Quebec, you will bear the brunt of federal cuts to unemployment insurance, says Bloc Québécois MP Francine Lalonde.The federal government will drain $1.4 billion in benefits a year out of Atlantic Canada and Quebec, indicates a government memo sent to directors of federal employment offices and obtained by Lalonde.The UI cuts in these two regions account for almost 60 per cent of the money the government expects to save by making it tougher to collect UI This is the first time the regional impact of these budget measures has been released publicly.Lalonde accused the Liberal government Thursday of trying to hide these harsh impacts with small projects like a New Brunswick plan announced this week that will offer a minimüm annual income to about 1000 volunteers.\u201cHow can the government be taken seriously when it says it wants to create jobs when in fact all it\u2019s doing is attacking the Jobless and covering up its intentions with the type of program announced for New Brunswick?\u201d she asked in the Commons.\u201cThe old ways were not getting people back to work,\u201d Human Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy replied.\u201cTo do that, we have to make changes.\u201d The government previously said it would save $2.4 billion a year from unemployment insurance in 1994-95 and 1995-96.But it didn\u2019t say how much would be saved in each region.The memo obtained by Lalon- de showed the government will cut each year: ® $630 million in Atlantic Canada.® 3735 million in Quebec.® $560 million in Ontario.® $430 million in Western Watt: \u2018I

the Great Whale project, says the president of Makivik.The timing is right for a deal and the Inuit hold the bargaining power, said Senator Charlie Watt, head of the organization which represents northern Quebec\u2019s 7000 Inuit.A copy of the arrangement leaked a week ago said the utility will pay the Inuit more than $500 million over 50 years, in exchange for their accepting the giant power project.Watt, however, said the package is actually worth $1 billion \u2014 and he doesn't consider that enough.\u201cI know there\u2019s no way it comes to fair compensation,\u201d Watt said in aninterview outside Makivik\u2019s current week-long annual meeting.\u201cI don\u2019t feel it\u2019s a fair market deal.\u201d However, Watt and the other delegates were reluctant to elaborate.\u201cThe decision was made already to sign it,\u201d he said.\u201cUntil it gets signed, we're not saying anything more.\u201d Watt suggested the Belcher Islands follow the example of the northern Quebec Inuit by negotiating now with Hydro-Quebec to protect their economic future.The Hudson's Bay islands are under the jurisdiction of the Northwest Territories but will be affected by Great Whale.Under the tentative agreement, Makivik promises not take any legal action to \u201cprevent, delay or modify\u201d the controversial $13.3 billion-dollar hydroelectric project.While Hydro-Quebec faces obstacles in selling to U.S.customers, hydro power is the way of the future, said Watt, who has headed Makivik for most of the organization\u2019s existence.\u201cMy projections in regard to technology \u2014 which have always been right \u2014 is that 20 to 30 years down the line, Hydro will be one of the largest producers,\u201d Watt said.\u201cHow much longer will cars be run by gas?\u201d Sessions on Hydro-Quebec negotiations and related matters have been closed to the news » media.In several instances, interpretation of proceedings has also been halted in mid- discussion.Delegates from communities that will be directly affected by Great Whale, including Anthony Ittushat, mayor of Kuujjuaraa- pik, have also refused to comment on the tentative pact.The leaked copy of the deal called for a $30-million fund, managed by Hydro and Inuit representatives, to ease the project's environmental impact.It said the fund would go for things like fish-spawning grounds, waterfowl management and monitoring effects of reservoir flooding and river diversions.The utility would spend more than $15 million on new roads and promoting Inuit employment.The deal would provide a welcome financial cushion for Maki- vik, created under the 1975 James Bay and Northern Quebec\u2019 Agreement to represent Inuit in 14 communities along the Hudson and Ungava Bay coasts.Makivik\u2019s use of $6 million in capital funds has come under criticism at the organization's meeting, which has drawn about 80 delegates.Charlie Watt wearing too many hats?By Jane Gyorgy SALLUIT (CP) \u2014 Quebec Inuit leader Charlie Watt is fighting to keep his supporters\u2019 confidence after questions were raised this week about his activities as senator, businessman and head of a major development fund.In a major article in Macleans magazine, it was suggested there may be a conflict-of-interest in Watt being head of the Inuit\u2019s Makivik corporation as well as a senator and private , businessman.\u201ci But Watt said Thursday his critics have it all wrong.\u201cI'm going to take on these people and confront them.\u201d .And Rosemary Kuptana, leader of Canada\u2019s national Inuit organization, reiterated her support for Watt in a speech broadcast on radio across Northern Quebec.\u201cI believe this story will have an impact on Nunavik, but also on the federal government and possibly with industry,\u201d Kupta- na said.Watt is up for re-election as Makivik president Friday.Quebec\u2019s 7,000 Inuit will have a choice between Watt and community leader Simeunie Nalakturuk.In his pre-eiection appeal, also broadcast across northern Quebec, Watt denied that his Senate job conflicts with his role in Makivik because of the undemanding nature of senatorial work.At the same time, he said his sitting in the upper chamber helps the Inuit.\u201cI'm part of a system where I can lobby government for you,\u201d he said.Watt also tackled the thorny issue of the fancy house Makivik purchased for him in a pricey suburb of Montreal.Because Inuit in northern Quebec are not allowed to own their own homes under the James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, there has been widespread criticism of the luxuriousness of Watt's abode.But Watt defended the pur- ! chase saying that the riverside stone house was an investment that has already increased in value.Watt also finally made public the salary he earns as Makivik president \u2014 $120,000 \u2014 and claimed that none of the businesses he hasbeen involved with ha made money.\u201cI've never taken what I'm not entitled to,\u201d said Watt.\u201cI'm not lying.Whoever has tried to defraud anyone will be found out.\u201d : Even Nalakturuk, Watt's opponent in the campaign for the presidency, seemed worried about the effect that negative press might have on Makivik, Eastern Townships Bank awaits Sherbrooke fine arts mus SHERBROOKE - Sherbooke\u2019s fine arts museum has picked up a provincial grant of $708,900 towards the renovation of the old Eastern Townships Bank, the museum\u2019s future home.Culture and Communciations Minister Liza Frulla joined museum president Michel Jon- cas and members of the museum\u2019s board of directors Thursday to announce the grant, which will be used to cover part of the $2.4-million cost of moving the museum\u2019s collection out of its current location at the Seminai- re de Sherbrooke.For nearly three years now the museum has been involved in a public fund raising campaign to move its collection to more modern, larger quarters.The campaign, which is ongoing, has raised $320,000 so far.The City of Sherbrooke has already promised $240,00 and the federal Department of Communications has said it will chip in another $320,000.\u201cIt\u2019s an important project that will have an effect on the entire region,\u201d Frulla said during a small ceremony inside the chapel of Sherbrooke\u2019s archbishopric, which her ministry has recently classified as a cultural- heritage site for its richly detailed woodwork and religious murals.Until a year and a half ago the old Eastern Townships bank building was used as a branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce.Museum president Joncas said the interior of the building must be changed to accomodate the museum\u2019s collection of paintings, but that the Getting _its share Brigham BRIGHAM(SM)-Voters in this municipality will elect a new mayor and three new councillors in a by-election slated for May 22.The municipality has been under provincial tutorship since Mayor David Shufelt and three town councillors resigned in January.Andre Leroux, one of the three remaining councillors, resigned Monday in order to run for mayor leaving four council seats open for election.Leroux said he had been asked by many people to run for the top job and decided to make his intentions known early.\u201cThere is a lot of work to be by-election in May done and we want to ensure that Brigham gets its share of the federal government\u2019s infrastructure program,\u201d Leroux said in an interview Thursday.Brigham\u2019s share of the program is around $300,000 over 2 years.The municipality, Quebec and Ottawa would each contribute one third of the funds towards the creation of jobs related to improving infrastructures in the town.Leroux said he\u2019s been in contact with others in the town who are willing to serve on the new council.\u201cWe would not be a team, but we would work as a team towards the same objecti- historic architecure of the structure \u2014 known as Second Empire style \u2014 will remain intact.Work on the building could begin before summer, but Joncas said the museum is still waiting to hear what sort of funding it can expect from the Regional Development Council.In a friendly appeal to the Conseil régional de dévellope- ment, which was echoed by both Frulla and Sherbrooke MNA André Hamel, Joncas said \u201cthere is no doubt in my mind the CRD will realize that the people of the Eastern Townships will benefit greatly from this project.\u201d Michel Joncas, president of the Sherbrooke Museum of Fine Arts, hopes to innaugurate the museum\u2019s new digs at the old Eastern Townships Bank in 1995.ves,\u2019 he said.\u201cEach one would be independent, but we have the same way of working and the same goals.\u201d Candidates who have already expressed an interest in running for office in the May by-election are: Sylvie Tremblay in Seat Number 2, Nicole Paquette, Seat Number 4, Camil Levesque wants Seat Number 5 and Nicole St-Pierre is prepared to take over from Andre Leroux in Seat Number 6.If no other candidates present their names for election, the new mayor and councillors would be elected by acclamation.À new council will be elected in November, 1995 during a general election.se 2\u2014The RECORD \u2014Friday, March 25, 1991 Culture and Communications

has sent taxpayers bill for $13.5 million to cover 1993 losses on its only rail link to Atlantic Canada, federal officials confirmed Thursday.The compensation claim is to erase red ink the company suffered on the Canadian section of its 674-kilometre line from Sherbrooke to Saint John N.B., passing through Maine.Last summer, the National Transportation Agency gave CP Rail permission to abandon the Canadian section of the line and two smaller lines by August this year, though cabinet later extended the deadline to Jan.1, 1995.Under federal rules, railways can apply for compensation to cover all losses from the date of their successful line- Hyundai layoff fallout Granby feels plant loss pinch By Sharon McCully KNOWLTON-Granby Mayor Michel Duchesneau will feel the pinch of lay-offs at Hyundai personally as well as in his capacity as mayor of the neighbouring city of Granby.Duchesneau,a real-estate developer in private life, built 55 homes in the Township of Shefford in 1991 to acco- modate workers of Bromont\u2019s industrial park.Twenty of the 55 homes in Duchesneau\u2019s development known as Boise Estriade were purchased by Hyundai employees.\u201cYou might say I have a special sensitivity for the plight of the workers,\u201d Duchesneau said in an interview Thursday.Duchesneau said Granby will Raynald Fauteux says the renovation subsidies will help the construction business also feel the fall-out from the layoffs.\u201cAbout 50 per cent of the workers reside in Granby,\u201d he said.\u201cThere will be an effect not only on housing but on the entire commercial and business sector,\u201d the mayor said, adding about $20 million in related economic activity will be lost to the town as a result of the lay-offs.\u201cThe first priority is to find a solution to the problem that former employees will face when their unemployment insurance benefits run out in six months,\u201d Duchesneau said.A joint committee established following Wednesday's meeting with government officials in Quebec City will begin immediately to examine ways to assist abandonment application \u2014 in this case Feb.24, 1993 \u2014 to the actual abandonment.CP Rail has submitted a bill for the first instalment of those losses.\u201cThats only for our Canadian operations,\u201d spokesman Tim Humphreys said from Montreal.\u201cIt doesn\u2019t include losses that we're experiencing in the state of Maine.\u201d the 841 laid-off workers.Duchesneau said a second committee comprised of representatives from industry, government, and labor union will focus on finding a new use for the $400-million plant.In spite of disappointment over the Hyundai closure, Duchesneau had only praise for the South Korean car manufacturer.\u201cWhat other multinational would have continued to compensate employees during a lay-off,\u201d Ducesneau asked.He said while its true Hyundai secured loan guarantees from Ottawa and Quebec, the company also generated some $80 million in income tax revenues by providing jobs.But there's no guarantee Ottawa will pay the claim, since there\u2019s a dispute over whether the line should be classed as a mainline or branch.The federal government normally compensates only for branch-line losses.CP calls the Atlantic line a branch even though it is the railway\u2019s only link between eastern and central Canada.The railway argues that the link can only be regarded as a branch line because it carries so little traffic.The \u201crail line from Sherbrooke to Saint John does not serve the internal transportation needs of the nation,\u201d said a Feb.10 letter from CP Rail lawyers to the agency.- \u201cIt does not serve a major region, population or industrial concentration of Canada.\u201d The agency declined to rule on the issue during often- acrimonious public hearings held last June in Saint John and Sherbrooke.The Transport Department last year estimated 1993 losses on the line would be $12 million, and that losses would deepen this year as customers bailed out before the abandonment.CP Rail is still awaiting permission from the U.S.Interstate Commerce Commission to abandon the 324-kilometre section of track that crosses Maine.Should CP abandon the line between Sherbrooke and Saint John, then Via Rail passenger service to eastern Canada would also be cut.The future of Via Rail is being challenged by the grass roots group Rural Dignity.The group says that it will organize its own cross\u2014Canada hearings on proposed cuts to the passenger service if Transport Minister Doug Young doesn\u2019t.National co-ordinator Cynthia Patterson says the group, founded eight years ago to lobby for small towns and fight Tory- ordered cuts in public services, has to go after the Liberals now.She said Thursday the Conservative-appointed directors of Via Rail didn\u2019t have any good ideas to get more passengers on trains \u201cand the Liberals didn\u2019t seem interested.\u201d Young said two weeks ago he has no intention of holding a public inquiry on Via Rail\u2019s proposed reductions.The government is expected to make a final decision on the rail cuts by summer.Transport 2000, a national pro-rail lobby group, has also called for an inquiry to allay the fears of the travelling public.\u201cPeople all across the country are scared they are going to lose passenger rail service,\u201d said president David Glastonbury.He said the Liberals vigo- Taking a bite out of the black market Sherbrooke gets SHERBROOKE (DW) \u2014 The City of Sherbrooke and the provincial government hope to take a bite out of the booming black market in construction by offering to help cover the cost of private home renovations.The provincial housing corporation, la Société d\u2019Habitation du Québec (SHQ) announced Thursday that it will pay as much as 20'ger cent of the cost of renovations to Sherbrooke homes built before 1981 under its Accent on Renovation program.\u201cWe expect a very high rate of participation,\u201d said Pierre Lea- mire, spokesperson for the city\u2019s department of permits and ins- \u2018It opens a lot of doors\u2019 Education gives dropouts a new lease on life By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 When Linda Mitchell dropped out of school at 15, she didn\u2019t expect that more than 20 years later she would make the dean\u2019s list at Champlain College.And when Albert Gallagher dropped out of high school to join the army at 16, he never imagined he'd be back in school some day considering a career in social work.Yet years after dropping out, both are back in school with ambitious plans for the future.Mitchell, 36, who left Richmond Regional High School when she was 15, said she dropped out because she suffered from low self-esteem.Having moved from Montreal when she was in Grade 5, she still did not fit in and had few friends.\u201cI enjoyed the academics, but it was other people\u2019s opinions of me that made me give up,\u201d she said, adding that other students treated her differently because she wasn\u2019t in the same social class.\u201cIt\u2019s a small community and they don\u2019t accept strangers very well,\u201d she said.\u201cThey weren't very receptive.\u201d MANUAL LABOR Her parents signed her work permit, necessary because she was under 16 year of age, and she soon got a job working as a laborer first at Brown Shoes.She worked at a series of manual jobs till she turned 19 when she married and started a family.Mitchell thought about going back to school a few years ago when the Eastern Township School Board was considering starting an adult education program in the Richmond area, but she said there wasn\u2019t enough demand.While the program existed in Sherbrooke, it was too far to travel with young kids at home, she added.\u201cIt wasn\u2019t as important for me as seeing my kids grow up and seeing them do all their firsts,\u201d she said.But two years ago, after returning to the job market as a housekeeper, Mitchell decided to realize a longtime ambition and go back to school and enrolled at the Adult Education Centre in Sherbrooke.Within a year she had obtained her high school diploma and was on her way to study language and literature at Champlain College and making the dean\u2019s list.HONORS ROLL \u201cI wasn\u2019t going to make the dean\u2019s list,\u201d she said.\u201cI was just going to do my best.\u201d Now she\u2019s looking beyond Champlain, but she\u2019s still deciding on a career.\u201cI haven't got it pinned down yet, but I'm enjoying the opportunities I get from the things I'm learning,\u201d she said.\u201cIt opens a lot of doors.\u201d Meanwhile English, journalism and theatre are her main interests at Champlain.\u201cThose are the things that heave really motivated me,\u201d she said.\u201cThere things that really pique my interest and motivate me and if something does that there\u2019s a really good reason.\u201d Albert Gallagher was enrolled in graphic arts trade school at Richmond Regional when he decided to call it quits.\u201cI was headstrong, I knew everything better than anyone else and I was going to join the army,\u201d he explained.He was 16 and all he needed to join the army was Grade 8 and to be 17.DROPPED OUT \u201cSo in the fall of 1975, I pections, which will oversee the renovation program.\u201cWe know we're at a point in the city where alot of homeowners would like to do renovations but just need a helping hand.\u201d According to the city\u2019s own calculations, there are 8,828 buildings in the city whose owners qualify for assistance.Most of these are single-family dwellings, but duplexes, triplexes and even some small apartment buildings would qualify.The one basic eligibility requirement is that the owner live in the building he or she wishes to renovate.Buildings with up to five domiciles will be considered eligible for a $1000 grant as long walked in and dropped out.\u201d Although he tried to enlist right away, it took four years before he could join the armed forces.When he got there, they trained him to be a mechanic.However, his army career was cut short due to a problem with alcohol and drugs.\u201cThey sobered me up and got me clean then the took me and two others and used us as an example,\u201d he said.Following his dismissal from the armed forces, Gallagher worked at odd jobs.\u201cI worked as a mover, a security guard and a cashier at a dépanneur,\u201d he said.\u201cI had 20 jobs in 20 years and I never had the same job twice \u2014 all them for minimum wage doing manual labor.\u201d Gallagher wasn\u2019t very satisfied with his life.\u201cI got fed up working for minimum wage and never getting ahead,\u201d he said.\u201cSeasonal work doesn\u2019t pay the bills.\u201d So Gallagher decided to go back to school, but \u201cI couldn't see myself sitting with all those kids.\u201d And he couldn\u2019t afford the drive from his home in Valcourt to Sherbrooke every day.DIPLOMA BOUND Now on a manpower training course, he\u2019s at the Adult Education Centre on his way to finishing his high school diploma this spring and applying to Dawson College in the fall.\u201cI came here to get my Grade 4 and go to trade school, but once I got here I was encouraged by the staff,\u201d he said.\u201cThat's why I decided to get my diploma and I didn\u2019t take me long to decide what I want to do.\u201d Gallagher\u2019s hoping to get into the social work program at Dawson \u2014 a program which accepts only 44 students out more than 120 applicants.> renovation break as the work is valued at $5000 or more per apartment and is carried out by a licensed building contractor.Owners who live in single- dwelling homes evaluated by the city at $100,000 or less have the choice between the SHQ\u2019s cash grant or a three-year, interest- free loan of $4,000 and a $500 rebate.\u2018 .Quebecers spend an estimated $4 billion a year on home renovation, but a large and growing segment of the market is underground and unregulated.Raynald Fauteux, regional president of the Quebec Association of Homebuilders, couldnt say how much impact the pro- \u201cThe way I look at it, when I got sobered up and cleaned up there were people there to help me,\u201d he said.\u201cNow it\u2019s my turn to help.\u201d Despite tough entrance requirements, Gallagher thinks he\u2019s got a shot.His grades are good \u2014 his lowest mark is 71 and some of his marks are in the 90s \u2014 and he\u2019s determined.FAMILY SUPPORT Both Gallagher and Mitchell are getting a lot of support from their families and friends.\u201cThey encoourage me a whole lot,\u201d Mitchell said.\u201cThey say do whatever you want to do, you can be whatever you ant to be.\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s nice.They're proud of me gram will have on the licensed construction business in Sherbrooke, but \u201ceven if we get only a small percentage of the work now being done under the table, we'll recover a \u2018ot of money,\u201d he said.In order to apply for assistance, qualified homeowners must first have a written estimate of the cost ofthe renovations from a licensed contractor, a copy of their muncipal tax bill for 1993 and a copy of the contractor\u2019s license.Further information on the renovation program can be had by calling Sherbrooke\u2019s department of permits and inspections at 821-5905.When Albert Gallagher and Linda Mitchell dropped out of school they never imagined that they would one day be on the Dean\u2019s List at Champlain College.The full story on page three.RECORD/GRANT SIMEON and they let me know it.Even the children think it\u2019s really neat.\u201d Gallagher said that years ago his parents encouraged him not to drop out.\u201cThey tried to talk me out of it,\u201d he said.\u201cThey told me I'd regret it.\u201d \u201cI'm the oldest kid,\u201d he said.\u201c- My kid sister got her

major cuts to services in cities across the country.Wayne, former mayor of Saint John, said the document calls for an end to the Montreal-Saint John-Halifax train which runs three times a week.The train would stop instead at Moncton: and passengers would be bused on to Saint John.However, service to Young's northern New Brunswick riding of Gloucester would not be affected.Patterson said the federal government \u201chas no sense of responsibility for the environment or the people who live in rural areas.\u201cWe need the kind of economic facts and figures that public hearings can bring

schools, that business and government still discriminate against anglos even when they are 100 per cent bilingual, nevertheless I believe that a totally uncompromising hard line will do us more harm than good.The Equality party (which elected four members to the legislature last election on an English-rights protest vote) delivered a message in 1989.It said anglos can only be pushed so far.And it

hockey with a black eye.A sport that has tried hard to clean up its act now has some wondering whether violence in the streets is seeping into the rink.\u201cThe streets are a lot different today than they were 10 years ago,\u201d said Bob Nicholson, a vice- president of the Canadian Amateur Hockey Association.\u201cPeople don\u2019t just change attitudes when they go into the hockey rink.\u201d

In Halifax, a 20-year-old Charlottetown player is facing a charge of aggravated assault after a hockey fan was struck by a flying stick during a brawl.\u2014 In Tulsa, Okla., police sprayed a player with pepper gas and used a choke hold to subdue him after he tried to jump from the penalty box at another player during a minor professional league game.\u2014 In Chatham, Ont., a junior player was

prestigious Russian scientific institute, but he can usually be found sitting behind the wheel of a taxicab.\u201cIt\u2019s terrible to have to do work that has nothing to do with your training or interests,\u201d says the cherubic 50-year-old, who spends up to 14 hours a day cruising Moscow streets in his battered Soviet-made Zhiguli sedan.\u201cBut this is a matter of survival, not interest.\u201d As a taxi driver, he earns up to 100,000 rubles, about $70 Cdn, a day.Voskresensky\u2019s official job, as professor at the Institute of Cybernetics, pays a meagre $45 per month, \u201cThat's a communist-era salary,\u201d he says.\u201cBut nowadays the prices are all capitalist.\u201d So, like thousands of other Russian scientists, academics and engineers, Voskresensky spends most of his time playing hookey from his prestigious day job in order to make ends meet.CUTTING EDGE \u201cOur institute used to be on the cutting edge of research, now it\u2019s a hollow shell waiting to die,\u201d he says.\u201cEveryone with energy has already left.\u201d Government support for the former Soviet Union\u2019s enormous academic establishment is waning quickly as Russia\u2019s futile efforts to build a market economy drag on.Science minister Boris Saltykov said recently that less than one in 10 highly educated specialists could expect to keep their jobs in state institutions over the next few years.For many people the blow is not only economic, but emotional and psychological too.\u201cWe were trained and indoctrinated to see ourselves as the intellectual elite, but that was all an illusion,\u201d says 57 year old Maria Joffe, who lost her teaching position when the Moscow Institute of TV Electronics ran out of funds and closed its doors in January.DESTROYED \u201cI can stand being ruined personally,\u201d she says.\u201cBut I weep to see everything that made Russia great being cheapened and destroyed.\u201d Joffe hopes to work as a computer operator or perhaps fix televisions.\u201cI would take any decent paying job,\u201d she says.\u201cNo one wants theoretical knowledge anymore.Only practical work is rewarded.\u201d Mila Makeyeva, 30, thought she had chosen a practical profession when she graduated from Moscow University\u2019s faculty of journalism eight years ago.Today, she works as a governess for the children of a foreign diplomat.\u201cI make 20 times more than my old classmates who have jobs as Russian journalists,\u201d she says.Alberta taxman tries nickel & dime approach By Larry Johnsrude EDMONTON (CP) \u2014 Not even man\u2019s battle to overcome the mighty forces of nature is untouched by Alberta revenue collectors these days.Lightning rods \u2014 brass spikes that reach into the sky to redirect nature\u2019s wrath harmlessly to the earth \u2014 are now subject to a government fee.So is registering a cattle brand.Or putting in a septic tank.The Progressive Conservative government may be sparing people a tax hike this year, but it\u2019s nickel and diming them to death with a string of new user fees and fee increases.Albertans are witnessing a fundamental shift in philosophy \u2014 from spreading the cost of services among all taxpayers to putting the burden on those who use government services most.The province's new user-pay policy extends far beyond lightning rods, a common prairie feature often pictured adorning the roofs of barns.NEW USER FEES From licensing a car to registering a home, fees for government services are going up and new ones are being added.Albertans will have to pay more for medicare.Alberta and British Columbia are the only provinces that charge medicare premiums.And senior citizens making more than $18,000 a year will have to pay medicare premiums for the first time since 1971.Unemployed people getting help from the Labor Department to collect back pay from former employers will have to share a percentage of the take with the government.Teachers, already stung by government cuts that stand to throw a lot of them out of work, will have to pay $20 every time they want a copy of their teaching certificates to send off with their resumes.And as the province passes its deficit woes to lower levels of government, more fees are imminent.Municipal fire departments are considering charging accident victims for using the \u201cjaws of life\u201d to pull them free from car wrecks.Police forces are looking at ways of charging for their services.Some school districts are considering charging parents to put their kids in kindergarten after the province cut kindergarten funding in half.Parents fear other education fees may not be far behind.NOT STRAPPED While all these miserly measures may give the appearance of a province severely strapped for cash, the opposite is true.Alberta, with the lowest income tax in Canada and the only province without a sales tax, has more room than any other government to increase taxes.An eight per cent sales tax would wipe out the budgetary deficit without the need for cuts in spending, which is being reduced by $1 billion this year and a further $1.5 billion to balance the books by 1997.The Conservatives rejected higher taxes or a combination of taxes and cuts to eliminate the deficit.Premier Ralph Klein, a convert to fiscal stinginess since being reelected last year on a Reform-style platform of low taxes, insists Alber- tans want less government.That may be true for now, but it could change as they pay more in user fees and receive less in government services like

It\u2019s bloody cold.\u201d He rubbed his chapped hands.\u201cHeap?Ye always sit next te the heater don\u2019ye?\u201d snapped Jim, grinning.A burly Scot, Jim cherished his 1952 Chevrolet two- door.It sat alone in a gloomy corner of the parking lot, whitened by a thin rime.Auke and Fred always joked about Jim's tired Chevy, but enjoyed its spartan comfort \u2014 tonight more than ever; the three men had dressed for milder weather, not for the sudden, unforecasted polar air.Jim tugged the drivers door, which gave a reluctant groan, and slid into the cold seat.\u201cContact!\u201d he yelled, jokingly, and turned the ignition key.There was a hollow CLICK! followed by a laboured RRR!.RRUUURRL!.RR!, as the starter resisted muddy oil, the engine then spluttering into a lumpy idle.Six worn pistons rattled and knocked.THICK FROST Auke tried to open the passenger door, but the lock had frozen.Jim grumbled, got out, and let the shorter Auke into the back, so Fred could spread his spidery legs up front.Jim slammed his door twice, but it didn\u2019t close properly: + \"> Auke and Fred scraped thick frost from the inside of the windows.Pressing the stiff clutch, Jim couldn\u2019t move the gear lever.The squat grey sedan limped away at 18 mphinlow gear \u2014 the oil too congealed to allow a change into second.RUTTED ROAD Bumping along the rutted road, the Chevy\u2019s headlamps glared on snowladen pine boughs.Wind whistled through a thin gap in the clattering opened door.Jim slid the heater controls on full, which blew in a strong burnt-oil smell.\u201cPhew!\u201d said Auke.\u201cCcripes! When's the heater gonna start w-working?\u201d chattered Fred, arms folded tightly.The blower had barely cleared a little disc through the frost on the windshield.\u201cVuh-vuh-V-V-V,\" Auke.Suddenly Jim wrestled with the steering wheel, and slowed the car to a stop.\u201cFlat!\u201d He glum- shivered ly said.They had been on the road only 15 minutes.They found a sad spare tire and a rusted jack.Auke and Fred frowned at Jim, who smiled weakly and shrugged.Auke grabbed the wheel wrench and took off the left front wheel bolts.The cold snapped at his face.His gloved hands were numb in minutes.Fred and Jim pumped the jack with cold-supercharged movements.Finished, they dove back into the meagre warmth of the car.\u201cGit that heater cookin\u201d barked Fred, shaking.Jim crunched the gear lever into low, and stomped the throttle.They drove for a few minutes.Then the car began to wobble violently.Again, Jim pulled the car over and jumped out.pockets, heads bent low.SILENCE Veils of misty powder hissed gently over the surface of the road.The unfortunate trio hadn't much to do but listen to the creaking of their boots on the frozen snow, the noise shattering an eerie silence.The wind mercifully subsided but stray icy beads blown from snow-packed pines stung their faces like black flies.After walking briskly for 20 minutes, Auke couldnt feel his hands or feet, and developed a deep, harsh cough.Fred and Jim, walking alongside, chatted with constricted throats and sandpaper voices.Auke wondered how much longer he could stand the trembling spasms.He wished to sit on front of the big wood stove in the living Auke and Thera DeVries: Survived brush with death in 1959, \u201cWhat now?\u201d yelled Fred, apprehensively.Through the frosted windshield the two men saw Jim, illuminated by the headlamps, look down at the left front wheel, then bang his huge fist on the hood.He poked his ruddy face inside, and grunted, \u201cAnother BLOODY flat.\u201d Auke closed his eyes and sighed loudly, while Fred muttered seasoned oaths.Jim moved the car to the shoulder of the road.He shut off the engine, and they all got out.Jim slammed the door.Three men reluctantly ambled down the road, hands stuffed in room of his modest home in Matheson.He thought about the hot coffee his wife made JUST right.He remembered warm hugs from his three kids.He grinned thinking about the neat little farm he just started \u2014 only 20 cows for now, but soon.\u201cI think there\u2019s a guy that lives up this road to the left,\u201d Jim interrupted.Jim remembered someone from the mine.Following blindly, too tired to argue, Auke and Fred followed.A few minutes later, they saw a dull light up a rise.They painfully picked up the pace with what adrenalin remained.Ten minutes passed before Auke, Fred and Jim stumbled up a drifted laneway to a trim brick bungalow with a weak light above the porch.Jim walked up to the door and weakly banged on its chipped surface.A woman opened the squeaking door a crack.\u201cJim,\u201d she cried.She opened the door more, and saw the men in more light, with heavily frosted faces and collars.They were silent.\u201cMy God, come in,\u201d said the woman.\u201cHi, Emily.Where\u2019s George?\u201d croaked Jim.Emily said nothing, quickly ushered the men into the tiny living room and sat them near the hot wood stove.George entered the room and stared.Emily frowned at George.\u201cUhh \u2014 you guys look terrible.\u201d he said.Auke was slouched in a cloth chair, his eyes half- shut, corn-colored hair askew.George tossed a big log into the stove.\u201cFlat\u201d grunted Jim.\u201cCar\u2019s down the road a few miles.\u201d Fred had dozed off.Emily made some toast and instant coffee, which was gulped and finished in record time.\u201cI think you guys should go to the hospital \u2014 you could have frostbite,\u201d suggested George.Auke forced a grin at George and wriggled his fingers.\u201cLet\u2019s just get a ride home.\u201d he said in a bubbling rasp.\u201cI'll warm up.\u201d \u201cLook, I'll get your car \u2014 Emi- Iy'll drive you to the hospital,\u201d said George.Before anyone moved, she had her coat on, and grabbed the keys to George's Dodge from the coffee table.Auke sat wheezing on the edge of the examining room bed in the hospital in Matheson, as a young doctor peered into his blue eyes, took his temperature, then listened with a stethoscope to his troubled breathing.The doctor removed the earpieces and stood beside Auke, reading a clipboard and frowning.\u201cMister.De-Fries?\u201d \u201cHmmm,\u201d grated Auke.\u201cYou have an advanced stage of pneumonia,\u201d the doctor said briskly.\u201cYou're lucky its not worse.\u201d Auke\u2019s eyes widened.\u201c- Good thing you got here promptly.\u201d Auke flopped back on the pillow, and gulped loudly.\u201cYour condition is serious,\u201d began the young doctor.\u201cI feel you should remain a few days here under observation.And stay out of that mine \u2014 the dampness will enhance lung damage.\u201d The doctor began to leave, but stopped and turned to Auke.\u201cOh.your two pals have high fevers, but will be alright.They're in a nearby ward.\u201d He quickly walked out.\u201cWell,\u201d sulked Auke, \u201cthere goes my job.\u201d A mild panic rose in him.A nurse entered with a glass of water and a paper cup containing a tiny white pill.Auke took the sedative \u2014 why not?\u2014 he was delerious with fatigue.Soon, his problems drifted away, and so did he.A short, dark-haired nurse quickly entered Auke\u2019s room at 7:30 a.m.He slept well, more from exhaustion than the drug.\u201cAuke?\u201d said the nurse, checking the chart at the en of the bed.She prodded Auke\u2019s shoulder.\u201cAuke?Auke?\u201d 000 \u201cAuke.Auke.\u201d he jerked and snapped open his eyes.He saw Thera\u2019s warm smile.\u201cIt\u2019s seven o'clock \u2014 everyone\u2019s here,\u201d said Thera.Auke sat blinking for a moment.Everyone let Anke nap after a day in the barn, and socialized quietly while he dozed.He rose from his chair and hazily greeted us.After hearty snacks and thick, black coffee, we ended up in the living room watching a good Christmas move on TV when a weather warning interrupted us.It forebodingly forecasted minus -40C and a 60 kph wind.Hearing this, Auke went into the basement.Curious over the clunking he made, I went downstairs and saw him cramming huge maple logs into a snapping fire in the wood furnace.Helooked back toward me over his shoulder with his characteristic wide grin, and winked.Stunning blow for leadership Mexico mourns assassinated candidate MEXICO CITY (CP) \u2014 Hundreds of supporters of Mexico's\u2019 governing party chanted a mournful farewell Thursday to Luis Donaldo Colosio, their candidate for president, who was killed by an assassin\u2019s bullets.While Mexicans dealt with the shock of the country\u2019s first major political assassination since 1928, leaders of the Institutional Revolutionary party began considering the loss of Colosio as their candidate five months before the election.The slaying at a campaign rally Wednesday in Tijuana was a stunning blow for Mexico's leadership, already struggling with a peasant uprising in the south and growing discontent over neo- liberal economic policies that have caused growing social inequality.President Carlos Salinas de Gortari accompanied Colosio\u2019s body from the airport to party headquarters, where it lay in state.Party activists applauded as Salinas stood at attention and chants of \u201cColosio! Colosio!\u201d rang across the auditorium.The killing was \u201can offence against all Mexicans and an affront to the institutions which we have built throughout our history,\u201d Salinas said.\u201cIt has injured the deepest convictions of the people of Mexi- 0.Jeho have always been parti- of the path of harmony, of law and of peace,\u201d Salinas said.A man apprehended at the scene of the assassination, Mario Aburto Martinez, 23, confessed to the killing, Mexican Attorney General Diego Valades said Thursday.He refused to comment on the gunman\u2019s motive.Officials of the long-governing Institutional Revolutionary party met with Salinas, who is barred by law from seeking a second six-year term and by tradition picks the party\u2019's candidate.The leaders refused to say when they might name a new candidate for the Aug.21° election.The Institutional Revolutionary party has not lost a national election since it was founded in 1929.The party\u2019s options for replacing Colosio are limited by a constitutional ban on a candidate holding a senior government job six months before the election.That ruled out most of the cabinet members who were possible candidates last year.Aburto, an industrial mechanic and self-described pacifist, is accused of using a .38-calibre revolver to shoot Colosio in the head and stomach, while the candidate among supporters at a campaign stop.The gun was traced to amanin northern California.The Brazilian-made Taurus revolver was purchased in 1977 at a store in Concord, Calif., said aU.S.Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms official.The official would not reveal the name of the man or the store.The manis the last known purchaser of the weapon and authorities are trying to locate him and determine how the gun ended up in Mexico, the official said.Colosio, the most important politician to be slain since president-elect Alvaro Obregon in 1928, had only a handful of security guards while speaking to about 3,000 people in a poor neighborhood near Tijuana\u2019s International Airport.Gov.Ernesto Ruffo of Baja California state said Colosio asked for limited security so he could be free to mingle with the crowd.Salinas ordered schools, government offices, banks and the stock market to stay closed Thursday in honor of Colosio, 44.Mexico must not allow the assassination to stop its drive for political and economic reforms, Prime Minister Jean Chrétien told Mexican legislators Thursday.Chrétien, on the second day of a three-day official visit to Mexico, received firsthand experience of the country\u2019s heightened emotions, when he tried to bypass thousands of mourners to pay his respects at the funeral home where Colosio lay in state.Mexicans lining the streets outside the funeral home and crowding halls inside yelled their disapproval when the prime minister tried to enter.In the press of people that jostled Chrétien and cameramen accompanying him, his RCMP detail made the decision to retreat.The prime minister, shaken but unhurt, took a walk in a nearby park to calm down before returning to his hotel.Chrétien in a speech to a group of influential legislators at Mexico's parliament said: \u201cA tragedy like this should just increase the resolve to make sure the democratic values will succeed,\u201d Chrétien urged calm and a business-as-usual approach in his speech to Canadian and Mexican business people.Salinas, who had a short meeting with Chrétien, assured the prime minister he will not be deterred by the political disarray the assassination has caused.Uncertainty was reflected in the world\u2019s financial markets.Mexican stocks fell on the New York Stock Exchange and the price of Mexican bonds \u2014 a key measure of investor confidence \u2014 plunged in London.In New York, the Mexican peso dropped slightly to 30 cents US on Thursday from 30.14 cents Wednesday.The assassination followed \\ Jean Chrétien.Don\u2019t stop now.t other violent outbursts that have \u2018 shaken Mexico this xear, just as | it was joining the North Ameri- { can Free Trade Agreement with !

Presbyterians, have them touch their knees and toes together, stick their tongues out and sway back and forth, all the while warbling Singin\u2019 in the Rain.Its all in a days fun \u2014 er, work \u2014 for Sister Mary Christel- le McAluso.She recently inducted 4,000 people into the so-called Order of the Fun Nun at a U.S.national conference of religious educators.Their initiation was to recite Mary Had a Little Lamb with their right index fingers on the nose of the person to their right and their left index fingers on the nose of the person on the left.As you might guess, religious comics like McAluso, who bills herself as the Fun Nun, are a different breed.They avoid the staples of some contemporary comedians \u2014 cruelty, profanity and cynicism \u2014 in favor of a brand of humor that encourages people to find joy in the human condition, laughing along with each other.What they strive for, by leading the faithful in bunny hops across church basements or in humorous newsletters, is a view of life featuring laughter as a form of salvation.Religious comedy is not just their job: It\u2019s a calling.In McAluso\u2019s theological world view, God is unfathomable love.When she helps another person feel better, she says, she receives a joy beyond human understanding.Says McAluso, a Sister of Mercy at the College of St.Mary in Omaha, Neb: \u201cIf I've been able to make one other human being smile, my life on this Earth has been well- rewarded.\u201d CRITICAL A sense of humor has never been more critical for clergy, says Rev.Ronald Weinelt, pastor of St.John\u2019s Lutheran Church in Rincon, Ga.Low pay and long hours are two continuing traditions in churches.Now there's also the indignity of being tarred with the brush of sex-ahuse cases and pressure to attract new members in a weak economy.Add the natural tendency of clergy to sacrifice their lives for others \u2014 and of congregations and denominational leaders to encourage workaholism \u2014 and being a minister has turned into a \u201cbrutal occupation,\u201d Weinelt says.\u201cInstead of getting strokes, we're getting kicked in the you- know-what for trying so hard.\u201d His response was to form the Association of Battered Clergy, a support gronp that offers broad doses of humor to help the healers help themselves.The association's newsletter, The Parish Chute, dispenses advice on topics ranging from the politically correct way to refer to a eunuch \u2014 \u201cgonadically impaired person\u201d \u2014 to ecclesiastical oxymorons such as \u201cyuppie pastor.\u201d If some of the humor has a hard edge \u2014 well, that\u2019s life, he says.And it helps relieve stress.\u201cThere\u2019s no way I would be able to survive it if I wasn\u2019t able to laugh at what happens.\u201d The Association of Battered Clergy, which publishes The Parish Chute, may be reached at 123 Cypress Drive, Rincon, Ga., U.S.A, 31326.The Fellowship of Merry Christians, which publishes

at Northern Lights green to red to purple.The auroras are arrayed along a long band with the magnetic North Pole as its centre.The bands are usually 475 to 950 kilometres wide, 100 to 195 kilometres above the Earth.They're caused by energized electrons bombarding the upper atmosphere.The Inuit believe the lights are sky people enjoying a ball game.Some Indians believe the auroras are ancestral

fisheries oceanography at the Maurice Lamontagne Fisheries Research Institute in Mont-Joli.\u201cThere\u2019s a glaring lack of new fish being born and existing fish are growing more slowly than usual.\u201d The federal government closed the Gulf cod fishery last year after an earlier shutdown of the fishery on the Grand Banks off Newfoundland.At the time, officials said the fishery could resume when disappearing stocks recovered.\u201cCertainly there\u2019s no hope for the moment,\u201d said Gascon, who delivered a paper on cod this week at a fisheries symposium in Mont-Joli, which is located at the foot of the Gaspe peninsula.\u201cWe don\u2019t see anything now to indicate there can be a commercial cod fishery in the Gulf before seven or eight years.\u201d Colder water may have been a major factor in the Gulfs declining cod stocks, he said in an interview.\u201cWhen the water is just two degrees colder that\u2019s a major change for the ocean,\u201d he said.\u201cOceanographers think that colder temperatures may be part of a cooling trend not just in the Gulf, but the entire North Atlantic.\u201cWe don\u2019t know the exact link Bad faith bargaining at Giant mine Royal Oak Mines appeal denied by Federal Court By Greg Joyce VANCOUVER (CP) \u2014 A Federal Court of Appeal panel took less than an hour Thursday to dismiss an application by Royal Oak Mines Inc.to overturn a labor board ruling that it bargained in bad faith with union members.The court, after hearing arguments for a day and a half, took about 45 minutes to dismiss the company\u2019s application.Royal Oak wanted the court to overturn a Canada Labor Relations Board ruling last November that it bargained in bad faith with the Canadian Association of Smelter and Allied Workers at its strike-torn Giant mine in Yellowknife.The mine was the site of an underground explosion in September 1992 that killed nine miners as they began their shift.Roger Warren, a striking miner, was charged last October with nine counts of first-degree murder.He was committed to trial last month.The mine and its union members began a strike-lockout in May 1992.Replacement workers were brought in and violent incidents occurred prior to the labor board\u2019s bad-faith ruling last November.The board also ordered the striking union members to vote on the company\u2019s initial offer and it was accepted.In his reasons for the court's unanimous decision, Justice James Hugessen said the labor board, with its \u201cexpertise\u201d in this matter, was the best body to deal between temperature and the cod population.But we know that since the cooling trend started, cod are a lot thinner.In fact, they're very, very thin.\u201d Gascon said the colder water may affect how the cod feed.\u201cMany probably didn\u2019t make it through the winter as a result.And if the growth of those which survive is affected it should have an impact on their ability to reproduce.\u201cThere\u2019s not much we can do about it.\u201d Gascon said it was just unfor- with it.\u201cWe are reluctant to interfere with the board,\u201d said Hugessen.\u201cIt is better able to see the problems than anyone else.\u2018\u201cThe application is dismissed.\u201d Union lawyer Leo McGrady reiterated that the appeal court deferred to the board\u2019s knowledge in such matters.\u201cThe court in its decision was very mindful of the fact that the labor board panel that made the decision had been involved for Fat pigs are genetic victims WASHINGTON (Reuter) \u2014 new report on fat pigs es evidence a tendency toward obesity is inherited.\u201cThis adds to the evidence that obesity is not just gluttony, that it\u2019s actually a biological phenomenon related to the genetic structure of an individual,\u201d Xavier Pi-Sunyer, an expert in * obesity research and a professor of medicine at Columbia University, said.Scientists at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Uppsala have identified a segment of a chromosome that \u201c- has a large effect on the fatness of the pig,\u201d said Leif Andersson, chief researcher and a professor of animal genetics.\u201cObesity has a genetic component,\u201d Andersson said.\u201cOur data is very clear on that.\u201d He said he suspects the same region on an equivalent chromosome in humans will be implicated in obesity.Chromosomes are made up of DNA, \u2018the ngategal that g governs the genetic makeup of an individual.Andersson and his colleagues reported on their findings in today\u2019s issue of the journal Science.The researchers crossbred male European wild boars, which tend to grow slowly but put on fat, with domesticated sows, which grow quickly but are leanl.The scientists then tracked differences in weight and growth through three generations.They found the crossbred pigs grew more slowly, had a shorter small intestine and deposited more fat than the domesticated pigs.& od 32 A he scientists found genes located in a single region on chromosome 4 accounted for most of the differences in growth and fatness between the different breeds of pigs.Previous studies have implicated an equivalent chromosome in rodents.\u201cThis is moving it up a step closer to man,\u201d said Pi-Sunyer, VW CEO promises profits WOLFSBURG, Germany (AP) \u2014 Volkswagen will be profitable by next year after losing the equivalent of $1.5 billion Cdn in 1993, says the company\u2019s purchasing chief.Jose Ignacio Lopez de Arrior- tua, hired last year from General Motors, told reporters Wednesday night that Europe\u2019s largest automaker will break even this year and post a profitin 1995.He would not offer a figure.Lopez also hinted that VW might ask its German workers to accept lower real wages.Lopez was accused of taking along General Motors\u2019 secrets when he defected to VW a year ago.He has denied wrongdoing, but is under investigation by U.S.and German authorities.Lopez, who is Spanish, has not travelled to the United States since the criminal investigation began there.He wouldn't say whether he would go if subpoenaed.\u201cWe will see.We don\u2019t need to answer that now,\u201d he said.Lopez described major changes in store at VW, which formerly was known for putting together virtually the entire car on its own shop floors and producing most of its parts in its own factories or buying them from German suppliers.In the future, Lopez said the company will assemble cars out of preconstructed components and purchase parts worldwide.\u201cWhen I arrived, the huge majority of suppliers for the VW marque were German.Now, we take our suppliers globally,\u201d he said.Although VW will wind up producing fewer of the pieces that comprise the vehicles itself, Lopez said this would not result in large-scale layoffs in Germany: \u201cWe will not fire anyone.\u201d Until September, VW chairman Ferdinand Piech repeatedly told investors VW would break even in 1993.He then backtracked when huge losses at the company\u2019s Spanish subsidiary SEAT became clear.At a news conference today, company officials said SEAT lost $1.5 billion in 1993.Volkswagen plans to put its 103,000 workers in Germany on a four-day work week this year to save money and avoid laying off 30,000 workers.No starting date for the four- day work week has been announced.GREICHE&SCAFF, ETAIENT.FRAME & LENSES single vision FRAME & LENSES bi-focal FRAME & LENSES progressive lenses 1 Hour Service on the majority \\ Of prescriptions FRAME FROM OUR Complete Eye

today.\u201d Royal Oak lawyer Edward Chiasson declined to comment on the ruling and said the company had not decided whether it would appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada.oValerie Courchesne ¢ This waiting period provides rman \u2014 experts with a chance to develop ' a better way of managing the fishery, Gascon said.\u201cWe have five or six years to come up with a solution that involves selective fishing determined by the capacity of the resource.\u201d But he said the solution can\u2019t , come from scientists alone.\u201cThis isn\u2019t just a problem for biologists, it\u2019s one for engineers and businessmen and politicians and ordinary fishermen.\u201d After the labor board ruling, about 130 union members were recalled to work.About 50 others who were fired during the biter

PHILIPPIANS 3:1-14 After a round of golf, British statesman David Lloyd George and a friend walked through a field in which cows were grazing.They were so absorbed in conversation that they forgot to close the gate when they left the fenced area.Lloyd George happened to notice the open gate, however, and went back to close it.David Lloyd George told his friend that this little incident reminded him of a doctor who, when dying, was asked by a minister whether there was anything he wanted to say before he slipped away.\u201cNo,\u201d the doctor replied, \u201cexcept that through life I think I have always closed the gates behind me.\u201d The dying man meant by CLOSE THE GATE .forgetting those things which are behind ., I press toward the goal.\u2014 Phillippians 3:13,14 God of our lives, O hear our prayer: As the new year dawns and the old year goes, Take from our hearts their load.of care; Give to our souls Thine own repose.\u2014 Gould this that he had learned the secret of putting past failures and disappointments behind him so they wouldn\u2019t rob him of his joy and peace.As Christians, we should know that secret well.When we sin, we can \u201cclose the gate\u201d to nagging guilt by confessing our sin to the Lord and accepting His forgiveness.Or, if we have a misunderstanding with someone, rather than allowing the irritation to fester, we should go to that person, making things right, and then forgive and forget the wrong.As we begin a new year, let\u2019s close the gate to the failures and disappointments of the past \u2014 then move on! \u2014 Richard W.De Hann TO

Janney back to St.Louis for three players.This came only a week after Janney had been awarded There were a lot of big names being shipped accross the map, but most of them left me Obviously nobody

Vancouver can\u2019t be blamed for dumping a player who was refusing to show up and help during the playoff race.However, for team that was desparately looking for offensive help and a quality playmaking centre; two defen- cemen (Jeff Brown and Bret Hedican) and a rookie winger (Nathan Lafayette) won't be.much help.The Chicago Blackhawks made some moves that just might help out down the stretch.Sure they gave up two steady wingers in Matteau and Noonan, but Amonte is a quality player.As well, Chicago picked up winger Paul Ysebaert from the Winnipeg Jets for a steal, a third round draft choice.He only has nine goals this season, but had 34 and 35 the two previous years with Detroit.If he returns to form, they'll be singing in Chicago.Rumors: Nords Arizona bound?MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The latest rumor involving the Quebec Nordiques has the NHL team being sold to the Detroit- based Compuware Corp.and moving to Phoenix in time for next season.The club quickly denied the report, aired by a Montreal radio station on Thursday.\u201cManagement of the Nordiques categorically denies the rumors of the sale of the team,\u201d said the club\u2019s media relations department in a written statement.\u201c(Management) wishes to reassure its many loyal fans that it will continue to make every effort to ensure the survival of the team in Quebec.\u201d Marcel Aubut, the Nordiques president and part owner was attending NHL board-of- governors\u2019 meetings in New York on Thursday and was not immediately available for comment.Several weeks ago, the Nordiques denied a radio report which had the team being sold and Canadiens tie Hawks with late goal CHICAGO (AP) \u2014 Brian Bellows tied the score with his 30th goal of the season at 14:34 of the third period Thursday night as the Montreal Canadiens rallied from a three-goal deficit and tied the Chicago Blackhawks 5-5.Patrick Roy made a big save in overtime, stopping Randy Cun- neyworth\u2019s shot from just outside the crease at 4:35.Then, at 2:28, Paul Dipieto\u2019s short rebound shot was stopped at the goalline.Vincent Damphousse scored 35th and 36th goals in the second period, then set up Bellows in the third with a pass from the corner.Bellows beat Jeff Hackett from point-blank range.Chicago had taken a 5-2 lead at 17:07 of the second on Paul Ysebaert\u2019s second goal of the

Roenick\u2019s 42nd goal gave the Blackhawks a three- goal lead on the power-play at 3:03, but Damphousse got his first goal at 9:41 of the second.Sharks 2 Maple Leafs 1 TORONTO (CP) \u2014 The San Jose Sharks won another NHL game Thursday night \u2014 somehow.They are unspectacular.They give up far too many scoring chances to opposing teams.Yet, they've won 26 games and appear destined to participate in post-season play for the first time in their three-year existence.Todd Elik\u2019s goal off a rebound 1:42 into the third period Thursday night gave San Jose a 2-1 victory \u2014 its first in Maple Leaf Gardens since entering the league in 1991.Igor Larionov also scored for the Sharks.San Jose, 26-33-15 for eighth place in the Western Conference with 10 games to go, increased to moved to Atlanta.An Atlanta business consortium is said to have offered $66 million for the team.Rumors have persisted about a possible sale and move of the team, largely because Aubut and the city of Quebec have been at odds over the need for a new arena.While the Nordiques are filling the 15,000-seat Colisee almost every game, Aubut has said the team needs a new building with corporate boxes.eight points its advantage over Anaheim and Los Angeles for the conference\u2019s final playoff berth.Dave Andreychuk, with his.50th, scored for the Leafs, 39-24-12 and still one point up on Detroit atop Western Conference.The Sharks, without the services of offensive sparkplug Sergei Makarov who injured a toe Tuesday, had the best early chances to score.In the sixth minute, Viacheslav Butsayev intercepted a Dmitri Mironov pass for a breakaway and goaltender Damian Rhodes made the save.In the ninth minute, Johan Gar- penlov whipped a shot off one of Rhodes\u2019s goal posts.Andreychuk wound up getting the only goal of the first period.The six-foot-three, 220-pound left-winger took a pass from Doug Gilmour in the middle of San Jose\u2019s zone and rifled the puck into a top corner of the net on goaltender Arturs Irbe\u2019s stick side at 9:59.Irbe twice robbed Mike Gar- tner early in the second period when Gartner broke free behind the San Jose defence.In the period\u2019s eighth minute, Irbe got help from a post on a Kent Man- derville bullet.Larionov scored at 18:01 of the second period with Wendel Clark serving an interference penalty.Larionov\u2019s slap shot from the right-wing circle found the far, bottom corner of the net and the Russian centre had his 13th goal of the season.Penguins 5 Senators 1 PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Shawn McEachern scored

game misconduct after his apparent goal in the third period was disallowed.Referee Ron Hoggarth ruled the puck was kicked in, a decision supported by the replay judge.Davydov made contact with linesman Andy McElman while he was being led off.He appeared to shove McElman while arguing with the officials.Jaromir Jagr's nine-game scoring streak, his career best, was stopped.Flyers 4 Panthers 3 PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 Eric Lindros had a goal and two assists Thursday night, helping the Philadelphia Flyers hold off Florida with a 4-3 victory over the Panthers.Philadelphia won its second in a

Japan (CP) \u2014 Elvis Stojko finally got the recognition he felt he was denied at the Winter Olympics.Skating to the same martial arts theme that failed to gain favor with the judges in Lille- hammer a month earlier, the 22-year-old skater from Rich- \u201cmond Hill, Ont., wooed the judges Thursday with a brilliant routine that brought him the world men\u2019s figure-skating title.The near-flawless performance, in which he nailed a quadruple toe loop, drew a standing ovation from the capacity crowd of more than 5,000 people at the Makuhari Event Hall.He earned a perfect 6.0, along with eight 5.9s, for technical merit, and his marks for artistic impression consisted of four 5.9s, four 5.8s and a 5.7.\u201cI said, \u2018Hey, its a perfect opportunity (for the quad), why miss it,\u2019 \u201d Stojko said.\u201cI knew I could do it.\u201d But he didn\u2019t figure on receiving a perfect score.\u201cI just sort of freaked out.\u201d France\u2019s Philippe Candeloro, the Olympic bronze medallist who skated just priofto Stoyko, finished second.Viacheslav Zagorodniuk of Ukraine was third, followed by Olympic champion Alexei Urmanov of Russia.Urmanov fell on a quadruple toe loop and spun out of a triple Axel, failing to move up from his position after the technical program.Sebastien Britten of Bros- sard, Que., placed eighth in his first trip to the world championships.Edmonton\u2019s Marcus Christensen was 15th.In the ice-dance competition, Shae-Lynn Bourne of Chatham, Ont., and Vancouver\u2019s Victor Kraatz moved up to sixth following the original dance.The concluding free dance in scheduled for today.Olympic gold medallists Oksana Gritschuk and Evgeni Platov of Russia have a solid lead heading into the free dance \u2014 worth 50 per cent of the total score.\u201cThis one was the best one,\u201d said Bourne, 18.\u201cEvery one we've done has got better and better along the way.\u201d Bourne and Kraatz had been locked in a three-way tie for seventh heading into the original dance.Their carefully paced, rhythmic interpretation.Golden oldies don\u2019t Resplendent in new uniforms of maroon, yellow, white, and green, Desmond Senior\u2019s 50+ old timers played improving hockey to gain credibility in stiff competition on Friday and Saturday.In colours taken liberally from the Eastern Townships Tartan, the team was easily the class of the on ice fashion parade.Players, from across the region, were identified according to their home towns, written across the back above their numbers.Des, a standout in the old semi-pro leagues, mobilizes this group of greying veterans using his carefully diplomatic methods and a keen general knowledge of the game.Lack of opportunity for joint practice forced the players into a rather scattered style of play in the first game on Friday evening.A distinctly inferior West Island team captialized on several miscues and jumped into a 3 to 0 lead.The clutching and grabbing settled in and time ran out with the score 4 to 1.A stronger opponent from Greenfield Park followed on Saturday afternoon.The Towns- hippers\u2019 juggled lines a little and steadied up considerably.Backed by solid defensive work from Bob Pincott, Joe Lapierre, Roland Gingras, and Don Taylor, the forwards found more open ice.Peter Cummings completed a play from Bob Farr and Evan Price while Duncan Kemp dipsy doodled his way through the defence before slipping the puck behind a bewildered netminder.Ralph Bushenbaum held the line tenaciously but again some crazy bounces settled the issue in this 3 to 2 loss.Although technically eliminated from contention after the second defeat, the Townshippers resolved to take it to the limit against their final opponents, the overpowering Ottawa Old 50's.Scored on only twice in their previous games, the Bytown squad had rung up a total of 17 goals.Aerobic Sports By Bill Williams A tense opening shift saw Kemp and Graham Neil speeding from one end of the rink to the other completely frustrating the normally disciplined Old 50\u2019s.A quick change, and some heads up passing from Gary Allen sprung Norm Labrecque loose at centre ice.He shifted the goaler neatly to the side and, for the first time in the tournament, the Townshippers took the lead.A force to be reckoned with, Ottawa stormed back.Five quick goals including two on one shift seemed to seal the Township- per\u2019's fate.But the final period was a seige of some proportion.Bushy shut the door in the nets.Wave after wave of Township- pers carried the play up the ice.From a goal mouth sprawl, Labrecque tallied his second marker.Price hammered and shovelled in front of the crease to count number three.With nine seconds left, the smooth skating Joe Lapierre

spotlight belonged to Stojko, who continued Canada\u2019s domination of the men\u2019s competition.His victory marked the fifth time in six years that a Canadian has won the men\u2019s crown.Defending champion Kurt Browning of Caroline, Alta., won the title four of the previous five years, but he retired from the amateur ranks following the Olympics.He was the first skater to successfully complete the quad in competition, accomplishing the feat at the 1988 worlds.Stojko went into Thursday's free skate with the lead after producing a near-perfect short program Wednesday.Last year, he had stood fifth after the short program before finishing second to Browning.The women\u2019s competition gets under way today with Canada represented by national champion Josée Chouinard of Laval, Que., and Susan Humphreys of Edmonton.Sa CR RE BL HE ee It should come as no surprise that card companies are scrambling to include Michael Jordan in their 1994 baseball sets.Jordan, possibly the greatest basketball player of all time, decided to try out for the Chicago White Sox this spring.He was fortunate that the owner of the White Sox also owns the Chicago Bulls, Jordan\u2019s former team.Jordan was not quite as fortunate once he stepped on the baseball diamond.He had only three hils in 20 at bats in 13 : Spring training games.On Mon- likely be a hit, miss beat to net number four.A final push

hit, but his cards will Sportscard Scoop By Dan Heimlich day, the White Sox demoted Jordan to their A level team.Upper Deck has announced that Jordan will have two cards in its upcoming set.Jordan's regular card, number 19, will replace the card of Miguel Jimenez in the Star Rookies subset.Jordan will also be included in the Diamond Collection insert set, replacing Kansans City Royals pitcher Kevin Appier.\u201cMichael Jordan is by far the most visible rookie in the Major Leagues this season and already a favorite of card collectors,\u201d explained Steve Mitgang, the Senior Vice-President of Marketing and Sales for Upper Deck.\u201cThis is just another example of how we'll go that extra mile to make a card that collectors truly want.\u201d Upper Deck has also added a card picturing Jordan to its 1994 Minor League Baseball set.The card, numbered MJ23, will be an Elvis is crowned ice king Jordan hits baseball cards insert card and not part of the regular set.The Minor League set includes professional players who have yet to play a regular season Major League game.Ironically, these three Jordan cards will not be the first Upper Deck baseball cards featuring Jordan as a baseball player.In 1991, Upper Deck produced an insert card (SP1) picturing Jordan in a White Sox uniform taking batting practice at Chicago\u2019s Comiskey Park.Since Jordan announced his intentions to become a Major League baseball player, the SP1 card has risen in value from $10 to $18.Although most fans, myself included, do not expect Jordan to play regularly, if at all, for the White Sox, it is interesting to watch the basketball great try his hand at another sport he loves.Collectors should expect the other card companies to include baseball rookie cards of Michael Jordan in their 1994 sets as well.Dan Heimlich is a card connoisseur who lives in Montreal.If you have any questions about cards, please send them to Dan Heimlich, c/o the Record.playing in hockey tournament pers\u2019

think, leaks from the top?In bridge, you might be faced with the same problem, especially when defending.Do you play a suit from the top or do you lead a low card early?Normally, if you are trying to establish your suit, you duck an early trick to keep communication with your partner.But not always.Defending against three no-trump, West led the spade ace.With the queen in the dummy, attitude was known.So East dropped the two, showing an odd number of spades.From the bidding, this had to be three.So West continued with a low spade, giving declarer the trick he was bound to win and keeping communication with his partner.But South made West pay.After winning trick two with dum- \u2018my\u2019s spade jack, declarer cashed dummy\u2019s diamond ace and played a diamond to his king.West's heart discard was a blow, but not fatal.South played off his three club winners before leading a diamond to dummy\u2019s queen.West discarded a second heart.Deciding West hadn\u2019t started with 5-3-1-4 shape and the heart king, which would now be bare, South called for dummy\u2019s spade queen.West won with the king and cashed two more spade tricks.But then he had to lead away from the heart king, giving South his eighth and ninth tricks.If only West had played three rounds of spades at the beginning, the contract would have been defeated.And since he had the heart king as an entry, this defense was logical.The vessel that leaks from the top, as pointed out by James Reston, is the government.© 1994, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Your Birthday Friday, March 25, 1994
