me.Help me’ Dead warden almost missed work that day By Jack Branswell ST-JÉROME (CP) — A game warden who was shot dead with a powerful crossbow after he was apparently mistaken for a moose almost stayed home from work the night of the tragedy, a corner’s inquest was told Monday.Warden Luc Guindon, 29, died from massive internal injuries last Oct.10 after being shot at close range when he surprised two suspected poachers hunting at night in the woods near Ste-Agathe-des-Monts, 90 kilometres east of Montreal.Under Quebec law hunters may hunt until half an hour after sunset.They then have an hour to leave the woods.During that time their guns or other weapons must not be loaded.At the time of the incident provincial regulations in the region allowed hunters to use crossbows to hunt for black bears only.The hunter who fired the arrow told police after the shooting he thought Guindon was a moose.No charges were laid after the killing which provoked an uproar among game wardens.Quebec’s solicitor general called the coroner’s inquest but refused to lay charges.Guindon was a seasonal game warden and his contract was to have ended the day before the fatal incident, but the Quebec Ministry of Recreation, Fish and Game had extended it for another 20 days.CALLED IN SICK The inquest opened Monday with Guindon’s boss, François Monette, testifying that Guindon called in sick the day before the shooting, complaining of a foot injury.Monette told coroner Gilles Per-.ron that on the day of the incident, he had asked Guindon three times if he was well enough to go into the woods and each time Guindon said yes.Guindon and his partner, Serge Charette, were trying to catch poachers.Michel Tremblay, an ambulance attendant, told the inquest when he got to Guindron the game warden was lying on his back and was having difficulty breathing.Tremblay told the room full of reporters and spectators that Guindon pleaded: ‘‘Help me.Help me.Help me.” The attendent testified Guindon had been loaded into the ambulance and was en route to hospital within six minutes of their arrival on the scene.But Tremblay said the game warden had already gone into cardiac arrest and never regained consciousness.Pathologist Claude Pothel testified that Guindon died from massive internal bleeding.The arrow penetrated 37 centimetres into his chest, ripping through the left ventricle of the heart, perforating a lung and slicing the pancreas in two, Pothel testified.SNOW KABYNE RANCOURT ECOLE SACREVOEVR LAC MEG ANTIC 1 ^ Hi if 1 Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Tuesday, January 23,1990 40 cents Staff: What happened to their doors?Shawbridge: Two teens face murder charges By John Davidson MONTREAL (CP) — Two teenage girls have been charged with second-degree murder in a fire which killed four girls in a youth home.Quebec Crown prosecutor Nancy Moreau said Monday.The two accused, also charged with arson and conspiracy, appeared in Juvenile Court on Monday.Trial dates are to be set on Wednesday for one of the accused and Feb.2 for the other.Police said investigators believe the fire, which began about 1 a.m.Friday, was to divert attention from a bid to escape the home, which is run by Shawbridge Youth Centres.The escapees were back at the home in suburban Laval the same day.Their names cannot be made public because they are juveniles.Moreau said in an interview a third girl was involved in the escape attempt but only two girls have been charged because police don’t have enough proof against the third.The maximum sentence for a juvenile on conviction of second-degree, or unpremeditated murder, is three years.Laval police Det.Marc Demers said the doors to the rooms at the home open automatically if a fire is detected.He said setting fires has been a com mon method of try ing to escape.But he said investigators are still trying to figure out why the four dead girls were trapped in their rooms, when their doors were supposed to open automatically during a fire.FEEL OUTRAGE ‘ We know that the system (to open the doors) worked on the night of the fire, but I too am outraged that it wasn't good enough (to save the lives of the girls),” Madeleine Leduc, director of treatment at Shawbridge, said in an interview.‘ Maybe it took too long for them to open, so the gas and the heat from the fire killed the girls before their doors opened.” Kim Kurtz, public relations director for Shawbridge, said the doors are supposed to open three minutes after a fire alarm goes off."All we know at this point is that the girls were found dead in their rooms from smoke inhalation I don’t know what happened to their doors and we will have to wait until the investigation is finished before we know what really happened,” he said.The four victims were Michelle Thibeault, 14, Tina Poux, 15, Tiffany Mackenzie, 15, and Christina Cain Cain is to be buried tonight.“She was a baby, she was only 13.” cried Cain’s sister, Catherine, 15.at the funeral in the downtown Montreal community called Little Burgundy.Christina’s mother, Viviane Cain, sat in silence at the funeral parlor while other members of the family demanded answers.They said the look of horror on Christina's face and the condition of her hands suggested she was beating at the door of her room, trying to get out.‘How come four girls couldn't get out?” demanded Naomi Cain, Christina's aunt.“We want aninquiry into this tragedy.” Mismanagement or censorship?i -¦ -ymp** HM4 THUfiSO/W.NOVUfmWH m.RECORD/GRANT SIMEON The editor of the Bishop’s University student newspaper was fired last

3.Premier: The rest comes later Bourassa holds line on Meech Lake plus By Don Macdonald MONTREAL (CP) — Senator Lowell Murray, the federal government’s Meech Lake troubleshooter, indicated Monday that Ottawa is pinning its hopes for saving the constitutional pact on a parallel agreement.But Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa slammed the door on any parallel agreement to Meech Lake which deals with anything other than an agenda for a second round of constitutional talks after the accord’s ratification.Murray, emerging from an afternoon meeting with Bourassa, said “Quebec and all the other signatory provinces are open to any discussion” on a parallel accord that would provide an exit from the current impasse.He quickly added, however, that there can be no progress until Manitoba and Newfoundland, the two provinces most opposed the accord, drop their demand that Meech Lake itself be renegotiated.“It is not a question of an agreement between Mr.Bourassa and me.It is a question of getting Manitoba and Newfoundland into the ballpark where they are even ready to discuss the concept of a para 1-lel accord.” He skirted the question of whether Quebec was willing to accept the idea of a parallel agreement that would deal with different aspects of Meech Lake as proposed by New Brunswick Premier Frank McKenna.SEEKING SOLUTION Murray, who is visiting provincial capitals in an effort to break the deadlock, said McKenna’s proposal is so ill-defined that it could include any number of different possibilities, none of which could be discussed until Manitoba and Newfoundland get on side.He suggested a parallel accord could be comprised of a political agreement among the provinces or a more iron-clad constitutional amendment to deal with such issues as minority and native rights.But before meeting with Murray, Bourassa repeated that Quebec is willing only to strike a deal with the other provinces on the agenda for a second round of constitutional talks in order to as-

inside and outside every cigarette package under government regulations announced Monday.The Health Department will soon force tobacco companies to place a detailed warning of the adverse health effects of smoking inside every package so smokers would have to remove it to get at the cigarettes.The new regulations were announced by Health Minister Perrin High court to taste constitution pie Rouyn-Noranda gets date OTTAWA (CP) — The Quebec city of Rouyn-Noranda will have to hang in there a while longer.The legality of the letters patent issued in French only in 1986 to seal the merger of Rouyn and Noranda will be decided by the Supreme Court of Canada.The court, after a hearing Monday, gave the province of Quebec leave to appeal a ruling by the Quebec Court of Appeal that issuing such documents in French only is unconstitutional.The Quebec Court of Appeal earlier this month invalidated letters patent issued to seal the merger.The Court of Appeal said the Constitution requires that such documents be issued in both English and French.The ruling left the new municipality in legal limbo and has those who opposed the merger saying that another referendum is necessary.After granting the province leave, Justice Antonio Lamer also ordered that the province pay the legal costs of a Noranda group that raised the issue.Beatty who was speaking at a press conference to promote National Non-Smoking Week, Jan.22-28.Cigarette manufacturers will also be required to devote the top 25 per cent of their packages for easily read black and white messages warning of the health hazards of smoking, the minister added.Currently, the warnings on cigarette packages are 20 per cent of the size of the package and are often hard to read against the colored backgrounds of the packages.Beatty said the warnings on the outside of packages will for the first time include one alerting smokers to the addictive properties of tobacco.He said one side of the cigarette package will also carry a list of the toxic substances in cigarettes, he added The same warnings will be placed on pouches of roll-your-own tobacco, he said.RIPE AREA “There’s no area that’s riper for action than tobacco is,” Beatty said in an interview.Ridding society of smoking “can save Canadians from a great deal of suffering and death and save a tremendous burden that there is on our health care costs today.” Beatty also said he will work with provincial health ministers beginning next week to come up with new legislation to make it har- der for children and youths to buy cigarettes.Smoking has been declining steadily in Canada for years.About 28 per cent of people aged 15 and older smoked in 1986, the most recent year figures are available, compared to 42 per cent in 1966.Garfield Mahood, executive director of the Non-smokers’ Rights Association, said his group has been lobbying for such packaging changes for the last two years.THE WORLD “We had announcements there (at the news conference) that will revolutionize tobacco warning systems around the world,” he said.“This can be the most effective health education campaign that the government has ever run — with no cost to the taxpayers of Canada.” Victor Lachance, executive director of the Canadian Council on Smoking and Health, said the changes to packaging ensure everyone who buys cigarettes will have access to information about its harmful effects.“There’s no other way to ensure that consumers are making an informed choice.These warnings will do that.” CM A APPROVES The Canadian Medical Association also applauded the changes.But one Ottawa tobacco retailer said he doubts stronger warnings will put much of a dent in cigarette and tobacco sales.More warnings will just anger smokers, who are already upset at constantly being reminded of the dangers of their habit, said Michael Comerford, who has sold tobacco at a downtown store for 42 years.“A lot of them get really, really disgusted with the warnings," said Comerford.“I don’t think anybody likes to be regimented.“How would you like to buy sugar and every time be told that sugar can make people fat or cause diabetes?” Comerford said his sales fell no more than two or three per cent when the current system of warnings was introduced, though he added sales at other stores may have fallen seven or eight per cent.The Canadian Tobacco Manufacturers’ Council said in a news release the regulations are “an arbitrary decision of a political nature.” The release said manufacturers are still paying for regulations imposed last October that forced them to bring health warnings from the side panels of packages to the front.It has cost manufacturers more than $15 million for the last set of changes, the release said."Now, they are being asked to start all over again.” sure ratification of the Meech Lake accord.A parallel accord would take three years to ratify and during that time, elections might bring other provincial leaders to power who would repudiate an agreement signed by their predecessors, Bourassa said.“What kind of guarantees do we have on a parallel accord?” Bourassa asked.Later, Quebec Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Gil Rémillard, who had a lengthy, separate meeting with Murray, was even more categorical in his rejection of a parallel accord that is anything other than an agenda for a second round of negotiations.“Our position is the same.No modification to Meech Lake and no discussions concerning the content of our constitutional reform.” The only positive note the ever-optimistic Rémillard could offer is that the Meech Lake process is advancing as political leaders in the dissenting provinces learn more about specifics of the accord.“The more we discuss the aspects of the Meech Lake accord with the premiers that oppose it, the more we can advance things,” said Rémillard."There is progress being made on the comprehension of the agreement.” Murray said he did not discuss with Bourassa or Rémillard the contents of a proposal by British Columbia Premier Bill Vander Zalm aimed at breaking the Meech Lake impasse.He said he wanted to wait until Vander Zalm announced the scheme this week before discussing it.Murray is to travel to Toronto to meet with Ontario Premier David Peterson on Wednesday and then on to Regina on Thursday to meet with Saskatchewan Premier Grant Devine.Both premiers are strong Meech Lake boosters.He meets with Northwest Territories Leader Dennis Patterson in Winnipeg on Friday. i—The RECORD—Tuesday, January 23,1990 Bob Campeau bas otber fish to fry.»» Psst: Wanna buy a racetrack?Blue Bonnets is on the block By Penny MacRae MONTREAL (CP) — Beleaguered Campeau Corp says it expects to have a buyer for its Blue Bonnet racetrack and surrounding chunk of prime Montreal real estate by the end of the month.The field of buyers vying for the 80-year-old track has been narrowed to three, said Dick Wertheim, spokesman for the Toronto-based corporation which is struggling under a mountain of debt from company president Robert Cam-peau's U.S.retail buying binge."We’re in the process of picking a winner and hope to have a decision by the end of the month,” Wertheim said in a telephone interview Monday from Toronto.Campeau told financial analysts last fall it expects to reap $100 million from the sale of the track, a Montreal institution, and its 500,000 square metres of land in the city’s west end.Wertheim said the property remains in the company’s hands and, contrary to an earlier news report, has not been transferred to the Toronto-based Reichmann brothers who bailed out the company last fall with a $250-million US loan.A Montreal newspaper.La Presse, said last week the racetrack was acquired by the powerful Reichmann family when it issued the loan as part of a rescue ntfpmnt to savp ramneau’s retail empire.BACKED LOAN The property was pledged as part of collateral for the loan, said Wertheim.But the Reichmanns “signed an agreement telling us they would give us nine days’ notice” if they intended to seize any Campeau properties.“This hasn’t been done and we have no knowledge of plans for them to do so,” said Wertheim.‘‘And why should they?We’re quite current on all our loans.” Campeau announced sale of the Blue Bonnets track as part of a $500-million sell-off of what it called its “non-strategic” real estate assets to reduce the crushing debt from its retail purchases in the United States.Last Monday, Campeau’s two major U.S.retailing divisions.Federated Department Stores and Allied Stores — filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy provision to allow them time to restructure.The Canadian operatations of Campeau Corp.are “not directly affected by any of the filings from the U.S.," said Wertheim.“It still is very much an ongoing operation here.With the exception of a few properties previously announced for sale, "there has been no changes in the (status) of any of the (Canadian Campeau) properties,” Wertheim said.‘It’s going to be a jungle’ Bosses want Quebec to take over the GST By Penny MacRae MONTREAL (CP) — The province’s largest employers group urged the provincial government Monday to institute a made-in-Quebec goods and services tax that would incorporate the national levy due to come into effect in 1991.The Conseil du patronat issued the call at its regular closed-door annual meeting with Premier Robert Bourassa in Montreal where it warned of administrative mayhem unless the proposal was put into effect.Ghyslain Dufour, president of the Conseil, told a news conference a single tax would eliminate administrative headaches and extra expense for business.‘‘Nobody likes a new tax.But if the government is going ahead with its GST, the Quebec tax should be harmonized with it,” said Du-four.“Otherwise, it’s going to be a jungle.” Dufour said the provincial sales tax should be extended to all goods and services and combined with the planned federal seven-per-cent levy.Under the proposal, the Quebec tax would be cut from the current nine per cent to six per cent but expansion of the provincial fiscal base to include all goods and services would mean the treasury would lose no money, Dufour said.While the tax structure is being changed, the Liberal government could seize the chance to scoop up extra revenue by making the provincial tax seven per cent and using the difference to cut the Quebec deficit, Dufour suggested.“A one-point increase in the provincial tax rate would give the government $1 billion,” said Dufour, adding the province could continue exempting certain areas, such as clothing and furniture, from provincial tax if it so wished.The federal tax is planned to replace the manufacturers’ sales tax, now at 13.5 per cent and widely regarded as inefficient.Bourassa said the government is considering the idea and will discuss it with federal Finance Minister Michael Wilson.The employers’ group told Bourassa, whose government is facing a $250-million revenue shortfall, it is strongly opposed to any increase in personal income tax rates, only recently brought into line with neighboring Ontario.The lobby group also called for tax measures to encourage business to protect the environment as well as extra money to finance research and development.It bemoaned economic uncertainty created by controversy over the Meech Lake constitutional accord and noted business efforts in English Canada to secure its ratification lag behind those in Quebec.*We had no choice’ — MUC Gossett back in harness ‘Wait three weeks’ Cogger case: Internal look enough - Blais By Jim Brown OTTAWA (CP) — Solicitor General Pierre Blais says he’s confident an internal RCMP inquiry can sort out allegations that the force tried to set up Conservative Senator Michel Cogger in two aborted sting operations.“These are very serious allegations that have been made,” Blais agreed Monday outside the Commons.But he dodged a call by Cogger’s lawyer, Bruno Paieras, who wants the minister to order an independent inquiry rather than letting the RCMP investigate itself.Blais indicated he is satisfied, at least for now, with RCMP Commissioner Norman Inkster’s decision to conduct an in-house inquiry.But he also appeared to leave the door open to further action, depending on what evidence is uncovered during that investigatiion.“Wait three weeks,” he told reporters, saying he expects a report from Inkster by then.There have been allegations that the RCMP tried on two separate occasions to set up sting operations against Cogger, a close friend of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and co-chairman of the 1988 Conservative election campaign.Paieras, in an interview from his Montreal office, said an RCMP officer approached Pierre Ducros, a prominent Montreal businessman, in late 1988 or early 1989.The Mountie allegedly proposed to give Ducros some cash and said he wanted to film the money being handed over to Cogger, a resident of Ottawa and West Bolton.The businessman refused and reported the incident to Cogger last May, said Paieras.He said the RCMP officer who made the proposal also expressed interest in setting a trap for two other senators.Paieras would not name the two or elaborate on the plan.GIVES NO DETAILS Ducros, chairman of DMR Group Inc., a computer software company, has told Southam News, which first reported the incident, that he doesn’t want to discuss details.Last week, Paul Vidosa, a onetime RCMP informer, told reporters his Mountie handlers asked him in early 1989 to try to tie Cogger to a Vancouver-based money laundering ring with which he had no contact.Vidosa said he posed as a financial consultant and approached Cogger for legal advice on how to retrieve $1.08 million seized by Canada Customs during the Vancouver operation.Cogger passed him to another lawyer, who in turn passed him to yet another, and the plan was scrapped, said Vidosa.The 42-year-old native of Spain, who has threatened to sue the RCMP for dropping him as an informer, admits he went to Cogger and then to journalists to even the score with the force.The RCMP has said only that a senior officer will be appointed to review the files and conduct of the Mounties involved in the two operations.Cogger is also under investigation by both the RCMP and a Senate committee following allegations that he acted as a paid lobbyist and received payments from a government agency for legal work after he became a senator.Those allegations are not related to the incidents involving Vidosa and Ducros.INVOLVED AGAIN But Paieras said one RCMP officer — whom he would not name — was involved in both the Vidosa and Ducros incidents and is also involved in the current investigation.“If he did this (in the past) and he’s now conducting the new investigation of Senator Cogger, I think that’s something which is questionable,” said Paieras.The approach to Ducros followed an RCMP investigation into the awarding of a $150-million contract to build a communications network for the External Affairs Department.OTTAWA (CP) — Blowing snow and frigid temperatures greeted Ray Hnatyshyn Monday as he arrived from Saskatoon to prepare for his term as Governor General.Beaming as he stepped down from a government Challenger jet at Uplands airport, Hnatyshyn was welcomed back to Ottawa by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney and his wife, Mila.Hnatyshyn was the MP for Saskatoon from 1974 until his defeat in the 1988 election.He was justice minister at the time of the election.In response to shouted questions The contract went to a subsidiary of the giant Montreal-based engineering firm Lavalin Inc., which has close ties to senior Conservatives.The RCMP investigated after competitors complained of political interference, but concluded there was no wrongdoing.Blais, meanwhile, was careful to distance the Cogger allegations from a variety of other complaints lodged against the RCMP in the last month.MPs from all three parties have accused the force of harassing politicians by checking their free phone calls and travel vouchers and perusing their office budgets.Two Commons committees are reviewing those matters, but Blais said the Cogger allegations are better handled through the internal RCMP inquiry announced by Inkster.about his plans for the job, Hnatyshyn replied: “All these and other things will unfold as the universe does.” I Hnatyshyn and his wife, Karen, will stay at the government’s offi-cal guest house until the installation ceremony Jan.29.Gov.Gen.Jeanne Sauve will leave Ottawa Friday.She was appointed to the mostly-ceremonial post Dec.23, 1983.The Governor General represents the Crown in Canada and gives royal assent to all legislation from Parliament.New GG moving in Hon.Ray plays coy MONTREAL (CP) — Constable Allan Gossett — fired after fatally shooting an unarmed black teenager in a police station parking lot two years ago — is once again a member of the Montreal police.After being first suspended and then fired, Gossett, a 16-year police veteran, has been reinstated and assigned to the force’s electronic surveillance division.This means he will conduct electronic eavesdropping, the Montreal island regional government announced Monday.Police department officials say he will have no contact with the public and will not wear a uniform or carry a gun.Gossett underwent extensive physical and psychological testing by police personnel experts before being assigned to his new job.He was suspended without pay after the November 1987 killing of 19-year-old Anthony Griffin, arrested following a dispute over a taxi fare.Gossett has repeatedly said the youth made a move to escape while being escorted from the police cruiser into the station.He said he thought the teenager might be armed and dangerous so he drew his gun and pointed it at him simply to stop him from running away.The gun went off shooting Griffin through the head.Gossett said it was an accident.BLACKS BITTER But bitter members of Montreal's black community, who staged dozens of demonstrations afterwards to protest the shooting, felt racism was at the root of the tragedy.Dan Philips, of Montreal’s Black Coalition, said Monday that Gossett’s reinstatement was “a travesty of justice.” “We believe that there has not been the kind of process neccessary in order to leave the perception that justice was done,” Philips said after discussing the case with police officials.Regional government chairman Michel Hamelin said in a written statement,“We had no choice but to reinstate Constable Gossett.” Gossett was acquitted of manslaughter charges by a jury, but a Quebec Police Commission inquiry recommended he be fired for gross negligence.He was discharged but the police union took the firing to arbitration and an arbitrator ruled Gossett had been unjustly dismissed, a decision which was upheld by Quebec Superior Court in an appeal.—____foci HGCDTu Randy Klnnaar, Publisher.569-9511 Charles

to the notoriety that came with command of the vessel involved in the worst oil spill in U.S.history, but he’s surprised at the tenacity of his critics.“I’m handling infamy reasonably well,” he told Life magazine for its February issue.“But it’s amazing how it won’t go away.” Hazelwood, who goes on trial Jan.29 in Anchorage, Alaska, on charges resulting from the disaster, said he has received death threats and is tired of being portrayed as “a drunken bum with a parrot on my shoulder who drove his ship aground.” The oil tanker captain, who has a history of alcoholism, has been accused of drinking the night of the accident, which spilled about 42 million litres of oil into the Prince William Sound.He denies the claim and said Exxon Corp.has made him a scapegoat.Prosecutors said he should have been at the helm since he was the ship’s only authorized navigator for the sound.His lawyers say the U.S.coast guard relaxed the rules in 1986.Hazelwood has pleaded not guilty.He faces more than seven years in prison and $65,000 in fines if convicted.Asked if he expected justice, he replied: “You mean like a Frank Capra movie?” Jackson may replace Barry WASHINGTON (AP) - Washington Mayor Marion Barry, facing a cocaine-possession charge, flew to a Florida treatment centre Monday while political operatives began looking to civil-rights leader Jesse Jackson as a candidate to replace him.A Jackson associate said: “I know he’s getting a lot of pressure to run.I don’t know if he’s going to.” Speaking only on condition of anonymity, the source said: “A lot of the pressure is coming from Marion’s people.” City officials confirmed the mayor left the capital for treatment of an unspecified health problem the day after declaring he would take steps “to heal my body, mind and soul.” AH four-cylinders Fieros recalled DETROIT (AP) — General Motors intends to recall 244,000 four-cylinder Pontiac Fieros — every one ever made — because of a nagging engine-fire problem which contributed to the company’s decision to scuttle the two-seater sportscar.The plastic-body, mid-engine Fiero was introduced in September 1983 and was an immediate sales success.Its demise at the end of the 1988 model year came nearly as quickly, after consumer advocate Ralph Nader charged that engine problems were causing fires.GM hasn’t determined when the recall will take effect or what kind of repair work will be performed, spokesman Tom Pyden said.“We’ve notified NHTSA (the U.S.National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) of our intent to conduct a recall,” Pyden said.“We are still determining the fix and until that point it is premature to come out and notify owners and dealers.” Nàture will clean up JUNEAU (AP) — U.S.coast guard officials have decided to let nature clean up the estimated 218,000 litres of gasoline that gushed into Alaska’s island-studded Inside Passage from a grounded tanker.The Canadian-owned tanker, Frank Brown, struck Burnt Island Reef on Saturday night.The captain, who was not identified, blamed the grounding on “a judgment error,” coast guard spokesman Ed Moreth said.The coast guard said it took blood and urine samples from crew members to test for drug or alcohol use.The 120-metre ship was refloated at high tide Sunday and continued under its own power about 25 kilometres up a narrow channel to Scow Bay, just south of Petersburg.There, divers found a 60-centimetre hole in one of its tanks.Coast guard and state environmental officials said damage to fish and wildlife appeared to be minimal.The decision not to clean up the spill was made Sunday as the gasoline quickly broke up into several thin sheens, the largest about PA kilometres long.Canadians held the gun SAG PAULO, Brazil (CP) — A Brazilian businessman said Monday two Canadians charged with kidnapping him last month took turns holding a gun to his head during a police siege of a house where he was being held.Abilio Diniz, executive vice-president of Brazil’s biggest supermarket chain, Pao de Acucar, said in court the two Canadians helped guard him after police surrounded the house on the morning of Dec.16.David Spencer, 26, of Moncton, N.B., and Christine Lamont, 30, of Langley, B.C., have pleaded not guilty and maintain they only found out Diniz was being held in the three-bedroom house where they lived when the police arrived.Diniz said Monday he first saw the two Canadians on the day the police siege began.Diniz was seized Dec.11 and released six days later, when the inhabitants of the house surrendered to police.Diniz, 53, said he was kidnapped when he was driving to work and was held in a cubicle beneath a house for five days.Mother finally put to rest BAT AC, Philippines (AP) — The body of Ferdinand Marcos’s mother was entombed Sunday, 20 months after she died, ending a bizarre vigil by supporters of the late president who hoped mother and son would be buried together.Marcos supporters used the entombment of Josefa Edralin-Marcos, who died May 4,1988 at age 95, to denounce the government of President Corazon Aquino.About 1,000 people, including local officials, gathered as the body of Edralin-Marcos was placed in a glass-and-wood structure behind the Marcos family home, where she was lying in state.“We don’t want a political color to this ceremony,” said Rev.Domingo Nebres, who also officiated at Marcos’s entombment in Hawaii.“We want a loving tribute to Dona Josefa.She is a woman who did not construct monuments that can be destroyed later but was the mother of a president who served us for 20 years to protect our country from communistic hands.” Weather Tuesday, snow flurries in the morning but clearing in the afternoon and windy at times.The high is expected to be around -3.Wednesday, the high

The RECORD—Tuesday.January 23, 1990—3 ‘A certain anxiety’ but little is known - personnel manager Make-up By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON — This month's merger of two major drug and beauty care companies is causing alarm for employees of Knowlton’s Clairol plant.It is not unusual to observe major changes following the merger of giant corporations such as Bristol Myers and Squibb, said Gerry Moar, personnel manager for Clairol, a Bristol Myers subsidiary.‘The merger had a $740 million charge against 1989 earnings, so there are bound to be major fuels layoff rumors at Clairol plant changes,” Moar said in an interview Monday.“This has created a certain anxiety,” he added.LAYOFF RUMORS The merger, coupled with an independent staff reduction program at Clairol, has fueled rumors in town of massive layoffs and even the possible closure of the Knowl-ton plant, which employs 260.Moar said Clairol, which has been operating in Knowlton since 1958, offered a voluntary early-retirement package earlier this month to qualifying employees.“We’re now waiting for a response to our offer,” Moar said.Moar said last week the president of Clairol Canada met with management personnel at the Knowlton plant to discuss the merger and possible local repercussions.Remaining plant employees are expected to be briefed by the company president this week.“We realize whenever there are major changes in the offing, there is a great deal of concern," Moar said “Rut we don’t know any more than what we are telling our employees." Pointing out that the recently expanded Clairol plant in Knowlton is the only manufacturing operation of the company’s seven Canadian production facilities.Moar said there is even a chance Clairol Knowlton could expand.“We have a lot going for us,” Moar said.“We have flexibility, we make the whole range of products, and we are adaptable on smaller runs.” he said.“We have the equip ment and the expertise." A rumor among Clairol production workers is that they face unemploymeny over free trade, since they make $9 to $12 per hour while workers in similar California plants make only the state minimum — $4.50 US.But Moar said at this point, he is doubtful that free trade will be a factor in the “rationalization” of various Bristol-Myers-Squibb activities."Down the road a year or two.free trade may come into play for inHnairies, but right now the major factor is the merger,” he said.Moar said until the two major corporations analyze all their holdings — and their 52.000 employees — it will be difficult to speculate on the role Knowdton's Clairol plant w ill play in the future."We know we are a healthy, viable operation,” he said.Moar did quell a rumor that the Clairol plant was to be turned into a shopping centre.“That 1 can rule out.” he laughed.“And we aren’t going to turn it into a helicopter landing strip either.” 6Businesses will t>e given time to switch* town iraanaggtM Lennoxville council moves on front-yard storage space By Ann McLaughlin LENNOXVILLE — The imposing heap of brown lumber piled outside the Arbo-culture homegardening business along Queen Street must go, says town council.A few truck loads of the old railway ties — which have become a handy landscaping fashion in re- cent years — have already been hauled away, Lennoxville town manager Jacques Gagnon said Monday.The rest will be gone within days.The lumber was piled too close to the road and could have tumbled into traffic, said the building inspector.And more importantly, Lennox- ville’s new town plan includes a bylaw which prevents businesses from storing merchandise outside in their front lots.40 FEET In the case of the gardening centre, its materials must be stored 40 ft.behind the boundary of the property.Although the limit for outdoor storage differs in the va- RECORD/GRANT SIMEON rious business zones on the town plan.“40 ft.is roughly the standard.” Gagnon said.Implementation of the newly beefed-up bylaw brings into question other businesses in town, he added.“We know that there are others who are not conforming right now,” he said, without specifying the culprits.Gagnon added that although town council intends to enforce its new bylaw, it will proceed with caution.“We intend to apply the bylaw everywhere but we will do it in time.It is different when one person has been doing something for 20 years then when a business just starts to,” Gagnon said.Businesses with illegally stored materials can expect a notice from town hall someday soon.They will then be allowed an unspecified delay to re-organize their operations.“Gradually council will determine what approach to take, but businesses will be given time to switch,” Gagnon said.Allhough Arbo-culture is the first town business ordered to clean up its front yard under a new Lennoxville bylaw, town manager Jacques Gagnon says I other merchants storing merchandise out front willl also be getting a close look in the near ' RKCORD CiRANT SIMEON He’s playing with words Réjean Rook North Hatley: Lawyer questions three on affadavits By Ann McLaughlin SHERBROOKE — If the lawyer for North Hatley Mayor Brent Pauley has his way, the residents contesting November’s municipal election may not have their case heard in Superior Court because of the wording in their affidavits.Statements filed by Jacqueline Donnachie, Réjean Rock and Randy Shields, explaining why they believe a new election should be held, have come under fire by Pauley’s lawyer Emile Colas.The three residents were cross-questioned by Colas in a closed- door ‘examination for discovery’ hearing at the Sherbrooke courthouse Monday.Pauley said later that a motion is to be filed within two weeks to have the case quashed on grounds that the three are basing their complaints solely on hearsay.WEREN’T THERE “The affidavits state that they personally attest to all the facts they swore to be true.But they were not present at the time of the election nor at the judicial recount.It’s hearsay,” said Pauley.After the motion is presented to the court, a judge will decide if the case will proceed or if it will instead be thrown out of court.In the affidavits, the threesome list more than 30 oddities they say occured Nov.5 during the mayoralty race between former Sherbrooke MP Irénée Pelletier and Pauley, a political newcomer.Although Pauley is not disputing whether the irregularities took place, he is contesting the wording in the affidavits, which apparently puts the citizens at the scene of the election mêlée.Dr.Réjean Rock, one of the three examined by Colas Monday, said the wording in the affidavit is but a mere technicality.The documents claim that the three had “personal knowledge” of the irregularities — not because they were at the election but because a Quebec Court judge outlined them in his written decision after a judicial recount.“The lawyer is playing on the word ‘personal’, that we didn’t see the irregularities first hand,” said Rock.Pauley asked for the recount after Pelletier initially won the elec- tion by one vote.When the ballots were recounted, one was found not to have been signed by the returning officer.It was discarded and the election declared a tie.Following the rules of the municipal code, returning officer Elsie Woodward drew a name from a box to break the tie.Pauley won.THE JUDGE.However the judge that ordered a tie noted that he had difficulty in arriving at a decision because, among several controversial items that came up during testimony, the register with the voters’ names on it was not properly filled out.“It has turned into a legal debate now, when our goal was simply to see democracy done,” Rock added of Monday’s events.Rock did not say how far the residents are going to take their fight, or how much they intend to spend on a court case.But he pointed out that 200 citizens signed a petition asking that a new election be called.The petition was presented to town council but has sinèe gone nowhere.North Hatley council is holding a special meeting tonight at 7.Does anybody UCK IN 73 BILLION .YOU CAN’T HOLD YOUR (BREATH

Outaouais' Brian Major Sunday afternoon.Cougars 92 Griffons 77 By Bruce Macfarlane LENNOXV1LLE - The playoff chances for the Champlain Cougars Men’s basketball team are still alive after a 92-77 victory over the Outaouais Griffons Sunday afternoon.After being tied at 18 points a piece at the 9:47 mark of the first half, Patrick Lessard’s two free-throws from line started off a six-point blitz for the Cougars where the visiting Griffons couldn’t catch up.Compton’s Craig Costello racked up 12 points of 21 points during the first half with Lessard netting five points in the half.Outaouais didn’t throw in the towel at all.The fourth-place Griffons made a bit of a comeback, slowly nibbling away at the Cougars.With 22 seconds left in the half.Griffons’ Teddy Welts was fouled on the way up to the hoop making the basket.The veteran guard hammered down the four-point play swishing both free-throws courtesy of the foul, narrowing the Cougars lead to 42-35.But Cougars’ Travis Tustian stopped the Griffons attack by leashing out a perfect shot from just outside the key, ripping through the mesh as the buzzer sounded to give the Lennoxville CEGEP a nine-point half time lead.THE SECOND The Cougars continued to dominate the play in the second with nu-meorus blitzes.Spencer Mellish led the second half attack by sco- ring 12 points giving him a total of 18 for the afternoon.Lessard spotted 10 points in the half to tally up his point total to 18.The Griffons are a one-man team according to Cougars' head coach Don Caldwell."Brian Major is the kid.he had 37 (points) at their place and 11 today (Sunday),” said Caldwell.“He got into foul trouble early.” LEADERSHIP Caldwell who has been looking for some leadership discovered some on the court Sunday.“He posted very well,” said Caldwell.“He played down low and started to come out with more confidence.1 thought Patrick Lessard played exceptionally well at point-guard.” “He has been struggling, he has been hurt a bit with a problem with his hand but he made real critical free-throws,” added Caldwell.The Cougars have some hurdles to jump in order to be sucessful for a playoff berth.The biggest one comes down this weekend.DAWSON “We ha ve to win both games with Dawson, the next one is Friday at their place,” said the veteran basketball coach.“And we would have to beat St-Lambert at home here and Maisonneuve at their place.” § Caldwell believes his team will | be in the playoffs but will face t some tough challenges ahead.“The test will be Dawson,” he | said.“I really feel that we are § strongerthanSt-LambertandMai- y sonneuve, we can play Dawson we “ played them once earlier in the year and lost by eleven.” The road to the playoffs starts Friday night against Dawson in Montreal at 9 p.m.at the Showmart, which is located opposite the Berri-de-Montigny metro station.Islanders 72 Cougars 47 The Champlain Cougars lost 4-1 to the John Abbott Islanders Friday *- .'nine in lennoxville.The Cougars were trailing right from the start of the game.The second-place Abbott team netted nine points before the Cougars climbed aboard the scoreboard.Champlain trailed 41-23 at the half and couldn't rebound against the tough Islanders.All the Champlain players scored during the game but three.Chris Gear and Mike Walker were the leading scorers for the blue and w hites, each with eight points.Cougars’ head coach Don Caldwell reflects on his teams winning performance against Outaouais Sunday afternoon.Balley sinks winning hoop to deflate Ste-Foy story, he said.The Lady Cougars play against Beauregard gets his chance Sport shorts Lennoxville’s Christine Batley scored the winning basket in overtime to lift the Lady Cougars to victory over Ste-Foy.Dawson Friday evening in Montreal at 7 p.m.“He has come under some hard criticism recently,” Smith said in a statement.“That, coupled with several past episodes, led us to a decision that a fresh start would be beneficial to his career.” Berthiaume has played more than three seasons with Winnipeg and had 44 wins.His record this season in 24 games is 10-11-3 with a goals against of 3.72.To compensate for the loss of Berthiaume, Winnipeg is calling up Stéphane Beauregard from its International Hockey League farm club.He played with Winnipeg against the Soviet Red Army and saw action in one pre-season NHL game.Champlain 72 Ste-Foy 71 By Bruce Macfarlane LENNOXVILLE— Christine Batley celebrated her birthday with style Sunday afternoon.The rookie forward sunk the winning basket with 21 seconds left in overtime to lift the Lady Cougars to 72-71 victory over Ste-Foy.The physical St-Foy squad, who are in a three-way tie for third place in the CEGEP ‘AA’ standings with Maisoneuve and Champlain, witnessed their nine point lead fall to pieces with less than two minutes to go in the game.With Ste-Foy up 67-58, Batley nailed a free-throw from the line to chop the lead down to eight points.The Lady Cougars closed in Ste-Foy by adding on a full-court press.REDUCED LEAD The new defence paid off as Caroline Guay registered four points during the final minute by hitting one field goal and two free throws to bring the opponent’s lead down to 67-64.With three seconds left in regulation time, rookie guard Sonia Lessard put up a three-point attempt with the ball sinking right through the net.But it wasn’t all fun and games for the Lady Cougars.Ste-Foy came whipping down the court and with no time left on the clock, Guay fouled an opponent.With the fans banging their feet on the stands, Chantal Petit went to the foul line.Her potential gamewinning foul shot lofted through the air but didn’t hit the basket nor the rim.Air-ball.Both teams exchanged some baskets in the overtime frame with Ste-Foy up by one point when Julie Michaud nailed two free-throws to give the visitors a 71-70 lead.Cougars’ Christine Batley put up the winning basket.“It was a nervous situation for us,” said a smiling Lady Cougars’ head coach Gilles Gaudette after the game.“It was the first time in a couple of years we went into an overtime situation.The Lady Cougars are now 3-4 and hunting down the final playoff berth with Ste-Foy and Maisonneuve.“Ste-Foy, Maisonneuve and Champlain cannot lose a game against Dawson or Vanier,” said Gaudette.Abbott 72 Champlain 59 The Lady Cougars blew a three-point lead at the half as the John Abbott Lady Islanders defeated the Lady Cougars 72-59 Friday night in Lennoxville.Sonia Lessard led the Cougars with a 10-point perfomance in the first half before adding nine in the second half to be the leading scorer with 19 points.Martina van Dervlist was the top Lady Islander scorer with 16 points.“If Ste-Foy wins against John Abbott next week it is entire new WINNIPEG (CP) — The Winnipeg Jets used the NHL all-star break to clean house by completing two trades Monday.The Jets began the day by sending goalie Daniel Berthiaume to Minnesota for future considerations.They then sent centre Ron Wilson to St.Louis for forward Doug Evans.Meanwhile, an unfounded rumor circulated Monday that the Jets would send all-star forward Doug Small to the struggling Quebec Nordiques for defenceman Joe Ci-rella.That rumor got started when Ci-rella didn’t show up for a a team practice because of a broken ankle, a spokesman for the Nordiques said.The rumor received further fuel when Smail’s luggage was lost by the airline and showed up in Quebec.Jets general manager Mike Smith said he didn’t want to deny Wilson the chance to play for the Blues.Wilson, 33, was a player-coach with the Jets’ American Hockey League farm team in Moncton, where he had 16 goals Sonia Lessard sunk the three-point basket to put the Lady Cougars into overtime.and 37 assists.Evans, 26, has split his career between St.Louis and Peoria of the International Hockey League.The Jets traded Berthiaume because of the bad press he received over his off-ice behavior, Smith said.Berthiaume was accused of swearing at children seeking his autograph.He apologized on television, then later denied the incident took place and said he had been ordered to apologize by team management.Smith said the team has enough uoaltending talent to spare the 23-year-old native of Longueuil, Que., and is trading him to Minnesota for future considerations.TOP PLAYER

Canada’s team to learn from mistake AUCKLAND (CP) — Canada’s swimming team hopes to build on the lessons of the 1988 Olympics — including the Ben Johnson scandal — with a new approach and attitude at the Commonwealth Games this month in New Zealand.The emphasis on winning is out, despite a yearning to beat rival Australia, and just “doing your best” is in, says Commonwealth swimming coach Tom Johnson of Vancouver.“The whole Ben Johnson thing should have changed our attitude toward what constitutes a good performance,” said Johnson, whose team enters the Games which begin Wednesday as even favorites with Austrialia to win the meet.“What we need is an atmosphere in which Canadian athletes can go out and be relaxed and confident that the country is behind them instead of living with the expectations people may have of them.“We have to just look at their performance, even if it’s not a winning performance.” Swimming — as much as track — suffered from overblown expectations in 1988, the pressure to win that played a part in Ben Johnson’s ban from racing after being caught using steroids in the 100-metre sprint.A bag of medals was expected from the swim team, but only a remarkable effort on the final two days produced a silver medal in the men’s medley relay and a bronze in the women’s team event.Since the Seoul Games, the individual stars are gone from the team, including Victor Davis who retired and then was killed in November in a traffic incident.NEW CROP But a solid crop of youngsters has come up, including freestyler Patricia Noall of Montreal, breas-tstroker Keltic Duggan of Edmonton and long distance freestyler Turlough O’Hare of Vancouver.As well, Czechoslovak defector Marcel Gery of Toronto, a freestyle and butterfly ace, received his Canadian citizenship this month and will be a team leader, particu-.larly in the relays.Canada and Australia are split as medal favorites in individual events and the unofficial meet championship should be decided in the relays.The two Commonwealth favorites are world swimming powers rated just below the superpowers, the U.S., Soviet Union and East Germany.Canada remains a contender for plenty of individual medals.Nancy Sweetnam of Lindsay, Ont., the star of the Commonwealth trials in November, is a favorite in the individual medleys.On the men’s side, veteran Mark Tewksbury will shoot for gold in the 100-metre backstroke and another veteran, Tom Ponting of Calgary, joins Gery in the 100-metre butterfly.Jon Cleveland of Calgary, who replaced Davis as Canada’s top breaststroker, has improved steadily in the last year but is not expected to win.His main rivals, Adrian Moorhouse and Nick Gillingham of England, are either world record holders or former record holders in both

a diamond trick given up so that the last diamond in the South hand becomes the gamegoing trick.Unfortunately declarer was in a fog He played a club.East won the 10 and returned a heart, won in dummy (another error) Now declarer cashed the diamond ace and crossruffed clubs and diamonds.At the end, out of trumps, he was left with a losing spade and two diamonds in his hand.So the defenders took the last three tricks to set him one trick.None of East’s bidding made sense.The way to compete when an opponent has made a takeout double is to ignore the double.Thus, had East responded with one spade, he would have reached two or three spades.But when South got to four hearts, it was bad judgment to double.James Jacoby’s books “Jacoby on Bridge" and ‘Jacoby on Card Games"(written with his father, the late Oswald Jacoby} are now available at bookstores Both are published by Pharos Books.© 1990, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.Bad judgment is the norm By James Jacoby This was an uneven auction.South, a passed hand, only invited game over North’s takeout double.North passed two hearts because he viewed his values as minimal.Then, when North went back to three hearts after partner had doubled three diamonds for penalties, South bid game, in effect pleading guilty to having underbid with the earlier jump to two hearts.Such inconsistencies are the norm rather than the exception, sad to say.The inconsistency carried over into the play.Declarer won the heart lead in his hand and led the 10 of spades.BRIDGE JAMES JACOBY Tuesday, Jan.23,1990 cfour birthday UA2 can„„ Cû^cQX CANADIAN I SOCIÉTÉ
