SOME INCONVENIENCE The post office has been closed since July and green group mailboxes have been installed near the former post office.Barnard said the only inconvenience to customers is the “call-for service” — such as registered letters and parcels — which must now be picked up at Knowlton post office, about six miles away.Barnard said the corporation usually gives customers at least 90 days notice before closing a post office, but “we had to close this one in a hurry." The day after the office closed, rumors around the village had it that Staples quit over a longstan ding territory dispute with Canada Post.Until July, the Brome post office also served neighboring parts of the town of Brome Lake.Staples was said to be a vehement oppo nent to shifting those customers to See Alternatives, page 3 Most ships steered clear of Gulf MANAMA (AP) — Iran said Tuesday its war games in the narrow Persian Gulf gateway are training suicide squads to attack U.S.warships with speedboats converted into bombs.Most commercial ships steered clear.One shipping official said “almost no ships” were making the east-west journey through the Strait of Hormuz from the gulf, where Iran and Iraq have been at war since September 1980.Traffic in the other direction, into the southern end of the gulf, was reported down by one-third to half.Another shipping agent said a panicky reaction caused sharp reductions in sailings after reports that Iran blocked shipping channels in the strait.Hormuz is 44 nautical miles wide, with Iranian territory on the north shore and Oman on the south.Iran’s official Islamic Republic News Agency quoted Cmdr.Mohammad Malekzadegan as saying: “Iran's naval forces are fully prepared to take revenge on the United States and its criminal accomplices for shedding the blood of innocent pilgrims.” His reference was to the deaths of hundreds of Iranian pilgrims in battles with Saudi Arabian riot police Friday in the Moslem holy city of Mecca.Iran says police shot them.The Saudis say the pilgrims were trampled to death or killed in riots.SENDS LETTER At the United Nations in New York, Iran circulated a letter accusing U.S.warplanes patrolling the gulf of violating Iranian air space July 11.It said “any unlawful provocative act by the United States” would have “very dangerous consequences.” Iran began three days of naval manoeuvres in the strait, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman at midnight Monday night.It told all foreign vessels and aircraft to stay out of its waters.The reflagged Kuwaiti tanker Gas Prince and its U.S.navy escort passed through the strait out of the gulf a few hours before the starting time.Mulroney: Sherbrooke suicide attempt fails RECORD JACK BKANSWI.i l A city man tries to take his own life Tuesday by setting head.But he failed and was taken to hospital with fire to his apartment

$1.2-billion fund announced Tuesday to help ween the West from dependence on boom-and-bust resource-based industries such as oil and wheat will be a powerful tool in the hands of westerners, said Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.Mulroney said the fund will be administered by a new Edmonton-based Western Diversification Office that will dole out grants to business, local governments and universities over the next five years.“We have given the Western Diversification Office the money, the clout and the flexibility to to get things done,” said Mulroney, who was flanked by premiers Don Getty of Alberta, Saskatchewan's Grant Devine, and Manitoba’s Howard Pawley.British Columbia Premier Bill Vander Zalm could not attend but sent a telegram.Each of the premiers had praise for the initiatve, similar to regional development offices already set up for Northern Ontario and the Atlantic region Pawley said later he was pleased by the general outline of the initiative, but the real test will be to see how it operates.CONCRETE POURED “I believe the concrete was poured today,” said the head of Cana- da’s only NDP government.“The concrete can give rise to a good strong foundation, a good quality house.” Dick Parr, president of the Alberta Chamber of Commerce, said he is reserving judgment until the plan has a chance to get off the ground.“I hope we will see some real results in three, four months time,” said Parr.Indian Affairs Minister Bill McKnight, a Saskatchewan MP, will be the minister responsible for the new agency, which will take over many of the regional development responsibilities now handled by the Department of Regional and Industrial Expansion.Bruce Rawson, McKnight's deputy minister at Indian Affairs, will become the new agency’s chief bureaucrat.DRIE, already stripped of most of its regional development responsibilities.is being scrapped and its remaining responsiblities for large industrial development rolled into a newly created Department of Industry, Science and Technology UNDER FIRE DRIE minister Michel Cote, who has come under fire for overspending in his department, will head the ministry.Frank Oberle, minister of state for science and technology, will become the junior minister under Cote’s new portfolio.Mulroney pledged the money for the development fund would not be bled from existing regional development programs.“This money is over and above the amount presently flowing into Western Canada under existing programs and arrangements,” said Mulroney as he wrapped up a three-day western tour designed to bolster sagging support in the West.SALEM, Ore.(AP) — A man who became part of a radio station’s April Fool’s joke is suing the station for $1 million.William Whipple of Keizer, Ore., brought the lawsuit against station KXYQ, known as Q105, and its owner.Ronette Communications of Oregon Inc.The lawsuit, filed in Marion County Circuit Court, said the station offered a new Porsche sports car and $10.000 in cash to anyone who could correctly answer a broadcast trivia question.Whipple, 24, answered the question but when he called the Mulroney and his officials were vague about how the money will be spent.Officials said consultations will continue with the provinces, business and labor in the coming months to work out more details.However, they did say there would be no set formula for dividing the money among the provinces.Priority would likely be given to smaller projects in areas such as research and development, new product testing or marketing.station 20 minutes later to ask for directions to the station, he was I told it was all an April Fool’s I joke.When Whipple demanded deli- I very of the prizes, two disc I jockeys made joking comments I on the air questioning Whipple's I mental abilities, the lawsuit said.I The lawsuit, which maintains | that Whipple’s reputation was da-1 maged, seeks $1 million in da-1 mages as well as the $10,000 in I cash and the Porsche.Also named as defendants were I the two disc jockeys, the station’s I general manager and its pro-1 gram director.Suing over April Fool’s joke Bourassa: Accord should be left alone By Linda Drouin MONTREAL (CP) — No amend ments should be made to the Meech Lake constitutional accord as a result of the parliamentary hearings that opened Tuesday in Ottawa, says Premier Robert Bourassa.“We have a situation now, the first ever, where all Canadian par tners have accepted the proposals,” the Quebec premier said at the launching of a book about the Meech Lake agreement.“If we reopen it, it will be difficult to go on with ratification.” In Toronto, Ontario Premier David Peterson said the Meech Lake accord could be changed at the joint Senate-Commons hearings and then sent back to the Quebec national assembly.But Bourassa said, “If we open it (the accord) for one question, others will come up and then we will have to go back to Parliament, have other meetings, and it’s not easy to have agreement between 11 partners.” Bourassa said any changes that are proposed must come in negotiations on Senate reform and other issues not covered by the original agreement bringing Quebec into the Constitution.“There is a commitment for a second round of negotiations so if there are proposals made at those hearings, we should discuss them at the second round,” he said.NEEDS APPROVAL The accord must be ratified by Parliament and all 10 legislatures.Quebec, which is recognized in the agreement as a “distinct society”, is the only government so far to approve it.It gives the provinces a greater say in appointments to the Senate and Supreme Court of Canada and the right to drop out of shared-cost programs under provincial jurisdiction and receive financial compensation.All provinces would also get a veto over future changes to federal institutions.Parti Québécois Leader Pierre-Marc Johnson, who has criticized the accord for not going far enough to protect Quebec rights, said he expects it will be stalled by Opposition from other legislatures.Johnson said amendments to the agreement, such as one on aboriginal rights, may become necessary in the next few months.“If that happens, the whole deal has to be looked at from top to bottom.” Johnson said he hasn’t been campaigning hard in Quebec against the accord because Quebe cers are tired of constitutional wrangles.FEEL WEARY “The population hasn’t rallied against it because this government passed the resolution when everybody was preparing for summer vacations and for a while people became fed up with constitutional battles,” he said.“There’s little we can do to stop it in Quebec because it 's been adopted by the national assembly,” he said.“It remains to be seen if it will be adopted in the rest of Canada.” Johnson said he has no plans to present a brief to the joint parliamentary committee.The book, a collection of news ar tides and opinion published since the June 3 agreement was reached, was released jointly by Montreal Le Devoir and the publishing company Editions Guerin Littérature.A breakfast gathering to launch the book drew federal and provin cial politicians from all parties including federal Labor Minister Pierre Cadieux;, Raymond Gar neau, Liberal Leader John Turner’s Quebec lieutenant; Robert Toupin, the NDP’s only MP in Que bec ; and former PQ cabinet minis ters Jacques Parizeau and Jacques Yvan Morin.Refugee joined group due to good demands By Nancy Elliott-Dyke HALIFAX (CP) — A Sikh man detained after landing on a Nova Scotia beach July 12 says he joined an East Indian political group because its demands for social reforms were reasonable.Amarjit Singh Garcha, 24, who was smuggled into Canada with 173 other East Indians more than three weeks ago, also said he had been misunderstood when he said he would murder if ordered to do so by the All-India Sikh Student Federation Garcha said he joined the federa j tion because the group wants the Indian government to provide an adequate water supply, electricity and the right to practise religious beliefs in the Punjab state.The student organization has been named by some police forces as a violent terrorist group dedicated to setting up a Sikh homeland in India Garcha is one of six Asians from the group that landed at Charles-ville, N.S., being held behind bars at a Halifax military jail as securi ty risks.His detention hearing was adjourned Tuesday for a second time.His hearing had first been adjourned a week ago while lawyers obtained a transcript of an Immigration Department hearing on July 21, when police said Garcha should be held in detention because he had earlier admitted he would kill under orders.Garcha said Tuesday that when he was first interviewed by RCMP Cpl.John Burns — the day after he arrived in Nova Scotia — he was asked a number of questions about whether he would commit murder.Through an interpreter, Garcha told Tuesday’s hearing he answe red by saying he would not murder in Canada or India, but upon further questioning said he would murder in India if his religious beliefs were at stake.DIDN’T KNOW : Garcha, who worked in agricul-, ture and as a diesel mechanic in : India, said he didn’t know he was • talking to an RCMP officer — (.Burns wasn’t wearing a uniform J and didn’t identify himself as a po-f lice officer.' He said he wasn’t advised of his right to counsel or that what he said could be used against him in future hearings.He was also ill, had been vomiting and was awakened from a sleep to talk to Burns, he said.Albert Chand, the Dartmouth, N.S., taxi driver who acted as interpreter at the interview with Burns, said he had accurately translated both questions and answers to the best of his ability.Ken Moran of the Immigration Department said Garcha should continue to be held in detention as a threat to the public and because he cannot be counted on to appear for future hearings.“It’s the department’s opinion that Mr.Garcha has come to rea lize he said some things he should not have said and it was easiest to blame it on the translation,” said Moran. 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, August 5, 1987 Joyful reunion at last for Salvadoran family They finally arrived.At about 11 p.m.Monday night five Salvadoran children stepped off a plane at Dorval airport to meet their mother, whom they hadn’t seen for two years.Accompanied by their father, Hector Santamaria, the five children had boarded a plane in El Salvador many hours earlier to make the long-awaited trip.The reunion of the family marks the end of almost two years of efforts by a local doctor, several local churches and service groups such as the Sherbrooke and the Montreal Rotary Clubs to get the family through the proper immigration channels.The efforts were launched in 1985 when Dr.Robert Shepherd, a psychiatrist living in Dunkin, heard of the problems Hector and Daisy Santamaria were having in reuniting their family.Hector had come to Canada from El Salvador three years before because he objected to joining the army.He was living in Montreal in April, 1985 when he received a phone call from Daisy.She had escaped from El Salvador because of threats from the military, who claimed her husband was hiding in the mountains, engaged in guerrilla activities.PAID $500 US Daisy had travelled overland into Texas, paying $500 US at one point to be led across the border by an illegal guide.The couple’s six children were left behind in the care of their grandfather, Daisy’s father.When Shepherd first heard of their wishes to bring their children to Canada, it seemed like a simple enough task.All they needed was the air fare for one person to fly to El Salvador and back and for one-way tickets for the children.Plus a few calls to the Canadian immigration department.Shepherd told the couple that if they would raise one-third of the $3800 required, he would take care of the rest through a fundraising campaign.In mid-January Shepherd held a press conference in Dunkin to give the Santamarias a cheque.Members of the Salvadoran community in Montreal were on hand to help celebrate the imminent reunion of the family.But it seems there were many more bridges to cross.First the couple had to convince the immigration department that the six children were indeed theirs.On the advice of a friend Hector had declared himself single with no dependents as he entered Canada, to better his chances of getting landed immigrant status.FURTHER COMPLICATED The fact that Hector and Daisy were never legally married — official marriages cost too much in El Salvador — complicated the situation.At one point there was a delay because immigration officials in El Salvador couldn’t get to the village where the children were because the area was overrun Laurel -m-Sherrer with guerrillas.Another delay resulted when the grandfather, who is illiterate, couldn’t understand some important forms he’d received and eventually misplaced them.Then the lack of $20 US kept him from getting the children’s medical certificates for some time.When the oldest boy, about 14 now, decided he wanted to stay with his grandfather, this slowed the process again because immigration officials wanted to keep the children together.When Hector finally arrived in El Salvador to escort his children back to Canada there were several false starts to the journey.Daisy went down to the Dorval airport twice to wait two to three hours in vain for her family’s arrival.Because there are few flights out of El Salvador, and the system is not as streamlined as it might be, Hector had trouble getting the correct information to her.TRYING TO ADJUST Now the children are trying to adjust to a new country and a new language, while living with their mother in a two-bedroom apartment in Montreal.“She’s all beside herself with excitement,” said Shepherd when he telephoned with the news of the children’s arrival.When she left El Salvador, her youngest was a chubby toddler, but now the child is a tall six-year-old.Daisy is working part-time and studying French.Although she and Hector co-operated in the efforts to bring their children to Canada, the couple are no longer together.Although the family isn’t doing well financially by our standards, Shepherd thinks they’ll manage, since they live in a part of the city where there are a lot of immigrants like themselves who will provide support.The whole experience has been an education to Shepherd and the others who have worked to bring the family together.“It certainly has been an object lesson to us,” he said.The things we take for granted here — a phone call, an airplane ticket, $20 for medical certificates — become almost insurmountable obstacles to simple countryfolk in poorer countries.It has also left some people thinking about an immigration system that gives immediate attention to those who arrive with a dramatic flourish on the coast of Nova Scotia or Baffin Island, while others wait patiently for months and years to go through the proper channels.Employers pay too much compensation — Conseil MONTREAL (CP) — The recent decision by the Quebec workmen's compensation board to increase employers’ contributions could have been avoided if the government had amended existing legislation on occupational accidents, the Conseil du patronat, said Tuesday.Contributions could actually have been reduced by 20 cents per $100 of payroll if the government had put through the promised amendments, Ghislain Dufour, president of the province’s largest employers’ group, said.Contributions could also be lowered if the government absorbed $100 million of costs for certain expenses to cover such matters as preventive withdrawal of pregnant women from the workplace, work-area inspection, and appeals, he said.—____tel tfccora Georg* M»cL*r*n, Publisher.S69-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.SC9-6345 Uoyd G.Schalb, Advertising

Confederation of National Trade Unions should be returned to jail to await trial on charges of plotting to bomb hotels owned by Quebec businessman Raymond Malenfant.Gerard Theriault and Arsene Henry were freed on $50,000 bail each July 15 after Sessions Court Judge Maurice Langlois overturned a ruling denying them bail handed down after their arrest in June.Lawyers for the Crown argued in Quebec Superior Court that Langlois made a mistake when he freed the two strike organizers.Both are charged with conspiring to bomb a chain of hotels owned by Malenfant in Montreal, Drummondville and Chicoutimi and participating in a bombing that occured at the Chicoutimi motel May 23 as well as possession of illegal weapons.Henry is also charged with possession of explosive substances.Lawyers spent most of the day on Theriault’s case.Defence lawyer Jacques Larochelle called a former junior hockey player coached by Theriault to speak on his client’s behalf but a publication ban meant testimony could not be reported.Trial dates for Theriault and Henry have not yet been set.They were among five CNTU employees arrested after the bombing in Chicoutimi at the motel owned by Ma-lenfant, involved in a bitter dispute with the union.FREE ON BAIL Raynald Tardif, charged with conspiracy in the Chicoutimi bombing and participating in the blast, has been freed on bail but Guy Boisvert, charged with plotting to cause an explosion, was denied bail last week.CNTU strike organizer Marc Boivin pleaded guilty to conspiring to bomb hotels owned by Malen-fant as well as having helped carry out the Chicoutimi bombing.Richard, his brother, also pleaded guilty to bombing and conspiracy charges.Boivin, who will be sentenced with his brother Sept.11, has been accused by union officials of being in the pay of police forces.CNTU president Gerald Larose was named but not charged as a conspirator in an alleged plot to uoiuu me ivianoir Richelieu, northeast of Quebec City.Larose has consistently denied any involvement in the alleged conspiracy and has accused provincial police of conducting a smear campaign against his 235,000-member federation.The dispute with Malenfant began after he purchased the Manoir Richelieu from the government and fired its unionized personnel.It deepened last October when demonstrator Gaston Harvey died in police custody following a demonstration by former employees near the Manoir.A coroner ruled that Harvey choked on his vomit, caused by a combination of excessive drinking, stress and a headlock applied by police.News-in-brief Altar girl’s mom drops complaint Cdn.embassy was to be seized RCMP moves on cigarettes MONTREAL (CP) — The RCMP has begun to take action against the shipment of contraband cigarettes to the Caughnawaga Mohawk Indian reserve and is poised to move against the sale of the illegal products on the reserve, a senior police officer said Tuesday.The reserve, on the south shore of the St.Lawrence River, has about 20 “discount cigarette outlets” that sell untaxed cigarettes for $17 a carton instead of the average $23 paid in the Montreal area.Class action for flood victims MONTREAL (CP) — A Montreal lawyer is planning a class action suit on behalf of victims of last month’s flood, seeking compensation for millions of dollars in damages from the Montreal Island regional government and neighboring municipalities.Lawyer Irwin Liebman said Tuesday that the number of the claimants and the size of the lawsuit have not been determined because he was still consulting with clients, who are homeowners and the owners of smalland mediumsized businesses.CRTC wants children’s programs HULL (CP) — The Canadian Cable Television Association threw its support today behind proposed children’s, family, public affairs, weather and native television channels, but said cable companies shouldn’t be forced to carry what they don’t want.The association, concerned that the federal broadcast regulator will force cable companies to carry some new specialty TV services, said companies should have the right to decide which services they offer and whether those services should be part of their basic package or on pay TV.More than 30,000 claim status OTTAWA (CP) — More than 30,000 people will claim refugee status in Canada this year, an increase of almost 67 per cent from 1986, Immigration Department officials predicted Tuesday.Last year 18,282 people claimed refugee status.By June 30 this year, 15,532 had done so.There were 1,600 claims in 1980, 3,450 in 1981 and 3,300 in 1982.The number of claims rose to 6,100 in 1983, 7,113 in 1984, 8,374 in 1985 and jumped to 18,282 last year.Appointments cause objections OTTAWA (CP) — Patrick MacAdam, caucus liaison officer in the prime minister’s office, has been appointed senior media spokesman at the Canadian High Commission in London, despite earlier objections by career foreign service officers.In a statement last month, the Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers said Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s political appointments were damaging morale at External Affairs and could adversely affect Canada’s image abroad.TORONTO (CP) — The mother of an altar girl excluded from serving at a special Mass says she is dropping a complaint filed with the Ontario Human Rights Commission and will seek Vatican permission for Canadian women to serve at Mass.Suzanne Bernier said Tuesday she would ask Gerald Emmett Cardinal Carter — the archbishop of Toronto who barred her 11-year-old daughter from the Mass — to ask the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops to press the Vatican for the exception.Rafting accident claims another ALEXIS CREEK, B.C.(CP) — A treacherous section of the surging Chilko River claimed another victim Tuesday, three days after it killed five American businessmen.The accident raised British Columbia’s white-water rafting death toll this year to 12 people in four accidents.The latest adventurer to die was one of a group of 15 West Germans riding the river in southwestern British Columbia, about 300 kilometres north of Vancouver.Police did not identify the victim or any of the survivors, but said none of the survivors were injured.Fairness Doctrine abolished WASHINGTON (Reuter) — The U.S.Federal Communications Commission has abolished its Fairness Doctrine, prompting fears that the American public will lose an important avenue of expression.For 40 years, the doctrine has required U.S.broadcasters to give prominence to all sides in controversial issues of public interest.The FCC, which licenses American TV and radio stations, ruled Tuesday that the Fairness Doctrine violated constitutional guarantees of free expression and represented unwarranted government intervention into the editorial judgment of broadcasters.U.S.Contra plan may come WASHINGTON (CP) — A U.S.-sponsored plan that would stop the fighting in Nicaragua is being developed jointly by the White House and congressional leaders and could be announced today, congressional sources said.But even before the proposal had been publicly revealed, questions began to arise over whether it could succeed.The Nicaraguan rebels themselves indicated they may not support it.339 Haitians rescued MIAMI (AP) — Some 339 Haitians jammed on to a 20-metre boat that was taking on water were rescued by the U.S.Coast Guard 175 kilometres southeast of Miami, a spokesman said today.The coast guard has never found more Haitians trying to leave their impoverished homeland for the United States in one boat, said Lt.Cmdr.Jim Simpson.A 20-metre boat is fitted for a crew of about 10, he said.GUATEMALA CITY (Reuter) — The Canadian Embassy was among four foreign missions Guatemalan guerrillas planned to seize on the eve of a peace summit of Central American leaders, the Guatemalan military said.Defence Minister General Hector Gramajo told a news conference Monday night the guerrillas planned to seize the embassies in a bid to disrupt the summit and gain international attention.Iranian planned Mosque seize ?JIDDA, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi officials say thousands of Iranians in Mecca for the annual Moslem pilgrimage planned to seize the Grand Mosque and force pilgrims to proclaim Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini their religious leader.The accusations came Tuesday as 2.1 million Moslems marked the end of their violence-marred sojourn to the holy city of Mecca.Tamils will surrender arms JAFFNA, Sri Lanka (AP) — The leader of the most powerful Tamil rebel militia announced Tuesday his men will surrender their arms as part of an Indian-guaranteed accord to end Sri Lanka’s four-year civil war.“Because we have confidence, we are going to hand over our weapons to the Indian armed forces,” Velupillai Prabhakaran told a crowd of about 100,000 people, including hundreds of gun-toting members of his group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam.More supply weapons to Gulf BONN (Reuter) — The number of countries supplying weapons for the Persian Gulf war has increased significantly in three years, an international arms-trade expert said Tuesday.Iran’s sources, including Canada, have multiplied while Iraq’s have dwindled, added Walter Stuetzle, director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute.Stuetzle said the rising number of suppliers makes it seem highly unlikely a United Nations arms embargo can stop the fighting.Rust goes on public trial MOSCOW (AP) — A West German teen-ager who flew a private plane to Red Square will be put on public trial unless state secrets are involved, a Soviet official said Tuesday.Gennady Gerasimov, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, told reporters the charges filed against Mathias Rust, 19, had been approved by the State Prosecutor’s Office and sent to the Soviet Supreme Court.Rust was charged with illegal entry into the Soviet Union, punishable by a one-to-three year prison term ; violating international rules with a possible sentence of one-to-10 years; and “malicious hooliganism,” which carries a possible one-to-three year term.Prison sentences in the Soviet Union are served concurrently, so even if Rust were convicted on all three counts, he would serve a maximum of 10 years.Montreal police seize Quatre Saisons protest tapes MONTREAL (CP) — Montreal police refused on Tuesday to refrain from examining a videotape they seized from Quatre Saisons TV station until a similar case before the courts is decided on, a lawyer for the station said.Lawyer Arthur Campeau said the station asked police not to look at or use the the tape until Quebec Superior Court Justice Roland Durand rules on an earlier case that involves tape confiscated from the CBC.In the CBC case, police seized tape allegedly showing striking mail carriers entering and trashing a postal station in June.Quatre Saisons got a tip from demonstrators protesting on the front lawn of Emmanuel Weigens- berg, a Montreal international arms dealer who has been named as being involved in weapons sales to Contras in Nicaragua.The demonstrators, who concealed their faces, planted crosses on the lawn and nailed a banner to Weigensberg’s garage doors denouncing his involvement in the arms sales as immoral.Damage is estimated at less than $1,000.Clovis Coallier, director of a downtown police station, said detectives will examine the tape to see whether criminal charges will be laid.Quatre Saisons surrendered the tape after police got a warrant.He said Quatre Saisons had prior knowledge of the demonstration but the CBC did not have advance information on the postal incident.Campeau said Quatre Saisons news director Jean Rivard is considering whether to seek a court injunction against the seizure.Campeau said he is “inclined to go along with” the police justification for seizing the tape from his station.“In the CBC case, the police knew what was going on and had ample time to collect their own information,” Campeau said.However he said when police skim their evidence from the news media, there is a threat to freedom of the press.Quatre Saisons assignment editor Bill Kokeschsaid he “might not have used the story if the police had not reacted so fast.Our repor- ters went there at two, and the police were here at the station at five.” Coallier denied suggestions that police reacted faster than usual because Weigensberg was identified at Congressional hearings in Washington as the arms broker used by American officials.Meanwhile, the Quebec Press Council denounced the seizure of the tapes.In a statement, the council said it was concerned that such seizures appeared to be happening more often than in the past.The council said such practices jeopardize the credibility of journalists and could deprive reporters of sources reluctant to come forward if the risks of police intervention are high.Weather Sunny today with cloudy periods.High of 21.Cooling off tonight to a low of 8.Doonesbury BY GARRY

A 4 The Townships The RECORD—Wednesday, Aufjusl 5.1987—3 1____ftci ixecam I think everybody would tell you Brome Lake is right up there.’ The Town of Brome Lake is well-protected, says safety Chief Grenier Jean Grenier.‘Working with what we’ve got.which is not negligible.’ By Laurel Sherrer SHERBROOKE — The Town of Brome Lake has proper fire protection and a good police force, says the town’s chief of public security, and recent newspaper articles suggesting otherwise were wrong.Jean Grenier says recent Record articles examining the state of the town's police and fire departments gave the wrong impression.“It seems like the fire department and the police department want to have more personnel and equipment,” he said in a phone interview Tuesday.“At this point this is not true.” Grenier was paraphrased in the July 22 article as saying the town will soon have to consider purchasing a truck with an aerial ladder to cope with fires in taller buildings, or else do something to limit the height of new buildings.He says that although he was not misquoted, the aerial ladder is not an immediate need of the town, and he hasn't made any demands, nor been denied anything by the town council.HASN’T REFUSED “At this point the council hasn’t refused anything because we have not approached council on these items,” he said.In the future the fire department may make requests for more equipment to keep up with development in the town, but it will always have to take into account the finances of the town and what the citizens feel the town needs.There may be buildings in Knowlton that require an aerial ladder for proper fire-fighting techniques to be carried out, but it’s impossible to always have the best of equipment.In Montreal, for example, there are 50-storey buildings, and yet their ladders only reach to the seventh The fire department in Brome Lake has an excellent record, says Grenier, and the current administration has permitted it to grow considerably in the past few years — purchasing three brand-new fire trucks, building a fire hall, hiring a full-time fire chief and fire preven-tionist.“There is no other town in the Eastern Townships except Sher brooke and Granby that has a fulltime preventionist.” said Grenier The Town of Brome Lake has among the best ratings for fire protection in the province, according to the Insurance Board of Canada, he says, and since 1974 yearly fire losses have gone from $350-$450,000 to $60-$68.000 in 1986.WELL UP THERE “I think everybody would tell you Brome Lake is well up there." said Grenier.As for police protection, dealt with in a July 23 Record article, Grenier says the department is growing at a healthy rate and is not lagging behind the town's development Grenier, who acts as police chief as well as fire chief, says within a year and a half the force has gone from three to five full-time officers, and has gained a part-time secretary.The force was reduced from eight members a couple of years ago when some officers got in trouble over a beating incident, and the town decided to reduce the force and hand its investigating duties to the Quebec Police Force.Now the Brome Lake Police deal only with incidents of a non criminal nature and refer all others to the QPF.While Grenier would like his officers to be able to at least answer complaints about criminal activities, he’s content to have the QPF handle investigations.“We do not at this point have the proper equipment and the proper training and staff to handle investigations like we used to,” he said “We are not ready at this point.” “We are interested in talking about taking the complaints from people; to regain this, but not the investigations.Therefore there is no argument between the council or me or the general manager.T m not saying that we cannot or will not try to improve everything, but at this time we’re working with what we’ve got., which is not negligible.“We’ve gone very, very far and w’e have, I think, the proper fire protection service and we also have a good police department.” Police laughed at us, father says Sherbrooke family finds a garbage-loving boa constrictor in their trash can SHE R B ROOKE—Sylvie Pinard had the fright of her life Tuesday when she lifted the lid of her garbage can and found a four foot snake staring up at her Her father had his big surprise a bit later when police laughed at him for being worried.The Pinards live in an apartment on Bowen Street south in Sherbrooke.When Sylvie put out the garbage, she was expecting to find nothing in the bottom of the bin but a few left-over leftovers.Instead, slithering around in the Pinards’ house- hold trash was a juvenile boa constrictor — about as dangerous as a pet rabbit, but not as soft and furry.Sylvie put the lid back on, ran upstairs and told her father Gérard.CALL THE COPS Gérard told his wife to call the police.She did.They told her to call the fire department.She did They told her to call the Society for the Protection of Animals.She did, although the protection of humans was more on her mind.Before long a police cruiser, a fire truck, a fire department rescue truck, the SPA van and several news media vehicles were all lined up in front of the Pinards’ building.All the vehicles’ occupants were lined up out back around the garbage can, scratching various body cavities with their fingers and wondering what to do.A crowd of citizens gathered to watch the fun.ALONG CAME LISE Then along came petite Lise Côté, who works at a local pet shop.She held her nose to keep out the garbage smells with one hand, reached into the can and picked up the snake with the other.While the big brave men in blue stood back and gaped, Côté petted the reptile, showed it to the kids, and wrapped it in a blanket.Then she got in the van and sat down with the snake in her lap for the multi-detoured ride to the SPA’s house of cages on Queen Street north.Without batting an eyelash.TROPICAL ASIA Boa constrictors, members of the python family, are native to tropical areas of Asia and are relatively harmless.They can grow up to 10 feet long, but their bites are weak and non poisonous, and they kill their food by coiling their bodies around the prey and applying a full body squeeze not unlike those used in G rand Prix wrestling — except it hurts.But pythons don’t eat people, and don't even try, Côté said.A big one might go after a house cat — which in some cases might not be a bad idea.Meanwhile back at the Pinard home, father Gérard said he was concerned about the lack of concern shown by police.“We had no way of knowing what kind of snake it was or whether it was dangerous or not,” Pinard said.“But the police thought it was a big joke.” “They laughed at us,” he said.But none of them would touch the snake.Maybe they thought they were watching a Monty Python show.Depression drove him over the brink Fire-and-gun suicide attempt fails; Sherbrooke man goes to hospital Their baby’s in hospital but family survived trailer-park tornado SHERBROOKE (JB) — A 63-year-old man, who had just come out of hospital after receiving treatment for depression, tried to commit suicide Tuesday by setting his apartment on fire and then shooting himself in the head.But he failed.The drama began at 1;15 pm as neighbors smelt smoke coming from the man s apartment at 359 Montreal Street.The fire department was called by a neighbor and shortly after they arrived they heard a shot.Firemen were setting up their equipment at the exterior of the building, but were forced to retreat to the trucks for their own safety.Shortly thereafter, they heard another shot.BLOOD The man then came out of his downstairs flat, bloodied on the left side of his head, and crumpled to the ground just beyond his door.A neighbor, a young women who did not want her name used, wit- RtCORD JACK BRANSWF.LL Police and firemen outside the scene of Tuesday’s attempted suicide.nessed the episode.“I was in my apartment and I smelt something burning, I didn’t think it was anything.But then it started to get stronger, so I went up to see my neighbor upstairs.” When she came back out the man was standing outside his apartment with a rifle in his hands.She asked him what he was doing and he answered that the place was on fire and to get out.She went back inside and a few seconds later she heard a shot.“When I heard the shot I came out and he had blood all over the side of his head.” The man, according to Sherbrooke police, just grazed the side of his head with a .22 calibre bullet.The man was then taken into a fire department emergency vehicle and given first aid until a ambulance arrived.He was then transported to Hotel Dieu hospital where he is under observation for a head injury.The man’s life is not in danger.BEDROOM Firemen quickly extinguished the fire which started in the man’s bedroom.A blacked bedspring and a mattress charred on one edge where hauled out of the apartment.The department said the man started the fire under his own bed.The man had been out of hospital for two months, after receiving treatment for depression caused by a divorce.When the drama ended about 45 minutes later, a police inspector left the apartment with a plastic bag full of medical drugs.Police also found three or four emptied shells in the apartment.Alternatives sought for Brome mail Continued from

out of her grandfather’s arms and hurled through a window onto the street, is among the few survivors of last week’s tornado who is still in hospital.Sherbrooke native Monique Grégoire marvels at how a tornado that made kindling of her mobile home and toppled cranes spared the life of her six-pound baby girl.Ten-day-old Kristen Grégoire, whose parents and grandparents lived together in the trailer until it was demolished, was one of three children remaining in hospital Tuesday with injuries suffered last Friday after a tornado swept through an Edmonton trailer park where they lived.The infant was found more than 90 minutes after the sudden storm, lying in the middle of what had been the street in front of the fami ly home.Three days after the storm plucked Kristen from her grandfather’s arms, she was breathing without a ventilator at Royal Alexandra Hospital.“God gave her to me ; she’s a miracle,” said a beaming Grégoire, 16, after visiting Kristen in the intensive care unit Monday.“I thought for sure she’d be dead, but she’s a pretty strong girl.” Three-month-old Tyler Chrisp, found on a road near the Evergreen mobile home park eight hours after the tornado touched down, has improved in hospital after two operations on a severely cracked skull.A hospital spokesman said Tuesday that Tyler was in stable condition.He was initially listed in critical condition.Tyler’s mother, Wendy Chrisp, was in stable condition with internal injuries, a broken back, a collapsed lung and a broken leg.Tyler was found 300 metres away from his family’s trailer.Troy Murdock, 3, whose right arm was almost torn off in Friday’s twister, has started to regain feeling in his hand.There were fears Troy, sucked out a window of a trailer and slam med against another trailer 50 metres away, might lose the arm “It was hanging there by only a tricep muscle,” said Troy’s uncle, Mark Bourdage.“But the doctors reattached it and they say he’s come out fine.” Hospital officials said Tuesday that Murdock was in stable condition.Three other children who were hurled out of a trailer that became airborne were treated in hospital and released.Brandy Bond, 8, and her brother Clayton.6, each received about 12 stitches on their legs.Troy Murdock’s brother David, 6, received about 25 stitches for cuts on his legs, arms and face.Aaron Désjarlais, 2, and 3^2-month old Cody Grandish also es caped death after being tossed around rooms in their homes when the tornado struck.Speedy trial would deny bikers’ rights — Maranda SHERBROOKE - The lawyer tor two members of the Hell’s Angels motorcycle gang said Tuesday he will contest a preferred indictment against his clients, who are charged on five counts of first-degree murder.Léo-René Maranda, lawyer for Robert (Snake) Tremblay and Gaétan Froulx, told Mr.Justice Paul-M.Gervais in Superior Court he will contest the ruling, citing the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.Earlier Tuesday Crown prosecutor René Domingue filed the request, signed by deputy solicitor-general Daniel Jacoby, which enables the case to go straight to trial without holding a preliminary hearing.Domingue had also requested a transfer of the case to the Montreal district where trial of a dozen members of the gang on the same charges begins on Sept.10 All are accused in the deaths of five members of the outlaw gang’s Laval chapter on March 24, 1985 in Len-noxville.Justice Gervais did not immediately rule on the transfer.Meanwhile he ordered the pair to return to court Sept.8 for the setting of a trial date.SIMMER SCHOOL m ApAIUMttPmE - 9:00

P s Brewing in the pot Enough is enough! The latest news out of Iran is that their navy is training suicide squads to attack U.S.warships with speed boats converted into bombs.The second item of interest is that Iran has said it will deploy its first submarine in the Persian Gulf this week.Nobody is quite sure whether they have one, but that is beside the point.The country is currently in the middle of a three day war games exercise and they have warned all other countries that they will attack if they encounter any foreign vessel in the area.This most recent of Iranian crises started when the U.S.agreed to protect 11 Kuwaiti tankers using the waterway.The situation deteriorated last Friday when the Iranian government blamed the U.S.for the deaths of hundreds of Iranian pilgrims in a clash with Saudi Arabian police in Mecca.The U.S.escorted its last tanker out late Monday just before the deadline the Iranian military imposed for its war games.Outwardly the U.S.expressed little concern with the manoeuveres, but it is reported privately that the next navy convoy wil not sail until next week.This settles the problem for the moment.A long term solution needs to be found quickly or else the gulf is literally going erupt in war.The Persian Gulf has to be considered an international waterway.How can it be anything else?There are eight different, independent nations that border the body of water.The seven-year long war between Iran and Iraq is at the crux of the tensions in the gulf.At the root of the war is the battle between Moslem fundamentalism and a more capitalist lifestyle espoused by gulf nations such as Bahrain and Kuwait.More and more, Iraq is becoming the same way.Solutions have never come easily, especially to this region.But war is no answer, especially in the name of a supreme being.As difficult as it will be, a resolution, and not an armed one, must be found for the gulf problem.What is at risk is a war of unknown paramétrés, all for religious differences and to keep a few oil magnets getting revenues.Are these good enough reasons for war?In the past religion and economics have been two of the foremost contribu-ters to any war cause.Let’s hope this is not the case here, after all, the prime ingredients are brewing in the pot.JACK BRANSWELL Freeway shootouts latest U.S.craze LOS ANGELES (AFP) — There was a time the term “hot rod” referred to a souped-up car Now, it’s just as likely to mean a gun — like the ones many U.S.motorists are carrying to settle traffic disputes.As with many movements that began in southern California, the latest fad of shooting it out on the freeway has made its way across the United States as far as the usually more sedate city of Boston where the “make-my-day” mentality has caught on.By Monday, four people had been shot dead in such incidents in southern California and at least a dozen injured.The craze arrived Monday in Boston, where police said a bullet fired by an unknown gunman narrowly missed a motorist on the city’s southeast expressway.The bullet passed throught the driver’s seat after penetrating the car door, police said.Similar incidents have been reported in Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, New Orleans and New York.Psychologists and psychiatrists have tried to explain the phenomenon.OPINIONS DIFFER Martin Reiser, the Los Angeles police department’s chief psychologist said: “People (in California) are more self-centred The attitude is : Tf it feels good, let’s do it.’” But San Diego psychiatrist Michael Mantell has a different opinion: “You have to realize this is not a person to-person violent act.It’s a Camaro versus a Chevy, a Volkswagen against a Toyota.” Psychiatrist Chaytor Mason of the University of Southern California said drivers engage in anti social behaviour partly because they are cut off from the world in their metal and plastic cocoons.“There’s a lot more singing and masturbating on the roads than in the parks," said Mason, who has had that statement mass-produced on a word-processor because of the large demand from the news media for the quote.Among the latest victims of the motorway madness is Henry Kingi, former husband of actress Lindsay Wagner and a stuntman on the television action series Dukes of Hazzard and The A-Team.Kingi was shot in the arm and side after an argument with a Jeep full of teenagers on Saturday.He was in stable condition in hospital Monday.But not everybody’s weapon of choice is a gun.There was a report recently, again in California, of a man who used a block of cheese to smash the windshield of a motorist who, the eheese-wielder said, cut in front of him.Did you know that.?HAVE CALORIES Avocados are the most fattening fruit with 1,630 calories per edible kilogram; cucumbers are the least fattening with just 160 calories per kilogram.INSULT RICE At one time, it was against the law in Cambo dia to insult a rice plant.IT’S NUTS Brazil nuts actually come from Bolivia but are shipped out through Brazil and so take their name from that country.Catholic school funding could haunt Peterson By John Valorzi TORONTO (CP) — It aroused religious passions that toppled a government.Full funding for Roman Catholic schools was the wild card of the 1985 Ontario election — a hidden issue that exploded into a tide of antigovernment votes that eventually swept the province’s Conservative dynasty from office.Although the Liberals and New De-mocrats also endorsed the fullfunding principle, a silent majority of Ontario voters — many anti-Catholic Tory supporters — clearly pinned the blame on the governing Conservatives.To this day, former premier Frank Miller is convinced the decision to reverse a century of Ontario government policy and promise full financing to separate schools was a major cause of his defeat.As full funding enters its third year, the court-backed policy is nearly complete in the higher grades of the Catholic system.So for all practical purposes, the financing debate is over and Ontario Catholics, like those in Quebec, Saskatchewan and Newfoun- dland, can enjoy full public funding of their religious schools.But the battle has left scars and lingering resentments that could haunt Premier David Peterson as he heads into the Sept.10 provincial election campaign promising to make education a top priority for his minority Liberal government.RAISES QUESTIONS The Catholic schools debate has raised questions about the public funding of other religious groups and fears the government is quietly robbing Ontario’s 1.3 million public school students to help pay for the separate system.Ontario is one of the few provinces which by law doesn’t fund private schools, and Peterson is expected to face persistent demands during the campaign to extend full funding to 55,000 students in other religious or independent schools.The western provinces, Newfoundland and Quebec already subsidize their private schools, ranging from nominal grants to full funding.Still bitter from their failure to stop full funding, Ontario’s public school teachers, trustees and administrators have united in a coalition to make quality education — particularly edu- cation finances — the main issue of the 1987 campaign.Under an umbrella group called the Ontario Public Education Network, they plan to press Peterson to live up to a 1985 campaign promise to increase the province’s share of primary and secondary school funding to 60 per cent of the costs.Everyone talks about the need for quality education in Ontario schools, and critics point to the 50,000 students housed in portable classrooms and the 40-per-cent high school dropout rate as evidence of Liberal complacency.WHO PAYS?But quality in education is the secondary issue; the main question is who should pay for education, and from what tax base.Despite its 1985 campaign promise and pledges to make education a top priority, the Liberal government allowed its share of school board financing to fall to a 16-year low, while property taxpayers and businesses assumed an increasing burden for the cost of education.Last year, Ontario paid about 45 per cent of total school board funding of $7.3 billion, with the rest from local taxes on homes, farms and businesses.Two years ago, when Peterson took office, the provincial share was 46.6 per cent.In 1975, it was 61.3 per cent The government estimates that picking up 60 per cent of the tab would cost the treasury another $1.1 billion.To raise that kind of money, it would have to increase the sales tax to 8.5 per cent from seven per cent or increase the provincial share of income tax to 57 per cent from 51 per cent The Liberals, who have already hit Ontarians with more than $1 billion in new taxes, are reluctant to dig into voters’ pockets further.Conservative Leader Larry Grossman is calling for “basic reform in education,” including better primary school instruction and science teaching, computers in every classroom, lower student-teacher ratios, stan dardized testing and improved teacher training.The NDP, meanwhile, is urging an $800-million overhaul of the education system to provide guaranteed jobs for high school dropouts and free university tuition for single parents and students from low-income families.Letters Farming is not all bankruptcy and gloom Dear Sir: In reference to your article of July 16, (page 3), entitled “Champlain College Cuts Back on Agriculture Program ”, we, the undersigned, are deeply disturbed by the negative approach expressed regarding agricultural training at Champlain College.We would like to clear up any misconceptions or misunderstandings that may have arisen concerning the suspension of the Farm Management Program.In an attempt to make the agricultural program more accessible to lo- cal farm people, the schedule of courses beginning in Fall ’87 was rearranged so that classes would go from mid-October to mid-March.This was introduced at a press conference on April 8, 1987.Barely eight weeks later, on June 2, this new program was suspended.The consequence was that at least 11 committed students were left with a difficult decision of either pursuing, at potentially greater cost, their education elsewhere or, in some cases, abandoning it altogether.Experience has shown that many farm students enroll during the summer, often just before the semester begins.Therefore, even though the college administration feels that the program cannot justify its existence as is, we contend that enough interest has been shown to give evidence that a service has been provided for this region in which agriculture is still an important industry.While our student numbers aren’t as we’d like, we have improved substantially from a low point in Fall '85.Since then we have learned much about recruiting and what we can do to fulfil the needs of potential stu- dents.It must also be made perfectly clear that in an effort to cut costs, the Farm Management Program operated on a budget approximately equal to half of the budget of the previous years.Also part-time instructors are paid on a scale related to student numbers.Despite budgetary restrictions, a sincere effort was made to maintain satisfactory academic standards.The article to which we refer also mentioned teacher layoffs at the college There are many factors involved in action of this sort and to suggest that any one department is entirely to blame is grossly unfair.Our belief is that we have helped to introduce the agricultural community to Champlain College.Being the only agricultural program at the post secondary level in the Eastern Townships, we have served both francophone and anglophone graduates ; some of whom would not have received post-secondary education at all.In that Champlain is a community college, we maintain that our program can be of service to the community and the college in this regard.The agriculture industry has received much negative publicity in recent times and very little positive.While farming is not all green fields and sunshine, neither is it all bankruptcy and gloom.A farm can be a profitable enterprise and a good way of life.It is courses like this one that are needed to help farm people reach their full potential.Apparently the government shares this view.This spring it was announ ced that someone with a DEC in agriculture, starting or taking over a farm, would receive financial aid above and beyond that normally allowed.The Department of Education, also, has given CEGEPs with agriculture courses three years leeway to shape up their programs.It is positive, constructive moves like this that are needed for Agricultural Education to prosper.Thank you, HUGH PECKHAM, GUDRUN BRAND, WENDELL JOYCE, LARRY EVERETT, Farm Management Program Staff Champlain College Lennoxville, Que.VjHcopr'.Look out! Ytpes! y/ATCH IT .YOUP PVGHT WH°A i V/AXu ooi x B The Christian Science Monitor Plain-talkingVander Zalm rules by ‘gut feeling’ By Daphne Bramham VICTORIA (CP) — He’s not the king of Lotusland, but some people say he’s pretty darn close.Let’s just say Bill Vander Zalm is no ordinary provincial premier.With his wife Lillian, he resides at a place called Fantasy Gardens, a location Vander Zalm says he’s comfortable with.“I don’t think it's bad to be associated with fantasy and with castles and all of those things,” he says in a honeyed voice; a twinkle in his eye.“I think it’s rather nice in some respects.” But while Vander Zalm's catchword during his first year as premier has been “faaaantastic,” some think differently.Sweeping changes to provincial labor laws led to angry exchanges with workers' groups and a one-day provincewide strike.Native groups have found themselves still playing hardball with the Social Credit government, despite the change in leadership.But shucks, how many other pre- miers make themselves available on a monthly phone-in radio show?RULES BY FEELING In a pre-anniversary interview (he was sworn in as premier last Aug.6) the plain-talking Vander Zalm admits he rules by “gut feeling.” “We have no polls,” he says with a self assurance that comes with holding 46 seats in the 69-seat legislature.“I do like to get out and sort of read what it is people are saying and decide how it is we are doing on various issues and overall I get a pretty good reading.” When teachers demonstrated on the lawn of the provincial legislature, he stood among the crowd next to Elsie McMurphy, president of the B.C.Teachers' Federation, because he said he wanted to hear the speeches.And hamming it up for TV earner-men, the 53-year-old Vander Zalm borrowed a skateboard from a kid outside the legislature and took a spin.Despite his grassroots approach, Vander Zalm and his majority Social Credit government have not been able to rid the province of confrontation and bitterness.LEAVES WORK A general strike June 1 took an estimated 300,000 people off the job to protest the tough new labor legislation.A month earlier, teachers held a one-day strike of their own to protest the Teaching Profession Act.Being premier has called for a more diplomatic approach on Vander Zalm’s part.Gone is the man who made headlines by calling former Quebec premier René Lévesque a frog, suggested that French isn’t ap propriate on cereal boxes and recommended a cooling-off period for couples who wanted to marry.But the undauntable Dutchman adds: “When I was making the pronouncements that I did, I was often expressing publicly .what people were silently saying ” Now Vander Zalm says he realizes that “even a word or a slip of the tongue” can cause considerable controversy.With the new legislation in place.the premier says he will plot an econo mic strategy based on diversification and selling off government corporations, programs and services.His plan is simple and, at times, contradictory BELIEVES IN SUCCESS He admits selling off provincial holdings won’t create any new industry, but he still believes the private sector can make those enterprises flourish.He wants to diversify the economy, but says British Columbia won’t compete with other governments in giving grants, loans and incentives to lure business.He wants government off the backs of entrepreneurs, but his government’s budget increased their taxes this year by three per cent.Some critics say Vander Zalm has no plan, no vision, no goals.Even his close friend and the Social Credit’s chief fundraiser, Peter Toi-go, says Vander Zalm has no ideology.But, adds Toigo, the premier is shrewd and willing to listen. The K K (.'OKI)—Wednesday.August 5, 1987—5 Farm and Business f i__ lEBCOfu Investors unimpressed with provinces Credit ratings little better than in 1982 By Dennis Bueckert MONTREAL (CP) — Despite all their talk about cutting deficits, Canada’s provincial governments aren’t producing much of an impression on the big New York investment houses that dish out credit ratings.Standard and Poor’s, one of the two most influential firms in the business, has not raised the credit rating of any province since the 1981-82 recession.It has, however, lowered the evaluation of nine of them — the only exception is New Brunswick which has had the same rating since 1976.Even Quebec, showing comparatively good growth under a strongly pro-business Liberal administration, remains at the relatively modest AA rating ascribed to it in July 1982 when the Parti Québécois was in charge.Ontario, with the most dynamic economy in the country, remains at the level to which it was demoted in November 1985 — A A plus.That is the second notch on Standard and Poor’s rating scale, which goes from a high of AAA to a low of A-minus.Moody’s Investor Service, the other major arbiter, has just decided to drop British Columbia one notch, despite the economic growth spurred by Expo 87.The province now rates AA2, third from the top on Moody’s scale.“ E conomic improvement is fine, but if it’s not translated into improved finances, it’s very difficult for us to warrant a credit change,” Dan Aschenbach, Moody's assistant vice-president, said Monday.POINT TO DEBTS The key problem for most provinces is ‘‘the level of operating and total budgetary deficits, which translates into continued increments in the debt burden,” says Philip Bates, vice-president at Standard and Poor’s.Higher ratings generally translate into lower borrowing costs, and are ardently pursued by provincial governments.Lower ratings generally mean that a province must pay more to borrow money.Standard and Poor's will not complete its annual review of provincial credit ratings until September, but it has already confirmed that Quebec will not get the upgrading it has been seeking.‘‘We’ve seen a pretty strong recovery in revenues but it hasn’t been sufficient to bring down budget deficits to the degree where debt burden has been reduced,” Bates said in an interview from New York.Aschenbach said that the Prairie provinces face continuing economic problems, and a slight improvement in the Atlantic provinces has not been enough to change their ratings.Moody’s, which last year raised ratings for Quebec and New Brunswick, decided in a recent review not to upgrade Ontario.But Bates hinted Standard and Poor’s may take a different tack.“The Ontario situation is on an improving trend.” Bates said.Sales jumped 15 per cent when series went on the air Ultramar plans sequel to He Shoots, He Scores By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — Ultramar Canada Inc., a Quebec-based oil company which spent $650,000 to back the 13-week TV series.He Shoots, He Scores, has invested twice as much in a followup series.The original was a big hit, especially in Quebec where most of Ultramar’s 1,500 service stations are located.More than two million viewers saw fictional hockey hero Pierre Lambert get the winning goal in the title game.Ultramar scored too when sales jumped as much as 15 per cent.“They saw us as the ones who made it all possible,” said Michel Dallaire.advertising director at Ultramar.The sequel is be broadcast across Canada beginning in January.Previously, said Dallaire, “Ultramar had almost no image, it was considered some kind of a jobber in the public’s mind, with a very low-perceived quality.” That reputation wasn't helped when Ultramar bought the eastern Canadian assets of Gulf Canada in late 1985.Part of the deal was the controversial closure of the Gulf refinery in Montreal, a move which cost 350 jobs and shook up the Conservative federal government.DREW BLAME Dallaire said the closure was Gulf’s decision but some people felt it was Ultramar’s fault “and that did nothing for our image." “Ultramar made a master stroke” with the first series, said Pierre Delagrave, vice-president of Cossette Communication, a Montreal advertising agency.“In a single operation the company managed to portray itself as an important company and well integrated into Quebec society, even a likeable company.” Ultramar invested $120,000 in the first series, plus $100,000 to get its name or symbol in the program.“I didn’t expect to get our money back," admitted Dallaire.“but by 1988 we will recover it.” The company spent another $125,000 in promotions, including a contest during the series offering a free trip to Vienna to watch the filming of He Shoots, He Scores II.Ultramar was surprised when customers flooded into service stations to fill out 1.2 million entry forms.“Our awareness increased tremendously," said Dallaire.“People now know who Ultramar is, it gave us a lot of visibility.” Guy Archambault, president of the Quebec division, Ultramar Canada, said sales jumped by between five and 15 per cent during the series.PROVED POPULAR Gerard Dab, of the advertising agency Pu-bli-Cite which brought together Ultramar and the producer, Claude Heroux Productions, said that by the third episode the program on Radio-Canada was reaching more than two million French TV viewers.He said one reason for its popularity in the province was “Quebecers were portrayed as winners.” Ultramar also spent $312,000 for spot commercials.Radio-Canada is asking $11,000 for a spot in the second series, up from $8.000.He Shoots, He Scores had good ratings in France and Switzerland, and has even been sold in South America.Dallaire said, “Latins are very attracted to the violence, even if they don’t understand the game.” It will be rebroadcast on CBC and Radio-Canada this fall as a runner-up to the sequel which will start in January.He Shoots II, shot mainly in Europe, will cost $11.5 million, up from $8 million for the first series.Its sponsors include Swiss and French TV networks, and O'Keefe Breweries of Toronto.Ultramar Canada, l(K)-per-cent owned by Ultramar PLC of London, had earnings of $48 million in 1986 on sales of $1.6 billion.Another sequel to He Shoots, He Scores is already planned.Montreal stock broker believes smaller is better MONTREAL (CP) — Veteran Montreal stock broker Hugues Ouimet and half a dozen colleagues moved into a vacant wing of Place Ville-Marie a few weeks ago — backed by $2 million and a belief that small, in the securities industry, can be better than big.A few days later, the industry in Canada was deregulated, thrown open to competition from the Investor John Templeton became legend by scouring financial world for bargains By Mario Possamai CP Business Editor TORONTO (CP) — John Marks Templeton — legendary investor, Rhodes scholar and knight — makes just one concession to age.“I don’t have the stamina to swim a mile anymore,” says the 74-year-old Templeton, who parlayed a $5,000 stake into a family of companies that manage $12 billion US in mutual funds.But you wouldn’t know Templeton was slowing down by the blistering pace he kept during a recent visit to Toronto.After breakfast with some 500 investment dealers, he met directors of his flagship mutual fund, Templeton Growth Fund Ltd., in the morning, spoke at its annual meeting in the afternoon and then rushed off to a business dinner.Relaxing in his modest hotel room the next day, Templeton was none the worse for wear.“If you really try to be as useful and helpful as you can, you don’t get tired,” explains the chairman of the Bahamas-based fund management company Templeton, Galbraith and Hansberger Ltd.Not surprisingly, Templeton says he has no intention of retiring, although he plans to give up his post as chairman when he’s 80.“As the years go by, I will concentrate on what I believe our clients want.on selecting the best investment opportunities rather than being the boss in terms of hiring and firing.” NO SHAREHOLDERS Templeton, who became a British citizen after moving to the Bahamas in the late 1960s and was knighted earlier this year, was born in the small town of Winchester, Tenn.“No one in the whole town ever owned a share,” he recalls in a quiet voice that still bears a trace of a Tennessee accent.But that didn't stop Templeton from becoming such a successful stock picker that he’s been widely described as the “dean of mutual fund managers.” A measure of his success is the fact that a $10,000 investment in the Templeton Growth Fund in 1954 would now be worth more than $1.1 million Templeton's basic approach is to scour the financial world for bargains — companies whose shares trade far below their true value.He kicked off his stock bargainhunting spree on the eve of the Second World War.buying the shares of 104 U.S.companies whose stocks were trading at $1 a share or less.Of the 104 companies, only four proved worthless.He quadrupled his investment on the others, earning enough to operate his counselling company for two years while waiting to get enough clients to pay himself a salary.NOT EASY Getting started wasn't easy, ho- wever, partly because four decades ago, many investors didn’t consider it wrong to use information not generally available to profit from stock trades.And Templeton didn’t sit on any company boards, which put off some potential customers.‘As the years go by, I will concentrate on what I believe our clients want .on selecting the best investment opportunities rather than being the boss in terms of hiring and firing.’ “If you could get insider information,” he explains, “you’d use it for your own benefit and the bene- Career fit of your client.The customer didn’t think this was unethical.The underwriter didn’t think this was unethical.” That practice, known as insider trading, is illegal now in most markets.“There is a new standard of ethics that nobody even imagined was needed 30 years ago,” he says.“I think it’s needed and is a very important development.” Templeton is optimistic about the global investment climate but does have some concerns — especially about the Japanese stock market.Share prices in Tokyo — on average 76 times the earnings of their companies — “are so high that they’re not connected with value anymore.” And if shares in Tokyo fell to 20 times earnings — still high by North American standards where shares trade for about 17 times earnings — the loss would be over $2 trillion US, he estimates.CISC GASTON LESSARD THE

the trust and insurance companies, and foreign investment dealers.Ouimet, whose first firm, Mercier Ouimet Masse Inc., was merged with Tasse and Associates Ltd.2Vi years ago, has now formed Ouimet Hubbs Inc., a company financed mainly out of his own pocket with some support from European investors.“I’ve always gone against the trend," he admits.“It’s brave, but we’re not aiming to compete with the big boys.” Ouimet Hubbs, with a few computers, a few employees and with seats on the Montreal and Toronto stock exchanges, is one of a handful of Quebec brokers trying to carve a niche in an increasingly competitive business.TAKING TIME These smaller companies argue that some investors will always want a broker who has the time to give close personal attention and special service One such firm is Saumier Morrison and Davidson Partners Inc.established only last April.One of the founders is André Saumier, former president of the Montreal Exchange, who says it’s the medium and large brokerage firms, not the smaller ones, that have the most to fear from deregulation.“With the emergence of financial supermarkets and huge (secu rities) firms, the sophisticated retail investor will be less well served,” Saumier says.‘We provide the kind of personalized service that the big firms can't offer, and there'll be a demand for that kind of service in good times and bad.' “We provide the kind of personalized service that the big firms can t offer, and there’ll be a demand for that kind of service in good times and bad .” Companies such as Ouimet Hubbs and Saumier Morrison say they’ll dabble in the institutional side of the business, underwriting smaller corporate share issues that aren’t worth it to the larger brokerages.But their main busi ness will be in retail stockbroking, trading equities on behalf of wealthy clients.FINDING THE JAM As Saumier puts it, “The wealthy retail investor will be our bread and butter.Institutional business will be the jam.” So far, he says, business volume has exceeded initial forecasts."We may even be able to pay ourselves a small salary this year.” Still a third firm in the small category — small but getting bigger — is Deragon Langlois Ltd.Jean Deragon and Raymond Langlois were both 29, working for one of the giants.Dominion Securities Inc., when they decided four years ago to set up shop for themselves.They had $100,000 — three-fourths of it borrowed Deragon Langlois, helped by surging markets, has posted steady increases in profits and this year may top $1 million.Last month, it raised $2.25 million by issuing shares.Deragon says his firm has been able to stay ahead of the competition by offering innovative products geared to Quebec investors.SVE PT75/80fl13 PTB5/80B13 J PlBS/rëftM “ • 225/75R14 t

word youth as “the time between childhood and manhood/ womanhood ” By its very definition, it implies an ambiguous time, a period when a person is not a child any more but not a full-fledged adult either.It’s a time full of excitement and anticipation and one of searching, testing and questioning.There can be difficult times and even very painful times.It’s certainly a time of growth, development and deep thought.The adolescents’ bodies and ideas are changing and maturing.They are organizing, within themselves, their own indviduality and thinking about how they became what they are and what is to come.In a period of three to four years these young people have to go through a battery of changes.Physically they are leaving childhood behind.Our society today places a lot of importance bn being attractive.The teenager is bombarded on all sides with what is supposed to be “the perfect body”.Being too tall or too short, too fat or too skinny, too developed or underdeveloped, etc., etc., can cause stress as the teenager tries to “fit in”.No wonder teenagers are so self-conscious about what they look like ; they have to learn how to relate to an adult world and to understand its complexities.New and more mature relationships with their peers, both male and female, are beginning to develop.They are gaining a true sense of who they are, what they want from life and are also achieving at this time their own set of values by which they are going to live.Emotional independence from their parents is being achieved.One of the biggest decisions at this time is answering the question, “What will I do for a living?” It’s no wonder that teenagers sometimes feel overwhelmed by it all.There is so much to get straightened out, and so much to understand and to come to terms with.There have always been generation gaps and there always will be.Maybe, once in a while, they can be bridged if we remember what it was like to be a teenager.We can offer understanding, encouragement and patience and allow our teenagers space to grow wit help, direction, sensitivity and lots and lots of love.At no other time in history has there been so much scientific and technological progress.The young people of today seem to be aware of the uniqueness of their situation.There is an old adage, “If you want your freedom, be willing to accept the responsibility”.Optimistically, one can say that our teenagers do and are.Since the subject at hand is youth (and it often is), it would be noteworthy to bring to the attention of the public at large that the federal government has put forth a bilingual publication entitled HOT-lOO/ PALMARES.This work is a guide to what the government is doing to be of assistance to today’s youth.The booklet is divided into different areas, and covers information on such concerns as employment.Keeping in touch By Wanda Scott and Jennifer Ware education, travel, health and fitness and simply coping with one's own personal problems.Outlined are certain programs, services and financial aids available to Canada’s young people.No one subject is greatly delved into or completely explained; it is up to the interested individual to do the extra investigation.This method makes it possible to include over one hundred services within a relatively compact space.Addresses and telephone numbers are included with most entries, and the reader is invited and encouraged to call or to write for further feedback on the specific program or service for which he/she holds an interest.As a final note concerning specifics, there is an interesting bursary allotment for students wishing to pursue post-secondary studies in their mother tongue.If a student is of the official language minority community in their province (English for Quebec, French for the other provinces), and is unable to pursue studies in his or her mother tongue in their home province or territory, or if he/she is not within commuting distance to such an institution, the bursaries would normally cover the cost of two round trips a year from the student’s home to the school that was chosen.For further information on this particular program, you may contact your regional office of Secretary of State, or direct correspondence to: Official Languages in Education Secretary of State Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0M5 (819) 994-3724 This last bit of information may be of particular interest to those students from the Lower North Shore who wish to go on to postsecondary studies, and also to those students attending Champlain College or Bishop’s University from outside the area.These guide booklets are available through the Sherbrooke office of our Federal Minister of State for Youth, Jean Charest: 2144 King West Suite 210

their religious beliefs My clients often enquire as to whether they can object to the type of religious upbringing that their children are subjected to when they are in the care of the custodial parents or during the time when they visit the noncustodial parent.A recent judgment of the Quebec Court of Appeal has recently set out the criteria by which the court must judge the question of religious upbringing.The facts of the case are as follows; The parties, who were not married, separated in June 1980.At that point, they agreed the mother would have custody, with access to the child by the father.In December 1980, the father began to asso- ciate with Jehovah’s Witnesses, and he became a baptised member of that Church in December of 1981.The mother is a Roman Catholic, but she does not practice her religion actively.RELIGIOUS MEETINGS It was during this period that the father, while with his son, began to take him to religious meetings, and the boy, who was then three, went also with him while the father evangelized from door to door.In 1984, the mother addressed herself to the Superior Court, seeking an order that the father be permitted to take out the child but once every three weeks.She also sought an order prohibiting the father from taking the child to Legally speaking By Jacqueline Kouri church and to have the boy with him on evangelizing visits to neighbors and others.Finally, she asked the court to prohibit the father from responding to any question which the son might raise about the mother’s lifestyle.After a lengthy hearing, at which a family therapist, a psychiatrist and a psychologist testified, the trial judge decided to leave the right of access as it was, every second week-end, but also ordered that the father cease to instruct the child in his religious beliefs and more particularly, to abstain from bringing the child to religious meetings or on evangelizing visits.He further ordered that the father was not to comment, criticize or denigrate the mother’s or child’s lifestyle.The father appealed the court decision.APPEALED This year, the Appeal Court struck the part of the order which prohibited the father from teaching religion and the values of his faith to his child including the prohibition from the attendance at re- ligious assemblies.The court decided that unless there was clear-cut evidence that the well-being of the child required a prohibition of the teaching of religion, then the court could not so order.However, should the father’s teaching be in such a manner as to be detrimental to the well-being of the child by criticism of the mother’s lifestyle and morality, then the court would not hesitate to revoke the father’s right to instruct his son in the beliefs of his faith.The court also concluded that the case had very little, if anything, to do with freedom of religion as no one wishes to impair the father’s right to pass on his beliefs to his child, and that the court’s duty is to ensure that the interests of the child are protected NO RESTRAINT From this recent decision, one may conclude that no restraint will be placed upon a parent who wishes to teach his child his religious beliefs provided that the parent does not use this teaching to criticize and denigrate the life style of the other parent or to do anything which is proven to the court to be harmful to the wellbeing of the child.Jacqueline Kouri is an attorney in private practice in Lennoxville, Que.All questions or comments should be addressed to The Record, P.O.Box 1200, Sherbrooke, Que.J1K

Did anyone think to ask if she was speaking from experience?A little lesson in chemistry for you today.A little refresher on the nitrate of soda, better known to chemists as potassium nitrate chemical formula KN03.But a couple of generations ago it was also known to a lot of us unchemical backheads as the stuff that the cooks put in the soup at college cafeterias to make sure that your sexual urges didn't interfere with your homework.We called it saltpetre (in the language of the back-room boys, “soft peter”) and while the great people in colleges always denied it vehemently, everybody was certain that somehow or other they managed to get enough saltpetre into your ration to keep you pious and your mind on your studies.And if the dosage was adequate, rumour had it that even if Lady Godiva should ride naked across the campus, you wouldn’t be interested.Except perhaps in the horse.Or if by some fluke of nature you were interested, the simple biology of the matter would leave said Lady Godiva quite unsullied because you wouldn’t have been able to do a thing about it.Well the doctor tells us now that while saltpetre was once used for this and various other reasons, today it is no longer taken internally for any medical reason.They use it still to cure hams and make firecrackers, but no modern institution would ever dream of using it now to control the sexual impulses of youth.Not even the college that Oral Roberts runs.Seems, however, that certain of the very proper people of the older generation are as fearsome as ever that the hormones peculiar to youth might boil over before they are supposed to — whenever that is.And down in South Africa, which POACHING Québec:s CANADA Province de Québec M.R.C.de Sherbrooke Corporation municipale de la Ville de Lennoxville RÈGLEMENT NUMÉRO 278-11 Avis public pour convoquer une assemblée publique de consultation Conformément aux articles 124 et suivants de la Loi sur l'aménagement et l’urbanisme, lors d'une séance tenue le 3 août 1987, le Conseil de la Ville de Lennoxville a adopté, par résolution, le projet de règlement numéro 278-11, intitulé "Un règlement pour amender le règlement numéro 278 de la Municipalité ".Le projet de règlement prévoit modifier le plan de zonage de la ville afin que le secteur de zone CB-5 devienne le secteur de zone CD-2 et que le secteur de zone CB-6 devienne le secteur de zone CD-I.Le projet de règlement prévoit en outre les usages et les constructions permises dans les zones CD et certaines normes d’implantation dans ces zones de même que dans les secteurs de zone CB-4, CB-7 et P-7 Le projet de règlement affecte le périmètre décrit au croquis faisant partie du présent avis.Il -3 'CB-4 iO CB-?"

c.g.a.assistant-secrétaire-trésorier H.Gordon :Green in spite of its brutality to the black man, is probably the most Puritanical nation in the world, the headmistress of an exclusive girls’ school has banned the eating of peanuts and peanut butter from her school because she is certain that the peanut and its derivatives act as a sexual stimulant.And while that may protect the purity of those poor girls in her care, I’m wondering if that bit of news won’t give the peanut industry the best boost it has had in years.But even if peanut butter should eventually prove to be that aphrodisiac that jaded men have been seeking ever since men first made the mistake of becoming jaded, it wouldn’t mean that we have finally discovered the fountain of youth.No indeed.The Almighty has taken care of that it seems because now comes science, in the form of a New York heart specialist quoting a study that indicates that eight out of ten sudden deaths which happen to men during sexual relations, occur when the man is with someone other than his wife.The doctor suggests that there may be a special stress to illicit sex.A guilt complex, maybe.Another contributing factor seems to be the wining and dining with which the erring man so often begins the affair.Just one sweetly solemn thought comes to me as I read this frightening bit of news.How did that New York doctor do the research work that was necessary to make a finding like that?What sort of bugging equipment did he use?Come to think again, how in the world did that South African schoolmarm arrive at the conclusion that peanut butter did something so terribly urgent to the female love mechanism?Did anyone think to ask if she were speaking from experience?CANADA Province de Québec M.R.C.de Sherbrooke Ville de Lennoxville

Sports The RECORU—Wednesday.August 5.1987—J3 — -«sa uscora Three-game losing streak is snapped Expos win the one they needed most By Wesley Goldstein MONTREAL (CP) — It began with a burst of gross ineptitude but wound up as perhaps the Expos most important comeback victory so far this season.The Expos committed three errors to help St.Louis build a 5-0 lead after two innings Tuesday night, then stormed back to post a 10-5 National League baseball victory over the Cardinals.That left the third place Expos six games behind the frontrunning Cardinals in the East Division, and one half game behind second-place New York.“It was a very important game for us because we would have been eight games out if we lost,” said Expos outfielder Tim Raines.“And it would have left us with no chance to win this series, which we felt we had to.” Raines, batting leadoff for the first time this season, played a key role in turning things around for the Expos.He singled to spark a four-run fifth inning that put Montreal ahead and then clubbed a two-run homer his next time up in the sixth.DON’T QUIT’ “A game like this shows the kind of character we have,” Raines said.“A lot of people are expecting us to fold up, but we don’t quit.” The Expos offence provided more than enough drama for the 35,555 fans, and their tempers added some extra zest.Three sixth-inning ejections were given — Expos manager Buck Rodgers and pitchers Bryn Smith and Floyd Youmans — out by home plate umpire Tom Hal-lion.Smith said, “I just told him he was missing a good game,” while Youmans claimed all he did was “smile funny.” Smith was the first to get tossed, and then Rodgers was ejected when he came out to defend him.Youmans was sent to the clubhouse shortly afterwards.“I told Hallion that if our bench is saying things and their bench is saying things, then you must be calling one good game,” Rodgers said.The Expos were trailing 5-2 when Raines opened the fifth with a base hit.Mitch Webster and Hubie Brooks then drew walks to load the bases, before Tim Wallach drove in Raines with an infield out.SINGLES HOME Andres Galarraga singled home Webster before Vance Law drove in Brooks with another base hit off Lee Tunnell, 4-3.Galarraga also scored on the play as Cardinals third baseman Terry Pendleton made a wild throw trying to get Law going into second.The Expos then added three more in the sixth.Bob McClure, 5-1, pitched three innings of one-hit relief to get the win.Jeff Parrett worked the four perfect innings to get his fourth save.Ozzie Smith, Willie McGee and Jose Oquendo hit RBI singles, and Jim Lindeman hit a sacrifice fly, as the Cardinals jumped into a 4-0 lead in the first inning.Expos starter Neal Heaton, lasted only one-third of an inning.St.Louis added a run in the second when Randy St.Claire wild pitched Tom Lawless home from third, but Montreal got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the inning on Dave Engle’s single.Wallach hit his 17th in the eighth inning for Montreal’s final run.Jays powering their way to top of division AL roundup CHICAGO (AP) — It’s little wonder the Toronto Blue Jays are pressing the New York Yankees for the top rung in the American League East.“All I have to do is keep us in the ball game because with the team we have, we’ll explode,” said pitcher John Cerutti.Cerutti, who hasn’t lost a decision since May 16, did his part and Fred McGriff ripped two home runs Tuesday night in a 4-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox.It was the third straight triumph for the Blue Jays and pulled them within a half-game of the first-place Yankees who dropped a 14-3 decision at Cleveland.Cerutti, 7-2, was lifted in the eighth inning in favor of Tom Henke who finished for his American League-leading 24th save.“I don’t put that much emphasis on complete games, especially with the bullpen we have,” said Cerutti.“I got my breaking ball over and threw my fast ball to spots.” Cerutti is confident the Blue Jays have an excellent chance to win their division.“We have a long way to go but with the talent we have, we have a good chance to win it,” Cerutti said.“This is a good way to start a (10-game) road trip,” said Toronto manager Jimy Williams.Indians 15 Yankees 3 After being humiliated 15-3 by Cleveland Indians, the New York Yankees held a meeting to remind themselves where they stand in the American League East.“We’re a first-place ballclub,” manager Lou Piniella said Tuesday night after his team’s lead over Toronto Blue Jays dwindled to half a game.“We’re going to put this game aside and come out and play tomorrow.” In other games, it was Boston Red Sox 8 Texas Rangers 6, California Angels 12 Minnesota Twins 3, Oakland Athletics 9 Seattle Mariners 3, and Milwaukee Brewers 9 Baltimore Orioles 8 in 12 innings, Jays 4 White Sox 1 Rookie Fred McGriff hit two home runs and John Cerutti held Chicago to six hits and an unearned run in 72-3 innings, leading Toronto.Athletics 9 Mariners 3 Oakland took a 7-1 lead with five runs in the fifth with the help of two errors, three walks, a wild pitch and two-run sungles by Jose Canseco and Terry Steinbach.Royals 8 Tigers 4 Home runs by Lonnie Smith and Steve Balboni, plus a five-run fifth inning, gave Kansas City the edge.Danny Jackson, 5-13, broke his three-game losing streak with a seven-hitter.Red Sox 8 Rangers 6 Dwight Evans’ second home run of the game, a two-run shot in the ninth inning, rallied Boston.Evans hit a three-run homer in the sixth inning.Brewers 9 Orioles 8 Pinch-hitter B.J.Surhoff singled with the bases loaded and one out in the 12th inning to break a tie for Milwaukee.Baltimore tied the game in the top of the ninth when Ray Knight hit a three-run homer.Scoreboard BASEBALL St Louis New York Montreal Chicago Philadelphia Pittsburgh

settle for fourth place yet By Craig Pearson BROMONT — If you train at least six hours a day on the best horse jumping site in the world, your chances of becoming a competent rider are.needless to say.fairly high.Bromont’s Mario Deslauriers practises on any of 10 or more horses daily and has reached the "competent rider" plateau, even in the eyes of the most stringent of critics.For instance, the 22-year-old won the World Cup in Gothenburg, Sweden in 1984.He also finished fourth at the Los Angeles Olympics the same year in both team and individual categories.And he seems to be in the habit of winning many other smaller competitions, a phenomena he refers to as “not bad.” But how about the Bromont installation, set up for the 1976 Olympics in Montreal, is it of top flight calibre?"A lot of people come to show' here It's a super facility — you can't find anything better,” says Deslauriers, who rarely goes a day without riding it when he’s in town.WINNING COMBINATION With the combination of hours on end of training, excellent equestrian facilities, and — espe-cially — admirable horses.Mario Deslauriers.‘Riding is a good challenge.’ Deslauriers has structured a steel-reinforced base for his sport.But like Rome, it wasn’t built overnight.Deslauriers started riding at the very early age of three.By six he was showing horses in Bromont and Toronto and by 10 he was competing in horse jumping events.At 14 another landmark was passed by the young equestrian : he joined the junior Quebec and Canadian teams and as a result travelled to Cuba, Mexico, and, as he says, "all over the United States.” In 1983, just a year before claiming the coveted World Cup, Deslauriers competed in New York City's Madison Square Gardens.It was his first international competition.He has also participated in the Venezuelan Pan Am Games.Now Deslauriers, who married an American rider from Louisville, Kentucky in June, realizes he has to ensure a living from the sport and has decided to take up the business end of it as well He works with his father Roger, who manages the Bromont Equestrian Centre, buying and selling horses.Also, he trains other horses and gives lessons to eager youngsters.Buying horses — at least for the crafty businessman — is where the money’s at.HORSES ARE ALL IMPORTANT As Deslaurier says, “The sport is really based on the horse.The horse is at least 70 per cent” of a rider’s ability to perform well.While horses start at $5,000 or $10,000, good ones, you know, the type that not only draw oohs and ahhs but lots of bet money, can run as much as $100,000 or more.To give an idea of how much of an investment showing at an international level is, Deslauriers himself often rides as many as 10 pricey horses per competition Forfar away meets, the Bromont horseman only takes three or four steeds though he still requires three support people to help him feed, brush and generally take care of the animals which weigh up to 1,500 pounds and measure as much as 18 hands (nine feet) high, LOTS OF COMMITMENT Though commitment is great, not much could get Deslauriers to stop.In fact, probably nothing could Making a living at horseback riding "was always a dream.My dad and grandad have been in this business forever” and instilled in him the love for horses he now posasses.“I think riding is a good challenge.It's a nice sport and you get to show at nice places," he says.Though he does admit, "You’ve got to be very patient.When the horse gets hurt it 's really frustrating to show — it takes really good horses and if your best one is hurt then you might as well not even go." STAYING HOME But travelling to compete is not the only thing that interests the local equestrian.After competing at the Mont Bruno horse show next week, he'll be back in Bromont to compete in the annual Bromont Horse Show, Aug.14 to 16.As many as 300 horses and 200 riders will jump, turn and race for the finish at the Bromont Olympic site in 44 classes.Deslauriers estimates more than a 1,000 spectators will be on hand to watch toip Quebec and Canadian talent.But he says by next year, as a result of efforts of his father and another organizer Jean Fabi, many American riders will also take part.It's part of project to make the show even more prestigious for a few years after the the Olympics."It’s going to be a good show and I think it’s going to get bigger every year,” he says.And how are Deslaurier’s chances at the show?Well, not bad, he says with a grin.“My horses know the place.I ride them there every day and 1 hope they’re going to do good there.” After that, it’s the 1988 Olympics.This time, Deslauriers says he doesn’t want to settle for fourth place.Dawson takes advantage of last-minute swing By The Associated Press The Pittsburgh Pirates made a mistake by allowing their game against the Chicago Cubs to go into extra innings — they allowed Andre Dawson to get another at-bat.Dawson, previously homerless this season against Pittsburgh, hit his 32nd home run of the season in the 11th inning to give Chicago a 3-2 National League victory Tuesday.Dawson’s homer equaled his career high set in 1983 with Montreal Expos, and he now has a league-high 93 RBIs.Dawson, hitless in eight previous at-bats in the series, was batting .163 against the Pirates at the time with no homers and three RBI.“I wasn’t thinking home run, but I was concentrating on hitting the ball hard and I got a pitch I could handle,” Dawson said.In other games, it was Montreal 10 St.Louis Cardinals 5, New York Mets 5 Philadelphia Phillies 3, Cincinnati Reds 10 Los Angeles Dodgers 4, Houston Astros 5 San Francisco Giants 4, and Atlanta Braves 12 San Diego Padres 7.Expos 10 Cardinals 5 Tim Raines singled to spark a four-run fifth inning and hit a two-run homer in the sixth as Montreal rallied from a five-run deficit to beat St.Louis.Mets 5 Phillies 3 Dwight Gooden pitched six-hit NL roundup ball for eight innings and struck out a season-high 11 for New York.Gooden, 9-3, walked three and the strikeouts marked the 33rd time he has been in double figures in his career, but only the second time in 13 starts this year.Reds 10 Dodgers 4 Bo Diaz continued his hot hitting against Los Angeles, driving in four runs with a pair of homers to pace Cincinnati.Diaz hit a solo homer in the second inning and a three-run homer in the fifth.Diaz is hitting .429 with four homers and 11 doubles against the Dodgers this season.Astros 5 Giants 4 Glenn Davis’ two-out infield single in the eighth inning scored pinch-runner Buddy Biancalana and gave Houston the edge.Braves 12 Padres 7 Ken Oberkfell drove in four runs and Dale Murphy added a three-run homer, leading Atlanta over San Diego despite seven runs batted in by John Kruk.Kruk had three-run homers in the first and ninth innings and a run-scoring single in the fifth Scuffing ball is defended ARLINGTON, Tex.(AP) — Texas Rangers pitcher Charlie Hough defended fellow knuckle-bailer Joe Niekro of the Minnesota Twins, who was ejected from a game Monday when an emery board was found in his back pocket during the game.“It’s a common practice for knuckleball pitchers to carry them,” Hough said prior to Tuesday’s game against the Boston Red Sox.“I carry one all the time.But 1 carry it in my cap, not in my pocket where it might get wet.” In the fourth inning of the Twins’ game against California, home plate umpire Tim Tschida and second base umpire Dave Palermo ordered Niekro to emp- ty his pockets and an emery board was found.Niekro was immediately ejected.Hough said the emery board is necessary to file the fingernails down to the proper length and to smooth any rough spots on the skin of the fingertips.“You can’t cut up a ball with an emery board,” said Hough, who then took a board out of his cap and vigorously worked over a baseball with it.“It doesn’t do anything to the ball at all.” “Now this,” Hough said, bending down and rubbing the ball on the cinders of the warning track, “is a different matter altogether.“Anyway, if I wanted to cut a ball up, I’d have someone else do it for me, like the catcher on his equipment.” Keenen happy with Day No.1 for Team Canada Gwynn, SO Guerrero.LA Raines.Mil Galraga.Mtt Davis.Gin James.At!

contract terms By Terry Scott MONTREAL (CP) — If the first day of training camp on Tuesday was an indication, lack of physical conditioning won’t be a factor in Team Canada’s bid to retain hockey’s Canada Cup.“For the first morning of workouts, I’m extremely pleased,” said head coach Mike Keenan, who had 35 of the 36 players sweating through skating and puck-handling drills.Doug Lid-ster, the Canucks defenceman enlisted to replace the injured Kevin Lowe, arrived from Vancouver and did not join his teammates until the afternoon practice session.“The tempo was very high,” Keenan, the Philadelphia Flyers coach, continued.“The players had to be in very good condition to maintain that type of practice.“It’s an indication of their commitment prior to arriving here.” It may also have something to do with the fact that many of the players haven’t had time to get out of shape.Of the 36 players, there are six from the Flyers and five from the Edmonton Oilers, the two Stanley Cup finalists, whose National Hockey League season ended May 31.The competition starts today, when Keenan and assistant coaches Jean Perron, John Muckier and Tom Watt will put the players through scrimmages, experimenting with defence pairings and line combinations.SPEED VITAL “Today was just to give them a feel for the ice again,” Keenan said of Tuesday’s two sessions, each of which lasted about 80 minutes and included 3-on-2s and various skating drills.“I think there was good speed and flow in the drills, and there will be constant emphasis on that throughout the camp.” When it was suggested to Keenan the team might have too many small forwards, he countered by naming Mark Messier, Rick Toc-chet, Cam Neely and the two Lemieux — Mario and Claude “They’re all 200 pounds or more, so I don’t think we have that many small forwards.We have a good combination.” Keenan stressed that no cuts will be made prior to the pretournament games, which start Sunday against the Canadian Olympic team at Sydney, N.S.Starting Aug 13, Team Canada plays Team USA four times in one week, and it is in this stretch that Keenan and his staff will start trimming the roster, which must be at 23 players prior to the Aug.28 tournament opener.Meanwhile, players have their pride on the line in competition with top-calibre colleagues.“I don’t worry about it,” said Wendel Clark, the gifted Toronto Maple Leafs forward who, at 20, is the youngest player on the Team Canada roster.“You just go out and work hard and may the better man win.B22-4141 TILDEN porru.• movino nucu WtCXEMD «PtcuaxH ¦cxmuB»

and time of the year their families and friends were unable to attend.The evening was spent in visiting, enjoying watching the children have a ball, and dancing to the music of John Foster from Ayer’s Cliff.During intermission, Cliff’s brothers, Doug and Roy, with sister-in-law Louise, and some friends, put on a “skit” of a “Mock Wedding”.This event had given Eileen, Cliff’s mom many hours of fun, as she organized the ceremony.The wedding party included “Mistress of Ceremonies”, Doug Perkins, who looked smashing in a white and paisley balloon legged jump suit and wore a yellow picture hat adorned with roses.He surprised Cliff and Teresa by telling them they had only given us six hours notice of their upcoming wedding back in 1983 ; we were only giving them six seconds to get ready for this one, as they would be taking part in reversed roles.Cliff was then dressed up as the “Bride” and Teresa the “Groom”.Doug introduced the rest of the wedding party.The “Parson”, Audrey Millar in a black choir gown and hat with red ribbons, tried to restore a bit of order, as a near riot ensued when others appeared in the doorway.The “Bride”, Over the Cliff Jack Perkins, looked lovely in an offwhite wedding gown, wearing Louise’s veil and headdress, and carrying a rolling pin, was supported up the aisle by “Dad”, Friendly Freda Patterson, who was appropriately dressed in a black lounging suit, cowboy hat and a large checked tie and "Mom”, Maintenance Man, Chuck Nixon, veiled to hide her great distress at the pending loss of her baby son to the state of matrimony, wailed constantly, but looked lovely in a red and black short dress, high heeled shoes, black hat and large veil.Her red purse and baggy nylons were an added attraction to her attire."Groom”, Threedy Reedy, Teresa, wore overalls, men’s work boots, Mexican hat, and carried a pitch fork.She jogged up to the front on the arm of “Dad”, Hog Slopping Hebert, Louise Perkins, who was dressed to the teeth for the occasion, overalls, chore hat, rubber boots, large polkadot tie, and toting a 410 shot gun and “Mom”, Pencil Pushing Roy Perkins, who stunned everyone in her oversized overblouse dress of bright orange (which was well filled), sneakers, blond wig, floppy hat of bright blue and pink cape.She carried a fly swatter.No wedding is complete without a “bridesmaid”, and he, she.Milk Sampling.Peter Boersen, tripped up to the front wearing a red down to the bottom neckline dress, a brown wig, wide picture hat (his wife’s wedding hat) and carried a bouquet of raddish.“Flower Girl ”, Tip Toeing Through The Tulips, Trenholm Nelson, really stole the show, and delighted all by tripping up, stopping to bestow kisses of affection on a couple of unsuspecting male friends, and sprinkling confetti and balloons along the way.She was carrying them in a grape basket, and as her attire, wore a multi coloured brown gown, white knee socks and pink and red barretts in her curly locks.The “Ring Bearer”, Moose John Patterson, two-stepped through the doorway and was real cute-looking in his red shorts, bow tie, white shirt, cowboy hat and appropriately carrying a noose, and ball and chain, which was to be used as symbols for the couple about to tie the “knot”.After some of the commotion had died down, the Parson proceeded to conduct the actual ceremony.“Fun vows”, were exchanged by Cliff and Teresa and a bit of distur- bance was caused when the preacher asked if anyone had just cause for the “entrapment” of the “Bride”, Cliff, and an old neighbour Lisa Coddington appeared out of the crowd and offered to take him off Teresa’s hands — thus “Paw”, Louise, had to restore a bit of order, by brandishing his shot gun and telling the Parson to get on with it.Cliff and Teresa had by this time recovered a bit from the surprise and were enjoying the hilarity of it all and he added a bit of his own humour to the skit.They then led the “gang” along with others, in the quadrille “Grand March”, with Steve Perkins doing the calling of changes.Lunch was served by family and friends.Many pictures were taken throughout the evening.The couple were recipients of lovely gifts, currency and a cake made by Cliff’s aunt, Thelma Fowler.Special guests included Teresa’s mom and dad.Bill, Marg Reedy, from Utica, Detroit, Michigan, Cathy, Rob, Jody, Chrissy Annett, friends from Cumberland, Ontario, and Roy, Muriel, Stephen, Angela Perkins, Cornwall, Ontario.All spent a few days visiting at the homes of Steve, Eileen, Doug and Louise.Giroux family reunion held STANSTEAD — On Saturday, July 25, approximately 60 members of the Giroux family, descendants of Nellie Andrews Green Giroux and Otto Giroux, held a reunion at Christ Church Hall in Stans-tead.Sisters with their husbands, one brother and his wife, their children and grandchildren, plus inlaws, cousins, nieces and nephews, came from as far away as Burnaby, B.C., and Hartford, Connecticut, to visit with family members they hadn’t seen for, in some cases, 15 years.It was great fun, when each family arrived, to greet the familiar faces of relatives, to meet their spouses, and to meet the younger children for, in some instances, the first time.The weather was warm and sunny, which enabled the adults to sit out on the lawn and renew old acquaintances, and the children to meet each other and play together.It was a great photo opportunity, and before long the shutters were clicking furiously.A photo was taken of the entire group, and then each family was photographed separately, so that family albums could be made to commemorate this event.Pictures were also taken of each of the generations, the sisters and brother in one group, the nieces and nephews in another, and then all the grandchildren.After an afternoon of visiting, the family enjoyed a superb meal, co-ordinated by Mrs.Nellie Kezar and Mrs.Ruby Batchelor, along with the invaluable assistance of Nellie’s daughter Barbara Hospes.Flowers from Ruby’s garden decorated the tables, and everyone dug in to mounds of food that had been prepared by Ruby, Nellie and Barbara, and also brought by the family members.There was plenty of everything, and many people had plates of food to bring home at the end of the evening.After the meal, Michael Hevey proposed a toast to Ruby and Nellie for their generosity in organizing this reunion, and all heartily applauded.The highlight of the evening was a slide show put on by Stephen Giroux.Stephen showed slides taken by his late father Darold, which dated back to the '50s.It was great fun to see pictures of the immediate family, and the nieces and nephews at very young ages, and to try to guess who was in each picture.Each family was represented in the slide show, which was especially nice as it seemed to make up for the members who could not be there in person.The slides of Darold himself, as well as those of “Grammy”, “Grampy”, and “Uncle Jim” Batchelor, were especially touching, and brought back fond memories of them.When the show was over, everyone applauded and thanked Stephen for the great job he had done.After more visiting in the cool evening air, the families started heading home with many pleasant memories of old friends met and new friends made.Bilingual congregations worshipping in United Church In an historic break from the past, one of the oldest English congregations in the United Church is sharing its ministry with a congregation of francophone Protestants in Quebec City, writes Mike Milne in the August issue of The United Church Observer.Chalmers-Wesley United Church, an historic site in Quebec City, and the new Saint-Pierre congregation of L’Eglise Unie du Canada, held a bilingual Easter service together this year and are now worshipping jointly in the same building.“We think this is a first in the province,” says Rev.Donald Rab-son, longtime minister of Chalmers-Wesley.“Here are two congregations, working side by side, French and English, without competition and in team with each other.And that’s our objective.” Sharing a Protestant ministry grows out of a United Church effort to “reach out in French to thousands of unchurched Protestant and Catholic francophones,” writes Milne.It is also a recognition of the “French cultural fact.” The French congregation, originally a handful of francophones who attended the mostly English services at Chalmers-Wesley, has now grown into a worshipping community of 20 or 30 since the arrival of Rev.Etienne Rochat, a French-speaking pastor from Switzerland.“He has the challenge of helping the congregation find its way, and, in an area where to be Protestant is often to be anti-Catholic and funda-mentalist, to find a middle ground,” writes Milne.Items required for Children’s Day Camp
