[" 99° 6\u201d cold cut cor with re dr of a large drin Limited time onl (ec UN 40 cents Hacker a hero for beating Casino game By Eric Siblin MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Ask Daniel Corriveau how he beat staggering odds to win $400,000 at the Montreal casino and he'll talk about a butterfly flapping its wings in Beijing.After the computer consultant hit a $200,000 jackpot twice in a row playing electronic Keno 10 days ago, the casino promptly shut down the popular lottery- type game and started an investigation.He has yet to collect his winnings.A the page.\u201cI'm confident I will get the money,\u201d Corriveau said Tuesday on his way out of a TV station.\u201cIt's a normal process for the casino to be investigating.\u201d Celebrated by Quebecers as a mild-mannered genius who beat the system, the province's latest hero is a computer nerd who claims to have used \u201cchaos theory\u201d to defy mind-numbing odds at the casino.The arcane mathematical concept, which the 40-year-old Corriveau found himself expounding on television, is based on the Ruth and Earl Fitzgerald have learned it through their own experience: a good rehabilitation program can ease the effects of a stroke, and Youville Hospital is a good place to find help.For the full story, please turn notion that random-looking data isn\u2019t so random.One of the theory's axioms is that if a butterly flaps its wings in Beijing, it will have an effect on the weather system in New York City.The rules of Keno are less esoteric.Placing bets of between $2 and $5, gamblers try to pick some ofthe 20 numbers that are drawn from an 80-number pool in the computerized game.On April 10, Corriveau managed to select 19 of 20 numbers twice in a row, a feat that hadn't à M RECORD PHOTO: TANYA MAIER Critics on all sides been pulled off even once since the casino opened its doors last October.\u201cThe odds are extremely low for this to happen,\u201d said Jean- Pierre Roy, a spokesman for Loto-Quebec, the provincial agency that operates the casino.\u201cIt\u2019s much harder to win than the 6-49 jackpot, for instance.\u201d The odds of hitting a 6-49 jackpot are about one in 14 million.: But Corriveau said he discovered \u201ca bug in the system\u201d that made the Keno odds more player- friendly.Teamed up with his twin brother Claude, his girlfriend and another woman, Corriveau visited the casino about a dozen times over four months, writing down the winning sequences of numbers.At his suburban Terrebonne home, the brainy bettor plugged the data into his computer and put on his thinking cap.\u201cWe looked at the mathematical possibilities,\u201d he explained in See CASINO Page 2 What nationalists?Johnson shifts to trade as target for U.S.visit By Laura Eggertson WASHINGTON (CP) \u2014 Not a single question.Canada-watchers in the U.S.capital passed up the perfect opportunity Tuesday to grill Quebec Premier Daniel Johnson about his province\u2019s future in Confederation.Johnson, who faces a tough election battle this year against the separatist Parti Québécois, finished a two-day trip to the United States with a speech to the Canada-U.S.Business Council.The premier avoided the entire subject of separation vs.federalism in his 20-minute address.He kept the focus on his support for free trade with the United States and his plans to create jobs and solve Quebec's social problems should the Liberals be re-elected.Johnson\u2019s audience of Canadian and American trade lawyers, bureaucrats, academics and business people apparently took their cue from him.None of the eight queries that followed the speech were about Quebec's political future.Seven questions focussed on the premier\u2019s agenda for lowering trade barriers and increasing economic opportunity.\u201cThey don\u2019t seem worried at all,\u201d Johnson told a news conference following the luncheon at the downtown Mayflower Hotel.Liberal plans for youth under fire By Linda Drouin OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The government\u2019s youth program, announced with much fanfare last week, is under fire from the Bloc Québécois for treading on provincial toes and from Reform for lacking imagination.The Quebec government has also warned Ottawa to back off because the project involves education programs, a provincial responsibility.Quebec Education Minister Jacques Chagnon, in a television interview Monday night, warned that the province is ready to defend its jurisdiction to the Supreme Court if necessary.The Bloc seized on that theme in the Commons on Tuesday, while Reform complained that the Liberals are rehashing old ideas and ignoring more innovative approaches.The $684-million program includes community work projects, an internship training program and more money for student summer jobs and student loans.Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Marcel Massé defended the plan Tuesday.\u201cIt\u2019s clear from a constitutional point of view that, when there is a national problem like youth employment, the federal government shares responsiblity with the provinces to resolve the problem,\u201d he told the Commons.Bloc Leader Lucien Bouchard said the federal program would duplicate things the provinces are already doing, leading to \u201c- more costs and less efficiency.\u201d Troops held eight hours Serbs harass Canadians again \u2014 then let them go VISOKO, Bosnia-Herzegovina (CP)

Manning said of the plan.* \u201cSeventy per cent of the funds are not for job creation, and most of the program is just a rehash of old programs and Liberal ideas from the 60s and 70s.\u201d Manning said the government should instead make direct payments to young people through education and training vouchers and revamp the student loan program so that repayments will be tied to the amount of money being earned.Ontario Premier Bob Rae, visiting Ottawa for the day, said he wasn't \u201cparticularly fussed\u201d about the Quebec jurisdictional dispute.But he said he would watch with interest if the province takes the issue to court.\u201cWe're more concerned about wed to proceed.The Canadians were manning observation posts on the confrontation line between the Bosnian Serbs and the Bosnian Muslims and were blocked from leaving Bosnian Serb territory at a bridge one kilometre east of their base at Visoko, a Canadian military spokesman said.After top-level negotiations, the Serb military headquarters told the Serb troops at the bridge to let the Canadians pass and they returned to their base, said the spokesman, Capt.George Petrolekas.See HARASSED Page 2 | the share of dollars that goes to the province, and that for us is the critical issue,\u201d said Rae.In Quebec City, an aide to Cha- gnon reiterated Tuesday that the province is determined to protect its turf.\u201cIf we have to go as far as the Supreme Court we'll go, because jurisdiction over education is clear and well defined,\u201d Sophie Gagnon said.She said there will be talks with the federal government about the youth initiatives, though there has been no contact yet.\u201cWe're not at war,\u201d she said.Prime Minister Jean Chrétien defended the program, saying \u201c- we have a national responsiblity in the creation of jobs and it\u2019s our responsiblity to find ways to help young people to find work.\u201d \u201cThey have made their own judgment on the outlook, I guess.I welcome that.It seems to be very positive.\u201d But bond broker Robert Sher- retta struck one sour note in Johnson's placating pitch.He asked the premier for assurance the governments would dE Tuna -

Lucien Bouchard.He called Johnson a \u201cmaster blackmailer\u201d Tuesday for a speech the premier gave in New York the day before, telling businessmen he wants to make sure Quebec will remain a place where they can feel comfortable putting their money.Johnson told reporters that investors are concerned about the possible election of a separatist government this year, although he admitted none of them had expressed such fears to him in private talks.\u201cIt\u2019s blackmail,\u201d Bouchard.\u201cThis is not the time to indulge in petty politics and scare investors.It\u2019s unspeakable.He should stay in Quebec as much as possible until he\u2019s booted out as premier.\u201d The Bloc leader said scare tactics won't work.\u201cWe have heard this before in election campaigns and it didn\u2019t do any good then.\u201d said Bouchard: Premier should stay home Bouchard said he never attacks his opponents when he\u2019s outside the country \u2014 he just explains the \u201cclashing visions.\u201cWhen we travel abroad, we never attack viciously the federalists, We consider it a legitimate option, and people who are federalists have a right to be.and I would expect the same of people from the other camp.\u201d When Bouchard travelled to New York and Washington in March he reassured everyone he spoke to that an independent Quebec would remain an eager trading partner.Meanwhile in Ottawa a stillborn proposal that Reform could somehow join forces with the NDP was the latest sign of a growing Commons backlash against the separatist Bloc, some MPs say.Key Reformers and New Democrats dismissed the notion Tuesday \u2014 previously raised by some of their own colleagues \u2014 that they could link up in a federalist coalition to replace the Bloc as official Opposition.See BOUCHARD Page 2 sr Page 3.Surrounded by beaches.ss Usually a short walk from a private beach, this Magog Township Hotel ended up much closer than that following this

long-time devotion to sports.Curling, golfing, and fishing are the 73-year-old\u2019s favorites while his wife, Ruth plays squash and tennis, and has even won road-running marathons.Some of the couple\u2019s grandchildren compete on the national level, as did their children before them.Fitzgerald has won numerous trophies and medals, including one from Queen Elizabeth, for sports-related achievements.His efforts as treasurer for Mérite Sportif de l\u2019Estrie, a local scholarship fund for university athletes, are well known and appreciated.Fitzgerald was one of the foundation\u2019s founders in 1981.But in August 1993, a brain hemorrhage causing loss of communication, reading and writing skills (aphasia) threatened to end Fitzgerald\u2019s active involvement in sports.The day of his stroke he had played golf in the morning, raked hisyard in the afternoon and was about to go shopping when his BOUCHARD: Continued from page one But they acknowledged the idea reflected an underlying frustration at the BQ\u2019s parliamentary success.And at least one Liberal government backbencher agreed the Bloc is using too much Commons time promoting a separate Quebec, pushing other issues to the sidelines.\u201cThe separatists have grabbed centre stage and it\u2019s just frustrating,\u201d said Reform MP Ian McClelland, who started the whole idea of a Reform-NDP coalition with what he called \u201c- kibitzing\u201d during a Commons vote last week._ Bill Blaikie, NDP caucus ; chairman, said his party would not join forces with Reform.But he shared McClelland\u2019s concern about the Bloc\u2019s official Opposition status: \u201cWe don\u2019t like it any more than anybody else.\u201d Paul De Villers, a Liberal backbencher from Ontario, said the Bloc started out trying to act wife noticed there was something wrong.One side of his face seemed frozen.He lost his balance in the living room and had difficulty speaking when he asked if she'd seen his glasses just a few minutes before.Ruth Fitzgerald took her husband directly to the emergency department at the Sherbrooke Hospital.He was admitted and remained there under observation for eight days.Then he went home.Unable to speak, read, or write, the accountant felt lost.He even wanted to resign from his position as treasurer for Mérite Sportif.And his wife was in shock.\u201cNeither of us had ever been ill before,\u201d she says.When Ruth Fitzgerald worked as a Ladies\u2019 Auxiliary volunteer at the Youville Hospital 25 years ago, she never imagined that her husband would one day be treated there for a stroke.However, the minute the couple learned of the modern Youvil- le\u2019s reputation for helping stroke victims recover lost faculties, they applied to start treatment right away.Early evaluation and rehabilitation are apparently the keys to as a national opposition, but has lately pursued a narrow Quebec agenda.\u201cI believe they're taking up too much time.It does make it difficult to carry on with some of the more important issues and some of the broader issues.\u201d Bloc Leader Bouchard said he wasn\u2019t losing any sleep over the federalist concerns.\u201cEven if we weren't the official Opposition, we would still be 54 people in the House and we would be as strong as we are now, maybe stronger, maybe more vociferous.\u201d As official Opposition the Bloc gets to lead off the daily question period and also gets more questions than any other party.Reform, with 52 MPs, would need to pick up three more to surpass the BQ.The idea of a coalition with the nine New Democrat MPs seemed to get a boost Monday when Nelson Riis, NDP deputy Leader, said he would take it to caucus for discussion.CASINO: Continued from page one an interview.\u201cI found the same 19-number sequence twice in 240 draws.That proved the weakness in the system.It should have been one chance in six billion to get the same sequence twice.\u201d \u201cThe computer should have waited another million draws, another 40 years before coming up with the same number again.\u201d Corriveau, sporting a Montreal casino pin on the lapel of his grey suit jacket Tuesday, said he linked the two number sequences with the help of chaos theory \u2014 a concept recently popularized in the dinosaur film Jurassic Park.In his TV interview, the computer wizard scribbled on a blackboard and flashed charts to demonstrate how he crunched the numbers.The explanation had the host of the phone-in show scratching his head but telephone callers lauded Corriveau as if he'd just returned from the Olympics with a gold medal in his laptop.Roy, spokesman for the casino, said the casino\u2019s regulatory board is still investigating the payoff and the Keno game is being examined.\u201cWe hope there will be a decision made soon,\u201d he said, adding that Corriveau wont get paid until such a time.\u201cAs far as I know he probably acted in good faith.\u201d Corriveau, who has not been barred from the casino, said he doubts chaos theory could prove fruitful for other casino games but suggested that \u201cthe concept could be applied.\u201d His own plans, however, are to collect his winnings and start up a \u201cdata security\u201d company.Randy Kinnear, Publisher Charles Bury, Editor Guy Renaud, Graphics Francine Thibault, Composition CIRCULATION DEPT.819-569-9528 FAX: (819)

who said Americans respect the right of Quebecers to decide whether to stay in Canada or separate.Americans \u201cfeel that people ought to make their judgments and decisions themseives and whatever the outcome of those judgments and decisions I think Americans would very much respect, Kennedy said.\u201cThat\u2019s the basis of real confidence and real trust.That's what particular systems are about, \u201chd wëtertairily respect that.I would like to see them (Quebe- cers) make judgments on an informed basis.We look forward to the outcome.\u201d The Democratic senator\u2019s remarks, made during a photo session with Johnson and Canadian ambassador Raymond Chrétien at the U.S.Senate office building, left Canadian diplomatic aides fuming.Kennedy made no mention of the traditional U.S.position that Americans would prefer to see Canada stay together.Asked what he thought of Kennedy\u2019s remarks, Johnson replied: \u201cWhat else did you expect him to say?\u201d , Also on Tuesday, a top executive at Johnson and Johnson, a U.S.-based health-products giant, distanced himself from politically charged statements he made on Monday.Gerald Ostrov, president of Johnson and Johnson's personal- products division, suggested Monday the company might review plans to invest $50 million in a Montreal plant if the PQ wins the next Quebec election.Ostrov made the comment at a news conference given by the Quebec premier in New York City.On Tuesday evening, however, Ostrov issued a statement saying the company\u2019s investment plans are \u201cunconditional\u201d and that Johnson and Johnson will have good relations with Quebec \u201cregardless of political change.\u201d \u201cAt that point I had to make a decision whether or not conditions remained for a repetition of events of the other night and the conditions were still there,\u201d he said referring to an incident in which 16 Canadian peacekeepers were seized by Serbs on Thursday and held at a school until Sunday.\u201cWe moved the two observation posts out very quickly,\u201d Moore said.\u201cWe had to abandon some tents and things of that nature.This had to be done lickety split and to gain some surprise.\u201d However, the Serbs were alerted by the movement of the two armored personnel carriers and about eight Serbs \u201cwere out with their weapons and they put the barrier down and they put mines across the road.\u201d Moore then deployed eight Cougar armored vehicles, two infanty sections, engineers and a small combat team.\u201cIt was not aggressive at all,\u201d he said.\u201cWe were prepared to assist if required.The company commander described the atmosphere as the checkpoint as relaxed and basically they were just waiting for word from on high to open the gate.\u201d Petrolekas said the negotiations were conducted in Pale between Lt.-Gen.Sir Michael Rose, commander of UN forces in former Yugoslavia, and Serb leader Radovan Karadzic.The 15 men involved were sent to the observation posts to relieve the 16 Canadians seized last week.More than 130 UN personnel are still being detained or restricted by the Serbs.They included Canadian Maj.Gord Martin, a UN military observer who is restricted to the area of Balzuj, near Sarajevo.Five UN military observers, led by Canadian Maj.Pat Sto- gran, remained in Gorazde, a Muslim enclave under siege by the Serbs.LUCK:

Hollywood movie stunt by lying in the middle of a busy highway while cars sped by, police said.Early Saturday morning, at about 3 a.m., two Ottawa men, in an apparent imitation of a scene from the movie The Program, lay lengthwise on the dividing line in the eastbound lanes of the Queensway, Ottawa\u2019s busiest highway.A car sped past.One of the young men got up.The other, Jason French, was hit by a car and died.A few hours before he died French was out with friends celebrating his 21st birthday.At the end of the night out French and two friends walked along the on-ramp onto the highway, apparently heading back to a nearby suburb where he lived with his parents.They apparently decided to imitate a scene in The Program, a 1993 movie about the training of an American university football team in which the hero- quarterback lies on a highway and dares friends to join him as a test of machismo and team spirit.\u2019 But unlike the fantasy football hero, French was hit by a car that sped away at about at 3 a.m.Saturday, said Ontario Provincial Police Const.Ian Black.French was taken by ambulance to hospital where he died.\u201cAs a conclusion to the evening Jason and one of the friends mimicked a scene from the movie where the actors lay IM.IM YOU SEE STANDING SOMETHING, OUTSIVE.| DONT YOU ?down on the line of the highway,\u201d Black said Monday.Witnesses, police said, told how French and a friend lay down on painted lines west of the ramp while a third man stood beside the highway.\u201cDrivers stopped after French was hit, but the car that struck him disappeared.We have no description of what happened because it was so dark.\u201d Police said tests to determine whether French had been drinking haven't been completed.In October 1993, a month after the film was released, two teenagers were killed in Pennsylvania and New York state when they lay on different roads at night.The makers of the film, Touchstone Pictures, a Walt Disney subsidiary, cut the highway

society to blame for floods?By Rita Legault MAGOG TOWNSHIP \u2014 Destruction of wetlands and disappearing brooks are one of the main causes of increased spring flooding, says the head of Mem- phremagog Wetlands Inc.A longtime observer of local lakes and rivers, Stewart Hopps blames the filling in of local marshes for flooding in Bacon\u2019s Bay near Ayer\u2019s Cliff on Lake Massa- wippi and in Magog Township at the head of Lake Memphremagog.\u201cAnd it\u2019s going to get worse,\u201d Hopps warned Tuesday, adding that local marshes are being filled in at an alarming rate and as a consequence the brooks they feed are quickly disappearing.\u201cYou go around in two or three weeks and all our brooks will be dry,\u201d Hopps said.\u201cRight now out brooks go up and down like a yo- yo.We've turned them into drainage ditches.\u201d Hopps said that without marshes which act as sponges to absorb melting snow and rain, and brooks which allow the mel- toff to reach lakes and rivers slowly, floodwaters have nowhere to go but over the edge.\u201cNo water stays anywhere now,\u201d he said, adding that Bacon\u2019s Bay, which was once a huge wetland, has been filled in occupied by dozens of cottages.Although floodwaters have been slowly receding for the past two days, between 30 and 60 families in Bacon's Bay and others near the Ascot River on Capelton Road will have to wait another day or two before they can return home, said Jacques Brochu of Quebec\u2019s civil security agency.Brochu said Tuesday the water has been dropping steadily and there is little chance of new flooding in the Sherbrooke area.However to the west officials Hotel owner Ronald Marcoux sent his clients elsewhere.watched warily as the Richelieu River hovered near last year\u2019s

security agency.\u201cBut we're keeping very close track of things.\u201d Bellehumeur said abnormally high snowfalls last winter in the mountains of southern Quebec and the U.S.states of Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont meant higher than normal water levels in the rivers that drain these areas.Hopps said much of the flooding could be prevented if wetlands and shorelines were restored.The ardent environmentalist ran into the Record as he investigated flooding at the head of Lake Mephremagog Tuesday afternoon.\u201cIt\u2019s been this bad before and it'll happen again,\u201d Hopps said, adding that although there has been flooding around Lake Mem- phremagog the water level is still well below the highest point allowed by an international convention signed in 1928.On Tuesday, the water rose to 682 feet above sea level, he said.The treaty allows it to rise to 684 feet.FORMER MARSH \u201cTwenty years ago, this was a marsh,\u201d Hopps said, pointing the the Memphré Club condominiums where

dépanneur owner Man killed sick father Guilty plea in Sutton death GRANBY (SM) \u2014 Gilles Deslongchamps, 38, pleaded guilty in Superior Court Tuesday to the second-degree murder of his 75-year-old father at his Sutton home last September.The elderly man was shot three times while he slept in his bed.In his statement, Deslong- champs said his father was ill and depressed following the death of his wife of 50 years just a week earlier.He said he took his father\u2019s life in an \u2018assisted suicide\u2019.In pre-sentencing arguments Tuesday, prosecutor Henry Key- serlingk said he didn\u2019t buy the assisted suicide story.The Crown attorney said there Rémi Lariviére.Yates, 20, is charged with manslaughter, conspiracy to was no suicide note and the aecu- sed left the scene with

his sentence May 2.Parents, police back from Big Apple Dead baby: Suspect couple will be charged SHERBROOKE (RL) \u2014 A couple who concocted an elaborate kidnapping hoax in New York City to cover up the death of their 10-week-old baby returned to Quebec under police guard on Tuesday.\u201cThey will be held in custody,\u201d said Quebec Police Force spokesman Cst.Tom McConnell.The handcuffed parents, Joseph Balès, 38, and Hélène Lemay, 31, arrived at about 6 p.m.at QPF regional headquarters to face a crowd of local and out of town reporters and photographers.Hiding his face from the cameras, Balès rushed into the building.A seemingly-shattered Lemay followed at a slower pace.They were to spend the night at Sherbrooke\u2019s Talbot Street provincial jail before appearing in court this morning (Wednesday) either in Sherbrooke or Granby, McConnell said.MAY BE CHARGES Later, Sherbrooke Crown prosecutor Charles Crépeau met with QPF investigators Cpl.Marcel Laprade and Det.Yves Houle, who questioned the couple for several hours Monday in Father of a baby found dead in Eastman, Joseph Bales was brought back to Sherbrooke by Quebec Police Force Cpl.Marcel Laprade.a a New York police precinct, then drove them to Sherbrooke Tuesday.Charges to be laid today depend on what came out during questioning, said Michel Pinard, Sherbrooke district chief Crown prosecutor.At the very least, the couple will be charged with illegal disposal of a body, Cst.McConnell said.Balés and Lemay went to New York City police last Saturday to report the disappearance of their infant daughter Muguet.A wide-scale search ensued although police were suspicious about why the couple waited almost a full day before reporting the girl missing.The couple, from Saint- Romain, on Route 108 halfway between Sherbrooke and Lake Megantic, said they couldn\u2019t speak any English.The couple finally broke down under questioning and told New York police Sunday they had found the baby dead in her crib April 8.They said they decided to ditch the body beside a Quebec highway then drive to New York and tell police the baby was snatched from Central Park.QPF patrolmen found the baby\u2019s body wrapped in plastic in a snowbank beside Autoroute 10 near Eastman.An autopsy Monday failed to determine the cause of death and did not uncover any signs of physical abuse.A RECORD/GRANT SIMEON Stewart

to the water-logged land between the old road and the new highway, which is filled with marsh gras- comfimit robbery, and robbery in the December, 1992 hold-up.Co-accused Christopher Bates has been found guilty of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment in the same incident.Superior Court Justice Louis- Philippe Galipeau heard pretrial arguments Wednesday from Crown prosecutor Henry Key- serlingk and defence attorney André Coté.While not presenting a formal motion that Coté be barred from defending Yates, Keyserlingk told the judge a conflict of interest may arise if Côté.who also represents Bates, must choose between two versions of events ses and home to muskrats and other wetland creatures.\u201cOne day theyll turn all this into lots,\u201d he said, \u201cand then they'll

said that they are often flooded in the spring, but this is the worst he\u2019s seen it.\u201cLast year there was two or three inches of water in the parking lots and there were min- offered by his clients.Justice Galipeau said he saw no immediate conflict and the court would deal with any which might arise.However Justice Galipeau agreed with both Côté and Key- serlingk that he should remove himself as judge in Yates\u2019 trial since he already made rulings on Yates statements and credibility during the Bates trial.The judge also granted Coté\u2019s request that Yates undergo a two-week

parking his car near the highway and getting ready to wade back home.Hopps said to help prevent future flooding, environmental officials will have to repair the damage already done.\u201cThey are

Bates\u2019 trial be made available to them for the preparation of their defences.6000 pages of stenographic notes would not be available for several weeks.The question of who will pay to have the 6000 pages copied also remains unclear since both Yates and Fuller are represented by lawyers paid by legal aid and only transcripts pertaining to their own trial are normally covered by the government program.Justice Galipeau said because of the delay Yates\u2019 trial will be postponed to the fall sitting of Superior Court.Hélène Lemay made a televised plea for the return of her daughter, who was already dead.She was returned to Sherbrooke by QPF Det.Yves Houle.François Houle, spokesman for the Quebec coroner\u2019s office, said further tests could take up to two

April 20, 1994 re the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Doing the right thing Doing the right thing when you're in politics can never be easy.People always have opinions about what exactly the right thing is, and after a while most politicians lose the strength of their convictions, preferring instead to stand by and let others outside the halls of power dictate what direction they should or should not take.Allan Rock, the Liberal government's justice minister, so far seems to have avoided this trap.Rock has his ideas of what is right, and he seems willing to make the decisions necessary to put his ideas into place.He has asked a question I have wanted to ask for a long time: why do we need so many guns in this country?Most of us no longer hunt for food, unless you count battles over sales at the local supermarket as hunting.We don\u2019t need to protect ourselves from wild predators unless we live in a remote area.Alan Rock thinks city residents shoul- dn\u2019t have guns.He thinks buying them should be more difficult.And he thinks buying ammunition should require a licence.And of course he\u2019s right.Rules like these should already be in place.There is no constitutional guarantee of the right to bear arms in Canada, nor should there be.Buying ammunition should be as tough as buying a gun in the first place, and those who own and use guns should have to explain why they want ammunition.If there are no bullets lying around, the gun can\u2019t go off accidentally.And if buying bullets is hard, maybe acquiring them to commit a crime will be all that much harder.The key test of Rock\u2019s will, however, is yet to come.It's easy to make a new law, institute new rules.Its another thing to apply them every single time.~~ The Criminal Code already makes | using a handgun in the commission of an offence a crime punishable by up to 14 years in jail \u2014 14 years that must be served on top of any other sentence handed down.Try to find an instance where this charge has gone to trial and resulted in a conviction, where the Crown didn\u2019t cut some kind of deal to water down the charge.Try to find someone whose life has been touched by a violent crime involving a gun who's happy with the way the justice system has answered the offence.And then write to Alan Rock and tell 4 him to not only write new gun control laws, but to enforce them too.Tell him you're behind him 100 per cent.As long as he does the right thing.STEPHEN HECKBERT NE pen 026 DV Se mb Hel Letters I would appreciate the politesse Gaston

Presbyterian Church Distilling unity out of diversity The need for unity within Canada\u2019s diversity is expressed in the recent annual report of Victor Gol- dbloom, commissioner of official languages: If Canada is to flourish, Canadians must feel a sense of community, of belonging, of recognizing themselves in the total image of their country, of sharing common values and objectives, of being cared about by those who manage Canada on their behalf.Distilling unity out of diversity has been one of our country\u2019s major challenges, and we have not yet fully succeeded in meeting it.A corollary task for federal institutions is that of communicating with, and appropriately serving, our two principal linguistic communities.Those (bilingual) communications and services require a certain number of practical measures.This is done where numbers warrant, where actual human needs exist.From What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press SA AMAR A \u20ac M0 page = By

Canadian media, says a veteran journalist who\u2019s worked on both sides of the border.\u201cThe print media are more in control of this than television,\u201d Thomson Newspapers executive Steve Lawrence told editors Tuesday at the annual meeting of The Canadian Press.\u201cYou don\u2019t have to run Roseanne and Cheers.\u201d Although network television news often sets the agenda for the next day\u2019s newspapers, local editors know they must run stories most useful to their readers \u2014 often leaving U.S.stories buried on inside pages, he said.\u201cCanadian newspapers, to succeed, will have to become more local, more useful, more relevant to readers,\u201d said Lawrence, who works in Toronto as director of editorial development for the international newspaper chain.Lawrence, who previously worked as an assistant managing editor at several major U.S.newspapers and the business magazine Forbes, was one of several panelists in a discussion on the Americanization of Canadian news.Editors and publishers from across the country are attending the annual meeting of CP, the national newsgathering cooperative that serves more than 100 daily newspapers.CP distributes stories and pictures generated by its own staff and stringers, its member newspapers, The Associated Press and Reuters.One example of American influence is blanket coverage on U.S.television of natural disasters such as fires and earthquakes in California, said Rick Salutin, an author and media columnist for the Toronto Globe and Mail.These stories garner more attention than they deserve north of the border, he said.HORRIBLE INFLUENCE There\u2019s also the \u201chorrible influence\u201d of U.S.talk shows and tabloid television news programs, Salutin said.\u201cPm not sure Americanization is an evil influence, it\u2019s more of a stupid influence,\u201d he said.The Canadian media come out looking much better in some of their political coverage, such as a televised election debate on free trade between the three major party leaders in 1988, Salutin said.\u201cI remember American journalists being impressed and stunned you could have that level of discussion in the video idiot age .the level of discussion and debate has been infinitely higher\u201d in Canada.Keith Morrison, co-anchor of CTV\u2019s Canada AM, said he was surprised upon returning to Canada after six years as a Los Angeles newscaster that the country had resisted the American \u201cbombardment\u201d so well.But the coming 500-channel television universe means Canadians are about to be tested by a new deluge of American news and culture, another panelist said.\u201cWhat we've seen up to now is peanuts,\u201d said Willard Estey, a former Supreme Court of Canada justice who now sits on the Ontario Press Council.Today in history Hundreds By Jim Bronskill The Canadian Press Smile, coach potatoes.The chesterfield will be your throne, the remote control your sceptre, if the television universe unfolds as pundits predict.Over the next few years, TV programming, technology and services are expected to evolve rapidly, giving viewers far more choices.Yet thorny questions lurk in TV Land: Will the boob tube really become smart television?Where will the new services come from?How much will they cost?Observers don\u2019t have all the answers, but they see trends developing.Viewers can expect hundreds of highly specialized channels catering to their interests \u2014 from playoff football games to infomercials for new cars, says David Ellis, a Toronto media consultant.\u201cIt will be more like making phone calls or going to a bookstore than like tuning conventional television channels.\u201d Here's a preview: Programming: The next wave of new special-interest services will sign on within a year.Performing arts, comedy, nature, science fiction, country music, documentaries, animation and other genres might get their own channels.Even an all-Bugs Bunny station could pop up.Movies: The electronic video store is emerging.Viewers will order up movies for home viewing from a long list of recent releases without trotting down to the corner rental shop.Schedules: An on-screen TV guide \u2014 featuring graphics and perhaps live hosts \u2014 will help viewers wade through the flood of programs.\u201cIt'll have to be easy to find things,\u201d says Mike Leahy of the media division at Nielsen Marketing Research in Markham, Ont.And digital technology will let people store many shows on disc, much like computer files.Program\u201d ming VCRs and rewinding tapes could become things of the past.Interaction: The audience will be part of the show.Viewers could control camera angles during a hockey game, hit fast-forward during a newscast, decide plot twists of a mystery movie or try out the latest video game.This development, like many others, could-be in place by the end of the decade.Shopping: Home-shopping services might allow viewers to visually stroll down the store aisle.À small printer beside the TV could spew out receipts, coupons, credits or product information.Advertising: As services become narrowly focused, so will commercials.À network devoted to jus- Facts of TV watchers By The Canadian Press Canadians spend an average of 5.4 per cent of their TV viewing time watching video cassettes.Other statistics on TV viewing, by source, in Canada: Canadian conventional stations (such as CBC) \u2014 64.9 per cent of viewing.Foreign conventional stations (such as CBS) \u2014 18.9 per cent.Canadian specialty and pay services (such as TSN) \u2014 6.8 per cent.Foreign specialty and pay services (such as CNN) \u2014 3.3 per cent.Unknown sources \u2014 0.7 per cent.(Source:

\u2014 a slick, entertaining sales pitch \u2014 will be common.\u201cIt will be designed for people who are highly motivated to watch them,\u201d says Ellis.Advertisers might give viewers discount coupons for watching their infomercial.Canadian content: The number of Canadian services will increase.But some believe that enforcing content quotas will prove increasingly difficult as the players and programs multiply.Technology: À \u201cmagic box\u201d atop the TV set will probably be the pipeline for the new services.But a fight is brewing between cable and telephone companies for access to the box.Complicating the picture are new high-powered satellite services that plan to beam hundreds of channels to tiny backyard dishes.Avid viewers might receive programming by cable, telephone wire and satellite.Violence: Broadcasters across North America are under political pressure to clean up the airwaves.Even so, each \u201cmagic box\u201d will likely have a \u201cV-chip\u201d so parents can block violent programs.TV set: Digital technology will improve picture and sound quality.

drink or do drugs, and all is well except for our lovemaking.Since Day One, my husband has had a sexual appetite that is insatiable.It's every morning, every night and all weekend long.Sex is on his mind constantly, and I am exhausted.If I say I'm not in the mood, or I just don't feel up to it, he becomes angry, accuses me of rejecting him and insists that I tell him what is wrong.When I say, \"Nothing is wrong,\" he doesn't believe me.I have suggested that we see a counselor, but he says, \"What for?We don't have a problem.\" He claims his sexual appetite is normal and he loves me so much, he wants me all the time.Perhaps I should be thankful that my husband finds me so desirable, but I simply don't have as big an appetite for sex as he does, and he is wearing me out.Sometimes he forces himself on me and keeps assuring me that I will enjoy it \"after a while.\u201d This makes me angry, and I feel violated.If I'm not into it from the beginning, it never gets any better.We have two young, energetic children.I hold a full-time job and have a house to keep up, meals to prepare and laundry to do.None of this makes a bit of difference to him.He wants me to stop whatever I am doing and accommodate him.I am at my wit's end and need your help.- DEBBIE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DEBBIE: There is something at work here besides your husband's \"love\" for you.A man who really loves a woman does not force himself on her and tell her she will \"enjoy it after a while.\" Your husband needs to find out where all this sexual aggressiveness Ann Landers \u2014 is coming from and how to get it under control.Insist that he see a counselor with you.If he refuses, go yourself.Many wives accommodate their husbands occasionally even though they don't feel like it, but what you have been experiencing sounds very close to marital rape, and you should not have to put up with it.Dear Ann Landers: Several years ago, I received a telephone call from a man who claimed he was my half-brother.He explained that my father (who was married at the time) had had an affair with his mother.She was very young, naive and unable to keep the child.She gave him up for adoption a few days after he was born, and his adoptive parents never told him that he was not their biological son.He found out about his adoption when looking through some family papers after his adoptive father died.His natural mother is dead, and so are my parents.I have absolutely no desire to meet this person.I have a happy life with my wife and children and am beginning to resent his ever-increasing phone calls and letters.Please tell me what you think.- NERVOUS IN NEWARK DEAR NEWARK: I think you have the right to be left alone.The next time this intruder phones, tell him so in no uncertain terms.Rewm his letters, unopened, marked \"Addressee Unknown.\u201d And get an § unlisted telephone number.Gem of the Day: Everyone should travel, if only to get a fresh appreciation for the comforts

By Ian Bailey ST.JOHN'S, Nfld.(CP) \u2014 Thousands of Atlantic fishery workers will be forced to go to school or work before receiving assistance cheques under a new five-year aid program announced today.The move will end the more passive aid already extended for more than two years to over 20,000 people thrown out of work because of declining stocks of such bottom-dwelling fish as northern cod, said federal Fisheries Minister Brian Tobin.But Ottawa will take another six weeks to figure out how to proceed on its long-expected move to mothball half the troubled fishery.The delay and the need to talk to parties ranging from the provinces to the industry means department officials cannot yet say exactly how many workers will be permanently laid off.The new program will replace aid packages set to expire May 15, but it will take the rest of the year to set it up, said Tobin.The workers will continue receiving their cheques, but payments will be cut by six per cent to an average $282 from $301.In 1992, the then-governing Tories imposed a two-year ban on fishing for northern cod off eastern Newfoundland and launched a two-year aid program that Tobin replaced Tuesday.The Northern Cod Adjustment and Recovery Program has provided needed cash for Decreased traffic causing shortfall St.Lawrence Seaway facing tough financial times By Jeff Heinrich Montreal Gazette OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The St.Lawrence Seaway turned 35 this week and it has never been less used, more in debt and more in need of an overhaul.Only 15 years ago, the seaway was booming.Then came the twin recessions of the 1980s.In a little over a decade, the 3,800-kilometre waterway, stretching from Anticosti Island in the east to the head of Lake Superior in the west, has lost much of its business.The volume of cargo passing through the seaway has dropped by half since the late 1970s \u2014 to 32 million tonnes last year.Shipments of U.S.and Canadian grain and iron ore from Quebec and Labrador, the bulk of the seaway\u2019s business, are way down: 12 million tonnes of grain in 1992, compared with 23 million in 1980; 16 million tonnes of ore in 1992 against 26 million in 1979.Coal traffic has dropped 25 per cent, largely because of power surpluses at Ontario Hydro, which has favored nuclear production.Costs have increased for the shipping companies using the seaway: an average $17,000 a voyage to pass through 15 locks between Lake Superior and the St.Lambert Locks opposite Montreal, compared with $1,300 (in current dollars) when the seaway opened in 1959.In this decade, the St.Lawrence Seaway Authority \u2014 the Crown corporation that runs the system on the Canadian side \u2014 has racked up annual deficits of more than $10 million and has stayed afloat only by dipping into reserves from better years.Today, the authority only has many but has failed to lure significant numbers of workers away from the industry.The announcement ended months of anxiety for workers, politicians and others who have worried about the future of assistance that has kept thousands off welfare.Newfoundland will be most affected by the new plan.Almost 80 per cent of the 30,000 fishermen and plant workers expected to be eligible for the new plan live in the province.The rest are enough financial reserves to keep its head safely above water another two years, president Glendon Stewart recently told a Commons committee.Over the last four years, the authority has cut one-quarter of its staff and shaved $12 million in operating costs.Nevertheless, it expects a $5.4-million shortfall this year.By 1997, if business doesn\u2019t pick up substantially, the Crown corporation could lose its independence, Stewart said.Either the government will have to start subsidizing the sea- in Nova Scotia, Quebec, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.The workers will have to hit the books to improve their level of schooling \u2014 a demand that could see them doing everything from basic adult education to college courses, Tobin said.Those not in school will toil on various jobs, including collecting abandoned nets and helping fisheries scientists.Federal departments across the region are also being canvas- way or private companies will have to take over some of its operations.Stewart said $45 million in repairs to bridges and locks will be necessary before the end of the decade.The seaway is the \u201clifeline to Canada\u2019s industrial heartland\u201d and it\u2019s facing a crisis that threatens its survival, Peter Cres- swell, chief executive of ship- and-rail company Algoma Central Corp., said in a speech this month.The Commons committee of seven MPs studying the seaway must report in June to the Liberal government, which is looking Canadian diplomat whooping it up in

hits.DiEmanuele occasionally takes to the microphone.\u201cMy version of My Way has been perfected a thousand times over.It's all part and parcel of what I do and they (clients) love it.\u201cIt\u2019s a good thing my wife is so understanding.She realizes this isn't a 9-to-5 kind of job.\u201d The wining and dining isn\u2019t frivolous by Japanese standards.After-hours entertaining is a prerequisite for serious business Record profits for DETROIT (AP) \u2014 Driven by strong sales of minivans, Jeeps and pickups, Chrysler Corp.said today it earned $938 million US in the first three months of the year, the most profitable quarter in company history.The earnings surpassed the previous record of $801 million set in the second quarter of 1984.Earnings per share for this year\u2019s January-March period were $2.55, Chrysler said.Sales for the quarter totalled $13.2 billion, up from $10.9 billion in the same period last year.In March, Chrysler sold more cars and trucks than in any other month in its 69-year history.Chrysler was the first of the Big Three to report 1994 first- quarter earnings.General Motors Corp.and Ford Motor Co.will follow next week, with each expected to report quarterly profits of $1 billion or more.Chrysler's stock has climbed to above $60 earlier this year from about $10 a share in 1992.It closed Monday unchanged at $50.87% on the New York Stock Exchange.Analysts say no letup is in sight for Chrysler, the No.3 automaker.\u201cI think they have quite a bit further to go in gaining market share .because of the huge array of new models they're introducing,\u201d said David Healy, in Japan, where the people who make purchasing decisions often need to be wooed for months before theyll consider inking a deal.\u201cEstablishing a personal relationship is very important,\u201d DiE- manuele explains.\u201cPeople here want to take their time to get to know you better before theyré ready to make a deal.\u201cAnd if they don\u2019t like you, they simply won't do business with you.\u201d Once they like him, DiEma- nuele can move in and do his main job, selling distributors and importers on the quality of Canadian products and arranging meetings with interested Canadian companies.It\u2019s an approach that seems to be working.Niagara winemakers, for example, are delighted Chrysler who watches the automotive industry for S.G.Warburg and Co.in New York.Chrysler lost $4.4 billion, or $13.68 per share, in the first quarter of 1993, but that included onetime charges of $4.9 billion for changes in accounting for retiree health and other benefits.Profits from operations that quarter were $530 million.Chrysler\u2019s board in March approved a $1.8-billion plan to expand production by more than one-third in the next two years adding, among other things, capacity to build hot-selling Jeep Grand Cherokee sport-utility vehicles and Dodge Ram pickup trucks.Profits boost Philip Morris stock NEW YORK (AP) \u2014 Philip Morris Cos.Inc.posted a 59 per cent increase in earnings for the first quarter compared with results depressed by an accounting charge a year ago.Excluding the accounting charge, the tobacco and food conglomerate\u2019s profit was off 3.5 per cent largely because it was charging more for premium cigarettes a year ago.But even at that, the company said Tuesday, its latest results exceded most analysts\u2019 expectations.Its stock price jumped in the wake of the report.Philip Morris effectively slashed the price of its Marlboro cigarettes in the second quarter of 1993 and drove the industry into a price war.A truce was put into effect last fall but premium prices are still lower than a year ago.For the quarter ended March 31, Philip Morris earned $1.17 billion US, or $1.34 a share, compared with $737 milliion, or 84 cents a share, a year earlier.2853574-6651 SECURITY GUARD ASSISTANT, Granby.$300week (JDP REG), temporary, April 18 to October 28, 1994.Be eligible to job

doing what is impossible for talent is genius.\u201d In bridge, we call someone a genius because he or she finds imaginative and successful bids or plays that other experts miss.Today\u2019s deal, which isn\u2019t very difficult, tripped up some declarers at last year\u2019s world championships.As South\u2019s rebid of two no-trump doesn\u2019t deny four spades, you and your partner should discuss the follow-up auctions that are used to uncover eight-card major-suit fits.First, check your top tricks.There arc seven: three spades, three diamonds and one club.Obviously, if the diamonds are worth five tricks, you are home.But as you have a sure heart trick available and your club spots are so strong, you should take a safety- play to guarantee four diamond tricks.After winning the first trick with the club ace, you should cash the diamond ace (in case the jack is single) before leading a low diamond to dummy\u2019s nine.(Or lead immediately to the nine.) On a good day, West will play low from jack-fourth.But let\u2019s suppose East wins with the jack and switches to a spade.You win with the king and cash your diamond winners, discarding one spade and two hearts from the dummy.Then you lead the heart queen, guaranteeing nine tricks.You can lose at most one heart, one diamond and two clubs.The actual declarers started with two top diamonds.As you can see by looking at all four hands, it is possible to recover from this false start, but none did.© 1904, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.Wednesday, April 20, 1994 D) Your .) Birthday Wednesday, April 20, 1994 Interesting changes might be in the offing for you in the year ahead in several areas of your life simultaneously.The most important could pertain to your material circumstances.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) It might be wise today to try to operate independently of others instead of through partnership arrangements, especially if your counterpart is as strong willed as you are.Tuarus, treat yourself to a birthday gift.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) Your probabilities for material gains are only nominal today, so don't push your luck beyond its limitations.If you do, the rubber band could snap and bring down your house of cards.CANCER (June 21-July 22) Normally you're a rather cautious person, but today you might step out of character and be a risk taker.When the odds are lopsided, there is usually a pretty good reason for it.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) In your own mind's eye today, you may look upon incomplete endeavors as finished work.This could cause you to stop trying just when you should begin pushing harder.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) Today if your logic and intuition are in conflict, to be on It really lives up to its name It never strikes us the same You're going to see Jay Peak!
