TUESDAY 40 cents Mohawks:Thompson joins his troops in jail By Rob Bull MONTREAL (CP) — Loran Thompson, the controversial Mohawk leader who slipped through the clutches of the army and provincial police when Warriors emerged from their stronghold near Oka last week, surrendered Monday to the RCMP.Thompson, 43, was sent to cells at Quebec Police Force headquarters in Montreal.The QPF obtained an arrest warrant against Thompson on Friday, two days after they lost him in a melee near the town of Oka.The warrant said he was wanted on a charge of assault Last Wednesday he made his way past scuffling soldiers, police and Mohawks and back to his home on the Akwesasne reserve near Cornwall.Ont., which straddles the Canada US and Quebec- Ontario borders.His lawyer Robert Bellefeuille said Thompson reported to the RCMP to fulfil one of the conditions established when he was released on bail in June on cigarettesmuggling charges.John Boots, a Mohawk Warrior Struggle for the ball I iP P'-

(CP) — More mysterious circles have turned up in Saskatchewan wheat fields, leaving scientists baffled by the strange markings and people thin king of visitors from outer space.The most recent markings, dis covered two weeks ago near Meath Park, Sask., are attracting a steady flow of curious people to the fields.Meath Park is about 150 ki lometres northeast of Saskatoon.“It’s more than strange that we’ve been growing grain for centuries and it has only been in the past three or four years these have appeared,” said Herman Austen son, a professor of crop sciences at the University of Saskatchewan.Clarence Brulé, who discovered the Meath Park circles, and Aus-tenson aren’t buying explanations the circles are the work of pranks ters or weird weather patterns “I believe they were made by some kind of craft.extraterrestrial or army,” Brulé said He said there are two circles — one inside the other, with the largest about three metres in diameter.The circles are considerably lar ger — but of a similar nature — to one found by farmer Mike Shawa ga about two weeks earlier near Alvena, 30 kilometres northeast of Saskatoon And in late August, a farmer about 180 kilometres northwest of Saskatoon discovered a series of neat, symmetrical patterns in his field.One set of three concentric circles was about 18 metres across with two, two-metre circles near- Society

ATHABASKAN (CP) — Canadian sailors boarded and inspected an Indian vessel on Monday as the Canadian naval task force started operating in the Persian Gulf.The Tippu Sultan, sailing to Umm Qasr, Iraq, to evacuate Indian refugees, was inspected by sailors of HMCS Atha-baskan.The Indian vessel was first challenged by a Sea King helicopter flying a patrol from the Athabaskan.The captain of the Tippu Sultan co-operated fully with the Canadian destroyer, slowing to a speed of five knots and turning slightly to make it easier for the Canadian sailors to board from a small launch in rolling seas.It was the first day the Canadian naval task force had patrolled in the gulf as part of the effort to enforce a blockade against Iraq to punish it for its Aug.2 invasion and annexation of Kuwait.The task group’s combat officer, Lt.-Cmdr.Greg Romanow, said the boarding was “an inspection, with a minimal number of people minimally armed.It was very low-level — nothing more than a courtesy check.” He said the inspection was based on the fact the ship was going north and headed to Iraq.He noted the Athabaskan was asked to inspect the ship by the local commander, a position which is rotated through the ships serving in the region and currently held by an American.“We were asked if we wanted to do it,” he said.“Maybe they were being nice to the new kid on the block.” EMBARGO ENFORCED He explained that while no Iraqi shipping is moving in the region, it’s important that the multinational force demonstrate to all, including Iraq, that the embargo is being enforced.During the inspection, a U.S.warship and a British warship sat behind the Athabaskan.They were there “for mutual support and protection,” Romanow said, and demonstrated the multinational nature of the armada enforcing the economic sanctions against Iraq.The Tippu Sultan had already evacuated one group of refugees to Bombay and is well known to commanders of the armada.Earlier, the Athabaskan asked for identification and information from a tanker minutes after the destroyer reached its operating station.The Athabaskan and HMCS Terra Nova reached their operating waters just northeast of Qatar Monday morning, five weeks after sailing from Halifax.The first ship challenged was the Atlantic Argosy, a Liberian tanker carrying oil to Japan from Saudi Arabia.When asked politely by Cana dian officers, the ship identified itself, gave its destination and cargo and was allowed to proceed.“It was uncanny,” said navy Capt.John Bickford, the commanding officer of Athabaskan.“We had just arrived in the operating area minutes before.” SECTOR BUSY The Athabaskan and Terra Nova challenged six freighters during the first few hours of patrol and Bickford said the sector patrolled by the Canadians appears to be See

tracks near the most recently discovered circles.“They were so well defined — they went from standing stubble to compressed grain.” He said the earth below was not compressed.This past year circles have been found in at least three locations in northern Saskatchewan and another half-dozen in Manitoba Scientists are also studying similar occurrences in England and Australia.More than 1.000 circular patterns have been discovered in England.By Robert Russo OTTA W A (C PI — Th ree senators out of 112 may decide whether Canadians will pay the goods and services tax.But it appears the Conservatives have the trio’s support and can win a close vote on the tax in the upper chamber.The Liberals could still block the tax for some time by tying up the Senate with procedural moves, but hope appeared to be waning Monday that they can defeat the seven-per-cent GST once it comes to a vote.“The num bers are so fine that we can’t build a strategy on the basis of us winning a vote,” said Royce Frith, deputy leader for the Liberals in the Senate.‘ ‘ Any strategy based on numbers would be flukey." Prime Minister Brian Mulro-ney’s move to boost the number of senators by eight last week gave the Conservatives 54 seats compared to the Liberals’ 52.There is also one Reform party senator, four Independents and one Independent Liberal.Two of the Liberal senators, Ha-zen Argue and David Croll, have had recent stays in hospital and are said to be ailing.It’s unlikely that Argue will turn up for a vote, but Frith said it’s too early to count out the 90-year-old Croll."If he can possibly be here, he will be here,” said Frith.He also said British Columbia Senator George van Roggen will return from an overseas trip in time to be in his seat today.But the Liberals could lose a supporter if a vote is held after this Thursday, when Manitoba's Joe Guay is scheduled to retire.The fate of the GST will likely depend on the votes of the six non-Tories and non-Liberals.Stan Waters, the lone Reform senator from Alberta, and Ed Lawson of British Colubmia have both stated that they will vote against the tax.SOUL SEARCHING After some soul searching, Daniel Lang said Monday he will also vote against the GST.Lang said he thinks the goods and services tax is the right way to go, but he doesn’t believe the government will properly use the billions in extra revenue it will raise.“I don’t believe this government is going to put the extra money it’s going to get into reducing the deficit,” he said in a telephone interview from Toronto.“They’re going to use it to buy another political victory.” Those three votes could produce a 54-54 tie.But three other Independents — Senators Hartland Molson.Michael Pitfield and Douglas Everett — are likely to vote with the gover nment.Pitfield, who could not be rea ched for comment, said in an inter view last week that “some form of value-added tax is desirable and inevitable.” Everett would not say which way he is leaning when reached by telephone in Winnipeg, but he has also told reporters before that he supports the GST.Molson has said he is opposed to the tax, but he feels even more strongly about the supremacy of the elected House of Commons over the appointed Senate.Their votes would likely make it 57-54 in favor of the tax “It's not so much we have the numbers as much as they don’t have the numbers,” said an aide to Senator Lowell Murray, the gover nment leader in the Senate.Speaker Guy Charbonneau, who is a Conservative, would only vote in the event of a tie.Supreme Court will rule on legality of town courts OTTAWA (CP) — A ruling that the Quebec municipal court system is unconstitutional will be challenged in the Supreme Court of Canada.The Supreme Court gave the province leave Monday to appeal the Sept.13 ruling by the Quebec Court of Appeal A hearing date will be set later.The appeal court ruled that the municipal court system infringes on the Charter of Rights and Free- doms guarantee of a hearing before an independent and impartial tribunal The court of appeal criticized the use of part time judges to deal with cases involving municipal bylaw and traffic infractions.About 100 municipal court judges, some covering several municipalities, deal with some 300,000 bylaw infractions a year in Quebec.Bird kill: Cormorant cull is working but.By Daniel Sanger QUEBEC (CP) — A controversial program to reduce radically the number of cormorants along the St.Lawrence River has killed 4000 of the black seabirds and 95,000 of their eggs.But after 18 months it still hasn’t done away with opposition to the cull by bird lovers and conservation groups who question the drastic measures taken by the government.The program was announced in the spring of 1989 by the Quebec Ministry of Recreation.Fish and Game as a regrettable but necessary way to deal with the exploding population of cormorants which threatened other bird species, in particular the eider duck.The long-necked, hook-beaked cormorant was overrunning other birds’ habitat and destroying the vegetation on several islands with their highly acidic droppings, the department said It announced 10,000 of the birds would be killed over five years and 60 to 70 per cent of their eggs destroyed — a plan that drew immediate fire.On Monday, Michel Lepage, the man in charge of the program, said with 4000 birds shot and 95,000 eggs destroyed, the scheme is nearly half finished.RAISE ISSUE But opponents said they still question the wisdom of the slaughter.“We're not fundamentally oppo sed to a cull but in this case the evidence is not there to support it,” Theresa Aniskowicz, conservation director of the Canadian Nature Federation, said in an interview from Ottawa.“It may not be for the good of the ecosystem in general.” Aniskowicz said no one knows the natural population level of the cormorants along the St.Lawrence River where they have traditionally nested on barren, rocky islands or on cliff sides.The government took action when the cormorants grew to a population of about 34 non in 1987, from 12,000 eight years earlier, and when they colonized other islands used by eider ducks, warblers and flycatchers.“How do we know they’re not just regaining their former population level?” said Aniskowicz.“Even if they’re not, it’s quite likely that there's a natural cycle in which the birds get very numerous and then die off.” Aniskowicz said the culling of the cormorants might maintain an abnormally high number of eider ducks nesting in the St.Lawrence.The eider ducks line their nests with a soft down which is gathered and sold to make pillows or comforters.Even bird lovers who agree with the need to reduce the cormorant population have a problem with the way it’s being done.OPPOSE PLAN “I’m not in favor of going out and banging the birds with a gun because you get too many cripples, but I'm not opposed to the egg control program,” said David Bird, a professor of wildlife studies at Montreal’s McGill University and a prominent ornithologist.“Going out and shooting them because there are too many is almost like saying 'You’ve got a bug problem — get the DDT'.” Lepage says the government was reluctant to kill live birds.“We would have preferred to do it just by killing the eggs — that's much more acceptable for the public.” But he defended the program because the cormorants were squeezing other species out of their traditional habitat and killing vegetation that takes decades to reestablish itself in the cold and stormy waters of the St.Lawrence.He said the population explosion of the cormorants was likely caused by organic pollution creating a large food supply or the small fish on which the birds feed.“But what have been their predators in recent decade — pesticides like DDT and fishermen who kill them because they eat their catch — have also helped."he said i 2__The RECORD—Tuesday, October 2, 1990 Farnham: Army camp to be empty again soon?By Sharon McCully FARNHAM — A convoy of 130 military vehicles and 600 soldiers left Oka shortly after nine Monday morning, arriving at the Farnham army base around noon Army spokesman Capt.Mike Fabbro said the troops will set up camp and remain in Farnham until the provincial police no longer require their services.Fabbro said the military vehicles travelled from Kanesatake in convoys of five to seven vehicles depending upon the length of the vehicles.Just before noon, four busloads of soldiers arrived at the base, followed by a contingent of armed personnel carriers, jeeps, panel trucks, water bowsers, and tracked vehicles.BIG CONTINGENT One Mohawk supporter, waiting to visit a family member inside the army barracks, remarked the federal government sent more troops to Kanesatake and Kahnawake “to watch the Indians” than it sent to the Persian Gulf.Army officials are expecting their duties at Farnham to end Tuesday after the last of 23 Mohawks in their custody appear in court at St-Jérome for bail hearings.One woman outside the army gateposts said she feared if the Mohawks are released after court appearances tomorrow, they will be picked up by the Quebec Police Force.Lawyers for the natives told worried family members last week that once released on bail, the QPF “would not and could not” re-arrest people for the same crimes.“I’ll believe it when I see it,” commented the wife of one detai- nee.“One guy who wasn’t even in the treatment centre was picked up by the SQ last week for a 1983 traffic violation and he’s in Parthe-nais now." A handful of wives and families of Warriors waited outside the army gates Monday morning hoping to get in to visit.“They told the media that visiting hours were from 11-7 o’clock Sunday, but it was two o’clock Sunday afternoon before anyone was allowed in, said the same woman, who refused to give her name.CHILDREN TOO Another native added that army officers frisked all visitors before allowing them into the compound — women and children included.“They even squeezed the baby’s diapers," he said.“We tried to prepare the children for what they would see when they came to visit their fathers, but one little fellow was terrified when he saw all the soldiers with guns,” said the woman.“He was crying and asking if they were going to shoot his father.” The role of children in the Mo- hawk crisis has been the subject of much comment throughout the 78 day stand-off.Many argue that children should not have been at the treatment centre or exposed to the dangers of armed soldiers and Warriors at all.But others question the overnight detainment of children as young as 4-years-old at the army encampment last Wednesday night, and the on-going presence of troops and armored vehicles on the Kahnawake reserve “Is that what you’d want your kids to see every time they go out of the house,” asked one native woman bitterly?V, lllyljl Going home?Some troops of the 5th Mechanized Brigade moved a bit closer to home Monday, breaking camp at St-Benoit near Oka and taking up temporary residence at Farnham army camp.Keeping up its war of tricks on the press, the army told reporters the convoy would enter the camp at one entrance, then entered by another gate.That didn ’t fool everyone.record photos sharon mcCui.ly Police: Working hard on image in Akwesasne to reserve duty work on a weekly rotation system.“That ensures fresh manpower and averts burnout,” said Guay of the OPP.Lt.Mario Choquette of the QPF said about 80 members are on duty on the Quebec sector which consists of St-Régis village and the Chenail district.“In addition to providing law enforcement, we have launched a community program aimed at improving the image of the police,” he said.Police officers go to reserve schools to explain their work and have organized sporting events such as baseball games to establish better relations with the community.“It is similar to the programs we run in other parts of Quebec,” he said.Choquette also noted that on Wednesday, the RCMP and Quebec officers working on the Quebec sector donated $500 to a local community recreation committee.The money was collected from a coffee fund set up by the officers.Earlier, they presented a $500 cheque to the local elementary school to buy recreation equipment.“These kind of initiatives will show the people here that we are not monsters and we want to be friends,” said RCMP Insp.Réjean Fafare, who is in charge of the force’s reserve operation.By Dan Karon Ottawa Citizen CORNWALL, Ont.(CP) — A massive police presence is still in effect on the St.Regis Akwesasne Indian reserve and it is costing Canadian taxpayers millions of dollars.The total tab for the more than 200 RCMP, at least 80 members of the Quebec Police Force and 35 Ontario Provincial Police officers on the reserve has not yet been tabulated because the operation has not been completed, said officials for the three police forces.But the cost for just the OPP officers assigned to the reserve is about $100,000 a week, said OPP spokesman Supt.Bob Guay.He said the total includes overtime pay, accommodation, meals and incidental costs such as dry cleaning but not regular wages and vehicle maintenance.Taxpayers will also have to pick up the bill for about 40 members of the Canadian Armed Forces statio-ned in Cornwall, providing communication and transportation support for police.The Canadian police moved on to the reserve on May 1 to restore order.The same day, about 100 New York State troopers moved into the U S.side of the border reserve.Two Mohawks were killed in gun battles between pro- and antigambling Mohawks feuding over the operation of casinos on the American sector.The reserve is home to about 9800 Mohawks.About 4500 of the reserve residents live in the New York State sector that is geographically sandwiched between the Ontario and Quebec portions.Police in the American and Quebec sectors continue to run 24-hour roadside checks.MUST STAY “Our orders, like those of our Canadian colleagues, are to stay as long as necessary and I don’t know how long that will be,” said Col.Gary Dunne, New York State Police assistant deputy superintendent.“There is no question about it, it is a costly but necessary operation,” he said, adding that the estimated cost so far for maintaining about 85 troopers on the reserve is “well over $4 million US.” The Canadian officers assigned reserve, “until the provincial government sends us home,” Fabbro said.Premier Robert Bourassa said last week he has asked the military to stay until it is clear there is no chance of any further flare-ups.“There is still a feeling that public order has not been reestablished in and around the Kahnawake area,” said Capt.Marc Rouleau, an army spokesman.“Agitators on both sides have heightened the tensions.” After the Mohawks surrendered at Oka last Wednesday, there was a confrontation between Mohawks and troops near the reserve.A soldier who was hit with a pipe during the row is in satisfactory condition in hospital with contusions and a broken rib.During the standoff, armed War-riors blocked a bridge and highways leading to Montreal from suburbs near the reserve.They did so after provincial police failed in an attempt July 11 to enforce a court order to remove a Mohawk barricade erected near Oka to protest a planned golf course development.A policeman was killed during the attack.CAUSED RIOTS The bridge blockade caused riots during several nights in August as commuters, angry over the long detours forced on them by the blockade, threw rocks and bricks at police.In Ottawa, Indian Affairs Minister Tom Siddon met with Mohawk representatives from Oka on Monday to begin discussions on the transfer to the natives of the land that was at the centre of the confrontation.Meanwhile, Crown Prosecutor François Briere said his file on the Mohawk crisis has grown to about 65 people facing over 300 charges.As many as 20 Mohawks were in court in St-Jérome on Monday for bail hearings and to set dates for further court appearances.Ronald Cross, 33, nicknamed La-sagna, and Denis Nicholas, 48, also known as Psycho, appeared for a bail hearing that was postponed until today when a translator failed to appear at the Quebec Court room.Cross, one of the most militant and visible of the Warriors, faces 38 charges, including five counts of uttering threats against soldiers, assault, breaking and entering, illegal possession of stolen goods and participating in a riot.Nicholas faces seven charges including possession of a dangerous weapon and obstructing justice.Two adolescents, whose names cannot be published, appeared in juvenile court on the same charges.MOHAWKS: Continued from page one never one to run and hide from anybody.He always puts up a fight.” Some Mohawks have said Thompson influenced others in Kahnawake and Kahnesatake to continue the fight for weeks after moderates wanted to bring down the barricades.But Thompson played an active role in negotiations with federal and provincial government representatives.And he was credited by some observers with helping in the healing process among the Mohawks as tensions heightened during the standoff.For years Thompson worked as a high-steel iron worker.The father of eight children in their teens and 20s, he was divorced from his wife who recently died.He was an energetic proponent ' of Mohawk sovereignty and was removed as a traditional chief in Akwesasne after he tried to start a high-stakes bingo operation there.Two years ago he moved to Kahnawake with his girlfriend and became a Mohawk language teacher.On June 25, he was arrested at Mansonville near the Quebec-Vermont border and charged with possessing 3600 smuggled cartons of cigarettes.He was released on bail pending a preliminary hearing scheduled for later this month.As more people appeared in court Monday to answer charges from the 11-week standoff, the army moved out of Oka to the military base at Farnham, south of Montreal.Army spokesman Capt.Mike Fabbro said the 600 troops and 130 vehicles of the 2nd Battalion Royal 22nd Regiment, the Van Doos, arrived in Farnham early Monday afternoon.The troops will stay at the base, 50 kilometres from the Kahnawake Continued from page one quite busy.Romanow stressed that operating stations are chosen by consensus among the allies, and they coordinate their efforts through meetings of naval commanders about every two weeks.There are about 50 warships operating in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman, about half of

West Germany.The fighter aircraft are scheduled to arrive in the region in the next few days to provide air cover for the ships.A decision is expected soon WILL FUEL SHIPS If the Protecteur is assigned to act as command ship, it will spend more time in port that originally planned, but will sail out to fuel the other ships every few days.Air cover over the Canadian ope rating waters is currently coordinated by the United States Marine Corps and the CF-18s could be integrated into that structure, Romanow said The Canadian ships are operating within range of Iraqi aircraft, and some of the most modern and powerful U.S.and British anti-air ships are in the region to protect the multinational force from air attack.The fleet also has early-warning aircraft patrolling overhead

well-equipped to defend themselves in the unlikely event of an attack.Speaking of the systems added to the destroyer escort Terra Nova, Romanow said: “It’s an absolute beauty of a package.They took an old warship and fitted it up as good as anything out there.” Defence writer Paul Mooney of CP Ottawa is the print representative in a small media pool aboard the Canadian taskforce in the Persian

Middle East.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Iraqi President Saddam Hussein must get his forces out of Kuwait fast or he will be “in enormous difficulties.” Bush, addressing the UN General Assembly in New York, said there could be new impetus to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict if Iraq pulls out of Kuwait.It was the first time since the crisis began eight weeks ago that Bush has linked it to wider Middle East issues.His remarks were similar to those to the world body by French President Francois Mitterrand last week, which Saddam welcomed in part on Sunday.‘‘Today, the (Iraqi) regime stands isolated and out of step with the times, separated from the civilized world not by space, but by centuries,” Bush said.British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher said Iraq should be made to pay reparations for damage in Kuwait after a withdrawal and its soldiers put on trial for any crimes committed there.“You can't go in and cause all the damage and desolation that Saddam Hussein has caused without expecting to pay some compensation for that,” she told U.S.television.Britain announced it will increase its presence in the gulf to 15,000 troops and support personnel.BY GARRY TRUDEAU

I 11 ^ By Dan Hawaleshka LENNOXVILLE - Workers at the Union Screen Plate factory want their next three-year contract to include a yearly cost-oMiving clause.Some 107 unionized workers at the USP Industries factory, which makes metal screens for the pulp \> Bernard Roberge.‘Over three years, it isn’t worth anything.’ and paper industry, have been on strike since Friday.Their last labor contract expired Sept.21.Management say past three-year contracts have all had a cost-of-living clause in only the last two years.“We never give any in the first year.And this year they want it — and that's where the problem is,” USP general manager Gilles Nan-tel said on Monday.Nantel said he has asked the Quebec government for a conciliator to help end the strike.He said it could be a week before one is appointed.The company has offered its employees a three-year contract.In a vote Sept.23 they rejected that offer by 61 per cent COST OF LIVING In the first year workers would get a 5.5 per cent raise, but no cost-of-living allowance.In the second and third years they have been offered a five per cent raise, plus the coveted COLA clause.Nantel said he understands employee concerns over the federal goods and services tax due to take effect in January.So the company has offered a $200 signing bonus to help soften the GST, Nantel said.The money translates into a 9C per-hour raise up front, he said.“That should make them more secure because that nine cents is immediate.” But union president Bernard Roberge wants nothing to do with the offer.“We’re not interested in the $200.If you calculate it over three years, it isn't worth anything." Roberge, who heads the FTQ Métallos union, said a cost of living clause could benefit the company.“If the cost of living doesn’t go up Well, it’ll be the company that’ll make money,” Roberge said.SCEPTICAL Nantel said he is sceptical about the effects of the GST.“It has bugger all to do with it.For me, it's an excuse,” Nantel said.“The GST could have an inflationary effect, but who knows?” On the other hand, Nantel says the USP salary offer “is very good." Roberge said the strike isn’t just about money.He said employees work in three eight-hour shifts.But 28 of them do jobs no one else in the plant can do, Roberge said.These specialized workers have to work 8Y2 hours, he said.When the union asked that everyone work equal shifts, the request was flatly rejected.“They didn’t want to talk about it,” Roberge said.USP Industries Inc.began in Sherbrooke in 1904 as Union Screen Plate.In 1905 it built its Lennox-ville factory.The company primarily manufactures screens used in the pulp and paper industry.The company is a division of Canadian A demand by striking employees that Union Screen Plate give them a GST protection clause is just 'an excuse’, says plant manager Gilles Nantel.Aviation Electronics (CAE) Industries, well known for its flight

also been broken.Roberge said he does not know who broke it.He said he was told it might have been local university students.Asked if he believed that, he said : "More or less.” He said he didn’t see it happen Fifteen workers man the picket lines during the day Two shifts of seven strikers walk the line the rest of the time, Roberge said.Both sides say they remain open to negotiations.Magog: Pedestrians find even crosswalks not enough By Scott Verity Stevenson MAGOG — A woman struck by a cyclist last week was released from hospital Sunday, four days after she was admitted to Sherbrooke University hospital.Lillian Whitehead was hit by a 16-year-old cyclist as she was crossing St.Patrice Street east in Magog.She had been visiting a cousin in La Providence hospital.Following the accident, attendants at La Providence were not sure whether to admit Whitehead or send her home.Shortly afterward she was sent to Sherbrooke University hospital (CHUS) where she was diagnosed in serious condition with a fractured skull, broken ribs, and other injuries.Family members complained that cyclists don’t respect traffic laws in the Magog area.But Cst.Raymond Poulin, responsible for bike safety and accidents, said Magog police don’t receive many complaints against cyclists.He said they give a fair num ber of warnings, however — especially to teenagers.MORE DEFENSIVE But Magog resident Charles Cat-chpaugh said there are numerous complaints against cyclists in Magog, especially from senior citizens.One such senior, Leo Corcoran, said cyclists don’t know or obey the rules.“Some aren’t even aware they’re breaking the law,” he said.“At my age I’ve learned to become extremely more defensive,” Corcoran said.“The police are more lax on the enforcement of the laws than

said.“The situation is not much better than anywhere else.” NO CHARGES Poulin said no charges would be laid against the 16-year old in last week’s accident.“It’s very diffi- cult to determine who had

of negligent homi cide Friday, a state trooper’s widow filed a suit which prevents Bilodeau from retrieving his .$100,000 US bail.New Hampshire attorney Gerard Boyle filed the lawsuit on behalf of Debra Gearty.widow of trooper Joseph Gearty.Gearty’s husband died after Bi- lodeau’s tractor trailer lost its load of lumber last November.The wood crashed into an oncoming police cruiser, killing troopers Gearty and Gary Parker, as well as their prisoner Brian Goodwin.Grafton County Superior Court Judge Robert Morrill approved Friday’s action only minutes after a jury had declared Bilodeau not guilty.The lawsuit also prevents his employer Richard Pelletier from retrieving the rig, which is valued at $150.000 U S.It is currently being held in Concord, N IL EXPENSIVE “I think they’ll consider it a victory once they have us spend as much money (in legal fees) as possible,” said Bilodeau’s lawyer Jean-Pierre Rancourt, at a news conference Monday.Rancourt said the court had no right to seize the bail money be cause it does not belong to Bilodeau.He said the money was borrowed for bail by corporate and private sponsors.“What I don’t like is the way it Future: Townshippers seek citizen

individuals interested in holding a jam session on the future of Quebec and Canada.Townshippers president Myrna MacAulay said the result will be a grassroots view of Quebec and Canada .“We have no idea of the outcome of the discussions,” MacAulay said in an interview.“We hope everyone will go into the discussions with an open mind, and offer some productive and concrete suggestions for the future.” The Townshippers Association will co ordinate the Eastern Townships leg of the province-wide consultation in conjunction with Alliance Quebec.The regional association will then present its own brief based on Townships findings to the provin- cial consultation commission.TIGHT DEADLINE MacAulay said the November 2 deadline set by the Quebec commission doesn’t leave much time for the consultation process.Still, she believes, groups and individuals who feel strongly about the future will respond to the invitation and let their opinions be known.“The success or failure of the

have asked him whether the money belonged to Bilodeau.Instead, the seizure was done behind his back, and will cost Bilodeau unnecessary lawyer’s fees to settle, he said.Rancourt said the manager of Coaticook’s Caisse Populaire will swear in a statement that Bilodeau doesn’t own the money He said Bilodeau's lenders should have their money back in two weeks at most.For his part Bilodeau said he too would like to see people get their money back as soon as possible.NOT MINE “It doesn't belong to me,” Bilodeau said.Some of the money came from wealthy businesses, he said, but a lot of it is from people who don't have much money.“There's all kinds of people who lent us $1000.You know, it didn't all come from deep pockets ’’ In the document calling for the freeze on Bilodeau's U S.assets, widow

filed along with an affi davit by trooper Cpl.Kevin Ha milton.In his affidavit Hamilton claims the accident was the result of Bilodeau crossing over into the oncoming lane of traffic As a result of

Will UN summit make a difference?World leaders claim to have found ways to greatly reduce child deaths, malnutrition and disease, but they will have to join actions with words before their well-intentioned wishes become a reality.After feasting on sole and veal at a weekend banquet, 71 prime ministers, presidents and monarchs discussed the grim realities of malnutrition, disease and other crises which are killing millions of children in under developed countries each year.The UN children s summ-mit made saving lives sound simple.If so, why has so little been done till now?And will the summit really make a difference?The great majority of child deaths in poor countries are caused by common, preventable diseases such as tetanus, polio and measles, along with conditions that can be treated, such as diarrhea.Vaccines as cheap as seven cents a dose can save many of those lives.The heads of state and government set the easily attainable goal of reducing the near 15 million deaths annually of children under five by one-third by the year 2000.But the leaders didn’t back up their summit declaration with any binding promises or pledges of money.And while they were discussing children in front of the TV cameras — many leaders, including George Bush and Brian Mulroney, took advantage of the meeting to discuss war in private.UN officials said the kiddie plan, which also includes universal access to basic education, will require between $4 billion and $6 billion a year.The U.S.military spends that much in a week.The plan, if the leaders are really serious about it, is but the first easy step in a long and complicated battle.Before it succeeds, a lot of political will is needed.It remains to be seen whether world leaders will put out the time, effort and financial resources needed to succeed.The death of a child is a tragedy.The death of 15 million children each year — horrible deaths which could so easily be avoided — is obscene.Talk is easy, but what is needed is action — action now.RITA LEGAULT Bluenose III should be self-paying deal HALIFAX (CP) — The Nova Scotia government wants the Bluenose III to sail on its own.After giving approval in principle last week to construction of a new Bluenose schooner, the province is planning to make it largely a self-paying proposition.The 27-year-old Bluenose II, which has become the most recognizable symbol of Nova Scotia, has fallen victim to dry rot, and a consultant’s report says it must be replaced.The Bluenose III could become a tourist attraction before she even leaves the shipbuilder's slips.Tourism Minister Roland Thornhill said on the weekend.Making a production out of the construction of the Bluenose III — and charging people to see it — is one way to finance the $5-million project.Thornhill said.“I think it’s possible there will be a charge to see the building with all the funds going toward costs,” he said.The province is keen to find private backing for the project to avoid swamping taxpayers with the bill, Thornhill said.Several corporations want to get involved and a proper fundraising campaign might mean little or nothing would have to come from the public purse.HAS SHORT LIST No shipbuilder has been chosen yet, but the government has a short list of companies in Lunenburg County, where both the original Bluenose and the Bluenose II were built.“It seems the most appropriate place,” Thornhill said.He did not know whether the job would be tendered, but a firm will be chosen by early next year.The new ship is expected to be completed by 1994.The original Bluenose is the schooner proudly depicted on the back of the Canadian 10-cent piece since 1937.Built at the Smith and Rhuland shipyard in Lunenburg, the Bluenose combined saltbank fishing with impressive racing victories.When the age of sail ended in the fishery, she was stripped of her masts and sold to the Caribbean for the freighting trade In her old age, she hit a reef and sank near Haiti in 1946.The Bluenose II was built in 1963 for the Olands, a wealthy Halifax brewing family.They turned it over to the province in 1971 for $1.Since then, it has had $3.5 million worth of repairs, including extensive repairs to dry rot a few years back Now two years past the 25-year life expectancy she was given when built, she is again suffering from dry rot.this time more serious.HULL ROTTING A recent consultant’s report said half her hull is rot ting and it would be tew expensive to repair the damage At least one senior member of the Oland family disa grees.Bruce Oland said he believes the Bluenose II has another 50 years of life in her.The people who prepared the report should get away from their university desks and get the facts by talking to the shipwrights who have worked on the schooner, he said “She’s got a lot of life in hcr I don't think we should take this dry-rot thing too seriously.” Every wooden ship in the world has some dry rot but continues to work, he said “I would be the first passenger to sail around the world on Bluenose II I would take my family, and that includes sailing around the Horn.” Supreme Court more influential since 1982 charter The Supreme Court of Canada has become much more influential under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, proclaimed in 1982.Many court decisions — on abortion, Sunday shopping and mandatory retirement, for example — have wide social impact.Here’s a look at the Supreme Court and its nine justices.By Jim Coyle The Canadian Press Piety, not to mention perseverance, must have been a trait of a Montrealer named James Johnston.In 1872, he tussled with church trustees over his right to a favorite pew.The spat culminated five years later in the Supreme Court of Canada, where the aggrieved worshipper’s appeal was upheld in a 4-2 decision.In all, this foofaraw accounted for 63 pages of the court’s report that year.The Supreme Court has come a long way since it settled such trifling matters.Today, its nine members decide issues with significant social and political implications: abortion, Sunday shopping, language battles, police powers, freedom of expression, mandatory retirement.And the court, under newly named Chief Justice Antonio Lamer, is likely to remain as is for most of this decade — its members are relatively young — as Canada continues the process of defining life after the Charter of Rights.Behind the requisite decorum of ermine-trimmed scarlet robes and walnut-panelled chambers in an imposing courthouse overlooking the Ottawa River, the nine judges are an eclectic collection of talents, tastes and backgrounds.Earner’s bench includes, in order of seniority, Bertha Wilson, Gerard La-Forest, Claire L’Heureux-Dube, John Sopinka, Peter Cory, Charles Gonthier, Beverley McLachlin and William Stevenson.Three from Quebec, three from Ontario, one from Atlantic Canada and two from the West.SET TEAM Barring death or early retirement before the mandatory age of 75, the court will not change until 1998 when Wilson retires.Their biographical sketches read like a tour of small-town Canada — with birthplaces like Grand Falls, N.B., Broderick, Sask., and Pincher UYppk Alta.Among them are a Rhodes Scholar — La Forest — and a former professional football player — Sopinka.There’s a British Columbian with the glamorous cut of a fashion model — McLachlin.And there’s a 64-year-old former RCAF pilot and squash aficionado who regularly thrashes competitors half his age — Cory.There’s a brilliant Scottish immigrant who made good in her chosen land and chosen profession —Wilson And, heading the court, there’s Lamer, a graduate of Montreal’s mean streets.The rise of these justices through the legal ranks to a position on Canada’s top court did not bring great wealth.At $171,600 annually for the chief justice and $158,900 for the others, most make far less than they could in private practice.It also does not mean an easy life — hours are long, pressure high, stress-related illness and early retirement common from a court that will cost about $14 million this year to run.Nor does the position tend to bring the celebrity status enjoyed even by third-rate hockey players.On a recent midweek morning, Sopinka surveyed the newspaper rack in a tuck shop in Ottawa across the street from the Indian High Commission, took his purchase to the cash register and handed over a few coins.“Thanks, pal,” grunted the clerk, who in another place would have been addressing the man before him a little more decorously.MORE POWER Still, in post-charter Canada, Supreme Court judges have significant new power and influence and apparently increased willingness to speak publicly on issues of the day.Frequently, they make headlines, whether it’s Wilson criticizing sexism in the law or Sopinka telling women the charter is no panacea for social inequality."We’ve seen a shift in the relationship between judges and the public,” says Donna Greschner, a law professor at the University of Saskatchewan.“What the charter’s done, of course, is to make them a very signifi-cant part of government in this country.“They have, I think, the responsibility to explain what it is they do, how it is they think.Not to be removed in dusty offices in an old building in Ottawa but to be out and about with the public.” Canada’s official residences cost taxpayers millions OTTAWA (CP) — It cost taxpayers $7.4 million last year to maintain the country's seven official residences, despite a cut to the renovations budget.The total for the past two years, the period covered in the Official Residences Council’s third report, is $14.4 million.The council, created in 1984 to oversee management of the official residences of the Governor General, political leaders and a guest-house for visiting dignitaries, had its three-year budget for major renovations cut by $6 million last year.Expenditures include $3.9 million for a complete renovation of the west wing at Rideau Hall in 1988 and $4.4 million spent last year on the 162-year-old building’s basement and a minor addition to the west wing for catering purposes.The basement of the Governor General’s 175-room residence was modified to provide a lobby, public washrooms, conference room, elevator and security monitoring station.In addition, it cost $1.3 million in operating expenses to run Rideau Hall last year and $1.2 million in 1988-89.The historic 17th-century Citadel in Quebec City is also an official residence for the Governor General.Total capital and operating expenses for this 153-room structure last year was $439,000 and $685,000 the previous year.The government's fiscal restraint has delayed replacement of the leaky copper and cedar shingle roofs of the prime minister's residence at at 24 Sussex Drive.Stop-gap repairs have been made to halt further deterioration.Expenditures for 24 Sussex last year amounted to $219,000 in operating costs and $23,000 in repairs.Other residences under the council’s mandate are Stornoway, home of the leader of the Opposition, 7 Rideau Gate for visiting dignitaries, The Farm at Kingsmere for the Speaker of the Commons, and Harrington Lake, the prime minister’s summer residence.Nobel Prize nominee led thousands in Tiananmen OTTAWA (CP) — There are no tears now, just a quiet determination glowing from dark eyes that have seen more violence and tragedy than most.This woman led thousands of students in the pro-democracy rallies last year in Tiananmen Square in Beijing.Thousands were reported killed when the Chinese military quashed the demonstrations.Chai Ling, a Nobel Prize nominee, was in Ottawa on Sunday along with the Dalai Lama, the spiritual leader of Tibet, to unveil a monument to human rights.The spark of a movement is still alive, she says.Chai, now 24, was the commandant.Barely five feet tall, she’s still on the Beijing government’s most-wanted list.Some on that list have been executed.Others — there are no documented numbers — are serving long terms in prison.Others are missing.She and her husband, Feng Gongde, emerged last April in Hong Kong where she announced their escape from China after spending 10 months underground.Since the long trek from Beijing, Chai has been suffering from ulcers.She is constantly surrounded by supporters, paranoid of being followed.From Hong Kong, she travelled to France, which gave her refugee status.She visited the United States on an eight-city tour, quietly seeking help for the underground in China.“There are still students and workers in hiding in the underground,” she says.She says the underground, which reaches into the countryside, has kept IN CA’iE Of /ATTACK IHE U.S.WILL CONFER WITH FRENCH,BRITISH AND 01HE.R ALLIED

come true on Wednesday when he becomes the first chancellor of a united Germany.A year ago, he thought he would never see unity come.The 78 million other Germans didn't think so either.But come it has, 11 hectic months after the Berlin Wall burst open, and Kohl can bask in glory as the central figure of the “history-in-a-hurry” drama that Germans will cap with three days of festivities in Berlin.Admitting the sudden sweep of events sometimes brought tears of joy to his eyes.Kohl asked an interviewer this week: “Why shouldn’t people weep for joy on such a day?” The folksy 60-year-old chancellor, now in his eighth year in power, hardly seems the type to achieve the merger Bonn has sought since sealing the postwar division in 1949.A clumsy hulk of a man, Kohl is more at home swapping stories with local politicians than debating with world leaders as his suave predecessor, Helmut Schmidt, loved to do His habit of striving for grand gestures, of sentimentally evoking Germany’s pre-Nazi glories and using once-shunned words like Fatherland” sometimes as a hollow, vote chasing ring.Never a very popular leader, Kohl even risked being ousted by his own allies last year as their Christian Democratic Union lost one state election after another.But it was Kohl, more than any other leader, who saw German history suddenly picking up speed and marched ahead with his usual determination to steer it his way.The drama was written on Kohl’s fleshy face as he seized the initiative time and again to make sure the Germans united before the enthusiasm dimmed, his allies balked or the Kremlin — the main opponent of a merger — got cold feet.STATURE Kohl’s stature rose as East Germany collapsed He overruled Bundes- bank (central bank) head Karl Otto Poehl on an East-West monetary union and won approval for Germany’s NATO membership from Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev.“When else could we achieve unity if not now?” he asked critics complaining about the huge costs of unity and the social problems such a rapid merger would cause.The 60-year old chancellor— who is six feet four inches tall and weighs 250 pounds — has the bulk to match his clout.But he has been written off more than once in the last eight years.He first ran for chancellor in 1976, narrowly losing to Schmidt, and had to stand aside as Franz Josef Strauss, the most stirring orator on the right, made his own unsuccessful bid for the top.Kohl finally made it in 1982 when the small Free Democratic party deserted Schmidt and formed a government.with him.A stumbling, sometimes slurring speaker, Kohl made his most celebrated gaffe in 1986 when he compared Gorbachev to Hitler’s propaganda chief Josef Goebbcls.Moscow was not amused.But he has proved to be just as skilled at weathering political storms as he is at whipping them up His refusal early this year to recognize Poland's western border — a sop to right wingers who still claim old German lands to the east of the postwar frontier — brought more criticism.Facts and figures about united Germany BONN (Reuter) — CAPITAL: Berlin.Parliament and government will meet in Bonn until all-German parliament decides on permanent

OTTAWA (CP) — Legislation to privatize Petro-Canada, the government oil company with 3,300 gas stations across the country, was introduced Monday in the Commons.John McDermid, minister responsible for privatization, said the first 15 per cent of Petro-Canada will go on sale once market conditions are right.But he said a share offering by the end of the year, as promised in the February budget, looks doubtful.“I think the stock will be well te-ceived by the Canadian public,” the junior finance minister said outside the Commons.The Crown corporation, set up in 1975 by the Liberals as a “window on the industry, has grown to become the largest Canadian-owned oil company with assets estimated at $6.8 billion.The sale will the largest privatization in Canadian history.McDermid said Petro-Canada will remain in Canadian hands and its sale won t hamper government pfforts to deal with oil prices that have soared because of the Persian Gulf crisis.‘‘We must remember, Petro-Canada doesn’t control prices at the pumps — that is set by market forces,” McDermid said.New Democrats quickly attacked the legislation as sheer folly and used procedural tactics to delay first reading.But the Tory majority pushed through first reading 112-69.Lome Nystrom, NDP privatiza tion critic, said that with oil prices hitting $40 US a barrel.Petro-Canada could play a vital role protecting consumers.“This is the worst possible time to privatize Petro-Canada — we have an oil crisis now in the Middle East,” said Nystrom.Petro-Canada was created after the OPEC oil crisis in the early 1970s to increase Canadian owner- ship in the U.S.-dominated oil patch and to ensure that consu mers wouldn't be gouged.NOT USEFUL McDermid said Petro-Canada, a Tory privatization target since 1984, has never been a useful a poli cy lever over its 15-year life span.He said Ottawa has plenty of other ways to regulate the oil industry if they are needed."We do not need a national oil company to provide that for the go-vernment of Canada,” said McDermid.He said there's not much time to get a first-share offering out before the end of the year.“We will have to see how the legislation goes before 1 can make any statement like that, but I would doubt it.” Finance Minister Michael Wilson first announced the deeison to sell Petro-Canada bit by bit in the Feb.20 budget.It would be the 19th federal Crown corporation put up for aue tion since the government of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was first elected in 1984.The largest privatization so far was the sale of Air Canada in 1988 and 1989, which had been on the government books for $329 million.Petro-Canada, with its Maple Leaf logo, was popular when it was set up.A promise by former prime minister Joe Clark to privatize the company is thought to have contri buted to the defeat of his minority government in the 1980 election.However, public opinion surveys earlier this year indicated the pu blic mood had changed and most Canadians support the sale of Petro-Canada.Once the legisalation is passed, it would up to Calgary based Petro Canada to pick a security dealer to handle the sa Under the legislation, ownership of shares by non-Canadians will be limited to 25 per cent and no individual can own more than 10 per cent of the shares.Filmon: A bleak future if subsidies stay By Lisa Schlein GENEVA (CP) — Manitoba Premier Gary Filmon foresees a bleak future for farmers in Western Canada in general and Manitoba in particular if current negotiations aimed at liberalizing world trade fail to eliminate trade-distorting export subsidies.“Agriculture accounts for one dollar in nine of our gross domestic product,” Filmon said Monday.“Agriculture is the cornerstone of our economic well-being.Success in the Uruguay round and the elimination of export subsidies is absolutely critical to the long-term survival of the farm community.” The four-year long Uruguay round of multilateral trade nego Dations will end after a final ministerial meeting in Brussels early in December.Although negotiations have been going on in a series of 15 complicated trade areas, agriculture has been the most difficult issue to resolve.At the centre of the controversy is the Economic Community which has been accused of heavily subsi dizing its farm production and undercutting competition by dumping low-priced surpluses abroad.CANADA BLAMED However, Canada has been singled out in international studies as one of the countries that most heavily subsidizes its farmers.Late last month, the United States said the European Community was not going far enough in reducing its farm subsidies.The Europeans have offered to make cuts of about 30 per cent while the Americans say they are willing to reduce farm subsidies as much as 70 per cent.“About 80 per cent of our western Canadian crop is exported.The price essentially dictates our farmers’ income,” said Filmon who observed that neither Canada nor Manitoba has the resources to fight a subsidy war with either the EC or the United States.“The long-term outlook is devastating for the farmer despite the fact that he’s more productive and producing a better quality of product than anyone in the world.” Filmon said farmers in Manitoba face an estimated 30 per cent loss in their net income this year although they have just harvested the second-largest crop in the province’s history.He blamed the billion dollar subsidy war for pushing down the price of wheat to $116 a tonne this year from $190 last year.He said a bushel of wheat which sold for $6 a decade ago now is selling for $3.“If you take into account inflation, the farmer is getting a quarter of the price he was getting a decade ago in real dollar terms.” Filmon and a delegation which included Industry Minister James Ernst and Agriculture Minister Glen Findlay met with representatives from the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, trade representatives from New Zealand, the EC, Switzerland, Australia, Argentina, Hong Kong, West Germany and the United States.Although the delegation made a big pitch to EC representative John Beck about the importance of resolving agricultural export sub sidies, Filmon had to admit: “I think it’s fair to say he didn’t give us a great deal of room for optimism.” The next couple of weeks will be critical.Trading countries will be presenting their final position papers on the round’s various trade negotiations.The EC is expected to table its agricultural proposal on Oct.15, just six weeks before the round is due to end “The one optimistic note is that everyone thinks it’s doable,” said Filmon “They recognize that it’s going to be very tough slugging.It all de pends on the will and détermina tion of the major players over the next six weeks.” Besides agriculture, the delegation discussed the textile negotiations which bear on Manitoba’s garment industry.It also exchanged views on other areas of interest.Ernst said there is an important relationship among all these is sues.“It’s key to agriculture.1 think it is of vital interest to our province at the present time that all those other issues get settled because if they don’t then

indicator of future economic activity pointed down for the sixth month in a row.“In the past, six straight declines have always been accompanied by a recession in the economy,” Statistics Canada said today.The composite leading indicator, measuring 10 signs in the economy ranging from furniture sales to stock prices, fell 0.2 per cent in July following declines of 0.3 per cent in June and 0.4 per cent in May.A recession happens when the economy shrinks over a six month period.So far, the economy shrank at an annual rate of 1.6 per cent during the second quarter April, May and June and eked out a small gain in July.Statistics Canada said the rate of decline in the leading indicator cased in June and July due to a firming in manufacturing.But slightly better performance by plants and factories was concentrated in industries threatened by strikes, especially car and steel companies.The slowing economy continued to hit consumers hard.“Household demand continued to contract rapidly, and the further weakening of labor market conditions in August augurs little improvement,’' the federal agency said.SALES DOWN House construction and furniture and appliance sales posted large declines reminiscent of the 1981-82 recession.A sharp deterioration in the Ontario housing industry spread to Quebec and Western Canada in July.The number of new single-family houses being built plunged to an annual rate of 55,000 units by August from a peak of 117,000 units last January.Concerns over the weakening economy and the Persian Gulf crisis also exacted a toll on financial markets

and holler.Some children may even hold their breath until their faces turn blue.But safety expert Barbara Bis-grove warns parents not to give in to the ranting and raving of youngsters in child-restraint seats.Enduring the tantrums is better than seeing those tiny faces smashed against dashboards and lifeless bodies trapped under tires.“If you don’t buckle up your children in the car, you don’t know where they will end up,” said Bis-grove, head of safety policy at the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and a member of a national task force examining ways to increase seat-belt use.“They might still be sitting on the seat or on your lap at the end of the drive, but there’s also the chance they will be underneath the tires or pushed into the dashboard,” she said in an interview.October has been designated seat-belt safety month in Ontario.Police across the province will be stepping up enforcement efforts to remind people to buckle up and put children under 40 pounds in approved car seats.Seat-belt use is mandatory for all passengers across Canada, except in the Yukon, said Bisgrove.In Ontario, drivers who don't wear seat belts or ensure that all children under 16 are properly buckled up are subject to fines of at least $78.75 a person — the highest in Canada.The lowest fines are $25 in Alberta, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.Seat-belt use is an important step toward reducing driving-related deaths and injuries.Yet Ontario has an overall usage rate of only 71 per cent — fourth-lowest in Canada behind Alberta (45 per Sound advice for kids’ seat belts TORONTO (CP) — Seat-belt tips for parents : • If a child frequently undoes car-seat buckles, try rethreading the straps so the buckles face inward.Or buy a seat with an arm rest so the child can’t reach the buckles as easily.• Don’t encourage toddlers to do up their own harnesses.That also encourages them to undo the straps.•Tf a shoulder belt falls across a child’s face or neck, put it behind his or her back, not under an arm.You might want to use a booster seat to raise the child up higher for better positioning of the belt, as well as a better view for the child.• Never buckle up two children in the same belt.• Never use home-made boosters in a car.• Don’t move a child out of a car seat too soon.A lap belt should be used when a child is tall enough that his or her head is no longer protected in the car seat and could jerk back over the seat edge.• When buying a car seat, make sure it will fit in your car, even when you raise the arm rest.Also make sure it is large enough to fit your child in bulky winter clothes.• Do not buy a second-hand car seat if it has been in a collision.Avoid seats made before May 1984.• Read the manufacturer’s di rections instead of relying on friends’ advice when installing a car seat.centi.New Brunswick 164 per cent) and Newfoundland (65 per cent), Bisgrove said.“The people who don’t wear seat belts are either not fully aware of the risks or don’t care about the risks.If you choose not to wear one and you drive, chances are you’ll have 400 or 500 trips and nothing will happen, but the one time an accident does happen you may be out of luck,” said Bisgrove.A major concern is that parents aren't being vigilant enough when it comes to protecting their children, she said.Regulations vary from province to province for the age, height or weight at which children can safely be taken out of child-restraint seats.In 1989, nearly 60 per cent of children under five and more than 70 per cent of children under one year old weren’t properly restrained in vehicles in Ontario, Transport Canada statistics show.Two thirds of babies killed in crashes were sitting on laps.“In a car, a lap is no place for a baby,” said Bisgrove, adding that no one can hold on to a baby in a crash and the weight of a parent flying forward might crush the child.Businessman learns to read after career By Beth Gorham ST.JOHN’S, Nfld.(CP) —Harry Summers is a born businessman with a large car-repair operation Until two years ago, he couldn't read or write.At one time he juggled a fleet of trucks, two service stations and his auto-repair shops by bluffing his way through deals with some quick memory work.He’d get other people to read his letters, sometimes pretending he'd forgotten his eyeglasses, then memorize what they said.Or he’d check into a hotel and take the registration card to his room where his wife would fill it out.Then he decided to go to night school.“I made all my money with no education,” says Summers, 59, who joined a trucking firm when he was 12.“Now I want to know how to spend it.” More people like Summers are taking advantage of basic education classes in Newfoundland, where the illiteracy rate is the highest in the country.A 1987 Southam survey found as many as 44 per cent of adults in the province can’t read, write or handle numbers well enough to meet everyday demands, compared with a national average of 24 per cent.And a Statistics Canada study released this year estimated 55 per cent of Newfoundlanders aged 16 to 69 have trouble with simple numerical problems requiring more than addition and subtraction.That compares with 38 per cent of all Canadians.CITES GEOGRAPHY As well, 60 per cent have varying degrees of difficulty with common reading tasks, compared with a national average of38 per cent.In part, it’s a problem of geography, says Education Minister Philip Warren, who estimates at least 180,000 of more than 500,000 Newfoundlanders don’t have the necessary literacy skills.Communities are spread far and wide and don’t offer the same opportunities to learn, he says.There’s also a high dropout rate — something a royal commission will examine as part of a major review of education in Newfoundland starting this fall.Up to 43 per cent of those older than 15 living in rural areas have less than a Grade 9 education, according to 1986 Census data.‘‘We need more money for community-based groups who are out there working,” says Warren.“And we have to work more with industry and the unions.” Wayne Taylor, the department’s literacy policy adviser, says there’s a growing awareness that literacy levels required for most traditional occupations on the island — including fishing — are increasing all the time.That’s spurring some to stick with school longer or go back as adults.But motivating people to upgrade their skills without making them feel like social misfits is the biggest hurdle, says Earle McCur dy of the Newfoundland Fishermen, Food and Allied Workers union.WANTS COURSES The union, which represents about 20,000 fishermen and processors, is talking with the province about providing some courses on the job.That solution would avoid gover nment departments and institu lions that make some uncomfor table, he says.But McCurdy warns it’s a massive undertaking, consi dering there are at least 500 fishing communites in Newfoundland stretched along 6,000 kilometres of coastline.Some are accessible on ly by boat.Community groups are also coming up with flexible programs for people who aren’t comfortable in a classroom, can’t make it there or are afraid to let others know At Thanksgiving, two turkeys are easier than one By Judy Creighton The Canadian Press There are as many different variations on cooking Thanksgiving turkey as there are cooks who toil preparing the festive meal.“If I had the choice.I’d rather cook two 12-pound turkeys, than one 24-pounder,” says Kay Spicer, a Toronto home economist, cookbook author and food writer for Canadian Living magazine “Two smaller birds are easier to handle and you are less apt to have a dried out turkey with two than a large one.” Spicer, author of the new book From Mom, With Love — Real Home Cooking (published by Doubleday, $29.95), says she orders a fresh turkey well before the holiday for her family's Thanksgiving dinner.“A fresh bird is a little more juicy,” she says, because a frozen turkey can lose moisture in defrosting.Spicer says preparing the bird isn’t such a chore if it’s done before the big day.“The day before, wash and pat dry the turkey, wrap loosely and hold in the refrigerator,” she says.“And it’s OK to prepare the dressing in advance to ease your time the next day.” This a good tip for someone putting the holiday meal together for the first time, says Spicer, whose book is directed at new cooks who want to duplicate their mothers’ culinary techniques.However, she cautions, don’t stuff the turkey until just before roasting because bacteria can develop inside the warm cavity.Following is the recipe for stuffed roast turkey made by Spicer’s mother.It includes her old-fashioned sausage stuffing.Sausage can be omitted, but add 25 mL (2 tbsp.) butter if doing so.Stuffed Roast Turkey 1 turkey (5 to 7 kg or 12 to 16 lb.) 1 batch old-fashioned stuffing Soft butter Rinse turkey and its cavity; pat dry.Loosely stuff neck and body cavity with stuffing.Truss bird.Place breast side up on rack in large shallow roasting pan.(Roasting on a rack prevents bird from cooking in its own fat and juices.) Brush all over with butter.Cover with loose tent of foil, made by criss-crossing two strips of foil over bird.Tuck it in at the ends Roast in 160 C (325 F) oven for three hours.Remove foil; baste with pan juices.Roast for 1 to 1V4 hours longer or until golden brown, drumstick feels loose when wiggled, juices run clear when thigh is pierced and roast meat thermometer registers 85 C (185 F) internal temperature in the thickest part of the thigh and 74 C (165 F) in the stuffing.Let stand on platter 15 minutes before carving.Makes about 14 servings.Old-Fashioned Stuffing 25 mL (2 tbsp.) butter 500 g (1 lb.) sausage meat 1 onion, finely chopped 2 stalks celery, finely chopped 1 clove garlic (optional) 10 mL (2 tsp.) crumbled dried sage 10 mL (2 tsp.) dried summer sa vory 5 mL (1 tsp.) salt 1 mL (V* tsp.) black pepper 2 L (8 cups) day-old bread cubes Honbon Resilience A charming, modern residential center for senior citizens.• Private room and bathroom • Cable • Elevator • Monthly meal schedule • Call bell • 24 hr staff • Nurse on premises • Personal laundry service 301 London Sherbrooke • Ask for our brochure 564-8415 New ElMTREpOSAqE ds I'EstrIe (Storage) Private Units 5' x 5' 10' x 30' New Cars - Motorcycles Boats - Furniture - Etc.All steel, very bright, ventilation Unbeatable prices 2555 Route 251 Lennoxville 567-2548 liflCflTfl Autumn harvest great for cakes they are illiterate, says Pamela Rideout, co ordinator of Teachers on Wheels.The group offers volunteer tutors who teach about 60 clients wherever it’s convenient, often in the home.“Most people come here hiding it from everyone,” says Rideout.“After a couple of months — when their skills improve — their personalities change.They start to tell people.” There was a time when Robert Reid, 63.couldn’t sing in church unless he already knew the hymn by heart.He couldn’t even look up a number in the phone book.“I couldn’t go to school long enough to get any learning,” says Reid, who went to work in his father’s lumber mill in Blaketown, Nfld.when he was still a boy.He worked as a carpenter and handyman most of his life.About four years ago, Reid started night classes and then took lessons at home through Teachers on Wheels after his wife became ill.“I’m telling you it feels real good to read,” he says proudly.“More than once I wished I could have got my education years ago.But age has got nothing to do with it.All you want is the courage and willpower.” CARROT CAKE 1 cup sugar Yi cup corn oil 3 eggs 1 Vi cups flour 2 cups finely grated carrots (4 to 5) Vi teaspoon salt VA teaspoons baking soda VA teaspoons cinnamon Mix oil and sugar.Beat well.Add eggs, one at a time and beat after each.Sift dry ingredients and add to egg mixture.Beat all together until well blended.Fold in raw carrots.Ëake 1 hour at 300°F in greased 9 x 13 pan.ICING FOR CARROT CAKE 8 oz.package Philadelphia cream cheese 4 tablespoons butter 2'A cups icing sugar 2 teaspoons vanilla Soften cheese and butter.Beat well.Add icing sugar and vanilla.Beat again.Spread on cooled cake.(You may make only half recipe, leave in pan and only ice the top if you wash.) * * H- And from my son’s neighbour Kay, this delicious cake (I enjoyed it at her home with a cup of tea).ZUCCHINI CHOCOLATE CAKE */2 cup margarine 'A cup oil VA cups sugar 2 eggs >/2 teaspoon baking powder >/2 teaspoon baking soda 2Vi cups all-purpose flour 4 tablespoons cocoa 1 teaspoon vanilla 'A teaspoon cinnamon 'A teaspoon ground cloves Vi cup sour milk (or 'A cup milk and 1 tablespoon vinegar) Vi teaspoon lemon juice 2 cups grated Zucchini ( squeeze the juice out before measuring) Kay's kitchen korner BY KAY TAYLOR Cream oil, margarine and sugar or beat — add the eggs, beat again.Mix all the ingredients together, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cocoa, cinnamon and cloves.Add sour milk (or soured milk — or cream).Add the zucchini last.Bake in 9 x 13-inch pan for 45 minutes or until done in preheated oven 325°F.Few' grated carrots may be added if wished.(May be served plain, but I enjoyed it with a chocolate icing.)

I was the mother of their grandson, their most treasured gift A few days later Jimmy met his father.He broke down and cried, babbled like an idiot and begged me to forgive him for abandoning me.I have been offered marriage, security and a family.This is what I want more than anything in the world, especially for Jimmy, in case something should happen to me.But I have a lot of resentment about the way I was treated.I never loved anyone but Jimmy's father but I cannot forget how he and his family turned their backs on me when I needed them mosL What do I do now, Ann?- PITTSBURGH DEAR PITTSBURGH: Now you lead with your head instead of your heart, for a change.Sec a lawyer about support for Jimmy, including compensation for his care during the last four years.Next you agree to become reacquainted with the fancy doctor but this doesn't mean picking up where you left off.Treat him like a new friend and let him earn the right to be close to you again.Don't make any big decisions for at least six months.Then write again and let me know how things are going.Dear Ann Landers: It is costing the U.S.government millions of dollars to mint new pennies while billions of pennies are sitting in cookie jars, milk bottles and baby banks.The banks won't cash them in if they aren't wrapped.So, why doesn't the government make a deal with the banks to ac cept the unwrapped pennies and weigh them instead?A bank chart would show how much a certain weight is worth, penny for penny.The government would pay the banks for wrapping and the pennies could go back into circulation.This would really be "Pennies from Heaven” for golden-agcrs who have saved pennies for so many years.-W.H.FROM CLEVELAND DEAR W.H.: I checked with three Chicago banks and learned that they vw7/ take pennies, wrapped or un wrapped.Cleveland banks, however, won't accept unwrapped pennies.They don’t have counting machines.So, bring 'em to Chicago, folks.When planning a wedding, who pays for what?Who stands where?'The Ann Landers Guide for Brides" has all the answers.Send a self-ad dressed, long, business-size envelope and a check or money order for $3.65 (this includes postage and handling) to: Brides, do Ann Lan ders, P.O.Box 11562, Chicago, III.60611-0562.(In Canada, send $4.45.)

Scotstown on June 29, 1896.Her parents William F.Bowman and Mary Mac-master were early immigrant settlers from Glasgow, Scotland.Margaret was their youngest child and the last surviving member of the family.From her mother she inherited considerable musical talent.She began to play the organ in church at the age of 14, and continued through her active adult life.Even when she was in her mid 80’s she enjoyed playing hymns.She is also remembered in the community as a superb accompanist, especially for her husband, Angus Mackenzie, whom she married in 1928.Like her parents, she had a pioneering spirit.She was the first woman to drive a car in Scotstown ; she and her brother were the first in the area to use milk tickets in their dairy business; and she used phonetics in the teaching of reading long before it became popular.Her teaching career began at the onset of World War I.At first she taught with no training in rural one-room schools, driving a horse and buggy, and delivering mail and milk on her way.Then she attended summer training sessions at the Lachute Academy, and taught the primary grades in Scotstown until 1927.Many adults remember her as their beloved first teacher.She loved little children and delighted being kind to them in school, in Sunday School, and in personal contacts.A committed Christian with strong convictions, she was active in Sunday School and church women’s groups.She used to sell her homemade doughnuts to earn money to donate to missions and to organizations that help handicapped people.After the mill closed in Scotstown, she and her husband moved in 1960 to Gagnon, Quebec, where they worked for Quebec Cartier Mining Company until their retirement in 1969.Following her husband’s death in 1971 she lived with her niece, Mrs.Beth Stokes Reed at the post office in Bury until 1976.Then for five years she lived with her children until she entered Brantwood Manor in Burlington, Ontarion in 1981.She died there peacefully on September 6.Family and friends gathered in loving memory of her on September 8 at the Cass Funeral Home in Bury.Rev.David Honsberger conducted the funeral service.Her daughter Lois played some of her mother’s favorite hymns and spoke in tribute to her.The bearers were members of her family: her son, son-in-law and four of her grandsons.Interment was in Riverview Cemetery, Scotstown.The ladies of St.Andrew’s United Church served delicious refreshments in the church hall to those who went to the cemetery.Those of her family who were present for the funeral wère her son Alan Mackenzie and his

spoiler against Galt last week, but Galt’s Alexandra Bean decided to return the favor Monday.Bean, a Galt forward, scored two of the three Pipers’ goals in Monday’s 3-0 shutout win over Richmond in senior girls' soccer action.In the previous encounter between the two Eastern Townships Interscholastic Athletic Conference members last Tuesday, Bernard held Galt to one goal and a 1-1 tie.The tough Richmond goalie had problems six days later against the same opponents.After Lori Gear scored the game-winner 10 minutes into the game with a blast between Bernard and the left goal post.Richmond couldn’t adjust to the powerful Galt attack.The Pipers kept Richmond from getting the ball out of their own end during the first 40-minute half — Richmond had only two shots on the Galt net.The Pipers had several chances to put the game away early in the half.Gear lofted three comer kicks to the Richmond crease, but her teammates stood in front of the net like trees waiting to release their autumn leaves.In the second half, Richmond started to turn things around, pushing the ball into the Galt end of the field.OAKLEY TRIES Richmond’s Lisa Oakley was kept busy for a while kicking corner kicks.Early in the second half, Oakley kicked three consecutive corners.All three kicks floated through the Galt net area but no one sporting a Richmond sweater deflected the ball into the net.Bean shut the door on Richmond midway through the half when she picked off the top left corner.Eight minutes later, Bean sealed the victory on a breakaway, slipping the ball past Bernard and scoring her second of the afternoon.Galt’s defence, composed of Annie Signe, Julie Lowry and Alison Reed, played a perfect game, preventing any possible Richmond attack until midway through the second half.Richmond posted brief signs of a comeback.Forward Vicky Hill darted up the rightside of the field crossing the ball over the Galt defence and past netminder Sara Wark.The ball rolled along the goal line before an alert Galt midfielder responded to the possible shutout spoiler.Christina Simo booted the ball out of the net and cleared it out of bounds.Galt was looking for another goal during the dying minutes but Richmond defender Kendra Brock put an end to it.Brock took control of the Richmond backfield stopping any Galt forward.LACK OF TEAM SPIRIT Richmond head coach Ann Nixon said her team didn’t come together on the field.“We didn’t play well at all,” she said.“We lacked practice and team togetherness.” Nixon made some changes to her lineup from last week’s game against Galt.“I have 20 players and rotate only 16 of them,” she explained.“The team is a combination of junior and senior players,” she said.“It gives the juniors experience for next year.” Richmond doesn’t field a junior team and amalgamated both junior and senior-aged girls into one team this season.Pipers’ head coach Malcolm Learned said he noticed an incredible difference between last week’s and Monday’s performances.“We put the ball in the net,” he said with a smile.“I think we’re playing better right now.” Learned credits the team’s success to Friday’s exhibition game against Co-lebrook.New Hampshire.“Colebrook helped us,” he said “We had control and started pushing the ball and helping out.” Richmond travels to Stanstead Wednesday for their next ETIAC game, while Galt entertains BCS Wednesday at 1:30 p.m.as part of their activity day.Galt (2) 3 Richmond 1 In bantam boys’ soccer action, Galt (2) defeated Richmond 3-1 Monday afternoon in Richmond.Jonathan McKereher led the Piper attack, scoring two goals, while Robert Frappied added the other Galt marker.Kevin Whittingstall scored the lone Richmond goal.Galt’s next regular-season game is Wednesday, October 10 at Stanstead, while BCS travels to Richmond on the same day.HIGH SCHOOL SCOREBOARD Thursday, September 27 Junior Girls’ Soccer Massey Vanier 3 Galt 1 Friday, September 28 Junior Girls’ Soccer Salésien 4 Galt 1

it does not retard the development of arteriosclerosis.A few months ago, scientists at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas reported a very preliminary study showing that human white blood cells (in a test tube) were less likely to absorb low-density lipoproteins (the "bad" cholesterol) when (he corpuscles were pre-treated with vitamin C and E.Since LDL is poisonous to cells and may attack the tissue lining blood vessels — creating plaque (arteriosclerotic blockage) — the researchers reported their findings in hopes that other scientists would confirm and expand these results.As yet, the vitamin/LDL relation is unsubstantiated.A great deal more testing will be required before recommendations are promulgated for the general public.As you pointed out, vitamin C has been “touted'' for various ailments.However, it is appropriate therapy for only one medical condition: scurvy, vitamin C deficiency.Vitamin E deficiency causes no recognized illness in healthy adults.Any other potential benefits of vitamins C and E would have to be rigorously and scientifically tested.The Texas study suggests a clue — but only a clue.To give you more information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report “Fads I — Vitamins and Minerals.’- Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 with their names and addresses to my attention at P.O.Box 91369.Cleveland.OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: Can you comment on the external application of WrD40 for joint pain?Quite a few peo- ple in my community of North Bend, Ore., have found thaühis lubricant alleviates the pain of arthritis.DEAR READER I have previously heard that some people swear by the beneficial effects of the spray-on lubricant WD40 for arthritis.Since the product consists primarily of light oil, I can't for the life of me imagine how it could relieve the pain of arthritis.The oil, which doesn't penetrate the skin, couldn't exert an internal effect.The idea of a petroleum-based substance that “lubricates’’ joints is ludicrous However, if it works for some folks, fine.I’m always open to alternative healing methods, if they’re safe.WD40 is harmless when applied externally DEAR DR GOTT: I'm currently on Lopid for a high cholesterol problem.I’ve read that the medication can have risks and side effects, but I don’t know what they are.Can you enlighten me0 DEAR READER.Lopid (gemfibrozil) is a drug that lowers blood fats by increasing the speed by which the liver excretes them.Lopid is particularly effective in reducing triglycerides, a blood fat that is believed to be less important than cholesterol in causing arteriosclerotic blockage.Patients taking Lopid will usually exhibit lower cholesterol levels, too, but there are more effective drugs, such as Questran and Mevacor, for this purpose.Lopid should not be given to patients with liver disease or gallbladder problems.The drug’s major side effects are abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and gas.Occasionally, patients may experience rash, headache.dizziness, muscle pain, anemia and insomnia.© 1990 NKWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN DR.GOTT PETER GOTT, M.D.a world that’s short on investment guarantees, Scotial gives jou two.GUARANTEED % PER ANNUM ON ONE-YEAR NON-REDEEMABLE SCOTIA GICs* In these uncertain times, you want to keep your money somewhere safe.But you also want to give it room to grow.That’s what Scotia GICs are all alxnit.Non-redeemable Scotia ( lICs pay a higher interest rate because they can’t be cashed tiefore maturity.Redeemable Scotia GICs can lie withdrawn at anytime, although early withdrawal will affect interest rates.GUARANTEED 1% PER ANN!
