effort.The program, unquestionably, is enriching, despite the fact the Director General of the District cf Did you know that.PRAIRIE

bring no argument from here.But it just seems that the director general of the English-language school board should be setting an example by vaunting the merits of his own product.After all, does Lee Iacocca, the chief officer of Chrysler, drive a Foard?It would seem the only solution for the District of Bedford board is trusteeship.It's not an attractive alternative, especially since this is the same provincial government which ridiculously keeps granting the board money to move all over town.But the current administration at the District of Bedford School Board has displayed a chronic inability to properly manage its budget.It is too blinded by its own self interests to examine the problems objectively.Trusteeship, under the circumstances, is the lesser of two evils.It would at least establish a clean slate, but up the old boys\u2019 club and its inherent cronyism.It would provide a detailed account of where and how money is being spent and \u2014 perhaps \u2014 a viable plan for the future.TERRY SCOTT East-Farnham Aptly described Dear Mr.Bury, With reference to Townships Week of January 17-24, 1 wish to commend your writer Tadeusz Letarte of Who's Who, on the

truly, H.CARL MAYHEW Ayer\u2019s CIiff By Lisa Schlein GENEVA (CP) \u2014 Underdeveloped countries should not hide behind their poverty to justify government repression, Canada told the UN Human Rights Commission on Thursday.\u201cHuman rights and democracy should be regarded as essential tools for development, and not just luxuries for wealthy countries,\u201d said Anne Park, head of the Canadian delegation to the commission.Park said human rights extend beyond the traditional concepts of avil and political rights.\u201cWithout human rights and a commitment to democratic principles and institutions, a society's potential for social and economic development is held back.\u201d Park was reacting to statements by leaders of dictatorial governments that political freedom, human rights and democracy have to be put on hold until the economies of their countries have improved.The UN commission, in the midst of its annual six-week session, puts the spotlight on human rights abuses around the world.\u201cPeople have to come here and be prepared to face what the international community says what's going on in their country and that's a powerful weapon in the problem of dealing with human rights,\u201d said Park.\u201cCountries are very sensitive about how they are perceived.\u201d VOTE OF CONFIDENCE Canada has been elected to serve a third term on the commission.Park said this was a vote of confidence in Canada\u2019s commitment to human rights.At this year\u2019s session, Canada intends to focus on human rights in some of the countries of the former Soviet Union, in the breakaway republics of Yugoslavia and in Sri Lanka and Iran.It will also deal with alleged violations by Iraq against its own people and during its seven-month occupation of Kuwait.Human rights abuses in Burma are of particular concern to Canada, Park said.Before coming here, the Canadian delegation consulted with about 150 representatives of domestic non-governmental organizations in Ottawa to hear their views on human rights.\u201c1 see it very much as my role here to make as much progress as 1 possibly can in representing those Poverty doesn\u2019t justify repression \u2014 Park interests here,\u201d said Park.Native rights will be discussed within the context of a report presented by the human rights sub- commission, The subcommission meets in the summer and is the chief UN body appointed to deal with indigenous issues.Two issues which are expected to arise during this commission meeting concern the International Indigenous Year 1993 and a motion to expand the working group on indigenous rights.\u201cCanada will be taking a lead in those two areas,\u201d said Park.\u201cMy sense is that there is a close cooperation between the government and native groups.\u201cIt's a high priority for us to see that that co-operation is maintained.\u201d On February 7, 1792.| Eastern Townships 200 today | SHERBROOKE \u2014 Two hundred years ago today, the Eastern Townships was officially opened to settlement.And that gives cause to celebrate.But in the context of today\u2019s unstable political climate, some anglophones might be wondering whether they and their families will be here in another year, let alone another 200.But many remain optimistic.Marissa Tessier, of the Towns- hippers\u2019 Association, says the past two centuries hold the key to surviving the next.\u201cIf you look at the past, the trials we went through, I think it's an indication that we can overcome the current political differences in the area for another 200 years,\u201d Tessier said Thursday.\u201cI certainly don\u2019t want to move from here.It\u2019s too beautiful.\u201d The announcement to open the Townships for settlement was made on Feb.7, 1792, in Quebec City by lieutenant-governor Alu- red Clarke.He told the newly formed Parliament of Lower Canada that the area would be surveyed and divided into townships.Most of what is now the part of Quebec located south of the St.Lawrence River had previously been closed to settlement \u2014 to maintain an unpopulated buffer zone between the newly- republican United States and the recently-conquered New France.A few maverick United Empire Loyalist settlers had built houses in the areas of Phillipsburg and Eaton Corner, but for the most part the area was uninhabited by man, except for visits by hunting and warrior bands \u2014 Mohawks from the west and Abe- naki from the north and south.The Constitution Act had been proclaimed on Dec.26, 1791, dividing the old province of Quebec into two provinces \u2014 Upper and Lower Canada.A British-style system of government was created and the new governor was .By Frank Lowenstein Lake Champlain Commitice If one follows the

background, replaced by flat cornfiel- \u201c ds.By the time the Richelieu River meets the Riviere du Sud (South River) only a dozen miles north of Lake Champlain, one is within the St.Lawrence Lowlands \u2014 a broad, low plain that stretches from Quebec City to Ottawa.Flatness is the dominant feature of the St.Lawrence lowlands.Where the Richelieu and the Riviere du Sud join, for example, changes in elevation of a foot or two mark changes from deep water to marsh to uplands.Winter\u2019s ice and snow can hide the boundaries between land and water.EXTENSION Although the landscapes seem quite different, in many ways the narrow, mountain-bordered Champlain Valley is a southern extension of the St.Lawrence Lowlands, and their natural history shaped the land and the economy of the Champi«in Valley.Some 12,000 years ago a vast responsible for dividing the province into electoral ridings.DUNHAM WAS FIRST Surveying was soon underway in what became the Eastern Townships, and the first of approximately a hundred townships \u2014 Dunham \u2014 was formed.The vast forests were being transformed into farmland in this region of 16,000 square kilometres, an area larger than countries such as Jamaica or Lebanon.In later years, the area was settled by United Empire Loyalists, New Englanders, Irish, Scottish, British and French Quebecers.\u201cWe're very proud of the contnbution English-speaking people have made to the Eastern Townships, and especially of the fact that the English and French have lived here in harmony and in peace and in good neighborliness,\u201d Tessier said.The bicentennial celebration is a \u201ctime for reflection,\u201d she said.\u201cIf you look at where you've come from and how you've come, it will definitely put us in the right direction for the future.\u201d The Townshippers Association plans to organize several events throughout the year with the 200th anniversary as a theme.The group's Heritage Essay Contest this year has

North fram LaR¥ Champlain) Without the existence ot the St.Lawrence Lowlands to the north, the Champlain Valley might have experienced neither the waters of Lake Vermont nor the Champlain Sea.And without these two episodes, the valley's soils would have resembled those of other areas of New England: a thin veneer of stony soil spread irregularly over a hilly landscape.The agriculture base that still sustains many communities of our region would not have existed.Plattsburgh and Burlington also benefit from this accident of geography.The relatively level lands of the Champlain Valley and the St.Lawrence Lowlands allow for quick and easy driving between Montreal and the two more southern cities, and commerce has benefited.These connections are another of the ways that we unknowingly depend on the lake and its history in our daily lives.Lake Look is a monthly natural history column produced by the Lake Champlain Committee, a 2250-member citizens conservation organization working in

Toronto.Some studies indicate that properly timing meals and workouts can increase metabolism \u2014 the rate at which your body burns calories.Fitness specialists agree that low-fat, high-carbohydrate meals are the wise choices for athletes and exercisers.But they don't all agree on the best times to eat and exercise, including how many minutes or hours should pass between meals and workouts.For instance, a study by researchers at the University of South Carolina indicates that exercising within 30 minutes after a meal helps burn calories faster.But Jean-Pierre Despres, an

Despres say the best times to exercise depend largely on a person's timetable, what and how much is eaten, and the type, intensity and duration of workouts.Generally, though, it's a good idea to wait at least two hours after a full meal before intense exercise, they say.\u201cIt's a matter of the body telling the gastro-intestinal tract to do its job before adding any other stress, such as exercise,\u201d says Desnres.Marmelo says cramping and other problems may occur because exercise stimulates blood flow, and if you exercise too soon after eating, the blood will flow to the stomach.Despres says he wouldn't prohibit mild exercise after meals, such as a short walk.Some people say it helps them digest food better.However, working out on an empty stomach may not be a good idea either.The body needs energy from muscle glycogen stores that can become depleted after several hours without food.CUP VALENTINE DANCE Lennoxville Rifle Club Saturday.February 8, 1992 Music by

than 25,000 farmers from across Canada are planning a massive demonstration on Parliament Hill in two weeks, Jacques Proulx, an organizer of the event, confirmed Thursday.Farmers in the Eastern Townships said Wednesday they were planning such a rally.They will converge on Ottawa on Feb.21 to protest the federal government's position on agricultural subsides at talks being held in Geneva as part of the General Agreement on Tariffs Feds urged to try harder in trade talks By Alex Binkley OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The federal government has done a good job defending farm marketing boards in international trade talks but it must try harder during the next few weeks, provincial agriculture ministers said Thursday.They were speaking after a half-day meeting with federal Agriculture Minister Bill McKnight that was dominated by discussion about a proposed world trade agreement and its impact on marketing boards.The ministers meet again today to talk about other farm issues.and Trade.\u201cThe Canadian negotiators at GATT are a bunch of incompetent bureaucrats who don\u2019t know a damn thing about farming,\u201d Proulx, president of the union representing Quebec farmers, said.\u201cThey're selling us out by dealing away agricultural subsidies in this country and causing the certain ruin of thousands of farm businesses.\u201d The GATT talks \u2014 called the Dunkel discussions because they were initiated by GATT secretary general Arthur Dunkel \u2014 are the proposed agreement, which has been under discussion for more than five years.Trade Minister Michael Wilson has already said Canada is prepared to sign an agreement along the lines of the proposed document but is seeking some changes.Alberta Agriculture Minister Ernie Isley said it\u2019s clear Canada doesn't have enough support at the GATT.\u201cIt's time to start thinking of a fallback.\u201d It won\u2019t be easy because at least 1,000 Ontario and Quebec farmers are planning to demonstrate outside the Agriculture By Larry Welsh The Canadian Press Interest rates are moving higher amid efforts to rescue the economy, raising questions about how far the federal government will go to bolster the recovery.As premiers prepare to discuss the economy Monday with Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, the Bank of Canada allowed the trend-setting bank rate to rise Thursday to 7.33 per cent for a total jump of one- quarter percentage point during the last two weeks.The bank rate rose in defence of the Canadian dollar, which slumped this week to its lowest level in more than 18 months as another flurry of bad economic news arrived.The increase in the bank rate left borrowers holding their breath about whether major banks would push loan charges up for the first time in almost two years.And it dismayed some who believe the federal government should allow the Canadian dollar to fall in order to stimulate exports and breathe life into the faltering economy.\u201cThis means more lost jobs, more plant closures,\u201d said Liberal MP Jim Peterson.Some economists believe the federal government wants to halt the dollar's slide, fearing a weaker currency would push up prices for imported products and heat up inflation.LOWER RATES The Canadian dollar closed Thursday at 84.67 cents US, well below a peak of about 89.5 cents US last November.\u201cIt would be nice to lower interest rates, but John Crow (governor of the Bank of Canada) has got an inflation target and if the Canadian dollar goes to 8C cents US, you can kiss that inflation target goodbye,\u201d said Mike Manford, chief economist at ScotiaMcLeod Inc.\u201cIt's called being between a rock and a hard place.\u201d Other economists believe there's little worry about rekin- How far will feds go to boost economy?dling inflation while the economy remains very weak.\u201cWhen the economy is flat onits back as it has been recently, there\u2019s very little power on the part of Canadian companies and retailers to push prices up,\u201d said Ted Carmichael, senior economist at Burns Fry.He believes the annual inflation rate fell below two per cent in January from 3.8 per cent in December, once the introduction of the GST no longer influenced annual price changes.Statistics Canada is scheduled to report later this month what happened to inflation in January.PREVENT RUN Junior Finance Minister John McDermid defended the rise in the bank rate, saying the Bank of Canada preserved international confidence in the Canadian dollar.\u201cThe bank moved last week to prevent a run on our Canadian dollar, which I think was a prudent thing to do.\u201d The bank rate increased marginally Thursday to 7.33 per cent from 7.29 per cent.\u201cIt's a levelling off period and a cooling off period.I think that the bank made the right move.\u201d But Manford said the incident shows how international money markets can get in the way of federal government cfforts to encourage an orderly easing in interest rates and the Canadian dollar.\u201cThis whole issue is getting a little bit in the way of what monetary policy would like to do, which is to lower interest rates.\u201d For now, the rise in the bank rate proably won't harm the economy as long as it\u2019s limited to a brief upward blip, Carmichael believes.\u201cI don\u2019t think that theres any significant risk in this of derailing a recovery.\u201cThe recovery basically has been held back by other factors relating to consumer confidence and excessive debt levels.\u201d BE A CHALLENGE \u20182 EMPLOYER.HIRE A STUDENT.®

competition in the 108 countries which belong to GATT.That might be good for consumers in the short run, he agreed.But, it would eventually drive up food prices because the agriculture industry would become concentrated in the hands of a few giant multinational companies.\u201cThe gamble of Mr.Dunkel is that, in reducing agricultural Department building where the ministers are meeting.The farmers are calling on Ottawa to continue to press for changes in the agreement that will allow the boards to continue operating.The agreement would force Canada to abandon the import controls it uses to protect dairy, egg and poultry farmers from cheap imports.Replacing the controls with a system of tariffs that would be reduced over six years would kill off thousands of Canadian farmers, the boards say.Canada wants controls retained and expanded to cover food imports made mainly of dairy, egg and poultry products.FEW ALLIES But Agriculture Minister Bill McKnight said Canada hasn't found many allies for that position among the 108 members of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.Chill out: publisher subsidies, the revenues of farmers will also decline,\u201d Proulx said at a media briefing.\u201cThat will consequently cause producers to abandon their farms.and we'll return to the middle ages \u2014 with the large food companies as the lords and the farmers as the peasants.\u201d Agricultural economist Claude Lafleur said Thursday that the total amount of government subsidies around the world is about $300 billion.\u201cIn Canada, governments give out about $7 billion to farmers in the form of direct subsi- British Columbia Agriculture Minister Bill Barlee said the United States is trying to quash the boards so it can expand markets for its own farmers.It is important to the economic health of rural Canada to keep the marketing boards, he said.Ontario Agriculture Minister Elmer Buchanan said the federal government has to be more vigorous in its defence of marketing boards.McKnight has to take Canada\u2019s message to Washington, he said.He said Canada should be prepared to say it won't sign the proposed trade agreement unless it includes protection for the boards.McKnight said he has spoken to his American and European counterparts on the marketing board issue and plans to keep talking.By early March, countries are supposed to spell out the

conglomerate, despite threats of legal action.Macmillan Canada was at the centre of a storm in the publishing world two weeks ago when it dropped plans for a book about the giant Hees International because the company had threatened to sue.Hees is owned by a branch of the Bronfman family.Macmillan president Ron Besse said Wednesday he expects the book, by Toronto journalist Kimberl2y Noble, to be published this fall.The Toronto-based publishing house has retained a libel lawyer to oversee the manuscript, expected to be finished in March.\u201cWe have been reconsidering whether to publish the book, and have been satisfied that it will be well-documented,\u201d said Besse.\u201cThe finished manuscript will be read for possible libel and if we're satisfied we will publish in the fall.\u201d Besse said warnings of legal action by Hees International were \u201ca clear case of intimidation \u2014 a clear case of libel chill.\u201d Libel chill refers to self- censorship among writers and publishers who are afraid of being sued.LONG CONCERNED Hees International president Bill L'Heureux told Besse in a Jan.22 letter that the company has long been concerned with Noble's

signed a free trade agreement with the United States which means that cheaper American food will soon be able to freely enter the Canadian market.\u201cWe're not saying the government should keep giving us more and more money,\u201d said Proulx.\u201cBut there should be a managed system of subsidies so that farmers, who need help, will gett and those who can compete with the Americans will have to go it alone.\u201cBut if our negotiators in Geneva simply sign a deal which prevents all form of subsidies to farmers, then we'll be hung out to dry and our way of life will be lost.\u201d

patients lack Cl esterase inhibitor This causes attacks of swelling of the extremities, part of the intestine or the upper airway.Edema of the arms or legs is not a hazard to health; however, when the sudden swelling affects part of the bowel, nausea, vomiting and signs of obstruction may appear.Swelling of the upper airway can lead to asphyxiation.Because attacks of angioedema of - ten follow trauma, such as surgery or extensive dental work, many experts recommend prophylactic transfusions of fresh frozen plasma, a blood product containing normal quantities of C1 esterase inhibitor.Such transfusions, when given well in advance of the surgery, will prevent angioedema by supplying the deficient enzyme.For long-term prophylaxis, male hormone treatments appear effective.Men are given testosterone by mouth; women are prescribed less potent hormones, such as stanozolol.Angioedema, although rare, can cause serious consequences in many patients.Therefore, I suggest vou meet with your children\u2019s pediatrician for an in-depth discussion of the disorder.In particular.as a parent, I'd want to know the benefits and risks of chronic therapy for prevention.DEAR DR.GOTT A relative has been using acupuncture for the treatment of depression and arthritis.Is this appropriate therapy?DEAR READER: I don't know.After much enthusiasm about this technique, based on Chinese reports of patients undergoing major surgery under acupuncture anesthesia, American doctors\u2019 ardor has cooled somewhat.Certainly, there is a place for acupuncture but its role is not well defined.Without a doubt, acupuncture will not cure depression or arthritis, al though it may improve symptoms in some patients.In any case, acupuncture is safe when performed by a reputable professional.Therefore, if your relative experiences relief of melancholy and pain, fine.However, I believe that anti-depressant drugs and anti-inflammatory medicine would probably be more appropriate therapy.These should be prescribed by a physician who is familiar with your health.To provide additional information on these conditions, I am sending you free copies of my Health Reports \u201cUnderstanding Osteoarthritis\u201d and \u201cMental and Emotional Illness.\u201d Other readers who would like copies should send $1.25 for each report plus a long, self-addressed.stamped envelope to P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title(s).DEAR DR.GUTT: Will the consumption of beer cause high blood pressure and a high cholesterol level?My wife and I have a hot argument going and would like your comments.DEAR READER: Like many issues, the key element here is moderation.A couple of beers a day will not affect a person's health.This moderate amount will neither raise the cholesterol level nor affect the blood pressure.On the other hand.excessive beer consumption (more than six cans a day) is associated with many ill effects, including hypertension, heart disease, liver disorders, pancreatic inflammation, alteration in blood fats and disordered thinking \u2014 in short, all the consequences of alcoholism.Unfortunately.many drinkers do not consider beer to be alcohol, on a par, say, with whiskey or gin.Therefore, beers \u201cdon\u2019t count\u201d when estimating alcohol consumption.Such thinking is incorrect.Beer contains alcohol, which affects the body in exactly the same ways alcohol from any other source does.The answer to your question, then, is yes and no.I suggest you limit your beer intake and find a more interesting topic about which to disagree with your wife.To provide further information on high blood pressure, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report \u201cHypertension.\u201d Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 plus a long, self-addressed.stamped envelope to P.O.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DR.GOTT PETER.GOTT, M.D.Mike Allatt 842-2698 Barbara Allatt 842-2170 Resident Agents Saturday, February 8th Hockey - Final Broomball - Final Carnival Dance \u201cMid-Life Crisis\u201d Sunday, February 9th Parade Closing Ceremonies \u201cGreat Duck Race\u201d Trophies, medals, raffle arnival eekend Location 1 p.m.Skating Rink 2 p.m.Skating Rink 9 p.m.Legion 11:30 a.m.4:30 p.m.Comphments of: Patisserie JEANIE\u2019S Bakery EAN BISHOP.Prop Poor PON 0S SORTHHNTLEY fogs Co OUF fel: 819 - 842-4305 Res.: 819 - 569-0015 Elirobeth Rrdpoth 838-5830 a | WMEUBLES = COURTIER & Lties - srOK Specializing in your needs in the North Hatley, Lake Massawippi area d - (.AL Claude Ostiquy 838-4621 Village Center Train Track Bridge Legion Fixed Rates / No Meter Welcome to the Carnival!

of physical strength and endurance, and in some cases serious illness.Yet elderly people have advantages the young don't enjoy.In fact, the «sunset years» can be the most fulfilling of all.Author Henry Durbanville wrote, «I feel so sorry for foiks who don\u2019t like to grow old.1 revel in my years.They enrich me.If God should say to me, \u2018I will let you begin over again and you may have your youth back once more,\u2019 I should say, \u2018If you do not mind, I prefer to go on growing old.\u2019 I would not exchange the peace of mind, the THE BEST AGE They shall still bear fruit in old age.\u2014 Psalm 92:14 abiding rest of soul, the measure of wisdom I have gained from the sweet and bitter and perplexing experiences of life.These are the best years of my life \u2014 the sweetest, and the most free from anxious care.The way grows brighter, the birds sing sweeter, the winds blow softer, the sun shines more radiantly than ever before\u2026 My loutward man' is perishing, but my tinward man\u2019 is being joyously renewed day by ay.» We're all growing older, no matter what our age.So let's honor God and rejoice in the good things that are ours.Then when we reach that golden plateau, we too will find it to be the best age.\u2014 RW.D.As sunset falls upon one\u2019s life, Its golden rays reveal Those qualities of faith and love The years have made so real.\u2014

VAL-d'ISERE, France (CP) The Canadian men got their first taste of the Olympic downhill Thursday, and the steep, technically demanding course bit back.Brian Stemmle of Aurora, Ont., and Roman Torn of Burna- by, B.C., both crashed on the 3,048-metre course called The Face, designed by former Olympic champion Bernhard Russi.Neither was seriously hurt.Stemmle brushed by reporters and refused interviews.\u201cI'm going to take off, sorry,\u201d was all he said as he stomped past.Germany's Markus Wasmeier had the day's fastest time in 1:52.64.Austria\u2019s Guenther Mader was next in 1:52.87, and commented: \u201cIt's a course for very technical downhillers, indeed.\u201d France's Denis Rey was third in 1:53.03.Switzerland's Franz Heinzer, winner of four World Cup downhills this season and a favorite for the Olympic gold, was seventh.\u201cThere are 21 or 22 corners and normally there is only 15,\u201d said Heinzer.\u201cIts new for me and downhill.It\u2019s not so fast.The course is frustrating because it\u2019s very soft.\u201d Cary Mullen of Banff, Alta.was the top Canadian, 29th in 1:56.28.Felix Belczyk of Castlegar, B.C., was 36th in 1:56.61, followed by Edmonton's Edi Podi- vinsky in 1:56.69 and Rob Cros- san of Barrie, Ont., in 2:01.01.BUSY DAY Belczyk, at 30 the veteran of the Canadian team, called the course busy.\u201cThings come at you very quickly, but the overall speed of the course isn\u2019t that high,\u201d he said.\u201cYou're sort of always busy, with something coming at you.\u201d Podivinsky, sporting the early stages of a beard, said the course is unforgiving.\u201cYou don\u2019t have a second to sit back and think about the mistake you made,\u201d he said.\u201cYou have to keep looking way ahead.The turns are relentless.They are some of the biggest turns we've seen this year.\u201d Stemmle fell about two-thirds of the way down.He landed badly from a jump and was fighting to get his skis back under him when a ski tip clipped a gate, sending him spinning.A team official said he had a sore shoulder and knee.Torn re-injured a bruise at the top of his ski boot but said he felt better after it was iced.The French, who had two extra days practice for Sunday's race on the Olympic course, pleased the home crowd by placing three skiers in the top five.The fans, enjoying a mild, sunny day in bleachers at the finish line, cheered each time a Frenchman wheeled into the stadium.Swede team laced with former NHLers MERIBEL, France (CP) - - The invasion has become a retreat of sorts, and this could help Sweden win its first Olympic hockey gold medal.Swedes led the influx of European players into North American hockey in the early 1970s, with the likes of Borje Salming, Inge Hammarstrom, Ulf Nilsson and Anders Hedberg.A steady stream of compatriots followed.But several of Sweden's top players have opted to return to their homeland.Sweden, the bronze medallist at the last three Olympics, opens the 1992 Games as defending world champion, widely favored to win at Meribel on the strength OLYMPICS ~ February 8 The traditional procession of Olympic athletes ushers in a new era of competition as the spectacular opening ceremonies welcome the world to Albertville, France, for the 16th Olympic Winter Games.: The impact of dramatic worldwide political changes will be reflected in these ing events.The br the Soviet Union is a so affect medal distribution OLYMPICS February 9 The first fuil day of Olympic competition begins with men\u2019s downhill skiing from Val d\u2019Isere.World Cup champion Franz Heinzer of Switzerland is the favorite, but he will get plenty of competition from other highly regarded downhillers including Norway's Atle Skaardal and the United States\u2019 A.J.Kitt.Ski jumpers will soar over the town of Courchevel in of a high-powered attack led by one-time NHL top guns.The Swedes have three former NHL all-stars \u2014 something no other team in the Olympics can boast.Up front are former Calgary Flame Hakan Loob, the first Swede to score 50 goals in the NHL, and Mats Naslund, who helped the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in 1985-86.Joining them is Bengt Gus- tafsson, one of the NHL's top two-way forwards when he was with the Washington Capitals.And Sweden has a supporting cast of less famous but no less talented players.On defence will be the 40-year-old Salming, who played 17 distinguished seasons in the NHL, 16 with the Toronto Maple Leafs.\u201cSweden just has so many experienced players,\u201d says Dave King, head coach of Canada\u2019s Olympic team.\u201cThey have a great team.They're going to be really tough.Loob is still one of te best players internationally.\u201d For many Swedes, even big- money contracts couldn't keep them in North America.The gruelling NHL schedule is a consideration.And many players have school-age children they prefer to raise in Sweden.Salaries in Sweden still fall short of the NHL but have improved dramatically in recent years.Additionally, Swedish teams offer a multitude of business opportunities once a man\u2019s piaving days are over.The infusion of NHL experience into Swedish hockey has created a potent hybrid.Long respected for speed and skill, the Swedish game has taken on a new dimension \u2014 toughness.\u201cObviously it would be nice to end my career by winning a gold medal,\u201d Salming says.\u201c- But I don't know if this will make up for never winning a Stanley Cup.\u201d Record Canada\u2019s Bedard is medal hopeful of my programs when I stopped, the music would still be going on By Neil Stevens ALBERTVILLE (CP) \u2014 When Myriam Bedard won her first biathlon in Europe several years ago, she had to wait 15 minutes before event organizers posted her name atop the leader board.\u201cThey didn\u2019t know how to spell my name because they never expected a Canadian to win.\u201d Today, Bedard, 22, from the Quebec City suburb of Neufcha- tel, is among the best womenin a sport that combines cross- country skiing and shooting.She was second in the World Cup series last year.With the women\u2019s biathlon an Olympic medal sport for the first time, Bedard is one of the favorites in the 7.5-kilometre race Tuesday.She might be the first Canadian to win a medal at the 16th Winter Games.If that happens, biathlon \u2014 which ranks in Canadian spectator appeal right up there with trout fishing \u2014 might inch its way higher in public perception.\u201cIf I am successful, maybe it will help young people involved in the sport to have hope,\u201d she said Thursday.\u201cUsually, the young kids go into a sport if they have some picture of people in their country doing it.So I hope I will make a good picture for them.\u201d The 7.5-kilometre biathlon sprint is interrupted by two shooting sessions of five .22-cali- bre bullets at targets from 50 metres.There is a 150-metre penalty loop for each target missed.LATE START Bedard took up the sport at age 16 and has been in serious international competition for only three years.She used to be a figure skater.\u201cI was good in the jumps but I was very bad in the artistic parts,\u201d she recalls.\u201cAt the end and on.\u201d £ At 16, she joined a cadet group at Canadian Forces Base Val Cartier because she enjoyed the recreational activities.She learned to shoot, and won her first biathlon competition at the base \u2014 in her first time skiing.\u201cIt was all an accident that I started,\u201d says Bedard.\u201cBut 1 began enjoying it so I went out and bought my own skis.\u201cPeople are surprised now that I advanced so fast in the sport.They say it is not normal, but in my family everybody has a big engine.\u201d Training is going well, Bedard says, but she won't play up her chances because of race-day variables such as wind, snow and ski wax.Any racer among the top 15 could win a medal depending on conditions, she says.\u201cThe press does what it wants with your name.If they ° want to say I am a Canadian medal hope they can say it.I think I have as much chance as the others, but our sport is not like figure skating where the results are almost sure.If (a figure skater) does not fall she is going to win a medal if she is one of the best.\u201cFor us, it is different.But I am ready.\u201d since the former Soviet re- the 90-meter ition.In -

the Lennoxville-Ascot Minor Hockey Association should affiliate with the Sherbrooke league is not the question, according to a member of its executive.What bothers Karl Hunting and other people associated with the Lenn-Ascot association {LAMHA)is the way the proposed Sherbrooke affiliation has been handled so far.The executive committee of LAMHA voted on Jan.17 to go ahead with a mandate to negotiate joining forces with Sherbrooke.Three days later, president Roger Belanger sent a letter to the municipalities of Lennoxville and Ascot which informed them of the possibility of LAMHA joining Sherbrooke.Belanger then met with representatives of Sherbrooke minor hockey to discuss an affiliation.Hunting said he felt the whole situation wasn't handled properly.REAL ISSUE \u201cThere are good points and bad points to any affiliation,\u201d Hunting said a letter addressed to parents with children in Lenn- Ascot Minor Hockey.\u201cHowever, we feel the real issue here is the way it was handled, fast and without informing the parents or giving them a say in the matter.\u201d \u201cWe feel very strongly that the parents should be able to decide where their child plays hockey,\u201d the letter said.The letter, signed by Hunting and Alan Young \u2014 who is also on the executive, said the young hockey players\u2019 parents weren't properly informed.\u201cWhat we want is a public meeting\u201d to see if parents are interested in joining with Sherbrooke hockey, Hunting said in a phone interview Thursday.NO ICE TIME The letter Belanger wrote to Lennoxville and Ascot said among other reasons for joining Sherbrooke, the LAMHA coul- dn\u2019t get adequate ice time for the teams.Hunting, who is in charge of scheduling, said the association got enough time at the W.B.Gaiters

Champlain Cougars finally broke out.The Cougars exploded for seven goals in the third period to breeze by André-Laurendeau 13-0 in Major College hockey action Wednesday night at W.B.Scott arena.Terry Smith earned an easy shutout.The Cougars outshot their opponents 72-14.\u201cWe played all four lines, and all were scoring,\u201d Cougar head coach Cliff Goodwin said.The most productive Champlain line was the Steve Bianchi, Jean-Marc Zucco and Martin Wanadi combination with a total of six goals.Bianchi scored three times, Zucco twice and Wanadi added another.The Sebastien Bagley, Bruce McNulty and John St.Pierre line scored four goals.Bagley had two, while McNulty and St.Pierre each had one.Stuart King, on a line with Paul Johnson and Yanik Asselin, scored two goals.Mark Lambert scored the other one for the Cougars.GOOD TIME Goodwin said it was a good time for the Cougars to get their offence going.Champlain has an important two-game series with first-place St.Laurent and they'll need the extra offensive output, Goodwin said.The Cou- Sport shorts MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The Montreal Canadiens have sent goaltender Roland Melanson to Fredericton of the AHL for conditioning, the National Hockey League club announced Thursday.Melanson, 31, has been out of action since Jan.11 with a groin injury.The Moncton, N.B., native last started a game on Dec.19 in Chicago, when he was pulled early in the second period after allowing four goals.Andre Racicot has filled in for Melanson as backup to No.1 goaltender Patrick Roy.General manager Serge Savard said no decision was made on whether to keep Racicot with the NHL team for the rest of the season.ding into the big one.\u201cThis is the biggest game of the year for us,\u201d Gaiters head coach Eddie Pomykala said Thursday in his office.The Gaiters tip-off against the McGill Redmen Friday night in the second game of a basketball double-header.The Lady Gaiters meet the Marletts in the first game.\u201cThe season depends on how we do against McGill,\u201d said Pomykala, now in his eighth year at Bishop's.The two teams tip-off twice more this season, including in tonight\u2019s game.McGill and Bishop's have faced each other twice this season in the Ontario Universities Athletic Association St.Lawrence division.The teams split the series, with Bishop's winning 96-74 in Lennoxville Jan.12 and the Redmen beating the Gaiters

North Country Community College Saints, but the game was cancelled.Goodwin said the reason for the cancellation was the death of an important member of the school.The Cougar head coach added that the team will probably benefit from a rest.Terry Smith.Stopped 14 shots.SYRACUSE, N.Y.(AP) \u2014 The CFL is considering Syracuse for one of its 1993 expansion franchises, it was reported Thursday.\u201cSyracuse would be a wonderful (site), because of its location and because of its facility (the Carrier Dome),\u201d Suzan Waks, co-chairman of the league\u2019s expansion committee, told the Syracuse Post-Standard.Owners in the eight-team CFL have said they hope to expand by at least two franchises in time for the 1993 season, preferably targeting medium-sized U.S.cities near the border.Other American cities mentioned as potential franchise sites are Portland, Ore., Detroit and Toledo, Ohio, said Greg Fulton, secretary-treasurer of the CFL.in overtime on a Hail Mary, centre-court shot 83-81 in Montreal Jan.21.The Gaiters were up by 21 points at the half in the overtime loss to McGill but couldn't hold the lead.SICK FEELING \u201cIt gives you a sick feeling in your stomach when you think about that game,\u201d Pomykala said bluntly.\u201cThere are no excuses tomorrow night.\u201d He said because of the Gaiters\u2019 \u201cschedule trom Hell\u201d in January, the team couldn't practice regularly.Now that their schedule is a bit more lax, Pomykala said the team has gone back to basics with their defensive scheme.\u201cIf we're going to win the game, it will be with hard-nosed defence,\u201d he said.\u201cBoth teams think they should win.The team that adheres to their game plan will win.\u201d Scott arena where all the games are played.In all, there are 160

where about half the hockey players come from, could organize a league of their own.Hunting said he talked to the Border hockey association, which runs successfully with 60 hockey players.At present, the LAMHA is awaiting acceptance or refusal from Sherbrooke.\u201cAll we want is to get this out in the open,\u201d he said.Belanger couldn't be reached Thursday night and declined to comment on the situation last week.of season AT HOME Pomykala added that it's a pleasure to play at home, especially since this week is Carnival Week at Bishop's.The home crowd may be bigger than usual, which the players appreciate, he said.The Gaiters are healthy, with the exception of an injured Tom Van Alstine, who twisted his ankle in practice earlier this week.He may still play against McGill.The first four out of five teams in the league make the playoffs and Bishop's, McGill and Carle- ton each have won two games a piece.Pomykala said the Gaiters know the games against McGill will decide the post-season players, and they're ready for it.\u201cIt's show what you can do time,\u201d he said.The game starts at 8:30.Expos, Carter agree to one-year contract MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Catcher Gary Carter confirmed his return to the Montreal Expos after a seven-year absence when he agreed Thursday to terms of a one-year contract.Carter, 37, had been negotiating with the Expos since the National League club claimed him on waivers from the Los Angeles Dodgers last Nov.15.Financial terms of the agreement were not released.\u201cHe brings some savvy we haven't had behind the plate for a long time,\u201d said Expos vice- president Bill Stoneman.\u201cWe have a young pitching staff and certainly our young starters like Chris Nabholz, Brian Barnes and Chris Haney will benefit from having a real veteran behind the plate.\u201d The Expos drafted Carter in June 1972.He went on to be named Montreal\u2019s player of the year four times and was one of the most popular players in the team\u2019s 22-year history.He won three gold gloves and played in seven all-star games while with the Expos, winning the all-star game most valuable player award in 1981 and 1984.The Californian played 10 seasons in Montreal before he was traded on Dec.10, 1984, to the New York Mets for Hubie Brooks, Mike Fitzgerald, Herm Winningham and Floyd You- mans.After five seasons with the Mets, he played one year each for the San Francisco Giants and the Dodgers.UNDER PRESSURE Stoneman said the Expos were under pressure to sign a catcher, with training camp opening later this month.He said the pressure did not come from the possibility of losing catcher Gilberto Reyes.Reports this week said Reyes had failed a drug test and violated conditions of an after-care program administered by the commissioner's office.Reyes had spent a month in a rehabilitation facility for alcoholism in 1990 and was subject to random urine tests.\u201cThat had no effect at all because we had other alternatives,\u201d said Stoneman, who reportedly had also been interested in veteran catcher Lance Parrish.\u201cWe even had alternatives to Gary Carter, although he was our first choice.\u201d The Expos had acquired Darrin Fletcher, a lefthanded- hitting catcher, from Philadelphia in a trade for reliever Barry Jones on Dec.9 and were seeking a righthanded batter with some power.Fur sales Great outdoors By REAL HEBERT The Ministry of recreation, fish and game (MLCP) recently released results of sales of fur- bearing animals captured in Quebec between Sept.1, 1990, and Aug.31, 1991.The number of furs sold by trappers in Quebec declined compared to 1989-90, going from 208,079 to 159,775, a drop of 23 per cent.An analysis of the numbers shows a general drop in sales for the majority of species.With few exceptions, the numbers of most types of fur sold at auction may have went down by 68 per cent.In absolute numbers, muskrat and beaver sales d-opped the most, by 23,6562 and 10,563 respectively.By percentage, compared to last year, skunk, polar bear and raccoon dropped the farthest, by 68, 53 and 43 per cent respectively.The drop in fur sales for 1990-91 is $1 million, or 26 per cent, compared to the year before.Total value of beaver furs dropped 44 per cent, while muskrat went down 32 per cent.in Quebec see steady decline The number of trapping permits sold in 1990-91 went up to 3743 for exclusive trapping territories, and 7418 for open territory, for a total of 11,161.That's a drop in trappers of 19 per cent from the year before, and of 35 per cent in two years.Even though fur sales were down over the past few years, the Canadian Fur Council, which represents trappers, manufacturers and retailers, says the market is up at the present time.They say the Hudson Bay Co.fur auction in December saw sales of raccoon skins go up by 40 per cent, and of beaver by 80 per cent.The reason for this rise is due to the international market, which is showing a significant interest in buying furs.This is news that is bound to please trappers, whose saies are lethargic.They won't be sad to leave such slow times behind and see the industry get gack on course.We must remember that the fur business was the top industry at the beginning of colonization and played an important role in developping the country.Also, the raison d'etre of the Hudson Bay Co., founded in 1670, was to do business with furs, and it always has been.It\u2019s the main outlet for trappers to sell their furs, and whether we agree or not, this is an activity that will always be part of our tradition.Even though it is mid-winter and lakes are covered with inches of ice, we remind boat lovers that the International Pleasure Boat Show is on at the Olympic Stadium in Montreal until Feb.9.You may want to take advantage of the weekend to catch the show.Organizers are expecting 75,000 fans to come and admire the new boat models of all shapes and sizes, as well as various types of accessories that will be shown by 175 different companies.The exhibition is open Saturday from 10 to 10 and Sunday from 10 to 7.RIECORDREAL HEBERT Fur sales have seen a steady decline over the past two years.2 8 12 15 39 49 __48 Bonus number: ESULTS =.loto-québec loto-québec Draw Wednesday, February 5, 1992 WINNERS PRIZES fo io 6/6 3 winners 167,971.50 dom 5/6+ 4 winners 172,793.60 on Wednesday
