MURDOCH VILLE (CP) — For several hours Thursday, people here lived a mining town's nightmare.then heaved a sigh of relief as all but one of 53 miners trapped 800 metres below' by a fire were brought out alive.They shared the grief of Ma-donne Gagnon, whose husband Ange-Marie Kenney, 36, was the only victim of the fire which erupted at the dinner hour Wednesday while shifts were changing in a new section of Gaspé Copper Mines.The survivors were found Thursday in three groups.But it was nightfall before the last few were brought to the surface.None of the 52 was injured seriously.Company officials said they didn't know what caused the fire, but there was a report that an elec trical pylon had fallen onto a conveyer belt.People reported hearing explosions before the fire started.As the ordeal neared an end, this town of 2,500 in the Gaspé Peninsula 700 kilometres northeast of Quebec City discovered the miners were doubly lucky to be alive.When the cry of fire went up Wednesday, some of them had kept on working, convinced the warning was an April Fool's joke.Another 27 had to wrait a lot longer.They remained below until late in the afternoon, waiting for the fire to die so rescuers could get them out.The miners had saved themselves by fleeing to the nearest lun-chroom.All lunchrooms in this part of the mine have sealed doors and separate ventilation.Kenney, an eight-year veteran of Gaspé Copper, was trapped by smoke.“Mr.Kenney was coming down into the mine by (three-tonne) truck when he hit thick smoke,” said operations manager Michel Lefebvre.“The smoke moved up so rapidly they didn’t have time to turn the truck around.” Kenney was with his brother.Jean-Paul Kenney w'as close to a hose pumping compressed air into his face, and that’s what saved him.The fire filled over 120 kilometres of tunnel with thick, acrid smoke as the fire burned up over 1,800 metres of conveyer belt.A smell of burning rubber permeated the air around the mine all day.as many of the residents of this one industry town gathered outside the gates at Gaspé Copper, a division of Noranda Inc.of Toronto.Then they were told to go to a local auditorium and await news.The mine has high ceilings, and the long tunnels look like underground expressways.The lunchrooms are carved right into the ‘We thought it was an April Fool’s joke’ By Gary Rcgenstreif MURDOCHVILLE, Que.(CPi-Workers trapped in a mine below this Gaspé town thought warnings of a fire were an April Fool s joke.But survivor Gilles Mercier, a 33-year-old solderer, spent a harro wing 12 hours underground with four colleagues worried that fire and smoke would take their lives.“They phoned us in the (lunchroom) kitchen and told us there was a fire, but we thought it was an April Fool’s joke,” said Mercier, one of a half-dozen miners in the first group to be freed by rescue workers at 6 a m.Thursday.“We smelled a gas like rotten eggs.It’s a warning of fire.” The miners sealed the doors with their clothes and paper to keep tire and smoke out.Communications with the surface were interrupted periodically because telephone lines in the mine were often jammed.Mercier said.“People were worried about the smoke getting closer.” said Merrier, visibly shaken, sipping coffee.“The tensions were high.” Shortly after midnight Thursday.rescue workers left Jean-Paul Kenney, the injured brother of Ange-Marie Kenney, who died, in the safe room in which they sought shelter.Jean-Paul’s eyes were swollen and bandaged."We didn't talk much, it was pretty sad.” Mercier said his group walked for about 45 minutes to the mouth of the mine, up a huge tunnel resembling an underground expressway with cathedral-high ceilings.The lunchroom where the other miners sought safety was carved from the rock and has several wooden tables and benches and can seat 50 people.“We were glad to see the light of ¦day.” Mercier said.“If I can find another job, I wouldn’t go back tomorrow.” The incident was not over for others.T couldn’t believe it.” said Madeline Gagnon.33.who w’as told by a local priest that her husband.Ange Marie Kenney, died in the mine.”1 couldn’t believe it.” She said the 36-year-old driller was never afraid of working underground even though he had been in two previous accidents in the eight years he worked in the same mine.Once he was caught in an explosion and another time he was overcome by fumes.“He loved to work, he always loved his work, " Gagnon said as her voice cracked with emotion.“He hated being without work even for two weeks.” Kenney had two sons — Johnny.13.and Joe.11.But Gagnon, a housewife, said she was always too worried about the dangers to ever go underground herself."He would never take me down because I was too nervous.I never saw it (the mine).” She said she didn't blame the mine owners.Noranda Inc., for the accidents.“They did more than the maximum” to ensure safety, she said “But you can never know what the dangers are.” rock and can hold up to 50 people each.It was the first major accident at the mine, parts of which date back to 1953.Damage from the 18-hour fire w'as estimated at over $8 million.“I’ve heard there were a few explosion-type events before the fire,” said Lefebvre.Lila Smith, whose husband retired from the mine in December after 27 years, said the dishes in her home were rattled by blasting in the mine, which runs right under the town “There was a blast at about 6:30 or 7 p.m.last night and my husband found that strange because they usually blast about 10 a.m, or 2:30 p.m.” she said in a telephone interview7.Jean-Eudes Boisonnault.a heavy machinery mechanic who was brought up late Thursday with another 10 miners, said none had panicked when they realized they were trapped.“We were in the lunchroom and we opened up the air and just stayed there." he said, as tears streamed from his red eyes."We saw' the smoke and stayed there.” Telephone circuits to Murdoch-ville w'ere overloaded by relatives phoning for information about loved ones Provincial police in Rimouski said they weren't informed of the fire until 1 a.m.Thursday.Company officials in Toronto and Montreal said that people at the mine were probably too busy trying to cope with the emergency during the early hours to inform the media.Mercier said the miners smelled a gas like rotten eggs, which alerted them to the fire.They fled to the lunchrooms, sealing the doors with paper and pieces of clothing.Aside from his brother Jean-Paul who was treated in hospital for smoke inhalation.Ange-Marie Kenney also had a cousin.Jean De-roy.working at the mine.“We don t think as miners what could happen." said Deroy.“It makes us think a bit now." Talks are continuing.Canada says that if the U.S.doesn't move soon, it w ill refer the dispute to the International Court of Justice for arbitration.TRADE Talks appear to be proceeding well toward the October deadline for getting a draft deal to Congress.Both leaders are expected to proclaim their commitment to a freer trade agreement and Reagan will probably promise to do all he can to marshall a deal through Congress.It’s unlikely, however, that either leader will deal in any depth with contentious issues on the bargaining table.They'll leave that to the negotiators.Canada and the United States fought some bitter trade disputes since the two leaders met last year, including the lumber battle, the U.S.tariff on shakes and shingles and the Canadian tariff on U.S corn.Other potential battles loom concerning Canadian potash and steel and U.S.protectionist legisla tion.The two leaders are expected to discuss past disputes and preview future ones.ACID RAIN Canada considered it a major victory when Washington agreed to implement recommendations in the report from the two countries’ envoys on acid rain Subsequent statements from the White House made it clear Reagan was willing only to consider research programs into how to burn coal and produce fewer sulphur emissions Ottawa has been taking a progressively tougher stand on the issue.saying its goal is to persuade the U.S.to cut actual emissions by 50 per cent by 1994.Mulroney welcomed Reagan s announcement earlier this month that he would ask Congress to start, next year, spending $2.5 billion over five years to demonstrate American clean-coal technology.But critics say Reagan has only promised to do next year what he already promised to do last year, and that Mulroney's guarded approval has been a diplomatic way of saying reiteration of an old promise is better than withdrawing it Although acid rain is still high on the summit agenda, government officials concede no further Ameri can action is likely until the effects of the pollution become more ob vious within the United States.Flood sent ice blocks sailing through town FREDERICTON (CP) — Nearly 2,000 New Brunswickers fled their homes along the St.John River Thursday as ice jams sent the water through streets and into basements.There have been no reports of injuries.The largest river in the Maritimes w'as at its devastating worst in Perth-Andover, about 130 kilometres north of Fredericton.It swept away the town's railway whether the cars were leaking.bridge, sent blocks of ice coursing down the main sfreeet, smashed a hole through the middle of an apar tment building and forced 350 fa milies to flee their homes.Many evacuated families were spending the night in evacuation centres set up in schools or lodge halls in surrounding communities., Others were staying at motels or with relatives.The flooding was caused by heavy rains falling on a higher-than-normal snow cover.Similar floods occurred across the border in Maine and in the Beauce area of Quebec.The floods hit Quebec on Wednesday and by Thursday it was all over.Maine, which shares the St.John River with New Brunswick, was still having problems.The 290-metre-long railway bridge spanning the the river at Perth-Andover tumbling into the river, where it drifted downstream and pushed against the highway bridge linking the town’s two sections — Perth and Andover.PLAN BACKFIRES CP Rail had attempted to coun terbalance the ice-jam's pressure on the bridge by parking 17 railway cars on the span.The plan backfi red and the cars plunged into the icy water.All that could be seen was the tip of one car.Thirteen of the cars were filled with granular, water-soluble fertilizer chemicals that could be toxic to fish.But environment officials said dilution in the swollen river would prevent the chemicals from hurting drinking water.The chemicals included ammonium sulphate.diammonium phosphate and potash — none of which are toxic enough to be considered dangerous to humans.B.C.Scott, a spokesman for CP Rail, said it was not known Reaching five metres above its normal levels, the river sent large chunks of ice coursing down Perth-Andover's main street.Then it receded, leaving ice islands standing on the road.Perth-Andover is actually one town of 1,900 residents made up of two villages on either side of the river that amalgamated several years ago.All of Perth and at least half of Andover were evacuated.So were the local hospital and a nursing home.A downtown Andover apartment building was cut in two, apparently when an ice block bowled through it.The ice wrecked a resident’s small airplane, tearing off a wing.COULDN’T BELIEVE IT “I just couldn't believe it,” exclaimed Darlene Tattersall of An dover.“I’ll tell you how fast it was coining up .I went out and it was coming in on the road.Within half an hour it was coming in on our lawn.” The water filled her basement but fortunately didn't reach the first floor.But her mother’s house wasn’t so lucky.She said fuel oil mixed with the floodwater as oil tanks upset.In Quebec, the Chaudière River was the culprit.Hundreds of Beauce area residents were at work Thursday, pumping water from basements and assessing the damage.Highway traffic was practically back to normal, a! though some streets were still closed in downtown Ste-Marie-de Beauce.where 450 families had been evacuated on Wednesday.Mayor Pierre-Maurice Vachon asked the province to declare the Beauce a disaster area.CP Rail was, coincidentally, one of the chief flood victims The railway lost one bridge and part of another in New Brunswick, one in Quebec and one in Maine.Duchess’ jewels fetch $36.7 million Canadian GENEVA (AP) — The late Duchess of Windsor’s most prized jewels fetched the equivalent of $36.7 million Cdn on the opening night of a two-day auction Thursday, more than three-times the known record paid for any single collection The highest price, the equivalent of $3.8 million was paid for a 31-carat diamond ring.Tokyo diamond dealer Tsuneo Takagi said he will keep the ring for his own display and not resell it.Ninety-five top lots were offered on the first evening of the sale of mementos that recall the celebrated romance between Wallis War-field Simpson and King Edward VHI who gave up the British throne 50 years ago to marry the twice-divorced U.S.commoner.Honoring the Duchess’ will, proceeds of the sale will goto the Pasteur Institute in Paris, which has recently been in the forefront of the fight against AIDS.The money is to go toward building at least one laboratory for research on retroviruses.cancer and AIDS, the auctioneer announced before bids began A ruby and diamond necklace, a 40th birthday present from the Duke in 1936 one year before they were married, went for the equivalent of $3.2 million to an anonymous phone bidder. 2—The RECORD—Friday, April 3, 1987 Reagan road show means no TV for Inuit children Capital Notebook By Vic Parsons The Canadian Press That’s just about the time that the American president will be concluding his speech to a joint session of Parliament near the end of his 24-hour visit to Ottawa.CBC has special coverage of the visit planned between 2 and 3:30 p.m., so it's bye-bye to Takuginai.The first show now will be on Tuesday.Debbie Brisebois, a spokesman for the Inuit Broadcasting Corp., says that she expected something like this would happen “We don’t have any power over these decisions,” she says."We take what we can get.” She says it’s unfortunate because many teachers in the Northwest Territories, Northern Quebec and Labrador had been planning their lessons for the day around the program.Now they’ll just get a lesson in politics.There were other lessons to be learned from the early runup to the Reagan visit.For example, who has the edge when it comes to media influence.While Ottawa-based journalists were running into roadblocks trying to find out what the program was for the Reagan visit, it came to light that some of the American media — the big networks and a representative of still photographers — had been given an advance peep at the event two weeks earlier.It wasn’t learned by the Canadians until last week that Reagan is to address Parliament on Monday.And then, the prime minister's office wouldn’t reveal the time, suggesting that all available bodies were too busy with the constitutional conference on aboriginal self-government to pay attention to the president’s trip.Last Monday it came out that Reagan is to speak to Parliament at 2:32 p.m.At least some of our American cousins already knew that.The Senate is considering a resolution, as the president’s visit nears, to have July 2 and 3 this year declared “Canada-United States Days of Peace and Friendship.” The resolution was already approved by the Commons in recognition of “the close and peaceful relations that exist between the two countries, the warm personal links that prevail between neighboring communities along the length of the common border and the commitments to freedom, democracy and human rights shared by the two nations.” The two days were chosen because they fall between the two national holidays.External Affairs Minister Joe Clark raised a few eyebrows in the Commons recently when he gave what seemed like a matrimonial response to a question from Saskatchewan New Democrat Les Benjamin.Benjamin wanted assurance from Clark that the wheat board and marketing boards would not be part of freer-trade talks.“I can, I will, I do,” Clark replied, tersely but with a smile.As someone shouted “The odd couple,’’ Benjamin said he was glad Clark’s answer was not a marriage proposal.The minister had a rebuff of his own."1 know something about NDP marriage proposals and we have no interest in them at all,” he said, somewhat cryptically.Vanity, thy name is politics.Because the National Press Theatre, equipped with all manner of doodads to make news conferences easy, was not large enough to sit all six of the Commons day-care committee members atone table, the location was changed on the eleventh hour.Instead, the MPs made public their report early in the week in the Railway Committee Room of the Centre Block.The room is a fine one for receptions and the like, but when it comes to jam-packed meetings, it falls well short of perfecion.The result was a mess of technical problems, unheard and unanswered questions and downright disorganization.To top it off, not all of the committee members sat at the table.LiberalLucie Pepin opted to sit with her leader, John Turner, before she held her own news conference on the report.A government official, asked about the decision to change the venue of the news conference, said the decision to have all six MPs, four Tories and one each from the Liberals and NDP, front and centre at the same table was “a bit of an emotional thing.” OTTAWA (CP) — The Ronald Reagan road show is going to temporarily derail the first television program aimed especially at Inuit kids.The inaugural program of Takuginai, which features Inuit legends, songs, games and traditional crafts in Inuktitut, was to be shown Monday.But it wras scheduled to be distributed on the CBC Northern Service at 3 p.m.MPs express condolences for Gaspé miner’s widow OTTAWA (CP) — MPs from all three parties expressed condolences Thursday for the family of Marie-Ange Kenney, killed after a fire broke out at the Gaspé Copper Mine in Murdochville.And Energy Minister Marcel Masse told the Commons the federal government is willing to help in any way possible follow ing the fire.“We shall meet any request made to us,” Masse told MPs.Deputy Prime Minister Don Ma-zankowski, Liberal leader John Turner and New Democrat MP Bill Blaikie expressed sympathies to Kenney’s family on behalf of their parties.Turner urged the government to do everything it can to help the families of the dead and injured miners, while Blaikie said his party would quickly support any action the government might take.Forty-six miners were trapped by the overnight fire that enveloped a shaft at the mine, 700 kilometres east of Quebec City.— fag-l KBCOrCI George

Dave Blaikie OTTAWA (CP) — The Canadian Labor Congress has taken the first formal step toward unionizing the country’s 5,000 rural route mail couriers.The congress advised the Canada Labor Relations Board this week it has signed up more than the minimum 35 per cent of couriers needed to initiate a national vote on the issue.More than half of the couriers must vote in favor of a union before legal certification could be granted But even if they agree they want a union, it remains doubtful whether they will be able to establish one because Canada Post regards them as private contractors rather than employees.A separate case has been lodged with the board to determine w hich label should apply.A ruling could come down sometime this month.If the board accepts Canada Post’s position that the couriers are contractors rather than employees, the union drive could become academic.But if it agrees with the couriers that they work under so many restrictions and regulations they cannot be considered contractors, the door would be open to form a union.Jean-Jacques Jauniaux.the congress official in charge of the organizing drive, says the fight w ill probably continue in the courts if the couriers fail to win recognition as employees.The couriers, who deliver mail along country roads, are upset at Canada Post for putting their contracts up to open tender in its campaign to cut mail delivery costs.Many mail contracts have been held by the same individuals or families for decades.In the past their contracts have always been renewed automatically as long as they accepted terms handed down by Canada Post.Bidding was used mainly to resolve di-sutes.The Association of Rural Route Mail Couriers of Canada says open tendering is a good idea in theory but in practice it will pit neighbor against neighbor, bring in outsiders unfamiliar with rural areas and push already low pay rates even lower.DISPUTE FIGURES The group says most couriers average about $3 a hour after paying car and back-up-driver expenses.Canada Post questions their arithmetic and counters that open tendering is the only fair way to deal with the contracts.Previously, contracts were awarded only to individuals who lived in areas served.The new rules, effective April 1.allow outsiders to bid.Meanwhile, the government has rejected a Commons committee recommendation seeking a veto for local residents over any plans by Canada Post to close or privatize rural post offices.However.Harvie Andre, the minister responsible for Canada Post, has renewed a pledge to give rural communities 90 days notice of any proposed changes and to let local MPs participate fully in consultations with residents.Communities where postmasters retire will be the first to be reviewed by Canada Post for service changes but this “should not be interpreted as implying automatic closures,” Andre said in a letter Wednesday to Felix Hol-tmann.Tory chairman of the allparty committee.Holtmann said Thursday he is satisfied with Andre’s response because it accepts the spirit, if not the letter, of the committee's recommendations.Legally, it would probably be impossible give local residents a veto over rural mail service changes, he added.Cyril Keeper, New Democrat postal critic, saw it otherwise.He accused Andre of ignoring the concerns of rural Canadians and forecast that the Tories will “continue to pay a price politically for their treatment of rural Canada.” Charest: Unemployed Toronto youths can expect less By Kathryn Young OTTAWA (CP) — Students looking for jobs in the Toronto area this summer can expect a 28-per-cent cut in financial help from the federal government, Youth Minister Jean Charest said Thursday.Youth unemployment in Toronto fell to 6.8 per cent in February 1986, from 10.1 per cent the year before, while rates have risen in other parts of the country.“Common sense would tell us that you don’t put as much money into Metro Toronto where last summer there were not enough young people for all the jobs that were open,” Charest told reporters.The Summer Employment Experience Development program, better known as the SEED program, will receive the same amount of funding this summer as last summer.But the $127 million will be divided differently.More money will go to the Atlantic provinces and British Columbia while central Canada will receive less because a booming economy in the region has created most of the new jobs in Canada, he said.Youth unemployment in Halifax was 14.8 per cent in February compared with 13.8 per cent a year before.In Vancouver the rate was 23.1 per cent compared with 17.4 per cent in February 1986.LACK PROGRAMS “We want to be sensitive to problems of the regions,” Charest said.“That's what the opposition parties have been pointing to in the House.We do not have enough programs that are regionally sensitive.’’ The minister came under fire on Thursday from a group that wants all the SEED money allocated to non-profit and public organizations to provide summer jobs for students.The government opened the program two years ago to include companies in the private sector.Roger Hollander, national coordinator of the Save Our Summer Coalition, said funding for the pri- vate sector has risen to one-third of the total since 1985, cutting into money that would otherwise go to non-profit groups.He brought about 50 young students from working-class areas of Montreal and Toronto to Parliament Hill on Thursday to let MPs know' they won’t be able to go to day camps this summer because the camps can t get enough funding under the SEED program to hire enough student counsellors.Hollander estimated that about half of the thousands of non-profit agencies affected by the cutbacks had to close down entirely or reduce their services drastically.BRAVE STORM Liberal MP Gilles Grondin, Liberal Senator Jacques Hebert and New' Democrat MP Howard McCurdy braved a snowstorm to speak to the group on the steps of the Parliament Buildings, pledging their support for the coalition.“I’m with you,” shouted McCurdy."We’re going to put an end to this charade about caring for youth.” But Charest, who declined an invitation to attend the demonstration, said he won’t change his mind about allowing private sector companies into the program.He said he offered to do a study of day camp needs and allocate a specific amount of money to the groups in the coalition, but Hollander turned him down.However Hollander said the deal specified that the groups would gradually be weaned from government money, “All of his offers have been conditional on our accepting reduced funding,” he said.He declined the day care study because the coalition also includes senior citizen groups, youth and women’s groups, legal aid clinics and other social groups.“It wouldn't be fair to the other groups to single out the day camps because what they do is just as important,” said Hollander.Charest said the door is still open if Hollander wants to make a deal.Premier Bourassa steals wind from PQ sails By Gary Regenstreif QUEBEC (CP) — The joke goes like this: Premier Robert Bourassa is standing before three doors.Each represents a possible change to the contentious section of Quebec’s language law banning the use of English on public signs.There is the sound of roaring lions from behind the first door.Tortured wailing emanates from the second.Murmurs come from the third, and the premier peers in.What he sees are people standing up to their noses in water, pleading: “Don’t make waves.Don’t make waves.” Reporters and political aides, chuckling at a recent Liberal caucus meeting, said Bourassa opened door No.3 when he announced that the Liberals were going to honor a 1985 campaign promise and change the French-only language lawr to allow English on signs.But the changes, opposed by Quebec nationalists and many opinion-makers, may be a long time in coming.Bourassa apparently doesn't want to move until he feels he has a consensus of sorts.Thus, nothing may be done before the fall at the earliest.SMOOTH SAILING Some 16 months after the Liberal landslide victory, the premier’s ability to steer clear of waves has prolonged his honeymoon with the Quebec electorate.The latest polls indicate the Liberals are even more popular than they were in the December 1985 election.Bourassa's performance, political insiders say, has much to do with his desire not to repeat the mistakes he committed during his previous term as premier, which ended in disgrace in 1976 after six years in power.Nowadays, Bourassa is a lot less in the public eye and that reduces the risk of him “slipping on banana peels,” says one aide.While his Ontario counterpart, David Peterson, is quick to meet reporters and political opponents head-on, Bourassa rarely steps into the lion’s den where reporters lurk near the legislature chamber.Instead, he leaves through a side door.And he lets ministers fend for themselves in the national assembly when they come under attack by the PQ Opposition.HOLDS REINS While his low profile has earned him the title of “the invisible premier,” Bourassa is described by aides as “meticulous and assiduous," keeping a tight rein on decision-making.With the language issue on hold, contracts settled with public-sector workers and the promise of no tax increases in the next budget, the PQ's only recourse has been to question the government's integrity with what it says are examples of patronage and wrongdoing.The PQ, greatly outnumbered in the legislature and divided over policy, has seemed desperate for scandal to pin on the Liberals and has dug deep into the past.The PQ recently distributed a photocopy of a cheque for $100,000 it described as a contribution to Liberal party coffers in return for a $17.8-million contract awarded -without tender by Bourassa’s government.The cheque was dated in 1975.RECALLS SCANDALS Bourassa is doing his utmost to dispel any whiff of wrongdoing by those around him.He’s well aware of how allegations of scandal led to the downfall of his last government.Tourism Minister Yvon Picotte was made to pay the bill for taking seven friends on a government air- By Marlene Orton OTTAWA (CP) — Treasury Board President Robert de Cotret said Thursday that cabinet has not decided the site of the coveted space agency despite a published report saying the prime minister has settled on Ottawa as its headquarters.De Cotret, however, did not deny a report in the Toronto Star on Thursday that Prime Minister Brian Mulroney has already been persuaded to locate the agency in Ottawa rather than Montreal.“You’ll haveto ask the prime minister whether he has made up his mind or not.” he said outside the craft for a fishing trip last July.That happened after a reporter questioned the minister’s use of a government plane.“In the early ’70s, my reaction would have been to say these accusations are not serious and we won’t deal with them,” Bourassa said in an interview.“But now, seeing that they could be interpreted wrongly and could be exploited, my instructions are to show what they really are as much as possible .to let the air out of the (PQ’s) balloons.” So far, Bourassa appears to have been doing just that—deflating the Opposition.Commons.“ All I can tell you is no decision has been made as of yet.” Municipal officials from both cities met de Cotret early Thursday in a final lobby effort in advance of a meeting of cabinet's priorities and planning committee at Meech Lake, Que.But de Cotret said afterward there still has been no decision.“It’s going to be soon.I can’t give you the date.I can’t say whether it’s going to be next week, the following week or next month.” Mulroney did not respond when a reporter at Meech Lake asked whether he had decided on a location for the space agency.Montreal could still get space agency: De Cotret Weather Occasional rain mixed with snow'

weighed down by a name that sounds like an engineering firm, staffers at the social services clinic on Queen St.are doing their best to let local anglophones know they’re there to help.While director Jacques Lacroix admits the name — CLSC Gaston Lessard — is a jumble of letters that means next to nothing to most English-speaking Townshippers, he and his staff are trying their best to make themselves a household word.When it opened just over a year ago, the CLSC (Centre locale des services communautaires) had a big job cut out for its employees, says Lacroix.They not only had to prove to locals that they weren’t just another useless government bureaucracy.They also had to prove they could speak English.CLSCs were created by the provincial government to provide for consistent and locally-based health and social needs that hospitals can't provide.When the clinic opened in 1985, much of that was being done by the community health department and other little groups.The goal, says Lacroix, is to help people help themselves.MORE ACCESSIBLE He said CLSCs make services more accessible.There’s one number to call, and they can refer people to the right service if it’s not offered there.For instance, a battered wife who calls will be handed over to a CLSC social worker that day.If she wants to leave her husband, then the CLSC will make arrangements for her to stay at L’Escale, a temporary centre for battered women and their children.During this time, the family is assigned to a social worker.Gaston Lessard in Lennoxville was set up specifically to serve the English-speaking community in the area, and every effort is made not only to hire English-speaking staff, but to make sure print information, such as birth control pamphlets, is available in English too.Lacroix said that one of the main goals of the CLSC is to keep people living in their own homes and out of hospitals and nursing homes as long as possible.Almost 43 per cent of their budget goes to sending therapists, social workers, or just someone to keep an older person company.COSTS LESS Not only do elderly people like to live at home as long as they can, but head of the Queen St.CLSC Bernard Houle said it also costs less than institutionalizing people.Houle says while a stay at the hospital can cost the government $300 a day, sending a nurse to someone’s home to change dressings costs just $32.The service also helps people who temporarily need help because of an accident, as Lennoxville resident Winnifred Jellicoe found out.After a serious car accident, Jellicoe was able to recuperate part of the time at home thanks to nurses from the CLSC, who came each day to change her bandages.Houle said that in the past, a woman like her would may not have recieved those visits because patients could only get home nursing if their doctor initiated a request.Now, anyone who can’t come could receive care if they really need it.CLSC Gaston Lessard is holding its first annual general meeting Chairman of the CLSC’s board of directors Georges Allard and director Jacques Lacroix: reaching out to the English community.this Saturday.Everyone is welcome to come and ask questions, voice criticism, and find out what’s in it for them.For more information, call the CLSC anytime at (819) 566-1134.There are alternatives for battered wives: Don’t stick around Dear Ann Landers: This is for

fun, like their bodies CHICAGO (AP) — Women who are obese “are more eager to date, more eager to mate” than those who are obsessed with staying thin, says a researcher.Dr.Domeena Renshaw, director of Loyola University’s Sexual Dysfunction Clinic, said she found 121 of the 1.100 women who were treated at the clinic for sexual disorders during the last 15 years also suffered from eating disorders.Of that total, she said.111 had problems with obesity, while eight suffered from bulimia and two from anorexia nervosa.‘‘The obese women were more eager to date, more eager to mate,” she said.‘‘More of them made peace with their bodies.” But the women with severe weight-loss disorders were so concerned with their bodies that they had fewer sexual fantasies, fewer dates and less desire for sex.she said.None of the bulimic women or anorexic women in the group of 121 had children, while only seven of DANCE ARMY-NAVY-AIR FORCE VETERANS UNIT 318 Saturday, April 4th Music by: Ramblin Fever Members

can look forward to more salmon in three or four years ___;__rein _ Great outdoors There was an increase of 29 per cent in the number of salmon caught in Quebec for 1986 says the annual report on salmon sport fishing.Last year 17,695 salmon were caught compared with 13,767 in 1985.Increases in the numbers of salmon caught were registered in all regions except Anticosti Island.The Ungava region had the largest increase.48 per cent, followed by the Gaspé with a 37 per cent increase and the North Shore with 31 per cent.The increase in the take corresponded with an increase of 48 per cent in the number of days fished and an increase in the fish stocks in most regions.In only two regions were there exceptions to this rule.Anticosti and part of the Gaspé had their stocks remain more or less the same from 1985 to 1986.GOOD TIMES For 1987 this means we will see stocks that are equal to or slightly larger than last year’s.There are two reasons for this prediction.The stocks of young salmon were generally higher last year suggesting a good supply of two-year-old salmon this year.Also, fishing in Greenland last summer was some of the best on record.The quotas were easily reached and bode well for catches of two-year-old salmon this year.BY REAL HEBERT This means that in three or four years there will be a good base for future stocks that will off set the bad years of 1983-84.By 1990-91 we ll be able to better evaluate the results of restiction programs that were started in 1984.TRAPPING COURSE The minister of Recreation, Hunting and Fishing will be signing an agreement with the Provincial Independant Trappers Association about information courses for trappers.The courses will begin in 1988 and will be man- detory in three years for anyone who wants to trap in Quebec By 1991 you'll have to take the course, available in all regions of Quebec,-from the PITA.BOW HUNTING The minister would also like to inform you that there will be no modifications to the bow hunting season this year The periods for bow hunting published in the Fishing.Hunting and Trapping Regulation Summary — effective from April 1, 1986 to March 31, 1988 — will remain the same as those announced in 1986.The regulation covers a period of two years and the Quebec Federation of Wildlife would like to see an extension in the amount of time allowed for hunting big game with a bow.The minister would like to oblige the request but the extension depends on how much game there is.The minister will be holding talks with the QFW to discuss the issue when it prepares its two-year plan for 1988-90.The extension in certain areas would not be implemented until 1988.MEETING The annual meeting of the Stanstead Fish and Game Club will be held Wednesday, April 8 at 7 p.m.in the Canadian Legion Hall in Stanstead.All members are invited.Clubs are gunning for the Mets By Mike Rutsey The Canadian Press Dwight Gooden of the world champion New York Mets, one of the best pitchers in

what the National League baseball club figures to be its biggest attraction this season Featured is a picture of the new Olympic Stadium roof, which may be a bigger attraction than the players on the field.The Expos, who start their 19th season Monday in Cincinnati, are coming off a dismal campaign, both on the diamond and at the box office.Montreal finished fourth in the East Division with a 78-83 record, 29li behind the New York Mets.They drew only 1.1 million fans, a 10-year low.The club did little to improve itself in the off-season.In fact, with the loss of Andre Dawson and possibly Tim Raines to free agency, and the trading of relief ace Jeff Reardon, the Expos appear to be significantly weaker.Still, says manager Buck Rodgers.“we could surprise a lot of people.” Rodgers is a natural optimist, but heading into 1987 he is relying on hope as much as anything else.Hack Rodgers.Expos “couldsurprise a lot of people.” Hope, first of all.that his pit ching staff is better on the field than on paper; hope his team avoids the injuries of the last two seasons, and finally, hope Raines returns May 1.If all those hopes turn into reali ty, Rodgers will be managing a contending club.If not.he will find himself casting exasperating glances upward — and admiring the new roof.PITCHING The group is headed by Floyd Youmans, who blossomed into one of the top hurlers in the league last season.Youmans.22.posted only a 13-12 mark with a 3.53 earned-run average last year, a record that does not do the fireballing right hander justice.He lost a one-hitter, a two-hitter and a three-hitter and a game in which he struck out 15 and allowed just 10 fair balls.The Expos’s starting rotation also includes Bob Sebra, Jay Tibbs, Neal Heaton and Lary Sorensen.All four have had good springs but only Sebra (5-5, 3 55) reached the .500 level in the majors last season.Another possibility is Bryn Smith, who has won 28 games the last two years, but is still recove ring from off-season elbow surgery and won't be ready for at least a month.The strong point of the staff is still the bullpen — right-handers Tim Burke.Andy McGaffigan.Randy St Claire, Bill Campbell and lefty Bob McClure — despite the loss of Reardon and his 35 saves to Minnesota.OFFENCE Offensively, the club starts the season reeling from two major losses.Dawson, their home run (20) and RBI (78) leader is with the Chicago Cubs.Raines, the league batting champion (.334) is still on the sidelines.The good news is that shortstop Hubie Brooks (.340,14 HR, 58 RBIs! and first baseman Andres Galar raga (.271.10.42) seem fully recovered from the injuries that interrupted their 1986 seasons.Both have hit around .400 this spring.Montreal will need big turnarounds from third baseman Tim Wallach and second baseman

-Willie McCovey went to the San Francisco Giants’ bat rack the other day planning to see what was left of his Hall of Fame swing at age 49.He struck out in his search.“I didn’t bring any of my own bats to spring training, and I couldn’t find one big enough,” McCovey said.“All the young players are using little 'ol bats now.“I’m amazed that they’re all going that route.I’m even more amazed that they think they can’t handle bigger bats.I think it’s the main reason you don’t see as many guys having 40-homer years now.With a light bat, you have to make perfect contact to hit the ball out.” Willie Mays, who reached the Hall of Fame seven years before his former teammate, shares McCovey's opinion.They both serve as spring training instructors.“I’ve tried to convince some of the players that with more wood at the end of their bats they could get more distance,” Mays said.“Richie Allen used a 40-ounce bat.and he could pull the ball!” BATS SMALLER Bats 35 inches or longer and weighing 36 or more ounces were commonly used, especially by power hitters, not too long ago.The averages now are 34 inches and 32 A heavier, longer bat gives you more distance.ounces, says Chuck Schupp, director of sales for Louisville Slugger bats on the pro level.“The drop is because the younger players have become so used to the feel of aluminum bats,” says Giants President Al Rosen, and that’s the consensus around baseball.Rosen swung 36 ounces during a playing career which included a 4.3-homer season for the Cleveland Indians.Aluminum bats, used by most players from Liltle League through college, weigh 31 ounces or less.Rosen and Bob Kennedy, the top men in the Giants’ front office, plan to force-feed more wood to hitters on their minor league clubs.“We’re going to have them try using slightly heavier bats with thicker handles,” said Kennedy, director of the Giants' player development.“We experimented with one club (Clinton, Midwest League) last year and thought we saw some improvement.” FEWER STRIKES The two Giants’ executives also think that if the minor leaguers can adjust to thicker handles, choke up on occasion and not swing from the end ol1 the bat all the time, they will strike out less.On the big league club, said Mays, Chris Brown and Jeff Leonard are going to try going up about an ounce and a half.“They’re both line drive hitters, but they’re strong, too.With heavier bats, instead of hitting 20 home runs, they mighl hit 25.” Rosen said he discovered how extreme the bat situation was becoming when one player put in an order for a 32-inch, 3 — Rodger Schmidt of West Germany used his extensive Saskatchewan background to advantage Thursday to score a stunning 6-5 upset over Russ Howard of Canada in the seventh round of the world men’s curling championship.Schmidt stole three in the fourth end and made a pressure takeout for two in the eighth to give the Germans their first win over Canada in 20 years of world touranment play.The Canadian defeat allowed Ei-gel Ramsf jell of Norway to assume sole possession of first place with a 6-1 record after the Oslo rink easily defeated Bob Martin of England 11-2 in six ends.Howard and his Penetanguis-hene.Ont., rink dropped into a second-place tie with the United States and Denmark with 5-2 records.The Canadian skip complained By Jim Morris WINNIPEG (CP) — Borje Sal-ming, clad only in his underwear and with a blue towel wrapped around his neck, sat slumped in the visitors' dressing room, a tired expression on his drawn, scarred face.The Toronto Maple Leafs had just beaten the Jets 6-2, sparking new life into their NHL playoff hopes.Reporters were busy talking to the Leafs’ new, rising stars such as Steve Thomas and Wendel Clark.Salming didn’t seem to mind the anonymity.During his 14 seasons, the defenceman has seen many new faces come and go and has experienced many highs and lows.“The low point?” the 35-year-old answered slowly when asked to review his close to 1,000 games in a Leafs’uniform.“When we finished the 21st team in the league (1984-85).That was pretty down.” Salming has always been a dependable performer despite the of- bitteny after the loss about the afternoon ice conditions as warm weather continued to cause problems in the later ends.Jim Vukich of Seattle defeated Jean-Francois Orset of France 4-2, while Gert Larsen of Denmark held on to defeat Goran Roxin of Sweden 7-6, the fourth straight defeat for the Swedes.SCOTS WIN Grant McPherson of Scotland finally won his second game of the competition with an 8-3 victory over Felix Luchsinger of Switzerland.Schmidt, 34, is no stranger to Canadian curling conditions.The Neudorf, Sask., native played lead for Saskatchewan champion Rick Folk at the 1978 Canadian championships at the Pacific Coliseum in Vancouver.The Schmidt family moved to Lahr three years ago when Barbara Schmidt took a teaching position in West Germany.It was the fourth straight win for ten turbulent storms surrounding the Leafs.Who would question if he’d become bitter over the years?He has played 62 playoff games, a number that pales beside the 80 Edmonton’s Wayne Gretzky has played during seven seasons.“It would have been nice to win,” Salming sighed, a sad smile crossing his face.“I definitely would like a good year with Toronto.They’ve treated me well though.I can’t complain.“They’ve treated me like gold.” BEATS HAWKS This was supposed to be the year Salming and the Leafs got their redemption.They knocked off the Chicago Blackhawks in last year’s playoffs and came very close to eliminating the St.Louis Blues to advance to the semifinals.Things started well this year as Toronto bolted from the gate, and battled the Detroit Red Wings for first place in the Norris Division during the season’s early stages.Then came the long slide which the German rink as they moved into playoff contention with a 4-3 record.good enough for fifth place The top four teams advance to the semifinals Saturday.Schmidt — with third Wolfgang Burba, second Joihnny Jahr and lead Joachim Burba — took a 4-0 lead in the fourth end following a Howard miscue.The Germans stole three when Howard was heavy with an attempted raise.Howard managed to tie the score at 4-4 with a single in the fifth and steals of one in the sixth and two in the seventh when Schmidt was narrow' and wrecked on a guard with last rock.GRABBED LEAD Germany went ahead 6-4 in the eighth when Schmidt's takeout attempt was successful and he stuck for two.Howard had an opportunity to count two in the ninth, but the skip’s final stone rolled out and Canada had to settle for one.Howard was so rattled by the dumped the Leafs into the division basement until their last-gasp charge to the playoffs.“Maybe we started out too good and got over confident,” said Salming, who had four goals and 15 assists after 52 games.“We've got a young team.They started off really good then slacked off.That’s a learning process for next year.We have to play 80 games.” Since joining the Leafs in 1973, the native of Kiruna, Sweden, has been named an NHL first or second-team all star six times.He’s Toronto's all-time leader in goals, assists and points for defencemen and is among an elite group which includes Darryl Sittler, Dave Keon and George Armstrong as the only Leafs with over 700 points.ADMITS DRUGS The last two years haven’t been kind.Injuries forced him to miss 33 games last season.This year, the NHL suspended him the first eight games after he admitted to using cocaine six years ago.heavier ice during the final end that he hogged both his shots.The Germans had lost 20 consecutive games to Canada in world play, including one game in the playoffs.Some rinks, notably Denmark, tried to keep their stones cool by using towels to cover the rocks when they were out of play.Tournament officials blamed the higher afternoon temperatures indoors on the method by which the roof of the domed B.C.Place Stadium is maintained.Outside air is constantly brought into the stadium through an air duct system which does a complete change in air every 40 minutes.The temperature at ice level rose to almost the freezing level by the end of the seventh draw.Temperatures ourside were well above 20 degress Celsius.Ice conditions during the evening draws this week have been almost perfect as the temperature drop late in the day.Then came the horror of Nov.26 in Detroit when his face was slashed for more than 200 stitches by Gerard Gallant’s skate.“The cut didn’t hurt my eye,” said Salming, an ugly red scar beneath bis right eye a permanent reminder of how close he came to being blinded “If it would have hit my eye, I would have packed itin.” Since returning to the hockey wars on Dec.10, he has missed eight more games with an elbow injury.Undaunted, Salming is putting off thoughts of retirement for at least one more year.“I’ve got another year on my contract so I’ll play another year,” he said in his horse, raspy voice, made worse by a slight cold.Then what?“I’ve been playing so long, I’d love to take a couple years off, to stay with the family,’’ he said, thinking about his wife and two children.“The kids are 10 and 12.“It would be nice to stay at home with them.” The Canadian Press It has been said that only the strong survive the NHL playoffs.That axiom will be put to the test this year.As if the two-month playoff grind wasn’t tough enough for the top contenders, the NHL has made it even tougher.The first round, which begins next week, has been extended to a best-of-seven format from best-of-five.That means the Stanley Cup finalists could play as many as 28 playoff games in 55 days.The grind includes four games in five nights to open the first round After that, games will be played every second night until each series is decided.What this means is that the ultimate winner is likely to be the team with the most depth.And some of the league’s best teams, aware of this, have been stocking up on bodies.“To win it all, you need 26,27 or 28 players,” says Emile Francis, general manager of the Hartford Whalers.“Last year, the two teams that made it had the most depth.” Last year’s Stanley Cup finalists, the Montreal Canadiens and the Calgary Flames, reached the final because they were able to draw on their extra reserves and outlast weary opponents.After a three-game sweep over Winnipeg in the first round, the Flames endured seven-game wars against Edmonton and St.Louis.Montreal’s road to the final was a bit easier: the Canadiens ousted Boston in three games, Hartford in seven and the New York Rangers in five.Those two extra games Calgary played in the semifinals — combined with injuries to defenceman Gary Suter and centre Carey Wilson — ultimately took their toll as the worn-out Flames lost to Montreal in five games.This year, Calgary and several other teams loaded up on depth in preparation for the playoffs.Time out By Paul Woods The Canadian Press In the season’s final weeks, the Flames added Finnish defence-man Kari Eloranta and collegiate centre Joe Nieuwendyk to a roster that already had at least four spare bodies on any given night.The Flames now have 26 players, plus three more — forwards Brett Hull and Brian Bradley and defenceman Dale DeGray — who have played in the NHL this year but are currently in the minors.“We have eight defencemen.” says Calgary coach Bob Johnson.“That's not too many.“Then we have five (forward) lines.There's nothing wrong with that.” ADD THREE The Flames' arch-rivals in Edmonton also beefed up for the playoffs.The Oilers a.dded forwards Kent Nilsson and Jaroslav Pouzar and defenceman Reijo Ruotsalainen.The Minnesota North Stars obtained Paul Boutilier and Raimo Hel ninen in trades — for a draft choice and future considerations, respectively — and coaxed Mark Pavelich out of retirement.In last year’s playoffs, the Canadiens used 25 players, including 19 who played at least 10 games each.Calgary used 28, 20 of whom had at least 10 games’ service.Montreal set a record last year with 28 players’ names engraved on the Cup.In the dozen years prior to 1986, an average of about 23 players’ names were etched on the Stanley Cup each season.The low was 21 (Edmonton, 1984) and the high was 25 (Montreal, 1979).Dependable Salming been treated like gold Sherbrooke skater ready for world By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CP)—There was a rude awakening for the Canadian indoor short track speed skating team at last year’s world championships.As one of the more powerful countries in the sport at the world level, Canada had won at least one overall title in each of the first five years of the event.But the country was shut out at Chamonix.France, something that still gnaws at Guy Daignault, the Montreal skater who shone individually, with a gold medal in the 1,000 metres and a silver in the 3,000 metres.“Psychologically, I think we weren't prepared last year,” said Daignault.23, and a six-year member of the national team, which is one of the favorites at the 120-competitor event that brings together 50 nations, starting tonight and running through Sunday.“When you win and win and win like we had been doing, sometimes you lose your motivation.“I think last year woke us up.In training, it’s been the best year we’ve had.Every member we have on this team can do well in each race.” Japan looms as the most formidable competition for the Canadians, with Tatuyoski Hishiara the major stumbling block for Daignault in his overall title bid.The overall championship is based on results in four distances — 500 metres, 1,000 metres, 1,500 metres and 3,000 metres.“The Japanese and the Dutch skaters will give us the most trouble,” Daignault predicted.“And Great Britain has some promising skaters.” WON IN 1982 Daignault won the overall championship in 1982 and was a top contender in the other years.That type ol performance makes him a leading contender to win a gold medal at the 1988 Olympics in Calgary, where indoor short track speed skating will be a demonstration sport.Daignault is optimistic that the sport will become an official Olympic discipline in 1992.“We’ve got 50 countries competing in the world championships here this weekend, and there are other countries who’ve taken up the sport.So, we’ve got enough countries, it’s only a matter of the International Olympic Committee accepting it.” The women’s competition at the world championships shapes up as a battle between Canada and Japan, with Bonnie Blair of the United States, the defending overall champion, having moved to outdoor skating.Maryse Perreault of Sherbrooke, who was second to Blair, is in an ideal position to duplicate her overall championship of 1982.The 22-year-old, who has competed in each of the previous six world championships, said she is ready physically, despite having surgery on both legs last December.“I haven’t been in as many competitions this year as the other members of our team, but I don’t think that will be a problem.We’ll just have to wait and see.” Sport short MILAN, Italy (AP) — Boris Becker, avenging a recent Davis Cup upset, defeated Spaniard Sergio Casai 6-2,6-4

secure in his talent and in his place in boxing.“Just because he won a gold me-dal and became America’s sweetheart, doesn’t mean I’m a bum,” said the middleweight champion, who will fight Leonard in a scheduled 12-round bout at Caesars Palace on Monday night.Leonard is coming out of retirement for the challenge, and a lot of boxing people think the challenge is too late.Leonard, who v/on a gold medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympics, has had just two fights in more than five years.His last was a ninth-round knockout of Kevin Howard on May 11, 1984.“I don’t believe he has any business in there with me right now,” Hagler said Thursday.“He’s been sitting on the other side (outside) of the ring (as a television boxing analyst) and thinking he has the tools to do it.“That’s great.It makes me a lot of money.” Hagler is guaranteed $12 million US, and promoter Bob Arum said champ, who also has a percentage deal, should get at least $15 million.Leonard is guaranteed $11 million.“I need a new breath of air, like something to motivate me,” Hagler said of Leonard’s challenge, which has been criticized in some quarters because of retinal surgery on Leonard’s left eye that prompted him to retired in 1982.HIS CHOICE “I’m not thinking about his eye,” Hagler said.“He’s the one that made the choice.“I’m going in there to do a job.My job is to defend the world middleweight championship.” Both fighters were given physical examinations Tuesday night conducted by the Nevada State Athletic Commission.Hagler was a 2!/2-l favorite for the bout at a soldout 15,300-seat outdoor stadium.It is being sanctioned as title fight by the World Boxing Council.The International Boxing Federation recognizes Hagler as cham- pion, but would declare the title vacant should Leonard win.Hagler has had his championship recognition withdrawn by the World Boxing Association.Tuesday, a request for a temporary injunction against the WBA’s action was denied by a U.S.district court judge in Boston.Morris Goldings, a lawyer for Pat Petronelli, Hagler’s comanager, filed an appeal of the court’s ruling on Wednesday.Leonard has said he doesn’t care what titles are at stake.The challenge of fighting Hagler is enough for him.Leonard also said he will retired again, win or lost.Asked about his plans, Hagler said, “I like to take one step at a time.I’ll see what happens.I’m only two fights from breaking Carlos Monzon’s record.Should Hagler beat Leonard, he would need two victories to break Monzon’s record of 14 successful middleweight title defences.SERviNq rhe TowNships For tFie Last rhiRty years.5
