Bourassa to choose his cabinet QUEBEC (CP) — When Premier Robert Bourassa reveals his new cabinet in the provincial legislature today, it will likely look very similar to his old one.There were five vacant cabinet positions when the Liberals were elected to a second huge majority last month but all the remaining 22 ministers, including Bourassa, were re-elected.Observers say most of Bouras-sa’s top guns are expected to keep their old jobs: Gerard D.Levesque as finance minister, Daniel Johnson as Treasury Board president, Gil Remillard as justice minister and Claude Ryan as education minister.But there will likely be some new faces as well as several old faithful filling different positions.Among the new faces Quebec is likely to have in its cabinet are those of several anglophones.That has been the most obvious hole to fill since four ministers resigned last December after the government passed legislation which continued the ban on outdoor commercial signs in languages other than French.LACKS DEPTH But Bourassa didn’t get the depth in anglophone members that he anticipated after the pro-English rights Equality party unexpectedly! took four anglophone— and usually safe Liberal — seats Sept.25, including those of at least two cabinet hopefuls.It is almost certain that Sam Elkas, a popular former mayor of a Montreal suburb, will get the nod, probably in the direction of the Municipal Affairs Department, although many had him pegged for the delicate environment job.Another anglophone who can hope for a cabinet position is newcomer Russell Williams.The one major portfolio the premier has to fUl — the mammoth, and recently strike-plagued, Health and Social Services Department, which was vacated when Therese Lavoie-Roux decided not to run again — will likely stay with a cabinet veteran.(S il SUNNY ZA1A AUDET SHERBROOKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Wednesday, October 11,1989 40 cents Former federal cabinet minister denounces project James Bay II to cause major environmental damage?GREAT WHALE RIVER, Que.(CP) — The second phase of the mammoth James Bay hydroelectric project could cause major environmental damage that the provincial government is ignoring, say a former federal cabinet minister and a geologist working for Hydro Quebec.The water diversion project is “an environmental Frankenstein, ’ ’ said former Liberal environment minister Charles Caccia during a recent four-day tour of Cree communities and Hydro-Quebec installations in northern Quebec.“It has the ability to destroy the lifestyle of people in this area to the advantage of people in another area,” he told a Cree community in Wemindji, Que., 1,000 kilometres northwest of Montreal.Caccia, who is now Liberal environment critic, said if he had his old job back the federal government would try and stop the project.“We would have the power to make (Premier Robert) Bouras-sa's life as miserable as possible and I would love to do that.” Caccia and Jean-Francois Rou-gerie, a Hydro-Quebec geologist whose job it is to assess the probable environmental effects of one of the proposed dams, criticized Bourassa’s refusal to hold environmental impact hearings before work starts.“We’ve got a premier who’s sold on electricity,” Rougerie said in an interview with the Montreal Gazette in this isolated community on the eastern shore of Hudson Bay.“There should be a public debate (on Quebec’s energy policy).They have public debates elsewhere in the world — in Europe, the United States, even in Ontario.But we don't have them here.” Rougerie said the premier and Quebec Energy Minister John Ciaccia try to make the giant hydro utility adopt their personal philosophies as policy.“We’re getting orders from the premier and the minister of energy saying, ‘This is my issue, economic development through hydroelectricity.’” Hydro Quebec wants to complete the dam on the Great Whale River, one of the main dam complexes in the $7.5 billion Phase 2 of the James Bay project, by 1S)94.It is to start building the access road next summer.The entire project will dam and divert four major rivers entering James Bay, flooding 3,300 square kilometres of traditional Cree land to produce power mainly for export.DAMAGE ANIMALS Caccia said the projects will da mage nesting and feeding grounds for birds and animals, cause local climatic changes and result in mercury poisoning of fish — “all of that just to generate power for a hungry consumer that is not even in Canada." Caccia was joined on the tour by NDP MP Robert Skelly.The Vancouver Island MP also slamed the megaproject.“They have grossly undervalued the people whose lives they are destroying and the land they are destroying.That’s the only way — through false economics — that anyone can consider these projects feasible.” Rougerie said Ottawa also has a responsibility to assess the environmental impact of the dams.“We’ve been convinced for a long time that there’s a federal role here but the province keeps saying no." Newfoundland threatens to rescind support: Anti-Meech fire is being fueled By Donald McKenzie QUEBEC (CP) — Newfoundland’s threat to rescind its support for the Meech Lake constitutional accord could provide additional “fireworks” in the Quebec legislature when it is recalled next month, Opposition Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau said Tuesday “When the house comes back on Nov.21, we’ll know quite a few things about Meech,” said Parizeau, referring to a Nov.9-10 first ministers conference on the economy, at which Meech Lake will also be discussed.Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells said last week he will withdraw his province’s approval of the agreement if there is no movement at the conference to change the wording of the accord.Joe Clark: Wells, who is notably opposed to a provision in Meech which recognizes Quebec as a distinct society, has given the pro-independence PQ more political ammunition and put more pressure on Premier Robert Bourassa, Parizeau said.“I don’t think he (Wells) ever imagined he’d give me a present but I look at what he’s saying and in a sense, I relish the impressions that I get.Yes, indeed.” The accord, which must be ratified by all provinces by next June, has yet to be approved by Manitoba and New Brunswick.As well as recognizing Quebec as a distinct society, the pact would grant provinces new powers in such areas as spending and the appointment of Supreme Court judges and set up a process for Senate reform.Parizeau said the Nov.21 date for reconvening the legislature is “interesting,” because bills tabled after Nov.15 cannot become law before Christmas without the consent of all 125 legislature members.“If the government withdraws from presenting legislation, it will have to go through a 25-hour debate on the inaugural address and that might imply some rather remarkable fireworks,” Parizeau said after the first meeting of the 29-member PQ caucus.He said the PQ will also use its role as Opposition in the legislature to defend the French language and stress the importance of promoting its use in the workplace.The Liberals won 92 seats in the Sept.25 election and the Equality party four.No more sanctions for S.Africa By Dan Leger OTTAWA (CP) — Canada won’t propose new sanctions against South Africa at the Commonwealth summit this month because they would likely do more to hurt Canadian interests than to dent apartheid, External Affairs Minister Joe Clark said Tuesday.Clark, briefing reporters on the eve of a four-country tour by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, said Canada has concluded that other countries aren’t likely to join a drive for new sanctions.And Clark, who insisted that “Canada has put its money where its mouth is” when it comes to fighting apartheid, said the value of using sanctions must be balanced against the effects they have on the home country.South Africa, apartheid and sanctions to combat the race-separation system in that country figure to be prominent items on the agenda of the summit later this month in Malaysia.Leaders of the 49-member organization are to discuss develop- ments in South Africa and to consider a report on apartheid which re-commends ways of increasing pressure on Pretoria to dismantle it.Although Clark said trade between Canada and South Africa has been cut from historical levels, his own department has issued figures recently which show trade between the two countries is up from last year’s levels.Clark said any increase in trade between the two countries is likely due to trade in goods and services not covered by existing Canadian sanctions, expecially in so-called strategic minerals used to make steel and other products.“A government that would introduce sanctions has to measure on the one hand the effect of such sanctions on South Africa against on the other hand the effect of those sanctions in Canada,” he said.“There’s no doubt that were we to bring in a series of sanctions with respect to strategic minerals it would have a very profound effect in Canada, particularly in the steel industry, and probably not much effect in South Africa.SOME EFFECT Clark said some of the Commonwealth and Canadian actions are having an effect on the South African government, which he said seems to be taking a more even-handed approach to recent protests against its race-separation laws.Also on Tuesday, the South African government announced it was freeing some prominent jailed anti-apartheid activists, although the best-known black leader, Nelson Mandela, will remain in prison.RRCORIWOHN TOI ! 11 SKIT)

Cumberland Drugs Ltd.was fined $1,000 in Quebec Court on Tuesday for selling over-the-counter reading glasses.Quebec Court Judge Gerard Gi-rouard ruled that the sale of non-prescription reading glasses contravenes Quebec’s Professional Code, which states that only certified optometrists are allowed to sell and prescribe corrective lenses Non-prescription glasses have been sold in areas of Canada and the United States for nearly a decade.Cumberland Drugs introduced them about a year ago and immediately ran into opposition from the Quebec Order of Optometrists.The cut-rate glasses, priced at $8 to $25.are advertised as an aid for people over 40 whose short-range vision is declining.During the trial last summer, Pierre Simonet, a professor of optometry at the University of Montreal, said consumers do not have the necessary training to evaluate their own vision.Simonet said ready-made glasses, mounted in frames, fit the description of “corrective” lenses \ under the professional code.LITTLE RISK Referring to expert testimony, Girouard noted that a wrong choice of non-prescription glasses could cause discomfort but there was no risk of harm through limited use.However, he rejected Cumberland's contention that the rea ding glasses should be exempt from the code — as are magnifying glasses, binoculars and telescopes — because they are “not intended to relieve or correct defective vision.” Girouard said the glasses were not exempt because they fit the description of apparatus to “aid” vision.The ruling is not expected to halt sales of the glasses, which has now spread to other drug firms.William Atkinson, a lawyer acting for the drugstore chain, said Cumberland probably will appeal the fine, and has 30days in which to do it.Pierre Labelle, a lawyer for the optometrists, said there is nothing further optometrists can do to curb sales until their legality is decided definitely, probably by a higher court LINDSAY, Ont.(CP) — A doomsday cult leader who calls himself Moses was sentenced to 12 years in prison Tuesday for gruesome attacks on a follower that included the crude amputation of one of her arms.Roch Theriault, 42, and three followers surprised a bail hearing by pleading guilty to charges arising from a series of attacks on Ga-brielle Lavallee last August at a central Ontario commune.Theriault and another cult member fled the Ant Hill Kids commune near Burnt River, Ont., but were captured last week near the commune about 100 kilometres northeast of Toronto.Police said Lavallee broke her arm in a fight at the commune.It was improperly set and developed gangrene and was cut off with a dull knife.She was given only brandy as an anesthetic.Theriault pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was sentenced to 10 years for the amputation.He got a concurrent three-year term for his attempt to cauterize the wound using a steel rod heated with welding equipment.PULLED TEETH Theriault also received a one-year sentence for aggravated as- sault for using pliers to pull teeth and gum tissue out of Lavallee’s mouth in November 1988.And he was sentenced to a year for criminal negligence causing bodily harm for breaking the cast on La vallee’s injured finger in December 1988.Other members of the commune pleaded guilty Tuesday to aggra vated assault for helping Theriault hold Lavallee down while he caute rized the arm

a complaint from an Ottawa woman who was ordered off a bus for refusing to remove a bottle from her baby’s mouth.Donna Gribben, 21, said she was boarding an OC Transpo bus on Friday when the bus driver told her that feeding her 22-month-old daughter Abra-Lyne from a bottle violated a bylaw that prohibits eating or drinking on city buses.“I was stunned because I had never heard of that.I thought he was joking,” said Gribben.“He was not courteous about it at all.He was rude.” Gribben said she refused to take the bottle out of her daughter's mouth and walked to the back of the bus amid the cries of other bus riders urging the bus driver to continue on his route.Wayne Cooney, director of operations for OC Transpo, said the driver should have used more common sense.“It’s one of those things where you leave it up to somebody and they've made a bad decision,” said Cooney.“I feel sad that someone would have performed this kind of thing.” OC Transpo will investigate the matter internally, said Cooney.Union president Randy Graham said that as far as he luiows, the driver was enforcing normal regulations.He would not comment fur- ther until he has spoken to the driver.But another bus driver said ma nagement’s response that the dri- ver should have used his discrete is a sign that management does n support the drivers when they ti to enforce bylaws Victoria Cross arrives OTTAWA (CP) — A Victoria Cross medal bought by the Canadi; War Museum has finally arrived in Ottawa and will go on disph Thursday.The Battle of Vimy medal, awarded posthumously in 1917 to PI William Milne, was acquired in July by the Canadian War Museum a public auction in England.The $94,000 purchase price was donah by the public.Milne had been a member of the Canadian Expeditionary Force the First World War.Before the medal could be sent to Canada, the British cultural pr perties review board had to ensure it was not an irreplaceable nation artifact. RECORD JOHN TOLLEFSRUD 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, October 11, 1989 The Townships t »__fo-i HBcom ‘The situation isn’t ideal but it’s improving’ Transport Quebec works to protect roads and drivers from overloaded trucks By John Tollefsrud DEAUVILLE - Though trucks cause road damage thousands of times greater than cars, truck drivers in the Eastern Townships are mindful of the rules and generally respect legal load limits, says an official with Transport Quebec.“What does the most damage to the road network are overweight trucks and the thaw period,” Yvon Gilbert said Tuesday in an interview at the Deauville weigh station off the Eastern Townships autoroute.Gilbert said weigh-station have three objective: road safety for all users, protection of the road network and giving due consideration to the economic spinoffs of maintaining effective truck transport.He said there are problems with truck traffic in Quebec but qualified his criticism.“The situation isn’t ideal but it’s improving.” OVERWEIGHT LOADS According to a transport ministry chart, a fully-loaded 10-wheel wSs.zMmamz.& mm.w* P ' 'Kfv m Yvon Gilbert of the Quebec transport ministry shows a diagram revealing the physics behind the truck-weight rules.Weight limits on each axle are designed to protect the road surface while limits on the total truck weight are intended to safeguard bridges.‘Two people testified.One of them lied’ Judge slices up a speed story COWANSVILLE (JM) — Quebec Court Judge Claude Léveillé wasn’t impressed by the testimony of Donald Blinn during his defence on a Highway Code trial of dangerous driving back in March 1988.Crown attorney Henry Key-serlingk managed to have RCMP Const.Brian Cummings released from the Mountie stables in Roc-kliffe, Ont., to testify as his only prosecution witness.Cummings, now a member of the RCMP Musical Ride, was attached to Bedford detachment when he chased Blinn on March 11, 1988.Cummings told the court he saw a car moving at well above the posted speed limit in Bedford, and followed it east on Route 202 to Ridge Road, always at speeds above the limits.He said he finally managed to recognize Blinn when he got out at a house at 30 des Sapins Street.NO SIREN OR LIGHTS He told the court he didn’t use a siren or lights from his unmarked car, and wasn’t able to approach Blinn although he was driving at least 140 kilometres an hour.He said Blinn was the only occupant of the car he tailed.Under questioning by defence lawyer Donald Bissonnette, Cummings said he had 15 years experience including SVi with the RCMP.He said he was not technically trained to state whether his patrol car had a “police package” or whether the speedometer was calibrated.“When the speedometer is at 140 kilometres you know you’ve passed it and when your heart starts pounding, you know you’re driving fast,” Cummings told the defence.“Is your heart pounding fast now?” Bissonnette asked.An objection to that question by Key-serlingk was upheld by Judge Léveillé.Blinn testified that he remembered driving from Bedford to the address mentioned by Cummings the same day and within the same time frame.But he denied looking in his mirror or exceeding any speed limits, and told the court the only time he saw the Mountie was in the yard of his pals’ house when Cummings asked for identification.NO DANGER?In a motion to quash the charge, Bissonnette argued that the Crown had not proven any danger with oncoming vehicles, and in short had no proof of any danger to the public.Prosecutor Keyserlingk rebutted, saying that due to the potential risks created through excessive speed under the Highway Code, speeding in itself amounts to dangerous driving.“You have had almost a litany of charges against you in the past,” the Crown told Blinn during his brief cross-examination.Blinn admitted to several previous court cases, but said he had no prior convictions for dangerous driving.“Two people testified.One of them lied and it wasn’t Mr.Cummings,” Judge Léveillé said in summing up his ruling.He convicted Blinn, handing down the minimum fine of $300, and allowed the accused six months delay to pay.She spent the winters in Florida Community work for welfare fraud COWANSVILLE (JM) —Yvonne Lévesque-Gauthier got a handful when she appeared for sentencing recently on charges of welfare fraud totalling slightly more than $49,000.Lévesque-Gauthier was handed a three year suspended sentence, ordered to perform 750 hours of community work within one year, and to repay the provincial government $3600 during her probation.The court considers 180 hours of community work to be the equivalent of six months in jail.Thérèse Montpetit appeared on an identical charge totalling $21,238 over a six year span.f I__£21 tfecora Randy Kinnear, Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Schelb, Advertising Manager.569-9525 Richard Leasard, Production Manager.569-9931 Mark Gulllette, Press Superintendent .569-9931 Guy Renaud, Graphics.569-4856 Francine Thibault, Composition.569-9931 CIRCULATION DEPT.819-569-9528 KNOWLTON OFF.: 514-243-0088 FAX: (819) !

Claude Hamann, told the court she had no prior record and he had attempted to negotiate a settlement with the province.Crown attorney Henry Keyserlingk argued her case was more serious as she had spent the winter months in Florida at the expense of the taxpayers.“A member of the family cashed her cheques while she was absent," Keyserlingk said.Hamann rebutted that the presentence report clearly indicated that Montpetit’s handicapped sister paid for her stay, assisting her through bleak periods.He admitted that Montpetit’s mother cashed the cheques and held the funds for her return to Canada.Judge Claude Léveillé accepted the defence argument, suspended his sentence for three years, then ordered the accused to perform 500 hours of community work within one year, and to repay Quebec $3600 at $100 per month during her probation.dumptruck has 42,900 times more impact on the road than a midsize car.Fines for overweight loads equal about 10 per cent of the extra weight.A load exceeding its truck-class limit by 23,999 kilos will result in a $2400 fine.The maximum allowable total load for trucks is 57,500 kilograms.Even given the damage trucks cause to roads, Gilbert rejected the suggestion the fines are somewhat low.He defended the fines, adding an accompanying demerit-point system aimed at truckers and their operating companies keeps infractions low.Of an estimated 3500 trucks which pass through the Deauville station each week, only between eight and 15 have loads which exceed their respective limits, Gilbert said.He explained the number of infractions double during the time of year when thaw forces road surfaces to contract or expand.Because of the thaw, truck load limits are substantially reduced.For example, a standard doubleaxle trailer truck with a length between axles of 2.4 metres or more is allowed a load of 20,000 kilograms per axle during the nonthaw period.During the thaw period the same load maximum is reduced by 20 per cent, to 16,000 kilos per axle.AXLE LOCATION Load limits also vary according to type of truck and the positioning of axles.Generally, the shorter the distance between axles, the less weight allowed.“The distance between axles is very important,” Gilbert said.A 16-year veteran of the trans- port ministry, Gilbert is regional head of weigh-station control (contrôle routier).He is responsible for the Deauville and Ascot weigh stations along with three more in the Three Rivers area.While load limits have been the same for as long as Gilbert can remember, things are changing in his field.At Sand Hill, a new weighing system is being installed where five scales to replace the single scale now commonly used.The new method will weigh the total load instead of each axle separately.“The multi point scale is part of the policy of the transport ministry to better control the weight of trucks on the road,” said Lauréat Thériault from the Ascot weigh-station construction site of which he is chief government engineer.Like Gilbert, Thériault agreed thaw weighs heavily in road damage.But he also said there is a need for more inspections of trucks which drive through the Sherbrooke area.“We know that the num ber of stations are insufficient for the Sherbrooke approach,” the hard-hatted Thériault said.STREAM OF TRUCKS Tuesday at the Deauville station, truck weigher Réjean Bolduc kept tabs on a steady but reasonable stream of trucks which entered the weigh station.Bolduc operates the computer which automatically registers the weight of each axle as truck drivers position their vehicle’s wheels on the paved-over scale.Waving through empty trucks — discerned by the appearance of the tires and the speed of acceleration — Bolduc operates a traffic-light system of communicating with the truck drivers.When all the axle loads have been registered, the green light signals the driver to leave.When the truck weight exceeds the unwritten 1000-kilogram error margin allowed, Bolduc flags the trucker to enter the parking lot for examination of permits.Special permits allow for excess loads to be hauled.“I’ve worked here since March and I really love my work,” Bolduc said.“The truck drivers are always very polite, even when they’re stopped.” In Gilbert’s own 16 years of supervising weigh stations he’s seen few conflicts between truckers and government workers.“At the beginning of the weight regulations, when we gave the fines, there were some verbal arguments but never anything physical,” he said.Today provincial police levy the fines and work with the weigh station operators.Rules and load limits vary from province to province and state to state but Gilbert said those of Quebec and Ontario are similar.Weigh stations here operate between 16 and 24 hours a day year-round.Gilbert ended the interview on an optimistic note, saying effective control of truck traffic on Quebec roads will only improve as municipal authorities join in the effort already being made by the transport ministry and police.“If we look at how trucking companies and municipalities are co-operating, the situation is pretty good.” Preventing car theft is the aim of a new program organized by local police, the Belair insurance company and Couvre-sieges Sherbrooke Inc.The group has organized a free service to engrave car windows with an identification number to disourage theft.Above, Martial Racine marks cars in several diffe- Khl'ORD PERRY BEATON rent places, to discourage theft and make sale ofparts more difficult.Couvre-sieges Sherbrooke is donating the engraving equipment as well as a spotfor police to do the work.Anyone interested can have their car marked at 175 Quatre Pins between 8:30 a.m.and 5 p.m.on Oct.11, 18 and 25 as well as Nov.8.Port would refuse to clean oil spill By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — A Port of Montreal official candidly told a federal inquiry into oil spills Tuesday that port authorities will not start to clean up a spill in the harbor until they find out who will pay for it.“It’s always a question of cost,” Dea Hassib, captain of the port, told the travelling inquiry on tanker safety and marine spills.An oil spill in the port on the weekend provided a dramatic backdrop to the inquiry and Hassib’s description of the slow response to the spill caused inquiry chairman David Brander-Smith to slap his table in disgust.Hassib said the bunker oil, estimated by Environment Canada at 15 tonnes, came from a Brazilian cargo ship Thursday night but was not reported until Friday morning.Hassib said oil booms were set up right away.At 5 p.m.on Friday there was a meeting of Environment Canada, port and ship officials, and the lawyer acting for the ship admitted the oil came from the ship.It was not until Saturday morning, more than 24 hours after the spill was reported, that a contractor arrived to clean up oil patches, by this time stretched out over six kilometres of harbor.Hassib said.“I won’t start a cleanup until I find out who will pay for it,” said Hassib.“It’s very complicated” to prove a ship responsible for a spill.Taking samples and analyzing them takes four or five days and if it goes to trial, three or four years.YOUR BABY’ “If I don’t have a culprit, I tell Environment Canada, ‘It’s your baby,”’ Hassib said.Weather A chance of showers Wednesday morning, becoming sunny in the afternoon with a high of 13.Thursday there’s an even slighter chance of showers.Doonesbury PETER, IT WOULP APPEAR.A TERRIBLE MISTAKE HAS BEEN MADE ! TPIE> IS NO HOUSE OF CRACK ! fi “That’s the dilemma we’re faced with,” he said adding that “the port’s mandate is to be commercial.” Hassib said medium-sized spills such as last Thursday’s, which will cost between $100,000 and $150,000 to clean up, happen all the time.However, if there was a major oil spill, “I wouldn’t worry about who would pay for it, we’d have a blank cheque from the government.” The inquiry was told that in the last decade there were 307 polluting accidents on the St.Lawrence River and Seaway, which stretches 1,600 kilometres from the Gulf of St.Lawrence to Lake Ontario.Commissioner Denise Therrien said that 73 per cent of them were the result of human error and 10 per cent could be blamed on mechanical breakdowns.BY GARRY TRUDEAU IT IS RATHER THE HOME OF RE -PREP SCHOOLTEACHER ST KIEIN > KLEIN IS FURIOUS1 HE IS YELLING AT THE OFFICER IN CHARGE1 HE IS SWEARING OBSCENITIES^ LIVE, INTO OUR MIKE' ft HE IS NOW A TELEPHONE 7 PICKING UP 6ET0UT0F WHAT APPEARS THERE, ROLUE ‘ TO BE A TELE - FORGOPSSAKF PHONE, PETER.GET OUT!

campaign issues Mike Sudlow.Preserving parkland is an environmental issue.By Ann McLaughlin LENNOXVILLE — Green or environmental politicians may have only made a slight dent during the provincial election, but the same issues are being kept alive during municipal campaigns.So far two potential town councillors in Lennoxville are running for office in the Nov.Selection with the environment at the top of their priority lists.“There is a new mood among the public that has yet to be properly represented at town hall,” said Prospect Street resident Tom Van-dermeulen, an active environmentalist who is contemplating running for a seat on town council.“The environment has been given the back seat in the past and we have been drifting along these lines for too long.We know now that the stuff we’ve been pouring into the river and into the sky is pollution,” added Vandermeulen.“I believe we are on the edge of an environmental crisis and we all know some big decisions have to be made on the local level,” he continued.“I just don’t know if people are ready for it yet.” TOXIC WASTE Town management of household and industrial waste is the area Vandermeulen would like to tinker with.He is confident that garbage can be reduced significantly if people would separate paper from aluminum from glass, and throw much of what’s left into a compost heap.“People are afraid of recycling so you have to give them incentive,” says Vandermeulen, citing several examples of successful projects carried out in American towns.A town in New Jersey cut its garbage tax in half, saving taxpayers about $150 each.The catch is that townsfolk were only permitted to put out two plastic trash bags a week for collecting.To regulate the project, residents are issued a quota of 104 tags to stick onto their garbage bags — two a week for a year.If the residents use up all their stickers before year’s end.then they have to purchase more for the extra bags to be picked up.SAVE TAXES “If there is money to be saved when recycling, then people will do it," he added.Vandermeulen also wants Lennoxville industry probed.“I am not anti-business but I think the town should work with them to see what kind of pollution they are making and to see what can be done to reduce it,” he said.The resident's association initiated a household toxic waste collection over the summer.Vandermeulen liked the idea so much he wants Lennoxville to have a permanent spot set up in town where old Ajax, Comet containers and the like could be easily deposited GREEN SPACE Preserving parkland in Lennoxville is another environmental issue, not only on Vandermeulen’s To protect its 6rural charm and character’ West Bolton: Mayor La hue will WEST BOLTON - Fred Lahue, whose determination to “preserve the rural character of our community” won him the mayor’s job in 1987, aims to keep the post when local voters make their choice on Sunday, November 5.Lahue, 52, made his intention to stand for re-election known at the October town meeting.So did four of the six town councillors, all of whose terms expire this year.René Hébert, Bob Quilliams, Stan Horne and Lome Argue will seek office again.Councillor Donald Badger, who holds seat 2 was undecided at the October 2 meeting.and John Rhicard, the incumbent for seat 1, was absent and hadn’t officially declared his intention.All candidates, including any who may be superstitious by nature, must file nomination papers by Friday October 13.The required forms may be picked up from secretary-treasurer Norma McLel-lan at the town office on Brill Road at Bailey.FIVE SIGNATURES Each candidate requires the signatures of five supporters of his or her nomination.The signed and fiiled-in forms must be in the secretary-treasurer’s possession by the required date.Should none of the seats be contested, the present office-holders would be re-elected by acclamation.Lahue, a mink rancher who succeeded longtime incumbent George Rogerson as mayor in 1987, has long advocated a controlled type of development for this municipality.“I’m not against the idea of progress or development, but West Bolton has a rural charm and character to it and that’s the type of thing that has to be protected,” Lahue said.The mayor, whose family bought and has refurbished the historic Hiram Gardiner house on Bolton Pass Road in recent years, took office at a time when unprecenden-ted building booms were underway in surrounding communities.He immediately moved to introduce tough new building bylaws, making West Bolton one of the better preserved areas in the Eastern Townships.PLANNERS “We hired a firm of planners to help us put the laws into language that could be readily understood by the layman, and worked closely with the MRC and other government agencies to ensure the protection of our natural resources and the environment,” Lahue said.“Building permits have been issued for different kinds of construction and renovations, and in that way the work has been carried out in a controlled and orderly manner.” Local residents who had a chance to oppose the laws, and didn’t, in a series of public meetings, appeared to have given unqualified support to Lahue’s strict measures.But as the full impact of the restrictions set in, there were a few dissenters.One of the more vocal was Lily Needhan, wife of Leyton Needhan, whose request for an extension of a Mizener Road property was turned down because it infringed on a neighboring line.“I thought we’d have plenty of room for expansion, through acquired rights if nothing else,” Needhan said.“I also think that people should be allowed to do what they want with their own property.” Lahue’s biggest critic by far, however, has been Henry Janule-wicz, a local contractor who first clashed with the mayor over zoning and acreage problems relating to his property on Bolton Pass Road.At one point Janulewicz expressed an interest in running for the mayor’s job himself, but he still hadn’t filled the necessary papers by October.“I want to see the area opened up for more development,” Janulewicz said.“We’ve been sitting around and doing nothing for the past two years.I’ll run if I think I have enough public support for my ideas.” Judge goes back to the Magna Carta By John McCaghey GRANBY — The fall term of the District of Bedford assizes opened at a particularly slow pace here on Tuesday.Some, if not most of the potential English jurors must have been wondering if the cumbersome legal process was in limbo.Ordered to appear for 11 a.m., they were finally registered at noon and turned out for lunch, to return two hours later.Superior Court Justice Louis-Philippe Galipeau reminded the potential jurors of their civic duty, which has been established in Canada for about 150 years.However the judge made it perfectly clear that the right to a trial by a jury of one’s peers—one of the bastions of democratic law — was established at Runnymeade, England, in 1215 with the signing of the Magna Carta.LOGISTICS Logistics played their part in setting the speed.The sheriff sent out 300 notices, and 105 were served after exemptions were granted in certain cases.Tuesday 16 prospective ju- rors failed to show.They now face arrest warrants.Court clerk Jacqueline Tousi-gnant told the Record that an antiquated electoral list was used and some people had died while others had moved.A total of 17 were exempted by the judge on Tuesday — some for the full term, others for only the first trial.Galipeau reminded the jurors three times that if they felt in their consciences they could not render a verdict based on the facts, they should demand an exemption.Four men appeared in court and the judge exempted two.One of them said he had known the victim for 50 years and his conscience would not allow him to be an impartial witness.A second told the court he had known the accused since his infancy, and that knowledge would not result in the good adminstration of justice.MURDER CASE When things finally got down to business at 3:44 p.m., defence lawyer Louis Belleau said acused Louis Lefebvre would enter a plea of not guilty to a charge of second degree murder causing the death of 68-year-old Frank Royea in Sutton on Nov.2, 1988.A seven-man, five-woman jury Gets 18 months for helping her boyfriend COWANSVILLE (JM) — Marie-France Methe, in her late 20s of the Bedford-Pike River area, has been giyen 18 months in jail by Quebec Court Judge Claude Léveillé after pleading guilty to a series of burglaries in dwellings, robbery with violence and receiving stolen goods.The crimes were committed with her boyfriend, Jean Frances- chini, now serving a life term for murder.When Methe appeared at arraignment in early 1988, defence lawyer Claude Hamann managed to impress the court that the crimes were due to her dependence on drugs.Methe was released pending sentencing for a closed cure but returned, stating she was unable to face the rigorous treatment.She then volunteered to seek psychiatric treatment and completed about 14 months of therapy.Léveillé tempered his sentence due to Methe’s efforts to help herself and placed her on three years probation following her release.He warned her any violations would result in a penitentiary sentence.Woodworker branded on the job Charges eyed in bizarre Megantic case SHERBROOKE — The local chief Crown prosecutor is reviewing a decision not to lay any charges in the case of a man branded with a red-hot iron by fellow employees in a Lake Megantic woodworking shop Crown attorney Michel Pinard said Tuesday he is having a second look at the file after Lake Megantic prosecutor Jean-Marc Fredette decided the case wasn’t worth pursuing.And a Lake Megantic community group wants to know why the co-workers who branded the mildly retarded young man have not been charged The victim’s mother says he was branded Aug.9 by co-workers on the night shift at the local Bio-Bois Inc.plant which makes wooden handles for brooms and brushes.She said the men, who scarred the flesh of his arm with the letters USA, threatened him with worse punishment if he did not submit to the branding.After the incident he had to go to hospital three times because the wound became infected.INVESTIGATION OK André Lapierre, co-ordinator for L'Envol, an organization which offers alternative mental health support services here, said Lac-Megantic police conducted a satis- factory investigation into the incident.But Lapierre said he was worried that the Crown had decided not to prosecute because the victim had submitted to the branding.“That’s when we stop going along with things,” said Lapierre.“If someone gets a retarded person to agree to sexual relations, it usually results in a rape charge being filed, even if the victim has consented.“It’s an important question of principle for us.” WAITING Lapierre said the group awaits Pinard’s review before taking further steps.A spokesman for Bio-Bois, who refused to give his name, said, “We conducted an internal inquiry into this business and it appears the young man freely agreed to submit to the branding.Several witnesses even told us that he said afterwards that it didn’t hurt.” The Bio-Bois official said two or three other workers had also been branded, and explained, “as far as I can see it was a case of a bunch of youngsters daring each other to see whether they could take it.” The man said the company was satisfied with the victim’s work and added, “I didn't know he was slightly retarded.” agenda but on Mike Sudlow’s as

games If you believe in polls, you may have noticed that Brian Mulroney’s armor has a new little dent in it.Heck, the dent is far from little; it’s downright huge.Seeing the wounded prime minister dip in the polls is really nothing new.It happens all the time.Usually though, the love-hate relationship heals just in time for another election — thanks to the power of persuasion.But somehow I’m lead to believe Mulroney has dug himself a big hole, one he may never get out of.Don’t get me wrong, I’m not a believer in polls, I never have been, but something about this poll has me interested.The polls, conducted by Gallup, has Mulroney waivering with 28-per-cent approval.On the other hand, 55 per cent of Canadians are less than impressed with Mulroney’s predictable fashion and flair.Another 16 per cent had no opinion on the competency of the Mulroney reign.With just over one-quarter of the population backing Mulroney, the next few years could be very interesting to Canadian politics.Mulroney has made a lot of friends during his days on Parliament Hill, but outside of the plush green grasses of Ottawa he’s less than a popular figure.Take British Columbia for example.There Mulroney has only 22 per cent of the poulation in his corner — Quebec leads the pro-Mulroney forces with 32 per cent in favor of his leadership.From coast to coast, people are angry with the Conservative government.For all the good they’ve done — and there has been some good — Canadians have been tied into a free-trade deal with the proverbial elephant, the United States.We also have railway tracks from sea to sea that will be used about as much as Aunt Judith’s gift cologne.Need we even mention the new sales and services tax, or the dying Meech Lake Accord?Indeed, the polls are hardly singing the praises of the Mulroney government.In fact, the polls cry out for something and someone new.That’s where the Liberals and New Democrats come in.Both parties are in the midst of choosing new leaders.With fresh blood comes new ideas, new direction and new life.The polls tell us Canadians are quickly becoming bored with the iron-fisted, no-room-for-compromise politics of the Conservatives.And because of that, the Conservatives are in their most vulnerable period since the days Joe Clark’s minority government toppled like a cheap card-house.There is a story behind the polls and that story is one of discontent and disenchantment.Canadians are prepared for something different.It’s now up to the two opposition parties to give Canadian politics that new look.SCOTT DAVID HARRISON Tories have not lost their grip — Baker BLACKPOOL, England (Reuter) — Britain’s governing Conservatives embark today on a long haul to convince voters they are still in control of the economy and will bounce back to win the next general election.On the opening day of the party’s most anxious annual conference in decades, chairman Kenneth Baker will tell 4,500 delegates and a national television audience that Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher’s Tories have not lost their grip.Baker will speak against a backdrop of one of the worst economic situations the Conservative party has faced in 10 years of power : the British pound is sinking, the price of borrowing money is at an eight-year high and the trade deficit is at near-record levels.The government admits that all is not well economically, that last week’s rise in base bank interest rates to 15 per cent will hurt households and businesses and that its private surveys back up opinion polls putting the Opposition Labor party six to eight points ahead in popular support.But Baker put a brave face on the situation Monday, telling reporters the four-day conference would give the Conservatives “a positive opportunity to pull back the lead we have lost in the polls.” He added: “This is a difficult time, but I relish that.” Baker said the government is succeeding in its prime economic objective of bringing down inflation.POUND DROPS He refused to comment on the pound’s slide to below three West German marks Monday, its lowest level in 18 months.But he said Chancellor of the Exchequer Nigel Lawson will vigorously defend Thursday the government’s economic record in the most keenly awaited speech of the week.“The chancellor last week made the right decision in the longterm,” Baker said.“The rise in interest rates is unpopular in the short term, but the government has never shirked from doing unpopular things it beheves to be right.” Thatcher, who arrived in Blackpool amid massive security, told party workers Monday night the economy is stronger than ever and said: “The interest rate rise was necessary and this government always does what is necessary and always has.” Other subjects of concern expected to be discussed by delegates during the week include fears over reforms to the state health service and resentment against a planned poll tax on all adults to replace property levies.Delegates are also expected to discuss disaffection over the privatization of electricity and water supplies.The government has already been forced to postpone the water sell-off by up to six months.Baker, appointed chairman to give the party a glossier image during July’s cabinet reshuffle, said winning the next election would be an endurance race between Labor and the Conservatives during the next two to 2Vi years.Makers and users turn blind eye to deadly chemicals By Nancy Willis Charlottetown Guardian-Patriot SOURIS, P.E.I.(CP) — Serious questions are being raised about the practices, ethics and techniques of industrialists, government, researchers and farmers who continue to promote, manufacture or turn a blind eye to toxic chemicals and their use.On P E L there are 252 poisonous chemicals, including Dinoseb, in use in agriculture alone.Of these, 176 fall in the two highest categories of restricted use.“The bottom line is that these chemicals are meant to kill,” says Toronto lawyer Toby Vigod of the Canadian Environmental Law Association.She said they’re killers in the truest sense, manufactured and applied with the intent of dispersing them into the environment to destroy unwanted plant and animal life.Although some farmers follow closely the directions on bags and cans for application and disposal, few go through the multitude of precautions which allow the chemical to be marketed.Containers and bags which are supposed to be burned or buried can be found at almost any community dump site, confirms one Island potato farmer.And no one could be found who changed clothes twice, at noon as well as the end of the day when applying pesticides as directed in the 1989 Agri-culture Canada Guide to Weed Control.Dirk VanLoon, Nova Scotia publisher of Rural Deliveries, questions what good srnall-print labels are out in the field to a farmer whose reading glasses are back on the kitchen table.BAFFLES READERS The same applies to labels written using terms for people with a college degree in a world where many of the readers will have a Grade 8 education or lower.In a recent five-year period, 88 deaths in California alone were officially attributed to Dinoseb, and it’s suspected that scores of others have gone unreported.In Toronto, lawyer Toby Vigod represented a farm woman who drank deadly Alcor from her contaminated well.In Nova Scotia, a farm boy nearly died when, eight hours after using a turnip-worm pesticide Dasanit, he was blinded, paralysed and slipping into a coma.The list grinds on, while at the same time groundwater contaminations by agricultural and other chemicals are steadily on the rise across the United States and Canada.The federal Agriculture Department drags its feet refusing to take a leadership role in developing alternatives for 20th century farming, says Dalhousie biologist David Patriquin, who recently completed a provincial-ly sponsored ecological agriculture project for P.E.I.Instead, he said, “they throw their support behind agricultural practices developed by industries and their researchers like Dow Chemicals.” “This is the wrong way around,” said the biologist, who feels agricultural research has got to be a partnership with farmers, conducted in response to their needs.BELITTLES FARMERS He said that instead of belittling those farmers interested in alternatives as “crackpots,” Agriculture Canada has got to show the leadership its researchers are paid for.The Canadian government’s close relationship with industry is also reflected in the difficulty Canadians have in getting full information on highly toxic chemicals.Lawyer Vigod, whose legal clinic is interested in seeing environmental laws applied and reformed where necessary, said the Canadian public can’t get data on these kinds of chemicals because of government protection afforded chemical companies who classify this information as “trade secrets” and won’t give it out.“We have to go to the United States to get it, where it’s easily obtained.” Agriculture Canada representative Christine Ranger, with the National Pesticide Information Service in Ottawa, confirmed the closed policy, saying the federal government is bound by the Access to Information Act which means third-party information is proprietory (or privately owned by chemical companies in this case).This means if a company prefers to keep information quiet, government is bound to keep it confidential.Private citizens or groups then have to go through the Access of Information Act and see what they can get.LAGS FAR BEHIND Ranger was also asked why Canada lagged so far behind in banning Dinoseb which was pulled off the U.S.market three years ago.She said Agriculture Canada is waiting for a response from Health and Welfare Canada, which has had the chemical under scrutiny for the last two years.As the public becomes more aware of the destruction of the environment and the health threat posed by toxic chemicals in their air, water, food and soil, they’ll demand change, environmentalists say.The farmer who many feel he has been forced into chemical use to begin with, will likely be among the first of the multitude of suppliers and industrialists to have to respond.P.E.I.is the only Maritime province to anticipate this change and begin preparing for it now.It has created a separate sustainable agriculture division and has prepared a comprehensive program detailing the transition into ecological agriculture through crop rotations and fertilization strategies over three- to six-year periods.% mWMm A6MN$T be fédày ‘I t as?» Wm Hunter public relations — losing the Rambo image I was cruising along the back roads recently, a little over the speed limit, the cassette player blaring, when I suddenly encountered a group of hunters.They were all dressed in shocking blaze-orange.The older members of the group were carrying an assortment of shotguns and small-bore rifles.They were unshaven and rough looking.The group was standing around admiring a recently demised ruffed grouse and my arrival around the corner of the road was not greeted as a welcome addition to their party.As I passed them on the narrow gra-vel road I muttered to myself "Gawdamn Hunters!” Then I realized what I had just said.“Oh-my-gosh! I’m a hunter too,” I thought, 'What am I saying?” Then I analysed what had happened.I’d come around the comer and had run across a group of people out enjoying themselves on a sunny fall afternoon, legally carrying the apparatus of their sport, dressed as the law specifically requires them to dress.They’d been up before dawn and probably hadn’t had the time to shave and anoint their bodies with perfume, as they might have done if they were heading to the office.The main problems were that: A) I hadn’t been expecting to see them there B) They were dressed in bright blaze orange and stood out like a gob of lipstick on a white collar, C) they were all carrying firearms and D) I didn’t know them.I was automatically suspicious of Where the pavement M~ ends * JIM LAWRENCE their motives and felt they were somehow infringing on my rights (which of course they weren’t in any way).I suppose it’s an understandable reaction when you suddenly run across a group of hunters.Then I suddenly realized what a lot of the non-hunters/anti-hunters have been screaming about all these years.A group of blaze-orange clad hunters, carrying what seems to be enough firepower to take over a banana republic, is a pretty shocking sight.To the uneducated eye two or three shotguns and a twenty-two looks like twelve bazookas, a rocket launcher and a field artillery piece.“Head for the cellar, Martha, the Russians have landed!" The men weren't groomed and tailored as one might appreciate meeting in a shopping centre or in your living room.They were rough looking, dirty and sweaty as anyone might who had been hiking through the bush for a few hours.Had I been dirty and sweaty (at that particular time) 1 might have felt some automatic kinship, but being washed, combed and tidy (for once) I felt a world of difference and the group was totally foreign to me at that time.My reaction was immediate and automatic “Gawdamn hunters!” How often have I earned the same reaction, when I exited from the woods dressed the same way, smelling the same way and carrying the same firearm?I suppose quite often.It gave me food for thought and of course food for this column.So often people scream and shout about hunters and their “Rambo” image and so often hunters pooh-pooh their attitude.Perhaps (and I mention this knowing all those who for years have leapt upon this subject with so much glee will leap again) it’s all our own fault.In our enjoyment of our sport we have remained blind to it’s effect on other people.So often we forget that our actions have an effect on other people and we go about our activities forgetful of our responsibilities to our fellow man.The sight of a blaze-orange, gun carrying, unwashed, animal killer walking along the road is guaranteed to give your average non-hunting citizen a major fit.With that in mind then, how do we hunters enjoy our sport without risking the wrath of non-hunters and anti-hunters?The answer is simple.We keep a low profile.Knowing full well that 50 to 75 per cent of the screaming and wailing is simply because they’re afraid of us, that they’re deathly afraid of the me-tal-and-wood hunting tool we carry and that we dress to stand out in a crowd on purpose, we have to strive to change our image.It’s only common sense to restrict our hunting to woods and fields.There’s very little game found on roads (except that which is flat and inedible) so why wander around in the middle of country roads?Most people are too afraid to venture more that a hundred yards or so off the beaten trails and a hunter will have more success if he does.Rule number one: stay off the beaten trails and rads.If you’re not hunting you don’t need your blaze orange and your gun.Rule number two: when you finish put away your gun in the case and take off your jacket.Stay away from homes, cottages and other inhabited areas when you are actively hunting.Remember the gun-safety rules you learned before you got your license — shooting people is severly frowned upon these days, and the paperwork just isn’t worth it.Just as soon as you can do so legally, remove the visible signs of your success from the top of your car, carting a deer carcass or a moose head around for weeks is guaranteed to upset someone.I’m not suggesting you crawl into a hole and pretend you’re not a hunter.All I'm suggesting is thinking a little bit about the image you project to others.A little prudence goes a long way. The KKl'OKl)—Wednesday.October 11.198»-^5 Education «1__ KBcora ‘We thought it would be hopeless.But it wasn’t’ Sherbrooke U.program gives Quebec anglos new prospects By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — Bom out of the desperation of professors trying to keep a grip on their jobs, the newest co-op program at Sherbrooke University is a resounding success.The professional writing course was the brainchild of tenured English literature professors who were told in 1986 they would lose their jobs when the university melded its French and English departments to form the new Lettres et Communications.A financial crisis led school ad- up with the idea of offering a cooperative professional writing course to be taught in English.This meant the university would attempt to attract English-speaking students — something never attempted in the past.“We thought it was hopeless,” he said.“But it wasn’t.It can be done and we did it.” The program has been such a success that the number of students has gone up by 70 per cent in the second year of the program and there are so many offers of employment for the co-operative pro- ministrators to want to cut the English, theology and philosophy departments.Twenty-five tenured professors were faced with unemployment, according to professional writing co-ordinator and former English department head Avrum Malus.“We were given the opportunity to come up with a good idea to save our asses,” Malus said in an interview Tuesday.BRAINSTORMING The result of that “brainstorming" was the professional writing program now in its second year.gram that it won’t be able to fill all the requests.The professional writing has four core courses including journalism, writing for marketing and advertising, technical writing, and translation.“We are training people to be generalists,” Malus said, adding that students will have basic training in all areas of writing.ABOVE IT ALL “McGill or Concordia would never organize a program like this,” Malus said.“They see themselves as above writing for utilitarian purposes.” That may be one of the reasons Sherbrooke U.is attracting students from Montreal — and further.More than a third of the students in the writing program come from the Montreal area.“We’re bringing anglophones from the Montreal area,” Malus said.“That’s weird.” About 32 per cent are from the Eastern Townships and 23 per cent from outside Quebec, including one American.But Malus said the university’s popular co-operative system is one of the main attractions of the new program.Students in U of S co-op programs are virtually guaranteed a paying job, in their field, a year and a half into the program.Out of 1009 students registered in co-op programs, 1007 were placed last year.After completing their first year, the students work four months of every 12 and study for eight.LOTS OF OFFERS M alus said corporations are offering two work terms for each student in professional writing this year, including Canada Post’s public relations department, the Gazette advertising department, Ca- your future Mains said the professors came Professional writing students at Sherbrooke Univer- professors to discuss how their program is working, sity participate in a monthly meeting with English m % A short walk through the Pub, but a big step to nadair, Canadian Aviation Electronics and the Ontario College of Physicians in Toronto.Oerlikon Aerospace is looking for four students for technical writing in St Jean sur Richelieu while IBM Toronto has its name down for two.The professional writing program “also appeals to older student,” Malus said, adding that many applicants have university experience or degrees.The average age of students in the program is 26.The average for bachelor of arts students in general is more like 20 or 21, he said.“The program is appealing to BISHOP’S U N 1 V E R S I I \ Lennoxville, Quebec Tanya M.Bellehunieur Bishop's University awarded Tanya M.Bellehumeur of Sutton, Quebec, a $2,000 scholarship toward a Bachelor of Arts Degree.BISHOP’S people in their thirties," he said, adding that there are a growing number of people setting up at home as freelance writers and edi tors.Malus said that many entrants are looking for a new career and this in part explains the number of older students.Malus said he's pleased but surprised that the desperation of a few years ago has turned to such success.The department which was looking at massive layoffs, now needs to hire more professors, he said.“It's taking off," he said “And its likely to be a continuing success."

school’s Timetable Integrated Studies.Presently all schools are required by the province’s new Education Act, Law 107, to have a parent’s committee directly involved with schools within the community A parent’s committee is elected each June for the following school year.A teacher and the principal also sit on the committee.An orientation committee with three or more parents, two teachers, one support staff and another interested member of the community — if the school committee so desires — should be established before Oct.15.School committees become involved in fubnd raising, volunteer work, special projects like “playgrounds", consultation on day-to-day events of the school ; in fact, in general whatever way in which they can participate.The orientation committee is like a board of directors.It’s role is to oversee the budget, student activities.rules and regulations for behavior and safety; the selection of the principal; the religious orientation of the school; Educational Project — (the school’s goals and objectives for the year); to pro- it parental participation: the use of the school’s facilities; meeting as necessary — but at least three times a year.Integrated studies is not a well known method of teaching, although it has been sucessfully conducted in two other areas of the province.It promotes the best use of teachers’ skills to the largest number of students — grouping children with similar capabilities, not necessarily of the same age groups Since Mansonville Elementary School has approximately 90 students, of which about 10 are in kindergarten, the remaining 80 could be taught in four groups of twenty — divided among five teachers.Special attention is given to French during the morning.Other subjects are also combined (integrated) whenever possible, allowing intermingling of subject matter.This leaves five teachers available to use the hour after noon break for Music, Art, Physical Education and Secondary I (in French).In the mornings, when the 20 or so students are in French class, the remaining 60 are busy with four teachers.In groups of 15, the children are taught language, arts and mathematics.MRE — (Moral and Religious Education), Social Studies and Science are integrated — the required content is used as material in activities.An explanation of free time for each teacher may be obtained by phoning the school.One qualified teacher is able to act as a technical aide — taking large groups, small groups or individuals — as needed, or working within a classroon with another teacher.It means she, or someone, is attending to children who are not learning as rapidly as others.Benefits of integrated studies: 1) four French groups of one hour’s duration in the morning when children are at their best; 2) levels 1 and 2 are separated, especially in language, arts and partly in math; 3) secondary I is separated to the maximum; 4) teachers’ skills are matched to subjects — not over all grades; 5) in theory, schedules can be changed daily if necessary; 6) much easier to pick a theme on which to work for a week (or a day) without complicating anyone’s timetable — and everyone on the same thing; 7) the students are taught by a variety of teachers each day (like in high schools).This integrated studies program was eagerly accepted by the teaching staff, with one teacher remarking that this method was much better for the children.Children work basically on a same grade/ability level, involved interest creates friendly relationships ; and secondary 1 may be able to work with the rest of the M.E.S.students as “tutors” — as occasion arises.M E S.has two new staff members: David McAdam from Knowl-ton.and Sherry Gavura.Other staff members are Mrs.E.Young, Lori Lane, Lynn Hudon, and

to here with let-ters-to, from and about nurses, but I hope you will print just one more.It’s different from the others.I work in a hospital where the 1 nurses are treated like royalty.Not only have their paychecks doubled in the last year, but there is talk of another raise for them.I realize that nurses have been underpaid for a long time and I don't begrudge" them the new respect they are getting, but there is a lot of anger and hostility toward nurses in this hospital because employees in other departments are being overlooked.I work in billing and haven’t seen a pay raise in five years.If you think the headaches are only on the medical floor, try dealing with a patient after he receives a blockbuster of a bill.(The $7 aspirin one of your readers complained about is just the tip of the iceberg).We are threatened, sworn at and harassed on a daily basis by irate patients and their family members.This office is grossly understaffed.We struggle to handle 150 claims a week.If we are no more than a month behind we feel wonderful.When we send out Medicare claims we keep our fingers crossed, and pray that the government regulations didn’t change the previous week.Handling hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue and trying to stay sane is not easy in this squirrel cage, but the administrators look the other way and we are rarely given a compliment, much less a small bonus.I believe it’s time that the people in power took notice of the office staff without which no hospital could operate for a single day.We are truly the forgotten people, Ann.Please say a word for us.— Out of the Loop in Iowa Dear Iowa : You have said a good mdny words yourself and they pack a more powerful punch than anything I might say.Your Arm complaint sounds valid to me.I hope this letter helps the cause.Dear Ann Landers: Recently we moved to this community and I had to make a phone call before our phone was installai.I went to our neighbor’s house and was shocked at what I saw.There were stacks and stacks of newspapers and magazines in the living room, the hallway, the bathroom and the kitchen.I noticed that there were addressed to a variety of people.The woman’s husband is a mail carrier who works for the Houston post office.Apparently, he takes home any magazine or newspaper that interests him.When I asked his wife if this was against the law, she said, “All mail carriers do it.” I asked if there is any supervision.She replied, “The postmaster knows about it but doesn’t say anything because they are good friends and he takes magazines, too.” Ann, is it true that all mail carriers do this and their supervisors are in on it?If so, postmasters should be investigated for covering up thievery.Newspaper and magazine companies all over the country must get a lot of complaints from irate customers.And what about the lost revenue?Have you ever heard of this sort of thing?We are new in these parts and I don’t want to get into trouble with the neighbors, but I am outraged.What should be done?— No Name Please Dear No Name: That mail carrier should be reported to the postmaster general in Washington.The man may be mentally ill.His behavior sounds more sick than crooked.The Marine Engineering Technician A joint programme, St.Lawrence College and The Canadian Armed Forces.Programme benefits.For the high school student interested in a technical education,

The RECORD—Wednesday.October 11.198»—9 Farm and Business —____9*1 record 57,000 jobs lost?Opposition: Free trade cost Canada too much OTTAWA (CP) — The government should put up or shut up on how free trade is affecting the economy, opposition parties said Tuesday.Citing a Canadian Labor Congress study showing 57,000 jobs have been lost since Jan.1 because of free trade, both parties asked the government to produce its figures showing the benefits of the deal.“I want to ask the prime minister, if he and his jackals here want to (dispute) figures outside the House, why doesn’t the government have the integrity to produce its own studies for the people of Canada?” New Democrat Leader Ed Broadbent said during question period.‘‘If the CLC figures are correct, we would have 57,000 more jobs, that’s the issue,” Broadbent said.Prime Minister Brian Mulro-ney said that while it would be difficult for anyone to evaluate the full impact of the agreement so far, general indicators of the state of the economy are good Since Jan.1, when the agreement came into effect.189.000 new jobs have been created, he said.“That seems to suggest to me that by and large the general economy, including the implications of the free-trade agreement, are having beneficial results in Canada.” Lloyd Axworthy, Liberal trade critic, said if the government is going to dispute figures by other groups, it should show the reasoning behind its own arguments.“If the government is disregarding those figures, why is it afraid to publish its own?Why is it afraid to come forward with its own score card as to the impact of the trade agreement as promised .during the election?” Axworthy asked in the Commons.Domtar to lay off 500, mostly at head office By Peter Lowrey MONTREAL (CP) — Domtar Inc., the Quebec pulp and paper giant, will lay off 500 workers next month, mostly at its head office in Montreal, company president and chief executive officer James Smith announced Tuesday.The provincially owned company.with 16,000 employees, has been hurt by the downturn in demand for newsprint during the last quarter as well as decreased demand for construction material, said Domtar spokesman Jacques Viau in an interview Most of the 500 laid-off employees are support staff and middle management who work at head office in downtown Montreal.A small number work at Domtar’s packing plant in Toronto and elsewhere, Viau said.Domtar is controlled by the Quebec government through the Société generale de financement, a Crown investment agency, and the Caisse de depot et placement, the province’s huge pension fund manager.In June, the New York firm Moody’s Investors Service downgraded Domtar s credit rating because of market conditions.That made it even more necessary to economize, Viau said."This downsizing effort, although difficult, is necessary to protect the viability of our operations by improving our competitiveness and efficiency,” Smith said in a news release.The 500 employees will be notified in the next few days with most of the layoffs effective Nov.15.A ‘Capital spending the locomotive of growth’ Business new chief economic motor TORONTO (CP) - The consumer may be slipping off the throne as monarch of the North American economy.And the boom in business spending that carried the economy through the last half of the 1980s appears to be only a beginning.Most long-range forecasts for the next decade see business investment as the major source of economic growth in Canada and the United States while the consu- Commons brings UIC overhaul closer OTTAWA (CP) — A major overhaul of the $13-billion-a-year unemployment insurance program moved one step closer to reality Tuesday when a Commons committee recommended passage with little change.The committee, controlled by Conservative MPs, rejected appeals by opposition Liberal and New Democrat MPs to either scrap or radically amend the legislation.Concluding cross-country hearings that began last month, it reported the bill back to the full Commons with all major features of the original package intact.The legislation now needs approval at report stage and third reading to complete its stormy passage through the Commons.Employment Minister Barbara McDougall said during the hearings she was prepared to make one significant amendment — inclusion of a clause protecting employees who quit work because of sexual harassment from loss of unemployment insurance benefits.Several MPs criticized the government Tuesday for pushing ahead with the bill in the face of widespread criticism registered during the hearings.They included Liberals Marlene Catterall, Ottawa West; Fred Mifflin, Bona vista-Trinity-Conception, and Francis LeBlanc, Cape Breton Highlands-Canso.If the bill is approved, the following changes will take effect Jan.1.-$1.3 billion will be chopped from unemployment benefits and used for other purposes — $800 million for new job training programs and $500 for enhanced maternity and sickness benefits.-Entrance requirements will be toughened from a range of 10 to 14 weeks of work, depending on local unemployment rates, to a range of 10 to 20 weeks.-The federal government will stop paying the $3 billion annually it now contributes to the program from general revenues, leaving employers and employees to pick up the full tab.McDougall estimates that 30,000 people who would be eligible for benefits under the current program would not qualify annually if the changes go into effect as proposed.Labor groups, including the two-million-member Canadian Labor Congress, put the figure at 130,000 annually.Business briefs mer’s share of real economic activity slips during the next ten years.For a number of reasons, “capital spending emerges as the locomotive of growth,” says George Vasic, director of economics at DRI Canada.“The consumer grudgingly takes a back seat.” Economists may quibble about details and timing, but forecasters generally agree with Vasic’s scenario.Among its supporters are the federal Finance Department and two of Vasic’s competitors in the forecasting business — Ernest Stokes, director of Canadian services at WEFA Group, and Michael McCracken, president of In-formetrica Ltd.of Ottawa.INVESTMENT RISES Even consumer analyst John Winter of John Winter Associates, who thinks consumers will show more strength in the first part of the decade than Vasic does, predicts business investment will be carrying the economy by the end of the 1990s.The trend is driven mainly by demographic and economic factors such as shifts in the cost of capital and more global competition.But Vasic says it’s also “policy-abetted.” Having spent the 1970s discovering that boosting demand was not enough to cure unemployment, economic policymakers began in the early 1980s to look for ways to raise productivity.Governments in most industria- lized countries reformed their tax systems to lower personal income tax rates, deregulated many sectors of their economies to promote industrial efficiency and privatized government businesses.The outlook for the 1990s is still shaped by such policies.In Canada, it will be especially reinforced by two of them : the free-trade deal with the U S.and the replacement of the manufacturers' sales tax with the federal goods and services tax.CAN’T HIT BUSINESS But, as Stokes of WEFA notes, these policies all count on business to generate economic growth.That means “if you want to reduce the deficit, you can’t hit business.You can cut spending or raise taxes.And if you raise taxes, the only source of income is the consumer.” In Canada, the imperative of the 1990s — invest or die — gets an additional boost from the free-trade accord.The kick from the trade _deal and from energy megaprojects are the basic reasons Canadian business investment is expected to outpace the United States in the next decade, Vasic says.On the consumer side, real incomes were under pressure through the 1980s and consumers tried to maintain living standards by borrowing.But this has left the consumer sector with heavy debts and lower savings, hardly the base for strong spending for another decade.special severance and early-retirement program will be offered the workers as well as relocation assistance.Viau denied that Domtar had delayed the layoff announcement un til after the Sept .25 provincial election in order to avoid embarrassing the government during the campaign.The company has annual sales of $3 billion in pulp and paper, fores try, construction and packing materials, in chemicals and oil and gas exploration It is divesting itself of the chemicals and energy business to concentrate on its core activities.In 1987, Domtar operated around 80 plants, sawmills and mines in Canada and the United States.Unsucessful attempts were made to merge Domtar and forestry company Consolidated Bathurst recently before the latter was sold to the American company Stone Container.CHAMPLAIN LASER Management with a Micro-Computer Weekend , courses 554 Ontario St., Sherbrooke For information olease tall CONTINUING EDUCATION SERVICES (819) 563-9574 ;

in.” That re mark may be more appropriate to a building contractors’ convention than to bridge.But it is the fond dream of every player on defense to work out a plan that will have the enemy declarer describing what happened to him in just such terms.Lynn Deas found such an opportunity against four hearts.Deas had made a slightly dangerous overcall on a four-card spade suit, but she did have a six-card club suit to run to in case of trouble.Next came a negative double, followed by East's preemptive three-spade raise.And so the opponents settled in four hearts.Deas cashed the A-K of spades and then played an innocuous club.Declarer won the club ace and led a low heart toward dummy.Up came the queen from West — obviously a singleton.At this point declarer could not really afford to draw what surely must be three more rounds of trumps, since a trick might have to be given up in diamonds, and then the defender winning a diamond trick could cash some spades.We really must sympathize with South for winning the king of hearts in dummy and then playing a diamond back to the queen.But then the roof fell in.West won the king and played a club.East ruffed and returned a diamond, which West ruffed.Of course no one knows what would have happened if West had played the eight of hearts rather than the queen.Perhaps declarer would have put in the jack; perhaps not.But high marks to Lynn Deas for a brave deceptive play that worked James Jacoby 's books "Jacoby on Bridge" and “Jacoby on Card Games’ (written with his father, the late Oswald Jacoby) are now available at bookstores Both

hockey The road By Scott David Harrison SHERBROOKE — Going on the road is something every sports team fears.Winning hockey games in the other guy ’s building is always tough.But the Champlain Cougars haven’t exactly been knocked on their butts.Instead, without a home to play in so far this season, the Cougars have come to like the road, and the road seems to like them.Last weekend was no exception.Champlain travelled to Ste- Thérèse where they manhandled Collège Lionel-Groulx 6-2 to record their second road win in three tries.The Cougars have been without a home since the start of the season thanks to a technical breakdown at the W.B.Scott Arena in Lennox-ville which has prohibited the installation of the campus ice surface.The Cougars have spent their time practicing into the wee hours in Sherbrooke’s Mount Ste-Anne Arena.These are all minor setbacks for the Cougars, who sport a 2-1-0 record Against Lionel-Groulx, the Cougars built an insurmountable 6-0 lead before Dan Chartier was finally beaten with a shot.Chartier upped his record to 2-0 by stopping 16 of the 18 shots he faced.Champlain got two-goal performances from rookie Patrice Tardif and Steve Bilodeau.They also got singles from veteran Robert L’Heureux and Yves Fournier.Rod McKeWs Cougars built up a huge lead before they started to get greedy.After that, the Cougars were shut out the rest of the way.And head coach Rod McKell knows exactly why the guns suddenly fell silent.“We were scoring well at the start and then we got selfish and we weren't willing to move the puck up as well," the veteran coach said “We just lost our legs a bit and too many people were worried about scoring goals.” Lionel-Groulx capitalized on Champlain’s greed to pop two goals behind Chartier.But McKell took the minor letdown in stride; after all, his Cougars did pump six goals into the mesh.KIDS WILL BE KIDS’ “Kids will be kids, hockey players will be hockey players,” he said.“Everyone wanted to get in on the action.That’s okay, but if the defence moves up, (the players) have to move back and replace him.We weren’t doing that a lot.” “They took too many chances and we’ll have to correct that for some of the big teams,” McKell said.Champlain outshot Lionel-Groulx 38-18 in the contest.The Cougars will thankfully play their first home game of the year this Friday when they tackle 3-3 Rosemont at 8:30.Canadiens latest bout MONTREAL (CP) —Add Claude Lemieux to the growing list of injured Montreal Canadiens.Lemieux, who missed training camp and played his first game of the season in a 2-0 defeat Monday in Boston, re-injured a tender groin while falling into the net in practice Tuesday and will be out of action indefinitely.The Canadiens called up Martin Desjardins, a defensive centre, from Sherbrooke of the American Hockey League to fill a spot on a roster depleted of four veteran reel over of injuries forwards.Centre Guy Carbonneau is gone for at least three weeks with a tom knee ligament; centre Brian Skru-dland is out at least 10 days with a bruised ankle that doctors fear may be a hairline fracture; and Mike McPhee is listed as day-to-day with strained abdominal muscles.Mats Naslund, who missed the Boston game with a bruised shoul der, is expected back for a rematch with the Bruins tonight at the Forum.Hockey has to make more room for Senators In a day when hockey’s Canadian content is being submerged by a mounting number of American teams and foreign-bom invaders, the application for an NHL franchise from Ottawa is welcome news indeed.A group called Terrace Investments is prepared to spend more than $100 million to revive the old Ottawa Senators franchise, and bring hockey back to Canada’s capital city.Bruce Firestone, the group’s chairman, has obtained the rights to the Senators name from the family of the late Tommy Gorman, who was prominent in Ottawa sporting circles back in the days when Ottawa was an NHL power.I, for one, hope the Ottawa interests are successful in reactivating that franchise.It’d bring back to the game a name replete with color and sparkle, and revive old memories — at least among oldtimers — of a team that was once one of the best.And, let’s face it, an Ottawa franchise might also provide welcome relief to a large body of Eas-tem-Canadian hockey fans who’ve grown apathetic with time to les Canadiens, and are appaUed at the state to which the Toronto Maple Leafs have fallen in recent years.The original Senators produced a clutch of players who were among the game’s top stars in the 20s and 30s, when the team was active.Frank Nighbor, King Clancy, Hooley Smith and Frank Boucher were just some of the Hockey Hall of Famers who broke in with the Senators in the old days.Many present-day fans will have heard of them only vaguely, if at all, but believe me some of them were as good if not better than any of the current luminaries.Those ex-greats didn’t individually dominate their league the way a peak-form Wayne Gretzky did, for instance, but there was a Commentary By Gil Smith reason for that.The general level of skill and the resulting competition in the old NHL was far higher than it is today.The league then was essentially a six-team operation, with perhaps 120 players making up its entire content.With that few number of jobs — only some six of the openings would be for goahes — competition was such that only the cream of the crop could ever hope to make it.And in some ways they cancelled each other out with the quality of their collective skills.Frank Nighbor, whose name may hardly even ring a bell with present-day fandom, was one of the most marvellously-gifted players ever to lace on a skate.Inventor of the pokecheck, which one hardly ever sees anymore, he was a defensive wizard who could also thread the proverbial needle with his shot.He once scored 26 goals in a 24-game schedule, then added six more in five playoff games to lead all others in that department; all the while maintaining his defensive excellence.He was the NHL’s first winner of the Hart Trophy as most valuable player, and also the first winner of the Lady Byng award as most sportsmanlike player, when he won twice in a row.Nighbor was an anomaly in the rough-and-ready world of the old NHL however, a gentleman among bruisers.Athletically-inclined young men didn’t have the options then that they do now.I remember Toe Blake once telling me about his options when he first broke in as a player.“I came from Northern Ontario where jobs were scarce and life was tough,” he once recounted.“For a guy like me it was a question of making it in hockey, or spending a lifetime working in the mines.I was determined to succeed in the NHL, because the alternative was just too grim to consider.” Blake never played for Ottawa, but the league was filled with hardbitten characters like him.And when they met each other on an ice-surface, all hell could break loose and frequently did.The Senators won four Stanley Cups during their NHL existence, and their last cup triumph over the Boston Bruins back in 1927 still ranks as the roughest-ever in history.King Clancy, who was a star defenseman with the Senators in those days and later a legendary figure with Toronto Maple Leafs, told me about the deciding game in that Ottawa-Boston series in an interview many years later.“Boston’s star was Eddie Shore, a very great player but who had a terrible temper, and we wanted to get him mad and make him take penalties,” Clancy recalled.“So we waited until the referee made a few bad calls against Boston, and I skated up behind Shore and said ‘It’s s shame the way that ref is hurting your team, Eddie.He’s costing you the Stanley Cup.’” “Couple of plays later we scored a goal, which was allowed even though it looked like one of our guys was in the crease,” Clancy continued.“I said to Shore, who was livid with rage by then, ‘The ref’s blind, Eddie.Surely you’re not going to let him get away with it?’” “Well, Shore got hold of the puck on his stick and shot it with all his might at the referee, who had his back turned,” Clancy went on.“It hit him square in the backside.And, y’know, without even turning around, he yells: ‘That’ll be a 10-minute misconduct, Shore!’ And Eddie, who didn’t understand how the ref could’ve seen him with his back turned and all, just about went wild.And his teammates had to drag him to the penalty box or he’ve killed that referee with his bare hands.And while he was off we scored again, and won the game and the cup with it.’” Clancy managed to keep a sense of humor despite the roughness of the atmosphere in those days, but others grimly of the dangers inherent in a league made up of uncompromisingly tough characters.Talent, great as it was, sometimes became sacrificed to the savagery that marked the NHL’s early history.In that same Ottawa-Boston Stanley Cup final game, a star Boston player named Harry Oliver had his nose broken in several places when smashed across the face by Hooley Smith’s stick in an unprovoked assault.Asked later why he’d struck the Bruins player, Smith shrugged and said laconically “I thought it was Eddie Shore.” In expressing the hope that we may see a revival of the Ottawa franchise, I’m not looking for a return of the violence that marred so much of the NHL’s early days ; but rather the skill that made it outstanding.Hockey will always be a rough sport, but today’s players and teams are nowhere near as bloody-minder as the game’s early practitioners were.The Senators won several league titles in addition to their four Stanley Cups in their relatively brief NHL existence.Their star players nailed down most of the individual trophies that were available to them at the time.They produced some sensational hockey, and inspired a loyal core of Canadian fandom.That’s why I’d like to see them brought back to the NHL where they were once such an outstanding attractions, and where by tradition they still belong.BU triumphs SHERBROOKE — The Bishop’s University Gaiters withstood a late charge from the Champlain Cougars to record a 4-3 win in exhibition soccer action Tuesday.The Gaiters had a 4-1 lead in the second half of action before the Cougars turned up the heat.Champlain got late goals from Brian Lawson, on a breakaway, and Troy Lunn.But the Cougars, who have already been eliminated from CEGEP post-season play, were unable to muster the equalizer.Bishop’s took a 3-1 lead after the first 45 minutes of play on goals by Gary Wazinak, Doug Jemmett and Andrew Blair.Ron Mongrane scored the only goal of the half for the Cougars.Wazinak opened the scoring at the 10-minute mark when his long blast rattled off the leg of a Cougar defender and into the net.After Mongrane tied the score, Jemmett scored off a beautiful passing play from Scott Washington.Washington scissor-kicked a pass to an open Jemmett, who had no trouble finding the target.Blair scored the Gaiters’ third goal when a powerful 60-foot shot off of a free kick managed to find the mesh.Wazinak scored his second of the game early in the second half off a Penalty shot and the Gaiters withstood the Cougar attack to record the exhibition win.Bishop’s returns to league play this weekend when they travel to Montreal to play McGill Friday , extra-base hits (6), total bases (24), batting average (.650) and slugging percentage (1.200).And he helped win Monday’s game with aggressive baserunning and alert defence.“Will Clark proved all season long, and this was just the capper, that he’s the best hitter in baseball,” the Cubs’ Mark Grace said That’s no small compliment, since the Cubs’ first baseman hit 647 in the playoffs with eight RBIs Giants manager Roger Craig has been around the big leagues about 33 years longer than Grace, and he was no less awed “You saw one of the great performances ever,’’Craig said “But Will has done that all year.” The pennant is the 16th for the Giants since the World Series started in 1903, but 14 came when the team played in New York.The Giants moved the San Francisco after the 1957 season, three years after their last World Series victory, a four-game sweep of Cleveland.Any Cubs diehard can recite that franchise’s sad chronology: Last pennant, 1945; last World Series victory, 1908 But unlike the near-misses of 1969 and 1984, there was no collapse this time and plenty to be happy about for a team picked for fifth or sixth in the NL East DAWSON SLUMPS “Shoot, Ernie Banks played 20 years or whatever and never got here (postseason play),” Grace said “It’s just been a wonderful time.“We got to the top of the hill but we couldn’t quite get over the hill.” One main reason is Andre Dawson, who slumped and hit .105.Dawson stranded six more runners Monday, three at third base, to make it 14 for the series.“I was just over-aggressive,” said Dawson.“I just tried to do too much with the pitches they were giving me.“I tip my hat to the Giants and especially Roger Craig I didn’t think they had that good pitching.” The playoff pitching wasn’t good on either side until Monday, when the rejuvenated Rick Reuschel engaged in a duel with the Cubs' Mike Bielecki It came down to managerial strategy in the late innings, and Don Zimmer paid the price for not lifting Bielecki after he’d issued his first three walks of the game with two outs in the eighth.“If he’d have given me some kind of a negative answer, 1 would have taken him out,” Zimmer said.“He said, T’m fine.I feel great.’” But there was no second-guessing among the Cubs.“We would have liked to win, but we didn’t,” Zimmer said.“I couldn’t be more proud of a ballclub in the 41 years I’ve been in the game.” The last World Series in which both teams slept in their own beds was New York’s subway series of 1956.Both Bay area teams are looking forward to this one.“We’re flattered to be playing them,” said Giants general manager A1 Rosen, obviously relishing the underdog’s role.“They ve got a great team and great management.“But we’ll be there for every game, I promise you that ” A’s manager Tony La Russa said there’s no NL team Oakland knows better than the Giants.“We play them a lot in spring training in Arizona And then because they’re in the area, we follow them closely and watch a lot of their games on TV.I’m a big fan of Roger Craig.” Sport shorts EDINA, Minn.(AP)— Minnesota Vikings veteran linebacker Scott Studwell was in good condition Tuesday at Fairview Southdale Hospital, a hospital spokesman said.Studwell was admitted to hospital Monday afternoon, but the hospital said it could not release the nature of his illness.Vikings spokesman Merrill Swanson said Studwell had suffered dehydration and was not feeling well during Sunday’s NFL game against Detroit.But Swanson said tests at the hospital were not completed and the problem not yet identified.PORTLAND, Ore.(AP) — A former high school football player has been awarded $11.2 million from a jury that concluded a defective football helmet caused him to suf fer a severe brain injury four years ago.A helmet made by the Bike Athletic Co was unreasonably dangerous, leading to acute bleeding within the brain of Richard Austria, then 16, a Multnomah County circuit court jury decided Monday in an 111 vote.The damage award is the largest in Multnomah County court, history and apparently marks the first time that an injury case involving a Bike helmet has been presented to a jury.TiiluEH CAR RENTAL ft MOVING TRUCKS WEEKEND SPECIALS

The Tea Room at the Ayer’s Cliff Fair was a success.In fact it was so popular, that it has become obvious that the tearoom is too small to do the job asked of it.One matter of concern was raised by a Provincial Health Inspector who made an official call at the Tea Room.He suggested that all the baked goods offered should have been prepared in one kitchen and only after government inspection was made of that kitchen.He stated that it is impossible for the government to check on each kitchen in each home used to prepare the foods offered for sale.He was told that bake sales are not only fundraisers for W.I.but also for most groups and have been as long as any one of us can remember.We hope the inspector was over-zealous in his remarks and we hope that we won’t hear further about the need for pro- vincial government inspection of our kitchens at home.The drawing was won by Mar- garet Belec.Hostesses were Olive Vaughan.Dulcie Burnell and Lila LeBaron f *1 Record Aline LeBlanc Advertising Consultant 569-9525 FAX: (819) 569-3945 OPERATION CRESSIDA EXCEPTIONAL DISCOUNT PERSONNIFIED POWER ALL COMFORT Local citizens sponsor sale and tea for the Wish Foundation By Debbie Smith On Sat.Sept.9, owners of “Place Notre Dame” in Rock Island opened their doors at 10 a m.to allow local townspeople to enjoy a sale and tea.Mary and Joseph Kesti/Khokler volunteer directors for the Eastern Township / Bois-Francs / Maurice Chapter, were on hand to show a video and to talk to visitors about the “Wish Foundation".The “Children’s W'ish Foundation” is a Federally Chartered, non profit organization, whose primary objective is to grant special wishes to children suffering from a terminal illness.As public awareness has increased, so has the number of children requesting their assistance.So thanks to the many who helped out in any way to make this day a great success.The local citizens were able to give Mary and Joseph a good sum of money to help make another child’s dream come true.The group plans on making this an annual event.During the afternoon tea, door prizes were drawn with the following names the lucky winners.Sylvia Bronson, Margaret Patterson, Suzanne Beaudin, Louise Roiles-ton, Doris Slack, Arlene Probyn and Colette Stebenne.A beautiful hand-made clock was donated by I^juise Rolleston and won by Irene Shelden.On behalf of the “Wish Foundation” they would like to thank Nellie and Bev Goodsell, Doris and Fred Slack, for the use of the hall.To Irene Shelden, Ruby Simpson, Louise Rolleston, Minnie Shelden, Gerry Shelden and Debbie Smith for organizing the day.To Jody Goodsell, Peggy Alger and Debbie Demers for waiting on tables.Also success.Your kindness has helped many thanks to anyone else who make some more dreams come helped in any way make this day a true.Thanks again.*u f 1 >• %» # Back row left to right: Joseph KestilKhokler, Arlene Probyn; second row: Irene Shelden, Mary KestilKhokler, Jody Goodsell; and front row: Doris Slack.A SOPHISTICATED TEAM ROAD PERFORMANCE THE AUTOMOBILE ADAPTED FOR INFORMED BUSINESS PEOPLE 8, * JLlwaiis closer to you! * mmmP.Back row left to right: Suzanne Beaudin, Sylvia Bronson, Minnie Shelden, Margaret Patterson and front row Joseph and Mary KestilKhokler.2059 KING WEST SHERBROOKE 563-6622 NATURAUZER LADIES' SHOES TENDER TOOTSIES $10.M2.MS.After 73 years in downtown Sherbrooke, Scheib's is closing its downtown store.The building has just been sold and we must vacate before the year-end.However, our women's specialty store NATURAUZER at the Carrefour de I'Estrie will continue operating as usual.LADIES' HANDBAGS MO.MS.s20.MEN’S SHOES Better value in footwear since 1916 WOMEN'S & MEN'S SN0WB00TS "JARMAN", "WALLABEES", "REGAL", LEVI", "JEAN-PIER CLEMENTE UP TO 50% OR MORE OFF s20.s25.s30.83 King W., Downtown Sherbrooke ALL SALES FINAL - NO EXCHANGES, NO REFUNDS MataafefeütMftfeftÉH
