as in 1992, says the province\u2019s largest employers\u2019 group.In its annual pre-New Year forecast, the Conseil du patronat says 1993 will see slow eco- i nomic growth, unemployment atover 12 per cent and the creation of only 15,000 jobs.\u201cWe think that (1993) will be a very good year in reference to the industrial relations cli- Parizeau revives debate on unity QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Quebec could become a sovereign country within two-and-a-half years, Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau predicted Monday.\u201cIn the coming days and months, we will once again be discussing the collective project of Quebec sovereignty,\u201d Parizeau said.With a federal election expected next year, \u2018* At a news conference, Pari- zeau mapped out what he called the three stages of the road to independence.The first, when a federal election is held \u2018\u2018in seven \u2018or eight months,\u201d is to ensure the Bloc Québécois wins a large number of seats so it can promote Quebec sovereignty in Parliament.The second step involves convincing voters to oust Premier Robert Bourassa\u2019s Liberals in a provincial election fought on Québec independence.The last step, within eight or nine months of a PQ election win, is the lang- promised referendum on sovereignty.\u201cWe don\u2019t have any more time than we need to bring about these three steps,\u201d cautioned Parizeau.it\u2019s more important than ever.\u201d 14 VARIATIONS ' \u2018\u201c\u201cWe certainly won\u2019t get bogged down on things we discussed five years ago \u2014 like 14 variations of distinct society.\u2018Those days are finished.\u201d Parizeau accused the Liberals of having no ideas on how to get the province\u2019s economy healthy again.He pledged to discuss the economy \u2018\u2018the morning after\u201d the failed Oct.26 referendum on the Charlottetown accord.Parizeau said there were subsequent debates in the legislature but no action and he realised it wasn\u2019t working.\u201c\u2018Aîter three-and-a-half weeks in the legislature trying to see a plan for economic recovery, we have to do something Mr.Bourassa would not do \u2014 which is to push for the sovereignty of Quebec.\u201d U.S.college sells bonds to protest Great Whale QUEBEC (CP) \u2014 Quebec Energy Minister Lise Bacon tried Monday to minimize the damage that a small private college in New Hampshire might have done to Hydro-Quebec\u2019s image.Dartmouth College announced last week it will sell all $6.8 million of its Hydro-Quebec bonds as a protest against the proposed Great Whale hydroelectric project in northern Quebec.\u201cWe are trying, despite these regrettable incidents, to present responsible information (about the Great Whale project) to residents of the northeastern United States,\u201d\u201d Bacon told Parti Québécois energy critic Guy Chevrette in the Quebec legislature.She agreed that the Cree have successfully influenced public opinion in the United States about Great Whale.Through the media and public advertising campaigns, the Cree have vigorously criticized the dam development which will flood 5,000 square kilometres of their land around the Great Whale River just east of James Bay.\u201cIt strikes me that the (Dartmouth College) action was made following a cunning disinformation campaign,\u201d Bacon said.Bacon said that $6.8 million is a very small sum compared to the billions of dollars that Hydro-Quebec has borrowed through bond sales in the United States.mate.But in reference to the number of jobs, we think we will continue to have many problems,\u201d president Ghislain Du- four said Monday.Dufour said the average wage hike next year will be two and a half per cent, with inflation running at two per cent.And unions won't call as many strikes for fear of creating even more unemployment.The generally gloomy economic picture sends a message to unions, Dufour said.\u201cThe unions now are very realistic and see they can\u2019t have more money and more fringe benefits.They have to accept the difficult situation we have right now.\u201d The group's forecast also expects investment will be discouraged by the next federal election \u2014 in which it expects Canadians to elect a minority government \u2014 and by another round of language debate in Quebec.\u201cIn 1993.we might have a mi- 40 cents nority government, which isn\u2019t good for stability,\u2019 Dufour said.As well.Quebec\u2019s language law comes up for review in 1993 as the notwithstanding clause reaches its five-year constitutional limit and a decision on whether or not to renew it will have to be made.Such language debates, although unavoidable, hurt economic growth, Dufour said.\u201cWe think this kind of discussion is never a way to

weekend derailment of a train carrying hazardous chemicals at Oakville, Man., but CN Rail officials say they are not cutting corners.It\u2019s not known what caused the derailment of 29 cars carrying toxic chemicals, which forced more than 400 people from their homes in the town, 65 kilometres west of Winnipeg.\u201cOne of our concerns is how much maintenance is being done on the track, we're definitely way short on people.\u201d Ken Deptuck, vice-president of the Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees, said Monday.\u201cWe usually have our own people patrol the track but as a result of cutbacks we don't have our members patrolling the track.\u201d The cause of the wreck won't be known until after workers remove the derailed cars and clear the stretch of track where the accident occurred.Federal government inspectors will be looking for broken wheels, rails or ankles among the possible causes.INSPECTIONS REDUCED The local representative of track workers said he was unaware of any specific problems in the Oakville area although EARLY BIRD 1/2 PRICE 4:30 - 6:30 p.m.on special menu SE BISTRO GALOPIN.Sherbrooke 563-4755 4200 King Street West (corner B-Fabi Blvd.) Employers say

initiatives so far.\u201cWe don\u2019t see in the development programs announced by both the federal and provincial governments.any important economic development projects and that\u2019s why we're very pessimistic for next year.\u201d Downtown St.John\u2019s on fire By Beth Gorham ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP) \u2014 The sky over St.John\u2019s was lit with an orange glow Monday night as firefighters battled a rash of blazes and an apparent explosion in the capital\u2019s downtown area.The fire levelled the century- old Church Lads Brigade armory, an adjacent Social Services Department building and a grocery store.It spread to several nearby houses and a restaurant.Buildings on some neighboring streets were evacuated and centres were being set up to take in at least 500 residents.There were no reports of injuries.Police evacuated the headquarters of the Royal Newfoundland Constabulary at the rear of the blaze,-which started in the armory.\u201cThe heat is starting to crack the windows,\u2019\u2019 said police Lieut.Robert Shannahan.\u201cIt\u2019s pretty grim here right now,\u201d he said before abruptly hanging up the telephone.Wind gusts of 63 kilometres an hour threatened to spread the flames even further.There was an apparent explosion in the fire, located in the upper level of the city that slopes down to the harbor.Carl Lake, a reporter with VOCM-AM radio, said propane tanks exploded and power was out near the armory.See FIRE: page 2 union Len Gladish said cuts in 1989 reduced the number of inspections.\u201cWe used to do it on a daily basis,\u2019 he said.\u201cNow it\u2019s a more scheduled process where supervisors will patrol the tracks about three times a week.\u201d But a CN official said the railway has reduced the number of accidents by about 34 per cent in the last decade.Canadians less interested in spirits of Christmas By Bob Cox OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Sales of spirits, beer and wine continued to slide last year and some researchers say Canada is now into a new temperance era.Alcohol sales across the country fell 3.2 per cent for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1991, the third straight year sales have dropped, Statistics Canada said Monday.The drop amounted to each adult buying one less bottle of whisky, one less botle of wine and eight fewer bottles of beer.Researchers said it\u2019s not due to tough economic times but part of a trend that has seen consumption drop about 15 per cent over the past decade.\u2018\u201c\u2018We\u2019re not drinking a lot less, but we are drinking less,\u201d said Dr.Robin Room, vice- president of research and development for the Toronto-based Addiction Research Foundation.Room said a similar trend started in the United States in the same year \u2014 1981 \u2014 fuelled by health concerns and changed attitudes to social drinking.TEMPERANCE PERIOD \u201cWe are in what you might call a new temperance period,\u201d he said.\u201cPeople are more concerned

children \u2014 and the knowledge that food is finally getting through to them \u2014 are prompting Canadians to donate money for relief efforts in Somalia this holiday season.Aid groups hope United Nations efforts to disarm feuding warlords who are looting food supplies will encourage Canadians to dig deeper into their wallets.\u201cThere was a euphoria after the troops arrived and the feeling that everything would stabilize \u2014 and certainly donations took a spurt after that period,\u201d says Harry Black, executive director of UNICEF Canada.Canadians, quite naturally, are more willing to make donations when they know it will make a difference, says Black.\u201cThey don\u2019t want to put money into a lost cause.If the money was going into food and the food was being hijacked.people just don\u2019t see that as a sensible way to spend their money.\u201d The organization, which has raised $130,000 since September, is using the money to distribute food, medicine, drinking water, blankets, clothing and other supplies.The Canadian Red Cross Society has raised $2.2 million since August through activities like telethons, gala dinners and charity sales, says spokeswoman Yvette Diepenbrock.\u201cWe have had people so moved by the situation in Somalia that they donated amounts of $10.000 and $20,000,\u201d she says.But donations fell during the autumn from a high of $43,000 a day in September to $26,000 a day last month, she says.\u201cHopefully, people feel more positive about Somalia now,\u201d says Diepenbrock.\u201cThey see that there is now going to be a longterm solution and we're hoping that will start to increase donations \u2014 in addition to the Christmas spirit.\u201d CARE Canada has raised $250,000 for relief to Somalia since August \u2014 including one cheque for $50,000, says spokeswoman Angela Mackay.Relief organizations are starting to think about ways to help the Somali people get back on their feet economically, she says.\u2018\u201c\u201cClearly, the longterm rehabilitation of Somalia is going to be the challenge once the initial emergency relief period is over,\u201d says Mackay.\u201cSome money has already gone to a seeds and tools project which is a step in encouraging people to stay on the land where they have traditionally lived,\u201d she says.The Christian Children\u2019s Fund has raised $50,000 for Somalia since mid-November \u2014 a good response for that organization, says Mary Lynne Stewart.director of development.The Mennonite Central Committee had raised $210,000 by the end of November, money it has earmarked for rehabilitation projects, says spokesman Rick Fast.Rock star Tom Cochrane attracted plenty of attention earlier this month when he visited Baidoa as an ambassador for World Vision.World Vison Canada has raised about $1 million for famine relief in Somalia in the past four months, says Dave Toy- cen, vice-president of World Vision Canada.\u201cEven though we're in difficult recessionary times in Canada.it\u2019s become quite clear that there are many people who have the ability to give.\u2018\u2018In spite of the talk of compassion fatigue .we find there are very generous people.\u201d Gifts to Somalia easy to send Still looking for the perfect holiday gift for someone special?Here\u2019s an altruistic solution: A donation to help feed the hungry in Somalia.Many large relief groups acknowledge donations made as gifts on behalf of other people with a special donor card.\u201cIt\u2019s just a different way to give to someone who has everything when you\u2019re not quite sure what to do,\u201d says Gerry Clarke, direct mail manager for CARE Canada.\u201cIt saves on your feet too.if you don\u2019t want to walk through the malls or whatever.\u201d Such gifts account for just a small share of total donations to relief organizations but Christmas is usually the busiest time.\u201cIt\u2019s for any time of the year,\u201d says Clarke.\u2018We have all-occasion cards so we get them sometimes for birthdays, or anniversaries or weddings.It depends on what people are celebrating.\u201d Harry Black, executive director of UNICEF-Canada, says his group also supplies cards for people making gifts in someone else\u2019s name.\u201cIt's one way people feel they're donating.\u2019 he says.*\u2018We have almost every conceivable kind of donation coming in here to us.\u201d Acid rain still not under control \u2014 committee By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A further round of cuts in sulphur dioxide emissions is needed to eliminate environmental damage, says the Commons environment committee.Some parts of Canada, such as New Brunswick, are getting almost four times more acid precipitation than their marine ecosystems can absorb without.harm, says the committee in a new report.The tone of the report differs sharply from the assessment in the 1990 Green Plan which said existing programs in Canada and the United States would solve Canada\u2019s acid rain problem.David MacDonald, environment committee chairman, said, \u2018Nothing could be farther from the truth.\u201d Air pollution, mainly sulphur dioxide, causes acid rain which has sterilized thousands of lakes and killed fish.Researchers also suspect acid rain slows forest growth and harms human health.New Brunswick is reporting By Peter Boisseau The Canadian Press Christmas is supposed to be a time of good spirits.But many people are haunted by the ghosts of Christmas past.Those memories can throw a foreboding shadow over the holidays, says Gwyn Jones of Warren Shepell Consultants, a Toronto-based company that runs employee counselling programs for many companies.Instead of being a time of good cheer, \u201cChristmas has been a time of good cheers\u201d full of alcohol abuse and family conflict, says Jones.For others, what is supposed to be a time of togetherness becomes a time when they\u2019ve never felt more alone.It can be an \u201cemotional millstone\u2019 for people who are recently separated.Christmas can drive people apart as easily as it brings them together, adds David Mensink of Dalhousie University\u2019s counselling and psychological services in Halifax.DREAD HOLIDAYS \u201cI know some students who Just dread the Christmas holidays because of conflicts within the family.\u201cThey know they\u2019re going to go there (home) and fight and Don\u2019t let holiday blues get you down \u2014 expert don\u2019t look forward to, to say the least.\u201d And all the tidings of comfort and joy can make some people\u2019s problems seem worse, says Mensink.\u201cThis time of year is supposedly a joyous, peaceful time.\u201cIf things aren\u2019t right in people\u2019s lives, Christmas tends to accentuate that.They say to themselves: \u201cWe can\u2019t even enjoy each other\u2019s company at Christmas time!\u2019 People also tend to slow down and take time off, he notes, eliminating the outside distractions that may have masked a marital problem or kept a contlict from coming to a head.Then there are the dreaded in-law visitations and social gatherings.\u201cSome people have difficulty getting along in that kind of atmosphere.\u201d BREAKDOWN Any or all of which can be enough to \u201cpush the water over the dam,\u201d and cause a family or marriage breakdown, says Mensink.But the past and present don\u2019t have to be the \u201cblueprint\u2019\u2019 for the future, says Jones, who counsels people not to let their problems play Scrooge during the holidays.argue and it\u2019s

kilograms, says the report.The current acid rain control program, announced in 1985, has cost government and industry about $4.2 billion, the committee estimates.SECOND ROUND Government officials say that negotiations are under way on a second round of emission cuts, but give no cost estimates.Divorce By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Some marriage counsellors are incredulous at Statistics Canada figures released Monday showing that Canada\u2019s divorce rate is dropping.Last year there were 77,031 divorces, down from 90,985 five years ago, the federal agency says.The decline occurred despite substantial population growth over the same period.Lilian Benzinger of the Alfred Adler Institute in Montreal laughed at the federal figures.*\u2018I don\u2019t think that corres- \u2018\u201cThere\u2019s going to have to be another round of work with the provinces,\u201d Pierre Pinault of the Environment Department said in an interview.\u2018\u2018More reductions are needed in some parts of Canada, and we may be able to allow a bit of growth in some areas.\u201d The current acid-rain control program was designed in the early 1980s when it was believed lakes could absorb up to 20 kilograms of sulphur dioxide deposits per hectare annually without suffering.But scientists have discove- statistics ponds to the reality,\u2019\u2019 said Ben- zinger, who has extensive experience in counselling troubled couples.\u2018I have a feeling that (the divorce rate) is rather increasing.\u201d John Mansfield of the Human Behavior Skills Institute in Ottawa also was surprised at the figures but speculated that the recession may be keeping couples together.\u201cIt may be the economic situation and people are sticking together out of desperation,\u201d he said.\u201cYou haven't got the dollars to say, \u2018Go to hell, I'm red a great regional variation in sensitivity to acid rain.For example, areas with a lot of limestone have a much greater ability to neutralize acid.The new program will be designed to reflect such geographic variations, said Pinault.Canada\u2019s current acid-rain control program, which expires in 1994, cost substantially less than expected, says the report.Ottawa promised in 1985 to contribute up to $150 million for measures but spent about $65 million.And the overall cost of controls for both government and industry was only about a quarter of the cost initially predicted when the program was designed, a government expert told the committee.The cost of cleaning up smelting operations was $827 million.Among untilities, cleanup costs were $210 million for the New Brunswick Electric Power Commission, $590 million for the Nova Scotia Electric Power Commission and $2.46 billion for Ontario Hydro.spur speculation walking out.\u2019\u201d\u2019 RECESSION EFFECT A Statistics Canada spokeswoman agreed the recession may be affecting the numbers.\u201cIt\u2019s just much more expensive to maintain two homes than one for the same number of people, and other statistics show the standard of living drops considerably for divorced women,\u201d said Jane Gentleman.The decline may also be partly due to the growing number of common-law relationships.When a common-law relationship breaks down, it\u2019s not counted as a divorce, she said.Divorces surged to historic highs in 1986 and 1987 after the government introduced new legislation making it easier to get divorced, but since then there has been a downward trend, she said.In 1987, half of all marriages ended in divorce.That has now fallen to about 40 divorces per 100 marriages.But divorce levels still remain higher than in the early 1980s, before the more permissive law was passed.Dutch jet plunges to fiery crash By Robert Powell FARO, Portugal (Reuter) \u2014 A Dutch jetliner packed with Christmas vacationers crashed while trying to land in a heavy rainstorm on Monday, killing at least 54 people, autho rities said.More than 200 people were injured when the three-engine charter plane \u2014 carrying 340 passengers and crew \u2014 caught fire and crashed on its second attempt to land.Thirteen people suffered severe burns.Airport director Carlos Saru- ca Salgado said at least 274 people survived the crash of the Martinair DC-10, but 54 were confirmed dead.The others were missing.A spokeswoman at the Canadian Embassy in Lisbon told FIRE: ver colors could still be seen on some pieces of wreckage.\u2018\u2018People were trampling over each other to get out of the plane,\u201d Portuguese passenger Teresa Cesario, a student in the Netherlands, told the news agency Lusa.\u2018\u2018\u201cThe plane circled round several times and there was total panic on board,\u201d she said at a Faro hotel were some of the survivors were taken.\u2018\u2018When the plane was near the runway, it was going very fast.\u201d Faro is an Atlantic coast community that is 225 kilometres southeast of Lisbon and is a major stopping point for the resorts along what is known as the Portugese Riviera.\u201cMost of the injured were in The Canadian Press on Monday that a Canadian man was on the flight.She said he is fine, but he has asked not to be identified.Airport officials said the plane crashed on its second attempt to land in heavy rain and strong crosswinds.One wing scraped the runway then there was an explosion, the plane burst into flames and skidded off the tarmac, they added.Pieces of the aircraft were scattered over 300 metres.Passengers\u2019 baggage spilled out of the hold and burst suitcases, charred books, swimming suits and tubes of sun tan oil lay in the mud around the remains of the plane.The airline\u2019s white.orange and sil- the back of the plane, which split open as it crash landed, spilling passengers onto the runway,\u2019\u2019 Saruca Salgado said.The jet\u2019s owners said in Amsterdam that the people on board included 12 children and eight babies.Portugal\u2019s TSF radio said most of those on the airliner were Dutch.The plane touched down with a heavy bump that burst open overhead bins and sent luggage spilling over passengers in the packed cabin, survivors said.\u201cOne moment the lockers came open, then there was fire outside and there was fire inside and then the ceiling and the walls collapsed,\u2019 said Chris Nieuwenhoven, 42, who escaped with only hand burns.Continued from page one.\u201cWe can\u2019t get

are giving their own special Christmas card to Sherbrooke MP Jean Charest today.The Table d\u2019Action Contre l\u2019Appauvrissment de l\u2019Estrie and the Mouvement des Chômeurs et Chômeuses de l\u2019Es- trie say they will present the card, signed by UI recipients, to protest finance minister Don Mazankowski\u2019s recent announcement of upcoming changes to the unemployment insurance benefits program.The changes mean fewer workers may be eligible for UI and those that are eligible will get less.The groups presented Cha- rest with lumps of coal and potatoes last week to try and

as Archbishop Monseigneur Jean- Marie Fortier offered his signature of support.Fortier signed his name to the movement in a letter to Charest.which stated, \u201cI unite myself to their protest against the measures.\u201d CHURCH SENSITIVE It\u2019s not unusual for the Church to be involved in politics, said Msgr.Fortier after the signing.\u201cNot nowadays.we are very sensitive to the social situation in Quebec and Canada.\u201d he said.Fortier said he agreed \u201ctotally\u201d with the movement.adding he had already written to Cha- rest, whom he called a personal friend.to intervene as

solution.\u201d he said.\u201cWe must also pressure our politicians to improve the situation.\u201d Fortier said that while helping the needy was worthwhile.it uses up a substantial amount of the archdiocese\u2019s resources.The archdiocese donated $8,000 to La Grand Table, he said.CONCRETE STAND Philippe Poisson of La Grand Table said Charest should take a concrete stand on behalf of his constituents, many of whom are out of work.\u201cHe must distance himself from partisanship as a representative of the people if he really is to function and to help people.\u201d Poisson said Monday.\u201cHe must detach himself from the Progressive Conservative party to really represent us.\u201d Responding to criticism last week, Charest said the new system is fairer, even though fewer people will qualify for benefits.The government doesn\u2019t want to penalize unemployed people.he said.Charest also said there was no way the government would ask heavy industry to make larger contributions to UI benefits, calling the burden already too large.But the unemployed deserve unemployment insurance, Poisson said.\u201cWorkers worked and fought hard to get it.Cutting it is a backward move for workers.\u201d Poisson and MCCE representatives Denis Poudrier and Bernard Couture met with local union representatives after not mentally 1ll an ll-year-old boy in a park June 23,

said his discussions with Le- mieux, 19, and observation of other evidence revealed a person with no mental illnesses.He told the jury there was no reason to think, as the defence has suggested, that Lemieux «can\u2019t be held criminally responsible for the stabbing death because of mental illness.Lemieux is charged with the first-degree murder of Ste- phane Dion in a park in Windsor and with the attempted murder of both the victim's sister, Caroline Dion, and another woman who tried to help the boy.Wolwertz testified Lemieux chose to stab the 11-year-old boy, passing up several other people in the park.\u201cHe chose an easy victim,\u201d Wolwertz said.\u201cHe was aware of what was going on.\u201d Wolwertz added.\u201cThis wasn\u2019t an act of madness.He wasn\u2019t cut off from

quit their jobs voluntarily, or who are fired for just cause, will not be eligible for unemployment benefits.Those getting UI will receive 57 per cent of their earnings instead of 60 per cent.The

BOMB Wolwertz said Lemieux was a \u201ctime bomb\u201d with a tendency toward violence.He attended only violent movies and read violent books.His family and close friends did nothing to discourage him from resorting to violence, he continued, and even bought him knives and replicas of skulls to add to his extensive collections.Cpl.Mario Dufour testified Monday he was threatened with a knife by Lemieux, who was his subordinate in the army.in January 1992.He said Lemieux took his non-army knife out, pointed it at him and told him to \u201cstop hassling me.\u201d Dr.Michel Goudreau, the other psychiatrist for the prosecution, said Lemieux could distinguish easily between right and wrong.Goudreau referred to Le- mieux\u2019s impassive and see- minlgy unemotional appearance at the trial as a \u201cpoker face.\u201d He said Lemieux has emotions but \u201cdoesn\u2019t want to give them away to his opponents.\u201d Defence lawyer Peter Downey and Crown prosecutor André Campagna made their closing arguments during a rare nighttime session of the court, which they agreed to hold because of the approaching holidays.RESPONSIBLE Downey asked the jury members during his 45-minute address whether they could be sure beyond any hesitation Le- mieux wasn\u2019t suffering from any mental disorders which would clear him of legal responsibility for his actions, if they intend to find him guilty.Campagna took one hour to tell jurors Lemieux had carefully planned and executed the stabbings, and he pointed to Le- mieux\u2019s detailed recollections of the events of June 23.He added that Lemieux\u2019s statements about the stabbings show ample evidence of intent and planning, both of which are necessary for a first-degree murder conviction.When the trial continues today, Judge Raynald Fréchette is to instruct the 12-member jury on the legal points they will have to consider during their deliberation. 4+\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, December 22, 1992 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Merry X-mas Thanks, Jacques.;( And, oh, by the way, Merry Christmas to you too.\u201cWe\u2019re nearly 2 1/2 years away from sovereignty,\u201d predicted Parti Québécois leader Jacques Parizeau smugly on Monday.Isn\u2019t Quebec exhausted yet from this ne- ver-ending toothache?Never one to back away from an opportunity, Parizeau isn\u2019t about to give up the PQ\u2019s ulcerously familiar calling.Politically speaking, he can hardly be blamed, with a federal and provincial political landscape forecasted to change in 1993 and an economic comfort zone for most Quebecers unlikely to be, in fact, all that comforting.It\u2019s nice to know, at least, that the PQ is still clear about independence.No beating about the bush in 1993 is probably the party\u2019s backroom slogan.Nor is it surprising.It was only a matter of days after the October 26 referendum that Parizeau unveiled the battle plan for independence.And now Quebecers know over which subject the next provincial election will be fought.Well, whoopee.But in the meantime, excuse me while I fish out the pennies from my wallet.The PQ leader seems to enjoy needling Liberal premier Robert Bourassa into a concrete position on independence.This time, he\u2019s taken it upon himself to decide Quebecers\u2019 future.Maybe the rest of the province should needle right along with him.In a battle that seemingly will never be allowed to end, it\u2019s about time the Bourassa government responded with equal grace to the sovereignty issue.With the gauntlet thrown down as it was, all Quebecers should demand no less.Quebecers deserve to be free of rhetoric and faced with a substantial, clear future \u2014 one way or the other.Threats and empty political programs will only fuel the same useless debates.¢ Thegyhefdric has already started with : Parigeerciting the province\u2019s economy as a factor in the success of sovereignty.He criticized the Liberals for having no idea how to rejuvenate that economy.This, after only 3 1/2 weeks in the legislature trying to formulate an economic recovery plan and almost two months since the October 26 referendum that saw proposed constitutional changes fall through.\u201cFailure\u201d like that is apparantly recipe for sovereignty.Compromise doesn\u2019t come easily, however, especially if one side doesn\u2019t ever intend to compromise anyway.And any ding-a-ling knows an economic plan can\u2019t be formulated overnight \u2014 particularly in a democratic society, where compromise takes time, and in a country needing long-term political and economic vision.And in the legislature \u2014 well, what else but butt-heading would you expect anyway?One more quibble.Distinct society has already been decided for Parizeau.Fine, but for the record, let\u2019s hear again exactly what it is and what it means \u2014 for all Quebecers, please.CAROLINE KUTSCHKE Santa Jacques 7 7 b 2 CIA AGH CE ACC CU, iid EL LA I s

still includes Quebec By Glen Colbourn TORONTO (CP) \u2014 \u2018My Canada includes Quebec.\u201d A lot about the Oct.26 referendum has been forgotten in the two months since it was held, but the eloquent plea for unity has proven memorable.And it wasn\u2019t the product of high-powered advertising agencies backed by a big-spending government.It came from Jim Taylor, a trucker.Taylor\u2019s name appeared \u2014 along with 300,000 others \u2014 on 112 billboards he transported and displayed across the country over the past year.My Canada Includes Quebec \u2014 Mon Canada Comprend le Québec read the signs.The phrase lingers and Taylor\u2019s efforts to unite the country continue.He is planning several \u2018\u2018sorties\u201d\u201d \u2014 he likes the bilingual nature of the word \u2014 into Quebec next year to continue showing his billboards.But he remains diffident about his role in the constitutional limelight.RECLUSE \u201cTam a recluse,\u201d he said recently, reflecting on his national fence mending.\u201cWhat I did was totally atypical to my personality.\u201cOnce I put up the billboards, my life wasn\u2019t my own.I was forced out.\u201d Friends and workers were shocked at Taylor\u2019s transformation from small businessman\u201d he and a partner run a regional trucking company \u2014 to nation saver.\u201cThey thought I was nuts.I guess I am a nut,\u201d he says, his voice still seratchy from 4 hours sleep and a 12-hour driving shift.He also spent Oct.26 \u2014 referendum day \u2014 behind the wheel.After hundreds of hours of unity work Taylor missed riding-by- riding coverage of the vote.\u201cI worked for 18 hours driving a truck because of a sick driver,\u201d he remembers with amusement.The modest Taylor and his volunteers raised \u2014 and spent \u2014 $135,000 on the billboard campaign.DONATIONS APPEARED They never asked for any funding, but once people saw My Canada Includes Quebec bumper stickers \u2014 which is how Taylor got into the unity business \u2014 donations started appearing in his \u201cmailbox.* © \u201cI'm still'getting unsolicited money,\u201d Taylor says.\u201cBut it\u2019s a problem.\u201cI don\u2019t want to pay taxes on it.\u201d Taylor voted Yes, but says he's not disappointed the No side won the day.Nor does he think the result clouds the country\u2019s future.\u201cThe amount of passion the debate generated was good \u2014 and unifying.People were talking.Because of that, I thought the whole process was more important than the outcome.\u201d Besides continuing the billboard displays.the thoughtful, well-spoken native of Abbotsford, B.C., hopes to develop an interactive video progam that would be used by French students in Quebec and immersion students elsewhere.Even if the idea doesn\u2019t fly and interest in the billboards wanes, Taylor says he has fond memories of the unity campaign.= \"\u201c\u201cThere was this one silvér- haired lady who told me she would get on the highway and pull up beside cars with Quebec plates and hold up a sign saying Mon Canada Comprend le Québec.\u201cI thought, \u2018My God, I'm going to cause an accident.\u2019 \u201cIt was hokey as hell but it was an individual trying to do something.\u201d Today in History By The Canadian Press The United States was ordered to pay Canada $463,000 compensation 96 years ago today \u2014 in 1896 \u2014 in a dispute over the Bering Sea.A Paris arbitration tribunal made the ruling, saying Canada had to be compensated for British Colum- bian fishing vessels that had been seized by the Americans in the Bering Sea.The United States had declared the sea an exclusive reserve for U.S.fur-sealers, but the tribunal rejected that claim.Also on this day in: 1869 \u2014 Newfoundland voted against

by missionary Jean de Brebeuf.GOLDEN BOY Golden Boy, a gilded bronze figure of a youth carrying a torch in one hand and a sheaf of wheat in the other, is perched on the dome of the Manitoba Legislature.Referendum slammed constitutional door By Gerry Arnold OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Is anyone out there aching for a good old- fashioned dialogue about the Constitution?Didn\u2019t think so.Neither is Canada\u2019s political class \u2014 and that includes governments, opposition members, the bureaucracy and interest groups.The simple fact is that the country\u2019s political agenda in 1993 will focus on the economy and the federal election to be held in the next year.Within days of the historic Oct.26 constitutional referendum.the door was closed on the constitutional issue.Period.If the vote underlined anything, it was that Canada\u2019s political leadership was reading from a different page than the rest of the country.MISMATCHED PRIORITIES \u201cThe mismatch between the priorities of the politicians and those of the general public may be wider today than at any time in our history,\u201d Michael Adams, president of Environics Research, a polling firm, said in a speech shortly after the referendum.Having been chastened by voters, politicians took the hint and turned their attention to the economy.Many feel it will be a long time before they dare wade so far into the constitutional swamp again.\u201cEverything is in a hiatus.\u201d Jim Horsman, Alberta\u2019s avuncular intergovernmental affairs minister, said in an interview.For example, Horsman wants the federal government to signal whether there's any chance of new power-sharing agreements with the provinces.But he knows he\u2019s going to have to wait.\u2018\u201cI don\u2019t think we're going to get much done in the foreseeable future, not until after the next federal election at the earliest.\u201d SIX PROVINCES SAID NO The Charlottetown accord \u2014 the deal that would have made Quebec a distinct society, given natives self-government and reformed the Senate \u2014 was rejected by voters in Nova Scotia, Quebec and all four western provinces on Oct.26.REVIEW 1992 That killed the accord.In the aftermath, the political landscape has been convulsed.Tony Penikett\u2019s NDP government in the Yukon was defeated.Premiers Don Getty of Alberta and Joe Ghiz of Prince Edward Island, as well as Liberal Leader Sharon Carstairs of Manitoba, have called it quits.Ovide Mercredi of the Assembly of First Nations is doing major damage control.Even the Reform party has lost key staff in the postmortem to its high-profile No campaign.But since the accord was rejected at the front door by voters, there\u2019s a chance bureaucrats might go through the back door to put some elements of the deal in place through political agreements.Itis a long shot, especially when the federal agenda is focused completely on election planning.But here\u2019s a rundown of some of the main elements of the Charlottetown deal and what, if anything, can be done with them.DISTINCT SOCIETY: A dead duck.The whole point was to give Quebec constitutional recognition of its unique language, culture and legal tradition.Unless it's in the Constitution, it\u2019s of no use to Quebec governments as a legal basis for enacting laws to protect Quebec\u2019s distinctiveness.NATIVE SELF-GOVERNMENT: What natives wanted was recognition of their inherent right to govern themselves.\u2018'Inherent\u2019 means a right that has always existed and cannot be taken away by Parliament.The No vote scrapped that recognition, but there\u2019s a consensus that some form of self- government can be achieved anyway, even if it\u2019s not stamped inherent.The first way would essentially be a gradual transfer of federal ~esponsibilities to native bands through two-way agreements.The second process would see the provinces take steps to transfer jurisdiction for local government matters to native bands.But the general confusion about self-government remains.It\u2019s difficult to find agreement on what self-government would be and if it would be the same for all natives.SENATE REFORM: Don't hold your breath.Charlottetown would have overhauled the Senate, creating an elected.provincially equal chamber with new powers.It\u2019s unlikely anything will be done with the Senate any time soon.Officials in some provinces now even prefer abolition to reform.Reform Leader Preston Manning has called on all sitting Alberta senators to resign so Al- bertans can elect a full slate at the same time as the next provincial election.But Prime Minister Brian Mulroney is more likely to simply appoint new senators as he has in the past.There's no requirement for formal consultations with the provinces, as became conventional for a time after the Meech Lake accord.POWER SHARING: The Charlottetown accord would have expanded powers in several areas to all provinces.But even as the corpse of the deal was turning paler, Quebec was again leading the call for more clout.\u2018We can\u2019t get constitutional changes that were refused by Quebecers as well as a majority of other Canadians .but that doesn\u2019t stop us from being efficient governments and finding administrative, political agreements,\u201d Gil Remillard, Quebec\u2019s intergovernmental affairs minister, said recently.DEALS STILL POSSIBLE Agreements in areas covered by the failed accord \u2014 forestry, mining, tourism, housing, recreation and municipal affairs \u2014 are possible.With a Quebec election likely within 18 months, Quebec will probably again lead the call for more powers from the federal government.But the prospect of Canada\u2019s constitutional struggles again becoming an Ottawa-Quebec tug-of- war \u2014 with other provinces relegated to bit parts \u2014 doesn\u2019t inspire Horsman of Alberta, among others.\u201cOne of my concerns is that the agenda will continue to be set by Quebec and the results of the next Quebec general election will be the agenda the rest of the people have to follow,\u201d Horsman said.But for now, any action appears unlikely.This is the first in a series of stories by the Canadian Press taking a backward glance at the news of 1992, Md Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014 Tuesday, December 22, 1992\u20145 Becord Federal government seizes life insurance company By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP)\u2014 Financially troubled Sovereign Life Insurance Co., a medium-sized insurer based in Calgary, was seized Monday by the federal government.The order was issued by Finance Minister Don Mazan- kowski on the advice of the federal regulator, the Superintendent of Financial Institutions.It was the first failure of a federally regulated insurance company, although a number firms under provincial control have gone out of business.The company, founded in 1894.has offices across the country and has 273 employees \u2014 most in Calgary.The government said about 90 per cent of roughly 160,000 policy holders will be fully protected by an industry- sponsored protection fund.Sovereign also administers about 140 group insurance plans.There were reports earlier this year that Sovereign was in serious financial difficulty.But the company denied the trouble was serious and continued to write policies.Nancy Murphy, spokesman for the superintendent\u2019s office, said the federal regulator acted prudently.NO FRUITION \u201cWe have been monitoring it (Sovereign) for a while now and the search for a buyer unfortunately didn\u2019t come to any fruition,\u201d she said.\u2018\u2018That\u2019s when the decision was taken that there was not going to be sufficient assets to cover costs and liabilities.In order to protect the policy holders we moved in.\u201d Murphy said the superintendent didn\u2019t raise any public alarm to give the company time to restructure.A Toronto-based agent of the company, who asked not to be named, said he attended a meeting of Sovereign insurance agents in California during November.The agents were told that the company was in the process of being taken over by another insurance company.The agent said the company had also been planning its next meeting in France, to celebrate the approach of the 100th anniversay.Officials at Sovereign declined immediate comment.Mazankowski\u2019s statement said the company\u2019s assets are insufficient to protect policy holders and creditors and that Sovereign would not be able to meet its liabilities.The statement also said Ma- zankowski will ask the attorney general to apply to the Alberta courts for an order to wind up the company.HASTY DECISIONS \u201cAll policy holders are urged not to make hasty decisions about their policies,\u2019 said Ma- zankowski.He advised policy holders to continue to pay premiums to ensure coverage continues.But the company cannot accept any new business.Don Smith, chairman of TRAC Insurance Services Ltd., a Toronto-based insurance company rating service, said he was concerned that action was not taken months ago despite warning signs.In September, TRAC had reported that lenders had taken control of Sovereign and it had failed seven of the eight financial tests TRAC uses in its analyses.\u2018I wonder how many poor people bought policies because their broker wasn\u2019t informed,\u201d said Smith.He said major lenders are believed to include Royal Life, Equitable Life Insurance Co., Groupe Desjardins, Lauren- tian Group Corp., and Banque Paribas.\u201cIt could have a minor ripple effect on these guys,\u201d said Smith.Banks cut prime lending rates again as dollar climbs By Murray Oxby TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Interest rates continued to slide as the Canadian dollar rose nearly half a cent Monday.The five major banks announced they're cutting their prime lending rates by a quarter of a percentage point to 7.50 per cent, effective today.The cut was matched by Canada Trust.That\u2019s the fifth quarter-point drop in prime in a week.The rate stood at 8.75 per cent on Dec.14.Prime, which is the rate banks usually charge their best corporate customers, sets the tone for rates on other loans and deposits.Bank officials said an increasingly muscular Canadian dollar was behind Monday's decision.\u2018\u2018After all, the reason interest rates backed up in September was because the Canadian dollar was weakening,\u201d said Bryan Griffiths, senior vice- president treasury at the Royal Bank.The dollar climbed 0.48 cents US Monday to 78.90.It was trading above 79 cents at one point Monday.The Bank of Canada had forced up interest rates in late September and again in November to support the sinking dollar.The prime reached a recent peak of 9.75 per cent on Nov.25 at some banks.IMPROVING OUTLOOK The recent strengthening in the dollar can be attributed to the improving outlook for the Canadian economy, said Barry Davenport, senior vice- president treasury group for the Bank of Montreal.Statistics Canada said Thursday that Canada\u2019s merchandise trade surplus was $1.7 billion in October, the largest surplus in nearly five years.Those trade figures suggest \u2018the currency will remain relatively stable to stronger over the short term,\u201d Davenport said.In addition, Canadian interest rates continue to be about four percentage points above U.S.rates, which is helping to draw money into Canada and bolster the currency.Griffiths said the increased selling of Canadian dollars that is often seen at the end of the Creditors want Malenfant in bankruptcy By John Davidson MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Major creditors of financially troubled businessman Raymond Malenfant are demanding that he be placed in bankruptcy immediately.A Quebec Superior Court judge has to decide by Christmas on the fate of the 63-year- old real estate magnate who owes over $150 million to 1,000 creditors including Quebec and Ottawa.Malenfant has been dodging bankruptcy for almost two years.\u2018\u2018He reminds me of the great escape artist, Harry Houdini, the way he wiggles out of ban- kruptey,\u201d said one banker who has been trying for months to take possession of a Malenfant office tower in Montreal to pay off a debt.Through a variety of legal techniques, Malenfant has managed to hang on to most of his real estate \u2014 despite losing control of five hotels, including the Fort Garry in Winnipeg.That hotel was bought back Federal budget: Less When is a budget cut really a cut?When it comes to the federal government, answering that question can be like unscrambling an omelette.Finance Minister Don Ma- zankowski said in December the federal government will save almost $8 billion from planned spending between now and March 1995.That sounds like big cuts.But the federal government will actually end up spending more money, not less.The key words are cuts from planned spending, which already included increases.Here\u2019s what the federal government did: ® Reduced operating budgets in November \u2014 not including wages \u2014 by two per cent for the entire current fiscal year; these savings have to come from the last four months of 1992-93.e Reduced non-wage operating budgets by three per cent in 1993-94.That's a three per cent cut from planned spending, not a further reduction from this year\u2019s two per cent cute Froze salaries for two years from the Governor General to public servants, the RCMP and Armed Forces.e Cut government grants and subsidies by 10 per cent.e Changed Unemployment Insurance by freezing average benefits and cutting benefits for people

at the same time to stimulate the economy.Total: $1.14 billion.That leaves net cuts of $1.65 billion from planned spending next year.Instead of spending $119.4 billion on programs, as the government planned in its February 1992 budget, the government will now spend $117.75 billion under changes in Ma- zankowski\u2019s economic statement.That\u2019s an increase, not a cut, from what the government expects to spend in 1992-93.Current Account By Larry Welsh The Canadian Press Mazankowski's statement showed spending on programs \u2014 which doesn\u2019t include interest on the government\u2019s debt \u2014 will total $115.5 billion this fiscal year.So, despite the latest round of cuts, government program spending will still increase $2.25 billion or two per cent in the next fiscal year.In the topsy turvy world of government, cuts end up meaning smaller increases.\u201cIt is cuts from planned spending,\u201d explained Gilles Loiselle, president of the Treasury Board, which manages government spending.But in total?\u201cIt will be a small increase, yes,\u201d Loiselle said in an interview.Even though government spending will rise next year, many Canadians will have to share some budget pain.First will be 390,000 federal government workers who get no wage increase for two years.Treasury Board also expects to eliminate up to 4,000 public service jobs.That doesn\u2019t necessarily mean layoffs, since as many as 10,000 public servants leave their job every year.\u201cThere is no question the latest cuts will hurt considerably,\u201d Loiselle said.\u2018You may even have to close offices and things like that here and there.\u201d He wasn t more specific.But Loiselle does expect some ne- last February by a group headed by Malenfant\u2019s son-in-law, Benoit Paradis.Malenfant\u2019s latest move was to place himself in bankruptcy \u2014 although not the kind his creditors had in mind.On November 30, the same day as the new Bankruptcy Act became law, Malenfant applied for protection against his creditors.The new law allows a bankrupt business to seek shelter from its creditors while it comes up with a financial restructuring plan.Last Friday, Malenfant\u2019s lawyers informed Quebec Superior Court that the company will file a new financial restructuring plan early next year.Judge Rene Letarte then gave them until January 21 to come up with such a plan.Led by Revenue Quebec \u2014 to which Malenfant owes $4.4 million in back taxes \u2014 a number of large creditors have petitioned Letarte to disallow the 30- day grace period and place Ma- lenfant in bankruptcy now.1S more, more or less \u201c1 don\u2019t think it will be massive enough to have an overall impact.\u201d gative political reaction to reductions in government

Pr CONTINUING EDUCATION (819) 822-9670 GET INTO ® Tax Status 6 Tax Credits thern Finland, Sweden, Norway and Russia for 6,000 years, were semi-nomadic hunters and fishermen before they began herding reindeer.Today many of them earn money by taking tourists for rides in sleighs pulled by reindeer.But they know the animals as the difference between survival and death in the cold North, in legend and in fact.According to one folk-tale, the sun god\u2019s daughter came to Earth, married a Lapp and brought a herd of reindeer as her dowry.Through the union, the northern tribes learned to tame the reindeer, tradition says.\u201cThe reindeer was conside- \u2018red to be a brother \u2014 a living, thinking, feeling creature,\u201d said Louise Backman, a Lapp who teaches religion at the University of Stockholm.\u2018\u2018The reindeer had a soul, and it offered itself to be killed so that people could eat and be warinly clothed.b Reindedr \u2018also were sacrificed to ensure favorable hunting and good fortune.\u201cAfter a reindeer was eaten, its bones had to be left in a special place and be offered to the gods.so that a new reindeer would grow,\u201d Outakoski said.EVIL SPIRITS Lapps also believed evil spirits and giants roamed the frozen wilds in the dark time when the sun does not rise above the horizon.\u201cWe were told to stay indoors and beware of a giant that would grab children,\u201d said Backman, 65, whose father herded reindeer in northern Sweden.+ Before conversion to Christianity in the 18th and 19th centuries, the Lapps practised no Rudolph shamanism, the belief that good and evil spirits pervade the Earth.They believed their shamans, or wise men, were able to commune with gods and spirits, and that the shamans used reindeer to settle scores.\u201cThey put their alter egos into large reindeer bucks that battled, sometimes to the death,\u201d Outakoski said.If the Lapps found a dead shaman, they assumed his spirit had been in a reindeer battle and lost.If the tribesmen saw two spectacular bucks fighting, it was assumed that two shamans had possessed the animals for a duel.ORDERED KILLED Christian missionaries told Lapps their beliefs were satanic, and some zealots ordered shamans killed.\u2018The Lapp religion was strictly forbidden and much of their culture was wiped out,\u201d said Samuli Aikio, a scholar of the Finnish lanbdade \u2018They were even forbidden to sing their chants.\u201d Shamanism appears to have survived it all.In November, researchers found sites where modern Lapps had offered money and reindeer antlers to the spirits of nature.\u2018There is some evidence of a small revival in ancient Lapp beliefs and religion, and I have heard of practising shamans,\u201d Outakoski said.Backman said her people retain the ancient beliefs.\u201cI ciearly remember how, as a little girl, we were in awe of men with shamanistic powers,\u2019\u2019 she said.\u2018\u2018If you did not respect them they could give you a

old, is slowly dying from Alzheimer's disease.This beautiful person, once a talented and professional businesswoman, has been so tragically affected by her illness that she can no longer dress, bathe or feed herself.She is incontinent and cannot recognize me even though I care for her every day.Many times at work and in social situations, I hear such comments as, \"I can't remember anything.I think I'm getting Alzheimer's.\" This is usually followed by laughter and more jokes about forgetfulness associated with this cruel illness.I don't understand how people can be so insensitive.When my cousin was stricken with breast cancer, people didn't laugh when they learned about it.Mocking doesn't occur when a person has a heart attack or suffers a stroke.Why should Alzheimer's be different?Alzheimer's is the cruelest of diseases.It forces families to watch helplessly as loved ones slowly drift out of reach.So far, no treatment or cure is available.The hurt and pain is further compounded by the insensitivity of people who make jokes about this dreadful disease that is killing my mother.Ann, please urge everyone who reads your column to be more sensitive to the impact of Alzheimer's.Help them understand that jokes about this horrible illness are not funny.They are cruel.- NO NAME, NO CITY, PLEASE, I AM EVERYWHERE DEAR FRIEND: You've written a letter that will hit many readers between the eyes.Thank you for an important contribution.Those who want to know more about this devastating illness should send a self-addressed, stamped envelope to: Alzheimer's Association,

college-educated male with a good job.I am an excellent cook and a good housekeeper.1 don't need a woman to perform these chores.In fact, I enjoy keeping house.Cooking is my hobby and I'm good at it.I'm amazed at the number of women who possess a high degree of intellect but cannot boil an egg and do not know how to clean properly.These women are helpless in the kitchen and pigs in the bathroom.This is nothing to brag about, no matter how much education they have.Being incompetent is not funny nor is it a badge of honor.There are a great many men like me who are better at traditional female jobs than the women they marry.Since you fail to recognize us, Ann, I decided to bring it to your attention.- RAY IN PA.DEAR RAY: Consider yourself \"recognized.\" I cannot argue

Giving in to the relentless \u2018\u2018I want, I want\u201d at Christmas can be more harmful to children than having them find an empty space under the tree, says a child expert.\u201cChildren will always want things and most will whine to get it, but we must keep things in moderation and the key is to set limitations,\u201d says child psychologist Joan MacDon- nell.Giving into a child\u2019s constant demands for material goods, especially at Christmas, will only reinforce self-satisfying behavior, she says.The child will tend to grow up expecting it all for nothing.The adult world is full of limits and the sooner the child understands that, the better adjusted he will be to face the realities of the world, suggests MacDonnell.\u201cThe point is, as parents, to nip the greed in the bud.Good parenting starts with Day 1.\u201d She says the biggest problem parents face is starting on the wrong foot when it comes to Christmas.\u201cWe often encourage the behavior of offering the children carte blanche: \u2018What do you want for Christmas?\u2019 The child will take this as an open invitation to waltz through Santa's workshop with a very large shopping basket.\u201d The trick is to establish immediately the parameters of Santa\u2019s potential.MacDonnell admits it\u2019s not always an easy task in today\u2019s consumer-oriented society.Parents face a huge competitor to their child-rearing goals: television.\u2018\u201cThe advertisers on TV know exactly what they are doing, and they do it very well.\u201d she says.\u2018\u2018More than anything else, they have the power to influence consumer behavior of children right through to adulthood.\u201d On the average.Canadian children watch three to four hours of television a day.In one year, they view 20.000 commercials.By the time they're 20 years old, they will have seen more than a million commercials.\u201cIt is understandable that flashy TV ads are going to attract the child's desires \u2014 that\u2019s what they are meant to.They sell cereal with magic and toys with simulated action.Then the products are reinforced by the programs.\u201cOf course the child will say I want that magic too.\u201d But she says that when the child becomes so obsessed with the desire for some object that he indulges in hysterics and crying fits, then TV isn't to blame.**This is indicative of a more serious problem.\u201d This behavior suggests a lack of attention is being paid to the child.In his search for acceptance.dignity and respect.the child has transfixed the solution of his needs to

every Whaler goal MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Sean Burke got a chance to show up Patrick Roy in the Forum and grasped it.Burke made 36 saves as the Hartford Whalers upset the Montreal Canadiens 52 in the NHL on Monday night.\u201cIt was a very big win,\u201d said Burke.\u2018\u2018We\u2019ve been playing with more consistency lately and tonight was a big test.\u201d Eric Weinrich, Terry Yake and Pat Verbeek scored in a 1:52 span early in the third period to decide the match.Verbeek and Michael Nylan- der scored in the second period for the Whalers, fourth in the Adams Division at 10-20-3.The Whalers, who were coming off a 4-4 tie with the New York Rangers, are playing their best hockey of the season and are 2-1-2 in their last five games.Montreal stormed the Hartford zone early, but Burke made 16 saves in a scoreless first period.\u2018\u201c\u201cMontreal\u2019s a good team and we knew they\u2019d come out strong in the first 10 minutes,\u201d said Burke.\u2018We felt if we could get by that, we\u2019d be all right.\u2018\u201cThey got a lot of good shots on the power play, but they we- ren\u2019t outplaying us at even strength.\u201d Backup goaltender Andre Laumann By Neil Stevens The Canadian Press Silken Laumann is leaning towards a continued commitment to rowing that could put her boat on the starting line at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta.\u201cUntil I start competing again, I won\u2019t know for sure about another Olympics, but I feel as if I may continue on that far,\u201d Laumann said Monday after being named Canada\u2019s female athlete of the year for the Racicot was scheduled to start the game, but Roy pulled rank on him.Roy felt he didn\u2019t need the rest with a four-game Christmas break starting after Montreal plays host to the New York Islanders on Wednesday.The move backfired as Roy turned in one of his weaker efforts.\u201cI don\u2019t think Roy should be the focus,\u201d coach Jacques De- mers said.\u2018\u2018AIl he wanted to do was play the game.\u2018\u201cWe all know how great he is.The team lost tonight, you can\u2019t blame one guy.\u201d Brian Bellows and Mathieu Schneider scored for Montreal, the division leader at 21-11-4.The Canadiens are 5-5-1 in their last 11 games.Montreal outshot the Whalers 38-31 before 16,449 spectators, who booed the Canadiens with each Whaler goal.Penguins 7 Nordiques 4 PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Larry Murphy scored twice in a sea- son-best five-goal second period that carried the Pittsburgh Penguins to a 7-4 win Monday night over the Quebec Nordiques.Mario Lemieux had four assists and 11 different Pittsburgh players had at least one point as the Penguins improved their home record to 14-2-2.The Penguins had scored four goals in a period seven times this season.Quebec\u2019s 3-0-1 road streak ended as the Penguins extended their unbeaten streak against the Nordiques to 6-0-2.Quebec hasn\u2019t beaten Pittsburgh since Feb.26, 1990.Joe Sakic scored twice and Mikhail Tatarinov and Claude Lapointe scored once each for Quebec.: of Washington\u2019s effort.The Capitals dozed throughout this game while Ottawa fore- checked aggressively.It was Senators hockey at its best \u2014 making the game NHL action at its worst.Jody Hull, Dave Archibald and Mike Peluso had the Ottawa goals while Dimitri Khri- sich and Pat Elynuik also scored for Washington.The Capitals, who outshot Ottawa 28-23, improved their record to 19-15-2.Capitals 4 Senators 3 Rangers 3 Devils 0 OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The Washington Capitals did the impossible Monday night, actually stealing a 4-3 NHL victory from the hapless Ottawa Senators.The Senators, with a record of 3-30-3, haven\u2019t had much of case for complaining they were robbed this season, but the Capitals turned the trick on two goals 16 seconds apart midway through the third period.Al Iafrate scored the winner at 9:38, moments after Mike Ridley tied the score on a brilliant deke that left Ottawa goalkeeper Peter Sidorkiewicz lunging for thin air.Those goals \u2014 and two earlier identical power-play markers \u2014 were the sum total EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J.(AP) \u2014 John Vanbiesbrouck stopped 35 shots for his second shutout of the season and the New York Rangers posted a rare win in New Jersey by defeating the Devils 3-0 Monday night.The victory was only the Rangers\u2019 fifth in 16 games at the Brendan Byrne Arena dating to March 1988.The scenario is just as bad for the Devils across the river.They are 1-9-3 in their last 12 trips to Madison Square Garden and play in New York on Wednesday.Vanbiesbrouck and Adam Graves were the difference Monday as the Rangers won for voted female athlete of 1992 compete in the Olympics, I feel as if I have left something unfinished.\u201cThere is still something I want to accomplish.\u201d Her dream remains one of winning Olympic gold.She had to settle for bronze at the 1992 Games last August in Spain, although she clearly was a winner in the eyes of anybody who followed the story of her remarkable comeback from a broken leg.Laumann received 50 first- second year-in-a row by Thea place votes and a total of 205 Canadian Press.\u2018\u2018\u2019Even though last summer, in the end, everything worked out well and I was able to HTAI& points in CP\u2019s annual poll of sports editors and directors from across the country.Three points are awarded for a first- place vote, two for second and one for third.Kerrin Lee-Gartner, who last February in France became the first Canadian to win an Olympic downhill skiing gold medal, was second with 28 first-place votes and 169 points.Sylvie Frechette, who had to settle for Olympic silver in Barcelona in synchronized swimming because a judge punched in the wrong score for one of her compulsory routines, was third with 119 points, _ including 19 first-place votes.- Tennis player Patricia Hy, hockey goaitender Manon Rhéaume and golfer Dawn Coe-Jones also received first- Laumann\u2019s achievement came against all odds.Last May 16, she suffered a broken right leg and severed calf muscle in a pre-race collision with a pairs boat at a regatta in Essen, Germany.Doctors told her to forget about the Olympics.On Aug.2, Laumann, after undergoing five operations and requiring a cane to get around, won the bronze medal in the singles sculls final on Lake Ba- nyoles outside Barcelona.The Canadian team was so inspired by her determined effort that she was asked to carry the flag in the Games\u2019 closing ceremonies.Athletes not shielded from war\u2019s horror By Larry Siddons NEW YORK (AP) \u2014

U.S.Olympic Committee has offered to take in part of the luge team at its training centre in Lake Placid, N.Y.and is about to sign an exchange agreement with the Bosnian Olympic committee for broader training programs.Germany and Turkey also have agreed to provide training facilities for Bosnian athletes.More countries are being sought for the program.Other countries have sent athletes and coaches to USOC training centres in the past.But the Bosnian exchange, expected to be formalized early next year, comes under very unusual circumstances, said Mike Moran, the committee\u2019s spokesman.\u201cIt is unique because of the civil war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and the danger that the athletes face there,\u201d\u201d Moran said in a telephone interview from the USOC headquarters
