between an independent Quebec and a renewed Canada, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Thursday.Calling the concept of sovereignty \u2018fuzzy,\u2019 Mulroney maintained that federalism would have no problem taking the day in a referendum with an \u2018intellectually honest\u2019 question.\u2018If it\u2019s a valid question, a responsible question, we'd win it,\u2019 he said on a stop in Quebec City.A referendum is a good, democratic way of letting the population speak, Mulroney said.But he also said he hopes the Quebec vote scheduled for no later than October 26 will not take place.\u2018We

X-rays \u2014 as part of a government plan to cut costs on non-essential medical procedures, Health Minister Marc-Yvan Cote said Thursday.Cote said in an interview that only \u201cunnecessary tests\u201d are being targeted.The committee\u2019s report is expected in several weeks.But some details are outlined in a December 1991 preliminary document reprinted in the newsletter of the Quebec Association of Radiologists.The document, a letter of intent between Cote and medical specialists, says yearly medicare expenses for mammograms must people, Mulroney said.Mulroney was even clearer in a radio interview.\u2018Td really like to avoid the referendum because it would have catastrophic consequences for the growth of Quebec and Canada,\u2019 he told Jean-Fran ois Bertrand, son of the late provincial premier Jean-Jacques Bertrand and a former Parti Qu b - cois cabinet minister turned open-line host.\u2018And it\u2019s the people who are listening, the average Quebe- cers, who would pay the bill.In lively sparring with Bertrand, still a confirmed sove- reigntist, Mulroney ridiculed the vision of a separate Quebec espoused by PQ Leader Jacques Parizeau.\u2018Mr.Parizeau is promising an independent country but with the Canadian currency, Canadian passports, Canadian citizenship, the blessings of the economic union and even the Queen.\u2018Why not just keep Canada?Its much cheaper.\u2019 CAN'T SHOP He added later: \u2018(Parizeau) is so fearful of trying to sell independence that he\u2019s trying to keep all the good stuff about Canada.Well, it doesn\u2019t work

said there could be a 40 per cent reduction in annual breast-cancer deaths if all 630,000 women between 50 and 69 were screened every two years.The council also suggests delaying any systematic screening program, saying mammograms are costly and noting that more information is needed to determine whether X-rays are more beneficial than physical examinations.f O BECORDIGRANL Broadcaster Barbara Frum: Canada loses a leader By Stephen Nicholls TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Canada lost a passionate, probing voice and a familiar face Thursday with the death of broadcast journalist Barbara Frum, who lost a long but private battle with leukemia.Frum, who was 54, died at Toronto General Hospital from complications arising from the chronic leukemia she developed in 1974.Suffering a high fever, she checked into the hospital two weeks ago after wrapping up what turned out to be her last \u201cinterview for CBC-TV\u2019s The Journal.As host of the current affairs show for 10 years, Frum was a nightly presence in more than one million Canadian homes.One of the country\u2019s highest- profile journalists, her mannerisms were so familiar to Canadians they were even the subject of a popular parody by Greg Malone of CBC's CODCO comedy troupe.\u201cShe was the leading broadcast journalist of her generation,\u201d said Robert Fulford, a close friend and former editor of \u2018Because she

leaves her husband Murray, a real estate developer, and three children: David, 31, an editor with the Wall Street Journal; Linda, 29, a writer; and Matthew, 24, of Vancouver.A funeral was planned for today.RISES IN RANKS An ardent gardener and collector of exotic art who took her cherished poodle to work, Frum rose through the ranks of Canadian journalism while raising her family, a situation she once called \u201ca double life \u2014 to work hard and care about your family.\u201d At work, she interviewed the prominent and powerful \u2014 from rock star Paul McCartney to PLO leader Yasser Arafat \u2014 with a style that blended charm and toughness.But she was also deft at dealing with those not used to the limelight.Frum exhibited \u201cthis great talent to represent the audience at large,\u201d said Peter Jennings, Canadian-born anchor of ABC World News Tonight.\u201cOne of her great strengths as a journalist was that she asked the question that her neighbors wanted to have answered,\u201d said Peter Herndorf, recently appointed head of the TV Ontario educational network.Frum\u2019s last interview, earlier this month, was with Mordecai Richler about his controversial new book Oh Canada! Oh Quebec!: Requiem for a Divided Country.Richler said he thought she was running a fever at the time.\u201cI think it was intrepid of her to be there at all.\u201d Friends said Frum didn\u2019t like to talk about the disease she had struggled with for 18 years.She continued to work 13-hour days but occasionally her illness forced her to take time off.\u201cI'm deeply inspired by endurance,\u201d she said in a 1988 interview.\u201cBy people who know that they were born to die and all that matters is how they do in the meantime.\u201d NERVE DAMAGE In addition to her leukemia, Frum\u2019s right arm was semi- paralysed due to nerve damage at birth.Born on Sept.8, 1937, in Niagara Falls, N.Y., Barbara Ros- berg grew up in neighboring Niagara Falls, Ont., where her father owned a department store.She credited her mother with instilling in her respect for others.\u201cI was always treated with respect, from the time I was a little child,\u201d she once said.\u201cMy mother asked me for advice when I was five, so when you're treated that way, you have a different attitude toward other people.\u201d As a student of modern history at the University of Toronto, she met and married Murray Frum.After the births of David and Linda, the couple adopted seven- month-old Matthew.She began her journalism career as a freelance writer and radio commentator and was published in such magazines as Maclean\u2019s, Saturday Night and Chatelaine.But it was her 10-year role as host of CBC Radio\u2019s As It Happens where she gained a reputation as a dogged interviewer.In one infamous encounter, Frum crossed swords with hockey mogul Harold Ballard, who hung up on her after commenting that women don\u2019t belong in broadcasting but rather \u201con their backs.\u201d Prime Minister Brian Mulroney, who'd been on the receiving end of some of Frum\u2019s tough questions, summed up many of her colleagues\u2019 comments Thursday when he called her \u201ca regular part of every Canadian\u2019s life and outlook.\u201cBarbara Frum will be sorely missed and the country will be diminished without her.\u201d 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Friday, March 27, 1992 Yalden: Rights record no better than \u2018mediocre\u2019 By Dianne Rinehart OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The federal government's record on human rights for 1991 was mediocre, says the chief of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.The commission\u2019s annual report, tabled Thursday in Parliament, cited continuing human rights abuses among aboriginals, women, homosexuals, the disabled and the elderly.For instance, the Canadian government came under fire for delaying changes on the military's policies regarding homosexuals.The armed forces deny admittance to known homosexuals while those already in the forces who are found to be gay have no chance for promotion.Many of the recommendations the report made were repeats ot those made in previous years.Looking at the record, \u201cIt\u2019s not an A-plus.it\u2019s mediocre,\u201d chief commissioner Max Yalden said in an interview.Yalden said the Mulroney government's track record on human rights is no worse than that of past governments.But Shelagh Day, former director of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, said the report is proof this government isn\u2019t committed to human rights.\u201cThe Canadian commission is saying certain kinds of things over and over and getting no response,\u201d said Day, who is currently working on a study of the human rights system in Canada.\u201cThis is not a government that\u2019s particularly sympathetic on basic human rights issues.\u201d The commission complained \u2014 as it has in past reports \u2014 that the government has failed to ensure legal equality for homosexuals.He wants amendments to the Human Rights Act to explicitly forbid discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, Justice Minister Kim Campbell said outside the Commons the issue would be dealt with as soon as her department has time.\u201cIt\u2019s not for a lack of people working flat out (that changes have not been made).It\u2019s a very controversial issue.\u201d Last fall the government seemed ready to change the armed forces policy.But at the last minute, it struck a committee to conduct further study of social issues \u2014 including homosexuality \u2014 within the forces.\u201cIt\u2019s been studied to death.It\u2019s time to make a decision, and there is only one civilized decision to be taken,\u201d Yalden told a news conference.Top of the commission\u2019s agenda for the third year in a row \u2014 and listed as \u201cthe most important human rights issue confronting Canada\u201d \u2014 were aboriginal issues.The report commended the government for establishing a royal commission on aboriginal peoples, speeding up land claims and moving to find alternatives to the Indian Act.The report singles out the justice system as particularly disturbing.\u201cThe justice that has been offered to native Canadians by our courts and police forces has been with few exceptions, punitive and alienating in the extreme.\u201d LENGTHY LIST The report also criticized: \" The under-representation of the disabled in \u201cvirtually every industry and every occupational grouping that falls within federal jurisdiction.\u201d \"The Canadian Armed Forces war readiness policy that requires all members to be fit enough for combat, thus preventing the disabled from holding any jobs in the military.\"The failure to ensure visible minorities are fairly represented in the public service, especially in semor management jobs.\" Sex discrimination practised by judges, some of whom \u201cseem wonderfully unaware of the realities faced by Canadian women.\u201d \u2014Sex discrimination in the workplace, where full- time female employees in 1990 earned 67.6 per cent of what their male counterparts earned and sexual harassment was still a problem.\" Failure to live up to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child when more than one million children lived in poverty in 1990.\"Failure to put an end to mandatory retirement.The commission said competence, not age, should determine whether employees are fit for a job.Canada growing more violent \u2014 report By Bruce Cheadle OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Violent crime jumped sharply during the 1980s, but experts remain split on whether Canada is losing its innocence.The rate of violent crime climbed 52 per cent between 1981 and 1990, Statistics Canada reported Thursday.Data in the survey was taken from police records, where it was established that a crime did in fact occur.Sexual assaults increased by 144 per cent, while non-sexual assaults climbed 57 per cent.But the federal agency cloaked the increases in less alarming numbers.\u201cWhile violent crime has the Assault rates on OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Eastern Canada has experienced the greatest increase in crime rates of any region since the early 1960s, says a Statistics Canada study released Thursday.\u201cIncreases in the Criminal Code offence rate over the three decades have generally been higher in the East and lower in the West,\u201d says the study, which tracked crime statistics from 1962 to 1990.There was an exception to the trend during the 1980s, when \u2018Buy my condo\u2019 MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Toronto \u201cinvestment consultant\u201d Raymond Aaron has been barred from selling securities and real estate in Quebec, the provincial securities commission announced on Thursday.And the ruling could have repercussions when he goes to renew his licence with the Ontario Securities Commission, his lawyer said.PM: the greatest increases in Criminal Code offence rates were found in the western provinces.And since 1962, the overall incidence of crime has consistently been highest in western Canada and lowest in the East, with Ontario virtually mirroring national rates as a whole.The rate of violent crime soared nationally by more than 50 per cent during the 1980s while the incidence of property crimes was virtually unchanged, the study says.: After a two-hour hearing \u2014 at which Aaron was not present \u2014 commission president Paul For- tugno ruled that Aaron was in violation of the Quebec Securities Act when he held two free investment seminars at the Dorval Hilton on March 7 and 8.Aaron is not

small proportion of all crime at nine per cent,\u201d said the report.Seventy-seven per cent of all violent crimes in 1990 were nonsexual assaults, and most did not involve a weapon or cause serious injury.Sexual assault and robbery made up 10 per cent The study also found: \" Although all regions experienced an increase in their violent crime rates between 1981 and 1990, the Atlantic region experienced the greatest increase, to 896 violent offences per 100,000 population in 1990 from 510 in 1981.\" The Pacific region experienced the lowest increase in violent crime rate, to 1,453 offences per 100,000 population in 1990 from 1,077 in 1981.\" In the Atlantic and Prairie each of all violent offences.Canada\u2019s rate of violent crime is also significantly below that of the United States.À 1988 Statistics Canada comparison showed 246 violent crimes per 100,000 people in Canada, while the U.S.rate was 667.Don\u2019t let that fool you, warned Irvin Waller, a professor at the the rise all over regions, Newfoundland and Manitoba, respectively, recorded the greatest violent offence rate increases during the 1980s.\" Increases in assault rates, including sexual and non-sexual assaults, were most evident in the Atlantic region and Quebec, although all regions experienced some increase.\" Robbery rates decreased during the 1980s in the East and increased slightly in central and western Canada, with Ontario reporting the greatest increase.University of Ottawa who studies international crime rates.Canada\u2019s violent crime rate is two or three times greater than most European countries and nine times that of Japan, he said.\u201cI think generally in Canada we are far too complacent,\u201d said Waller.\u201cPeople in government seem to think Toronto is going to be an eternally nice, safe city.That's what the people of Detroit thought in the 60s.We have to wake up.\u201d NO ALARM An official with the Canadian Criminal Justice Association argued the numbers aren\u2019t cause for alarm.\u201cThe immediate response for a lot of people is to say: \u2018Oh boy, we've got three numbers more than last year and that\u2019s terrible; \u201d said Réal Jubinville, associate executive director of the association.\u201cBut when you think of all the other factors that are operating \u2014 like the increase in population, urbanization, the increase in poverty \u2014 things remain relatively stable in the crime figures.\u201d The latest survey used police reports to determine the incidence of crimes from 1962 to 1990.The number of offences is not based on charges laid or convictions, but only on a police record that a crime in fact occurred.The survey linked the crime rate to demographic changes and the unemployment rate.\u201cProperty crime and, to a lesser extent, violent crime was found to increase as the proportion of persons looking for work increased,\u201d said the study.In addition, \u201ccrime levels were moderately associated with the proportion of the population aged 15 to 30.\u201d Over three million offences were reported in 1990 \u2014 almost 12 incidents for every 100 Canadians.1s not sound investment advice ble as a

because Buterman and Johnson were offering help with mortgage financing and were treating the condos as investments rather than living units.Buterman and Johnson were, in fact, working for Aaron, and

The Townships The RECORD\u2014Friday, March 27, 1992\u20143 Record East Angus was SHERBROOKE (DH) \u2014 Raw sewage from East Angus residents and paper mill effluent from Cascades Inc.have polluted the Saint Francis River during almost 10 years of talks and studies aimed at curbing the environmental damage caused by the waste.With years of talks and studies completed, it\u2019s now time for Environment Minister Pierre Paradis to act in East Angus, says George Blouin, president of the Estrie chapter of the Association Quebecois des techniques de l\u2019eau (AQTE), a water-protection lobby group with about 1100 members in Quebec.\u201cThe problem is it just seems to be dragging along,\u201d Blouin said Thursday, two days after AQTE Estrie sent a letter asking Paradis to act in East Angus without delay.\u2018OVER AND OVER\u2019 \u201cThey've just been doing studies over and over,\u201d he said in a telephone interview.Blouin applauded Quebec's clean-up efforts which have resulted in sewage treatment for about 125,000 people in the greater Sherbrooke area.But he said the problem posed by about 6000 East Angus residents, and especially Cascades, can\u2019t continue to go unanswered.Blouin said the combined pollution output is almost equal to the amount Sherbrooke once dumped in the river.\u201cYou're talking a little over 100,000 population equivalents,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s almost equivalent to the city of Sherbrooke.\u201d In the meantime a report on the latest environmental solution sits on Paradis\u2019 desk.\u201cI can\u2019t say we've taken a decision in the matter,\u201d Environment Ministry spokeswoman Sylvie Marier said from Quebec Thursday.Marier said a $24-million solution was turned down by Paradis because it was too expensive.The latest answer, with an estimated $17-million price tag, calls for construction of a series of oxygenated lagoons in which bacteria would digest the organi¢ material found in sewage.WHO PAYS WHAT?Marier said talks have reached the point where the ministry, East Angus and Cascades have to decide who pays for what.\u201cWe've reached that stage,\u201d she said.\u201cWe're at: What does the government do now?\u201d A meeting between all three parties is expected in the coming weeks, Marier said.She had no precise date to offer for when a final decision can be expected.Blouin said he would have liked a more precise answer.\u201cI would have liked them to say they're meeting next week,\u201d he said.\u201cA few weeks means what?\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s been on the minister's desk now for several weeks,\u201d Blouin added.Marcel Lamoureaux, environmental projects co-ordinator for Cascades, said an agreement te plan remains on hold between the paper company and the town of East Angus is about - to be signed.\u201cEveryone hopes that it'll be this spring,\u201d Lamoureaux said.Signing the agreement, he said, is only \u201ca formality\u201d.Sewage treatment lagoons could be in operation by next year, although that isn\u2019t certain.\u201cWith some reservations, I'd say by the fall of '93 that it'll be working,\u201d Lamoureaux said.Meanwhile, he pointed out that Cascades continues to meet Environment Quebec standards for effluent discharge, though he conceeds standards are rising.- .School boards criticize adult education budget cuts By Rita Legauit SHERBROOKE \u2014 The Quebec Association of Protestant School Boards is worried about the provincial government's intention to restrict funding for adult education.According to David Daoust, executive director of the QAPSB, the ceiling on spending for adult education could also mean some students will be turned down for training programs.Or, he said, some boards may go over budget and cut elsewhere to make up the difference.\u201cSome boards will have to make the decision if they can S I By Angela Christopher SHERBROOKE \u2014 The estimated 6,000 people in the Eastern Townships who require regular fittings for prostheses (artificial limbs) and ortheses Gérard Bouchard explains the electrical and surpass the budget and how they are going to pay for it,\u201d Daoust said, adding that additional funds may come from those destined for primary and secondary education or from an increase in school taxes.Daoust explained that in the past, there were no limits on budgets for adult education.This year, the government decided to cap the budget at 20 per cent more than was spent last year.That could save the Treasury Board $55 million over the next three years.BAD TIMING But Daoust said the government\u2019s decision to limit access to adult education is badly timed when more adults are going back to school to ride out the recession.He also said that Quebec badly needs better trained workers and that adult education programs are providing workers Quebec industries desperately need to survive.Daoust said that by the year 2000 some 50 per cent of workers will need a high school diploma.Sixty per cent will require a university degree.He said only 64 per cent of high school students graduate and the Education Ministry wants to increase that percentage by three per cent each year until 80 per cent of students complete their secondary education.Primary and secondary schools escaped the Treasury Board axe thanks to efforts by Education Minister Michel Pagé to convince cabinet that education at these levels remains a priority.But Daoust said cutbacks in adult education go against the government's desire to increase the number of trained workers and could seriously harm adult literacy programs.\u201cThis government policy is for handicapped moves (limb supports), or who need frequent wheelchair repairs won't have to trek all the way to Sherbrooke University

of a Wellington Street apartment at 5:50 Thursday morning only to find its suspect sound asleep in bed.QPF spokesman Tom McConnell said the special weapons and tactics team was called in from Montreal to take part in the arrest of Alain Picard, 44, suspected of holding up a Caisse Populaire in Courcelles near Lake Megantic twice this year.McConnell said police suspected Picard, who lived in an apartment above a store at 142 Wellington S., was armed and dangerous.McConnell said he couldn't reveal how much was stolen in the two holdups because the management of Caisse Populaires, who have been victims of numerous recent armed robberies, has a new policy not to tell the press the amounts stolen.The Caisse Populaire in Cour- celles was robbed on Jan.6 and Feb.20.McConnell said the raid by the tactical team from Montreal occurred after an investigation by the QPF major crimes squad.MORE RAIDS McConnell said the QPF decided to take advantage of the SWAT team\u2019s presence to raid the Frontenac Street apartments of two other suspects.At the first apartment, which was unoccupied, police discovered small quantities of cocaine, hashish and marijuana.During the second raid, QPF officers arrested two men in connection with a car theft.The men, aged 23 and 25, were handed over to Sherbrooke Police.The stolen car was discovered in Cartier Blvd.N.took over the service from the hospital.The centre held an open house Thursday to inaugurate the service.LOSING CUSTOMERS The centre\u2019s director, Gilles Servant, said the CHUS, which operated the service within the hospital,

work alongside the Service d\u2019aides techniques by referring amputees and other orthopedic patients to the centre.Nurses, health officials and orthopedic patients attended the day-long event, which

ortheses will be transferred to the centre.totally out of whack,\u201d he said.\u201c- We should be stepping up spending, not cutting back.\u201d PRIORITY Daoust said increases in the budgets for adult education have been reasonable and Quebec must decide if manpower training is a real priority.He said the budget for adult education has increased from $87.2 million in 1987-88 to $188.8 million in 1990-91.At the same time, the number of full and part-time students increased from 90,000 to 137,000.Daoust also said that the cuts will hurt some English school boards who will already be suffe-

since 1897 Editorial High taxes lead to more crime The excessive tax on cigarettes, gas and alcohol are causing an outbreak of crime ranging from grand theft to smuggling a couple of small items across the border.Cigarettes have become the item of choice for many armed robbers and break-in thiefs in the region.No need to wonder why when stealing a mere 50 packs of cigarettes nets a criminal more than $300 worth of easily sold merchandise.There is also a growing problem with criminals smuggling in truckloads of cigarettes from the United Stated, where a pack costs a third of the price of its Canadian equivalent.They may stink, but they're cheaper and the profit margin explains why such crimes are on the increase.While hardened criminals are turning to the theft of cigarettes, there is another trend which is even more disturbing.It\u2019s little crimes carried out by average citizens: the friends who buy cigarettes on the black market; the neighbor who goes on regular shopping sprees in North Conway or Kittery and returns wearing two watches and three layers of clothes; and the numerous cross- border shoppers who travel to Vermont every week to fill their tanks and pick up a bottle of liquor and a couple of packs of cigarettes or tobbaco.As a non-smoker, I have always been the first to applaud additional \u201csin taxes\u201d, especially if it means I won\u2019t get hit with a bigger tax bill.I do however drive a car and find it hard to resist the attraction of gas at $1.16 a gallon U.S.During the recession, when many pocketbooks are suffering from severe cutbacks, cheap gas, cigarettes and liquor are hard to pass up \u2014 especially when they are so easily obtained.The government has hiked taxes so high they actually encourage criminality.Worse yet, as thousands of Quebecers flock to the U.S.to buy cheap cigarette and gas and, while they're there, pick up some cheap dairy products and other groceries, they spend thousands of dollars which are lost to Quebec merchants.That also means a big lôss in taxes for the provincial government.As the provincial government plans its upcoming budget it should keep this in mind.While ministers in the cabinet may be able to afford a two-pack, $12-a-day habit, few taxpayers can.More importantly, Quebec's economy, and merchants in border communities, cannot afford the constant drain of money being spent in New England.RITA LEGAULT No hard cutoff for trial delays \u2014 top court By Bob Cox OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The Supreme Court of Canada has curtailed what's become known as the Askov amnesty \u2014 perhaps the largest reprieve from criminal charges ever in the country.Tens of thousands of charges have been dropped since October 1990 when the court issued a ruling known as Askov \u2014 after defendant Elijah Askov \u2014 saying defendants shouldn\u2019t have to wait longer than six to eight months for a trial.On Thursday, the court issued a decision telling judges to be flexible, to treat the time limits as guidelines, not fixed limits.Lawyers predicted the decision will halt the flood of people accused of crimes who walked free without a trial.More than 51,000 charges were quashed in Ontario alone.Many Crown attorneys and judges dealt with court backlogs simply by staying any charge where the trial delay was more than eight months.The court ruled that trial delays of 14 and a quarter months and 13 months were long \u2014 but acceptable \u2014 in two Ontario cases involving impaired driving.\u201cA guideline is not intended to be applied in a purely mechanical fashion,\u201d Justice John Sopinka wrote in the 6-1 majority ruling.The ruling is really a clarification of the Askov decision, which many in the legal system thought caused chaos because lower courts interpreted it too rigidly, quashing charges ranging from shoplifting to manslaughter.Sopinka provided a guide for judges deciding if someone\u2019s right to a speedy trial has been denied: HEARS CASES \u2014In provincial courts, which hear 95 per cent of cases, the maximum delay should be no more than a year from when someone is charged until the trial is over.No one should have to wait more than six to eight months for o trial after a preliminary hearing.\u2014Deviations of several months from the limits can be justified in certain circumstances.\u2014To determine if a delay is justified, judges should consider the length of delay and reasons for it, including amount of time required to prepare a case, actions of the accused and Crown and limits on institutional resources such as court staff.\u2014Judges also should consider the waiver of any time periods by the accused (for example, if he agreed to wait for a later trial) and whether an accused suffered any prejudice because of a trial delay.Justice Minister Kim Campbell welcomed the ruling, saying she was \u201ccertain that fewer charges will be quashed because of this clarification.\u201d \u201cSome people viewed Askov as an inviolate limitation period; if you went one day past the time frame set forth, a stay had to be granted,\u201d said J.J.Camp, president of the Canadian Bar Association.\u201cThis case makes it very clear that we are talking about guidelines.It spells out in very clear terms the factors to be taken into account and indeed offers a general discretion to the courts to exceed those guidelines in certain circumstances.\u201d Ontario Attorney General Howard Hampton said he wishes the original ruling on trial delays had been as clear as Thursday's decision.\u201cIt would have been helpful, there is no doubt, if the original Askov decision had clearly stated that the principles set out there were principles and were not rigid time lines,\u201d said Hampton.FRET TONY THE

University in Halifax: The Soviet space program was one of the few things that separated the communist U.S.S.R.from totalitarian Third World countries.Now, this one area of undisputed excellence, like other areas of Soviet science, faces a life-and-death struggle.I propose that Canada establish a financial incentive program in space research to Russia as soon as possible.I am not proposing a program that would cost tens of millions of dollars.I expect that, with careful targeting, a few thousand dollars of \u201cbait\u201d money properly placed in the new Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) could accomplish what at other times would have taken tens of thousands of dollars.What the Canadians can get from supporting the Russian space program at this time is incredibly cheap launch opportunities .not only for research satellites, but for communication satellites, weather satellites and environmental monitoring.Is it not better for Canada to buy launch opportunities from the cheapest vendor than to pay more elswhere, yet pour humanitarian aid into the CIS instead?This so-called humanitarian aid is essential but does nothing to build the CIS\u2019s economy in the long run, not to mention the individual pride of the people.From What Canada Thinks \u2014 a regular feature of The Canadian Press UV: Does the shirt By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Never mind the sunscreen, what's the sun protection rating on that T-shirt?The federal government should.consider rating hats, shirts and other summer clothing to indicate .their effectiveness in blocking harmful ultraviolet solar radiation, a conference of about 50 experts agreed Thursday.\u201cWe're at least asking the government to look at these issues,\u201d said Richard Gallagher, chief of the epidemiology department at the B.C.Cancer Society.Many sunscreens now are rated for their effectiveness in preventing sunburns.A solar protection factor of 15 means that using the product allows one to stay in the sun 15 times longer without burning than could be done otherwise.The experts agreed that people should use sunscreens with a number of at leasti15.;0-0 7 wut Diva + The solar:protection factoraf an average T-shirt is.about five, says : the Canadian Dermatology Association.That means a substantial amount of harmful radiation penetrates the shirt.T-shirts with a solar protection factor of 36, made of tightly-woven material, are now available in the United States.The solar protection factor of a hat would depend largely on the width of the brim.Although clothing is important, the participants at the conference agreed that the best defence against ultraviolet rays is to reduce overall sun exposure, especially during peak midday periods.Sunscreen is the last line of defence, because most people don't \u2018put on enough, it can wash off while swimming, and many sunscreen \u2018products.don\u2019t adequately screen ultraviolet-A rays, they agreed.It was noted that an ingredient known as Parsol 1789 is the most effective agent for blocking UV-A rays.Conference participants said only two 15-numbered sunscreens contain it: Ombrelle and Photoplex.Higher-numbered sunscreens tend to be more expensive.Ultraviolet-A rays don\u2019t burn the skin rapidly, but they cause aging and wrinkling and promote cancer.There was unanimous agreement that current ozone depletion will lead to higher levels of dangerous ultraviolet radiation in coming years.Such radiation can cause skin cancer, cataracts and damage to the immune system.Among the recommendations, that will be made to the federal Health Department: .\u2014There should be more shade in public places, especially playgrounds.\u2014The public should be educated in the early detection of skin cancer.\u2014Ultraviolet-blocking sunglasses should be worn.A rating system for them should be established.\u2014Regulations governing sunscreen formulation, testing and labelling should be reviewed and revised.U.S.considers releasing more JFK WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Members of both houses of the U.S.Congress proposed legislation Thursday to authorize the release of secret documents into the assassination of former U.S.president John F.Kennedy.The bill applies to material held by the CIA and the FBI and includes a recommendation that the successor agency to the Soviet KGB release what it has.While a vast store of information is already available to the public, the legislation would likely add hundreds of thousands of pages to the record.\u201cI do not know what all of these files contain,\u201d said Senator David Boren, (D-Okla.), chairman of the Senate intelligence committee and co-author of the bill.\u201cBut it seems to me the time has come to open these files to the public and let them speak for themselves.\u201d The proposal establishes a citizen review board that would decide on the release of documents and could keep material secret for national security or privacy reasons.In cases of CIA, FBI or other executive branch material, the president could veto a proposal by the board to release documents.Many experts on the Nov.22, 1963, Kennedy assassination say they doubt the secret records contain any \u201csmoking gun\u201d revelation about the existence of any conspiracy to kill Kennedy.Some researchers and authors who have spent years examining the case are anxious to see certain .items \u2014 particularly any government records of a trip taken by Lee Harvey Oswald to Mexico City shortly before the assassination.documents The Warren Commission that investigated the Kennedy assassination named Oswald as the sole killer.Assassination experts say the Mexico City trip, in which Oswald met with officials at the Cuban Embassy, could shed new light on theories that Oswald either acted as part of a conspiracy or was set up as a fall guy in the assassination.Other records of interest to researchers might expand information on Oswald's contacts with U.S.government intelligence agencies.Did id you know.By The Canadian Press Some facts and figures from Canada and around the world: Amount Americans spend each year on potato chips: $3.6

Associated Press Abortion stands alone from other moral struggles over issues such as the acceptability of homosexuality or premarital sex that have caused furors in many churches in recent years.There is no clear biblical commandment that thou shalt not commit abortion.So when a special committee of ie Presbyterian Church (U.S.A) developed a statement on abortion with the understanding that the Holy Scriptures are the ultimate authority for faith and practice, it faced a daunting task.In a Solomon-like decision that may satisfy neither side in the abortion debate, the Presbyterian committee ended up offering two biblical approaches: one affirming that \u201cthe unborn child is human life, created for a purpose and belonging to God\u201d; the other declaring that God leaves clear realm for human decision-making within which \u201cthe difficult choice of abortion can arise.\u201d GOD INVOLVED The report points out that there are several passages in the Bible indicating God\u2019s involvement with humanity in the womb.In Chapter 31 of the Book of Job, Job says, \u201cDid not he who made me in the womb make them?And did not one fashion us in the womb?\u201d Psalm 131 praises God for \u201cThou didst knit me in my mother\u2019s womb.\u201d In the beginning of Luke, an angel says that John the Baptist \u201cwill be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother\u2019s womb.\u201d Similarly, Paul said in the Letter to the Galatians that he was called before he was born to be a preacher to the Gentiles, and Jeremiah says he was told by the Lord that \u201cbefore I formed you in the womb .I appointed you a prophet to the nations.\u201d From these passages and others indicating God\u2019s involvement in creation and God's dominion over human life, some interpreters say the Bible has much to say in opposition to abortion.\u201cThe affirmation of biblical faith is that this life belongs to God, and he is Lord over it,\u201d said Elizabeth Achtemeir, a committee member and adjunct professor of Bible and homiletics at Union Theological Seminary in Richmond, Va.HUMAN FLAWS But other interpreters stress biblical passages emphasizing the importance of human responsibility even as it involved the Virgin Birth, when Mary's consent is recorded in Luke: \u201cLet it be with me according to your word.\u201d For these interpreters, the presence of genetic deformities, miscarriages, and even conception as a result of rape makes it difficult to claim that God intended every pregnancy.\u201cWe live in a flawed universe,\u201d said Rev.Howard Rice, chairman of the Presbyterian special committee and a professor of ministry at San Francisco Theological Seminary.\u201cWe have to do the best we can in the world we live in.And that means making tough choices.\u201d Rice said the report takes the church\u2019s constituency seriously in that, unlike past documents stridently favoring one stand, \u201cthis report actually acknowledges that it's possible to be a Christian and have two different positions.\u201d But it is unlikely to preclude spirited discussion when the Presbyterian General Assemhly meets in Milwaukee in June.Achtemeir, who helped write a minority report taking a stronger stand against abortion, faults the majority report for lacking \u201cultimate truth.\u201d \u201cWe are all sinful, so our decision-making is always bent by our sinfulness,\u201d she said.\u201cYou get something like abortion and the rationalizations take over, and we decide we're the lords of life and death.\u201d David Briggs has an MA from Yale Divinity School.rd ® 4 na PA LL Sweet Crisis: President quits as federation nears bankruptcy By Steve Meurice SHERBROOKE \u2014 Staggering under a $39-million debt, saddled with a 30-million pound surplus it can\u2019t get rid of, and without a president since he resigned Monday, the two- year-old federation of Quebec maple producers may be on its last legs.Leo-Paul Desaulniers, elected president of the Federation des producteurs acericoles du Quebec last September, resigned Monday, saying the provincial farmers union, L\u2019Union des producteurs agricoles (UPA) had effectively taken control of the federation.\u201cIn January we had some personnel problems, and we asked the UPA for help,\u201d Desaul- niers said in a telephone interview from Beloeil Wednesday.\u201cProgressively the help became a veritable occupation.\u201d \u201cIt came to a point where it would be dishonest for me to tell the producers I was president when in reality I wasn\u2019t.\u201d Desaulniers\u2019 resignation came at a time when the federation\u2019s main creditor, the Federation des caisses populaires, is increasing pressure on the maple producers\u2019 federation to deal with its debt problem.Desaulniers said the credit union threatened last week to seize the federation\u2019s assets, meaning the surplus syrup, but backed off at the last minute.MEETINGS Meetings have been taking place all week between the federation, the credit union and Agriculture Canada to find a way of solving the debt problem.Simon Thiboutot, director of the policy branch at Agriculture Canada, said the department is working to keep the federation alive.But he said the federal government, which has provided millions of dollars in loan guarantees to the federation, won't get involved in a bailout.\u201cWe have no business taking care of that surplus and that industry,\u201d Thiboutot said Thursday from Ottawa.Whatever decision is made will have repercussions on the whole industry.The surplus, built up over the past three years, has buyers and producers of bulk syrup in a virtual panic.Buyers are worried the federation, desperate for cash to keep itself alive, will dump the surplus on the market after they have bought from the \u201992 crop.That would send the price of syrup plummeting and leave the market wide open for American buyers.\u201cI know I'll go out of business if the Americans get that surplus cheap,\u201d said Gary Coppola, president of Shady Maple Farms in the Beauce town of La Guadeloupe.His company, which is owned by Heinz, buys about six million pounds of syrup a year, making Coppola the biggest buyer in the province.NO CHANCES Many buyers, including Coppola, have decided not to take any chances and are buying syrup week by week, without RECORD/GRANT SIMEON making any commitments to the producers who regularly supply them.The sugarmakers have already seen the price of syrup drop from nearly $3 a pound in early '88 to less than $1.50 a pound now.They are worried the price will go even lower.Some in the industry predict the price could fall to around $1.20 a pound this year.A bitter fight between the buyers and the federation, over what powers the federation should have in the industry, has thwarted all attempts to reach me pe EN \\ Michael Herman bought this an agreement on gradually depleting the surplus.Hostility between the federation and many of the buyers has reached a point where few think an agreement is possible.Without such an agreement, it is unlikely the federation will be able to sell enough of the surplus to stay alive, unless it dumps it on the Americans.While it isn\u2019t surprising that buyers, many of whom consider the federation their biggest enemy, would like to see it disappear, lately even some producers say they have had expensive new boiler in the hope of boosting production.But uncertainty in the ugh of it.$10,000 each, said they would be The RECORD\u2014Friday, March 27, 1992\u20145 Thousands of farmers who sold syrup to the federation in 1990 and '91 have still not received full payment.Indeed the federation has said they shoul- dn\u2019t expect any more money.Some of them are left with losses in the tens of thousands of dollars.GO PUBLIC Last week two sugarmakers from the Granby area went public with their complaints and called for the federation to close up shop.The two, who said the federation owes them more than better off dealing directly with: the independent buyers, who pay cash on the spot.: Dave Hall, a Bromont farmer and syrup producer, never did sell any syrup to the federation.He thinks the principle of a syrup bank for slow years is a good idea, but he said the federation went about it the wrong way.\u201cThere\u2019s no real culprit.People had some good ideas that got out of control,\u201d Hall said.He said most producers in the Eastern Townships have always a preferred selling directly to me buyers, even though that meant © no guaranteed price.\u201cWe\u2019d have good years and bad years, and you'd live with it.\u201d Former president Desaulniers agrees that the federation\u2019s credibility among members has À suffered.\u201cYou can make all the speeches and calls for solidarity among producers that you want, but if you can\u2019t pay them it\u2019s worth nothing,\u201d he said.\u201cI would be lying if I said I was optimistic\u201d about the federation's future, he said.Sylvain Dufour, head of sales and marketing for the maple ka federation, admits that it is business has forced him to put those plans on hold, so the machine sits unused in a corner of the plant.facing a crisis.But he said the situation will be worse for maple producers if it goes belly up.\u201cSomebody has to take responsibility and manage the surplus properly,\u201d Dufour said at his office in Longueuil Wednesday.\u201cIf there isn\u2019t an organization to manage it there will be a return to the distortions and anarchy of the past.\u201d Ex-president admits \u2018doubtful\u2019 selling ways SHERBROOKE \u2014 The four years since 1988, when the current problems in the maple syrup .world first surfaced, have been an almost continuous battle for control and power in the $70-million a year industry.Buyers direct a litany of complaints and accusations at the provincial sugarmakers federation, the UPA and the federal government.The federation and UPA respond in kind and deny the accusations.The federal government says its sick of the whole mess and tells everyone else to get their act together.The main charge from buyers is that the federation, empowered to run a limited marketing board after a vote by farmers in late 1989, went on a power grab and wanted to control virtually all aspects of the business.In the process, some buyers say, the federation played favorites with certain buyers, used its surplus to threaten uncooperative buyers, and'stole their - markets by selling syrup directly to American competitors at lower prices.FAVORED Two major buyers, Shady Maples president Gary Coppola and Turkey Hill Sugarbush owner Michael Herman, say the Plessiville maple syrup Co-op and Beaudry Maple Products in Sherbrooke were given preferential treatment by the federation.For example, Coppola says that in 1990 he went to the federation to buy some dark syrup, which was in short supply that year.He says he was told the syrup would soon be offered to all buyers.A month later, he says, t the federation told him it had sold all the dark syrup to the Co- 0 p.He was told the Co-op got.the.- syrup becauseit had signed athe contract whieh\u2019 tegulates the\u201d industry \u2014 which Coppola had refused to sign.But weeks later, a small buyer from the Beauce had a producer from the Bas St-Laurent region approach the federation for dark syrup.That producer was the former head of the maple producers association in that region, an association that strongly supported the federation.He was sold 250,000 pounds of dark syrup, Coppola says, although he wasn\u2019t a registered buyer.\u201cThe federation continuously supported the Co-op and Beau- dry, the two most inefficient operations in the business,\u201d Coppola said at his home in La Guadeloupe.\u2018DOUBTFUL\u2019 Léo-Paul Desaulniers, president of the federation from last \u2018September until he resigned Monday, gives some credence to the notion that certain buyers were favored over others, although he denies anybody received specific favors.\u201cThe ones that really counted were the Co-op and Beaudry.The others were treated by some people in the federation with a certain contempt,\u201d Desaulniers said.\u201cBut (the Co-op and Beau- dry) didn\u2019t really get advantages.They were just treated like they were more important.\u201d Buyers also maintain that the federation has continuously threatened to dump the surplus in the U.S.unless they agreed to sign the contract, which gives broad powers to the federation.Infact the federation has already dumped \u2014 over two million pounds in the U.S last year, Canadian buyers say.oo \u201cThey sold it to aur competi: LIAL tors and our customers in the U.S.for halfthe price it was going for here and they didn\u2019t offer it to us first,\u201d says Coppola.\u201cI call that an illegal sale,\u201d he said.Herman, of Brome Lake, says the syrup was in fact sold to one of his main customers, costing him a fifth of his bulk market.Sylvain Dufour of the federation maintains the syrup was offered to the Canadian buyers and they didn\u2019t want it.He also calls allegations that the federation has threatened dumping \u201c- pure demagogy.\u201d Dave McClure, head of McClure Honey and Maple in Littleton, New Hampshire, said ser the current 30 million pound Quebec surplus has many Americans concerned as well.ve \u201cIt causes a lot of uncertainty in the industry,\u201d he.said.\u201c7 CHE

EE Read: GALATIANS 5:16-26 A red fox squirrel eyed the ear of dried corn Cecil Whited had attached to a tree trunk.It was irresistible.So he pounced on his dinner and began eating.As Cecil watched, old \u201cRed\u201d ate row upon row right down to the last kernel.Many days and many corncobs later, he had become very fat.One day Cecil found this corn-fed rodent dead under the tree.He figured \u201cRed\u201d had gotten so heavy that he fell from a high limb.Overindulging can be a human problem too, but food isn\u2019t our only downfall.The dried corn that destroys us may be such addicting substances as alcohol and tobacco.Or such innocent-sounding Like ugly, OVEREATING But the fruit of the Spirit is .self-control.\u2014 Galatians 5:22,23 activities as hobbies, sports, and work.Our problem comes when we lose self- control.To subtract an addiction from our lives, we must understand two things: 1.We are united with Christ in His death to sin and resurrection to new life (Rom.6:5-7).2.God is at work in us (Phil.2:13).We must then put faith to work.Here's how: Admit we are helpless, confess our habit as sin, become accountable to another Christian, pray, and rely on God.Confession, accountability, prayer, God\u2019s Word, and dependence on Christ make up rich soil in which the fruit ot self-control can grow.\u2014 D.J.D.Bad habits form and soon take root deadly

RECORD\u2014Friday, March 27, 1992 Sports The Atlantic Salmon Federation has succeeded in convincing Federal Fisheries Minister J John Crosbie to place a five- 1 year moratorium on commercial fishing of Atlantic salmon | off the Newfoundland coast.The minister realized the salmon\u2019s survival was in dan- | ger because of the over-fishing by fishermen in that province.For more than 40 years the Atlantic Salmon Federation has tried to pressure the minister to put an end to this ever- deteriorating situation.However, till now, the minister didn\u2019t seem convinced of the seriousness of the problem.A few years ago commercial +} salmon fishing was banned off \u2018I Nova Scotia, Prince Edward : Island, New Brunswick and Quebec, with the exception of the Lower North Shore.The ban was intended to remedy the decrease in salmon reaching their spawning grounde upriver.Of all the salmon caught by Newfoundland fishermen before the ban, 80 per cent never reached their spawning grounds to reproduce because with most of the rivers being in Quebec or New Brunswick.In 1991, there were about 2,500 permit-holders for commercial fishing in Newfoundland, who caught about 433 tons of salmon.From now on, commercial «| salmon fishing in Newfoun- \u2018| dland will be allowed only off \u201c| the Labrador coast and Que- ;| becs Lower North Shore.Fis- :j hermen affected by the moratorium will be able to sell their permits back to the governments of Canada and Newfoundland for around $40 million.The federal government will cover 70 per cent of the buy-back cost.The provincial government will kick in the additional 30 per cent.There's no doubt that with the ban on salmon fishing off «| Newfoundland, the situation «| will improve over the next few years.The decision will please .anyone who is concerned about the survival of Atlantic salmon stocks.| NEW SALMON ZECS Quebec fisheries minister Gaston Blackburn is planning to created four new ZECs (zones d\u2019exploitation controlle) for salmon fishing this year.The former wildlife reserves will now allow controlled salmon fishing.\u2018ve ever a.Atlantic salmon in a home pool in the St.Jean River.Atlantic Salmon get temporary reprieve Great outdoors By REAL HEBERT \u2014 The new fishing zones created will be the Cap Chat River ZEC, the Matane River ZEC, the Madeleine River ZEC and the small Cascapedia River ZEC.Their creation will signal clearly the ministry\u2019s intention of involving partners in the management of wildlife resources.In effect, with cooperation being at the heart of the minister\u2019s efforts, all the areas will be administered as mixed- management ZECs.This new format, the first application of which was the management of Jacques- Cartier Park, allows organizations to join with representatives of the ZEC members to favor economic development of areas in relation to their wildlife potential.SPORTSMAN SHOW Everyone interested in outdoor activities are invited to visit the Sportsman\u2019s Show being held between April 1 and 5 at Montreal's Place Bonaventure.Every year snce 1948, thousands of outdoor enthusiasts have participated in the event, by visiting the many booths that show equipment for camping, hunting, fishing, all sorts of recreational vehicles, fishing boats, and other watercraft, and even outdoor-activity clothing.Also, many hunting and fishing outfitters will be on hand to offer their services.Its a real must-see.Tyson sentenced to SIX years INDIANAPOLIS (AP) \u2014 Mike Tyson was sentenced to six years in prison Thursday for raping a teenage beauty queen.\u201cSomething needs to be done \u2018 about the attitude you displayed here,\u201dsaid Superior Court Judge .Patricia Gifford, in handing * down the sentence.She said the - term was warranted because she .believes Tyson was at risk to ; rape again.She denied his petition for * bail, meaning he will go straight to prison pending the appeal his lawyers have promised to pur- | sue.As soon as Gifford denied that \u2019 request, Tyson removed a watch - from his left wrist and his tie-pin .as he stood up.2nd handed them .to Vincent Fuller, his lawyer.He \" appeared calm.He turned and embraced Camille Ewald, the New York in prison woman who raised him, and was then led from the courtroom by five sheriff's deputies.The judge sentenced Tyson to 10 years on three counts, then suspended four years of the 10-year sentences.She then ruled the six-year sentences would run concurrently.She also fined him $10,000 US on each count for a total of $30,000 \u2014 the maximum fine.Gifford also ordered Tyson to serve four years\u2019 probation after serving the time and get psychotherapy during that period.Tyson was sentenced for his Feb.10 convictions on charges that he committed rape and criminal deviate conduct against a teenage beauty pageant contestant last summer.A prosecutor recommended an eight-to-10-year sentence.NHL talks slow down as deadline nears By Alan Adams TORONTO (CP) \u2014 NHL contract talks slowed significantly Thursday and league president John Ziegler put a Saturday night \u201cpractical\u201d deadline in reaching an agreement.The NHL Players Association has set a strike deadline of noon Monday for replacing the basic agreement that expired last Sept.15.\u201cI think the next 24 to 36 hours will really show if that is achieveable,\u201d Ziegler said following 9 12 hours of talks Thursday, the third day in a row the two sides have met.But, Ziegler noted, the board of governors has scheduled a meeting Sunday in Chicago and attendance is mandatory.He said the owners attending the contract talks here will leave Sunday for the Chicago meeting, regardless of the status of the negotiations.\u201cI don\u2019t think I can call it a deadline \u2014 it\u2019s a practical one,\u201d said Ziegler.\u201cIf we don\u2019t have an agreement and with a strike called for Monday, we have to Players nuts to strike \u2014 Oldtimers.Milt Schmidt picks up a phone at Boston Garden, still his hockey haven 56 years after breaking into the National Hockey League with the Bruins.He's fighting laryngitis, and losing.And he\u2019s worried that hockey will lose if the NHL Players\u2019 Association doesn\u2019t back down on its demands in negotiations for a new collective bargaining agreement.\u201cThey're going to be a sorry crew,\u201d rasps Schmidt, 74.\u201cThey're going to hurt themselves and the game, and they don\u2019t know it.\u201cThey've got to be sure they don\u2019t threaten the game.\u201d Schmidt played 19 seasons with the Bruins, four as the club's captain, and served as a co-coach in 1954-55, his final season.His sweater, No.15, has been retired.Schmidt became Boston's full- time coach in 1955-56, staying on for six full seasons.However, Schmidt returned behind the Bruins\u2019 bench late in the 1962-63 season and remained until after the 1965-66 campaign before becoming Boston\u2019s general manager in 1967.Schmidt was replaced by Har- Sakic cringes at By Robert Laflamme QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Four years without being in a playoff game is too much for Joe Sakic.\u201cYou never get used to missing the playoffs,\u201d said the Quebec Nordiques centre, who cringes at the mention of it.\u2018And it\u2019s more frustrating this season because we were picked to do well.\u2018I just hope it comes next year.The Nordiques were eliminated from the Adams Division playoffs on Tuesday despite a 5-2 win over the Minnesota North Stars.À victory by the fourth- place Hartford Whalers over Washington the same night ended Quebec\u2019s hopes.It will be the fifth consecutive early vacation for the Nordiques, who tumbled into the Adams basement in 1987-88 after six have our management and our ownership know what to do when the players strike.\u201d Bob Goodenow, executive director of the players\u2019 union, was not optimistic following the day\u2019s session.\u201cThe progress was not of any significant nature,\u201d he said.\u201cI would have to say the overall direction and mood was a little bit different than the previous two

little to 46 points last season.That Quebec had already amassed 47 points going into Thursday nights home game against the Chicago Blackhawks was something positive to take into the long summer.\u2018Its been fun in the past month; said Sakic of the Nordiques\u2019 longest playoff race in recent years.\u2018We didn\u2019t give up.\u2019 On a personal level, Sakic still leads the team in scoring with 23 goals and 55 assists but will probably fail to reach the 100-point mark for the first time in three seasons.Quebec rink gets VERNON, B.C.(CP) \u2014 Skip Michel Ferland and his Quebec rink will enjoy semifinal action from the stands Friday.- Ferland received an automatic bye into the men\u2019s final at the Canadian junior curling chai pionships when his fourso1 defeated Manitoba's Tre McFadyen 3-2 in an extra end during 10th round action Thursday.The win moved Quebec to 9-1 in the men\u2019s standings and guaranteed them first place in the round-robin portion of the

sidetracked.\u201cI would say things are where they were two days ago in terms of the big issues.\u201d Added Ziegler, \u201cIn respect to the bigger issues, we had some helpful discussion and discussion that was absolutely necessary and that you had to get to.We dealt with a lot of philosophy, the state of the business.\u201d Ziegler was asked that given the time frame, was there sufficient time to reach a settlement.\u201cIf we continued the current pace it might be difficult,\u201d he said.The main question appears to be the NHL>s financial health.The owners say they stand

additional pension payments, the reduction of the draft to six rounds from 12 and an increase of $10 million a year to the existing pool of $3.2 million in playoff bonuses.The owners have offered a slight change to free agency, just under $2 million a year in extra pension payments, a 10-round draft and a $7-million-a-year increase in playoff bonuses.While the NHL has abandoned its idea of using replacement players in the event of a strike, the league has asked its member teams to inquire about scheduling playoff dates in mid to late June.The playoffs are scheduled to begin April 8 and could continue until June 4.A strike would delay the start of playoffs, which in turn would result in a later finish.That could possibly put the NHL's Entry Draft in jeopardy as this year\u2019s event is

i CEGEP All-Stars invade Forum By Shawn Apel SHERBROOKE \u2014 There will be a big basketball game at the Montreal Forum Saturday night.And the Harlem Globetrotters are playing there too.At least that\u2019s what Cougars head coach Don Caldwell has been saying lately.Well, yes, the Globetrotters are probably the most famous team on earth.And they always put on an incredibly entertaining show.But Caldwell's view of things is understandable.He'll be behind the bench, before the Globetrotters game, as Quebec's men\u2019s CEGEP All-Stars play the province's university champs, the Concordia Stingers.The game is designed to showcase the best basketball Quebec schools have to offer.In what are firsts for the province, the women\u2019s CEGEP All- Stars take to the floor at 4 p.m.against Laval University, followed by the men at 6.Caldwell \u2014 who got the coaching honor after being named Quebec CEGEP coach of the year \u2014 will have Cougars Chris Cain and Cam Burns playing for him.Lori Gear and Sonia Lessard of Champlain will be on the women\u2019s all-star team.The all-star games are a great opportunity for Quebec CEGEP students to strut their stuff, Caldwell says.And the players are up for the event.\u201cOh, they really want to play.They look forward to practising with the same people RECORD/GRANT SIMEON they've been playing against all season.\u201d The

of things involved.\u201d Still, Caldwell says the matches are an exciting opportunity for the students.The match-up \u2014 CEGEP All- Stars versus university champs \u2014 came about quickly and could change in the future, according * to Bob Cormeau Jr, director- general ofthe Quebec Basketball Federation.\u201cWe know the universities will be better prepared,\u201d he said.\u201cReally, the score\u2019s not too important.\u201d \u201cUniversity scouts will come down from all over.It's a chance to give the CEGEP kids a chance : to measure up.\u201d Players like six-foot-eight À Bayonne Taty of Montmorency, and Sammy Mendolia of Dawson will be the CEGEP stars to watch, in addition to Lennoxvil- le\u2019s favorites, Comeau says.The Globetrotters game \u2014 against the underdog Boston Shamrocks \u2014 is set for 8 p.m.Maybe Caldwell is right in his description of the games.The CEGEP games will offer the best players in Quebec\u2019s school system.As for the Boston Shamrocks, they've never beat the Globetrotters.Tickets are $19.50, $16.50, and $12.50 and are available right up until game time at the Forum or Admission outlets, or call 1-800-361-4595.City to get semi-pro basketball team?SHERBROOKE (SA)\u2014 Canada could have a new semiprofessional basketball league this November, and Sherbrooke is on a list of interested cities, according to the director- general of the Quebec Basketball Federation.The Canadian Professional Basketball League would have teamsin-eight cities, four in the West and four in Eastern Canada, Bob Comeau, Jr.said Thursday from Montreal.\u201cThere is definitely some interest,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s surprising, there\u2019s more than I thought, actually.\u201d Organizers should have a better idea in two to three weeks of whether the November-to-April league will fly, Comeau said.There have been inquiries about a Sherbrooke team, he- said, and he finds the idea interesting.\u201cThe more I think about it, in a city without junior hockey, maybe it makes sense.\u201d Comeau did not reveal the prospective owners of a Sherbrooke team, or the interested parties in Montreal.Each team would have 10 players \u2014 five Americans and five Canadians \u2014 playing a 60-game schedule.The league would give the best Canadian players, such as graduates of the national team or university stars, a chance to \u201cplay some more, and see how far they could go,\u201d Comeau said.The break-even point for teams would be around 2,000 to 3,000 fans per game, Comeau said, adding that such numbers seem within reach as basketball grows in popularity in the province.The salary for players would be in the $15,000 to $25,000 range, and they would probably have to have other jobs, he said.Goulet lifts Chicago over Nords in OT QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Michel Goulet completed a pretty passing play for a power-play goal with 35 seconds to play in overtime, lifting the Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-4 NHL victory over the Quebec Nordiques on Thursday night.Defenceman Chris Chelios engineered the play, bursting in from the blue line and slipping the puck to Dirk Graham, parked at the side of Quebec goaltender Stephane Fiset.Graham promptly feathered a pass to Goulet, who was faced with an empty net.Nordiques defenceman Craig Wolanin was in the penalty box at the time, serving the second of two straight penalties the Nordiques were assessed in overtime.Graham, pouncing on an errant pass by Quebec defence- man Steven Finn, had tied the score at 11:53 of the third period.The goal came only 41 seconds after Valeri Kamensky had moved Quebec into the lead, completing a rally from a 3-0 deficit.Finn's slap shot through the legs of Ed Belfour, the screened Blackhawks goaltender, had pulled the Nordiques into a tie at 8:41.; But Finn handed a goal to the Blackhawks when he passed blindly from the centre of the left face-off circle.Graham intercepted the puck, went in alone on goaltender Stephane Fiset and scored on a wrist shot.Devils 4 Bruins 2 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.(AP) \u2014 Martin Brodeur, called up from junior hockey on an emergency basis, stopped 24 shots in his NHL debut and the New Jersey Devils clinched a playoff berth with a 4-2 victory Thursday night over the Boston Bruins.Randy McKay scored a goal and set up Claude Lemieux\u2019s 40th of the season to support the 19-year-old Brodeur.Claude Vil- grain had assists on the first two New Jersey goals.The victory was the second straight for New Jersey, which just ended an eight-game win- less streak Tuesday.That was the day Brodeur was recalled from St-Hyacinthe of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League to fill in for an injured Chris Terre- ri, who had a strained back.Brodeur, who had a 27-16-4 record in juniors, was not in the lineup Tuesday.However, the Devils\u2019 No.1 choice in the 1990 draft got the call Thursday and he was spectacular in shutting out the Bruins for the opening 48 minutes 38 seconds.He stopped 37-goal scorer Vladimir Ruzicka several times in close in that span before Canadian Olympian Joe Juneau backhanded a rebound past him on the Bruins\u2019 23rd shot.By then New Jersey was ahead 3-0 and playing well despite having seven rookies in the lineup, including four who had played less than four NHL games.McKay, Vilgrain and Scott Stevens combined and collided on the first goal at 15:10 of the first period, as Bruins defence- man Ray Bourque played without a stick.Vilgrain made the big move by side-stepping a check near the Boston blue line and sliding a pass that hit Stevens in the skates.The puck went to McKay, who deflected it into the net just seconds before butting heads with Stevens.Islanders 7 Sharks 4 UNIONDALE, N.Y.(AP) \u2014 Derek King\u2019s goal 35 seconds into the second period triggered a three-goal outburst that carried the New York Islanders to a 7-4 victory Thursday night over the San Jose Sharks.King scored his 38th goal of the season, but only his fifth in his last 23 games, by flipping Pierre Turgeon\u2019s pass from the right corner over the right arm of goaie Jarmo Myllys to break a 2-2 tie.Trailing 5-2 entering the third period, San Jose made the game close on unassisted goals by Neil Wilkinson and Pat MacLeod, but Ray Ferraro\u2019s power-play goal at 13:42 assured the Islanders of their first win in five games.Jeff Finley scored his first NHL goal into an empty net with nine seconds remaining.The victory moved the Islanders into fifth place in the Patrick Division with 72 points, one ahead of Philadelphia.mas .Pitts 3530 9318284 79

memories of past Canadiens teams.While the former Canadiens who took part in the game starred during the 1960\u2019s, *70s and '\u201980s, the most famous Montreal teams took to the ice during the late 1950\u2019s.Sportscard Scoop By Dan Heimlich From 1965 to 1960, the Canadiens won five consecutive Stanley Cups.This record has yet to be matched, although the 1976-1979 Canadiens and the '80-'83 Islanders each won four straight NHL championships.Let's take a look at the first card appearnces of the key members of the great Montreal dynasty of the late 1950s.The heart and soul of the Canadiens during the \u201950s was Maurice \u2018The Rocket\u2019 Richard, the team\u2019s all-time leading goal-scorer.Perhaps the most intense hockey player ever, Richard was the first to score 50 goals in 50 games.His rookie card apears in the 1951-52 Parkhurst set, and is valued at $1200.Two other Canadiens superstars have their rookie cards in this not-too-attractive but very important and expensive set.Doug Harvey, a six-time Norris Trophy winner and one of the greatest defensemen of all time, is undervalued at $175, while Bernie \u2018Boom Boom\u2019 Geoffrion, two time scoring champion and one of the first to regularly use the slap- shot, has his card valued at $285.Hall of Famer and two time first All-Star team member Dickie Moore\u2019s rookie card appears in the 1952-53 Parkurst set and is valued at $80, while Jean Beliveau, the first winner of the Conn Smythe Trophy and author of more than 500 goals in his brilliant career, debuts the following season at $350.The most innovative goalie in NHL history was Jacques Plante.He was the first goalie to regularly wear a mask during games and was the first at his position to roam outside of the goalie\u2019s crease to play the puck to his teammates.Plante, who went on to play with four other NHL teams as well as with Edmonton in the WHA, has his rookie card in the 1955-56 Parkhurst set and it is valued at $350.The person most opposed to Plante\u2019s idea of wearing a mask was his coach, Toe Blake.Blake, a great player during the 1940s, became coach of the Canadiens in 1955-56.He was behind the Habs\u2019 bench for 13 this

DR.GOTT: I'm a 2l-year- old female with human papilloma- virus.My doctor doesn\u2019t seem to know much about this and indicates there are over 50 different types of the virus.What should I know, and what should my partner know, if anything?DEAR READER: Actually, there are 46 types of human papilloma- virus, a common virus infection that causes warts.Ordinarily, these warts \u2014 which may appear on any skin surface \u2014 are harmless nuisances.However, types 16, 18, 31 and 33 are associated with venereal warts in both men and women.Recent studies have shown a strong relation between these warts and cancer of the penis, cervix and vaginal opening.The infection is spread by direct contact, including sexual relations, with an infected person.Virus infection may be present in either partner when no warts are visible to the naked eye.Newborn infants can contract life-threatening respiratory infection (laryngeal papillomatosis) during birth if their mothers have venereal warts.The diagnosis is confirmed by special testing, such as Pap tests and tissue biopsy.Because of the risk of cancer, treatment of genital papillomavirus infection is mandatory.Therapy includes surgical excision, burning with liquid nitrogen, application of podophyllin or injection of a drug called interfer- on-alpha directly into the warts.In my opinion, you should be under the care of a gynecologist who will aggressively treat your infection with one of the methods I mentioned.In addition, because your sexual partner \u2014 or partners \u2014 is almost surely infected, he should be examined by a urologist and treated to interrupt the cycle of infection/treatment/reinfection.Human papillomavirus infection should not be taken lightly.And, I am convinced, your family doctor should refer you to a specialist.If you are already seeing a gynecologist and he or she is vague about what to do, ask for a referral to another gynecologist who is more familiar with papilloma- virus infections.Once again, your sexual partners MUST be examined, too.To provide further information, I am sending you a free copy of my Health Report \u201cVaginal Infections and Disorders.\u201d Other readers who would like a copy should send $1.25 plus a long, self-addressed, stamped envelope to PO.Box 91369, Cleveland, OH 44101-3369.Be sure to mention the title.DEAR DR.GOTT: Our 26-year-old daughter has been diagnosed with cy- tomegalovirus.What can you tell us about this disease, how is it transmitted and can it recur?DEAR READER: CMV is a common viral illness that is very similar to mononucleosis.It causes fever, fatigue, swollen glands, sore throat, and \u2014 sometimes \u2014 hepatitis.The virus, which is a member of the herpes family, is spread by direct contact.For example, the virus is present in virtually every body fluid and can be transmitted to a baby, at birth, from the mother.CMV is so ubiquitous that up to 90 percent of adults carry antibody markers signifying past infection.The diagnosis is made by blood tests or virus cultures.Complications are rare, except in immune-compromised hosts.For instance, terminal AIS patients may contract a virulent form of CMV, leading to lung or kidney failure.However, in the vast majority of cases, CMV is self-limiting and clears up within a week or 10 days.Recurrences are rare.There is no treatment.© 1992 NEWSPAPER

By Polly Fisher DEAR POLLY \u2014 My so-called \u201cPermanent Press\u201d clothes often come out wrinkled from the dryer.Why is this?\u2014 GEMMA DEAR GEMMA \u2014 There could be several reasons.Since I can\u2019t watch you do the laundry, I'll have to suggest a few possible causes and you can see if any of them seem to fit.A major cause of wrinkling is trying to wash too big a load.If the garments are crammed together in the washer, they cannot agitate freely, and creases can set in.If the same large load is then transferred to the dryer where it can\u2019t tumble freely, those wrinkles will just become worse.Do you let the dry clothes sit in the dryer for a while before removing them?This will allow the garments to become wrinkled.Permanent press items should be removed promptly and hung or folded smoothly, smoothing out any wrinkles with your hands.Is your dryer too hot?Is your washer water too hot?Permanent press clothes should be washed in warm (not hot) or cool water.Normally, they can be dried on the regular dryer cycle, but some dryers are hotter than others.(Once, I melted a nylon ballet skirt in a blistering commercial dryer in a laundromat!) You might try using the low-heat or delicate cycle to see if it makes a difference in wrinkling.In any case, when permanent press items come out wrinkled, try this quick fix.Lightly dampen the garment and put it in the dryer with a damp towel or two.Let it tumble a few minutes on regular heat (or low, if you have a very hot dryer), then remove it.It should be fairly wrinkle free and ready to wear or put away.Some dryers have a permanent press cycle in addition to their regular and delicate cycles.In that case, be sure to use the permanent press cycle for all permanent press garments.I'm sending you a copy of my newsletter, \u201cHomemade Soaps and Cleaners.\u201d This issue offers formulas for making your own laundry pre-wash products, as well as other useful cleaning products such as furniture polishes, glass cleaner and more.Others who would like a copy of this issue should send $1.25 plus a long, self-ad- dressed, stamped envelope for each copy to POLLY'\u2019S POINTERS, in care of this newspaper, P.O.Box 93863, Cleveland, OH 44101-5863.\u2014 POLLY Polly will send you a Polly Dollar ($1) if she uses your favorite Pointer, Peeve or Problem in her column.Write POLLY\u2019S POINTERS in care of this newspaper.© 1992 NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.POLLY'S POINTERS POLLY FISHER YNATURALIZER.Fashion and comfort TINA $72 AA,B White leather or black patent BREEZE $82 B,D black patent DIAMOND $75 AA, B,D black patent White, bone or navy leather; SPICEY $78 AA, B,C White or bone leather; White, bone/multi, fuschia/white/purple multi SNAPPY $66 AA B,D White, bone, red, navy, black leather $68 AA B,D leather SNUGGLE White, navy, black PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONALIZED SERVICE CASEY s66 AA, B,D White or red leather PAT $69 AA, B,D black patent ARRIVA $70 AA, B White or bone leather $79 AA, B,D black patent White, bone, navy leather; White, bone/multi leather; DOTTIE $64 AA, B,D White, bone leather TESS $72 AA B,D White, bone, navy leather Reg, \\ ALL OUR PRICES ARE TAXES (GST + PST) (VALID UNTIL APRIL 4 INCLUSIVE) INCLUDED CARREFOUR DE L\u2019ESTRIE SHERBROOKE, QUE.NATURALIZER.SCHEIB INC.LES PROMENADES DRUMMONDVILLE DRUMMONDVILLE, QUE."]
