reluctant voters on board for a referendum win.With sovereignty stalled in the polls, Premier Jacques Parizeau has turned his attention to crafting a \u201cwinning\u201d question that will push independence over the 50 per cent mark in this year\u2019s referendum.Separatists have tried to help Parizeau in his search by suggesting dozens of alternative questions that range from the clever to

Bouchard welcomed back PM strengthens cabinet for referendum run-up By Linda Drouin OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Lucien and Lucienne were the stars in the House of Commons Wednesday.Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard returned and Liberal MP Lucienne Robillard took her seat for the first time as the federal minister responsible for the referendum.The two will be on opposite sides of the lines during the next few months as a referendum on Quebec independence draws near.Bouchard was given a warm welcome from his political rivals before business turned again to the looming fight over the country\u2019s future.It was his first appearance in public since he was struck by a flesh-eating disease three months ago and lost his left leg.Prime Minister Jean Chrétien crossed the floor of the House to shake Bouchard\u2019s hand and MPs rose in a standing ovation to greet him\u2014- .\u201cI would like to say thank you to all Canadians who despite their difference of opinion have shown to the leader of the Opposition their sympathy and moral support,\u201d Chrétien said.¢ Immediately after the tributes, Chrétien turned attention to the introduction of three new Liberal MPs elected last week.Newly

dehumanizing.\u201d Ostrom, as a 23-year-old former waitress with three months of training and five months experience as a guard, said there\u2019s no way she and other female guards could have handled the job.\u201cIts unfortunate, but we don\u2019t have that kind of training offered Court upholds constitution: Ottawa has no say on PCBs MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The federal government has no business prosecuting polluters for PCB spills, the Quebec Court of Appeal has concluded.Last week\u2019s judgment calls into question Ottawa's entire regulatory process controlling toxic substances.Justice Department lawyers are studying the possibility of appealing to the Supreme Court of Canada, a spokesman said Wednesday.Federal prosecutors charged Hydro-Quebec after 35,000 litres of PCB-contaminated oil spilled from a transformer at the utility\u2019s power station in Shawinigan into the St.Maurice River in January 1990.The utility acknowledged responsibility for the spill at the time, saying workers had failed to notice a crack in the transformer until a week after the spill.But its lawyers challenged Ottawa\u2019s jurisdiction to prosecute.First the Quebec Court and then the Superior Court sided with Hydro, dismissing the charges on the grounds that the section of the environmental law invoked oversteps federal jurisdiction.The three-judge panel of the appeals court upheld the earlier rulings, saying the federal regulation that prohibits the release of more than one gram a day of polychlorinated biphenyls into the environment is unconstitutional.The Constitution does not place the control of toxics under federal or provincial jurisdiction but the PCB regulation fails to meet a number of tests that would have cleared the way for federal intervention, the court ruled.The regulation, it said, does not fall under Ottawa\u2019s power to ensure peace, order and good government, is not aimed primarily at protecting human health and does not fall under criminal

became an MP.Both cabinet jobs are new positions.Labor responsibilities had been part of Human Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy\u2019s department.There had been no minister responsible for the referendum.The appointment makes official that Robillard will be what some on Parliament Hill jokingly call Jean Chrétiens Jean Chrétien.Just as Chrétien was Pierre Trudeau's principal lieutenant prior to the 1980 Quebec referendum, Robillard becomes cabinet's highest-profile spokesperson in the campaign expected later this year.See CABINET Page 2 Closer relations?OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The federal government is ready to go after the separatist movement in Quebec with a strategy remarkably similar to the one Ottawa used 15 years ago.Prime Minister Jean Chrétien put the last piece in place on Wednesday by naming Lucienne Robillard as minister responsible for the Quebec referendum expected later this year.Chrétien introduced his referendum spokeswoman to reporters at Rideau Hall, the Governor General\u2019s residence, where he accepted the same responsibility from Pierre Trudeau on a March day in 1980.\u201cIts a very important role,\u201d said Chrétien, who once descri- bed

from border states killed Clinton entry tax By Chris Morris WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 President Bill Clinton has had second thoughts about putting a price tag on crossing the U.S.-Canada border.He has reversed \u2014 or at least modified \u2014 a proposal to charge $1.50 per pedestrian and $3 per vehicle to enter the United States by land from Canada and Mexico.On the eve of Clinton's visit to Ottawa, the White House defused the troublesome issue by announcing that instead of a mandatory border fee, there should be a voluntary system, a so-called local option.Under that option, states bordering Canada and Mexico could, on their own, implement a crossing tax.If they do, Washington will reward them with extra money to fight illegal immigration and improve border facilities.The Clinton administration was under intense pressure from Congress, Canada and Mexico to drop the fee proposal, contained in the budget the president sent to Congress earlier this month: White House officials bristled INMATES: at the suggestion Wednesday that they succumbed to pressure.But members of Congress who opposed the border tax claimed victory.\u201cThe fee would have made it more expensive for Canadians to come to America and buy from our merchants,\u201d said Michigan Senator Spencer Abraham, one of the organizers of congressional opposition to the border levy.\u201cThe fee also would have discouraged tourism, not only by increasing its cost, but also by increasing congestion and delays at the border.\u201d Abraham echoed the opinion of many in Washington that it\u2019s highly unlikely states bordering Canada would implement a border tax, if only because they're the ones who would be hurt by it.That view was upheld by officials in border states.\u201cAt this point, there are no plans to implement a tax like that,\u201d said John Truscott, a spokesman in the Michigan state house in Lansing.\u201cCanada is a very important trading partner for us and we wouldn\u2019t want to do anything to hinder that relationship.\u201d Rorie Hanrahan in the governor\u2019s office in Montana said the strong anti-tax feeling sweeping the country makes new taxes of any form highly unlikely.\u201cWe oppose all new forms of taxation,\u201d she said flatly.\u201cOur state is actively working to promote the flow of people, commerce, culture and our relationship with Alberta and we'll continue to work to support that relationship and oppose new taxes.\u201d Maine Governor Angus King recently described the border tax proposal as \u201ca perfectly lousy idea.\u201d White House press secretary Mike McCurry acknowledged there was a great deal of concern about the proposed fee.However, he said, there were some people along the Mexican border who felt it would be a good idea.\u201cIn fact, there may be some states that want to take advantage of it,\u201d he said.\u201cAlong the Canadian border (they felt) somewhat different.\u201d In its original form, the fee PQ\u2019s Morin says CSIS paid him CSIS denied using politicians as informants By Jim Bronskill OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The watchdog for the Canadian Security Intelligence Service says CSIS gave assurances as recently as mid-1993 that no politicians were on its payroll.The Security Intelligence Review Committee says in a report released Wednesday that it formally asked CSIS in 1992 about its dealings with elected officials.The query was prompted by news that former Parti Québécois cabinet minister Claude Morin had been a paid informant for the RCMP security service between 1974 and 1977.CSIS replaced the security service as Canada\u2019s intelligence agency in 1984.In the June 1994 report, the review committee says CSIS indicated in April 1993 that \u201cthere are no elected officials who were, or are currently, paid or directed sources of the service.\u201d TOP SECRET REPORT A heavily edited copy of the report, classified top secret, was released under the Access to Information Act.Morin shocked the political world in May 1992 by revealing he accepted payments of up to $800 in cash from the RCMP security service every two months for more than two years.Following the revelation, John Bassett, then SIRC chairman, said the review committee would find it \u201cvery inappropriate\u201d for CSIS to use politicians as paid informants.Elected members of provincial legislatures or the House of could have generated up to $400 million annually, which would have been used in efforts to curb illegal immigration.There was particularly strong opposition from Canada.Dropping the idea ahead of President Bill Clinton\u2019s state visit to Ottawa on Thursday removes a potentially contentious issue from talks.Commons have a duty to tell CSIS of any information they come across involving a possible threat to Canadian security.But Bassett said it would be \u201calmost inexcusable\u201d for a politician to k= a paid source for the intelligence service.When asked in May 1992 if provincial or federal politicians were on the CSIS payroll, then solicitor general Doug Lewis would say only that CSIS had assured him nothing was being done to interfere with lawful political activity or dissent.Continued from page one Inmates \u2014 convicted of violent crimes ranging from second- degree murder to robbery and assault \u2014 eventually pleaded guilty to an attempted escape on April 22, Prisoners repeatedly stabbed one female guard with a needle and another was kicked in the knee so severely she\u2019s still on sick leave with blood clots.Unrest continued for four days.Ostrom was responsible for rounds in the segregation unit on April 26.\u201cThe inmates threw out a bar, I backed into the wall .They can reach out of their cell and touch you, it\u2019s so narrow,\u201d said Ostrom.\u201cThey were trying to set the sheets on fire.One had a pillow case (full of) bars from her bed and everytime I moved to go forward, she was banging it out.\u201d Inmates later tossed urine at a supervisor, who quelled them with threats of mace.That male supervisor recommended calling the riot squad.Stewart concluded the team was called to boost credibility of prison management in the eyes of demoralized staf¥, but Guy Beasley, spokesman for the union representing workers at the prison, disagrees.\u201cAnyone going in there without the equipment of an emergency response team, would have been subjected to .(inmates\u2019) clubs, home-made knives, they had cups with urine.Absolutely, it would have been dangerous.\u201d The prisoners have nightmares too.Dianne Shea remembers sitting naked and \u201cpsyched out\u201d in her prison cell last April waiting for riot squad guards to come and get her.\u201cThe only way I could handle it was to put my mind back to when I was four and my uncle came to rape me,\u201d she said Tuesday.\u201cI could handle that .that helped me deal with the situation.\u201d Shea, 29, was among the eight inmates in the segregation unit who were forced to strip.Shea said she listened as guards stripped and shackled other inmates.To avoid being stripped, she said she took her own clothes off and sat naked in her cell waiting for her turn.\u201cl never, never in my life thought I would have to take my clothes off,\u201d said the twice- convicted armed robber.\u201cI'm a big person now.\u201d She said the guards threw open all the windows in the cell area before they stripped the women, and left the win ows open.\u201cIt was winter out.It was not warm.\u201d Prisoners were dressed in paper gowns and marched backward to the showers, she said, then returned to their cells.Ellen Young, 29, another of the inmates involved, said tension was high in the prison before a videotape of the incident was aired on CBC\u2019s Fifth Estate on Tuesday night.\u201cThe more we talk to the public, the more they ride us,\u201d she said.\u201cBut it is important for people to know what happens behind closed doors.\u201d CABINET: : Continued from page one Robillard indicated she was raring to go, calling for a quick vote on whether Quebecers want to separate.\u201cI think what is very clear that we want to have this referendum as early as possible and with a clear question.\u201d She said the federal government will be a major presence in the referendum, even though it has been relatively quiet until now.\u201cWe'll speak out.Don\u2019t worry.We'll be there.\u201d Robillard won't have Chrétien\u2019s old role completely because Montreal MP Alfonso Gagliano is doing much of the organizational groundwork Chrétien did in 1980.QUESTION: Continued from page one Quebec a sovereign country.Johnson said Quebecers don\u2019t want to separate and an attempt by Parizeau to fool people into voting for separation is \u201cdishonorable.\u201d \u201cI would think you would have to pretty desperate to start thinking about dividing Quebecers further and getting away from the option,\u201d Johnson told a news conference after his speech.Parizeau said this week that the government has to come up with a winning question after a poll suggested support for sovereignty is stalled at 40 per cent.Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Chrétien will restrict his own involvement in the referendum campaign so he can have maximum impact when he does intervene.Chrétien found Robillard a cabinet post in a way that avoided a shuffle.Heritage Minister Michel_ Dupuy and Health Minister Diane Marleau, considered weak links in cabinet, stay for the time being.Robillard became an MP along with two other Liberals elected in byelections last week \u2014 Mauril Bélanger and Denis Paradis.The three became MPs during a five-minute ceremony following the weekly Liberal caucus meeting.A beaming Chrétien and a small crowd of colleagues, family and friends looked on as Robil- lard, Belanger and Paradis swore their oaths.After he was welcomed back to the Commons, Bouchard said he was touched by the many letters and cards of support he received from across the country, but he .said it bas not changed his commitment to an independent Quebec.# Bouchard stood unassisted on his artificial leg as he thanked Canadians for their support.Later, a weary-looking Bou- chard told a news conference that a referendum must be held in 1995, which appeared to bring him into line with Quebec Premier Jacques Parizeau.The two men have not always agreed on the timing of a referendum.Bouchard has said in the past that a vote on independence should not be held until there is virtual certainty it can be won.Parizeau said this week he will not back away from his promise to hold it this year.\u201cMr.Parizeau and myself are in perfect agreement,\u201d he said.\u201cIt must be a clear and winning - Togetion and it ill happen in 1995.\u201d \u201d Bouchard said he does not like the question that Parizeau has proposed which asks Quebecers if they approve of a bill to be adopted by the legislature proclaiming Quebec an independent country.It's not a good question because the polls show Quebecers won't vote in favor of it, he said.\u201cWhat we can draw as a conclusion is that they want out of the current situation but they want it with less risk and they want to know where they're going,\u201d he said.He said he has no \u201cmiracle question\u201d in mind and that Pari- zeau must make the final deci- .Sion on the timing and the wor- + ding of the referendum.\"Bouchard said he wished Robillard luck in her new role in federal politics, and hoped she wouldn't become as disillusioned as he did as a Tory minister in the government of Brian Mulroney from 1988-1990.Bouchard said the last three months, while he was fighting for his life against the flesh-eating disease, taught him \u201csomething about this House \u2014 that you can miss it.\u201d He thanked Chrétien and the MPs, including Reform MP Jan Brown who had placed a yellow rose on his empty desk when his life hung in the balance.\u201cI salute this capacity to go above the debates in this House even if they are as important as the political future of this-eoup- try,\u201d Bouchard, said.Reform party Leader Preston Manning saluted Bouchard and spoke only French.\u201cWe do all share a common love of health and life,\u201d he said.\u201c- We know you faced a very difficult situation.\u201d He said that when MPs learned Bouchard was out of danger, \u201cwe shared a common relief and gratitude.\u201d Bouchard said a No vote would be disastrous for Quebec and added \u201cyou have to ask a question that will have a positive result for Quebec.\u201d A number of different options for referendum questions have been floated within the PQ and outside the party.They include asking voters to choose between separation and the status quo.Johnson rejected Bouchard\u2019s statement that Quebec would be weakened by a No vote in the referendum.He said a No would only signal the rejection of the PQ\u2019s option and federalism would continue to evolve afterward.Charles Bury, Editor CIRCULATION DEPT.819-569-9528 KNOWLTON OFF.: 514-242-1188 Randy Kinnear, Publisher

PST TOTAL \u201cOut of Quebéc residents Parizeau has long been a fan of a clear question that forces Que- becers to choose once and for all between an independent Quebec and Canada.He was sharply critical of the PQ\u2019s rambling 112-word question in the 1980 sovereignty-association referendum, For more than a year before last fall's provincial election, Parizeau repeatedly suggested as a possible question: \u201cDo you want Quebec to become a sovereign country on such and such a date?Yes or No.\u201d But last December, that question suddenly changed to the much more subtle: \u201cAre you in favor of the Act passed by the Quebec National Assembly declaring the sovereignty of Quebec?\u201d Now \u2014 with recent polls suggesting most Quebecers would have voted No to such a question \u2014 Parizeau is saying the government has \u201chit a snag\u201d with the wording.Both he and Bloc Leader Bouchard are looking for a more popular formulation.The premier has taken to discussing at every opportunity an alternative question that would force Quebecers to choose between sovereignty and the constitutional status quo.The fledgling Action Démocratique party and the Quebec Chamber of Commerce are pushing for multiple-choice questions \u2014 asking Quebecers to choose between sovereignty, the status quo or something in between.And some separatists have even called on Parizeau to propose a question that would give Canada one last chance.CLOSER: Continued from page one ter from Quebec, but not the most senior one.That job * belongs Foreign Affairs Minister André Ouellet, just as Marc Lalonde was senior to Chrétien.Robillard\u2019s relatively light cabinet duties will give her time to be the federal government representative on the no committee in Quebec to plan strategy, organize the referendum and co-ordinate Chrétien\u2019s own role.Chrétien will restrict his own involvement in the referendum campaign so he can have maximum impact when he does WVEATHER intervene, just like Trudeau.Robillard will be supported by a team of bureaucrats working on the unity issue, though they will be less visible than the Canadian Unity Information Office that supported Chrétien.His government has been slow to jump into the pre- referendum debate.But the federal government was also slow to start in the 1980 campaign.Chrétien was appointed less than three months before the May vote.\u201cJust wait, the campaign didn\u2019t start yet,\u201d Robillard told reporters.\u201cWe will have the no forces umbrella and we'll be there and we'll speak \u2014 don\u2019t worry.\u201d There are differences in the federal team this time around \u2014 reflecting some lessons learned and some changed circumstances.For one, Robillard comes almost directly from Quebec politics as a former provincial cabinet minister.She is on good terms with Michel Bélanger and Liberal Leader Daniel Johnson, leaders of the federalist side.Chrétien had a frosty relationship with Claude Ryan, who led federalist forces in 1980 and did not welcome input from the federal government.Robillard will also have to worry about separatists in the Commons, unlike Chrétien in 1980.Her entrance as a cabinet minister was timed to take away from Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard\u2019s re-entry to public life after three months away recovering from the loss of a leg.The strategy seemed to work.Robillard got media attention and did not have to face any direct questions from the Bloc.Her job is bound to get tougher.Canada! year $300 81 yi Sra do not include PST.Thursday will

will lose about $12 million a year Quebec slices health care still closer to the bone By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 Already facing a severe budget crunch, the regional health board has announced yet more provincial government cuts to the regional health and social service budget.Over the 1994-95 budget year, a ceiling of 1 per cent growth was imposed on the Régie regional de la santé et des services sociaux de l'Estrie's budget.Parti Québécois health minister Jean Rochon announced recently that the budget will be frozen at current levels for the next three years.With no additional money, the region will have to make up for rising costs such as salary increases within its current annual budget of around $200 million, said health board director Jean- Pierre Duplantie.Overall, that means the local board will lose about $12 million a year over the next three years.But, Duplantie explained, the cuts will be offset by some government spending on specific priority programs in areas such as home care, mental health resources, and community organizations.DOWN $6.6 MILLION Duplantie said that once the board counts on about $6.4 mil- lionin re-allocations to those programs, the actual cut will closer to $6.6 million for 1995-96.Duplantie and health board president Dianne Roy told reporters Wednesday the board will meet its objectives through a reorganization of health and social services which will put an accent on helping people in their own environment.That in turn will lead to a drop in the number of beds in acute care hospitals and chronic care facilities.In order to achieve the goal of keeping people out of costly hospital beds, there will be more help to families, community groups, and a greater emphasis on front line services offered by community health clinics (CLSCs) and family doctors in private practice.Also needed will be a redeployment of personel from hospitals to front line areas such as CLSCs and home care services.Added to this will be shorter hospital stays thanks to more day surgery and more convalescence at home with the support of home care services.TECHNOLOGY INVESTMENTS Duplantie admits the technology for day surgery is expensive, but he said the government has expressed its willingness to invest in technology in order to save money futher down the road.The new budget compressions are in addition to $24 million in cuts over the next three years demanded by the former Liberal government.In order to meet the majority of that cut, the region is merging hospital administrations and will eventually close one downtown hospital.When it was announced, the Régie said the re-organization of : Sherbrooke\u2019s five general hospi- centres and other hospitals throughout the region.TEAMWORK Roy said it will be up to institutions in each of Estrie\u2019s five regional municipalities (MRCs) to set priorities and come up with a plan to save money.She said that means cuts would differ from region to region depending on their different needs.The Régie must submit a regional strategic plan to the government in April.In the meantime, the board met with various hosnital and CLSC managers to inform them of the plan approved by the board of directors this week.Another information meeting was planned for various hopsital, CLSC, and social service managers, board members and representatives Wednesday night.Jean-Pierre Duplantie: Money for new technology.Roy said it\u2019s important for the health and social service network to agree on the orientations set is A by the board so that it can work together to meet new budget challenges.de Boucher.Innovatech du Sud du Québec, which is modelled on government investment funds in the Montreal and Quebec City areas, would provide risk High-tech

concentrate on eliminating budget deficits and boosting productivity so that they can begin to reduce the country\u2019s enormous national debt.Towards that end, the Chamber proposed that governments enact legislation forbidding SRE 0 ONENRE ESC QA \"Whether sovereignty passes, or federalism is reformed, RECORD: GRANT SIMEON them to spend more than they receive in the form of revenues each year.In addition, the group would like to see a budget management watchdog set up to review the performance of bureaucrats charged with handling public funds.FACE THE FACTS \u201cWhether sovereignty passes,

confidence among the electorate and financial markets, a constitutional law prohibiting deficits must be established.\u201d Although the Chamber of Commerce did not pronounce itself one way or another on the issue of Quebec\u2019s separation, it came out strongly in favor of handing greater fiscal powers to regional and local governments.As far as regional development is concerned, Borduas underlined the Chamber's view that Quebec City\u2019s role should be to facilitate the \u201cvitality\u201d of the regions \u2014 not to interfere with and obstruct local initiatives.Administrative structures like the regional municipal councils (MRCs) have limited value if they aren\u2019t accompanied with adequate financial resources, Borduas said.The Chamber suggests the government consider granting an annual budget to each region.HISTORIC ROLE The Chamber of Commerce brief acknowledges the historical role of the English community in the Eastern Townships, and in a section entitled multiculturalism, states that the \u201cprimary concern in the Eastern Townships is to ensure support for those institutions belonging to the English-speaking community which are an integral part of the region\u2019s heritage.\u201d For Sherbrooke MNA Marie Malavoy, who sat in on Wednesday's commission, this statement was too much to bear.\u201cDon\u2019t you think that that the priority should be to guarantee the development and broadening of the francophone community?\u201d scolded Malavoy, who then pressed Borduas to see if he would at least agree that francophone culture was threatened.Borduas replied that he had confidence in the capacity of French Quebecers to preserve their culture.\u201cIf they didn\u2019t, I think they would have disappeared a long time ago.\u201d Federalism has failed to recognize Quebec\u2019s uniqueness Give sovereigntists a chance \u2014 PO SHERBROOKE (DW) \u2014 The Parti Québécois\u2019 regional association quoted generously from a book authored by former Liberal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Gil Rémillard to fuel its case against federalism during sovereignty hearings in Sherbrooke Wednesday.Rémillard, a key adviser to Robert Bourassa during the failed constitutional negotiations of 1990 and 1992, wrote \u201cCanadian federalism\u201d 15 years ago.In it, he predicted that failure to change Canada\u2019s constitution to allow Quebec greater autonomy would put the province on the path to independence.Yesterday in Sherbrooke the PQ\u2019s regional president Céline Dostie, used passages from Rémillard\u2019s work to show that Canadian federalism has been a failure for Quebec.DEAD END \u201cAll efforts to gain recognition for Quebec\u2019s uniqueness within the framework of a renewed federalism have arrived at a dead end,\u201d Dostie said.\u201cIt's time to give a chance to the sovereign- tist forces.\u201d Writing in the months following the rejection of sovereignty-association as proposed in the 1980 referendum, Rémillard hypothesized that such constitutional reform would eventually come when the rest of Canada accepted the value of compromise.It didn\u2019t, and Dostie summarized for commissioners her borrowed analysis of the problem: \u201cEnglish Canada looks toward Ottawa, while Quebecers look toward their national capital (for coherence).The result is a growing rivalry.which is harmful to both peoples.\u201d Dostie warned that if Quebe- cers don\u2019t seize the opportunity to become masters of their own home in 1995, their concerns may be forgotten forever in the \u2018new world order\u2019.ONE GOVERNMENT \u201cThe protection the interests of all members of Quebec society demands a single government talking and negotiating in the name of a distinct society.It can be none other than the government of Quebec,\u201d Dostie said.The regional PQ president made special mention of the need to reassure anglophones in the Eastern Townships that a sovereign Quebec would respect their \u2018historical rights,\u201d and even suggested they could be relied\u2019 Céline Dostie.Too many dead ends.upon as a sort of cultural bridge to English-speaking North America.The Parti Québécois\u2019s regional association would also favor changing the referendum question to allow Quebecers to express themselves clearly on status quo federalism and sovereignty at the same time.Drinking and Driving PERIOD 4e AA SOCIÉTÉ DE L'ASSURANCE AUTOMOBILE DU QUÉBEC RECORD: GRANT SIMEON - mB Ad -. es 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Thursday, February 23, 1995 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Suing the merchants of death Time may be finally running out for the tobacco industry.Last week a U.S.federal judge paved the way for the largest class action suit in American history when he ruled that a consortium of 60 law firms could sue tobacco companies on behalf of smokers.Judge Okla Jones said the tobacco industry could be sued for damages on the grounds that they concealed information about the addictiveness of nicotine.Jones\u2019 decision means that an estimated 40 million American smokers and 50 million former smokers, not to mention the estates of deceased smokers, can file claims against the tobbaco industry.Whenever this class action suit takes place, you can be assured that it will garner more interest than the O.J.Simpson trial.The amount of money that could end up being tossed about will be astronomical.Sure it may not be enough to put the merchants of death out of business, but if the claimants win their case it could severely cripple the tobacco industry.It would also set a precedent that could lead to similar cases throughout the world.How long would it be before Canadian smokers followed suit?Or smokers in

media are trying to hold their own in a small cultural patch.Brian Segal, addressing a Canadian-U.S.business group, tried to define Canada\u2019s position on the need for cultural protection.He said the best way to describe the Canadian media conundrum was by referring to a recent contest on CBC radio.The host of the show, Peter Gzowski, lamented the fact Americans have expressions like \u201cas American as apple pie\u201d but Canadians do not.Segal said listeners were asked to end the phrase \u201cas Canadian as.\u201d \u201cThe winning entry was, \u2018as Canadian as possible in the cir- \u201d cumstances.\u2019 In an ideal world, Canadian media could survive and thrive without the special protective measures that so irritate U.S.media and trade officials, Segal said.INVESTIGATING BARRIERS Ambassador Mickey Kantor, the U.S.trade representative, recently launched a broad investigation into Canadian trade barriers in the so- called cultural industries.The investigation comes in response to the recent eviction of Country Music Television from Canadian airwaves.Kantor is also concerned about Ottawa\u2019s decision to place an excise tax on Canadian editions of American magazines and a tax on blank cassettes to compensate Canadian performers, Canadian media interests are simply trying to preserve a small share of the Canadian magazine and television audience, Segal said.\u201cThese restrictions are not designed to and will not turn back the tide of American product coming into Canada .rather, they are designed to allow Canadian media to carve out a peice of the Canadian pie on a basis that is commercially viable.\u201d It\u2019s clear Americans can\u2019t comprehend the need for cultural protection, Segal said, because theyre so confident of their own culture and their dominion over cultural markets.CAN'T DOMINATE But Canadians will never dominate their national media industry, no matter what measures and restrictions Ottawa brings to bear, he said.Segal also read statistics which editor defends Canadian culture he said make it difficult to understand how American media and television industries can complain of damage by Canadian cultural sovereignists.Canadians spend 60 per cent of their viewing time watching U.S.television programming.For drama, that figure rises to roughly 80 per cent.About 80 per cent of all periodicals sold on newstands are American and just under two-thirds of all books bought in Canada are authored by foreigners, he said.Canadians believe if they ever penetrated U.S.cultural markets by the same degree as U.S.penetration levels in Canada, \u201csuch Canadian industries would be subject to .the whole weight of U.S.trade law and regulation,\u201d Segal said. Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014Thursday, February 23, 1995\u20145 Becord Negotiations threatened EU\u2019s trade spat with Canada escalates over tariffs BRUSSELS (AP-CP) \u2014 The European Union said Wednesday it will retaliate if Canada slaps tariffs on EU consumer goods, raising the spectre of a trade war involving products from fish to women\u2019s shoes.Already scuffling with the EU over turbot quotas in the north Atlantic, Canada has soured relations further by threatening higher tariffs on EU goods unless it is compensated for the recent expansion of the EU to 15 countries.Canada has proposed raising tariff limits on European vodka, high-value women\u2019s shoes, lead crystal glassware, and perfume products as of March 27, amounting to about $8.25 million Cdn.\u201cWe think this is wholly unjustified and is unhelpful to the climate of negotiations,\u201d EU spokesman Peter Guilford said Wednesday.\u201cWe reserve the right\u201d to retaliate.Unlike the United States, which reached a compensation accord with the EU in December, Canada has yet to gain any relief for its companies that now pay higher export tariffs to the three new members, Austria, Finland and Sweden.The three countries raised tariff levels to match those of other EU members when they joined the union on Jan.1.Under the World Trade Organization, which regulates world trade, the EU is obligated to compensate trading partners affected by the expansion of its customs union.\u201cThe EU has chosen to disregard established procedures for notifying, consulting and compensating Canada

you should consider weighting your RRSP portfolio of holdings with some mutual funds containing common stocks.The best way to increase the growth potential of your RRSP investment and at the same time

Be careful not to confuse book value with \u201cmarket value,\u201d which is the price the investments are worth right now.Here's how it works: suppose you purchased 500 units of a European bond fund at $10 each, and you're holding these units in your RRSP.Those units have risen in value and are now selling for $12 a unit.The book value of the units, used to determine your RRSP\u2019s foreign content, is 500 units times $10, or $5,000 \u2014 that\u2019s what you paid for them.Their current value, $6,000, doesn\u2019t enter into the equation at all.The foreign content rules are quite strict, and Revenue Canada will charge a penalty of one per cent per month on any amount over the limit.So, the best way to avoid exceeding the limit is to deal only with a large, trustworthy and experienced mutual fund company that has a full range of administrative services.Such a company will assume responsibility for keeping your RRSP investments inside the government-imposed limit.Many Canadians are under the impression that international investing is somehow much riskier than investing at home.But that\u2019s not necessarily so.By investing internationally you are adding an important element of diversification to your RRSP portfolio: geographic diversification.The economies of the world are at different points of the economic cycle, and don\u2019t all develop at the same

$1 billion.\u201cWe have 20 per cent fewer people doing a much larger job \u2014 when they want it.\u201d Guilford also said recent comments by Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin have heightened the

did last year, he said.Greenspan's testimony was likely to indicate to economists that the central bank is preparing to leave short-term interest rates unchanged for some time, almost certainly through its March 28 meeting and perhaps more flights and passengers,\u201d Harris said.After cutting flights and aircraft during the recession, the carrier expanded its seat capacity by 11 per cent last year and 13 per cent this year.Another 19 aircraft will be added this year while three older B-747s will be retired, bringing the fleet to 123.Analyst Jacques Kavafian said he is not worried about filling the planes because the airline'\u2019s new Asian destinations like Seoul and Osaka are in high demand.Several new direct flights will also be added to U.S.cities such as Orlando,

million last year, compared with a profit of $761 million in 1993.However, despite those hefty profits over the past two years, the power utility wants the provincial government to approve a 1.4 per cent rate increase in the coming months, Hydro chairman Richard Drouin wouldn\u2019t say whether the increase will hit business or residential clients hardest.\u201cWe plan to discuss it at a - parliamentary commission in March,\u201d he said., The Quebec government makes a decision on any rate increase for Crown corporations during its spending estimates; which are usually compiled in the spring just before the provincial budget is brought down.: Demand for electricity has decreased because of the mild winter this year.Yet Drouin said Hydro-Quebec needs the ratd increase because the cost of borrowing money has gone up, particularly on U.S.capital markets.' Home-based company gets giant boost By Eleanor Whyte TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Serendipity brought Lori Vaillancourt\u2019s tiny art consulting company its biggest contract ever \u2014 to supply the finishing touches for a giant new shopping- entertainment complex in Japan.There was just one catch: she had to have everything ready in three weeks, without first visiting the site in Kuwana, Japan.Vaillancourt, owner and sole employee of Distinctive Art Services operated out of her home, spends most of her time selecting art for the cttices of clients like Scotiabank, Midland Walwyn and

Hira underwent a risky 16-hour operation Jan.23 at Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children.The sisters had been joined at the head since birth, sharing a main artery and several veins.Hira was awake, alert and playing with dolls about three weeks after the surgery but Nida never left intensive care.She never regained full consciousness and doctors feared she suffered brain damage during the operation.\u201cShe would occasionally open her eyes,\u201d hospital spokeswoman Claudia Anderson said Wednesday.\u201cBut she never was fully conscious.From the time of surgery the outlook for Nida was guarded.\u201d The official cause of death was a heart attack.Procedures to separate children joined at the head \u2014 known as cephalophagus twins \u2014 have Dealing with inappropriate behavior The three keys to discipline in the family By Brenda Kossowan Red Deer Advocate RED DEER, Alta.(CP) \u2014 Begging, pleading and vague questions undermine effective discipline, says a school psychologist, who has three rules for dealing with inappropriate behavior.The main factor confusing parents, says Michael Valentine, is that they've read 10 psychology books, each of which presents a different and conflicting message.Whether it\u2019s out of concern for their children\u2019s self-esteem, a desire to be less overbearing than their own parents or some other factor, Valentine says some parents are forfeiting control of their children.They try to make parenting into a democracy, which simply Macmillan and on sale for $17.95.\u201cI thought, if I want to know, others in my Baby Boomers age group will want to know,\u201d she says.Dembe interviewed such super-fit seniors as former Ontario Lieutenant-Governor Pauline McGibbon, 84, and 81-year-old Eleanor Mills, who still participates in marathon walks despite suffering severe osteoporosis.In doing so, she realized that it isn\u2019t how long a person lives, but how he or she lives that makes all the difference.\u201cEleanor Mills said to me that she could have gone to bed and stayed there, but she wasn\u2019t going to let a broken back stop her \u2014 so she just keeps on walking to raise funds for osteoporosis research.\u201d Dembe acknowledges that all the subjects were optimists by only been performed 30 times.In two-thirds of the operations, one or both children died.After surgery, not

is a runner who also participates in long-distance marathons.She says that most of the seniors she met in compiling the book were involved in some type of fitness activity on a regular basis.\u201cI discovered they all have found something in their lives that give them tremendous joy,\u201d she says.\u201cWhether it's work, their families or a hobby \u2014 they all had something they are passionate about.\u201d Mammogram helped doctors save my life Dear Ann Landers: On the morning of my mammogram last August, I opened the paper to your column.The first letter was from a woman who had breast pain and was told not to worry about it because painful lumps were not cancerous.The writer found out later that her painful lump was indeed cancer I, too, was having breast pain, although I could feel no lump.My doctor had recommended that I get a mammogram when I turned 35.Because of the pain, I scheduled the mammogram a month before my 35th birthday.My mammogram showed a suspicious area too small to be felt.It was biopsied, and I was diagnosed and questions.Instead of telling a child to stop hitting his sister, they tell the child to act his age and they ask the child why he\u2019s doing it.\u201cIf he tells you a good reason for hitting his sister, is it OK to hit her again?\u201d Children respond best to a direct statement.If you want the child to do something, tell him to do it, and get in the habit of telling the child what to do and what not to do before the behavior gets out of control.\u2014No excuses.Parents have bought into systems of belief that allow them to excuse their children\u2019s foibles away.They say things like \u201cboys must be boys,\u201d or that the child can\u2019t control his behavior because he\u2019s hyperactive.Most children who have been excused as hyperactive behave differently in large crowds than when they're with smaller groups and they behave differently with their mother than with their father.That indicates they can control their behavior.They're doing it all the time.\u2014Focus on solutions.Discipline should be structured so that, regardless which choice a child makes, the parent MUSEUMs AND ARTS Leaving

Recently, I met a 24-year-old man who swept me off my feet.We were perfect together When \"Ike\" asked me to marry him, I didn't accept, but neither did I decline.I simply told him I thought we should give it more time.We had been dating for only two and a half months.Ike had been married before and was very frank about why the marriage lasted only a short time.He said the girl claimed she was pregnant but refused to go to the doctor because she was single.So he married her.After he found out she was not pregnant, he decided he could no longer trust her.From then on, it was downhill all the way.Ann, I am 19 and pregnant.The baby is Ike's.Since I told him three weeks ago, we have spoken only once.In that conversation, he said the reason he did not return my calls was because \"we don't have anything to talk about.\" He added, \"After the child is born, I am going to demand a blood test.\u201d Since Ike refuses to be supportive of me and his baby, I do not want to give the baby his name.If I don't, will it hurt my chances of getting child support?Should I continue to attempt to get Ike to come with me for my doctor appointments even though he ignores the messages I leave on his

Ritalin.Parents have indicated the children are placed on this medication because they daydream or don\u2019t stay on task.Is there a testing procedure for ADD or are they prescribed Ritalin lightheartedly?DEAR READER: No one knows the consequences of the long-term use of stimulants, such as Ritalin, in children with attention deficit disorder.As a physician who works with young people, I am concerned \u2014 as are many teachers and health professionals \u2014 about the increasingly prevalent use of Ritalin and similar drugs in schoolchildren who have trouble learning and concentrating.Unquestionably, there are children (and adults) with ADD who are immensely helped by medication.However, the diagnosis of ADD is tricky.There is no foolproof test for the disorder, so I am certain that a significant number of youngsters are being prescribed Ritalin in hopes of improving their school performance \u2014 when they don\u2019t have ADD at all, or suffer from mild cases.People with bona fide ADD usually exhibit impulsivity, poor learning patterns, fidgetiness, poor self-esteem, and a variety of other symptoms \u2014 all of which can be helped by Ritalin and similar medications.The cause of ADD is unknown, Do all children with learning disabilities and short attention spans need drugs?I think not.Yet, more and more practitioners are prescribing medicine for these problems.Twenty years down the road, will we be forced to deal with an entire generation of stimulant- dependent people?I hope not.Therefore, I urge patients in my practice to take ADD seriously but to make sure that extensive performance tests have been administered and interpreted by qualified professionals before they allow their children to be put on powerful drugs that may produce undesirable side effects, such as overstimulation, insomnia and high blood pressure, to name a few.At present, the pendulum appears to be swinging toward giving more medicine for what seem to be inconclusive indications.I hope that, in the future, the pendulum will swing back \u2014 as the diagnosis of ADD becomes more accurate, scientific and defined.DEAR DR.GOTT: What recommendations can you give to a patient who has been diagnosed as having a hiatal hernia with occasional internal bleeding?DEAR READER: Where the esophagus joins the stomach, there is normally a ring of muscle that prevents the stomach from sliding up into the chest cavity.This muscular valve also 4 i \u201d ; NL di.pn À stops reflux, the backwash of gastric acid into the esophagus.In patients with hiatal hernia, this muscular ring doesn\u2019t function properly and allows the upper stomach and lower esophagus to become irritated and inflamed, sometimes leading to intestinal bleeding.The goal of therapy is to reduce the concentration of gastric acid.Antacids often help, but most patients need stronger prescription drugs, such as Zantac or Prilosec.In some instances, surgery may be necessary to tighten the muscular ring and prevent the consequences of the hernia, especially if the weakness is pronounced or if persistent bleeding occurs.In my opinion, patients with hiatal hernia and bleeding should be under the care of gastroenterologists, who can identify appropriate methods to prevent symptoms, such as heartburn, bloating and bleeding.In almost all cases, however, specialists prefer a trial of medication before recommending surgery.DEAR DR.GOTT: I was diagnosed seven years ago with a right bundle branch block.Would you please explain this and indicate if I should see a cardiologist for the condition?DEAR READER: Electrical impulses reach the cardiac muscle through two major nerves: the right bundle and the left bundle.The RECORD\u2014Thursday, February 23, 1995\u20147 On occasion, the electrocardiogram reveals slowing of the electricity through these nerves, resulting in either right or left bundie branch block.RBBB is fairly common and does not, like LBBB, denote heart disease.It is usually an incidental finding on the electrocardiogram, causes no symptoms and requires no treatment.RBBB can be the result of certain diseases, such as sarcoidosis (a type of inflammation affecting many organs, including the heart), but this relation is rare.Although you are probably safe ignoring the RBBB, you should confirm its benign significance with a cardiologist, who will probably order a stress test (if you are over 50) to make certain that your cardiac muscle is healthy.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: My husband recently read about the hazards of taking chromium.I've taken this supplement for almost three years and have developed a dull ache under my armpit.When | stopped it for a week, the pain disappeared.What are the symptoms of chromium poisoning?I'm beside myself worrying.DEAR READER: You needn't worry.because chromium poisoning from dietary supplements does not ordinarily occur in humans.It has been.reported in laboratory animals, though, who were fed the equivalent of 1,000 times the usual human intake of 50 micrograms daily.Chromium is plentiful in foods, such as meat, cheese, whole grains, eggs, fruit, and brewer's yeast.Toxicity can be produced from chronic industrial exposure (or excessive supplements), causing liver and kidney damage.You don\u2019t need chromium supplements, which have not been proved scientifically to be of any benefit.© 1995 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.DR.GOTT PETER GOTT, M.D.Valentine tea and sale was a great success STANSTEAD

Here we go! QUILT REGISTRY INFORMATION \u2014 Some time ago we answered a letter from Ellen Mineer of Prescott Valley, Ariz., who wanted to register the quilt she had sewn and named \u201cMoon Valley.\u201d We told her that our resources were unaware that such a registry existed.We are delighted to learn that, in fact, there is an organization called the International Quilt Registry (IQR).As Sandra Goforth, executive director of the IQR, wrote us: \u201cIQR is dedicated to preserving the legacy of the quilter through a detailed record of her work.We have a complete service for historical preservation and evaluation for insurance purposes.\u201d For information on registering one\u2019s quilts, please contact International Quilt Registry, P.O.Box 86666, Phoenix, AZ 85080 (1-800-432-1094).\u201cCHRISTMAS EVE GIFT\u201d CUSTOM \u2014 Audrey Hollington of Mena, Ark., wondered about the origin of her family\u2019s custom of saying \u201cChristmas Eve gift!\u201d when first greeting someone on Christmas Eve.George Case of Coos Bay, Ore, replied: \u201cIn the pre-Civil War South, it was customary for a slave to approach the master on Christmas Day and say the magic words \u2018Christmas Gift\u2019! Incidentally, the gift was often the year\u2019s allowance of clothing.The crops were in and paid for by late fall, and the slave owner would have bought the heavy shoes and rough clothing with which to dress his people until the next crop was sold.Christmas time fell just right for this.\u201d POTATO CANDY \u2014 For Angela Roberts of Robert, La., who wrote asking for a recipe for Potato Candy, Donald Doster of Hornell, N.Y, replied: \u201cPotato Candy can not only be rolled into balls but can be made into various shapes to differentiate the different flavorings you can add \u2014 our last batch was maple.\u201cThe recipe: Peel and boil up a potato or two or three.Mash with a fork.PLEASE PRINT TELEPHONE: (819) 569-9525 (514) 242-1188 BY MAIL: Use this coupon IN PERSON: Come to our offices 2850 Delorme Street, Sherbrooke OFFICE HOURS: Sherbrooke: Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.Knowlton: Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m.t0 4:00 p.m.CATEGORY NAME Start adding powdered sugar.It will first get soupy, but keep working in more powdered sugar.It takes so much that I had to go out and buy more powdered sugar in the middle last time.Add some flavoring and/or food coloring as desired before it gets too stiff, but keep on with the powdered sugar.Eventually it will get to the point of shapeability.If you are a REAL sweet lover, you can dip the finished product in chocolate.\u201d ESSAY OR POEM OF \u201cTHE SAND DOLLAR LEGEND\u201d \u2014 Gina Hackley of Clarksdale, Ariz., was looking for either an essay or a poem of The Legend of the Sand Dollar.Many thanks to all of you who replied.Unfortunately, the poem is too long to print here (we've sent it on to Gina), but here is the essay.THE SAND DOLLAR LEGEND These strange and beautiful shells tell the story of Christ\u2019s suffering and His glory.The Easter Lily shape at the center of the sand dollar represents the Star of Bethlehem, which guided the shepherds from afar.The five holes represent the five wounds of Christ.On the back the Christmas Poinsettia, in outline, reminds us ali of His birthday.Five Doves of Peace and Good Will appear when the shell is broken apart.This fascinating creature from the sea is referred to as The Holy Ghost Shell because of the legend attached to it.DEAR ANNE AND NAN: Do you know of a company that designs clothing for people who are physically challenged, i.e.people in wheelchairs or arthritic, ete.who are on a low-income budget?I would appreciate a catalog, if available.\u2014 MAY USHER, Charles City, Iowa DEAR MAY: P.R.LD.E, a wonderful nonprofit charitable organization dedicated to solving clothing problems for the disabled and elderly, offers a publication, \u201cResources and Clothing for Special Needs\u201d ($3.50 postpaid), which we think will be helpful to you.This is a listing of services, catalogs, books, etc.of resources for the disabled and elderly and for their families, as well as for educators and health-care professionals.16\u20ac per word.Minimum charge $400 per day for 25 words or less.Discounts for ADVERTISER'S prepaid consecutive insertions without copy change: 3 insertions - less 10%, 6 NAME CLEARLY insertions - less 15%, 21 insertions - less 20%.Or mail your prepaid classified ads to: Bn i DEADLINE: 11 a.m.working day previous to publication - - - a eee Antiques | WANTED: Buy collector Cookie Jars and figural Tea Pots.Call (819) 837-2687.16506 60| Articles for Sale CRAFTSMAN 6\u201d and 9\u201d bench saws;

DEAR ANNE AND NAN: Could you possibly print a good recipe for Sweet Potato Pie?The one I have is lacking something.Also, how do I make a good crust?The one I make turns out heavy.\u2014 VIOLET, Ocala, Fla.DEAR VIOLET: We think you'll never taste a Sweet Potato Pie as good as this one.When Edna Lewis was head chef at Anne's brother's restaurant at Middleton Place in Charleston, S.C., Anne had a slice of this ambrosial pie and Mrs.Lewis kindly gave her the recipe.The recipe is also included in Mrs.Lewis\u2019 book, \u201cThe Taste of Country Cooking\u201d (Alfred Knopf, 1983).Sweet Potato Pie (makes 2 10-inch pies) 2 cups peeled, mashed and sieved sweet potatoes 1 cup sugar 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon fresh-grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 3 small or medium eggs, separated 2 teaspoons vanilla extract 2/3 cup butter, melted over hot water 1-2/3 cups milk, at room temperature In a mixing bowl combine the sieved sweet potatoes, sugar, spices, salt, beaten egg yolks, vanilla and melted butter.Mix thoroughly.Add in the milk and stir well.Beat the whites of eggs to the frothy stage and stir them into the batter.Pour the batter into pastry-lined pie pans.Bake in a 350- degree oven for 40-45 minutes.(NOTE: To keep the pastry from becoming soggy or \u201cheavy,\u201d chill pas- try-lined pans thoroughly before filling with pie mixture or brush the pastry with egg white and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.Cool before adding filling.)

by the young.However, one exception to this rule is Dan Hirschman, from Southfield, Mich.He became a Life Master in the early hours of November 25, 1994, at the age of 10 years, two months and 20 days.This broke the record by over a year.And it is even more impressive when you consider that Dan played in his first duplicate on August 17,1993.Today's deal features Dan on defense.South should pass three no-trump.True, on a club lead from East, North must guess correctly to make the contract.But a heart start is more likely, after which North has 10 top tricks.Against four spades, West, Dan\u2019s father Marty, led the heart eight, third- or fifth-highest by agreement.South took Dan\u2019s king with his ace and continued with three rounds of trumps.After winning with the queen, what should Dan lead now?If he tries a low club, declarer might or might not guess correctly.Instead, Dan gave South no chance.He returned the diamond nine.After winning in the dummy, how could the declarer continue?If he played a heart, West would win with the queen, East would ruff a diamond and a heart exit would lock South in his hand, forced to lead away from the club king.Instead, South tried a club to his king.But West won with the ace and gave East a diamond ruff.The defenders cashed the club queen and heart queen to defeat the contract by two tricks.This gave the Hirschmans a top in a pair event.© 1995 by NEA Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Thursday, Feb.23, 1995 \u201cYour Birthday Thursday, Feb.23, 1995 Developments in the year ahead might stir your leadership qualities.Once you

Massey-Vanier, Galt dominate ETIAC basketball final By Robert Matheson LENNOXVILLE \u2014 Alexander Galt and Massey-Vanier Regional high schools dominated the ETIAC basketball championships on Wednesday.Galt won three of the six titles, while Massey-Vanier took a pair of championships.The Richmond junior girls\u2019 won the remaining final.As expected, the Galt Pipers won the senior boys\u2019 championship, but it was a lot closer than anyone could have imagined.The Pipers beat the outman- ned Massey-Vanier Vikings 63-47 in the final, but led only 41-39 after three quarters.Jono McKercher led Galt\u2019s fourth-quarter outburst as the Pipers outscored Massey-Vanier 22-8 in the final eight minutes of the game.\u201cI think we played really well, we were right in it until the last five minutes,\u201d said Massey- Vanier coach Henry Blumenfeld.ATR Massey- Vanier\u2019 s Jessica : Bromby b blew by Galt\u2019s Caroline D Desautels for two of her 12 points in the ETIAC senior girls\u2019 final.The Vikings won the game 52-41.Pipers seek 500th win this weekend ACARI OUT a an el \u201cI think we just ran out of gas.I was real proud of the effort.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t think I could have asked anymore of these guys,\u201d he added.Blumenfeld only had six players at his disposal for Wednesday\u2019s playoffs.McKERCHER MeKercher finished the game with 18 points, 14 in the second half.He took over in the fourth quarter and put the game out of reach.\u201cIn the fourth Jono (McKer- cher) hit a layup, got a steal and then hit a long three-pointer.I think that killed them,\u201d Galt coach Tristan Kimmerly said, adding praise for the Vikings\u2019 effort.Brent Allanson, Adam Smith and Steve Janidlo scored 12 points each for Galt.Smith also grabbed eight rebounds.Kimmerly said Matt Kingsley and Wesley Bélanger also played key roles in the Galt victory.\u201cThey played good solid defence and that sparked us in the second half.They also kept us in the first half when McKercher was on the bench,\u201d he said.Oliver Blampin and Paul Rogerson led the Vikings with 12 points each.Massey-Vanier didn\u2019t have to wait long to get its revenge.The Vikings\u2019 senior girls\u2019 team beat Galt 52-41 in the senior girls\u2019 championship game.The Pipers actually led 14-6 after the first quarter, but Massey-Vanier responded to score 15 straight points to make it 21-14 in their favor.PATIENCE \u201cI just told the team to be patient and look for the good shot,\u201d Massey-Vanier coach Bob Kay said.\u201cI knew if we did that we would whittle away the lead.\u201d The Vikings led 27-20 at halftime, but Jennifer MacAulay tried to lead a second-half comeback by Galt.MacAulay finished with 25 points, 18 in the second half.Kay gave credit to Jessica Bromby for making a key basket late in the third quarter.MacAulay hit a three-pointer to cut Massey-Vanier\u2019s lead to four at one point, but Bromby marched up the floor and replied with a three-pointer.Bromby finished the game with 12 points.Melissa Hunter led the team with 14 and Melanie Wilson chipped in 11 points.\u201cMy team plays very well as a group,\u201d Kay said.\u201cEverybody shares in the glory and that\u2019s the reason for our victory today.\u201d Massey-Vanier looks very strong heading into the MacLeod provincial tournament March 10-12.Wilson, Bromby and Hunter played important roles last season as the Vikings won the consolation championship at the MacLeod tournament.Kay said the trio are even better with a year\u2019s experience behind them.He also said his bench is much stronger than last year.\u201cAs a coach I can\u2019t be any happier than with what I've got, they're a together group and they work really hard,\u201d Kay added.JUNIOR GIRLS The Richmond Raiders were by far the best team amongst the junior girls all season long.They proved it on Wednesday, blowing out Massey-Vanier in the junior girls\u2019 championship game.Julie Desharnais led the way with 18 points as Richmond won the game 47-20.Jennifer Patrick pitched in 12 points for the Raiders.Desharnais scored 12 of her points in the first half to help give Richmond a 36-10 halftime lead.Michelle Flynn had 12 of Massey-Vanier\u2019s 20 points.Alexander Galt picked up its first title of the day with a 64-50 victory against Massey-Vanier in the junior boys\u2019 final.Jayson Crook scored 18 points and Frank Desrosiers had 16 to lead the Pipers, who led 35-30 at halftime.Josh Hunter scored 14 points to lead the Vikings.Ryan Rose had 12 and Stuart MacDonald chipped in 10 points.BANTAMS Galt\u2019s bantam girls\u2019 team exploded for 28 points in the.second half of the bantam girls\u2019 final en route to a 44-34 victory.Julie Parker scored 15 points in the half as the Pipers broke a 16-16 halftime tie with Massey- Vanier to win the title.Parker finished with 23 points Massey-Vanier\u2019s Tim Campbell was instrumental in the Vikings\u2019 semifinal victory, but his nine points in the final wasn\u2019t enough to beat Galt.The Pipers went on to win the ETIAC senior boys\u2019 championship.in the game.Katie Hodge added seven for

championships to make it 13 straight wins this season, and the 499th in their existence.\u201cThe best team ability-wise won,\u201d said Galt head coach Brian Heath.\u201cThat doesn\u2019t always happen in a one-game final, and that's what made today\u2019s game so exciting.\u201d And exciting it was, right up to the last two minutes when Galt took a three-goal lead for the second time in the game to make the final 5-2 over the Massey-Vanier Vikings squad.No goals were scored in the first period, but offences and defences for both teams were working hard.Even though Galt controlled the puck for most of the period, the Vikings outshot the Pipers 8-5.The second period opened slowly with 5:46 elapsing before Galt\u2019s scoring machine came alive.Caley Mouland scored when Frantisek Kovac shoveled the puck to him in front of the net.Only 1:52 later Piper Joel Barter scored his first of the game.The final goal of the period, and ST.LOUIS (AP) \u2014 Greg Gilbert scored his second goal of the game with 1:24 remaining to snap a tie and give the St.Louis Blues a 4-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks on Wednesday night.Ian Laperriere scored the other two Blues goals and had an assist, while Patrice Tardif, a former Champlain student, also assisted on all four St.Louis goals.Leading 3-0 into the third period, St.Louis appeared to have the game well in hand, but Pat Falloon broke the shutout Galt\u2019s third, came with 1:21 remaining when Nelson Conn blew one past the Massey-Vanier goalie James Pagé.FOUGHT BACK With a three point lead the Galt team took no chances in the third period continuing to play hard, But with nothing to lose and everything to gain the Vikings quickly started an offensive of their own.Massey-Vanier player Chris Sanchagrin scored a fast goal 22 seconds into the final period making the score 3-1, where it would stay for 13 minutes.With only 1:38 left in the game the Viking team pulled within one goal as Brennan Boomhower took advantage of an extra man on the power-play to score.After the whistle for the goal had blown a scuffle broke out behind the Galt net and four offsetting minors were given to the two teams.With 48 seconds on the clock Barter scored his second of the night for the Pipers to put the game out of reach for the Vikings.Added security was provided for Galt when scoring leader Ryan Frappied put one in on the when he scored at 8:09 of the third period.Tom Pederson and Sandis Ozolinsh then scored with less than three minutes remaining to tie the game at 3-3.Laperriere had his fifth multiple-point game of the season
