Quebec 819-562-8062 Transfer payments ease budget pain By Daniel Sanget QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Increased federal transfer payments came to the rescue of Quebec Finance Minister Gérard D.Lévesque on Thursday as he tabled a relatively painless budget for consumers and businesses.The 1992-93 budget sees government spending top the $40- billion mark for the first time ever.But with an anticipated increase of 17 per cent in federal Search for last 10 miners called off By Chris Morris PLYMOUTH, N.S.(CP) \u2014 The miracle at Plymouth just wasn\u2019t to be.Hope of finding the last 10 missing miners alive in the ruins of the Westray mine was abandoned Thursday and the rescue effort called off.The bodies of 16 men have been found, but with time running out and with the danger for rescue crews mounting, all hope for the miners was declared lost and the search suspended.It was the news everyone in this northern Nova Scotian community had been dreading although from the start it seemed the most likely outcome.The situation was becoming increasingly intolerable for the rescue workers the farther they made their way into the two-kilometre-long mine.The shafts were shattered by the explosion.They are filled with debris \u2014 not only fallen ceilings and twisted metal, but also burning mounds of coal and pockets of poisonous gases.And the earth was shifting.movie\u2019 By Stephen Thorne NEW GLASGOW, N.S.(CP) \u2014 Exhausted draegermen cried Thursday as they told of shattered hopes and unimaginable horror deep inside a coal mine ravaged by disaster.\u2018It was like a horror movie,\u201d said one, his voice shaking.\u2018\u2018Worse.\u2018\u2018You couldn\u2019t plan something like that.\u201d The rescue men, whose efforts to find 10 missing miners had just been called off, described falling rocks, twisted steel and heroic attempts to reach those trapped underground by an explosion Saturday at the nearby Westray mine.They found 16 bodies of men killed in the blast before mine officials suspended their search Thursday afternoon, citing the hopelessness of their repeated forays and danger to the rescuers.One of the last crews out of the mine \u2014 from Bathurst, N.B.\u2014 returned to their motel at suppertime, many of Mine \u2018like a horror \u2014 rescuer them emotionally wrought.Waiting comrades embraced some of the sobbing draeger- men, black with coal dust.\u201cMy God, the stories,\u201d said a young miner, too overcome to talk.\u2018My God, the stories.\u201d CRUMBLING SHAFTS Others said some crews stayed in the crumbling black shafts beyond the recommended two-hour limit, scrambling over huge rockfalls and venturing into uncharted tunnels literally falling in around them and rife with explosive gas.\u201cWe couldn't wear electric watches.The current from the battery would have triggered an explosion.\u201d Others told of areas where they couldn\u2019t talk for fear the vibrations would cause a cave-in.All of the men spoke on condition they not be identified.Peering through the darkness from beneath See MINE, page 2.Majority support By Robert Russo OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A poll conducted two weeks ago suggests a majority of Canadians would have voted for a constitutional package that included distinct-society status for Quebec, native self-government, Senate reform and a social charter.The strongest support for the package was in Quebec, where 63 per cent were in favor, 26 per cent against and 11 per cent undecided, said the survey released Thursday by Insight Canada Research.Across the country, 55 per cent of respondents said they would support the package, while 32 per cent would vote no and 13 per cent said they did not mas == It was left to mine official Colin Benner to deliver the news to the families and reporters.\u201cWe have some final news we have no choice but to deliver,\u201d said an exhausted Ben- ner, his voice strained with emotion.REALIZE WORST \u2018Within the last hour, we've been provided with further particulars .that have led us to conclude that there is no reasonable possibility that any of our men who were underground at the time of the explosion have survived.\u201d The methane-gas explosion that ripped apart the new state- of-the-art coal mine last Saturday was incredibly powerful, .rattling homes for miles around.Still, as the search for survivors dragged on, there was always the hope that, somehow, some of the 26 men could have found a haven in the oxygen-starved mine.The families were told as they waited in the Plymouth fire hall, overlooking the Wes- tray mine.Across the street, reporters waiting at a community hall immediately realized the worst had happened.Family members and friends streamed out of the hall crying, hugging each other and trying to keep their faces from the glare of the cameras.They would say nothing to waiting reporters, but they didn\u2019t have to.One near-hysterical woman ran down a hill by the fire hall, desperately gesturing to camera crews and photographers to put down their lenses.They did.The only comfort for the families Thursday came from Nova Scotia\u2019s chief medical examiner, Roland Perry, who said the miners did not suffer.SOMEWHAT BURNED Perry examined the bodies of the 11 miners found a little more than halfway along the See SEARCH, page 2.\u201cdistinct know.The poll results were released as the

profit-sharing programs.\u201cThis budget carries a reassuring message for Quebecers: (the government) is determined to do everything to put its public finances in order,\u201d he said.The ever-smiling Lévesque cracked up when asked if it was a coincidence that the dramatic increase in federal transfers occurred in the same year as a planned referendum on Quebec sovereignty.But, recovering, he maintained the jump is the result of statistical adjustments and the repayment of money Quebec should have received in previous years.\u201cStill it comes at a good time,\u201d he said

rape bill is an attempt to use the blunt instrument of criminal law for a massive program of social education on sexual attitudes, criminal lawyers told MPs studying the legislation Thursday.\u201cEverybody is in favor of a re-education .but what we're worried about is a program that puts the slow learners in jail,\u201d said Robert Wakefield, of the Criminal Lawyers Association.\u201cThe criminal law is not historically the vehicle we have educated the community by,\u201d added Toronto lawyer Marlys Edwardh.also with the association.But the group faced sharp criticism from female MPs on the committee studying the bill.Conservative Barbara Greene described a case of \u201chorrific\u201d cross-examination of an elderly sexual assault victim and said \u2018criminal lawyers are really part of the problem.\u201d Earlier, a national women\u2019s group told MPs the law would help change sexual attitudes, just as stiff laws against drinking and driving have reduced impaired driving.\u2018The strong no means no law is just the beginning step to the other changes that must be made,\u201d said Flora Fernandez, of the sexual assault committee of the National Action -Committee on the Status of Women.FIRST TIME CASE The bill would define consent to sexual activity for the first time.A woman would have to give voluntary agreement to sex.There would be no agreement if a woman was drunk or the man was in a position of authority, such as a doctor.An accused defending himself by saying he honestly \u2014 but mistakenly \u2014 believed a woman consented would have to prove that he took all reasonable precautions to ascertain consent.The bill is a replacement for a previous law \u2014 struck down last year by the Supreme Court of Canada \u2014 which prohibited the questioning of sexual assault victims about their past sexual histories.The proposed legislation would permit such questioning in extremely limited cases.But the criminal lawyers said the bill wouldn\u2019t withstand a court challenge.They said the bill's flaws include: \u2014The severe limit on the use See RAPE.page 2.society\u2019 for Quebec \u2014 poll Prime

convince him to relent in his drive for \u2018\u2018distinct society\u201d status for natives, it is Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa.The grand chief of the Assembly of First Nations is scheduled to meet Bourassa today in Montreal.In an interview with the Canadian Press, Mercredi suggested he could be open to another definition to protect aboriginal peoples.\u201cI am going there with a strong mandate, but an open mind,\u201d he said.Mercredi also said he wants to \u2018\u2018create a new climate\u2019 with Quebec.He said he wants Que- becers to put the 1990 Oka crisis behind them and start on a new path with natives toward a common goal of renewed federalism.But he admitted there arc problems to be overcome.\u201cThe resistance to aboriginal people and their rights in Quebec is stronger than anytime in the past.\u201d Nonetheless, Mercredi said he wants to promote Quebec's rights in the rest of Canada.\u2018This is not just political opportunism,\u201d\u2019 he said, adjusting his glasses mechanically, as if to punctuate his words.\u201cT sincerely helieve it and += { show it I am ready to support: asymmetry if it is the only way to succeed.\u201d An asymmetrical system would

own people do not appreciate that.\u2019 « reach agreement as a population, then we would have to break the deadlock,\u201d he said in response to a question by NDP Leader Audrey McLaughlin.**We can\u2019t remain paralysed, paralysed as a Parliament, paralysed as a government, paralysed as a population.The population will have to speak.\u201d Insight Canada Research asked 1,100 Canadians between April 22 and May 2 if they would vote yes or no to a deal that included: \u2018Recognition of Quebec as a distinct society; recognition of native self-government; enshrinement of a statement of social goals; transfer of some powers to the provinces and a commitment for an elected and restructured Senate.\u201d The poll results are considered accurate to within plus or minus three per cent, 19 times out of 20.the package received the * weakest support on the Prairies, where 46 per cent said they would vote yes, 41 per cent would not back such a deal, and 13 per cent were undecided.In British Columbia, the figures were 50 per cent in favor, 40 per cent against and 10 per cent undecided.Ontario respondents were 55 per cent in favor, 32 per cent against and 13 per cent undecided \u2014 exactly the same as the overall national figures.The Atlantic region was 57 per cent in favor, 23 per cent against and 20 per cent undecided.Michael Marzolini, chairman of Insight Canada Research, said the relatively low national level of undecided respondents indicated that the results were not soft.But he cautioned that an actual referendum campaign and a different question could change the results. 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, May 15, 1992 The Townshi ps Sherbrooke historical society moves into renovated library By Alan Echenberg SHERBROOKE \u2014 The paint was as shiny as the building was old when the Sherbrooke Historical Society unveiled its new home Thursday.The old Sherbrooke Library building on Dufferin Street was reborn as the Centre d\u2019interprétation de l\u2019histoire de Sherbrooke in a short ceremony attended by more than 200 members of the city\u2019s cultural, academic and political communities.The historical society took the opportunity of the gathering to open the centre\u2019s first temporary exhibit titled \u201c1792 \u2014 Bound for the Townships\u201d, which commemorates the bicentennial of the Eastern Townships.It also launched a glossy brochure connected with the exhibition and unveiled a large plaque honoring the more than 75 individuals and businesses that helped fund the renovation of the building\u2019s interior.\u201cI am very, very pleased with the results of the renovation,\u201d said society president Andrée Désilets.\u201cIf I could describe my feelings in one historic phrase, it would be \u2018mission accomplished\u2019 \u201d.IDEAL HOME Sherbrooke Mayor Paul Ger- vais, one of the event\u2019s honored guests, said the old downtown building was an ideal home for an organization concerned with the city's history.\u201cIt\u2019s heartening to see history returning toits source,\u201d Ger- vais said.The building\u2019s renovated interior contains a basement archive room, the society\u2019s offices, a new elevator and two exhibition rooms.In recent years, exhibitions have become as much of a priority to the society as conserving the city\u2019s historical archives, Désilets said.The current bicentennial exhibition runs until mid- October.For more information on the exhibition, see today\u2019s cover story in Townships Week.International conference on Townships set for B.U.LENNOXVILLE (SNM) \u2014 Academics from Canada, the United States and even France will be at Bishop\u2019s University next weekend for a four-day conference to celebrate the

talk to each other.\u2019 SEARCH: \u2018It\u2019s not my to the particularities of Townships speech.But organizers say the May 21-24 conference is geared to the general public, not just university professors.\u201cWe've given instructions to our lecturers to make it open to as many people as possible,\u201d research centre chairman Jonathan Rittenhouse said Thursday.HERITAGE \u201cIt\u2019s not just to have academics talk to each other, but to celebrate the bicentennial and to attract people who are interested in the heritage and history of the Townships,\u201d Ritten- house said.The colloquium will include the launching of three new books at Uplands Museum in Lennoxville Thursday night.One is an update of the research centre\u2019s own bibliography of sources for the study of English-speaking Quebec.The second, titled Crofters and Habitants: Settler Society, Economy and Culture in a Quebec Township, 1848-1881, is by Simon Fraser University professor Jack Little.The third, by Concordia University professor Lewis Poteet, is called Talking Country: The Eastern Townships Phrase Book.TOURS Also on the weekend's agenda are guided walking tours of the old part of Sherbrooke and of the research centre\u2019s archives.Besides academics from across Canada who will attend, a professor from New Hampshire and one from Rennes, France, will also be there.Despite the wide appeal the Eastern Townships seem to hold for university researchers, Rittenhouse said many aspects of the region have yet to be fully studied.\u201cTo some degree it has been a little neglected,\u201d he said.\u201cThere are other regions that have been better covered.There\u2019s lots left to be done here.\u201d Registration for the four-day conference is $75, or $20 for a one-day registration.For

Bélanger and 16 other Champlain College students leave for the Dominican Republic Saturday, they won't be your average Quebec tourists getting away for a couple of weeks in the sun.And when they get there, they won\u2019t be spending much time on beaches or in trendy nightclubs.Instead, they\u2019ll be staying with poor families, working with street kids and building latrines for Haitian sugar-cane cutters.And they can\u2019t wait.\u201cYou can\u2019t go through something like that and not come back a different person.\u201d Bé- langer, 18.said earlier this week.\u201cYou can\u2019t see how those people live and not see your own life differently.\u201d PREPARATION The students, under the guidance of professor Jacque Brousseau, have spent months taking Spanish lessons, raising money for the six-week trip, learning about the Dominican Republic and making contact with families they\u2019ll be staying with there.The work they'll do in the Dominican Republic, a desperately poor Carribean country that shares anisland with Haiti, will be far from glamorous.They'll help clean up slum neighborhoods, work with orphans, plant trees and build toilets for Haitians who are virtual slaves OR sugar-cane plantations.In spite of all that, the students think they'll be the biggest beneficiaries of the trip.\u201cWe\u2019ll take back more than we give,\u201d said Isabelle Cham- pigny.a 19-year-old Champlain student from Ste-Hyacinthe.\u201cIf we can teach them something, that's great.But I think we\u2019ll be the ones who learn more.\u201d \u201cWe\u2019re not going there to try to save the world,\u201d Bélanger said.\u201cBut when we come back we can tell other people about our experience, and they\u2019ll learn something too.\u201d Champigny said the trip is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a young CEGEP student.\u201cIt\u2019s a chance to travel.to live a completely different culture.All the courses I've taken have been theoretical, but this will be very practical.\u201d This is the second year Brousseau has taken a group of students to the Dominican todo development work.He says the human links that are forged \u2019 are the biggest payoff.\u201cI think it will create bonds that are indestructible,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd I think that\u2019s even more important than buiding houses.\u201d And he says the students come back

testified Thursday.\u201cIt\u2019s not much protection but I guess it's a normal reflex,\u201d said Francois Julien of the police science laboratory in Montreal.Leblanc, 29, was murdered last Aug.29 at the 1243 Woodward Street apartment which she shared with her brother Alain in Sherbrooke.Sherbrooke police arrested Leblanc\u2019s ex-boyfriend, Jean- Paul Provost, 44, and charged him with first-degree murder.BLOOD STAINS Julien\u2019s expertise allows him to reconstruct the events of a murder by analyzing blood stains at the scene.He explained to jurors how blood-stained walls, blinds and furniture allowed him to estimate where Leblanc was when she was shot with a 12-gauge shotgun.Speaking to the 12-member Superior Court jury, Julien said evidence led him to .conclude that Leblanc was standing at the foot of her bed while she tried to sheild herself from the close-range shotgun blast which struck her left thigh.Wounded, Leblanc tried to flee her assailant by entering the apartment's corridor and then a second bedroom, he said.She cowered there, seated on the bed, when a second close-range blast struck her neck and face.Throughout the trial jurors have been shown photographs of the victim and murder scene.BLOOD MATCHED Police recovered a single- shot shotgun with a missing butt from the apartment.Police testimony earlier this week revealed they arrested Provost leaving the apartment in a blood-stained shirt on the day of the murder.Julien said the blood on the shirt matched Leblanc\u2019s own blood.Pathologist André Lauzon, from the same police science laboratory as Julien, testified that the blast to Leblanc\u2019s thigh was not fatal and that she died from the second blast, which also struck her hand as Leblanc tried to shield herself.\u201cIt was a rapid death.\u201d said Lauzon, who performed the autopsy on Leblanc.In earlier testimony Thursday, hand-writing expert Francois Meunier said graffeti found on the apartment\u2019s wall and two scribbled notes matched Provost\u2019s script.The trial continues today with testimony from a ballistics expert.Masked crooks hit Waterville SHERBROOKE \u2014 Two men held up the Caisse Populaire credit union in Waterville Thursday morning, making off with an undisclosed amount of money.The men both wore nylon stockings over their heads and one was armed with a 12-gauge shotgun, Quebec Police Force spokesman Tom McConnell said.They escaped in a stolen car that was recovered several hours later.No onc was hurt in the robbery.Police set up roadblocks on several highways around Wa- terville, but failed to find the robbers.RECORD/PERRY BEATON said.\u201cWithout the support of the foundation we wouldn\u2019t be able to meet those needs.\u201d Trousdell said that with increasingly tight budgets it's getting harder and harder not only to afford new technologies.but also to replace aging equipment.NEEDS EVERYTHING She said that when the foundation asked hospital department heads to draw up a list of priorities, the total bill added up to more than $2 million.That included everything from major diagnostic equipment to simple things like replacing wheelchairs, operating room tables and broken chairs in patients rooms.Trousdell said that faced with a freeze in next year\u2019s budget, the hospital will have to tighten its belt even further.The foundation is a life saver in providing equipment which would otherwise be impossible to purchase, she said.The goal for this year is $325,000, which will enable the foundation to support

radiology at Sherbrooke Hospital, said that until now they have been forced to send patients to other hospitals for echography examinations.Trousdell said this was costly, not only in transportation, but also in staff members required to accompany patients.She said that in the first year of using the machine the hospital expects to save 40 per cent of its costs.Dr.Perras said the new echo- graphy

1992 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Quebec throws taxpayers a bone Good news for Quebecers: the big bad news budget didn\u2019t strike Thursday as expected.But will the break from tax increases last for long?Thanks to increased transfer payments from the federal government, Finance Minister Gérard D.Lévesque was able to deliver a relatively painless budget to tax- weary Quebecers.The dramatic increase in federal transfers, cash repayments Quebec should have .gotten in previous years, came at a most opportune moment as Quebec is on the eve an emotional referendum on sovereignty.And with all this good news, can a provincial election be far behind?It seems Liberals in Quebec City, as well as Tories in Ottawa, get more generous when they\u2019re backed into a corner.Throw the taxpayers a bone, keep them happy and maybe they won\u2019t attack.And nice bones they are.There were no increases in personal income tax, or in gasoline, tobacco and alcohol taxes.The service tax was halved from the planned 8 per cent and there is even an increase in baby bonuses for women giving birth to three or more future taxpayers.Perhaps Quebec has realized that Que- becers can\u2019t handle any more tax increases; that extra consumer taxes have caused too many people to cross the border and spend their money elsewhere; and that cigarette taxes were leading to an increased crime rate both in tobbaco theft and in smuggling.Besides, while the provincial government didn\u2019t increase it\u2019s own tax bills, they have ensured municipal taxes will skyrocket to make up for it.What we\u2019re saving today we\u2019ll soon be handing over to our towns and cities to pay for the transfer of responsibilities for roads, transit and police protection from Quebec to municipalities.eve : The big provincial tax wolf may have been kept at bay for a while, but lots of little municipal ones, starved by the provincial government, are preparing to pounce.PIR ~ =< RITA LEGAULT Letters New free trade deal\u2019s impact on environment secret for now \u2014 Charest By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Canadians won\u2019t be informed about the environmental impact of the North American Free Trade Agreement until after cabinet has approved the deal, federal Environment Minister Jean Charest confirmed Thursday.Opposition critics say the procedure makes a mockery of Ottawa\u2019s commitment to openness in | environmentally sensitive decision making.The environmental assessment of the proposed deal is taking place in complete secrecy.Even the terms of reference have not been made public.But Charest said the fact that an assessment is taking place represents \u2018another major shift in the way the government does business, a major shift not to be underestimated.\u201d Testifying before the Commons environment committee, he said negotiations on the deal and an environmental assessment of its impact will take place simultaneously, and will be presented to cabinet at the same time.Once cabinet has made a decision, both documents will be made public.\u201cWe present it (the text of the deal) to the House, and as we present it to the House, present to them also the information from an environmental point of view on which we based our judgment,\u2019 he said in an interview later.HOLDS MAJORITY The deal does not become official policy until the Commons approves it, but since the government holds a majority in Commons, the cabinet decision is the one that counts.Environmentalists and opposition critics have major concerns about the deal, fearing that Canadian companies will be forced to lower their environmental standards to compete with Mexican companies.Liberal environment critic Paul Martin pressed in vain for information about the assessment.Charest referred Martin\u2019s questions to an official who said it has been difficult to develop a methodology for the review: \u2018\u2018Progress is slow and difficult but I think we're breaking new ground,\u201d said the official.In 1990, the federal cabinet committed itself to conduct an environmental assessment of cabinet policies.The federal green plan contains a commitment \u2018\u2018toprovide timely, accurate and accessible information to enable Canadians to make environmentally sensitive decisions.\u201d Itis expected that the trade deal could be signed within weeks.Option Canada meeting: \u2018So, where were you?Sherbrooke Record: I am appalled at your lack of coverage concerning the Option Canada

Waterloo Native wom By Wendy Cox Edith Gagen was exiled from her reserve 30 years ago when she married a white man and the federal government decided she was no longer Indian.She got her Indian status back when Ottawa changed the law in 1985, but further discrimination \u2014 this time from her own people \u2014 has left her worried about what will happen under self- government.\u2018\u201cSelf-government will leave us worse off than people in the Third World,\u201d she says from her home in Winnipeg.Gagen, 52, is one of a number of Canadian natives firmly opposed to what has become the latest cause celebre in the current round of constitutional talks.Earlier this week in Vancouver, Canada\u2019s four main aboriginal groups and federal and provincial officials agreed to include the natives\u2019 inherent right to self- government in the Constitution.Aboriginal governments would also have the right to use the notwithstanding clause so the Charter of Rights and Freedoms could not be used to violate native traditions.But Grace Meconse, 51, a native women\u2019s advocate in Selkirk, Man., says without Charter guarantees, native women will be at the mercy of band councils that, in some cases, are exclusive and dominated by men.Many of those women are also considered second-class on some reserves because they have only recently been declared Indian by the federal government.Meconse and Gagen have both lived off their reserves since they married non-natives.LOSE VOTE Their marriages cost them their Indian status, a chance to live in a government-provided house on the reserve and to vote in band elections.Their children were also not considered native and are therefore ineligible to apply for a band-subsidized university education.Native men who married nonnative women lost none of these rights.Indians also lost their status if they chose to vote, attend university, enlist in the Canadian military or even drink in a bar.The federal government introduced Bill C-31 seven years ago to restore status to natives.Gagen and Meconse are among almost 82,000 who got their status back.But after the tedious and sometimes years-long process of convincing the federal government their birthright is authentic, reinstated Indians aren\u2019t guaranteed they will be accepted as a member of their ancestral band.Bill Montour, spokesman for the Assembly of First Nations, says his group can\u2019t dictate rules to bands.\u2018The onus is on each individual nation to guarantee rights.Each member is going to have to exert their own vocal powers to convince the nations,\u201d he said.LACK OF SERVICES Most of Canada\u2019s bands deter- en say self-government a threat mine their own membership codes.Many are already struggling with overcrowded reserves, long waiting lists for housing, and a lack of basic services such as plumbing.Although Ottawa provided funding to reserves to provide for the increase in population, band councils were left to decide whether to apply the money to new members or to long-time members that had been on waiting lists for services.In a few cases, bands simply didn\u2019t want C-31 members.Some oil-rich bands in Alberta, for example, created especially restrictive membership codes because they didn\u2019t want too many slices taken out of the resource royalties pie.Gagen found she isn\u2019t welcome on her Cree reserve near Winnipeg.I still think that\u2019s my home.\u201d she says softly.\u2018That's where 1 was born.That's where I was raised.Now, everytime I go back, I feel like an outcast.\u201d | i Assimilation concerns Canadian Jewish Congress By Stephen Nicholls TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Growing up in the downtown \u2018\u2018 Jewish ghetto\u201d of 1940s Toronto, Irving Abella got his first lesson in survival at the age of seven.He was beaten by schoolmates for taking a flag to school to mark the declaration of the state of Israel.In a much different Canada of today, his own kids don\u2019t worry much about anti-Semitism.But now there\u2019s a new threat to Canada\u2019s 330,000 Jews \u2014 assimilation.\u2018Everything is open to them,\u201d says Abella, newly acclaimed president of the Canadian Jewish Congress.\u2018They have options that Jews of a previous generation never had, which also makes it very difficult for some people to be Jewish.There\u2019s all sorts of other things they can be and do.\u201d Infact, assimilation is at the top of Abella\u2019s agenda as the congress heads into its plenary session in Toronto May 20-24.\u201cHaving come through the Holocaust and having lost up to a third to a half of the Jewish population through extermination, now it seems there\u2019s a major concern that we're going to lose a lot of other young kids through marriage and assimilation and dropping of their connection to Judaism,\u201d says Abella, 51.Taking a break from marking exams tor the Canadian and American history courses he teaches at York University, Abella re- laxes in the family room of the home he shares with wife Rosalie, a justice of the Ontario Court of Appeal, and their two teenage sons.NO ADMITTANCE In addition to books on labor history, Abella wrote A Coat of Many Colors: Two Hundred Years of Jewish Life in Canada.He also was co-author of None is Too Many: Canada and the Jews of Europe, detailing Canada\u2019s restrictions on Jewish immigration before, during and after the Second World War.His \u2018\u201cJewishness,\u2019\u2019 he says, has always been important.\u201cIt was made important because there was so much anti-Semitism when I was growing up.\u201d His father, who worked in the garment industry and later opened a restaurant, withdrew his son from public school after the flag incident and enrolled him in Hebrew school.But every day after classes \u2018we had these tough kids waiting for us.\u201d The resulting combat, Abella says, \u2018\u2018was a sort of a testing of our manhood or our Judaism.\u201d Canada at the time was \u2018\u2018a xenophobic, racist society,\u201d he says.\u201cJews were kept out of all sorts of occupations.In this area (of north Toronto where he now lives), a Jew couldn\u2019t buy a house, for example.\u2018It was a very nativist, chauvinist Canada that I grew up in.And I guess one of the wonderful things about this country is the transformation in less than a generation to the open, equitable, cosmopolitan, multicultural society that it became.\u201d BIGOTRY FADED He attributes the change to increasing awareness of the horrors of the Holocaust and to civil- rights fights by Jews, including soldiers who returned from war and \u2018\u2018refused to accept second- class status.\u201d Also, as the country opened its borders to wider immigration to boost its labor force, cultural attitudes changed.Now.many in the Jewish community are worried about a loss of the \u2018\u2018Jewish connection\u2019 among young people.Assimilation, including intermarriage with non-Jews, is growing.Abella cites an American study indicating that in some parts of the United States 70 per cent of Jews marry outside their faith.\u2018If the demographic trends continue, then the Jewish population will decline and Jewish kids will lose whatever connection they had.\u201d he says.Abella says a new approach to youth is needed.\u2018We tell them that Jewishness is an obligation, a duty, they have a heavy responsibility.But we don\u2019t tell them what wonderful tradition, connections we have, and what a wonderful past we have to be proud of.\u201d Trips to Israel could bolster that.he suggests.And visits to Nazi death camps would remind young people of \u2018\u2018the price that previous generations had to pay for being Jewish.\u201d \u2018VOCAL, IMPORTANT\u201d Canadian unity is also a vital issue for the Canadian Jewish Congress, Abella says.\u201cWe should play an important role as a vocal, important community in entering into the debate.\u201d Other priorities include keeping watch for \u2018\u2018new anti- Semites, the Holocaust-deniers,\u201d and prosecuting war criminals living in Canada.As for support of Israel, he acknowledges that issues such as settlement on the disputed West Bank have caused unease within the Canadian Jewish community.But \u2018\u2018dissent is as Jewish as chicken soup,\u2019 he says.\u201cI think the bottom line for all Canadian Jews is that Israel must be secure, it must be Jewish, it must be democratic and it must be tolerant.And within those am- bits, everything is debatable.\u201d Ultimately, he says, the problems must be settled \u2018\u2018by the people who live in the area.\u201d Meanwhile, Abella and his wife are trying to instil in their sons, Jacob, 18, and Zachary, 15, an appreciation of what it is to be Jewish.\u201cWe've told them how important it is to survive,\u2019 he says.\u2018*We have survived for thousands of years and we want to survive for thousands of years more.\u201d EE EE ES sauvs4 0000 A0 -\u2014_ sun van + x.: >a a a at met Sm nee wk.te maninintotnansscndonassbandhiss vas ass 2000 su cu 54 10 \u2018Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Friday, May 15, 1992\u20145 Record \u201cSurvey finds desire to boost quality By Murray Oxby TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Some of Canada\u2019s biggest companies have ambitious plans to boost product quality over the next three years, an international survey suggests.But their past performance \u201cmakes it doubtful they\u2019ll be i able to carry out their plans and catch up to the Japanese : and other competitors, says an - official with Ernst and Young, .which sponsored the survey.\u201cThere seems to be enormous appetite for change,\u201d - said Chris Green, the company\u2019s national director of management consulting.The level of change still needed suggests the firms may be \u201chopelessly optimistic about what they can realistically accomplish over the next three years,\u201d Green said in an interview.\u201cThe degree of improvement predicted is totally out of scale with what\u2019s been accomplished in the last three years.\u201d The study compares the quality management practices of 500 companies in Canada, the United States, Japan and Germany in four industries: autos, banking, computers, and health care.It defines quality as meeting customer needs and expectations, as well as making products without defects.It looks at the extent to which companies use \u2014 or are planning to use \u2014 practices such as statistical analysis, employee quality teams, seeking the views of customers, and tying executive pay to quality levels.WILLY-NILLY APPROACH The study, which involved firms such as major banks, General Motors of Canada and Northern Telecom, was conducted by Ernst and Young, an international accounting and consulting firm, and the American Quality Foundation, a New York-based think tank.Green said Canadian companies have adopted quality practices in a \u2018\u2018patchwork\u2019\u2019 fashion in recent years.Instead, he said, customer expectations should guide all aspects of the firm from product design to marketing.High quality is necessary for Canada to maintain its share of world trade, Green said.\u201cTo sustain the level of employment, to sustain our level of economic activity, we have to be a very substantial exporter of goods and services.\u201d The study found the auto industry was furthest ahead in adopting quality practices, because they\u2019ve had the \u2018\u2018fiercest competitive battle to fight, willl ue Jdapdllese, ureen said.Companies in computers, banking and health care followed in their commitment to quality.Other findings of the study: \u2014Hospitals put little emphasis on the views of customers \u2014 patients, doctors and employees \u2014 in developing services.\u2014North American banks show the greatest desire for change and have gone the furthest in developing new products and services.\u2014Canadian computer companies plan large increases in employee training in customer relations.\u2014The auto industry is placing more emphasis on direct contact with customers through visits and surveys to get feedback and ideas for new products.Wage settlements up slightly in first quarter OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Wage settlements in the first three months

a supplement of $17.75 per month for each child under 7 years of age if the taxpayer has not claimed any child care expenses; a supplement of $41.67 per month for low-income working families and an additional $6.25 per month for a third child and each succeeding one.The last federal budget proposes to considerably modify programmes for child benefits, including family allowances.Currently, the government administers three programmes for child benefits.Monthly family allowances, usually paid to the mother, for children under 18 years of age were implemented in 1945.A refundable tax credit to the person who receives the family allowance, which is based on family income, the number and the age of the eligible children, was introduced in 1979.Finally, a non-refundable child tax credit per child 18 years of age took effect in 1947.The budget proposes to replace the three existing programmes with a monthly payment generally made to the mother.Monthly payments will be based on income for previous years.All children under 18 years of age will be eligible for this new programme.The first payments will be made in January 1993 based on the family income declared in the 1991 tax year.From July 1993, the monthly payments will be based on information of 1992.As a result, the last federal family allowance cheque will be paid in Decem- In order to target assistance to low and middle- income families, the new child tax benefit will decrease gradually as family income exceeds the specified threshold.According to available budget documents, it appears that the monthly benefit will be reduced by 5 per cent of net family income in excess of $25,291 for families with two or more children (2.5 per cent for families with one child).The family allowance programmed implemented nearly 50 years ago will undergo a name change in 1993.Eligibility calculations appear no less complex than before;

Ann Landers Dear Ann Landers: In 1983, a couple wrote to you saying they wanted to leave money to charity and asked you to recommend an organization that helps humanity and does very little skimming off the top.You replied, \"The Hereditary Disease Foundation, No other foundation comes close.Its integrity is exemplary.\u201d As the president of the Hereditary Disease Foundation, I am delighted that we have your confidence, especially these days when many organizations are being investigated for betraying the public trust.The Hereditary Disease Foundation is a tax-exempt organization dedicated to finding the cure for hereditary illness.One hundred percent of all contributions are placed in a restricted research bank account and can be used only for science.Our board of trustees pays for our very low administrative costs.Since you gave us that generous accolade nine years ago, we have been named as beneficiary in a number of wills from people throughout the country.In some instances, the entire estate has been donated to the Hereditary Disease Foundation.This is a remarkable testimonial to the trust people have in you, Ann Landers.All of us at the Hereditary Disease Foundation extend our heartfelt thanks for giving the public the facts.Our new address is: Spirituality 1s hard to express in words This spring, my nostalgia is running rampant.It's the 25th anniversary of Expo \u201867.which opened my eyes and my senses to the rest of the world.Working on the site for a year, working with people from all over the world.I had a profound experience of what it means to be a human being and a vision of a world where individuals realize their connection to all human beings everywhere regardless of language, color, religion.race.culture, etc.May also

to 18 and proceeding over the green lawns between the huge trees and the wisteria and lilac bushes.This was a deeply spiritual experience for me.Dancing around the Maypole with people from all over the world at the Intercultural Institute's \u201cLiving with the Earth\u201d conference at Orford Centre a couple of weeks ago felt like full circle.During the almost 40 years in between Sacred Heart and Mount Orford.I have discovered what \u201cspirituality\u201d is for me.It is not words.and sometimes it is difficult to put into words.PRESENT MOMENT Spirituality is an experience.It is the experience of knowing the eternal in the present moment.It is knowing that this moment will never be again.and yet when 1 am fully in this moment 1 share this experience with my brother and sister human beings back to the beginning of our species and into our future.As an experience.I don't need to be any special place with any special people to have it.Over the years, listening to others.reading sacred books, participating in rituals like the Spiral Dance, the Jewish Sabbath.Christian Communion, Hindu firewalking, I do value setting aside time to deepen my experience.Above all else, I live here in the country among the hills and trees, spring mud and summer weeds, all of which nurture my spirit.By Rosemary, Sullivag How 1 came to understand the personal as political was through the realization that the earth\u2019s own organic resources and process more than anything else supported me to connect with my own spirit.So for me.the monetary value of these resources become secondary to their ultimate value as part of the process of wholeness.health and holiness.When 1 came to understand that the earth's resources are the very essence of what nurtures our bodies, hearts and spirit, it became clear that there is a higher purpose than production.NATURAL ORDER To work with the earth, the natural world, with our bodies as well as our minds, to produce food and products that foster life is holy work, is spiritual.My goal in life is to live and work in this way as much as I can.I do believe humanity exists in utter dependence on the natural order and that our purpose is to come to know that and celebrate it through science and the arts, medicine.whatever.Nothing truly \u201cprogressive\u201d needs to destroy the natural order.What is often pawned off in the name of \u201cprogress\u201d, like creating bigger and better deadlier weapons, isn't progressive, it\u2019s regressive.Studying the natural growth process in myself has led me to see that economic change and the structural transformation of society are basic to spirituality, to the spirit moving us to wholeness here on earth.The National Action Committee on the Status of Women (57 Mobile Drive, Toronto, On., M4A 1H5), whose annual general meeting will be held in Ottawa, June 5-8, reports in their recent issue of Action Now how the recent federal budget is a serious attack on women\u2019s equality rights because it cancels the Court Challenges Program, which provided seed funding for interventions by equality-seeking groups in defending rights before the courts.The government also announced it will not honor retroactive pay equity settlements to almost 70,000 women in the public service, no matter what the Human Rights Tribunal decides.NON-VIOLENT Does this disturb you?Is there a voice inside that rises up and says, \u201cNo, this is wrong, this is unjust!\u201d Spirituality for me is listening to that voice and finding some non-violent way to express it.Writing is one concrete way I use to honor myself, my \u201cspirit\u201d.This week I will write Prime Minister Mulroney, Justice Minister Kim Campbell and the Human Rights Committee chair Bruce

OUT OF BOUNDS!\u201d In spite of the warnings, however, several skiers went into the area.The result?A half-mile-wide avalanche buried four of the trespassers beneath tons of snow and rock.This tragedy never would have happened if the signs had been heeded.God has posted clear warning signs in the Bible to tell us what kinds of behavior and attitudes are off-limits.The Lord loves us and wants to spare us from tragedy.He warned us about lying, stealing, blasphemy, filthy language, adultery, murder, \u201cDANGER! OUT OF BOUNDS!\u201d But now you must also put off all these: anger.wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language.\u2014 Colossians 3:8 drunkenness, and a host of other sins.Yet, many times we ignore His warnings and intentionally wander into a forbidden area.We convince ourselves that nothing bad will happen to us or that we can turn back if we sense danger.But God is not kidding, nor is He being authoritarian.Sinning guarantees His disapproval and opens the door to remorse and tragedy.A person who repeatedly commits these sins may be giving evidence that he has never really been saved (1 John 3:4-9).Are you tempted to explore a forbidden area of sin?Don\u2019t be foolish.Heed God\u2019s warning signs that say, \u201cDANGER!

start today in the Eastern Townships.Fishermen who favor those species are luckier than those anglers who go after trout, who had to wait several days to be able to fish on their favorite lakes.The lakes were covered with ice when the trout season started, but now, happily, all the ice has melted away.: Our region might not have a reputation as one of the best or walleye and pike, but there are still many lakes where you can find them.There\u2019s no doubt this will be a busy weekend for anglers, and not just those going after walleye and pike.It will be the first weekend for many fis- Hermen to enjoy the sport this Year.BEWARE OF FIRE : With the arrival of the nice weather, our wilderness spaces will be invaded by thousands of nature lovers in the next few months.This will increase the risk of forest fires.< Remember, the spring is the season with the most forest fires on territory protected by the Société de Conservation du Sud du Québec.Statistics show that 56 per cent of forest fires in the last five years happened during the pike fisherman admiring his Catch.RECORDREAL HEBERT Catch pike and walleye fever Great outdoors REAL HEBERT \u2014 spring.Chantal Drapeau, prevention inspector for the society, says far too many of these fires occur during this nice season, and many are the fault of outdoors lovers who are not careful.The society is launching an appeal, asking nature lovers to be vigilant during this period, because - 99 per cent of the fires are caused by human negligence.During 1991, in the area served by the society, 39 forest fires destroyed 34.10 hectares of forest and caused more than $98,000 in damages.Water bombers were needed to fight four such fires in the Townships.Please be careful during wildreness outings and keep our forests green, It\u2019s everyone\u2019s responsibility to be.careful.ISLAND BROOK The management of the Island Brook Fish and Game Club reminds its members they are expected tomorrow for the big spring clean-up on club property.That's from 9 a.m.to 5 p.m., and it\u2019s hoped you\u2019ll be there for this annual event.142 on SEATTLE (CP) \u2014 Specialty teams are a huge reason for the growing success of the Sault Ste.Marie Greyhounds in the Memorial Cup tournament.The Ontario Hockey League champions have scored five po- wer-play goals in three games and Wednesday night used an unexpected short-handed marker by captain Rick (Killer) Kowalsky to remain unbeaten after three games.Kowalsky\u2019s unexpected unassisted goal at 17:58 of the final period gave the Greyhounds a 4-3 decision over the hard-working Seattle Thunder- Greyhounds turning their power-play birds and a berth in the championship game Sunday.Standing atop the round- robin standings with a 3-0 mark is a huge reversal for the Greyhounds after they didn\u2019t win a game in the 1991 major junior championship at Quebec City.\u201cWe\u2019ve got a lot of confidence right now,\u201d Kowalsky said.\u2018\u2018Last year we were unprepared for this, but now we're more relaxed.\u201cWe know we're capable of winning this thing.The bounces are going our way and that comes when you're relaxed.\u201d Bruins all \u2018fore\u2019 one and one for all BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Togetherness is an important part of the Boston Bruins' game plan in their bid for a first Stanley Cup championship since 1972.So.the Bruins played together Thursday \u2014 on the golf course.Less than 24 hours after they learned they would meet the Pittsburgh Penguins for the second straight year in the Wales Conference final, the Bruins took time out for a day of fun.\u201cI don\u2019t want them to leave anything on the practice ice,\u201d coach Rick Bowness said.The Bruins have been idle since Saturday, when they beat Montreal 2-0 and won the Adams Division for the fourth time in five years by sweeping the Canadiens.While marking time as Pitts- Rangers failures continue burgh\u2019s defending Stanley Cup champions went six games to eliminate the New York Rangers, the Bruins practised Tuesday and Wednesday.They have heavy workouts scheduled for today and Saturday before opening the best-of-seven series in Pittsburgh on Sunday.\u201cIt\u2019s an important part of the game that you stick together as a team,\u201d defenceman Glen Wesley said.\u2018You have fun together, you relax together, you talk about what\u2019s coming up in the next series.\u201cIf you stick together and are close as a team, you'll be closer on the ice.And you're going to work harder for the guy sitting next to you.\u201d Although Pittsburgh beat Boston in six games last year, Bowness said there is no comparison heading into this year\u2019s showdown \u2018\u2018because of the difference in our team.BOLSTERS TEAM \u201cWe're younger, we're faster,\u2019\u2019 said Bowness.whose team was bolstered by the arrival of five players who competed in the Winter Olympics and the post-season signing of Glen Murray.\u201cWe're a little more inexperienced, but that hasn't stopped us yet.\u2018\u2018So there's no comparison between what we sent against them last year and what we're sending against them this year.\u201d Bowness said the Penguins \u201cdidn\u2019t surprise me at all\u201d in rallying from a 2-1 deficit to beat the Rangers, even without injured stars Mario Lemieux and Joe Mullen.\u2018 \u2018\u201cEven without Lemieux, they\u2019ve got tons of scoring,\u201d Bowness said.\u2018\u2019They've got Rick Tocchet, Jaromir Yagr, Ron Francis, Kevin Stevens.\u201cI'm sure they're a better team with Lemieux and Mullen, but they still can put points on the board.\u201d The Bruins are loaded with confidence.After going up 3-1 and forced to a seventh and deciding game against Buffalo, they shocked the Canadiens, even though all-star defence- man Ray Bourque was lost with a fractured right hand in the second game.Bourque is working out, but his status is uncertain for Sunday's game.\u201cI think we surprised a lot of people.\u201d Wesley said.\u2018I don't think many people expected us to go this far.\u201cWe've been the underdogs in both series and we'll be the underdogs again.\u201d 52 years of \u2018Wait \u2018til next year\u2019 By Ken Rappoport NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 \u2018\u2018Nineteen Forty! Nineteen Forty!\u201d The derisive chant spilled down section by section until soon it seemed to echo throughout Pittsburgh\u2019s Civic Arena.When the New York Rangers heard that, they knew their number was up.Again.When the Pittsburgh Penguins beat New York 5-1 to eliminate the Rangers from the Patrick Division final Wednesday.they added yet another futile chapter in the Rangers\u2019 inglorious history.As the seconds ticked down in Game 6.Pittsburgh\u2019s fans began taunting the Rangers with the chant, a cruel reminder that it has now been 52 years since the team last won the NHL championship.\u2018\u201cThe disappointing part is that the Stanley Cup was up for grabs and this was definitely a year we could have won it,\u201d Rangers coach Roger Neilson said.The disappointment ranks right up there with previous failures, like 1950 when they lost in overtime in the seventh game of the final, and 1972 and 1979 \u2014 the only other times since 1940 that they've played in the championship series.New York had the NHL's best regular-season record (50- 25-5) \u2014 its first 50-win campaign \u2014 home-ice advantage, and, for the most part, its health.This has been no small factor with the Rangers through the years.In the 1972 championship, Jean Ratelle suffered a broken ankle when hit by a teammate\u2019s shot.He returned to play in the final against Boston, but was ineffective as the Bruins won in six games.In 1979, Rangers goaltender John Davidson played on damaged knees and New York went down meekly to Montreal in five games.Two years ago, all-star de- fenceman Brian Leetch broke his ankle near the end of the season and didn\u2019t play as the Rangers lost to Washington in the Patrick Division final.A cursed franchise?It may not be metaphysical, but certainly there has been a lot of bad luck attached to the franchise\u2019s history.And whenever the Rangers have a good team, there always seems to be one better.At least since 1940.In 1950.the Rangers led Detroit 3-2 in the final.Detroit tied the series, then won the Stanley Cup on Pete Babando\u2019s overtime goal.In 1972, New York couldn't match bobby Orr\u2019s creativity and speed.And in 1979.New York won the opener in Montreal, causing Canadiens coach Scotty Bowman \u2014 now behind the bench for the Penguins \u2014 to start backup goalie Bunny La- rocque in Game 2.But Larocque was injured in the warmup, and Ken Dryden took a starring role in leading Montreal to four straight wins.\u201cIt\u2019s a gut-wrenching time.\" Rangers general manager Neil Smith said.**This year looked like the year we could do it.\u201d The Rangers had assembled a formidable team led by captain Mark Messier, who came to New York from Edmonton with five Stanley Cup rings.Playing consistent hockey from start to finish.the Rangers never lost more than three straight games.But following the 10-day players strike.they seemed to lose their steam.\u201cI think the strike threw us off.\u2019 Neilson said.\u2018The layoff seemed to help some teams.and hurt others.\u201d What may have hurt the Rangers even more was a rugged seven-game first-round series with New Jersey.But so did a controversial incident in Game 2 of the Patrick final, when New York's Adam Graves's slash knocked Pittsburgh's Mario Lemieux out of the series with a broken hand.Graves played Game 3 before being suspended for four games \u2014 in effect.the rest of the series.\u201cWe've come a long way from October.but we still have a long way to go.\u2019 Messier said.\u2018I hope we can take this.learn and grow from it and become legitimate Stanley Cup contenders.\u2019 Prices will test your Olympic mettle BARCELONA (AP)\u2014 Figure on $5,000 for airfare.Throw in $3,500 for hotels, if you can find one that\u2019s not already fully booked, and add another $1,000 or so for meals.And how about those tickets for the opening ceremonies at up to $550 apiece?While athletes will be going for gold at the Summer Olympics, many spectators will simply be going broke.It will cost an average Canadian family of four more than $10,000 to attend one week of the Games that begin July 25 in Barcelona.The reasons for the high costs are fairly obvious \u2014 Barcelona\u2019s standard of living has increased dramatically since it was awarded the Games in 1986, and an event such as the Olympics multiplies prices as demand outstrips supply for hotel rooms and other services.The strength of the Spanish peseta and the weakness of the Canadian dollar exacerbates the situation.Items unaffected by Olympic inflation still seem expensive in Barcelona.But that doesn\u2019t prevent people from being shocked when they hear some of the prices: \u2014 Hotels charging $100 a night until July 24, then immediately shooting up to $375 a night.\u2014 Some luxury rental cars reported to cost $1,200 a day.\u2014 Bed and breakfast establishments costing a couple $230 a day.RISE STEADILY Guy Burton, public affairs officer for the U.S.Consulate in Barcelona, has watched prices steadily increase during his four years in the coastal city.\u201cFor those who know Spain from years ago, it has changed enormously,\u2019\u2019 says Burton.\u2018\u2018And one of those ways is in the cost of living.\u2018\u2019Those people who remember Spain at a certain stage of development will be surprised.and that surprise will be a costly one.\u201d To any North American who thinks he or she can do Spain on a shoestring this summer: forget i.Let\u2019s take an average family of four, two adults and two teenagers, who've decided they're willing to fight the heat and crowds in Barcelona.The average airfare from Canada, based upon 30-day advance booking, will cost about $1,250 per person, or a total of $5,000 for the family.Once they've cleared customs at Barcelona's new international terminal.the family has three options to reach a hotel in downtown Barcelona: taxi.train or bus.The taxi costs about $25, the bus runs every 15 minutes and costs $4.50 and the train is every 30 minutes $2.50.The Expo Hotel.which usually charges $110 for a single or double room.is charging $375 per night \u2014 plus six per cent tax \u2014 from July 24 until Aug.10, the day after the Olympics.There is a 17-night minimum stay.FULLY BOOKED With those prices.you'd think the place would be half empty.Wrong.The Expo Hotel is fully booked for that period.with all rooms already 100 per cent pre-paid.The sharp increase in hotel rates and the high demand for rooms encouraged companies to spring up offering bed and breakfast in people's homes.Aerobic sports is finally back ontrack.Apologies to all the amateur aerobic athletes who have depended on the column for many yars to inform them in training and

Marathon two weeks later but was originally conceived as a torture test over some of the more unforgiving gradients the Green Mountain State has to offer.-In the heat, the course be- Aerobic Sports By

gruelling circuit force an untimely withdrawal.Elite and beginning distance runner alike have found this race taxing to the limit and this year was no exception.Some well prepared candidates were forced to retire as early as5 km into the race.Others adopted a walk and run strategy completing the distance slowly but surely.Fluids and a light lunch sue- cessfully revived ail the participants and the race committee solemnly promised to provide the \u201cHills\u201d again next year to all comers.As the season warms up the question of heat adaptation becomes more important to all endurance athletes.The problem may be divided into two basic sub-types.The first results from overheating because of a biomechanical inefficiency.Here the less well trained or skillful athlete actually generates more heat at a given pace than his better trained counterpart.The second factor is dependent on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity.radiant energy (sunlight), wind and clothing.The phenomenon of heat adaptation occurs when an athlete is suddenly subjected to a warmer environment after training at a lower temperature over an extended period.At first, the body is relatively inefficient, developing more heat and demonstrating poor cooling capabilities.Six to ten days later a dramatic improvement occurs permitting higher training and racing stress with less tendency to excess body temperature (hyperthermia).The athlete is then able to achieve nearly maximal performance at the high environmental terapera- ture.This is seen typically during the first few warm spring days in Quebec or duing wee- klong winter vacations to the south where the northern runner finds it difficult to exercise until near the end of the holiday week when he is again able to perform well.Interestingly, there is no corresponding initial gain when moving back to the colder climate.Prevention works to some extent if heavy gear is worn for several days prior to the warming in external conditions.However.much of the body\u2019s cooling occurs through the respiratory tract and this implies a need for the breathing of warm air to complete the simulation.Indoor winter training is a solution for some urban athletes.When a jump in temperature or humidity occurs, the athlete should remember the basic principles of light clothing, hydration before and during exercise, controlled effort especially during longer runs, and close attention to the signs of dehydration and heat exhaustion.Surprisingly, it is often the more experienced competitors who Aerobics runners go

junior hockey back to Sherbrooke explained Thursday how very close they had been to a deal for the Hull Olympiques.And they said the group would meet within two weeks to re-evaluate, following the deal\u2019s collapse in recent days.The Faucons, the non-profit group of businessmen that has been trying for 18 months to find a team, said at a hastily- called evening news conference it had been in the running for the Olympiques until a few hours earlier.At 5:40 p.m.Thursday, the group received a fax from lawyers for Wayne Gretzky, who owns the Olympiques, saying Hull had exercised on the last possible day its right of first refusal.That allowed a Hull group to keep the team where it is, by matching the $550,000 offer made by the Faucons on April 13.The Faucons offered $465,000 on January 13, but Gretzky asked for $550,000 in cash, president Roger Fortier revealed, and the Faucons agreed because they thought the Hull franchise was a good one.WERE IN L.A.The Faucons\u2019s vice- president Michael Dion and Martin Bureau were in L.A.April 28 to May 1 and signed a deal April 30 to buy the team.All details were ironed out, and the team would have been Sherbrooke\u2019s if Hull hadn't matched the offer.The Faucons were ready to take possession of all the Olympiques\u2019 players, personnel and equipment.The Faucons spoke with Gretzky three times during what seemed like a succesful negotiating process, said Hebert.Now that the process has ended in disappointment, the group will meet within two weeks to decide what to do next.\u201cWe'll talk about about what will happen to the Faucons, Fortier said.\u201cWe are disappointed but not beaten.\u201d He said group members will re-evaluate everything, including all of their roles on the board.and the group\u2019s overall strategies.Notes supplied by Fortier said the team might switch to a more \u201clong-term\u201d approach to landing a team.So far.the Faucons have tried to buy an existing franchise, rather than waiting for expansion.Fortier said the team had talked with owners of every Quebec Major Junior Hockey League team except Shawinigan.AWAIT LEAGUE PLANS Fortier said in the notes the Faucons are waiting for a document from the league about its future plans.The league considers Sherbrooke a good candidate for a team, the Faucons said.The close call could even make the city\u2019s chances stronger in the future, according to Dion, and it shouldn't hurt efforts to secure a team.\u201cFirst of all, it shows that we\u2019re working hard to get a team,\u201d he said.\u201cThere\u2019s always a question of credibility.People can say, Who are these guys who want to buy a team?\u2019 But after a while you look more serious.\u201d Dion, like the rest of the Faucons, said the upcoming meeting isn\u2019t a signal that the group might give up.\u201cIt\u2019s a very normal way of doing things.You do this, you do that.Then you talk about what errors you made and where you could have done better.\u201d \u201cBut we\u2019ll get a team,\u201d he said, \u201cthat\u2019s for sure.\u201d Wheelchair athletes seek sponsors By Shawn Apel SHERBROOKE \u2014 Five local wheelchair athletes

not suffered from the dreaded sophomore jinx \u2014 it\u2019s gotten better.Last year\u2019s version, although a relatively attractive card, was not as popular with collectors as had been anticipated.So Fleer went back to the drawing board to upgrade its premium quality card set.After seeing the improvements tothe regular Fleer set, I wonder how the Ultra series would benefit from the new high standards at Fleer.The result certainly was a pleasant surprise.The Ultra cards are quite similar to last year\u2019s Topps Stadium Club cards which set a new standard for card quality (as well as high prices).The front features a large bor- derless photo with gold trim on the bottom.The back of the card includes two additional photos, one a portrait shot and another of the player in action.Both sides of the card have a glossy coating to give it a high quality feel and appearance.While the regular cards in the first of two series are quite appealing, the main attraction for many collectors is to find the randomly inserted Tony Gwynn and the Ultra Award Winners cards.There are ten different Tony Gwynn cards commemorating his career achievements and 25 Award Winner cards featuring last season\u2019s Gold Glove, Cy Young, MVP and Rookie of the Year winners.The insert cards are not that difficult to get, although some boxes are more generous than others.There are as few as two and as many as 15 insert cards per box of 36 packs.Collectors wishing to obtain all 35 insert cards must purchase many of these cards separately unless they want to open numerous boxes (which would cost them a few hundred dollars).almost $200, more than three regular 300 card first series.This facination with inserts is year.Inserts in other baseball card packs such as Donruss Diamond Kings, Upper Deck Ted Williams and Home Run Heroes, Topps Gold Cards and Fleer Rookie Sensations, All-Stars and Team Leaders have captured the attention of the collector.In most cases, these small insert sets are nothing new for collectors this \u2018 Premium cards worth the wait worth many times more than the companies\u2019 regular sets.Sportscard Scoop By Dan Heimlich LE Each Tony Gwynn card is worth $5 while the cheapest Award Winner card sells for $4.The most expensive insert card is the Ken Griffey, Jr.Gold Glove winner which costs $13.Other high priced insert cards include two different Cal Ripken, Jr.cards, as well as Jeff Bagwell, Robin Venture and Ryne Sandberg.The regular set features 29 cards that are valued at one dollar or more; the most expensive one is Frank Thomas at $5.50.While the cost of the Fleer Ultra cards is high, with packs selling between three and four dollars, they are moving fast because collectors are impressed with the quali- | ty of the cards and enjoy the challenge of finding one of the highly prized inserts.So far this year, Fleet Ultra has been the most popular baseball card.However, even though we are well into the ba- seb all season, there are still at least four additional sets to be released.These sets are Bowman (produced by Topps), Leaf, O-Pee-Chee Premier and Score Pinnacle.We will soon find out if any of these sets can match the excitement that Fleer Ultra has created.Dan Heimlich is a card connoisseur who lives in Montreal.If you have any questions about cards, please send them to Dan Heimlich, c/o the Record.The value

in a budget season marked by increased deficits and higher taxes.Lévesque brought in a relatively good-news budget in contrast to colleagues in other provinces, especially in financially troubled

per cent that had been expected.In Ontario, the deficit is estimated to hit almost $10 billion this year despite personal income tax hikes.Lévesque attributed his relatively painless plan to tight control over spending in past years, a recovering economy and a well-timed $1.1-billion increase in federal transfers this year.\u201cWe have not raised any of the (income) taxes paid by individuals,\u201d he told the legislature.\u201cThis result is all the more remarkable as we have achieved it while reducing the deficit, despite the economic climate.\u201d GOOD EFFORT Some analysts agreed with Lévesque that the budget is an admirable effort in tough times.\u201cThe Quebec budget comes out very much No.1 on the hit parade compared to other provinces,\u2019\u201d\u2019 said Michael Tinkler of Quebec\u2019s Corporation of Certified Management Accountants.\u201cFor the last eight years since the government has been in power, they have been fairly prudent in terms of their fiscal management and now I think they are reaping the benefits.\u201d Tinkler said Quebec has been much less hard hit by the recession than Ontario.which has experienced big losses of manufacturing jobs.But others said there is nothing to cheer about in a $3.8- billion deficit projection.\u2018\u201cIs it really worthy of compliments if they re slightly less asinine than their neighbors?\u201d\u2019 asked Michel Dé- cary, Quebec vice-president of the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.Lévesque\u2019s projection for last year\u2019s deficit was $700 million less than the actual figure of $4.2 billion at the end of the year.: Décary said he believes the.government's projections this year are equally unrealistic and that the situation would be far worse if not

with $4.2 billion in 1991-92.Helping out the government will be $740 million from its much-anticipated services tax which will come into effect on July 1 at four per cent, half of what it was supposed to be when Quebec first announced the measure more than a year ago.There will also be a new two- per-cent surtax on most business income as well as a tightening of corporate tax laws.These will squeeze another $210 QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Highlights of the 1992-93 Quebec budget tabled in the legislature Thursday by Finance Minister Gérard D.Lévesque: .\u2014Taxes: No increase in personal income

$405 million \u2014 on spending of $40.7 billion.\u2014Projected debt: $55 billion.\u2014Tax threshold: Level at which a family of four with one wage-earner begins paying tax: $26,428: for a single parent with one child under 6: $24,566.\u2014Baby bonus: Stays at $500 for first child and $1,000 for second; increases to $8.000 from $7,500 (paid over five years) for third and subsequent children.Budget highlights: Cut duties to stop cross-border shopping \u2014 stud By John Valorzi TORONTO (CP) \u2014 The federal government should cut duties on goods imported from third countries and promote a cheaper dollar to keep Canadian shoppers at home, says a new study on cross-border shopping.The comprehensive study urges Ottawa to cut tariffs on imports from countries other than the United States so consumer goods from Japan and Europe face Canadian tariffs that are no higher than those in the United States.Task force chairman Alas- dair McKichan, president of the Retail Council of Canada, also looked to a cheaper dollar and factory-outlet-type retai- AND NS © Tea 4 TH 1H) # ling as other ways to help Canadian merchants match U.S.prices.\u2018\u2018One of the single most important positive influences to occur recently has been the downward movement of the Canadian dollar,\u201d McKichan told a news conference Thursday at Ernst and Young, the Bay Street consulting firm that did the study.\u201cJust as the strengthening of the dollar in the late 80s was a prime motivator for cross- border shopping so we believe its recent decline and perhaps further decline will be helpful to that large part of the Canadian economy which services consumer purchasing.\u201d The task force, made up of million into government coffers.; ; ; For the first time in years there were no new sin taxes on cigarettes and booze or a levy on that other easy target, gasoline.But individuals will be hit for a modest $89 million in new or increased fees for various permits, licences and government services.But outweighing the bad news was a series of new measures praised by experts as imaginative and responsible.GET A BREAK These included a tax break for workers and businesses involved in profit-sharing programs, a tax credit for people who have elderly parents living with them and a pledge to invest $135 million in improving the province\u2019s roads.Quebec families also got some breaks.The province will be the only one to continue to pay family allowances-and will index them: to inflation.The tax threshold for families will also be raised \u2014 to $26,500 for a couple with two children \u2014 as will the ceiling on deductible child-care expenses.Finally, there was the increase Quebecers have come to expect in the bucks-for-babies program.The government will still pay $500 for a first child and $1,000 for a second, but third and subsequent children will be worth $8,000, up from $7.500 last year.The $8,000 is retailers, manufacturers, unions, consumer groups and governments, studied the competitiveness of the consumer products industry, hoping to identify where and why there were price gaps between items sold in Canada and the U.S.paid over five years.\u201cThese programs highlight the primordial importance we put on the family in Quebec,\u201d Lévesque said.Usually harsh observers were much more qualified than normal \u2014 sort of praising by faint damning.\u201cAll in all, I can\u2019t say it\u2019s a bad budget,\" said Yves Séguin, a former Liberal revenue minister who left politics several years ago because of differences with Premier Robert Bourassa over the handling of the economy.\u201cIt\u2019s sober, honest, maybe not enough to get the economy going again but still pretty good.\u201cEnthusiasm about it eludes me, but compared to the recent federal and Ontario budgets it\u2019s certainly the best.Or rather, the least bad.\u201d Even though the Liberals don\u2019t have to run for re-election until late 1994, one expert said \"Lévesque\u2019s budget could be seen as trying to soften up the public.\u201cYou'd almost have to wonder if it's a pre-election budget,\u201d said Michael Tinkler of Quebec\u2019s Corporation of Certified Management Accountants.\u201cIt\u2019s certainly not going to hurt in the run-up to a referendum.\u201d But special interest groups were not so happy.Complaining about the services tax, which will piggyback on the federal GST, labor leader Gérald Larose said it was The task force concluded that higher Canadian labor costs are not significant factors in the price differential that sends more than 100,000 Canadians across the border each day looking for bargains.It also disputed the view that the \u2018\u2018most sickening\u201d of all the budgets that Lévesque has tabled.\u201cIt will squash any hope of a recovery that we had,\u201d he said, and referring to the finance minister\u2019s frequent Florida vacations, added: \u2018\u2018Mr.Lévesque cooks up his budget abroad and it shows \u2014 they're made for an unknown land.\u201d Meanwhile, Ghislain Dufour, head of Quebec\u2019s largest employers\u2019 group, liked the services tax but not the new levies on business.\u201cIt\u2019s a good budget for individuals but all the costs are transferred to business.We're paying all the bills.\u201d As interesting as what was in the budget was what wasn\u2019t.There was no mention of ca- : sinos, although the province : has long been considering lega- : lizing them and was expected : to be spurred into action by On- : tario\u2019s announcement

errors.\u201cI didn\u2019t see your discard, partner.The light is so bad.\u201d Today\u2019s hand occurred in a Welsh tournament.Most pairs went down in a major-suit small slam.But one player, who failed in six no-trump, had only himself to blame.Cover the East-West cards.Against six no-trump, West leads the diamond jack.You win and cash the A-Q of hearts, but East discards a low diamond.How do you continue?South\u2019s first two bids described a balanced 23-24 points.He converted to six no-trump just in case the trumps were breaking badly and they had 12 tricks elsewhere \u2014 what should have been a prescient decision.After the bad heart break came to light, the declarer saw that he needed three spade tricks to get home.\u201cIt was late in the evening \u2014 one gets lazy and relies on the spade finesse.\u201d But when the finesse lost and the suit broke 4-1, he went down.However, the contract is guaranteed.At trick four, lead a spade to the ace and a low spade back toward the queen.If the spades are 3-2, you have 12 tricks.And if West has king-fourth of spades, he can be squeezed in the majors.With the actual distribution, how does East defend?If he rises with the spade king, you have three spade tricks.If he ducks his king, you win with the queen and revert to hearts, giving West his trick in the suit.Your 12 tricks are two spades, four hearts, three diamonds and three clubs.© 1982, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE PHILLIP TOUGH TIMES F118 4 ÉTÉ Ds ras Bn you may not be th a #4 4 A Take Try Asters Ell A Tes to figd out your family gtress level, and lgar it.EY
