golden parachutes given to a pair of executives and accusations it\u2019s purging Liberal appointees.Domtar Inc., whose principal shareholders are Crown agencies, awarded more than $2 million in severance pay this month to two fired executives with close ties to the Liberal party.The golden parachutes drew angry reactions on the province's editorial pages and open-line talks shows.On the job for just a month, Premier Jacques Parizeau and PQ ministers have condemned the Domtar pay outs and demanded an explanation from the company.But PQ Finance Minister Jean Campeau has remained conspicuously silent.That might be because Cam- peau himself received $375,000 in severance and was allowed to keep a company-furnished Volvo when he stepped down as Dom- tar chairman in March

battlefield stress but can crop up years after the veteran returns home.It first gained wide recognition among U.S.soldiers in the Vietnam War.The Senate committee on veterans affairs recommended

arrive and for the victims to be extracted from the wreckage,\u201d he said.A blood sample was nonetheless taken for medical purposes and could possibly be used if charges are brought, said

the past four years he has been promoted to rear admiral, and served for two years as defence attache in Washington.He now works in Ottawa as the Navy's chief of personnel policy and resource

Cowansville, says breaking the silence and being with other survivors of sexual took almost two hours to decide on how to spend a government allocation of $550,790 to improve services to seniors in the region.Board member Nicole Dorais, who objected to the percentage of funds allocated to volunteer organizations, said debates on how to spend money on community groups always leads to lengthy debate.\u201cWe spend a crazy amount of time to distribute a minimal amount of money to community groups and a few minutes to allocate millions,\u201d Dorais pointed out and debate dragged on and the halth board was still at the fourth item on the agenda well past 10 p.m.The board called called for the money to be split half and half between long term care facilities and home care.But the debate

to do away with the periodic renewals of hunting permits.Since March 31 all valid hunting cards are considered permanent.If your hunting card expired after that date, then all you have to dois present your card where you buy your hunting permits.A special sticker will be attached to the card to show that it is now permanent.If your card expired before March 31 of this year, or if it is damaged, lost or stolen, you must fill out a form available wherever you can buy hunting licences.If the renewal is made before October 31 the cost for the permanent hunting card will be $7.50.After that date the cost will be $25.It is necessary to have a valid hunting card in order to be able to buy a hunting licence in Quebec.SHERBROOKE (MC) \u2014 No one was injured when fire destroyed a house in east

Canada\u2019s social safety net, it is bound to encounter a number of opponents, including the grey lobby.More than 300 seniors in Toronto held a rally Thursday to protest against the federal government\u2019s proposed social reforms.Carrying signs with slogans demanding that the social safety net be saved, many were taking part in their first-ever protest march.Seniors across Canada have much to lose as Human Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy looks at ways to reduce social spending.Seniors are the largest consumers of health care and collect billions from Canada\u2019s pension funds.But seniors are only receiving their due after years of hard work, raising children, and making Canada what it is today.While seniors have a share of the debt, we cannot impoverish them at the expense of other cuts.Why should seniors suffer because the federal government has been careless with their pension money?Private pension funds and indeed government funds like Quebec\u2019s Caisse de Dépôt et Placement are making billions in interest, paying pensions and putting aways reserves for future payments.Yet the federal pension plan may go bankrupt long before most Canadians who are forced to pay into it retire.As the government looks at the social safety net it must carefully \u2018avoid cuts affecting those who can afford it the least.Seniors on fixed incomes cannot bear the brunt of years of careless spending and political mistakes.Let's cut the fat before sending the vultures after the weak.RITA LEGAULT Letters to the Editor Ruling impedes efforts to reduce impaired driving Dear Sir: The September 29 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada in the Prosper case ruling that the police must hold off administering a breathalyser test to an accused until he or she can consult legal counsel raises a very serious concern.That decision, in the strong opinion of the Canada Safety Council, will effectively impede the efforts of police in their efforts to reduce the incidence of impaired driving in this country \u2014 at a time when significant results have been achieved over the past 10 years.Breathalyser tests lose their reliability the longer they are applied after the consumption of alcohol.Two hours is often cited as the time-frame after which the tests are considered to be ineffective.The ruling may put an end to the breathalyser test as an effective traffic safety countermeasure aimed at reducing the incidence of impaired driving, Canada\u2019s most serious crimimal code offence.It will also thwart the efforts of people working in the public health and safety fields.The public interest and public safety will be compromised.This will certainly not be in the better interests of Canada and its citizens.The Canada Safety Council submits that police must not be legally hampered in their ongoing efforts to reduce the incidence of impaired driving.This is the challenge now facing government.The Supreme Court decision runs counter to a Quebec Court of Appeal decision in June that ruled that motorists can be pulled over at random by police even if no visible infraction has been committed.That decision upheld the legality of sobriety checks

user-friendly leadership campaign.Albertans who wanted to vote in the province's Liberal leadership race only had to sign up in advance and phone in their selection on Nov.12.But the high-tech approach is turning into a low-key kerfuffle for those trying to whip up interest in the five candidates vying for the provincial Liberal helm.The campaign got off to a sleepy start in July after Laurence Decore stepped down as party leader.Albertans were more interested in mountain holidays and summer festivals than a party unable to present a distinct alternative to the Conservative government of Ralph Klein.\u201cIts been a non-event in the minds of Albertans up to this point,\u201d admits Terry Kirkland, a member of the legislature who's campaigning for fellow caucus member Adam Germain.\u201cAnd if it doesn\u2019t get a tremendous number of voters out, I think that will give the wrong message to Klein.\u201d BYPASSING PROCESS The Liberals are bypassing the traditional delegate selection process in which members attend meetings in their regions to choose delegates who vote for a candidate on their behalf at a leadership convention.\u201cDelegate selection meetings in the past have been raucous affairs with lots of allegations of skulduggery \u2014 this system doesn\u2019t have that,\u201d says Rob Van Walleghem, the party\u2019s executive director.But with fewer such headline- grabbing events, there has been less publicity.Alonger campaign \u2014 almost four months in total \u2014 has also made it difficult to build up momentum, concedes Yolande Gagnon, a former member of the legislature who is working for candidate and legislative member Grant Mitchell.Gagnon also wonders whether the phone voting system is too complicated.\u201cI think it\u2019s an exciting idea, except a lot of people don\u2019t understand how it\u2019s going to work.\u201cThey don\u2019t realize if they don\u2019t get a personal identification number they can\u2019t vote.Some don\u2019t have a touch-tone phone, which they need.\u201d TECHNICAL TROUBLES The company hired to conduct the vote, Maritime Telephone and Telegraph, ran into trouble with its handling of the Nova Scotia Liberal leadership vote in 1992.The phone-in voting system crashed during that convention.The firm also set up a similar vote for British Columbia Liberals.There are other potential bugs for the Alberta vote.Voting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 a.m.on Saturday, Nov.12.The early start was arranged in part to accommodate the CBC, which has to cut to the Canadian Football League's western semifinal at 2 p.m.Gagnon questions how many Albertans will be home on the Remembrance Day long weekend.And Kirkland worries they may miss the vote because of the early start.\u201cAt 10:30 people are just pushing away from their morning coffee.I think we're too busy trying to accommodate the CBC.\u201d Another Liberal, Randy Kerr, says people may have difficulty following the correct procedure when they vote because many don\u2019t know what the pound key is on touch- : tone phones.There\u2019s also the problem of running a campaign against a premier who is one of the most popular politicians in the country.\u201cThe press and some people have written off the Liberals because Klein is doing so well in the polls,\u201d says Kerr, campaign manager for Sine Chadi, a member of the legislature.\u201cThere hasn\u2019t been a real opposition in Alberta for so long and people don't think it\u2019s crucial for the democratic process.\u201d Republicans think God\u2019s on their side By Chris Morris WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 It was an 18th-century French general who once reflected that God is usually on the side of the big battalions.It\u2019s the Republicans in the midterm political wars in the United States who like to think He\u2019s on their side now.In churches and assembly halls throughout the United States, but especially in the South and the Midwest, the religious are joining forces to fight for conservative values from the school board to the White House.Although the Christian right has influenced American politics for at least the past decade \u2014 there was Jerry Falwell\u2019s Moral Majority and Pat Roberston\u2019s 1988 presidential bid \u2014 this is the year, and these are the elections, when the movement believes its power is really taking hold.In Virginia, for example, evangelicals are euphoric about the strong campaign being waged by Republican Senate candidate Ollie North \u2014 the former marine involved in the Iran-Contra operation that rocked Ronald Reagan's presidency.North is one of scores of Republican candidates who say they're riding a wave of prayer that will lift them to the Senate and the House of Representatives on Nov.§ \u2014 election day.\u201cYou know, I'm told all the time by professional media handlers and the like, \u2018You can\u2019t get elected in mordern politics by talking about the power of prayer,\u201d \u201d North said at a recent campaign stop in Virginia.\u201cWell, we shall see, my friend, we shall see.\u201d The religious right is distinguished by three characteristics: its adherents are Christian, they're conservative and, by and large, they're Republican.John Green, an expert on the Christian right at the University of Akron mn Ohio, says the movement is made up mostly of evangelical Protestants: Pentecostals, Baptists, holiness churches, and so on.He figures the congregation, in total, represents about 25 per cent of the U.S.electorate.Green says that, historically, Christian conservatives have not voted at a high rate, but in the last 20 years they've become energized politically and they've become increasingly Republican.CHRISTIAN COALITION \u201cIf, in the fall elections, the Christian coalition and other groups are successful and get all their natural constituency to the polls, they could account for somewhere between 10 and 15 per cent of votes cast,\u201d Green says.\u201cThat doesn\u2019t sound like many, but it\u2019s more numerous than all of African-American voters put together and it\u2019s perhaps 10 or 12 times bigger than the Jewish vote.\u201d The Christian Coalition, founded by television preacher Pat Robertson following his failed presidential bid, is considered the most powerful organization today in the Republican party.With more than one million supporters, the Virginia-based coalition has become a political action committee of the right: raising money, registering voters, running phone banks and grading legislators on such sensitive issues as abortion and gay rights.But the Christian Coalition and other religious conservatives may be catching a wave more than stirring one up.Recent polls suggest the moral climate of America \u2014 collapsing families, rising crime, failing schools, spiritual decay \u2014 is far more threatening to voters than the economy.ASSEMBLY OF GOD At the Assembly of God in Manassas, Va., a fundamentalist church with a congregation of about 1,100, worshipper David Mabie _ says he\u2019s a member of the Christian right not because of people like North and Roberston, but because of people like Meredith Miller.Miller, a 21-year-old graduate student at George Washington Uni- ' versity in Washington, was stabbed to death last week by two car- : Jackers who wanted her four-wheel- drive vehicle.\u201cA few years ago, car thieves would have snuck around in the middle of the mght looking for a car no one was in,\u201d fumes Mabie.\u201cNow, there\u2019s so little value for human life, they not only take the car, they discard this woman's life like it was a drink cup you toss out the .window.\u201cThis is what people sense: that there was a time v-hen respect for a supreme being and the orderliness of the gospel would prohibit things : like this from happening.\u201d ; - PNSIRS + ge BE AA CUE ls Lbs A Tram mene Behind the news The RECORD\u2014Friday, October 28,

Inlate 1990, flying over what's \u2018known as the Barren Lands of the Northwest Territories, the exploration geologist spotted the first evidence of diamonds.His discovery of a kimberlite pipe \u2014 a cone-shaped mineral formation that can contain diamonds \u2014 started a staking stampede by more than 150 companies in the Lac de Gras area, 300 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife.Since then, businesses, politicians and some aboriginals with jland claims have jumped on iboard i in hopes of cashing in on ithe motherlode.Those dreams could prove to be rich, say analysts like Bruce Reid of Yorkton Securities, who suggests the Canadian field could rival some African finds.nn SE ! \u201cI would compare it to Botswana, when I talk about how spectacular (test results) are,\u201d says Reid.Botswana, Russia and South Africa are world leaders in diamond production.\u201cIf it\u2019s handled properly, it could have the same effect on the economy of the Arctic that oil did to

announcement), the valuation of these stocks was absolutely sick, they were so outrageous,\u201d says Reid.\u201cKennecott pulling out, the failure of that particular concession, certainly brought a little reality into the market.\u201d For a mine to be commercially feasible, it\u2019s not enough to simply find some diamonds \u2014 they must be gem quality.That's determined by shape, quality, color and size.But many more pipes have been found and more than 21 million hectares of land have been staked in the Slave geological region.Yellowknife is buzzing with talk about the possible

\u201cpretty lucrative,\u201d considering a strong gold mine such as the nearby Lupin plant earns about $150 million US annually, says Tom Hoefer of the Northwest Territories Chamber of Mines.Mining for gold, silver, lead and zinc is the economic base of the Territories.But royalties go directly to Ottawa, bypassing the territorial government which represents only about 55,000 people in a land mass that takes up one- third of Canada.Premier Nellie Cournoyea wants to drastically change the Territories\u2019 fiscal relationship with Ottawa.The diamond play has given a new impetus to negotiations that have dragged on for years.\u201cIf we don\u2019t make our own revenue or create our own self- sufficiency, we just have less and less and less to operate on.\u201d Aboriginal leaders

CHUS, St-Vincent-de-Paul and Hétel-Dieu Hospitals | will be regrouped under one entity mandated exclusively to provide acute care on condition that the status of university hospital be maintained.This new entity will operate in two locations, one in Fleurimont, and the other in downtown Sherbrooke.One of the two sites presently located downtown will be closed within the next few years.Services which are currently offered there, will be relocated in one or the other of the two sites.\u201cOur choice is simple: either we cut in services everywhere, or else we cut in concrete by complete closing one site.We have opted for the latter because it allows us to maintain better access to services and jobs.\u201d André L'Espérance Chairman of the Steering Committee on the Reorganization of hospital services in Sherbrooke Estrie Regional Health and Social Service Board and the hospitals of greater- Sherbrooke have agreed to propose to their respective boards of directors, the reorganization of all the services of these five hospital centres.Their goal: to maintain access to services in a context of major reduction of public expenditures.On the other hand, Sherbrooke Hospital and d'Youville Hospital will be regrouped under one entity dedicated mainly to extended care services, active geriatrics and rehabilitation.This entity, operating in two locations, will also offer emergency, walk-in clinic, and out-patient + services to the English-speaking community and the North Ward population at the Sherbrooke Hospital site, where support and coordination of health care services will also be assured for the English-speaking community.\u201cThe community will keep finding in Fleurimont a leading university hospital, offering ultra- specialized services.It's one of the treasures of our region that is being preserved.\u201d André Simard Physician President of the CHUS Council of physicians, dentists and pharmacists \u201cWe have a double .challenge: Reducing x expenses which are not related to direct services to the population and protecting the jobs of 4 those providing services.\u201d Gilles Castonguay President Board of Directors of Hôtel-Dieu Hospital \u201cThe English-speaking population of Estrie will continue to have a community hospital offering basic services, and the other hospitals will improve their English-language services.\u201d Marjorie Goodfellow Fnglish-Speaking community \u201cPersons who need extended care will continue to find in d'Youville Hospital a highly qualified institution which answers their needs.\u201d Gertrude Roy President Residents and Patients Committee Youville Hospital \u201cWe can't just keep gnawing here and there; it's the system as a whole that's suffering.What is needed is an in-depth reorganization of services along more logical lines.\u201d Pierre Geoffroy President Board of Directors of St-Vincent-de-Paul Hospital \u201cDespite the difficult choices that have to be made, it is important that the organization of our hospital services be decided in the region.\u201d Claude Boucher Estrie regional delegate and MNA for Johnson 12\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, October 28, 1994 \u2018Crosswords

Mickey Mantle, 1956; Frank Robinson, 1966; Denny McLain, 1968; Reggie Jackson, 1973; Jose Canseco, 1988; and Frank Thomas, 1993.Thomas, the Chicago White Sox slugger, repeated as AL MVP on Wednesday.High school champions face off With both Champlain and Bishop\u2019s playing football games on the road, local gridiron aficionados will have to settle for Saturday's ETIAC high school championship.Alexander Galt (4-1-1) will host Bishop\u2019s College School (2-3-1) for this year\u2019s bragging rights.Galt should be the favorite for Saturday\u2019s final, but the Crusaders have been a thorn in the Pipers side this season.BCS has provided both blemishes on Galt\u2019s record this year.The Crusaders picked up an emotional 19-0 victory against Galt last Wednesday to advance to the finals and tied the Pipers 6-6 earlier in the season.BCS, last season\u2019s champion, was in danger of missing the finals after going 1-2 against Stanstead College before Wednesday\u2019s win.Galt won the first meeting between the two teams, 24-6 on Oct.1.Based on those results, Saturday\u2019s game could be a lot closer than expected.The Crusaders have actually outscored Galt 31-30 in the three-game series.SOCCER PLAYOFFS While Galt and BCS battle for football supremacy, six soccer championships will also be settled Saturday.BCS will host the girls playoffs begining with the bantam and junior semi-finals at 10 a.m.The bantam and junior boys kick off action with 10 a.m.semi-finals at Galt.It\u2019s a toss up between Massey- Vanier and Galt to see which school wins the most soccer titles.Massey-Vanier finished first in the senior boys, senior girls and bantam boys regular season standings.The Vikings junior boys finished second.Galt teams won the regular season titles for bantam boys and junior girls.The Pipers finished second in the senior boys, senior girls, junior girls, bantam boys and bantam girls standings.From The Bench By Robert Matheson The Record Richmond\u2019s junior girls team was the only non-Galt or Massey-Vanier team to place Record\u2019s high school sports review Alexander Galt Martin Bombardier led Galt\u2019s senior boys team to a pair of victories this week.Bombar- dfer scored two goals as the pers beat Richmond 4-1 on Monday and had both goals in Wednesday\u2019s 2-1 victory over C.S.LGalt\u2019s senior girls team lost a tight battle for first place Wed- ngsday when Massey-Vanier left with a 2-1 win.Nancy Ouimet scored Galt\u2019s lone goal in that game.* as RE LA y 4 aTataTa i # t The junior boys soccer team won twice to finish first overall in the ETIAC standings.They beat BCS 3-1 Wednesday and Richmond 3-1 on Monday.Patrick Lemelin, Reese Vigneault and Tim Smith scored against Richmond.The junior girls split a pair of games this week.On Wednesday, they lost 1-0 to Massey- Vanier after beating Richmond 3-0 Monday.Martha Monty scored two Galt goals in Monday's game.Ff (dk hy YOU NEED \u2018EM ¥ WE GOT EM Tackle the Winter Power of 95 with a powerful TROY-BILT Snowthrower .® Guaranteed Delivery Before The First Snowflake Falls! * ® Powerful 10 HP winterized engine!

team overcame an 0-3 start by treating its last four games like playoffs.Now the real thing has arrived and the Gaiters hope the success continues.\u201cWe don\u2019t think of ourselves as a fourth-place football team,\u201d pp 4, head coach Ian Breck said Thursday.\u201cWe tied for second as far as we are concerned and we are eager to play the University of Ottawa.Sunday\u2019s matchup

confidence since the Gee Gees handed the Gaiters a 24-19 loss.Four clubs in trouble may still By Reg Curren EDMONTON (CP) \u2014 CFL commissioner Larry Smith may have to preside over the uprooting of three existing franchises in the off-season, but despite the uncertainties he believes expansion is still possible in 1995.It has been a tough week for Smith .apd his expansion plans in the United States, with Las Vegas and Sacramento both looking for new homes next year.He said, however, there are enough potential U.S.markets to relocate two teams and possibly add two others.\u201cIt'll depend on the comfort we have in the next 60 days,\u201d Smith said Thursday.\u201cWe don\u2019t feel a real urge to add more, but we feel we have some pretty outstanding candidates and if they decide they want to go forward and they're properly organized we'll take a look.\u201d Meanwhile, north of the border, the league has said the Hamilton Tiger-Cats will be moved \u2014 possibly to Montreal \u2014 if there aren\u2019t 12,500 season ticket holders and $1 million in corporate sponsorships in place by Dec.23.\u201cIf we have to move Vegas and Sacramento, so be it,\u201d said Smith, after attending an Edmonton Eskimos fan appreciation luncheon.\u201cIt may slow (expansion) down because we would consolidate.\u201d Smith identified Birmingham, Ala., San Antonio, Tex., Orlando, Fla., Oakland, Calif.and Columbus, Ohio, as possible expansion or relocation sites in 1995.He said the CFL will no longer look at \u201cdevelopmental\u201d markets like Las Vegas, but will now concentrate on areas with a strong football tradition.\u201cIf there are some outstanding new owners, who are extremely strong then I think we'll go forward,\u201d said Smith.\u201cThe interest out there is extremely strong.\u201d The CFL was forced to pull the plug on the Las Vegas Posse last week and move the team\u2019s final home game against the Edmonton Eskimos to the Alberta capital.The Posse won't be returning to Las Vegas next season.Earlier this week Fred Ander- expand son, owner of the Sacramento Gold Miners, said he\u2019s leaving the northern California city and archaic Hornet Field.He had hoped to build a new stadium but has been unable to draw any public assistance for the project.There was also bad news for the Shreveport Pirates Wednesday, who had a plea for city finanhétal\u201d involvement™in the team rejected.There was no suggestion, however, that Shreveport would move for next season.Anderson has said he wants to move to Oakland, but Alameda County supervisor Ron Perata was less than enthusiastic about the CFL.Perata said Canadian football was a minor-league version of the NFL and just a little ahead of \u201ctractor pulls and arena football.\u201d Smith, however, was not deterred by those comments and said he believes once Oakland is educated about the league it could be as successful as expansion to Baltimore was this season, \u201cPeople who don\u2019t understand things sometimes make statements that are judgmental and not founded on facts,\u201d he said.\u201cI could say the same thing when I turn on the TV and it\u2019s Philadelphia 7-6 over Houston going into the fourth quarter.\u201d The ever-optimistic commissioner said he remains as committed as ever to expansion.If the CFL hadn\u2019t made a move into the U.S.the league would have ceased operating by now, he said.MONTE Gear aps S PORTICIPALTIDN Pa ay | Quebec Intercollegiate Football Conference's top offensive and defensive units.OFFENSIVE FORCE Seven Ottawa players were named to the OQIFC offensive all-star team, including quarterback Steve Clarke, running back Carlo Disipio and receivers Angelo Miceli and Chris Evraire.The Gee Gees led the conference is total net yards (387.9) and yards passing (291) per game to finish 6-1 in league play.Earlier this season, Ottawa used its passing attack and special teams to beat Bishop's 24-19.\u201cWe're a much better team now then the last time we played them,\u201d Breck said.\u201cWe've become much more confident in our abilities.We've identified the leaders on the i team,\u201d he added.\u201cWe understand our strengths and limitations.We've built on our success.\u201d BETTER COVERAGE Defensively Bishop's knows what it has to do, said defensive co-ordinator Tom Allen.The Gaiters need to do a much better job defending against the pass, he said.The Gee Gees passed effectively against Bishop's secondary in their regular season encounter.\u201cWe're definitely going to have to change that, if we're going to win,\u201d said defensive back Joel Kruzich, who was one of five Gaiters to earn OQIFC defensive all- star honors.If having a strong defence is one way to counter an opponent\u2019s offence, then the Gaiters are in The RECORD\u2014Friday, October 28, 1994\u201415 Becord good shape.Bishop's boasts the conference\u2019s stingiest defence by far, allowing only 270 yards per game.Ottawa, the conference\u2019s second- best defence, allowed an average of 331 yards per game.MORE CONFIDENCE The Gaiters struggled offensively in their first three outings while the defence held the team in the game.But the team has been much more successful and confident the last four weeks, including comeback victories at McGill and last week against Concordia.\u201cIn the past we might have looked to one or two individuals to be our big-play makers in adverse situations,\u201d Breck said.\u201cWe realize at this point that to be successful we have to perfrom as a team.\u201d Bishop's plans to run the ball early in an attempt to soften Ottawa up for the passing game, said quarterback Trevor Lovig, last week\u2019s CIAU football player of the week.BALL CONTROL \u201cIf we're going to beat them we need a balanced attack and to keep our defence off the field,\u201d he said.Breck agreed.\u201cThey (Gee Gees) have a very explosive offence.They are a legitimate Saturday night football in Montreal Smith insists CFL Champlain needs discipline to win By Robert Matheson LENNOXVILLE \u2014 Lights, turf, action.It will all be there when Champlain plays the top Quebec college football team Saturday night at Molson Stadium.\u201cWe just want to play the game and get out of it alive and then prepare for the playoffs,\u201d Champlain head coach Tony Addona said about playing Vieux- Montreal on the McGill field.The outcome of Saturday's game won't have much effect on the Cougars\u2019 playoff prospects.Win or lose, Champlain will probably play at Beauce-Appalaches in the semi-finals Nov.17.\u201cIt\u2019s not a critical game, we've already sealed a playoff spot,\u201d Addona said.\u201cWe would like to come out of the game with no injuries, more then anything else.\u201d That aside, Addona doesn\u2019t want his team to lay down against the undefeated Spartiates.\u201cIdon\u2019t want to get blown out if we can help it,\u201d he said.\u201cIf it\u2019s a tight game we will have gotten our message across.\u201d Champlain players would probably like to get some revenge for a 37-0 loss Vieux-Montreal handed them in the season opener.But Addona said he just wants a close game to help the team\u2019s confidence level heading into the playoffs.Champlain recovered from the early season loss to Vieux- Montreal by ringing off five straight wins before losing 23-19 to Beauce-Appalaches last week.\u201cMaybe the loss was a blessing in disguise,\u201d Addona said.\u201cIt made us realize that to win in crucial situations we're going to have to play much better.\u201d Champlain\u2019s lack of disciplne led costly penalties in the Champlain will just be trying to send a message and ay game and the Cougars turned the ball over nine times.The team has responded with a strong week of practices, Addona said.\u201cI guess we learned our lesson.\u201d Saturday\u2019s game means a lot more to the Spartiates than Champlain, Addona said.Vieux- Montreal will be pressing to remain undefeated, so the Cou- oid injuries Saturda threat to make a big play everyti- me they snap the ball.\u201d \u201cWe can really help ourselves, if our offence can maintain ball possession.\u201d The Gaiters have also made some adjustments on special teams, Breck said.Ottawa\u2019s Evraire returned two punts for touchdowns in the teams\u2019 earlier meeting.\u201cWe're not going to play Russian Roulette with our punts,\u201d he : said.\u201cIf we can we will punt the - ball out of bounds.\u201d Can a great defensive team beat a great offensive team?Sunday\u2019s game will provide the answer.With the winner advancing to the Dunsmore Cup to face the winner of Saturday's game between McGill and Concordia.FAN BUS Bishop's fans can cheer on .their team without driving to Ottawa and
