But she said it’s not yet clear whether the other 11 commissio ners on the $27.4-million Citizens' Forum on Canada's F’uture will agree to release their daily billings.Commissioners can charge up to $600 a day plus expenses for their work on the forum, created Nov.1.It must report by July 1.Spicer told the consumer and corporate affairs committee two weeks ago he would ask his colleagues on the forum to follow his example.One commissioner.Elsie W'ayne.said Spicer has not yet contacted her.although she doesn't object to releasing the information."Doit any way they want, whate- ver is the proper way." said Wayne, the mayor of St John.N.B “Whatever is going to put the thing to bed so we can complete our work.” Spicer told the committee he had no right to release the other mem-bers' billings without their consent."He's done everything else unilaterally.-' Wayne said Tuesday w ith a hearty laugh.SURPRISE REPORT She complained that she had not seen an interim report before it was released unexpectedly the evening before Spicer testified be- fore the committee.Spending by commissioners became an issue last month after one commissioner.Robert Normand, publisher of the Quebec City newspaper Le Soleil charged that some of his colleagues were billing for too many days Normand says he is not yet ready to release ins billings because he wants to show solidarity with other commissioners.Another commissioner.Roger Tasse, a former constitutional adviser to Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.refused to comment on the issue for the same reason.David Brondbent.the forum's executive director, suggested the 11 commissioners release their billings when the controversy first erupted.They refused even though the information will eventually become public as part of the government's routine process of financial reporting Spicer is on a leave of absence from his job as head of the Canadian Radio television and Telecommunications Commission, the federal broadcast regulator He continues to receive his salary which w as in the range of $111.000 to $125,000 in March 1989.Dufour: 65 per cent Blowing the whistle needed in referendum MONTREAL (CP) — One of the pro-Canada members of the province’s constitutional commission said Tuesday that if Quebec wants to become sovereign after a referendum, close to two-thirds of voters should approve such a move.A simple majority vote of 50 per cent plus one will not be enough to declare Quebec a sovereign country and put an end to the province's endless constitutional wrangling, largest employers group said.Dufour, president of the Conseil du Patronat du Québec and a mem ber of the Bélanger Campeau Commission, said more than65 per cent of Quebecers will have to opt for sovereignty in a referendum in order for the results to be binding.“If you do not have this majority you will have trouble.’’ he warned.“In two years or five years you'll start the debate all over again.” If only 52 per cent of Quebecers vote for sovereignty, he said, the other 48 per cent will keep fighting to rejoin Canada.Dufour pointed out that Quebec's last referendum on sovereignty association in 198(1.in which Quebecers voted 60 10 per cent to stay in Canada, failed to resolve the issue.Once the referendum ended, nationalists refused to accept the re suits as conclusive and just kept fighting, he said.Parizeau: Ghislain Dutour.head of Quebec's A referendum on sovereignty is not like a union contract or an election where a simply majority vote is sufficient, he said.You can easily change the results in a couple of years.Bui once Quebec votes for sovereignty it will be difficult if not impossible to reverse the change, he said.A vote of only 51 per cent would be unconvincing and leave Quebec in a weak position to negotiate sovereignty association with the rest of Canada, he added.If Quebec nationalists are right when they say 65-70 per cent of Quebecers support sovereignty then they should have no objection to the higher level, he added mis cheviously.Dutour said the government should include the 65 per cent target when it introduces legislation to hold a referendum in 1992.Quebec will respect U.S.-Canada deals By Calvin Woodward WASHINGTON (CP) — A sovereign Quebec would be a willing partner in Canada-U S.free trade and all other treaties between the two countries.Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau said Tuesday."Quebec has no hard bargaining to do” in seeking changes in the free-trade agreement.Parizeau told U.S economists in a speech encouraging them to regard sovereignty as probable, unthreatening and uncomplicated.Even the balance sheet of separation — figuring out what Quebec would owe as its share of federal debt charges and what it should get as its share of federal assets — can be done without endless wrangling, he told the National Economists Club.“We can travel three-quarters of the way simply with accountants But he said Ottawa has not shown any inclination to work this out.“I’m perfectly willing to let emotions run their course,” said Parizeau, who joked of his surprise at learning “Anglo-Saxons can have emotions" As far as Quebec is concerned: “If you don’t want to talk with me about debts and assets.I can t send you a cheque.” With a hand often tucked in the vest pocket of his three-piece, pinstriped suit, the opposition leader spoke in crisp, deliberate tones with occasional flashes of humor as he sought to assure his audience an independent Quebec would not only be economically strong hut easy to do business with.FOCUS ON U.S.A.If it becomes a new country — still using Canadian currency — Quebec’s foreign affairs “will essentially be dominated by two countries — Franceand the United States,” he said And Quebec would follow the dictates of existing bilateral arrangements such as the North American defence treaty and management of the St.Lawrence Seaway.“What will happen with respect to these treaties?I suspect nothing.“We don't want to put all of this in jeopardy.” After his speech.Parizeau said he is confident on the basis of “a lot of talks" with U.S.interests that Washington would be open to including Quebec in matters now dealt with bilaterally with Canada.“The alternative would be far too messy,” he said.Edward Cowan, president of the economists' group, said Parizeau is “probably right that the United States would not declare Quebec outside the (trade agreement)." Quebec's entry as a country would pose problems for the dispute-settlement process, including the binational panels that rule on trade complaints but “that's a secondary matter.” Cowan said.Parizeau said Quebec would want to be represented on the panels.SEES BREAK AHEAD Speaking days after the release of the Belanger-Campeau commission report calling for a referen dum on sovereignty next year.Parizeau said Quebec has never been closer to severing its ties as a province.Even as Liberal Premier Robert Bourassa offers “one last chance” by inviting Canada to deliver an acceptable constitutional proposal.“everyone should agree now — the probability of sovereignty coming is very high.'' A study prepared for the Bélanger-Campeau commission as it examined Quebec's future sugges ted as a sovereign state.Quebec would assume 18.5 per cent of the Canadian federal debt and 25 per cent of the deficit.Parizeau agreed “we have a mo ral obligation” to pay a share.But he said most studies have shown Quebec's payments to Ottawa these days just about cancel out the money coming from Ottawa, meaning Quebec would start out as a new country in roughly the same budgetary shape.¦ I ¦ .—.— -.-.J.,,¦ Ex-cop Pat Burns blew the whistle on the Montreal Canadiens yesterday as the Habs finished off two days of practice at Bromont's Sports Centre.Coach Burns’ philosophy was that the guys would bond better as a team if they spent time away from the eity.The Canadiens begin the Adams Division semi-final against the Buffalo Sabres tonight in Montreal.Ear the full story, turn to page II.RKCORD RICHARD LABEL Green Plan: Good for the environment or PCs?By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA(CP) — Thefederal government’s $3-billion green plan will likely be used as a war chest for the Progressive Conservative government's next election cam paign.says a study published by the C D.Howe Institute on Tuesday.The green plan, a basis for future environmental programs released in December after long debate, gets a decidedly mixed review from the Toronto-based think-tank Many business groups privately believe the green plan is far loo expensive given the state of the economy, says the study.The business community so far has kept its criticism to a bare minimum hut will likely goon the offensive during the plan's implementation phase and the money allocated to the plan w ill shrink, the study predicts.“There is bound to be some at ttrition in (he total resource commitment,’’ says the analysis by Bruce Doern.(he institute's scholar in residence.The green plan sets out the broad outlines for environmental programs over the next six years.It includes a commitment to review 44 potentially toxic substances and regulate them if they arc deemed poisonous.This commitment “will produce private sector costs that will dwarf the $3-billi»n of public spending” Without any guarantee of improved environmental results, says the study.FAILS TO EXAMINE Doern says the plan's most serious flaw is its failure to seriously examine market-based devices such as environmental (axes and tradeable pollution permits as an alternative to regulations.Pollution permits allow firms to emit a given quantity of a noxious substance.These can he traded witti other polluters.Budget pressures created by the deficit, the Gulf war, support for farmers and other factors will “gravitate to the green money pool." d ra in i ng t he g reçu plans re sources.However, the study says one big counter pressure is likely to pre serve most of the fund bankrol ling a host ol election goodies in advance of the next federal vote.In the runup to a 1992 election, the green fund is likely to be used as a war chest for the Progressive Conservative government’s campaign plan.“While this will not preclude some good and sensible environmental initiatives, some pork-barrel spending is inevitable." This is particularly so because only 4(1 per cent of the green plan money is in the hands of the Environment Department.Other departments will likely find "ingenious ways to put the money to other uses." Despite such concerns, Doern adds, the plan deserves support for committing the government to change its decision making process.increase consultation in standards setting and strengthen environmental science.Environmental lobbyists may be making a tactical mistake by being so critical of the plan.Doern adds.“If the environmental lobby is unrealistically critical of the green plan, it will weaken its only beachhead within the confines of the federal government and burcacu-racy." |ApriK^199lj Births, deaths 10 Classified H Comies 9 Editorial 4 Karin & Business 5 l.ixino 6 Sports II Townships 3 | 1 Vander Zalm resigns By Gerard Young VICTORIA (CP) — Premier Bill Vander Zalm.confronted with a scathing official report that he mixed private business w ith public office in the sale of his Fantasy Gardens theme park, resigned Tuesday.Several hours later, Rita Johnston was sworn in as British Columbia's 29th premier and the first female premier of a Canadian province.Johnston, who was deputy premier as well as minister of transportation and was considered a Vander Zalm loyalist, recently indicated she had no intention of seeking the leadership of the Social Credit party.Vander Zalm said Tuesday afternoon he would step down immediately, rather than wait for a successor to be chosen.B.C.conflict-of-interest commissioner Ted Hughes said in his report released Tuesday that the premier clearly violated his own conflict guidelines.“From the very beginning of the negotiations through to date of closing, the premier mixed his public role as chief citizen of this province entrusted with the leadership of the government of British Colum bia with his private business interest.” the report said.“1 am prepared to resign now to ensure an orderly transition as quickly as possible,” Vander Zalm said in a brief statement to reporters.He refused to answer questions.A provincial election must be held this year PLAN UPSET Vander Zalm had said on Good Friday that he planned to call a lea dership convention and resign after a successor was chosen But Hughes reported Tuesday that the premier clearly breached conflict guidelines in the $16-million sale of Fantasy Gardens to Taiwanese billionaire Tan Yu.“The findings are not what I expected," Vander Zalm said, his voice gravelly from a cold.“In politics there is no court of appeal in these matters.1 must live by the guidelines which 1 initiated.” His decision came amid growing unrest in the Social Credit caucus ; several cabinet ministers had said Vander Zalm should step down immediately.Hughes found Vander Zalm had a dominant role in the sale of his garden and biblical theme park in suburban Vancouver.‘‘The premier stated that charges of conflict arose only when the media became aware and publicized what was going on,” the report said.“With due respect to the premier it was what went on that was wrong, not the media's discovering and publicizing those events." NIUE TAN The commissioner documented special treatment that Vander Zalm.as premier, gave Tan He helped the Taiwanese magnate set up a B.C.trust company, and arranged meetings with government officials and a luncheon with the lieutenant-governor.“By providing the red carpet treatment to Tan Yu who was also proposing to purchase the premier’s property, the premier may appear to have been creating in Tan Yu theexpectationthat the red carpet treatment would only continue if Tan Yu purchased the premier's property." S o c r e d godmother Grace McCarthy — seen as a likely successor to Vander Zalm — said British Columbians will have a new view of politicians in light of whal has happened, “1 think it's sad for our pro vince." said McCarthy, who quit cabinet in 1988 over differences with Vander Zalm “We are looked on by not just our own people in the province but across this nation and I've never seen anything quite like this before." ti! 1 2—The RECORD—Wednesday.April l.D*»l The Townships Ifecoril Montjoye creditors soon saved Bishop’s meets the Crown by fairy godmother in trust?to bury hatchet on students SHERBROOKE (DH) - The Crown-appointed admistrator of the Montjoye ski centre says its creditors have been given a money-saving offer.Roland Chrétien, of the Montreal accounting firm Raymond.Chabot.Fafard, Gagnon Inc., says the deal will "essentially" pay creditors “a hundred cents on the dollar".Last May Montjoye was seized as part of an international investigation into money laundering and drug trafficking.For the first time in Canada the Crown used a law which allows it to seize assests allegedly bought with money raised through crime.To come up with $2.2 million re- ouired to pav creditors, the ski centre and all its assests will be sold.Chrétien said in a telephone interview Tuesday.A call for tenders will likely be published this Saturday.The Crown required approval for the sale from ForvestTrust, which Montjoye owes $7.6 million, he said.The money raised will first pay all the ski centre's other creditors, with any remaining money going to the Forvest debt The Hatley Township ski hill is evaluated at $4.6 million.FORGET IT?Forvest Trust will likely fall well short of recovering its money.The company is saying "forget about my $7 million.It’s OK to proceed (with the sale».” Chrétien said.vv hy would Forvest Trust agree to give up its claim on so much money?"I could imagine all kinds of reasons but it would all be speculation." Chrétien said.Creditors will be asked to vote on the proposal at a meeting at Sherbrooke courthouse on April 24.Any ofler to buy the ski centre must be satisfy a Superior Court judge "that this is the best offer,” Chrétien said The deadline for paying creditors is Sept.30.If no deal is made creditors will then be asked what they want to do w ith the relatively small resort.Five inspectors appointed to protect the interests of creditors "fundamentally approve" of the proposed deal.Chrétien said.SHERBROOKE !) other acts.“Our primary function is keep out truly obscene material and hate propaganda .not literature." says department spokesman Diana Adams.American Psycho was cleared after the department conducted a two-week review of the controversial no- vel about a serial killer.But other publications, films and videotapes had more trouble.The list of items seized at the border includes a film on masturbation destined for the University of Alberta medical school.Last year, during Freedom to Kead Week, customs detained The Voiinf,’ In One Another's Arms by acclaimed Canadian novelist Jane Rule.The book had been available in Canada for 13 years.Customs officers also stopped Salman Rushdie's work The Satanic Verses to review it as possible hate-literature.The book didn't fit the criteria and was released two days later.But groups such as gay-rights organizations and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association argue (he power to detain or ban books shouldn't be in the hands of public servants.The Canadian Library Association maintains individuals can make their own choices on reading or viewing material.NEED WARRANT Canadian police must have a warrant to seize suspected obscene or hate material.They then decide if charges should be laid under the Criminal Code.Customs is granted wider powers by Parliament and its 5.000 officers don’t need a warrant.Up to 4,500 publications and videotapes.mainly pornographic magazines.are reviewed at customs headquarters in Ottawa each year.Thou sands more are refused entry into Canada at the border.Customs officers receive a half-day of training in how to interpret the department's eight-page guideline on what constitutes obscene or hate material.If they are unsure, they can refer suspect material to specialty units within the department.Advice is also obtained from Justice Department lawyers.Sometimes, the final decision is made by the deputy minister in charge of customs.Guidelines on what is prohibited are based on the Criminal Code and the Customs Act.Decisions can tie appealed to the courts, says Adams.Margaret Gillis.manager of the prohibited importations unit at Canada Customs in Ottawa, has said the guidelines are enforced with as much uniformity as possible.But some decisions “might be a gut reaction of the customs inspector You can't stop on the line and read a book, so you just pick them up and send them to someone who has the time." Jeff Moore, chairman of the Canadian Committee against Customs Censorship, says seizures which can detain books for months should be based on more than a gut reaction.The University of Alberta got its masturbation film back in 1983 after a county court judge ruled it was made tor “commendable moral and educational purposes and was not pornographic.Japanese firms try to improve environmental image, but.By Tetsuo Jimbo TOKYO iAC> — Japanese companies have despoiled their beautiful islands for decades, gobbling up whole mountains to make grave) for concrete, poisoning the waters, not bothering to recycle.Now many are trying to clean up their act with image-building environmental programs, but critics doubt a new era of corporate responsibility bus dawned.“Steps taken recently by Japanese companies are no more than public relations measures." said Koichi Ya-nagida.director of the Defence of Green Earth Fund.T don’t think companies are willing to make genuine sacrifices to assume greater social responsibility." Even business leaders who have campaigned for environmentalism see little chance of great changes in the boardrooms.NOT ON AGENDA "Japanese corporate managers are still so heavily preoccupied with the same old pursuit of efficiency and profits that there is no room for them tù worry about social responsibili lies said Kyuzaburo Kaku, chair man of Canon Inc As Japanese firms expanded over- seas.so has the criticism.For example.Kawasaki Steel Co.came under fire last year because its Indonesian subsidiary was dumping toxic substances into the ocean.In November, natives of Sarawak state in Malaysia came to Japan to demand reductions in logging, which they said was ruining their rain forest.Japanese trading companies buy half of Sarawak's annual output ot more than 15 million cubic metres of logs.“I don't think the criticism directed at us is sensible or well-grounded,” said Kyosuke Mori, director of environmental affairs at Mitsubishi Corp.one of Japan’s largest timber importers.Still, major Japanese trading houses recently decided to reduce timber imports from Malaysia by 10-15 per cent.NOT ENOUGH Mitsubishi also plans an experimental reforestation project in Malaysia.but Mori acknowledged it probably would not reverse the rapid deterioration of the rain forests.Business managers, analysts and environmentalists say reluctance to take bolder steps is largely caused by the structure of corporate Japan.One of its most prominent features is the “keiretsu" system, in which companies form strong bonds by holding each other's shares.Companies within each grouping receive preferential treatment from one another.Japan’s largest keiretsu group is Mitsubishi, with several dozen affiliated companies.Analysts say Mitsubishi Corp.the main trading unit, cannot halt timber imports because it will hurt other companies in the kei retsu.“The group has a paper company, a shipping company, a logging compa ny and other companies that would be affected.” said Hiroyuki Yanai, an analyst for I.R.Japan, which advises firms on stockholder relations.DEAF TO CRITICS Yanai said Japanese corporations are geared solely to maximizing efficiency and improving quality.While tighter government regulations for ced many companies to clean up during the 1970s.complaints from local residents and citizens' groups about pollution often have no place in the corporate equation "As a result.Japanese corporate managers cannot justify sacrifices arising from taking greater social responsibility.” Yanai said.He is among analysts who doubt Ju panese companies will become more socially responsible.But Masao Hori-ba.whose company makes machines to measure car emissions, believes increasing criticism will make it happen.“I think the global importance of environmental issues will eventually force Japanese corporate culture to change." Horiba said.SOME ACT NOW Some Japanese companies are creating departments that specialize in environmental matters Suntory, a major brewer, is raising money to help protect endangered bird species.Fujita Travel is halting the use of pesticides at a golf course near Tokyo.Other companies plan to eliminate the output ot fluorocarbons, which add to global warming by damaging the Earth’s ozone layer, and to step up recycling programs.Environmental activists say the actions are too little and too slow."Japanese companies need to realize that there will be no business for them once they destroy the Earth completely," said Yamigida, of the Green Earth Fund “I sometimes wonder it they will literally destroy this planet or wake up before it's too late." i I The KKI OKU—Wednesday.April 3.1»»1—5 Education i____g«i tsecara Abuse of teachers Randy Sasso.a high school teacher in Windsor.Ont., suitered a by students rising Jazz: Contrevent appears at Centennial By Marlene Habib The Canadian Press "There is a sense of helplessness invading our schools." says an Ontario teacher who w as viciously assaulted by a student "Something has to be done." It's a desperate plea from one of the hundreds of elementary and high school teachers across Canada who have suffered physical, verbal and emotional abuse at the hands of pupils.Teacher abuse is growing, and educators blame an increase in violence in society and the entertainment world, high unemployment and family stress.A study by an Ontario teachers' organization said the number of "minor" assaults — including punching.scratching, biting, pushing and serious verbal abuse— increased by 85 per cent in one year.The assaults — in elementary and high schools represented by the Ontario English Catholic Teachers Association — jumped to 515 in 1989-1990 from 278 in '88-'89.MANITOBA REPORT A report in May 1990 by the Manitoba Teachers’ Society indicated about 40 per cent of teachers in the province had been physically or emotionally abused by students.The abuse ranged from hitting, kicking, slapping and having things thrown at them, to insults, obscene gestures and harassing phone calls.Some assaults are startlingly violent.SHERBROOKE i RL) - Today’s more sophisticated cars require better qualified mechanics, says CAA Quebec.To focus attention on that need, the drivers' protection agency has launched the “Grand Slam ", which pits graduating mechanics from high schools across the province serious groin injury when he was beaten by a 15-year-old student."The boy just exploded." said Sasso.who later transferred to another school "He punched me in the face and head as if I were a punching bag.Then he grabbed me by my hair and groin and he pulled me to the ground.It took four male teachers to pull him off me.” DISTURBING LIST Other incidents, cited in the study by the Ontario Catholic teachers association, include: • A Grade ti boy attacked a female teacher.It took five staffers, a police officer and three ambulance attendants to yank him off.• An out-oi-eontrol student punched a teacher in the breast and threatened to kill her.• A teacher was bitten and required hospital treatment after trying to intervene in a fight between tw’o students.— A student with a knife threatened a teacher.No charges were laid.“The increase in violence in general is spilling over into the schools." says Patrick O’Neill, a researcher with the Catholic teachers association and author of the report.“The widespread use of home VCRs is enabling kids to view violent shows that they wouldn't be able to see in a theatre." O'Neill said in an interview.against one another in an ' automotive trouble-shooting contest.“ The Grand Slam has three main goals, according to the CAA.• To highlight the importance of adequate training and upgrading of technical skills; • To enhance the profession in the eyes of the public; "The current economic climate is also having an effect.There's a good deal of frustration and anger coming from unemployed parents, and that s having a dramatic effect on students who bring those problems to school." TEACHERS LIMITED Because teachers face possible assault charges or dismissal if they fight back, "they are very concerned about what is going on.and asking us where is this going to take us and what they should be doing." says O'Neill "Some teachers have been pushed to the limit and have actually roughed up kids.In most cases, assault charges haven't been laid, but there are cases w here teachers have been dismissed." In Prince Edward Island, the Charlottetown-based teachers federation formed several committees in 1989 to study teacher abuse after a marked increase in the number of assaults by students.The committees are still working on their report.The survey in Manitoba recommended that school boards and teacher associations work on programs that may prevent incidents of abuse.It also encouraged boards to develop policies on abuse and discipline, and ensure teachers are aware of the policies.NO HARD FACTS Teacher groups in Quebec and British Columbia say they have no formal figures indicating an increase in violence towards teachers.but are aware of some pro- • And to encourage high school students to pursue careers as car mechanics.The Grand Slam is open to students in the final year of the automotive DEP (Diplôme d'Études Hrotessionclles) program.Twenty-eight of a possible 45 schools in 11 ot Quebec’s Hi administrative bleins "I think the general North American trend is toward a good deal more violence, but we haven't noticed it here." says Alan Lombard.executive director of the Provincial Association ot Protestant Teachers in Montreal.But Michael Palumbo, president of the Provincial Association of Catholic Teachers in Montreal, says: "The aggressive attitude of some students, ot gangs and young people who are not students who enter school premises.makes the situation of those teachers difficult " O'Neill says the task of curbing teacher abuse doesn't just lie with the education systems."It also means taking a serious look at the increase in violence at large in society, and looking at ways to reduce it.What’s also nee ded is more discussions among teachers about how to foresee pro blems occurring and ways to stop an assault before it happens." Helping students with their problems is another key.adds Jim Blanchard, general secretary of the P.E.I.teachers federation."School programs should be teaching young people how to resolve conflicts — to control themselves and respond to problems without becoming violent and emotional." he says.“And when it comes to discipline.students should be part of the process of deciding what should be reasonable punishment.’' regions have registered.E.T.REPS Taking part for the Eastern Townships will be students from Polyvalente ,1.11 Leclerc in Granby.Polyvalente La Huche in Magog.Kcole des Metiers Thetford in Thetlord Mines and Ecole La Frontalière in Coaticook.Students must take a written exam worth 25 per cent of the overall score.School marks count for another 25 per cent, and speed and workmanship will determine the final 50 per cent in the practical part of the contest.That part will be held at Montreal's Expo Tech Centre as teams of students diagnose and repair de liberately “bugged" cars.The final.which will pit the best 11 schools against each other, will be held May 18.• Tuesday.19 March.— Tuesday.12 April.Bishop's/Uhamplain Art Gallery.Marjorie Donald House.Kay Kinsman presents her watercolour exhibition "Life on Campus " Revealed is her remar ka ble talent to be able to capture the likeness and personality of her subjects on the University's campus Gallery hours are; 11 a m - 3 p m.and Thursday evenings 7 p.m.— 9 p.m.• Wednesday.3 April.7 and 9 p.m.Centennial Theatre.Godfather 3.Directed by Coppola ; starring A.Pacino.Diane Keaton A movie legacy like no other.Don Michael Corleone gets robbed.Then he gets even • Thursday, 4 April.7:30 p.m.John H.Price Sports Centre.Awards Night at Bishop’s University.• Thursday, 4 April.7:30 p.m., MacKinnon Room.Joanne Norman will deliver a lecture entitled: "Text and Image in Medieval Preaching’’.Please feel free to attend.• Thursday, 4 April, 8:30 p.m.Centennial Theatre.The Quebec Jazz quintet Contrevent.Since their release of two albums, these five musicians have played in major festivals including the Montreal Jazz Festival.Tickets available at Centennial Theatre Box Office 822-9692.• Saturday.6 April, 2 p.m.Centennial Theatre.Mary Poppins.Live action and animation, 139 minutes.This truimphant musical fantasy about a very special nanny features unforgettable songs, exuberant dances, and a dazzling combination of live action and animated visual effects.Disney’s triumphant musical masterpiece makes you wish the fun would never end! • Sunday.7 April.3 p.m.Centennial Theatre.The season closes with a celebration of spring by the University Singers.Chamber Choir and student soloists.• Tuesday.9 April, 8 p.m.Salle Maurice O’Bready.University of Sherbrooke.L’Esquisse (Dance).A modern dance routine from France.• Wednesday.10 April, — Saturday.13 April.8 p.m.Centennial Theatre.A Champlain production will be presented by the students.Please be sure to not miss this special feature.• Thursday.11 April.7 and 9:30 p.m., Centennial Theatre.Bonfire of the Vanities, (film ( Satiric comedy by Brian de Palma with Melanie Griffith and Bruce Willis.A philandering Park Avenue bond salesman meets his downfall when a mishap during an unplanned detour through the South Bronx leads to eitywide racial turmoil.From the novel by Tom Wolfe.• Saturday.13 April, 2 p.m., Centennial Theatre.Peter Pan.animation.77 minutes.Walt Disney’s animated version of James Barrie's classic story is a favourite with audiences of all ages.This timeless tale of Peter Pan, the irrespressible boy who refuses to grow up.has pirates.Indians.a crocodile and everyone’s favourite pixie.Tinker Bell.It is a jubilant celebration of childhood.fun and adventure.• Sunday.14 April.8 p.m.Studio Theatre.A music recital will be performed All are invited to attend.years of conservation Ducks Unlimited Canada WE CONSERVE WETLANDS.We've been doing it since 1938.Today we employ more than 400 professionals and support staff in 44 offices across Canada.We keep an eye on wetlands — and we're good at it.During 1988, we're celebrating our golden anniversary.How?By building wetland conservation projects.And when we finish those, we'll work on more, because helping out Canada's waterfowl and wildlife is the best way we know to celebrate the beginning of our next fifty years.We don't think of ourselves as saviours of the natural world.We're hard-working, down-to-earth, nuts-and-bolts conservationists who do what we know best.conserve wetlands.THE DUCKS AND GEESE DO THE REST.March is Kidney Month in Canada.When a canvasser calls at your door, please give generously xtr The Kidney Foundation Of canada We can’t live without you CALI TELETHON: (514128im Don’t Miz Out!

her home-made bread, rolls and doughnuts.Though never a robust person, she kept her fingers busy with crocheting, tatting, knitting, sewing and filet-lace making, until arthritis limited her ability

Sports The |{K< OKI)—Wednesday.April 3, 1991—H —_____tty-i ttscam Galt, Massey-Vanier clash off-ice in Provincial tournament By Mike Shah in SHERBROOKE - Last weekend's QASA Provincial High School Hockey Championships in Greenfield Park had terrific on-ice action, with Galt making it to the semi-finals and Massey-Vanier winning the consolation final.But some of the off-ice discussion was not to everyone's taste.After Galt’s opening game against John Rennie, defenceman Sean Ride was declared ineligible to play by tournament director Steve Mitchell.Ride had a suspension which carried over from a spearing penalty he received in the ET1AC playoffs against Massey-Vanier.The suspension was brought to Mitchell s attention by Massey-Vanier coach Kim Glover during Galt's game against John Rennie.Ride sat out one game in the ETIAC finals, but Mitchell said league rules state that he should have been suspended for two or three games.Two questions were raised at the Provincials.Why did Ride miss only one game?And why did Glover wait until the tournament was underway to bring the matter to Mitchell's attention?Glover said he knew Ride was ineligible but he wasn't aware Galt would play the defenceman "until they started the game and I saw him on the ice." FIRST YEAR "I never went to see Steve (Mitchell) about lodging a protest." Glover said Monday."It's my first year coaching and I didn't know how to approach tins.1 went to see him about what I should do about the situation" Galt assistant coach Bob Halsall said ETIAC didn't make a ruling on Ride's case— which left Galt to interpret league rules and apply a suspension.Tt was an honest mistake." Halsall said before Galt's semi-final game on Saturday."We did not do it (give Ride only a one-game suspension! on intent." Mitchell said Monday that he "believes them both” but “both sides are at fault." "The perception was that (Galt coach Brian Heath' was playing around." Mitchell said."Galt didn't know their rules well enough." "And Kim (Glover) should have brought it up earlier — he should’ve spoken to Galt about it.He had a right to do w hat he did, but the timing was off." Glover said "the Galt coaches were saying I planned this all along.That was the furthest thing from my mind."Em the one being made out to look like the bad guy when 1 just did the honest thing." he said.EASE UP Mitchell said Galt and Massey-Vanier have to “ease up on each other" so that they can continue to be included in high school competitions between leagues."Both of those schools put too much emphasis on winning," he said As for Glover, he says he's tired of confrontations with his fellow coaches.¦'Em frustrated — and that will affect whether 1 decide to coach again." Glover, whose first year as a hockey coach came to a close at the provincials, said he is “keeping his options open" concerning coaching the Vikings next year He said the time he has to devote to hockey is getting in the way of his professional goals as a teacher.Canadiens bond in Bromont Stéphane Richer had on his game-face during yesterday's workout in Bromont.Richer narrowly escaped a serious eye injury later in the practice.By Mike Shahin BROMONT — The Montreal Canadiens will go into tonight's opening playoff game against the Buffalo Sabres with fresh country air in their lungs and visions of snow-peaked mountains in their heads.The Habs' two-day "road trip" to this small ski-resort in the Eastern Townships was meant to give the players a chance to focus on the task at hand — beating the Sabres — together as a team.It also gave them a chance to relax.“I think the trip has served its purpose.” Canadiens General Manager Serge Savard said during yesterday's practice at the Bromont Sports Centre."We had a heavy weekend to finish the season," Savard said.“Sunday’s game in Quebec finished around midnight.We needed the break.” Russ Courtnall said he has no 3 trouble focusing himself w'hen it ?comes to big games, but he admit-a ted such a trip can be good for the < team as a whole.| “If as a group it 'll bring us more = together, then it's worth it."

Savard added, “we have almost a full lineup.We’re going into the playoffs healthier than we were two or three weeks ago.” One Canadien who won't start tonight's series is defenceman Alain Côté, who is in hospital with an eye iniurv suffered on the weekend when ho was hit by Quebec's Scott Pearson.Savard said Côte w ill probably skate by the end of this week.KEANE UNCERTAIN Mike Keane skated early in the practice, but was considered a "question mark" by Savard Keane called his own status "uncertain" before going to see the team trainer about his bruised neck.Denis Savard s bruised ankle didn't seem to hinder his movement in practice.Savard was flying.Lyle Odelein practised as well — skating like his bruised foot was back to normal.Courtnall.this year's Molson Cup winner and the team’s top point-getter with 26 goals and 50 assists.is not worried about the injuries.“W'hen we miss a couple of guys, we have the players who can fill the holes, good solid defensive-style players," he said.“The better we can play defensively, the better chance we have to win." NOTES — Stéphane Richer almost joined the ranks of the injured during yesterday’s workout.He was struck in the face by Lyle Odelein s stick during a drill.Fortunately, Richer said, the stick caught a piece of his helmet, deflecting the blow Richer had a welt just beneath his left eye after practice.Courtnall: “/ stay focused no matter what.” Coach Burns and his coaching staff set their sights on the Sabres.Baseball roundup By The Associated Press Seven more players were let go Tuesday, the last possible day to place a player on waivers without guaranteeing his entire 1991 salary.Pitchers Kevin Hickey and John Mitchell of Baltimore, infielder Edgar Diaz and outfielder Mike Felder of Milwaukee, infielder Nelson Liriano of Minnesota, pitcher Jose Guzman ol Texas and pitcher Don Carman of Houston all were placed on unconditional release waivers.That brought the total waived during spring training to 36.The three dozen, some of whom still may be claimed through Friday, will get a total of $4.798,510 in termination pay instead of $18.102,500 in salaries."1 played good, so what can I do?" Liriano said, hinting that his $507.500 salary was part of the decision.I have a good feeling on my part because I felt I played well for them.They know why they released me." Fernando Valenzuela, placed on waivers by the Los Angeles Hod gers last Thursday, cleared Tuesday and became a free agent FIND SPOTS While some players were shuffling off.several found spots on major league rosters.The biggest name among them was 39-year-old pitcher Mike Flanagan, who agreed to a one-year.$250.000 contract with the Baltimore Orioles.He pitched three solid innings Tuesday in Baltimore's 10-5 victory over the Atlanta Braves at West Palm Beach, Fla., has a 2.00 ERA in five games this spring, and will be the Orioles’ left handed middle reliever.In exhibition games: Minnesota beat St.Louis 6-3, Pittsburgh beat Detroit 5-2.Kansas City beat the New York Mets 9-0, Montreal beat the New York Yankees 8-0.Los Angeles beat Houston 2-0, Baltimore beat Atlanta 10-5.Oakland beat Cleveland 10-7.Milwaukee beat San Francisco 7-6, Seattle beat the Chicago Cubs 11-5 and California beat San Diego 10-4 Pneus RKoodrtfh RADIAL TÂ Sierra 832-3928 if busy 832-3325 Service «le imciift» COMEArinc.TIRES The Advantage 133 Angus South East Angus » * i I i i.1 * ?5 % Î Î 5 ?$ ?$ i 5 $ K ;
