The fund which manages Quebecers\u2019 pensions achieved a return of 19.7 per cent last year, for a total net income of $7.7 billion, the Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec reported Thursday.This is not as good a return as the average of other North American pension funds, admitted chairman Jean-Claude Delorme at a news conference, but \u201cit\u2019s satisfactory.\u201d Other pension funds have a higher proportion of their funds in stocks, which had a banner year, noted Delorme, while the Caisse keeps a higher proportion of fixed-rate, low-risk bonds.\u201cYou can\u2019t compare us to other pension funds,\u201d added Guy Savard, president.\u201cOur depositors restrict us toa more conservative mix.\u201d However, in stocks alone the Toronto Stock Exchange TSE 300 index grew by 32.6 per cent, while the Caisse\u2019s Canadian stock holdings grew by 26.2 per cent.Savard said the TSE 300 includes a high percentage of gold mining stocks which jumped 105 per cent last year.The Caisse also had a high exposure to losers like Northern Telecom and Laidlaw.But the fund's bond portfolio earned 18.4 per cent, compared with 18.1 per cent for the Sco- tiaMcLeod index.Forty-eight per cent of the Caisse funds are in bonds and 38 per cent in shares.But Savard said that over the last 10 years the Caisse has averaged the same as other pension funds, 11.9 per cent.At the end of 1993 the fund, largest in Canada, had assets of $47.1 billion, up $5.8 billion from 1992.It earned only 4.5 per cent in 1992.The provincial pension fund accounts for about $16 billion of the Caisse assets,

of rerouting two tributaries of the Moise River where salmon is abundant.\u201cWe are ready to look at a way of including Phase IT in the pro- Ject as soon as the governments give the green

Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson and 18 other federal and provincial officials arrived on time.\u201cWe mailed them priority post Wednesday night for delivery the next day,\u201d said Green, co- president of the SVP environmentalist group.\u201cIf they didn\u2019t arrive before the long weekend, there's going to be an awful smell.\u201d Angered over the ended funding of a fish toxicity testing program, SVP sent the politicians and bureaucrats a frozen perch or bass caught in the St.Lawrence River.The gesture is part protest and part pun, timed for April Fool's 6\u201d cold cut combo with purchase of a large drink Day.The French expression for an April fool\u2019s prank is a poisson d\u2019Avril \u2014 an April fish.Each fish mailed by Green to Ottawa or Quebec City also contained a kind of poisson pen letter\u2014 a briefexplanation ofthe urgent need to stop pollution of the St.Lawrence and clean it up.In particular, Green objects to a decision by both governments to stop the funding of an SVP program that informed sports fishermen on the St.Lawrence of the dangers of eating their catch.Since 1988, fishermen have been invited to send any fish caught in the St.Lawrence to SVP.The organization had the fish analysed, then informed the sender of the toxic chemicals the fish contained and where they came from.He said that one company which had been pouring mercury directly into Lac-St-Louis near Montreal received about 800 letters from angry fishermen in five years and eventually stopped using mercury in its industrial processes.The funding cuts meant a private laboratory has not been paid the $75,000 owed by SVP for analysing 800 fish caught last summer and will not release the results until it gets the money.\u201cBeluga whales aren\u2019t the only species endangered by the St.Lawrence.People are too,\u201d Green said.The organization said Thursday that if funding for the program is not restored, it will ask an estimated 200,000 St- Lawrence sports fishermen to mail their catches this summer to federal and provincial fisheries offices.¢ Limited time only 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, April 1, 1994 Seven years is

Singapore.She found that previous trips home sa TRE SEE TE ' ) were always too short for her to spend enough time with her family.Because she doesn\u2019t know when she will be coming back, Maggie

babies.\u201cThese new initiatives are providing practical, immediate assistance in areas of primary importance to the Ukrainian people,\u201d Foreign Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet said Thursday.\u201cThey underline Canada\u2019s special relationship with Ukraine and our commitment to help Ukraine address some of the most difficult challenges during this period of transition.\u201d

industrial countries to discuss RYAN: Ukraine\u2019s economic problems at the Naples G-7 summit next July, said Ouellet\u2019s press secretary, Bob Peck.Ouellet also invited Kravchuk to visit Canada, though no date was discussed.A major part of the Canadian aid \u2014 $5 million \u2014 is to train environmental specialists and to study water quality in the polluted Dnipro River.Seventy per cent of Ukrainians draw their drinking water from the river.INFANT CARE The rest of the money will be used to help people.There will be $2.5 million to train Ukrainian maternal and infant care specialists; $3 million to pay for a Canadian Red Cross airlift of medical supplies; and $1 million to'buy children\u2019s vaccines: Ouellet and Zlenko also signed a declaration that underlined Canada\u2019s commitment to help Ukraine join international organizations and enter trading arrangements.\u201cI am sure that the visit of Minister Ouellet to my country will strengthen his impression of the situation here,\u201d Zlenko said, \u201cand that will be transferred to those many Ukrainian- Canadians who are looking forward to assisting Ukraine.\u201d Ouellet rejected suggestions that Canadian

influential Le Devoir, where he was an acerbic critic of both Liberal and Pequiste governments and where legend has it he insisted on being consulted by government officials on every major issue.A widower and father of five children, Ryan is known for his herculean capacity for work \u2014 regularly putting in 16-hour days.According to aides, his idea of relaxation after work is to pour over

teach Delays frustrate victims and school board By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 Almost 28 months after pleading guilty to assaulting five former pupils, and more than 20 years after he molested them, a former Eastern Townships teacher may learn next week whether the province intends to revoke his teaching licence.In November 1992, Brian Woods, now 44, was convicted of fondling five boys aged 10 to 14 during classes he taught at Asbestos-Danville-Shipton (ADS) Elementary School between 1976 and 1980.At the hearing in Sherbrooke next Wednesday, an education ministry committee will follow up on a complaint by the Eastern Townships School Board (ETSB), which employed Woods until his trial in September 1991.\u201cFollowing his declaration of guilt I immediately wrote the government on behalf of the school board to have his licence revoked,\u201d ETSB director general Combined bank career with love for outdoors Hugh Auger said in a recent interview.HURT OTHERS But no action has been taken until now.Auger said he\u2019s worried that \u201cthe lives of other young male students could be adversely affected\u201d if Woods continues to teach.Woods was given a three-year suspended sentence and ordered to do 200 hours of community work.He was not ordered to stay away from children.The boys who testified against Woods recall being told by police at the time that Woods would go to jail.News that he would not lose his teaching licence after the conviction came as a double shock.\u201cI really thought he\u2019d lose his licence,\u201d one of the victims said recently.\u201cI really believed that knowing he had a prison sentence would mean he could never do it again.\u201d \u201cBut the same thing happened that happened in Grade 8, and nothing happened again,\u201d said the victim.LET DOWN TWICE Now in his mid-twenties, the victim recently told the Record how the school board initially downplayed students\u2019 complaints about Woods\u2019 behavior.He recalled the horror he felt afterward at having to spend the rest of the school year in the same class with his attacker.In an emotionally-charged interview, the victim's mother remembered bringing her son\u2019s distress to the attention of the sehool board, whose only reply was that keeping the youngster in Woods\u2019 class \u201cwas the best thing for everyone concerned.\u201d PUNISHMENT ENOUGH At his sentencing on November 7, 1991, Judge Gérald Des- marais argued that Woods\u2019 loss of job and reputation were punishment enough.He said Woods was being treated and was not likely to commit a similar crime.Woods\u2019 lawyer Thomas Walsh, said at the time that Woods could not find another teaching job.\u201cThe doors are closed to him forever,\u201d Walsh told the court.But news of the trial failed to reach the Kativik School Board, which hired Woods last fall to teachin the remote community of Kangirsuk in Northern Quebec.His teaching position there was terminated after one term, following allegations of misconduct.Kativik officials, who are still investigating Woods, have refused to release details except to say he was fired for three reasons, including insubordination.In the meantime, ETSB officials, as well as Woods\u2019 victims and their families, are angered at the long delay in the licence hearing.Disappointed with the sentence Woods received, they want to ensure he is never again placed in a position of trust with young boys.OUTRAGEOUS DELAYS ETSB\u2019s Auger has written to Education Minister Jacques Chagnon to complain about the \u201coutrageous delays\u201d in the review process.Although the committee was appointed in December 1991, its members have yet to meet.Meetings were scheduled on several occasions, Auger said, but all have been cancelled, including the one that was to be held last December.Auger said he and the board lawyer showed up only to discover the meeting had been cancelled a month earlier, without either being notified.\u201cOur major concern, aside from Brian Woods, is that the appeal process can be delayed this way,\u201d Auger said.According to an education ministry spokeswoman, the inquiry has been delayed over and over by Woods\u2019 lawyer, who first challenged the legality of the inquiry and then cancelled further meetings because either he, his client or the pshychiatrist he hired to testify couldn\u2019t make it.Sophie Gagnon, an aide to the education minister, said the delays are reasonable for Quebec\u2019s judicial system.She added that the postponements did not prejudice Woods because he and his lawyers asked for them.NO MORE DELAYS Gagnon said no more delays will be tolerated and next week\u2019s hearing will go ahead as planried.She also said her boss would not comment on the Woods case or the delays.In the meantime, officials at ETSB believe there has to be some way to keep convicted child molesters out of the classroom.Brian Woods \u201cshould not be permitted to return to any classroom,\u201d Auger said, adding that some kind of national network is needed to pool informatmon about known child abusers.Howard Barter: A cheerful earful at age 100 Hogorbond 0

anything to do with his good health.The long winter has prevented him from going outside for his regular walks, so Barter stays in shape with indoor exercise equipment.As for tobacco, Barter says he

Eastern Townships since 1897 Real jobs with a real future As industrial development officials and politicians ponder the future of the Hyundai auto plant in Bromont, they should learn a lesson from the fiasco and avoid repeating the same mistakes.After spending hundreds of million of dollars to build the plant, provide it with cbstly infrastructures, and woo the Korean car builder, the town has little to show for it but a white elephant \u2014 one which never functioned at more than 20 per cent capacity.Overnight, the loss of Hyundai drastically changed the economic picture of the Granby-Bromont region.From a record gain of 193 new jobs for 1993, Hyundai's shutdown left the area in the hole by more than 600 jobs.Large industries, with high-paying manufacturing jobs, are few and far between.And when they fall, the economic fallout is widespread.Not only are the 841 workers out of a job, but local merchants, schools and the real estate market also suffer.Now, everyone in the region is willing to take another gamble.Attract another Too MANY COOKS.d NtAANOPÉ.giant to save the region and hope it doesn\u2019t go belly up.However, that is an unrealistic goal.For the past few years, the only real economic development in Quebec has come from small and medium-sized businesses.That's were the lasting jobs are being created.That's where Quebec's future \u2018prosperity lies.What municipal, provincial and federal officials should be looking at is turning the huge plant into an industrial motel, ready to greet local entrepreneurs ready to expand and create real jobs with a real future.Rather than spending a fortune trying to attract another white elephant, the region should spend its money to encourage regional entrepreneurs who have a future and who will not abandon the region when the economic picture is rosier in Ontario or on the other side of the border.RITA LEGAULT Many negative myths permitted to circulate Canada should keep an open door \u2014 and an open mind \u2014 when it comes to immigration, says Frank Dimant, executive vice-president of B\u2019nai Brith Canada.Excerpts from the Covenant, a semimonthly published by B'nai Brith: Immigration Minister Sergio Marchi and the Liberal government deserve nothing but praise for committing Canada to immigration levels at approximately one per cent of our population.This is a formula for success in a changing world.Canada is a country of First Nations peoples and of immigrants to these shores.In the last century Canada saw the immigration of peoples from around the globe, earlier on primarily from Europe, and more recently, as racist discriminatory policies were curtailed, from Asia and Africa.There is little doubt we have been significantly enriched by this process, yet under nine years of the previous government's rule many negative myths about immigration were permitted to circulate and were even promoted to an extent by that government\u2019s policies.As to the benefits of immigration, one recent study has shown that immigrants contribute to a net rise in all Canadians\u2019 incomes, that their arrival does not push up the unemployment rates, but rather creates new markets and that Canadians\u2019 increased contact with immigrants increases their acceptance of different cultures.From What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press In law, the bigger fish usually win By Trish Crawford Toronto Star TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Brian Taylor, an unemployed truck driver with six kids, has been slapped with a $100,000 libel suit by the Metropolitan Toronto separate school board.The board, which objected to comments by Taylor, used taxpayers\u2019 money last December to hire a top law firm.Taylor, who lives in a modest home with his wife, a teacher, was shaken when one of his kids asked, \u201cDaddy, are we going to lose our house?\u201d That's about the only asset Taylor has.If the board wins its case against him, he'll not just owe the $100,000, he may also be ordered to pay the board\u2019s legal bills.Taylor's not quite so frightened now that lawyer Tim Danson has taken on his case and launched a countersuit for damages.Taylor is also hoping for financial support from the parents\u2019 group on whose behalf he lobbied the board.FIGHT CITY HALL But Taylor should still be worried.It\u2019s not often the little guy can fight city hall and win.In November, political scientist Peter McCormick analysed every written decision by the Supreme Court of Canada since 1949 and discovered the bigger the fish, the bigger the win.The Crown won 67 per cent of the time, the federal government 61.9 per cent and big business 57.2 per cent.More than 3,000 cases were recorded.Down the scale were unions, winning 44.7 per cent of the time, and individuals, 44.2 per cent.\u201cJust as some sports organizations have more of the resources that make a good team, so some liti- \u201d gants have more of the resources that allow them to put together a good case,\u201d said McCormick.Access to justice is often a matter of the wealth, expertise and prestige of litigants and their lawyers.\u201cAnyone who says we have equal access to justice is just plain wrong,\u201d says Peter Russell, a political scientist at the University of Toronto.\u201cThe little guy has always got more difficulty than the big guy due to resources.There are grave injustices.\u201d Many of these are borne by the middle classes, Russell says.SLAPDASH COVERAGE Legal aid plans provide wide if often slapdash coverage for the poor.The rich, of course, can afford top-notch legal advice.But those in the middle class \u201ccan be wiped out, lose their house.\u201d Rhoda Moldofsky is a 59-year-old insurance agent who has been fighting an unjust dismissal case against her former employer, an insurance company, for three years.She\u2019s starting to wonder how much longer she can fight.Her husband, also an insurance agent, is on a disability pension and her retirement nest egg is .dwindling.\u201cUsually, people crawl away into the sunset.I will not crawl away,\u201d says Moldofsky, who worked for the same company for 16 years before losing her job.\u201cI'm not licking my chops and saying I'll take them for a million.It's about what the hell they have done to my life.\u201d And although she wants her day in court, Moldofsky admits, \u201cFinancially, 1 cannot hold out against them.I wish we had contingency fees.Then I'd be on the same footing.\u201d KEY CHALLENGE Supreme Court Justice Jack Major told a Canadian Bar Association meeting in November that access to justice is one of the key challenges facing the justice system.For the middle class, he said, \u201cthe costs of lawyers\u2019 services are inordinate.\u201d He suggested Canadian lawyers do more work free.Academics, judges and lawyers suggest other solutions, including: \u2014Legal insurance plans like the one involving 55,000 members of the Canadian Auto Workers union and their families, which would pay the costs of basic legal work and help defray the costs of more complicated cases.\u2014Cheaper, speedier alternatives to court, such as mediation in family matters.\u2014Contingency fees so an average person with a good cause can afford to fight a case.Lawyers would agree to take on a case for a percentage of the final award.No award, no fee.\u2014Increased use of advocacy groups like the Women\u2019s Legal Education and Action Fund or the Minority Advocacy and Rights Council, which try to advance the cases of individuals tackling big government or big business.\u2014Class action suits, which enable individuals suffering a similar wrong to seek damages together as one group.Lawyers hit by hard times hit too By Mike Blanchfield Ottawa Citizen OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Jean Chrétien saved taxpayers millions last year by scrapping the controversial EH-101 helicopter upgrade for the Canadian military.The prime minister\u2019s move also helped some up-and-coming Ottawa lawyers save a few bucks.One Ottawa company, stung by Chrétien\u2019s decision, had to sell its office furniture.That's when Ottawa lawyer Joseph Hamon swooped in and picked up a boardroom table \u2014 it seats eight comfortably \u2014 for $200.At other sales, his associates picked up used filing cabinets, room dividers, desks and bookcases, which saved the fledgling law firm thousands in start-up costs.Their parsimonious approach is just one indication of how the recession is affecting the legal profession.John Grisham novels like The Firm and movies like Philadelphia depict lawyers who wear expensive clothes, drive fancy cars and work in lavish oak and leather offices.But for many lawyers, the recession has meant they may never have those trappings.SCAVENGERS \u201cWe're sophisticated scavengers,\u201d says Hamon, 34.In the 1970s and '80s, times were good and many lawyers had money to burn.\u201cThey'd open a catalogue 20 years ago and say, \u2018TT! have that desk for $1,500.We can't do that.\u201d Today, lawyers\u2019 salaries are down.Job opportunities are scarce.The profession is overcrowded.In February more than 1,000 new lawyers were called to the Ontario bar, but some estimates suggest as many as one-third won't find work.The latest Statistics Canada figures pegged the 1990 annual income for an Ontario lawyer at about $80,000.Nationally, the figure is under $69,000.But lawyers say it is not uncommon for young lawyers, usually those in private practice, to make as little as $20,000 a year.Incomes have been hurt by a poor real estate market, a weak appetite for new corporate ventures and less money in the coffers of government- funded legal aid programs.For lawyers, that means less business, less money and more stress.STRUGGLING The Law Society of Upper Canada, which licenses and sets standards for the legal profession in Ontario, has set up programs to help struggling lawyers.They offer alcohol addiction counselling, advice on legal issues, counselling on how to keep proper books and records.\u201cI don\u2019t see any bright horizon for lawyers\u2019 incomes,\u201d says Ottawa lawyer Colin McKinnon, a member of the law society\u2019s board of directors.When McKinnon graduated from law school in the early 70s, \u201cyou had your choice of jobs.Most of my classmates could pick and choose between firms.\u201d Laura Clark, 29, who was called to the bar in 1993, couldn\u2019t find a job with a firm that would guarantee her a regular salary.So she started her own practice with Hamon and two other lawyers.\u201cMy financial goals right now are to pay my bills and have a little left over to have a meal in a restaurant.\u201d Today in history By The Canadian Press The Royal Canadian Air Force was established 70 years ago today \u2014 in 1924.The federal government had been pressured to develop a distinct Canadian air force after many Canadians had served impressively in the Royal Air Force during the First World War.The RCAF lasted until 1968 when it was unified with the Royal Canadian Navy and the Canadian Army to form the Canadian Armed Forces.Also on this day in: 1734 \u2014

Reuters-CP VIENNA (CP) \u2014 The Chernobyl nuclear reactor in Ukraine is still unsafe, a team of safety assessors sent by the International Atomic Energy Agency to examine the plant earlier this month reported.\u201cThe review found numerous safety deficiencies in the two units of the plant which remain operational,\u201d the IAEA, the UN\u2019s nuclear watchdog, said today in a statement.A reactor at Chernobyl blew up in 1986, causing 31 immediate deaths.Ukrainian authorities estimated that 12,000 deaths resulted from the blast in that country alone.In Kiev, where Foreign Affairs Minister Andre Ouellet is visiting, Ukraine's nuclear power authority played down the report, saying it merely amounted to a \u201cwarning\u201d to improve work at the site.The Ukrainian parliament decided in October last year to postpone closing the two operating units, originally scheduled for the end o 1993.3 NO DANGER \u201cThis means nothing,\u201d Mikhail \u2018Umanets, head of Ukraine's\u2019 nuclear power authority, said of the report.\u201cIf there was a serious danger, they would simply have ordered the plant shut down.\u201d But a senior official responsible for the 30-kilometre security zone around the plant, site of the world\u2019s worst nuclear accident, accused officials of making light of deficiencies.He told Reuters the report should be heeded.Valentyn Kupny, deputy commandant of the Chernobyl security zone, said: \u201cThe faster the Chernobyl station is shut down the better it will be for both Ukraine and its neighbors.Those who support Chernobyl\u2019s continued operation are not talking about upgrading safety but about (millions of dollars) invested in Chernobyl.\u201d Ouellet announced in Kiev today that Canada will contribute $11.5 million in new aid to help Ukraine deal with its communist-era legacy of environmental and public health problems.A major chunk of the new aid \u2014 $5 million \u2014 is to train environmental specialists and study water quality in the polluted Dnipro River basin, from which 70 per cent of Ukrainians draw their drinking water.TLL a RII La Table 4 ES Editorial Tg ot © ven Behind the news To

emergency and ordered the army into the Zulu stronghold of Natal on Thursday.It was a direct challenge to the Zulu leader who opposes the all- race elections on April 26-28.De Klerk\u2019s move was aimed at stemming the violence in the province and ensuring Natal residents could vote.But it could cause a bloody showdown with Zulu nationalist leader Mangosuthu Buthelezi and his warriors.Buthelezi, head of Inkatha Freedom party, said sending the troops is an \u201cinvasion\u201d of KwaZu- lu, the Zulus\u2019 self-governed homeland within Natal.He said the sight of South African soldiers would only anger his followers.\u201cWhat is being done is really comparable to someone holding a woman for someone to rape that woman.It amounts to that for us,\u201d he said.Buthelezi and his nephew, Zulu King Goodwill Zwelethini, are demanding an independent kingdom.They say they fear that a victory by their main rival, the ANC, will crush the rights of the seven million Zulus.Inkatha and the African National Congress have been engaged in a war, blamed for some 11,000 deaths since 1990.In the past three weeks, Inkatha supporters have disrupted attempts by the ANC and other parties to campaign in KwaZulu.Violence in Natal has gone up dramatically.The province of 6.5 million people had 290 political murders in March, the highest monthly total in three years.De Klerk said his decision was based on the \u201ctotal picture as it is today\u201d and advice from his military and intelligence sources.It came two days after Buthe- lezi and the king had cold- shouldered his plea for an emergency meeting with himself and Mandela.Appealing for public calm, de Klerk stressed there is no political motive behind the crackdown and no plan to remove Buthelezi.Buthelezi\u2019s \u201clawfully elected\u201d KwaZulu\u2019s government would remain if it co-operates, he said, and Inkatha would be free to mount a \u201cdemocratic and peaceful opposition\u201d to the vote.Political meetings will be allowed if authorities are notified, but soldiers will have the power to ban marches and rallies, detain suspects and seize weapons.De Klerk

Broken Record Rumpie Award for perpetuating negative stereotypes about fat people.The reason you have been selected is because of your insistence on using that tired phrase \"killing yourself with a knife and a fork.\" Abundantly yours - LEE MARTINDALE, PUBLISHER/ EDITOR, RUMP PARLIAMENT MAGAZINE, DALLAS DEAR LEE MARTINDALE: You can be sure I shall treasure this symbol of recognition, along with a few others I have received over the years.I am placing it in my refrigerator, next to the hot fudge sauce and whipped cream topping.I shall, however, continue to remind my readers that excess weight is unsightly and unhealthy and can rob one of some precious years.Dear Ann Landers: I'm a single parent with a 9-year-old daughter.I am also an only child.Three years ago, my parents split up.They had been married for 40 years when my father started to see a much younger woman who was married and had a 13-year-old son.Mom was devastated and is still angry.She has told me repeatedly that my daughter and I should have nothing to do with my father because of what he did to her.She claims we are not showing her the proper respect if we continue to see Dad when his girlfriend is around.Ann, I love my father, and my daughter loves her grandpa.I don't believe my mother has the right to tell me when we can and cannot visit him.My daughter enjoys being at Dad's home, and she is friends with his girlfriend's son.I intend to continue seeing him, whether his girlfriend is visiting or not.hear is mine.Well done.\u2018The problem is that we have to lie to my mother when she asks questions about where we have been.I hate the fact that I am teaching my daughter to lie.Mom and I have had many arguments over this, and there have been times when we haven't spoken for several days.I need your help.- TIRED OF FIBBING IN Ann Landers DEAR TIRED: It's time you grew up and issued your declaration of independence.Stop lying, and tell your mother the truth.Don't be apologetic.Ignore her anger and accusations.When she sees that you can no longer be manipulated, she will leave you alone.Dear Ann Landers: This is for \"Near the Boiling Point,\" who thought she had to answer nosy, insensitive questions about her divorce and why her ex-husband had custody of the children.I happen to be a single, adoptive mother of a 13-year-old girl.Dozens of strangers seem to believe it is perfectly OK to ask intensely questions such as \"Where's the child's father?\" I have tried responding to that question politely by saying, \"I really don't know,\" but that only brings additional questions.After becoming totally fed up, I came up with an extremely effective answer to the \"where-is- your-child's-father\" question.I now say, \"We shot him for asking dumb questions that were none of his
