40 cents Canadian airline fuel prices ‘exhorbitantly high’ By David Gersovitz MONTREAL (CP) — Canadian airlines have been slow to get the fuel price cuts they deserve as a result of the drop in world crude prices since last November, says Canadian Pacific Air Lines vice-president Jack Crawford.Crawford, vice-president of finance at CP paid $270 million for jet fuel last year.Fuel is 25 per cent of CP's operating expenses.Coming off a first-quarter loss of $27 million at the airline.Crawford is chafing at how price reductions from Canadian producers have been slow in coming, especially when U.S.prices have dropped farther and faster.•‘We feel that their prices have been exorbitantly high — if you want to call that gouging, so be it," Crawford said in a telephone interview last week from Vancouver.To step up pressure on Canadian suppliers, Vancouver-based CP signed a 10-year agreement last week with Trans Mountain Pipe Line to store jetfuel purchased abroad in a 125,000-barrel tank in Vancouver, and pipe it into that city’s airport.Crawford has also complained about high prices to federal officials, including Energy Minister Pat Carney, as well as a Senate committee.Coincidence or not, in early June CP s suppliers began cutting their prices — by about 35 per cent.CP's deal with Trans Mountain, said Crawford, should help break the monopoly of distribution in Canada held by the major oil companies that helps explain the high prices.“Quite frankly, it forces the refineries to be responsive, because they no longer have full control over the distribution system,’’ he said, adding that CP is trucking cheaper fuel in from the U.S.at major points like Montreal and Toronto.Before prices began to fall, Crawford projected CP's fuel bill for 1986 at over $310 million, although currency exchange rates and the amount of flying done are important components in the equation.Canadian producers were still raising prices in January— as they usually do at that time of year, when jet fuel competes with heating oil for refining capacity Even allowing 60-90 days for the producers to use up stocks of jet fuel refined from crude purchased at high prices, the price for jet fuel in Canada has been too slow coming down, he said.Spot prices abroad for jet fuel fell over 30 per cent not long after crude toppled from $28 U.S.a bar- See FUEL’S, page 2 Pacific-bound peddler backs

are legal and will continue.Manpower Minister Pierre Paradis said Sunday.A coalition of church and welfare groups has demanded that the government stop the visits claiming they violate provisions of the Quebec and Canadian human rights charters which guarantee the right to privacy.The group has threatened to launch a court challenge of the $9-million inspection program aimed at saving the government $68-million a year out of its $2 billion welfare budget.In a radio interview.Paradis said the Quebec justice department has advised him that the visits do not contravene the federal or provincial charters.“We have sent strict orders and we’re doing everything we can to check out any complaints (about the inspectors),” Paradis said.Paradis said complaints have been mainly about the manpower department’s regular welfare inspectors and not the 150 specially-trained inspectors who started work a month ago.Groups working with welfare recipients said last week they’ve been getting complaints that the inspectors threaten to cut off welfare payments unless they’re allowed to carry out detailed room-byroom inspections in the search for evidence of lavish spending.Hansen on final segment HIALEAH, Fla.(AP) — A 28-year-old Canadian paraplegic who has logged 25,400 kilometres during a global wheelchair trip kicked off the final segment of his worldwide journey Sunday.Rick Hansen, who arrived in Miami from Japan on Tuesday, left the Miami suburb of Hialeah for the final 14,600-kilometre stretch that will take him up the east coast of the United States into Newfoundland and then west across Canada to Vancouver.Hansen, of Vancouver, said his goal is to raise the public’s consciousness and show what feats the handicapped are capable of.“The overall goal of this trip is to change people’s attitudes,” the muscular Hansen said.“People do have their abilities.They should do what their abilities allow them to do despite their handicaps.” He began his promotional tour in March, 1985, from Vancouver with the help of dozens of corporate and individual sponsors.Since then, Hansen's crusade has taken him through 32 countries.NEW YORK (AP) — Two pictures distributed by The Associated Press in January and said to show the family of teacher-astronaut Christa McAuliffe reacting to the explosion of the U.S.space shuttle Challenger were erroneously captioned, the news agency said Friday.The captions said the photos showed the family reacting to the explosion.In fact, the pictures were taken after the rocket liftoff but before it exploded, 73 seconds after launchon Jan.28, killing McAuliffe and six other astronauts.The Boston Herald reported in its Thursday editions that the AP photographs were taken before the explosion and made the same charge about a similarly captioned New York Times picture.The Times published an editor's note in its Saturday editions which acknowledged that the picture it published on Jan.29 was made “slightlv before the explosion.” After the story in The Herald appeared, “we reviewed the entire 35mm roll of film shot by photographer Jim Cole and compared each frame to an unedited videotape of the family during the launch,” said Harold Buell, AP’s assistant general manager for newsphotos.“There is no doubt that these two pictures were made during the liftoff and not at the time of the explosion.” Buell said that when the space shuttle lifted off its pad, the AP photographer turned his back to the vehicle, started taking pictures of the family, and continued to do so when the explosion occurred.The film was then processed at Cape Canaveral by AP photo editors.TORONTO (CP) — A man has been charged with theft after $800,000 in unmarked bills disappeared from an armored Brink's truck during the weekend.Gordon Hennebury, 32.of Toron to — who went by the alias Gordon Strickland while working as a part-time Brink's driver for the last six months — was charged Sunday with theft over $1,000 after turning himself in to Metropolitan Toronto Police, said Sgt.Paul Feaver The cash and a company-issued.38-calibre revolver had not been recovered, Sgt.Harold Couch said late Sunday."Editors selected photos showing what appeared to be family members in tears," Buell said."The photographer who took the pictures, in the mistaken belief that they had been taken at the time of the explosion, then wrote a caption saying they showed the family members reacting to the shuttle blowing up.” One of the erroneously captioned pictures showed Grace Corrigan, mother of the teacher-astronaut, looking skyward and appearing to weep on the shoulder of her husband, Edward Corrigan.Their younger daughter.Lisa Bristol, is shown with her eyes closed, her hand to her chest and appearing to cry out.The other erroneously captioned picture showed Mrs.Corrigan holding her right hand to her face with an apparent look of anguish: her daughter had her eyes closed, appeared to be weeping and her hand to her chest.Police issued a provincewide search for the driver of the Brink's Canada Ltd.truck, who was last seen about 5 p.m.Saturday while his partner went to collect money from a McDonald's restaurant in a shopping mall in the Toronto su burb of Etobicoke.The money had come from 27 pickups at local businesses.Only bags containing what Brink’s officials described as “large untraceable bills" had been taken, police said.Bags containing cheques, smaller bills and coins were left in the truck By Rick Gibbons CORK, Ireland (CP) — Police know “precisely” who was responsible for an explosion that ripped through the luggage hold of Air-India Flight 182 one year ago today, killing all 329 people on board, a senior Canadian government official with detailed knowledge of the criminal investigation said Sunday.However, the official, who spoke on condition he not be identified, said investigators so far lack the goods to guarantee criminal prosecution.The official said investigators believed it would be better to prolong the investigation than put their ease to the rigorous criteria of a criminal prosecution in which the suspects might get off.He cited the enormity of the RCMP probe — the biggest in Canadian history — and obstacles created by the international scope of the inquiry for delays in bringing the suspects to justice.For example, he said Japanese laws hinder the transfer of evidence relating to a domestic criminal investigation to foreign police services.Less than an hour before the Air-India jumbo plunged into the North Atlantic 120 nautical miles off the Irish coast, a bomb contained in luggage being unloaded from a CP-Air flight from Vancouver exploded at Tokyo’s Narita airport, killing two people.It was suspected both explosions were caused by the same people and evidence in the Narita explosion is considered crucial to the RCMP probe into the Air-India disaster.SUSPECTS TERRORISTS External Affairs Minister Joe CORK, Ireland (CP) — They mingled, reaquainted themselves with familiar faces and reminisced, but mostly they just wanted to reflect on the cherished memories of their loved ones, whose lives became entangled in a tragic and horrific trail of events one year ago today and whose loss now brought them to this coastal Irish city on a rainy evening in June.Relatives and friends, hospital workers, priests, sailors and others caught up in the events of June 23, 1985 were gathered Sunday for a brief reception on the eve of a memorial service to the 329 people, most of them Canadians, killed when Air-India Flight 182, en route to London from Montreal and Toronto, was blasted from the skies by an explosion 120 nautical miles off the Irish coast.Pictures of children, brothers and fathers were passed among strangers, as the families explained the events which led to their loved ones being on board Flight 182.External Affairs Minister Joe Clark spoke of the “great bond which has been cast by that shared sense of tragedy, that shared sense of grief” among the Canadian, Irish and Indian people in the wake of the disaster.And he recalled the “great sense of shock to us all when the news was heard of a terrorist a«t> that brought down the Air-India flight .” Later Raja Sarangi of Toronto, whose 14 year-old daughter was killed in the crash, said he was both surprised and encouraged by Clark's comments.“Emotionally I was so much re- \ Clark told reporters late Sunday the government is convinced the Air India disaster was the work of terrorists.However, he too alluded to the lack of conclusive proof sufficient to warrant an immediate prosecution."I don't have any proof that it is (terrorism) but we have cone to the conclusion that it was a terrorist act,” he said.“We consider that it was a terrorist act and we are certainly proceeding that way in Canada,” he added.Earlier Clark met for 90 minutes with Indian Foreign Affairs Minister Shri Shiv Shanker but touched only briefly on the ongoing investigation, External Affairs spokesman Sean Brady said.Clark declined to make any comment on the status of the RCMP investigation when speaking with reporters.The two ministers also reviewed efforts to reach agreement on an extradition treaty between the two countries which India is anxious to complete to assist their own efforts in bringing suspected extremists in Canada to justice in India.Clark provided an outline for such a treaty to Indian authorities during a visit to the country in December.The Indians have no proposed modifications and are awaiting a Canadian response.Both ministers will address today’s memorial services marking the first, anniversary of the Air-India tragedy along with Irish Foreign Minister Peter Barry.Clark obtained agreement from his counterparts Sunday to allow representatives of victims’ families to take an active role in the service.lieved to finally hear from Mr.Joe Clark that it was a terrorist act,” he said Urva Shi of Detroit came to Cork as did her mother from New Delhi to mourn the loss of her brother, Adarsh Bhagat She said she was heartened by the spontaneous outpouring of sympathy from the Irish and Canadian people in the after-math of the disaster but said Canadian authorities have failed to do enough to ensure those responsible for the crash are brought to justice.“They’ve done enough to extend their courtesies and help us with our grief, but have not done enough to catch the people involved,” she said.“Ask anybody in this place and I'm sure they’ll tell you if they saw the guy responsible right here they’d tear him apart,” said an angry Jatinder Bhardwas of Toronto whose 19-year-old brother Harish was among the victims.Indian and Irish officials spent the weekend greeting planes as they arrived at Cork airport carrying the groups of relatives and friends from India and Canada.In many cases they were the familiar faces of those who made a similar trek to the city in the panic-filled days following the disaster to identify the battered remains of bodies recovered from the waters amidst the floating bits of shattered air-heraftxlebris which marked the di-Tsastef site '• Some relatives spent Sunday visiting Cork County Regional Hospi-tal where they had spent long anxious days last year awaiting autopsies and word on identification.Hand over nuggets or Ronald McDonald gets it DOVER TOWNSHIP, N.J.(AP) — A seven-foot plastic statue of Ronald McDonald swiped from a McDonald’s restaurant is being held for ransom in an elaborate plot complete with anonymous letters and photographs of the, uh, victim.The abductors aren’t after just chickenfeed.They want 8,891 chicken McNuggets."It’s that time of year when all the high schools are getting out; it might have something to do with that," police Sgt.Thomas Goode said Saturday.He added that Ocean County College is nearby.“This is the biggest thing to happen around here all year; nobody’s ever done this down here,” he said.Police said two men walked in-tn McDonald's, removed the statue and simply walked out the door June 6, just before closing time.Nine days later, manager Alve-na Baeli found a ransom note attached to the back door.It said: “Don’t you wish your Ronald McDonald was replaced?If so place 8,891 nuggets at 886 3rd ' Ave., New York, N Y.Don’t forget the sauce, or he gets it.” The address is nonexistent.The message was made up of words cut out of newspapers and handwritten letters, and contained misspellings, police said Later, employees discovered, attached to the back door, a photograph of the statue with a gag around its mouth."It’s pretty funny,” Goode said.“The manager doesn't think it’s funny.He was ticked." Part-time Toronto Brink’s driver arrested for theft Air India one year later: Canadians have failed to do enough 2—The RECORD—Monday, June 23, 1986 Booksellers talk freer trade: Will it result in lost Canadiana?By Dave Lang VANCOUVER (CP) - Book sellers are divided on whether a freer trade agreement with the United States will be a boom or a bust for the Canadian publishing industry.A forum on freer trade and book publishing was held Sunday in conjunction with the annual convention of the Canadian Booksellers Association.The four panelists represented three publishing companies and one major bookstore chain.Bill Ardell, president of Coles, one Canada’s largest book retailers, said a comprehensive freer trade agreement with the United States could kill Canada’s “already tiny” publishing industry.“It would result in an involuntary death spin from which (the industry) would not recover,” Ardell said.“It would mean lost jobs, lost culture, lost Canadiana.” He said Canadian children would never know their heritage if the book publishing industry is not protected.But Wally Matheson, president of Prentice-Hall Canada, who des- PM’s expense account would buy lots of stew cribed himself as an “unabashed free trader,” said freer trade would help, not hinder Canadian publishing.He told the audience of about 150 that cultural sovereignty belongs to the people, authors and writers, not to book publishers, and protection for cultural soverignty amounts to an attack on culture be cause the main purpose of protection is to deny people free choice.TRADE CULTURE Matheson said culture should be on the bargaining table of freer trade talks.“I’m sick and tired of this total inferiority (complex) that exists between the United States and Canada,' ’ on the subject of culture, he said.Anna Porter, the publisher of Key Porter Books said some Canadian publishers fear a free trade agreement will allow huge U.S.competitors to swallow up their Canadian counterparts.“We’re not trying to stop U.S.voices from coming in, we just want to have our voices heard," she said.The fourth panelist, Peter M ayer of Penguin Books, said the Canadian book industry can survive if Canadian booksellers buy more from domestic publishers and if Canadians make major investments in publishing.“Conrad Black ought to be investing in Canadian book publishing instead of British newspapers,” he said.The panelists agreed the federal government made a mistake in applying a tariff on U.S.books in retaliation for an American tariff on Canadian cedar shakes and shingles.Columnist Allan Fotheringham the panel moderator, said no one in the federal cabinet was looking after the interests of booksellers when the tariff was applied because Prime Minister Mulroney was grooming Communications Minister Marcel Masse for the Industry portfolio.He said Masse was “in the sprinter’s blocks” for the Industry job when the tariff decision was made and as a result, “there really wasn't anyone minding the store” for Canadian booksellers.News-in-brief By Kathryn Young OTTAWA (CP) — If St.Brigid’s Soup Kitchen and Hostel were in Paris, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his 54-member entourage could have been fed and housed for free during his six-day visit for the francophone summit last February.Of course, he and his wife, Mila, would have slept on plastic-covered mattresses in dormato-ries and dined on stew and canned peas with a doughnut for dessert, if someone thought to donate some.But they would have saved Canadian taxpayers just over half a million dollars.Instead, the Mulroneys stayed in the Plaza Athenée near the Champs Elysée for $4,754 a night (breakfast included), ate Russian caviar and rode in chauffeur-driven rented cars — much to the disgust of opposition MPs who raised a ruckus in the Commons all last week about the bills.But down at St.Brigid’s, under the shadow of Parliament Hill on a street running off Sussex Drive where Mulroney lives, the 100 or so men who get free meals and a clean bed each day are only amused by all fuss about the prime minister’s spending habits — if they pay attention to it at all.“They just laugh at it,” Margaret Ann Llanos, a volunteer at St.Brigid’s, said about the political antics that top the evening news or become front page news stories.“They may see it and then just laugh at it,” she said.Yet Llanos avoided giving an estimate of how many groceries $520,024.17 would put in the near-empty food storage room in the basement of St.Brigid’s Roman Catholic church.If the men read newspapers, they look at the job ads, then flip to the crime news because it may involve a friend, said Llanos, a kindly, gray-haired woman who quit her job at Christmas to work at St.Brigid’s full time.When the television set is wheeled into the dining hall during evening drop-in hours, Knowlton Nash and Lloyd Robertson — anchormen on the CBC and CTV news — hardly ever form the men’s entertainment.“Only if they’re on,” said Llanos with a smile, explaining that if a TV crew comes to St.Brigid’s to shoot some footage, the men will gather round the set to catch a glimpse of themselves.“But otherwise news is not very popular here.” She says society has taught the poor to be apathetic about helping themselves, for not even worrying why they have to live on the streets or come to St.Brigid’s for a decent meal, a shower, clean clothes and a sterilized bed.So they are not likely to worry about what politicians are doing, she said during the afternoon break between the lunch and dinner rushes.“Occasionally if you talk to them about it, they mouth off but they really wouldn’t do, most of them, anything about it.“To them, I’ve begun to realize that, news and things like that, is a privilege of the middle class.To worry about pollution, to worry about the arms race, to worry about nuclear war, this is a privilege of the rich to worry about.“Because (when you’re poor) all your energies are taken up in survival, which is understandable.” Llanos says she doesn’t know if politicians will ever think about the poor in anything other than dollars and cents.“I’ve been fighting the system now for so long and I really haven’t made much of a dent,” she said, fingering the gold cross around her neck.When Llanos turns to her religion for comfort but it’s a religion tempered with a healthy dose of realism “Prayer is beautiful and I couldn’t do without it but I still feel I have to do an awful lot of leg work too,” she said with a laugh.“I can’t say leave it in the hands of God because I think God works through us.” Fuel’s spot price may fall Continued from page 1 rel.Crude dipped as low as $9 in late winter, and stabilized in the $13-$14 range.Crawford said the spot price of jet fuel is expected to fall another five to 10 per cent.Fuel is still significantly cheaper in the United States because of lower base prices — 10 to 15 per cent lower — and lower taxes, he said.During the Arab oil boycott of the 1970s, American airlines flying into Canada used to arrive with near-empty tanks and fly out with the gas gauge at full.Now, the reverse is true.Where possible, they leave for Canada with enough fuel for a round trip, and don’t buy a drop in this country.With the new storage arrangement in Vancouver, Canadian Pacific can minimize the impact of winter increases by buying fuel abroad if it’s cheaper and have it trucked, shipped or barged into CP’s tank at the Trans Mountain facility.It raises many other possibilities, says Crawford, like joining with other carriers in purchasing fuel abroad to get increased buying muscle.Air Canada appears less outraged by the fuel situation, perhaps because its basic price —exclusive of taxes — declined by an average of 37 per cent between January and the end of April.Air Canada is also buying fuel in the U.S.and trucking it to Canada, as well as topping off the tanks of aircraft stopping in the U.S., said Walter Ekiert, that airline's director of petroleum administration.Ekiert speculated that CP has had more problems because it had a contract with a single supplier — Imperial Oil Ltd.—

duty.Professional freedom guaranteed?TORONTO (CP) — As a strike by Ontario doctors drags on, Premier David Peterson says his Liberal government is prepared to guarantee in law the “professional freedoms” of physicians.His remarks come as an unknown number of doctors continue their walkout well into a second week in protest against legislation passed Friday outlawing billing of patients above medicare rates.Lainson new Socred leader TORONTO (CP) — Canada’s newest national political leader has that certain confidence that comes from believing in the absolute infallibility of his own point of view.For Harvey Lainson, a 50-year-old evangelical minister who was elected Saturday as leader of the Social Credit Party of Canada, the next federal election will not be a test of his tattered party so much as it is a measure of the common sense and morality of Canadians.Princess Anne in Ontario TORONTO (CP) — Small but enthusiastic crowds turned out Sunday for Princess Anne’s official

education programs to prevent child abduction, and, more important, in assisting the investigation of cases, Arthur Morin said Sunday.“I believe a private foundation would have more freedom to operate than a police force,” he said.Homeless are getting younger Commonwealth could split apart WINNIPEG (CP) - The lines of the destitute are becoming younger and longer, says a spokesman for the Salvation

collapsed EDMONTON (CP) — Mediation to end the Gainers Inc.meat-packing strike collapsed Sunday when inquiry board chairman A1 Dubensky stormed out of a closed-door meeting with union officials.Accusing the union of suddenly changing its bargaining position, Dubensky said he will focus on making recommendations to Alberta Labor Minister Ian Reid on how the three-week-old strike should be resolved.Reid established the board June 11 to investigate the dispute, which has been marked by picket-line violence and more than 300 arrests.Most of the arrests have been for violating injunctions limiting the number of pickets.Unemployment hurts the family EDMONTON (CP) — High unemployment and social conditions are taking a tragic toll on Al berta lamilies, says Edmonton family

payments from his former wife.Smouldering charcoal cooled NORTH PERRY, Ohio (AP) — Workers at the Perry Nuclear Power Plant slowly cooled three tonnes of smouldering charcoal in a gas-treatment system Sunday, two days after officials declared an “unusual event.” The plant, located on the south shore of Lake Erie, about 60 nautical miles south of Port Stanley.Ont., was not operating when the charcoal began smouldering at 11:45 a.m.Friday after a test of the plant’s filtering system, said Bill King of Cleveland Electric Illuminating Co.CORK, Ireland (CP) — Threats the Commonwealth could split apart because of differences over the need to impose sanctions against South Africa are real and may require an act of courage and political leadership by British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher if a rift is to be averted, said External Affairs Minister Joe Clark Sunday.Britain's continued opposition to the use of economic and political sanctions to force the white-minority government in South Africa into abolishing its policy of apartheid has sparked threats by several countries to withdraw from the Commonwealth.Druids at Stonehenge AMESBURY, England (AP) — About 50 sunworshipping Druids gathered for a summer solstice ceremony early Saturday on a road beside Stonehenge, but police kept them from the 4,000-year-old archeological site.The Druid ceremony was held without incident, but the sunrise was hidden by clouds and many of the white-robed participants shivered in the cold wind.The Druids traditionally gather at the stone monument on June 21, the longest day of the year.Spanish Socialists win second MADRID (AP) — The Socialist party retained its absolute majority in Spain’s parliamentary elections Sunday despite the loss of 18 seats, which a party official blamed partly on 22-percent unemployment.The vote assured Premier Felipe Gonzalez of a second four-year term.The charismatic Gonzalez, 44, called the elections four months early as a vote of confidence after a March referendum that reaffirmed Spain's membership in NATO.The Socialists won 184 seats in the 350-seat lower house of parliament.Marcos supporters demonstrate MANILA (AP) — Riot police and soldiers fi-, ring tear gas, water cannons and guns clashed Sunday with about 5,000 rock-throwing supporters of Ferdinand Marcos, the deposed president of the Philippines.The clashes

in E.T.residential mortgage market By Craig Pearson SHERBROOKE — It will be easier for homeowners to get mortgage loans in the coming year once a planned $5 million — specifically for mortgages — is injected into the Sherbrooke-area economy, says Sherbrooke Trust president Maurice Myrand.At a press conference Friday, Sherbrooke Trust and La Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec made public a joint-venture agreement whereby they will make the $5 million available in mortgages to those planning to buy a house with eight rooms or less.The deal is simple.The Caisse de dépôt has put up the amount for anybody Sherbrooke Trust decides is suitable for a mortgage loan.This, says Myrand, will cover mortgages for roughly 200 dwellings in the city area.Sherbrooke Trust makes a commission on the loans and the Caisse de dépôt gets the interest on them.And Myrand says the more money put into the economoy for a specific purpose, the easier — and the less costly — it is for an individual to get a mortgage.$45 MILLION IN 86 The $5 million itself is not a significant increase in the Quebec mortgage market.For example, the Sherbrooke Trust itself loaned approximately $26 million for mortgages in 1985, according to its most recent financial report.My- rand said the 1986 total is expected to reach $45 million.Banks and caisse populaires (cooperatively-owned credit unions) lend money for mortgages as well.But both the Ul-year-old Sherbrooke Trust and the Caisse de dépôt.which is the pension fund for Quebec government, para-public and some other workers, are quick to point out the amount is only a start.The $5 million they decided upon is for the first six months of the agreement, which will likely become operative sometime this year.Myrand says the amount will grow to $10 million in a year and should continue expanding at the same rate.But the amount is a minimum, he adds.THERE WILL BE MORE1 “If we want more money there will be more money.” He says all Sherbrooke Trust has to do is ask and Caisse de dépôt will more than likely accommodate it.Myrand said the aisse de dépôt et placement du Québec is too large for the average consumer.“They were doing big loans,” he said."They were not equipped to do small loans.” The Caisse de dépôt, one of Cana-da's biggest investment funds, holds roughly $13.7 billon worth of assets.Myrand feels Sherbrooke Trust will do better at finding customers for the loan money because it is more used to dealing with individuals.Previously, Sherbrooke Trust was mostly involved with settling estates and managing other people's money though it has been acting as mortgage loan-agent for Caisse de depot in the Eastern Townships, outside of Sherbrooke, for 13 years, Myrand said.Sherbrooke Trust holds about $129.3 million worth of assets and is one of the few' locally originated financial institutions left in the Eastern Townships.SOUGHT SOLID' PARTNER Caisse president Jean Campeau said the pension fund "was looking for a solid financial organization well rooted in its milieu." The deal with “the dynamic” Sherbrooke Trust “should allow us to increase our residential mor- tgage portfolio, which represents about 2 per cent of our business, in the Sherbrooke area." Campeau said he expects otheh deals between the Caisse de dépôt and Sherbrooke Trust."This is the beginning of something bigger; we could associate on other projects as well." Mayor Jean-Paul Pelletier said the city of Sherbrooke has seen unprecedented growth in real estate development in recent years, ije said the city had issued building permits worth $18 million in 1982.$40 million in 1983, $51 million in 1984 and $64 million in 1985.Pelletier said that with $48 million in permits issued in the firk't five months this year.1986 may be the year the total hits $100 million.Help, hospital stay highlight cross-Canada ride by Cowansville scooter COWANSVILLE (JM) — Arnold Raymond loves scouting but he feels Canadians aren't playing too much attention to the traditions passed on by Lord Baden-Powell.He hopes to create new interest in the movement as well as boosting cubs and scouts.Raymond set out from Cowansville on June 20, on the second leg of his cross-country bicycle tour.He intends ending up at Expo '86.Raymond is a leader of Cowans-ville’s 17 boy scouts.His bike and 180 lb.trailer were shipped to Newfoundland to start the cross-Canada trip.He found folks on the “Rock” were mightly helpful just in getting him set-up and under way from St.John’s as he headed for Port aux Basques.The trailer has a 10 lb.draw-bar weight.Local residents became more helpful as time went by: axle trouble and a call on his CB one day brought a response from Gander.Soon a Day & Ross rig picked him up and took the trailer to Port aux Basques.Raymond hiked on to Corner Brook and word had preceded his arrival by CB or bush telegraph.He went out have a “Big Mac" and was given a ride on a flat bed to the harbor.SADLY-BENT WALLET Vehicle drivers must pay $41.50 for the seven-hour crossing to Cape Breton Island.Raymond was looking at a sadly bent wallet at the ferry dock when good fortune shone again.A Day & Ross driver whose truck was empty offered to load bike and trailer so all he had to pay was passenger fare to North Sidney.N.S.Raymond pedalled down to Halifax, back to Pictou and took the ferry from Caribou N.S.to Wood Island.P E L He rode in steady rain, almost a downpour, that had followed him almost everywhere he went in the Maritimes.Bearing in mind his promise not to bicycle at night, he literally pushed his way into Charlottetown.Back on the mainland he decided to seek shelter in a concrete culvert only to be woken by the long arm of the law.Raymond’s impromptu hotel turned out to be in the immediate area of the maximum security Dorchester N.B., penitentiary.An RCMP officer told him of a rest area not too far away where he could rest quietly.HOSPITALIZED Then he headed on to Saint John where the rain that had been sloshing around in his rubber boots led to a stay in hospital.Once recovered, he let Via Rail do the driving for a while.He nd his gear arrived in Sherbrooke by train then he made his way home here by leg and pedal locomotion.Raymond was pleased with the reception he received in the Maritimes, estimating he met between 70 and 80 per cent of all the scouting and cub groups on his route.He also lauded the co-operation of the police.“The first thing I did was go to them and show them my itinerary and planned distances.I also told them 1 phoned home at regular intervals so my parents would know more or less where to reach me." Now it’s time to head west towards the rising sun.Raymond averages 10 miles per hour over a 10 hour day, all on dual lane highways, and is financing the trip on his own.Any donations are accepted, however the assistant troop-leader is more interested in promoting the boy-scout move- ment than in any monetary gain.DUNHAM, CORNWALL, WEST Friday Arnold Raymond was off to Dunham, heading next for Cornwall, Ottawa, Peterborough, and Toronto, round the rim of Lake Superior, through the Prairies, The Rockies, and then to the Paci fic.He said he couldn't wait to dip his feet in the western ocean but wouldn't make any hard and fast predictions on when he would arrive at his goal.Apparently the axle problems have been solved and as for any other troubles Raymond might encounter, he recalled: “A scout must be resourceful in all circumstances.” Reimer Express and R.P.R Transport will bring his bike and trailer back east at no charge, proving they are corporate “good scouts”.Raymond will fly home.Arnold Raymond.Must be 'Resourceful in all circumstances.’ Six Brome Lake police head for hearings in latest round of brutality charges By John McCaghey COWANSVILLE - Preliminary hearings for three active and three former Brome Lake police officers charged with 21 criminal acts between 1979 and 1983 will be held here in October.All six entered no pleas at their arraignments; their lawyers elected jury trial.The charges were laid following a closed pré-enquete heard by Sherbrooke Provincial Court Judge Yvon Roberge.Former chief Alyre Thireau and Const.Denis Brazeau are charged with assaulting James Frizzle in Knowlton on Feb.3, 1979.Const.Pierre Laplante and former Const.Mario Beaumont are charged with assaulting and illegally confining Brian Locke in Brome Lake on Sept.21, 1981.Thireau, Brazeau, and former Const.Paul Roy are charged with the assault and illegal confinement of Jerry Anderson and Randy Lace in the Foster sector of Brome Lake on Oct.23, 1981.Thireau and Const.Peter Stone are charged with assaulting Denis Larocque in Knowlton and Sutton, confining him illegally and possessing stolen goods belonging to Larocque in an amount exceeding $200 in Sutton on May 18, 1983.In a case which came to light earlier, Thireau, Beaumont, and Roy were cited to jury trial following a preliminary hearing which ended on April 23, on charges of aggravated assault on David Allen Gauthier in Brome Lake on March 1, 1982.Superior Court Justice Pierre Body is expected to hand down his decision on a motion by defence la- - w -0Ê i&i wWÊËfS, Flying The wind may have been irregular at times, hut avid sports enthusiasts, like this one, were busy all over the Townships on the weekend.townships talk COWANSVILLE (JM) — Jean Boileau and Pierre Rousseau, both of Granby, were shown the clemency of the court.The young men pleaded guilty to a charge of theft of a radio valued at $250 from the IBM plant in Bromont.Daniel Lavallée told the court Boileau worked for a firm doing business at IBM, saw the radio, took it home then brought it back when he was caught red-handed.He said Boileau, who had no prior record, lost his job and was planning on going back to school.He suggested the image of justice wouldn’t be tarnished with an absolute discharge.Daniel Giard, who represented Bedford man pleads guilty COWANSVILLE (JM) — Bruce Crandall Jr., 18, of Bedford, pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy to commit a crime and robbery with violence in Bedford on Jan.17, 1986.Defence lawyer André Bachand requested preparation of a presentence report and Judge Claude Le veillé said he would sentence the man Aug.29.Norman Bertrand, also of Bedford, pleaded guilty to the same charges when former Bedford Mayor Donat Pateneaude was struck with a blunt wooden object as the duo tried to steal his cash after he had left his shoe store The mayor, despite his advancing age, resisted and the duo fled empty handed.Bertrand, who had been freed pending sentencing on other charges of assault and breach of probation orders before the Pateneaude incident, was sentenced to three years imprisonment by Le-veillé.Rousseau, pointed out his client was an accessory after the fact, and should Boileau benefit from the absolute discharge so should Rousseau.Crown attorney Henry Key-serlingk made no objection and Judge Claude Leveillé handed down the absolute discharges.COWANSVILLE (JM) - Wayne McCoy, of Cowansville, originally charged with theft and receiving stolen goods, pleaded guilty to a charge of trespassing at night when the Crown withdrew the original counts.“We later determined he was only sleeping in the car, not trying to steal it,” Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk commented.McCoy was fined $50 and costs, in default to eight days in jail.I v wyers Ronald Picard and Ronert Falhiff within the next week.Picard, who represents Thireau, and Flahiff, who represents Beaumont, claimed Judge Joseph A.Mendelson erred in law when he cited the men to trial before voluntary statement.Voluntary statement allows the defendants the opportunity of presenting evidence which could lead to a dismissal of the charges.Judge Mendelson realized the error and had the voluntary statement form read to the men when their lawyers informed the court they had no witnesses to offer nor anything to say at that stage.Crown attorney Michel Ayotte, who handled the Gauthier case, informed the defence that Claude Melancon would act for the Crown and that he had been assured of the presence of an out of district judge for Oct.6 to 10 and Oct.17.Picard told Provincial Court Judge Claude Leveille that although he had elected jury trial for Thireau, he reserved the right to object to the alleged charges before preliminary hearing.Picard did not spell out his intentions, but he may object to the nine year de- lay in filing of some of the accusations.Lawyer Conrad Chapdeleine appeared for Stone and Brazeau, la-, wyer Daniel Giard for Roy, and lawyer Richard Shadley for Laplante.Shadley is no newcomer in defending members of the Brome Lake Police.He represented Léo Garie-py Jr., in the 1970s when Gariepy was charged with first degree murder in the shooting death of Tommy Taylor.An 11 man one women jury found Gariepy guilty of manslaughter and he was sentenced to eight years in prison.Quick work by police, watchful neighbors net two in Galt Street grocery store hold-up SHERBROOKE — The sharp eyes and ears of neighborhood residents and quick police work led to the arrest of two men only hours after the gunpoint robbery of a Galt Street convenience store early Monday.Police say the two men will be charged with armed robbery when they appear in Sessions Court today.At about 11 p.m.Sunday, Jean-Paul Grandmaison was getting ready to close up the Épicerie et accomodation J.P.G.Liée he and his wife Ghislaine own and operate at 3016 Galt west.A masked man armed with what appeared to be a pistol came in the door and threatened Grandmaison with the gun, demanding the money in the cash register.Grandmaison gave the man $792.The robber then fled “running like a deer” towards the Magog River nearby, the victim told police.“A bit later a man was seen by a resident, jumping over a backyard fence on Delorme Street not far from the scene,” said Sherbrooke police Lieut.Camille Vachon.“Then some people heard a noise in the woods down by the river.” “Our patrolmen then went into the woods and found some money and some clothes, and a bit further on they found one suspect.” “Some other citizens had reported seeing two men loitering on a motorcycle near the store before the hold-up,” Vachon continued."Our men found a man on a motorcycle in the area and arrested him.That was the second suspect.” Vachon said police turned up, $766, apparently from the stolen loot, and a starter’s pistol likely , used in the hold-up.The two young men arrested were held overnight in cells and will appear today to be charged '• with armed robbery.Two children, two motorcyclists die on weekend after four separate accidents SHERBROOKE — Four Eastern Townships residents died over the weekend as a result of accidents.Three died in traffic accidents while a fourth was killed when a farm tractor tipped over on her.Two of the four were children using motor vehicles ; the other two were motorcycle riders.EAST ANGUS A motorcyclist was killed late Thursday in a collision on Angus Street south in East Angus.Dead is Gaston Lecours, 26.of Fleurimont.He died instantly when his motorcycle collided with an automobile.DRUMMONDVILLE A second motorcyclist was killed Saturday evening in a collision on Lemire Blvd.in Grantham West.Dead is Gérald Biron, 21, of Grantham West.He died instantly when his motorcycle hit a car stopped in the roadway waiting to make a turn.Biron was hurled into the air by the force of the impact and hit two parked cars nearby.Biron had been racing through the streets with a second motorcyclist, who received minor injuries seconds earlier when his bike went out of control in the same spot.WINDSOR TOWNSHIP A 15-year-old boy died in hospital late Thursday from injuries received in a collision between two three-wheel all-terrain recreational' vehicles Saturday June 14.Dead is Daniel St-Amour, of Windsor.He died at the Sher- brooke University hospital centré (CHUS) following a crash last weekend in which the three-wheeler he was driving collided with another in the woods near Range 14 of Windsor Township.ST-CHRISTOPHE D’ARTHA-BASKA A 10-year-old girl was killed Friday when the tractor she was riding on tipped over and rolled into a roadside ditch.Dead is Milaine Simoneau, of St-Christophe d'Arthabaska.She was killed instantly when the tractor, driven by her 12-year-old sister Annie, broke through the shoulder of Route 161 and rolled over into the ditch, crushing her to death.Annie was seriously injured.Alibi no good; man convicted in Bolton Centre COWANSVILLE (JM) — It appears certain Alex Martin won’t be celebrating Independence Day on July 4.Martin, 40, of Granby, appeared for judgment Friday on a charge of breaking and entering and theft of a television set from a house in Bolton Centre on Nov.19, 1985."You were seen by a person who happened to catch you in the act and your alibi is contrary to what you told the police,” Judge Guy Ge-nesttold Martin.“You said you looked for your car in Waterloo for three hours the day of the crime, were often within one or two hundred feet of the municipal police station, but waited three hours to report that it was stolen You are guilty as charged.” Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk and defence lawyer Daniel Lavallée agreed that repre- sentation on sentencing be heard l July 4, and Lavallée renounced Ï Martin's rights to a preliminary Ï hearing on another charge of brea- v.king and entering, theft, and rob- ’ bery with violence in West Bolton ! earlier this year.Martin wasonpa- Î role following a five year sentence

Eastern Townships since 1897 Editoria ¦¦v I I s I Facing the music A year after Air India Flight 182 plunged out of the sky into the ocean near Cork, Ireland, there are strong indicators that the person or persons responsible for the crash will be prosecuted for their deed.An unidentified Canadian government official said Sunday the government knows who is responsible for the bombing and is slowly but surely building the case to prosecute him.Slowly and surely are the key words here.Albeit hindered by the international scope of the investigation, the RCMP stands a very good chance of bringing the perpetrator to justice.Although it may be too little too late for the families of the victims and doubtless the impact of the crash will haunt them for life, the news that someone will eventually be prosecuted is a sign that society is ready to express its collective abhorence of the deed.Some may say those left behind will never be properly compensated for their loss (they have received little support from the government) but for the Canadian government not to pursue every avenue possible to see justice done would be irresponsible.Terrorists must know they are not welcome in Canada.They must realize that if they do show up with a mind to fight here disputes sparked elsewehere, they can and will be prosecuted.To ignore the spectre of terrorist activities would be to ignore a world-wide phenomena and leave Canadians, like the innocent ones aboard that plane, open to fire from all comers.Needless to say, they are all out there.That is why for the first time in Canadian history, a special armed RCMP squad is being trained and readied for further onslaughts.It is perhaps an unfortunate trend, a challenge to Canada’s ideals of a just society.But like the Americans and British, preserving and protecting that society means fighting terrorists on their own terms.It does not mean Canada is ignoring its role as a world mediator or is taking steps backward as a nation that encourages minorities to feel at home, it just means the country is growing up and is facing the music.PHILIP AUTHIER Bruce Levett Rites of spring Somebody once said, “what this country needs is a good five-cent cigar.” Nonsense.What this country needs — and may be on the road to getting — is a good one-page income tax return form.Up to now, the general philosophy among the tax-paying public has been “well, I don’t understand it but I’ve done my best and if I’ve messed up it’s up to the government to unmess it.” The government heaves a sigh and dutifully gets to work sorting out your crowtracks and hieroglyphics, does ITS best, and mails back the corrected result.Not any more, if the Revenue Department has its way.There is an experiment on in British Columbia which, if it works, may be extended across the land by 1988.Persons whose tax situation is fairly straightforward would get a one-page form asking such questions as “what is your income?” and “how many children have you?” (Now.anybody with half an eye should be able to read his T-4 slip to determine income, or to count the kids if they would only settle down and stand still.) The form goes to the government, which bangs it into the old computer and out comes a bill or a refund, as the case may dictate.What a far cry from what we have now — an 84-page package of instructions, forms and tax tables which, annually, sends most of us whimpering to H.and R Block et freres.RITE OF SPRING Many of us have looked upon the arrival of income tax time as a rite of spring.Get this little chore behind you and nothing that can happen for the rest of the year can be half bad.It was a challenge in togetherness, really, to sit — all ink-stained at the dining-room table — to plumb the mysteries that lay before you.“No-no, dear.I think eight-and-two is 10, not 110.” “Forgive me.I mis printed.Where the heck is line 015?” “Why do you need line 015?” “Because, dammit, it says here that there should be a figure on line 015 which, carried forward into this little box, is to be subtracted by my hat-size therefrom!” “I don’t think that’s proper English.Besides, you do not wear a hat.” “In that case, I am allowed to divide my shoe size by the square root of my Jockey shorts.” “You don’t have to shout.” “I AM NOT SHOUTING!” All this, of course, leads to a gentle suggestion from HER that SHE have a go at it.This you cannot allow.If she gets you a larger refund than the one YOU had figured out, chances are she’ll want some of it.In any case, she’ll be insufferable for days.On the other hand, if the old relationship can survive the April onslaught, then it’s obvious that it’s based on solid rock.You know — with a one-page form, the spice of life may diminish a bit at that Air India crash made Canadians face reality LONDON (CP) — On a sunny Sunday morning high above the North Atlantic, a Canadian boy waited excitedly for his promised visit to the cockpit of the jumbo jet taking him to visit relatives in India.The pilot, recorded on the cockpit monitor, had just established radio contact with air traffic control in Shannon, Ireland, and told the steward to bring the boy forward in a “few minutes.” At 8:14 a.m., Sunday, June 23,1985, a terrorist bomb snuffed out the promise.The blast killed all 329 people aboard Air-India Flight 182, a Boeing 747 christened Kanishka after an ancient Indian god.Most died instantly but some survived the 10-kilometre plunge to the dark water 120 nautical miles off the Irish coast.Two hundred and seventy-nine were Canadians, many of Indian descent.The explosion also blasted Canadians out of any cosy illusion that they were somehow exempt from international terrorism, setting off a chain of events that is still unfolding.Once-lackadaisical security at Canadian airports has been tightened stiffly.And the Sikh community is closely watched, with 16 members of the sect facing charges ranging from possession of explosives to plotting acts of terrorism in India.DEDICATE MEMORIAL While a memorial to the dead will be dedicated Monday on the anniversary of the disaster, one year later the full story has yet to be told.What is known is that scarcely an hour before Kanishka went down, on the other side of the world, another 390 unsuspecting passengers aboard a CP Air jet had touched down safely at Na-rita airport in Tokyo — after riding across the Pacific with a bomb in the cargo hold.As Japanese baggage handlers picked up a grey suitcase from the orange jumbo to transfer it to an Air-India flight to Bombay, the bomb detonated, killing two of the handlers and wounding four others.The world’s deadliest terrorist attack against a civil airliner narrowly missed being a double hit in what would become the worst-ever year both in terrorist casualties and air safety.Paul Koring Sabotage — and Canadian Sikh extremists campaigning for a separate homeland in the Indian province of Punjab — were instantly suspected.Yet a huge air-sea rescue off the Kerry coast found only shattered bodies and bits of floating wreckage.And after an inquest in Ireland, a judicial inquiry in India and Canada’s big-gest-ever police investigation, there is still no smoking gun.STARTED JOURNEYS But overwhelming circumstantial evidence, with repeated security lapses along the way, leads to an airport check-in counter at Vancouver, where both bombs are believed to have started their journeys.Suspicion focuses on two suitcases checked in by passengers listed as M.Singh and L.Singh on Saturday, June 22.One of the Singhs was booked on CP Air Flight 003 headed for Tokyo and the other on CP 60 to Toronto and both held connecting tickets for Air-India flights.Interline tags, which instruct ground crew to automatically transfer bags to connecting flights, were affixed to both cases.Yet neither man boarded the planes in Vancouver.A CP Air agent later recalled M.Singh as a well-dressed “jerk” in his 30s who argued when she refused to check through his bag on the connecting flight.Finally, with the check-in line lengthening on a busy morning, the agent relented even though M.Singh lacked the required confirmed reservation on the connecting plane — Air-India Flight 182 leaving from Toronto.At the Toronto airport, guards un- der contract from Burns International Security Service to screen Air-India baggage missed the bomb — possibly because an X-ray machine had broken down and the guards were using an explosives sniffer that the RCMP later described as "useless.” SECURITY FLAWED Flight 182 lifted off late for a short hop to Mirabel airport in Montreal to take on more passengers.There, .three suitcases were held up when suspicious images showed on the X-ray machine.But if the machines worked, security procedures failed.Air-India personnel allowed the aircraft to leave Montreal despite the scare over the three suitcases and without checking with their departed owners.The massive explosion ripped through Kanishka’s cargo hold, lifting the passenger floor from its stays and instantly cutting electrical power and the oxygen supply to the pilots.Stunned controllers in Shannon watched Flight 182’s radar image fade from their screens.On its horrifying final plunge, passengers near the back of the plane were pulled out through huge rents in the fusel Kanishka struck the sea’s suygen system and the violent gyrations of the dive which inflicted terrible injuries, at least some of the passengers survived.Investigators were faced with appalling difficulties.Kanishka’s wreckage was strewn along an eight-kilometre track more than six kilometres beneath the surface of the stormy North Atlantic.All the circumstantial evidence pointed to a terrorist attempt to simultaneously destroy two Air-India jetliners.Yet there was no hard evidence that a bomb was aboard Flight 182.Officially, there still is none.Although the Indian inquiry — like the Canadian Aviation Safety Board and all other investigators — concluded that Kanishka was blown up, the extent of the forensic evidence has not been disclosed.Some hearings in India were held in closed session and the full report submitted at the end of February by Indian High Court Judge Bhupinder Nath Kirpal has not been made public.But sources close to the investiga tion suggest the RCMP know far more than they have revealed.An American investigator, speaking on condition that he not be identified, says Canadian police have a fragment from a suitcase that meets the exacting stan dards of admissable courtroom evidence to prove a bomb was aboard SENT FOR TESTS The RCMP will say only that 92 bits and pieces of wreckage were sent for forensic tests.The American investigator also says the RCMP know the true identity of at least one of the two men who checked through bags at Vancouver.After sending off the bomb, the man flew to San Francisco and on to the Philippines.Whether the terrorists responsible are ever caught and convicted, the tragedy will occupy Canadian civil courts for years.The aftermath of Air-India Flight 182 also created ethnic tensions within Canada as suspicion rested on a fanatical few among the country’s 200,000-strong Sikh community.Ottawa moved to address longstanding Indian concerns about suspected Sikh extremists operating in Canada.During a visit to India last December, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark agreed to establish channels for the sharing of intelligence between the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service and India’s Central Bureau of Investigation.Clark also agreed to India’s call for a bilateral extradition treaty and presented a draft.A final version is still being negotiated but it will not include New Delhi’s demand for retroactivity.As well, Canada has lifted its moratorium on deportations of would-be Sikh immigrants claiming refugee status.That could mean as many as 2,000 Sikhs eventually ordered to leave the country.The crackdown on Sikhs suspected of plotting terrorist acts against India, in Canada or abroad, has resulted in a wave of arrests in recent weeks.And lost amid the continuing mystery of the crash, the suspicions and the litigation are the families of the victims — husbands, wives, parents, children — still coming to terms with their losses.You too can fight on to save the Great Wall By Stephen Nisbet SHANHAIGUAN, China (Reuter) — About $40 Canadian buys a chance for immortality-seekers to join the fight to save a prized section of China’s Great Wall.Organizers of the campaign to rebuild The Dragon’s Head section Of the wall are offering inscribed tablets the size of big tombstones for donors giving at least $21,000.The Shanhaiguan Great Wall Research Institute promises to erect the two-metre-high tablets alongside a repaired part of the wall, then tend them in perpetuity.For about $40, the less wealthy can have their names recorded for poste- rity on a roll of honor at this sleepy coastal town, which isearmarked as a future international tourist resort under ambitious development plans.The institute has a long way to go to raise the $40 million which director Tao Gao said would be needed to complete the task by the 1995 target date.LjI 1 dnosaur PARK 'I „ LABOR RELATIONS Tao said the institute wanted to restore four kilometres of the dilapidated wall, including 10 towers, where it comes down from the north China hills to end on the headland separating two deserted beaches on the East China Sea.CALLED DISGRACE The ruinous state of the wall where it reaches the sea after snaking 4,200 kilometres has been called a national disgrace.“If the head of this great dragon is not restored in our time, we will stand shamefaced before our ancestors, our descendants and the whole human civilization," declares a poster beside the tunnel that passes through the wall in Shanhaiguan’s majestic First Pass Under Heaven tower.The town has taken to heart a call attributed by the poster to Chinese leader Deng Xiaoping to “love our motherland and repair the Great Wall.” Squads of laborers pull stone blocks up steep ramps by hand in the same way as the wall’s original builders and the Ming Dynasty workers who renovated it 600 years ago.From atop a restored stretch of seaside ramparts, today’s wall builders near The Dragon’s Head can see a peaceful scene where goats and donkeys graze and fishermen mend their nets.The wall no longer serves the purpose for which it was designed more than 2,000 years ago — repelling northern barbarians from invading China’s heartland.A year later, Peterson’s Ontario rolls along By Jim Coyle TORONTO (CP) — The recipe was simple: a dash of determination, a pinch of political savvy and a healthy dollop of sheer good luck.Then, Premier David Peterson let it simmer over a hot economy, garnished with a soupçon of charisma and served up Grits a l’Ontario — a spicy dish that’s tickled the political taste-buds of diners who had grown weary of a Tory menu unchanged in 42 years.Of course, some found the repast unpalatable, seasoned as it was with ingredients borrowed from Peterson’s New Democratic neighbors.But as the premier marks his first anniversary in office Thursday, the latest customer surveys show plenty of folks will be back for second helpings.David Robertson Peterson, 41, businessman, former boxer and father of three, cheerfully admits he was a lousy lawyer and was, by most accounts, an inept opposition leader.But he has seen a strong economy, enormous personal appeal and the herculean efforts of a handful of senior cabinet ministers carry him through an amazingly successful 12 months as Ontario's first Liberal premier since 1943.Peterson, who quickly gained a national profile by battering Tory Prime Minister Brian Mulroney over free trade and other issues, has lost one distinction.A year ago he led the country's only Liberal government; now there are Grit premiers in Quebec and Prince Edward Island as well.SEEMS HAPPY Even with the inevitable problems and controversies starting to boil up around him, Peterson — sworn in June 26, 1985, after signing a historic accord with the NDP that ended the Conservative dynasty — seems as happy with his job as anyone in the country as his thoughts turn toward a provincial election expected in about a year.A strike by outraged doctors over a ban on extra-billing and the resignation last week of management board chairman Elinor Caplan over allegations of conflict of interest have put Peterson on the hot-seat of late and signalled that his second year will be tougher than his first.But the crises have hardly squelched a self-confidence that borders on cockiness and was born, in part, by an April byelection victory in a Toronto riding the Liberals hadn’t held in 80 years."I expected this business to be tough,” Peterson conceded recently to reporters.“We've made some tough decisions and we haven’t shied away from anything.I wanted this job.Nobody made me take it.“If we didn’t want to have opposition, we wouldn't do anything.That really characterized the previous government.” “Life will never be as good for him as he had it the first 11 months," pre- dicted Grossman, who holds 51 seat to the Grits’ 49.But there is evidence that the majc rity of citizens support the extra billing ban and there is a chance Ca plan will be cleared and reinstated al ter an investigation, so the presen turmoils may inflict little lasting poli tical damage.Peterson has relied heavily on a fe\ superb

While the business community i miffed at a few interventionist Libe ral policies — particularly first contract legislation passed las month, and proposed extension to thi private sector of pay-equity

quandary: No money for increased Can-con Pay-TV operators made money TORONTO (CP) — Just a week after Canada’s three major pay-television operators said they can’t afford to live up to Canadian content rules, it has been learned that all three made money last year.Although their profits were modest and the state of their finances was far from impressive, First Choice Canadian Communications Corp.made $990,000, Allarcom Pay Television Ltd.(Superchannel) made $261,000 and Premier Choix: TVEC Inc.made $246,000.The three told the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission a week ago that regulations requiring pay-TV companies to spend 45 per cent of their revenues and 60 per cent of their expenditures on Canadian programming are unrealistic and will lead to the demise of pay-TV in Canada.They also asked that their financial statements be kept private.The pay operators want to be allowed to reduce their Canadian content requirements to 15 from 50 per cent, in the case of the two English-language services, and to 10 per cent for the French-language service.Critics of the new proposals don’t believe these levels are a great deal higher than the proportion of Canadian programming that ap pears some months on Home Box Office, the largest pay-TV service in the United States.HBO SPENDS MORE HBO spends more money purchasing films and programs made in Canada — $220 million in the last several years — than the three Ca-nadian pay-TV operators combined.“HBO could be perceived to be as distinctive a Canadian service in certain months as First Choice and Superchannel,” said Garry Neil, general secretary of the Alliance of Canadian Television and Radio Artists.Neil called the 15-per-cent content target absurdly low.Toronto-based First Choice says there isn’t enough domestic programming on the shelf for anybody to survive with current Canadian content levels.In fact, the pay services are showing just 30 per cent Canadian ma terial, even though requirements rose to 50 per cent at the beginning of the year.Murray Marchant, First Choice’s vice-president of finance, said the company’s profit last year was a one-time anomaly that resulted from being able to cut Canadian content costs after spending more than was required in its first two years of operation.START WITH DEFICITS “Were we to adhere to the existing conditions, there is no way we could ever be profitable again,” Marchant said.All three companies are burdened by significant deficits accumulated in their first three years.First Choice’s move into the black came after it lost $23.7-million a year earlier and Montreal-based Premier Choix surged forward from a $13.8-million loss.Last year's returns were not available for Edmonton-based Allarcom.Canadian producers generally accept industry arguments that the pay operators are not in good enough financial shape to move to 50-per-cent Canadian content at this time.They oppose, however, the solutions prescribed by the pay operators.‘‘Fifteen-per-cent Canadian content is unacceptable for a Canadian pay-TV service.” said Alison Clayton, president of the Canadian Film and Television Association.The association would agree to a rollback in Canadian content to 25 per cent as long as levels are brought back up as pay-TV subscriptions increase.Drought, glut and subsidies killing small western farming communities By Fred Langan The Christian Science Monitor CHAPLIN, Saskatchewan — A prairie grain farmer walks into the Chaplin Hotel to cover a bounced check.“Here’s your $30, Phil.” “It’s $33.The bank puts on a service charge,” says Phil Walston, the hotel owner.The farmer leaves, embarrassed by the presence of strangers.“That guy farmers 10 sections (6,400 acres),” Walston says.“If he’s bouncing checks, it gives you an idea of how bad things are out here.” Chaplin is halfway between Swift Current and Moose Jaw in the southern part of Saskatchewan, the biggest grain-growing province in Canada.It is a farm town of about 500 people, with a hockey arena, one gas station, which closes for an hour at noon, one bank, a credit union, and the hotel.The main line of the Canadian Pacific Railway runs through town, and there are two grain elevators here.Beyond the houses of Chaplin, the wheat fields stretch to the horizon.Dozens of these sleepy little western towns are in trouble because of subsidies to grain farmers in the United States and Europe, the oil glut, and the recent drought.Saskatchewan is an oil-producing province, too, and when times are hard in agriculture, oil and gas usually pay the bill.Now, they’re both on the skids.That means less business for the towns, and for hotel owners such as Phil Walston.“Business has never been worse,” says Walston, who bought this hotel to run with his wife after getting out of the Canadian Army.He opens the cash register drawer and pulls out more bounced checks, all of them from farmers.The only good news is the weather.After two years of little rainfall, this prairie desert was drenched in the past two weeks.There were puddles in the ditches.And farmers had a new complaint, trouble getting their equipment onto rain-soaked fields so they could plant their seed.All the wheat, oats, and barley grown in the prairie provinces is sold by the Canadian Wheat Board.Its biggest customer is the Soviet Union, which bought 6 million metric tons last year and has a five-year contract for more of the same.“We expect business as usual with the Soviet Union,” says Pat Keena, with the Canadian Wheat Board in Winnipeg.“We are still uncertain about what effect if any the nuclear accident in the Ukraine will have on the harvest there.” The early rain on the prairies could produce a bumper crop, Keena says.Last year prairie farmers produced 40.6 million metric tons, a far cry from the record of 46 million metric tons set in 1982.Canadian farmers will probably continue to produce as much grain as they can.Canadian farmers also get a subsidy from the federal government, although they say it is not as generous as those in the United States and the European Community.There is no worry about the oversupply of grain in the world.“The board takes the position that we will market whatever product the farmers give us to sell.” Keena says.But the prices farmers receive is based on the world price, and although they will get a check from the Wheat Board, the money is based on a lower price per bushel.That is why the grain farmer with 10 sections bounces a check.For Canadian wheat farmers to survive, they have to export.Canada exports 80 per cent of its grain crop, compared with 20 per cent for the Common Market countries in Europe.After the Soviet Union, Canada’s largest grain customers are China, with 2.8 million metric tons; Japan.1.3 million metric tons; and Brazil, 1.1 million metric tons.Those big foreign sales are keeping Canadian grain farmers in business.Keena of the Wheat Board says the fight between American and European grain farmers has hurt the western Canadian growers by driving down world prices for grain, and unless the US and EC a Hydro-Québec CALL FOR TENDERS BSA-86-RU-08 for 10:30 a.m.(local

do.What many of them might do is get out of farming altogether.Some experts estimate that the next few years could see as many as 1 in 5 prairie grain farmers leaving the land.The western provinces, especially Saskatchewan, could see a big reduction in population - helped by the drop in oil activity.That would make it harder for towns like Chaplin to survive and for Phil Walston and his wife to

annual statements explaining their benefits.That’s not surprising, since 94 per cent of registered pension plan members in Canada have their pension-fund investment guaranteed by their employers.But this out-of-sight-out-of-mind attitude might be coming to an end.Peat Marwick and Partners, a major pension consulting company, says a growing number of employers are switching to plans under which employees bear the risk if pension funds are badly invested.While these plans permit employees to enjoy the benefit of good investments, they also place the risk of poor returns “squarely on the shoulders of the employee,” says Peat Marwick.Basically, there are two types of private pension plans.The first, and most popular, is called a defined-benefit plan, in which the investment return to employees is guaranteed by their employer.GUARANTEES RATE If the pension fund is not invested wisely end scores a low return or even a loss, the employer still guarantees a certain rate of return for retiring employees.The other type of plan is called a money-purchase plan.No guarantees of return are made and a retiring employee’s pension amount is dependent on the investment performance of the pension fund.The ultimate pension payout can be highly unpredictable, particularly if the fund is invested in the stock market.Under money-purchase plans, people who retire one year could receive vastly different pensions from those who retire in another year, said Ian Markham, a Peat Marwick pension consultant.“That’s just the way it goes,” MONEYI MONITO said Markham, co-author of a Peat Marwick study on the two types of plans."You just retired at the wrong time.” Despite this risk to employees, Markham said some companies are switching to money-purchase plans because they are simpler and less costly to operate.SURPLUS OR LOSS He also said a recent controversy over whether employees or employers own pension surpluses in defined-benefit plans is encouraging companies to switch to money-purchase plans.With money-purchase plans, the cm ployee owns any surplus, but is also saddled with any loss.So how much of a difference can volatile investments make to your final pension?This depends on the performance of the stock markets or bond markets during any given year, but the Peat Marwick study indicated that the final pension amount could vary by thousands of dollars.After the pension amount is converted into an annuity that pays the retired person a regular amount, pension income could vary by hundreds of dollars a year.In the study.Peat Marwick assumed that contributions to pensions are 10 per cent of an employee’s pay, and that 33 per cent of the total pension fund is invested in the stock market while 67 per cent is placed in long-term bonds.The study also looked at the actual performance of stock and bond markets over several years.One of the scenarios concerned people who retired between 1963 and 1984 with 40 years membership in the plan.In four of those years, the investment benefits to retirees would be about one per cent 6f their final salary multiplied by their years of service.In two other years, the return was close to 50 per cent higher.In thé case of the retiree who earned $30,000 in his final year, that translates into an investment benefit of $12,600 compared with $18,600, And that difference amounts to hundreds of dollars a year when the benefit is converted into an annuity.Investment benefits exclude the amount of employee and employer contributions, which would be turned over to the retiree.In no case in the Peat Marwick study was there a loss in the investment portion, which means the retirees would receive their full contributions in addition to the investment income generated by those contributions.LESS RISK Faced with the risk of volatile investments, Peat Marwick went on to say that some employers will invest their money-purchase pension funds in conservative bond issues, rather than put a portion of their retirees at risk.But a conservative investment strategy also has its drawbacks, since it “can provide surprisingly low levels of pension income.“Employees pay a heavy price for such conservatism.” Markham said younger employees may want money-purchase plans because they could reap higher rewards if the pension money is invested in a booming market.But he said older employees will most likely prefer the security of defined-benefit plans.‘‘Thorough and thoughtful consideration (by each company) should be given to the entire issue before a final decision is made,” said the study.Le VOITURIERi m t
