HO} SUMMER DAY 40 cents Companies viol By Jack Branswell QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Quebec\u2019s chief returning officer has charged several companies including Air Canada and Rothmans with violating the province\u2019s referendum laws during last October\u2019s campaign.Pierre F.Côté also charged three powerful Quebec unions: the Quebec Federation of Labor, the provincial branch of the Canadian Auto Workers and the the union representing Quebec artists.Bombardier Inc., the giant engineering firm, is also being charged for sending out a position paper with employees\u2019 pay cheques.Both the unions and compa- New York to uproot anti-Bill 86 || billboard MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The New York State Transportation Department will take down a billboard that tells American visitors heading to Canada that Quebec has \u2018\u2018suspended fundamental liberties,\u2019\u2019 state officials said Tuesday.The bilboard was erected Monday by a small group of English-speaking Quebecers calling themselves the Citizens of Canada Foundation.They are led by McGill University professor Don Donderi and are opposed to Quebec\u2019s language law.The group says it wants to promote a multicultural Canada.It objects to some of the provisions designed to preserve and promote the French language in Quebec, such as French-only billboards.New York Transportation Department officials said Tuesday the billboard erected by the group doesn\u2019t meet state regulations.ILLEGAL \u201cIt\u2019s illegal because it is on public land belonging to the state and is too close to the highway,\u201d said state official Jim Kerrigan.The billboard should be taken down \u2018\u2018as soon as possible,\u201d he said.Donderi, who initiated the idea, wouldn\u2019t comment on the New York decision.\u2018The billboard is the problem of the entrepreneur who installed it, not mine,\u201d he said.Donderi and the foundation erected the sign at Trout River, N.Y., just south of the U.S.customs post used to enter Canada.They hoped it would pressure Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa into adopting a policy of bilingualism.\u2018Welcome to Quebec where we have suspended fundamental liberties.\u201d\u2019 the sign reads.Much of the English- speaking community in Quebec condemned the action.At McGill University, many asked what right Donderi had to use university materials to promote his cause, including his use of a photocopier to invite reporters to the billboard\u2019s launch.\u201cThe university is studying the matter seriously and intends to take the appropriate steps,\u201d a spokesman said.- \u2014 SHERBROOKE 569-9528 nies are charged because they distributed brochures or newsletters promoting an option during the campaign without being sanctioned by either official committee that monitored referendum spending.Under Quebec law all expenses must be approved and fall under either the Yes or No umbrella committees.The unions supported the No side and the companies\u2019 literature called for a Yes vote.$100 to $10,000 Fines range from $100 to $10,000 in all 11 cases.Rolland Chausse, a councillor in St-Jacques-le-Mineur, southeast of Montreal.was the only individual charged.He wrote a letter supporting the No option and delivered about 500 copies door to door.- The whole operation cost him $50.but he said he did it to make a point.Chausse, reached at home.was angry the Royal Bank of Canada delivered a report on the cost of Quebec sovereignty during the campaign but wasn\u2019t charged.\u201cI am not the Royal Bank.\u201d he said.\u2018(The letter) was just a small thing and we\u2019ll see where it leads.\u201d The Royal Bank was careful not to publish or circulate its report in Quebec, although its contents were widely reported in the province.665 CON Clement Godbout.secretary- general of the Quebec Federation of Labor.had a similar reaction.He said the union had a special meeting to discuss the referendum and it routinely publishes literature before a debate.\u201cWe think that\u2019s a strange interpretation\u2019 of the law.he said.NO COMMENTS A Bombardier spokewoman said the company is studying the charge and has no comment.Air Canada also had no comment.Côté said his office had about 100 files that dealt with unauthorized expense viola- Neuilly Boys\u2019 Choir members write postcards with director Pierre Balbous (right) in the basement of Magog\u2019s St.Patrick\u2019s Church after a rehearsal.The choir, from the Paris suburb of Neuilly- sur-Seine, is in Magog for a free concert tonight.For the full story, turn the page.PHOTO/BROOKE GRANTHAM fl EC x AF ee & CE CS EUX cribe Now! QED Becord Disabled Canadians have access to more jobs, better education By Bob Cox - OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 More people with disabilities got jobs and higher education in the last half of the 1980s \u2014 but they still lagged far behind the rest of the population, Statistics Canada reported Tuesday.About half of people with disabilities were employed in 1991, up from 40 per cent in 1986.About 35 per cent had at least some post-secondary education, up from 31 per cent five years earlier.But there were \u2018\u2018still major differences between the rates of employment of persons with disabilities and non-disabled persons,\u201d the agency said.Advocates for the handicapped said the gains were small and due more to an increase in the number of people reporting minor disabilities than to changed attitudes by employers towards people with disabilities.NOT MUCH CHANGE \u201cThings haven't changed significantly,\u201d said Francine Ar- senault, president of the Coalition of Provincial Organizations of the Handicapped.\u201cI'm sure government is KNOWLTON 243-0088 going to use the stats to say things have improved, but overall .they point to the fact that we need more improvement.\u201d In fact, the Statistics Canada survey showed unemployment rose among people with moderate and severe disabilities.And more than half of such people believed they faced job discrimination because of their conditions.The report said a jump in people reporting mild disabilities \u2018\u2018likely contributed to the increase in employment and education.\u201d Survey figures released last October showed the number of working-age people reporting disabilities rose to 2.3 million in 1991 \u2014 13 per cent of the population compared with 10 per cent in 1986.A mild disability could be as simple as trouble walking up and down stairs or hearing what is said in normal conversation.More serious conditions such as blindness or reliance on a wheelchair are classified as either moderate or severe.The numbers, from the Statistics Canada health and limitation survey: ® 48 per cent of working-age people with disabilities were employed in 1991, compared with 40 per cent in 1986.That included 56 per cent of men with disabilities (up from 50 per cent) and 41 per cent of women (up from 31 per cent).About 73 per cent of the working-age population was employed in 1991.® The unemployment rate among those with disabilities was 14.4 per cent in 1991, down from 15.3 per cent five years earlier.The general population rate was about 10 per cent at both times.® The unemployment rate for people with mild disabilities was 12.4 per cent in 1991, down from 14.8 per cent in 1986.The ratesrose to 16.5 per cent (from 14.8) for moderate disabilities and to 27.9 per cent (from 21.4 per cent) for severe disabilities.® 1,248,500 working-age people reported mild disabilities, 725,430 reported moderate problems and 323,205 said they had severe conditions.\u2014

challenge parachute policy By Warren Caragata OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Two Liberal rebels, including a former senior cabinet minister, will file a court challenge today seeking to strip Liberal leader Jean Chrétien of his power to appoint candidates.John Munro, who coveted the party's nomination in the southern Ontario riding of Lincoln, and Peter Li Preti, who aimed at the nomination in Metro Toronto\u2019s York Centre seat, are behind the challenge.Barbara Jackman, Munro's lawyer, said papers will be filed today asking the general division of Ontario Court to overturn parts of the Liberal party rules because they violate the Charter of Rights.The Charter normally applies only to government and government agencies but Jackman said she will argue that the Liberal party is an agent of the government.With a federal election expected this fall, she said she will be asking for an early date to have the case tried.A victory could have far- ranging effects going well beyond stripping Chrétien of his controversial power to name candidates even over the objections of local Liberals.Li Preti, a municipal councillor in North York, was denied the nomination in York Centre when Chrétien appointed former Toronto mayor Art Eggle- ton, using powers he obtained when a 1991 party convention amended the Liberal constitution.Li Preti has now decided to run as an independent against Eggleton.The riding is held by retiring Liberal MP Bob Ka- plan.\u2018A lot of people despise Chrétien because of his abuse of his powers,\u201d Li Preti said.Chrétien will be campaigning today with an appointed Quebec candidate, Marcel Masse.Masse is a former senior bureaucrat in the federal - public service running in the Hull-Aylmer riding on the Quebec side of the Ottawa river.Tony Cannavino, who had been seeking the Liberal nomination there, has said he will run as an independent.Munro, a longtime minister in Pierre Trudeau's government, backed away from a try for the Lincoln nomination, saying the race was rigged by the party brass in favor of Tony Valeri.Tory re-election plan to include By Warren Caragata OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Kim Campbell\u2019s Conservatives have decided to push free trade with the United States and Mexico as a key element in their strategy to win the next election, sources said Tuesday.A new emphasis on trade is one of four themes Campbell's government has decided to stress in the weeks leading up to what most observers feel will be an election call around Labor Day.: The other issues are: quality of life, which includes tough talk on crime; elimination of government waste; and what Campbell calls a new approach to politics to change the mood of public cynicism.Political aides are scouring government departments to find so-called \u2018\u2018announ- ceables\u2019\u2019 that Campbell or her ministers can use to highlight the four themes.Some of the expected announcements include a review of social programs, changes to free trade the pension plan for MPs, parliamentary reform and tax incentives for workplace training.HELP WORKERS The government is also considering programs to help companies and workers adjust to the pending North American free-trade agreement.The deal, already approved by Parliament, is facing political opposition in the United States.Trade Minister Tom Hockin will be in Washington this week to discuss key side deals on labor and environmental standards with his U.S.and Mexican counterparts.Brian Mulroney\u2019s government was criticized for refusing to come up with an aid package to help businesses and employees adversely affected by Canada\u2019s earlier bilateral trade deal with the United States.An adjustment package for NAFTA would help Campbell\u2019s strategists paint her gover- See STRATEGY, Page 2.fp

INDIAN RESERVE, Alta.(CP) \u2014 Quebec natives banded together for the first time Tuesday and called for a national resolution supporting their fight to get sepa- tatism off the Canadian political agenda.Chief Joe Norton, a Mohawk from the Kahnawake Nation, said it\u2019s time to stop treating Quebec with kid gloves.He said politicians have woven an illusion about the possibility of the province separating from the rest of Canada.\u2018Maybe it\u2019s time somebody treated them wih boxing gloves.\u2019 Norton said in the Quebec delegation\u2019s presentation to the Assembly of First Nations annual meeting.\u201cAll of the first nations in the province of Quebec have never collectively come together and delivered a strong message to the province and it\u2019s time to do it now.\u201d \u2018\u2018Maybe Quebec is doing us a favor because it\u2019s bringing us all together,\u201d said Micmac Chief Brenda Miller.NO LEGAL BASIS Canadians should realize Quebec will never separate because it has no historical or legal basis to do so, Norton insisted.\u2018\u2018\u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as Quebec sovereignty,\u201d he said.\u2018\u201cThere\u2019s no such thing as separation.They do not own the land.They do not have the right to separate.\u201cIf anybody has that right then it is the first nations in the region that is currently called Quebec.\u201d The treaties signed in the 1600s by various tribes like the Mohawk, Micmac and Algonquin did not cede aboriginal rights to the land, Norton said.\u201cIt is very clear that the province will not separate.cannot separate and we will not stand for it.\u201d Michaell Mitchell.grand chief of the the Akwesasne Mohawk Council.suggested a great battle looms for the 10 first nations in the province.He suggested the best way to fight Quebec\u2019s attempts to marginalize native issues is to put pressure on the provincial and federal governments to recognize aboriginal rights.APPLY PRESSURE That pressure can be applied through the political process, Norton said, but he did not rule out physical confrontations if natives feel cornered into to defending their rights.\u201cIt could definitely happen.although I'm not advocating that.We have never thrown the first stone.It's always been somebody else who's tried to impose their will on us.\u201d He added natives aren't trying to impose their views on French-speaking Canadians either.\u201cIt\u2019s not about dispossessing anybody or anything.It's a question about how we're going to live together.If (a takeover by native people) was going to happen we wouldn't have allowed them to survive the first time they came here.\u201d Later.Ethel Blondin.a Dene and Liberal member of Parlia- meat from the Northwest Territories.said her party is comntitted lo the inherent right of aboriginal self-government.It has incorporated into its election platform a promise to improve economic and social conditions on reserves.A report putting that promise in writinz and with suggestions on how to achieve it is being prepared bv the partv's aboriginal affairs commission.which Blondin chairs.It should be released soon, she said.Tragic Hercules accident won\u2019t ground military plane By Larry Johnsrude ':: EDMONTON (CP) \u2014 The mi- -\u201clitary doesn\u2019t plan to perma- ::nently ground low-level flight \u201cexercises despite the crash of a Hercules transport plane last \"week that killed five airmen, Canada\u2019s chief of defence staff said Tuesday.~' Admiral John Anderson said although the ground-hugging air drops are dangerous, they are essential to military and relief efforts around the world.Anderson, delivering the eulogy in the memorial services for five dead crew members from Edmonton, said Canada has built an international reputation for such procedures., \u201cIn the six months since I was appointed chief of defence staff, I have received countless compliments on the outstanding performance of the Canadian forces in such places as Somalia, Croatia, Cambodia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina,\u201d he said.\u2018\u2018In order to achieve and maintain this level of professionalism and performance of course we must practise, and this practice carries its own risks.\u201d Trade commission By Laura Eggertson WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 A Montreal-based steel company resumes exports of cold-rolled steel to the United States today, one of the few clear winners in the Canadian steelmakers\u2019 latest encounter with U.S.trade law.The U.S.International Trade Commission voted 4-2 on Tuesday to lift duties against Car.a- dian hot- and cold-rolled steel :.exports, about 60 per cent of the \u2018Canadian products under in- , .yestigation.* But in a decision involving 20 :-eountries and five steel products, the commission ruled steel plate and corrosion- resistant steel from Canada injure the U.S.industry.The Canadian products were part of a \u2018\u2018gargantuan\u2019\u2019 series of 74 cases the commission considered as part of U.S.trade law.But the commission found no injury or threat in 42 of the 74.U.S.steelmakers, who initiated the case, said they will appeal.NO MORE DUTIES The vote means an end to duties, likely by mid-August, on Capt.Michael Allen, 29, Capt.Vincent Schurman, 32, Master Warrant Officer Joseph Castonguay, 40, Sgt.Alain Michaud, 38, and Master Cpl.Ronald McWilliam, 40, were killed Thursday when their plane crashed while they were practising a drop on the military base near Wainwright, 200 kilometres

duties on Canadian steel exports from Sidbec-Dosco of Montreal and CMP of Hamilton.Neither company exported corrosion-resistant steel or steel plate to the United States.Companies including Hamil- ton-based Stelco and Dofasco and Regina-based Ipsco still must pay tariffs ranging from 1.47 to 68.7 per cent on their U.S.exports.\u2018\u201cIt is the first good news in a very, very long time,\u201d said John Le Bouthillier, president of Montreal\u2019s Sidbec-Dosco.The company called its U.S.customers to announce it will resume shipments suspended Major Alan Niles, 46, Warrant Officer Stephen Hull, 39, Sgt.Hank Lous, 38, and Capt.Marc Juneau, 30, were injured in the crash.Niles and Hull are still in hospital.All four attended Tuesday\u2019s memorial service.Low-level drops have been suspended while the accident is investigated.But Anderson said there are no plans to suspend the procedure indefinitely.\u2018\u2018In examining this exercise, that will be one of the things we will have to ask ourselves in terms of the risks involved and after last month\u2019s Commerce Department ruling imposed a tariff of 48.29 per cent on its cold-rolled exports.\u201cIt\u2019s already done,\u201d Bouthil- lier said from Montreal.The U.S.industry questioned the commission's methodology.\u201c\u201cWe believe and have consistently said we thought the evidence in this case was compelling and we should have prevailed,\u201d\u201d said Hank Barnette, chairman of Bethlehem Steel Corp.NOT OVER \u201cThis just isn\u2019t over yet.\u201d the importance of having that operational capability.\u201d he said after the memorial service.DELIVERS SUPPORT \u201cIt is one of those capabilities that the Hercules gives us \u2014 deliver required support for people on the ground in circumstances where there's no other way of doing it.You can't land, you can't parachute it down, but you can drop it.\u201d More than 1,200 military personnel and civilians crammed into a massive drill hall on Canadian Forces Base Edmonton for the service.Families of the Canadian steelmakers were \u2018\u201cextremely disappointed\u2019 with the commission's ruling on corrosion-resistant steel and steel plate, said John May- berry, chairman of the Canadian Steel Producers Association.But \u2018\u2018the hot- and cold-rolled ruling nevertheless constitutes a partial vindication of the position that has been taken by Canadian steelmakers,\u201d said Mayberry, also president of Dofasco.Any appeals merely detract from the Canadian goal of ne- victims wept quietly while the bandaged

connection with a hostage-taking Tuesday afternoon.About 10 Quebec Police Force officers from Sherbrooke and Coaticook were called to the man\u2019s home on 110th Street at Lake Lovering in Stanstead Township, after his common-law wife called police at about 4:30 p.m.Police surrounded the large blue home and cordoned off the house from the public.About 15 shots were fired inside the man\u2019s home, located about 15 kilometres south of Magog.said a QPF spokesman.A boy about 15 years old escaped from the house and sought shelter in a police cruiser.After negotiating with the suspect for about 30 minutes, police apparently convinced the man to free the 25-year-old woman, who was taken from the scene by ambulance, in a state of shock but otherwise unhurt.The man gave himself up a short while later.The hostage- Conserving energy Sherbrooke U.research: Keeping warm with less SHERBROOKE (DH) \u2014 Researchers at Sherbrooke University will soon study an experimental house that may one day lead to more energy efficient homes in Quebec.Armed with a $125,000 grant from the Quebec Energy and Resources Ministry.student researcher Eric Dumont and mechanical engineering professor Nicolas Galanis will try to develop computer software used for testing energy efficiency.The project centres on Habi- tasol 2000, an energy-efficient house in St-Luc sur Richelieu, a town near St-Jean.While the home\u2019s designers know Habita- sol is more energy efficient than conventional houses, the Sherbrooke University team wants \u201cto know how much more,\u201d Dumont said on Tuesday.The first year of the project will be devoted to installing equipment to measure energy consumption in the state-of- the-art house.Using this information, scientists will later try to develop a computer model of energy use in the dwelling.Dumont hopes scientists can one day use their computers to predict how structural changes to a house affect energy consumption.They\u2019ll make the changes on the computer \u2014 for example repositioning windows \u2014 and the software will calculate whether energy efficiency is increased.ADVANTAGE The obvious advantage, Du- mont said.is that scientists will be able to test their theories without having to build a new house each time.If the model eventually proves the economic value of new, energy efficient technolo- subdivision, which features rows of nearly identical houses.got such a raw deal.\u201cI was lucky.\u201d said Claude Coté.\u201cI only had minor condensation problems at the start.\u201d He said not all the houses were built by the same subcontractors.\u201cI knew the contractor who built mine,\u201d Côté said, and that helped when it came time to fix things.Other homeowners said they only minor problems normally associated with new houses.eee taking lasted about 90 minutes.Police say they don\u2019t yet know what provoked the incident.QPF Sgt.André Moreau said the suspect was previously known to police.He was unable to say what type of gun was used.The suspect was taken to QPF regional headquarters in Sherbrooke.He was jailed overnight after questioning and is to appear in court today in Sherbrooke.Possible charges against him include kidnapping, illegal detention, dangerous use of a firearm and assault.gy \u201cthen we can apply it to new homes,\u201d said Dumont, a graduate student in applied sciences.Energy use is currently reduced at Habitasol 2000 by a number of innovations which make use of the sun\u2019s heat.For example, a majority of the home\u2019s windows are positioned to let in as much light as possible.There are also several concrete walls \u2014 termed a \u201cthermal mass\u201d \u2014 designed to soak up the sun\u2019s heat, releasing it gradually to heat the home.Water in a three-metre- square indoor pool does the same thing.Dumont believes rising costs will soon force Quebecers to consider energy-saving alternatives.\u201cIt\u2019s a future that isn\u2019t that far off.\u201d 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, July 28, 1993 the 1\" The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial blown out of proportion The latest language kerfuffle to hit the fan in Quebec involves fringe eccentrics from Montreal\u2019s West Island.But while their publicity stunt is embarassing to Quebecers, even more humiliating is the reaction of some Quebec media.The nonsense began this week with a billboard erected at the Trout River, N.Y, border crossing, proclaiming to U.S.visitors entering Canada that they have arrived in a province where the provincial government has \u201csuspended fundamental liberties.\u201d The message is a criticism of Quebec\u2019s language laws.It being summer \u2014 a traditionally slow time of year for news \u2014 and it being a language story, most

Whitehorse Northern Star, John Holman urges parents to play an active role in native children\u2019s education: School counsellors and teachers often put native kids in general diploma programs for no reason other than they are brown.This institutional racism, based on color classification, is very hard to overcome unless the parents are stubborn and direct.When I attended Grade 10 in Fort Smith, while living at Grandin College, they automatically put me in the general diploma program.It was not until mid-October that I got into matriculation, .which was what I originally wanted to take and avhich was what my mom wanted me to take.I did not do admirably, though, because I was hopelessly behind in math.It was the beginning of the end.I began to lose my naivete as my young, flexible mind grasped this unwieldy concept: they assumed that because my eyes were brown, my hair black and because I wasn\u2019t white and from a small town, I would automatically be shuffled into general studies, on to the blue-collar road.Ilearned a few things from this: keep an eye on your child\u2019s education and get involved in your school.Remember, folks, your taxes help pay for these schools and for the salaries of the counsellors and teachers.Take charge and do not let them underestimate you or your kids.Give your kids what they deserve.What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press Today in history By The Canadian Press Austria declared war on Serbia.beginning the First World War 79 years ago today \u2014 in 1914.Britain subsequently declared war on Germany and

finally confessed its responsibility and deep shame.The victims, who have long told stories of male rape, beatings and cover-ups, are now seeking belated damages from the Congregation of Christian Brothers.The children, many of them now in their 50s, were among thousands sent from Britain to Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in a now-discredited migration program.In Canada, eight current or former members of the Christian Brothers order have been convicted on charges stemming from abuses at the Mount Cashel orphanage in St.John\u2019s, Nfld.And more than 200 charges have been laid against employees of two Ontario training schools run by the Brothers.By Jeff Daeschner SHERWOOD FOREST, England (Reuter) \u2014 Robin Hood and his band would have a hard job finding a place to hide from the Sheriff of Nottingham in Sherwood Forest these days.The forest of 500-year-old oaks and slender silver birches where the legendary thief and his Merry Men reputedly used to live stands on the brink of extinction, forestry experts say.Sprawling towns and farms.as well as the constant use of the woods for recreation, have endangered the forest, which used to be called Shirewood because it covered most of the shire, or county, of Nottingham in central England.Ayear after launching a project aimed at saving the historic forest, only 500 trees have been planted.\u201cIf we don\u2019t save the forest now.tly orphans, child migrants and state wards between the ages of six and 16 \u2014 were housed at four institutions in Western Australia between the late 1930s and the 1960s.Gordon Grant, 59, from Birmingham, England, remembers being called over by the Brother Superior soon after he arrived in 1948.\u2018He asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up,\u201d Grant said.\u201cI just said I didn\u2019t know yet.\u201d \u2018\u2018Without any warning, this huge fist came from nowhere and punched me so hard that I somersaulted once or twice across the concrete dining room floor.\u201d Another brother later checked his injury and told Grant his nose was broken, but no medical treatment was offered.Such allegations have been documented in articles, books, films and a recent television miniseries, but were largely ignored by the order itself until this .month.In advertisements published in there won\u2019t be much of it left,\u201d said Austin Brady, project director for the Sherwood Initiative.\u201cWe're aiming to bring it back from the brink.\u201d TREE PLANTING Conservationists with the Sherwood Initiative hope to plant 800 hectares of trees in the next 10 to 20 years to unite the remnants of the forest\u2019s historic heath and woodlands.\u201cWe're not looking at planting vast areas of new forest, but rather creating carefully preserved areas,\u201d Brady said.New facilities such as hiking routes and a parking lot will open in a newer section of the forest in an attempt to draw some of the area's 800.000 yearly visitors from the ancient Birklands woodlands where Robin and his bighearted fellow outlaws are reputed to have lived.lia, the Christian Brothers apologized unreservedly to former students who suffered, begging their forgiveness.SHAME AND REGRET The unexpected statement described the violations as a source of deep shame and regret and offered counselling and assistance to those needing it.But the former students\u2019 lobby group, Victims of Institutionalized Cruelty, Exploitation and Supporters, or VOICES, feels the Brothers\u2019 statement does not go far enough.It wants a government inquiry and compensation in line with the $23 million in payouts the Brothers agreed to in Ontario.\u201cEven if it were possible to quantify the damage done in each individual case, just handing out money is a very limited response to the needs that are there,\u201d said Brother Tony Shanahan, a Christian Brothers spokesman.NO DENIALS The order does not deny some boys experienced

students deny having been physically or sexually abused.Many of the estimated 4,000 children who went through the four institutions were not orphans, but illegitimate or from poor or broken homes, and many were sent without the knowledge or permission of their families.All had one thing in common \u2014 once they arrived at the orphanages, they were subjected to harsh discipline, heavy labor, Dickensian living conditions and poor nutrition.\u201cWe lived in utter terror of the brothers,\u201d said former student Don McLaughlan-Todd, explaining he kept his past to himself for years \u2018\u2018because it was all so embarrassing.\u201d Most tourists visit the Bir- klands\u2019 Sherwood Forest County Park to see the oak tree where Robin and his men used to hide from the sheriff.Forestry experts say the tree, at least 500 years old and propped up by timbers, would have been at best a sapling in the early 13th century, when legal records refer to a Robert Hood as a fugitive from justice.The forest was historically much larger than the Birklands.It originally embraced most of the villages, farms, heaths and woodlands in Nottinghamshire, covering an area about 32 kilometres long and 13 kilometres wide.URBAN GROWTH Over the centuries, farming and urban growth have reduced the forest to four fragments crisscrossed by roads and covering a Ecologists fight to save Robin Hood\u2019s forest total of just 4,000 hectares.\u201cFor alot of people who come to the area, there\u2019s a certain amount of disappointment because the fragments of the forest don\u2019t live up to their expectations,\u201d Brady said.It may be 10 years before visitors notice a difference in the forest, Brady said.The project\u2019s long-term goal is to adapt Sherwood\u2019s tourist appeal to its modern use as a site for lumber production, wildlife preservation and recreation, including cycling, hiking and car rallying.\u201cWhen you're talking about woods and forests and you ask someone to name a forest, they usually think of Sherwood Forest.Because it's so well known, Sherwood should be a shining example of what forests arelike,\u201d Brady said.

the \u2018\u2018manufacturing muscle\u201d areas but in computers and semiconductors, drug and health-related fields, communications and telecommunications, and the manufacture and use of environmental, weather and industrial measuring devices.What makes these jobs difficult to get is the high levels of training they require.In 1986, only 23 per cent of the labor force held jobs needing more than 16 years of schooling, but almost half of new jobs created in the \u201990s will require that much, says Employment and Immigration Canada.\u201cThe pace of change and innovation is occurring more quickly than ever,\u201d says Bill Waite, president of the Canadian operation of German- based Siemens.The pace of change means companies are always looking for qualified people to do new jobs \u2014 and they usually need them fast.SKILLS SHORTAGE Companies say the skills shortage, restricted to certain areas now, will become widespread.\u201cThe numbers of people in school studying for these skilled trades and engineering professions will not be sufficient to replace those retiring around the end of the century,\u201d says Roland Schnippering, senior human resources administrator at Siemens.Siemens, fifth-largest electronics company in Canada, wants to quadruple its manu- \u2018\u201c\u201cWe\u2019re tracking pretty much to the 10 per cent\u2019\u2019 based on preliminary figures, he added.Waite also said IBM Canada will be hiring some new employees in \u2018\u2018certain highly skilled areas,\u201d including software development and some sales positions.IBM Canada reduced its staff by 2,200 last year through voluntary means.Its payroll at the end of 1992 stood at about 10,000, down from 12,000 a year earlier.The company\u2019s Canadian headquarters are located in finished by which has been claiming unpaid bills of up to $2.7 billion.Construction costs have nearly doubled from the $9 billion estimated when the project began in 1986.Earlier this month, Mon- treal-based Bombardier Inc.filed a $746 million claim against Markham.Ont.just north of Toronto.IBM also has a software lab in Toronto and two manufacturing plants \u2014 one in Toronto and one in Bromont.IBM's board of directors cut the quarterly dividend from 54 cents to 25 cents.the second time this year they have cut the payout to shareholders to save money.The quarterly loss is the biggest ever for IBM and second only to the $21 billion loss General Motors Corp.reported in the fourth quarter of 1992.year end TransManche-Link for alleged delays and cost

the ability of RailTex to market its other short lines successfully,\u201d it said.RailTex, which is based in Texas and operates 18 small railways in the United States, will pay $20 million for the 400- kilometre line.The deal needs federal cabinet approval.CN hopes to transfer the line to a new RailTex subsidiary, Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway, in the early fall, said CN spokesman Bob Scott.\u2018It\u2019s probably going to be almost like a seamless thing,\u201d he said.\u2018\u2018We\u2019ll stop operating on one given day and they\u2019ll start operating the following day.\u201cThe customers on that particular line will continue to be served as\u2019 they always have been.\u201d The line, used to move freight like coal and gypsum, links Cape Breton and eastern Nova Scotia with the main CN line between Halifax and Montreal.RailTex already has a Canadian line near Stratford, Ont.It\u2019s called the Goderich and Exeter and traffic on it has climbed sharply since RailTex took over.CN is selling the Truro- Sydney line because it is only facturing jobs by the end of the century, to 12,000 in total.Hoping to hire 18 people for its London, Ont., automotive operation, it held a job fair which drew 270 applicants, only four of whom were hired.The company has since advertised in newspapers \u2014 its needs include a cooling systems engineer, development engineers and product application engineer \u2014 but 14 of the 18 jobs remain unfilled.Training people would take at least a year, says Schnippe- ring, and the company has ruled out this option because it needs the work done now.Gary Gambacort, director of human resources at Gennum Corp., says North America will have a shortage of 30,000 to 60,000 engineers by the end of the decade.Competition among employers for skilled marginally profitable and might eventually face abandonment, said Scott.\u201cWe felt it would be in the best interests of the customers on the line that we look for and find a reputable short-line operator, which RailTex certainly is.\u201d CN has about 110 full-time employees on the line but Rail- Tex is expected to run it with fewer workers.Some employees will move over to RailTex while others will move to other jobs in CN or take early retirement, said Scott.\u2018\u201c\u201cWe have agreements obviously with our people on that line and all the agreements will be honored,\u2019 he said.Nova Scotia Transport Minister Richie Mann said the province will bring in legislation and regulations to ensure the new operator complies with the same safety regulations and standards as CN.In its decision, the agency said it is satisfied RailTex will honor current shipping rates and serve customers adequately.And it says CN has assured the Nova Scotia government that it will return to the line should RailTex cease operations.and experienced people will be \u201cfierce.\u201d Gennum, based in Burlington, Ont., designs and makes integrated circuits.It plans to grow from 245 staffers to 350 over the next five years.The newcomers will have to be familiar with bipolar transistor technology.Some companies, says Gam- bacort, may turn to hiring skilled people from overseas, particularly Asia.There is already an increase in the hiring of landed immigrants trained elsewhere.HUGE SHORTAGE By the decade\u2019s end Canada could face a shortage of 15,000 engineers, says Wayne Roth, director of labor market outlook with Employment and Immigration Canada.His department recently conducted a joint study with the Canadian 4 4 4 à à à à 4

cent of the shares of Fecomme for $14 million US.The Groupe Fecomme.based in Claye-Souilly, a Paris suburb, has annual sales of $40 million US and 210 employees.It specializes in printing magazine covers, publicity inserts and flyers.Imprimeries Quebecor with 14,000 employees, is the largest printer in Canada and the second largest in the United States.Jean Neveu, president of Imprimeries Quebecor, said the company intends to expand in Europe over the next few years.\u201cDiscussions are underway with other printers.But we'd rather not comment further for the moment.\u201d The move to Europe is part of Quebecor\u2019s strategy to diversify geographically and in the range of its products.Neveu said the company also wants to expand into Mexico, It has already spread from Quebec to the rest of Canada and the United States.Imprimeries Quebecor had profits of $54 million US: in 1992 on sales of $1.4 billion US, It expects total sales of $1.7 billion US this year.The purchase of the Groupe Fecomme will be finalized by Sept.30 after an audit.Imprimeries Quebecor failed in its first attempt to penetrate the European market a few months ago when it tried to acquire another French printing house in the Loire Valley.As of May 21, 1993, employees are taxed on employer contributions made on their behalf to life insurance plans.Since this new measure applies only in Quebec, employers will be required to prepare different T4 and Relevé 1 slips.As of July 1, 1993, employers will have to take this benefit into account in calculating source deductions made for income tax and Quebec Pension Plan purposes.However, the amount of the benefit pertaining to the period from May 21, 1993 to June 30, 1993 will have to be reflected in source deductions made between July 1 and

reduce debilitating falls Falls are a major risk for elderly people.A study on human balance may help in development of footwear and floor surfaces that would reduce falls by the elderly.By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press A fall for an elderly person may make the difference between remaining independent and being admitted to a nursing home.And the reasons elderly folk are likely to fall can include physical response time, deteriorating vision.arthritis and medications.\u201cAnywhere from 30 to 60 per cent of elderly people are falling cach year,\u201d says physiologist Bill McIlroy, who with Brian Maki, a bioengineer, is using modern technology to study balance and its relationship to falling.The pair, who work in the Centre for Studies in Aging at Sunny- brook Health Science Centre in Toronto, have conducted a series of experiments into the ways people use to keep themselves upright \u2014 a field of research called dynamic posturography.BALANCE PROBLEM It may sound simplistic.but Maki has found that one of the major reasons the elderly fall is \u2018because they have problems with their balance.\u201d When a person is jostled or otherwise thrown off balance, an intricate network of systems springs into action, he explains.Instinctive reactions occur in the spinal cord, brain and skeletal muscles.McIlroy says the key reaction to a loss of balance is a quick step either forward or backward.\u201cThe stepping response clicks in within one-quarter of a second,\u201d he says.However, with elderly people the step doesn\u2019t occur fast enough or it doesn\u2019t redistribute the body\u2019s weight adequately.In the early stages of their research, the pair hooked up video cameras in the lobby of Toronto's Baycrest Centre for Geriatric Care.HAZARDS \u201cFrom that study we found that a lot of falls involve younger, healthier elderly who fall down because of environmental hazards,\u201d says Maki.FRUITS OF 01 \u201c LABOUI \u2018My hunch is that people haven't begun to appreciate their limitations.They haven't adapted to compensate for some other deterioration in their balance so they go on living the way they always have.\u201d To conduct the balance testing.a large movable platform was erected in the centre.Research subjects stand on the platform.which jerks backward and forward and sways side to side much like the motion of a bus.A computer hooked up to the platform shows a moving graph recording the amount of pressure the subject exerts and when a step occurs to maintain balance.\u201cWhat happens to people as they get older is they lose the touch sensation in their feet,\u201d\u201d explains McIlroy.\u2018We happen to believe that there is a lot of important information that comes from the If researchers could learn more about this area.\u2018it would aliow us to change footwear or floor surfaces to help older people keep their balance.\u201d Maki and Mellroy are also looking into the relationship between the central nervous system and an individual's ability to balance.\u201cI'm abig advocate of understanding the changes in the central nervous system, says Mellory.\u2018\u2019I think if we are going to administer drugs the elderly take for depression or other factors affecting the central nervous system, we need to understand how balance is controlled and try to minimize possible falls.\u201d ® Judy Creighton

our meeting at the end of each day.After a while, we became so friendly I had to see her every evening.People began to think of us as a couple.Even the police knew our names.Our identities were too closely linked, I thought, so I began to see her on the sly.At first, she stole small change from my pocket.I wasn't concerned.Before long, she crept into my billfold.I wasn't happy about that, Ann Landers but I enjoyed her company 100 much to complain.Friends said I was seeing too much of her and that she had made changes in me they didn't like.I resented their interference and said so.They dropped me.My wife and children complained about the time I took from them to spend with her.I said, \"If you insist that I make a choice, I will choose her.\" And I did.She began to demand so much of my money I could no longer afford new clothes.I heard people at work whisper about my shabby appearance.They blamed her.I was annoyed and distanced myself from my colleagues.She started to visit me at the office.My boss became upset.He said my friend was interfering with my work.After several warnings, I lost my job.We had some heavy arguments after that.I told her to stay away for a while, so I could think.She said, \u201cSo long, buddy.You'll come back to me before long.\u201d She knew me better than I knew myself.Within three days, I was seeing her again.Our affair became more intense than ever.We spent every day and night together.I lost my wife, my family and my job.The next thing to go was my health.Today, although I still bear the scars of that hideous friendship, I am on my way back.With God at my side, I know I will make it.My old friend will always be around the corner, waiting for me to weaken and stumble and come back to her, but I am determined to keep her out of my life forever.I have found a magnificent replacement.New activities scheduled for this year\u2019s Townshippers Day Now is thé time to mark Saturday, Sept.18 on your calendar.That\u2019s when Township-

During the presentation of Brother Clayton's Jewel, many incidents of masonic activities in years gone by, and those who were known and remembered for these happenings, were relived and much enjoyed by the brethren present; all adding to the pleasantry of the evening.Following the Jewel presen- tation, Wor.Brother Dexter Larose, Master of the Lodge, invited the District Deputy Grand Master, R.W.Brother Clarence Allen, to present Brother Bowker with a gift from the lodge.this being the much cherished Past District Deputy Grand Master\u2019s collar.Brother Clayton graciously thanked the brethren for their generous gift and the honor bestowed on him during the RR A aR ES evening.Now being active in the visitation of lodges in the area where he lives, he expressed the enjoyment that would be his in wearing and displaying his collar and announcing the source from which it came.The evening concluded with an enjoyable social hour.Submitted by C.J.Allen, D.D.G.M.R.W.Brother Clayton

West led his fourth-highest heart.South saw that if the diamond finesse was working, he was in clover.But in case East had the diamond king, South started by applying the Rule of Seven.He had five hearts between his hand and the dummy.Deducting five from seven told South to hold up his heart ace for two rounds.After winning the third heart trick, South took the diamond finesse.It lost, and East defended well by returning a low club.Now South\u2019s nerve failed him.Seeing several undertricks in his future, South played the club six.West gratefully scooped up the trick with his queen, cashed two heart tricks and led another club to his partner's ace: three down.South, of course, should have realized that he had to try to keep West off the lead.He should have risen with the club king.True, if West had the ace without the queen, this would cost a lot of extra undertricks.But they would be a small price for South to pay for the opportunity of making his contract.© 1993, NEWSPAPER

Janine, Jill, and John, a wide receiver who went to training camp with the Cowboys in 1988 and is now à scout for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.Jason signed with Dallas in 1992 and was on the team last

Lewis might play pro basketball again after collapsing during a playoff game April 29.On Tuesday.the 27-year-old Boston Celtics forward died after collapsing during a basketball workout.Following the first episode.Lewis's medical condition became the subject of front-page speculation when two teams of doctors made different diagnoses.After 48 hours of tests.a group of heart specialists convened by the Celtics at New England Baptist Hospital said Lewis suffered cardiomyo- pathy.a potentially life- threatening disease of the heart muscle that causes the heart to beat less vigorously.Cardiomyopathy was blamed when Hank Gathers, a college player for Loyola Marymount, collapsed during a game March 4, 1990.and died within two hours.The doctors proposed surgery to implant a defibrillator.a device used to normalize an erratic heart rhythm.The device PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Mario Lemieux, a four-time NHL scoring champion, will undergo surgery Wednesday for the second time in four years to determine the cause of his continuing back pain.The operation.planned for months, is exploratory and routine.according to the Pittsburgh Penguins.It is not certain whether the surgery will affect Lemieux\u2019s readiness for the Penguins\u2019 training camp in early September.The star centre has been bothered by sporadic back pain since a herniated disc was repaired July 11, 1990, forcing him to miss the first 50 games of the 1990-91 season.Doctors believe scar tissue building up around the area of the earlier operation is causing the recurrent pain, Lemieux said.can sense an abnormality and shock the heart hack into a regular rhythm.Dr.Arnold Scheller.the team doctor.indicated Lewis\u2019s basketoall career would probably be over.Lewis.27.switched to Brigham and Women\u2019s Hospital.where after a week of tests it was determined his problem was a nerve condition, not heart trouble.They said he had neurocar- diogenic syncope, in which the nerves trigger the heart to slow down instead of speed up during peak exercise.The ailment, the doctors said, was treatable with medication.Dr.Gilbert Mudge.director of clinical cardiology at Brigham and Women's.said Lewis had a \"normal athlete's heart with normal function\u201d and said that he was optimistic Lewis could eventually return to basketball.He conceded at the time there was conflicting information.Neither Scheller nor Mudge responded to requests for comment Tuesday.Lemieux under knife The pain sidelined Lemieux for most of the first four games of the Penguins-New York Islanders playoff series last May.The pain initially returned immediately after Le- mieux came back from a 23- game layoff for treatment of Hodgkin\u2019s disease.\u201cIt\u2019s not really spasms, it\u2019s a sharp pain,\u201d Lemieux said May 3, during the Islanders\u2019 series.\u2018Was it stress (from cancer)?Nobody knows.The sharp pain comes on and I have to stop playing.\u201d In 1990, surgeons relieved I¥- wer back pressure caused by a ruptured disc and mildly cracked vertebra, which together compressed a nerve leading from Lemieux\u2019s spinal cord to his legs.The doctors removed half of the disk, which is made of cartilage, and shaved off part of the vertebra.Pridham advances to second round MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Chris Pridham of Oakville, Ont., advanced to the second round of the Player\u2019s International Canadian Open tennis tournament with a tough three-set victory Tuesday over a player more than 100 positions below him in the world rankings.Ranked 132nd, Pridham defeated Keith Evans of the United States 4-6, 7-5, 6-4 in a first- round match interrupted by the rain that wreaked havoc with the day\u2019s schedule at the $1.65- million US event.Pridham became the second Canadian to move into the second round after Sebastien La- reau\u2019s victory Monday.Among the three other Canadians entered in the 56-man draw.Daniel Nestor of Wil- lowdale, Ont., was eliminated in three sets Monday by Peru\u2019s Jaime Yzaga.Toronto\u2019s Andrew Sznajder and Greg Rusedski, of suburban Pointe-Claire, had their first-round matches delayed until late Tuesday night because of the inclement weather that forced the postponement of the entire afternoon session.Evans, ranked 242nd, broke Pridham once in the first set but the Canadian, who achieved his Players best in Toronto last year with a third-round performance, returned the favor in the second set to tie the match.The third set was plagued by inconsistent servin and both men broke at will, with Pri- dham getting the decisive break in the ninth game to go up 5-4.He clinched the match in the 10th when Evans fired a backhand a few metres long.Pridham\u2019s victory was cheered by the enthusiastic crowd at Jarry Park but fell several decibels short of the noise registered after Lareau\u2019s win.Pridham\u2019s next opponent is Boris Becker, the tournament\u2019s third seed.The heavy, relentless rain Tuesday drove organizers crazy and made players edgy.\u201cOur priority right now is to concentrate on the first round,\u201d tournament director Richard Legendre said after the decision was made to postpone the regularly scheduled second-round matches Tuesday.Cuban bests own high-jump SALAMANCA, Spain (AP) \u2014 Javier Sotomayor of Cuba broke his world record in the high jump Tuesday with a leap of 2.45 metres.His old mark of 2.44 metres had stood for four years.The bar teetered but did not fall on his second.record- breaking attempt at the Sala- mark manca Invitational track and field meet.Sotomayor leaped from the pit to be mobbed by athletes.- \u2018This record could last several more years,\u201d Sotomayor said.The 25-year-old set the previous record on July 29, 1989, in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
