Wednesday to quash a coroner\u2019s inquest into a shooting death at the heart of the 1990 * Oka crisis.If successful, the court bid would also prevent the director ' of the Quebec Police Force from testifying into the death of Cpl.Marcel Lemay, who died during a bungled police raid on a Mohawk barricade.Coroner Guy Gilbert's inquest, which has worked its way up the ladder of police authority in 75 days of testimony, was suspended Wednesday morning pending a legal bid by police to have the probe discontinued by Quebec Superior Court.Daniel Rochefort, the lawyer representing several senior police officers, said the court request will be made on grounds the inquest has strayed from its mandate.\u2018\u2018We have the impression Time for action \u2014 Bouchard Bloc: Why are we waiting when the times are so bad?By Portia Priegert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The government should not have delayed the first sitting of the new Parliament for two months when the country is facing critical economic problems, says Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard.\u201cWe find it unfortunate that the government has not seen fit to call the House back sooner,\u201d Bouchard, who is expected to be leader of the official Opposition, told a news conference Wednesday.\u201cThe 17th of January is rather far off.\u201d Prime Minister Jean Chrétien\u2019s decision to wait until the New Year to resume Parliament means important issues \u2014 such as employment, public finances and the deficit \u2014 will be put on hold, said the Bloc leader.Parliament should have come back to sit \u2018\u2018as soon as possible in order to put in place the kind of measures that we need.\u201d Bouchard\u2019s comments came after he welcomed his 54- member caucus to its first By Helen Branswell OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Having missed the cut for cabinet, some veteran Liberals are now in a scuffle for one of the best of the remaining jobs on Parliament Hill \u2014 Speaker of the House of Commons.Warren Allmand, a cabinet minister from the Trudeau era, issued a statement Tuesday declaring his interest in the job, which is filled by a secret-ballot vote by MPs.Allmand\u2019s move sparked some grumbling about the appropriateness of publicly campaigning for the Speaker\u2019s chair.But with 200-plus rookie MPs, unorthodox approaches may be in order.Allmand pointed to his 28 years as an MP for the Montreal riding of Notre-Dame de Grace, his cabinet experience and his \u2018\u2018comprehensive knowledge of the role, rules Speaker, who\u2019s the speaker?speaker, and traditions\u2019\u2019 of Parliament.One of his competitors for the post \u2014 which brings both perks and prestige \u2014 didn\u2019t seem to think much of All- mand\u2019s approach.\u201cYou don\u2019t campaign for this job,\u2019\u2019 Jean-Robert Gauthier, a 21-year veteran of the House, said Wednesday.\u201cIf you go and you start putting out buttons and putting out pamphlets and press releases and everything else, that sounds to me a bit like a partisan election.I just had one.I'm not interested in another.\u201d But Gauthier is interested in the Speaker\u2019s job.And he conceded that he sent a letter last week to fellow MPs outlining what he believes he has to offer.See SPEAKER Page 2 meeting on Parliament Hill and announced the names of his shadow cabinet \u2014 including himself as spokesman on foreign affairs.Among the appointments: e Michel Gauthier, a former Parti Québécois member of the Quebec National Assembly who served as parliamentary assistant to PQ Leader Jacques Parizeau, will be House leader and spokesman on intergovernmental affairs.® Francine Lalonde, a labor activist and briefly provincial minister for the status of women under René Lévesque, will be spokesman on human resources.e Yvan Loubier, an economist specializing in government policy and international trade and close adviser to Bou- chard, will be finance critic.Two MPs with experience in the Commons \u2014 Benoit Tremblay and Louis Plamondon \u2014 were left out the 33-member shadow cabinet at their request, said Bouchard.Plamondon is facing charges that he tried to hire a prostitute just blocks from Parliament Hill.Bouchard offered no explanation about Tremblay, a former senior civil servant in Quebec who had been expected to play a prominent role for the Bloc.The party leader, who has sometimes been criticized for running a one-man show, didn\u2019t introduce any of his shadow cabinet at the news conference and fielded all questions himself.He acknowledged that Bloc MPs are sovereigntists who will defend the interests of Quebec, but said they will also try to represent all of Canada in See BLOC Page 2 \u201cWe feel like we\u2019re sitting ducks\u2019 Canadians won\u2019t be able to use Florida plates MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Canadian snowbirds who flock to Florida every winter in their own cars won't be able to cover their rears with Sunshine State licence plates.A bill that would have allowed the temporary tag trade died in the state legislature Wednesday.\u2018It never made it to the floor of the House of Representatives,\u201d Kathy Putnam, press secretary to Speaker of the House

IRVINE, Calif.(Reuter) \u2014 Officials in this Los Angeles suburb are trying to figure out if police officers overreacted when they pumped 43 shots into a runaway cow.\u201cFiring 43 shots into an animal occurs to me to be unusual,\u201d\u2019 Irvine city manager Paul Brady said Wednesday.The saga of the cops and the .cow began early Sunday, when the cow wandered on to the San Diego Freeway, the busy main artery between Los Angeles and San Diego.The incident was reported Wednesday in the Orange County Register newspaper.Police in patrol cars tried to herd the critter to a freeway exit, but it panicked and stampeded along the freeway in the wrong direction.An Irvine police spokesman committee,\u201d Putnam told the Montreal Gazette.A pair of Democratic legislators \u2014 Howard Foreman of the Senate and Fred Lippman of the House of Representatives \u2014 tried to rush the bill through a special session of the state legislature in time for the arrival of millions of tourists.said Wednesday that officers opened fire because the cow was a danger to motorists, but was at a loss to explain why they had to shoot it 43 times over a 20-minute period before killing it, except that it was a moving target travelling at about 30 kilometres an hour.Another mystery confronting authorities was where the cow came from.There are no farms in the area.that the coroner has already drawn conclusions before the end of the inquest,\u201d Rochefort told a news conference.He declined to specify what conclusions the coroner may have drawn.But Rochefort argued that instead of focusing on who killed Lemay on the morning of July 11, 1990, the inquest has placed a magnifying glass on the administration of the provincial police force.Richard Corriveau, the lawyer representing natives C Sherbrooke firefighters made sure this m from three Mohawk communities in Quebec, said police are trying to prevent imminent testimony from QPF director Robert Lavigne.\u201cIt\u2019s a slimy manoeuvre at this stage of the game,\u201d said Corriveau.He maintained that the inquest mandate must go beyond the mystery of who fired a single bullet and examine the circumstances that led to Le- may\u2019s death, which set the stage for the 78-day crisis.= ig appar STE \u2026 Ë inor brush fire at the corner of Dunant and oques Streets never had a chance on Wednesday afternoon.Firemen said

said.\u201cIt was a police operation that went wrong and resulted in the death of a police officer.\u201d Rochefort, who has represented about 10 senior police officers who have so far testified.noted

a shame?\u201d Betty Arlin said.\u2018\u2018It\u2019s too bad, because we\u2019re all so concerned.\u201d Arlin said she, her husband, Hy, and many frieds and relatives who spend the winter in the south \u2018were very much hoping to be able to get Florida licence plates.\u201d Rather than snowbirds, Arlin said, \u2018\u201cwe feel like we're sitting ducks with our Quebec plates.\u201d Putnam said it is unlikely there can be any new licence- plate legislation in time for the 1993-94 winter vacation period.The proposal would have to be submitted at the regular legislative session, which begins in February.In the meantime, a man has been charged with attempted murder after firing at a van driven by a Canadian who tried to pass him on the highway.No one was seriously injured in the attack.Police said Tuesday the same suspect was convicted in 1981 of attempted murder for stabbing a man who pulled out to pass him.POTSHOT Police say a man took a potshot at the vandriven by André Gagnon of Longueil as it passed him on Sunday.The shot shattered the van\u2019s front passenger window, and Gagnon\u2019s wife, Lise Carrier, was hit by some flying glass.She suffered only minor cuts to the jaw.Two other Canadians \u2014 Denis Codere and an unnamed fourth person \u2014 were also in the van, said Debbie Carter, a spokeswoman for the Hillsbo- rough County sheriff\u2019s department.A bullet from a .357-calibre hand-gun went out the driver\u2019s window, police said.There was no evidence the victims were targetted in the shooting because they were tourists, said Carter.\u201cIt was basically a dispute over traffic,\u201d she said.Sheriff\u2019s officials made the arrest Tuesday.James Shinlever, 42, is charged with attempted murder, possession of a firearm and shooting into a vehicle.In February 1981, Shinlever was convicted of attempted murder for stabbing a man who pulled out in front of him.He was sentenced to 15 years but was parolled in December

into the church and stayed for se- time.The Bloc finished second to the governing Liberals, with 54 seats, and is expected to assume the role of official Opposition.That traditionally has included the right to better offices than the third-place party, and other privileges such as leading off the daily question period in the Commons.But because Reform won 52 Quebecers who share his idea of a new

candidates in every province except Quebec in the Oct.25 federal election.over office space seats in five provinces its leader, Preston Manning, says it should be treated \u2018virtually equally\u2019 with the Bloc.That apparently led to some problems this week, as party representatives huddled behind closed doors to hand out the keys to the stately rooms with a view.Alfonso Gagliano, the Liberal whip who chairs such negotiations, summed it up Wednesday: ¢\u2018In every negotiation there are always some problems, and every party is trying to get as much as they can.\u201d Bloc Leader Lucien Bou- chard took a different tack.\u2018\u2019The Reform party would like to choose, would like more or less to act as the official Op- postion, in choosing offices before the Bloc,\u201d he complained.liken too has been approaching people for a long time.\u201d Peter Milliken, representing the riding of Kingston and the Islands, is one of the other Liberal MPs said to be interested in the job.Another is Gilbert Parent, from Welland-St.Catharines- Thorold.Parent, a 15-year veteran and former Liberal cau- - \u20acus chairman, said he has no plans to campaign.\u201cWhat other people do with regards to the Speakership is perfectly legal, as far as I'm concerned.And if they want ven years.Eling said the subject took up to 20 minutes of every church meeting he attended for the first three months.Many in the church were quite fond of the animal.However, some parishioners were allergic to her.Others had been scratched and a few considered her strolls between the pews during Sunday services were distracting.When the parish decided Catherine had to go, a lively public debate broke out and she to campaign in whatever way they choose, then I say: Go to it.\u201cI have not campaigned for the position of Speaker, nor do I intend to.\u201d Parent became a controversial figure when it was disclosed during the recent election campaign that the RCMP had searched his riding office last spring as part of an invés- tigation into allegations of fraud and breach of trust.He says he is innocent of any wrongdoing.The Speaker\u2019s job comes Did burglars strangle popular

an apartment and a private dining room in the centre block of the Parliament buildings.The position used to be filled by appointment.But in 1986 the rules were changed so the Speaker would be elected by all MPs.That will be the first order of business when the new House convenes Jan.17.priest\u2019?Ellegood was a friend of Harris and rector of the church when it was first built in 1864 in what was then the city\u2019s outskirts.The work had been commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Ellegood\u2019s ordination.Eling said parishioners would be happy to have people drop in for a look.\u201cIt would be crazy to sell it to pay the bills,\u201d he added.\u2018The painting is an important part of our her'tage.\u201d INQUEST: Continued from page one.\u201cWe should be investigating those who were not police officers and who were in the Pines,\u201d said Rochefort, referring to the thick pine forest west of Montreal where armed Mohawks were based during the crisis.Provincial police and later the army squared off against natives who\u2019d set up a barricade to protest the planned expansion of a golf course.The disputed land claimed by the natives was near the town of Oka, where the Mohawk settlement of Kanesatake is located.Rochefort said that of 68 witnesses who have so far testified at the inquest, 30 have been po- Td, WEATHER lice officers and nine have been native, three of whom were in the pine forest.He complained that another 26 natives police want to appear before the inquest have not been subpoenaed.On Tuesday, Chief Insp.Jean-Guy Charland, a QPF intelligence specialist, testified that Lavigne asked him if there would be armed resistance hours before the raid on the barricade.Charland said he replied that such resistance would be possible but unlikely.When the coroner asked Charland whether Lavigne was haunted by the question of vio- Doonesbury lence, lawyers for the police objected.Robert Gagnon, a lawyer for police director Robert La- vigne, said Tuesday the coroner was \u201clike a man walking around with a gallon of gasoline and a cigar\u201d looking for a match.André Fiset, a lawyer for the association representing provincial police officers, complained Wednesday to Gilbert that he has called only police officers to testify, and that very few Mohawks have been subpoenaed to appear at the hearing.Richard Masson, counsel for the inquest, said he was surprised at the action.\u2018They could have argued a long time ago we had strayed from our mandate.They did not, so I assume what we\u2019ve been doing so far is relevant.\u201d Gilbert granted the temporary suspension on the 75th day of testimony, until Quebec Superior Court decides if it will be stopped.The roadblock, on a secondary road near Oka, northwest of Montreal, had been erected to protest a condominium and golf course development on land the Mohawks considered sacred.- When police tried to remove the roadblock, Lemay was killed in an exchange of shots and the standoff followed.BY GARRY TRUDEAU The wet stuff returns.The sun may break through in the morning but look for a return of rain or possibly wet YOU

Hospitals will bear brunt of health care cuts By lan MacDonald SHERBROOKE \u2014 Closing or combining hospitals, slashing the number of beds and streamlining administration are some of the ways the Sherbrooke regional health board could deal with an estimated $40-million budgetary shortfall over the next three years.But regional board officials also won\u2019t say how much money will be taken from the region\u2019s budget until the Quebec Ministry of Health comes back with exact figures in about two weeks.\u201cWe\u2019d like to know how much it\u2019s going to be as much as you do,\u201d Sherbrooke health board director Jean-Pierre Duplantie told reporters Wednesday.Duplantie also would not say what services will be cut because they must first get input from health care professionals and administrators.That pro- _cess will take until February.But Duplantie said the region\u2019s eight hospitals, which eat up two-thirds of the region\u2019s $377-million annual budget, will bear the brunt of any spending reductions.RE-THINK \u201cWith rising costs associated with hospitals.especially in new technology and equipment, we have to re-think the way we provide hospital care.\u201d he said.At the same time, Duplantie said he hopes the Ministry will take into account the under- budgeting of $18 million for regional hospitals in arriving at its figures.The union representing the region\u2019s 4,500 health care workers is asking for a meeting with the board as soon as possible.In a press release Confederation of National Trade Union president Janvier Cliche said the regional

distribution department.In his latter years he was also in charge of building and vehicle maintenance.In what he often recalled as the \u201cgoud old days\u201d, Dubois also acted as chauffeur and factotum for the family of John H.Bassett when they owned the Record and stayed in North Ha- tley.Other owners he served included Ivan Saunders and company, Conrad Black, Peter White and David Radler, George MacLaren, and the Pé- ladeaus of Québecor.Dubois was often regarded as the Record\u2019s goodwill ambassador, delivering papers, selling subscriptions, soothing angry customers and even occasionally collecting overdue bills.But beneath his cheerful manner a fiery temper could be found by those who crossed him.Dubois also gave hundreds of Eastern Townships youngsters their start in business over the years, recruiting them to work as independent carriers.À classic workoholic, he could often be found puttering around the Record building on weekends and holidays.He was to retire at the age of 65 in 1986, but the day after his farewell party he showed up for work as usual, and continued until illness stopped him in 1992.Visitation: Co-operative funéraire de l\u2019Estrie, 208

Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Who°s getting hoodwinked?In an uncomplicated world there would be no need for a sovereigntist federal party \u2018to have a shadow cabinet with members responsible for western economic diversification or Canadian heritage.But as rookie MPs Yvan Loubier and Suzanne Tremblay can now respectively attest, Ottawa .with the Bloc Québécois as official opposi- - tion is not an easily understandable place.In fairness, Loubier\u2019s principal respon- siblity as announced Wednesday by leader Bloc leader Lucien Bouchard, is for fi- \u2018nance and international trade with the western bit tacked on at the end.Yet surely neither he nor Tremblay would have expected their future job descriptions to have \u201csuch pan-Canadian overtones when they sought their Bloc riding nominations months before the election.Bouchard is taking the role as leader of the official Opposition too seriously for his own good.His traditional-looking shadow cabinet has left either himself or his MPs wide open to accusations of being hypo- \" crites.No matter how Bouchard attempts to justify the appointment \u2014 as evidence of his goodwill toward monolithic English Canada or his refusal to make a farce of the House of Commons \u2014 Canadian heritage is incompatible with Quebec sovereignty.So why is he doing it?Probably because he has respect for the Canadian political system, strange as that may seem to some.But assigning a position out of a sense of duty is a \u201cpolitical\u201d appointment in the worst sense of the word if carrying out that duty flies in the face of the most important plank of the Bloc\u2019s platform.Tremblay\u2019s post screams of contradiction and double-speak.Separatists who voted for Bouchard should be disappointed to know the Bloc has someone working on Canadian heritage.Unless, of course, Canadian heritage begins just east of Parliament Hill and ends anywhere south-west of Newfoundland.If that\u2019s the case, then who\u2019s really getting hoodwinked?It\u2019s an important debate as long as the people who voted for the Bloc were expressing an opinion on Quebec\u2019s place within Canada.But suppose a vote for the Bloc was merely a protest vote; then we wouldn\u2019t have to worry so much about sha- dow-cabinet semantics.If policy doesn\u2019t matter then Canadian heritage becomes irrelevant anyway.MARK BRENDER Shelved mandarins chat, read and earn up to $53,000 \u2018Jobless\u2019 Quebec bureaucrats well paid By Don Macdonald QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Henri Dorval is out of work but not out of a job.The 50-year-old Quebec bureaucrat was told almost three months ago that he was no longer needed in the job he had held for the past 14 years.But as a Quebec civil servant.Dorval is guaranteed a job and so now he spends his time in what is jokingly known as a Club Med \u2014 an office for bureaucrats without work.Dorval, along with dozens of other \u2018\u2018shelved\u2019 bureaucrats.keeps regular hours at a gover- nment-issue desk and collects his paycheque while waiting for another civil service job.\u2018You arrive in the morning and people are pretty down.\u2019 said Dorval.who was a communications officer for the provincial regulator of financial institutions.\u201cThe days are long and more tiring than in my other office.Before I always had something to do but now I have to keep myself busy.\u201d VICTIMS?Dorval, a married father of three who refused to divulge his salary, describes himself and his colleagues as \u2018\u2018victims of the system.\u201d There are currently 59 displaced bureaucrats.earning annual salaries of up to $53,000.grouped together waiting for work either in an office in Quebec City or in Montreal.The average stay before finding other work is two or three months but can stretch much longer if there is no demand for their skills.officials say.Quebec bureaucrats have been guaranteed career-long job security since the early 1960s to protect their independence from the whims of changing governments.But civil service cutbacks mean the number of jobless bu- reaucrats is growing faster than the number of openings.And the situation is only going to become worse as hundreds of posts are slashed in a planned reduction of the civil service.To help the bureaucrats find other work and give them somewhere to go in the meantime, the government opened the offices for displaced civil servants last April.A visit to the Quebec City office on Wednesday afternoon found bureacrats quietly reading or chatting with each other.They are offered a series of seminars to get them psychologically back on their feet after losing their jobs.ready to apply for new jobs or retrain for other work.said spokeswoman Nicole Cha- rette.\u201cI won't deny that people are not happy to come here.\u201d Cha- rette said.\u2018But its not true that they don\u2019t do anything.\u201d Dorval, for example, is taking English lessons as well as seminars on job interviewing techniques.Treasury Board President Daniel Johnson defended the offices as \u2018\u2018creative management.\u201d \u201cWe have to make sure that good people who have experience within the civil service are reassigned.\u201d\u2019 Johnson said at the legislature.Dorval, who thinks he may have a line on a job after the Christmas holidays.said he doesn\u2019t care what taxpayers think of the offices.\u2018\u2018People can think what they want.We didn\u2019t ask to be here.That\u2019s the system.\u201d Education is an aboriginal right The federal government and political parties are more concerned with jobs and the deficit than with education, which is especially important to aboriginals, writes William Morris, of Sudbury, Ont., who works with native students: I work to represent native students nationally \u2014 no easy task, but very rewarding.I have met with hundreds of native students, elders and spiritual leaders from the many First Nations in Canada.From them, I have learned that education is not an isolated issue that can be easily put aside at any time.Education is an aboriginal right, treaty and otherwise.It is inclusive in all aspects of aboriginal cultures.It is no more or less important than politics, spiritually or social activities.To the government and other political parties, education for all Canadians is not an issue.Jobs and the deficit are the areas of focus for politicians, the media, the business sector and out-of-work Canadians .This narrow vision and lack of foresight is what has gotten us into our present mess.From what Canada Thinks,

hand in salute at the national war memorial in Ottawa today.he'1l remember the wound that was his ticket home from the First World War.The 94-year-old was hit by schrapnel in the right shoulder, which makes it impossible for him to muster a traditional right- handed salute.\u201cBut 1'll tell you this \u2014 I'm going to feel pride and I'm also going to feel sorry there aren't more who are there like me,\u2019 says Nicol, chosen by the Royal Canadian Legion to represent Ontario\u2019s First World War veterans.He was injured when a German shell exploded on Sept.28, 1918, at Canal du Nord on the famed Hindenburg Line, six weeks before the end of the war.He spent several months recovering in England before shipping home to Thunder Bay.But tears run sideways along the creases in Nicol\u2019s face when he recalls the train passing right through his hometown without stopping on its way to Winnipeg.\u2018\u201cCan you imagine the feeling of going right past your home without stopping after being away for almost three years?\u201d says Nicol\" He was crying when he saw his father, stepmother, two stepsisters and his black Spaniel named Nifty waiting for him at the train station before someone decided the train should go straight through to Winnipeg.Nicol got home two weeks later.\u2018He (Nifty) came running down that platform so fast.after all that time he remembered me.\u201d Today in history The First World War officially ended 75 years + ago today \u2014 in 1918\u2014 on Armistice Day and hostilities ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.More than 595,000 Canadians enlisted, of whom 422,000 served overseas.Following the Second World War, Armistice Day was changed to Remembrance Day which commemorates all the Canadian men and women who died in the Boer War, two world wars, the Korean War and in other actions for the United Nations.Also on this day in: 1916 \u2014 Prime Minister Sir Robert Borden fired ; Sir Sam Hughes as

what the Conservatives under Kim Campbell did to undermine the already weak federal environmental agenda in Canada.Four destructive decisions were made: e National Parks were moved out of Environment Canada and into the new Department of Canadian Heritage: e Forestry Canada was transferred into a new Department of Natural Resources: e the Cabinet Committee on Environment was replaced by the Economics and Environmental Policy Committee; e and new regulations under the Environmental Assessment Act exempted environmentally destructive projects from federal environmental assessment review.These four decisions are reactionary and regressive.They must be corrected and fixed.Consider the effect of moving national parks into the Department of Canadian Heritage.This new department includes agencies like sports.culture.broadcasting, arts, communications.multiculturalism, and official languages.NEEDLESS Mixing the national parks with cultural and entertainment agencies will needlessly distract an already distracted Parks Canada from concentrating on its primary purpose \u2014 the protection of natural ecosystems.National parks logically belong with Environment Canada and should be returned there before needless damage is done to the ecosystems and wildlife of the parks.The move of Forestry Canada into \u201cNatural Resources\u201d will mean the continuation of the de- cades-long exploitive.anti- environmental policies of Forestry Canada.Natural resources implies a focus on exploitation at the expense of conservation.Commentary By Ted Mosquin In its new department, forestry will continue to do what it has always done: advocate more efficient harvesting machines, fewer jobs, more pesticides, more manipulation of the forest while paying lip service to conservation.BAD IMAGE Forestry Canada\u2019s policies.values and actions help give foresters the bad image they deserve.Like national parks.forests logically belong with Environment Canada.The prime responsibility of forestry staff to the forest and to Canada should be defined in new legislation to be same as that of Parks Canada staff for national parks \u2014 to maintain ecological integrity.The loss of the Cabinet Committee on the Environment represents yet another move away from ecological sensibilities.The replacement committee will no doubt be dominated by traditional economic thinking \u2014 more growth, more development.Can this committee work to reconcile the seemingly opposed goals of preservation of the Earth and idealogy of continuing growth and exploitation?Not likely.Will the new committee try to comprehend the dependence of a sustainable economy upon a clean and healthy environment?I am skeptical.GREEN COVER?It would be another crime against future generations if this committee turned out to be nothing more than a green cover for thoughtless economic growth and exploitation as usual.People both in and out of the government should monitor this committee\u2019s work and offer advice and criticism as necessary.Finally, in September, the government dealt a fatal chop to the federal environmental assessment process.Itignored a report of a national committee comprised of environmentalists, provincial governments, industry and native groups which had recommended that 340 sections of existing laws should trigger an environmental assessment.The government slashed this to 145, exempting things like the killing of wildlife in national parks.the conversion of wilderness areas in national parks into ski areas, the building of dams when construction has already started, foreign overfishing on dwindling fish populations, killing sea otters.whales and other endangered species or populations, dumping nuclear wastes at sea, polluting Arctic waters by foreign ships.\u2018crimes\u2019 OBVIOUS CRIMES But why should these obvious crimes against the environment be exempted?Small wonder that today\u2019s youth fear for their future.Mr.Chrétien should undo these anti-environmental decisions of the previous government.One practicable way would be to move into Environment Canada all key administrative and research agencies having major responsibility for the productivity and health of natural terrestrial and marine ecosystems and the ecosphere.This would make Environment Canada unique among federal agencies in that its real client and mandate would not be people as such but the far more important state of natural ecosystems and processes should be moved elsewhere.Such ecologically-based institutional re-structuring would be right for our time.It would accept and recognize that the Earth.the ecosphere, the integrity of natural ecosystems and all their sustaining species and processes are what create and maintain this unique planet and make possible the only known basis for thriving communities and a stable future.® Ted Mosquin is an ecologist, research scientist and an environmental

Woodward WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 Canada has little choice but to adopt the North American free trade pact despite hints it might not bring the deal into effect without changes, a U.S.congressional committee was told Wednesday.Charles Doran, director of Canadian studies at Johns Hopkins University, said NAFTA\u2019s failure would spur U.S.protectionism, hitting Canadian exporters with even more penalties than they get now.\u2018\u201cThey\u2019re walking a very narrow line here between wanting seriously to get changes \u2014 very specific ones \u2014 but at the same time not wanting to upset the fundamental framework and, most pointedly, not being left out of this agreement,\u201d Doran said.\u201cIf Mexicans and the United States wanted to go ahead, they could go ahead and Canada would be out.That's not what Canada wants.\u201d NEW STANCE Doran and two administration officials appeared at a House of Representatives subcommittee meeting on the new Canadian government\u2019s stance on NAFTA.The meeting, a week before the House votes on the pact, was designed as much to avoid sensitive issues as to gain information on Canada\u2019s position.Panel chairman Robert Torricelli.a New Jersey Democrat, warned witnesses at the outset to \u2018be precise and be careful\u2019\u2019 because undecided members might be swayed against NAFTA if Canada\u2019s position becomes controversial.He directed the tough questions to Doran, the outside expert, instead of to the cautious State Department officials who stuck mostly to bromides about giving Prime Minister Jean New charter may rise from Nationair ashes By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Vacationers from Montreal and Vancouver may have a new charter airline to choose from next summer \u2014 Air Club International.Former executives at Natio- nair, who quit just before that charter airline bit the dust last May, announced with a flourish Wednedsay that they have applied to the National Transportation Agency for a charter licence.Air Club president Claude Lévesque said hiring of 160 staff is expected to start next month and the first flight is planned for June 17.Lévesque said Air Club already has long-term contracts with tour wholesalers in Vancouver and Montreal to buy seats in two Boeing 767s to be leased and based in those cities.\u201cIt\u2019s not good enough to put an airline together and then try to sell seats,\u201d said Levesque.\u201cYou've got to respond to the needs of your tour operators.\u201d However, one exasperated Montreal tour operator said there are already too many available plane seats for the Quebec market.TOO MANY CHARTERS \u201cThe market is over-served as it is,\u201d said Gavin Scott, president of Sol Vac.\u201cIt\u2019s just nonsense to put more capacity back into the market.\u201d A new charter airline taking seats from others, added Scott, \u201cwill just affect the economic viability of other airlines.\u201d There are three Canadian charter airlines: Canada 3000 of Toronto, Air Transat and Royal Airlines of Montreal.Air Canada and Canadian Airlines also have charter flights.One advantage Air Club claims is that its wide-body aircraft will be more comfortable than the usual crowded charter aircraft.The Boeing 767s, capable of holding 290 seats, will be changed to hold 265.Lévesque said the group has planned from the start to avoid the mistakes of his former employer Nationair.Rather than being controlled and owned by a single person, ownership will be spread out and it will have a board of directors.The company has five groups of investors, each with roughly 20 per cent.One is Armada Mercantile, a Vancouver-based holding which owns tour wholesaler Skybridge Holidays.The others are the management team, another group of Montreal business people, a Toronto investment bank and a Montreal tour wholesaler, all unidentified.Air Club will be a public company, listing on the Montreal Exchange by taking over an inactive company, called a reverse takeover.It will make an initial public share offering in 1995.Financial adviser Julien Be- liveau said Air Club anticipates revenue of $65 million in the first year, \u2018\u2018and it will be profitable right from the start.\u201d He said it will require $8 million to get Air Club flying.The company plans to add a third aircraft in 1995, in Toronto, but Lévesque said the company does not want to grow beyond that.\u201cThe bigger you get, the more vulnerable you are,\u201d said Lévesque, adding, \u2018\u2018I experienced that.\u201d Lévesque, marketing director at Nationair, quit weeks before the charter airline, largest in Canada with 15 aircraft, went down last May.Three other Club Air managers also worked for Nationair.Reichmnans plan development in Mexico MEXICO CITY (AP) \u2014 The Reichmanns announced Wednesday they will help develop three huge real estate projects in Mexico City worth more than $1 billion.For the Toronto-based Reichmanns, the deal marks their first attempt at international real estate development since the failure last year of the Canary Wharf project in London.Reichmann International L.P., an association between brothers Paul, Ralph and Albert Reichmann and G.Soros Realty Inc., will develop a one- block area near the historic centre, a 42-storey office tower along the city\u2019s financial strip, and 30 buildings in the Santa Fe project on the capital\u2019s western outskirts.Recent free-market reforms by President Carlos Salinas de Gortari encouraged the Farm notes company to enter Mexico, said Paul Reichmann at a news conference to announce the deal.LEADERSHIP CHANGE \u2018\u201cIn recent years we have seen a tremendous change in Mexico under the leadership of President Salinas,\u2019 Reich-#.mann said.\u201cIt\u2019s obvious that the international business community will be demanding facilities.\u201d Reichmann International will spend between $500 and $600 million Cdn on a mixed business and residential project in a one-block area beside the Alameda Park, a few blocks from the city\u2019s central plaza.Mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta said the project would combine new buildings with patios and open courtyards and the historic architecture of remaining buildings.The plan also includes an eight-hectare shopping, office and residential complex in Santa Fe, a 650-hectare development built on an old garbage dump and gravel pit on the city\u2019s western outskirts.The development is billed as the largest and most modern shopping and commercial centre in Latin America.The developers also plan a $330 million, 42-storey tower near the Paseo de la Reforma, the city\u2019s most famous boulevard.ONE YEAR LATER The deal comes a year after the Reichmann\u2019s financial and real estate empire was on the verge of collapse following the Canary Wharf disaster.The huge London office complex was to be the crown jewel in the portfolio of the Reichmanns\u2019 real estate colossus, Olympia and York Developments Ltd.Olympia and York, once regarded as the world\u2019s biggest developer, filed for bankruptcy last year after talks with creditors collapsed over restructuring the debt of its Canadian properties.But a Mexican official said the Reichmanns\u2019 recent hard times weren\u2019t a factor in the government\u2019s decision to go with the company.\u201cThe financial backing is there, and it\u2019s solid,\u201d said Mexico City planning director Juan Enriquez.Most of the financing comes from George Soros, owner of U.S.-based So- ros Fund Management which manages the Quantum Group of Mutual Funds.Reichmann also said Wednesday the developments would not flood the capital\u2019s office space market, one of the problems that reportedly afflicted Canary Wharf.ST-HYACINTHE, Que.(CP) \u2014 Agriculture \u2018Canada scientists have found a way to refine a natural sweetener from a South American shrub that is 300 times as sweet as sugar.Now they\u2019re looking for a company to help get the product to market.The extract \u2014 stevioside \u2014 is from the shrub Stevia rebaudi- na.In its less pure state, it\u2019s sometimes used as a sweetener in South America, Thailand, China and Japan.The Canadian researchers produced a clear, odorless extract that would be more acceptable to the public, says Ma- rie-Rose Van Calsteren of the Food Research and Development Centre.How they did it is a secret known to just half a dozen people, she says.One unnamed company has expressed interest in the product so far.Meanwhile, Ontario scientists are looking into whether a strain of the shrub can be grown outdoors in the warm Niagara region.Aspartame, the popular synthetic sweetener, is said to be 200 times as sweet as sugar, based on dilution taste tests.RIMOUSKI, Que.(CP) \u2014 To keep predators away, a sheep farmer in the Lower St.Lawrence is testing a sound technique that

growing areas, frequently causing severe losses to the potato industry.It can usually be controlled with fungicides.However, the fungus that causes Fausarium dry rot recently showed resistance to fungicide in Alberta and Saskatchewan.\u2018Disease management will have to rely less on chemical control until alternative fugi- cides are available, and focus instead on management practices that minimize the incidence of disease,\u201d Agriculture Canada says in a bulletin from the Lethbridge research station.\u201cImmediate action by producers can prevent further spread.\u201d Farmers are

Barlow of the Council of Canadians urged Chretien to \u2018\u2018defend Canada\u2019s water rights\u201d before the House vote.have some There are a great many Canadians who are house rich and cash poor.Most of them are seniors who own their home outright, having paid off any mortgage they may have had on the property.The dilemma these individuals or couples face is that their retirement income may be insufficient to meet all their needs, yet they are living in a house that may have a market value of $100,000 or much more.About 25 years ago somebody in Britain came up with a bright idea.Why not sell a homeowner something called a reverse mortgage.Actually, it\u2019s best described as a form of home equity conversion plan.Under the program a portion of the equity built up in an individual\u2019s home is used to provide a lifetime income.The dollar amount the homeowner receives from mortgage lender is based on the property value of the house or condominium, the individual's life expectancy and current mortgage rates.The individual can receive up to 25 per cent of the principal amount of the mortgage as a lump sum and the remainder will be paid out in the form of annuity payments.The individual continues to live in the house and continues to hold the title, similar to a regular mortgage.However, if the homeowner sells the property before death or when the individual dies, the mortgage lender has first claim on the property.The company is entitled to recover all of the income it paid out to the individual along with acerued interest.The company is repaid from the sale of the house or the estate.Reverse mortgages started to appear in North American about 15 years ago, but have so far received a lukewarm reception.Only a few thousand of these plans have been sold, mostly in the Toronto and Vancouver areas where housing prices have risen dramatically over the past decade or so.The big attraction of a reverse mortgage is that you Reverse mortgages

loan value.However, there are some significant drawbacks to the concept of reverse mortgages.For this reason most major Canadian mortgage lenders have deliberately avoided offering these plans.First of all, the concept isn\u2019t quite as simple as it sounds and the amount of lifetime income provided under the program may be surprisingly less than the individual expected.Another drawback is the danger the value of the property may plummet while the value of the loan increases year by year.For many seniors, the family home represents the largest bulk of the estate they will be leaving.But with a reverse mortgage loan, the value of the estate for an individual's heirs is greatly diminished.A further disadvantage is that although the annuity income under most programs is paid on a tax-free basis, there\u2019s a day of reckoning with Revenue Canada.When the individual dies and the home is sold, capital gains may be triggered.And the amount of the lifetime income accrued with interest and the capital gains tax must be paid from the proceeds of the sale of the home or the es- Many professional financial reverse mortgages.Instead, Proceeds from sale of the tered Financial

those kids and their families should seek counseling, you were right on the mark.As a retired probation officer, may I suggest that you might also have addressed another point?Children who have been on the run and are living on the streets can come up with some very convincing stories.A teen-ager who tells you that his or her parents were cruel and their home life was terrible may in fact be a truant, beyond parental control.When you take in such a youngster without the knowledge or consent of his parent or guardian, you may not only be contributing to that child's delinquency but be violating the law.A runaway or street youth is often the subject of an outstanding warrant or a missing person's report.A family that wishes to help should first contact the child's school, the local social welfare agency or the police.Situations are not always what they seem.Too many families believe they can solve the problem by simply taking the child in for a few days or weeks.In the vast maiority of cases, they can't, and they ent 1p doing more harm than good.- J.S.Ann Landers DEAR J.S.: While your advice may be good for the long haul, I fail to see how it would be harmful to take in a kid for a day or two and give him or her a clean bed, some home-cooked food and little good advice.I agree, however, that the police should be notified since runaways could also be in trouble with the law, and by housing them, a person could get in trouble, too.The next letter supports your position.Keep reading.Dear Ann Landers: Before you condemn parents who have kicked out their teen-agers, you'd be wise to get the whole story.When my daughter was in her early teens, she ran away from home in a fit of anger.I learned almost immediately that she had been taken in by the family of one of her schoolmates.When I called to thank them for giving her a place to stay until she cooled down, I encountered a level of hostility you would not believe.She had told them I ordered her out of the house and wouldn't let her come back.Fortunately, they believed me when I told them she had not been truthful.I then wondered how many others she had fed the same line.Ann, I'm signing my name, but please don't use it.My daughter and I have finally become friends, and I'd like to keep it that way.- ACWORTH, GA.DEAR AC: Your point - check out a runaway's story before you condemn the parents - is a good one.Thank you for adding some balance to the picture.Dear Ann Landers: May we address the problem of the \"starving\" photographer?Your readers deserve to hear both sides.We are paying $80 a plate for our reception of 120 people.We are also going to employ, besides the photographer, a deejay and his helper, a minister, a videographer and a few others.As you can see, this adds up.We're not the kind to point out a problem without offering a solution.Here it is.Dear Photographer: Take $10 out of your $1,000 profit and pack a lunch! - TAMPA DEAR TAMPA: I received several letters from

Dbl.Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: & A The greed for points By Phillip Alder Of the seven deadly sins, gluttony appears at the bridge table more often than the others.And that is despite the lust for victory, the pride in one\u2019s performance, anger at errors, both covetousness and envy of others\u2019 successes, and sloth late at night.Rapacity is particularly rampant during matchpointed pair tournaments.However, I am glad to report, usually the avaricious player ends up with an overdraft at the bank.Today's deal occurred during the Life Master Pairs at the Summer North American Bridge Championships in Washington, D.C.It gave John Sutherlin and Dan Morse a good boost toward first place.Sutherlin\u2019s three-diamond rebid is called a help-suit game-try.It expresses game interest and shows losers in diamonds.Sutherlin knew that his hand was potentially strong, despite its meager point-count, but he wanted to get to game only if his partner could cover those diamond losers.East, who greedily thought he had three black-suit tricks, knew that his opponents were stretching to reach game.Expecting his partner to supply at least one trick, East doubled.Sutherlin ruffed the club-ace lead.Using dummy\u2019s two top diamonds and heart ace, Sutherlin ruffed dummy\u2019s other three low clubs in his hand.He continued with the heart king and heart queen, discarding dummy\u2019s last diamond.East ruffed, but he had no defense.He couldn\u2019t score more than his two remaining trump tricks.East paid for his debatable, desirous double.© 1983, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.Thursday, Nov.11, 1993 Thursday, Nov.11, 1993 Big changes could be In the offing for you in the year ahead.It looks like you may test your entrepreneural abilities and do something big on your own.Fortunately, you should succeed.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) There's a possibility today you might misconstrue negative imaginings for intuitive perceptions and hunches.This could lead to some strange complications.Trying to patch up a broken romance?The Astro-Graph Matchmaker can help you to understand what to do to make the relationship work.Mail $2 and a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to Matchmaker, P.O.Box 4465, New York, N.Y.10163.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) In order to end up in the profit column today, you will have to assess your probabilities with accuracy.If you put the emphasis on the wrong endeavors, no material gains are likely.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) You think you know exactly what you want today, but this might not be so.There's a possibility you'll get something for which you've struggled, only to discover it has minimal value.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) Flaws and weaknesses in your efforts will be very obvious to you today, but not necessarily to other persons with whom you'll be involved.Act boldly and you'll feel brave.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) Things should go rather smoothly for you today in your nonmaterial involvements.However, in situations where you're handling money for yourself or others, be very careful.ARIES (March 21-April 19) You might be inclined to reject suggestions today if they come from persons with whom you have no rapport.This could prove to be counterproductive, because their ideas may be helpful.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Don't be afraid to ask questions if you've been handed an assignment today that requires you to do something you've never done previously.You'll be more embarrassed if you botch it up.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Financial risks or gambles you take today could turn out to be exciting, but not necessarily profitable.It may be smart to forego situations that have elements of chance.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Others are likely to do what you do today and not as you say.You must first set the example yourself in order to show them what you're requesting is feasible.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) Today if you don't have nice things to say about others, especially co-workers, it's best to say nothing at all.If you do praise someone, be sure you're sincere.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) You're a pretty good horse trader, but today you may have to deal with a person whose skills are superior to yours.Be wary or you could come out on the short end.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) You have innate leadership qualities, but today owing to self- doubts they might not be obvious to associates.If you want to run the show, be firm in your convictions.St.George\u2019s Afternoon ACW hold regular meeting LENNOXVILLE \u2014 President L.Brady welcomed members at the regular meeting of the afternoon ACW on

the Maison Blanche Home in North Hatley, on October 14, 1993, after a three year illness with A.L.S.(Lou Gehrig's Disease).George was born in Marsboro, Quebec, located near Lac Megantic, on May 9, 1910 and moved to Lennoxville in 1930 where he resided since.He married Christina (Stena) Mathe- son, of Marsboro, on the 20th of March, 1937.They had three children: Hugh, Gordon and Ruth.In 1947, George, his family and brother-in-law, Lachlan Matheson, moved to Holmhurst Farm, just south of Lennox- ville, where he resided until his illness forced him to be hospitalized in 1992.He spent all his life in the farming business.His greatest love was working the fields with tractors and equipment.He became a champion ploughman, in the Eastern Townships and served, for many years, on the Sherbrooke Ploughmen\u2019s Association.George was renowned for the cus- tomwork he provided with his threshing machine, and, in later years, his grain combine, in the region of Lennoxville, Water- ville and North Hatley.He will be remembered as a dairy farmer of note.He took pride in his Holmhurst Farm and made many improvements to the buildings, in the fields and helped develop a herd, of Jersey cattle that hold a \u201cWorld Class\u201d rating.His attractive, picturesque farm of meadows and rolling hills, near the river, were always lush and full of crops - a real asset to the Township of Ascot.George was elected to the Municipal Council of Ascot and served as the Building Permit Chairman for many years in the 1950-60 era.He will be remembered as a gentle, hard working, ambitious farmer, a dedicated family man and a warm friend to his neighbours.His pride and pleasure, in his family and farm, also included a great respect for his Scottish heritage.Many, many hours of pleasure was enjoyed during his lifetime visiting with the old Scottish friends and relatives, reminiscing about the old days.Visitors were always welcome at the family farmhouse for tea and scones.Funeral services was held on October 17 at the Cass Funeral Home in Lennoxville.The service was conducted by Rev.Blake Walker, with Molly Fox as organist, and George Mac- Dougall sang the solo, \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d.Mr.MacDonald had attended St.Andrew\u2019s Presbyterian Church in Sherbrooke for nearly sixty years.Reverend Walker's fond remarks about George were greatly appreciated by the family.He reminded us of the frugal, yet happy, lifestyle of the Scottish families that settled in the Megantic area.These large families worked very hard and still rejoiced in the social life and stories passed from generation to generation.George is survived by his wife Stena, their son Hugh, daughter Ruth and Derwyn McKinven, and two grandchildren Shona and Trevor.Margaret Morissette is the only remaining sister to mourn his loss.He was predeceased by his son Gordon, 6 brothers and 4 sisters.The committal was held at Malvern Cemetery, Lennoxville.The sound of bagpipe music drifted towards the mourners as they gathered by the grave.Piper Jimmy Moore stood under a nearby tree and piped \u201cAmazing Grace\u201d, a longtime favorite tune of George and the MacDonald family.Casket bearers were his nephews Charles and Gary MacDonald, Bob and Dennis La Mountain, and family friends, Keith MacDonald and Alistair McKinven.Family and friends returned sadly to the family farmhouse where the industrious ladies of the Deacon\u2019s Court served refreshments to the mourners and guests.19¢ per word.Minimum charge $4.50.DUBOIS, Jean-Paul \u2014 At the CHUS, Sherbrooke on Tuesday, November 9,

Pecord Florida gets first win in Forum Canadiens left panthing for air By Bill Beacon MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Rookie Rob Niedermayer and former Canadien Jesse Belanger scored goals as the expansion Florida Panthers won their first NHL game ever at the Forum with a 3-1 victory over Montreal on Wednesday night.Niedermayer scored in the first period, Belanger in the second and Randy Gilhen had one in the third for the Panthers, 6-7-3, whose victory over the Stanley Cup champions came three days after a 3-1 win in Quebec City against the Nordiques.Brian Bellows scored for Montreal, 8-5-2, which has lost two consecutive games at home.Florida goaltender John Vanbiesbrouck was sharp as the Canadiens outshot the Panthers 38-20, including 14-4 in the second period.A crowd announced at 16,195 brayed at the Panthers\u2019 suffocating defensive play and the Canadiens\u2019 inability to create scoring chances.Niedermayer pulled the puck out of a scrum, went in alone and beat Patrick Roy with a high shot from in close for his fourth goal of the season 17:00 into the match.Belanger put Florida up by two on a power play 10:23 into the second period when his point shot along the ice found an opening inside the post.The Canadiens narrowed the margin 30 seconds later when Bellows got free at the side of the net and slid a backhand shot in off the far post.Gilhen banked one in off Roy from behind the net to restore the two-goal lead only 49 seconds into the third period.Montreal had a goal disallowed at 18:22 of the opening period when John LeClair\u2019s shot trickled in through Vanbies- brouck\u2019s equipment, butxookie referee Stephen Walkom; thinking the puck was trapped, blew his whistle before it crossed the line.Notes \u2014 Andrei Lomakin (shoulder) and Mike Hough (knee) are on Florida\u2019s injured list, while Greg Smyth, Evgeny Davydov and Paul Laus were scratched.Ron Wilson, Ed Ronan and Mario Roberge were rested for Montreal.while Kevin Haller (suspended) and Patrice Brisebois (knee) also sat out.\u201cE Whalers 4 Senators 3 HARTFORD, Conn.(AP) \u2014 Brian Propp scored 20 seconds into overtime and the Hartford Whalers ended a 10-game win- less streak with a 4-3 victory over the Ottawa Senators on Wednesday night.Propp took a pass from- Robert Kron off his skate at the right circle and beat goaltender Darrin Madeley to the right side for the winner.Hartford had been 0-9-1 since winning in Chicago 6-2 on Oct.14.The Whalers won after Ottawa rookie Alexandre Daigle scored with 35 seconds left in regulation, tying it 3-3.Daigle\u2019s seventh goal came after the Senators pulled their goalie.Hartford, however, continued to have trouble drawing fans.The game was played before an announced crowd of 7,232, unofficially the seventh- lowest in Whalers\u2019 history.Geoff Sanderson got his team-leading 13th goal and Mark Greig and Andrew Cas- sels added one apiece for the Whalers.Alexei Yashin, who leads the scoring race among NHL rookies, scored his 10th goal and Dave McLIwain also connected for Ottawa, which had won Former Hab Jesse Belanger Cowboys sign Kosar IRVING, Tex.(AP)\u2014 Jimmy Johnson got one of his \u2018Miami boys\u2019 as insurance for another run at the Super Bowl, signing Bernie Kosar to a one-year deal Wednesday as a backup to injured Dallas Cowboy quarterback Troy Aikman.Kosar, who was cut unexpectedly Monday by the Cleveland Browns, made it clear he\u2019s not after Aikman\u2019s job and just wants a chance at a Super Bowl ring.Three times he led the Browns to the AFC title game only to lose.\u2018\u201cThere\u2019s no question Troy Aikman is one of the most brilliant quarterbacks in the league and no way am I here competing for his job,\u201d Kosar said.\u2018\u201cThe shot at a Super Bowl ring was a big factor why I came to Dallas.\u201d Miami, Kansas City and Phi- ; ladelphia tried to woo Kosar, : but his loyalty to Johnson, his .5 2 .a \u2019 .v » + a \u2019 « * .: ¥ * à \u2018 » .¥ 4 Li 5 ° college coach at Miami, was too strong.\u2018\u2018Loyalty means a lot to me,\u201d\u2019 Kosar said.\u201cThey showed a lot of confidence and trust in me.I don\u2019t intend to let anybody down.\u201d Aikman, who is trying to overcome a pulled left hamstring, took the arrival of the veteran Kosar in stride and didn\u2019t see him as a threat.\u201cI think it\u2019s good,\u201d Aikman said.\u201cI think it\u2019s good for the team.\u201d Aikman\u2019s hamstring was still sore on Wednesday and he said \u2018\u2018if there was a game today I couldn\u2019t play.\u201d The Cowboys signed Kosar to a one-year deal in the $500,000 range.Kosar got a cheque for more than $2 million when he was paid off by the Browns.\u201cWe jumped at a chance to get someone the quality of Bernie,\u201d said Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.\u2018\u2018To have him on this team is a tremendous luxury.\u201d Kosar immediately began studying of Cowboys playbook.He was on the field for the afternoon practice.Johnson said he would decide Sunday some 30 minutes before kickoff against the Phoenix Cardinals whether to start Aikman, Jason Garrett or Kosar.Fridge joins Eagles

the Philadelphia Flyers\u2019 first two goals in a 5-3 victory Wednesday night that kept the Buffalo Sabres the only team winless at home this season.Gary Galley, Mike Recchi and Eric Lindros scored the other goals for the Flyers.Buffalo, 0-7 in home games this season, got goals from Derek Plante, Craig Simpson and Pat LaFontaine.The Sabres have lost six in a row at Memorial Auditorium for the

through the pads of goaltender Dominic Roussel and Simpson pushed the loose puck over the goal-line.Thirty seconds later, the Flyers regained their two-goal lead when Recchi used Lindros as a decoy on a 2-on-1, then beat goalie Grant Fuhr to the short side with a wrist shot.Lindros made it 5-2 with a goal four seconds into a power play at 10:45 of the third period.Lindros won the draw back to the point, Greg Hawgood put a low shot on net and Lindros stuffed the rebound past Fuhr.Rangers 2 Jets 1 NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Tony Amonte\u2019s tiebreaking goal midway through the third period sent the New York Rangers to their sixth straight win, 2-1 over the Winnipeg Jets on Wednesday night.Mike Richter made 26 saves as the Rangers extended their unbeaten streak to eight games (7-0-1).Richter has started the last 10 games for New York.Winnipeg had its five-game road unbeaten streak come to an end.Adam Graves, who had scored a shorthanded goal earlier in the game, sent a blind backhand pass

should regular officials go on strike Monday.The 58 members of the NHL Officials Association will vote Friday on the league\u2019s final contract offer \u2014 which calls for an immediate 29 per cent wage increase.The officials want a 60 per cent hike.In the event of a strike, the NHL has lined up 60 officials from minor pro, college and junior ranks to call penalties and handle the lines.The fact that none of the replacement workers has NHL experience worries players.\u201c\u201cWe feel our health could be in jeopardy,\u201d Trevor Linden of the Vancouver Canucks said Wednesday.\u2018It would be a real tragedy if someone got hurt.in a situation where guys were playing out of control because the regular officials weren't there.\u201cI\u2019m not sure where they're (substitute officials) coming from.It\u2019s a pretty scary situation when they have to keep control of 40 big guys.That\u2019s a concern for everyone.\u201d Wayne Gretzky agrees.\u201cThe game has got so much bigger and so much faster in.the time I have been in the league and that is why there are more injuries,\u201d Gretzky said.\u201cIf we don\u2019t have proper officials, that (injuries) is a concern.\u2018\u201cWe have tough enough games going into Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver as it is.Imagine going in without good refs.\u201d Linden said the NHL Players\u2019 Association has not considered the option of boycotting games handled by subs.\u201cIt\u2019s business as usual, no matter what happens, and NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 This time.Frank Thomas was pleasantly surprised.Slighted in the past in the most-valuable-player voting.the Chicago White Sox first baseman Wednesday became the eighth unanimous pick since baseball's American League MVP award was first given in 1931.\u201cI was really shocked I got all 28 votes,\u201d he said.*\u20181 was like, Wow!\u2019 There was no better way to win it.\u201d Thomas hit .317.was second in the major leagues with 128 RBIs and set a club record with 41 homers.He easily beat out Toronto's Paul Moli- tor, who received 13 second- place votes in voting by the Baseball Writers\u2019 Association of America.The other unanimous winners of the AL MVP were Hank Greenberg (1935), Al Ro- sen (1953), Mickey Mantle (1956), Frank Robinson (1966), Denny McLain (1968), Reggie Jackson (1973) and Jose Can- seco (1988).\u201cThis was the longest day of my life,\u201d\u201d Thomas said.\u201cThere was a lot of anticipation going on, and when the call finally came, I got it on the first ring.\u201d Appearing with his wife, Elise, and their 16-month-old son, Sterling, at a Comiskey Park news conference, Thomas said the White Sox have to concentrate on reaching the next level.Toronto beat Chicago in six games in the AL playoffs.\u201cWe might need to go out and get another hitting threat,\u201d said Thomas, who last month agreed to a $29- million, four-year contract extension that runs through 1998.Thomas\u2019s victory gave the White Sox three of the four AL Thomas thrilled to be AL MVP post-season awards.Jack McDowell was voted the Cy Young Award and Gene Lamont was voted manager of the year.AL batting champion John Olerud.Molitor's teammate, was third in voting, followed by Texas outfielder Juan Gonzalez.Seattle's Ken Griffey Jr.was fifth.Thomas receives a $100,000 bonus for winning.Molitor and Olerud received $25,000 bonuses.Thomas was among the AL's top 10in walks (112), runs (106), on-base percentage (.426) and slugging percentage (.607).Plus, his 77 extra- base hits broke the White Sox mark set by Joe Jackson in 1920.Thomas\u2019s award may have eased his disappointment with last year\u2019s MVP voting.He finished eighth behind winner Dennis Eckersley, and said he felt his .323 average, 24 home runs and 115 RBIs should have placed him higher.Thomas, 25, has hit more than .300 with more than 100 RBIs and 100 walks in each of his first three full seasons in the majors.Thomas got off a strong start last season with 21 RBIs in April, the most by a White Sox player since the team starting keeping records in 1964.He had an 18-game hitting streak in June, longest for Chicago this year.At the all-star break, Thomas was batting .302 with 20 home runs and 68 RBIs, although it appeared he was not the leading candidate for the MVP award because Olerud was batting higher than .400.Not until Olerud dipped below 400 for the last time during the first week in August did his grip on the trophy begin to slip.: we\u2019ll analyze the situation from there,\u201d says Linden.\u2018But it depends on how the games go.If there was a serious injury that could change our philosophy.It\u2019s going to be scary.\u201d Winnipeg\u2019s Tie Domi, one of the league\u2019s most notorious fighters, thinks the replacements will be in over their heads.\u201cIt would be unsafe out there with guys with no NHL or AHL experience,\u201d he said.\u201cThis is the best league in the world and we have the best referees and linesmen.You need them.It\u2019s not like they walked in the back door and got a job handed to them \u2014 they paid their dues.\u201d But Brian Burke, the NHL's director of hockey operations, says the players need not be concerned for their safety.\u201cThey should not be worried,\u201d said Burke.\u201cThey are qualified.If we thought they could not do the job, they were not qualified, we would not be putting on the games.But our doors will be open for business on Monday.\u201d Los Angeles Kings coach Barry Melrose seems to have no preference who works the games.\u201cI\u2019m paid to coach a hockey team and I'm going to coach it even if (NHL commissioner) Gary Bettman\u2019s refereeing,\u201d said Melrose.\u2018It won\u2019t change our preparation.It won\u2019t change how we handle a game.\u201d There was virtually nothing to report on the labor front between the league and its officials Thursday.The officials, already irked by the NHL going public with its salary offer, were upset that the 55 linesmen and referees each received an overnight courier package Wednesday containing the league\u2019s offer.\u201cThis is very unprofessional,\u201d\u2019 said Don Meehan, the player agent who is leading the officials\u2019 negotiating team.\u201cThey will be insulted about this kind of communication.\u201d The league proposed to raise a first-year referee's salary to $65,000 from $50,000 and increase that to $80.000 in his fourth year.Linesmen\u2019s salaries would jump to $45,000 from $33,000 and rise to $54.000 in four years.Canadian rugby flies strong to surprise Wales CARDIFF (AP) \u2014 Lock forward Al Charron scored an injury-time try, converted by fly half Gareth Rees, as Canada gained a startling 26-24 rugby victory Wednesday over Wales.Wales led 24-19 as the game went into injury time.But the Canadians scored their second try to capture a famous victory at the home of Welsh rugby.Canadian centre Ian Stuart scored the only other try of the game in the second hif after the visitor had trailed 9-6 at halftime.Center Neil Jenkins scored all Wales\u2019s points with eight penalties as most of the game was restricted to a kicking competition with Rees, who kicked two conversions and four penalties.The lead changed hands several times before the first try was scored.Trailing 15-12, Canada pressed the Welsh close to their line and.when a clearance from Adrian Davies was charged down after a five-metre scrum, Canadian captain Stuart pounced for a try which Rees converted.That gave Canada a 19-15 lead with 21 minutes to go and Jenkins cut that lead to one point with his sixth penalty two minutes later.Jenkins\u2019s seventh penalty put the Welsh two points ahead and then landed another in the last few minutes of the game.Then came Charron\u2019s late winning try.After No.8 forward Colin McKenzie had been pulled down just short of the Welsh Sport short line, the Canadians swiftly recycled the ball and, with an overlap, Charron was able to cross the line to tie the score at 24-24.Rees then kicked the conversion for a Canadian victory.- ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast (AP) -\u2014 A transport plane evacuated 36 wounded Ghanaians on Wednesday, among the worst injured in deadly fighting that erupted from a soccer match.The exodus will begin in earnest today with convoys of buses transporting several thousand Ghanaians afraid to remain in the Ivory Coast.Ghana\u2019s government reported at least 23 of its citizens were killed and 121 wounded last week when Ivorians armed with machetes, rocks, clubs and daggers hunted down Gha- naians. copper _12\u2014The RECORD\u2014 Thursday, November 11.1993 Sl 2 In Flanders fields the poppies blow In Flanders Fields (of Guelph, Canada)
