raiders conquer UN house By Reid Miller MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) \u2014 For the UN military command in Somalia, the predawn raid on a two-storey villa in southern Mogadishu was \u2018\u201c\u2018a textbook example of how these operations should go.\u201d For Canadian Larry DeBoice and eight other UN employees, it was a long night in hell.Fifty helicopter-borne American soldiers raided the house and an adjoining office under an almost full moon early Monday morning, apparently thinking they were a command and control centre for fugitive warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid.They weren\u2019t.They were the residence and office of DeBoice and three other foreign employees of the UN Development Program, one of many UN agencies operating in Somalia.\u201cOur information is that they thought it was a command and control centre,\u201d DeBoice said in Mogadishu.\u201cWe weren't asked.We were told to shut.\u201d DeBoice from Banff, Alta., and his colleagues were awakened by the roar of helicopters \u2014 more than a dozen of them by the UN military\u2019s count.*\u201cThen we got some concussion grenades and shots in the house,\u2019 DeBoice said.\u2018\u2018At that point we knew something was going on right here.\u201d DeBoice said some of the raiders landed on the roof of the villa from ropes suspended from helicopters, others smashed through doors on the ground floor.DeBoice, 45, said he and his colleagues had their hands bound behind their backs with plastic cuffs and were told \u2018\u2018to keep our heads down and not look at anybody.\u201cI don\u2019t think there was any doubt in anybody\u2019s mind that if we said anything, looked at anybody, moved, we\u2019d be shot,\u201d he said.\u201cThose dudes were serious.\u201d More than half an hour later, DeBoice said he was finally allowed to talk and explained that he, his foreign colleagues and five Somali guards and household help were all UN employees.Despite that, he said, \u201cwe 40 cents ral politicians have

Larry Johnsrude EDMONTON (P) \u2014 Prime Minister Kim Campbell moved a step closer Monday to calling a federal election by promising harsher sentences for young offenders and reinstating the court challenges program.Campbell, in the second of two major speeches she wanted to give before calling a federal vote, said tougher sentences for violent young offenders are needed to restore public confidence in the justice system.\u2018\u2018Canadians look to their streets and their schools and their society and they believe safety may be slipping away,\u201d the former justice minister told a sellout crowd of 600 at an Edmonton Chamber of Commerce luncheon.\u201cThey want their system of justice to protect them better.\u201d She said the act will be changed to extend the sentences now available for murder to other serious offences involving personal injury.The federal court challenges program \u2014 which financed minority and disadvantaged groups wanting to mount court challenges to establish their rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms \u2014 fell victim to federal budget cuts in 1992.The revamped Charter Law Development program will be run as a non-profit agency at arms-length from government.\u2018The purpose here is not to encourage unnecessary and costly court cases.The purpose is to make Charter law more clear.\u201d Campbell\u2019s comments seemed to be politely received by the crowd of business people.She also promised to change the Young Offenders Act to allow the use of victim impact statements in sentencing, to more rigorously supervise young offenders after their release and to retain records of serious offenders longer.\u201cThe Young Offenders Act works well in the majority of cases.However, it must work were literally thrown on top of

give answers on how four Somali civilians died at the hands of Canadian soldiers.\" Nor is it likely to clear up charges by opposition MPs that there was a coverup attempt and that Prime Minister Kim Campbell, who was defence minister at the time, was part of it.The report, based on 3,500 pages of testimony, represents PM: Why would I cover up Somalia payoff?\u2014 Page 2 better,\u201d she said.Campbell\u2019s law and order address followed an earlier announcement Monday from Reform party Leader Preston Manning.Manning proposed the Young Offenders Act make 10-year- olds criminally responsible for their actions, a drop from the previous threshold of 12.He also called for 16 and 17-year-olds to be tried as adults.The act now covers people from their 12th to 18th birthdays.Both speeches follow a Statistics Canada report released Monday morning saying that the crime rate dropped in 1992.However, violent crime went up.Opposition parties called Campbell\u2019s proposals minor changes that will do nothing to combat the rise of violent crime.\u2018\u201cCanadians are going to be let down,\u201d said Liberal justice critic Russell MacLellan.\u2018\u2018What we want are answers to the increasing crime rate in Canada.The prime minister did not give those today.She didn\u2019t even give any indication of how she is going to make changes.\u201d NDP justice critic Ian

was rebuffed by the Federal Court of Ca- \u2018nada.On Sunday and Monday : Campbell warded off charges + that the government was still \u2018\u2019attempting a coverup by bu- ' rying details of a

would.\u201d She said it was an acknowledgement of a wrongful death but didn\u2019t imply the four Canadian soldiers facing court martial in his death are guilty.Campbell, on a pre-election swing through the West, continued to be dogged by questions over her knowledge of the compensation and why it wasn\u2019t announced last June, while she was running for the Conservative party leadership.$15,000 US in compensation last June.\u201cI had instructed my department to make public all that should be made public,\u201d she said.Whether the report will deal with charges that some of the members of the regiment are members of white supremist organizations is unknown.Four soldiers have been charged with murder, torture and neglect of duty in the case of a Somali man who died of a beating while being held in a detention cell.Court martial proceedings for Master Cpl.Clayton Mat- chee, Pte.Ervin Brown, Sgt.Mark Boland and Pte.David Brocklebank will be held this fall.Military police are still studying the March 4 shooting of anotherSomali civilian.As well, a paratrooper died after he was shot in the head by a comrade whose rifle went off while he was cleaning it.She called the payment \u2018\u2018a technical matter\u2019\u2019 within her former department.She said it wasn\u2019t her responsiblity to see that it was publicized.\u201cThe minister does not address himself or herself to the question of what press releases have gone out each day,\u201d she said.The Defence Department acknowledged last week the family of Shidans Omar Arone was paid $15.000 US last June 7.while Campbell was still defence minister.The compensation is the equivalent to 100 camels, in accordance to Somali custom.Campbell had promised full disclosure after Arone died March 16 in a military holding cell in the African country.Four members of the Canadian Airborne Regiment, stationed in Somalia from January to June as part of an international peacekeeping force, face military trials this fall on charges of murder and torture.Military officials said Arone was caught trying to sneak into a Canadian compound.Campbell said the military accepts responsiblity for his death but isn\u2019t prejudicing the trials of the four peacekeepers.\u201cThere are two questions: One \u2014 whether there was a wrongful death.Secondly, who bears the legal responsibility for that death.That has not been determined yet,\u201d\u2019 she said.\u201cThe Canadian military was prepared to accept after investigation that there was a wrongful death.That\u2019s when the decision was to treat the death as a homicide.\u201d She said the decision on compensation \u2018\u2018was Just something done in the normal course of business, and done appropriately, and done under the appropriate criteria.\u201d \u201cIt was not, in my view, one of the most significant aspects of that very very unhappy scenario,\u201d she added.She said the criminal investigation is being vigorously pursued.\u2018The criminal investigation and the inquiry into the overall conduct of our forces there is something that we took very seriously and put into place the appropriate processes,\u201d she said.RAIDERS: said, said.In Washington, a Defence Department official said military intelligence officers had expected to capture some of Ai- did\u2019s lieutenants.But he conceded they were wrong and the mission missed its target.In the highly co-ordinated lightning strike, elite U.S.troops dropped from their helicopters on ropes before dawn on \u2014 oops! \u2014 the building housing UN personnel.\u2018I\u2019m sorry,\u2019\u201d\u2019\u2019 DeBoice The chief UN military spokesman, Maj.David Stockwell, nevertheless described the raid as as \u2018\u2018a successful operation.\u201d The building\u2019s entrance is marked by a sign identifying it as a project office of the UN Development Program, one of many UN agencies operating in Somalia.Stockwell said the building was in an \u2018\u2018unauthorized area.\u201d \u201cI think it possible that the soldiers conducting this search were not aware of the identify of the people in the building since it was in an unauthorized area,\u201d he said.\u2018They were searching a place they had every reason to believe was hostile and they acted appropriately until they determined otherwise,\u2019 Stockwell said.Stockwell declined to characterize the objective of the mission, which involved more than a dozen helicopters and about 50 soldiers, including U.S.Rangers and troops from the army\u2019s Quick Reaction Force.It was the Rangers first mission since arriving in Somalia last week.Asked if he would categorically say the objective was not the capture of fugitive warlord Mohamed Farrah Aidid, Stockwell replied: \u2018\u2018No, what I\u2019m saying is that.I will not go into detail on the purpose of our operation.\u201d An Egyptian woman, who would identify herself only as the administrative officer of the raided UN compound, said she and other foreign employees were tied up and forced to lie on the floor.No one was hurt in the action, and the woman said the troops \u201cacted properly,\u201d although she acknowledged being terrified.She declined to give her name \u201cbecause I'm not.authorized to make statements.\u201d Reporters visiting the walled, two-storey villa found several empty shotgun shells on the floor of the entrance, windows blown out, the telephone and radio destroyed and vehicles damaged by gunfire.Reporters watching from the rooftop of their hotel a kilometre away saw soldiers slither down ropes from helicopters hovering over the rooftop of the UN building.\u2018The 3 a.m.raid came after an earlier mortar attack by Somali militiamen on Mogadishu\u2019s old international airport, now a bustling UN military encampment.Stockwell said three Rangers were slightly injured by flying gravel from the explosions, treated at an army field hospital and released.The raided building is in an area of southern Mogadishu long considered a stronghold of Aidid, wanted by the UN for a series of ambushes on June 5 that killed 24 Pakistani peacekeepers.Chrétien crosses

any day.Looking physically tired as well as tired of the question, Chrétien said he played no part in hatching a plan among the other provinces to patriate the Constitution without Quebec\u2019s

one in 100 chance of being a victim of violent crime.Violent crimes made up 10.8 per cent of all non-traffic Criminal Code offences.But about 57 per cent of violent incidents invoived minor assaults with no weapons or serious physical injuries.Crime rates varied from a high of 15,801 offences per 100,000 people in British Columbia to a low of 6,418 per 100,000 in Newfoundland.In total, police reported 2.8 million incidents in 1992 or 10,394 per 100,000 population.À year earlier there were 10,735 incidents per 100,000 people.Reporting of property crimes such as break-ins, possession of stolen goods, fraud and theft fell 4.4 per cent.The rate of crimes such as mischief, vandalism, disturbing the peace and prostitution dropped 2.5 per cent.The rate of impaired driving offences dropped 7.3 per cent, the ninth consecutive year that such crimes have decreased.And the rate of drug-related incidents fell 2.4 per cent.Statistics Canada warned the figures may not reflect actual crime levels.Surveys have shown that only about one-third of violent crimes are reported.Also, changing public attitudes influence crime rates.Jumps in the reported number of spousal and sexual assaults have been attributed to more women coming forward and police taking them more seriously.BY GARRY TRUDEAU Get your sun early as clouds roll in Tuesday afternoon.There\u2019s a 40 per cent chance of

Ottawa, Quebec join hands in farm marketing By Rita Legault WATERVILLE \u2014 The federal and provincial governments will spend $40 million to help Quebec farmers and food processors compete better and conquer domestic and international markets.Quebec Agriculture Minister Yvon Picotte, his federal counterpart Charles Mayer and federal Industry Minister Jean Charest announced the $40- million agri-food development plan at the award-winning Bes- sette Brothers dairy farm in Waterville Monday.7 Jacques Proulx.\u2018The challenges we face are enormous.\u2019 The deal was worked out at the July meeting of agriculture ministers in Charlottetown.It includes an agreement to reduce duplication in the areas of inspection and international trade.It also provides more funding for research, and increased use of new farm technologies and innovations.But the Quebec farmers union said the agreement, which follows one on economic and regional development which expired in 1991, took far too long to negotiate.NOT ENOUGH While he didn\u2019t exactly say the deal was too little too late, Union des Producteurs Agricoles president Jacques Proulx said there wasn\u2019t enough money and the deal was too long in the making.\u201cI want to be clear, we aren\u2019t disappointed because we hoped for undue generosity from our governments,\u201d he said.\u201cWe are disappointed because the challenges we face are enormous \u2014 take, for example, the need to compete in a growing world market.\u201d Proulx, who was invited to the press conference to react to the deal, reminded the ministers that the Quebec Agricultural Summit in June 1992 identified the need for $50 million in assistance to help farmers remain competitive in more and more global marketplace.He said the $40 million fell short of the mark.While the cabinet ministers tried to take their share of cre- t dit for the deal, Proulx said it came about mainly due to the tenacity and energy of farm leaders and rural people.MORE MONEY?Proulx also said he hopes;the governments.will be forced to supplement the program if demand for research funds is great and proposals are worthwhile.And, he added, he hoped the program

of the Eastern Townships since 1897 A Tell me something I don\u2019t know Kim Campbell and Jean Chrétien have done a lot of talking recently about what Canadians want.They should stop.Frankly, it\u2019s condescending.On Monday, for example, the Prime Minister announced it was time to get tough on young criminals.Earlier in the day Statistics Canada released figures showing a slight increase in violent crime over the past year.The Prime Minister said \u201cCanadians\u201d want to feel safe walking down the street at night.Yes, Kim, they do \u2014 same as the Americans, British, Chinese and people from cities and villages all over the world, wherever roads exist.Touring in Quebec the same day, Chrétien announced once again that Canadians want to talk about jobs, not the Constitution.Speaking in terms of what other people want shows a startling lack of leadership, originality and confidence for an aspiring (or current) prime minister.As the saying goes, tell me something I don\u2019t already know.Identifying the issues is not enough.What Canadians really want is a leader not afraid to take a stand and define the debate in areas they personally care about, such as Bill Clinton has done with health care reform in the United States.Campbell tried to step out during her campaign for the Conservative leadership but the best she could do was \u201ca new way of doing politics.\u201d Campbell\u2019s inability to be more precise with her phrase \u2014 which, if she\u2019s smart, surely won\u2019t be used in the federal campaign \u2014 shows how far political discourse in Canada has fallen.Politicians are having enough trouble defining issues, let alone finding solutions.Plying their trade in the shadow of Brian Mulroney's alternating nonchalance and overbearing partisan rhetoric, they have become so fixated on finding out what people want to hear that they have no time to lead.So a note of seemingly contradictory advice to candidates in the federal election: .trust your instincts.If you have to say anything about Canadians, tell them what you are going to do and how you are going to do it, not what they want.It will be far less embarassing for everyone involved.If Canada was a country made up entirely of teenagers there would have already been a rebellion.MARK BRENDER \u2014 \u2014_ TP By Bob Harvey Ottawa Citizen OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Former governor general Georges Vanier and his wife, Pauline, may someday be known as the most saintly couple ever to grace Rideau Hall, the home of Canada\u2019s governors general.Both are being investigated by the Roman Catholic Church as possible saints, and are one of the few married couples ever to both be considered for sainthood.The church first began investigating the life of Georges Vanier in 1986.This year an Ottawa theologian, Rev.Roger Quesnel, began a preliminary investigation of Pauline Vanier, as well.Quesnel has just returned from amonthin France, where Pauline lived the last 19 years of her life as a kind of grandmother to mentally handicapped men at L\u2019Arche, the community founded by her son Jean.Quesnel said he has interviewed about 40 people in both France and Canada, and plans to interview at least 15 more people who knew Vanier.Officially, the church does not accept a petition for sainthood until at least five years after someone has died.Georges Vanier died in 1967, while Pauline died two years ago at age 92.But Quesnel said Archbishop Marcel Gervais of Ottawa is aware of his investigations.Msgr.Roger Morin, chancellor of the diocese of Ottawa, is part of the committee promoting the Va- niers\u2019 cause for sainthood.The Vatican also has been informed.\u2018\u2018Rome seems to be very interested,\u201d said Quesnel.He said Pope John Paul has publicly expressed interest in finding married couples who could be canonized as models for other lay members of the church.The vast majority of the church\u2019s saints are either priests or nuns.The path to sainthood is long.Quesnel, 67, said he does not expect Pauline Vanier to be canonized in his lifetime.KNIGHTS OF MALTA Any individual or group in the church can petition a bishop to initiate a cause for sainthood.The committee promoting the Va- niers\u2019 cause is made up primarily of members of the Knights of Malta, a conservative Catholic group.Ottawa lawyer Jeffrey king is the chairman of the committee promoting the Vaniers.He says Pauline Vanier was \u2018\u2018one of the finest mothers and wives you could ever know.She was exemplary in every way.\u201d Rev.Jacques Monet, president of the University of Sudbury, is a historian who has spent several years working on the cause for sainthood of Georges Vanier.He says that after interviewing many people and examining much of Vaniers investigated as possible saints the Vaniers\u2019 voluminous correspondence, he sees no reason they shouldn\u2019t both be considered for sainthood.Monet said that Pauline Vanier put a particularly strong emphasis on caring for the poor.At the end of the Second World War, she had herself appointed the representative of the Canadian Red Cross in Paris, and worked 20-hour days caring for returned prisoners of war and returning French deportees.Many of them ended up staying at the Vaniers\u2019 apartment, while Georges Vanier was serving as Canada\u2019s ambassador to France.Rev.William Woestmann, a theologian at St.Paul University in Ottawa, has served as a consultant to three different Canadian causes for sainthood, as well as that of the Vaniers.He expects it will take at least 10 years to prepare the documentation that will be needed for Rome to consider the case.NA Is this the thanks they get?Kerri Sammon, a recent high school graduate in Ottawa, writes to the Ottawa Citizen of her concerns over what she sees as the cruel way in which many Canadians simply abandon their elderly parens in institutions: With such a big gap in generations, age and ideologies between senior citizens and teens, there are a few misconceptions that have arisen over the years.These must be corrected and some light shed on the point of view of the elderly person.I have heard it said that seniors are very much like children: They need care, they make messes and they complain when they don\u2019t get what they want.(Who doesn\u2019t?) If the elderly are like children at all, it is only because they need the same amount of love and attention that kids do.Sadly, this is something that a large number of people don\u2019t realize.Dozens of people drop off their parents at institutions and then make themselves scarce.No wonder the elderly have a tendency to become depressed.Never seeing your family and spending holidays alone is enough to get anyone down, no matter what age you are.Ifind it very hard to fathom how people can just abandon their parents.Is this the thanks they get for all the time, money and love they devoted to their children for years?What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press Today in history By The Canadian Press Dmitri Stepanovich Chuvakhin was named Soviet ambassador to

Political parties say they're going to implement a radical new advertising concept in the coming election campaign \u2014 the truth.Selling the prime minister and other party leaders with fluffy, heart-tugging, flag-waving television images won\u2019t work, say strategists.Partisan rhetoric won\u2019t work.Viciousness is out.\u2018People want straight talk,\u201d says Liberal spokesman Peter Donolo.\u201cI don\u2019t think people are in the mood for a lot of gimmicks.\u201d The leaders probably won't pull out charts and graphs to explain complex issues in their prime- time TV ads \u2014 a favorite tack of presidential candidate Ross Perot during last year\u2019s U.S.election.But analysts say depth and clarity in national party messages \u2014 which by law can begin with 29 days left in the campaign \u2014 will be ignored at the peril of politicians.GROWING INTEREST \u201cThere\u2019s a growing interest in advertising that is more truthful, conveying information rather than lifestyle like ads in the 1980s,\u201d says Donna Dasko, a pollster with Environics in Toronto.\u2018People want to know, \u2018What are you doing for me?\u2019\u201d Some see a reverse of the \u201980s trend toward shorter advertisements \u2014 this time taking a minute or more of air time to explain an issue rather than 15 seconds.\u201cWhat you could see is the use of videos \u2014 distributed door-to- door,\u201d says John Tory, chairman of the Conservative campaign.The Tories are trumpeting Kim Campbell as their big weapon after nine years of Brian Mulroney and controversial policies like the GST and free trade.Their challenge \u2014 with a budget of more than $10 million \u2014 is to centre advertising on her without being superficial.\u2018\u201cTo both focus on her and what she intends to do as prime minis- ter is a relatively easy task,\u201d in- Politicians decide to tr sists Tory.Liberals are spending $10 million to capitalize on their biggest advantage \u2014 they\u2019re not

that.\u201d Election issues \u201993 The Liberals say they\u2019ll save their horsepower for the last three weeks of the race, after the pivotal mid-campaign debates.New Democrats, who have $9 million to spend, got the jump on the other parties with commercials running in eight cities earlier this month.They portrayed the complaints of \u2018\u2018ordinary\u2019\u2019 Canadians about the wealthy, along with footage of NDP Leader Audrey McLaughlin \u201cThe message is Audrey has had a life experience very much like most of the people who are voting,\u201d says spokesman Ian McLeod, who admits the party is spending much less on television ads in Quebec than it did in 1988.So-called real people will also dominate Reform party ads purchased with a $6-million budget, says spokesman Allan McGirr.\u201cIt will not be simplistic but it will be simple,\u201d he says.\u201cWe'll strive to provide voters with a real choice.\u201cIt\u2019s the same kind of war that\u2019s going on with soft drinks.The generic brands are cheaper and they taste just as good.\u201d - FIRST OFF THE MARK Individual candidates could be first off the mark with ads.Restrictions on candidate advertising in the Elections Act were struck down in a recent Alberta court ruling, so they could launch their campaigns on a national scale to boost their party\u2019s exposure.\u201cMany will wait until the last month anyway,\u2019 predicted McLeod.Myriad fringe parties are eligible for advertising time, albeit a small portion of the 390 minutes that radio and television broadcasters are required to sell to political parties.y the truth And interest groups can spend as much as they like on advertising since the Alberta court ruled the restrictions infringe on freedom of speech, association and the right of a voter to make an informed choice.\u201cThat gag law is the litmus test,\u201d says David Somerville, president of the National Citizens\u2019 Coalition, the group that launched the legal battle against the Elections Act changes.\u2018\u201cThe issues are so fundamental that where a candidate stands is the measuring stick.\u201d FIGHT WASTE The coalition plans to launch a campaign fighting government waste, growing taxes and other issues.It will target specific ri- dings, especially the Calgary West riding of Jim Hawkes, chairman of an all-party committee on the election restrictions.\u201cWe think Parliament and Canada would be a safer place Without him.\u201d Businesses, which spent millions of dollars during the 1988 campaign to promote free trade with the United States, aren\u2019t expected to spend much this time since the issues are more diverse.Tories to avoid sex and violence By Jim Bronskill OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The Conservative party plans to avoid placing election ads on TV programs containing scenes of violence or explicit sex.The move stems from concerns raised by caucus members, national campaign co-chairman John Tory says in a letter to Tom Scott, campaign communications co- chairman.External Affairs Minister Per- rin Beatty and Quebec MP Jean- Marc Robitaille each wrote party president Gerry St-Germain earlier this year asking that the issue of violence be considered in advertising guidelines for the coming election.While communications minister, Beatty spoke out against excessive small-screen violence.He asked the government\u2019s advertising management group to draft a guideline stating that Ottawa wished to avoid advertising on programs containing violence or explicit sex.OBSERVE GUIDELINES \u2018\u2018In the spirit of our government\u2019s actions, I am writing to ask that you observe similar guidelines in the placement of our party\u2019s election advertising,\u201d Tory says in the July 15 letter released by the party Thursday.Spokesmen for the Liberals and NDP said the parties hadn't set policies on ad placement yet.It\u2019s often difficult to place advertisements on a show-by-show basis because of the way the ad- buying system works, said Gordon Ashworth of the Liberals.\u201cWe'll see what happens.\u201d Reform spokesman Ron Wood said TV violence wasn\u2019t a big concern among party members.\u201cIt\u2019s never come up as an issue.\u201d The National Action Group, formed in February to address the issue of violence, is working on an industry-wide code that would cover network and cable programming.Private broadcasters are also developing their own code.\u201cIn the absence of a code to date, I hope that you will exercise your best efforts in ensuring that our advertising in no way supports or encourages gratuitous violence or explicit sex on television,\u201d Tory says in the letter.Editorial | + Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Tuesday.August 31, 1993\u20145 Becord CRTC denies Bell Canada rate hike By Jim Bronskill \u2014-OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Millions of customers in Ontario and Quebec have been spared hefty rate increases for basic telephone service.The Canadian Radio- television and Telecommunications Commission denied Bell Canada permission Monday to boost residential rates by an average 40 per cent despite the company\u2019s plea that it needed the money to stay competitive.\u201cThe CRTC has acted to en- \u2018 sure that Canadian telephone subscribers are not asked to pay unjustified increases,\u201d commission chairman Keith Spicer said.Bell had asked for average monthly rate increases of $3.85, or about 40 per cent, for a single residential phone line and $6.50, or 25 per cent, for a single business line.The increases would have kicked in Wednesday.REVENUE LOSS The company said it needed to raise basic rates for the first time in 10 years because of the recession and the loss of long- distance revenues \u2014 traditionally used to subsidize local service \u2014 to new competition.But the CRTC said Bell had overestimated potential market-share losses.The commission also rejected a Bell proposal to widen the local calling area surrounding three major centres.Customers in the Montreal, Ottawa-Hull and Toronto areas would have paid extra fees under the arrangement, known as the community calling plan.Bell had said that in many cases the increases would be offset by elimination of long- distance charges between communities within 65 kilometres of the urban core.The CRTC concluded the plan would have increased basic service prices for the majority of subscribers in the three regions.However, the regulator approved Bell\u2019s application to introduce province-wide 911 emergency service in Ontario and Quebec.The company will be allowed to charge a monthly levy of 32 cents for the service, although the fee will vary for some business customers.Currently only large cities \u2014 including Toronto and Montreal \u2014 have 911, which is funded at the municipal level in the two provinces.ROLLED BACK The CRTC also rolled back Bell\u2019s allowable profit range to Bell lost monopoly last June OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Bell Canada was denied permission Monday to raise the basic telephone rates of about seven million customers in Ontario and Quebec.Here\u2019s a chronology of events that led to the decision: June 12, 1992: A Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ruling breaks the monopoly of telephone companies like Bell Canada by allowing Unitel Communications and other firms to compete in the $7.5- billion-a-year long-distance telephone market.Feb.5, 1993: Bell Canada applies to CRTC for two increases to basic telephone service, citing the recession and increased competition in the long-distance market.The first increase would kick in April 1, followed by another Sept.1.If per month.March 30: to raise basic granted, basic rates for residential service would jump by as much as $7 per month, while business rates would increase by as much as $9 CRTC denies Bell the April increase but schedules public hearing on request residential rates an average of 40 per cent and business rates about 25 per cent.May 17: Month-long hearing begins in Hull.Several lobby groups and politicians say Bell should be denied increases.Aug.30: CRTC turns down Bell's request *o vince-wide 91

range of 12.5t0 13.5 per cent.Bell was extremely disappointed, said Claude Beauregard, assistant vice-president for public affairs.\u201cThe CRTC has failed to recognize that Bell will be able to meet customer demand and provide reliable, high-quality telecommunications only if it has a strong financial base.\u201d George Harvey, president of long-distance rival Unitel Communications, praised the ruling.\u201cWe see it as a victory for consumers and competition.\u201d Bell, which earned record profits of $931 million last year, has more than seven million business and residential customers in Ontario and Quebec.The company asked the CRTC for too much, said To- ronto-based telecommunications analyst Eamon Hoey.\u201cIt was a strategy that was poorly conceived.\u201d Several consumer and business groups opposed Bell\u2019s request for rate increases at a month-long public hearing in the spring.PREDICTS LOSS Bell laid out a detailed case, saying it expected to lose one- fifth of its annual $3-billion long-distance market to other companies by the end of next year.It costs, on average, approximately $40 a month to provide a telephone line, yet the average price for local residential service is about $10, said Bell.The CRTC thoroughly studied Canada\u2019s telephone market before allowing long- distance competition in June 1992.At the time, Spicer said there was no reason for competition \u2018\u2018to have a damaging impact on local rates.\u201d REE sa ns vai Clinton: Opposition won't stop NAFTA WASHINGTON (AP-CP) \u2014 U.S.President Bill Clinton predicted passage of the free trade agreement with Canada and Mexico despite a warning that up to three-fourths of Democrats in the House of Representatives oppose the deal.\u201cI think in the end, my position will prevail,\u201d Clinton said Monday.The president, fresh from an 11-day vacation, was answering a warning from Democratic Representative David Bonior of Michigan that \u2018\u2018up to two-thirds to maybe 75 per cent of the Democratic caucus in the House is opposed to this treaty.\u201d Clinton says he wants Congress to pass the North American free trade agreement by the end of the year.Only the Canadian Parliament has approved it.But among the powerful opposition are the second and third-ranked Democrats in the House, majority leader Dick Gephardt of Missouri and Bonior, the majority whip.Most Republicans support the agreement.But some conservatives join Democrats in saying it will worsen the loss of jobs to Mexico.PEROT OPPOSED Ross Perot, a former independent presidential candidate, is campaigning against the pact.Bonior said Sunday the trade deal is a \u201clousy treaty\u201d and Clinton could not change his opposition to it.Clinton was receptive to a suggestion by Republican Bob Dole.the Senate majority leader and a supporter of the deal, that the agreement be submitted to the Senate before the House to build mo- : mentum.\u2018\u2018I have no objection to going that way,\u201d Clinton said while adding he hasn\u2019t made a decision.Dole said the deal could pass in the 100-member Senate with as few as 16 of the 56 Democrats if Republicans could summon 34 or more of their own to vote for it.\u201cThis is a bipartisan issue, yet I would hope President Clinton could get members of his on party to support him on this issue,\u2019 Dole said in Mexico City after he and other Republican senators met President Carlos Salinas de Gor- tari.DEVASTATING \u201cI think it would be devastating should he fail to pass the free trade agreement,\u201d Dole added.The pact would lower tariffs and remove other trade restrictions among the United States, Mexico and Canada over 15 years.\u201cI think we are up against a tough, all-out debate against the Flat Earth arguments being advanced by Ross Perot,\u201d\u201d Senator Phil Gramm of Texas said while accompanying Dole.Perot is releasing a book that repeats complaints that a huge \u2018sucking sound\u201d would be heard under free trade as jobs rushed to Mexico.Clinton, emerging from a meeting with leaders of five Caribbean countries, said he asked U.S.Trade Representative Mickey Kantor to study whether the deal threatens to divert trade and investment away from small Caribbean economies.\u2018 I AB GA Dl Ee LP A tt a te 5 Sb on PT cr ATH A6 ug 2 CTI 18 hole par 3 course Practice course

muscle\u2019 says \u2018\u2018all that cutesy stuff about love handles may actually be setting a person up down the road \u2014 there\u2019s nothing loving about obesity-induced illnesses.\u201d Meschino, co-author of The Winning Weigh \u2014 Seven Steps To Healthier Living (Elite), admits men are more prone to love handles, or the \u2018\u2018android- type body shape.\u201d \u201cA lot depends on your genetics.If you\u2019re not prone to diabetes, heart disease or cholesterol and you maintain good cardio fitness, a little fat is not such a big deal.\u201d CLOGGED Problems start, says Mes- chino, when fat goes through your system to create such problems as clogged arteries.Dr.Rob Boyko of Mississauga\u2019s Credit Valley Hospital says love handles develop when food intake exceeds calories burned through regular activity.Boyko says people who car- Rubber tire or love handles?ry most of their fat around the stomach, or \u2018\u2018apple-shaped\u201d people, also have a higher incidence of heart disease.\u201cIf the love handles are small and the person is in relatively good shape, they\u2019re not such a big deal.But, when you have contributing factors, you\u2019re looking at trouble.\u201d Such excess fat is the reason why eight out of the 10 men enter Toronto\u2019s Centre for Cosmetic Surgery.\u201cThere certainly has been a definite increase in men asking to have them removed,\u201d says Dr.Michael Be- derman, who had the same procedure done on himself.\u201cIt\u2019s usually men entering middle-age who keep a fit and healthy lifestyle, but find the love handles difficult to get rid of through exercise alone.\u201d Meschino notes that metabolism slows with age and, as people begin to lead a more sedentary lifestyle, more calories get stored as lean body mass shrinks.\u2018If people just change their habits even a little, the differences will be enormous,\u201d says Meschino.According to the Ottawa- based Canadian Fitness and Lifestyle Research Institute, 26 per cent of Canadian men between the ages of 23 to 44 are prone to lovehandles, and that figure jumps to 64 per cent for men aged 45 to 64.Get-well wishes Friends of Kay Taylor, formerly

set of organs and ducts that eliminate urine from the body.Urinary tract infections, most of which are easily treatable, can affect either sex but are more common in women and usually occur during adulthood.The symptoms include changes in the frequency and urgency of urination, a burning sensation while urinating, lower abdominal discomfort and possible fever or back pain.Two common urinary tract infections are urethritis and cystitis.Urethritis is an infection of the urethra, the tube that transports urine from the bladder.Cystitis is an infection within the bladder.Both can be spread by sexual intercourse and both have similar symptoms.Their treat- Warning: \u2018Stop seeing Rick Dear Ann Landers: This may not be the clipping that most people carry around in their wallets, but

people don\u2019t read or do research on them, and end up using their car seats incorrectly.Or they get them through a relative or yard sale, or as a hand-me-down, and the car seat is not necessarily safe any longer because it\u2019s outdated or parts aren\u2019t there anymore.\u201d Parents should make sure ments depend on the organism responsible for the infection.Intercourse may promote the entry of bacteria into the urethra.Having a new sexual partner can increase the risk, since it means possible exposure to new strains of infectious agents.Also, the short urethra in women makes them more susceptible to infection.Indeed, \u2018\u2018honeymoon cystitis\u2019\u2019 is common, since the infection often occurs in the first weeks of a marriage.Bacteria from the large intestine also can contaminate a woman\u2019s urethra because of its close proximity to the anal opening.The diagnosis of a urinary tract problem usually begins with a urinalysis.An absence of bacteria in the urine indicates that the problem is an inflammation of the urethra, which may not be caused by an infection, Other possible non-infectious causes include bladder inflam- house when Î toïd' them\u2019 F-Waÿ

refreshments, followed by a social hour.Crossword .:.Your Birthday Tuesday, Aug.31, 1993 In the year ahead there are indications that things which were previously unlucky for you may be the very ones that now offer you the greatest opportunities.Be prepared to rehoe oid ground.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Don't let an associate do your thinking for you today regarding a critical decision you've been reluctant to make.Your solution may be more painful, but it still could be better.Know where to look for romance and you'l find it.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) You'll be more effective solving problems today if you take the attitude they can no longer be ignored.It you don\u2019t time might only make them worse.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) Today if two close friends have a disagreement, think twice before trying to play the role of an arbitrator.This may be a role for which you're not well suited.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) When dealing with others in close proximity today you're inclinations might be competitive as opposed to being cooperative.Work for a common cause, not against it.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) You won't enjoy having your concepts and opinions challenged today, so make it a point to avoid persons you know from expenence are habitual critics.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) In situations today where there is something of substance at stake, don't take anything for granted.Those with whom you're involved might not treat you as fairly as you'd treat them.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Your mate might be a bit difficult to get along with today.Don't make matters worse by bringing up issues that rub him/her the wrong way to begin with.ARIES (March 21-April 19) if you do not keep pace with your work at this time, there's a possibility it could get out of hand and overwhelm you later.Devise an effective, productive system today.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) You could jeopardize a relationship today if you exclude a close friend from something in which he/she should be involved.Think how you would feel! it the tables were turned.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) if there is something for which you're responsible and if goes wrong to today, don't try to palm the blame off on someone else.A move of this ilk would severely tarnish your image.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Weigh you words with extreme care today, becaus: there's a possibility what you say or put it writing may later be used against you.Limi your comments to what you want repeated.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Guard against incli nations today to rob Peter in order to pa Paul in hopes of keeping your financia affairs in balance.Unfortunately, your mea sures may only be temporary.Tuesday, Aug.31, 1993 NORTH 8-31-93 ®AJ83 YAK ®A964 49385 WEST EAST ®654 ®K1092 V 107 VI934 #Q3 #J52 #KQJ762 #103 SOUTH #Q7 vQ6532 #K1087

year\u2019s world championships from the Gener- ali European Championships, held last June in Menton, a small town on the French Riviera between Monaco and Italy.Poland won the Open Series, surprising no one, and Sweden won the Women\u2019s, surprising everyone \u2014 including, perhaps, themselves.Poland is joined by Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands in the NEC Bermuda Bowl.France, Italy and Germany also qualified for the NEC Venice Cup.One of Poland\u2019s best players, Piotr Gawrys, found a simple yet effective line on today\u2019s deal from the match against Great Britain.The British North-South pair finished in five diamonds, which died when the spade finesse lost.Three no-trump makes because West has no entry to his club winners, but that is tough to judge.And four hearts isn\u2019t such a bad spot.How would you have planned the play against the club-king lead?Opening three clubs in the third position would be the choice of mest players, especially at the prevailing vulnerability.But if the opponents buy the contract, which they rate to do, it is a revealing bid.Gawrys won the first trick with the club ace and unblocked dummy\u2019s top hearts.Then Gawrys simply led a low spade from the dummy.How could East defend?If he won with the king, eventually declarer\u2019s two diamond losers would disappear on dummy\u2019s A-J of spades.But when East ducked, South no longer had a spade loser.He lost one trick in each of the other suits.© 1903, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, August 31, 1993\u20149 - *' WHAT A CURIOUS \"SHE WAS NOW NOW SHE

Nordiques general manager Pierre Page went to Sweden to make a sales pitch to Peter Forsberg but it looked unlikely the gifted young centre would opt to play this season in the National Hockey
