Jobs on top?Premiers to say C-word but not much By Linda Drouin OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Minister Jean Chrétien has placed a discussion of the Constitution near the top of the agenda for a meeting of first ministers next week.In a letter to the premiers and territorial leaders, Chrétien says the discussion “would permit us to consider how we might move forward in the search for an amending formula that will find wide approval from Canadians.” But Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Stéphane Dion indicated Monday the discussion may simply be a formality.“It will be only one subject and it will not be the most important subject,” Dion said outside the House of Commons.The more important topics will be renewing the federation, clarifying the roles of different levels of government and jobs.Dion said the Constitution is on the agenda to sort out whether the Meech Lake and Charlottetown accords discharged the government’s constitutional obligation to discuss the amending formula before next April.It’s very unlikely the first ministers could agree on the substance of an amending formula next week but they might agree “on the necessity to have a process,” Dion said.Chrétien had promised to steer clear of constitutional talks at the meeting on June 20-21 and concentrate on the economy and the transfer of some powers from Ottawa to the provinces.Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard had threatened not to attend if the agenda included talks on the Constitution.See PREMIERS Page 2 Two generations Sometimes it runs in the family.At Saturday’s spring convocation a number of new Bishop’s

obstacle on Monday in its attempt to raise the PCB-contaminated Irving Whale oil barge from the bottom of the Gulf of St.Lawrence.Federal Court Judge Barbara Reed rejected a bid by Quebec environmentalists to stop the salvage attempt.Reed’s written judgment will be avai- lable in a few days.The judgment came as good news to federal officials, who had planned to refloat the barge this summer.The Irving Whale sank in 1970 near the Iles de la Madeleine.“We are continuing our preparations for the recovery operation,” said Hugh Hall of Environment Canada.See CLEAN-UP Page 2 Inspectors to cost $5 million Quebec toughens sign-language law By Jack Branswell QUEBEC (CP) — Quebec gave its language laws more teeth on Monday with a series of measures — including the return of the so-called language police — to toughen the province’s French language charter.“It’s a move to put French at the heart of the government’s priorities,” said Louise Beaudoin, the minister responsible for the charter.“We all have to protect the French language.” The main move reestablished the province’s language watchdogs, La Commission de protection de la langue française.The commission had been disbanded by the previous Liberal government.It was particularly hated by Quebec’s anglophone community, who dubbed it the language police for its enforcement of regulations governing the language of commercial signs.The amendments to the law drew sharp criticism from Michael Hamelin, president of the Alliance Quebec English-rights lobby group.“I think it’s absolutely incredible,” he said in Montreal.“At a time when we’re cutting back on health care and education we’re going to find $5 million to send around bureaucrats with tape measures to measure signs.” Hamelin said the government was taking a backward step when compromise was within reach and sending a negative message to Quebec anglophones.“There is language peace, there is no crisis,” said Hamelin, who promised his group would lobby vigorously against the bill and seek help for their efforts from like-minded francophones.“This is a false crisis being created by the premier to rouse or to keep his hardliners in tow.” The bill tabled by the government on Monday will amend Law 101, the charter passed by the Parti Québécois government in the late 1970s.See LANGUAGE Page 2 Together: About so Bishop’s University students

BEATON 2—The RECORD—Tuesday, June 11, 1996 PO wants ‘a wink of the eye’ De Gaulle’s name By Jack Branswell CHICOUTIMI (CP) — France will back whatever political option Quebecers choose, French Prime Minister Alain Juppé said Monday.“Regardless of what destiny you choose, France will support you,” he said in a speech.Juppé, in Canada for a three-day visit, called Quebecers a people and referred indirectly to Gen.Charles de Gaulle’s famous comments on Quebec sovereignty in 1967.De Gaulle’s name stuck out in otherwise innocuous speeches that Juppé and Premier Lucien Bouchard gave at a brief reception on the edge of the Saguenay River in Chicoutimi.The two men directly linked themselves to de Gaulle’s famous speech in 1967 in Mon- treal when he said: “Vive le Québec libre.” That speech created a diplomatic incident between France and Canada but served as a boon to Quebec separatists.Juppé referred to Quebec as “the living and warm symbol of the French fact in America.” He also called it this “loyal land that General de Gaulle celebrated with lyricism and ardor.” France’s official policy regarding the Quebec question is “non-interference but nonindifference.” But French President Jacques Chirac is known to be sympathetic to Quebec sovereignty and last January he said France should be the first country to recognize an independent Quebec.An easy win on each side: Liberals, MONTREAL (CP) — The Parti Québécois and the Liberals split two byelections in Montreal-area ridings Monday.The PQ held on to L’Assomption, former premier Jacques Parizeau’s riding, as Jean-Claude St-André rolled to Péquistes an easy win.But the Liberals retained Outremont with Pierre-Etienne Laporte cruising to an easy victory.The Liberals have held the riding since 1939.The results leave the standings in the 125-seat National Assembly as follows: PQ, 75; dominates Juppé meeting Quebec was happy with Juppé’s message.As one senior adviser to Bouchard was heard saying to a French journalist: “All we’re looking for from France during referendums is a wink of the eye.” Bouchard called Chirac “an uncontestable and loyal friend of Quebec.“The both of you (Chirac and Juppé) inspire the heritage of General de Gaulle, a great wise man of the century and a man for whom all of Quebec has a deep respect.” Juppé lauded Quebecers’ spirit and his speech was peppered with talk of Quebec’s destiny.“Quebec, like no other people, has not yielded to doubt or given up,” he said.“It never despaired about its destiny.” Liberals, 47, Action Démocrati-que, one; and two

trade agreement in all but name.” Some of the EU’s 15 members — chiefly France and Spain — are also unhappy with the language to be used in the pact with Canada, thinking it goes too far toward a

The RECORD—Tuesday, June 11, 1996—3 Townships ‘Domicile1 debate fogged referendum vote Bishop’s students urged By Rita Legault LENNOXVTLLE — At least seven Bishop’s University students have received notices accusing them of voting illegally in last October’s referendum.The legal notices, which were hand delivered over the last week to students still living in Lennoxville, accuse them of voting while not being domiciled in Quebec.Each is to be fined $516 — the minimum allowed in the referendum law plus a $16 administration fee.In April chief electoral officer Pierre F.Côté announced that 50 Bishop’s students would be charged — 40 for voting illegally and another 10 for unlawfully being on the voters list.On Friday, Côté issued a list of 80 people and 11 businesses issued writs for breaking Quebec’s electoral law during the referendum.As well as a half dozen Bishop’s students, the list includes deputy returning officers and Yes organizers charged with rejecting ballots in Chomedey, Laurier-Dorion and Marguerite Bourgeoys ridings, and individuals and businesses charged with illegal spending for the giant unity rally in Montreal on October 27.MORE TO COME Côté’s press release states that “43 other statements are in the process of being served because the students allegedly no longer have an address in Quebec.” Bishop’s student president Joey McCooey said many of the students who’ve been charged have contacted the Student Representative Council to seek advice.McCooey said students being charged have three options: they can: plead guilty by paying the fine; get their own lawyer; or keep in touch with the SRC to see if they can contest the charges as a group.At the very least, he said he hopes students will inquire about their rights so they can make a better-informed decision.In the meantime, McCooey said the student council is trying to co-ordinate legal representation for the students.“We are trying to ensure they are all on the same page as far as defence strategies go,” he said, adding that he has been in touch with the university lawyer and others to get advice.McCooey said some individuals are also trying to set up defence funds for the students.“One man in Ontario said that people are standing behind the businesses which have been charged and he doesn’t want the students left hanging out to dry,” McCooey said.READY TO FIGHT “I know for sure there will be people fighting this,” McCooey said, after talking to those already facing charges.“They generally feel they have the right to vote and they are going to defend that.” One student told the Record he intends to fight the charge but did not want to discuss his case in public for fear of prejudicing it.McCooey said that during the pre-referendum revision period some of the students now bei ng charged had received notices to appear before the board of revisors, then received a second notice saying to disregard the first one.“Now, lo and behold, six months later they are being charged,” he said.The charges followed complaints by local Parti Québécois organizers and an investigation by Elections Quebec in which about 160 students were questioned.Following the inquiry Côté concluded he had reasonable grounds to believe that one-third of them had either voted illegally, thus violating section 553.1 of the election act, or had signed enumeration slips without being qualified elec-tors, violating section 551.1.o DOMICILE < Quebec’s electoral law says ® persons who have not been g domiciled in Quebec for at least g six months are not considered g qualified voters and are there- g fore not entitled to cast ballots.“¦ But according to Côté’s office, | the notion of domicile means ^ not only one’s permanent place “ of residence, but also where one to fight intends to live in the future.“They changed the perspective from the past to the future,” McCooey said.“I can’t see how they can strike student voters because they can’t prove where they will be in the future.” The SRC president said that charges so far the Bishop’s administration has been helpful, but has made no open declaration of support for the students.McCooey is scheduled to meet with Bishop’s principal Janyne Hodder this morning to discuss the issue.Joey McCooey: Bishop’s students ready to fightfor their right to vote.Ü) ‘Returning natural resources to the public’ Hydro hands green money to municipalities By Paul Cherry WINDSOR — Five Eastern Townships municipalities will be involved in a program with Hydro Québec this summer that has the environment in mind.The municipalities presenting their projects in Windsor Monday night included Val-Saint-François, Saint-Claude, Windsor, Val-Joli and the Brompton Township.Hydro Quebec started the program ten years ago when it decided to donate money to municipalities where it was constructing power lines.The company is giving $674,355 to the municipalities whose environment was effected by power lines contructed in the Townships in 1992.As usual, Hydro awarded funds to municipalities whose proposals focused on the environment.“Obviously we can’t replace a tree for a tree as we work in a certain area,” said Michel Gaumond, director of communications for the program.“So priority always goes to projects that focus on returning natural resources to the public,” he said.One of those projects was unveiled by the Brompton Township.The municipality will construct a park along the St-Francis River.Claude Belle-humeur, director of the Brompton project, said the park’s main focus will be environment education.The project will include information panels along the banks of the river indicating how clean-up efforts are going.Windsor Mayor Carmen Juneau presented plans for an elaborate park to be built on land Domtar donated to the town earlier this year.The project will include a fis- hing park at the junction of the St-Francis and Watopeka rivers, once the site of the world’s first-ever wood-pulp paper mill.The fishing park will also be outfitted with picnic areas which Juneau hopes will prompt families to use it.Another section of the park will be available for canoeists and kayakers to travel down the Watopeka.The river can be used for any level of kayaker and the town hopes it will eventually be used for competitions by the Fédération québécoise de canot-camping.The history of Windsor and its relationship with Domtar will the theme of a picnic area in the park.“As this is a paper town I feel this should be reflected in the park,” said Juneau during the press conference.The Windsor project will also have hiking and bicycle trails throughout the seperate areas of the park.The other three municipalities will use the funds to build similar parks along their natural water areas.Besides the creation of a park Val-Joli is also using the funds have received to improve a filter treatment facility to purify the town’s drinking water.qj HEART AND STROKE

The RECORD—Tuesday, June II, 1996—6 Townships I didn’t notice the strong aroma at all.Weddings: None of the trappings really matter With absolutely no warning, the altar boy fainted in mid-ceremony.Seconds later, the best man started to swoon and was assisted out of church.Happily, the ceremony continued without missing a beat.And the fainting episode has not marred our memories of that special day in our lives.June is one of the most popular months for weddings.Maybe because all threat of winter is over and the lazy dog days of summer haven’t arrived.For the farmers in our midst, seeding is over — in a normal year — and haying’s not begun.Each wedding has its own character, and set of special circumstances.This uniqueness creates touching moments and interesting anecdotes — like those mentioned from my own wedding.Fortunately, the Reverend, Susan C.Mast i ne Russell and I, our other attendants and guests were not overtaken by the fumes.Two cans of pine-scented aerosol air freshener had been pumped into the musty building the evening before.I didn’t notice the strong aroma at all, and hadn’t a clue what caused the commotion.Calmness reigned.I later learned that prior to my arrival, there had been confusion as to who had the key to the church.When it was finally located, all the guests had arrived, and no one thought to open the windows to let fresh air in and the the powerful scent out.There are weddings planned months, even years, in advance.No longer do prospective grooms ask for permission or the approval of the father of the bride.Elopements are very rare.The expression “shotgun wedding” has gone into disuse.Wedding consultants are in a blooming field.They can be hired to take over the organization of the entire event, making it fashionable, commercial and very expensive.They can go so far as to have the bride- and groom-to-be choose a theme for the wedding.Don’t we automatically know the theme of the day?Once upon a time in the Townships, couples tied the knot on a Wednesday.The bride wore white and carried flowers picked from the garden, the orchard or the field.Her attendants wore pastel-colored dresses.No one but the bride dared to wear white.Now there are weddings where everyone’s dressed in white, or denim, or period costumes.Veils have been replaced by headbands and flowers.Black, which was the color of mourning, is becoming popular for the gowns of bridal attendants.Silk and dried flowers are sometimes used instead of real ones, even in spring and summer.The guests may precede the bride into the church or follow her in.The bride may be escorted up the aisle by either or both parents or her husband-to-be.Vows may be those from the prayer book or special words chosen or composed by the couple being married.Music prior, during, and following the ceremony may be hymns, classical renditions or country ballads.The newlyweds may leave the church in a limo, sports coupé, truck, horse-drawn carriage or antique car.The wedding cake may be a fruitcake — not often these days — or white or chocol ate cake, or fan -cy frosting-covered Styrofoam, with the real dessert being apple crisp or lemon pie.Times, they are a’changing.In the overall scheme of things, none of the trappings really matter.What must stand out loud and strong is the love being expressed, the commitments being made and the happiness being shared with family and friends.Life on the home front and overseas Memories of World War II in Lennoxville By Paul Cherry LENNOXVILLE — As she got off the train from Halifax in 1946 Ruby Hallam could only think of one thing as she looked over the Townships for the first time, the heat.Hallam arrived in Lennoxville from England as a war bride and her first impressions were that the tweed suit she had on was inappropriate for a Townships summer.The trunk with all of her other clothes was at least one week behind.Hallam’s story is one of many being shared at meetings being held by the Lennoxville Ascot Historical & Museum Society.The meetings are part of an effort the society is undertaking to record information on life as it was in Lennoxville during the Second World War.The society had recieved a grant from the Minister of Culture earlier this year for this purpose.Last Thurday’s meeting at the town hall was the group’s first.Society director Dick Evans hopes that the get-togethers will provide information for a planned third volume of Lennoxville history.The meeting produced remembrances of relatives who went off to war and how life in general was back then.“I remember seeing the headline that said Poland was invaded when I was in grade two,” recalled Edson Warner.“I asked my mother what it meant and she said ‘it means trouble’.” Six of Warner’s uncles went off to Europe during the war.“One of them is buried in Denmark and one is buried in France,” said Warner.He also remembered that it rained horribly in Lennoxville on VE day.The town used Bishop’s football field as a parking lot for the celebration.The many trucks that parked on the field left it in ruins for awhile.All of the people attending the meeting who were around then remembered there was a POW camp in Sherbrooke during the war.Despite a few escape attempts the general consensus at the meeting was the camp was not seen as a menace to the town.A few people in attendance even remember former prisoners settling into the city after the war.Hallam was not around Lennoxville during the war.Yet as a war bride she is a significant part of the era’s history.Over 47,000 war brides came to Canada during or after the war.Being from Europe Hallam did not yet have a notion of the size of her new home when she arrived.“I could not get over the vastness of it,” said Hallam when asked to describe her first thoughts on Canada.At that point she had only been on a train from Halifax to Lennoxville.Other people at the meeting recalled rationing, cadet training, and friends or family going off to fight.There even appeared to be a sudden increase in the memberships at the area monasteries during the war.Some also remember I fearing the war would somehow come to Canada.Evans said that he hopes to hold more meetings like last Thurday’s in the near future.“It is important for us to record the information while it is still there,” said Evans.Ruby

francophones have managed to evolve Just when you thought it was safe to speak English again, the Parti Québécois decides to stir up the pot by bringing back the language cops.It’s just what the doctor ordered to help ensure the patient stays as sick as ever.At a time when language tensions are subsiding and governments across the country are slashing budgets, the PQ have decided it’s time to fork out $5 million to make sure the French language will still be around in the next century.Like it won’t be around in four years time, or forty for that matter.Just what I want my hard-earned tax dollars to pay for.The fact of the matter is that despite the efforts of the province’s political elite, anglophones and francophones have managed to evolve into a peaceful coexistance.You might order at a restaurant in French, and the clerk at the dépanneur might serve you in English.In tricky situations the two of you might speak a bit of both languages.Sometimes anglos even carry on conversations with each other in French, not realising that they are indeed speaking to a fellow bloke.But amid this mutual respect and simple getting along, the Péquistes, despite pledges to build bridges with anglophones, has reverted to their late 1970s franco-fanaticism.They fear the possible return to dominance of the ‘Devil’s Tongue,’ which, if left unchecked, could destroy modem Quebec as we know it.All of this comes at a time when Lucien Bouchard has supposedly been trying to build bridges between the PQ and the anglophone community.So far all he’s done is have a photo op with about 400 anglos earlier this year, but little else, and absolutely nothing of substance.It’s a bit like patching a muffler with a cigarette paper: pretty useless.Bringing back the language cops is more than anything an attempt to keep the hardline separatists happy.But as Preston Manning is finding out in the Canadian West, it’s hard to attract enough mainstream support to do what he wants without alienating the good ol’ boys who put him in Ottawa in the first place.If Bouchard wants to woo the province’s anglophones and allophones, he’s going to have to risk losing the support of the rabid separatists who founded the PQ.Tensions between the English and the French can be worked out to everyone’s satisfaction.All we have to do is exclude the PQ from the process.MAURICE CROSSFIELD

potential to create wealth and peace but also serious disruptions, Henry Kissinger says.The former U.S.secretary of state said the problem is that worldwide competition forces companies to produce more efficiently with fewer employees.“There used to be a correlation between production and employment,” said Kissinger in a lecture at a conference on globalization.“This is no longer the case, especially in developed countries.” The former diplomat’s presence drew a few dozen demonstrators denouncing him and free trade in general.The demonstrators accused Kissinger, winner of a Nobel peace prize, of war crimes during the Vietnam War, the 1973 coup d’etat in Chili and the invasion of East Timor by Indonesia.Police arrested 31 of them for blocking the main entrance to the hotel.There was no word on what charges were laid.Companies can make huge increases in production without hiring more people, Kissinger told his audience.“This creates the potential for political crises in many countries, especially developed countries.” Kissinger said the world is going through a “a great change in human consciousness,” similar to Europe emerging from the Middle Ages, and this raises “levels of uncertainty.” He said one of the results is ethnic and national conflicts, but he added that none of his remarks referred to Quebec separation.He said later he had met with Quebec Premier Lucien Bouchard.Federal Finance Minister Paul Martin, who spoke before Kissinger, agreed moves toward globalization provoke a “natural apprehension to rapid change.” Martin said the demonstration outside the hotel was an example of fears over job security and wages.“We have to confront resistance to change, and then move forward,” said Martin.He promised there would be “e-normous benefits ahead after this time of transition.” The chemicals of life’?Vinegar in distant space cloud MADISON, Wis.(AP) — In a stellar cloud 25,000 light years from Earth, researchers have found ordinary vinegar, an organic molecule that may have played a role in the formation of life.Radio astronomers from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, found the faint traces of vinegar, also known as acetic acid, in a cloud of gas and dust named Sagittarius B2 North.“Acetic acid could have been one of the first steps toward the chemicals of life,” said Lewis Snyder, one of the University of Illinois team.“If you add a form of ammonia to it, you get glycine, the simplest, biologically important ami- no acid.” Amino acids are the basic building blocks of life.Proteins and DNA are made up of combinations of common amino acids, and proteins are in all living organisms.Ammonia was discovered in interstellar space more than 25 years ago.That makes it very plausible, Snyder said, that molecules of ammonia and acetic acid linked up to form the basic amino acid.The vinegar molecules were found in a cloud similar to the cloud that astronomers believe formed the sun and the planets, including Earth, in the solar system, Snyder said.Finding vinegar in such a cloud, so far away from Earth, suggests that the chemicals necessary for life were present in the solar system as it formed 4.5 billion years ago, he said.“This is pretty much the same sort of stuff that rained down on the early Earth, and the same stuff that we may find in comets, asteroids and meteorites,” said Snyder.“This shows that the environment was right for finding glycine (the basic amino acid).” A team led by David Mehringer reported on the discovery Monday at the national meeting of the American Astronomical Society at the University of Wisconsin.

cents an hour in Honduras Celebrity-endorsed goods made in sweatshops?NEW YORK (AP) - It doesn’t matter whether the purchase is a $9.96 Kathie Lee Gifford blouse at Wal-Mart or a $99 pair of Air Jordans, there is no guarantee that the celebrity-endorsed product wasn’t made in a sweatshop.And eliminating unhealthy, underpaying factories is tough enough in the United States, never mind in underdeveloped countries such as Honduras, where workers sew both Gifford’s line for Wal-Mart and Jaclyn Smith clothes for Kmart.In Indonesia, labor activists say people work 65-hour weeks to meet production quotas for Nike shoes and clothing, endorsed by dozens of celebrities including Michael Jordan.“There’s a lot of forced overtime, there’s a lot of mistreatment and physical punishment,” said Jeff Ballinger, who has documented conditions at the Nike plants.When workers protest, they are fired or questioned by the military, he said.Nike, Kmart and the celebrities deny the charges.Revelations this year that New York City employees worked 60-hour weeks to make blouses for Gifford, and Hondurans worked for 31 cents an hour to make pants for her clothing line, focused national attention on sweatshop abuses.“The problem of sweatshops is a national disgrace,” U.S.Secretary of Labor Robert Reich said.More than half of the 22,000 cutting and sewing shops in the U.S.garment industry pay below minimum wage, he said, and more than a third threaten employee health and safety.Many pay weeks and months late.Gifford has become a spokeswoman for the antisweatshop crusade, but labor activists say the problem doesn’t end with her.Kernaghan, director of the National Labor Committee, says workers at one factory in Honduras work up to 75 hours a week to meet production quotas for Smith’s Kmart line.Timbuktu accused of sample tampering By Heather ScolTield TORONTO (CP) — Another high-flying gold stock is in trouble, tarnishing the image of Canada’s junior mining companies.An independent report on Timbuktu Gold Corp., traded on the Alberta Stock Exchange, has shown that fantastic drill results published by the company this spring may have been fudged.“Everybody’s reputation is at stake here,” Ray Antony, interim president of Timbuktu, said Monday.“It’s a black eye for us,” agreed Tim Daly, vice-president of market surveillance for the Alberta exchange.“This is a pretty serious event.” The Alberta exchange ordered an independent report of Timbuktu Gold’s drilling results earlier this spring.The report shows that independent analysis of the company’s holdings in West Africa do not match the published results.“This is strongly suggestive of sample tampering,” the company said in a release Monday.The report concludes “there is compelling evidence that deliberate sample enrichment has occurred.” The company warned investors Monday that all the drilling results it has released so far “must be viewed as entirely unreliable.” There’s no way to tell who tampered with the results or where the tampering took place, Antony said.There are four or five different steps to drill results and anyone handling the samples could be a suspect.The ASE halted trading in Timbuktu shares April 19, two days after the company released its drilling results and the share price soared.But the halt in trading had nothing to do with fudged drill results at first.The stock exchange, renowned for its listings of junior mining companies, wanted to know more about Timbuktu president Oliver Reese, who had not disclosed his troubled past as a stock promoter in the United States, Daly said.Reese was twice penalized in the U.S.for dealings in mining companies.He was banned from selling unregistered shares in 1965 and again in 1987 for violating fraud sections of U.S.securities law.Reese resigned and the Alberta Stock Exchange hired an independent mining consulting firm to watch over the company and its results.“We’ll pursue this as far as we can,” said Daly.We 11 talk to other regulators if we have to and the RCMP.Employees are searched as they enter the plant and routinely denied overtime and vacation pay, he said.Workers as young as 13 are shouted at and threatened, Kernaghan said, and 15-year-olds pack garments “16 hours a day on their feet during the busy season.” Smith, who starred in the 1970s TV show Charlie’s Angels, called Kernaghan’s allegations “totally untrue.“I know without a doubt that, the factories are inspected regularly,” she said.All Kmart factories are inspected, vendors comply with labor laws, and contracts are cancelled if violations exist, Kmart spokeswoman Michelle Jasukaitis said.Nike says it pays its Indonesian workers $117 per month, or 53 cents an hour.The minimum wage in Indonesia is about 25 cents an hour.“I don’t know the complete situation,” Jordan said last week.“Why should I?I’m trying to do my job.Hopefully, Nike will do the right thing, whatever that might be.” minrr

The RECORD—Tuesday, June 11, 1996—9 Arts and Entertainment Consumerism reaches new heights in movies By John Horn LOS ANGELES (AP) — Here’s the swing — and the pitch.Kevin Costner packs a Taylor Made Burner Bubble driver in his Tin Cup golf bag.Tom Cruise surfs the Net on an Apple Power Book 5300 in Mission: Impossible.Pierce Brosnan’s Goldeneye James Bond has traded up to a BMW Z3 Roadster.And Demolition Man’s Sylvester Stallone dines at a Taco Bell.Or is it a Pizza Hut?Consumer products have never played a more prominent co-starring role in the movies, and the marketing doesn’t stop on screen.In a multimillion-dollar effort to cash in on hit films, companies are laying out huge sums to become promotional partners with Hollywood blockbusters.For the manufacturers, the advantages are twofold.For minimal cost, a product can share the screen with Bruce Willis or Julia Roberts.And with the right advertising campaign, something as dull as a hamburger can enjoy a fortune of brand-name publicity.Reese’s Pieces got a huge boost from E.T.the Extra-Terrestrial, and Toy Story sparked an avalanche of once-defunct Slinky Dog sales.McDonald’s, PepsiCo, Apple and BMW have recently shelled out millions to become promotional partners with Holly- wood’s top filmmakers.McDonald’s pact with Disney, for instance, means the fast-food chain will be Disney’s primary promotional partner for 10 years.“More and more marketers are trying to do movie promotions,” says Dean Ayers, president of the Entertainment Resources and Marketing Association.“Today’s films are a major force in creating icons and showing what’s hip and trendy.They drive people into the stores.” For the studios and filmmakers, the placement and promotion deals are a sure-fire daily double.Products lend a movie real-world authenticity, and can help defray costly prop and wardrobe budgets.Best of all is the free advertising.Just like studio executives, marketing experts struggle to pick which film will — or will not — be a hit.And even with a filmmaker’s promise, a product placement can backfire.Black and Decker paid to have a drill featured in one of the Die Hard movies, but the power tool landed on the cutting-room floor.Coca-Cola successfully asked Oliver Stone to cut a Coke commercial from the ultraviolent Natural Born Killers.Orkin lent its pest-control name to Pacific Heights, but was aghast (and later sued) when the movie depicted an Orkin technician as a hopeless dolt.Many films do not lend themselves to product placement and promotional tie-ins.Jack Daniels, for instance, would have been crazy to sign on with the alcoholic drama Leaving Las Vegas.Cast and crew members say the real benefit of product placement is free loot.Taylor Made has given away valuable golf equipment to two dozen Warner Bros, executives, and Nike is loved throughout Hollywood for showering everyone with free shoes and sporting goods.The only reason Travolta and Christian Slater wear Adidas boxing shoes in Broken Arrow is that one of the producers wanted Adidas freebies for his personal shoe collection.Cable doc studies the ‘science’ in science fiction By John McKay TORONTO (CP) — Time travel.Warp speed.Transporters.Genetic engineering.Androids.How many of these concepts, so common to today’s science fiction literature and movies, are a real-life possibility?Sci-fi, after all, was remarkably prescient about lunar travel and lasers.On the other hand, science fact has not produced atomic-powered homes, flying cars and the vacations to Mars we read about in our childhood.Separating the science potential from science fiction is the aim of a five-part documentary airing through Friday this week on Discovery Channel’s (at)discovery.ca.“Science fiction has been less about predicting and more about warning,” says Michael Lennick, a Canadian special-effects film-maker who wrote, produced and narrated the series, called The Science of Science Fiction.So Lennick is reluctant to draw up a scorecard for sci-fi’s technical accuracy.“Science fiction has a tendency to take a set of circumstances and extrapolate how human beings would respond in them .and seeing how that would affect society or where it would take it or when we would get in trouble.” Lennick says such extrapolations indicate that we often look before we leap, and that we’re not terribly careful about the really important choices we make.He cites as examples our penchant for giving blind obedience to leaders (1984), and for slave economies (the droids in Star Wars and the replicants of Blade Runner).The series includes interviews with the likes of film director Robert Wise and science fiction writer Harlan Ellison.And through a generous use of quaint and fascinating clips from Hollywood sci-fi over the years, from 1950’s Destination Moon to 1990’s Total Recall, Lennick’s documentary shows that the forecasting has been hit-and-miss.For example, while both moon travel and TV were predicted long ago, no one foresaw TV coverage of a lunar landing.Hyper-drive, or “making the jump to light speed,” as they said in Star Wars to perform interstellar travel, is horribly complicated but not necessary impossible forever, Einstein’s rules of physics notwithstanding.On the other hand, it seems doubtful that a universe that would permit time travel — allowing a person to go back in time and kill a rival when they were a child, for example — could avoid total collapse.As to whether alien visitations are possible, or even a fact, Lennick says such stories are what they’ve always been: metaphors for our own human existence.Top Ten lifeguards punished for David Letterman appearance LOS ANGELES (AP) — David Letterman got a lot of laughs using real lifeguards to announce his nightly Top 10 list while doing his show in southern California last year.Lifeguard bosses weren’t watching, but they heard about it months later — and they were not amused.The Los Angeles County Lifeguard Service’s star lifeguard, who has dominated U.S.swimming, rowing and running competitions against other lifeguards for most of the ’90s, got a three-week suspension without pay last week.Ten others, including one whose bit was edited out of the show, got written reprimands.“These guys embarrassed dad a little bit,” said outgoing lifeguard chief Don Rohrer, who retired June 1.“One of them got a spanking and the rest couldn’t watch TV for a week.” The suspended lifeguard, Craig Hummer, 31, questioned the discipline, especially objecting to an order prohibiting him from using his lifeguard achievements to promote a budding modelling and acting career.“Who gives them the right to control my life and what I say?” Hummer said.“Up until this incident, they were perfectly willing to take credit for me being part of the organization.” The Letterman sketch featured guards filmed at the beach reciting a list of humorous lifeguard pickup lines.Samples include: — “Coast guard regulations — Miss, I have to inspect you for sand mites.” — “I want to be with you tonight, even though you are a plastic CPR dummy.” — “The Red Cross has certified me as a fully trained love machine.” “We tell ourselves stories about beings coming to Earth to issue us dire warnings, or to steal our women, because these are metaphors that tell us how we behave or how we should behave.” But one thing is indisputable.Science fiction has changed the history it was trying to foretell.Rocketry pioneer Robert Goddard was encouraged into a science career by reading the early books of Jules Verne and H.G.Wells.Steven Spielberg’s movies were clearly influenced by the low-budget but imaginative potboilers of his youth.And cautionary tales like On The Beach and Dr.Strangelove had a definite impact on our society’s views about nuclear warfare.“Science fiction combined a reverence for all the hard scientific truths, with a sense of wonder found in the loveliest fairy tales,” Lennick says in his series narration.The Science of Science Fiction airs daily through Friday, June 14, at 7 p.m.on Discovery Channel’s (at)discovery.ca Friendship Day Saturday, June 15,1996 at the St.Antoine School 10 a.m.to 4

these are popular, and Janice Fraser emphasized that volunteer help is needed, particularly when a bus load of guests arrives.She will be glad to add phone numbers to those she received at the meeting where she can request occasional or emergency help.The President set up a meeting for Tuesday the 21st to plan a silent auction for Friendship Day in Lennoxville.There is an open house at Uplands for the day, and the auction will be in the Bam.Gifts and help were solicited for this, and ideas for a float.With 114 members in the Garden Club more participation is seen from this quarter.The Grounds Committee will meet in June.Following the business meet- ing Mr.Michel Joncas spoke briefly about the E.T.Bank which had commissioned the new renovated building where we were meeting.Besides Bombardier aforementioned the provincial and federal governments and the people of Sherbrooke had contributed to restoring and saving this architecturally valuable and attractive building.The pillars, the trim, the gilt please the eye, the windows are maintained in a way to protect the treasures that will be displayed in the museum, and the original vaults have a new use.Society member Monique Nadeau-Saumier, also a curator at Beaux Arts, was our hostess for the remainder of the evening.She first called attention to the Heneker and Morey portraits in the great hall, a special honoring of two of Sherbrooke’s outstanding citizens of a century ago.Then we went upstairs to view the F.S.Cobum exhibit under her guidance.This had a good coverage, with illustrations in the Record shortly before our own visit and will surely entice others to go, and gratifyingly so.We very much appreciated the opportunity and time to savor the great variety in Coburn's paintings.The winter scenes were familiar to all, I expect, but 1 heard repeated exclamations over the portraits.The Poe illustrations led to their surprised comments, as did those of various dances.Not to be missed — after all he was a neighbor too.Thanks to Monique from all of us.While we had coffee afterwards some of us were able to go out on the balcony from where we could watch and listen to the falls on the Magog River, just across the yard.A rewarding evening.Our last gathering of the season will be a pot luck supper at Uplands on June 17 at 6 p.m.Members can contact Marina Tracy at 569-4290 or Alice Kobelt at 562-3509 to pledge or check out the food to bring for our social evening.Submitted by Thelma Pitman Huntingville Alice Price 562-5794 Henry and Alice, Ron Jamieson and Zelma MacRae were in Kingston,

By Phillip Alder After the two classes in Buderim, Margaret Millar and I drove back to north Brisbane for an evening group of 106 at the Toowong Bridge Club.They had requested the lesson about watching spot cards and entries.Benjamin Franklin said, “Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.'’ At the bridge table, though, you must keep your eyes wide open both before and after the appearance of the dummy.Most saw the right line in this deal.Against three no-trump, West leads the spade queen.How would you plan the play?This contract looked so easy: Win the first trick, play a club to the ace, cash the club queen, cross to the heart ace, run the rest of the clubs and claim 10 tricks.However, whenever a deal seems simple, look for a possible problem.Here, it centers on the club suit: What if an opponent holds four clubs including the jack?Then the suit will not be running when you get into the dummy, and 10 tricks will have dropped to seven (or eight, if the diamond finesse works).The answer is to play a club to the ace at trick two and to overtake the club queen with dummy’s king at trick three.Drive out the club jack and claim nine tricks: two spades, one heart, one diamond and five clubs.True, most of the time (73.5 percent) you will cost yourself an overtrick (30 points), but if you go two down in a makable game, it is a lot more expensive (in tournament scoring, 500 points when nonvulnerable: minus 100 instead of plus 400; and 800 points when vulnerable: minus 200 instead of plus 600).€1996 by NEA Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER
