More raw sewage dumped into Saint Lawrence River "Wow, you’ll never guess who has fled to the West, Gerda." Montreal to make AIDS drug By Allan Swift MONTREAL (CP) — A Montreal drug company with exclusive world rights to a process for treating AIDS patients has been granted a patent in the United States, the first country to grant one.Medicorp Inc.announced Tuesday it has been granted the patent for Passive Hyperimmune Therapy, or PHT, a process developed by Dr.Abraham Karpas of Cambridge University in England.Dr.Elliott Block, president of Medicorp, said in a telephone interview from Boston that getting a patent is not the same as being able to market the process.The treatment is still undergoing clinical trials.However, Block said getting the patent “gives us more comfort — as we spend a lot of money — that we have proprietary rights at the end.” Unlike the anti-AIDS drug AZT, PHT has not shown any side effects in trials.The new treatment involves taking the blood of patients with AIDS but who do not show symptoms of the disease, purifying the blood and infusing it into AIDS patients whose immune systems have been destroyed by HIV, the virus that causes AIDS.Karpas says the treated plasma contains high levels of neutralizing antibodies that can apparently kill the AIDS virus.AIDS patients lack such antibodies in their blood, so they are unable to fight off illness.Medicrop, a privately-held company with about 30 employees, holds exclusive world rights to the process.Block said patents have been applied for in other countries including Canada.TRIAL SUCCESSFUL A preliminary trial was conducted last year in London.Fifteen months after beginning the treatment, six of the original 9 patients are still alive and show no traces of HIV in their blood, Block said.Since then more than 50 patients have entered into a study at the Bronx Veteran’s Administration Center in New York.Block said the Bronx study will be reviewed at the end of the year.Block said the market potential for an AIDS treatment is enormous.There are about 50,000 patients in the United States.Following the London experiment completed late last year, Karpas said he believes the method could reverse the course of AIDS in some patients, or “at least keep it at bay.” AZT has been has been shown to prolong the lives of AIDS sufferers, but is toxic to bone marrow and causes anemia.About 2,000 Canadians now receive the drug at an annual cost of $10,000 each.As of Oct.30, there were 3,125 reported cases of AIDS in Canada, including 1,831 deaths.By John Davidson MONTREAL (CP) - Over 600,000 cubic metres of raw sewage per day will spew into the river which runs on the north side of Montreal island until the end of the week, the city's director of environmental services said Tuesday.A major breakdown in Montreal’s only sewage treatment plant occurred on Monday afternoon and allowed untreated sewage from toilets and drains — as well as waste from heavy industries — to spill into Riviere-des-Prairies, which empties into the St.Lawrence, Gerald Perreault said.The treatment plant — which cost $1.3 billion to build — was finally opened just last year but has had a number of technical problems, Perreault said.“On Monday, we had a breakdown in one of two conveyors which take dried sewage from the filters to the incinerator.” “The other conveyor had broken down in September, so we are unable to move anything.That meant that the sewage started spilling into the river and we won't be able to get it stopped for two to three days.” Already filtered sewage will have to go into the river, while new sewage will be kept in lagoons until the conveyors can be fixed and Perreault said it could take several more weeks before parts can be found Montreal’s sewage treatment plant is one of the most expensive in the world, but it has never worked properly, the head of an environmental group said Tuesday."That place is plagued with problems,” said Daniel Green, head of the society to conquer pollution.“If it isn’t the equipment that’s breaking down, it’s the computers.Ever since they tried to open it last year, something has gone wrong,” Green said "The problem lies with management who are trying to save money at every turn, but the effects will be felt by people who live upriver from Montreal and who have to drink the water that starts with our raw sewage in it." Drive away the evil spirits ^ i \ AS HOP Tuesday was Hallowe’en — the eve of All Saints Day.Since long before the advent of Christianity, it’s been a time of year to drive away the bad spirits before winter sets in.RECORD/PERRY BEATON Students at Sherbrooke Elementary School did their share during a Hallowe’en parade.By the time the youngsters were finished marchine.there wasn’t an evil eve in the place.Citizens of Baie Comeau are still fighting to have PCBs taken away BAIE-COMEAU (CP) — Residents of this northern Quebec community seeking an injunction to prevent PCB storage at Hydro-Quebec’s Manic 2 site will learn Thursday when they can plead their case.Mr.Justice Jacques Dufour of Quebec Superior Court said Tuesday he will decide Thursday whether to grant a delay requested by Hydro-Quebec and the provincial government.“We just want to get the PCBs out of there as soon as possible,” said Guylaine Gagne, one of the 50 citizens seeking the injunction.If the case is not postponed, the first witnesses will be called to testify Monday, Dufour said.Guy Bertrand, the lawyer representing the citizens’ group, said his clients cannot afford the additional costs that a delay would bring.He accused the government and Hydro-Quebec of stalling and asked the court to provide for a $60,000 payment from the government to the citizens’ group if a postponement is granted.Bertrand argued that storage of the PCB (polychlorinated biphenyl) waste at Manic 2 threatens the safety of the local population, so the injunction request should be heard without delay.PCBs, which emit a toxic smoke when burned, were developed as a coolant in electrical transformers Legere’s ghost haunts New Brunswick NEWCASTLE, N.B.(CP) — Even though most Halloween activities were cancelled along New Brunswick’s Miramichi River, a bogey man continued to haunt the area Tuesday.In the wake of recent violent crimes, most towns cancelled door-to-door trick-or-treating and police warned that anyone wearing a mask would likely be stopped and questioned.For many residents the recent murders, beatings and fires have become more frightening than anything Hollywood could possibly dream up.Police have suggested a serial killer, who carefully plans his attacks, may be on the loose.“Whoever it is, I hope he’s caught and put behind bars and kept there,” said one woman as she made her way home Tuesday night.Asked how serious the sewage spill is.Perreault said “well I wouldn’t want to swim in that river these days, but it’s too late for swimming anyway." The plant is located at the ex treme east end of Montreal island, an area dominated by oil refine ries.It was designed to treat millions of cubic metres of sewage each day, creating ten tonnes of sludge every hour.Jacques Dupuis, mayor of the town of Repentigny, just upriver from the sewage treatment plant, said he’s aware of the problem and is concerned about his town.“Every time there’s a spill over there, we get worried,” Dupuis said “In fact, we get our drinking water from another source, but you just don’t like to have that stuff floating past your front door."I’m sympathetic to Montreal’s problems getting that sewage plant going, but they'd better do something fast or there’ll be hell to pay.” Diane Laurin, a spokesman for the city of Montreal, said the city council is concerned about the problem and is looking for a solution “But you’ve got to realize that we're not the only ones putting raw sewage into Riviere-des-Prairies," Laurin said.“The city of Laval just to the north of Montreal is doing the same thing.So I guess you could say we're just adding to the problem this week.” Sherbrooke U.linked to Cogger scandal and have been linked to cancer in lab rats.NEEDS DELAY Hydro-Quebec lawyer Michel Yergeau said he needs a delay because the injunction request calls into question the Crown corporation’s entire system of waste management and the safety of its dams.Thirty containers of PCB waste from a warehouse fire in St-Basile-le-Grand were stored at Manic 2 in August after being turned back by British port officials.But it wasn’t until last Thursday that the government sent the regional government the notice required by law.“If they can catch a criminal in New York City, then surely to God we can catch one here on the Miramichi,” said another.During a recent town meeting, a local clergyman likened the situation to a horror movie.MONTREAL(CP) —Lawyer Michel Cogger sent bills to a federal Crown corporation totalling $74,250 between 1986 and 1988 after he was named to the Senate in May 1986, the Montreal Gazette re ported.The newspaper also said a Mon-treal company in which the Conservative senator is a principal shareholder benefited in 1987 from a $100,000 loan from the same agen cy — the Federal Business Development Bank The bank is a federally financed Crown corporation with a mandate to promote small and medium sized businesses by lending them money and providing manage ment-counselling services Under the Parliament of Canada Act, it is a conflict of interest for a senator to be involved in a contract involving public funds.Section 14 of the law prohibits senators from being concerned “in any contract under which tlje public money of Canada is to be paid.” In Ottawa, Cogger told the Senate the payments were made to the law firm he was working for and not to him personally.He said the firm, Lapointe Ro-senstein, billed the bank for work done before and after he was appointed to the Senate and “I have in some instances signed the covering letters accompanying such bills of fees.All payments were made to the firm.” Industry Minister Harvie Andre, who is responsible for the bank, told the Commons the agency does not have to ensure that the people it deals with conform to the provisions of the Parliament of Canada Act.Internal bank documents obtained by the Gazette through the Access to Information Act show that Cogger’s bills totalling $74,250 were part of $182,000 in invoices sent to the bank by the law firm Lapointe Rosen stein, between October 1986 and July 1988.The senator worked for the firm from 1983 until early this year Payments for both sets of bills submitted by Cogger and the firm were made out to Lapointe Rosens-tein WILL STUDY Mark Rosenstein, a partner in the firm, told The Canadian Press he planned to comment on-the Gazette report once he had studied it in detail.Rosenstein later said in a statement that he would not comment on the affairs of either the firm's clients or Cogger.“It should be noted, however, that the firm’s professional relationship with the Federal Business Development Bank began before Senator Cogger was appointed to the Senate and has continued since Senator Cogger ceased serving as counsel to the firm," Rosenstein said.Cogger did not return phone calls.Bank spokesman Ken Cavanagh refused to give details of what precisely Cogger and his firm did for the Crown corporation but said the bank had been told by a lawyer that it could deal with the firm whether or not one of its members was a senator.“The bank never did deal with Cogger directly,” Cavanaugh told The Canadian Press.“The bills came from the law firm and all payments went to the firm.No payments were made to the senator.” He said the payments to the firm were made for work which started before Cogger was appointed to the Senate by Prime Minister Brian Mulroney.The Gazette also reported that a Montreal company of which Cogger is a principal shareholder — Pluri-Canaujc Ltee — benefited from a $100,000 loan from the Federal Business Development Bank.The money was given to the University of Sherbrooke to enable it to pay for the production and distribution of a televised home-study course in management.The Gazette said Cogger personally lobbied bank president Guy Lavigueur for the loan in the summer of 1986.The senator owned 48.7 per cent of the firm in 1986,23.3 per cent in 1987 and 50 per cent in 1988.NOT CONFLICT Cogger told the Gazette that because the bank money went to the firm through the university, he was not in a conflict of interest.Cavanaugh said the bank was approached by the university to help finance an extension course in business management which cost $200,000 to produce.“We’d never done it before and we thought it was a good idea,” Cavanaugh told The Canadian Press.“We advanced the university $100,000 and they reimbursed us $120,000 a year later.” The Gazette said the contract sti-pulated that only Piuri-Canaux would have the right to sell the course but Cavanaugh said the bank “absolutely did not know that the company was co-owned by Cogger when it agreed to the arrangement.” Paul Prévost, dean of the university's business school, said the university did not consider that Cogger’s role in Piuri-Canaux placed him in a conflict of interest.“We knew from the start that Cogger was there as an investor,” Prévost said.“As for the rest, it’s none of our business.” Bourassa let down on Meech—Parizeau ‘Grey’ candidate runs for NDP leader OTTAWA (CP) — An 83-year-old retired pharmacist has joined the race for the leadership of the NDP.J.D.Johnson, of St.Thomas, Ont., said Tuesday he’s running because he wants a platform from which to denounce Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's Conservative government and speak up for seniors, the handicapped and youth."You might as weU go for the top,” he said when asked why he’s entering politics with a bid for a party leadership.“I think that’s the best way to do it.“I’m going more as an independent, thoughtful candidate.My chief aim is doing my duty to my country and trying to make a practical, lovable mankind.” Johnson said he has been involved with the NDP on and off ever since the party was created in 1961, and he will be a delegate from Niagara Falls at the leadership convention, which gets under way in Winnipeg on Nov.30.Party rules require leadership candidates to submit nomination papers signed by at least 50 New Democrats from at least eight different ridings or affiliated or- ganizations.in addition, they must put down a non-refundable $2,500 deposit.A party spokesman said Tuesday that Johnson had filed the necessary papers.He will be an official candidate once the names on his nomination list have been verified to ensure they are party members in good standing.There are seven other candidates for the NDP leadership: MPs Dave Barrett, Audrey McLaughlin, Steven Langdon, Howard McCurdy, Ian Waddell and Simon de Jong, as well as Roger Lagasse, a B.C.school teacher QUEBEC (CP) - Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s refusal to categorically reject the idea of a parallel accord to Meech Lake agreement means he has given Premier Robert Bourassa the constitutional heave ho, Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau said Tuesday.“I think Mr.Mulroney has just dumped Mr.Bourassa.(and) let him down,” Parizeau told reporters as the PQ caucus met to discuss the Meech Lake accord.On Monday, Mulroney did not dismiss outright New Brunswick’s proposal for a parallel constitutional agreement, telling reporters: “I have not yet seen a definition” of a parallel accord.Parizeau said: "It’s quite a turnaround for the federal government (to mention a parallel accord).” But Anne Lebel, a spokesman for GU Remillard, Quebec's intergovernmental affairs minister, said Mulroney’s remarks do not contradict statements made last week by Remillard that a parallel accord is a possibility — as long as Meech Lake remains intact.Parizeau, whose PQ wants Quebec to separate from Canada, said an increasing number of Quebecers feel “humiliated” by the mounting opposition in English Canada to the accord, which among other things recognizes Quebec as a distinct society.“We’re not surprised that English Canadians are reacting the way they are, but for Quebec federalists it can't be much fun these days They might be undergoing quite a shock.” PACT UNRATIFIED New Brunswick and Manitoba have not yet signed the pact, which Ottawa and the 10 premier* agreed to in 1987.Newfoundland Premier Clyde Wells has said his province might rescind its support.Two other premiers, Prince Edward Island’s Joe Ghiz, and Saskatchewan’s Grant Devine have said they believe the deal, which must be ratified by all provinces by next June 23, is dead.And Parizeau indicated he wouldn't be surprised if Ontario Premier David Peterson, a staunch supporter of the pact, tells Bourassa in the next few days to soften his position “A week ago, Mr.Peterson suggested that water should be put in the wine.He didn’t say whose wine.Shall we now see Mr Peterson suggesting that the wine was really Quebec's wine?” 2—The RECORD—Wednesday, November I, 1989 Perrin Beatty is haunted by U.S.By Scott White WASHINGTON (CP) — It was Halloween in the U.S.capital, and Health Minister Perrin Beatty found himself haunted by a statement he never made.Only in Washington, home of thousands of journalists and a president who responds to any question he’s asked, could such a mixup snowball into an embarrassing situation for the Canadian government.It all started early Tuesday when President George Bush, holding a news conference to announce that he would meet next month with Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, was asked why the U.S.government didn’t hold a summit on domestic health care.The questioner, a U.S.reporter, then told the president that Canada’s health minister had said the United States has one system of care for the rich and another for the poor.“I think what we’ve got to do is educate the Canadians if they feel that way because that’s not true,” Bush told the news conference, which was broadcast live across the United States.Whether or not it’s true that there is a two-tiered health care system in the United States is open to debate, but one thing is for sure — Beatty never made such an allegation.Shortly after the president’s news conference, the Canadian Embassy telephoned the White House to clarify that Beatty made no such statement, said Ambassador Derek Burney.Beatty was the keynote speaker Monday at a conference on the Canadian health care system, a day-long seminar sponsored by a private U.S.group concerned about older people.In his remarks, the minister extolled the virtues of Canada’s medicare plan — including its universality.But Beatty stopped short of criticizing the U.S.system, which is built around private health insurance plans that are too expensive for millions.“I’m down here at the invitation of Americans to explain our system, not to sell our system or not to attempt to persuade Americans to take Canada’s system,” Beatty reiterated Tuesday at news conference at the Canadian Embassy.“I think there’s a recognition on their part that by definition their system of medical insurance is not universal.There are a large number of people who aren’t covered.But whether they want to adopt a system such as we have in Canada is a decision for them to take.” While Beatty held meetings on other issues Tuesday with congressmen and members of the U.S.administration — including Health and Human Services Secretary Louis Sullivan — the bulk of his news conference was devoted to Bush’s response to the erroneous statement.The mixup was such a bother that Beatty suggested that he was homesick for members of the parliamentary press gallery.“I guess the only difference I’ve discovered when I’m down here is that all Canadian journalists are very careful of any questions that they ask to make sure that they represent what took place.I’m not sure that’s necessarily the case with the American (press) gallery.” Fortier leads UN on Namibia U.K.sends accused bomber to B.C.By Jim Sheppard LONDON (CP) — Inderjit Singh Reyat should be extradited to Canada to face manslaugher and explosives charges in connection with a 1985 bombing at Narita airport in Tokyo, Britain’s highest legal body ruled Tuesday.But it is unlikely the 37-year-old former Duncan, B.C., resident will be sent back in the near future.The House of Lords, in a terse one-line judgment, denied Reyat permission to appeal lower court decisions approving extradition.The Lords gave no reasons for the ruling.Tuesday’s decision ends the legal battle in Britain although Reyat has several options open to him to continue his fight against being returned to British Columbia to face trial.In Canada, he faces two charges of manslaughter and five counts of possessing explosives in connection with the June 23, 1985, explosion which killed two Japanese baggage-handlers.Canada needs a ‘Green’ tax—environment critic OTTAWA (CP) - Canada’s tax system should help clean up the environment as well as the government’s balance sheet, opposition MPs said Tuesday.Jim Fulton, the NDP enviro-ment critic, told the Commons a green tax is needed to encourage products and practices that are environmentally sound.However, the Tory majority in the House rejected his motion for such a tax in a 133-74 vote.“I do not take issue with the broad concern for the environment that is implicit in the motion,” said Gilles Loiselle, the junior finance minister, who responded for the government.“A tax system can be used to pursue good, desirable and important objectives, but only if it first meets the fundamental objectives of a tax system, namely to provide a stable, reliable source of public revenue.” Fulton told the Commons a green tax could apply to products that harm the environment, and thereby discourage their use.For instance, a “carbon tax” on fossil fuels would discourage the main cause of carbon dioxide emissions — which are largely responsible for the so-called greenhouse effect.“A green tax will do all this by making sure the product is as expensive as necessary for its complete and urgent removal and replacement,” said the member from British Columbia.“Part of the green tax (revenues) can be diverted as direct funding for R and D, replacement products, retooling and refitting.or for a reverse green tax credit for environmentally friendly or benign products.” GIVE BREAKS The tax credits could be structured to give breaks to such products as recycled paper, which helps the environment by reducing the destruction of forests and reducing garbage levels.Fulton also said the tax system could offer incentives for investors to sink money in ethical companies or funds — which attract investment by stressing the ethics of their business practices.Liberal MP Roy MacLaren said several European countries have used tax systems to reenforce their environmental policies.For instance, he said, Sweden taxes the active ingredients in pesticides and fertilizers.Finland and Norway impose charges on non-returnable containers.He said Canadian governments for years have used the tax system to encourage government policies, such as offering tax breaks for insulating homes in the 1970s.The same should be done for the environment, he said.The government could use a tax incentive on writing off capital equipment to urge companies to install gear that cuts down on pollution, for example.Fulton also said the government’s proposed federal sales tax is regressive because it applies equally to most products and services, regardless of how they affect the environment.«¦___tel itecnra Randy Kinnear, Publisher.569-9511 Charles Bury, Editor.569-6345 Lloyd G.Schelb, Advertising Manager.569-9525 Richard Lasaard, Production

Circulation Evidence presented earlier to the British courts indicates the Narita bomb exploded as the luggage in which it was hidden was being unloaded off a CP Air flight that had just landed in Tokyo from Vancouver.The evidence also indicates it was supposed to be transferred at Tokyo to an Air-India plane leaving a few hours later for India via Bangkok.Lawyers representing Canada in the extradition case have repeatedly told the British courts the incident was a case of “Sikh terrorism .conceived in Canada and directed beyond its shores at the state of India.” They have repeatedly described Reyat, an electrician who moved from Duncan to Coventry, England, in 1986, as a “devout Sikh.” The Canadian lawyers argued they have evidence to show Reyat bought in or around Duncan several objects that correspond in more than 160 ways to debris found after the Narita blast.They also argued they have enough evidence to convince a Canadian jury he must have assembled the bomb, must have given it to someone else and must have been involved with others in placing it on board the CP Air jetliner that unwittingly carried it across the Pacific Ocean to Japan.Reyat’s lawyers have countered that Canada has no proof of anything to do with “Sikh terrorism,” that it has insufficient evident linking Reyat to the Narita blast, that Canadian courts have no jurisdiction to hear the case, that there are technical problems with the wording of the Canadian charges and that Reyat has already been fully investigated in Canada for both Narita and the same-day bombing of an Air-India plane.329 KILLED The Air-India flight from Toronto and Montreal to Bombay via London blew apart over the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Ireland, killing all 329 people on board, most of them Canadians of East Indian origin.An official Indian government inquiry decided later that a bomb, loaded on a connecting flight from Vancouver, was responsible.The Canadian government has never gone that far.The two incidents have been repeatedly linked in the British courts, although Canada is seeking Reyat’s extradition only on charges relating to Narita.Reyat still has the right to appeal Tuesday’s decision by the Lords to the European Court of Justice or to the European Court of Human Rights.Either move which could take months, if not another year, to complete.His lawyers said Tuesday it is still too early to say whether he will exercise that option.Reyat can also file written arguments with the new British home secretary, David Waddington, asking him to refuse to sign the necessary extradition papers.In that case, Waddington would have to give detailed consideration to the issues raised.By Calvin Woodward UNITED NATIONS (CP) — Three weeks of haggling and posturing, along with the painstaking positioning of commas, went into Tuesday’s Security Council resolution on Namibia crafted under the direction of Canada's UN ambassador.As council president for October, Yves Fortier was servant, messenger and master of deliberations on an issue affecting a new country’s future and the prestige of the United Nations.The resolution, adopted unanimously, calls for strict compliance with the terms set for next week’s UN-supervised elections that are to lead to the writing of a Namibian constitution and independence next year from South Africa.It expresses “deep concern” not all conditions for the transition have been met, especially by South Africa’s security and administrative apparatus, but is far milder on that point than earlier proposed resolutions that almost ruptured negotiations.No one was totally happy with the result.But Fortier, a seasoned negotiator who believes you have to water down the wine before everyone will drink it, took that as a sign of success.SPOKE AS ONE As some 700,000 Namibians prepare to vote next Tuesday, Fortier said a unanimous message from the council was more important than a strong message from only some its members.“I interpreted my mandate as president to be one where I should do cartwheels in order to prevent division in the council,” he said after the 35-minute formal council meeting that capped the negotiations.The message the non-aligned countries on the council wanted to deliver was strong indeed.Although South Africa is routinely horsewhipped in UN rhetoric, an Oct.6 report by Secretary General Javier Perez de Cuellar cited “in- creasing compliance” with the Namibian independence plan by all parties and spoke hopefully of the chances for a fair election despite some problems.Shortly after, the non-aligned group, led by Colombia and Yugoslavia, handed Fortier an initial proposal for a council resolution that one western diplomat called “outrageously” one-sided.Knowing it would draw a veto from western countries if it ever came to a formal meeting as a draft resolution, Fortier nevertheless had to go through the process of sounding everyone out.TRY AGAIN.He reported back to the non-aligned: It won’t fly, try again.And thus began a process to balance and weaken the language so all 15 council members would go along.More drafts, each turning down the heat another little notch, came to his desk from the non-aligned group, acting on behalf of African states.More private meetings were called — one-on-one in the president’s office, one-on-one in corridors and at receptions where everyone is less stiff, meetings of deputies that went on through most of last weekend, and several rounds of closed consultations involving all members.Two formal council meetings were scheduled, then put off as the discord continued and Fortier sought to head off a divisive debate.The tough tone against South Africa in initial drafts raised some western suspicions that the Namibian-nationalist South West Africa People’s Organization was growing worried it would not win the two-thirds majority necessary to write the constitution unhindered, and SWAPO’s supporters were trying to discredit the elections in advance.“We knew they would be posturing, but they took a harder line than we suspected,” a diplomat said.SOUGHT BALANCE But council members were equally aware the propaganda advantage could swing to South Africa if the bargaining ended with a fracture in international opinion.“It would be a horrible message to send to South Africa,” the diplomat said.As success was achieved in private consultations on the eve of Tuesday’s formal meeting, a sense of almost comic relief washed over the gathering, diplomats said Commas in part of the English text were rearranged, prompting a flurry of comma shuffling in French and Spanish.The Chinese said they didn’t have any problems because they don’t use commas.When the Soviets were asked if they had any problems, the reply was: “Not yet.” There was momentary confusion as to whether the reply had been “nyet,” the Russian word for “no.” One western diplomat confided his opinion that the resolution that emerged was ‘‘emaciated — there’s nothing left of it.” But that wasn’t a criticism, because at least agreement had been reached.Finally, Fortier convened his only open meeting of the month, the 2,886th in the council’s history, in the chamber dominated by a huge work of art depicting human endeavors, human struggles and phoenix rising from the ashes.The council presidency, in one sense, makes the office-holder more of a witness than a referee, Fortier said as he prepared to turn the office over to Chinese Ambassador Li Luye today.“But there is some aura which is attached to the office which does allow him to try and knock heads together.” Freed from having to stay in New York, Fortier began turning his mind to a weekend trip to Montreal to meet his first grandchild, a boy bom Oct.9.Instead of criticizing Thatcher: Canada must act alone on apartheid MONTREAL (CP) — Instead of criticizing Britain’s Margaret Thatcher for holding back on South African sanctions, Canada should act unilaterally and give a six-month deadline for basic changes to apartheid, exiled South African author Donald Woods said Tuesday.Woods, whose book Biko formed the basis for the movie Cry Freedom, said that at the end of the six months, if apartheid remains essentially the same, Canada should move its embassy to a neighboring country and apply total sanctions.Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, attending the Commonwealth Summit two weeks ago, butted heads with Thatcher over sanctions, which she opposes.Woods told a meeting sponsored by a church group that sanctions had reduced South African government revenue by $20 billion over the past four years and was a leading cause of recent concessions on apartheid, the country’s system of race separation.The most important recent development was the South African government’s release last month of seven elderly leaders of the outlawed African National Congress, the major black political party, after decades in prison.The move so impressed the Canadian government that it announced that it will impose no new sanctions for six months to encourage the trend.But to Woods, a chain-smoking grey-haired man, there is “a great danger that people will think the end is near and pull back.It would be disasterous to do that." “The implication is that at the end of the six months something is going to happen.If they spelled it out now it would influence the South African government,” he told about 150 people.Woods, a former newspaper editor in South Africa, was banned in 1978 from writing or speaking publicly.He fled to Britain, where he wrote of his friendship with black leader Steve Biko, who was left to die by South African police after suffering a concussion in a beating.“At the present rate you’re not going to get rid of apartheid for five, six or seven years but if more pressure is applied we may get rid of it in four years,” he said.Canada has banned the import of uranium, coal, iron and steel and agricultural products of South African origin since 1986 and has discouraged tourism to that country.It also aids victims of apartheid inside South Africa and helps the Front Line states become less dependent on South Africa.But the Canadian government was embarrassed in January when Statistics Canada released figures showing trade between Canada and South Africa had increased by 68 per cent in the first 11 months of 1988.Anti-KGB protesters detained in Moscow MOSCOW (AP) — Police defended their truncheon-swinging attack on anti-KGB protesters by accusing them Tuesday of rioting.Police said 69 people were detained.Monday night’s melee marked the toughest official treatment of an unsanctioned gathering in the Soviet capital in more than 1% years.It followed a candlelight vigil outside KGB headquarters to commemorate victims of the late Soviet leader Josef Stalin.A splinter group of about 500 people chanting slogans against the Soviet secret police set off for Pushkin Square, where human rights demonstrations often take place.They were attacked by police, and scores of protesters were knocked to the ground, beaten and dragged into police buses.‘‘It was an unsanctioned demonstration and police had to break it up,” said Gen.Georgy Postoyuk, chief of Moscow’s Public Order Department.“They used force, as there was no other way to make the people stop rioting.” SWIFT JUSTICE He said in an interview 69 protesters were detained.One was given a 15-day jail sentence Tuesday by an administrative judge, while others got seven- or five-day terms or fines, PostoyuK said.Witnesses said police attacked without warning and the demonstrators had been peaceful.The Tass news agency said the protesters were “trying to create as much disruption as possible, to display anti-Soviet posters and shout anti-Soviet slogans.” Many were members of the Democratic Union, a group founded to challenge the political monopoly of the Communist party and create a western-style parliamentary democracy in the Soviet Union.The brutal treatment was especially jarring because of the greater tolerance for dissenting points of view that had seemed to be becoming official practice in Moscow under Mikhail Gorbachev.Ottawa asks Israel to explain shooting OTTAWA (CP) — Canadian has asked the Israeli Embassy in Ottawa to account for the shooting of a CBC-TV reporter with a rubber

Although the Economic Equality for Spouses law has been passed, the Bourassa government has yet to tackle some of the problems facing judges who will have to implement it.Once the value of a couple’s assets is tallied, there are no fixed guidelines as to whether a spouse can demand an immediate allowance for something like a pension.There are also no rules covering taxation of assets received after a divorce.A new family law is expected early next year to square away these questions.In the meantime, Communications Quebec offices in Sherbrooke (819-569-9083) and Granby (514-375-5664) are fielding questions and providing documentation for those who still aren’t sure who gets what.The RECORD—Wednesday, November 1, 1989—3 Marriages begin in happiness, but many end in divorce.A new Quebec law sets rules for splitting couples' assets.People are only free ‘when they can work for themselves* Tools for Peace: Canadians can afford to give Nicaragua more By Scott David Harrison SHERBROOKE — Gérard Cam-bron lives one continent and some 2000 miles away from Nicaragua, but that doesn’t stop him from caring.The 72-year-old Roman Catholic missionary has built his life around caring.For the past 30 years, the tall, slender grey-haired man has donated countless hours to help make the public aware of the life-and-death realities of the Third World.He has spent the past eight years working for Nicaragua’s future.It has been no smaU chore.Nicaragua has been jolted with violence for as long as anyone can remember.Most recently, it hit the headlines when president Daniel Ortega announced at last week’s meeting of North, South and Latin American leaders that he would break an 18-month cease-fire between his socialist government troops and the Contra rebels backed by the United States.The politics of government are not Cambron’s concern, though.He worries about the politics of under-development and education.HE IS NOT ALONE And he is not alone.For the past eight years other Canadians have shown their concern through a project called ‘Tools for Peace.’ Tools for Peace is a non-profit organization dedicated to help Nicaraguans control their own destiny.Funds collected by the Tools campaign are used to buy machines, tools and educational books for the Nicaraguan people.The supplies purchased are manufactured in Canada.“It is useless to send them money,” said Cambron, who has just returned from trips to Brazil, Chile and Argentina.“It is useful to send them tools.” “These people will only be free when they can work for themselves,” Cambron said.“Imagine Assisted by Thérèse Godbout, missionary Gerald Cambron is combing Canada for money for Tools for Peace for Nicaragua.* - o • V * .‘A'.V.having people who are capable of taking care of themselves and producing what they need to live.That’s what this campaign is all about.” Tools for Peace was started in 1981 when a group of British Columbia workers visited Nicaragua with modem machinery and tools to help locals produce their own goods.The Canadians went to Nicaragua despite a U.S.-imposed trade embargo on the Latin American country Eight years later, despite U.S.-Nicaragua conflicts, seven other countries have adopted Tools for Peace, including Holland, France, India and Mexico.CLEAR OF GOVERMKNTS The plan steers clear of all government and Cambron says that is one of the major reasons for its success.“This kind of aid doesn’t put people in debt,” he said.“Government-to-government aid only causes more poverty.People-to-pcople aid is what really helps the others to live." Canadians annually give about $1.5 million to Tools for Peace, Cambron said.In Quebec $231,094 was raised last year.Cambron said he is grateful for every cent given, but added that Canadians can afford more.He would like to see at least $2 million from Canada each campaign.That would double what the Ca nadian government presently gives, Cambron said.He added the government could easily afford $25 million each year for the next five years if the country were commit ted to seeing the Third World stand on its own.“We have to inform the public so they can put pressure on the Cana dian government so they will do more.” Until the government acts, Cambron said, he’ll fight for Nicaragua’s future, even if it costs him his own.NVork getting done ‘a bit later’ Cowansville: Pen pickets provide few parole problems By David Tweedie SHERBROOKE — An official with Corrections Canada says a picket line Tuesday outside Cowansville Penitentiary had only a “minor” effect on operations inside the federal prison.The picket line, manned by stri- king parole officers, is partly respected by prison guards and other workers at the prison, who will only enter after police arrive on the scene.This causes delays in the shift changes, but Guy Petitclerc of Corrections Canada said there have been no major complications.“Some things that would be done at 8 or 9 o’clock are done a bit later,” he said in a telephone interview.Shift disruptions are just one of the effects the parole officers say their strike is having.POLICE NEEDED A spokesman for the parole offi- Help for the blind costs lots of money Marie-Claude Laçasse has diabetes.It has cost all her sight and much of the use of her kidneys, but not her spirit.Marie-Claude and this newly trained seeing eye dog got on like a house on fire Tuesday, but she will get her own four-legged companion only next spring.It costs $12,000 to train a dog and its new owner.The public can help by buying little pins, lapel buttons and little furry things at stores and hospitals in the Sherbrooke area.Eric St-Pierre started the MIRA foundation in 1981 when the only way to get a guide dog was to have one trained in the United States, where language and climate are very different.St-Pierre said at a news conference he now goes to Toronto every two weeks to train dogs and their people.Jean Royer said the best time to train a dog with its new owner— an arduous month long process — might be spring and fall, but that the very best time is when MIRA has the money.The fund raising articles can be bought at Canadian Tire (King-Jacques Cartier), Jean Coutu pharmacies in Sherbrooke; Terraces Rock Forest, Place Belvedere, Sherbrooke Hospital, St-Vincent de Paul hospital and Sherbrooke University hospital (CHUS).— Perry Beaton cers’ union at the penitentiary and the Granby parole office said the need for Quebec Police Force members and Cowansville police to clear a path through the picket line means there are fewer patrol cars doing what they normally do.PhUippe Godin said the two-day-old strike also means that the parole board is no longer getting the case preparation and professional analysis on inmates who request parole or other privileges.“The main result for the nearby community is that there are up to 190 parolees who are at large without supervision,” Godin said.But according to Petitclerc that statement is not true.He said convicts out on parole or mandatory supervision are still supervised.Petitclerc said emergency measures have been put into effect at all federal institutions hit by the Canada-wide strike.He said super- Ooe-cai- accident Death trial set to open By John McCaghey GRANBY TO COME ifS UKB AM LfOTITLEMEDT H3DGRAM R*!

Thr RKCORIV-Hednpsdi.v.November 1, 198S-11 Sports #1___gpj icecora Smith goes shopping MONTREAL (CP) — Bryn Smith is on the verge of joining Mark Langston and Hubie Brooks on the free-agent market after turning down a contract offer from the National League’s Montreal Expos.Bill Stoneman, vice-president of Expos operations, said Monday that team management made an offer on Thursday and Smith’s agent, Jim Bronner, phoned to say they had rejected it.Stoneman said he wouldn’t be surprised if Smith files for free agency as early as today."Bryn seems to have taken a decision to find out what the market will pay.” The Expos knew Langston and Brooks would file, which they did Monday, but had hoped to avoid a bidding war for Smith.The veteran right-handed pitcher, who earned $550,000 this year, wants a three-year contract.The Expos originally offered a two-year package with a first-year base salary of $1.2 million but later offered a three-year deal.Smith finished the 1989 season at 10-11 with a 2.84 earned run average.Bryn Smith goes free agent route.The Expos have no offers on the table for Langston or Brooks.They withdrew a three-year, $10.8-million offer to Langston and have been not made an offer to Brooks.Brooks, who earned $950,000 this year, mused Monday in a phone call from his home in Los Angeles that “Califiornia would be a nice place to play” but he’d listen to any offer made by the Major-leaguers opting towards better dollars NEW YORK (AP)—Mark Davis, the San Diego Padres reliever who led major-league baseball with 44 saves, was among 18 players who filed for free agency Tuesday, raising to 36 the two-day number of those filing.Davis struck out 92 batters in 922-3 innings and was 4-3 with a 1.85 earned-run average.He made $600,000 in 1989, and in April rejected a two-year contract extension worth $2.2 million.At the time, he was asking for $2.8 million.“Mark will pursue his opportunities,” said Davis’s agent, Randy Hendricks.“We have no preconceived biases for or against any team.” Padres owner Joan Kroc, who is trying to sell the team, has designated Chicago lawyer Fred Lane as the club’s chief negotiator with Davis, bypassing team president Dick Freeman and Tony Siegel, the club’s vice-president for baseball operations.Davis, 29, had the second-highest save total in National League history.Bruce Sutter set the NL record of 45 in 1984 with the St.Louis Cardinals.The major league record of 46 is by Dave Righetti of the New York Yankees.Also filing Tuesday were New York Mets first baseman Keith Hernandez and three pitchers from the Boston Red Sox — Dennis (Oil Can) Boyd, former Blue Jay Dennis Lamp and Greg Harris.Second baseman Tony Phillips of the World Series champion Oakland Athletics filed, as did lefthander Craig Lefferts and outfielder Pat Sheridan of the National League champion San Francisco Giants.Also filing were Keith Moreland and Mark Thurmond of the Baltimore Orioles, Garry Pettis of the Detroit Tigers, Ed Romero of the Milwaukee Brewers, John Tudor and Dave Anderson of the Los Angeles Dodgers, Bryn Smith of the Montreal Expos, Steve Lake of the Philadelphia Phillies and Jim Gott and Neal Heaton of the Pittsburgh Pirates.Oakland decided Tuesday not to exercise Ron Hassey's option, making the catcher eligible for free agency.Brian Downing, who is not eligible, had his option for 1990 exercised by the California Angels.He will get $1.25 million.Players eligible for free agency have until Nov.13 to file.They can talk with all teams now but can discuss money only with their former club until Nov.13, when they are free to deal with all clubs.NL manager - Zimmer NEW YORK (AP) — Don Zimmer was named National League Manager of the Year Tuesday for leading the Chicago Cubs to the East Division title, his first championship as a manager.Zimmer, who was run out of Boston for failing to guide the Red Sox to a division title in the late 1970’s, received 23 of 24 first-place votes from a panel chosen by the Baseball Writers Association of America.San Francisco’s Roger Craig, a close friend and former teammate of Zimmer, got the other first-place vote.“You feel like you want to share it with everybody who played a part .the players who did the playing and Jim Frey, who hired me and got criticized for doing it,” Zimmer said.“It just seemed like every move he made helped out the club.” Zimmer-got 118 points in the 5-3-1 voting and Craig, who received 17 second-place votes, got 62.Whitey Herzog of St.Louis was third with 31 points and Art Howe of Houston was fourth with four points.Jack McKeon of San Diego got one point.The 58-year-old Zimmer was named Cubs manager Nov.20, 1987, replacing Frank Lucchesi.Chicago finished 77-85 in 1988 and 93-69 Sport shorts this year, winning the division by six games over New York.Zimmer was villified when Boston blew a 14'/2-game lead in 1978 and lost the AL East to New York in a playoff.The Red Sox were 411-304 during his 4Vi seasons but he got very little credit.But as the Cubs won their second NL East title in five years, Zimmer was proclaimed a genius.He found that a little humorous, especially after Chicago lost the pennant to San Francisco in five games and he was criticized for some of his moves.“I was a dummy the last three games we played, a total dummy, but that’s baseball,” Zimmer said.“I didn’t do anything different the last three games we played except the decisions I made didn’t turn out too good.“In the playoffs, we did not play well and every move I made didn’t turn out right.But we clinched this thing in Montreal and I was pretty smart,” he said, half-jokingly.“But after we played the Giants, I got dumb in a hurry.” Zimmer, a .235 hitterin 12 major-league seasons, managed in the minors from 1967-70.Among his coaching stints was one ie 1981 for Montreal in 1981.BALTIMORE (AP) — Veteran Baltimore Orioles pitchers Dave Schmidt and Mark Thurmond have become two of the first victims of the Orioles turnaround this summer.being told to shop themselves around the free agent marketplace.Schmidt.32, made $650,000 last season, making him the highest-paid pitcher on the team.The Opening Day starter finished with a 10-13 record and a 5.69 ERA.Thurmond, 33, went 2-4 with a 3.90 ERA.Catcher Jamie Quirk will also be dropped from the 40-man roster and offered a minor-league contract, the team said.TORONTO (CP) — The Toronto Blue Jays announced Tuesday they’ve renewed their player-development contract with Myrtle Beach, S.C., of the Class A South Atlantic League.The American League East champions also announced that Mike Fischlin will return for his second season as manager of the Myrtle Beach Blue Jays.NEWPORT, Wales (AFP) — New Zealand captain Wayne Shel-ford was lectured for punching as the All Blacks pulverized Newport 54-9 here Tuesday.TÊLDEN CAR RENTAL A MOVING TRUCKS WEEKEND SPECIALS CHRYSLER VEHICLES VAL CtTAiC 822-4141 High school’s ‘Super Bowl’ on the line The Pipers and the Crusaders will clash for it all today at BCS.a?1/ j» By Scott David Harrison SHE R B ROOKE - When the Bishop’s College School Crusaders take to the field today, they'll try to strip Alexander Galt of its pride and its dignity.But.most importantly, the Crusaders will try to strip Galt of its trophy.For two years, the Pipers have been kings of the hill in high school football.But all that could change today at 2 p.m.when the teams take to the field for the Eastern Townships Interscholastic Athletic Conference final at BCS.“We are ready to go full-steam ahead,” said BCS’s co-coach Mark Gallagher.UNDEFEATED SEASON Full-steam is the exact gear the Crusaders have been in all season.They finished the year undefeated, 5- 0-1.The only belmish came in a 6- 6 draw with Galt the last time the two teams met.Bishop’s won the only other meeting of the two teams 7-2.Galt head coach David Shields said if the Pipers have any hopes of winning they are certainly going to have to score more points than the eight they have amassed in the other two meetings.“I think we should have scored more when we played them,” Shields said Tuesday.“I just don’t think eight points will do it.We are going to have to double that if we want to win.” Roy stones Shields said his not going to have to pull rabitts out of a hat to score against BCS.Instead, he said it's up to his young Pipers to get the job down.•STOPPED TWICE’ “Last time we played we were stopped twice inside their five-yard line,” he said.“We’re just going to have to dig in, suck it up and go after it.” "We don’t have to do things differently, we just have to do things better,” the Galt boss said.“I told the kids we have to develop the killer instinct.” Gallagher, who shares Bishop's coaching duties with Michel Cameron, called the game “Super Bowl Day.” Bishop’s has the edge in the running department with super-back Ewen Lilford.Lilford.who has been the crux of the Crusaders of- fence all year, will be supported in the backfield by newcomer Paulo Fonsato.Fonsato showed his ability last week in the team's 17-0 triumph over Standstead College when, with the help of a Lilford block, he broke loose for a 50-yard run HIGH SCHOOL CIRCUIT Galt's game will most likely revolve around quarterback John Maddis's throwing arm When he's hot.Maddis is the best the local high school circuit has to offer."We feel the two games that we had couldn't have got any closer." Gallagher said "We’re just glad that we have home field advan tage.” Inclimate weather may put the burden of responsibility on each teams' defence.Shuting down the Crusaders could prove difficult.In BCS's last two games they have out-scored their opponents 59-0 — granted one game was a 42-0 thumping of 66 Séminaire Salesien.“I think it's going to be a heck of a defensive struggle," Gallagher said, “but, then again, our offence has really been moving the ball." Shields has his own version of how will come out on top."The team that makes the fewest mistakes will win it all," he said.Islanders to extend Habs’ streak UNIONDALE, N Y.(AP) — Patrick Roy stopped 28 shots Tuesday night to lead a strong defensive effort as the Montreal Canadiens blanked the New York Islanders 3-0.Bobby Smith and Ryan Walter scored second-period goals while the Islanders were held to three shots on goal in the period and fell to 0-4-2 at the Nassau Coliseum.The victory was the Canadiens’ third straight and their first win in the last four road games.Roy, who has the second-best goals-against average in the NHL to date, recorded his first shutout this season and 10th of his career.Late in the first period he made a nifty glove save on Gerald Diduck, who was practically on top of him.Early in the third period Roy smothered a close-in shot by David Volek and later stopped Dave Chy-zowski’s short backhand shot.Smith beat Islanders goalie Mark Fitzpatrick with a backhander from the bottom of the right circle at 1:15 of the second period.Walter connected from the left circle through a partial screen at 15:02.Chris Chelios scored Montreal's final goal on a backhander from the right circle at 4:33 of the third.’Hawks 5 Nordiques 3 QUEBEC (CP) - Jeremy Roe nick scored his first goal of the sea son and added an assist to lead the high-flying Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-3 victory over the slumping Quebec Nordiques in the NHL on Tuesday night.Roenick, a rookie playoff sensa tion for Chicago last season, nee ded 14 games to get his first of the season on a powerplay at 14:02 of the second period to give the Black-hawks a 3-2 lead.He then set up Greg Gilbert in the high slot to score the game winner on a low shot off the post at 12:04 of the third frame.The Nordiques made it close with a goal from Steven Finn on a long shot through heavy traffic at 15:25 but the Blackhawks got it back with an empty net goal from Mike Hudson with eight seconds left to play.NHLPA to take a look into Flyers-Jets scam WINNIPEG (CP) - The National Hockey League Players’ Association wants Pete Peeters and Keith Acton placed back on waivers.“We think it’s a joke,” association president Alan Eagleson said Tuesday of the trade that dealt the two Philadelphia Flyers to and from Winnipeg in a span of five days last month.The Flyers traded Peeters and Acton to the Jets for future considerations three days before the Oct.2 waiver draft.The veteran goaltender and centre never reported to Winnipeg and on Oct.3 they were dealt back to Philadelphia for a sixth-round draft choice in 1991.Flyers general manager Bobby Clarke said at the time “nothing’s illegal” and has since maintained “the first trade was not contingent on the other.” Eagleson contends otherwise and wants the players’ association to take a strong stand on the move.“Our difficulty is we can only respond to a request from a player,” he said from his Toronto office.Peeters and Acton are content to stay in Philadelphia and aren’t making waves over the deal.“Despite that, we may have to do something as an association of the players to stop this kind of thing in the future,” said Eagleson.“We told Peeters and Acton, what happens next year when Winnipeg protects eight players?” The waiver draft is designed to strengthen weaker teams and keep players active by limiting each club’s ability to stockpile talent.The draft is considered beneficial to careers because it moves marginal players to teams that can use their services on the ice, not on the depth chart Flames’ Peplinski hangs up blades CALGARY (CP) — Jim Peplinski took a skate down Memory Lane on Tuesday, recalling the good times and close friends he enjoyed during nine years as a member of the Calgary Flames.It wasn’t until later, after he announced his retirement from the National Hockey League team, that the personable captain recounted his biggest disappointment: the night last May he watched in street clothes as his team won the Stanley Cup.“It was a big disappointment not to play but you get over it,” said Peplinski, 29.“You realize it’s not one game that makes that victory.In this case it was nine years of sweat.” A native of Renfrew, Ont., Peplinski remained dry-eyed and spoke in an unwavering voice while delivering an elegant reti- rement speech full of warmth, humor and praise for the Flames.“I could continue playing but from my point of view I think it’s time,” he said.“This hasn’t been a decision that has been reached in the last week.It’s something I have been considering for five months.” Peplinski ends his career with 161 goals and 262 assists, plus 1,456 penalty minutes.With hunting equipment from ABM, You just can't miss! fymington Sportsman Model 78.Bolt-action.30-06 cal.Regular

opponents with an extra tool for bidding their cards to the hilt Of course it’s fine for Blast to jump to three diamonds, but look how North-South used that bid to their advantage.After South bid three spades, what should North do"’ He has a comfortable raise to four spades, and more First-round controls in hearts and clubs, a singleton diamond, and good support for a suit that South was able to bid freely at the three-level, add up to a slam-invitational hand He fig ured how to send out his invitation he cue-bid four diamonds.Although South had minimum values, he could picture the good fit between the twv hands.He asked for aces and bid slam When the king of clubs was led, de clarer had some slight worry that West might be void in diamonds If that were the case, he was probably doomed to defeat He won dummy’s club ace, played A-K-Q of hearts, shedding a club and a diamond, and then led a diamond back to his ace.When West followed with the 10, South was able to ruff diamonds in dummy, knock out the ace of trumps and make his contract.I don’t suggest that East or West should stay out of the bidding — South might get to slam anyway — but it was ironic here that boldly getting in the way made it easy for North-South to bid the slam.James Jacoby's books “Jacoby on Bridge’ and “Jacoby on Card Games’ (written with his lather, the late Oswald Jacoby) are now available
