never try to dissent from that and go make contact with the Iraqis.\u201d A news release issued by Elkas's office after he paid an official visit to the Middle East last April stated: \u2018\u2018Syria and Jordan open a gateway for Quebec to the considerable markets represented by Iraq and Lebanon in the present context of their reconstruction.\u201d But Elkas said the statement

understand why\u2019 Vercheéres bids farewell \u2018By Daniel Sanger VERCHERES (CP) \u2014 As a summer breeze blew.through the open windows of their church Wednesday, residents of this small town said goodbye to 16 friends and relatives killed last week in a devastating road accident.Hundreds of mourners packed St-Francois Xavier church and thousands more outside listened as their priests tried to explain the tragedy.\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make any sense on the human level, it\u2019s impossible to understand why,\u201d said former town priest Pierre St.Mleux.The 16, mostly elderly Ver- chères residents, were returning from a pilgrimage last Friday when their van slammed into a pickup truck and exploded into flames near the village of Lac Bouchette.250 kilometres north of Quebec City.It was one of the worst road accidents in Canadian history.A woman from the neighboring community of Contrecoeur also died, as well as the two men in the pickup.A funeral for the men.Richard Tremblay, 49.and his nephew.Fré- deric, 21.was held in Lac Bou- chette on Wednesday.Two survivors.both residents of this town 50 kilometres east of Montreal, are in hospital with severe burns.The funeral in Verchéres on Wednesday capped five days of mourning by the 5.000 townsfolk, many of whom were related to at least one person who died in the crash.The flags were still at half- mast across from the imposing greystone church as the town's new priest, Pierre Rivard.delivered a moving eulogy.surrounded by the 16 coffins.\u201cLord.the harvest in Ver- chères this year is very good.If you walk our streets

medicare.Prime Minister Kim Campbell said Wednesday in her most definitive statement to date on the issue.The government needs to find $8 billion in cuts over the next five fiscal years to meet Campbell's target of a balanced budget.she acknowledged as her cabinet wrestled with proposed changes to social programs.But she indicated that additional funds won't come from health care user feces.\u201cUser fees for medically necessary services are not really on at all.\u201d Campbell told reporters after the cabinet meeting.No one has been able to agree on the definition of medically necessary services, she admitted.But the only example she mentioned as a possible nonessential service was massage therapy.Campbell has always said she is personally opposed to user fees, but she suggested during her Tory leadership campaign that she might allow provinces to experiment with them.Several provinces, led by Quebec.have been pressing for more control over health care and have been considering a system that would allow user fees.There has been speculation the fees might be imposed on a variety of services, including with Iraq September 1991.Lepine said Wednesday she was misquoted.whle Elkas said he couldn\u2019t have met the Iraqi ministers because they weren't at the convention.Le Devoir reporter Martine Turenne stood by her article, however.saying Lepine clearly told her twice that Elkas had met the two ministers.\u201cPerhaps she was wrong, but she said it.\u201d Turenne said.hospital emergency room visits.Speaking on more general issues, Campbell said a government policy paper outlining an overhaul of social assistance programs \u2014 a study that has been almost a year in the making \u2014 will not be released before the next election.Other ways to deliver the news contained in the paper, such as speeches by Campbell and her ministers, are being considered.The move is likely driven by clectoral strategy.Releasing the full policy paper for discussion would have allowed opposition critics to attack the document.Campbell was anxious to hammer home the message that \u2018our health care system is not in crisis.\u201d But the same was not said about Canada\u2019s unemployment insurance program.Insiders say the government has been considering cuts in Ul benefits for those who refuse to take retraining courses.\u201cThere was a time when income security for people who were unemployed involved tiding people over until the economy bounced back and orders came back into the plants and See CAMPBELL Page 2 OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Taxpayers paid $23,000 for photographs of Barbara McDou- gall to replace outdated pictures in trade missions and embassies shortly before she retired as external affairs minister, reports the Ottawa Citizen.The photographs were taken by a Toronto photographer early this year and 1,500 copies were ordered, the newspaper said in a column.McDougall announced plans to leave politics in March.A federal

McDougall photos cost a royal mint his work of $37,551 \u2014 including $900 for a \u2018character study portrait session.\u201d The bill was cut to $22,977, the paper said.The government rate for ministerial photographs is no more than several hundred dollars for a sitting and 78 cents a copy.One of Hauser\u2019s assistants, who did not want to be named.is quoted as saying the bill was

at his house for about two weeks, so he lets his 15-month- old son play on the porch.\u2018He doesn\u2019t get bitten.and in the spring he did.\u201d Phil Taylor, who studies how human activity affects insects, says such variables as the availability of pools of stagnant water for breeding, temperature.hours of sunshine.humidity and the availability of plant nectar to nourish male mosquitoes also affect the numbers, fice of the Quebec welfare minister.who is responsible for children\u2019s affairs.The case in now before the Supreme Court of Canada.Judge Ruffo told the conference goers it

usually more sensitive than adults because their skin and tissues are very soft.Bites on the face tend to swell more than bites on the fingers or feet.But bites on the extremities will itch more because there is less room for the skin to expand.Ÿ Andrée Ruffo.If I don\u2019t about what I know, who will?2 alk As well.old bites can start itching again when vou get a new bite.That's because the mosquito saliva can travel through your blood to an old bite site.which is still sensitive to the proteins and anticoagulant.There's not much you can do.to stop the itch, Ham Pong says.He recommends a sedative antihistamine like Bena- dryl.Cortisone creams may help.too.as does old-fashioned camphor.Anderson says if the current dry spell continues.we can expect the mosquito numbers to drop even

another professor.Fabrikant was questioning former dean Srikanta Swamy in Quebec Superior Court about a meeting the two men had in the winter of 1988.Swamy recalled Fabrikant\u2019s than two per cent

three Liberal prime ministers \u2014 Louis St.Laurent in 1957 and Pierre Trudeau in 1979 and John Turner in 1984 \u2014 were all defeated when income growth fell below two per cent.The analysis excludes the elections in 1958, 1963 and 1980 involving minority governments that had been in office for less than a year.That\u2019s because the government hadn\u2019t been in office long enough to be given credit or blame for the economy, said DRI-McGraw Hill.The Liberals won at least a minority government in the elections of 1953, 1965, 1968, 1972 and 1974 when incomes had risen by more two per cent in the previous year.John Diefenbaker won the most seats but not a majority in the 1962 election when incomes had risen by more than six per cent, but the Liberals under Lester Pearson gained power with support from the other parties.And Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney was given a second term in almost five per cent.DRI said Campbell's challenge will be to convince voters that her government will really be different than Brian Mulroney's administration that has left the country with 11 per cent unemployment.\u2018\u201cIf it works, it will be a remarkable political achievement.\u201d The report argues that winning an election is complicated, but a key factor is clearly the health of the economy.That\u2019s also the case in the United States.Ce \u201cFormer president George Bush learned the hard way that \u2018it\u2019s the economy, stupid,\u2019 \u2019said DRI, quoting a catch phrase from the 1992 presidential election.\u2018*And a look at the voting patterns of Canadians in the postwar era confirms the strong linkage between economic performance and electoral suec- cess.\u201d DRI said the Tories may get credit for some economic achievements, such as vitural- ly wiping out inflation.being impoverished by health care costs.We can do that.But it requires us to be hardheaded.\u201d That hard-headedness will be needed to maintain Canada\u2019s social safety net while honoring a promise to cut the deficit.\u201cI\u2019m not saying it\u2019s easy.I'm not going toreach into a hat and pull out a rabbit.It\u2019s not that easy.of the

example of a typical small town in Quebec partly because the owner of Maple Crescent, dairy farmer Warren Grapes, is a member of the radio show's farm panel and can be heard every Tuesday.Questions raised during the broadcast will include Is rural Quebec dying?, What are the choices facing young people in small rural towns?, and What are the ups and downs of living in a small community?.The show will also feature interviews with young people growing up in Sawyerville and older people who are making a contribution to society, Grapes said listeners will also find out about the history of Sawyerville, meet major producers of agricultural products in the area and enjoy music provided by local talent.The public is invited to attend the live broadcast at 170 Grapes Rd.or tune in to Radio Noon on Friday between 12-2 on FM 91.7 or AM 940.Those attending in person are asked to bring their own chairs.\u201cI don\u2019t agree with the decision.\u201d Sévigny said in a telephone interview.Tardif was also singled out for failing to sign the appropriate \u201ccertificate of available credit\u201d required for some expe- ditures.He could not be reached for comment.\u201cThe

Phillips, the former husband of Princess Anne.has lost his court action to claim $9.518 from an equestrian event volunteer.Phillips had claimed that Walter Batchelor had personally guaranteed he would pay Phillips for his work at the Bro- mont International Equestrian Event.Phillips, a former Olympic gold medallist in equestrian events, agreed to design the course for the Bromont event and to attend as a VIP.He was to be paid $12,500 plus travel costs for his trouble.However, to date he has been paid only $5,000.Batchelor maintained that he was acting on behalf of the event's organizers when he .sent Phillips a memo stating that he would meet him at the airport with a $10,000 cheque.Quebec Court Judge Jean- Claude Gagnon agreed.The judge noted that after Batchelor did not meet him at the airport and there was no cheque, Phillips did not complain to Batchelor but to another member of the organizing committee.When the $5,000 cheque he was then given bounced, it was the chairman of the committee, not Batchelor, who accompanied Phillips to the bank and gave his own personal guarantee so that the cheque could be honored.\u201cEverything leads us to believe that (Batchelor) was but the messenger and that the people involved in this case knew that, or should have known,\u2019 > Judge Gagnon said in an 18-page ruling made public Tuesday.\u2018Should have Mark Phillips.known\u2019

will be the usual array of competitions in grooming, showmanship and cattle judging.But the youngsters can also vie for top spot in competitions for public speaking, photography, art, literature and marketing, to name a few.There will even be a trivia contest, but with a catch: all questions will be about the beef industry.Most entrants come for the fun of it, including 17-year-old PHOTOS/GRANT

frames short of a roll Sorry, Barbara, the bare-shouldered look has been done to death.All we want to do is have you look vital.Turn your head this way.CLICK! Toronto photographer Tony Hauser\u2019s $23,000 photo-shoot may have succeeded in making soon-to-be retired Minister of External Affairs Barbara McDougall look vital \u2014 whatever that means \u2014 but at least it didn\u2019t cost $37,551.That\u2019s how much Hauser had originally quoted in his original estimate, including $900 for a \u201ccharacter study portrait session.\u201d There must be more to this story than what has been reported so far, and to be fair, she has not yet been quoted on the matter.But the facts as they stand make it look as if McDougall is a couple of frames short of a roll.First of all, there is the question of why she didn\u2019t use the services of a federal photographer, who would have charged about $1200 for the same job.Perhaps she or her staff were worried they might not \u201cget what they paid for\u201d by hiring some run-of-the mill shutter jockey.God forbid the word should spread that McDougall is (gasp!) an older woman and therefore in need of special photographic handling.Or was it that McDougall felt it necessary to have her lovely Northern Trough- feeder plumage captured in full flight as she swooped down to scoop another bucketful from the bottomless public coffers?Let\u2019s hope Hauser used high-speed film for that one.Even more galling is the fact that McDougall\u2019s quick resignation meant the portrait most likely never even made it to the trade missions and embassies for which it was intended.Whichever way this story develops, let's hope the process of due public agitation fixes its sights on McDougall\u2019s disregard for the taxpayers\u2019 money, and demand that it be paid back \u2014 in full.+» - IAN MACDONALD Lawyer wants AIDS case thrown out of court LONDON, Ont.(CP) \u2014 A lawyer whose client died before a judge could deliver a verdict on charges he infected three women with the virus believed to cause AIDS says he hopes to have the case dismissed.\u201cMy tentative view is that the courtis notin any position to give a ruling,\u201d said Fletcher Dawson, who represented Charles Ssenyonga, a former London shopkeeper.The 36-year-old died in hospital Tuesday, two weeks before a verdict was due in his case.He had pleaded not guilty to three counts of criminal negligence causing bodily harm.An autopsy was conducted Wednesday but Sse- nyonga\u2019s cause of death was not released.Dawson, who is on holidays this week, said he heard of his client\u2019s death through the newspapers Wednesday and found the news \u2018\u2018quite a shock.\u201d His office is trying to arrange a meeting with Crown attorneys and Justice Dougald McDermid as early as Monday to decide how to proceed, Dawson said.Ssenyonga tested positive for HIV in 1989 and \" continued to have unprotected sex, court heard during the three-month trial.Crown witnesses testified he had been told by doctors, nurses and former partners to wear a condom, although Sse- nyonga disputed this.Three women he had sex with between 1989 and 1991 have tested positive for HIV.\u201cWith respect to the trial, it may be unfortunate a judgment can\u2019t be rendered,\u2019\u2019 said Dawson, adding he expected the ruling to set a precedent about the legal relationship between HIV and AIDS.A scientist testified at the trial that HIV only causes harm if a person\u2019s immune system is already weakened.Dawson argued it could not be proved that Ssenyonga gave the women AIDS.The Crown had hoped a ruling would send a message about responsibility in sexual practice.One of the women who accused Ssenyonga of infecting her said she hopes the judge will still make some comment about the case.\u201cI went through hell for nothing,\u201d said the woman, whose identity is protected by the courts.She said throughout the trial she told herself her ordeal would help others.\u2018\u201c\u2018How is this going to help other people now?\u201d\u2019 Dawson also argued in court that Ssenyonga suffered from a psychological condition known as post-traumatic stress disorder which led him to block out his HIV-positive condition.He said the condition was sparked by the horrors Ssenyonga witnessed as a child in war-torn Uganda.A Crown appeal of Ssenyonga\u2019s acquittal on separate charges of aggravated sexual assault could go forward, but Dawson said the appeal has become moot.Letters Dear Editor.Prime Minister Kim Campbell has a chance this month to correct one of the most serious and unpopular errors of the Mulroney government.Campbell should remove the first tax on reading ever imposed in Canada.Millions of Canadians have said so.The GST is the first federal tax ever imposed on books, magazines or newspapers.During the Conservative leadership campaign, Campbell repeatedly said that education is essential to Canada's future.Last fall, the federal government released a white paper stating that literacy and education will be the keys to maintaining our economy and standard of living in the 1990s.Is a 7 per cent tax on reading material worth endangering our country\u2019s future prosperity?Our international competitors understand the importance of reading.That\u2019s why most refuse to tax reading.In fact, Canada OTHE CINCINNATI RT.1992.THIS UNITS EQUIPPED WITH ALL THE LATEST.has by far the highest taxes on reading material in the Group of Seven industrial nations.Most industrialized countries \u2014 including the U.S.the U.K., Mexico.Ireland.Australia and Switzerland \u2014 do not tax reading at all.We understand the government\u2019s need to collect tax revenue.There is clear evidence.however, that the GST has reduced reading in Canada and threatens our future prosperity.In October 1990 \u2014 before the GST was passed by Parliament \u2014 and again in December 1991.then prime minister Mulroney promised to review the GST on reading after a year, and to remove it if it had reduced reading.Reading material was the only commodity he singled out as deserving such a review.Removing the GST from reading would also solve the expensive headache the tax has become for the government.The Department of Revenue has found it impossible to collect GST on magazine subscriptions mailed from outside Canada.After two years of increasingly expensive efforts by Revenue, 72 per cent of U.S.magazines refuse to collect the GST from Canadian subscribers.This means a 7 per cent price advantage to American publishers over Canadians.and an absurd wasted expense to the government.Literally hundreds of thousands of Canadians.including many of your readers, have written to the former prime minister and every MP to oppose the tax on reading.Both opposition parties have pledged to remove the GST from reading if they form the next government.Kim Campbell can show a commitment to Canadian education, literacy.productivity and culture by zero-rating books, ma- \u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014mthtmes EVEN A CHILD'S BOOSTER SEAT.Ashes to ashes and dust to dust.Fortunately for forensic pathologists and history buffs, it doesn\u2019t always work that way.Bodies that have been buried for years \u2014 even centuries \u2014 can yield a wealth of information about the demise of their owners.Rotting flesh, bones and decaying clothing all have their tales to tell.Exhumations, like that of 15- year-old Tammy Homolka in St.Catharines, Ont., earlier this week, are \u2018\u2018very common,\u201d says Dr.John Hillsdon-Smith, Ontario\u2019s chief pathologist.Three to six bodies are unearthed in Ontario each year.Hillsdon-Smith was responsible for re-examining the remains of nine-year-old Christine Jessop of Queensville, Ont., which were exhumed several years after she was buried in 1985.REVEALING Jessop\u2019s second autopsy, conducted at the request of defence lawyers representing Guy Paul Morin, revealed a number of relevant points missed during the first examination, including an attempt to cut off her head, a large cut to her breast bone and numerous cuts to her spine.CP News Analysis By Gloria Galloway is appealing.But it was an exhumation Hill- sdon-Smith conducted many years ago in Rhodesia that convinced him of the value of the second look.The tropical African climate and lack of embalming quickly reduced bodies to skeletons, he says, and \u2018\u2018after the 12th exhumation I said I wasn\u2019t going to do any more.\u201d But when persuaded to do a 13th, \u2018we dug this old man up and he had an axe behind his ear.\u201d SEVERAL CASES There have been several Canadian cases in which exhumations have played a major role.Two years ago, the bodies of Leonard Bernard and John Gar- debois were removed from their graves in the permafrost near Aklavik, N.W.T.The two had died in 1975 after a fight and although the RCMP ru- Morin was convicted of first- degree murder last summer and Campbell should remove tax on reading gazines and newspapers under the GST.We are asking Canadians to write again to Prime Minister Campbell.Remind her that this tax continues to damage Canadian education and culture.and continues to threaten our future prosperitv.Canada should follow the lead of the many countries which have removed taxes from reading as an investment in their future.JACQUELINE HUSHION Chairperson Don't Tax Reading Coalition Toronto, Ont.Apology to Bob Halsall and the Yankees Mr.lan MacDonald The Record Dear Sir.1 would like to offer a public apology

DEPENDS.Dr.Malcolm MacAulay, a pathologist in Halifax, said the amount of information that can be obtained during an exhumation depends largely on the body's condition.Just last week, the bodies of two children were dug up in Nova Sco- tia to determine how they died, said MacAulay.While refusing to comment on that case, he said exhumations in the Maritimes have unearthed some compelling evidence.In one instance \u2018\u2018there was a bullet that was not found previously, but that\u2019s very rare.\u201d James Starrs, a university professor in Washington D.C., has a lot of skeltons

Clark, opened the northwestern United States to the Pacific.Lewis died of gunshot wounds in 1809 and Starrs wants to determine whether his death was a murder or a suicide.\u2018\u201c\u201cWe\u2019ve already done ground- penetrating radar\u2019 in the area where Lewis's body lies in Tennessee, said Starrs.\u201cWe found there was a void or a vault under the monument that would indicate well-preserved remains.\u2019 The George Washington University professor has dug up bodies from one side of the continent to the other but insisted his exhumation activity is \u2018\u2018not goulish.\u201d Unlike bodies below ground, which are at the mercy of \u2018\u2018subterranean animals and insects,\u201d Starrs said \u2018\u2018the remains and skulls I have in my closet are being preserved for all eternity.\u201d By Larry Ryckman MOSCOW (AP) \u2014 Gangland- style gun battles that killed seven\u2019 people this week have increased fears about the heavily armed and increasingly brazen criminal groups that have flourished since the 1991 Soviet collapse.Police link many of the attacks to extortion or turf battles between rival criminal gangs seeking to carve up their share of the Russian capital.The alarming rise in Russia\u2019s crime rate recalls a dark joke from the late 1980s that the second stage of the Soviet Union\u2019s perestroika, or restructuring, would be perestrelka, or shootouts.\u201cOf course I'm concerned about crime,\u201d pensioner Vladlen Voschenko said Wednesday, speaking near the scene of a bloody attack at a luxury car dealer- ship that leit tour dead.\u2018\u2019Une can\u2019t walk the streets anymore.\" MUGGERS Voschenko said he is more worried about muggers than the gangsters blamed in that incident because \u2018these bandits are firing at each other.\u201d Interior Minister Viktor Yerin agreed, and rejected suggestions that Moscow is beginning to resemble gangland Chicago in the 1920s.\u2018I've never been to Chicago and I find it hard to make comparisons,\u201d\u2019 Yerin said.This week\u2019s incidents are fuda- mentally different from crimes in other countries because they were the \u2018\u2018typical settling of accounts between crime groups\u2019 and posed little threat to law- abiding citizens, he said.There are about 3.000 organized criminal gangs in Russia.and about 50 associations formed by Russia plagued by alarming rise in several groups, he said.Crimes involving weapons more than tripled in Russia in the first half of this year, rising to 12,200 cases, Yerin said Tuesday.He said there had been a total of 1.3 million erimes reported in that time.OPENED FIRE News reports said atleast seven men armed with pistols and assault rifles stormed into the auto showroom on a busy street Monday and opened fire.The dealership, an Italian- Russian venture that sells Alfa- Romeos and Jeeps, is one of the many luxury car salons that cater to Russia\u2019s high-rolling new rich.Newspaper reports suggested the attack was prompted by the company\u2019s refusal to keep paying thousands of dollars in protection money to a criminal gang.The reports said two security crime rate guards and one attacker died at the scene and another attacker died Tuesday at a Moscow hospital.There were no customers in the showroom at the time.Monday\u2019s bold attack was followed Tuesday by another shootout.this time at a downtown restaurant reputed to be a gangster hangout.Three people were killed in the hail of submachine-gun fire.Police arrived to find \u2018\u2018a sea of blood and spent cartridges,\u2019 the newspaper Kuranty reported.They arrested the three alleged attackers shortly afterward.Yerin was optimistic that organized crime would be controlled.\u20181.for one, am sure that we will win this battle,\u201d he said.\u201cI am not suggesting that we will stamp out all crime.So far, no country in the world has managed to liquidate crime altogether.\u201d \u2014\u2014 er em ee

TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Northern Telecom is cutting 5,200 jobs \u2014 2,000 of them in Canada \u2014 after announcing a second-quarter loss of more than $1 billion US on Wednesday.Jean Monty, president and chief executive officer of the internationally known telecommunications equipment manufacturer, said 2,000 jobs will also be lost in the United States with the remainder coming from its European division.The cuts represent about nine per cent of the company\u2019s worldwide payroll of 60,000.Some facilities will be closed under the $282 million restructuring program expected to be complete by the end of next year.Monty refused to say which parts of the company will be affected.Northern Telecom.based in Mississauga, Ont.employs 22.000 people in Canada.It has more than 50 manufacturing plants around the world.Prior to Wednesday's statement, the company had already decided to rationalize two of its plants \u2014 one near Brampton, Ont., the other in North Carolina.The second-quarter loss of $1.03 billion.including $940 million in special charges, compares with a profit of $69 million tor the same period last vear, The company made the announcement before the markets opened.Investors responded quickly on the Toronto Stock Exchange.sending Northern Telecom shares down $2.38 apiece to $29.13 before noon.BCE Inc.Northern Tele- com's corporate parent, lost 63 cents

Northern Tele- com Ltd.has been held up as a Canadian success story, a profitable high-tech titan that was a major industry player around the world \u2014 not just in Canada.But now the company, in the words of analyst Ian Angus, has \u2018\u2018a mess to clean up.\u201d On Wednesday, Northern Te- lecom announced it would eut its worldwide staff by 5,200, closing an unspecified number of plants and launching a new software project.Restructuring costs brought its loss for the second quarter to $1 billion US.What happened?Analysts say several deve- Farmers ST-APOLLINAIRE (CP) \u2014 Every summer, hundreds of Mexican farm workers are hi- .red by Quebec farmers despite the province\u2019s high unemployment rate.Employers say they are vital to the rural economy because Quebec workers are unwilling or unable to do much of the work.\u201cIf we always hire Mexicans it\u2019s not because we prefer them to Quebecers,\u201d said Guy Boulet, co-owner of a large horticultural firm at St-Apollinaire, near Quebec City.\u2018\u2018It\u2019s just because no Quebecer wants to, or can, replace them.\u201d The 10 Mexicans that Boulet hires work nine hours a day, seven days a week, for at least two or three months out of the six-month season.Some have complained to Boulet that paying Mexicans is a loss for the local economy, but he says the foreigners are indispensable to his farm.\u2018\u2018They\u2019re the only ones who carry out repetitive manual lopments came together at Northern Telecom: \u2014Tougher competition.The company grabbed a dominant position in the rapidly growing telecommunications industry in the 1970s and \u201980s, says Angus, of Angus Telemanage- ment Group in nearby Ajax, Ont.But now the company is facing increased competition from its major U.S.rival, AT and T.\u2014Falling demand.The recession in North America and Europe slashed phone companies\u2019 revenues, reducing demand for equipment, Tim Crocker, a vice-president with Dominion Bond Rating Service, said from Montreal.Demand for Northern's main product line, digital switches.is also slowing as more phone companies adopt the technology.\u2014Problems with software for its switches upset customers.\u201cNorthern has failed to do the job of keeping its software current.\u2019 Angus said.Several analysts also said former chief executive Paul Stern contributed to the company's troubles by allowing relations with customers to deteriorate and by hurting staff morale.However.he did give Northern Telecom a global outlook.said Angus.The company\u2019s troubles are likely to have an impact on the Canadian economy.Northern Telecom employs 22.000 people in Canada and has about 20 plants across the country.About 2.000 oi the jobs will be gone in the restructuring.Northern Telecom is one of the country\u2019s biggest developers of new technology.It spent more than $1 billion on res search and development last year, much of it in Canada.Analysts agree that life will no longer be as easy for Northern Telecom.\u201cNorthern's going to have to come to grips with the fact that this is a business for global giants.\u201d Angus said, \u2018\u2018and while Northern is large in Canadian terms, it\u2019snot AT and T or (France-based) Alcatel.\u201d Crocker said he doesn\u2019t expect Northern Telecom to grow as quickly as it has in the past.Still.he said, \u2018\u2019There\u2019s a tremendous amount of possibli- ties for expansion.\u2019 say Mexican workers vital tasks for hours, days and months without quitting or complaining.\u201d said Boulet, who has 100 workers on his farm.\u2018\u2018Like weeding, for example.\u201d There are 725 Mexican workers in Quebec this summer, compared with 11.000 in Ontario.DEFENDS PRACTICE Helene Varvaressos.of the Quebec agricultural producers\u2019 union, defends the practice.\u2018\u2018\u2019This program must absolutely be maintained at all costs, even during a period of high unemployment,\u201d said Varva- ressos.\u201cWe know that workers from here, with some exceptions, don\u2019t want anything to do with these jobs.Show me any Que- becer who is ready and willing to work in farming and I'll get him a job right away.\u201d A federal official responsible for the Canada-Mexico program said Canada is going to Montreal refinery By Allan Swifi MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Montreal\u2019s dwindling petrochemical industry suffered another blow Wednesday with the announcement that a plant in the depressed east end will close in October throwing 125

specialty publications on such subjects as wine appreciation and humanism.With that many magazines being published, does the industry really need government protection against large American rivals like People, Time and Sports Illustrated?Yes, say Canadian publishers.They cite modest profit margins, lousy economies of bury, Conn., owns the plant slated for closure and is also part owner of Petromont.The Union Carbide plant, which produces ethylene and glycol, uses about a third of the ethylene produced by Petro- mont, or about 65,000 tonnes a year.Petromont president Marcel Emond said his plant, adjacent to the Union Carbide plant, will absorb this ethylene production through the expansion.Emond bragged that once the expansion is complete by mid-1994, it will be the largest scale

workers form an elite team and give stability to the enterprise.\u2018When things are growing.we can't put the work off till tomorrow or next week.We tried Quebecers in this type of work and practically nobody can stick with it.And I'm the first to understand that they (Quebecers) want their Sun- davs off.\u201d Gosselin notes that agriculture in other provinces and the United States

22.1993 Living Pecord Sunscreen cancer threat dispute By Phillip Day OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The sun causes cancer.That's the message some leading Canadian dermatologists want people to remember this summer.They say the news this week.from researchers at Oxford University in England.that some sunscreen ingredients may have the potential to damage skin cells shouldn't stop people from using sunscreens.\u201cWe don\u2019t think that the work that was done in Oxford is relevant at the moment, although we are looking into it.\u201d says Dr.Bill Danby, chairman of the dermatology department at Queen's University in Kingston, Ont.\u2018The fact is, sun causes cancer.If, and it\u2019s a real unlikely \u201cif\u201d at the moment, any of these (other) things cause cancer, then we don\u2019t know how much quantity-wise the sun (damage) versus the chemical (damage) is.\u2018WHO'S TO WORRY?\u201cIf the sun and the chemical are equal.so that it cancels out to zero, then who\u2019s to worry?\u201cIf, on the other hand, the risk of the chemical is higher than the risk of the sun then obviously we shouldn\u2019t be using the chemical.The problem is, no one has done any research on that.\u201d No one has ever done a study A short break may help prevent nearsightedness proving that sunscreens prevent skin cancer, either.But Danby says there\u2019s a good reason for that.\u201cYou can\u2019t borrow a hundred kids and say to the mothers that half of them are going to get sunscreen and half of them are not and we're going to see how many get cancer.\u201d The Oxford researchers found that a sunscreen ingredient called Padimate-O could cause damage to the genetic material known as DNA and produce mutations in cells.ONLY A FEW That ingredient used to be common but now is found in only a few sunscreens.It was eliminated by most manufacturers because it caused allergic reactions in some people.The Oxford research team also tested a compound known as dibenzoylmethane.One of the most popular ingredients in sunscreens today \u2014 Parsol 1789 \u2014 is derived from diben- zoylmethane.They found that dibenzoyl- methane reacted in a similar way to Padimate-O, although to a lesser extent.\u2018\u2018Our results suggest that some sunscreens could, while preventing sunburn, contribute to sunlight-related cancers,\u201d the researchers said in an article published in June in the journal of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies.Because they tested diben- zoylmethane.and not Parsol itself.they couldn\u2019t say whether Parsol could trigger the same results.BENEFITS Dr.David McLean, a dermatologist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, says the benefits of sunscreens still outweigh any potential harm.He says people working in the field have known for a while that some ingredients in sunscreens could produce unwanted reactions.But he sees the Oxford research as just a small piece of the puzzle.\u201c\u201cWe should view it as 10 steps forward, one step back \u2014 net gain nine.The sunscreens we currently have on the market are still better than no sunscreen at all.if that\u2019s the alternative.\u201d Mclean says Padimate-O is \u2018\u2018essentially an obsolete ingredient.\u2018Perhaps the public ought to be aware that Padimate-O is perhaps not ideal as an active ingredient.But most manufacturers are changing out of that one.\u201d PARSOL 1789 And he says the evidence of the good done by Parsol 1789 far outweighs the possible problems.\u201cI personally use a sunscreen that contains Parsol 1789 and so do my children.I truly VDT or not VDT: O By Miles Socha Kitchener-Waterloo Record WATERLOO, Ont.(CP) \u2014 If you work at a video display terminal, experts suggest taking a five-minute break every hour to look out the window.This simple tactic may help- prevent nearsightedness \u2014 a condition which has been surging in adults and is being blamed largely on widespread VDT use.\u2018\u2018Practitioners are seeing people get more myopic in their 20s and 30s,\u201d says George Woo, a University of Waterloo optometry professor.In the past, optometrists rarely saw myopia increase after the \u2018early \u201820s, säÿs Woo, **sd' some of us believe that this is environmentally induced.\u201d A recent U.S.survey indicated 10 million Americans have believe it is a net positive effect.Al is not simple.But.on balance.people who do know about these things and all the negative effects are still using sunscreens.\u201d Danby says evidence from years of sunscreen use shows the products are effective in preventing cancer and there is no proof they cause it.\"We have not seen people coming in who used Padimate- O who have been developing cancer.All we've seen are people developing cancers who didn\u2019t use sunscreens.\u201cOur best advice continues to be to wear hats.wear long sleeves and continue to use sunscreens when you can\u2019t avoid going out in the sun because there's no alternative.\u201d Dr.David Gratton.of the Canadian Dermatology Association, says sunscreens should be a last resort.when exposure to the sun at its most damaging can\u2019t be avoided.\u2018\u2018Although we tell people they should use sunscreens, and I as a dermatologist tell people every day they should use sunscreens, we're trying to get people to change the way they view sun, to change their behavior.\u201cIt\u2019s better to play golf early in the morning and wear a hat than to slop on sunscreen and play at noon or at two.d Angioplasty or atherectomy?Heart treatment goes under the microscope BOSTON (AP) \u2014 Tiny cutters used to clean out clogged heart arteries work no better \u2014 and may be more dangerous \u2014 than angioplasty.the older standard approach.new research concludes.The findings.which researchers describe as a surprise, also\u2019 represent a unique step in testing medical devices.They say the studies are the first to directly compare an old form of technology with a new method.just as medicines are compared.In this case.two teams compared angioplasty with the newer method.directional coronary atherectomy \u2014 an approach that uses a rotating cutter on the end of a catheter to shave away artery blockages.Atherectomy\u2019s apparent advantage was its ability to remove the plaque that clogs arteries.Angioplasty uses a tiny balloon to squeeze the plaque, compressing it against the sides of the artery.While angioplasty is fast and relatively simple, the arteries clog up again in one-third to one-half of cases.This problem, which doctors call restenosis, is its major drawback.Two studies, one directed by Dr.Allan Adelman of Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto.reached similar conclusions.In the larger of the studies.directed by Dr.Eric Topol of the Cleveland Clinic Foundation, doctors randomly assigned 1,012 patients at 35 hospitals in the United States and Europe to have atherectomy or angioplasty.Among the findings, published in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine: e The need for repeat procedures was virtually identical \u2014 28 per cent among the atherectomy patients and 30 per cent for those getting angioplasty.e Nine per cent of those getting atherectomy died or suffered heart attacks within six months of their treatment, compared with five per cent of those getting angioplasty.e Average total hospital bills for atherectomy patients were about $22,400 Cdn, compared with $19,500 among angioplasty recipients.The researchers concluded \u2018\u2018balloon angioplasty is still the preferred approach overall.\u201d VDT-related complaints.AFFECTED CANADIANS The Canadian Association of Optometrists extrapolates from the U.S.survey that one million Canadians have eye problems: linked to .computer use.The American survey found vision trouble is the biggest physical complaint related to vision VDTs \u2014 outpacing repetitive strain injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome.VDT-related eye trouble included strain, fatigue, blurred vision, sensitivity to light, double vision.and after: images IaH ii BV \u201cYou're staririg-at this\u2018 bof for hours a

described herself as joyless, useless, friendless, hopeless and \"sick and tired of being sick and tired.\" You correctly replied that she sounded clinically depressed and emphasized, \"There is help for you, but you must seek it.\" Depression is a serious, disabling medical disorder that affects approximately one in eight adults.This means about 11 million people each year.Clinical depression is not the \"blues,\" nor is it due to personal weakness or moral defect.It exists in men and women of all racial, ethnic, educational, social, income and age groups.Yet today, only one out of three people with depression is diagnosed and treated correctly.This is a tragedy, because once identified, depression almost always can be treated successfully, either with medication, psychotherapy or Ann Landers a combination of both.Most people recover within a few months.The U.S.Public Health Service's Agency for Health Care Policy and Research recently released new clinical guidelines on depression developed by a panel of experts to help physicians and health care workers detect, diagnose and treat major depression in their patients.These guidelines include a brochure, developed to help people with depression as well as family and - friends, that explains symptoms and treatment options.Stanbridge East W.1.present awards to Butler School On June 23 during the closing exercises at Butler

will repeat the Ann Landers formula for women who are in unhappy marriages.Ask yourself this question: Are you better off with him or without him?Apparently in your case, you were better off with him, but this is not true in every instance.No woman should stay with a man who is involved with drugs or who is physically violent.She could end up dead.On the other hand, a woman who has no marketable skills and four children under 10 should not rush to divorce court because her husband doesn't pay enough attention to her.rold Boyce.She attended school at the Sutton Academy.and became a member of the Olivet Baptist Church.On March 10th, 1924.she was united in marriage with Andrew Percy Rumsby of Iron Hill.They took up residence in Sutton Village.and it was there that two sons were born to them.Eric Henry (1930) and Harold Marshall (1934).Mrs.Fuller passed away in 1921, but Lewis lived on until 1942.a much-loved grandpa to the two bovs.Percy did not enjoy good health in his latter

myopic.\u201d Although that type of nearsightedness is temporary, Woo says sustained close work can weaken the eyes\u2019 refractive power.The muscles in the eye iB bn do Bch became weakermand spasm when they're held in one spot for too long.INTENSITY Andrew DrewczynskKi, a project scientist in ergonomics at the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety in Hamilton, says there is nothing inherently dangerous about VDTs.The hazards, he says, are caused by the intensity and duration of the work \u2014 not any special quality of the computer screenitself: \u201cIt\u2019s the intensity of the visual task.\u201d Ergonomic factors can contribute to eyestrain.Drewezynski says computer screens are often poorly placed on unsuitable old office furniture.For example, looking up at a VDT screen increases eye and neck strain and general fatigue.The ideal viewing angle is 10 to 20 degrees below eye level.Optometrist Linda Daniar of Waterloo says almost one-third of her patients complain of VDT-related problems.Most commonly, they have difficulty focusing on distant objects, especially at the end of a work shift.EYE EXERCISES Daniar suggests a two-week regimen of eye exercises before opting for prescription lenses.11 Was li Ju1y Of that year that she decided to abandon housekeeping and move to Knowlton.where she became a resident at Knowlbanks.To celebrate her birthday.a surprise party was organized on June 13.in the well- appointed facilities of the Sutton Branch of the Canadian Legion.A large number of guests came to express good wishes, including some who were also 90.or soon to be.A most welcome member of that group was Jack Shepard.a prominent citizen of the town, and longtime friend to many, including the Rumsbys.Jack has been a resident of the Sutton Foyer for some years, and he would not have been able to be among the guests that day.had it not been for the special efforts of his daughter Nancy (Mrs.John Douglas) and ptometrists see problems Once a day, patients should alternate their focus every three seconds between near and far objects \u2014 say a word on a sheet of letterhead and a li- cence-plate number at least six metres away \u2014 about 20 times.Thereafter, do the exereise once a week.Even periodically looking out the window at distant objects for a few minutes exercises the focusing mechanisms inthe eyes so they don\u2019t spasm, Woo says.Glare on computer screens is another frequent complaint, Daniar says.\u2018\u2018People don\u2019t have the ability to shut down lights for their working area.\u201d She suggests taping file folders around the computer screen to cut the amount of light falling on it.Another Waterloo optometrist, Bruce Pierce, says bifocal wearers can benefit from having a pair of single-vision lenses specifically for computer work.Otherwise, they have to tilt their heads back to see properly.Some people with normal vision say tinted glasses help when doing computer work.Woo says there\u2019s no

However, East produced the queen.It would have been nice to duck two rounds of hearts, trying to cater to a 5- 3 division with East\u2019s having the diamond ace.But South realized that if he did that and the defenders switched to spades, he would almost certainly be defeated, losing one diamond, two hearts, and at least two spades.So South won the first trick and immediately dislodged the diamond ace.That put East on lead, and the defenders took their three heart tricks.Then they exited in spades.South cashed his diamonds, learning that West had begun with a singleton.Then he cashed dummy\u2019s club ace, played a club to his king and finessed dummy\u2019s club 10 successfully to land the contract.\u201cNice guess,\u201d said North.\u201cNot really,\u201d replied South.\u201cI knew West had started with four hearts and one diamond.If he had five spades and three clubs, surely he would have led a spade, not a heart.He must have had four cards in each black suit and an initial 4-4-1-4 distribution.Hence my play in clubs.\u201d © 1983, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.Thursday, July 22, 1993 Your Birthday Thursday, July 22, 1993 A number of chances within your field of endeavor could work out advantageously for you in the year ahead.Each event might help you move up the ladder a few steps ahead of others.CANCER (June 21-July 22) If you don't have active outlets to occupy you mentally and physically today, you might get very restless and disorganized.This could turn a productive day into a ho-hum experience.Trying to patch up a broken romance?The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you to understand what to do to make the relationship work.Mail $2 and a tong, self- addressed, stamped envelope to Matchmaker, P.O.Box 4465, New York, N.Y.10163.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Because of your intense desires regarding things you want for yourself and loved ones, you will be well motivated today to figure out ways to get them.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Substantial steps can be made today to advance your self- interests, provided you do not delegate assignments to others you're better able to take of yourself.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) Keep an eye peeled for bargains today, because your commercial instincts are well tuned and, if anyone is going to find a good deal, it is likely to beyou _____ 79th annual rall SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) You have the ability today to arouse an interest in and gain the support of others for things that are of personal importance to you.You'll know how to use this gift constructively.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) Others might think and talk about ways to improve therr fot in hfe, but you'll be the guy/gal who will actually do something about it today.Way to go!

Becord Jays back in first Scouts eye women\u2019s soccer tourney CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Al Leiter pitched five shutout innings in relief of injured starter Jack Morris, and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 4-1 Wednesday night to reclaim first place in the American League East.Toronto won for only the fifth time in its last 18 games, and moved one-half game ahead of Baltimore.Chicago, leading the AL West, lost for just the third time in 12 games.Morris left the game after two innings because of an injury to his left hand.Ellis Burks opened the second with a line drive that glanced off Morris\u2019 right forearm and hit the little finger on his left hand.Morris retired the next three batters but was replaced by Leiter to start the third.X-rays on Morris were negative, and his hand was placed in a splint.He will undergo a precautionary bone scan in Texas on Thursday.Leiter (6-5) shut out the White Sox on two hits, walking three and striking out three.Chicago scored in the eighth off Tony Castillo on a grounder by Robin Ventura, and Duane Ward pitched the ninth for his 23rd save.Wilson Alvarez (8-6) gave up four runs on seven hits in 6 2-3 innings.He walked six and struck out seven.Toronto scored two runs in the second on singles by John Olerud and Tony Fernandez, a walk to Ed Sprague, a sacrifice fly by Darnell Coles and an RBI single by Devon White.The Blue Jays added a pair of runs in the seventh when Roberto Alomar reached on Ven- tura\u2019s error at third base, Paul Molitor and Joe Carter singled, and Olerud followed with a sacrifice fly.With one hit

Mary Pierce wants her father to be her dad.not her tennis coach.\u201cWe'll still keep our relationship, we\u2019ll be together, \u201d\u2019 the 18-year-old tennis player said Wednesday.\u2018\u2018As far as tennis is concerned, we were just fighting a lot.\u201d Jim Pierce is banned from Kraft Tour events for the next year because of disruptive behavior.His Montreal-born daughter was one of the youngest tennis players to turn professional when she made the jump at 14 years, two months in April 1989.She has won six pro titles and reached the quarter-finals of the French Open in 1992.But the member of the Pierce family who has probably received the most publicity is her father, who has coached his daughter from the moment she picked up a racket.Mary Pierce left Canada when she was an infant and calls France her home.The Women's Tennis Council barred Jim Pierce in June after he was kicked out of the French Open for causing a disturbance during his daughter\u2019s match against Kimberly Po.\u201cIt was kind of difficult to play my next match against Jennifer (Capriati),\u201d\u201d Mary Pierce said of the French Open.\u201cI was feeling very uptight.\u201d The WTC said Jim Pierce had broken the newly expanded \u2018\u2018dishonorable conduct or unprofessional conduct\u2019 rule for players, which now extends to player agents, coaches and family members.\u201cI think it\u2019s kind of hard for him to take it,\u201d Mary Pierce said.\u2018\u2018He really enjoys coming on the court and being part of my tennis, but it wasn\u2019t really enjoyable when we were fighting.\u201d Camille Benjamin and Pam Casale-Telford, both competing in the Pathmark exhibition event this week, have strong feelings about parents coaching their children in professional tennis.\u201cI could never have my dad coach me,\u2019\u2019 said Casale- Telford, a native of Fairfield, N.J., who was ranked as high as No.15 in 1984.\u201cSome girls like it.Ineed my dad to be my friend.\u201d \u201cYou have to be careful,\u201d Benjamin said.Pierce said she was not expecting her father to attend the Pathmark, although he\u2019s allowed since it\u2019s not on the Kraft Tour.She was being accompanied by a security guard Wednesday.Bills sign Thoma to four-year deal FREDONIA.N.Y.(AP) \u2014 The Buffalo Bills made it worth the wait for Thurman Thomas.Following some last-minute contract fine-tuning, Thomas became the NFL\u2019s highest- paid running back.agreeing to a four-year, $13.5-million contract Wednesday.\u201cI'm happy for the rest of my career I will be a Buffalo Bill,\u201d said Thomas, who will carn $4 million this season.\u2018I! wanted to finish my career here and nowhere else.\u201d Bills owner Ralph Wilson Jr.called Thomas \u2018\u2018the best running back I've ever seen.\u201cWithout him, we wouldn't have made it to three Super Bowls or have the record we've had.\u201d Wilson said.Thomas\u2019s agent, Leigh Stein- berg.had originally announced the agreement Wednesday morning.but acknowledged later in the day the contract had not been completed.Then, following a brief evening negotiating session with Wilson and Bills general manager John Butler, an agreement was reached.\u201cI was determined not to leave without a deal,\u201d said Steinberg, explaining part of the holdup was not having Thomas available in the afternoon, when he was practising with the team.\u201cIf I had had ready access to Thurman at all times, we probably would have cut the time frame in half.We just had a lot of details to work out.\u201d The contract calls for Thomas to receive $4 million this year.His salary decreases to approximately $2.8 million for each of the next two years before jumping up back up to about $4 million in the final year.\u201cI think I've got at least four more years in me that I can perform at the level 1 have been,\u201d said Thomas, who last season became the first player in NFL history to lead the league in combined rushing and receiving yards for four straight seasons.He said he decided not to play out the final year of his existing contract and try the free-agent market next year.\u201cI want to stay here,\u201d he said.\u2018I didn\u2019t want to be out on the tour like Reggie White.\u201d Thomas rushed for a career- best 1,487 yards last season, his fourth straight 1,000-yard season.and third highest in the league behind Emmitt Smith of Dallas and Barry Foster of Pittsburgh.He also led the NFL in yards from scrimmage for the fourth consecutive season with 2,113 and led the AFC with 12 touchdowns.4 SHERBROOKE (IM) \u2014 Four Sherbrooke soccer players are among the best under-19 women players in Canada playing this weekend in a Canada-wide selection tournament.National team coaches will eyeball players from six provinces during a nine-game , tournament which gets under way today at 3 p.m.at the Sherbrooke Fair Grounds near the Sports Palace.Quebec team assistant

down the road,\u201d he said.Goaltender Josiane Bolduc, who like her three Sherbrooke teammates plays for Mistral- Estrie, said she has no idea what her chances are for selection to the national team.\u201cI know that it\u2019s going to be tougher.\u201d said Bolduc.who was invited to last year's tournament but didn't play.\u201cThe calibre is a lot higher than local play.\u201d Teammate Alexandra Hotte said she \u201cexpects a medal\u201d for the Quebec team.\u201cI don\u2019t think about the selection.\u201d she said.\u201cYou've got t È mi 4 play one day at a time.\u201d Eight of

Edmonton \u2014 lease the Coliseum from Northlands and then sublet it to Oilers owner Peter Pocklington.Northlands put forth some other proposals LeLacheur wouldn't discuss and he refused to say whether he thought Northlands was unreasonable after agreeing to the tentative deal May 13.\u201cThe business issues | think still could have been overcome with some reasonable discussion and negotiation two ways.but the point is now we haven't gotten to that.\u201cIs difficult to pin blame on this.We did the best we could .1 guess at the end of the day.(Northlands) made a business decision that they were no longer interested in pursuing the original concept.fire began was beams bursting above the box.-the primary structural damage caused by the blaze.The start of the game was delayed almost two hours, but no one was injured.Ten-thousand seats were closed off for Tuesday's game.Officials said most were reopened for Wednesday night\u2019s Braves-Cardinals game, but 1.700 seats in four sections above a steel beam warped by the heat will stay closed until the next home game Aug.3.Atlanta Fire Department spokesman Tim Syzmanski said the first call on the fire came from a

city today.issued a statement Wednesday saying there was no point now in making the trip.Pocklington warned earlier this year that if a new lease agreement wasn't negotiated, he would move theteam, possibly to Hamilton.But the city, Northlands and Pocklington agreed to the tentative deal May 13.In the ensuing weeks, Nor- thlands said it might reject the lease deal if it wasn\u2019t promised $3.5 million a year in rent and unless there was a mechanism in place to keep the club in Edmonton for 20 years.Still, as late as Tuesday night.Northlands officials said they were still optimistic a deal could be reached.Pocklington, who would have managed the Coliseum for concerts and other events as fore any stadium official had reported the blaze.\u2018A lot of people over there were negligent at the stadium for not picking up the telephone and calling the fire department.\u2019\u2019 Syzmanski said.But Williams and Braves president Stan Kasten said several officials and the stadium switchboard operator did report the fire, although they did not have exact times.Investigators reviewed tapes of 911 calls Wednesday and confirmed the firefighter called before stadium officials.Williams said it took at least 30 minutes for firefighters to hook up hoses and begin dousing the fire.Oilers\u2019 future hangs by a thread \u2014 again well as Oiler games under the

know is we still maintain that the Edmonton Oilers .are very important to the fabric and makeup of this city and our objective is still to make sure they stay here.\u201d He said Pocklington was disappointed and must now consider his alternatives.The tentative deal appeared to avert Pocklington\u2019s threat to move the team.At the time, he had suggested the club could be moved to Hamilton, which has been seeking an NHL franchise.But it\u2019s extremely unlikely the Oilers would move before the 1993-94 season because the NHL schedule is already in place and team officials have said the team is in Edmonton for at least one more year."]
