from 11.5% to 17%.The nurses, however, have thrown a wrench into the government’s well-crafted-PR plan by going to the wall now instead of the Fall.As a Le Devoir poll last weekend showed, nurses generally have the support of the public.If they had waited until $eptember, their grievances would be drowned out by the protests of other public employees.The nurses have also set a trap for Premier Bouchard.They still want an immediate 10 per cent catch-up for university-trained nurses, but they reduced overall wage demands from 15 per centover three years to 6 per cent over the first two years with the third year open.They are also determined to deal with workload problems and nursing shortages, issues that everyone in Quebec, including PQMNAs, accepts as crucial after three years of slashing to the health system.The government has decided it has no choice but to protect patients and use some of its penalizing powers.But if it roughs up the nurses and unleashes all its powers under the law as well as imposing a settlement, then we are in for nasty Summer and a tumultuous $eptember.Meanwhile, forgotten but not to be ignored are 1,000 hospital pharmacists whose study days and slowdowns have not impressed the government.They are threatening to hand in their resignations en masse this week if there is no movement in talks.They want pay equity with clinical biochemists, which would mean a 17% salary catch-up.Teachers QCNA Columnist Glenn Wanamaker public sector employees, including Waiting in the wings are about 80,000 teachers, who are promising to begin their protests on the very first day of school.They will boycott all ex- - tracurricular activities as well as school meetings, and strictly adhere to their work schedule.A strike in October has not been ruled out.They too want more than the government’s offer of 5%.They also insist the government move forward with pay equity, as well as add resources to compensate for increased workload and classroom overcrowding.Then there are the civil servants themselves.Most of the major unions have already asked for mediation services, a mandatory step towards exercising the right to strike.This would put them in a strike position by October.Policy issues If you think money is the root of all evil, then you might use the summer months to reflect on the place of religion in the schools.The debate, launched by the Proulx report in April which recommended Catholic religion classes be scrapped in favour of one course teaching all religions, will resume in the Fall.Earlier this month, Education Minister François Legault suggested an alternative might be to offer religion “à la carte”, whereby students could choose from a menu of religion classes offered by representatives of different religions.In September, meanwhile, a series of public consultations will begin on other topics, including draft legislation to implement new rules on the handling, treatment, and recycling of domestic garbage.The bill would force industry to either help finance the blue box recycling program or take steps to collect and recycle their packaging themselves.It would also require municipal- ities to draw up waste management plans and let them block importation of waste from outside their territory.The great debate over water also resumes in the fall with a final round of public hearings.The Environment Ministry’s Water Commission has already held two sets of hearings, the first to hear general comments and the second to debate specific themes, such as the quality of drinking water, agricultural impacts, watershed management, protection of the underground watertable, and water exports.Summer headlines If indeed you are heading for the beach, here are the headline stories you will miss in coming weeks, as promised by assorted Cabinet ministers.• The federal-Quebec haggling over Ottawa’s Millennium scholarship fund is so exasperating for students, they are threatening to occupy Education Minister Legault’s office until a deal is struck.Quebec’s share of the federal fund is $70 million, which is supposed to be available to students for this Fall.But the governments can’t agree on certain details, such as the mobility of students between provinces, despite negotiating for months.• Premier Bouchard said he will await the outcomes of meetings this week over the future of the Gaspesia paper mill in Chandler before deciding how the government might intervene.The mill closed last week for an indefinite period, throwing 350 people out of work.Permanent closure would be devastating, and local officials say the impact on the region would be as great as the impact on Montreal if 50,000 jobs were suddenly lost.• And any moment now, Cabinet will approve the final two English health care access plans for the Townships and Montreal.Y2K bug a laughing matter - de Jager Doomsday 2000 author now laughing at millennium bug By lan Wilson $un Media Go ahead and laugh at the y2k bug - the man who spent so much time making people worry about it is.Peter de Jager, author of the 1993 Computerworld article Doomsday 2000 and the person credited with sounding the Y2K alarm, has released a book which pokes fun at the millennium bug.“The idea is to inject some levity into a situation that, quite frankly, has gotten out of hand,” said de Jager from his home in Brampton, Ont.“We have to learn to laugh at things.If we continue to say ‘The sky is falling, the sky is falling,’ we do ourselves a disservice.” De Jager has spent the last eight years warning people about the consequences of not wiping out the Y2K bug.In that time, he’s testified before both the U.S.Congress and Canada’s House of Commons and has been appointed a special advisor to Great Britain’s government.He’s written countless articles and given hundreds of speeches on the topic and he continues to do so.But de Jager hopes his parody book, The Bug Stops Here!!!, will change his image of being a “gloom sayer.” “There is no reason to run to the hills.If I can laugh at this .it can’t be that bad.” He hopes computer programmers who’ve had to deal with the pressure of Y2K deadlines will also be able to laugh at it.“We need it.This is the project from hell and this thing has gone on too long,” said de Jager.“As a bit of a stress release, it’s timely” The Y2K guru also thinks a humourous approach is one of the best ways of attacking some of the more outlandish predictions about the millenni- um bug.“Some of the statements are so ludicrous — one person said there will be no power in North America forever.“The best way to argue some of the ludicrous things is to lampoon them.” The end-of-the-world crowd has been a source of some amusement for de Jager at his speaking engagements.He describes his experience at TV evangelist Pat Robertson’s Y2K conference as “the most bizarre function” he ever spoke at.“These folks seemed to want to hear really negative stuff.” When he told the audience to take some precautions but not to panic, they reacted with disappointment, and after he put the wraps on his speech, silence - rather than applause — greeted him.

The targets: • Manitoba: Jake Hoeppner.• Saskatchewan: Lee Morrison and Allan Kerpan.•Alberta: Ian McClelland, Dave Chatters, Cliff Breitkreuz, Myron Thompson, Jack Ramsay, Dale Johnston and Grant Hill.•B.C.: Jim Abbott, John Cummins, Keith Martin, Ted White, Randy White, Mike Scott, Jay Hill, Dick Harris, Val Meredith and Jim Hart.Will Gerhard Varson please stand up?The Bank of Canada has $428,598.58 to his name By Maryanna Lewyckyj Sun Media Toronto Gerhard Varson should be laughing all the way to the bank, but for some reason he isn’t.Varson has the curious distinction of owning the largest unclaimed dormant bank account in Canada: $428,598.58 to be exact.For more than 14 years, Varson’s funds have languished untouched, as neither Varson nor any of his heirs have stepped forward to claim the booty.Varson’s account is one of more than 47 dormant accounts containing $50,000 or more that are being held by the Bank of Canada, waiting to be claimed by the rightful owner.One account, containing $54,489.31, has been dormant for more than 30 years.In total, the Bank of Canada is overseeing 747,000 accounts holding $145.6 million of unclaimed funds.The oldest balance dates back to 1900.In 1998, Canadians claimed 9,770 accounts with a total door value of $4.7 million.At the same time, 86,704 accounts containing less than $500 went unclaimed after 20 years, giving the government the right to snatch the funds for a $4.3-million cash grab.Every year, Canadian banks are required to transfer to the Bank of Canada all unclaimed bank balances that have been inactive for 10 years.Balances over $500 are maintained indefinitely by the Bank of Canada, while balances under $500 end up in government coffers if unclaimed for an additional 10 years.Prepare OO meals with our cookbooks / !

It was pretty good pay - $100 an hour." Three years in a row, Fitzgerald won the Montreal Marathon and the $500, until they stopped giving a monetary prize.The same year she began running the marathon, she visited her son in Vancouver and entered the Canadian Squash Championship.Fitzgerald soon discovered all the players knew each other."Who's that French lady?" she said she overheard her competitors in the dressing room.Their anxieties were justified.The only player over 40, Fitzgerald won.She continues to teach squash at Bishop's University.She gave up marathon running when her husband suffered a stroke five years ago, but continues to run from her home in Lennoxville to the experimental farm and plays tennis and other sports.At her home, she has proudly displayed pictures of her family - two girls, four boys and 13 grandchildren.It is her family and her sports that are paramount in Ruth Fitzgerald's life.Ruth Fitzgerald plays tennis and teaches squash at Bishop’s University.LUCAS LAUJER/SPECIAL TO THE RECORD Lennoxville LINK Tuesday, June 29, 1999 page 11 té ,kr.BHBI SfeKfliP’*' HEw 'iBB!

Viagra By Steve Payne Sun Media The magic is still there when Alex Langlands and his wife, Kathleen, make love.There was a time when they did it more often, but then they’re not spring chickens anymore.Alex is 81, Kathleen 76.That’s right, kids, old guys still do it.“It’s a myth that an old man can’t get it up anymore,” says University of Toronto professor Benjamin Schlesinger, 70, a lecturer on human sexuality.“Somehow children don’t think parents are sexually active.They can’t figure this out, the idea of someone elderly being sexually active.They only see the young do it in movies.” The Langlands’ have been married for 52 years and have a daughter and two grandchildren.They have discussed their sexuality with their daughter.' Intimacy grows’ “As you grow older the intimacy grows,” says Kathleen.“You can almost tell what the other person is thinking.When you are both old and you make love, it makes you closer, you really realize how much you mean to each other, I can’t bear the thought of losing Alex.The sun would not shine for a while,” she adds.“A lot depends on your attitude,” says Alex, smiling.“I’ve got some Viagra upstairs, but I’ve never used it yet.” Sexuality among the elderly was a hot topic at a recent geriatric-care conference at McMaster University in Hamilton.Society tends to sweep seniors’ sexuality under the rug, reported Wanda Smith, an instructor at the university.“It’s a real eye-opener for the students, who are all in their 20s,” she says.“They don’t even want to think about their parents having sex, let alone their grandparents,” Smith says.Research shows seniors are busy in the bedroom.A U.S.survey of 6,000 married couples aged over 60 found 55% of them made love at least once a week.Maggie Gibson, a psychologist at Parkwood Hospital, a 360-bed veterans’ care unit in London, says the sexual and intimacy needs of the elderly are too often neglected.She says seniors can’t suddenly go cold turkey on kisses, hugs, hand-holding, intimate conversation and sex merely because they’ve been put in a \-U GREIG REEKIE SUN MEDIA & * > Still interested.People in their 80s are still interested in intimacy and sex, according to nursing home officials home.Gibson says nursing home staff must not presume that the elderly are too old for sex.“Residents do not park their sexuality at the door of the institution,” she says.“I have worked with people who have been interested in sexuality well into their 80s." Parkwood, like many nursing-home facilities, has an apartment residents can use for privacy.Gibson says such a haven is vital for couples who have spent a lifetime together and suddenly face the trauma of one of them having to go into care.“In such cases we are talking about the separation of a marriage, of two people who may have slept together for 50 years,” she says.Without compassion, understanding or private time, the quality of their lives will be dashed, she continues.Similar kindness, she says, must be shown to widows and widowers.Gibson says staff must educate themselves on the subject of sexuality among seniors and talk to residents about their feelings and needs.Schlesinger agrees, noting that many nursing-home workers will not discuss sexuality with seniors.“My message is that sexuality is a lifetime activity, a lifetime personality trait.It does not disappear with the onset of grey hair,” he says.Paula David, 50, a senior social worker at Bay-crest Terrace, part of the Bay-crest Centre for Geriatric Care in Toronto, says the centre has a “very progressive and responsible attitude towards sexuality and the elderly.” The complex’s nursing home section has a privacy room.“People still have a need for intimacy whether it be sex, hugging or just a grandchild cuddling them,” says David.“The need has to be fulfilled one way or another." ' There is dating’ Baycrest also has an apartment building where couples and singles live as they please.“There is dating at the centre,” she adds, “the joke being that a good man at this age is one who can drive at night.” David understands that it’s hard to convince the young that the old are as interested in intimacy as they are.“Look at it this way,” she notes, “the moment the residents wake up, before they realize they have to go to the bathroom, before they remember they have arthritis, before they realize they can hardly walk, they imagine themselves as aged between 18 to 25.They all tell us that.” David has found her own comfort from working with seniors.“The best part of it is that I am not so worried about getting old myself,” she says.“Being with the residents has taught me that there is life to live as long as you are breathing.“Whatever the cutoff age young people seem to think old age is, well, they’re wrong.It really isn’t over unti1, it’s over,” David adds.A Give

National Hockey League’s newest team, took a calculated gamble Saturday when .they selected Patrik Stefan as the first overall selection in the NHL's entry draft.Stefan is a power forward from the Czech Republic who entered the draft rated first by the Central Scouting Service but with question marks concerning his health.But the 205-lb Stefan, who suffered his second concussion of the season back on March 31, insisted that he was fine and ready to play.“My health is fine,” Stefan said.“I was not aware Atlanta traded for the top pick.It’s been my dream to be No.1.” Stefan scored 11 goals and 24 assists in just 33 games for Long Beach in the International Hockey League.He is expected to provide some offense for a team that concentrated on defense in Friday’s expansion draft.Head

involved in three of the transactions, obtained the number-one pick from Tampa Bay and then quickly dispatched the rights to Atlanta.After all the smoke was cleared Vancouver had secured the second and third selections and promptly drafted Swedish twins Daniel and Henrik Sedin.The Sedin brothers, who said prior to the draft that they wanted to play on the same NHL team, are expected to stay in Sweden one more year before joining Vancouver.The New York Rangers chose high-scoring Pavel Brendl with the fourth selection.The Czech sniper played for Calgary of the Western Hockey League last season where he scored 73 goals and added 61 assists.The New York Islanders chose center Tim Connolly of Baldwinsville, New York, with the fifth overall selection.Connolly had 34 goals and 34 assists with Erie of the Ontario Hockey League.The first Canadian drafted was goalie Brain Finley of the OHL, selected sixth overall by Nashville.Non-Canadians took the top five spots and 17 of the 28 players selected in the first round were foreign-born.Atlanta is not only newest kid on the block, but was also the busiest this weekend.They wheeled and dealed before, during and after Friday’s expansion

26 players off NHL rosters Friday and the top goal scorers chosen were Terry Yake of St.Louis and Mike Stapleton of Phoenix with nine each.“When we got the list (of unprotected players), immediately defense showed up as the strength of this draft,” Atlanta general manager Don Waddell said.Waddell should be happy with his goaltending.His starter is Damian Rhodes, obtained last week in a trade with Ottawa.He drafted Detroit’s Norm Maracle Friday to play behind Rhodes.Atlanta also chose goalies Corey Schwab of Tampa Bay and Trevor Kidd of Carolina, although Kidd was quickly dealt to Florida.The Thrashers also sent Peter Ferraro, who they drafted from Boston, back to the Bruins for Randy Robitaille, who had been protected in the draft, in an exchange of forwards.They also made six other draft deals in which they gave future considerations for Detroit defenseman Ulf Samuelsson; Phoenix goalie Scott Langkow; minor-leaguers Sergei Vshed-kevich from New Jersey and Dean Sylvester from Buffalo; Calgary’s Andreas Karlsson, who played in his native Sweden last season; and entry picks in the fourth and ninth rounds from Vancouver.Montreal traded its first round pick to the Islanders for Trevor Linden.They selected Alexander Buturlin of the Russian Senior League in the second round (38th overall) and Peterborough defenceman Matt Carkner in the third round.Patrik Stefan

could have written that letter from “Confused in New York,” the woman who was sleeping with her ex-husband.She thought they had a chance to get back together, even though he had remarried.It has been 18 years since I divorced my ex-husband.He said after we parted that he needed me, and it was flattering and exciting to know that he still found me attractive.Yes, sex with him was easier, more comfortable and safer.I guess I needed his attention and the physical closeness.Here is my message for “Confused”: Quit kidding yourself.Get a life while you still can, before you end up 50 years old and alone, having put your life on hold to see if things would work out with your ex.Meanwhile, HE has a wife.He didn’t wait for you.Trust me.I have been there and done that, and I am — Still Alone But He Is Not Dear Still Alone: Nobody can drive a point home as well as someone who has “been there,” and you certainly have.Thank you for a letter that should be clipped out and taped to the makeup mirror of every divorced woman who reads my column.Dear Ann Landers: I’ve read a lot of letters in your column about women who have lost interest in sex.Here’s one with a suggestion that might help.Following the birth of my first child, I, too, lost interest in sex.For six years, my husband and I struggled over this.We tried everything — romantic bubble baths and weekends alone.We went to counseling, which strengthened our marriage but did nothing for my libido.Also, I had a complete physical exam.Finally, out of desperation, we decided that I should go off birth control pills.We didn’t want more kids, but we wondered if the hormones were affecting my sexual appetite.Within a few weeks, I was once again brimming with desire for my husband, and we are enjoying each other more than I ever thought possible.I realize this may not work for everyone, but tell your women readers if they lack sexual desire, they might try getting off the pill.— Content in Portland, Ore.Dear Portland: You told them, and I thank you.I hope, however, if they get off the pill, they will check with a gynecologist about the next best thing and not leave it to luck.Dear Ann Landers: I have enjoyed the “stupid-crook” items you have printed from time to time and just came across one I think is pretty funny.It’s pay-back time.I hope you will print it.I read your column in the Kansas City Star.- Kim L.Dear Kim: I think it’s a hoot.Here it is: A Kansas truck driver was arrested in Oklahoma City after complaining to police that he didn’t get his money’s worth from a prostitute.Authorities said the 24-year-old man called police at 8 p.m.to complain that the woman left before he was finished, and he wanted half of his $80 returned.“He told me that she was his date and she did not perform the services that he had asked for, so he wanted his money back,” the police officer wrote in the report.The man was arrested on a public lewdness complaint.The officer also arrested the prostitute on a complaint of engaging in a public act of lewdness.Back to you, Kim: I’m sure the police in Oklahoma City have better things to do than chase after prostitutes who are accused of not giving their clients their money’s worth.If Oklahoma took a page out of Nevada’s book, it wouldn’t have such problems.It could refer the matter to the Better Business Bureau.Ann Landers Trinity United Church Cookshire May 29th, 1999 dawned bright, hot and sunny.120 people from all over the United Eaton Valley Pastoral Charge, along with guests, the mayor of Cookshire, came to worship and celebrate Trinity Sunday in a newly renovated church.At 10:30 there were a few teary eyes as our bell ringer, Mac Learned, pulled the rope to sound out that our service was to begin.This bell had not been rung for many years.What a joyful sound it was! Rev.Joan Stinson, Mary Scholes, and Justin Lowry then entered the church and took their places.Don Parsons welcomed us all and told us about the renovations some of which are still ongoing.Then Justin and Mary sang “Lord, listen to your children praying.” With Hazel Rogers on keyboard and Sarah McBurney of flute, we sang our first hymn followed by a Prayer of Approach.Then Justin again led us with the Prayers of Confession.Justin then read the Old Testament reading “The Story of Creation,” followed by Mary leading in the reading of the Psalm.Six girls, Jessica, Julia, and Kelly Nugent, Erica and Samantha Taylor, Sarah McBurney sang “The Rose,” accompanied by Terry Howell on violin and David McBurney on guitar.Then it was time for Mary to read the Gospel, in which Jesus uses his disciples to go out and preach in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit (or Ghost) -The Trinity.Mary likened the Trinity to a pansy flower.If you look closely you can see a face in the first 3 petals.These front 3 petals were used to talk about the Trinity.Petal # 1 - for the God who made us.#2 - for the Christ who loved and died for us, so we would know God’s unending love.#3 - the spirit who comforts and strengthens us so we can live as God wants us to.The back petals must not be forgotten - they remind us of the ways to think of God.After the prayers of Intersession, the UEVPC choir sang “Higher Ground” with Kelly, Sarah, and Kristen singing one verse.Our director was Claris Phillips.As the offering was taken, the six girls sang “Fill up my cup, till it over flows.” Then Rev.Joan led us into the Communion Service.While the elements were being served, Sarah played on her flute “Here Oh my God.” All too soon the service was over.We stood to sing “Onward Christian Soldiers” very lustily.Mary, Justin and Joan pronounced the Benediction and the 3 fold amens were sung.Most of us went downstairs where Roxanne Lister and Aaron McCulley had prepared the bountiful pot luck lunch -many thanks.There are so many people to thank for this wonderful day - Hazel for playing the keyboard.Sarah for her flute, the UEVPC choir and Clare’s, the youth choir (directed by Mary and Justin) and David and Terry for accompanying them.To all the greeters at the door, our bell ringer, the ushers, the servers at communion and a big thanks to everyone who came.But our biggest thanks goes to Don Parsons and his crew for making sure we didn’t go to the church without the essentials and for making us so welcome.All in all is was a wonderful day.Submitted by Mary A.Scholes Lay worker for United Eaton Valley Pastoral Charge North 06 29 99 A J 5 2 V A 3 ?7 6 4 2 ?Q 6 4 3 West East A 8 3 A 9 7 6 ¥ J 9 8 7 6 5 ¥ Q 10 ?3 ?A K 9 5 A J 10 8 7 A K 9 5 2 South A A K Q 10 4 ¥ K 4 2 ?Q J 10 8 A A Vulnerable: East-West Dealer: South South West North East 1A Pass 2 A Pass 4 A Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: ?3 Tuesday, June 29,1999 The ruff is usually right By Phillip Alder Consider a trump suit of A-K-QJ-10 in your hand opposite 9-8-7 in the dummy.You have five trump tricks.(And if it were a no-trump contract, you couldn’t get more than those five winners.) However, if you can get dummy void of a side suit and ruff a loser in that suit, you generate an extra trump trick.The five winners remain in your hand, plus you have the ruff.Note, though, that if you are void of a suit in your hand and ruff there, you do not generate an extra trick.You are using one of your five winners.If you can take a ruff in the shorter trump hand, it is almost always the right line of play.In today’s deal, you are in four spades.You start with only three losers: one heart and two diamonds.However, West leads his singleton diamond, East wins with the king, cashes the ace, and gives West a ruff.Back comes the club jack.What next?You have suddenly been presented with an extra loser.Now the only concern is your third heart.However, as dummy has only two hearts, you can ruff it in the dummy.There are two rules to follow here: Draw as many rounds of trumps as you can afford, and ruff high if possible.So, after winning with the club ace, draw two rounds of trumps using honors from your hand.Then, play a heart to dummy’s ace (the honor from the shorter side first), return a heart to your king, and ruff your last heart with dummy’s spade jack.Finally, ruff a club in hand, draw East’s last trump, and claim.50th Wedding Anniversary The family of Chester and Rita Nugent invite you to an “At Home” in honour of their 50th Wedding Anniversary to be held on Sunday, July 11th, 1999 at the Eustis Parish Hall from 2 - 5 p.m.Best wishes only.Info-Clinic (514)832-0873 1 800 343-7264 Web site: www.hema-quebec.qc.ca 1 * I I I » « I I 1 t I t * I I ¦ ¦THU — Record Tuesday, June 29, 1999 page 17 CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Ciphei c'yptograms are created Irom quo'.at ans by ferrous peopie, pest and present Each letter in the cipher stands for another Toda/s due O eauals C X’L IMJZ B UNIT XA ZFK BWLT GFN KAEKE MV UKZZXAU OBMUFZ.X ENA’Z JKK LTJKRY BJ B F K W N , ’ - BAEWKG WBLXWKD, YNWLKW VNG PREVIOUS SOLUTION: "Twelve for twenty-three .it doesn't take a genius to see that s under fifty percent.” — (Sports announcer) Dick Vitale (c) 199SbyNEA, Inc 29 Kit & Carlyle Herman © Jim Unger/dist.by United Media, 1999 “Can you believe this?Our history teacher wants us to go back all the way to 1985.” Alley Oop SO MOW ABOUT IT?HOW WOULD YOU LIRE TO BE TH' QUEEN OF MOO?LONG ENOUGH FOR WITH YOU FEEDING GUZ FALSE INFORMATION, THAT SHOULDN'T TARE LONG AT AU!
