office won a round in their public-relations war on Thursday against a new plan that will force them to pay 25 per cent of their prescription drug costs.The protesters are to meet today with Health Minister Jean Rochon, but warned they won’t call off their sit-in until Premier Lucien Bouchard meets them in person.On Aug.1, Quebecers over 65 and welfare recipients will pay 25 per cent of their drug costs to a maximum of $312 by the end of this year under the new health-insurance plan.Some 50 members of a seniors lobby group and a coalition to save social programs began the riding office occupation on Wednesday.They said they might pull out if Rochon brings along his government’s promise to postpone changes that would make welfare recipients and people over 65 pay for part of their medication as of Aug.1.Bouchard has said he can’t meet the protesters because he will soon be on vacation.He added that seniors also must contribute to the government’s attempts to tidy up its finances.Kathleen Gorman, a spoke-woman for the protesters, said they are prepared to stay “until Mr.Bouchard comes back from his vacation a day early and gives us a meeting.” She brushed off Bouchard’s excuse of pre-vacation rush, saying the premier managed to change his schedule on Wednesday to meet a European dignitary.“If he can do that, surely for the citizens who elected him and who he’s responsible to, surely he can modify his vaca- tion agenda and come back a day early.” Rochon said Thursday the government will not be moved from the Aug.1 start-up date.He plans to explain to the occupiers that the changes aren’t as radical as they fear.A similar tough stance was taken by André Boisclair, the minister for relations with citizens whose offices were target-ted by the sit-in.6Look me in the eyes’ iitisi •: ¦ ?v "4 Before Marcel Blanchette faced charges of kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault in Quebec Court Thursday, he had to face the victim’s father asking

OTTAWA (CP) — Canada is considering two trade actions against the United States over an American law that punishes companies for doing business in Cuba.As expected, Trade Minister Art Eggleton said Thursday that Canada will likely go ahead with a request for a dispute resolution panel under the North American Free Trade Agreement.Eggleton also hinted Canada could join the European Union in an action before the World Trade Organization if President Bill Clinton doesn’t rescind the Helms-Burton bill.Normally, Canada could not pursue related trade actions under NAFTA and the WTO at the same time because of its treaty obligations with the U.S.But government officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Ottawa still has the option of signing on with the Europeans as an interested third party, and the Chrétien government is poised to do just that.Eggleton, on his way to a cabinet meeting, said Ottawa is in close contact with Mexico over the NAFTA action.The federal government

treated as second-class citizens in Canada, Catalonia’s president said Thursday, appearing to backtrack on a previous statement that they haven’t experienced linguistic persecution.Jordi Pujol said French-speaking Quebecers have been in a precarious situation for a long time.Quebecers have been treated as “second-class citizens in their own country in economic, social, political and educational terms,” he said.“It’s a sort of discrimination, a will to marginalize the French people of Quebec.” Pujol, who ended his official visit to Quebec on Thursday, said he wanted to clarify his comments Wednesday.“Either I expressed myself poorly or you misunderstood me,” Pujol told a news conference.The head of the autonomous government in the northeastern region of Spain speaks six languages, including fluent French.Premier Lucien Bouchard’s office had no reaction to Pujol’s latest comments.While Pujol offended sovereigntists Wednesday, he likely did the same Thursday to federalists.He' said he accepted Quebec’s invitation because he “-wante4 to show our sympathy, comprehension and support for the Quebec nationalist cause.” Bouchard appoints five female deputy ministers QUEBEC (CP) — Premier Lucien Bouchard appointed five women as deputy ministers Thursday bringing the total number of women in the senior levels to eight out of 23 positions.“It is a fairly important shuffle which is categorized by a large number of women reaching the top level of the civil service,” Bouchard said.“There are a considerable number of women who will become deputy ministers — it has never been seen before.” The decision comes only a few weeks after the government enraged women’s groups for postponing the adoption of its pay-equity legislation until at least the fall.Bouchard’s new female deputy ministers are: — Pauline Champoux-Lesage, assistant deputy minister of education, is responsible for municipal affairs.— Diane Gaudet, assistant deputy minister for suburban Laval’s regional development, moves to the Environment Department.— Nicole Fontaine of the public curator’s office goes to Citizens Relations and Immigration.— Michele Buissières, delegate-general to Mexico, takes up the International Relations Department.— Monique Bégin, director-general of the Quebec City region’s health and social services board, is now in regional development. 2—The RECORD—Friday, July 12, 1996 Raspberry fields forever One of the biggest raspberry farms in the Townships just added another branch to its business.The Framboisière de l’Estrie located in Johnville has just opened a new shop on its 16-acre raspberry picking property.Customers can find various produce items from farmers all over the nearby area and from places like Green’s bakery in Lennoxville.The shop’s speciality will

weren’t laid for alleged fraud of the unemployment insurance system, Justice Minister Allan Rock said Thursday.Rock said the investigation of Elizabeth Roux, daughter of Quebec Senator Thérèse Lavoie-Roux, ran its full course and a decision was made according to standard legal criteria not to lay charges.“Sometimes the police think there’s a case to be brought before the courts, sometimes

broke.“I’m also informed that after the initial decision was made, and the police expressed disappointment, he (the Crown lawyer) went back and reviewed the matter with more senior people in the office and the decision was confirmed.” Neither Lavoie-Roux nor her daughter were available for comment.WEATHE R Sunny with cloudy periods and the high will be near 25.Outlook for Saturday: Cloudy all

faced charges of kidnapping and aggravated sexual assault in Quebec Court Thursday, he had to face the victim’s father.Primary suspect in the Isabelle Bolduc homicide, Blanchette had to walk past her father to get to the courthouse.Police also arrested two new suspects in the Bolduc case Thursday morning, Marcel Bolduc, Isabelle’s father, and Jocelyn Simard, a friend of the family, glared at Blanchette and said a few words as he was being led to a waiting police car.“Look at me,” Bolduc said as the suspect was escorted past him.“Do you hear me?I’m Isabelle Bolduc’s father.” Simard

suspect has yet to be charged with any crime involving Bolduc, who was missing from June 30 until her body was found in Fleurimont on Sunday.Investigators in the Bolduc case are considering Blanchette their primary suspect.He was arraigned Thursday afternoon on six different charges involving the rape and kidnapping of Saint-Louis.He pleaded not guilty on all charges.The charges included kidnapping, sexual assault and sexual assault with a firearm.Defence lawyer Peter Downey also informed Quebec Court Judge Danielle Côté that he would seek a psychiatric evaluation for Blanchette.“I

Street late into Thursday evening.Fournier would only say the new suspects know Blanchette and that one of them was already in jail when he became a suspect.He was arrested for violating parole while serving a sentence for a previous conviction.“We are expecting to press charges against him in the Bolduc case by tomorrow,” Fournier said.On Wednesday investigators would only say they had found “many small similarities” between the Bolduc homicide and what had happened to Saint-Louis.Before they arrested Blanchette the MUC police said they saw Saint-Louis go into a phone booth and make a call.She later told investigators she was forced to call someone and tell them she would not be coming into work on Wednesday.Isabelle Bolduc made a similar call the morning after she disappeared.Town water, sewers Upgrade on tap for Clarenceville Over rehab centre plans Referendum in Bedford zone BEDFORD (MC) — For the first time in 20 years some residents of Bedford will be voting in a municipal referendum.At issue is the rezoning of Massicotte Street to allow the L’Aube drug rehabilitation centre to set up shop in the predominantly residential area.The referendum, to be held on August 18, was called by Bedford town council following the registration of citizens opposed to the project.The town council itself was heavily in favor of the plan, with only councillor Lucien Ménard opposed.Ménard has said he opposes the project because of concern over public safety, noting that there is an elementary school nearby.Advocates of the project say those taking part in the drug rehabilitation programs will not be criminals, and will be required to stay on the property unless given permission by supervisors at the centre.They also say the centre would create a dozen good local jobs.Some 200 residents in the town zone known as RD 30 will be eligible to vote on the rezoning.That zone consists mainly of residents of Massicotte and Moreau streets west of St-Joseph.KNOWLTON (MC) — The municipality of Clarenceville will be getting a financial shot in the arm to upgrade its drinking water and sewage systems.In an agreement signed on July 5 by representatives of the municipality and the provinci al ministry of municipal affairs, Clarencevile will be spending $1.2 million to work on its water purification system.Under a program aimed at improving water quality, the provincial government will be handing over $1,020,000 for the project, leaving Clarenceville to pay for the remainder of the cost.The cost represents an increase of $215,000 over the $985,000 announced in the municipal budget last November.But according to a press release from the municipal affairs ministry, that increase is due to the necessity of building a new pumping station and a pipeline to carry waste water to an aqueduct at Venise-en-Quebec.But that’s not all of the changes in store for residents of Clarenceville.The town will also be getting $1,161,496 from two other government programs to upgrade their water system.Among the town’s plans Clarenceville will install new piping for the distribution of household drinking water.These new pipes will also include fire hydrants to increase the availability of water in the event of a fire.In the Desran-leau sector of Clarenceville, the municipality plans to install new piping to handle household sewage.

Not to mention the whole pur laine or Québécois de souche controversy.Perhaps the all-too-political lingo French Quebec and English Canada, modified to English Rest of Canada or ROC — has contributed to the development of the perception that Quebec equals French and elsewhere in Canada equals English.Whatever the cause, it looks like we’re into another ball game.• • • Beware — St.Swithin’s Day approaches.July 15 is St.Swithin’s Day.The importance of the day relates not to its namesake, a former patron saint of Winchester Cathedral, but to its connection with the weather.Ifit rains on July 15, it is said, then it will rain for 40 consecutive days.I am unaware of the origins of this association, but my grandfather was a firm believer.With the weather we’ve been having, I’m beginning to wonder if the date shouldn’t be changed.Maybe due to global warming.f '£ *1 ———.Lennoxercise days.The Lennoxville triathalon of family day activities ended on Thursday with a walk.Walkers briskly strode around several blocks that were up the hill from Centennial Park.The distance participants travel will be toted up and added to the distance covered by the cyclists and the swimmers.The goal is to cover the distance to Atlanta and the Olympics.Dogs countedfor double.‘Four legs, ’ said town councillor Doug MacAuley.David Yergeau was properly dressed in balloons artfully twisted by clown Ribambel — or Martial Côté, as some people know him.record photos/perry beaton •"-a* Please call >1 888 435-7999 !

Sickness care and life expectancy: Spending more doesn’t mean Doctor, Doctor, will I die?Yes you will and so will I 6—The RECORD—Friday, July 12, 1996 The flurry of hospital closings coinciding with repeated assurances that the public’s health will not be compromised deserves a closer look.The very idea being promulgated that more hospitals and more doctors don’t translate into better health for the population flies in the face of conventional wisdom inhaled from the cradle.Yet there is ample documentation that bears out what is often viewed, especially by the medical community, as outright heresy.Even the term health care is under attack since it has little to do with maintaining good health and much more to do with sickness care, more appropriately dubbed in French assurance maladie.Common sense alone dictates that good health results from clean air, pure water, unpolluted land, sane nutrition, garbage disposal, adequate housing, exercise, sober driving, safe sex, no tobacco and the moderate use of or absence of alcohol.Cash-strapped governments have suddenly become aware that burgeoning health care costs have placed the system itself in jeopardy, but even more important, all without resulting in increased life expectancy, no matter what you hear.Life expectancy from birth is the best measure of overall quality of health in a population and a statistic that is immune to tampering.Data on life expectancy vis-à-vis medical costs were collated in 1990 for industrial countries.McGill cardiologist and associate professor in medicine Colin Rose co-authored a paper with dietician-nutritionist Sandra Cohen-Rose, permitting two pertinent conclusions.One: There is a direct relationship between the amount of money spent on medical care and the gross national product (GNP).The richer the nation, the more is spent on doctors, hospitals and drugs.But, more to the point, there is no relationship between the money spent on medical care and life expectancy.In 1990 the United States spent, for example, six times as much as Greece.Yet life expectancy was higher in Greece.This information was corroborated the same year by the work of Amartra Sen, professor economics and philosophy at Harvard, who in the May issue of of Scientific American pointed out that even poor populations like those of the Indian province of Karala, China and Sri Lanka have higher life expectancies than Saudi Arabia, notorious for having invested billions in ultra-modern medical facilities and the training of its youth in Western medical schools.One cardiologist always travelled with the King in case he had a heart attack, the quintessential disease of the decadent West, but unknown to his Bedouin ancestors.Two: The Rose-Rose paper goes on to state that common fatal diseases are not due to lack of medical care but largely environmentally caused and difficult to treat if they can be treated at all.Poverty does not mean poor health.When a population can afford high-tech medicine, it seems to put its faith in gadgets and gathers a self-perpetuating momentum, thus giving less priority to the most important factors underlying good health.Canada and the U.S.spent about one trillion U.S.per year on sickness care.If we could give up the illusion of health flowing from medical care rather than from our own behavior, we could save $800 billion a year, more than enough to eliminate government deficits and make a good start on reducing debt.Doctors, who drive the system, would have to forsake their role of performing tests and operations and return to their proper role as compassionate, understanding clinicians and living longer educators.Many hospitals would close, many expensive drugs would not be prescribed and many unnecessary operations not performed.But the Rose-Rose paper concludes that we might actually live longer, as long as there is no decrease in hygiene and nutrition education, public health measures and adequate housing.The whole concept is hardly new.In 1673 the French playwright Molière proclaimed ‘Nearly all men die of their medicines, not of their disease’.IVY WEIR, R.N, Berry's World © 1996 by NEA.Inc.Egypt’s papers in a frenzy Israel blamed for evil sex gum By Mariam Sami CAIRO (AP) — To believe Egypt’s opposition press, Israel has launched a new war against Egypt — but an altogether different kind.The weapons are HIV-infected women who tempt Egyptian youth, hormone-laced gum that sends young girls into a sexual frenzy, even aphrodisiac makeup that sets the wearer aflame with desire when it touches the skin.This is the sex war, fought out on the pages of opposition newspapers that accuse Israel of plotting to despoil Egypt’s youth, undermine conservative Muslim values and corrupt Arab society.Of course, it’s all very farfetched.The sex gum, which contains no sexual stimulants, is not from Israel.The HIV-infected women sauntered onto the pages of the weekly Al-Arabi, then disappeared.The latest weapon — makeup that drives you wild — seems to be a fanciful account by the press.Still, headlines like Israel Launches Sex War and Pharmacists Sell Sex Bombs had the desired effect of casting suspicion on Israel for a threat to the virtue of young Egyptian women, a sensitive subject in this conservative Muslim country.“My mother and brother warned me from accepting any gum from strangers,” Rania Hashem, a freshman at the American University in Cairo, said Thursday.The opposition press strongly opposes diplomatic relations with Israel despite 17 years of peace.Al-Arabi — the newspaper of the Democratic Nasserite party — started the sex war with reports of the aphrodisiac gum surfacing in Mansoura, 110 kilometres north of Cairo.Fathers in the town were reported to be preventing their daughters from going to the local university, where the gum supposedly was distributed.Then Al-Ahrar, an Islamic-oriented weekly, reported that the scourge had spread and packs of gum were seized at two pharmacies in Cairo.Rumors spread of female students chasing after their male classmates.Karim Kassem, also an American University student, said he had not tried the gum but knew of friends — both men and women — who had.“They felt very anxious to have sex,” he said.With all the fuss, police seized packets of the gum, which is from Europe and has been sold quietly for years as an alleged aphrodisiac.Egypt’s Health Ministry dutifully analysed it.“It did not contain any sexual stimulants,” was the verdict of Dr.Magda Rakha, who heads the ministry’s laboratory.She said the gum could harm the liver “if taken for a long time.” So says Dr.Alias: Are hairy chests a sign of intelligence in men?LONDON (Reuter) — Hairy-chested men fed up with being written off as all brawn and no brains had the last laugh Thursday when a U.S.psychiatrist said body hair is in fact a sign of greater intelligence.Dr.Aikarakudy Alias of Chester, 111., told a meeting of European psychiatrists that hairy chests are more likely to be found among those who have had a university education.Research in the United States has shown that 45 per cent of male university students have more than the average amount of body hair compared to less than 10 per cent of the male population.Medical and engineering students in southern India have more body hair than manual laborers, he added.“When academic ranking among the students was examined, the hairier males got better grades,” he said.Some of the most intelligent men had hair on their backs as well as their chests.Alias conceded there were

says the president of the company which started the province’s recent price war at the pumps.Ultramar’s Alain Ferland says Quebec could stand to lose 20 per cent ofits 5,700 stations.He said his company wants to reduce the number ofits stations, although Ferland would not reveal how they would go about it.In an interview with Quebec City’s Le Soleil, Ferland would not say how much his company lost during the 18-day price war that raged in Quebec.But estimates for Ultramar go as high as $18.7 million.Prices in Montreal dropped to about 39.9 cents a litre, before Petro-Canada put an end to the war this week by jacking up its prices.Gas is now selling in Montreal for about 63.4 cents a litre.Job offers The Record and Canada Employment Centres across the Eastern Townships are publicizing job opportunities in the region.Persons who qualify for jobs should contact their nearest C E C.office or phone Telecentre at 564-4977 t Sherbrooke) or (514) 776-5285 (Granby).2093666 RECEPTIONIST, Sherbrooke.ST.ôOhour, July 7 to December 31, temp., full-time.High school, min.1 yr.exp., pleasant phone manners, know.WordPerfect, bilingual 545 mandatory, greet customers, mail.2092453 ENGLISH TEACHER, Sherbrooke.To be discussed, 2-3 yrs.exp.teaching English Secondary Level 4 or 5, must diploma, resume req.Teach English.2091979 CHAIN SAW OPERATOR, Magog area.Pay by the cord, plus bonus, perm., full-time.Must have chain saw, safety equip., own transportation.Work on selective cut.2094519 MECHANIC, Magog.To be negotiated, perm., full-time.5 yrs.exp., know, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, read plans, exp.injection moulds, must speak French.Equip, maintenance, repair injection moulds, drawing, making elements for machinery, moulds, other related duties.price war.Lawyers for L’Association des services de l’automobile du Quebec claimed chains like Ultramar, Shell, Petro-Canada and Imperial-Esso abused their position of dominance and collaborated to drastically reduce pump prices.They say they want the Bureau to investigate the chains’ sales, purchases and operations.Ultramar, which has almost 1,000 stations in the province, touched off the price war last month when it advertised it wouldn’t be undersold.Prices dipped to as low as 19.9 cents a litre, two gasoline trucks were stolen and independent gas station owners used tanker trucks to buy gas at competitors’ pumps to keep afloat financially.Association president Maurice Maisonneuve said it will be a while before Quebec’s 2,400 independently owned stations earn back the clients they lost Creation of a spousal trust upon death Taxpayers are deemed to have disposed of all their property at its fair market value at the time of their death.This results in a capital gain or depreciation recapture, depending on the type of property and, of course, the amount of tax payable.The specific rules for farm properties will not be dealt with in this article.Taxes payable upon death can be avoided where there is a surviving spouse.If the property is distributed to the spouse under the terms of a last will and testament, the deceased is deemed to have disposed of the property at cost.Thus, there are no tax consequences at this time.Property can also be transferred to a trust set up exclusively for the spouse.The will must therefore be drafted accordingly.The following are the criteria for the trust to qualify as being set up exclusively for the spouse for tax purposes: — The spouse was a Canadian resident prior to the taxpayer's death; — The trust must be created as a result of the deceased fax Talks person's last will and testament; — The spouse is entitled to all trust income during his or her lifetime; — No one other than the spouse can receive or obtain use of any portion of the trust's income or capital prior to the spouse's death.The term “spouse” refers to a person of the opposite sex with whom the individual has been cohabitating in a conjugal relationship for at least 12 months.The twelve-month rule need not be met when a child is born as a result of the union.Finally, remember that in the above situations taxes are not eliminated, but rather deferred until the surviving spouse dies, at which time the property will be deemed disposed of at its fair market value.Aline Bolduc Tax Department Raymond, Chabot, Martin, Paré General Partnership a RAYMOND, CHABOT, chartered MARTIN, PARÉ accountants A K 8 6 2 ¥ A ?5 * A K Q J 10 4 Vulnerable: East-West Dealer: East South West North East Pass 1* Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: ¥ 9 Don’t fear the worst By Phillip Alder When you play in a team tournament, you and your partner sit, say, North-South at one table, while your teammates are East-West at the other table.It is the purest form of bridge, with the luck element as low as possible.In today’s deal, South, despite having only two losers, decided to open with one club.He wasn’t too pleased when it was passed out! He was even less happy when he found that six clubs was laydown.Plus 170 looked like either six international match-points (IMPs) away if the opponents stopped in five dubs, or 13 IMPs out if they reached six clubs.No profit was possible.At the other table, South did the normal thing, opening two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing.A moment later, he was in six clubs.West led the heart nine.After winning with the ace, South drew trumps in two rounds.Now, though, instead of continuing with three rounds of spades, South led his club four to dummy’s eight.Then he ran the spade jack.Happily, West won with the queen and cashed the diamond ace: one down.So, instead of losing IMPs, our “heroes” won six! South misplayed six clubs.His line gains only when West has specifically nine-doubleton of spades.Ruffing works whenever spades are 3-3 (or East has the doubleton nine-seven and South somehow guesses it).This is five-and-a-half times more likely.The natural reaction after a bad result is to try to get the points back on the next deal.This usually results in more IMPs being lost.Fear the best, not the worst.©1996 by NE A Inc.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER ing in June.The meeting was opened by the president Lou Bryant, with the recital of the Mary Stewart Collect.Salute to the Flag was proudly recited by

Please stop nagging mom about her will Dear Ann Landers: My 55-year-o!d twin brother and I have been very close all our lives.Now, a Saturday, July 13,1996 North 07-13-96 * A 7 6 4 3 V 5 4 * 7 5 4 2 * Q 3 West East * K J 8 2 * Q 1095 » 8 2 V 7 3 • Q J 10 9 486 *985 * K 10 7 6 4 South * - VAKQJ 10 96 ?A K 3 * A J 2 Vulnerable: Both Dealer: South South West North East 2* Pass 24 Pass 3V Pass 3* Pass 44 Pass 4V Pass GV Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: ?Q In by the back door By Phillip Alder Two questions to start today: How should South plan the play in six hearts after West has led the diamond queen?What is the word for a private entrance?South opened with two clubs, strong, artificial and forcing.His jump rebid of three hearts set that suit as trumps and asked his partner to cue-bid.So, three spades showed the spade ace, not necessarily length in the suit.However, when North couldn’t cue-bid a second time, South family matter is threatening our relationship.My brother, "John," and his settled for six hearts.After winning the first trick with the diamond ace, declarer drew trumps and led a low club toward dummy’s queen.However, East won with the king and returned his remaining diamond.On the deluge of winners West made no mistake, knowing South had to be void in spades; otherwise he would have claimed.West won trick 13 with the diamond jack: one down.When the dummy came down, South could see 12 tricks: one spade, seven hearts, two diamonds and two clubs.But to cash the spade ace required a dummy entry.There were two candidates, not only the club queen but also, strange as it seems, a trump.At trick two, declarer should lead the club jack from hand.What does East do?If he wins with the king, the club queen becomes a dummy entry.So, let’s assume he ducks.Now, though, declarer continues with the heart ace, the club ace and a club ruff in the dummy.The spade ace comes back to life and the slam is made.The heart five is a postern, a private entrance to the dummy that would be overlooked by some — but, I hope, not you.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER wife have no children.My wife and I raised two wonderful sons, the only two grandchildren of my recently widowed mother John has learned that my mother has decided to leave equal amounts to her two sons in her will and a small percentage to each of her two grandsons.John says that this is unfair to him and Mom should leave nothing to my children since he had no children.My mother doesn't want to proceed as if my sons didn't exist just because John had no children.My sons adore their grandmother and always have been very close to her.John says any money given to my sons by our mother means he will inherit less.Since he has more money than I do, I can’t understand why he is making such a point of this.He keeps telling my mother that if she leaves money to my sons it will be proof that she loves me more than she loves him and it isn't fair.Tell me, Ann, what should my mother do?How can I get John to stop nagging her about this?It is creating serious conflicts within the family.— R.B., FRESNO, CALIF.DEAR FRESNO: John's argument is totally irrational.I suspect the root of the problem is that you had two fine sons and John didn't have any children.He feels that you have outperformed him, and he wants to get even any way he can.Ann Landers If your mother is of sound mind, she will ignore John's petty, self-serving sniping and proceed with her plan to remember her grandsons in her will.If she is not totally rational, an unbiased family member or friend should enlighten the lawyer who will be handling your mother's estate.Dear Ann Landers: When we married, my wife, who has a degree in business administration, took over all financial responsibility for the two of us, personally as well as for our company.She was vice president, secretary and treasurer.After 11 years of marriage, we relocated.Acouple of years later, she announced she wanted a divorce.It was then that I found out there had been no company tax returns filed, no personal returns filed and no capital gains forms completed.When I asked, "How could this have happened?" she said, "I was busy with other things, and I lost interest.Besides, they will never catch us." While I believe people should pay as little in taxes as possible, I also believe we all should pay what we owe.I have just finished paying a tax bill of $132,000, including interest and penalties.What do you think about this fine kettle of fish?- W.C., NEVADA CITY, CALIF.DEAR W.C.: I think you are the sucker in this "fine kettle of fish." Meanwhile, you have learned a very valuable lesson.It goes like this: Never assume anything -especially where money is involved.In your case, it appears that your wife was not only flaky but inherently dishonest.RS.: This is more evidence that a business degree is no substitute for common sense.Gem of the Day: Don't throw away the old bucket until you have made sure that the new one will hold water.r Please support ^ your local w newspaper!

“Not For Long”.# * * * A few questions for the supporters of the “Radically Canadian” theme adopted by the CFL: • If the game is really “Radi- cally Canadian”, “Not American”, why are there fewer Canadians on the roasters?• If the game is really “Radically Canadian”, “Not American”, why aren’t there any Canadian quarterbacks playing?• If the game is really “Radically Canadian”, “Not American”, will the rule of “no blocking” on punt returns be reinstated?* * * * Bully for Leif Pettersen, TSN’s gridiron greybeard in the booth for blasting Less Browne and Marty York for their crying towel act about the tyrannical behavior of Winnipeg Blue Bombers’ chief pilot Cal Murphy towards his crew.Yes, football is not a democratic sport.You don’t go in the huddle and vote on the next play.We wonder if York’s boss at The Globe and Mail consults him when he plans to hire or fire somebody.Browne should know better.He played for four different CFL teams.DeBoer an easy winner in women’s event Neysmith sets course record at Philipsburg race Moving easily between French and English, starter Ben Lacoste addressed 56 nervous starters assembled in Philipsburg, beside the village green.A gentle lake breeze and 20°C temperatures greeted competitors and spectators, ideal conditions for a fast race.On a nod from founding race director Gordon Renny, the traditional Philipsburg Fire Department escort moved onto the road, and the 11th Pioneer 5k was underway.Although younger, faster, sprinters were present, it was the superbly conditioned 34-year-old Gordon Neysmith who jumped into the lead.Setting a furious pace, he passed the lk marker less than three minutes into the race.Back of the “kids”, a tight group of six masters runners led by Bob Morell and Stan Shatenstein flashed along at 3:30 pace, just ahead of the ageless Hugh Wilson and Johanne DeBoer.At the turn, 7:32 into the race, Neysmith needed only a good challenge to go under 15 minutes.Unfortunately, there was no one close enough to push the long striding veteran.He crossed in 15:10.44, further lowering his own course record of a year ago.Hicham Elamir hustled in for second in 17:15, and Stan Shatenstein broke away from the masters pack to take a strong third in 17:36.Bob Morell set a PR for the race in 17:55 but was 4th 40+ in an extremely fast field.As usual nobody could catch Hugh Wilson.He destroyed the gray haired, 50+, set in 19:31.Murray Reynolds, 19:17, outlasted his young cousins from Clarence-ville, Jason Paradis, 22:31, and Aerobic Sports By Bill Williams Mark Gibson, 20:53.André Buote set a PR of 20:42, while Don Vanhorn took social running honors with a solid 24:43.Johanne DeBoer ran in easily for the woman’s title in 20:15, followed by Sheila Foley, 20:44, and Francine Lanciault, 21:41.60+ leader, Sylvia Weiner, ran a spectacular 25:06.Boys winner in the lk event was Patrick Valliers, 3:32.2, followed by Hector Galbraith, 4:14, and Chris Shaver, 4:39.Veronick Malley led the girls with a time of 3:59.Francey Kaiser was second in 4:28, and Jessica Courchene, third, in 4:34.Alison Montgomery was 4th in 4:35, while Keely White, 7, ran 7:02, to complete her first road race.Vincent Vanhorn was awarded a special medal for completing the distance on roller blades.Chris and Claude West provided the timing and catching functions with great proficiency and France Miclette Lacoste once again kept the registration desk panic to a minimum.Following the awards presentation, picnic baskets galore and fine sunny weather helped to maintain the Pioneer 5k’s reputatation as a great little race!

Jean Perron found a new home earlier this week, but it wasn’t in Quebec City.Perron, who guided the Montreal Canadiens to the Stanley Cup in 1986, will be the first head coach and general manager of the Manitoba Moose.Perron signed a three-year contract with the International Hockey League team which has recently relocated to Winnipeg from Minneapolis.Perron, 49, spent last season as the head coach and general manager of the IHL’s San Francisco Spiders, but that team has suspended operations for the upcoming season.Perron, who is a former assistant general manager of the Quebec Nordiques, was rumored to be heading to Quebec City to coach that city’s new IHL team, the Rafales, but landed in Manitoba instead.But Perron, a native of St-Isi- dore-d’Aukland, is just happy to be coaching in a more hockey-oriented city than San Francisco.“The good weather creates a big problem in San Francisco,” he told reporters.“It’s a great place and everybody wants to live in the Bay Area but it’s not as simple as that,” Perron said.“We had a lot of home games in October and we lost a lot of them because the players had their families and friends visiting then and they lost their concentration.” Still Perron was able to guide the first-year Spiders to a respectable 40-32-10 record.Perron built the Spiders’ squad completely from scrap, picking up some players from other IHL teams and coaxing others back from Europe.The Moose are already in place and Perron is glad for that.“S-tarting over at zero isn’t something I want to do all my life.” Jean Perron is changing IHL teams.“They will be the second-lowest in baseball” - Brochu Expos announce slashing of ticket prices for 1997 season By Bill Beacon MONTREAL (CP) — Having a competitive team wasn’t enough to fill Olympic Stadium, so the Montreal Expos opted Thursday to slash ticket prices in hope of luring in reluctant fans.Claude Brochu, the team’s president and part-owner, said prices on 73 per cent of the stadium’s 46,500 seats will be reduced for the 1997 season in a bid to bring in at least two million spectators.“They will be the second-lowest Claude Brochu.‘The market is price-sensative.’ in all of baseball,” Brochu said.“Only Cincinnati will be slightly less.“We’ve come to realize that ticket prices are very important to our fans.The five dollar days we had this year proved beyond a doubt that the market is price-sensitive.” To lower prices right away would not be fair to the Expos’ 6,000 season-ticket holders, Brochu said.But he expects to have more cut-price promotions for some games in the second half of the season.With the club battling for a National League playoff berth, the Expos expect to draw 1.7 million for the season — up from the 1.3 million that watched a last-place team in 1995 but still among the lowest in the major leagues.The Expos have not drawn more than two million since 1983, when 2.3 million paid to watch.The best seats near the field between first and third base will actually go up slightly next season, but most are sold as season tickets whose holders will bene- fit from free parking.The seats just above them will be reduced from $28 to $20 per seat.On the third level, prices drop from $19 to $10.The upper deck and outfield bleachers will fall to $5 from $11 and $7.To lure corporate clients, the Expos will also offer better miniseason ticket packages.They also asked.the Olympic Installations Board, the provincial body that runs the stadium, for control of the now mostly empty private boxes, which they hope to offer to companies at $500 per game.They will also open a luxury restaurant at the private box level.Brochu said the moves resulted from market studies conducted this season and were aimed at dispelling doubts about the club’s long-term future in Montreal.He said fans perceive the Expos as a farm team for other clubs, developing players only to see them leave as free agents because the Expos lacked the means to pay them.“There will be no more fire Baseball might be back in court NEW YORK (AP) — Baseball owners will go to federal court in one month and attempt to impose their own labor rules on players unless there is a collective bargaining agreement before then, sources told the Associated Press.Bargaining between the sides over the last few months has narrowed the differences, but players and owners failed to meet their informal all-star game deadline for a deal.If owners do go to court, they would ask U.S.District Judge Sonia Sotomayor for permission to declare an impasse in bargaining and implement their latest proposal.That might cause players to respond with another sign- ing freeze and a strike next spring.Sotomayor issued an injunction March 31, 1995, that forced both sides to continue the labor agreement that expired in December 1993.Under the terms of the injunction, which caused players to end their strike after 232 days, owners can’t declare an impasse unless they first get her permission.Management negotiator Randy Levine and union head Donald Fehr, who probably will meet again today, declined comment on the talks.The owners’ decision to set a mid-August deadline was confirmed by several management sources who spoke on the condition they not be iden- sales,” he said, alluding to the departures for financial reasons of star players Marquis Grissom, John Wetteland, Ken Hill and Larry Walker shortly before the 1995 season.Brochu is counting heavily on a tentative agreement between owners on a revenue-sharing plan, which he hopes will allow the Expos to keep some of their star players in the future.The plan has not yet been approved by the players’ association.3' Brochu believes Montreal’s payroll will jump from $15.5 million US this season to about $20 million next year and $25 million in 1998.“Ownership declared its intention to see this through and I’m absolutely confident that this will be done,” Brochu said.tified.While a return to court wouldn’t cause players to strike this year, it might cause a work stoppage next spring, the sport’s ninth since 1972.“There is no way the players’ association can for any appreciable time tolerate imposed conditions,” one union official said, speaking on the condition he not be identified.It appears the sides, like Stanley Kubrick, are concerned about 2001.Players and owners have agreed that a deal would include a luxury tax for the 1997, 1998 and 1999 seasons, but there wouldn’t be a tax in 1996 or 2000.The union wants one additional year with no tax.* Annual Scratch and Dent Sale!
