Sudanese rebels holding aid workers hostage was the thin skin of his Twin Otter and a bit of gradually narrowing airspace.After three days of chasing the rebels over sun-backed southern Sudan, Winsor and co-pilot Wendell Bell were left with the deadly strategy of circling within 15 metres of the guerrillas and dropping messagés out the window, Winsor said Sunday.Winsor, of Stony Plain, Alta., was piloting one of a number of aircraft that had been tracking the rebels since they took 11 foreign aid workers from their remote camp on Wednesday.The hostages included two French, two Kenyans, an Australian, two Ethiopians and a Swiss.They worked for Doctors of the World, UNICEF and Swiss Disaster Relief.Winsor\u2019s Twin Otter was the only plane that could land in the remote area.They first found the soldiers Thursday and used a radio to negotiate a ransom of food and water to get four women released.The guerrillas loyal to Gordon Koang Babyping, a renegade commander of rebel Sudan

ready-made forum in the government\u2019s public hearings on sovereignty.The hearings, conducted by 15 regional commissions, were set up to study and discuss Quebec\u2019s pre-referendum legislation.The government has urged Quebecers to discuss what kind of sovereign country they want.They're doing that \u2014 in a roundabout way.Suzanne Giroux, a teacher, arrived at the hearings in Rouyn-Noranda on Sunday to complain about cuts to the education budget.\u201cWill the government invest more in education?\u201d she asked.\u201cIts all very well to have an independent Quebec \u2014 I agree with that \u2014 but will we invest in quality education?\u201d Philippe Marquis, a student, complained that Quebec\u2019 s junior colleges have a $15-million surplus and college administrators are receiving generous severance packages at a time when tuition fees are increasing and students are being forced to drop out.Madeleine Levesque, who described herself as a feminist, urged the government to do more to promote the equality of women.Another woman called on the government to do more for women who stay home to raise families.Participants were reminded several times that the hearings are supposed to be discussing a sovereign Quebec.Many simply reworded their question to ask whether the government will invest in education or increase family allowances in a sovereign Quebec.Jacques Proulx, head of a group that promotes the interests of rural Quebecers, said if politicians answered every question about social and financial problems now, Quebecers simply wouldn't believe them.\u201cPeople should understand that with the referendum bill on been using small planes to get aid into war-racked Sudan and Ethiopia since the mid-80s.The planes circled the

year, should be postponed until MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Quebec\u2019s deputy premier said Sunday there is no proof that an independent Quebec would have to renegotiate membership in the North American Free Trade Agreement.Trade rules that applied while Quebec was part of Canada would probably continue to apply during a transition period until Quebec signed NAFTA as an independent country, Bernard Landry said.Landry was taking aim at comments made on Friday by Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, who questioned whether an independent Quebec could remain a partner in trade deals such as NAFTA and the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).Chrétien said a sovereign Quebec would have to leave NAFTA and compete for mem- bership with other countries \u2014\u2014 PQ blasts Chrétien over

Canada.Quebecers \u201cmust exercise, through a referendum, their right to sovereignty, at the same time proposing the creation of a new Quebec-Canada economic and political union,\u201d Allaire said.Allaire, a former member of the Liberal party executive, left the Action democratique last year because of health reasons.a such as Chile.Landry said Chrétien has an easier time accepting the notion of Valparaiso, Chile, in NAFTA than the prime minister\u2019s home town of Shawinigan and the rest of Quebec.\u201cHe should tell us why NAFTA would prefer Chile over Quebec,\u201d Landry said.\u201cWith talk like that, Mr.Chrétien is working against Canada of which one part, Quebec, is the United States\u2019 eighth largest trading partner.\u201d Landry also took exception to Chrétien's statement that Quebec\u2019s cultural industries would lose protection in international deals.The first rule in international organizations such as GATT is non-discrimination, Landry said.\u201cMr.Chrétien should read the NAFTA preambule.\u201d Winsor later found out the rebels \u201ctold some of the hostages .if we flew around much longer they were going to shoot at us.\u201d The

Cliff, but people won't have to leave town to express their opinions on the subject.Ayer\u2019s Cliff resident Claude Ostiguy is organizing a public forum on Quebec\u2019s future for those communities the government-sponsored hearings are bypassing.\u201cThese commissions are not a very democratic way of finding out how the population feels,\u201d said the former Montreal businessman, who retired to Ayer's Cliff 20 years ago.\u201cThey chose to hold the local hearing in Hatley, a dormitory village of 200 people, and aren\u2019t taking the rest of the surrounding villages like Stanstead, Rock Island, Beebe and North Hatley into consideration,\u201d Osti- guy said.The confirmed Canadian nationalist accused federalist forces of \u201csitting around and waiting rather than facing the issues.\u201d In order to tilt the balance back in favor of Canada, Ostiguy has organized a public meeting to be held at Ayer\u2019s Cliff Elementary School the evening of February 16.\u201cI joined up in the Second World War and swore allegiance to defend my country and now I'm prepared to defend it in my own backyard,\u201d Ostiguy said.\u201cThere\u2019s no time to waste.It would be a shame if people say \u2018I should have done something.I should have said something\u2019 after it\u2019s too late.\u201d Final steps next month - Mary.Brus Dixville, St-Mathieu are to merge SHERBROOKE (DW) \u2014 The village of Dixville and the rural municipality of St-Mathieu de Dixville may soon be reunited after a 67-year-old separation.Town councils of both munici- \u2018palities passed motions this month to adopt merger bylaws in accordance with an agreement the two municipalities worked out last fall.The agreement was based on a Quebec government study prepared for the municipalities last year.Surveyors have been since been contracted to redraw boundaries, which should be ready within a couple of weeks, according to St-Mathieu councillor Jim Bellows.\u201cWe hope plans for the new municipality are ready for the March (council) meetings so we can adopt the bylaw,\u201d said Mary Brus, St-Mathieu town secretary.The united municipality is to be called the municipality of Dixville.Unlike proposed mergers in several other Eastern Townships communities, the fusion of Dixville and St-Mathieu has proceeded relatively quietly over the last year or so, and without significant opposition.Councillors for St.Mathieu, which has a population of 350, voted unanimously to support the plan.A single councillor in Dixville village opposed the plan, but a referendum on

two oil reservoirs went up in flames.According to Quebec Police Force (QPF) spokesman Cst.Pierre Robichaud, the fire broke out at the Graybec lime quarry around 5:40 a.m.The two reservoirs contained 100,000 litres of Bunker C grade oil, used to operate boilers in the refinement of the lime, Firefighters from Marbleton and East Angus were called to the scene to fight the blaze.When water proved ineffective against the flames, a special fire-retardant foam was employed.By 11:30 a.m.firefighters had managed to bring the fire under control, but not unitl all of the oil had burned.Robichaud said the fire caused between $600,000 and $1 million in damages.Both oil reservoirs were completely destroyed and several nearby buildings suffered fire and smoke damage.Robichaud and Quebec environmental officials said the smoke was not toxic and that the fire posed no threat to area residents.The cause of the fire has not yet been determined.QPF investigators from Sherbrooke will be on the scene

veteran got a rocky reception during hearings of the Eastern Townships commission on Quebec\u2019s future.Before Ronald Charland, president of the Coaticook Royal Canadian Legion branch could speak Saturday, commissionner Pierre Patenaude objected to his appearance, a last minute addition to the day\u2019s agenda.When cut off by commission president Lynn Charpentier, the University of Sherbrooke Constitutional law professor and well- know local sovereigntist stormed out of the room, refusing to listen to the brief in favor of Canadian unity.Charpentier later explained that Charland had left a message for Coaticook mayor and commission co-president André Lan- gevin asking to appear before the commission.Because of long days on the roving commission, Langevin had not returned the call until the day before the Coa- ticook hearing.NO PRECEDENT Patenaude told reporters he didn\u2019t refuse to listen to Charland because of the content of his brief, but rather because as a jurist he did not want to create a dangerous precedent.\u201cWe are refusing to listen to others,\u201d Patenaude said.\u201cWe Anglos to get fair hearing \u2014 president Commission booked solid for next 12 days

the commission will still take into account written briefs submitted before Feb.24, according to a commission press release.This week, the commission begins hearings in predominantly anglophone municipalities with visits to Bury, Hatley and Lennoxville.After a rocky start in Windsor, commission president Lynn Charpentier said Sunday anglophones will get a fair chance to be heard.The one and only anglophone to testify so far was cut off due to problems with translation.Charpentier, who has insisted over and over again that everyone should have an opportunity to speak out, has guaranteed that anglophones will get a chance to testify without being interupted by a translator, or will be given additional time if their presentation is cut short by a translator.EQUAL CHANCES \u201cWe want to make sure everyone has the chance to speak without interupting the flow,\u201d Charpentier said, adding that the majority of commissioners understand English.\u201cIt\u2019s important that anglophones feel welcome.\u201d During the hearings being held throughout the province, Quebecers are being asked to give their opinions on the Parti Québécois\u2019 draft bill on sovereignty, which declares Quebec to be an independent state and suggests how independence will Group not fazed by loss of quotas Give more power to rural COATICOOK \u2014 Dairy quotas and the future of farming in the region were the subject of a briefs by a group of about 100 farmers as the Eastern Townships commission on Quebec's future made a stop in the provni- ce\u2019s dairy basin.According to spokesman Jean- Charles Blais, there's one government too many and the time has come to eliminate \u201cAs the head of a company, when things aren\u2019t going well you sit down and restructure,\u201d he said, adding that despite growing economic problems, the Canadian government has been unable to restructure itself.\u201cWe can\u2019t afford two governments anymore,\u201d he said, adding that efficient government has to be as close as possible to the people.He suggested handing more powers to the regions, in effect creating a new level of lower government after Ottawa's role is eliminated.Still filing from Sawyerville In response to a question from, « regional delegate Claude Boucher, Blais said the region does not have to fear the loss of federal dairy quotas if the province separates.- The dairy farmer said that while Quebec sells more milk to the rest of Canada, it buys more produce from other provinces than it sells.\u201cQuebec is just a client of the other Canadian provinces,\u201d he said.can\u2019t make an exception for one individual, no matter what the circumstances.\u201d When finally given a chance to speak, Charland said that veterans objected to the hearings on Quebec\u2019s future and that millions of soldiers from two world wars and other conflicts were proud to wear the name Canada emblazoned on their shoulders.The decorated veteran said many vets and seniors in the region depend on federal gover- work.Today the roving commission makes a stop at the community hall in Bury.On Tuesday the commission will appear at the St.James Anglican Church hall in Hatley and on Wednesday it will take its tour to Centennial Theatre at Bishops\u2019 University.At all three locations, commissioners will hear briefs between 2 p.m.and 6 p.m.and public forums will take place between 7:30 p.m.and 10 p.m.The commission has also rescheduled the public forum which was cut short last week in Windsor when a member of the audience had a heart attack.It will be held

also expressed worry about the protection of anglophone institutions and minorities, was the lone voice for federalism i in a day which included presentations from four sovereigntists groups and individuals.Agronomist Narcisse Déry worried about the sharing of debt between Quebec and Canada.He said that if Quebec had to shoulder its share of the federal debt it would become a third world country and he suggested a sovereign Quebec refuse to pay.SCARE TACTICS Freelance reporter Lauréat Bélanger presented a brief which said Quebec must act now or French Canadians would be assimilated and disappear before year 2100.Commissioner André Bachand, mayor of Asbestos, disagreed with Bélanger\u2019s affirmation, saying he objected to campaigns of fear.Others who presented briefs did not take a position of the political future of the province, but from their position on the fence issued warnings and suggestions.A brief from the Coaticook MRC, one from the Table de Concertation, on from Barnston and another from the Coaticook Catholic School Board, all spoke in favor of decentralization of powers.\u201cThe power should be as close as possible to the people,\u201d said Barnston mayor Serge Rien- deau, repeating a commmon theme heard in the past week of hearings throughout Quebec.Another brief from an umbrella group of organizations which defends the rights of elderly and disabled residents, also expressed fear about the future of federal pensions and the decline in health care and social services.The Table de Concertation des personnes agées et/ou handicapées de la

of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Democracy has its price, too Whoever coined the axiom, \u201cAsk the right question and you'll get the right answer\u201d never participated in a roving commission \u2014 or for that matter, a meeting of the Women\u2019s Institute.Jacques Parizeau thought he had the right question when he asked ordinary Quebecers how they'd like their new country delivered later this year.For good measure, he weighted the commission with pro-sovereignists to ask the right questions and extract the right answers.He must be disappointed.While Quebec federalists were expected to give all the wrong answers, it\u2019s separatists themselves who are asking the tough questions.Maybe now Mr.Parizeau will have some sympathy for others who've attempted to reach consensus on how a country should work.If nothing else, he\u2019ll discover that democracy has it\u2019s price.Even the most ardent separatists appearing before the sovereignty hearings are respectfuly asking where the money will come from to provide all the jobs, to pay for the education and health services to which they've become accustomed, and to ensure no holes develop in the social safety net \u2014 from day-care to old-age pensions.Quebec\u2019s powerful unions while steadfastly pledging allegiance, want assurances that all federal public servants will keep their jobs in an independent Quebec.Construction unions have already started cashing in their support chips with demands for legislative changes restricting non-unionized workers from residential construction jobs.And some independentistes are taking the PQ\u2019s promise literally of giving Que- becers their own country.They're insisting all Quebecers have a hand in drafting any new constitution \u2014 a document { of 7 million whereases, no doubt.Probably the one thing Mr.Parizeau wanted least to hear from pro- sovereignist supporters is the call for a delay in calling the question.It\u2019s unlikely the current troops will be around for another round.And even with bifocals, they can read the telephone book well enough to know that Quebec's multilingual immigrant population, not known for its pro-sovereignty stance, is growing at a faster rate than Quebec\u2019s French- speaking population.There\u2019s something else Mr.Parizeau probably didn\u2019t anticipate when he opened the suggestion box.And that is that the silent majority of Quebecers (not just anglophones) who have consistently spurned separation, would suddenly and spontaneously rise up to sing the praises of Canada.I'm talking about the young francophones in Generation 18-35, and those other young francophone Quebecers who proudly belted out O Canada in French at a recent political gathering.They too are laying claim to a country.One that has already proven itself to be the best in the world.Without question.SHARON McCULLY RE A growing class of the repressed You can\u2019t lock up everyone considered dangerous and not expect tax increases, says Gordon Price, a Vancouver city councillor, writing in the weekly Business in Vancouver: It costs anywhere from $11,000 to $50,000 a year to house a prisoner \u2014 roughly what it costs to send a student to university.Ironically, it will be from shrunken education budgets that money for increased incarceration will be found.And it still won\u2019t be enough.The number of dangerous \u2018others\u2019 to be jailed on suspicion (they might re-offend) is potentially huge .But all the money we will be spending on dangerous others will not likely make us more secure.As dangerous others are ghettoized, they will eventually bond together as a growing class of the repressed, with nothing to lose.Collectively, they may be more of a threat than as isolated individuals.Consequently, the sense of betrayal will become even greater if, after taxes are raised or services cut, acts of horrific violence still occur, terrorizing people who felt they were paying too much to begin with.Those who say \u201cenough\u201d to taxes cannot then ask government to eliminate risk.From What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press NY Ah) ewan cA © 95.QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 The Parti Québécois promised \u201cThe other way of governing\u201d during their successful election campaign last year.That other way appears to include an amazing knack for the self- inflicted wound.Week in and week out, the Quebec government's separatist agenda has been knocked off the rails not by federalists, but by embarrassing resignations and outbursts from Premier Jacques Parizeau\u2019s office and cabinet.The latest sovereigntist to shoot himself in the foot was Finance Minister Jean Campeau.He let it slip last week that a sovereign Quebec wouldn\u2019t be obliged to pay its share of the federal debt.Angry federalists and skittish financiers almost gang-tackled Campeau and Parizeau was called in once again to control the damage.FIRINGS The Campeau affair followed the firing of culture minister Rita Dionne-Marsolais for incompetence which followed the firing of Pani- zeau adviser Pierre Bourgault for comments about the anglophone vote in the referendum.CP News Analysis By Don Macdonald Between the firings have been various other miscues and setbacks.The PQ\u2019s credibility as a good government \u2014 crucial currency heading into the referendum \u2014 appears to be dripping away in what might seem like a Chinese water torture to Parizeau.One of the main reasons the PQ wanted to hold the referendum in 1995 was to benefit from the post- election honeymoon every government enjoys in its first year and the federal Liberals have managed to extend further.\u201cThese events of the last few weeks certainly have not helped (build support for sovereignty),\u201d said Richard Nadeau, a University of Montreal political scientist.\u201cIt\u2019s not the image that Mr.Parizeau wanted his government to have.\u201d The gaffes have come just as Parizeau seemed to be finally getting his referendum strategy on track.BAD TIMING His demotion of Dionne- Marsolais came the day after returning from a highly successful trip to Paris that saw the leading contenders for the French presidency promise quick recognition of an independent Quebec.And Campeau\u2019s statement came the same day as government's 18 sovereingty commissions began holding public hearings across Quebec and two days after a masterful performance by Parizeau at a PQ meeting, The government doesn\u2019t have the luxury of wasting time.Separation remains appears to be stalled in the polls well below the magic 50 per cent mark with just months to go before the referendum.The sovereignty commissions are part of an elaborate plan to build momentum but so far Parizeau\u2019s own cabinet ministers have been more damage than the government\u2019s federalist opponents.\u201cPoor Mr.Parizeau must pull his hair out when he see the determination with which his ministers are systematically ruining his efforts to improve the image of his government,\u201d Le Soleil columnist Michael David wrote this week.\u201cThe best attitude for (Liberal Leader Daniel Johnson) to take is to just be quiet.Mr.Parizeau\u2019s minister are perfectly capable of sinking the sovereigntist plan all by themselves.\u201d VIENNA, Austria (AP) \u2014 Almost four years into the bloodshed that first ripped apart the old Yugoslavia, a second, wider wave of war threatens.In coming weeks, mediators will either be able to build on brittle truces in Bosnia and Croatia or perhaps watch war engulf both simultaneously for the first time since fighting started between Serbs and Croats in spring 1991.War in both states would produce a military and political tangle even more complex than the conflicts that so far have defied solution.It would probably mean the withdrawal of tens of thousands of UN peacekeepers in a hazardous operation backed by U.S.and other NATO troops.It could also mean conflict spreading to other parts of the volatile Balkans.Outsiders \u2014 especially the United States \u2014 are flogging their ver- Ex-Yugoslavia: ) Weary of war \u2014 but ready for peace?AP News Analysis By Alison Smale sion of what should be done.Washington is indicating there can be no final settlement in Bosnia and Croatia without the support of the republics\u2019 Serb minorities.INSURANCE This has angered Bosnia\u2019s Muslim-led government.But Washington is also trying to shore up the government's troubled federation with Bosnia\u2019s Croats as insurance against the Serbs getting, or taking, too much.In Croatia, Washington is a key player in foreign efforts to prevent a new Serb-Croat war that could start if 12,000 UN peackeepers leave when their mandate ends on March 31, as President Franjo Tud- jman insists.Local leaders have also put out feelers for peace that France would like to explore at a proposed European conference attended by leaders of Croatia, Bosnia and Serbia.But almost four years of fighting have created their own logic.The nationalisms of Tudjman and Serbian President Slobodan Milosevic helped start the war.Many people who have lost homes, loved ones and livelihoods in the name of nationalism are weary of war but see little incentive to reach peace.NO FAITH Bosnia\u2019s Muslims put no faith in outside powers to regain the 70 per cent of Bosnian territory now held by Serbs.They have some trust in their army, now better equipped and trained than at the outset of Bosnia\u2019s war in 1992.Travllers to central Bosnia report preparations for more war when a four-month truce runs out May 1.In Croatia, the UN-patrolled ceasefire that ended six months of Serb-Croat war in January 1992 still holds.But Tudjman wants the peacekeepers out, blaming the UN for cementing the Serbs\u2019 hold over one-third of Croatia while doing nothing to disarm them or return Croat refugees to their homes.Although Tudjman says war won't begin if the UN troops leave, Croatia\u2019s Serbs have already cut all ties negotiated with Tudjman and will fight if attacked.They have a promise of support from Bosnia\u2019s Serbs.Already in Bihac, Bosnia\u2019s northwestern tip, Serbs from Bosnia and Croatia are making common cause in fighting against government troops.WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 À furore in Washington over the nomination of a public health official has some observers wondering if President Bill Clinton ever learns from his political mistakes.Almost from the moment Clinton introduced Dr.Henry Foster as his selection for surgeon general \u2014 a largely symbolic figure who campaigns for public health \u2014 it was clear the nominee\u2019s career as a gynecologist and obstetrician who had performed abortions complicated congressional confirmation.The resulting political melee and Clinton\u2019s failure to immediately defend the Tennessee doctor has added Foster to the list of appointees whose nomination fights have seriously weakened the president.\u201cIt\u2019s OK to make a mistake once, twice \u2014 but this is the same mistake over and over,\u201d said Ben Ginsberg, director of Johns Hopkins University\u2019s Centre for the Study of American Government.SHORT REIGN \u201cI think this is the chief reason why we have a president who is in all likelihood going to be a one-term president.\u201d The mistakes, said Ginsberg and other experts, were three-fold.First, Clinton essentially designated the job a minority position.He searched for a qualified black candidate and missed potential minefields in Foster's background.White House officials failed to get precise details on the number of abortions Foster performed.CP News Analysis By Laura Eggertson That oversight is hard to understand in a country where five people have been killed at abortion clinics in recent years and where the Christian Coalition and other fundamentalist religious lobbies are significant political forces.The U.S.Senate, which must approve all such political appointments, is controlled by Republicans, many of whom owe their seats to the coalition.\u201cI think this is a great example of the Clinton administration not anticipating what they should be anticipating and not handling things well,\u201d said Elizabeth Cook, a professor with American University\u2019s government department.NO CONTROL Secondly, once the White House realized it had a problem, officials failed to control the debate.Instead, they played a numbers game with radio talk-show hosts like Rush Limbaugh and journalists.First Foster had only performed a few abortions.Then less than a dozen.Then 39.Its what Ginsberg calls the \u201c- reinvention approach\u201d by the White House that continually gets Clinton in trouble, as it did during the presidential campaign when he was asked if he had ever smoked marijuana.\u201cIts the, Yes I did it, but I didn\u2019t inhale\u2019 response,\u201d said Ginsberg.Third, waffling on Foster created the most problems for Clinton.It took a couple of days for Clinton to mount a vigorous defence.Even then the pro-choice president\u2019s endorsement was not as ringing as key constituencies like the National Organization for Women and the black caucus on Capitol Hill would have liked.The president ought to have said \u201che is an ob-gyn specialist, he has performed legal abortions in the course of his practice \u2014 it\u2019s the law of the land and legitimate and it\u2019s an outrage for anyone to think this should disqualify him from legal office,\u201d said Thomas Mann of the Brookings Institute, a Washington Clinton weakened by nomination fight| think-tank.WAFFLED Instead, Clinton said Foster was a good man who should be nominated, and accused opponents of trying to \u201cdemonize\u201d him \u2014 defending Foster without confronting the abortion issue head-on.The doctor joins a list of people about whom Clinton has waffled at the first sign of trouble \u2014 from civil rights appointee Lani Guinier, whom he failed to support after her legal articles raised problems about affirmative action, to Foster\u2019s predecessor.Clinton sacked Jocelyn Elders, an Arkansas physician, after she stirred debate by answering questions about whether the United States should legalize drugs and.include masturbation as part of its sexual education classes to help fight AIDS.It seems ill-advised to then appoint another controversial nominee, when Clinton needs what little political capital he has to pass any legislation.Mann is less ready to sound the death-knell for either Foster or Clinton.But he thinks the way opposition to Foster was mobilized is a bellwether for American politicians trying to navigate difficult waters.-\u2026-.zak. us 2er asus au ane 7 Farm and Business Cattle exporter sees future in shipping Cows at sea: mobile stall could alter beef markets By Judy Monchuk KESWICK RIDGE, N.B.(CP) \u2014 Sixteen New Brunswick cattle that sail this weel for England aren't too enthusiastic about the impact their ocesn travels could have on the Maritimes\u2019 cattle industry.But Larry Jewett is.Jewett, a attle and embryo exporter, foresees a time when proximity to the sea lanes could make breeding stock raised on the East Coast more valuable than thosein Ontario or Quebec.\u201cMaritime producers will realize that instead of trucking their cattle to Toronto it\u2019s going to be the other way around,\u201d he predicts.\u201cThat will give us a $200 to $300 price advantage.\u201d The reason for his optimism?A unique container that can be hoisted onto a huge ship and sent across the Atlantic from the port city of Saint John, N.B.\u2014 about 130 kilometres east of here.It\u2019s cheaper than flying cattle to Europe and a lot easier on the animals, says Jewett, who has spent much of the last two years modifying standard shipping containers into mobile homes for cattle.Sixteen cattle can fit into each 12-by-2.5 metre cowtainer.Special water and ventilation sys- Quebec labor fund reaches $1 billion MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The Quebec Federation of Labor's Solidarity Fund continues to prosper, paving the way for more jobs and investments, leaders of the province\u2019s largest labor union said Saturday.\u201cOur obsession is jobs,\u201d said Fernand Daoust, head of the fund committee.\u201cEverybody knows unemployment is at a catastrophic level.\u201d The fund has created or safeguarded about 31,000 jobs since it was created in 1983, Daoust said at a news conference.\u201cIt's not for nothing that the Quebec premier described the fund as the racehorse of the Quebec economy,\u201d he said.In the fiscal year ended last Oct.31, the fund\u2019s net profit rose to $21.4 million, up from $20.5 million the previous year.The fund's total assets recently reached the level of $1 billion.Fund president Claude Blanchet said the fund grew by $143 million in 1993-94 and will rise by between $250 million and $300 million thanks to a current fundraising campaign.\u201cBefore the year 2000, the fund will have $2 billion\u201d in assets, Blanchet predicted.Blanchet did not appear concerned that the net profit rise fell far short of the 1991 level when it hit $44.2 million.Clement Godbout, president of the labor federation, issued a warning against the Montreal Expos\u2019 hiring of replacement players.The fund owns a big share of the National League baseball team.INVESTMENT STRATEGIES By ALAIN GILBERT Adm.A.PIFin.+ GOVERNMENT BONDS AND THEIR BY-PRODUCTS A fixed income investment such as a bond or guaranteed investment certificate (C.LG.is ment of debt by virtue of the issuer promising to reimburse the investor the interest payments at pre-determined dates and the capital upon maturity.Bonds which render a high return and offer security and flexibility meet many finan- cials goals.Knowing how important this type of investment is in a well balanced and diversified portfolio, we have devoted this column to government bonds.CANADIAN GOVERNMENT BONDS Canadian Government Bonds are considered the safest of fixed income investments.The federal government guarantees payment of the interest and refund of the capital upon maturity.Canadian bonds have maturities varying between one and thirty years.They are frequently dealt with on the markets, which means they can easily be sold before maturity contrary to popular GICs.PROVINCIAL, MUNICIPAL AND OTHER GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION BONDS Midland Walwyn Capital Inc.An

accurate or complete.The views expressed are those of the author and not necessarily those of The federal government is not alone in issuing this type of bond.Provinces, municipalities and other government organizations such as Hydro-Quebec and Hydro-Ontario all issue bonds on the market.Unless I've missed something, the lower credit rating of an issuer, the higher the rate they would have to offer to stir up interest in the bond.The main benefit of having a good credit rating is that your borrowing costs (the rate on your bonds) are lower.ZERO COUPON AND STRIPPED COUPON BONDS Zero Coupon and Stripped Coupon Bonds are created when a brokerage firm such as Midland Walwyn detaches the portion of the interest called \u201ccoupon\u201d from the capital of a quality bond.Each of these two elements may be used separately.Investors who buy them know exactly the profit they will gain because the rate of return up to maturity is already established.From these fixed investments which we have described are only a few among many investments which are available to you.Don\u2019t hestitate \u2014 talk to your Financial Advisor.Our next column: Mutual Funds Alain Gilbert is a financial

$3 a kilogram to ship a cow \u2014 compared with an air price of about $3.85.Either way it\u2019s expensive freight \u2014 well over $1,000 for each animal \u2014 but presumably that\u2019s easier to swallow when you consider each cow is breeding stock that can cost upwards of $7,000.The idea came when a European buyer who was looking to buy embryos from Jewett expressed interest in also purchasing cattle.After lining up the buyer with his cattle, Jewett found he had to ship the animals through Toronto \u2014 essentially handing over his customer and increasing his cost.Jewett looked at moving the cattle by ship and found freight was substantially cheaper from New Brunswick \u2014 if the trip could be made safely.Last spring, Jewett made three trial runs across the Atlantic.On the first run, he gambled with transporting a $15,000 cow.It paid off bigtime.\u201cThe cattle arrived in a lot better condition than they do by air Research in space The RECORD\u2014Monday, February 13,

second.Within the cattle community, word spread fast.\u201cThat kind of publicity we just can\u2019t buy,\u201d says Jewett.At the same time, 16 cattle in two separate air shipments died because of problems with inflight ventilation systems.Although such problems rarely occur, it made people look twice at Jewett\u2019s plan.Seven cowtainers will leave Saint John today.Two other shipments are planned in March and April.And Jewett is looking to expand his marketplace.By spring, he hopes to be shipping cattle to eastern Europe.\u201cThere\u2019s some differences in health regulation and we need special permits.\u201d The New Brunswick government is obviously impressed with Jewett\u2019s accomplishments \u2014 it recently named him exporter of the year.\u201cIt shows we can make our way in the marketplace \u2014 as a Maritime province we sometimes forget that,\u201d said agriculture spokesman Mike Healy.Scientists probe artificial milk gene OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Dairy cows may soon be joining the space age as part of genetic engineering research into milk-protein production.A microscopic speck of genetically engineered protein could blast into orbit as early as this summer to test its ability to help cows make milk.If all goes well, the man-made gene will eventually end up in the stomachs of cows, where it will help boost production of protein and reduce the need for costly supplements.Project head Mary Alice Hef- ford says crystallizing the protein in near weightlessness will let scientists know if it has the right molecular structure.\u201cWhen you crystallize in microgravity, the crystals are bigger and more consistent,\u201d says the energetic scientist at Agriculture Canada\u2019s experi- 4 mental farm in Ottawa.\u201cBigger and more consistent means your data are better.\u201d Cattle rely on bacteria in their rumen (main stomach) to predigest food.Dairy cows in commercial herds require lots of protein supplements in their diets because the bacteria in their stomachs don\u2019t produce enough naturally to meet commercial demands for milk-productivity.\u201cIf the rumen bacteria would produce a better protein, there would be no need for protein

group, consisting Deat parents don\u2019t get the message Dear Ann Landers: My mom and dad are in their 60s and have serious hearing problems.Dad has a $700 hearing aid but won't use it because he says it sounds like a wind tunnel.Mom flat-out refuses to even get her hearing tested.Having a conversation with my folks is exhausting.I have to repeat everything at least three times.They often misinterpret information, and I hesitate to get into family matters since they can't hear what is being said and get the facts wrong.What worries me the most is when they drive.They cannot hear train whistles or ambulance sirens.Another problem is their inability to hear the phone ring.When I call and there is no response at night, I become concerned and drive over to see if they are OK.My mother becomes annoyed with me because she says I mumble.Ann, I speak at hundreds of meetings a year and enunciate clearly.I am worn out trying to maintain a civil relationship with my parents, and I need some advice.Just sign me - \"WHAT?\" DEAR WHAT: Enlist the help of your parents\u2019 doctor.Tell him or her what you have told me.Hopefully, the doctor will intervene and urge both parents to use a hearing aid.It also sounds as if your folks should not be driving.If you honesty feel they are not safe behind the wheel of a car, call the police and report them.I have suggested this in the past and have been told this approach is extremely successful and possibly lifesaving.of Rod Maclver, Grace Johnson and Jim Stewart who carried in the haggis, was piped in by the Piper.The haggis was addressed by Mr.Stewart, toasts presented to the haggis and Robbie Burns, and the Scotch punch served to the gathering, accompanied by scotch bread and haggis.: Another big event was the celebration of the 65th wedding anniversary of Kelly and Gladys Taylor.The trimmings were put up by their son Jim and his wife Thérèse from Longueuil.The party was catered to by the Wales Home, and Thelma did the honors of serving the sandwiches, squares and coffee and the beautiful anniversary cake which was brought by Jim and Thérèse.Their two sons Andrew and Nicholas also attended.Kelly had one sister Marjorie and Gladys had six cousins who were present.Friends and relatives came from Scotstown, Lennoxville, Sherbrooke, Huntingville, Drum- mondville, Shawinigan, Montreal and the Wales Home.Rachel Woodburn was in charge of the guest book.It is remarkable today to be able to enjoy 65 years of mar- Ann Landers Above all, be patient.One day, your children may have the same problem with you.Dear Ann Landers: This is about \"Dottie,\" who told the hotel staff it was her parents\u2019 anniversary when it wasn't.The hotel sent flowers.My husband and I were shocked and not amused by Dottie's duplicity in faking special occasions at the expense of innkeepers.My husband has spent the last 20 years in hotel and restaurant management.He regards his customers as guests.The vast majority of them are a delight.The Dotties are the darker side.Someone paid for those flowers.Fraud means increased costs for everyone.The members of the hospitality industry work hard to assure all guests a comfortable time at a reasonable price.There are nice towels for your use during your stay.They are not a gift to you.The same is true of the blankets, pillows, bedspreads and the clock radio, The nice little baskets of soaps and lotions are for your comfort during your visit, not to be dumped into your luggage as souvenirs.(Hotels recycle the unused portions of soap and shampoo.) Don't trash the place.ried life.Lots more happy anniversaries, Gladys and Kelly.We have been saddened by the death of Miss Gladys Morey and Mrs.Enid Abercrombie.Enid had worked at the Wales Home on the nursing staff for many years.Mr.Reg.Brighten, who was a resident here, was transferred to a Drummondville» Hospital.- He passed away January 31.We are please to receive Mrs.Dorothy Begbie to Norton 2, Mrs.Diana Taber to Shaw 1, and Rachel Woodburn to apt.on Shaw 3.Happy Living to all.We are happy to know that Doug.Gleason who had surgery in Hotel-Dieu Hospital is now improving.Keep it up Doug.We are all thinking about you.We are also happy to know that Rev.Dean is feeling better and not having to go to the hospital as often.Alice Butler is feeling better after pneumonia, that is good.Roy Johnson is travelling around in his new buggy.Not too fast, Roy.Our speed limit here is very low! Hope to see you next month.Submitted by Myrtle Pope Housekeepers work hard.They generally have a quota of 10 to 14 rooms a day to clean in an eight-hour shift.How many people could clean that many bathrooms that quickly?Please control your children.The hotel restaurant is not a playground.All guests should have the opportunity to enjoy a pleasant meal.- GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.DEAR GRAND: I'm sure all innkeepers around the world will applaud your message.And now, may I add just a word: Please, folks, leave a few dollars for the maids.They deserve it.Dear Ann Landers; I am strictly on the pro side of keeping adoption records sealed.My adopted daughter has been the joy of my life for 46 years.\"Eva\" has no interest in her birth family.We were told when we adopted her that she was the product of a Southern belle and a sweetheart who was not acceptable to her high- class family.This summer, Eva was contacted by a woman who claimed to be her biood sister.She told Eva that their mother was a victim of spousal abuse and that her father was a bootlegging, ne'er-do-well bounder.How much better it would have been for Eva and her family if we could have remained blissfully ignorant instead of being intruded upon by one who felt Eva had a \"right to know.\" Blood relatives are relatives by accident.Adoptees are relatives by choice.- NO STATE, EXCEPT CONFUSION 1 ams =a

after graduating from High School, to live with her foster mother, Mrs.John Westbrooke of Heathton.8 A Merton had a talent for woodworking and on their first anniversary his wife gave him a set of carpentry books which he studied diligently.In 1942, they moved with their three children to Rock Island, Quebec where Merton soon found work at Three Villages Building Association where he worked for 28 years.His fine woodworking can be found in many buildings in the Three Villages and homes that he helped to build.As his family grew to seven children, the bond of love and kindness in his home became ever stronger.He was a great source of help to his wife in the care of the children.He took many jobs at night to provide the necessary extras for his family; still finding time to go on outings with them.Together Merton and his wife instilled in their family the value of an education and that they had to work hard to achieve one.He was a member of the Stans- tead Historical Society and the Eastern Townshippers\u2019 Association.The last five years before his retirement, he was employed at Stanstead College.He enjoyed good health the first ten years of retirement.He loved the outdoors and took great pleasure in taking his grandchildren to his camp that he had purchased as a young lad.He and his wife enjoyed travelling; visiting their children and grandchildren in British Columbia, Ontario, various points in Quebec and New York City.A highlight was the trip to San Juan, Puerto Rico to attend their granddaughter\u2019s wedding in 1987.The last six years, he had serious

Davis, with moral support by.2.granddaughter, Jennifer Clarke: «= \u201cMY G FATHER\u201d \u201cI have had many people in my life who have influenced me; but one person has influenced me above others.my Grandfather.He has taught me above all else that nothing is just passed down.One must work for what you get and deserve.He was kind and considerate and taught me to be the same; unconsciously all his habits have rubbed off on me.He taught me to work honestly.not selfishly.He showed me how to work with my hands.He has taught me many things.others I have learned by watching and listening to him.He loved nature and taught me to respect it, not to destroy it.but to aid in nature\u2019s progress.He worked for most of his life and succeeded well, never wealthy but never poor.When he could work, he was always doing, not talking.He faught through hard times and made it through.He supported his family even when he could not support himself.He worked steadily until retiremen and then continued to work for himself, I have looked over his life and seen how rich he was, not in money, but in spirit.He never gave up and his life proved it.I have learned almost everything I know from my Grandfather.I cut down my first tree under his watchful gaze.I shot my first rifle with his instructions.Throughout my life, he has been there for me like a stone wall to fall back on.In the words of a popular country singer, \u2018He was ten- feet-tall and bullet-proof.He was never angered, his patience seemed to stretch forever.He never raised his voice but was always heard.I respect him like almost no other, few could match him, in my opinion.All my life, I have been influenced for the better.He has inspired me in all my activities by encouragement and stories.He inspired greatness on my behalf.My Grandfather died December 14, 1994.\u201d The honorary pall-bearers were his granddaughters, Tara Thornicroft and Jennifer Clarke, and grandson Sean

This was the story of the starters\u2019 pistols that weren\u2019t working, and the story of a fairly unexplosive day for the Bishop\u2019s track team at the first annual McGill Invitational Track Meet.Aside from the slow pace due to setbacks in the schedule, there were great performances by a few athletes who are finally coming into their own.Angela Locke took second place in the woman\u2019s shot putt with a throw of 10.07 metres.\u201cAngela came out and made a strong performance for her second outing, which proves we have athletes in the making with the ability to compete in the conference,\u201d said head coach Kim Chapdelaine.Also finishing well was 300m runner James Stewart, who picked up his first bronze as an individual with a personal best time of 36.59 seconds.Chapdelaine said the Bishop's athletes are young and fairly unexperienced, although full of potential.She said they must gain the psychological strength necessary to be consistant in their finishes.\u201cEven with the adversities on his mind I am overly impressed with the performance of James \u2018Despite control problems: B-ball Cougars win against St.Lambert By David M.Martin LENNOXVILLE \u2014 The Champlain Cougars men\u2019s basketball team had some hard times early on against the Champlain-St.Lambert team but came out on top 82-60.The pace was set by St.Lambert, who allowed a mostly half court game.But with only five minutes to go the Cougars finally took control.\u201cThey played the type of game they wanted, and we did not play the type of game we should have played,\u201d said Champlain head coach Don Caldwell.Caldwell said afterward that he wanted a game where the team could try out some new plays in preparation for the playoffs, but it was too close a match for the team to experiment.\u201cOnly in the last five minutes were we really able to openit up,\u201d he said.With four minutes to go and feeling secure in their victory, the Cougars came alive trying some fancy plays, but obviously not new plays from the game book.Although ahead throughout, the Cougars were off ¢ centre yo most of the game ne and at the losing end on rebounds.\u201cWe didn\u2019t take advantage of the inside game or the rebounding part of the game,\u201d Caldwell said.\u201cWhen your 5-foot-7 point guard leads the team in rebounding, there\u2019s something wrong with the heart of some of the other players.\u201d The Cougars\u2019 three main forwards had a combined 14 offensive and defensive rebounds, and starting guard Graham Farmer pulled down

hockey team was defeated 2-4 in a game that came a blaze in the third period.The Cougars played a slow game for the first two periods which were mostly controlled by the John Abbott College Islanders.The Islanders made good on two power play goals and then added a third before the end of the second period of Friday's game.With the score 3-0 for John Abbott the Cougars finally rose to the challenge and Jason Plomb scored the team\u2019s first goal 5:49 into the third.Still pumping with adrenalin the Cougars scored again less than two minutes later but the goal was disallowed when the net was pushed off its mooring.Philippe Boisclair scored Champlain's second goal on a power play, pulling the team within one with 11:28 left in the game.The contest grew more physical, with only Champlain gaining \"from it as the Islanders picked up three consecutive penalties.Unfortunately the Cougars could won the race despite the oversight.Stevenson's time in the race is presently being contested because her coach feels if she had been clocked without the extra 16th lap she would have qualified for the national university championships.\u201cI expected a lot more from the team at this meet, definitely a better placing, but unfortunately the team did not show as was expected,\u201d said Chapdelaine.Chapdelaine went on to discuss the positive gains of a bad track meet explaining that it teaches the athletes to be prepared for anything, because anything not capitalize on the advantage.With less than two minutes remaining John Abbott smothered the puck in the Cougar end which resulted in a delay of game penalty.After the whistle a fight ensued between two Champlain players and two from John Abbott.When the dust had settled the four fighters were sent off the ice but the referee had dropped the delay-of-game penalty.\u201cIf two people are fighting there should be off-setting penalties, but the delay of game penalty was called before that,\u201d Cougar head coach Sylvain Laflamme said afterward.\u201cI thought we would have the extra man but the ref changed his mind.\u201d The Cougars pulled their goalie trying to tie the game but with 41 seconds left a John

three Blues\u2019 goals in the final.The physical therapy student scored 22 goals in Toronto's six games and was named the tournament MVP.\u201cIt has a lot to do with how our team plays

the only goal of the first half with a nifty shot three minutes into the game.The Blues had the majority of the chances in the half, but York goaltender Sarah Forbes kicked them all aside.The Yeowomen lost one of their key players in the middle of the second half when Trish Bell was hit by a shot above the left eye.Bell crumpled to the floor in agony and it took several minutes before she could be moved off the court.Bell was taken to hospital for stitches and spent the night in Lennoxville.\u201cI think the injury was little demoralizing to our team,\u201d said Marina van der Merwe, York's head coach.\u201cShe\u2019s (Bell) a very good goal scorer and we've worked a lot on getting the ball to her when she\u2019s open.\u201d Anderson put Toronto up 2-0, converting on a penalty corner

cut it to 2-1.Anderson quickly ruined York\u2019s short-lived comeback attempt with her third goal of the game.The Toronto sniper converted on another penalty corner a minute after Gahunia\u2019s goal gave York new life.\u201cWe were a little short-handed and in a game that is so demanding on players it is very difficult to keep the focus sometimes,\u201d van der Merwe said.Although her team lost and dropped to 1-2 against their - rivals in indoor games, van der Merwe was pleased with her team\u2019s performance during the two-day tournament.Ali, a former York player, was extremely happy to beat her old coach after Toronto lost all three games to the Yeowomen during the outdoor season.\u201cAny time you beat the second-best team in the country you have to be happy,\u201d Ali explained.Both coaches expressed their satisfaction with the organization of the first-ever field hockey tournament at Bishop's.\u201cThe people here were wonderful, to be honest the organization was much like what you get at the nationals,\u201d Ali said.Van der Merwe agreed: \u201cThe organization was very good it was a true joint effort.I've never seen so many people running around to make sure we were in good shape.\u201d John McArthur, Bishop's field hockey coach, was extremely grateful for the amount of time and effort his crew of volunteers put into the weekend's activities.With the help of sponsors like Subway, the Primate Bar, Pizza- ville and the campus pubs, organizers were able to mix in a lot of social activities along with the high calibre competition.\u201cThe emphasis on the social aspect was very good.I think it's important to have fun as well as good competition,\u201d Anderson said.\u201cIt gives players a chance to know each other off the court.\u201d All of the positive feedback makes McArthur confident that there will be a second tournament next year.SHERBROOKE \u2014 The Alexander Galt senior boys basketball team won the Le Triolet AAA Invitational

meeting in Emmanuel United Church Hall, Cowansville.President Verna Patterson welcomed everyone and especially our new member, Donna Luce, who was greeted with a round of applause as Verna presented her with one of the WI.pens.Verna, who had placed a large Valentine on the wall, telling us of her love for us and our Institute, hoped that we were as happy as she was, to have the opportunity to get together once again.With Charlotte Domingue at the piano, we sang \u201cHappy Birthday\u201d to the celebrants, Marjorie Carter, February 6 and Eunice Stowe, February 23.We were sorry, that due to ill health, Marjorie was not with us as well as Annie Lahue and Beatrice Alger.We wished them a soon return to good health.After the Collect and the Salute to the Flag, the Motto \u201cWe may live without friends, we may live without books, but civilized man cannot live without cooks\u201d and the Roll call, \u201cBring a Valentine that you plan to send to a shut-in\u201d were answered by the members.Many of the Valentines are to go to the Veterans at Ste.Anne de Bellevue through the kindness of Eunice Stowe.Verna thanked Noella Smith and Annie Lahue for acting as the Nomination Committee for the new slate of officers, June Royea and Norma Owens for auditing the books, Evelyn Lewis for a cloth, embroidered with the W_ 1.crest and Fordyce Branch Women\u2019s Institute for the head table, and the hostesses, Else Syberg, Christine Molenaar, Gladys Dustin and Evelyn Lewis.The minutes of the previous meeting were read by Secretary, Eunice Stowe and accepted.It was decided that some of the W.I.pens should be given as gifts and it would be nice if felt holders were made for them.Gertrude Barrand offered her home on March 15 at 1:15 p.m.to anyone who wished to work on them.The members voted that a Past-President Pin be purchased.This in turn would be retained by the branch as is the President Pin, to be given to a member, while in office.President Verna Patterson then turned the meeting over to Evelyn Lewis, County President, for the installation of the new officers.Following the singing of O Canada and Opening Ode, the service continued in form.The officers are: Past President, Verna Patterson; President, June Royea; 1st Vice, Irene Williams; 2nd Vice, Mary McClure; Secretary, Eunice Stowe; Treasurer, Gertrude Barrand; Correspondence Secretary, Norma Sher- rer; Convenors \u2014 Agriculture, Bernice Thomas; Canadian Industries, Christine Molenaar; Citizenship and Legislation, Kathleen Paquette; Education and Cultural, Activities, Charlotte Domingue; Home Economics and Health, Verna Patterson; International Affairs, Norma Owens; Safety, Esther Mason; Environment and Publicity, Evelyn Lewis; Social, Sunshine and Pennies for Friendship, Gladys

Treasurer's report.It was moved that all bills be paid.Carried.The picnic area was discussed due to the paying of the tax bill.The members felt that, although it is used often by the general public, we should use it more.A suggestion was made that we should have at least one meeting there during the summer months.A new sign should be made to replace the old one.The offer was made to donate another picnic table from Gertrude Barrand.Gisele McCallum spoke about the Memorial Fund and the need to Switch to another account in order to save the monthly charges, which should prove to be financial gain.There were no convenors reports due to the great amount of business to be covered.Emmanuel United Church has been gracious to allow the branch to keep a box, containing photography books, guest books, cloth, on one of the shelves.It has been decided that we would try to have only four convenor reports each month in order that more time could be given to individual reports and still have time for discussions on other subjects.Delegates appointed to attend County meeting, March 23 in Dunham were Verna Patterson and Norma Owens, and the Provincial meeting in May at Macdonald College were Margaret Bell and Gladys Dustin.Poems were read by the following: \u201cMistakes\u201d, Gladys Dustin; \u201cQualifications for a W.I.Secretary\u201d, Esther Mason; \u201cW.I.President\u201d, Evelyn Lewis; and \u201cBelonging to the W.L\u201d, June Royea.Besides tea money and Pennies for Friendship, the members gave their one dollar donation each to Bob the Beaver for 1995.The members were reminded to bring a dozen cookies to the March meeting in order that plates can be made up to deliver to our shut-in members and other friends.Don\u2019t be surprised to see the members sporting attractively tied scarves after the excellent teaching demonstration that Verna Patterson gave.Verna, noted for her scarves and how much they add to her outfits, now has us all enthusiastic to try and copy her.Hope that we can have the same success.As there was no other business, Founder's Day will be held on February 22 at noon with a pot luck luncheon, followed with cards etc.The meeting was closed, allowing the members to partake of the tasty refreshments, which were placed on an attractive Valentine theme tablecloth, belonging to Else Syberg, centered with a beautiful bouquet of red carnations, a gift from Christine Molenaar, which were to be delivered to some members following the meeting.The hostesses appreciated that so many of the members helped with the tidying up so that we could all soon be on our way home.Frozen shoulder may require surgery By Peter H.Gott, M.D.DEAR DR.GOTT: I suffer from a frozen shoulder.I've had a cortisone shot, prednisone pills.physical therapy.and still suffer from the immobility.What's left to try?DEAR READER: Surgery.If you have run the gamut of medicine and physical therapy (as you seem to have), surgical release and repair may be your remaining option.Frozen shoulder has many causes, ranging from tendon inflammation to injuries.The common component is severe pain on motion.Thus, for comfort, patients stop moving their shoulders, which gradually become more and more immobile, as scar tissue forms and tissues around the joint contract.Eventually, the shoulder cannot be moved, even passively.In most cases, physical therapy (using hot packs, massage, gentle range-of-motion exercises, and ultrasound) suffices to limber up the shoulder and prevent ongoing disability.However, in some instances where this therapy fails, reparative surgery may be necessary.Ask your doctor to refer you to an orthopedic specialist for another opinion.DEAR DR.GOTT: In 1980, I underwent mitral valve replacement and have been on a number of medications since.It seems that each time my medication is changed, it is because the one I was taking lost its effectiveness.l'm presently on Cordarone, and my internist is disturbed because of possible side effects.I've only experienced one episode of atrial fibrillation that lasted about 12 hours on this and wonder if the effectiveness is worth the possible risks.DEAR READER: This is a difficult question that, in my opinion, can be answered by obtaining a second opinion from a cardiologist.Mitral valve disease is often associated with bursts of irregular and/or rapid pulse.Because such arrhythmias can cause heart failure and other complications, most doctors choose to prescribe medicines, such as Cordarone, to prevent them.However, as you've discovered, these drugs may have side effects.Cordarone is no exception; it can lead to lung and liver toxicity, among other complications.Thus, the trick is to balance the risks of arrhythmia against the hazards of the medications.Cordarone is recommended only for \u201clife-threatening arrhythmias,\u201d hence, other drugs \u2014 such as calcium-channel blockers (which are safer) \u2014 may be more appropriate.The cardiologist can help you decide which medicine is best suited to your particular problem.To give you more information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report \u201cUnderstanding Heart Disease.\u201d Other readers who would like a copy should send $2 plus a long.self- addressed, stamped envelope to P.O.Box 2433.New York, NY 10163.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: In my work as a clinical psychologist, I've recently been made aware of a disability resulting from back surgery known as cauda equina.Do you have any information on this, or know where I can obtain information?Are there support groups available?DEAR READER: At the bottom of the spine, the nerves splay out in a pattern similar to a horse\u2019s tail (cauda equina).Damage to one or more of these nerves (from injury, surgery or ruptured discs) causes the cauda equina syndrome: leg pain, sexual dysfunction and loss of sphincter control.This situation can be serious unless the pressure on the nerves can be surgically released.You can obtain more information about this uncommon disorder from a medical library, a medical textbook, a neurosurgeon, or an orthopedic surgeon.I am not aware of any support groups for this affliction, but would welcome any information that readers might supply.DEAR DR.GOTT: I suffer from reflux and hiatal hernia, causing burning and pressure in my stomach.Further, there's pain in my back under my shoulder blades that circles my entire rib cage.Along with the pain, there\u2019s shortness of breath, my hands and feet tingle and sometimes go numb.I don\u2019t know if any of my problems are related, but I sure could use more relief than I'm currently getting.Pepcid has helped reduce the acid in my stomach, but the rib pain continues.DEAR READER: Reflux (with or without hiatal hernia) is a common gastrointestinal condition caused by backwash of irritating stomach acid into the delicate and sensitive lower esophagus, leading to gas, heartburn and indigestion.Sometimes the pain radiates to the back and can cause other symptoms, such as cough, shortness of breath and similar consequences.While Pepcid is appropriate therapy for reflux, it may not be strong enough in your case.Ask your doctor to prescribe Prilosec; this may do the trick.If, within a week or two, you're not better, you will have to undergo further testing, such as chest X-ray, stress test (to check your heart) and endoscopy (during which a gastroen- terologist examines your upper digestive tract).DEAR DR.GOTT: I suffer from headaches that occur as many as six times a day.It's a rare day when I don\u2019t have any.This has been going on for several years with the frequency increasing.They are not of the severity of a migraine but certainly have me concerned.I've seen several neurologists, had CT scans, an MRI, and have been tested for everything else anyone can think of.Cafergot has given some relief but doesn\u2019t prevent them from occurring.Is a headache clinic appropriate for me?DEAR READER: Yes, it is.And many large hospitals have such a resource: specifically, specialists who are trained in the diagnosis and management of various types of headache.However, you have several other options, one of which is an attempt to prevent your headaches.For example, if you are experiencing vascular headaches (pounding, severe) or migraine (often preceded by visual abnormalities), the use of beta-blocker medication \u2014 such as Inderal \u2014 may help.Ask your doctor about this.Although the medicine is by prescription only, he may agree to a trial of low-dose therapy as a preventative.In addition, some authorities recommend calcium-channel blockers, such as verapamil, for the same purpose.Also, sumatriptan (a medicine you inject yourself at the first sign of a headache) may be beneficial.Finally, stress counseling, hypnosis, acupuncture, and dietary modification (for example, avoiding cheese) have all been shown to possess some value in alleviating or preventing headaches.Headache clinics certainly help many patients with recurring or resistant headaches.But you may want to consider my suggestions as well.To give you more information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report \u201cHeadaches.\u201d Other readers who would like a copy should send $2 plus a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to P.O.Box 2433, New York, NY 10163.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: Recently I've been experiencing dizzy spells immediately followed by a numbing sensation in my mouth, as though I'd received a sudden shot of Novocaine.What's the cause?DEAR READER: The symptoms you describe suggest a circulatory disturbance.Often, when inadequate blood reaches the brain, numbness and tingling in a part of the body may result, due to inadequate oxygen supply to nerves.For example, a sudden drop in blood pressure can cause lightheadedness, so if you're taking medication for hypertension, your doctor may wish to reduce the dose.Also, little blood clots in the brain, termed \u201ctransient ischemic attacks,\u201d will cause similar symptoms, only to disappear in a matter of minutes or hours.You should bring your \u201cspells\u201d to your doctor's attention.In my opinion, you need a check-up and, probably, an electrocardiogram and blood tests.DEAR DR.GOTT: In treating arthritis, folk medicine prescribes two spoonfuls of apple cider vinegar and two of honey in a glass of water at each meal, sipped like coffee.Do you approve of this prescription?DEAR READER: No.I don't, because there are more effective remedies, such as aspirin, ibuprofen and a host of prescription drugs.Nonetheless, vinegar and honey will not harm you.DEAR DR.GOTT: I have a gas problem that has become a great embarrassment to me.I work in an office and for a long while now, no matter what I eat, I pass gas shortly thereafter.And it goes on all day.What can I do.eat or take to prevent this?DEAR READER: Intestinal gas is a common problem that is usually caused by improper eating habits (swallowing without chewing thoroughly, eating too fast), dietary factors (such as beans, legumes and the like), carbonated beverages and the inadvertent swallowing of air.Patients with an inability to digest lactose (milk-sugar) often complain of excess gas after consuming milk products, unless these products use pre-digested milk, such as Lactaid.Try altering your eating habits.Avoid foods that you have found worsen the gas.Take Gas-X, an over-the- counter anti-gas product.Finally, if these suggestions are ineffective, see a gastroenterologist, who will check your digestion by using certain blood tests, breath analyses and X-ray examinations.DR.GOTT PETER s GOTT, M.D.RRSPs Investment Fund RRSP
