health services would give preferential treatment to paying patients, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said Thursday.Private health care would contravene the Canada Health Act, Chrétien said during an interview with CFRN-TV.\u201cIt\u2019s not allowed under the act.The act is very clear on that, that it cannot be a two-tier system,\u201d the prime minister said.Chrétien appeared to skirt Alberta\u2019s call for Ottawa to define a list of essential services that must be covered under the health act.It\u2019s the provinces\u2019 job to provide health care and Ottawa\u2019s job to ensure they're adhering to the five principles of medicare, Chrétien said.\u201cAs we do not do the administration, it\u2019s up to the provinces to advance a proposition and if it is acceptable or not acceptable we will tell them.\u201d Health care was the hot topic during the prime minister\u2019s two- day visit to Alberta where the government has been trying to restructure the system to save money.Premier Ralph Klein has suggested some non-essential services could be turned over to private hospitals.He also has said he sees nothing wrong with patients paying for essential services in private facilities.Klein said during a speech in Calgary earlier Thursday that Alberta was committed to the principles of medicare set out in the national health act.Chrétien made clear Ottawa will not allow Alberta or any other province to veer too much from the status quo.\u201cHe (Klein) said apparently in his speech today that the five conditions of the national health act are acceptable to him, that he\u2019s not asking us to amend it.so that\u2019s great for me.\u201d The five principles cited in the act are universality, accessibility, comprehensiveness, portabi- Bad summer ahead for skin cancer By Dennis Bueckert \u201c OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Near-record ozone thinning is being forecast for this summer, creating an increased risk of skin cancer, cataracts, and other health effects.Ultraviolet radiation levels across Canada will be six to 10 per cent higher than normal across the country, federal scientists predict.That means a person could get sunburned up to 10 per cent faster than they would have before - 1980 in similar weather conditions.The risk of more serious health effects can\u2019t be quantified but it will increase.UV radiation is always strongest in Canada from May to August when the sun is high in the sky.But the risks this season will be greater due to near-record thinning of the ozone layer, says a forecast issued Thursday.It predicts ozone levels will average between five and nine per cent below normal, with normal being the long-term average before 1980.For every one-per-cent decline in the ozone layer there is a 1.2 per cent increase in UV radiation, said Jim Kerr of the Atmospheric Environment Service.The ozone layer, a stratospheric band of gases which absorbs UV radiation, is being depleted by chemicals such as CFCs.As the layer thins it allows more radiation to reach Earth, increa- - Credit Margins « Term Loans - Government Guaranteed Loans - Savings Account + Term Deposit - Desjardins RRSPs sing the risk of skin cancer and cataracts.The grim federal assessment is consistent with observationsin Europe, where scientists have reported massive ozone loss over the Arctic this spring \u2014 as much as 50 per cent.- \u201cThese observations show an ozone reduction that is persistent and widespread throughout the Arctic vortex,\u201d says a report from the European Ozone Research Co-ordinating Unit, based at Cambridge, UK.The Arctic vortex is a body of extremely cold air surrounded by strong winds.Cold temperatures favor the chemical reactions that destroy ozone, which is why ozone depletion occurs first

depleting compounds, ozone thinning is expected to increase in coming years as chemicals already released drift up to the stratosphere.People are advised to avoid prolonged exposure to the sun,

chanting : Turbot deal close?U.K.fishermen back Canada\u2019s fight By Helen Branswell PLYMOUTH, England (CP) \u2014 Fishermen from the Cornish and Devonshire coast urged Canada Thursday to continue its fight against Spanish overfishing.They burned a European Union flag \u2014 while holding a Maple Leaf aloft \u2014 as they voiced support for Canada in the turbot war and urged Britain to withdraw from the EU\u2019s common fisheries policy.\u201cWe've got to stop the rape of the seas of Europe and of the world by the Spanish,\u201d said Bill Hocking, chairman of the Fishermen\u2019s Protection Association from Looe, a nearby fishing village.A number in the crowd of about 200 sported T-shirts with the Canadian flag on the front and Stop The Plundering Spaniards on the back.Speakers commended the Canadian government for its strong stance against Spanish fishermen, whom they accused of \u201chovering\u201d fish stocks to the brink of extinction.And they condemned the British government for not pulling out of the common fisheries policy, which is an underlying feature of European union.Under the policy, fish stocks in the waters off Europe are considered a common resource and are divided up accordingly.British fishermen contend it limits them to a minority share of the quotas allocated for the waters off the United Kingdom.\u201cWe are totally disillusioned with the common fisheries policy and we want nothing more to do with it,\u201d said Sheryll Murray, an organizer of a campaign called Save Britain's Fish.The campaign, backed by most British fishermen, is aimed at pressing the government to declare a 200-nautical-mile limit and seizing control of fish preservation.European Union negotiators Enquire today at the following Caisses Populaires: CAISSE POPULAIRE DE LENNOXVILLE 564-5128 826-3745 mme CAISSE POPULAIRE DE RICHMOND in Brussels said Thursday Spain is lowering its demands for stocks of turbot, making room for a deal with Canada that could resolve the bitter fish war by the end of the week.Both sides indicated that selling a draft agreement to Madrid is the main obstacle.Spain scuttled an earlier tentative settlement because it was not given rights to enough of the dwindling turbot catch in the northwestern Atlantic off Newfoundland.But EU officials said Spain has come down from its earlier insistence that EU boats get half of a 27,000-tonne catch limit on turbot set by the Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organization for all countries fishing the NAFO-controlled waters.They said Spain now is demanding 12,000 tonnes, down from the 13,500 tonnes it had sought for the EU.EU sources, who demanded anonymity, said Jacques Roy, Canadian ambassador to the EU, is seeking instructions from Ottawa on whether to approve the Spanish request.The last share-out approved by Ottawa gave the EU and Canada each 10,000 tonnes, leaving the rest for their NAFO partners.The EU has been at loggerheads with Canada since February, when the two clashed over how to share the turbot quota.The dispute intensified in March, first when Ottawa adop- - ted a moratorium on halibut fishing that extended into international waters and again when Canadian gunboats fired across the bows of the Spanish trawler Estai before arresting it.Ambassadors from the 15 EU countries were scheduled to meet early today.Their governments must approve any deal concluded by the EU\u2019s

for possible involvement in the nerve-gas attack on the subways March 20 that killed 11 people and made more than 5,000 ill.Police have confiscated massive amounts of documents and \u2018The boss was

threw a wide dragnet around Japan to find the cult\u2019s leaders.At least 20,000 officers fanned out to search cars at roadblocks, while the coast guard checked boats leaving the country.Police in Tokyo went on \u201cemergency alert\u201d over fears cult followers might launch an attack this weekend.In a book released last month, cult leader Shoko Asahara predicted a disaster in Tokyo this weekend.Police patrolled the city\u2019s most crowded neighborhoods and its government district Thursday in case cult members interpreted the prediction as a sign to do damage.Police sources said sect followers have telephoned their families and told them to be careful in the next few days, and there are rumors in the sect that sarin \u2014 the nerve gas used in the subways \u2014 may be scatteredin a Tokyo nightclub district, the Kyodo News Service reported.Police have arrested more than 70 cult members on a variety of pretexts since the March 20 subway attack that killed 11 people, sickened 5,500 and stunned a nation that had thought itself free from terrorism.Now, however, police apparently believe they have enough evidence to arrest most of the top figures of the Aum Shinri Kyo, or Supreme Truth, sect.Across the country, police mobilized about 20,000 officers at 1,000 checkpoints, said Yomiuri, Japan\u2019s highest circulation daily.Kyodo put the number of police at

said.Wages for staff employees already at the top of their salary scale have been frozen since last year.The administration is extending that freeze to all staff as of July 1, according to Sandra

for the profs, faculty members who are not already at the top of their salary scale won\u2019t face a wage freeze this year, Scott said.Salaries for professors at the top of their pay scale were

\u2018We\u2019re about $1000 Hospital merger opponents gain support with petition By Maurice Crossfield SHERBROOKE \u2014 Despite ongoing plans to turn the Sherbrooke Hospital into a chronic care facility, the Concerned Citizens Group is continuing its campaign to keep things as they are.The group has been collecting signatures on a petition calling for a halt to the merger between Sherbrooke Hospital and the Youville Hospital.The merger would see the two institutions run under a single administration, concentrating on long-term and geriatric care.Terry Deacon.You don\u2019t need all of these highly paid bureaucrats.\u2019 Terry Deacon said 12,000 signatures have been collected so far.At the end of April the group plans to hand the petition to provincial health minister Jean Rochon.If Rochon sides with them, Deacon said, maybe the decision to merge can be reversed.\u201cMost of the signatures have been collected in the periphery of Sherbrooke,\u201d Deacon said.\u201cBut we've also had a lot of response from outlying areas like Cooks- hire, Sawyerville and Bury.\u201d Deacon said the citizns group has the support of several regional MNAs.St-Frangois MNA Monique Gagnon-Tremblay and Orford MINA Robert Benoit have openly supported the group\u2019s attempt to maintain services at the Sherbrooke Hospital.But Deacon says the group isn\u2019t just trying to hang onto the hospital for sentimental reasons.FUTURE CARE \u201cWe are not just a bunch of weepies who are crying for a hospital,\u201d she said.\u201cWe understand the need for budget cuts.But we are very concerned for the quality of medical care down the line.\u201d On April 3 the Sherbrooke Hospital signed the protocol of agreement that officially began the process of merging the two hospitals.Many of the board members agreed with the move, saying there was no other choice.Deacon said the Sherbrooke Hospital has proven to be an efficiently run institution.Services are being cut now to make up for bad management elsewhere, she charged.\u201cWe think there are alternatives,\u201d Deacon said.\u201cBut they haven't really looked for those alternatives.In our opinion these people have let the anglophone community down very badly.\u201d Deacon suggested that if the provincial government really wants to cut costs, it could start by looking at the province's bloated network of 18 regional health boards.\u201cYou don\u2019t need all of these highly paid bureaucrats,\u201d she said.The group is also concerned about the recent decision to close the emergency room overnight due to a shortage of doctors.Deacon said the shortasge may have something to do with doctors not wanting to come to a hospital facing such an uncertain future.COMPROMISE Deacon would like to see the hospital maintajn some: of its - short-term care.while still puat-i ting most of the effort into long- term treatment.\u201cWhat we would hope to keep active would be about 40 beds for short-term treatment,\u201d she said.The Sherbrooke Hospital currently has about 120 beds to handle acute care cases.This weekend Deacon and other concerned citizens will be taking their petition

By Rita Legault \u2018SHERBROOKE \u2014 Used tires mined from scrap yards throughout the province are being turned into black gold for sompe enterprising Quebec businessmen who are exporting hun- dréds of thousands of them to Caribbean countries each year.But Canadian rubber manufacturers have moral questions abut selling tires that may not meet domestic safety standards to Third World countries.Purchased from scrap yards at bargain prices, used tires are being gathered and sold to Caribbean countries where they bring a premium price.Some 15,000 tires burned in an Eastern Townships warehouse earlier this week were destined for the used-car parts market in Haiti, according to warehouse owner Alain Duha- me] of St-Denis de Brompton.Duhamel estimates the loss of the tires, which took him seven or eight months to collect, cost him about $200,000.The corrugated steel warehouse that melted into a complete loss was worth another $200,000, but it was insured.NEW BUSINESS Duhamel is the owner and operator of Service Sanitaire ADM, a company he originally set up to recycle cardboard from Hyundai's auto plant in Bro- mont.When Hyundai shut the plant in September 1993, Duha- mel switched to the lucrative used-tire business.Duhamel, who said he has some competitors in the Montreal area, sells the tires in bulk to Haitian entrepreneurs.Tires worth little or nothing on the Quebec market retail for about $50 U.S.in Haiti, depending on the quality, he said.\u201cWe Canadians are big wasters,\u201d he said.\u201cOver there, they're too poor.They use everything 100 per cent.\u201d Duhamel said scrap yards don\u2019t exist in Haiti, where car parts are used till they are completely worn out and where all other materials are salvaged.When tires are completely bald Murder trial underway : GRANBY (SM) \u2014 The second degree murder trial of Cedric Fuller, charged in the 1992 robbery and shooting death of sto- reawner Rémi Lariviére, opened in Granby this week.:.Fuller is the third man to stand trial for the 1992 murder df the Cowansville man.Lariviè- re, 35, died of gunshot wounds dustained during the Dec.22, 1992 robbery at his North Street dépanneur.An eight-man, four-women { jury has been selected to decide the case, presided over by Justice Paul-Marcel Bellavance.Fuller's co-accused, Christopher Bates and Lynwood Yates, have already been convicted in separate trials for their roles in the robbery and murder.Bates is appealing the conviction.Crown prosecutor Henry Kei- serlingk is presenting the case for the crown while Montreal lawyer Theresa Kennedy is representing Fuller.The trial is expected to last 10 weeks.or broken, entrepreneurs cut them up to make rubber sandals.Duhamel said ++-i unlike new tires, which carry stiff tariffs and taxes, used tires enter the country virtually duty free.That makes them even more affordable to Haitians \u2014 the poorest people in the Western Hemisphere.NO INSPECTIONS And, Duhamel admits, Haiti doesn\u2019t have the same safety standard for vehicles and car parts, making used Canadian parts an easy sell.Duhamel said he even tried to get the Goodyear tire plant in Valleyfield to supply him with defects, which the company automatically junks.\u201cIf it isn\u2019t A-1, they send it to the dump.\u201d Goodyear spokesman Dave Morgan, who's in charge of environmental corapliance for Goodyear Canada, said most of those tires are rejected because they don\u2019t meet Transport Canada safety standards.Morgan, who's also chairman of the Rubber Association of Canada\u2019s task

the reasons we don\u2019t support that is that we think it's morally questionable,\u201d said Morgan.\u201cWhat you are saying when you export used tires to Third World countries is that a tire that is no longer acceptable for use on our roads is acceptable for other people.\u201d QUESTION OF MORALS While Morgan said tire sales keep pogie dismissed by the judge.Dismissal of prospective candidates

Canada, it shouldn\u2019t go on the road,\u201d he said.Morgan said many of the tires sold to the Caribbean could not meet safety standards here in Canada.He said if they did, they could easily be sold here.\u201cThere\u2019s a market for used tires here,\u201d he said.\u201cIf theyre exporting them, what\u2019s going on?\u201d Figures from Statistics Canada\u2019s Exports and Imports report show that 228,629 used tires were sent to countries other than the U.S.between January and November last year, for a total value of $790,000.UNDERESTIMATED But Morgan said those figures can\u2019t possibly reflect the real numbers of tires being sent to the Caribbean.\u201cI've heard stories of container loads of tires going down there,\u201d he said.StatsCan puts the number of used tires exported to countries other than the U.S.last November at 13,655 \u2014 that\u2019s less than the number of tires Duhamel alone was planning to sell to Haiti in a single shipment, before this week\u2019s fire.Duhamel, who leaves for Haiti on Monday to inform his partners that he won\u2019t be able to fill his next shipment, said the fire has changed the way he intends to do business in the future.Now, rather than stockpiling used tires for months, Duhamel plans to put them in containers directly and ship them as soon as they're filled.According to the environmental watchdog Recycle Quebec, Quebecers produce between six and seven million used tires each year.About 3.5 million of them end up in dumps, another 2 million are stored, and the rest are used as fuel in cement plants or are recycled for various uses, from farm animal mats to paving materials. - 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, April 14, 1995 the The Voice of the Fastern Townships since 1897 Editorial What is best for Canadians The mighty American gun lobby is threatening Canada with a tourism boycott if the government goes ahead with planned firearms controls.The 3.5-million member National Rifle Association and hunters groups are warning Canadian politicians that if they go ahead with a new law that requires registration of all firearms, there will be \u201can overwhelming negative reaction\u201d which could \u201cseriously erode\u201d tourism revenues.Powerful U.S.gun lobbyists, who have been encouraged by their much weaker Canadian cousins to throw their considerable weight around, say they are outraged at a .iew law requiring all guns to be registered.Reforms would also ban most rifles and handguns not used for hunting or sport and impose longer jail sentences for crimes in which guns are used.Claiming that U.S.hunters and anglers spend about $440 million Canadian a year in Canada, fish and game clubs are threatening to ask their members to boycott Canada if the legislation goes through.Some have already called for a boycott just because we are considering such outrageously restrictive legislation.Canadian gun control laws don\u2019t really affect a few thousand American hunters who must already register their fireams with custom authorities when they enter our country.However they do affect millions of Canadians who look to the crime- ridden, violent south with apprehension and want to protect their families and communities from the inherent risks of too many gun-toting citizens.Despite what our gun-loving U.S.neighbors think, firearm control laws are popular with the majority of Canadians, shocked and frightened by violent inci- , dents such as the massacre of 14 women at Ecole Polytechnique a few years ago.And even if Americans use their outdated Constitution to protect their right to bear arms, Canadians have the right to decide how they want to govern their own country without riddiculous threats from the south.So Americans hunters no longer want to load up their pickups, fill their gun racks and come up and kill our animals.No great loss.Other American tourists \u2014 who spend billions more than they do \u2014 will continue to come and admire our scenic country, especially since their powerful dollar goes a whole lot further these days.Canadians politicians owe it to their constituents to consider their safety and their concerns when voting on gun legislation.They must ignore these idle threats from the south and base their all- ¥ important vote on what is best for Canadians \u2014 not a group of loud-mouthed tourists who will continue to plunder the Canadian wilds despite calls for a boycott and no matter what the outcome of the .gun-control debate.RITA LEGAULT FEDERAL HEALTH COVERAGE.NY NN CONN > = ss i » kd 23 7a aN

health care future By Sandra Cordon The Canadian Press While no one knows just what Canada\u2019s health care system will look like in a few years, everyone agrees it will have a new face.Not just a few nips and tucks, an entire makeover is under way.Spending has been cut dramatically.Hospitals are closing.Private clinics are springing up.Many welcome the changes as a healthy evolution.Others fear the country will end up looking like a patchwork quilt.\u201cI do believe every province will have, when the smoke clears off by the end of 1995, instituted some very major reforms in the way it finances and funds its health care system,\u201d says Richard Plain, a health care economist at the University of Alberta.SMALL CHANGES \u201cBut I don\u2019t think it means the nation as a whole is about to significantly depart in any way, shape or form from (the Canada Health Act).\u201d Not everyone is so confident.Ottawa is to cut funding to provinces for health, welfare and education beginning in 1996-97.The non-profit Caledon Institute of Social Policy warns that will mean the end of medicare because Ottawa will lose its financial clout to enforce the Health Act.The government of Jean Chretien has said Ottawa will make sure the provinces respect the five principles of medicare: that it be universal, portable, comprehensive, publicly funded and publicly administered.Many, from academics to politicians, argue the system can provide as good or better service by spending less in a smarter way.Earlier this year, a three-year study by the former Economic Council of Canada determined the health bill could be chopped more than $7 billion a year without hurting care.ALTERNATIVES Michael Rachlis, a Toronto doctor and health policy consultant, said that would be plausible if there were alternative systems.\u201cWithin months, if you put the proper programs in the community, you can in fact naturally reduce the need for institutional services.\u201d Provinces like Saskatchewan have closed dozens of hospitals and are applying the savings to regional health boards aimed at delivering services closer to home.Others, including Ontario and Nova Scotia, are decreasing medical procedures they'll pay for.Alberta has pushed further: permitting private clinics to charge \u201c- facility fees\u201d over and above what government pays.Ottawa has given the province until October to stop.But Premier Ralph Klein's government, on track to reduce health care spending from $4.2 billion in 1992-93 to $3.4 billion by 1996-97, has not responded.ffi-s Albertans feel pinch of cost-cutting By Terry Gilbert Calgary Herald CALGARY (CP) \u2014 Not many years ago, women would be taken into operating rooms to have a cancerous breast removed and then settle in for several days of recuperation in hospital.Not any longer.In Alberta today, such patients are often sent home to the care of family and friends soon after the operation with a tube draining post-operative fluid and an intravenous line still plugged into their arms.\u201cThere are increased expectations on clients and family members,\u201d says Dr.Brent Friesen, Calgary\u2019s medical officer of health.\u201c- Because of restructuring we're having to say to them and family members: \u2018Listen, you really need to assume responsibility for this care.\u201d DAY SURGERY Not many years ago, gall bladder removal involved a hospital stay of several days, as did mastectomies and numerous other medical procedures.Today, gall bladder removal is often day surgery and mastectomy patients frequently head home within 24 hours.Ten years ago, surgeons performing mastectomies usually removed the underlying muscle and lymph nodes.\u201cIt was pretty dramatic surgery and those people did need to remain in hospital,\u201d says Friesen.Now much less extensive surgery, in which a section of the breast is removed, is much more common.Carol Easton, director of surgical nursing at Calgary General Hospital, says the list of day surgery procedures \u201cgrows every year and it will continue to grow.\u201d However, she stresses: \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how much it costs, nothing is going to be moved to day surgery if it\u2019s not safe.\u201d Friesen says volunteers and employers will have to pitch in to pick up where organized medicine leaves off.Regional By Sandra Cordon The Canadian Press Saskatchewan \u2014 the birthplace of medicare \u2014 is once again in the spotlight in the search for innovative ways to deliver health care.In Prince Albert, Stan Rice believes his regional health board can serve as a pretty good example.Not that it came easy.There were heated arguments at cold winter meetings, angry letters to the editor, even a protest march down Main Street.Egos were bruised when local boards were disbanded and responsibilites shifted from one hospital to another.But now the province's first regional health board offers better service for less money.And that, says Rice, is winning supporters.That means relatives will be expected to care for a patient fresh out of surgery and individuals with chronic or disabling illnesses will be expected to learn how to manage their own conditions.In addition, employers will have to develop policies allowing workers time off to care for sick family members.\u201cThere are tradeoffs in this,\u2019 said Friesen.\u201cIf you're not funding these services through the tax system, then you've got to make sure the other mechanisms in your society are supportive of them.\u201d It\u2019s still unclear whether Alber- tans realize they're being asked to assume responsibility for a greater role in health care.Chris Armstrong-Esther, a professor in the University of Leth- bridge faculty of nursing, says the government has been quiet about its plans to shift the burden of care.\u201cI think they're too frightened to tell people it\u2019s coming,\u201d says Armstrong-Esther.\u201cA lot of government policy is predicated on the assumption the family will be there to provide the care.\u201cThat\u2019s a very, very false assumption.\u201d board trims fat Ten smaller boards \u2014 including three ambulance services \u2014 have been rolled into one.MORE HOME CARE By boosting home care, streamlining services and slashing bureaucracy, the board has cut $1.5 million from a $45-million budget.That, in itself, is not a lot of money in the health care system.But nursing home waiting lists have been dramatically shortened and hospitals are more efficient.And few jobs have been lost.\u201cPeople do perceive the health board has saved money, the quality of care has not deteriorated and the community side of things has increased considerably,\u201d says Rice.Regional health boards are springing up across Canada as Medicare pioneer optimistic By Sandra Cordon The Canadian Press Huge ruptures.Enlarged thyroids.Life-threatening conditions ignored for years.For a decade, Dr.Orville Hjertaas was swamped with cases of horrible neglect \u2014 conditions the victims could not afford to have treated before the advent of medicare in Saskatchewan.The Prince Albert doctor can\u2019t even estimate how many died because they couldn't afford treatment.\u201cFor the first 10 years after medicare came in (in 1962), I was just busy all the time doing surgical procedures that had been neglected and put off .because they would not go to the doctor and ask for charity.\u201cThere is no question many died.There were so many people who were turned away because they had no money.\u201cThey just bloody well went without.\u201d The current debate over the future of medicare is tame compared with the birthing pains it suffered three decades ago.Hjertaas was an attending physician when universal health care first made its way into Canada via Saskatchewan \u2014 a have-not province with a small and dispersed group of people who looked out for each other.Tommy Douglas, elected as premier in 1960 on a promise to establish medicare, used to tell how he became convinced Canada needed health insurance after he nearly lost a leg to a childhood disease.He was saved from amputation when a skilled teaching doctor took his case for free.And so medicare was born, although the birth was far from easy.There were insults, propaganda and complaints of communism.Two out of every three doctors joined a three-week strike.By the end of the decade, the whole country had medicare \u2014 1nodelled on the Saskatchewan plan.Hard feelings lingered.\u201cIt was a very tough time for me and a very tough time for my kids.They were called communists and they père mistreated by a lot of* their colleagues in school.\u201d governments look for ways to stretch health care dollars.Quebec pioneered the concept, which has been endorsed by academics and health care workers tired of the waste caused by duplicating services and management.Known in some provinces as \u201csu- perboards,\u201d these regional bodies pull together various smaller boards.The intent is to co-ordinate services better, reduce bureaucracy and improve both efficiency and the bottom line.POOL RESOURCES Michael Rachlis, a Toronto family doctor and author, says regional boards can be a good way to pool limited resources and deliver services locally.It won\u2019t work if one type of bureaucracy is simply being substituted for another.But Prince Albert seems to have avoided that trap.Alberta is now organizing its boards, and health economist Malcolm Brown of Calgary worries bidding wars between hospitals and private clinics could destroy the public system.\u201cThis is not a problem if all the funding comes from the same source,\u201d says Brown.\u201cBut if regional health authorities end up contracting out to a private clinic that charges user fees .that could be the end of the public system.\u201d Gordon Turtle of Alberta Health can foresee clinics taking over procedures they can offer more cheaply than a hospital.\u201cThere\u2019s no more expensive way of providing a service than having it in a hospital,\u201d Turtle says.\u201cIf there are more cost-efficient ways to doing something, regional authorities will obviously explore those.\u201d Friends leave him lying there Egg-throwing youth Killed by woman who likes clean doors ELKINS PARK, Pa.(AP) \u2014 {17-year-old high school track star who went on an egg- throwing spree with his friends after a late night basketball game was shot and killed by a woman whose door had been pel- :ted, authorities said Thursday.Anjanette Williamson was standing on the front steps of her townhouse Wednesday shortly before midnight when Desmond Hayes threw an egg at her.She pulled a semiautomatic gun from her bathrobe and fired once, killing Hayes as he ran, police said.Williamson, 27, was charged \u2018with third-degree murder, voluntary and involuntary Don\u2019t get sick manslaughter and other oifen- ces.She was arraigned Thursday and ordered jailed pending a bail hearing.If convicted of murder, Williamson, who has a three-month- old child, faces a 10- to 20-year prison sentence.The slaying occurred Wednesday a few minutes before midnight when Hayes and three friends, after attending a basketball game in nearby Consho- hocken, Pa., decided it would be fun to throw eggs at people, according to an affidavit filed by Sgt.Thomas Dunleavy of the Cheltenham Township Police.They drove into the Lynne- near this place wood Gardens complex, a low- income housing area in suburban Philadelphia, and saw Williamson standing on her steps.\u201cHayes got out of the car and threw eggs at the girl,\u201d the affidavit said.The friends left to buy another two-dozen eggs, then returned to the complex.Hayes got out of the car with an egg, and seconds later there was a gunshot and Hayes went down, police said.Hayes was a track star at Northeast High School who also played basketball and football.He had planned to go to college.The other youths drove off, leaving Hayes in the street in a pool of blood.The RECORD\u2014Friday, April 14, 1995\u20145 Behind the news Dumped in pulp vat Six held for killing co-worker GREEN BAY, Wis.(Reuter) \u2014 Six men were charged Thursday with killing a co-worker at a paper mill by tossing him into a pulp vat, allegedly because he told police one of the men planned to steal an extension cord.The six, all charged with being parties to first-degree intentional homicide, were ordered held on $300,000 bond each in the Brown County Jail following a court appearance at which preliminary hearings were set for later in the month.The body of Thomas Monfils was found 2% years ago in a deep, pulp-filled vat at a James River Corp.mill.Police said he had been severely beaten but was still alive when he was tossed into the mush with a weight tied around his neck.The six, who were arrested Wednesday, were Keith Kustra, Rey Moore, Mike Piaskowski, Mike Hirn, Michael Johnson and Dale Basten.Investigators said Monfils had called police saying Kustra planned to steal an extension cord from the plant.Kustra allegedly found out about the call, got a copy of the tape and confronted Monfils along with the others.In addition, two other men, one president of the United Paper Workers International Union local at the mill, were named in lesser misdemeanor charges related to the case and were released on bond.The victim\u2019s widow had earlier filed a civil damage suit against the same eight men charging that they were responsible for the slaying.Mistake-prone Florida hospital stripped of accreditation TAMPA, Fla.(AP) \u2014 A hospital where a man lost the wrong leg and another patient was mistakenly removed from a

Navy veteran, civilian benefits The Civilian War Pensions and Allowances Act has been amended to add a new category of persons referred to as Merchant Navy veterans and the name of the Act has been changed to the Merchant Navy Veteran and Civilian War-related Benefits Act.Wartime merchant mariners who qualify as Merchant Navy Veterans will have their high- seas service equated with military service in wartime.Those who may qualify include: @ Persons of any nationality who served during the First or Second World War on high-seas voyages on registered Canadian ships (including Newfoundland ships); @® Canadian nationals who served during the First or Second World War on high-seas voyages on registered Allied ships; @® Persons of any nationality who served during the Korean War on

getting 95 per cent of the torque.But when it detects wheel slippage, the system's viscous coupling can transfer as much as 95 per cent back to the rear wheels if they have the best grip.The system hedges its bets even further with electronic traction control for the front wheels and a locking rear differential.All of this, Volvo says, will be invisible to the driver, engaging automatically when road conditions deteriorate.Volvo showed its system on one of its 225-horsepower 850 T-5 station wagons at the recent Geneva Auto Show.But the Swedish carmaker won't say which models will offer all-wheel drive in the 1996 model year.Expect it to show up on the top-dollar cars, however.E DANC LENNOXVILLE RIFLE CLUB 22 Beattie Street Saturday, April 15 Old time music by the *Hoedowners\"

men want to reach a higher level of achievement.But it's damn near impossible to play a lovely tune on an organ that doesn't work.Tell your male readers there are many things an impotent male can do.First, he should see a good urologist.If his trouble is psychological, he will be referred to a sex therapist.If the problem is physical, there are several alternatives.One is a penile implant that works for some but is very expensive.There are also injections, but I don't know too many guys who would choose to be stabbed in that rather delicate place.Then there's the vacuum pump, which is quite inexpensive and highly effective.(Medicare will pay most of it.)

will have to prove it can stick to budget restraint during the next recession before Moody's Investors Service restores the country\u2019s Triple A credit rating.Moody\u2019s Investors Service cut Canada\u2019s rating a notch to AAl on Wednesday and it will take years to get it back, says Vincent Truglia, a vice-president and senior analyst with Moody's Investors Services in New York.\u201cIt would take a number of years before we would get a good idea of how this or future governments react to any slowdowns in economic activity which are bound to occur,\u201d Truglia said in an interview Thursday.He said cutting spending on welfare or unemployment insurance is a lot easier when the economy is still growing strongly as it is now.\u201cWhen you begin to make major changes in the social safety net those changes produce a great deal of pain,\u201d he said.\u201cAnd in the Canadian case, a lot of those changes have barely just begun.\u201d Truglia said Moody's downgraded Canada\u2019s rating mainly because it is worried that the next recession could upset plans to balance the books.\u201cThere are a lot of pressures on government at that time and it is very difficult to stay the course.\u201d He expects that a recession is likely in the next two to five years.Canada now has the second worst credit rating among the Leveraged buyouts rare Cash 1s king in recent takeovers By

of Wood Gundy.\u201cIt\u2019s also making the acquisitions themselves look more attractive, by improving balance sheets and earnings.\u201d The pace has been frenzied, with Canadian businesses announcing $10.2 billion in mergers and takeovers in the first three months of 1995.But don\u2019t reach for the Rolaids.It's not quite the same as last time around.The greedy 1980s have given way to the prudish 1990s \u2014 even in corporate boardrooms.The words \u201cleveraged buyout,\u201d once the mäntra of Bay Street, are rarely even murmured anymore.The new buzzword is \u201cstrategic acquisition,\u201d which signals a company is cautiously adding to existing strengths, said Patricia Kelly, an analyst with merchant bankers Crosbie and Company Inc.\u201cThe majority of the acquisitions today are building on core businesses,\u201d nies are going out and increasing their product range or market she said.\u201cCompa- penetration by making the strategic

the early 1990s.Olympia and York and Cam- peau Corp.are two of Canada\u2019s most infamous corporate casualties.\u201cBanks are expecting that companies come into a deal with more cash on hand,\u201d said Kelly.\u201cThey're not willing to do the kind of leveraged transactions seven top industrial countries.Only Italy has a worse rating with Moody's.The move was widely expected and the Canadian dollar rebounded after the annoucement and continued to rise on Thursday.The dollar closed trading Thursday at 72.78 cents US, up 0.21 cents from Wednesday.\u201cWe anticipate that the rally in the Canadian dollar will continue,\u201d said Reid Farrill, a foreign exchange specialist at Canadian Imperial: Bank of Commerce.\u201cWe are just going to have to wait and see,\u201d said John Whale, vice-president of money markets at Toronto Dominion Bank.But he said Canada has clearly dodged any immediate crisis because of the downgrade on bonds issued by the federal they were doing in the 1980s.\u201d Today, cash is king.Look at casino-entertainment multibillionaire Kirk Kerkorian, who teamed up with former Chrysler chairman Lee Iacocca on Wednesday to make a $22.8-billion US takeover

home run and a double as the Montreal Expos downed the Atlanta Braves 6-1 in their opening preseason baseball game on Thursday afternoon.Floyd doubled to open a three- run third inning off Braves starter Greg Maddux.After Guillermo Velasquez walked, Floyd scored on a single to left field by Rondell White.Cliff Floyd showed regular season form.Velasquez and White came home on a double from rookie infielder Mark Grudzielanek, who went two-for-four with three runs batted in.Floyd led off the fifth inning with a long home run off Steve Bedrosian.The Expos made it 5-0 when Grudzielanek singled home White.Former Expos centre fielder Marquis Grissom, who was traded to Atlanta last week for three players, flied out meekly his first two times at the plate.He then pounded a home run off Gabe White in the sixth inning.In the seventh, Expos third baseman Sean Berry walked, went to third an Yamil Benitez's single and scored on a sacrifice fly by rookie Darond Stovall.A highlight was the animated pitching of Carlos Perez, youngest of the six pitching Perez brothers.Perez got out all six batters he faced in the fourth and fifth innings.A sparse crowd of 2,395 turned out on a hot, sunny day at Municipal Stadium for the opening spring game, in which replacement umpires showed their inexperience on several calls.Stanstead\u2014BCS team visits A dozen locked out regular umpires picketed the game on the sidewalk outside the park.EXPOS NOTES Locked out umps picket preseason game WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.(CP) \u2014 A dozen placard-waving umpires at Municipal Stadium, where the Expos played the Braves, on Thursday served as a reminder that baseball's labor woes are far from over.When major league players went on strike last Aug.12, the umpires were locked out.The players came back, without a new collective bargaining agreeement, on April 1, but nothing changed for the umpires.Trade means its closing time Rojas is WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.(CP) \u2014 It's put up or shut up time for

recently that this rivalry has been extended to rugby football.Rugby was introduced at Bishop\u2019s in the spring of 1973 and at Stanstead in the spring of 1986.In both cases the question most commonly asked was, \u201cWhat on earth is English rugby?\u201d One of the difficulties of playing high school rugby in Quebec is the terribly short season.The snow lies on the ground for half the school year and ice hockey is the national game.Our season cannot begin until the fields defrost in late April.Rugby touring gives players a chance to see how the game ought to be played and to learn from people who have rugby all their lives.Most players in Quebec never see a rugby ball until they reach high school and if they begin playing at thirteen, they might have played forty games by the time they are eighteen.In an attempt to combat this lack of experience, BCS embarked on its first tour, to British Columbia, in 1983.Three years ago, in 1992, BCS and Stanstead (\u201cTwo households, both alike in dignity\u201d) put aside their traditional enmity and joined their strengths in the interests of improving the level of: rugby at both schools.The experiment was such as success, that it was repeated this March.In fact, in the season following the last tour, BCS and Stanstead were two of the best high school teams in Eastern Canada.Apart from the obvious benefits to the conditioning and skill \u201cUmpires are an operating expense and if they want the best umpiring, they should pay for the best equipment,\u201d said umpire Joe West, holding up a red Locked Out sign.The umpires want a 53 per cent pay increase over a four- year period and to have their pensions improved to $40,000 per year, West said.\u201cThey keep coming back with the same three per cent offer,\u201d West said.Replacement umpires were used as the Montreal Expos and Atlanta Braves met on the opening day of the pre-season.There were a number of terrible calls, but not much argument from the players.Expos manager Felipe Alou wants regular umpires in place ready to Wetteland to the New York Yankees last week, Rojas was given the job he\u2019s been waiting to inherit the last two seasons \u2014 closer in the Montreal bullpen.\u201cIl try to do the best I can \u2014 for Irish rugby tour of the players, the boys see the unique hospitality that rugby clubs offer to one another.The spirit that the players bring back with them from these tours is contagious and is passed on to all the other members of the club in - the seasons that follow.Of course, the headstart that such a tour gives to the season is invaluable, but the lasting memories are the sense of fellowship and international flavor of this marvelous game.Roger Marino, head of Stans: _ .tead College's rugby program and Norman Southward, coach of the junior team, joined forces with David Dutton, tour organizer and head of the BCS rugby program and NicK Clapinson, a Bishop\u2019s University student and member of Canada\u2019s development side.They took the boys on a two week rugby tour of Scotland and Ireland.The boys representing Stans- ted were George Goodsell, of Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Ken Baek, Owen Chang, Dominique Gauthier, Nathan Couture, Zeeshan Hus- sain, Chang-Fu Park, Chang-Jae Park, Kevin McCoubrey, Mathieu Plante and Jan Valen- ta.Representing BCS were Jean- Thomas Hardy, from Lennoxvil- le, Phil Bergevin, Lee Burkett, Martin Carrier, Paul Katsaba- nis, Won-Sang lee, Matthieu Moss, Christian Veillette, John Wong and Neal Young.By all reports, it was a wonderful experience.The sense of debt to the Scottish and Irish hosts will be repaid by making certain that this spirit is spread abroad and assuring them a constant welcome in Quebec.Submitted by David Dutton Noyen\u2019s Lee Costello running in 99th Boston Marathon before the season begins on April 26.\u201cI always say that anyone who walks onto a major league field should be of major league calibre,\u201d said Alou, who did not at all enjoy directing replacement players before the regulars returned.\u201cThese guys are going to have trouble.When a top pitcher makes his pitch and doesn\u2019t get the call, there's going to be trou- bie.Spring training is okay, but once you start playing for the marbles.everyone should be of major league calibre.\u201d The Expos used four pitchers \u2014 Gene Harris, Carlos Perez, Gabe White and Joey Eischen.A fifth who was scheduled to pitch, Scott Gentile, didn\u2019t make it into for Mel relieve Wetteland tike I did when Wetteland was hurt,\u201d Rojas said this week.\u201cI've got to save some games.\u201d Rojas has shown he can do it on a limited basis.When the overpowering Wet- teland was injured early last season, Rojas recorded saves in eight consecutive games and then won in his ninth appearance in late April and early May.He was perhaps the league's best set-up man after that and ended the season with a 3-2 record and 16 saves.His 84 innings of relief pitching led the major leagues.The pressure will be all the greater as the closer \u2014 especially following in Wetteland\u2019s trail.\u201cIt\u2019s something I hoped to do and now\u2019s the time to show people I can do it,\u201d said Rojas, a nephew of manager Felipe Alou.Wetteland came back to save 25 games as the Expos posted the best record in baseball before the players\u2019 strike wiped out the end of the season and the playoffs.It was the second consecutive season in which Wetteland and Rojas had been the league\u2019s best one-two combination out of the bullpen.Now, Rojas moves up to No.1 and Tim Scott, who was 5-2 with one save in 53.1 innings in middle relief, is likely to be the the game.Harris had three shutout innings and Perez followed with two.Sophomore first baseman Cliff Floyd showed up to camp overweight at 253 pounds and looked sluggish through the first week of camp.But in the first pre-season game, he had a double and a home run in three trips to the plate.Alou has wondered if Floyd is simply the type of player who takes some time before reaching | the top of his game.\u201cCliff wasn\u2019t hitting the ball in batting practice,\u201d said Alou.\u201cBut then, last year he didn\u2019t even hit .200 in spring training.\u201d new set-up man.\u201cRojas has a lot of potential and I think he\u2019ll live up to it,\u201d said Expos general manager Kevin Malone.\u201cHe's got that look in his eyes.\u201cI think he can be one of the best closers in the league.\u201d Wetteland\u2019s status as a star closer made him too expensive for the cash-strapped Expos.The short training camp caused by the late settlement of the strike will add more pressure to the relievers because it will take time before starters will be able to throw 100-plus pitches in a

Sports The RECORD\u2014Friday, April 14, 1995\u201413 Pecord Canadian women suffer first loss at curling championship Close friendships breed success for Burtnyk and crew By Reg Curren BRANDON, Man.(CP) \u2014 Canadian skip Kerry Burtnyk attributes his success to only ever curling with close friends.That success continued Thursday at the world curling championships when he and his rink ran their record to 8-0 with an 8-1 win over Andy Kapp of Germany.In his second game, Burtnyk\u2019s rink defeated Sweden 8-2 to finish alone in first with a 9-0 record.However, the skip did not know Thursday night who he would play in today\u2019s semi-final because he had to await the outcome of three tie-breaking games.The Canadian women, meanwhile, fell short of their bid for a perfect record, getting pummelled 10-1 by Helena Blach- Lavrsen of Denmark, the European champion.Skip Connie Laliberte and her Winnipeg rink finished the round-robin with an 8-1 record and will meet Andrea Schopp of Germany in one of today\u2019s semifinals.\u201cIf we had to lose a game, I'd rather lose that one,\u201d said Lali- berte, adding sticky ice conditions in the warm, sold-out arena affected the game.\u201cNo one likes to lose, I don\u2019t know of anyone who does.\u201cBut I don\u2019t mind as long as we can win the next two games.\u201d But not at any price NHL wants Jets to stay in Winnipeg WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 The NHL wants the Winnipeg Jets to remain in the city but won't stop the club from leaving if its financial problems can\u2019t be resolved, league vice-president Jeff Pash said Thursday.\u201cAt this point our focus is on what can be done to keep the team in Winnipeg.That's our preferred solution,\u201d Pash, the NHL's chief legal counsel, said after meeting with local politicians and a potential ownership group.\u201cThat\u2019s what I said to the people I met today.\u201d Pash said the NHL wants to keep teams in Canada, but not at any cost.\u201cThere\u2019s interest in the United States in additional teams and that can be addressed through expansion at the appropriate time,\u201d he said.\u201cBut our plan is not to move Canadian teams into Jets beat Blues, Joe Louis DETROIT (AP) \u2014 The biggest goal in San Jose Sharks history came nearly a year ago at Detroit's Joe Louis Arena when they knocked the Red Wings out of the Stanley Cup playoffs.Unfortunately for the Sharks, they haven't scored one there since.For the second time this season, the Sharks came into Detroit and were shut out by the Red Wings, this time 3-0 Thursday night.\u201cThis was a great game for us,\u201d Red Wings coach Scotty Bowman said.\u201cWe got an outstanding effort from every forward and every defenceman because they really wanted to get a shutout.\u201d Detroit outshot San Jose 41-12, as Mike Vernon notched Local notes the United States.\u201cThe solution (for the Jets) has to be one that is locally oriented and has to come from the community itself.And if the city and the province are not going to do what's neccesary, then we have to look at alternatives which would include relocation.\u201d Jets owner Barry Shenkarow has said he will move to sell the franchise if a deal for a new arena isn\u2019t completed by the the end of April.A group of local investors say they have worked out a deal that would see Winnipeg get a new Norway \u2014 who meets Sweden in the other semifinal \u2014 also finished 8-1.But Canada clinched first because of their win over the Norwegians Wednesday.In the other women\u2019s games, Switzerland defeated Germany 5-3, Norway beat France 9-3, Sweden hammered Japan 12-3 and the United States won 8-6 over Scotland.Canada\u2019s men were to play their final round-robin game in the night draw against Sweden.\u201cWe all feel very comfortable with each other because we're great friends off the ice,\u201d said Burtnyk, 36.\u201cIts made a huge difference because when you spend a week like this, kind of in arena.The deal is contingent on a cash contribution by the provincial government and the future ofthe Jets is an issue in the April 25 provincial election.Pash said the potential ownership group wanted to know where the NHL stood on revenue sharing as a means of helping small-market teams such as Winnipeg.The league has commissioned a study on revenue-sharing and met earlier this week with the economist who headed up that study.\u201cBased on that meeting, he is going to come back to us with some recommendations and alternative strategies for revenue-sharing,\u201d said Pash.He then added that he feels the disparity between the U.Sand Canadian dollar is the big closer to playoffs not welcome sight for Shark the relatively easy shutout, his first as a Red Wing.\u201cThat's a great hockey team,\u201d San Jose coach Kevin Constantine said.\u201cThey have always had the offensive talent, and this year they are playing great defense as well.\u201d The Red Wings are 9-0-1 in their last 10 games, their longest unbeaten streak since they went 8-0-2 in November 1991.The Red Wings completely outplayed the Sharks, and only a strong performance from Wade Flaherty kept San Jose in the game.\u201cFlats played a great game for us,\u201d Constantine said.\u201cHe kept us close, but we could never make a run at them.\u201d In the first, Detroit outshot San Jose 15-4, but could only take a 1-0 lead, when Ray Sheppard scored his 22nd by tipping a Viacheslav Fetisov shot over Flaherty.The Red Wings scored twice in the second, when they outshot the Sharks 12-3.The first goal came at 4:41 when Steve Yzerman tipped Fetisov\u2019s shot from the point over Flaherty\u2019s shoulder for his 10th goal.Detroit made it 3-0 with a power-play goal at 13:38.Sheppard took another Fetisov pass and flipped a shot at the net that sailed past a screened Flaherty.In a normal 84-game season, Sheppard would be on pace for another 50-goal season, but that isn\u2019t weighing heavily on his mind.\u201cI don\u2019t even think about sco- the limelight like we've been, the only time you get to yourself is when you're together (away from the rink.)\u201d The Burtnyk rink was formed just a year ago, but the curling friendships among its members, which include third Jeff Ryan, second Rob Meakin and lead Keith Fenton, stretch back to their junior days.\u201cKeith and I go back about 20 years and Kerry and I go back to the early 80s when we played together for five years,\u201d said Ryan, 36, a car leasing manager.\u201cWe all get along really well.We're pretty laid back on the ice and I hope it stays like that.\u201d When the Canadian men\u2019s rink isn\u2019t on the ice at the world problem facing small-market teams in Canada.\u201cThe small-market, low- revenue teams in the U.S.have a different kind of problem that needs to be addressed separately.But we're looking at putting together some kind of plan to take care of the currency differential.\u201d Pash also said he feels Winnipeg can support an NHL club but the league doesn\u2019t want a short- term solution to the problems.\u201cWe want a long-term solution that will keep the team here for many years to come, that will have adequately financed them and allow them to field a competitive team so that Winnipeg can have a team that will contend in the playoffs on a regular basis.We don\u2019t want to have a league that divides into haves and have- nots.\u201d ring anymore,\u201d he said.\u201cI stopped about three weeks to a month ago.\u201cTo play on this team, you have do the other things.I'm just trying to do everything Scotty wants.\u201d Jets 5 Blues 2 WINNIPEG (CP) \u2014 The Winnipeg Jets scored early and often as they skated two points closer to the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with a 5-2 victory over the St.Louis Blues Thursday night.Alexei Zhamnov\u2019s 27th goal of the season at 13:18 of the first period stood up as the eventual game winner as Winnipeg improved its record to 12-20-6 in front of 13,250 fans at the Arena.championships, Burtnyk and his curling crew catch up on other _ sports news or crank up the computer golf \u2014 always with a little money on the line.\u201cWe talk about anything and everything.We're all big sports fanatics.Last weekend we watched the Masters and now we're checking out hockey scores,\u201d said Burtnyk, an investment adviser and avid golfer.\u201cTo be close friends is important because when you are together you don\u2019t want to be bickering or feeling uncomfortable with each other.\u201d Perhaps another of the reasons Burtnyk\u2019s crew gets along so well is that it doesn\u2019t spend much time on the ice practising.\u201cWe never practice.We're not a practice team,\u201d said Ryan.\u201cIt doesn\u2019t do me any good.I get bored really quick.I don\u2019t think we've thrown a rock since the Brier other than when we were in Selkirk (for a bonspiel).\u201d Ryan said he wasn\u2019t enthusiastic about going to Selkirk, but it turned out to be a wise decision for the Canadian team.\u201cI wasn\u2019t big on going because I didn\u2019t think our minds would be there.But as it turned out the ice there was running about 25 seconds like this (in Brandon).\u201cWe struggled in Selkirk because we hadn\u2019t played on 25-second ice, so looking back that was a great move.\u201d QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 The Nordiques got a break from practice Thursday after their equipment got lost on its way to a Boston airport Wednesday night.The trouble began when the team couldn't get a flight out of Logan international airport in Boston after a match with the Boston Bruins.The Nordiques had to drive to another airport in New Bed- ford, about an hour from Boston, to catch another flight.But the Nordiques trainers driving the truck with the equipment ended up in Bedford, an area in the opposite direction.Nords get day off equipment AWOL By the time the mixup was discovered, it was too late for the drivers to turn back.They ended up driving home, arriving in Quebec City late Thursday afternoon.In a bizarre coincidence, the equipment bags of three Buffalo Sabres players got lost Wednesday night as they boarded a flight to Quebec City from New York.\u201cWithout my knee braces and my skates, I will not play,\u201d Sabres player Donald Audette said.\u201cIt\u2019s very frustrating to just watch your teamates practising.\u201d NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 After breaking their 54-year Stanley Cup drought last season, the New York Rangers are in danger of missing the playoffs.Not since the 1970 Montreal Canadiens has a team been NHL champion one year and missed the post-season the next.But with only 10 games remaining, that\u2019s the dubious distinction confronting the Rangers.\u201cThere\u2019s talent on this team and we have the people to work through it,\u201d insists first-year head coach Colin Campbell.\u201cIt\u2019s not easy, particularly after what we went through last year, but you have to battle.\u201d Right now, the battle is uphill.The Rangers are two points out of the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference, currently held by the Hartford Whalers.With 35 points, the Rangers are tied for Cup champs on verge of missing playoffs ninth with the Canadiens.The Florida Panthers and Tampa Bay Lightning are another two points back.\u201cWe know the situation we are in,\u201d defenceman Brian Leetch said after a 3-1 victory Wednesday night over the Buffalo Sabres.\u201cWe cannot afford to lose any more.There\u2019s no margin for error.We have to win.\u201d There haven't been too many positives this season for the Rangers, who have had 10 one-goal losses, have been shut out four times and have a losing record at Madison Square Garden, where they dominated last season en route to their first Stanley Cup since 1940.The Rangers were 28-8-6 last season at the Garden, contributing to their league-leading 52-24-8 record overall.This season, they are 7-8-3 at home and 16-19-3 overall.SHERBROOKE SKATERS SHINE VICTORIAVILLE \u2014 The Sherbrooke Figure Skating Club had several members
