About 1,000 jobs are being eliminated as part of the CBC's leaner- and-meaner approach to coping with budget cuts.President Perrin Beatty told employees in a memo Tuesday that the CBC is trying to preserve services essential to its role as public broadcaster.\u201cIn order to achieve this goal with significantly reduced government funding, the corporation must become smaller and more efficient,\u201d Beatty wrote.He said 350 people will be laid off, a similar number offered buyouts and another 135 vacant positions won't be filled.About 200 positions have already been eliminated

fans were left on tenterhooks Tuesday after yet another delay in determining the fate of the troubled NHL team.Marcel Aubut, president and part-owner of the club, asked that a face-to-face meeting with Premier Jacques Parizeau \u2014 scheduled for Tuesday \u2014 be put off until Thursday.Nordiques spokesman Jean Martineau said Aubut was out of town on business but he denied that his boss was in Denver, which is the favorite to land the Nordiques.Aubut had hoped to meet with Parizeau during the long weekend and had informed government negotiator André Joli-Coeur he was available any day except Tuesday, Martineau said.Parizeau said Aubut had agreed to the Tuesday meeting but then called to cancel.\u201cAll I could say was Yes,\u201d Parizeau said outside the National Assembly Tuesday.\u201cIf that\u2019s what you want, you'll have your meeting on Thursday.\u201d It looked more like another the job reductions won\u2019t be the end of CBC belt-tightening.\u201cThe CBC is

driver had such severe injuries after an altercation with police that it\u2019s remarkable he survived the ordeal, an expert medical witness testified Tuesday.Richard Barnabé is only clinically alive

aggravated assault trial of five police officers involved in the arrest, Dr.Mark Angle said the fact that Barnabé is clinging to life at all is surprising.Angle said the damage caused by loss of blood and oxygen to the brain would have killed almost anyone else.\u201cThe death of (brain) tissue was very significant, of an order that is rarely seen,\u201d said Angle, who first examined Barnabé about four hours after he went into a coma in a police cell.\u201cMost people who suffer such a loss of tissue die.\u201d Angle, the Crown\u2019s 24th and probably final witness, said the 40-year-old Barnabé was severely smashed up when he first examined him at the Montreal Neurological Institute.Beyond factures to his skull and ribs as well as hand and knee injuries, his face was covered with blood, his nose was flattened and he had \u201craccoon eyes.\u201d \u201cI found a tooth in the back of his throat.\u201d But the real damage to Barnabé \u2014 a cardiac arrest which kept blood from

the provincial government have agreed to resume formal talks of future development in northern Quebec after six years of bitter feuding.In a breakthrough for the Parti Québécois government, the Cree have signed a framework agreement that starts talks on a sweeping range of issues.In return, the Cree have put off for now their legal challenge of Hydro-Quebec\u2019s $13.3-billion Great Whale hydroelectric project, which the PQ put on ice after taking power last year.Although the two sides will not discuss the thorny issue of Quebec independence, the PQ will likely try to portray Tuesday's agreement as proof that natives and Quebecers could Parizeau slams concentration QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Premier Jacques Parizeau says he\u2019s concerned that three men control almost all the daily newspapers in Quebec, describing the situation as a problem of \u201cgreat acuteness.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve never thought that such concentration in the Quebec media is normal,\u201d Parizeau said Tuesday.The premier told the legislature that Conrad Black, Paul Desmarais and Pierre Pela- NORDIQUES: Continued from page one sides to say they explored every avenue to try to save the team.Aubut

that only three people in print media should share up to 90 per cent of government advertising,\u201d Parizeau said.\u201cI'm still thinking about the problem but don\u2019t ask me to take any hasty action.\u201d Earlier this year, Parizeau warned newspaper owners, editorial writers and columnists that \u201cjust because you control all comment in the media doesn\u2019t mean you can frighten

double standard\u201d by maintaining Quebec could separate from Canada but that Cree couldn\u2019t separate from Quebec.On Tuesday, he was less strident.\u201cIt\u2019s an issue to be debated in another forum,\u201d Coon Come said.\u201cThe reality is, the day after the referendum the Cree will not leave the Cree territory.\u201cWe've got to find ways of how we can coexist and how we can live together and how we, as northerners, can be co- partners, be full participants and have a say on what happens in our own backyard.\u201d The pact was signed by Cree negotiator Billy Diamond and David Cliche, Premier Jacques Parizeau\u2019s point man on native issues.The signing carae just after the first face-to-face meeting between Parizeau and Coon Come since the PQ took power last September.It was also the first time a provincial government and the Cree had held a formal meeting since 1989, when the Liberal government announced plans to build a second phase of the James Bay project.The Cree fought the project all the way, launching highly damaging anti-Hydro publicity campaigns in the United States and Europe.Asked about past feuds, Diamond said: \u201cYou know me.I've always said that the white man speaks with forked tongue.\u201cI have to look over my shoulder for who's stabbing me in the back but in this case we wanted to do something.\u201d 19,000-seat Colisee and to cover the

was unanimously rejected last week by the Nordiques\u2019 five shareholders, including Aubut.Rumors continued to swirl on the weekend that a deal to sell the Nordiques to Comsat was virtually set but that Aubut was negotiating a lucrative contract as consultant to the new owners.Martineau said Aubut will not leave Quebec City if the team is sold and any consulting job could only be negotiated after the sale.Meanwhile, Manitoba Premier Gary Filmon referred in his throne speech Tuesday to the campaign to save the Winnipeg Jets.\u201cThe threatened loss of the Jets.hasledto an unparalleled

Barnabé\u2019s ribs, an injury which made breathing even more difficult, Angle suggested.In their cross-examination, the police lawyers did not dispute Angle\u2019s hypothesis.Instead, they asked the doctor \u2014 a specialist in neuro- anesthethics, pulmonary problems and intensive care medicine \u2014 to play psychiatrist and describe what kind of mental condition Barnabé might have been in.How

The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, May 24, 1995\u20143 The Townships Dairy producers want BST moratorium extended Leery farmers see Debate on the use of recombinant bovine somatotropin, more commonly known as BST, has been revived as a federal moratorium on the use of a controversial milk-boosting hormone in Canada expires July 1.While manufacturers of the hormone say BST is perfectly safe, many farmers and consumers have questions about its effect on humans and animals.Today's report is the first in a series which takes a look at BST and the debate surrounding it\u2019s potential use.By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 Dairy farmers in the Eastern Townships have joined their counterparts throughout Quebec and Canada to demand an extension on a federal moratorium on the use of a controversial hormone injected into cows to boost milk production.The local and provincial milk farmers federation and the Quebec Farmers Association all voted earlier this year to ask Ottawa to delay use of the syntheticaly produced bovine somatotropin, known as BST, until they are assured the product is safe for animals and consumers.\u201cDairy farmers and associations oppose it because it is unproven long-term effect not only in dairy cows but also in humans,\u201d said QFA president Douglas MacKinnon.\u201cWe want to wait to get the results of different tests and studies,\u201d said Gérard Routhier, president of the local Fédération des producteurs de lait.ENDS SOON Last June, the federal government imposed a temporary ban on BST until the results of further studies are known.The moratorium on the use of BST in Canada expires July 1.Routhier, a dairy farmer in Stanstead, said that many of the tests performed so far have been by Monsanto, the main producer of synthetic BST.He Gérard Routhier.Who needs it?said he wants to see more independent studies before he trusts in the safety of BST.Sawyerville dairy farmer Roberta Sylvester is also leery of tests performed or funded by BST producers and drug companies who are awaiting permission to sell the hormone in Canada.\u201cIf you read it all, you can see a lot of holes in it,\u201d she said.\u201cIt\u2019s deceitful, that\u2019s what itis.\u201d Sylvester said she is concerned by some studies which show a possible link between breast cancer and BST through Cows produce BST naturally.no good in growth hormone elevated levels of the protein, Insulin Growth Factor-1, found in cow\u2019s milk.And, she said, there has not been enough research to really predict the long-term effects on consumers who ingest the milk of BST- boosted cows.\u201cIt hasn't been researched long enough to know if it will have adverse effects on this generation and the following generation,\u201d Sylvester said.CONSUMER FEAR MacKinnon, a longtime dairy farmer from Way\u2019s Mills, said farmers and consumers fear pharmaceutical companies marketing their wares because of past experiences.\u201cI have very little confidence in chemical companies pushing their products,\u201d he said, adding that horrors stories such as Thalidomide and breast implants have taught consumers to be much more critical.Thalidomide was a drug taken by pregnant women in the late 1950s and early 1960s that turned out to cause serious birth defects.Breast implants, which had undergone little testing before they were launched on the market, leaked and caused numerous health problems for women in the 1980s.\u201cThis makes the public very, very critical and suspicious of chemical companies,\u201d MacKin- non said.\u201cWhat they claim to be the God-honest truth is not always so.\u201d Mackinnon said the public doesn\u2019t want BST and farmers fear that using the hormone will turn consumers off milk.PURITY \u201cWe just don\u2019t want to take the risk that consumption of dairy products will be reduced,\u201d he said.\u201cIf we start adding hormones to the milk, it\u2019s no longer 100 per cent pure and the public is very opposed to it.\u201d Right now, milk is considered by consumers to be one of the purest food products on the market, MacKinnon said.Routhier says consumers are happy with the quality of milk and he fears that the use of BST will hurt consumer confidence.In the U.S.many consumers are demanding that milk produced with BST should be labelled.And some farmers in Vermont are significantly increasing their market share by producing and marketing BST-free milk.\u201cWe always said we were better than the Americans,\u201d Routhier said.\u201cWe want to protect our market.\u201d But even if BST is proven to be safe, many producers say they don\u2019t need it.Routhier said dairy genetics in Quebec are among the best in the world and dairy farmers here are capable of producing large quantities of milk just by taking good care of their herds.WHY USE IT?\u201cWe can produce enough milk through a healthy diet,\u201d he said.\u201cWhy use BST?\u201d MacKinnon said that using BST is just not practicial for use by dairy farmers in Canada who are on a quota system, and where producers are already being penalized for overprodcution.\u201cEverybody is at the top of their cuota,\u201d MacKinnon says, adding that the cost of hormone investments would require the purchase of additional quotas, which are expensive and hard to find.\u201cEconomically and business- wise there is no incentive to use BST in Canada and especially in Quebec,\u201d he said.Already many farmers are complaining they don\u2019t have enough milk quota, and they could produce a whole lot more if there were a market for it, Routhier says.Doug Mackinnon.Mmilk consumption may drop.MacKinnon and Routhier say they have no intention of using the hormone, even if it doesn become legal.And they say the feeling is mutual among the vast majortiy of their colleagues.Many dairy farmers even say they hope the delay on the approval of BST becomes a permanent ban.\u201cThe majority of farmers in the federation don\u2019t want to use it,\u201d Routhier says.\u201cSure, some want to use it, but the provincial decision was to wait and see.\u201d One way or another, the issue of BST is unlikely to fade away, even if a moratorium is extended, or it is replaced by a ban, says QFA executive director Hugh Maynard.\u201cWhen I started ten years ago the two big issues were GATT (the General Agreement on Trades and Tariffs) and BST, and both of them are still with us.\u201d = = a a JAN SOCIÉTÉ Tin Ing di rving @N DE L'ASsuRANCE | vw, : AUTOMOBILE & } DU QUEBEC 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, May 24, 1995 Teachers blame \u2018sacred inner circle\u2019 approach Bedford board cuts special-ed spending By Sharon McCully COWANSVLLE \u2014 Elementary and secondary students who require special support services will take the hardest hit when the District of Bedford School Board brings down its $21 million budget next month.The first cut came Tuesday night when commissioners voted to eliminate the special- education consultant\u2019s position in order to maintain services at the school level.The central consultant provided resource teachers in individual schools with current information on identifying and helping children with learning disabilities.About 20 per cent of the board\u2019s 2600 children require some special support.Director-general Jim Bissell said the board\u2019s orientation is to have each sphere of educational activity \u201clive within its means.\u201d Jumping bail, By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 Alleged drug kingpin Paulin Bolduc was charged at the Sherbrooke courthouse Tuesday with jumping bail and income-tax evasion.The Massawippi resident was captured in Colombia last month, a year and a half after he suddenly fled Canada on the eve of his cocaine-smuggling trial.Bolduc, who was arrested by drug enforcement agents in Colombia last month, was charged by provincial Crown prosecutors with failing to respect his bail conditions and not presenting himself for the drug conspiracy trial, which beganin Sherbrooke in November 1993.In the past, the Bedford Board allocated more funds for special education students than it received in grants from the government.As funding levels declined over the past few years, the board has been forced to re-evaluate its posi- tionin order to maintain educational services to other students.Louise Smith, spokeswoman for the teachers union, criticized the board for making the cuts without adequate consultation at a time when more students with special needs are being identified.\u201cThere are ways to stay within budget without touching student services,\u201d Smith said, adding it's unfortunate consultations did not extend beyond \u201ca sacred inner circle.\u201d Parents and teachers quizzed the board on the rationale behind cutting services which directly affect students, while maintaining a full complement of administrators.Commissioner Mike Murray pointed out that it was school principals who chose to take the resources used to engage a centralized special education consultant and use the funds to maintain local resource teachers.Commissioner Wuanita Wighton added it was a choice between giving up the consultant or something else.The board\u2019s director of instructional services, Dennis McCullough, noted that maintaining teaching services emerged as a priority during consultations with principals and parent representatives.\u201cWe don\u2019t have the funding we've had in the past and revenues must equal expenses,\u201d McCullough said.One parent said she regretted that consuitation with Income tax evasion Extra charges against Bolduc, 40, also faced a federal Crown prosecutor who charged him under federal tax laws with five counts of failing to declare income totalling $600,000 between 1987 and 1991, and for not paying $150,000 in personal income taxes.Bolduc looked tanned and relaxed, standing handcuffed between two courthouse guards in the prisoners\u2019 dock.He smirked when he noticed three armed Quebec Police Force officers at the back of the courtroom.SECURITY Since his return to Quebec last Friday to face trial, Bolduc Wanted: Sherbrooke Police are looking for a man in connection with a sexual assault which took place at 11:15 p.m.May 16 near the corner of Galt RUN West and Tetreault streets.As the victim was walking to a depanneur the man walked up in front of her and grabbed her by the waist.He then began to fondle her legs, buttocks and genitals.Throughout the assault he said nothing.The victim managed to escape and the man fled north on Tetreault.The attacker is described as a white male with brown hair cut short on the sides and lon- gerintheback.He was nearly six feet tall and weighs about 165 pounds.At the time of the attack he was wearing jeans and a jean jacket.He had a few days growth of moustache.If you have any information about this case please contact the Sherbrooke Police at 821-5555.has been the subject of extreme precautions.\u201cWe have taken special security measures,\u201d said Talbot Street Jail spokesman Mario Alie, adding that Bolduc is an international-calibre prisoner with an impressive reputation.\u201cIt\u2019s as if they expect dive- bombers to parachute in and break him out,\u201d commented lawyer Michel Dussault, who visited Bolduc at the provincial jail this weekend.Bolduc was arrested by Colombian drug enforcement agents in the village of Santa Marta on April 20.He was expelled from the country last week for entering under a false passport.Alleged to be involved with the Colombian Medellin drug cartel, Bolduc was first arrested in April 1991, just four days after the freighter Marine Transport was shipwrecked off the coast of Newfoundland.Only 34 kilograms of cocaine were eventually recovered by divers in August 1993, but police allege the freighter was carrying up to 1500 kilos of the drug, worth more than $1 billion.TRIAL ONGOING The trial of Bolduc and seven alleged co-conspirators has continued during the absence of the alleged mastermind, despite the objections of lawyer Dussault.Two fellow accused have already been sentenced, including Montrealer William England and ship\u2019s administra- parents was confined to expenditures in only two of the board's ten spending areas.\u201cIt would have been helpful to look at thw whole picture,\u201d she said.Others thought it unfair that decisions were made based on information that was doled out piecemeal.Commissioner Peter Riordon said it's unrealistic to think cuts can be made without feeling the impact.Riordon said the board is already operating at a \u201cbare bones\u201d level and any cut will wound.On another subject, Massey- Vanier High School teacher Peter Langford asked for clarification of rumors that major changes are on the horizon for Massey-Vanier High School.Langford said he and other staff members learned only earlier in the day that administrators on both the Bedford and Davignon sides of the joint French-English, Catholic- Protestant high school are entertaining the possibility of a single-bell system and agreements for resource-sharing which will dramatically change the way the school operates.Langford said while teachers and students are not necessarily against the move, they regret the fact no consultation has taken place with those who will be most affected by the decisions.\u201cChildren are already in a fragmented school, where school spirit is practicaly non- existant,\u201d Langford said.\u201cAll I ask is that you not foist things on us at one minute to midnight.\u201d Bissell said the rumors are part of an on-going dialogue with the Davignon school board.Commissioner Murray added that the issues have been on the agenda since 1993.Paulin Bolduc tor Frederic Polenco Perez, who has become one of the main witnesses against the others.Another co-accused, Marine Atlantic Captain Modesto Vale- rio of the Dominican Republic, disappeared just three weeks after Bolduc did.The trial is scheduled to reconvene June 12.However legal wrangling may delay the case and drag the four-year-old trial out even longer.Dussault is due in Appeals Court June 13 where he will argue that Bolduc could not be tried in absentia.Although Dussault has represented Bolduc since his return from Colombia, he pulled out of the trial following the disapperance in 1993.Now he says Bolduc may need a new lawyer.\u201cI can\u2019t pick up where I left off and continue on June 12,\u201d Dussault said, adding that he has undertaken other commitments.A new lawyer would have to catch up on the preliminary inquiry, which lasted a year and a half, and more than a year and a half of trial.Bolduc will be back in court May 31 for a bail hearing.Wanted: Sherbrooke Police are looking for this man in connection with an armed sexual assault on a 14 year-old girl on April 12.While the victim was waiting for a taxi on Wellington South shortly after midnight, two men came out of the Barbie Club strip bar and approached the girl from behind.They grabbed her by the throat and dragged her into the alley behind the bar.They then held her down and fondled her genitals.When she struggled and cried for help one man pulled out a \u2018Buck\u2019 knife and put it to her throat.He then dropped the knife and the girl managed to get away.The victim managed to get a look at only one man.He is described as a white male with long brown hair and brown eyes.His face had acne scars and he is believed to be about 5-foot-10 and of medium build.At the time of the attack he was wearing a black leather Perfecto brand Jacket and jeans.If you have any information about this crime please contact the Sherbrooke Police at 821-5555.

Democratic congressional campaign committees.Clinton was reported unharmed.The shooting occurred just three days after Clinton accepted Secret Service recommendations to close Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the presidential mansion to cars and buses.Evidence 1s building in Bernardo trial By Gloria Galloway _ TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Amanda O'Bryant woke from a deep sleep in the early hours of June 15,1991, to the agitated voice of Leslie Mahaffy on the other end of the phone.It was the last time O\u2019Bryant spoke with her usually happy- go-lucky best friend.Mahaffy\u2019s dismembered body was found two weeks later, encased in concrete blocks in a lake near St.Catha- rines, a 45-minute drive from her Burlington home.Paul Bernardo is accused of abducting Mahaffy, 14, at kni- fepoint from outside her home just a short time after the call between the two pals.Mahaffy, who missed her curfew and came home to a locked house, called from a phone booth, O\u2019Bryant told Bernardo\u2019s trial Tuesday.The prosecution says Bernardo blindfolded Mahaffy and took her to his St.Catharine\u2019s house, where he raped and sodomized her for a day before strangling her with an electrical cord.The Crown also says Bernardo saved the cord and used it to strangle 15-year-old Kristen French 10 months later after abducting her on a St.Cathari- nes street and sexually assaulting her for three days.NDP rates high in polls despite economy O\u2019Bryant\u2019s testimony, which continues today, was videotaped before the trial because she\u2019s suffering complications during pregnancy, possibly caused by the stress of having to relive her friend's last hours.\u201clI remember that evening very well,\u201d O\u2019Bryant, 19, said in an even voice.Her maiden name was Carpino.\u201cShe spoke very quickly, which was unusual, and she was full of emotion, anxious, confused.She sounded very unlike herself.She said she had no money on her and didn\u2019t know what to do.\u201d It was a much different Mahaffy who, just hours earlier, had given hugs to O\u2019Bryant and other teens at a wake for a friend who died in a car crash.In Tuesday\u2019s testimony, Mahaffy was portrayed as a rebellious girl trying to cope with the strains of adolescence \u2014 \u201cstrong-willed\u201d and \u201coccasionally stubborn.\u201d She'd left home about a month before her abduction after an argument with her parents and stayed at a Burlington motel.She drank beer along with 50 to 100 other teens who attended the wake at a local outdoor hangout called \u201cthe rock.\u201d The trial also heard that Mahaffy, an animal lover who wanted to be a marine biologist, spent much the evening of the trying to cheer up friends devastated by the death of their friend.\u201cShe was very funny,\u201d recalled O'Bryant.\u201cA good person.\u201d Mahaffy\u2019s mother, Debbie, sobbed quiety as court was told her daughter had phoned her best friend to ask for a place to stay because she was locked out of her home and didn\u2019t want to wake her parents.But O'Bryant refused to ask her mother to pick up Mahaffy, knowing there had been \u201ctension\u201d between the friends\u2019

like a bad dream, an 11-year- old honor student said.\u201cI thought I was going to die,\u201d Michael Orr, a Grade 5 student from H.E.Bourgoin school, said from hospital Tuesday.\u201cIt was probably the time I was the most scared in my life.\u201d No one was seriously injured in the crash, which took place when the bus \u2014 on its way back from a field trip \u2014 drifted on to the shoulder near Dewberry, 200 kilometres northeast of Edmonton.Police said the driver, principal Barb Spilchuk, probably overcompensated and swerved sharply back on to the road, causing the bus to flip twice before skidding to a halt.\u201cI understand (the bus) caught the shoulder and the driver took corrective action and it went on its side,\u201d said RCMP Set.Peter Calvert.\u201cYou catch something and you correct and it\u2019s all over pretty quick sometimes.\u201d Spilchuk, a teacher and 36 students were taken to hospital and released.Michael Orr, who suffered a mild concussion, was one of

just go home then, because there\u2019s nowhere else to go.\u201d \u201d It was when she returned home, the prosecution says, that she ran into Bernardo and was lured into his car on the promise of getting a cigarette.Bernardo\u2019s ex-wife, Karla Homolka, was sentenced in July 1993 to 12 years in prison in the deaths of French and Mahaffy and is one of more than 100 witnesses slated to testify at the trial.nearby Vermilion.The boy said he was half asleep when the accident happened.\u201cI woke up when I felt a big bump and then I saw Mrs.Spil- chuk weaving around,\u201d he said.\u201cI

13 per cent.The poll is considered accurate to within plus or minus 3.5 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.The NDP\u2019s popularity in Saskatchewan is in marked contrast with NDP governments in Ontario and British Columbia, which have been plagued by political scandals, financial woes and rifts with such traditional supporters as organized labor.Ontario\u2019s Bob Rae will be the first of

1995 A definite pecking order For most of the six thousand years that have passed since humans began cultivating sedentary lifestyles, the act of growing food has been undergoing continuous refinement and specialization.Early human cultures assigned religious reverence to agriculture, worshipping seasonal deities and adopting philosophies which mirrored the cycles of their crops.No superstition was too far-fetched.Ancient European tribes would not have dared to sow barley, for instance, without first sprinkling the soil with human blood.The status of agriculture has been in gradual decline ever since science began unravelling the mystery of how food grows.Modern gardeners can only dream of the social power their forbea- rers must have wielded in communities where the closest thing to Rapid Grow was a hapless neighbor.Organized religion, working hand-in-hand with science, has managed over the centuries to weed all but residual traces of paganism from modern agriculture.So it is with some curiosity that gardening is suddenly all the rage again.Gardening-supply stores and mail-order seed houses in North America have reported steadi- liy rising revenues since the late 1980s; gardening is the only retail sector never to have felt the recession.Some observers seek to explain the phenomenon in terms of shifting leisure patterns and economic uncertainty: more and more budget- conscious consumers foregoing expensive vacations for the more sensual pleasures of moderate physical exercise, soiled hands and prettified backyards.But something else is also at work here: a new kind of tribalism, one that springs from the charming vanity of the Garden Snob.Garden snobbery is not an exclusive club.Anyone who can pull something edible from their backyard between May and November possesses instant bragging rights.But thereis a definite pecking order.Power stems not from the quantity of produce, but rather from the ability to describe to friends what is grown.The harvest ritual invariably invokes an image of inferior commercial offerings, so people forced to buy their rhubarb in the local supermarket, for instance, are pitied aloud: \u201cImagine charging ten cents a piece for those wilted stalks.\u201d goes a typical refrain.The Garden Snob accrues tribal power each time during a growing season he can compare his home-grown vegetables with the nearest produce counter.So variety is most important.It matters little whether the garden is riddled with weeds, or that a single tomato was ever rescued from the birds, or that the squash was so small that it was mistaken for cucumbers.What matters is that at the end of the summer, you can declare proudly that you defied the Del Montes and the McCains of the world, you thumbed your nose at Provigo \u2014 at least once \u2014 and directed one small part of the universe.DWANE WILKIN \u20ac PLACES \u2014>, = en IT X IN4E \\ 1 VV A Pll a Lillies rr) itch © gs.Letters to the Editor The play was a spoof Dear Editor, Although I was not planning to write a letter in response to Fraser Adams and the others who wrote about the Alexander Galt production of Robin Hood, I believe that now I have no choice.For people who saw the play to express an opinion about it is one thing, but for people such as Eileen Perkins, who never saw the play, to write in about its so- called questionable content, is going too far.I was a member of the cast of this wonderful play and I am shocked by people's offence.This play was a joke and much of the content that was considered distasteful by some was actually a parody of those various lifestyles.Of course, I suppose you had to be there and to have seen the play to understand! Yes, there was a scene where Friar Tuck taught Lady Quigley how to fart but it was in no way vulgar.After all, is there anyone who has never farted?Concerning the night of heavy beer drinking, I will remind you that the play was a spoof, poking fun at various superficial lifestyles.As for the \u201cravishing\u201d of young women, I will inform you that nowhere in the play was anyone ravished.Marion did ask Robin if she was to be ravished but he assured her that this would not be the case.I do not recall any other episodes centering around the ravishing of young girls but I could be mistaken \u2014 I only saw the play, what 82 times?! The Ye Olde Fuzzo scene was perhaps making fun of our society's use of age deterring products or as one person suggested, the growing problem of substance abuse.But as for it being about losing one\u2019s virginity, how far off the topic could one actually get?Children today have seen and experienced much more than one may wish to believe and, I assure you, it was not because of this play.I am not an adult yet but I do know what drugs, alcohol and sex are and most of my knowledge about these subjects was attained by the time I was seven.I am confident when I say that no one was influenced to try drugs or lose their virginity as a result of the play.Frankly, I feel we the students did an excellent job and deserve your praise and support.This play had a subtle moral message and it is too bad that everyone did not interpret it.Of course for those who were not even there.My sisters saw this play twice and loved it.They are seven and ten.My parents and grandparents also saw the play and were in no way offended by it.This play was partly a farce about vacuous and selfish lifestyles.But it didn\u2019t stop there.Marion and Robin promoted a sense of caring towards the poor and the environment.They encouraged values that should be present in our society.I feel badly for the people who did not realize this because they missed out on a lot.Sincerely, CLAIRE SWEENY a.k.a.Sally the Serving Wench Waterville An in-depth sight Letters To The Editor: I wish to thank the Record for the pleasing and thoughtful way my poem about my Mother was presented.The family also likes very much, the new format of \u201cour\u201d newspaper.Also, I wish to comment on another's poem - I was deeply stirred by the words of the poem submitted by Ralph Brott, in May 11th.edition of the Record.It impressed on me greatly (as I have just recently lost my Mother) the feelings and memories I am trying to cope with at this time.Thank you, sir, for such an in-depth sight to our bereavements!

governor will lower rates at \u201cevery opportunity he gets.\u201d Andrew Pyle, chief economist with MMS International, a financial information service, said he suspects the economy actually shrank during the first three months of the year.The latest economic statistics paint a grim picture.Existing home sales were down 43.4 per cent in April, compared with last April.Retail sales in March were at their lowest level since the recession in the early 1990s, down 0.7 per cent from February.Manufacturers\u2019 new orders dropped by 0.9 per cent in two-thirds of a cent at the open of trading

unfortunate when the economy is weakening, but I think this is not a long-term trend upwards in interest rates,\u201d said John McCallum, chief economist at the Royal Bank.McCallum said there are bound to be ups and downs in financial markets.He still believes the trend is for a stronger dollar and lower interest rates by year end.McCallum said that despite a spate of bad economic news, Top

growth in 1994.While rates eased a bit earlier this month, the immediate prospect for rates is not great.The trend-setting bank rate rose 13 hundredths of a percentage point last week and the dollar tumbled 0.62 of a cent to 73.13 US Monday in New York.Foreign exchange markets in Toronto were closed for the holiday.A falling dollar tends to force interest rates higher.With exports falling and the domestic economy already in weak shape, Pyle said, interest rates would have to drop to early 1994 levels in order to fight off a recession.Canada can still count on the healthy U.S.economy to keep lugging it forward.\u201cThe Canadian economy is weak, but I think talk about recession is premature,\u201d he said.But Pyle expects only a modest drop in interest rates this summer.If interest rates drop in coming months and the economy grows in the second quarter ending June 30, the economy will not officially enter recession, which is defined as two consecutive quarters of downturn in growth.But a second-quarter rebound might not last long, either.Pyle predicts the uncertainty caused by a sovereignty referendum in Quebec could make interest rates climb.\u201cAll you need is for a 100 to 200 basis point increase in rates in Canada in the fall to really cement the possibility of arecession as we go into 1996.\u201d Canada has experienced five years of expansion since the last recession.Even if the econoniy is still expanding, Pyle said the growth would be so slight it would be barely noticeable.Paper price stili a bargain?MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The price of newsprint is

Sherbrooke en blues festival is certainly celebrating its fifth birthday in style.The festival, which is expected to attract 45,000 people to the downtown core, will open with the incomparable Chicago bluesman Buddy Guy at the Granada Theatre June 29.Suzanne-Marie Landry, of Sherbrooke\u2019s downtown activities committee, said it wasn\u2019t easy securing Guy for the June 29-July 2 festival.\u201cWe worked hard and we got him,\u201d she said with a big smile at Tuesday\u2019s press conference announcing the lineup.Landry said it was almost a test to see if Sherbrooke could attract a star such as Guy.\u201cThe test was a success,\u201d she said, adding they've already set their sights on other musicians of Guy\u2019s calibre for future editions of the festival.Guy plays the Montreal Forum the following night with B.B.King.Why isn\u2019t King making an appearance in Sherbrooke?\u201cNext year,\u201d with a laugh.23 ARTISTS Well, Sherbrooke may not have B.B., but this year\u2019s festival will feature 23 local and international artists playing in 17 venues in downtown Sherbrooke \u2014 including an outdoor stage on Wellington St.S., 15 bars and the majestic Granada Theatre.Most of the bands perform once outdoors and in the bars each night.Two new additions to the fest are Sunday afternoon blues performed by Townships\u2019 bands and an evening featuring \u201cblues women\u201d, both on the outdoor stage.Landry said the stage is a good showcase for local talent.\u201cWe wanted to have a nice place for local musicians,\u201d said Landry.\u201cBefore they were opening for other artists at the Granada, but it was too early in the evening and there was nobody there.This gives them a stage for the afternoon, and many people have asked us to have music on Sunday afternoons for the family.\u201d Local bands performing on Sunday, July 2, from 1-5 are KGB, Jazz Cool, Boppin\u2019 Blues Landry said Arts and Entertainment Sherbrooke en blues lineup

School.Events as crazy as thumb wrestling and as sophisticated as soccer were organized by leadership students.Students at all levels participated in these events, which took place during noon hours.The winners of the competitions were the Sharks.eee The Student Council Educational Supply Committee met last week to discuss ways they could spend the money allotted to them by the Student Council for the purchase of goods that were judged to be good learning tools not accounted for in the usual budgets.The Student Council has been involved in many extracurricular activities and decided to get involved in education through this fund.The Committee, comprised of two teachers, a Student Council representative and the Student Council President, has made a final decision fulfilling most of the requests not accounted for in the department budgets.Olympics not just a bunch of smart kids By Julie Pinard Intellectual Olympics.Just a bunch of smart kids answering a bunch of boring questions?That was my first thought, but as a reporter on the job, I had to cover this story.Alexander Galt hosted the championship round of the Intellectual Olympics on May 10, welcoming Chateauguay Regional High School, the three time winner in this battle of the minds.I settled down to watch the teams and was immediately drawn in: my interest was piqued.The first event was debating.Kate Zaffis and Stephen Janidlo (Galt) faced up to Nancy Greig and Jesse Roskies (CVR) arguing on the topic \u201cBe it resolved that humans must learn to forgive but not forget\u201d.This was followed by the engineering event.The students were given certain materials and they had ta build a structure which would allow three different balls (a tennis ball, a marble, and a lead ball) to roll down its tracks and fall into a can at the end.The one which took the longest to reach the can earned fifteen points for their team.Lidia Palik and Curtis Mullin (Galt) went up against Eric Hortop and Cin- ziana Sist (CVR).All right, this was all very nice but where were the events where teammates sat by buzzers and answered questions?That was what I wanted to see \u2014 competition differing only by fractions of seconds.I wasn\u2019t disappointed because next were MathScience and Current Events matches.The Math/Science teams were Stephen Janidlo, Frank Kovak, Lidia Palik, and Shawn Jones for Alexander Galt, and Nancy Greig, Athanasia Antopoulos, Cinziana Sist, and Jason Greer for CVR.The competition was also fierce in the Current Events sector between Vivek Mehta, Trevor McKinven, Joe Rideout, Kate Zaffis (Galt) and Erica Dennison, Catherine Aboud, Kim Baranowski, and Eric Hortop (CVR).\u201cIts very nerve-racking,\u201d said Elizabeth Warlund, a piano teacher at Galt.\u201cBoth teams were so well- prepared.\u201d This was getting better every minute, and it didn\u2019t stop there.The Drama and Art competitions were next.The students from each team were given a box of props and told to make a skit using all of these.Afra Tucker, Trevor McKinven, and Curtis Mullin provided us with excellent performances for Galt, as well as Jesse Roskies for CVR.The judges for the Art competition wanted a poster form each school.The poster was to have the intention of building the students\u2019 awareness of violence and teenagers.Nerve-racing was definitely the right word.I found myself waiting, biting my fingernails, and mentally begging the judges not to keep us in suspense.But, of course they did, and was when I saw the these Olympics were not only a chance for students to compete in intellectual events, they gave other teenagers a chance to expose their talents as well.Heather Fisher and Karen Pellerin played the piano, Curtis Mullin the guitar.There was a fantastic juggling demonstration by Tom Badger.Finally the judges were ready.We were going to hear which school would be victorious and which would slump in defeat.But, no, that would be too easy.You see, both schools won three events, which means that they were tied.It all came down to the raw scores.To drag out our agony a little longer, the judges began to congratulate both schools on a magnificent performance; however, the scores were finally given.CVR was the four time champion of the Intellectual Olympics.Now, if any of you arent convinced, I challenge you to go next year.Youll be amazed, just like I was. The RECORD\u2014 Wednesday, May 24, 1995\u201411 Food Traditional weight-loss programs don\u2019t work By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press Whether it be Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig or any of the myriad of diet programs out there, none make one bit of difference when it comes to shedding excess fat, says a Manitoba dietitian.\u201cAll of these programs simply repackage the diet message,\u201d says Linda Omichinski from Portage la Prairie, who created HUGS, a healthy living non-diet program.\u201cWeight-loss programs translate to restrictive eating and create a diet mentality where individuals view foods in certain ways instead of as enjoyment and celebration.\u201d She backs up her views with statistics showing that more than 90 per cent of dieters who lose weight eventually regain the weight they lost \u2014 and more \u2014 within two to five years.Omichinski says that diets can actually make people heavier because fat becomes increasingly harder to lose and easier to gain as the body responds to repeated cycles of starving and stuffing.Food Short \u2014 If you can see the pasta, it\u2019s losing vitamins EVANSTON, Ill.(CP) \u2014 If you store your pasta in clear canisters on the kitchen counter, take heed, says a report in the newsletter, The Practical Vegetarian.Quoting an article in Environmental Nutrition, the report claims that after three months pasta has probably lost up to 80 per cent of the riboflavin, an important B vitamin.And pasta packaged in clear cellophane or plastic wil lose up to 20 per cent of its riboflavin on the supermarket shelf, says the report.\u201cThe moral of the story,\u201d says Elizabeth Brewster, the newsletter\u2019s editor, \u201cis to forget fashion and snazzy packaging and store your pasta in something boring and opaque inside your cupboards.\u201d Fish ink turning up in Japanese food products TOKYO (CP) \u2014 Sepia bread is among several products in Japan to contain cuttlefish ink.THE 24th BUFFET She and registered nurse Heather Wiebe Hildebrand have cc-authored a book entitled Tailoring Your Tastes, published bv Tamos Books Inc, $19.95.TAKE IT EASY \u201cIts based on the natural premise that people often make changes too quickly and drastically,\u201d said Omichinski in a recent interview.\u201cConsequently when the process becomes too difficult and results aren\u2019t instantiy forthcoming Ge.weight less), wa give up the * desire to change and return to the old ways.\u201d Instead, she and Hildebrand want to show people how to \u201cst\u2019de smoothly into healthier eating.\u201d \u201cEven making small changes * such as fixing more stir-frys for the family \u2014 which are really fast and easy and nutritious \u2014 can make a difference,\u201d Omi- chinski says.Grabbing food without even tasting it is another tendency she sees among people living in the fast lane, she says.\u201cInstead of asking ourselves should we eat something or do we need it, the more appropriate question is do we want it,\u201d she asks.\u201cThe healthy eater decides when and what to eat according to how physically hungry he or she is.\u201d Omichinski also has problems with the array of products labelled light or diet on the market.\u201cThe dieter generally stocks up on these light and diet foods because they have good intentions of what they think is eating healthy,\u201d she says.\u201cAnd that lasts for a while.Dieting dos and don\u2019ts By The Canadian Press Some dieting dos and don\u2019ts from a pioneer in the anti-dieting movement: Don't ignore your natural hunger signals and undereat at the expense of health.Don\u2019t overeat to find emotional satisfaction from food rather than from other areas of your life.Don\u2019t undereat to change your body shape to what you feel is accepted by society.Don\u2019t overeat because you are not paying suffi- |cient attention to your food to derive both physical*and psychological satisfaction from it.Cuttlefish, which is abundant in Asian waters, is like a very small, flattened octopus or a large squid.Cuttlefish ink, taken from the sac located where the head joins the body, was used in the past to make the color sepia.A report in the Food Channel, an industry trend newsletter published in Chicago, says the ink is also being used for pizza, noodles, sausages and spaghetti sauce.\u201cThese products are enjoying brisk sales in Japan following a 1990 report claiming cuttlefish ink contained a cancer- preventing substance,\u201d says the newsletter.Dijon mayonnaise has myriad applications TORONTO (CP) \u2014 A condiment combining mayonnaise and Dijon mustard is giving more than sandwiches a little more zip.Maille Dijonnaise, a combination of original Dijon mustard and creamy French mayonnaise, can be used in many other meal ideas: \u2014Whisk a little into eggs before scrambling for a zesty flavor.Eat regularly, every 3 to 6 hours, when you are physically hungry.Eat only until you are satisfied.Tune in to feeling of hunger and fullness.Allow yourself to be more relaxed when eating.Not feeling guilty allows you to get more enjoyment from eating.Pause before and during eating.Ask yourself if Your Tastes.\u2014Drizzle in a criss-cross pattern over warm asparagus.\u2014Thickly coat salmon steaks, then bake at 230 C (450 F) for 10 to 15 minutes.\u2014For moist and tasty burgers, stir into ground chicken or beef before forming into patties for the grill.\u2014For aninstant flavor boost, toss with hot peas or julienned carrots.\u2014For a warm Provencale salad, stir with cubed warm potatoes and diced ham.\u2014Stir with sour cream for topping warm fish steaks and chicken fajitas.\u2014Mix with yogurt for a sauce for broccoli.Niagara winery wins gold medal TORONTO (CP)

they really like then they eventually are going to end up binging.\u201d The same holds true for artificial sweeteners when used instead of sugar, Omichinski adds.\u201cInstead of acquiring a taste for things low in sugar, people switch from real sugar to an artificial substitute and still have that craving for sweets.\u201d She suggests that if we make small changes in our cooking and beverages then eventually \u201cwe will acquire a taste for foods lower in sugar.\u201d \u201cSo when we have a piece of cake we still may enjoy it, but it may be too sweet for our taste and we'll be satisfied

If a woman seeks out or returns to a man who abuses her, physically or otherwise, it means she has a problem.If a man is repeatedly attracted to women who are abusive and/or unfaithful, it means he has a problem.Women who allow themselves to be mistreated by men do so because they lack self-esteem and are afraid of being alone.They believe if they can change themselves and be good enough or pretty enough, the man will love them and stick around.And now, Ann, why do men keep finding women who will abuse them?Has it ever occurred to these men that they are also screwed up?Both males and females who find themselves repeatedly in punishing and unrewarding relationships suffer from low self-esteem.- FORT WORTH, TEXAS DEAR FORT WORTH: Thanks for the assist.You are right on.Invariably when a relationship hits the rocks, the woman asks herself, \"What did I do wrong?\" I'm pleased to print a letter that points out that in some failed couplings, it is the man who was self-destructive in the relationship.You are right -

But he opted to return his remaining spade.South finessed his nine, losing to West's 10.Knowing South had the remaining spades, West guessed well to switch to the diamond queen.South won with the ace and returned the diamond 10.When West covered with the jack, South happily won with dummy\u2019s king.He was just about to claim when he noticed the diamond blockage.In desperation, declarer tried the club finesse, but it lost.West safely returned a club and South couldn't find nine tricks.As you have noticed, the key play is to let West win the fourth trick with his diamond jack.South must score at least nine tricks via one spade, one heart, five diamonds and two clubs.Watch those spots.Phillip Alder\u2019s new book, \u201cGet Smarter at Bridge,\u201d is available, autographed upon request, for $14.95 from P.O.Boz 169, Roslyn Hts., NY 11577-0169.© 1995 by NEA Inc.TA (3 .Xo] | 94 FARR Wea rwt © 1995 by NEA, Inc.

I have to go.\u201d Rodriguez arrived in Montreal from New York, where the Dodgers were scheduled to face the Mets, shortly before game time and dressed hurriedly at the locker of Roberto Kelly, one of the players Montreal sent to Los Angeles to acquire Rodriguez.Joining Kelly in the trade was Joey Eischen, a left- handed relief prospect.Jeff Treadway, a veteran backup infielder, headed to Montreal to complete the four-player swap.\u201cMy Dad (Julio) always wanted me to play here because he likes Felipe a lot,\u201d Rodriguez said, referring to Expos manager Felipe Alou, who is also a native of the Dominican Republic.\u201cNow I'm here, so let\u2019s play.\u201d Rodriguez was not in the starting limeup against the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night, but he\u2019s going to see regular action at first base.He spent most of his 21 games with the Dodgers this season in left field, but he welcomes the opportunity in Montreal.\u201cI haven\u2019t played first base in a couple of years, but if I play every day, I don\u2019t care where it is,\u201d said Rodriguez, 27, whose defence at first base was described in glowing terms by Expos general manager Kevin Malone.\u201cI've always done well at that position when I've played there.\u201cI'd love to play first base here.\u201d Malone expects Rodriguez, a left-handed batter, to add some balance to the Montreal batting order, which had been top- heavy with right-handed swingers.\u201cI think if he\u2019s somewhere in the middle of our batting order, he'll be a run-producer,\u201d added Malone.Rodriguez had one home run and 10 RBIs in 21 games with the Dodgers.Last year, he had eight homers and 49 RBIs in 306 at-bats.In an exhibition game against the Mets this spring, Rodriguez slammed four homers, two off Bret Saberha- gen and two off Josias Manzanillo.\u201cIt was quite a day,\u201d Rodriguez recalled modestly.The Tuesday trade had various repercussions for the Expos.With Kelly gone, it meant that Rondell White, perhaps the team\u2019s finest prospect, will see regular duty in left field, with Moises Alou moving from right to centre and Tony Tarasco going from left field to right.\u201cI'm sad for Kelly but happy for me,\u201d said White, who's hitting .308 with three homers in only 39 at-bats.\u201cI dreamt about the opportunity to play every day since the start of training camp.\u201cNow I have the opportunity.I hope I'll produce.\u201d The departure of Eischen leaves the Expos without a left- hander in their bullpen.Malone said he expects a roster move involving a pitcher before the end of the current homes- tand, which runs through June 1.\u201cWe're fortunate in that most of our right-handers are able to get out left-handed batters effectively,\u201d added Malone.\u201cBut it (the lack of a left- hander) is something we're going to look at and address if we have to.\u201d Jays use power display to win TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Home runs from their young players and clutch singles from their veterans helped the Toronto Blue Jays overcome the arsonists in their bullpen.Alex Gonzalez hit two homers and had four RBIs, Shawn Green had a homer and two RBIs and Carlos Delgado hit a pinch-hit homer as the Blue Jays beat Kansas City 10-6 Tuesday night.Trailing 6-5, Delgado hit for Randy Knorr in the seventh inning and lifted a rocket off Royals reliever Hipolito Pichardo to tie it 6-6.Two outs later, Pichardo (0-1) ran into all kinds of trouble.Paul Molitor reached on a fielders\u2019 choice and Candy Maldonado singled.Then John Olerud singled Molitor home, Roberto Alomar singled Maldonado home and Green singled Olerud home for a 9-6 lead.Gonzalez\u2019s RBI double in the eighth closed the scoring.Reliever Mike Timlin (2-0) pitched two innings and Darren Hall got his second save as Toronto ended a three-game losing skid.Kansas City walked eight times, stole six bases and got two RBIs from hit batsmen as they rallied from a 5-2 deficit.Bob Hamelin also homered.to go to the mound every day.I still haven\u2019t been exceptionally happy with the way I've pitched.Like tonight, I gave up three walks and I'm trying to cut them down.\u201d Greg Harris, in his first relief appearance since Montreal recalled him from Class AAA Ottawa on Monday, allowed a single by Bip Roberts and Steve Finley's RBI single, slicing the margin to 5-2.Tim Scott relieved and retired the next two batters, although Roberts made it 5-3 by scoring from third on Tony Gwynn\u2019s groundout.The Expos built a 4-1 cushion in the first inning against starter Andy Ashby (2-3).Ashby walked two batters and hit another before Lansing lined his first career grand slam beyond the left-field fence with two outs in the inning.\u201cI was in the same situation (bases loaded) last night with one out and I was kind of peeved off with myself,\u201d said Lansing.\u201cTonight, I wanted to make sure I got the job done.I was looking for a fastball out over the plate with the count 3-1 and that\u2019s what I got.\u201d Moises Alou, mired in a 1-for-20 slump, made it 5-1 with his third homer, connecting on the first pitch after Ashby had retired the first two batters in the third inning.Lansing doubled in the eighth for his third hit and scored the sixth run on Sean Berry\u2019s single.Mel Rojas, who pitched the ninth inning, collected his eighth save despite allowing an unearned run on Roberts\u2019s RBI single.The Padres were denied a run in the fifth, after Roberts\u2019s one-out double scored Ray Hol- bert from first base.But the Expos appealed at second base, claiming Holbert had failed to touch the bag as he rounded the bases.Umpire Scott Potter declared Holbert out, negating the run.Fleurimont hosts softball provincials By Robert Matheson SHERBROOKE \u2014 The Eastern Townships is getting a reputation as a slow pitch softball hotbead.The region that is already home to one of North America\u2019s most important tournaments \u2014 the Yvon (Pif)

17 saves as the Chicago Black- hawks defeated the Vancouver Canucks 2-0 Tuesday night to go up two games to none in the Western Conference semifinals.Jim Cummins scored his first career playoff goal and Patrick Poulin added the third- period clincher for the Black- hawks, who have won 14 of 16 series in team history after winning the first two games.Chicago is 6-0 against the Canucks this season.Vancouver, which plays host to Games 3 and 4 on Thursday Detroit\u2019s DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Led by their biggest stars, the Detroit Red Wings were nearly perfect in a 6-2 triumph over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night.Detroit now has a 2-0 lead in the Western Conference semifinal series, which shifts to San Jose for Games 3 and 4 on Thursday and Saturday.The Red Wings, still smarting about being upset by the Sharks in the first round last season, came out firing as Paul Coffey, Sergei Fedorov, Steve Yzerman and Dino Ciccarelli all scored first-period goals.and Saturday, has lost all seven times in club history after dropping the first two games of a series.The only best-of-seven series in which the Canucks trailed 2-0 was the 1982 Stanley Cup finals, and they ended up getting swept by the New York Islanders.Belfour, who tied for the NHL lead with five shutouts this season, got the second of his playoff career.The other came three years ago during the Blackhawks\u2019 run to the Stanley Cup final.His best save was a diving stick stop of a shot by Geoff Courtnall just moments before Poulin\u2019s breakaway goal at 5:48 of the third period.The standing-room-only crowd of 21,358 cheered loudly about 40 seconds into the game, when Roenick leaped over the boards for his first shift since he hurt his knee April 2.Roenick is a skilled player, the only Blackhawk ever to amass three consecutive 100-point seasons.But his trademarks are intensity and scrappiness, qualities he brought out immediately.Moments after entering the game, he took a hard hit from Russ Courtnall and delivered a harder one to Josek Beranek.At 9:12 of the opening period, he and Sergio Momesso got into a shoving match and both were penalized.Usually a centre, Roenick played left wing on a line with Denis Savard and Tony Amonte.But neither that line nor the other top unit of Bernie Nichol- Is, Joe Murphy and Murray Craven figured in Chicago's scoring.Cummins, the fourth-line left wing who was acquired in a February trade with Tampa Bay, outworked several Canucks to score 13:56 into the game.After a faceoff deep in Vancouver ice, he emerged from a scrum with the puck and passed in front.Both Eric Daze Sports and Jeff Shantz had hacks and Cummins finally scored through a tangle of legs, the puck rolling between goalie Kirk McLean's pads.Ed Belfour.Made 17 saves for shutout.big stars taking bite out of Sharks Fedorov and Doug Brown scored in the second period for a 6-0 lead.Coffey also had an assist, giving him 164 playoff points and tying him with Denis Pot- vin for most playoff points by a defenceman in NHL history.The Sharks ended a season- long scoring drought in Detroit with power-play goals from Mike Rathje and Ulf Dahlen in the third period.Rathje\u2019s goal 6:01 into the period ended a stretch of 232 minutes, 36 seconds without a goal in Joe Louis Arena for the team.The last goal scored by the Canada will host Olympic By Doug Smith TORONTO (CP) \u2014 The Canadian national women\u2019s basketball team will get to play a significant tournament at home next month \u2014 the first major competition on its home turf since the 1976 Montreal Olympics.The five-team qualification tournament for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics will be held June 22-29 at McMaster University in Hamilton.Canada will join Cuba, Argentina, Colombia and the Dominican Republic in vying for two Olympic berths.\u201cIn a four-year cycle, this is the most important tournament because it sets you up for the Olympics,\u201d Rick Traer, Basketball Canada\u2019s executive-director said in an interview from Hamilton.\u201cWe think playing at home will give the women\u2019s team an even better chance to advance.\u201d The teams will play a single round-robin to eliminate one of the five teams.The top four will advance to semifinals with the winners of those games earning spots at the Atlanta Games.Canada failed to qualify for qualifier the 1992 and 1988 Olympics, losing at qualification tournan- ments in Spain and Malaysia, respectively.This year\u2019s event, originally scheduled for Cuba, was moved to the Dominican Republic last month before Canada agreed to act as the host country.The NBA expansion Toronto Raptors and Vancouver Grizzlies have thrown some financial support behind the event.And COPABA, the sport's governing body for North, Central and South America, was convinced to increase a grant that will give Basketball Canada a chance to break even.\u201cWe had to go the extra mile because of what it means to the team and the profile,\u201d said Traer.\u201cThe support from the NBA teams helped significantly.\u201d Basketball Canada came under fire from some members of the women\u2019s team in March month when it decided against a centralized training program in the year leading up to the Olympics.Kathy Shields resigned in protest as head coach, citing the decision not to dip into a reported $350,000 surplus to fund the training camp., Sharks in Detroit was Jamie Baker\u2019s game-winner at 13:25 of the third period in Game 7 of the first round last season.Detroit put tremendous pressure on Sharks goalie Arturs Irbe in the first two periods.Irbe was the architect of San Jose\u2019s seven-game upset in the 1994 series and the Red Wings looked like they couldn\u2019t wait to get at him.Coffey\u2019s goal came just 1:37 into the game and the Red Wings never let up.Detroit had the first nine shots on goal.The Wings out- shot the Sharks 21-8 in the first period, 20-5 in the second and 46-17 for the game.When the Sharks did manage a quality shot, Mike Vernon would turn it away.The Red Wings, who last won a Stanley Cup 40 years ago, have dominated San Jose in 1995.During the abbreviated season, the Red Wings were 4-0 against the Sharks, outscoring them 19-4 and outshooting them 145-67.Two of those games, both in Detroit, were shutouts: one by Vernon and one by Chris Osgood.Detroit and Vernon blanked the Sharks again in Game 1 of this series, winning 6-0 with Wade Flaherty in the San Jose goal.In that game, the Sharks might have been fatigued, playing just 41 hours after a draining double-overtime, first-round, Game 7 victory at Calgary.There was no such excuse this time.This was a No.1-see- ded team playing the way it should \u2014 maybe even better \u2014 against a No.7 seed.Detroit had two power-play goals and one short-handed score.The walk-behinds that leave therest behind With a 5-hp engine, John Deere walk-behind mowers are well aiiead of the competition.Luckily for you, our prices are well within reach, too.NOTHING RUNS LIKE A DEERE\u2019 Lennoxville Magog Richmond Les Equipements Veilleux Ime.Sales ® Parts * Service 9 Queen Street 1969 Sherbrooke Street 1006 Craig Street

900,000 vehicles in Canada for defective seat- belt buckles may sound like a horn-honking victory for safe motoring.But a consumer advocate says the handling of Canada\u2019s biggest ever auto recall also exposes a weakness in the laws that protect consumers from dangerous vehicle defects.The recall affects cars and light trucks produced mainly in Japan between 1986 and 1991, including such popular vehicles as the Honda Accord and Civic, Nissan Sentra and Suzuki Samarai.Chris Wilson, Transport Canada director general of road safety, said the recall is voluntary, although he expected all eight of the affected manufacturers to offer free repairs.Federal law allows the government to take companies to court to force them to notify customers about a recall, Wilson said Tuesday.Still, Transport Canada ulti- RESO [4 Lu mately lacks the power of U.S.authorities to order automakers to fix safety defects, said George Iny, president of the Automobile Protection Association.\u201cAll they can order is that someone send you a letter telling you that your vehicle can injure or kill you,\u201d Iny said from his Montreal office.No fatalities or injuries have been positively linked to the defective belts, which can seem to be latched and then give way, or fail to unlatch.\u201cCompared to exploding gas tanks, it\u2019s a lot less dramatic,\u201d Iny said.\u201cBut in volume, this recall is enormous.\u201d Wilson said Honda and Nissan have led the way in agreeing to recall vehicles with the defective seatbelts.Several other automakers said Tuesday they would do likewise.Some car dealers reported flurries of calls from customers described as concerned but not panicky about the recall.Paul Handa, owner of an \u201989 Honda Civic four-door, said he hasn\u2019t encountered any seat- belt problems although his car is on the recall list.\u201cBut I'm glad they're doing this, in case something happens,\u201d Handa said in Ottawa.Wilson said Transport Canada has received 89 complaints from consumers about the defective belts, which are made by Takata Inc.of Japan.The department started an investigation a year ago, prompting U.S.officials to start their own inquiry several months later.The U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration announced a voluntary recall Tuesday involving more than eight million vehicles.Cars with Takata seat belts: OTTAWA (AP)
