reached agreement on division of the vast territory.Subject to a referendum among the 51,000 territory residents and agreement of the federal and territorial governments, the boundary will create two new territories.It will begin as a straight line north near the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border, turn northwest to include the Beaufort Sea in a new proposed western territory and then proceed in a straight line to the North Pole, a territorial government spokesman said Thursday from Yellowknife.A news conference was held in Iqaluit, which recently changed its name from Frobisher Bay, to announce the agreement.The chief negotiators on division of the NWT into an eastern territory to be called Nunavut and a western territory named Denendeh were on their way to Ottawa Thursday to present Indian Affairs Minister Bill McKnight with details of the agreement.That meeting isn’t expected to be held until today.However, an Indian Affairs Department official said the agreement has three main components: A consensus on the boundary, principles for development of constitutions in the two new territories and 'inclusion of the oil and gas rich Beaufort Sea in the western territory.It also appears to contain a commitment to develop resource revenue-sharing mechanisms between the new eastern and western territories, George Da Pont said The agreement will be presented to the assembly of the NWT and the federal government before being put to a vote by territory residents as soon as possible.It is hoped the two territories will exist by the fall of 1991.The negotiations, which have intensified in recent months after years of on-again, off-again debate, were complicated by historical animosity between Indians and Inuit and strong differences over who should control the oil and gas resources of the Beaufort.John Amagoalik, chairman of the Nunavut Constitutional Forum, said earlier this month that animosity had lessened and there were only two issues left to be resolved.“The small one is a formula on how the boundary agreement should be ratified.“The big one is the Beaufort Sea.” SEEK HOMELAND The forum represents Inuit seeking a homeland in the eastern portion of the NWT.Its western counterpart, the Western Constitutional Forum, represents Dene Indians, Metis and whites in the western Arctic.Steven Kakfwi is president of the Dene Nation and chairman of the Western Constitutional Forum.The main stumbling block in the boundary debate has been whether the Inuvialuit, Inuit who live in the Mackenzie Delta on the Beaufort, should join a western territory dominated by whites, Dene and Metis or be part of the new eastern territory where Inuit make up most of the population.The Nunavut Constitutional Forum had insisted it should receive the Beaufort as part of the division agreement but the possibility of a breakthrough in negotiations heightened when the forum gave up that position.The Western Constitutional Forum said in December it was unwilling to give the Inuvialuit a veto over non-renewable resource' development because it is a provincial responsibility and such decisions should reflect what is best for the whole territory.See FEDERAL, page 2 Grim polls won’t mean change, says Mulroney By Edison Stewart OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's battered government now has fallen behind even the NDP in popularity — the first time in the 44-year history of the Gallup poll that a government has trailed both opposition parties, Gallup reported Thursday.But Mulroney and senior ministers insisted there will be no change in course.“It’s steady as she goes,’’ Mulroney said cheerily, even though Gallup reported that Conservative support among decided voters Jan.7-10 fell two points over the previous month to 28 per cent while the NDP rose five points to 30 and the Liberals fell four to 41.“We’re dealing with serious problems and as you deal with them some people are happy and others are less so.That’s the way it is in a democracy.” Finance Minister Michael Wilson confidently predicted that the country’s economic performance — which included a new trading record on the Toronto Stock Exchange later in the day — will eventually turn things around.‘ ‘The success there is very very clear in the economic performance of the country,” Wilson said after the year’s first full cabinet meeting.“I think that’s what Canadians are going to look at.” Deputy Prime Minister Don Mazankowski brushed aside the fact that the Mulroney administration now is virtually tied with the low of 27 per cent set by Joe Clark’s short-lived government in December 1979.“We came back and won a majority in ’84,” said Mazankowski, overlooking the fact that the Conservatives lost power and dumped the leader in the five-year interim.But Agriculture Minister John Wise admitted that "one has to be concerned about it, and indeed we are concerned about it.” And Energy Minister Marcel Masse said he senses a backlash against policies to help Quebec, though he said it is difficult to quantify and cautioned against exaggerating its depth.The government now has lost almost half the support it won in the 1984 election.Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Friday.January 16.1987 50 cents At least 16 people dead in plane collision SALT LAKE CITY.Utah (API — A commuter airplane about to land and a private plane that had just taken off collided over the Salt Lake Valley on Thursday, killing at least 16 people and scattering wreckage over a residential area, authorities said.Salt Lake County fire marshal Frank Brown, who confirmed the death toll, said falling debris da- maged at least three houses, but there were no fires and apparently no one on the ground was injured.Thirty firefighters in nine trucks rushed to the crash site 25 kilometres southwest of downtown Salt Lake City."They are picking up bodies here and there, whenever people call us to report them.” Brown said.Martin Bee of Kearns said he was outdoors when he "heard a boom — a big boom — and I looked up and there were just parts flying all over.You couldn't tell one thing or another.You couldn't tell what was what.I was just ducking and trying to stay out of the way of things." The commuter plane was a twin engined jet prop Skywest Metroli ner inbound from Pocatello.Idaho, to Salt Lake International Airport, said Dick Meyer of the Federal Aviation Administration in Seattle.He said it can carry 18 passengers and two crew' members.Meyer said the smaller plane was a Mooney that had just taken off from Airport No.2, a small faci lity near the crash site.Nicaragua

police officers assigned to a demonstration last October 25 that resulted in the death of Gaston Harvey were drinking on duty, a coroner's inquest was told Thursday.Cpl.Denis Roy told coroner Robert Sansfacon that he and his partner Pierre Marceau each had a beer at a local bar, where they had gone to meet an informer they believed had information on the pro test.The man never showed up.Roy said he also drank a quartsized bottle of beer about two and a half hours before he went on duty.Harvey died in police custody, suffocating on his own vomit after a struggle with Marceau at the de monstration, held to protest the failure of a resort owner to rehire unionized employees at his hotel in nearby Pointe-au-Pic.Roy said both he and Marceau were “in full possession of our faculties" that night.He said it seemed silly to wait in a bar and not buy anything to drink.A lawyer asked him why he hadn’t drunk a glass of juice or a soft drink.“What do you want me to tell you?” Roy responded.“1 drank a beer.” Other demonstrators have testified that the two policemen smelled of alcohol and that they saw Marceau squatting under a tree near the union headquarters, where the demonstration was to begin.It took Marceau several attempts before he was able to stand up, witnesses said.Roy also testified that Mar-eeau’s eyes were red and he was crying when he saw Harvey on a stretcher in the hospital.Roy said when Marceau saw Harvey he said.“Is there a doctor here?.That’s my pal, that’s Gaston.” Anglo sign victory may still be appealed By Penny MacRae QUEBEC (CP) — Premier Robert Bourassa held out the possibility Thursday that the government may appeal a court judgment striking down French-only sign provisions of the province’s language law — Bill 101.However, Bourassa said an appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada would not eliminate “possible action” to permit some form of bilingual signs before a ruling by the high court.The final decision lies with Justice Minister Herbert Marx, said Bourassa.who indicated before the judgment that he would not refer it to the high court because it could prolong the emotional language debate.The Quebec Court of Appeal ruled Dec.22 that the requirement for French-only signs contravened freedom of expression provisions in the Quebec and federal charters of rights.The appeal court decision triggered a rash of incidents at Montreal stores with English signs or names, including the firebombing of a Zeller’s department store and bomb threats against other retail outlets.Bourassa told reporters he believes there “now is a relatively calm climate” over the sign issue.And he said he feels there still is a consensus within the Liberal caucus behind the party program to allow other languages to appear on signs with French.WILL MEET The cabinet will consider the issue at a meeting in mid-February to befollowed by a gathering of the 99-member caucus at the end of the month.There are three choices including an appeal to the Supreme Court or amending the law to allow bilingual signs.The third option would be to leave the law as it is now, allowing French-only signs, but adding a “notwithstanding clause” to exempt the law from provisions in the federal charter.Bourassa would not say whether a decision would be announced before the legislature session resumes March 17.Quebec has 90 days to appeal to the Supreme Court.In the meantime, the sign provisions of the 10-year-old language law remain in effect.During the 1985 election campaign, Bourassa pledged to abolish the French-only sign rule, but last fall the Parti Québécois spearheaded a campaign to oppose the move and garnered support from nationalist and labor groups.Bourassa cited the government’s decision last fall to appeal a lower-court ruling, which struck down a law banning adds aimed al children under 13, as possible grounds for taking the sign law judgment to the Supreme Court.“There could be some technical reason which could justify the attorney general to appeal to the Supreme Court,” he said.In the ruling on children’s advertising, the Quebec Court of Appeal said parts of the Quebec Consumer Protection Act restricting messages aimed at youngsters violated freedom of expression, a central issue in the sign law judgment.Murphy gave confusing signals, says Reisman By Norma Greenaway WASHINGTON (CP) — Simon Reisman.Canada’s chief freer-trade negotiator, accused his U.S.counterpart, Peter Murphy, today of mischief making on the controversial auto issue and said he doesn’t like it.Reisman criticized Murphy for giving a speech this week that sent out confusing signals about U.S.intentions over whether it wants the 1965 auto pact to be included in the freer-trade negotiations.“I think the result of what he did is mischievous and I don’t like it.” a bristling Reisman told reporters as Canadian and U.S.negotiators resumed the trade talks.“I'm going to let him know that I don’t like it.I’ve already let him know that I don’t like it.And I’m going to let him know again that I don’t like it.“And I can tell you that if he wants to talk about it and he wants to open it (the auto pact) and he's got some problems.I 'm the man he should come to with it.I’m the negotiator."He should come to me and say: Simon Reisman I'd like to negotiate with you about the auto pact.’ He has not done so." Reisman’s dutburst was provoked by a series of questions about Murphy's speech to a trade conference in Washington on Tuesday.Although Murphy said no final decision had been made on whether the United States would ask to have the auto pact reopened, he made clear he considers the 22-year-old agreement to be outdated.Canada-U.S.trade in autos, worth about $50 billion Cdn a year, accounts for one-third of all trade between the two countries.“I can't imagine that in this type of arrangement that we could go in and exclude one-third of our trade," Murphy said.Reisman said that at no time since the negotiations began last May has Murphy either formally or informally proposed putting the auto pact on the bargaining table.“Murphy said things (in his speech) which are subject to misinterpretation,” Reisman said, ad- ding that he had urged Murphy to clarify his remarks because they were “creating a lot of confusion.” Reisman said Canada has not proposed opening the auto pact on grounds it is working well and there is no reason to change it.“As far as we’re concerned leave it alone,” he said.“There are no problems with it.” Reisman said he has told that to Murphy "at least 20 times and if he raises the subject I’ll tell him that again.” At the same time, he repeated that if the United States has some proposals for improving the auto pact to bolster trade, production and employment in Canada, he would be prepared to listen, 1 >! 2—The RECORD—Friday, January 16,1987 Staff kept Mulroneys’ piglet warm and cosy Embassy may have held monitoring systems HiCiltO.OTTAWA (CP) — Even the rich and powerful had to cope with the ice storm that struck the Ottawa area at Christmas and left thousands with hamburgers and the like in place of the usual festive turkey.But the elite often have the power to overcome such trivial inconveniences.Take Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, for example.Mulroney and family spent Christmas at the prime minister’s country home at Harrington Lake, just outside Ottawa.On Christmas Eve, the family has a tradition of coming home from Mass to a roast suckling pig.Old Person Winter had other ideas.A thick coating of ice on trees and power lines shut down the electricity, threatening to cancel the celebration for the 26 friends and relatives assembled at the Mulroney household for the occasion.Not to worry.The staff merely started up a 24-hour generator to keep the piglet — and friends and family — warm and cosy.And while some local residents spent as much as several days without power over the holiday, the Mounties brought in other generators to ensure a continuous supply of heat and light in the prime ministerial abode for the rest of the week.There may be relief coming for all who scowl at the sight of those torn and dye-stained Canadian flags that flap in tatters in the wind at countless schools and summer cottages throughout the land.Twenty-two years after the Maple Leaf flag was adopted as Canada’s banner, it is expected that “final” standards for outdoor, long-term flags will be available by the end of 1987.Standards for indoor flags will be available even sooner, the Supply and Services Department says.This news follows years of testing with various materials.At one time, outdoor tests were conducted throughout a harsh Ottawa winter, but a committee set up to revise the durability standards felt the results were not up to scratch.He may be from the poorest, job-starved part of the country, but Newfoundland’s John Cros-bie thinks his home province is first rate.The transport minister made that clear in a recent speech, but he also mentioned that British Continued from page I It said it would guarantee direct involvement of aboriginal peoples in any decisions about nonrenewable resource development in the Mackenzie Delta and Beaufort Sea.Andre Theriault, mayor of Iqa-luit, said natives in the western part of the territory, knowing they are outnumbered by whites, are concerned about protecting their political future as a new constitution is developed.He quoted the agreement as saying: “Each and every resident in the western jurisdiction should have the right to participate in decisions.“To protect the Dene, Metis and Inuvialuit, each aboriginal community in the western jurisdiction shall be explicitly recognized in the constitution regardless of the (native) proportion of the total population.” Capital Notebook By Vic Parsons Columbia ranks a close second.“As minister of transport and a member from the least-advantaged province in the economic sense and the most advantaged province in the sense of beauty, culture, tradition, in the virility of its people, maturity.’’he began.“British Columbia, John?” interrupted New DemocratNelson Riis, who hails from the B.C.interior.“British Columbia is next,” Crosbie said, without a pause.“If I ever left Newfoundland and Labrador, my virility would impel me not to stop until I got to British Columbia.” Communications Minister Flora MacDonald is taking a bit part in the CTV historical series The Campbells, in an episode that is to be broadcast in mid-March.The Campbells is the story of a Scottish immigrant family in Canada in the second half of the 19th century, and the Cape Breton-born MacDonald will be on camera Feb.4, possibly in the role of a politician’s wife.MacDonald was not suddenly discovered sipping sodas at a corner maltshop by a talent scout seeking new stars.She bid for her role at a charity dinner held in Toronto for the Children’s Broadcast Institute and paid $200.Originally, a walk-on role had been contemplated, but producers apparently decided to take advantage of MacDonald’s political talents nd gave her a speaking part.It’s not true that infiltrators from south of the undefended border have taken over the Bank of Canada, that federal institution which sets the pattern of the country’s monetary and interest-rate policy.So you can rest assured if you see the American Eagle front and centre on the cover of the bank’s November review.The cover merely depicts a silver 20-cent American coin dating back to 1875.Each month the bank features a photo of one of the rare or unusual coins in its museum.Ottawa has always maintained a hands-off approach to the negotiations, saying it would only become involved after northern groups had reached an initial agreement.Federal officials have attended the negotiations as observers.“The two constitutional forums envisage a four-year process to develop proposals for new constitutions for their respective eastern and western territories,” Da Pont said.“What exact role the federal government will play in that process hasn’t been determined yet.” He described the ratification process as elaborate and said the federal government ultimately has to agree to implement the agreement and whatever is in the new constitutions.The two new territories may want provincehood as a long-term goal but Da Pont said that isn’t being discussed with Ottawa now.By Nelson Wyatt MONTREAL (CP) — The decision by Soviet officials to let its consulate burn rather than allow firefighters to enter has prompted considerable curiosity about what the top floor contained.Soviet officials won’t say but intelligence experts speculated Thursday that the third floor housed devices to monitor communications from other foreign consulates and trade missions here.Firefighters were barred from the consulate Wednesday by Soviets who tried in vain to control the fire with buckets of snow and hand extinguishers.The Soviets were also slow to leave the greystone structure, one of three mansions housing consular staff.Firemen saw some employees gathering documents and apparently escaping to an adjacent building through a tunnel.“They really got nervous when we climbed the stairs to the third floor,” recalls fire Capt.Jean-Paul Girard.“That’s when they kicked us out again.” Assistant fire director Georges Gagnon said Thursday the fire burned “everything on the third floor and the roof — forget about it.Everything went through.“They probably were doing a lot of interception of communications from there,” said James Bamford, a Massachusetts-based writer on TORONTO (CP) — The scars on Assad Mahmood’s legs have faded, but he remembers vividly how he got them.Seven years ago this week, the quiet of the teacher’s classroom in Afghanistan was shattered when soldiers stormed in, handcuffed him and took him to prison where he was questioned, beaten and put in leg irons.When Soviet tanks and troops rolled across the border into Afghanistan a few weeks earlier, Mahmood unknowingly became an enemy of the state.With the help of Moslem rebels, he later escaped to the countryside and later to Canada.These days, he’s a security guard at Pearson International Airport and one of about 1,000 Afghans in Toronto.Refugee workers are impressed with how Afghans have adapted to a new life.“They have an incredibly deep Pelkey: My By Chris Morris FREDERICTON (CP) — When Rosalie Pelkey ended a tearful confrontation with her parents on the evening of last August 18, she got into her car, turned the key and switched on the radio.The car exploded.The blast propelled the car hal-fway along a shopping mall parking lot, trailing debris and rapidly filling with smoke.But the car bomb didn’t kill the 26-year-old bank teller, who managed to crawl out a window despite extensive burns to the lower part of her body.Pelkey appeared in court Thursday to testify at the attempted murder trial of her father, Dale Pelkey, 46, of Four Falls in northwestern New Brunswick.Rosalie Pelkey, who had to fight back tears at one point during her lengthy testimony, said she had an emotional meeting in the parking lot with her mother and father who opposed her decision to move in with her boyfriend.“The last thing my father said to me was, T guess you’ve made up your mind; you’ll never see us again’,” she told the packed courtroom.She said her father then quickly intelligence matters.KEY TARGET “One of the key targets from there would have been communications into and out of the other foreign consulates in Montreal, particularly the United States consu late and some of the other major western consulates.” Bamford said such monitoring is usually done using a hidden micro-wave antenna — like a satellite dish — which would be linked to a computer and a tape recorder.He said the antennas are often concealed in wooden structures, like small shacks.News photos of the fire Wednesday show two shacks burning on the roof.He said the computers are programmed for certain phone numbers and when calls are made from those numbers, they trigger a signal in the microwave pattern on which they are transmitted.This starts the tape recorder and the call is intercepted.“It’s the same equipment the phone company uses for billing,” Bamford said.“Instead of triggering a computer for billing information, it triggers a recording device.” USED ELSEWHERE He said the Soviets are believed to use that type of system at their Washington, D.C., embassy and consulates in New York and San Francisco — “I don’t see why they wouldn’t be doing it in Montreal.sense of community,” said Helga Kutz-Harder, refugee program officer for the United Church of Canada.“We’ve rarely seen such networking within a newly arrived ethnic group.” Harder said Afghans who arrive in Toronto are often placed in jobs and their own apartments within a couple of weeks.HELPING OTHERS “When members of our community hear of jobs available in their workplace, they send word back,” said Shafiq Jasar, president of the Afghan Association of Ontario.“When new Afghans arrive, we often have leads ready to be tapped.” The United Church has regularly underwritten efforts by the Toronto-based Afghan association to resettle Afghans in Canada since the summer of 1985.“We contribute $5,000 per year as an emergency fund,” Kutz-Harder said.“But aside from this, drove away.The petite, sandy-haired woman said that shortly after she arrived at the mall, her father suggested she talk to her mother alone.She and her mother went into a store at the mall and stayed there for about 15 minutes, leaving her father alone in the parking lot.An earlier witness testified he saw Pelkey moving around his daughter’s car while she was in the store with her mother.Crown prosecutor Glen Abbott is trying to prove Pelkey placed an explosive device beneath the driver's seat of the car while his daughter was in the store.CHANGED MIND Pelkey said that when she and her mother returned from the store, her mother suggested they go to a nearby hamburger chain.When Pelkey offered to follow her parents in her own car, her father said no.She said she then walked with her father to a far corner of the parking lot so they could discuss her decision to move in with her boyfriend, now her fiance.“He said ‘you don’t want to have anything more to do with me’,” she said in a soft voice.“I said no — it “It’s a very cost effective type of intelligence,” he added.“It doesn’t require a lot of manpower, the equipment isn’t expensive and it doesn’t require a lot of maintenance.” He said he wasn’t surprised the Soviets denied firemen access to the building.Most countries would be careful about granting entry even in the worst circumstances for fear of security breaches, he added, recalling that documents had been stolen from a U.S.embassy that caught fire in Moscow a few years ago.Bamford also said the fortification of the building's top floor — where firemen said windows were blocked with bricks piled three deep and backed by steel bars — was not unusual.“The top floor is always the most sensitive,” he said.“It’s where they have two things normally — the eavesdropping equipment and the crypto room, where all the codes and equipment are.” David Charters of the Centre for Conflict Studies at the University of New Brunswick in Fredericton, said research he has done suggests most covert activities carried out by the Soviets are based in Ottawa.“There were some that had a Montreal focus,” he said, stressing that most of the information he had gathered had come from public sources and not classified docu- it really costs us nothing.They look after themselves.” Afghan House, a shelter for Afghans when they arrive in Toronto, is helped in part by a $16,600 grant from the federal Immigration Department.But the Afghan association doesn’t rely on government handouts, said house co-ordinator Saber Bereia.Association members gave $13,000 last year to help fellow countrymen coming to Canada.Afghans aren’t afraid to take a step down on the pay ladder to take a step up later.Waheed Mansuri, 29, a civil engineer in Afghanistan, is a waiter in a Toronto hotel.Mohammed Popal, 32, a former government customs officer, works in a downtown bakery.Najib Tahiri, 32, a mechanical engineer, first took a job as an engineering technician and now is planning with other investors to buy a restaurant franchise.Yet many aren’t sure if they will was wrong.She said her father had been upset when she told him about her boyfriend in a telephone conversation in early August.She said he cried and told her she was cheap.Pelkey said her father arranged the meeting in the parking lot and insisted she bring her own car.The accused, who sat quietly and without expression throughout his daughter’s testimony, is being tried before Mr.Justice David Dickson without a jury.Special Const.Howard Gould of Fredericton RCMP testified he be- TRIED RECRUITING “They were very run-of-the-mill intelligence gathering activities, a lot of it involving attempts to rè-cruit people to get information for them.” Most of the recruits were sought in the military and government departments, often with little success, he added.Charters said that judging by reports of the damage, the fire would likely delay any operations at the consulate, not just covert activities.He said the third floor — with its bricked up windows — probably contained the building’s security areas.“I would guess that if they had been bricked up, that’s where a lot of their secure areas would be, which would probably include communications, perhaps rooms which had been specially sealed off for sensitive discussions and they would probably make an effort to make sure those rooms would not be penetrated by electronic listening devices.“They would probably have their code and cipher rooms there.” He said that considering most nations regard their consulates as sovereign territory, the actions by the Soviets at restricting entry shouldn’t really be considered unusual.stay in Canada.“It’s a very difficult question,” said Najib Tahiri.“We love the opportunity we have to come here and some of us love Canada as much as our own homeland.“But if the Soviet occupation ends and the Communist government is replaced, each will have to choose for himself.” Canada accepted 307 Afghan refugees last year, up from 195 the year before and 86 in 1984, said Scott Heatherington, director of the refugee affairs section of the federal Immigration Commission.About 1,500 are in this country.International monitoring organizations say five million Afghans have been driven from their country to become refugees.“Not all five million are seeking to resettle in the West, and when you consider that the U.S.is taking a little more than 2,000 per year, I feel we are doing our share,” said Heatherington.lieves a single stick of dynamite, fitted with a blasting cap, was placed under the driver’s seat of the car.He said the blasting cap was attached by a long piece of wire to the back of the radio and was ignited when the woman turned on the radio.Gould said the seat and the weight of the occupant directed the force of the explosion down instead of up.As well, Pelkey had opened the sun roof of her car and much of the force of the blast was carried through the roof opening.Weather Doonesbury Europe’s cold claims 213 By The Associated Press Europe’s worst winter in decades had claimed at least 213 lives by Thursday, with hundreds of thousands of people isolated by snow-clogged roads.Troops in France and West Germany blasted through ice to prevent flooding and to keep two nuclear plants operating.Freezing temperatures continue to envelope the continent, prompting the European Community to grant the equiva- lent of $2.75 million US to charities providing fuel, food and shelter to the elderly and homeless.Western European temperatures on Thursday ranged from zero in London to -18 in Helsinki.The forecast was for more cold today.Travel by land, air and sea

development, head Liberal election team Lapierre gets key Quebec post as Turner shuffles Opposition benches OTTAWA (CP) —Liberal Leader John Turner has promoted three young Liberal MPs, including Jean Lapierre of Shefford.to major shadow cabinet posts but kept the old guard Liberals from Pierre Trudeau’s reign on the front benches, party sources say.The big winners in the shadow cabinet shuffle scheduled to be announced today are Lapierre, Newfoundland MP Brian Tobin and the fiesty Sheila Copps from Hamilton.Lapierre, who played a key organizing role for Turner during the leadership review, will be given wide-ranging responsibilities for regional development issues.But sources say most of his time will be spent out of the Commons, organizing in Quebec for the next election.That could be a sign that Lapierre is sliding into the role once held by Liberal MP André Ouellet, who was the chief political organizer in Quebec under Trudeau and his lieutenant.Marc Lalonde.The promotion may have caught Lapierre by surprise.At an off-the-record gathering at his Granby home Wednesday he made no mention of a change in responsibilities.Tobin and Copps are on the left wing of the party and are expected to play prominent roles in enhancing the Liberal image with yuppie voters in the next election.Tobin, 33, has been given the industry and privatization portfolios — a major promotion from forestry critic.He earned his spurs for his loyalty to Turner during last November’s leadership review and his gifted oratorical onslaughts in the cut and thrust of the daily Commons question period.Copps, 34, was handed health and welfare, the biggest department in government with an an- nual budget of almost $30 billion.She was critic for labor and housing.SHOWS LOYALTY Sources say Turner elevated Copps for loyalty and her no holds barred attacks on Conservative cabinet ministers in question period Tobin and Copps were both members of the now defunct rat pack of Liberals MPs, who gained national prominence for their storm-trooper partisanship.Another winner is Doug Frith, the former caucus chairman and Turner ally, who takes over defence from veteran Liberal Len

McKeever treats more than 100 owls a year at her rehabilitation centre, the recent arrival of seven snowy owls — native to the northern tundra — puzzles her.“Something may have happened to the food source up north and it’s forcing the snowies south in search of food,” says McKeever.“It could be an early winter, or 'a drop in the lemming population .but it’s probably weather related.” v The large white or speckled birds were emaciated and dehydrated when they arrived at McKeever’s uni-,que owl hospital and rest home in this community about 150 kilometres southeast of Hamilton.; They will spend the winter there in the maze of large Imulti-level cages built on the sloping banks of Twenty tMile Creek, and be released “past the points of large ^populations of people” in the spring.McKeever has called naturalists in Sudbury, Thunder Bay and North Bay trying to trace the birds’ route.“They haven't seen any snowies around there, so these must have come down by another route.They would have followed land forms, like the lakes, and probably just eventually (wound) their way to Lake Ontario.” CANADIAN CUJ&S ’%5aocLUB' i voted! farlntei- 'ihei.zmuw CLU& New York wrestles with racism NEW YORK (CP) — When Mayor Ed Koch went to a white church to condemn a racial attack that had happened nearby, parishioners shouted abuse at him and warned him to “leave it alone.” When he went to a black church, he disputed the contention of his audience that whites walking in Harlem after midnight have nothing to fear.In challenging the two congregations, Koch was appealing to his constituency at large, a city apparently stunned by a white gang’s attack on three black youths as they emerged from a pizzeria in the Howard Beach neighborhood of Queens in December.One of the victims, Michael Griffith, 23, was killed by a car as he fled across a highway.The two others finally escaped the bigoted insults and the baseball bats and sticks.New York City has an average of more than three murders a day and several hundred reported racial incidents a year, including the beating death four years ago of a black transit worker.In that context, it might have been expected that people would let the law take its course, let angry Interpreting the News By Calvin Woodward black leaders have their say, let the sensational tabloids scream for a few days, and move on.But when this lumbering giant of a city gets around to singling out a problem, the ground can fairly shake as it charges after a solution.Less than a month after Griffith's death, and with the trial of three white youths still pending, the city is engaged in its most intense examination of racial relations in years.DEPLORES ATTACK Koch has likened the attack in the mainly white, middle-class neighborhood to a lynching in the Old South and declared it “the most horrendous act of violence” during his nine years as mayor.Accused previously of insensitivity to ethnic tension in his city, where about half of the more than seven mil- lion inhabitants are white and a quar ter are black, Koch now calls bigotry a cancer that must be attacked.Plans for commissions to investigate racial relations have been announced, along with intentions to introduce courses on racial tolerance in schools.Passions that were already running high were inflamed further when murder and manslaughter charges were dropped against the three whites and replaced by less serious charges.But that happened because the two youths who escaped the attack refused to testify at an initial hearing, acting on the advice of lawyers who alleged a cover-up in the police investigation.Although that allegation has been rejected by local officials, including the city’s black police commissioner, the case has become so sensitive that the governor of New York state, Mario Cuomo, this week appointed a special prosecutor to handle it.Meanwhile, the staying power of New York’s single-minded fight against racism will only be known as the months pass.SOME SHOT Some had been shot.“Sitting in green fields, the white owls are sitting targets for anyone with a gun.” she says.Others were injured on roadways and tried to hide in ditches nursing their injuries, but they were unable to hunt food and were dying of starvation And that’s when people usually spot them because _-.*they don’t care anymore if anyone sees them.” •ft McKeever and her husband.Larry, started the Owl Rehabilitation Research Foundation 21 years ago at a ^|.*7sprawling brick home she designed.The McKeevers S !;îare known around the world for their work, and Kay McKeever was invested in the Order of Canada in No-;Ivember.r$.The private centre depends mostly on donations to Xmeet its $65.000 operating costs, most of which goes for j'food.A weekly shopping list includes about 1,500 mice i:*and a couple of hundred crickets.— The centre has become the permanent home for fr about 86 owls with injuries so severe they would not >.survive in the wilderness.It is also a temporary haven for 40 transients.McKeever’s interest in owls came about by accident, !*?she says.1] “It just happened I was interested in binding and Z predators, and happened to mention it to a man who sold bird supplies,” she says.• ’1 1% “Someone had given him a screech owl and he ’ll;! couldn’t look after it.Would I?That's how it began.“ K* Now she, husband Larry — also an ardent

the care and rehabilitation of injured owls.Larry McKeever recently published a book, A Dowry of Owls, tracing the beginnings of the centre.What a town can do for peace Lately we’ve been hearing about towns declaring themselves Nuclear Weapons Free Zones.This is one basic step a town and its citizens can take for peace.What it means is that no nuclear weapons production, storage, testing or travel can happen in or through the streets of that town.1986 saw an increase in the total number of communities all over Canada now nuclear weapons free, approximately 32 per cent of the land area.With Ontario joining Manitoba and the Northwest territories that will increase to 43 per cent.The first step is to collect signatures on a petition asking the town or city council to pass a resolution.To find out more, contact Citizens for Nuclear Reasponsibility (P.O.Box 215, Lennoxville, JIM 1Z4) who succeded in getting 700 signatures and, working with their town council, to adapt just such a resolution.Blank copies of the resolution, only needing the name of your town filled in, are available here at the centre.What are some of the other actions a town can take for peace?“Town Twinning” is popular.This involves linking your town with another town of similar size as a means of promoting grassroots awareness and cooperation.This project can lead to crosscontinent friendships and cross cultural exchanges.In Canada, it is coordinated by the World Federalists (46 Elgin St.Suite32, Ottaw’a, Ont.KIP 5K6) and Duncan Graham.Vice President of World Federalists of Canada active through Global Citizens Association (Box 94, Stanstead, Que.JOB 3E0 819-876-5438) would be able to explain how to start the process locally.There are 20 such towns in Canada who have become a sister-city or twin-town by passing a “mundializa-tion" by-law.This is just a fancy word for a simple idea, “World Community" from the Latin, “mundus" for world.Some mundialized towns fly the UN flag to express their belief that future peace and progress depend on cooperation and goodwill and in recognition of the unity of humanity.Your town can establish a peace committee similar to or as a part of its leisure committee.In Toronto, their committee collected peace messages from any citizen who wanted to contribute and is publishing them in a Peace Book Toronto's Department of Public Health also organized a collection and display of now, unwrapped nonviolent toys at city hall which were distributed to charitable agen cies in time for Christmas with the message, “Let's give our children message of peace for the holiday season.Our children can get the message that violence is OK when they receive war toys as presents.But this holiday ùr&anffî [eaccjn&fcH^mrepwrüpiji By Rosemary Sullivan season we can choose to give our children nonviolent toys.” It’s not too soon to start such a project for the 1987 holidays.Your town can encourage its library to set up a special section and per-mament display on peace education, or at least to publish a list of peace books and related resource materials available at the library for students, teachers, parents and interested citizens.For a sample copy of the peace bibliography offered at Westmount Public Library write Judy Berlyn at Westmount Initiatives for Peace (P.O.Box 640, Victoria Station, Montreal, H3Z 2Y7).Your Town Hall is another good place for exhibits.Ask your leisure committee or town council to sponsor a Posters for Peace Exhibit.You could ask your local schools to involve students in making the posters or see about a permament peace poster exhibit by contacting Carol Wells (P.O.Box 1138, Venice.Ca 90291).The leisure committee could also put on monthly showings of peace films.All they have to do is get the Films for Peace Education Catalogue from the National Film Board (write Gordon Martin.Education Officer, P.O.Box 6100.Montreal H3C3H5or call George Lynes 515-283-4753) select the films and order them through the mail or reserve them at your local NFB distribution office.This same committee could acknowledge global peace festivities by sending a list of their dates to all households in your town and by encouraging people to mark these dates with planned activities.For more information on special activity ideas for these days contact Peace International (4069 Marcil Ave, Mont real.H4A 2Z7).Next week’s column will provide a list of these special days for 1987.Your town could organize a Radio Peace Bridge by sending taped peace greetings to Radio Moscow which will broadcast them in English all over the world.The B.C.group who initiated this project received their first reply from the mayor and city council of a small Soviet city, Puschino, 100 km south of Moscow.To get on the same wavelength, contact K.I.N.D., Kiti-mat Involvement in Nuclear Disarmament, Kitimat.BC (604-632-7039).Every town could certainly use a Community Conflict Resolution Service (357 College St.W., Second Floor, Toronto), a mediation panel for conflicts involving neighborhoods, families, businesses, and neighbors who get stuck in some dispute.The group operating in Toronto has successfully resolved 18 out of the 19 cases brought before the panel.Your town could follow the lead of Westmount City Council which published a pamphlet, “It’s Your Business” to remind its citizens of the probable effect of the explosion of a nuclear weapon near its locale and asking people to consider the issue carefully.You can write for a copy from Mayor Donald MacCallum.Westmount City Council.City

bear.In his Jan.7 column, he writes: “I’ve always taken the stand that animals are animals and people are people.By that I mean I don’t give them credit for human emotions or feelings.” In that, Lawrence is in perfect accord with some of the most learned minds of the Dark Ages.Most of us have since learned that there is not a single human emotion that animals do not feel to some degree.René Descartes suggested that since animals could not think or talk, they could not feel pain.Jeremy Bentham pointed out “The question is not, can they reason?Can they talk?But, can they suffer?” Most of us have little doubt now that animals can (and do) suffer.Gorillas and chimpanzees have been taught American Sign Language and not only talk but argue, joke and even tell lies.Most of us no longer doubt that animals can feel, learn and reason.We’re not so sure about Jim Lawrence.BERNARD EPPS Bury Thanks to Helen Evans Dear Mrs.Evans: Once more thanks for publishing my Christmas poem “Berg

matters and issues that really need talking out.I congratulate you for having them, and hope they will go on.I think that one of their best features is their constant reference to sources — organizations in the field, things to read (a lot of them to be had for the asking), places and persons and presentations that can fill in the gaps.It sort of pulls together the whole Canadian network

to survey Magog ski enthusiasts remember Jackrabbit’s legacy By Laurel Sherrer MAGOG — Before the Mount Orford ski centre opened in the late 1930s, a group of young men from the area were skiing its slopes, trails or no trails.There was no distinction between cross-country and downhill skiing for them; they would go up and down the mountain on skis, wending their way through the trees, and just as often ski around the woods and fields nearby.With no chair-lifts or warm chalets, a ski outing for these men, in their late 20s and 30s, was a far greater test of endurance than a day on the slopes in 1987.Imagine their surprise when a man in his mid-sixties came along and put them all to shame, not only conquering the mountain, but skiing the seven miles from Magog to get there and back at the end of the day.It was around the winter of 1940 that the provincial government and local businessmen got serious about developing the hill.They called in Herman Smith Johannsen to survey the trails, as he had for many of the ski hills in the Laurentians.ACTIVE TO THE END Johannsen, better known as Jackrabbit, died last week at the age of 111.Born in Norway, he started skiing at the age of two and introduced cross-country skiing to Canada at the turn of the century.An active skier almost to the end, he never missed an opportunity to promote the healthful aspect of the sport.Cree Indians he lived with early this century nicknamed him Jackrabbit for his speed on skis.Paddy McClements, 75, was one of the local skiing hotshots when Mount Orford opened, and he accompanied Johannsen on some of his excursions to the mountain.He remembers Jackrabbit as a remarkably vigorous man.“Even then I thought he was old,” says McClements.But although Johannsen may have been more than 30 years his senior, McClements had a hard time keeping up with him.‘Td be talking to him and he'd get way ahead of me,” he says.“I’d hurry like hang and get up behind him and continue talking and next thing you know he’s way ahead again.I said ‘How in the devil does he do that?”’ Jackrabbit was called in to find the best places for clearing ski trails because of his knowledge of the outdoors, says McClements.“He could look at the fall of the land, and another thing that was important, at the side of the mountain where the snow stayed the longest,” he says.“He was knowledgeable in all that.” A REAL WOODSMAN “Actually he was quite a character,” he says.“He liked things in the rough, you know ; he was a real woodsman.When the tows and all this other stuff came in, he shied away from it.” Jackrabbit would go up and down the mountain several times a day, says McClements, while the younger skiers would often have to quit early because they were exhausted.“He carried a packsack on his back and he’d have a hatchet and he’d have probably some repair thing to repair the harness on his skis,” McClements remembers.“I never knew him to pack a lunch or anything.He’d take along a package of raisins.” Harry Milne, 80, also accompanied Johannsen on some of his surveying trips.He says although he was helping chart the trails, Johann- An avid skier way beyond his 100th birthday, \orwe-

to see too much development of ski hills.“He was a conservationist,” he says.“He didn’t like all the changes they were making on the mountain.When he cut trails, he cut them narrow with lots of curves in them.” NO QUESTION OF TRAILS Johannsen was more attuned to the kind of skiing the Magog group had done before the ski hill opened.“There was a group of us and we skied wherever the snow was,” says Milne.“There was no question of trails.” Still, there was no stopping the rising popularity of the sport and of the Townships mountains as ski destinations.Mount Orford blossomed as a resort following the opening of the first trails.By Dec., 1941 there were five trails opened , the Three Creeks, Powers, Castlebrook and Club House trails and another unnamed slope for slalom skiing.The ski club, founded by Dr.Marston Adams, had 125 members.A chalet had been built that would house 50 people for the night, complete with kitchen, dining room and bar.Jacques Beauchamp-Forget, who has researched the development of the ski centres of the Townships, says, although there were many other involved, Johann-sen’s work was instrumental in starting up many ski hills throughout the province, including Orford.Rather than racing or doing tricks on skis, Johannsen wanted to promote the sport as a healthy way of living.His attitude, says Beau-champ-Forget, was always “Let’s go and see what’s on the other side of the mountain.just for the fun of it.” Beauchamp-Forget will be guest speaker at an Eastern Townships Historical Society conference Jan.20, talking about skiing in the Townships from 1887 to 1940.“He was the complete skier,” he says of Johannsen.Harry Milne examines a map from the early 1940s showing Laurentian ski trails.Walter (Paddy) McClements recalls how Jackrabbit accompanied him

Domaine St.Laurent and Bélanger Hébert are entered in one of the 13 categories while TIE Communications is a finalist in two.Domaine St.Laurent will compete against nine other companies in the employment category.The hotel was selected because it offers a wide range of outdoor recreational activities which promote health and relaxation.MANY SERVICES Bélanger Hébert is running in the

info IVIYar Number 2 In a previous column, I listed the major advantages connected with Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs).Now, we’ll deal with who iseli-gibleto contribute loan RRSP and how much.Mr.Pierre Arbour Marketing Manager Sherbrooke Trust have no income of your own.The RRSP was designed for those people with an earned income which generally means most active workers.If your income is derived solely from investments, you cannot contribute to an RRSP.And the same holds true if you However, if you have an earned income and your spouse doesn’t, it is possible for you to contribute to an RRSP in the name of your spouse.A spousal RRSPwill prove highly beneficial lateron since retirement income will then be split between the two of you thus considerably reducing the total amount of tax payable.What amount can be invested in an RRSP?There have been recent changed made to the regulations regarding RRSPs.Some of these changes pertain to the contribution limits.For 1986 and 1987, you can contribute 20% of your earned income up to $7,500, if you do not belong to a company Registered Pension Plan (RPP).If you belong to an RRP, you can contribute as before 20% of your earned income, up to $3,500.less your own contribution to the RPP.Starting in 1988, the allowable contribution limit for those not participating in an RPP will increase by $2,000 a year, until 1991, when it will reach $15,500.However, those contributions will be limited to 18% of the previous year’s earned income.The calculation of allowed contributions for those who belong to a company Registered Pension Plan will become more complex after 1988 and will be dealt with at a future time.You receive pension income?Don’t forget that, until the end of 1989, you can transfer all or part of your pension income to your RRSP.You can also contribute 20% (18% in 1988 and 1989) of your pension income, and of any other earned income, to a spousal RRSP.Carry-forward provision! At the present, if other priorities prevent you from making your annual contribution to your RRSP, you simply lose the right to make that contribution.But as of 1988, you will be allowed to carry forward your unused contributions for up to seven years.If you have any questions about your own personal situation consult your financial adviser.Copies of these columns are available at all Sherbrooke Trust branches.SHERBROOKE TRUST A subsidiary of GEIMERAL TRUST communications manufacturer, is a finalist in two separate categories.In the manufacturing division, TIE will compete against six other firms from across the province.The telecommunications company has been selected as a finalist because it uses advanced techniques to implement its workers’ development program.The second category TIE is entered in is the quality of business life.The firm has a program which involves the participation and collaboration of its employees.Five other firms are entered in the same category.The three Townships firms are among 84 finalists province-wide.Winners will be announced at Place des Arts in Montreal on Feb.13.Companies could enter in as many categories as they wished.They had to fill out a questionnaire and return it to the Quebec Chamber of Commerce before Dec.24.In previous years, other Eastern Townships companies have won Mercure awards.Dennis Wood, formerly president of Berkley Wallcoverings won a Mercure a few years ago.He says the awards help businesses gain recognition.GIVES EXPOSURE “It gives them provincial and national exposure they could not afford to get otherwise,” he said.When Berkley won its Mercure, RECORD MELANIE GRUER Dennis Wood, president of the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce stands with Nils Allaire of Bélanger Hébert, Mauric Bougie of TIE Communications and Denis Bachand of Domaine St.Laurent.The city’s mayor, Jean Paul Pelletier was also on hand at the ceremony to say a few words about the success rate of businesses in the Eastern Townships.All finalists receive the lacurto painting.Wood said it changed the company’s attitude.“It made us more aware.It gave us something to live up to.That’s important because if you’ve never been judged, you’ve never had anything to live up to.” Each finalist receives a lithograph by Quebec City painter Francesco lacurto.The scene depicts the Dufferin Promenade

ÉÜÉÉÉÉHÉ 6176 Farm and Business The RECORD—Friday.January 16, 1987—7 the1 «1____1*11 itocora Tommy the cat awaits the fate of a Prairie grain elevator REGINA (CP) — Tommy the cat lies curled up on old blanket in her usual spot on the corner of Joe Scheibel’s desk, still unaware that her habit of 14 years will end this summer when the Parrish and Heimbecker grain elevator near downtown Regina closes its doors for the last time.Scheibel, 71, plans to retire and Bid blocked for Canadian Tire Corp.By The Canadian Press Calling it an “abusive and scandalous ripoff,” regulators have blocked a $270-million bid for Canadian Tire Corp.which offered nothing to non-voting shareholders who control most of the company’s equity.In a precedent-setting move, the Ontario and Quebec securities commissions ruled Wednesday that the deal between CTC Dealer Holdings Ltd., which represents 348 of the company's 361 store dealers, and three members of the controlling Billes family is “contrary to the public interest" under securities legislation.The commissions issued a cease-trade order, which means the shares can’t move from the Billes family to the dealers.The decision, which did not include reasons, came after nine days of high-profile hearings and only hours before expiry of the dealers offer Wednesday midnight.The dealers issued a news release late Wednesday saying they are “extremely upset” by the decision and will appeal it.Commission staff and class A non-voting shareholders asked for the hearing and a cease-trade order after CTC, which already owns 17.4 per cent of common shares, offered to buy an additional 49 per cent of the company’s common voting shares at $160.24 a share.RECEIVE DEPOSIT Under the dealers’ pro rata bid, Alfred, David and Martha Billes, whose father co-founded the company in 1927, agreed to tender their 60.9-per-cent voting stake and received $30 million in a non-refundable deposit.By offering to buy less than a majority of voting shares, the dealers appeared to have skirted a so-called coat-tail provision in the company’s bylaws designed to protect class A non-voting shareholders.But the move would still have given CTC control of the countrywide retailer of auto parts and home improvement goods.Analysts say the commissions set a precedent by establishing that the spirit of bylaws protecting shareholders is paramount to the letter of the bylaws.Some analysts and spokesmen for class A shareholders applauded the intervention, saying it took courage for the commissions to intervene after hearing lawyers for the Billeses and dealers argue that the move would cause chaos in financial markets by throwing into question the interpretation of every protective provision for nonvoting stock.“In the past I’ve always thought those guys on the commission were like Milquetoast," said Stephen Ja-rislowsky, a Montreal-based investment manager who represents clients with five million non-voting shares.APPLAUDS RULING “They would never give more than a slap on the wrist but this is refreshing and a significant step in the right direction for non-voting shareholders.” In other business news Wednesday: —Observers were predicting the bank rate will sink to an almost nine-year low when the Bank of Canada sets it later today and will likely bring other interest rates down with it.The predictions came after the Canadian dollar rose to a 15-month high against the U.S.dollar.The dollar closed at 73.47 cents US.—Gold jumped $7 US an ounce but the gain was modest considering the size of the slump in the U.S.dollar, said Donald MacKen-zie, a gold trader with Deak-Perera Canada.Tommy’s fate is uncertain.The elevator will close unless another grain company buys it to use as a seed plant, said Jim As-twood, Parrish and Heimbecker’s secretary-treasurer.“We're not too interested in keeping it going because it’s not making any money for us." he said.Scheibel has worked in the eleva- tor for more than 30 years and is sad to see his part of history disappear.T know every knot in the premises," he said."There's memories here." SEEKS BUYER The elevator, on the corner of 7th Avenue and McIntyre Street, has been on the market for 12 years but no one is buying.“It’s in downtown Regina and that ’s not a good place for an elevator." Astwood said.Scheibel agrees.“We don't have the room in here anymore like we used to." he says."It’s congested.” He hopes that if the elevator is torn down, a pet shop w ill be built in its place.Parrish bought the elevator in 1943.It was on the outskirts of the city then, with the prairie starting across the road and stretching as far as the eye could see.The company milled flour and sold coal at the time.Scheibel would drive in from nearby Wil cox.where he fanned, and peddle the flour and coal around Regina in a horse-drawn wagon.In the 1950s.he became seedcleaning operator and foreman The elevator business boomed during the first five years of the 1960s when it exported certified seed grain to the United States.î: .'M Eastern Townships School Board Adult Education Services 821-9575 Popular Education Courses Winter-Spring ’87 Part-time **:>• COURSE DAYS TIME DURATION LOCATION Aerobic Fitness $10 Tuesdays or Thursdays 7-8 p.m.Jan.27-Feb.4 (5 weeks) Richmond Regional High School « i V % C % V Art $60 Mondays 7-10 p.m.Feb.23-May 11 (12 weeks) Lennoxville E.S.* * > .i Ballroom Dancing (Advanced) $20 Tuesdays 7-8 p.m.Feb.3-April 7 (10 weeks) Alexander Galt High School % « Bridge (Beginners) Advanced $60 Mondays Thursdays 7-10 p.m.7-10 p.m.Feb.2-April 6 (10 weeks) Feb.5-April 8 (10 weeks) Lennoxville E.S.Lennoxville E.S.; l Creative Writing $30 Tuesdays 1-4 p.m.Feb.3-April 7 (10 weeks) Sherbrooke E.S.»! ! 1 $ Dancercise Low-Impact Aerobics $40 Tues/Thurs Saturdays Tuesdays/ Thursdays 7- 8 p.m.9-10 a.m.8- 9 p.m.Jan.20-March 26 Jan.24-March 28 Jan.20-March 26 (10 weeks) Bishop’s U.Sports Complex Bishop’s U.Sports Complex $ m X Eastern Townships History $20 Mondays Tuesdays 7-9 p.m.7-9 p.m.Feb.2-April 6 (10 weeks) Feb.3-April 7 (10 weeks) Sherbrooke E.S.Princess Elizabeth E.S.(Magog) J % « Effectiveness Training for Women Starting Date to be Determined 1 '¦3jT> ' 1— 1 Gagnon Centre (Sherbrooke) j Microwave Cooking $45 Mondays 7-10 p.m.March 16-April 13 (5 weeks) Alexander Galt High School $ i i ; Parent Effectiveness Training* $35 Tuesdays Wednesdays 7-10 p.m.7-10 p.m.Feb.3-March 24 (8 weeks) Feb.4-March 25 (8 weeks) Gagnon Centre (Sherbrooke) Richmond Regional High School 'j \ I « * * Parents learn communication skills that are effective with children of all conflicts in a spirit of co-operation and caring.ages, from toddler to teenager.Learn how to resolve family $ * Woodworking $40 Mondays 7-9:30 p.m.Feb.2-March 24 (8 weeks) Richmond Regional High School * ¦» Introduction to IBM Software $16 Mondays Mondays/ Wednesdays Job training 7-10 p.m.Jan.26-March 30 (10 weeks) 7-10 p.m.April 6-May 4 (5 weeks) Alexander Galt High School Alexander Galt High School « % % % % % % N \ \ % Introduction to Word Processing (WORDPERFECT) $16 Tuesdays 7-10 p.m.Jan.27-March 31 (10 weeks) Alexander Galt High School • Numerically Controlled Milling and Lathe Operations $16 Thursdays 6-9 p.m.Feb.4-April 9 (10 weeks) Richmond Regional High School V * » * A *«.•* Registration • Mail the form below, along with your cheque or money order to: Adult Education Services, ETSB, 257 Queen, Lennoxville, JIM 1K7 • Or, call to register at 821-9575 (and mail fees) • Or, register in person at 257 Queen, Lennoxville, Mon.-Fri.8:30-12, 1-4 p.m.Seniors • Adults 60 years of age or over pay only $10.00 per course plus the cost of materials or food.Telephone: I » '• ; ' «* ^ 4 H 4l 4» V _ ^ 1 ' *• •* • • « ¦« », '• v •* 5 Name: flioinc) Address: V u •é *« (oHurl , *« %' *• 1 nn* in* i .i *’ Please enclose cheque qtosi.i! ttkIc) payable to E.T.S.B.“ ¦ nit III* Il M’ •< Give DDCD your AlVar RRSP GLARANTEED DEPOSITS a boost Talk to your adviser!

The Optimist Club will also sponsor an event for children in one of the Elementary Schools called "Hard to Express.” By Susan Yellin WINNIPEG (CP) — Some neglected or abused Manitoba children are being taken out of their family homes only to end up living with young offenders or in motel rooms in front of television sets.“It’s a sad state of affairs,” said Tim Maloney, executive director of the Northwest Child and Family Services Agency.“We’re forced to do things with children that are less than ideal.” Maloney blames the situation on the shortage of foster parents.Even after sending out 13,000 brochures, placing newspaper advertisements and posters on church billboards last June, the number of licensed foster homes in his area increased by only 13 to 106.“That simply is not enough,” be said in a recent interview, and as a result his agency has resorted to temporary measures that include putting some children with young offenders.Maloney said the agency has no choice because of its obligation to protect children who are threatened at home.Manitoba has some emergency facilities, including the Seven Oaks Centre for Youth, which was designed as a temporary housing and treatment area for children.But Maloney said some children at the centre have just been released from the Manitoba Youth Centre, a 150-bed detention facility for young offenders.KEEP SEPARATE “The province does try to keep the young offenders separated from the child welfare matters,” he said.“But it is true that sometimes young offenders are released from the Youth Centre and they literally just go from there to Seven Oaks.” Maloney said Seven Oaks has been home to children as young as nine, even though it was intended for teenagers.He said his agency, just one of several in Winnipeg, rang up a $28,000 bill when groups of up to 10 children at a time were sent to motels to live under the care of a ho- memaker for short periods last year.The provincial government has been asked to pay the tab.The agency has not had to use either the centres or motels since Christmas, but Maloney said it’s only a matter of time before they’re needed again.He blames a change in lifestyle on the part of prospective foster parents, a problem Maloney says isn’t confined to Winnipeg.“The shortage of foster homes is related directly to the society we live in and the fact that in most families, both the husband and wife work.“I think the community at large has to decide if they’re going to assume some of the responsibility and open their homes .or does society want to institutionalize all these children?” NOT A PROBLEM But Paul Delaney, president of the Canadian Foster Parents Association, says he hasn’t heard of a similar problem elsewhere.In a telephone interview from his home in Freetown.P.E .I., Delaney said that certainly isn’t the case in his province, where the availability of foster homes exceeds the number of young children requiring them.However, he agreed with Maloney that the national association, which has a membership of between 20,000 to 25,000 foster parents and 30,000 children, has a tough time finding homes for teenagers.“That’s because they’re much, much harder to handle than, let’s say, a 10-year-old, because the mental problems of children are now getting very, very complex.“For a foster parent to do a proper job looking after a young teenager, you almost have to be a psychologist in order to work with them.” Maloney said the situation may be different in the Atlantic provinces because of their more rural character — both parents are at home much of the time.He noted there are more foster homes available in rural Manitoba than in Winnipeg.Definitely not all auto mechanics are crooked Dear Ann Landers: You have allowed many groups to air their gripes in your column.May I speak for one that is assumed to be the most crooked?I am referring to auto mechanics.I started working in my father’s driveway 21 years ago.Today I have five locations and nearly 100 employees who sell tires and automotive service.I have built my business on the basis of good and honest work at a fair price, but youw ould be amazed how many people believe that all auto mechanics are thieves.Actually, we are like people who work in any other field.A few rotten apples can give a bad name to the whole barrel.Here are a few tips to help you choose the right garage for your repairs: 1.Ask your friends who they have had good or bad experiences with.2.Is the shop clean and orderly?Do the personnel talk and act professionally?3.Is the work guaranteed?Do they give you a complete estimate in advance?Do they give youa breakdown of all charges and parts used?4.Most states have consumer protection laws.Find out what they are.5.Compare prices, but find out what the prices include.A big dif fe rence in price is usually due to a big difference in parts or services.The classic ripoff is a "brake job." My mechanics must attend classes and seminars to keep up with what is new in the industry.Doesn’t it stand tor eason that my mechanic would know' more than “Albert” down at the office?So often I hear, “He knows a lot about cars and he said.” Ann Landers Also, keep track of your receipts.It is not my responsibility to find them for you.Above all.don’t get angry with me when my estimate is more than you would like it to be.Your car will not heal itself, it must be repaired.I will not compromise your safety and my reputation by doing the job half right.— An Honest Mechanic Dear H.M.: A great letter.My repair mechanic, Marion Jelks, at Village Cadillac, doesn’t need to read it.but a lot of others do.Thanks for writing.Dear Ann Landers: Recently a young child in our city was beaten to death by her stepfather.The rea-son: She wet her pants.The youngster was 23 months old.There is a message here that needs to be screamed from the rooftops: MOST CHILDREN ARE NOT READY TO USE THE BATHROOM UNTIL THEY ARE ALMOST 3 YEARS OLD.Some later.girls earlier than boys.When they are ready, they wili do it by themselves.There need be little "training" involved.You will hear countless stories claiming little Susie trained at I year.She probably did.but most children don’t.It has nothing to do with intelligence.This subject is the source of much needless anger and frustration for all concerned.— A Mother Dear Mother: Pediatricians agree that children will learn on their own eventually but many mothers prefer to accomplish this sensibly without rigid training by the time they are 2 or older, which is perfectly OK, according to Dr.Jay Arena, that great Duke University pediatrician in Durham, N.C.Dear Ann Landers : This appeared in 1974 and it’s too good to keep in cold storage for 12 more years.Please run it again.— Oakland, Calif.Dear Ann Landers: A letter that appeared in your column a few days ago could have been written by me — same number of children, married same number of years, and alas, the same problem.To outsiders we appeared to have the perfect marriage.It was ideal, except when it came to sex.I avoided it when I could and tolerated it when I had to.The inevitable happened.Some little tramp in “Tom’s" office threw herself at him.They day he told me I didn’t have to be bothered with sex any longer because he had a good substitute, I nearly died.I went to my doctor and asked for his help.He recommended that I “psych myself out” and suggested two books that 10 years ago would have been banned as hard-core pornography.Well, Ann, his advice saved my marriage.I decided to be the aggressor, something I had never done before.Then I put into practice what I had read in those books My husband was amazed.And so was I.For the first time I enjoyed sex.We have developed a marvelous bedroom relationship and the tramp is nowhere in sight.I now know' I was frigid because I was ignorant (and puritanical), but all that is over now and I am happier today than I have been in my entire life.Please print this letter if you think it will help someone else, Ann.— Enlightened Wife Dear Wife : I do and I will.Here it is.Dear Ann Landers: We all remember the terrific send-off you gave the Ronald McDonald House when we first started.We are now opening our 100th House at Long Island Jewish Hospital Medical Center.We hope you will help us again by printing this letter.It tells the story beautifully — One Who Knows Dear One: Here’s the letter.Your wonderful program deserves a 21-gun salute.What a port in the storm.Dear Ann Landers: Thirteen years ago our daughter was diagnosed with leukemia.When she was hospitalized we had no place nearby to stay.We slept on chairs, sofas and in windowsills of the hospital.After Kim recovered we worked with people in Philadelphia to make sure this didn’t happen to other parents.The First Ronald McDonald House opened in 1974.Now, thanks to local McDonald’s restaurant owners, concerned doctors, nurses, involved parents and volunteers, we opened our 100th house this fall.— Fred and Fran Hill.DANCE Lennoxville Rifle Club Saturday, January 17 “The Old Tyme 4 Orchestra" Everyone Welcome DANCE SALLE VEILLEUX

agency intervenes in case BRANTFORD, Ont.(CP) — Nelson Glew gets around the country — so to speak — without leaving home.Glew, 51, has ridden 6,197 kilometres on his stationary bicycle the last three years.He figures that’s the equivalent of a jaunt across Canada and the reason he’s still living.It was no mean feat for a man who has had triple-bypass heart surgery, multiple heart attacks — he was declared legally dead with one of them — diabetes and a liver condition.A slender, bright-eyed man with the nickname Sticky, Glew says he still has good and bad days, but the goal of traversing the country from home has kept him going through tough times of depression and ill health.“I knew I needed to exercise, but there was no incentive, no push,” he says.“Having a goal kept me going.I looked forward to the next day once I got going; then when I was half way, nothing was going to stop me.” The way he calculates it, he completed the final kilometre of his east-west journey — into Victoria — on Christmas Day.The idea for the Canadian ride was a family brainstorm.His sons, Terry and Larry, came up with the idea and Terry got his father started.Glew’s brother and wife, Mike and Giesla, drew a map of Canada on which the mileage could be logged.WIFE HELPS Glew’s wife, Marie, provided moral support and egged him on.“My wife has been No.l,” he says.“She’s stuck beside me all the way through this.Since my first heart attack when I was 38, she has been through just as much as I have.” The log is shown to his doctor during his weekly visits and often is a source of amazement to both Dr.R.G.Farley and Dr.John Cairns, the latter a Hamilton cardiologist who became Clew’s heart specialist and surgeon.“Dr.Cairns tells me this is unbelievable for a person who has been through what I’ve been through,” says Glew.“Last time I was down to see him, he told me, You know.Nelson, this will help me with people in the future.You’re an inspiration.' “That made me feel good, knowing maybe I could help someone else by example.“When I told him I was almost finished the trip, he said.Don’t come back by train, boat or plane.I want you to get back the way you went out — riding.’” Glew had his first heart attack in 1970 while he was coaching a midget hockey game in nearby St.George.That was followed by a series of attacks until, in late 1977, Cairns and the team of heart specialists in Hamilton decided triple bypass surgery was his only chance.He was told he had the arteries of an 80-year-old and would live about six months without surgery.Even with the surgery, his chances were limited.His operation was Jan.6, 1978.After a few months, he went back to work half days.QUIT JOB When he had another heart attack in 1980.he was forcèd to quit his job after 24 years.His third major bout with heart disease was in 1982 when he suffered congestive heart failure.After being transferred to Hamilton, his heart stopped long enough for him to be legally dead, but efforts to resuscitate him were successful.He spent 1983 recovering from the damage to his body, then decided he had to help himself somehow.Thus began his biking adventure in early 1984.That was also the year he was diagnosed as having diabetes.His next year was good until November, when he was taken to hospital with an enlarged liver and a mild heart attack.Despite the setbacks, he had managed by the end of 1985 to bike as far as Medicine Hat, Alta.After recovering from liver trouble, Glew made the final push last year, completing the 1.450 kilometres needed to reach Victoria.What’s his next goal?His family suggests he continue around the world, or head back east circling the United States.He’ll have to think about it.How Calgarians want to be law enforcers — and other little tidbits CALGARY (CP) — Calgarians are beating down the door to a citizens’ “police academy.” The academy was established last fall to give city residents a taste of what life is like as a street pplice officer.Civilians showed up in droves to learn the ropes in vice, traffic, crime solving and other areas of police work.The first class graduated in December, and “we have about 260 people on a waiting list at the moment,” said Const.Terry Dick, organizer of the academy.“It’s a good P.R.move because it gives the community a better understanding of what the police are trying to do,” added Ray McLa-ehlan, 68, a graduate of the class.TORONTO(CP)-The Canadian Paraplegic Association plans to study mass transit systems across Canada to explore how services for able and disabled riders can be integrated.The study, to be completed by the end of the year, will be given to governments and industry as a research and planning tool.“We hope to convince the decision-makers that integration is not only possible, technically and financially, but also that it will save the taxpaying public a good deal of money in the long termsaid association spokesman Peter Ber-nauer.The federal government is contributing

spending more time watching television in one day than they do on homework in one week.That’s one of the findings of an unpublished Ontario government study that looks at Canadian math instruction in a global framework.While Americans are near the back of the global class, the top five per cent of Ontario’s Grade 13 math students compare with the cream of other countries, the study suggests.“Only the Japanese stand out,” said Prof.Les McLean, who coordinated Ontario’s participation in the project.Japanese math students led virtually every category dealing with final-year high school students.In general, Ontario and British Columbia Grade 8 and final-year students are in the middle of the comparison tables among 21 countries involved in the study.ERABLIERE DOYON Come enjoy
