okay but it depends By Paul Mooney MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 An independent Quebec would reintroduce restrictions on the use of English in commercial signs, according to a proposed addition to the Parti Québécois program released Wednesday.Only businesses with four employees or less and owned by someone with the right to an English education in the province would be allowed to post bilingual signs in an independent Quebec.English education is restricted to those whose parents received an English education anywhere in Canada and to immigrants who entered the English school system before the adoption of Quebec\u2019s language law in 1977.PQ vice-president Bernard Landry told a news conference that jurists have assured the party the proposal would withstand court challenges.The PQ argues

sentence, which means Fa- brikant would not be eligible for parole until he has served 25 years.The Criminal Code allows him to ask a jury to review his parole eligibility after he has served 15 years.After a five-month trial, the jury of 11 spent seven hours de- \u20ac liberating before reaching verdicts on the four counts of first- degree murder, two counts of forcible confinement and one of attempted murder.A handcuffed Fabrikant, flanked by four constables, casually leaned on a railing in the prisoner\u2019s box, grinning widely and smirking as the verdicts were read.In a rambling

general practioner from suburban Pierrefonds, has been suspended from practice for an indefinite period by the governing body for Quebec doctors.Krause cannot practice while the Corporation of Physicians investigates allegations he had anal and oral sex with male adolescents and may have infected them with the virus believed to cause AIDS.Details of a disciplinary committee decision cannot be released because of a publication ban.Lawyer Guy Lafrance, who headed the three-member disciplinary committee, refused to comment on the suspension.The reason invoked by La- france last week for the ban is that it is necessary to protect Krause\u2019s right to a fair and full defence before the criminal courts where he is facing a sexual assault charge againsta 15-year-old male.Krause faces three charges before the corporation.He is accused of having had unprotected oral and anal sex with a patient while being a carrier of the AIDS virus.He is also accused of having had unprotected oral and anal sex with another patient living at his home, again while carrying the virus.The third charge alleges that he refused to co-operate with the corporation\u2019s investigation.Krause specializes in sports medicine and sexually transmitted diseases.The corporation\u2019s charges against Krause do not say whether he knew he was infected by the AIDS virus or whether the patients were indeed infected by him.Yugoslavia: The seige of Sarajevo almost over?TRNOVO, Bosnia- Herzegovina (AP) \u2014 Hundreds of Bosnian Serb soldiers pulled back from Mount Igman on Wednesday, but some remained on

PONTIAC ASUNA BUICK LTEE 1567 King West SHERBROOKE wi [Ewe 569-9351 IN SHERBROOKE 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Thursday, August 12, 1993 Serbs settle in Sherbrooke after Quebec City rejection By Dan Hawaleshka SHERBROOKE \u2014 Quebec immigration officials and a local aid group paraded Serbian refugees in front of television and newspaper cameras as they arrived in Sherbrooke to begin new lives Wednesday.The event was staged by the Ministry of Cultural Communities and Immigration and the Service d\u2019aide aux néo- Canadiens.Ester Mikes.Serbs not bothered.Five Serb families \u2014 16 adults and six children \u2014 from the former Yugoslavia were surrounded by event organizers and reporters as they stepped off their bus at a local motel.They were kept well away from reporters.The group has been under intense media scrutiny, in part because Bosnian Muslims in Quebec City thwarted an attempt by immigration officials to settle the Serbs in the provincial capital.Serbs, Croats and Muslims are currently pitted against each other in a bitter civil war which has torn Yugoslavia apart.The refugees in Quebec City protested last week and Quebec immigration officials decided to send the Serbs to Sherbrooke.\u2018LAST MINUTE\u2019 \u201cWe decided to do this at the last minute\u201d because of the intense media attention, immigration ministry spokeswoman Marie-Claude Hansenne told reporters after being asked why the refugees were being paraded before the cameras like cattle.\u201cIt\u2019s not us who wanted to make a show,\u201d Hansenne added.- In an interview earlier, re- Marie-Claude Hansenne.\u2018Last minute.\u2019 gional immigration director Claude Larose said \u201cthere will be no interviews\u201d with the Serbs because they had gone through so much difficulty.Ester Mikes (pronounced \u2018Me-kesh\u2019), who acted as the Serbs\u2019 interpreter, said the media attention went largely unnoticed.\u201cThey said it didn\u2019t bother them,\u201d Mikes said.\u201cThey're tired.\u201d Néo-Canadien director Hélène Jacob said in a telephone interview later the Serbs were well informed about the attention they would face.\u201cWe explained there would be press and not to be afraid,\u201d Jacob said.SERBS WERE ASKED Prior to their Sherbrooke arrival, group members were asked whether anyone wanted to speak with reporters but they declined, she said.But reporters weren't allowed to ask the Serbs themselves if they wanted others to know of their plight.Several of the Serbs looked pale, tired and gaunt.They first met in a Serb refugee camp, Jacob said.Before that they had been held in Muslim and Bosnian prison camps, but were later freed in a prisoner exchange.They left their war-torn country for Hungary, then flew to Toronto and rode the bus from there to Sherbrooke.Over the next several days Néo-Canadien volunteers will help the Serbs settle safely into apartments, register their children for school and answer as many questions as they can.The bus ride from Toronto was quiet, but the Serbs managed a few smiles as they became more relaxed, a Néo volunteer told reporters.Among the more frequently asked questions was whether they could fish in local rivers.translator Mikes said.Other questions dealt with learning French, buying cars and finding an apartment.Tired Serb refugees from wartorn former Yugoslavia arrived in Sherbrooke Wednesday.RECORD/GRANT SIMEON Murder trial: Concordia people are glad it\u2019s over MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The photograph leaning against a wall Wednesday in Concordia University\u2019s downtown Hall Building suggested some of the changes Valery Fabrikant wrought just under a year ago.The photograph shows the mechanical engineering department\u2019s staff \u2014 some new faces have been added; some of the old are gone.Among the missing are Jaan Saber, who was shot to death last Aug.24, and Fabrikant, who was convicted Wednesday of killing Saber and three other colleagues.News of Fabrikant\u2019s convic- FABRIKANT: Continued from page one came to the decision it did.\u201d .He referred to the sentence As \u2018\u2018almost a death sentence\u201d because of his age.: \u201cI have no doubt that these four victims \u2014 and I am the fifth one \u2014 were sacrificed.It was planned and deliberate, but not on my part,\u201d he said in a tobotic voice coated with a heavy Russian accent.Fabrikant received 12 years for attempted murder and seven each for the forcible confi- hement convictions, to be ser- yed concurrently with the life sentence.Six contempt of court citations amounting to more than two years will also be served concurrently with the life sentence.: The jury\u2019s decision brought to a close a bizarre trial that often veered far from the facts of the shooting rampage.- Fabrikant, the author of two books, marshalled all the energies of an accomplished scientist \u2014 and used all the legal means at his disposal \u2014 to argue he was the victim of an an tion on first-degree murder and other charges travelled quickly through the building.With the news came \u2018\u2018relief that it\u2019s over,\u201d electrical engineering department secretary Carleen DeVan said.\u2018And a little bit of apprehension: what will happen when it goes to appeal?\u201d DeVan\u2019s memories of last Aug.24 \u2014 she was in the building when the killing happened \u2014 are still vivid enough that, given her druthers, she wouldn\u2019t be talking about it at all.\u201cIt\u2019s something you want to put behind you and get on with, but it\u2019s not easy.Now with the verdict, the media will be coming around again, asking questions, and that doesn\u2019t help.\u201d Fabrice Christen, a graduate student who dropped by the mechanical engineering office near the new A.J.Saber Lounge, said the trial has been a frequent topic of conversation \u2014 \u2018\u2018how ridiculous it was becoming, how long it was taking.\u201d Though he said Fabrikant\u2019s conviction came as a relief, Christen was one of several students who said they\u2019d heard rumors corroborating Fabri- kant\u2019s allegations of academic abuse at Concordia.Nobody interviewed said such abuses could excuse four murders.Many, though, said the problem of insufficient credit for academic research \u2014 a favorite Fabrikant topic \u2014 still deserves investigation.\u201cWhatever we put into the work, almost invariably some name (appears on the research paper) that didn\u2019t do any work at all,\u201d\u2019 said an electrical engineering student who didn\u2019t want his name used.Donna Varrica, a university spokeswoman, said Concor- dia\u2019s board of governors voted in February to hold an an internal inquiry on Fabrikant\u2019s allegations.The inquiry was delayed so as not to prejudice his trial, she said.Varrica said the inquiry \u2014 which will focus on university rules and procedures that affect its \u2018scientific and academic integrity\u201d \u2014 is to issue a report within six months of being struck.Fabrikant\u2019s wife, Maya Ty- ker, who attended the trial sporadically and stood by her husband throughout the controversy \u2014 declined to comment on the verdict Wednesday.\u201cNo, have a nice day,\u201d she said, before hanging up the intercom phone in her fifth-floor apartment.Fabrikant\u2019s neighbors said they were convinced the former professor was guilty, but they sympathized with Tyker, 34, and the couple\u2019s young son and daughter.\u201cIt was an atrocious crime,\u201d said the Fabrikants\u2019 next-door neighbor, retired businessman Casper Saltzman, 78.\u201cBut we all feel very badly about the family.They\u2019re innocent vie- tims.\u201d all-encompassing \u2018\u2018persecution\u201d by Concordia faculty and administration.The judge, who cited Fabri- kant for contempt-of-court for being called a \u2018\u2018crook,\u201d \u2018\u2018a fat pig\u201d and the \u2018\u2018presiding Muppet,\u2019\u2019 angrily dismissed the provocation argument.\u201cToday your credentials are firmly established as a vicious murderer, a wretched man puffed up and transformed by the power of the gun into an artificial giant.\u201d Justice Martin then reeled off the names of the four vie- tims Fabrikant was convicted of fatally shooting when he coolly strode through the downtown ninth-floor engineering department with three handguns: Michael Hogben, Jaan Saber, Phoivos Ziogas and Matthew Douglas.\u201cWhere are they now?,\u201d he said in a courtroom packed with relatives of the victims, onlookers, and the media, \u201c\u2026Îor you and your anger and rage arrogated to yourself the right to snuff out their lives.\u201d A secretary was wounded in the shooting and two employees were taken hostage before Fabrikant was overpowered by one of the hostages.The unusual trial, marked by constant clashes between Martin and Fabrikant, was interrupted after two weeks when the judge ordered a sanity hearing for the accused.Psychiatric testimony suggested that Fabrikant suffers from a persecution complex but two of three psychiatrists said he was fit to stand trial and the jury agreed.Fabrikant has suggested he will appeal the decision because his defence was terminated by Martin and he was not allowed to testify.The judge ended the defence nearly two weeks ago after Fa- brikant had called 74 witnesses, ruling that his courtroom behavior had become too disruptive.Crown prosecutor Jean Le- cours backed the judge\u2019s decision, saying that to allow the defence any more latitude would have amounted to a circus.Fabrikant and his rights,\u201d he said.\u2018I think it\u2019s time to realize and emphasize the serious consequences of his crimes.\u201d The legal community was closely watching the trial and its outcome.Serge Ménard, a top Montreal criminal lawyer, said \u2018in an interview Wednesday that because Fabrikant defended himself, he was entitled to more leeway than a regular lawyer would receive.He applauded Martin\u2019s patience, saying \u2018\u2018it is better to err on the side of patience rather than undermine legal rights.\u201d However, the judge\u2019s decision to cut off the defence will likely be a matter of discussion in appeal court, Menard added.\u2018The case was totally unique owing to the intelligence and persistence of the accused.\u201d There seemed to be little doubt about the verdict even before the jury started deliberations on Tuesday.The Crown presented strong physical evidence and witnesses recounted how Fabri- kant coolly strode from office to office on the ninth floor of the university\u2019s downtown Hall building, shooting at selected targets with three handguns.In his final instructions, Martin instructed the jury to ignore much of the defence case, including Fabrikant\u2019s argument that he was provoked because of academic \u2018\u2018persecution\u2019 at the hands of the university administrators and faculty.A \u2018\u201c\u2018loss of temper is not, and cannever be, a valid excuse for murder,\u201d said Martin.And the judge drew the jury\u2019s attention to Fabrikant\u2019s remark in a phone call to the 911 operator immediately after the killings.\u201cI\u2019ve committed some murders and I want to tell the world why,\u201d he quoted the accused as saying.The jury was made up of 11 people \u2014 six women and five men.The 12th juror was excused early in the trial because of ill health.Murder trial lasted five months MONTREAL (CP) \u2014

disgust over Wednesday\u2019s defacing of tombstones in a military cemetery in Holland has spread quickly across the Atlantic into local homes.Margaret Pille, an executive member of the Knowlton

Talbot Street jail for filing too many complaints with guards.Guards and administrators said some inmates \u201cmade too much pressure and transfered them to another prison,\u201d Serge told the Record.Complaining at Talbot gets a prisoner in trouble, said Serge, who\u2019s doing time for theft and fraud.\u201cThe next thing you know they\u2019re transfered.\u201d Francois, inside for fraud, extortion and threatening, agreed and said guards \u201cplay with the rules.\u201d \u201cThe minute the guys ask for something\u201d they\u2019re shipped off.COULDN'T SAY Both could not say how many inmates have been transfered in such a manner.Neither could name an affected inmate because they said most are aquaintances known only by first names.Recent complaints have centred on access to an electrical outlet to plug in a kettle.Serge and Francois claim the only outlet is one more than seven feet off the ground used to power a the cemetery at Nijmegen to pay their respects.The incident occured just one month before the 49th anniversary of an ill-fated Allied raid on a German-held bridge over the Rhine river.Right-wing extremists Tuesday spray-painted graffiti on the tombstones of over 200 British and Allied soldiers who fell inthe Second World War battle, which raged for days around the town of Arnhem and neighboring Nijmegen.\u201cI had tears in my eyes.I could not understand

The solution lies in making the liquor board more efficient by getting rid of some of its huge staff and lowering its heavy costs.The way to do that would be to privatize such areas as its bottling and distribution divisions \u2014 and even franchising out some of its retail stores \u2014 but keep the main control in the hands of the provincial government.From What Canada Thinks, a regular

people in other parts of the world.\u2019 In Blyth, Ont., Fred Vander- sterre of the Christian Reformed Church persuaded members of the local United, Anglican, Roman Catholic and Church of God congregations to cover the cost of growing 4.6 hectares of corn and 1.2 hectares of barley.Local companies donated the land and seed and cut their prices for fertilizer, fuel and pesticides.Jean and Art Bennett of Sea- forth, Ont., head a project that involves all congregations in the community.They're paying farmers to grow 46 hectares of corn.Six farmers all turned out the same day to till and plant the field and \u2018\u2018they had great fun working together,\u201d said Jim Papple, a Seaforth-area farmer.MORE DONATIONS Papple is Ontario co-ordinator for the Canadian Foodgrains Bank, which began on the Prairies in the 1980s.From the 1989 harvest, 8,000 tonnes was donated to the Foodgrains Bank and by last year the total had grown to 22,000 tonnes.Al Derksen of Winnipeg, executive director of the bank, says the 22,000 tonnes came from only two per cent of Canada\u2019s farmers.He has set a goal to get five per cent \u2014 \u2018\u2018one farmer in 20\u201d\u2019 \u2014 involved.The Foodgrains Bank\u2019s projects originate with church groups like the Mennonite Central Committee, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace and the Lutheran World Relief.In support, the Ontario Grain and Feed Dealers Association has sent information kits to all grain elevator owners in Ontario explaining how the Foodgrains Bank works.\u201cWhat it takes is an enthusiastic elevator operator and one enthusiastic person in the community,\u201d says Papple.Rev.Nora Fueten of Brantford, Ont., said city congregations in the Hamilton Conference of the United Church are covering farmers\u2019 costs to grow grain, typically two hectares a project.GOOD EDUCATION \u201cIt\u2019s a good education for city people who don\u2019t know much about farming and don\u2019t even pay much attention to the weather, so they don\u2019t know if it\u2019s been a good season or not.\u201d Costs run around $450 a hectare for corn.A typical project is at St.George, about five kilometres north of Brantford.Don Graham, a retired management consultant for the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, interested five congregations and lined up a farmer to grow two hectares of corn.Churches help farmers grow food aid The non-farmers are planning a folk festival at the farm so they and their children can learn more about farming and the Food- grains Bank.At Ingersoll, Ont., a group of women plowed, seeded and sprayed seven hectares of corn this year.It\u2019s called the Ugali project, named after a gruel that Latin Americans make from corn.The project is supported by members of United, Pentecostal, Roman Catholic and Presbyterian congregations.Rev.Fueten said one of the most enthusiastic groups she has encountered is a United Church congregation in Kitchener that is growing 12 hectares of crops, including spring wheat, grain corn and some sweet corn.\u201cSome of the city people went out and picked stones this spring, they had a maple syrup festival and they\u2019re talking about holding a harvest festival.\u201d Today in history By The Canadian Press Petro-Canada became Canada\u2019s biggest service station owner when it bought 1,800 Quebec and Ontario stations from Gulf Canada eight years ago today \u2014 in 1985.An announcement from the office of Energy Minister Pat Carney confirmed the $886-million deal included four refineries in Western

mobilize to fight government cuts Seniors groups fighting government cutbacks are trying to mobilize the collective voice of the 3.2 million Canadians over age 65.By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press Canadian seniors preparing their campaign against government cutbacks will have to take on more than politicians if they are going to succeed.First, they have to convince the younger generation that older people aren\u2019t chronic whiners draining tax dollars to finance cushy lifestyles.\u201cWe keep hearing these stories about snowbirds (who winter in warmer climes),\u201d\u201d says Andrew Aitken, executive director of Ot- tawa-based One Voice, a seniors advocacy group which likens itself to the powerful American Association of Retired Persons.\u2018\u2018But there are very few snowbirds compared to older people who are sitting at home living in poverty.\u201d PUBLIC CAMPAIGN Seniors groups like One Voice are embarking on a campaign to convince the public and politicians that their issues aren\u2019t just seniors issues.\u201cWhen we talk about preserving universal programs, we're not just talking about seniors,\u201d Aitken says.\u201cWe are talking about users fees, cutbacks, and that just doesn\u2019t affect seniors, it affects everyone.\u201d Seniors groups say so much is at risk that they are trying to mobilize the collective voice of the 3.2 million Canadians over age 65.\u2018We are really geting geared up for the upcoming federal election,\u201d says Aitken, whose organization has prepared a Seniors Election Handbook to be delivered across Canada this month in anticipation of a fall election.In the line of fire will be provincial government cutbacks in health spending, restrictions on out-of-country medicare and elimination of necessary medications in drug plans.Kathleen Gubbins, a University of Alberta sociology graduate, wrote her master\u2019s thesis on the principle of maintaining fairness among generations in Canada.UNFAIR CONTRIBUTION?She said some people believe that seniors contribute unfairly to the country\u2019s economic problems.In the United States, she says, the elderly are often portrayed as a powerful group consumed by self-interest.The notion that seniors are well off is also common in Canada.\u201cContrary to what the public believes, there are a lot of seniors not doing well at all,\u201d Gubbins said in a recent interview.Fighting that perception is nothing new for Jack Parry, head of the Canadian Snowbird Association.Fortwo years he\u2019s been fighting cutbacks to what some provinces will pay for emergency treatment for Canadians outside the country.The notion that seniors are rich and spoiled, sunning themselves in Florida, doesn\u2019t acknowledge the fact that many of them live frugally in the United States on their savings.Some also live healthier lives and go to the doctor less than when in Canada, which ultimately saves Canadian tax dollars.\u2018\u201c\u201cMost doctors in Florida won\u2019t even recognize medicare cards,\u201d\u2019 Parry says.\u201cYou have to pay upfront in cash and hopefully be reimbursed by your province later.\u201d WIDESPREAD POVERTY Aitken said recent statistics show that 41 per cent of Canadian seniors are living below the poverty line.\u201cEver since the Conservative government began clawing back seniors\u2019 pensions, we\u2019ve seen a chipping away of their gains,\u201d says Lillian Morgenthau, president of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons.\u201cSeniors have no paycheque coming in, they don\u2019t have extra money and they are being taxed and clawed back to such a degree they will have nothing left to live on,\u2019 she says.In some provinces, spending has beeen cut in institutions serving the elderly, including nursing homes.One Voice is urging seniors to attend political rallies and candidates\u2019 meetings to raise their concerns and get commitments on issues.It\u2019s a more subtle approach than the march on Parliament Hill in 1985 which persuaded the government to retain provisions that protect old age pensions from inflation.\u2018Fo do a march on the Hill has limited success these days,\u201d says Aitken.\u2018The one in 1985 was perfect because it was really focused and was held at the right time.\u201d DELAYED VICTORY While the marchers won their battle at the time, it was only four years later when the Conservative government announced the GST and the \u2018\u2018tax back\u201d of the old age pension from seniors with incomes over $50,000.Cutting back services for seniors today will affect generations to come, seniors\u2019 advocates say, as benefits are eroded and the cost of living rises.While 10 per cent of Canadians today are 65 and older, that\u2019s expected to double to 20 per cent by the year 2025.\u201cBy the year 2020 when the country is awash with elderly baby boomers, the clawback will hit seniors with incomes as low as $23,000 and will remove the entire old age pension from those with incomes of $49,000 or more,\u201d says a recent report by an Ottawa- based social policy group.PES ~- cm mmm 2 A6 mse 1110 Tee a i mms \u201ctune MAS AAAI.nS Ye 0 Le 1 Farm and

with $1 million in new money to ease its financial woes, just days after squeezing major contract concessions from its employees.Publisher Lise Bissonnette acknowledged this is not the first time the paper has been on the brink of financial disaster and it probably won\u2019t be the last.\u2018For 83 years since its founding in 1910 by Henri Bourassa, Le Devoir has been in an al- most-constant state of financial fragility,\u201d Bissonnette told a news conference.\u201cWe don\u2019t see this latest crisis as anything more than part of the continuing challenge.\u201d The $1 million in new financing comes from the Quebec Federation of Labor, the Desjardins credit union movement and private investors, board chairman Pierre Bourgie said.The labor federation\u2019s Solidarity Fund, its investment arm, will kick in $350,000, the Mouvement Desjardins $200,000 and three private investors will add another $450,000.Among the private supporters, Bourgie\u2019s own family which owns a chain of funeral parlors in Quebec will put in $125,000 and Charles Sirois, president of Teleglobe Inc., will invest $250,000 through his personal holdings.ANONYMOUS BACKER Bourgie said the third pri- FINANCIAL PLANNING By Frank Cameron Chartered Financial Planner Owning your own home is a worthy objective \u2014 but not necessarily a good investment.In fact, whether you buy a home or rent one requires a great deal of careful thought.The best course of action depends entirely on your individual circumstances.For example, if your job or occupation calls for you to do a lot of travelling, you may be far better off to rent either a house or an apartment.On the other hand, if you hold a steady job with a company that seems to have a good future, or you own your own business in a progressive community, then you should consider buying a home.One of the great thrills in life is that feeling you have when you move into your own home for the first time.However, before you make the purchase you should weigh the advantages and disadvantages.On the plus side is the psychological factor, the deep satisfaction you get from home ownership, especially if you like to garden and tinker around with home improvements.The satisfaction will be all that much greater if you made a good buy.In other words you bought the house at a reasonable price and the cost of the mortgage is well within your means.As a general rule you should only buy a property that is three times your annual income.Keep in mind that there are many other costs associated with home ownership in addition to your monthly mortgage payments.Such things as municipal taxes, utility costs and upkeep of the house and garden.These costs should be established or calculated before you make an actual purchase.And what\u2019s equally important is to check out the general neighbourhood.If it is starting to deteriorate you may have great difficulty in selling the house later on.To buy or to rent lots to consider The last thing you\u2019ll want happen is to suffer a loss if you're forced to sell your home.Ideally, you should have a capital gain when the time comes for you to sell the house.That gain is tax-free.Right now it is a buyer\u2019s market for housing in most parts of Canada.That means you may have difficulty getting a good price for your home, if you want to sell it so that you can move into larger, better accommodation or move to another community.This is the sort of situation which makes many Canadians wonder whether they\u2019d be better off renting, instead of having a large sum of money tied up in a home.There are certainly some advantages to renting.Your costs are clearly laid out and you should have money to invest after all your living expenses are covered.These savings can grow substantially, if the money is soundly invested.Probably the best investment you can make these days is to have your money in mutual funds.In time, of course, you may decide that the advantages of owning a home outweigh advantages of renting.By then you should have saved enough money for a good-sized down payment on a home.But professional financial planners recommend that you should keep some of your savings still at work in your investment portfolio rather than have all your money tied up in a house.There is such a thing as being \u201chouse poor\u201d.That means having all of your capital tied up in your home, and too much of your income going to mortgage payments and other housing costs.Because buying a house is usually the largest single investment Canadians make in a lifetime, it is a good idea to take plenty of time in reaching a decision.Frank Cameron is a Chartered Financial Planner with Investors Group.Loonie dives cs deep By The Canadian Press Hereisa

\u2018\u2018almost certainly means the provincial government\u2019s Société de developpe- ment industriel will hand over the second half of the $750,000 loan it agreed to pay last January.\u201d The government agency almost put Le Devoir into bankruptcy last week when it told management that, becauseof a $500,000 deficit run up in the past six months, the remaining $375,000 wouldn't be paid.A number of glum-looking employees sat in on the news conference, watching Bisson- nette and Bourgie talk about how Le Devoir is ready \u2018\u2018to take off and find new readers and advertisers.\u201d After a tough weekend of negotiations with Bissonnette, the journalists agreed to accept over 60 changes in their labor contract which will reduce costs at the paper by an estimated $800,000 a year.The changes include a wage : freeze until the end of 1994, increased hours of work to 37.5 per week from 32.5, plus working overtime at regular wages.However, the journalists are most upset about two other concessions Bissonnette demanded.The first allows Le Devoir to hire more freelance writers and the second allows management to refuse to pay staffers who have been permanently or temporarily suspended from their jobs.The journalists\u2019 union argues this will give management an almost-free hand to control their working conditions.Editor-in-chief Bernard Des- coteaux agreed there might be a morale problem in the newsroom in the coming weeks but he said it will pass.\u201cYes, some people were hurt by these negotiations, but we believe we can work it out,\u201d said Descoteaux.Le Devoir hit the streets Wednesday after suspending publication Saturday.In a front-page editorial, Bis- sonnette appealed to readers to not only love the paper, but subscribe to it, advertise in it and become a shareholder.\u201cIn other words, Le Devoir needs fuel to reach its cruising speed and it won\u2019t just find it blowing in the wind,\u201d she wrote.The paper has had a persistent problem attracting advertisers because it sells a meagre 30,000 copies on weekdays compared to the top-selling Le Journal de Montreal whose circulation is 10 times that number.Wednesday\u2019s edition poked fun at reports that newspaper magnate Conrad Black was interested in buying the cash- strapped paper.A front-page cartoon depicted Black buying a copy of the paper.As he flicks his coin at the

year again, when neighbors avoid those they see coming up the walk with a box of long, skinny, green vegetables to give away.That\u2019s right.It\u2019s zucchini time! People who use zucchini tend to have a wide range of recipes, says Al Lypchuk, general manager of the B.C.Interior Vegetable Marketing Agency Cooperative.Uses range from lightly stir- frying the pulp, to imaginative use in salads, bread, muffins and even as a moistener in talking about is human health,\u201d Michelle Swenarchuk, the association\u2019s acting director, said during a news conference.BACKS UP OPPOSITION Ontario\u2019s NDP government regards the report as reinforcing its opposition to the deal.The province\u2019s environment minister, Bud Wildman, said he\u2019s \u2018\u201c\u2018particularly concerned that our ability to institute policies and legislation to protect the environment is constrained by NAFTA.\u201d As one example of pressure to lower standards, the study notes an Ontario Ministry of Labor proposal to tighten exposure limits to 101 hazardous substances in the workplace.Business briefs on the proposals have been negative \u2018\u2018and often include direct threats to relocate to the more friendly U.S.and other provincial jusri- dictions,\u201d the study said.The report also says the North American agreement will weaken environmental rules and tests by shifting responsibility for setting standards to unaccountable international bodies, some of which are dominated by corporations.Under a North American trade agreement, as under the current free-trade deal, environmental programs can be challenged as trade barriers.The report gives examples of environmental initiatives already caught up in U.S.trade sanctions, such as pollution abatement programs in the St.Lawrence River and their role in U.S.challenges to Canadian magnesium exports.\u2018\u2018As this study shows, the U.S.remains free to use its trade-remedy laws, as it has up to now, to the detriment of the be picked, used and eaten when they are, at most, 20 centimetres long.SASKATOON (CP) \u2014 A bumper berry crop across central Saskatchewan this summer has at least one food processor looking to tap what he says are unlimited global markets for berries and concentrates derived from them.Abe Dyck of Saskatoon Fresh Pack Potatoes Ltd.says the province\u2019s berry production potential could be worth millions of dollars and go a long way to helping diversify prairie agriculture.Le Groupe Mallette Maheu Consumer taxes | VISION \u2026 makes all the difference !

8\u2014The RECORD\u2014Thursday, August 12, 1993 Living Becord First symptoms: lightheadedness, goosebumps, nausea.Heat stroke 1s major summer danger for seniors By Dr.Suzi Vassallo For The Associated Press If you think heat stroke is a risk only for athletes, think again.Others in danger from high-heat days include sedentary older people, patients taking a variety of medications, persons using illicit drugs \u2014 and anyone who overdoes things on a hot day.The classic example of heat stroke involves a person working out vigorously in the heat of the day who ignores the initial symptoms: lighthea- dedness, goosebumps, nausea and growing confusion of thoughts that leads to bizarre speech and behavior.If the person doesn\u2019t get to a shady place and cool down, the problem can progress to vomiting, seizures, collapse and coma \u2014 and requires immediate emergency treatment.But in an urban area, the more likely victim is an older person living alone in an apartment that doesn\u2019t have air conditioning.Older people are more vulnerable to heat stroke because their body\u2019s heat control mechanisms are less efficient than when they were young.In addition, many older people take medications that reduce the body\u2019s ability to respond to heat.These include beta blockers, calcium channel blockers and diuretics, all of which are taken for chronic heart conditions such as high blood pressure.Other medications that can blunt the body\u2019s responses include antihistamines and even nasal decongestants, and an older person wholives alone may not notice the early symptoms that a companion would pick up.Athletes can reduce the risk by working out in the cooler morning or evening hours, taking lots of liquids and having frequent rest periods.DRINK WATER It\u2019s important for both older people and athletes to drink a lot of water, minimize exposure to excess heat by using a fan, or by sitting in a cool place and to be aware that the danger exists.In every case, the best preventive is an alert companion who detects the early warning signs.For athletes, it could be another team member.For older people, it could be a relative or friend who telephones or visits regularly.Heat stroke can be prevented y some simple measures: cool down by applying ice, wetting the clothing, going to an air-conditioned room or drinking plenty of water.If the early warning signs are ignored and a person collapses, an immediate trip to a hospital emergency department is essential.Emergency medical personnel will often place the patient in an ice bath until body temperature drops below 38.8 C, from the 41 C or higher found in heat stroke victims.Treatment must be decisive, because heat stroke can cause delayed problems such as kidney failure and bleeding, and in a worst case scenario, prove fatal.® Dr.Suzi Vassallo is an instructor in clinical surgery at New York University Medical Centre.\u2018New artificial heart Police racism gets high-tech attention totally implantable?; \u2018 By Dennis Bueckert ; OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Resear- *chers at the Ottawa Heart Ins- -titute have signed an agreement with CAE Inc.of Toronto : to produce what they say is the ;world\u2019s first totally implan- \u201ctable artificial heart.If the device passes testing and regulatory requirements it will be a major improvement : over existing artificial hearts, : which must be attached to cumbersome control equipment outside the patient\u2019s body.We hope to have approval far use in humans by 1996 or 1897,\u201d said Wilbert Keon, director of the heart institute, at ænews conference Wednesday.\u201cThis is a very significant eyent for us.\u201d \u201cHeart disease is the leading cause of death and the potential demand for the device is enormous.CAE estimates that potential sales are in the order of 50,000 annually in North America alone.TOTALLY IMPLANTABLE »Keon noted that several other research groups around re world are also working on artificial heart technology but it.appears that the heart insti- \u2018tute\u2019s version, known as EVAD, is the only one to be totally implantable.Called an electrohydraulic Yentricular assist device ÆVAD), the machine would allow the patient to leave hospital re CR J and carry on a normal life.The batteries in the heart are recharged by a device which is held against the body and sends electromagnetic waves through the chest.\u201cIt sends the power inside without making any hole,\u201d said Tofy Mussivand, leader of the research team.The patient need only wear a beeper to remind him when the batteries are low.They last seven or eight hours.The heart can detect how much oxygen the body needs and when the need for oxygen increases, for example during physical activity, it pumps harder.It\u2019s expected the machines would cost $50,000 each when first introduced commercially.Six months of hospital care for a heart patient can cost $75,000, and in such cases the artificial heart would save the health system money.Artificial hearts are currently used only to keep patients alive until a human organ can be found and transplanted.The number of people who could use transplants now far exceeds the number of donated hearts available.The heart institute has invested millions of dollars developing the technology, but stands to reap a great deal more if the device is successful.Its royalties will be seven per cent of sales.Monster Truck Shootout Country Legend Show Tammy Wynette Horseshoe Tournament Crosswinds Robinson\u2019s Racing Pigs Horse

Ont.(CP) \u2014 On a darkened city street, a police officer stops four young blacks in a shiny, speeding BMW.The officer plans to give the driver a warning, but he makes a mistake.\u201cWhose car is this?\u201d he asks.The question \u2014 which some motorists might accept as routine \u2014 sounds laden with racist overtones to the car\u2019s occupants.To them it suggests the caris stolen, which it isn\u2019t.They refuse to show identification.The officer\u2019s mistake in this imaginary scenario was exposed using an interactive computer program intended to sensitize police to discrimination and stereotyping.CLASSROOM BETTER It\u2019s a lesson better learned in a classroom setting than on the street, says Const.John Hagar- ty, chairman of the Police Association of Ontario and an officer in nearby Stratford.\u2018\u201c\u201cThat\u2019s the beauty of laser disc training,\u201d he says.\u201cYou can go through it in a quiet building in 15 minutes.It will show you the mistakes you have made, and the options you should have chosen.\u201d Hagarty helped design Two- Way Streets, an interactive computer program that will be on display Friday at the police association\u2019s annual convention in London.The association developed the program in partnership with the race relations and policing unit of Ontario\u2019s Ministry of the Solicitor General.Simple awareness, says Ha- garty, could save officers trouble and departments a lot of bad publicity.LASER DISC In Two-Way Streets, video images are controlled by laser disc computer technology.The officer sits before a video screen at a computer terminal and the computer presents options to the user throughout the scenario.The user types in a choice and the exercise proceeds.But the behavior of compu- ter-generated offenders in each exercise varies according to decisions its users make.For instance, if the officer chooses a statement containing the words \u2018\u2018you people,\u201d the driver and passenger may become unco-operative.Two-Way Streets \u2014 currently being distibuted to police departments across the Ontario \u2014 offers three exercises, all traffic scenarios.However, Hagarty says the technology could be applied to other sensitive policing areas such as gun handling, personal searches and questioning.PUBLIC CONTACT \u201cWe chose highway and traffic because that\u2019s where police departments make most of their public contact.\u201d The entire package of computer, monitor and discs costs about $5,000.The province will foot about $3,500 of that.London police have ordered the system and hope to have it up and running this fall, says Insp.Dan Vickery, head of the department\u2019s personnel and training division.\u201cI was impressed with the quality of the images and the audio,\u201d he says.\u2018Nothing can duplicate an actual situation, but anything we can do to prepare our people will help out.\u201d The program will be especially useful for new officers, adds Vickery.\u201c\u201cWe could send out a guy with a coach officer for a year and he might not come across a situation he needs to handle sensitively.I see it as a very valuable tool.\u201d Doctor studied \u2018how anger was learned\u2019 Test tries to identify violent men - VANCOUVER (CP) \u2014 Men don\u2019t beat up women because the patriarchal system encourages them to or because most men
