TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Ottawa and the provinces will try to boost highway construction, reform health care and welfare and eliminate bidding wars between the regions for new investment, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Wednesday.But there won\u2019t be a sudden infusion of money into capital works programs to try and kickstart Canada\u2019s sluggish economy, Mulroney said at the close of a 14-day meeting he held with the premiers on the economy.\u201cWe have identified opportunities where governments can take joint action, not by spending more but by spending smarter and by adopting a co- .ordinated approach to our policies,\u201d the prime minister told a news conference at a lakefront Toronto hotel.There will also be meetings among some provincial and federal transportation ministers to decide whether money should be spent repaving national highways \u2018\u2018consistent with our need to be fiscally responsible,\u201d Mulroney said.In addition, he said, health and finance ministers will meet within two months to try TORONTO (CP) \u2014 It was the equivalent of a knifefight.Vicious.\u2018And in the end, it left both sides scarred.It was Prime Minister Brian Mulroney who demonstrated the fine art of political street fighting at a first ministers meeting on the economy Tuesday and Wednesday.And it was Ontario Premier Bob Rae who came out the worst.\u201cYou get beaten up in this business, that\u2019s just the way it is,\u201d a slightly shell-shocked premier said Wednesday.He clearly didn\u2019t know what had hit him.\u201cI can\u2019t quite figure out where all this kind of personal animosity comes from.\u201d Mulroney, at 12 per cent Rookie premier learns hardball the hard way CP News Analysis By Clyde Graham support in the polls and not in a charitable

good part of the meeting was marred by a running battle among Ontario, Saskatchewan and Ottawa over transfer payments and the proposed North American free trade deal, but B.C.Premier Mike Harcourt said the private meetings were more civil.WANTS DEAL Mulroney didn\u2019t provide details of a national highway construction program, which some provinces- had proposed to create jobs and improve traffic safety.But the prime minister said he would like to reach deals with various provinces \u2018\u2018to provide for better and safer roads on the one hand and to provide job-creating instruments in a quick time frame.\u201d Mulroney said the federal government needs to ensure it can get its own budget deficit under control as he skirted questions on whether any new money would be spent to create jobs and get the recession- ravaged economy growing again.Manitoba Premier Gary Fil- mon said the provinces rejected a federal condition that they harmonize their provincial sales taxes with the GST \u2014 extend the provincial levies to all goods covered by the federal tax \u2014 before customs agents would agree to collect provincial taxes to curb cross- border shoppping.Filmon said the provinces countered by urging Ottawa to collect provincial sales taxes at the border on goods that are universally taxed by the pro- vinees, except Alberta.See ECONOMY:, Page 2.bruary that the government later called in the Israeli chargé d\u2019affaires in Ottawa and a top- ranking Mossad official from Tel Aviv to protest.Lewis, under questioning by the Commons subcommittee on national

PSN i RECORD/GRANT SIMEON Hoopla: Who'll make the big splash this year?By Dianne Rinehart The Canadian Press The guest list for Sunday\u2019s garden party at the residence of Canada\u2019s consul general in Los Angeles reads like a who's who of Canadian entertainment.John Candy is expected to be there.So are Donald Sutherland, William Shatner, Leslie Nielsen, Dan Aykroyd.Martin Short, Howie Mandel, Rick Moranis, Al Waxman, Lloyd Bochner and director Norman Jewison.In all, 500 people have been invited to the poolside bash honoring Canadians nominated for Academy Awards.Vancouver rocker Bryan Adams, up for the Oscar for best song, can\u2019t make it because he\u2019ll be attending the Juno Awards in Toronto.But actress Kate Nelligan, nominated for best supporting actress for her work in The Prince of Tides, and animators Christopher Hinton and Wendy Tilby, both nominated for best animated short films, will be Kate Nelligan.Best supporting actress a Canadian?there.\u201cIt\u2019s the premiere social event of the year for members in the industry who are Canadian and for the people doing business with the Canadians,\u201d says Sam Wendel, director of Telefilm\u2019s Los Angeles office.But it\u2019s more than a chance to snack on cajun fried turkey and spinach pom-poms with mustard sauce, washed down with beverages donated by Canadian breweries and wineries.\u2018\u201c\u201c(It\u2019s) an opportunity to help people network,\u201d says Roz Wolfe, head of the consulate\u2019s political, economic and public affairs section.BIG MONEY And the stakes are enormous: e U.S.productions filmed in Canada brought in $757 million from 1985 to 1988, according to the Ontario Film Development Corp.NA e One American film with a budget of $14 million to $20 million can translate into almost $7 million for the city it\u2019s shot in, says the Toronto Film Liaison office.e American productions spent $56 million in Toronto alone in 1991.This year\u2019s party is being cosponsored by the consulate, the National Film Board \u2014 which has two animated films up for Oscars \u2014 Telefilm Canada, which supports Canadian TV and film productions, and the Academy of Canadian Cinema and Television.For the National Film Board, the party offers a unique \u2014 and cheap \u2014 opportunity to promote its projects to the U.S.media, says spokesman Gerry Flahive.The guest list is so star- studded some papers send several reporters to represcu.their entertainment, business, and society page sections, says Wolfe.The timing, one day before the actual award ceremonies, doesn\u2019t hurt either.NFB SCORES HITS This year, the NFB will promote two animation films currently being screened in the United States in the NFB\u2019s Animation Festival and the critically acclaimed movie The Company of Strangers, which hit the $1-million mark at U.S.box offices recently.That may not be big bucks for an American.studio, but it\u2019s huge for the NFB, says Fla- hive.The NFB, nominated for 57 Academy Awards over the years, has nine Oscars to its credit, including an honorary award on its 50th anniversary in 1989.It took two of the three nominations for best animated short this year.No one knows exactly how many Canadians involved in film and TV productions live in Los Angeles, but with Telefilm listing more than .900 in its guide to Canadian talent in the U.S., tickets to Sunday\u2019s affair are scarce.Still, the party isn\u2019t exactly the wild Hollywood affair that movies depict.\u2018\u2019There\u2019s a lot of American studio executives there, so people are pretty much on their best behavior,\u201d says Vivienne Leebosh, a producer and co- chairman of the Canadian academy in Los Angeles.But accidents do happen.A Canadian writer tumbled backwards into the pool last year, impressing other guests with his ability to hang on to his drink without spilling it.The consulate is taking no chances this year.Itinstalled a lip on the pool, to make sure no one drowns. 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Thursday, March 26, 1992 Ottawa to regulate sun-protection products By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The government will regulate sun- protection products like sunscreen and sunglasses to make sure people know what they're getting, Health Minister Benoit Bouchard said Wednesday.\u2018This is a domain which is evolving,\u2019 said

economy moving.The rumble began on Tuesday.Rae started the name- calling, labelling the federal Tory government an \u2018\u2018absconding debtor\u2019 for running away from its duties to pay a greater share of the cost of fe- deral-provincial social programs.Mulroney, who wasn\u2019t keen on calling the meeting in the first place, called on Finance Minister Don Mazankowski to hit back.Mazankowski called Rae \u2018\u201cjuvenile\u2019\u2019 and \u2018\u2018irresponsible\u2019\u2019 for releasing a paper to reporters attacking Ottawa\u2019s tight-fisted policies on social spending.That sparked a paper war between Ontario and Ottawa nada are almost useless and some may even do more harm than good because they offer a false sense of security.Sunscreens with a so-called solar protection factor under 10 should not be on the market because they provide little protection, said David MacLean, a University of British Columbia drmatologist.The SPF numbers, assigned according to federal standards, indicate how effectively the product prevents sunburn.Most sunscreens have SPF numbers under 10.Such low-numbered sunscreens block ultraviolet-B radiation which causes rapid sunburn, but offer no protection against ultraviolet-A radiation which causes wrinkling of the skin and also promotes cancer, said MacLean.Using such products \u2018\u2018is a fast way to become a California raisin,\u201d he said.NOT GOOD ENOUGH Jason Rivers of the Canadian Dermatology Association agreed that low-numbered sunscreens should not be on the market.MacLean said he knows of only two sunscreens with an SPF of 15 that provide effective ultraviolet-A blocking.All sunscreens with an SPF rating of 30 provide ultraviolet- A blocking but there\u2019s no point in going to higher numbers because the advantage is insignificant, he said.The conference was told that some sunglasses may do more harm than good because thev allow the eye to dilate in sunlight, but don\u2019t block ultraviolet radiation.There\u2019s no government rating system for sunglasses.Concern about ultraviolet radiation is rising due to the thinning of the ozone layer, which allows higher levels of such radiation to reach earth.The ra- ulation Can cause skin cancer and eye cataracts and damage the immune system.There will be 50,000 new cases of skin cancer in Canada this year, 3,200 cases of mela- \u2026.noma, the most serious skin

Dermatology Association offers the following advice to help protect your children from the sun\u2019s harmful rays: about the federal contribution to welfare, health and education, with each side disputing the others\u2019 figures.On Wednesday morning, Rae appeared to have shrugged off Mazankowski\u2019s \u2018\u2018juvenile\u201d\u2019 remark and even joked that he had had his Pablum for breakfast.The meeting appeared headed back to work.But Mulroney, who has been at odds with Rae for the NDP government\u2019s record budget deficits, hadn\u2019t finished.Mulroney opened a second front against Rae in Ottawa \u2014 this time on trade.On the day the meeting opened, Rae had joined Saskatchewan\u2019s Roy Romanow in complaining bitterly that they had been shut out of the talks on the North American free-trade agreement.ANGERED BY LEAK They were angered by the leak of a preliminary draft text of the free-trade agreement with the United States and Mexico.\u2018\u2018Obviously they have kept it entirely to themselves,\u2019\u2019 said Rae.\u201cI don\u2019t think that kind of secretive approach is going to work.\u201d But back in Ottawa on Wednesday, federal Trade Minister Michael Wilson stuck it to Bob Rae\u2019s claim that Ontario had been left in the dark.Wilson breached protocol to release a confidential letter, dated Monday, from Rae.The letter thanked Mulroney for keeping his government updated about the trade talks.\u2018\u201c\u2018We have appreciated the care with which we have been kept informed of the progress of negotiations and the opportunities to offer suggestions about the development of Canadian positions on the range of issues involved,\u201d wrote Rae.But Wilson went further and held a news conference to point out that Rae appeared to be taking one line in private Canadian Communists get look OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Canadian police and spy-catchers have been ordered to examine new claims that the former Soviet government secretly funded the Canadian Communist Party, Solicitor General Doug Lewis said Wednesday.\u201cI've asked CSIS (the Canadian Security Intelligence Service) and the RCMP to look into the matter and advise me if there has been any illegality,\u201d Lewis told the Commons subcommittee on national security.\u201cThere is provision in Canada for lawful protest, dissent and advocacy.If it goes beyond that, we get

know whether it was against Canadian law.It was certainly improper.\u201d New Democrat Derek Blackburn went further, saying the comments by Lewis and Protti, though carefully worded, clearly indicate the Israelis acted illegally.\u201cIt was very difficult for our witnesses to come right out and say it,\u201d said Blackburn.\u2018\u2018That was certainly the conclusion I came to.\u201d Ostrovsky

speaking on condition of anonymity after Spector\u2019s disclosure in February, said CSIS eventually confirmed the Israelis had appealed to Ostrovsky\u2019s patriotism and also offered him money if he agreed not to publish.CSIS found no evidence that Ostrovsky had been physically threatened, but senior officials at the spy agency were nevertheless outraged the Israelis had infringed on Canadian turf.The Israelis have consisten- the CIRCULATION DEPT.819-569-9528 FAX: (819) 569-3945 KNOWLTON OFF.: 514-243-0088 Randy Kinnear, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Lloyd G.Scheib, Advertising Manager

new twist two weeks ago, when the Toronto Star, in a story based on Russian government documents, reported the Canadian Communists received at least $1.9 million from Moscow between 1978 and 1989.Russian authorities have recently released information about former Soviet activities in several western countries.The documents are now evidence in Russian criminal investigations into the excesses of the former Soviet regime.another in public.\u201cTo suggest that there has not been full consultations is simply misleading Canadians, presumably to gain some political advantage,\u201d the trade minister said.A senior federal official said the government had no choice but to release the letter and set the record straight \u2014 to counter claims by the premiers that the provinces have been kept out of the free trade discussions.\u201cThis kind of thing simply can\u2019t be allowed to stand,\u2019 he said.At the final news conference, Mulroney said everything went fine at the meeting for him.\u201cThere were differences of opinion outside, but what else is new,\u201d said the prime minister.Mulroney ended up looking more like a streetfighter than a statesman in order to win a political fight.He hurt Rae.But he had to tarnish his own political image to do so.\u2014Keep babies under 12 months out of direct sunlight.\u2014Newborns should be protected in a covered

said the federal and provincial governments will also review whether income support programs need to be revamped to ensure they don\u2019t discourage the unemployed from finding work or signing up for training programs.MODEST PROGRESS Ontario Premier Bob Rae said the conference made modest progress in some areas, but not enough to ease the crushing economic problems facing the country, especially reces- sion-ravaged Ontario.\u201c\u201cThere still isn\u2019t enough concrete or asphalt to get jobs going,\u201d he said.The meeting got off to a rocky start Tuesday as Rae and Roy Romanow of

about the trade talks.\u201cWe have appreciated the care with which we have been kept informed of the progress of negotiations and the opportunities to offer suggestions about the development of Canadian positions on the range of issues involved,\u201d wrote Rae.Romanow continued to hammer Ottawa as the conference closed, calling on Mulroney to delay the trade negotiations and deal with the provinces\u2019 complaints about caps on transfer payments to education, welfare and health-care programs.Mossad behind expulsion?OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A Palestinian refugee claimant may have been thrown out of Canada on the basis of intelligence provided by the Israeli secret service, \u2018opposition MPs suggested Wednesday.But Raymond Protti, head of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, defended his agency\u2019s actions in the case of Mahmout Abo Shandi, a former colonel in the Palestine Liberation Organization.Shandi was deported from Montreal last month, after a Federal Court judge agreed with the government that he represented a security risk.The key evidence in the case was supplied by CSIS and heard behind closed doors, a legal procedure permitted in exceptional cases.The secret information must have been given to CSIS by the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, NDP MP Derek Blackburn said Wednesday during a meeting of the Commons subcommittee on national security.POINTED TO ISRAELIS He was backed up by Liberal Derek Lee, who noted in an interview later: \u201cIt is common knowledge on the street that the experts in intelligence on Palestinian matters are the Israelis.\u201d But neither Protti nor his political master, Solicitor General Doug Lewis, would say where CSIS got its incriminating information against Shandi.\u201c\u201cWe get our information from a wide variety of sources,\u201d said Protti.\u201c\u201cWe go to quite extraordinary lengths to establish the veracity of any information we have.We double- and triple- check.\u201d He did not elabortate, but it is widely known that U.S.and British sources are often consulted on Middle East intelligence.Shandi, described in the court decision as a onetime bo- - dyguard to PLO chairman Ya- ser Arafat and a man with intelligence experience, broke with Arafat last year over the chairman\u2019s support for Iraq in the Gulf War.He fled to Norway, but left that country after it ws revealed that Norwegian security officials collaborated with the Israelis in vetting refugee claimants.The resulting furore cost the Norwegian intelligence chief his job.MUC Kops build Keystone image MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Three hours after his son was born, Jason Vengroff thought he was going to die.On his way home from the hospital Tuesday night in his 1992 Honda Acura, he was hedged in between other vehicles when three men waving guns came up to him.\u201cThose guns were pointed at me,\u201d\u2019 Vengroff, a 26-year-old telephone marketing sales- .man, said Wednesday.\u201cMy son\u2019s birth was supposed to be a joyous occasion, and here I was thinking I was about to die.\u201d Then one of the armed men finally flashed a badge.The men were plainclothes Montreal police officers pointing their weapons at Vengroff because they thought he was driving a stolen car.But Vengroff didn\u2019t know that he had driven into a police stakeout geared to nab car thieves.It began when he beeped his horn at a woman driver dawdling at a stop sign.\u201cI had no idea the motorist in front of me was a cop,\u201d he said.The woman, accompanied by a second female officer, pulled her vehicle over to let Vengroff pass \u2014 then began tailing him.Soon he was blocked by what appeared to be a stalled vehicle.Another car pulled up on his right.\u2018\u2018People are crazy these days, so I pulled ahead a few feet, figuring the guy was peeved because I had cut him off or something,\u201d Vengroff said.WEATHER Doonesbury When he took another look, the other driver was waving a revolver.\u201cI put my car in reverse to get away and slammed into a car that was so close to my bumper I couldn\u2019t see its headlights,\u201d\u2019 Vengroff said.When he looked forward, three armed men were heading his way.Vengroff was taken to a police station to fill out an acei- dent report.He was allowed to go home aîter midnight with a $205 ticket for failing to change the address on his driver\u2019s permit and a $105 ticket for running a red light.It is the second time this month in which private citizens say Montreal police pulled out Today there\u2019s HEY, MEN!

HELL I dersusT WEAL MONDER GO TOURK IF WE The Townships The RECORD\u2014Thursday, March 26, 1992\u20143 Record School boards want help for poor kids By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 If the government starts handing out money to help poor kids, Sherbrooke area school boards say they want their share.\u201cThe situtation isn\u2019t any better here than in Quebec or Montreal,\u201d said Marcel Lamou- reux, president of the association of school board managers in the Estrie administrative region.Education Minister Michel Pagé last year gave school boards in Montreal and Quebec City one-time grants totalling $100,000 to help provide hot lunches and breakfasts to underprivileged schoolchildren.An ad-hoc committee of local school boards has completed a study which shows that poor and hungry schoolchildren are not exclusive to urban areas.It shows the incidence rate of poor children in Estrie region schools is 35.24 compared to the provincial average of 31.32.The rate was determined by a calculation which measures factors such as family income, welfare and unemployment rates and compares them to the poverty line for urban and rural areas.REGION POORER The study shows that the Sherbrooke area is even more economically deprived than Quebec City and Montreal.For example, the unemployment rate in Sherbrooke in December was 13.8 per cent compared to 12.4in Montreal and only 10.1 in Quebec City.The study, which was released Wednesday, also shows which boards and which schools have the greatest percentage of underprivileged children.The Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB), the only English board in Estrie, had the third highest rate of poor students among the eight local boards.The schools with the most poor children are in rural areas.In the ETSB, for example, Pope Memorial in Bury and Sawyerville Elementary School had the greatest proportion of poor kids.The study shows more than 12,000 pupils, about 28 per cent of the student body in 63 primary and secondary schools, suffer from some level of economic or cultural deprivation.ROBBING EDUCATION Lamoureux, president of the Table des p.d.g.des commission scolaires de Sherbrooke, said that while schools are doing their best to help these kids, the money is being taken away from education funds.\u201cSome actions have been undertaken to counter the effects of poverty, but it comes from money that should be used to educate our youth,\u201d he told reporters at a news conference.Lamoureux said the region is asking for a grant of $600,000 to support efforts already undertaken by local school boards.He said the money would be used for four types of programs: stimulation programs for pre-schoolers from under- priviledged families; breakfast and lunch programs to feed needy children; programs to help culturally- deprived students study with their parents or with tutors; and counselling for dropouts, a large number of whom come from poor families.\u201cWe are ready to put the money where it\u2019s needed,\u201d he said, adding that other programs can be adpated if other needs are demonstrated.Josée Rourke, who sat on the ad-hoc committee for the ETSB, said the money would be

skills to underprivileged parents so children get the best possible start.The school and the CLSC identify families who may need the service.Rourke said hunger is not a big problem.She said some children are provided with hot lunches thanks to community groups and service organizations.\u201cWhere we find poverty is more in terms of isolation and lack of stimulation,\u201d she said, adding that families on welfare and unemployment insurance and single parent families don\u2019t always have the financial or other means to help their children.She said that in rural English schools there has always been a high incidence of students in need.But she said more schoolchildren are suffering during the current hard times.\u201cI feel there are more children in crisis in our schools due to

of Bedford School Board voted Tuesday night to uphold the suspensions of eight Massey Vanier High School students following a police investigation into the sale and trafficking of drugs at the high school.Joshua Kidd, George Xenos, and Allan Harrison, all 18, have been charged with trafficking in drugs.They were suspended from classes for the balance of the year.Disciplinary action was also taken against five other students referred to youth protection officials following a Bishop\u2019 By Dan Hawaleshka LENNOXVILLE \u2014 Established at Bishop\u2019s University in 1893, The Mitre has been described as Canada\u2019s \u201coldest university literary publication\u201d.But while it once enjoyed much student attention as a monthly showcase for \u201cliterature, university thought and events\u201d, it has since withered, becoming an annual publication virtually ignored by the students it once served.In recent years student interest in the Mitre has fallen so drastically that it now lies in near tatters: the 1991 edition is a year late and has yet to be published; the 1992 edition won\u2019t appear for at least Peter M ps | hands.\u2019 _ old d publication, ,a budget which

year, but will be permitted to write their final exams in June.SAD DAY Bedford Board chairman Peter Quilliams called it a very sad day, adding he hopes the school will be better for it.Massey Vanier high school principal Ainsley Rose said the school\u2019s goal continues to be a drug-free school.He said stu- another six months; and with the school year drawing to a close, no editor has been chosen for 1993, the year in which the Mitre is supposed to mark its centennial.BAD TIMING As fate would have it, the timing for the Mitre\u2019s near demise could not be worse.Should it fail to publish in 1993, it would coincide with the 150th anniversary of the university\u2019s founding.Last-minute efforts are now being made by the university\u2019s student government to ensure the Mitre\u2019s survival, but the Students\u2019 Representative Council (SRC) has yet to approve a budget for the 99-year- CESSE res REA 78 S $ \u201cI don\u2019t think they realize what they have on their dents will have to recognize the consequences of choices they make.Before going to the board, the recommendation for suspensions was reviewed by an independent appeal tribunal chaired by Reverend Dennis Dwyer.At Monday\u2019s meeting, Rev.Dwyer reported that after interviewing a counsellor, administrators, students and parents, he was impressed by the \u201cexhaustive, continuous and compassionate attempts\u201d by the school to balance the needs of the individual with the needs of the school community.in 1991 amounted to a token $100 for administration.Had it not been for a $1500 contribution this year from the Campus, the students\u2019 independently- funded newspaper, it seems unlikely that the 1991 Mitre would ever have gotten as close as itis to being published.\u201cLast year\u2019s SRC didn\u2019t see it fit to keep it going,\u201d is how SRC vice-president John Gardner describes the Mitre\u2019s $100 budget last year.\u201cWe were left holding the bag,\u201d said Gardner, under whose jurisdiction the Mitre falls.\u201cWe're picking up the pieces.\u201d In an interview on campus Wednesday, Gardner conceded that nothing has been done to ensure the Mitre\u2019s centennial is marked next year.\u201cWe haven\u2019t got anything down concrete yet,\u201d he said.\u2018SOME WAY SOME HOW\u2019 Gardner tries to be reassuring, stressing the money for a 1993 Mitre will be found, \u201csome way, some how.\u201d Next Wednesday the student council will vote on a budget for the Mitre.A preliminary draft has the Mitre pencilled in for $1900, though this figure is sub- Ject to approval by the SRC.Gerry Morris, SRC finance director, said there are no me- He called the incident \u201ca tragedy\u201d and another example of the untold harm caused by illicit drugs.REVIEW POLICY Dwyer confirmed the decision of school administrators to suspend the eight teenagers and recommended the board review its policy on illicit drugs outlining offenses more clearly.He also suggested that the complete policy be published, distributed and posted for students to see and that a mediation process and punishment be integrated for first offenses.The sombre crowd, which

Wednesday afternoon to discuss joint funding of the Mitre.© \u201cWe spoke about it and we haven\u2019t really come to an answer at this time,\u201d Ridout said afterward.Ridout ruled out long-term funding.\u201cAll we're doing is looking at numbers for next year,\u201d he said.WORTH SAVING?But while interest in the Mitre among most students has faded, a few like Peter McLaughlin consider it worth saving.McLaughlin is one of three editors of The Cassock, aninde- pendently funded arts-and- literaure booklet published monthly.\u201cWe decided the Mitre was in trouble and something needed to be done,\u201d McLaughlin said.\u201cWe got tired of the Mitre going \u2018phttt\u2019,\u201d he said.McLaughlin and his fellow editors created the Cassock to take up the slack and hopefully create interest in the Mitre, he gathered in the board room, listened quietly as the board voted unanimously on the suspensions.The father of one of the students urged board members to be sure they acted within their rights, likening the process to a kangaroo court.The students and their parents may now appeal the board\u2019s decision.Rock Forest town hall closed SHERBROOKE \u2014 The Rock Forest town hall will be closed today while employees move into their new offices.The town hall, municipal garage and police headquarters will, be relocated to 1000 Haut-Bois Street.As a result the town hall

McLaughlin said.\u201cI don\u2019t think they realize what they have on their hands,\u201d he said.\u201cTo let it die is a real shame.\u201d Anna Grant, the university\u2019s archivist, says losing the Mitre would be a terrible shame.NOT JUST FOOTBALL \u201cThe Mitre shows that Bishop\u2019s isn\u2019t just football and business,\u201d said Grant, who stressed the importance of students\u2019 having an outlet to express \u201ccreative thought\u201d.\u201cIthinkit\u2019s important for students to have something to contribute to in which their names will live on,\u201d she said.Rhodes scholar Peter Blai- kie, poets Ralph Gustafson and Michael Ondaatje and Alliance Quebec chairman Reed Sco- wen have all been published in the Mitre.Grant, whose work has also appeared in the Mitre and Cassock, said the Mitre helps unify students, alumni and community members by accepting works of poetry, prose, art work or photography from all three.\u2019 \u201cIt\u2019s one example of how eves literary journal may not see centennial ryone can be in on something together.\u201d A former Mitre editor, Peter Crowe, lamented the Mitre\u2019s recent neglect in the preface to the 1990 edition.\u201cOne day,\u201d Crowe wrote at the time, \u201cthe Mitre will, or better yet, must experience a re- \u2019 surgence in popularity.\u201d \u201cCanada\u2019s oldest university literary

Mitre editor laments \u2018miserly shortsightedness\u2019 The following is the preface to the 1990 edition of the Mitre, which has been described as Canada\u2019s \u201coldest university literary publication.\u201d In the preface, editor Peter Crowe accuses the 1989 Students\u2019 Representative Council (SRC) of \u201cmiserly shortsightedness\u201d for failing to adequately fund the Mitre.Crowe says the Mitre \u201cdeserves better than to simply be discarded as a financial investment gone bad.\u201d \u201cIn 1893, B.Watson, the first editor-in-chief of The Mitre, described the publication as being \u2018a monthly magazine published by the students of Bishop\u2019s College and the boys of Bishop\u2019s College school.\u2019 Many things have changed since those days when the Mitre was merely a fledgling literary publication.It is now released only on a yearly basis and up until the mid part of the 20th century was put together by a large staff of distinguished students and professors.\u201cThis year\u2019s edition was put together and typeset by one person entirely on computer, yet its original purpose of providing a forum for the creative efforts of artists remains unchanged.Tradition meets modernity.The blending of these two forces usually results in the defeat of custom by the more efficient, and ruthless progress of technology.\u201cUnfortunately, the preceding maxim also applies to the Mitre.The 1989 SRC, publisher of the Mitre, has exhibited a miserly shortsightedness in deciding that financial figures carry more weight than tradition.\u201cSubsequently, funds are to be curtailed while expectations for a best selling edition flourish.We have even been referred to as a \u2018white elephant\u2019 by - one critical member of the council (perhaps \u2018red herring\u2019 or \u2018albatross\u2019 would have trickled next from his fluent tongue).\u201cIf I must keep to bestial epithets, I would prefer to describe the Mitre in terms of the mythological phoenix.One day the Mitre will, or better yet, must experience a resurgence in popularity.Canada\u2019s oldest university literary publication deserves better than to simply be discarded as a financial investment gone bad or ignored as this year\u2019s publisher has done (I have received more cooperation from the Business and Chemistry departments than I have from the SRC

fought Goliath and lost I knew it was too good to last.After Lady Di let me down with her conformity, someone special finally breathed new life into the British monarchy.It came in the form of a boisterous, bouncy, beautiful redhead.When Sarah Ferguson, the voluptuous and vivacious daughter of a polo manager, was introduced as an in-law prospect to the Royal Family back in the spring of 1986, .my first impression was: All right man, cool! As an afterthought, I realized the soon to be Duchess of York would have a .bumpy road ahead of her.Her mere physi- \" cal appearance was a bit too different for the Royals to handle.\"Then there were the candid camera shots of Fergie and Prince Andrew slap- | ping each others\u2019 behinds and kissing passionately in public during their engage- .ment.Oops, I thought, I don\u2019t think you\u2019re | going to gain points with the Queen.My suspicions were correct.Since their marriage in July 1986, the British press speculated that not all was well with Fergie and the Royal Queendom.She wasn\u2019t ladylike (translation: she was too plump and gaudy), had too many ex-boyfriends, didn\u2019t make enough Royal appearances and was getting too close to that Texas oilman friend of hers, said some of the usual Fergie-bashers.During this time there was hardly, if any, mention of Prince Andrew\u2019s former sexcapades with model citizens such as soft-porn queen Koo Stark.So Fergie lost the weight, wore tailored suits, made more appearances and posed for cutesy pictures with her two daughters \u2014 but that didn\u2019t help.The problem was that Fergie represented change with her independence and out- spokeness.However, changing the image of a duchess wasn\u2019t easy \u2014 especially when you're David fighting Goliath.Fergie, whose separation from Prince Andrew was made public two weeks ago, surely realizes this now.Her name is being trampled on like a doormat by the tabloids while her uppity in-laws point the long, Royal finger of shame.I am sure Fergie regrets the day she kissed the frog that turned into a Prince.ANGELA CHRISTOPHER Letters _ Happiest moment of my life Wednesday night, March 18, coming back from my figure skating at Bishop\u2019s, I passed by

identified only as Cherie, writing in the stay-in-school newsletter Looking In Looking Out, distributed in British Columbia and the Yukon: I dropped out of school in my second month of Grade 10, then I was told to move out.I ended up with nowhere to live.I had no money so the next step was to get a job but you can\u2019t get a job without an address and you can\u2019t get an address without a job.So I turned to the government and found that I was too old for a foster home and I wasn\u2019t eligible for a group home.I found out that the Ministry of Social Services and Housing couldn\u2019t even help until I turned 17.I ended up having to deal (drugs) so that I could eat and have a roof over my head.Those of you out there who are thinking of dropping out, I advise you to think of how you will support yourself.That means bills, rent, food, clothes, Christmas gifts, birthday presents and all the other stuff that you wouldn\u2019t normally think of; and then there\u2019s the cost of partying and having fun on the weekend.Stay in school, get your Grade 12 \u2014 that\u2019s a lot more fun.Sure, you don\u2019t like the rules and you can\u2019t stay out late at night but it\u2019s

Tellier, president of Sibeca, which appeared in the March 12 issue of the Record.Mr.Tellier\u2019s main contention seems to be that the opposition to his proposed development of Mount Pinnacle is a personal vendetta on the part of Mr.Guy Côté.That is not the case when the facts of the situation are examined.There are approximately 700 members of the Association for the Conservation of Pinnacle Mountain.This proves that what happens to the last undeveloped major mountain in the area is of great interest not only to the people of Frelighsburg, but also to thoses who live within the larger surrounding area.It should also be mentioned that surveys and municipal voting results show that a large number of residents of Frelighsburg are also opposed to the type of development proposed by Sibeca.LORI McCURDY Sutton Did you know.TAKAKKAW FALLS Takakkaw Falls, in British Columbia\u2019s Yoho National Park, is the highest waterfallin Canada, with a vertical drop of 503 metres, about 10

in a row QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Veteran journalist Pierre O\u2019Neill probably should have known he was giving Premier Robert Bourassa an irresistible set-up line.O\u2019Neill, of Montreal\u2019s Le Devoir, snapped during a news conference that Bourassa was \u2018not being clear.\u2019 The premier paused for a moment, then with his usual straight face, shot back: \u2018Mr.O'Neill, you have been covering my speeches and statements for 25 years, I can\u2019t understand your surprise.\u2019 In fact, Bourassa, who has a well-earned reputation as a master of obfuscation, has been remarkably clear and consistent of late.He made strong professions of faith in federalism to open a new legislature session and at a meeting of Quebec Liberals in Montreal last weekend.Those statements, accompanied by attacks on sovereignty, prompted newspaper columnists to acknowledge that something is up.\u2018An event happened at the (Liberal) general council on Sunday \u2014it was the third day in a row that Mr.Bourassa has maintained the same position,\u2019 wrote Michel David of Quebec City\u2019s Le Soleil.\u2018He now is giving the impression of being determined to accept the federal offers whatever they may be.\u2019 CP News Analysis : By Don Macdonald Bourassa did express confidence that a unity deal is possible and suggested he is willing to go back to the negotiating table if he has \u2018a reasonable guarantee\u2019 that talks will be successful.But the premier still has a lot of hurdles before him if he has indeed decided to throw his lot in with the federal process that is supposed to produce final constitutional proposals by the end of May.Firstly, Bourassa will have to make sure that he has his party onside.The Liberal party will judge the acceptability of any \u2018final federal offer\u2019 at a historic special party convention this summer.The list of new powers Quebec will be offered is sure to fall far short of the 22 powers claimed in the Liberal party\u2019s hardline Al- laire report.The report is official party policy and the yardstick nationalists say will be used to judge the final offer.The report was adopted almost a year ago in an outpouring of nationalist anger over the death of the Meech Lake accord and Bourassa appealed in his speech on Sunday for compromise.\u2018The Liberal party is not a dogmatic party and that is its strength,\u2019 he said.But distinct federalist and nationalist factions were clearly evident at the weekend meeting.FACES LAW Another major difficulty Bourassa faces is Law 150, the provincial legislation that mandates a sovereignty referendum by Oct.26.The government must table a referendum question by Aug.4, which means the premier must act before that to amend the law if he wants to hold the referendum on a unity package or cancel it altogether.Observers such as David of Le Soleil are now predicting that the government will move in a special session in the dead of summer safely after the nationalist St- Jean-Baptiste holiday.All this assumes that the rest of the country can agree on a sweeping reform of the federation in the next nine weeks and that there is enough in the package for Bourassa to sell it to the electorate.And added to it all, according to Law 150, the package \u2018must be binding\u2019 on Parliament and the other nine provinces to avoid a re- peatof the Meech Lake saga when provinces refused to ratify what they had signed.Last weekend, Bourassa repeated in an attack on separatism that the disintegration of Canada \u2018will not be easy The same could be said of the alternative.

riding since 1978, is no stranger to controversy.He opposed the GST and was critical of the government's handling of the al-Mashat affair a year ago \u2014 the investigation of how a senior Iraqi diplomat got fast-track treatment as an immigrant to Canada.Liberals say his motivation is one of self-preservation: he is in trouble in his riding and bashes the government at every opportunity.On Wednesday, Scott became the focus of a Liberal attack on Trade Minister Michael Wilson in the Commons over a column he wrote for several community newspapers in his riding.\u201cSomething sneaky is

DE CONNAISSANCE Ottawa puts squeeze on transfer payments One of the federal government\u2019s biggest jobs is writing cheques to the provinces.And Ottawa is squeezing those payments to control its deficit, generating court battles, fears of declining service and hot rhetoric from some premiers.Federal transfer payments, $39 billion in cash and tax revenue, provide the backbone for some of Canada\u2019s most sacred social services \u2014 medicare, welfare and university and college educations.The Conservative government argues it can\u2019t ignore that big pot of money when Ottawa spends 30 cents of every dollar of revenue to pay interest on its debt.Fed up with high taxes, Canadians are probably also unwilling to swallow big tax increases so governments can write blank cheques for exploding health-care costs.So the federal government has made some tough choices.It restricted annual increases in the Canada Assistance Plan to five per cent for the three richest provinces, Ontario, British Columbia and Alberta.And it froze Established Program Financing \u2014 its largest single transfer program \u2014 at 1989-90 per capita levels.This funding will only increase as

an Ottawa church congregation read about the death of their 102- year-old friend, they were shocked to learn the woman\u2019s family wasn\u2019t planning a funeral.The family \u2018\u2018hadn\u2019t kept in touch with her much,\u201d says Julie Tubman, past-president of the Ontario Funeral Association and head of Tubman Funeral Home in Ottawa.\u201cThe family received letters from the woman\u2019s friends telling them how important she had been to them,\u201d Tubman recalls.\u2018\u2018She had been like a grandmother to their children.\u201d That\u2019s when family members called Tubman, saying they\u2019d made \u2018\u2018a terrible mistake\u2019 and wanted to hold a memorial service so bereaved friends could pay their respects.Distance and circumstances often separate young, busy families from their older members, and many don\u2019t keep up regular contact.This can be- come particularly apparent when an older family member dies, Tubman says.\u201cFor the family, knowing that the woman had spent her last years in such a fulfilled way was really rewarding.\u201d HARD TO DECIDE Tubman says that when a family member dies, survivors are usually so distressed it\u2019s difficult to make proper decisions.\u201cIt\u2019s often hard to know what the deceased would have wanted unless he or she made it plain while they were alive,\u201d adds Sheelah Brodie, executive director of the Toronto-based funeral association, which represents 389 funeral homes in Ontario.Funeral and other death preparation practices vary across the country because they come under provincial jurisdiction, Brodie adds.\u2018Even when a death is sudden, what occurs depends on which province you are in,\u201d Tubman says.WHAT TO DO If a person dies suddenly, the normal course of action in Ontario.for example.is to call no- lice.\u2018However, if the person has been under medical care for some time, it is not necessary to call the police, but the family physician.\u201cThey will come to the house and sign a medical certificate of death, and at that time the funeral director would be called,\u201d she says.In the case of \u2018suicide, homicide or an accident, the police have to be called, and in turn the coroner must come.\u201cThe coroner investigates the cause of death at the scene and at that time he or she decides whether an autopsy should be ordered,\u201d Tubman explains.When a person dies in an institution such as a nursing home or hospice, the coroner must be called, she says, although in virtually all cases the coroner will simply sign a death certificate.MAKING CHOICE Tubman says she has found that when bereaved families choose a funeral home they often base their decision on past experiences.\u2018If they don 1 nave a prior experience, they aren\u2019t alone.The kids come over, the neighbors drop in to give moral support and nine times out of 10 they\u2019ll use a funeral home that has been recommended by a close friend.\u201d The funeral director sits down with the family and helps them map out plans based on their wishes or those of the deceased.\u201cYou aren't just talking about a funeral, you are talking about the life of the person,\u201d Tubman says.\u2018You are talking about relationships, what is important to the family and from that kind of discussion you develop a service that is appropriate for them.\u201d Tubman says one of the myths about funerals is that everything has to be decided in one day.\u201cFamilies need to know they have time, they have choices and all kinds of options.\u201d Tubman stresses families should discuss their preferences openly.They also can contact the provincial funeral association in their region for more information.Sexism and ageism on the silver screen By Ceci Connolly BOSTON (AP)\u2014 In two of the season\u2019s Oscar-nominated roles, 72-year-old Jack Palance got to whoop it up as a cowboy in City Slickers, while 82-year- old Jessica Tandy was reduced to reminiscing from a nursing home in Fried Green Tomatoes.Two researchers point to the contrast in roles as proof of sexism and age bias in Hollywood.In a report titled Real vs.Reel World \u2014 Older Women and the Oscar, they conclude that elderly women have virtually disappeared from the silver screen.And when older women are cast, they are likely to get less flattering roles than those offered to men.\u201cThe elderly population is the most rapidly growing portion of the population today,\u201d said Elizabeth Markson of Boston University\u2019s Gerontology The word 1s out \u2014 broccoli 1s good for you By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press OK, like it or not, broccoli is IN.Or so say scientists at Washington\u2019s John Hopkins University.They claimed recently that the dark green veggie contains an important chemical that may protect against cancer.The chemical or enzyme \u2014 sulforaphane \u2014 is also found in cauliflower, mustards, cress, brussels sprouts and cabbage.The scientists say it increases the activities of enzymes that detoxify chemical carcinogens in mouse and human cells.But broccoli is also rich in potassium, a mineral that can lower high blood pressure and the incidence of strokes.And because of high fibre content, it can help lower cholesterol and decrease the risk of heart disease.Broccoli is also a good source of caleium, which can reduce chances of developing osteoporosis (loss of bone mass).But what if you're like U.S.President George Bush, who Centre.DESIGNING FILMS But \u201cHollywood is designing films for an essentially male audience between 15 and 23 years of age.\u201d Since the Academy Awards were first given in 1927, female nominees have been consistently younger than their male counterparts, said Markson and co-author Carol Taylor, a psychotherapist.Among their other findings: \u2014 The average age of women nominated for best actress and best supporting actress in the 1920s was 31; the average age for men was 41.The numbers have crept up for both genders, over the years.but female no- : minees remain younger.+ This year, the average age for best actor nominees was 49, while best actress was 36.The youngest man

basically incompetent woman where men are needed to run her life,\u201d\u201d Markson said.And in the 1990 film Mr.and Mrs.Bridge, Paul Newman plays an active lawyer with an eye for pretty young women, while his real-life wife, Joanne + Woodward, is the \u2018\u201cdumpy housewife,\u201d\u201d Markson said.Charles FitzSimons, executive director of the Producers Guild of America, agreed that

soups, stir-fries, frit- tatas (Italian omelets) and salads, she says.A trendy way: prepare Mexican quesadillas using broccoli and cheddar cheese, hot sauce, jalapeno peppers, part-skim mozzarella and salsa wrapped in warm tortillas.Herbs and spices that go well with broccoli: basil and mace.And for budget-conscious shoppers, fresh broccoli isn\u2019t too hard on the pocketbook.In fact, it rarely rises above $2 a bunch at its most expensive.In the April edition of Canadian Living, Baird and her staff have included a one-dish meal using broccoli and cauliflower.Cauliflower-Broccoli Medley 1
