Shefford Township,” said Waterloo mayor Paul Masse at a special council meeting Monday night.“Granby wants to make off with the richest part of the Township so we have to move ahead quickly to not let that happen.” The council unanimously passed the bylaw during the short meeting, which was attended by only three citizens and an equal number of reporters.Following the meeting Masse gave an explanation of Waterloo’s position concerning Shefford Township.“Since June we have tried three times to merge with them,” he said.“They have refused because they want the sta- tus quo, so we were obliged to deposit the annexation regulation.” Masse said Shefford Township must face the fact that the status quo is no longer acceptable to municipal affairs minister Louise Harel.“The message from the minister is clear,” he said.“If you don’t merge we will make you merge.” see takeover, page 3 Fiery crash kills Beauce truck driver Staff Traffic was blocked on the Eastern Townships Autoroute near St-Angele-de-Monnoir for nearly eight hours Tuesday morning after a tractor trailer truck overturned and caught fire, killing the driver.Cst.Mathias Tellier of the Quebec Police Force said the truck was heading west with a load of melamine at about 1:10 a.m.when the driver apparently lost control.The truck rolled onto its side, blocking the autoroute.For reasons which are not yet known, the highway tractor then caught fire.The driver, 32-year-old Marco Gagnon, of St-Robert-de-Beauce, was trapped inside the cab, and perished in the fire.For the next several hours the autoroute was blocked while fire, ambulance, tow trucks and police crews cleaned up the site.During that period, which stretched into the morning commute to Montreal, motorists were detoured off the autoroute at St-Césaire, past the accident site and then allowed back on at Marieville.Tellier said an autopsy will be carried out on Gagnon, while accident scene specialists spent the day Tuesday trying to reconstruct what caused the deadly crash.Our clear choice was easy as ^ ABC! y Warranty Highest rated O ?D system Energy glass from ÂRC0R combines superior makes them “Clearly The Best” windows for

M.le Ministre, what about the rule of law ?Quebec minister of intergovernmental affairs, Joseph Facal, didn’t reveal much originality when he recently declared that his government is not bound by last year's Supreme Court ruling on secession.His statement didn’t exactly come as a surprise.lt reflected the PQ platform.Even prior to the historical decision Messrs Landry, Brassard and Bouchard had spouted off the same threat.With the backing for sovereignty sliding to a historical low it is just as likely that this rash proclamation is still being dished out to please the party diehards.The problem is that it also downgrades the image of justice and sets a bad example.It has the effect of undermining one of the proud accomplishments of our legal system, namely that everybody is subject to the ordinary law of the land regardless of public prominence or governmental status.If a government decides to disregard the conclusions of a high court ruling because it considers the issue to be political it shouldn’t be too surprised if ordinary citizens do likewise.Could it be that the protesting truckers caught the same virus?After all .defying a Superior Court injunction doesn’t sound half as bad as defying a Supreme Court ruling.A few months ago one of our sacred federal institutions was given a good tongue lashing for much the same reason.This time it was the RCMP even though their transgressions were cl'éarly in good faith.It turned out that the RCMP broke the law by selling a large quantity of hashish to the ringleaders of a drug trafficking organization as part of a “reverse sting” operation.Through an informant the police contacted groups of potential purchasers who wanted to buy large quanti-ties of cannabis resin.Instead of receiving the narcotics those involved were arrested and charged with conspiracy to traffic in cannabis resin.Standard “sting” operations, involve undercover agents posing as purchasers of narcotics to obtain evidence against traffickers which is perfectly legal.The problem is that traffickers caught by ordinary “sting” purchases are generally low-level street personnel whose conviction has little deterrence effect.The ringleaders up the chain of command of large-scale drug organizations are able to insulate themselves from sting operations.The street level pushers apprehended by the police are easily sacrificed and easily replaced.To get around this problem the police devised a “reverse sting” operation whereby they became vendors rather than purchasers However it also brought the police into conflict with the very law that they were attempting to enforce.At the time neither the Narcotic Control Act nor its regulations authorized the police to sell drugs.This has since changed.The trial judge found the drug ringleaders guilty as charged and, before sentencing, denied their application for a stay of proceedings on the grounds that the reverse sting constituted illegal police conduct .The Supreme Court, ruled that the police stepped outside the lawful ambit of their agency and ordered a new trial but only on the issue of whether a stay of proceedings should be granted for abuse of process by the police.The moral of the case is simply that no government, police force or ordinary citizen is above the law.All over the country our courts are having to determine whether government actions are legal.They include public agencies, public officials, police and prosecutors.Many of the rulings find that their actions went beyond the law and oblige those involved to implement the appropriate remedies.Rulings of our highest court are as good as any law passed by Parliament.In many ways they are stronger because they proclaim how to interpret them and, in doing so,bind the lower courts.It is one thing to distinguish the facts from any given case and then claim that a judgment doesn’t apply.This goes on every day in our courtrooms and is perfectly normal.On the eve of the conference on federalism, our minister of intergovernmental affairs, Joseph Facal, denied the rule of the law.At least his predecessors showed some flexibility, if not hypocrisy, when the ruling was issued last year.They tried to exploit the favorable aspects of the ruling to drum up support for their cause even though they denied the conclusions.The pubic sector negotiations will surely lead to some very tense confrontations.They will likely lead to strikes, special laws and injunctions.We don’t want to hear union leaders mouthing off that they too are free to ignore back-to -work judgments When it comes to last year’s historical ruling the PQshould shelve the political rhetoric.It is time for the party thinkers to get back to the drawing board and come up with a new line -one that shows a little more respect for the rule of the law.Henry Keyserlingk is a retired crown attorney.He can be emailed at henryk@virtuel.qc.ca Justice Henry Keyserlingk Briefs Road to be named after Patenaude

Faced with the current labor conflict involving teachers, work-to-rule pressure tactics that have canceled extra-curricular activities for students, and government cutbacks to education, parents are confused and seeking information, says mother Sara Hawe-Smith.Hawe-Smith is hoping some of those questions can be answered at an information forum she is organizing this Friday at Alexander Galt.“Hopefully this will shed some light on the issues because there are about 45 stories going around out there,” she commented.Smith has lined up a number of speakers for the meeting including local teacher’s union president Yvette Voisard and teachers Jeff Pauw of Alexander-Galt and Mac Kingsley of Lennoxville Elementary.Galt student council president Jessica Cady will also be on the panel that will be chaired by Champlain Regional College director Gerry Cutting.The school board was approached, but could not confirm a representative for Friday’s meeting.Hawe-Smith, a single mother of four school children, said she is hoping for a quiet and helpful exchange of ideas and information.Hawe-Smith, who sits on a parent’s committee, said the issues are not well understood.She said parents are not providing much feedback because there is so much confusion over the issues.While parents have been somewhat apathetic to the school crisis, students have been listening and getting involved, she said.“Students are doing what parents should be doing,” she said, adding that students have not been brainwashed by teachers and principals, but are doing their best to get informed.“Obviously we are in a crisis situation.Our schools are almost in a state of collapse,” Hawe-Smith commented.“The question is how do we reach the people and show the government we are all together on this one.” Hawe-Smith said that with the mas- sive cuts to education over the last few years, things have been deteriorating rapidly.“The teachers have given us a wake-up call - and some consider it a rude awakening - but we have to act now to control our kid’s future,” she said.“It’s falling apart and our voices have to be heard to fix it.” The rally will be held Friday which is a pedagogical day.Hawe-Smith said she is hoping some students will choose to attend on their day off.The talk will begin at 11:30 and, with a question period, is expected to last till around 1:30.After that, participants will be able to linger over coffee and doughnuts for a more informal exchange.Ex-prison guard facing sex abuse charges Staff Lennoxville After spending the weekend in jail, a 49-year-old Cowansville man appeared at the Granby Courthouse Monday morning to face a dozen counts of incest and sexual abuse of his daughter and adopted son over a period of 11 years.The man was arrested in Cowansville on Friday after his daughter, who had moved to Ontario, pressed sexual abuse charges with the York Regional Police in Ontario, said Cowansville Detective Jacques Landry.The daughter told police investigators that her father had sexual relations with her between the ages of 13 and 23 when she told her mother about the abuse and left home.The man, who was arrested on the eve of his son’s wedding, is also charged with the sexual abuse of his adopted son during the same period.He is accused of sodomy and having sexual relations with both children at the same time.The abuse began in the early eighties when the two children were adolescents and ended a few years ago when they were in their twenties.The daughter, who moved away and got therapy, told police she had decided not to press charges but changed her mind when she learned her divorced father had taken up with a woman with adolescent children.The man, whose name cannot be released to protect the identify of the victims, is an ex-prison guard at the Cowansville penitentiary.He spent the weekend in protective custody because of prisoners’ aversion to sexual abusers, and prison guards.After being held in jail for the weekend, the accused appeared before Quebec Court Judge Danielle Côté where defence lawyer Tom Walsh entered a plea of not guilty.He was released on bail with the condition that he not have any contact with his children or with any minors - even in the presence of other adults.That forced him to find a new address while he is awaiting trial.The accused will be back in court on Dec.17 to set a date for a preliminary inquiry.Magogs money men Fund-raisers at Magog’s La Providence Hospital Foundation have upped the anty and are hoping to raise $2 million to cover the cost of

Southam Newspapers Ottawa Tax-cut talk by Prime Minister Jean Chretien has fuelled inflation fears, undermined the dollar and threatens to push Canadian interest rates higher, a Wall Street economist warns.“The (Canadian) economy is already so hot that even expectations of tax cuts may overheat demand,” Carl Weinberg, economist at New York-based High Frequency Economics said in a report Monday.The report was issued as Reform party demands for tax relief mounted and the dollar was sinking amid market fears that U.S.interest rates will be heading higher.The dollar, which has been losing ground this month, fell a further third of a cent to less than 67 cents US on Monday.It closed at 66.95 cents US, down from 67.26 cents Friday.Money markets fear the Canadian economy, which has picked up a head of steam after lagging the U.S.economy most of this decade, is now more inflation prone than the U.S., said Weinberg, one of the few U.S.analysts that Finance Minister Paul Martin has met with privately after his annual budgets.“Thus, inflation expectations, and expectations of rate hikes, are elevated even more than in the United States,” Weinberg said.That the economy is getting hotter was underscored by Martin in the Commons.Citing a new Royal Bank forecast, the latest in a string of upbeat predictions for the economy, he said “this country is cooking on all cylinders.” Many forecasters are now predicting growth of more than three per cent this year and next, double the pace of expansion they were anticipating at the start of the year.Inflation fears soared late last week in the wake of a jump in the annual consumer price index to a four-year high of 2.6 per cent.Similar fears also reverberated through the U.S.and then around the globe, following the biggest jump in U.S.wholesale prices in nine years.But Weinberg said that in Canada it was Chretien’s commitment in a post throne speech address last week to a multi-year package of tax relief that initially spooked markets.“A new reason to look for tighter monetary policy (higher interest rates) is the swing in fiscal policy,” Weinberg said.Tax cuts, which leave more spending money in the pockets of taxpayers, generally add to inflation.Mike McCracken, the head of Infor-metrica Ltd., an Ottawa-based economic think-tank, agreed that markets would react badly if the government was stimulating spending by cutting taxes as the Bank of Canada was doing the opposite by raising interest rates.But he said that inflation fears here are premature and there’s no justification for higher interest rates.Last month’s jump in the annual inflation rate, which measures the change in consumer prices from a year earlier, was more a reflection of the weakness in prices at this time last year when the fear was of deflation not inflation, he noted.“If you look at the components of the consumer price index, you don’t see signs of inflation, expect in a few areas like energy prices,” he noted.Even if inflation was on the rise, McCracken noted that there are tax cuts, such as boosting registered retirement savings plan limits, that are actually anti-inflationary.Though not advocating tax cuts, McCracken said that increasing the RRSP limit, which the government is under pressure to do, would encourage people to save rather than spend.Canadian Auto Workers continue battle with GM Fate ofSte.Therese plant uncertain By Louise Surette Southam Newspapers Toronto The Canadian Auto Workers have won a major battle in their contract negotiations with General Motors but say there is still a way to go to achieve a settlement.More than 21,000 GM workers were threatening to strike at midnight unless a tentative agreement was reached.On Monday, GM removed from the table its proposal to contract out work currently being done by CAW members to outside workers.The plan could have cost 700 CAW members their jobs and outsourcing was a major point of contention for the union.“GM has told us that they will disconnect all outsourcing from all locations and this has allowed us to move on to other issues,” said Buzz Hargrove, president of the CAW, at a downtown Toronto hotel where round-the-clock negotiations are taking place.“We are a hell of a lot closer to a settlement than we were before when GM said they would sell our jobs, but we still have a lot of work to do before we can announce a settlement.” With the outsourcing issue out of the way, the biggest issue remaining is the CAW’s desire to keep the GM plant in Ste.Therese, Que.open.The aging plant just north of Montreal faces closure in September 2002 when it ends production of the Camaro and Firebird sports cars.This could result in the loss of more than 2,000 jobs.GM has said that it has no plans to begin producing another vehicle at the Ste.Therese operation, which employs 1,200 workers and is the only major car assembly plant in Quebec.“We are still using the power of our collective bargaining here to try and get a new product commitment from General Motors for this plant,” said Hargrove.“We’ve got the maximum pressure on and it is fair to say this is the top issue right now.” GM is the last of the Big Three Canadian automakers which has yet to negotiate a contract with the union.Hargrove successfully reached deals with Ford and Daim-lerChrysler over the last five weeks.Hargrove refused to say whether the Ste.Therese issue would be grounds for a strike but said the union would keep pressing the issue.GM agreed on Friday to offer workers a three-per-cent wage increase, cost of living allowances, signing bonuses and new child care and tuition subsidies previously won by the CAW in contracts with Ford and DaimlerChrysler.GM also agreed Saturday to invest more than $1 billion in three key plants in Oshawa and St.Catharines as well as provide $100-million in early retirement incentives.Defence claims poor police procedures in Miller murder case Larry Fisher standing trial for crime for which Milgaard was exonerated By Kerry Powell Southam Newspapers Sloppy police work may have contaminated the clothing removed from murder victim Gail Miller, affecting the results of future analysis, a defence lawyer suggested Monday at the trail of Larry Fisher.Brian Beresh suggested the Saskatoon police officer who seized Miller’s clothing at her autopsy dumped it in a pile on the floor instead of following proper protocol.Miller, a 20-year-old nursing assistant, was found raped and stabbed to death in a snowy back alley in Saskatoon on Jan.31, 1969.David Milgaard, then 17, was convicted of the crime and spent 23 years in prison before he was released in 1992.He was exonerated five years later when DNA tests proved the semen stains on Miller’s clothing could not have come from him.The Crown has said that its expert will testify that DNA extracted from those stains matches that taken from Fisher’s blood.Beresh’s line of questioning about how exhibits were handled - a constant theme in his opening statement and with every police witness so far - seems to be an attempt to undermine that conclusion.Now 50, Fisher was 19 at the time of Miller’s death.He has pleaded not guilty to charges of first-degree murder and rape.Cat killer stalks Toronto Southam Newspapers Pet owners in a section of Canada’s largest city were warned Monday to keep their pets indoors after another mutilated cat was found this weekend.The Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) is offering a $60,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person responsible for what is believed to be a string of related cat killings in the north end of the city.In the latest incident, a decapitated cat was found Saturday in the same area where other mutilated felines were found earlier this sum- mer.“We’re very concerned because violence against animals goes hand in hand with violence against people,” said Eileen Cahill.“If somebody is deliberately killing these animals, we don’t know what else that person may be capable of.” She said a human is clearly responsible for the latest casualty because a sharp instrument was involved.“The cat’s head was missing,” said Cahill.“And the other cats found in the summer (in the same area) were also mutilated so it looks like there’s definitely a pattern.” Wednesday, October 20, 1999 page 9

Minister Lloyd Axworthy has been selected as the winner of the inaugural Endicott Peabody humanitarian award for his lead role in helping to rid the world of anti-personnel landmines.Axworthy will receive the award Friday from the United Nations Association of Greater Boston and will then address Tufts University’s prestigious Fletcher School of International Diplomacy.Peabody, who died of leukemia in 1997, was governor of Massachusetts from 1963 to 1965 and a vice-president of the Boston UN Association.He spent his retirement working for a variety of peace groups, focusing on landmines in the last years of his life.In one of his last interviews, he described landmines as “the most inhumane weapon” and criticized the United States for its refusal to join the international treaty declared in Ottawa in 1997.“It’s a fitting award because both Mr.Axworthy and Endicott Peabody worked toward the same goal of landmine eradication,” says Andrew Powell, spokesman for the UN Association.“Because of Mr.Peabody’s commitment to the landmine cause, it was appropriate that landmines be the focus of the first award.When the organization discussed who would be a fitting recipient, Mr.Axworthy’s name was the first one to come up.” Axworthy’s work on landmines was also honoured last October when he was awarded the Council of Europe’s North-South peace prize by Portuguese President Jorge Sampaio in Lisbon.The treaty banning the production, stockpiling, sale and deployment of antipersonnel landmines became law on March 1,1999.The treaty has been signed by 135 countries and ratified by 86, although the world’s largest producers and users - China, Russia and the United States - have so far refused to participate.The treaty commits ratifying nations to destroy their stockpiles of anti-personnel landmines by March 1, 2003.IS purchase financing ' A-* ."i Sï!«8« !«i '268- '21,251 36-monih lease Freight end preparation included purchase price A quality,

last battle ‘When the sun goes down, we will remember them’ - veterans Remembering the Italian Campaign Record editor Sharon McCully accompanied 50 Canadian World War II veterans to Italy to honour Canada's war dead at cemeteries throughout the country to mark the 55th anniversary of the Italian Campaign.Over the next week, The Record pays tribute to them.% ® By Sharon McCully Italy To every season there is a reason, and on this 55th anniversary pilgrimage to Italy, an august group of veterans set aside their own pain and suffering to muster the strength for one final act of courage.Veterans of the Italian campaign aged 78 to 90 dragged their broken bodies and heavy hearts to the grave sites of young men whose lives were prematurely snuffed out to launch one final offensive.Their target is a new generation of Canadians.Their objective is to ensure the ultimate price paid by thousands of young men buried in foreign soil will be remembered after they are no longer here to serve as a reminder.Fighting their own demons, veterans endured a rigorous two weeks in Italy laying wreaths and poppies at the grave sites of 5,900 young men whose lives were cut short at the threshold of adulthood.Veteran Duncan Kelman, of the Lome Scots Peel, Dufferin & Halton SHARON MCCULLY Lt.Commander Percy Buzza.called, “but they put another guy in to replace me and the two of them were killed when an 88 hit them.” A row below, Ernest Hartwick, 79, of the British Columbia Dragoons, snapped a photo of the tombstone of Ted Sanborne which he promised to bring back to B.C.for Sanborne’s sister.“He was a smiley, upbeat kid and everyone loved him,” Hartwick said.“He was only 20.“ The following day and at a different cemetery, Hartwick laid poppies on the graves of former crew members who were trapped inside their tank and died when it was hit.Hartwick was hospitalized for six months after the attack, recovering from burns.Row after row, teary-eyed veterans bared their souls to tell the tragic tales of lives never lived., , .“I just wish that today’s Regiment, was just 20 when he and his buddy trad- dom.They had no idea what unspeakable horrors young people knew

friend’s tombstone in Sicily.“He died three feet away from me.We were born and raised next door to each other and he died right next to me.I was pretty shook up for a week after that.” “They say old soldiers never cry,” Kelman added.“But it couldn’t have been worse if I had lost a brother.I came on this pilgrimage to say goodbye to him because I know I’ll never have another chance.” Kelman’s grief was shared by the 50 others on the pilgrimage, each with their own painful stories to tell.“It’s not easy to talk about, but we have to make sure the stories of these men don’t die with us,” said Gordie Bannerman.“Each time one of us dies, a thousand stories go with us.” “I never thought I’d see Brooker’s name on a tombstone,” said Robbie Hancock, 77, as he knelt on one knee at the grave of a young man who had been days away from returning to Nova Scotia to care for a recently widowed parent.“I was supposed to be in the trenches with him that day,” Hancock re- CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

With great determination, Gordon Bannerman climbed 100 steps to the pinnacle of a steep cemetery to seek out the grave of a young gunner who had died on his birthday, Sept.13.“Alec Ross was a red-haired, freckle-faced kid who loved the bagpipes,” said Bannerman.“He had always said, ‘If I ever get hit, I hope I don’t cry out.’ A chap named Kennedy who was next to him when he was shot said he took a hit to the head and died in silence.” In that same battle, Bannerman’s commanding officer was killed and 48 hours later, his replacement died from wounds sustained in bitter fighting.Wilfred Lalonde, of the 4th Princess Louise Dragoon Guards, fought to maintain his composure as he stood at the base of Monte Cassino and described the fierce fighting that claimed the lives of dozens of young men who died crying for their mothers.“At times I saw bodies strewn all over the field.I was standing right over there when one guy went berserk and gave us up — an 18-year-old who had just joined us that day was killed.” For veterans, these weren’t just names on tombstones.They were friends they had christened with nicknames and shared their postwar dreams with.Bunkmates who had shown off crumpled pictures of their girlfriends and young kids.Buddies who died before they were old enough to vote.Some of the 5,900 tombstones bore only the in-s c r i p t i o n : “Known only to God.” “1 hope God knew them when they arrived — they certainly deserved that,” said George Cassaday, who fought with the 48th Highlanders of Canada.For many of the veterans, it was the first time they had talked sharon mccully openly about their wartime experiences.One veteran, a radio operator during fighting in Italy, said he had managed to block out images of the death and destruction for many years and only recently began having flashbacks and hallucinations.“I’d be sitting in the living room watching television with my wife when suddenly, I’d begin screaming radio commands.One night I fell out of bed trying to wrestle a gun from a German,” he said.Medication and regular visits to a psychiatrist are helping the veteran, now 78, to deal with his 55-year-old war scars, but he says nothing will ever erase the memories.In his book, The Regiment, Farley Mowatt writes: “The chasm in experience which separated the soldier from his people in a distant land was unbridgeable.He could only be understood by and only understand the men who stood beside him.” “If you’ve lived under shell fire, you set yourself apart from those who haven’t,” said Bannerman.“We lived together 24 hours a day, and shared the same fear.” Last week’s pilgrimage served as a catharsis for many.“It’s not something you want to do, it’s something you have to do,” said Bannerman.“We owe it to the guys buried here to keep their memories alive.“ Lt.Bob Wigmore and the youth delegation.SHARON MCCULLY Sgt.Ernest (Dick) Hartwick remembers. page 12 Wednesday, October 20, 1999 \NEW Montana 2000.Adventure has a new

roughly equivalent to parole in the adult system - is barely adequate, it concludes.The private-sector operators who provide the after-care service seemed to ignore many of the principles of effective corrections, says the report by outside experts Don Andrews and Catherine Carvell.“The picture provided by the case files was one of passive intervention rather than the active structured intervention required,” they concluded.“It was not obvious that .substance abuse, criminal thinking, antisocial associates and family problems are being addressed in a structured and systematic manner.” When it set up Project Turnaround two years ago, the Conservative government touted the jail as a revolutionary new approach to young offenders that would cut back on repeat offences.The Corrections Ministry says it doesn’t have comparable figures on the proportion of offenders from other youth jails who break the law again after being released.Project Turnaround, a rural compound located at the edge of cottage country north of Barrie, was designed to combine military-style discipline with a full-range of rehabilitation programs.Offenders wear uniforms, learn to march and must salute the guards, all of whom have army ranks.By October, 1998, 51 offenders had been released into after-care in the year since it began.Of those, 20, or 39 per cent, had been charged with new offences, the report said.The report gives high marks to the programs set up at the jail itself, and the staff hired to work there.In fact, the authors say Project Turnaround earned one of the best ratings ever assigned to such a project.But the study doesn’t assess how well the programs are actually being implemented.After-care is provided to offenders who were ordered by the courts -or a review committee - to have a period of probation or open custody after they’re released.A5A ¦ THE» RECORD Wednesday, October 20, 1999 page 13 All Mindy McCready wants is everything BNA RECORDS Mindy McCready shows she’s more than a bunch of bouncy tunes and a pretty face on her new album I’m Not So Tough.Pam Tillis takes a break from country to work on Broadway In response to Nancy Boisclair who was wondering why we don’t hear so much about Pam Tillis lately, here’s what her publicist had to say.A year after releasing her Every Time album, the country singer went to New York to perform on Broadway in the musical Smokey Joe’s Cafe: The song of Leiber and Stoller.Being part of a musical was something she had done before and although it’s so different from country music she enjoyed the experience.It doesn’t mean she didn’t get a case of butterflies performing for tough Big Apple audiences which are totally different from country music fans.Tillis also became a semi-regular in Branson, Mo., performing with her father, country legend Mel Tillis.She performed in some 80 shows over a 10-week period, and more recently went on a tour of Australia where she discovered she had many fans.Between these ventures, she asked her ex-husband, songwriter Bob DiPiero (to whom she’d been married for seven years until their divorce in 1998), to produce her new single, “After a Kiss.” The song can be found on the soundtrack of a new movie called Happy, Texas.For now, Tillis has stopped travelling to begin planning her next album, which she will again co-produce.This time the country singer is planning to try something new.We’ll have to wait for the album re lease to find out what will be different.As for her pastime, Tillis has been studying the stock market but country music will remain number one in her heart.Hopefully this will satisfy your genuine fan’s curiosity and hopefully, you’ve heard the new single on the radio.Here’s my review for this week: MINDY MCCREADY: I’m Not So Tough (BNA Records) There’s a lot more to Mindy McCready than a bunch of bouncy tunes and a pretty face.This time round she’s very much in charge of her career.She has hired new managers, picked the producers for the new album, and is in total control.This new album is vital for McCready who’s at a crossroads in her career.The blonde singer, who hit the charts in 1996 with the top-10 hit “Ten Thousand Angels,” followed by the number 1 “Guys Do It All The Time,” has lived the kind of life you see in TV soaps.Not everyone has dated actor Dean Cain (Superman) and a star of the NHL Nashville Predators hockey team.She’s a strong and opinionated young lady so her first single is aptly titled “All I Want Is Everything”.This is a ballad rich with attitude and it is with high spirit that McCready sings the clear lyrics: “All I want is all your lov-ing/Feel the earth move when we kiss/I don’t need me a big diamond/Baby, I’ll take it if you insist”.It’s a feel good song.This is her third album and as an artist she has evolved enough to show her vulnerable side in the passionate and tender confession “I’m Not so Tough,” filled with heartfelt emotions.She has reached a new level when it comes to pass her emotions in a song such as on “Dream On,” she’s much more convincing.Her rendition is remarkable as she includes more feelings than she ever has before.“Lucky Me,” on the other hand is a traditional McCready message - kind of tongue-in-cheek, mocking a guy for being a guy while “Over and Over,” is a sensuous love song.She showcases her vocal ability, her power to stretch for the hard notes - and hitting them on “Tumble and Roll.” Aimee Mayo of Lonestar’s “Amazed" fame, co-wrote three of the eleven cuts, including “Thunder and Roses” with it’s sensuous plea, “All I need is someone who brings thunder and roses”.This new collection might just be the album of her career and honestly the change in maturity, self-confidence and vocal creativity is awesome.This album is stunning and radio friendly enough to take this young lady a lot further on the road of stardom.Country Radio for you.Don’t forget to tune in to CFLX-FM 95.5 for two hours of country music and the latest country music news every Thursday night between 8 and 10 p.m.Broadcasted from CFLX’s studio on Dufferin Street in Sherbrooke, Country Club is the show where every song has been carefully selected for your pleasure.You can make your special request by faxing them at (819) 569-8167.Have a great week and keep your coun-tiy state of mind!

spousal benefits Supreme Court ruling on same-sex partners paves the way By Janice Tibbets South am Newspapers Ottawa Justice Minister Anne McLellan says the federal government, which is planning to extend legal rights to same-sex couples, is also prepared to revive a dormant idea of including other couples in relationships of economic dependency.The move, which would build on a Supreme Court ruling to extend benefits to gays and lesbians, is the cornerstone of a conference this week at which academics, politicians and government officials will debate the merits of including couples such as old army buddies or widowed siblings in equality laws.“I think the question of relationships of dependency, how we recog-nize and acknowledge those relationships in Canadian society is an important issue and it is one that we as a government will look at and continue to look at,” said McLellan.The Liberal government, in light of several court rulings, is already planning to amend almost 60 federal statutes to include gays and lesbians, including pension and income tax laws.Legal scholars say the next frontier in the country’s courts will be including other cohabitants as well, so governments should start planning now instead of being blindsided in another five years or so.The Law Commission of Canada, a federal agency that advises Ottawa on law reform, is currently examining the prospect of extending benefits to all relationships and plans to issue a report next year.The commission is co-sponsoring the conference this week with Queen’s University in Kingston, Ont., where about 100 participants will examine the prospect.One idea would be to create registered domestic partnerships, in which couples could be legally recognized simply by signing up.Several European countries have already adopted such partnerships and the idea has also emerged in some provinces, including British Columbia and Alberta.But laws currently vary, with some being exclusive to gays and lesbians and others including other relationships as well.Conference participants will examine both prospects.The idea of registered partnerships comes at a time that provinces are already scrambling to amend their family laws to include gays and lesbians, following a May 20 Supreme Court ruling involving two Toronto lesbians known as M and H, which effectively changed the definition of spouse to include a same-sex partner.The court gave Ontario six months to change its impugned Family Law Act.Governments across Canada have had little time to focus on future court decisions because they are still struggling with the Supreme Court ruling.But a poll commissioned by the federal Justice Department last year signals the government is looking beyond the issue of how to treat gay and lesbian partners.The survey, conducted by the Angus Reid firm to measure public opinion on same-sex benefits, also suggested that 71 per cent of Canadians either strongly or somewhat agreed that benefits should not depend on spousal relationships, but on any relationship of economic dependency in which people live together.The prospect was floated briefly by former justice minister Allan Rock in 1994, a pitch that was perceived as providing potential relief from the moral debate of extending benefits only to same-sex couples.“I think some organizations would see registered partnerships as a less controversial way to eliminate discrimination against same-sex couples than marriage,” said Martha Bailey, a Queen’s University law professor and conference organizer.Martha McCarthy, a Toronto lawyer who will speak at the conference, said it is wrong that lawmakers would consider lumping gay and lesbians couples in with other relationships of economic dependency.“I find it offensive that we say now that the gays and lesbians are in, it’s a free-for-all,” said McCarthy, who represented the winning party in the M and H ruling.“Regardless of our sexual orientation, to compare my intimate relationship with my spouse to the relationship that I have with my brother or my university roommate, both of whom I love dearly, is totally offensive the primary crucial nature of my spousal relationship.” i «THE» ¦ RECORD Wednesday, October 20, 1999 page 15 Compton Historical Society meets The Compton Historical Society held a meeting on Saturday, October 2, 1999 at the home of Janet

else declarer sets up South’s heart king for a club discard.West led the heart two: eight, ace, four.Back came the heart 10: jack, queen, club two.West cleared the hearts.Then, when East won trick four with the spade ace, she cashed three heart tricks for two down, plus 500.North, Mr.Playbetter, pointed out that West did well not to lead the heart queen.Top of partner’s suit was inexplicably de rigueur many years ago.However, West’s heart-two lead and East’s heart-10 return strongly suggested that West held the heart queen.And if so, the declarer, Lady Teeny Tearful, could have made the contract by winning trick two, which would have blocked the suit.She drives out the spade ace and cruises home.So maybe three no-trump wasn’t such a bad bid after all! _ RECORD At wits’ end over wife’s job Ann Landers Dear Aim Landers: I am at my wits’ end over a situation that involves my wife, my daughter and my daughter’s boyfriend.About 18 months ago, the boyfriend decided to start his own business.My wife, “Lynn,” volunteered to help him set up the bookkeeping system and other aspects of the start-up.Now, Lynn is working over 40 hours a week — for free.She is more committed to the business than he is.We have discussed this issue at length, and Lynn says she enjoys the challenge and that I should “stay out of her business.” She also says the company would fail without her, and I believe it.Meanwhile, I am working full time at a stressful, difficult job, and have to take up the slack at home, which means doing all the dishes, cooking, cleaning, laundry, and so on.I don’t suspect any monkey business between my wife and our daughter’s boyfriend, but this guy is very charismatic.I can’t figure out if this is some weird, subconscious attempt on Lynn’s part to relive her youth vicariously through her daughter, or if she is trying to compete with her.I have toyed with the idea of giving her a reasonable period of time to extricate herself or I will leave.After 30 years of marriage and two wonderful, grown children, this seems like a drastic move, but I’ve had it.I would appreciate some advice from you, Ann.— Need Direction in California Dear Calif.: Let me get this straight — your daughter’s boyfriend is starting a new business, and your wife is helping him to the tune of 40 hours a week?Meanwhile, you are cooking, doing dishes, laundry, and cleaning, in addition to working at your stressful job?You say you’ve had it and want to know if I have any advice?Well, yes, I do.Tell your wife you are resigning as chief cook and dishwasher, and if she wishes to continue to knock herself out for this young man, it’s OK with you, but not at the expense of her share of the home responsibilities.If she doesn’t agree to cool it with the self-inflicted second job, insist on joint counseling, and let the counselor establish the appropriate guidelines.Dear Ann Landers: My mother has been a widow for several years and is now in her late 70s.She lives alone and has always been fiercely independent.She appears to be in very good health.In fact, there are days when I think she may outlive me.In recent conversations, Mom has made it plain that under no circumstances will she ever go into a retirement home.She says, “When the time comes that I cannot manage on my own, I will live with you.” Ann, the thought of us living together is very upsetting.In fact, it’s my worst nightmare.I love my mother dearly, but I must take time away from her every three days, or else, we end up fighting.I try to visit or communicate with Mom on a daily basis, because I am her only friend.Being a realist, I am certain that eventually I am going to have to place my mother in some sort of facility.She refuses to discuss the matter.Whenever I bring up the subject, she acts as if I’m trying to lock her in a dungeon.Please ask your readers who are living in retirement centers to write about their experiences.You have taught me that there can be no better teacher than someone who has been there.Perhaps your readers can help my mother see things differently.Thanks, Ann.— T.M.in Orlando, Fla.Dear T.M.: Here’s your letter, and I’ll let you know of my readers’ responses.How about it, folks?Write on!

have had frost warnings; but the leaves are still hanging in there.Harvest suppers are under way.Here in the Wales Home, we had a 60th Wedding Anniversary, fund raisers for Terry Fox and the Alzheimer’s Society, were visited by two in-home clothing shops, had a picnic and a fire drill as well as all the regular activities Brendalee organizes each week.The first of the Harvest Suppers was held on September 1st, in Unverton, followed by others in Danville, South Durham and Chalmer’s Church in Richmond, on the 29th.Thirty to forty residents, including some patients from the Alzheimer’s floor, attended all of them.We ate ham, baked beans, turkey, chicken pie, salads rolls and a great variety of pies; and came home from each supper declaring it was the finest meal we had had in a long while.Residents especially appreciated the special service and help they received from their hosts and the Wales Home staff members who came along as caregivers.The special event for the month of September was easily the 60th Wedding Anniversary of Dour & Willa Gleason on the 4th.The Main Living room was bright with flowers and balloons.Well over a hundred and fifty people, (family, friends and fellow residents) gathered to extend congratulations to the popular couple.Family and friends came from Florida, Toronto, Ottawa, Brockville, Rawdon, Montreal and, of course, the local area.The youngest guests were seven of their great-grandchildren.Doug and Willa were presented with greeting from the Prime Minister and Yvon Vallier, and a beautiful plaque designed by Darryl and Cynthia, with the names of all their descendants inscribed in gold on a shiny black surface.Their daughter, Nancy, read a tribute to her parents and a delicious lunch and beautiful cake catered by Sharon Bean completed the afternoon.Doug and Willa were delighted to see so many of their old friends, some of whom they hadn’t seen for a long time; and were most grateful for the efforts of their family, Sharon and the Home in making the afternoon such a memorable occasion.Transportation was provided for residents who wished to attend Richmond Fair.A good many, Alzheimer patients included, took advantage of the opportunity.On the 15th, staff and nurses and their friends held a bake sale on behalf of the Terry Fox Foundation.The bake sale was followed on the 20th by a walk-a-thon.Seventy-nine residents, from all floors gathered in the parking lot; some were in wheel chairs, some with walkers, some with canes and a few mechanized chairs.In a group, they paraded around the building.A tidy sum was collected and forwarded to Terry Fox Foundation.Made Comfort Clothing and Chic-Chez-Nous set up their mobile shops in the living room and residents spent a couple of days examining and purchasing the new fall styles.On the 23rd, Brendalee and Carolyn Lodge organized a bake sale and daylong coffee break for the benefit of the Alzheimer’s Society Research in the living room.The girls were kept very busy, as the residents returned more than once to enjoy their hospitality.The proceeds from the event were forwarded to the A.D.Society Research.On the 28th, Mr.& Mrs.Millen came from Asbestos to play the piano and sing for us.We enjoyed them immensely and were happy to hear that they will be back from time to time.Only Shaw and Manning was involved in the Fire Drill.Rooms were evacuated in 7 1/2 minutes.This is an adventure the infirmaries are still looking forward to.During the month, we welcomed Donald Watson and Alice Cleary and Hazel Fleck for rehabilitation after knee surgery.Willie Bethke has returned home to be with his family.Fourteen birthdays were celebrated during the month.Sincere sympathy is extended to the families of Gladys Cooke and Annette Lepoidevin.It seems sad that all those glowing fall colors will soon be gone, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles.Submitted by Alleda Nixon TO PLACE YOUR PREPAID CLASSIFIED AD: TELEPHONE: (819)569-9525 (450) 242-1188 BY MAIL:
