[" NANCY CRAWFORD 3N SHERBROOKE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL 40 cents QPF: Oka shooters punks, not warriors OKA (CP) \u2014 Shots fired at police near the Mohawk community of Kanesatake last weekend had nothing to do with recent tensions over aland dispute, police said Tuesday.\u201cThey're just young crazies.Hooligans, bandits,\u201d Quebec Police ,Force spokesman Cst.Michel Brunet said of the gunmen who fired at four officers responding to a burglary alarm late Saturday night.Brunet said the young Mohawks broke into the club house of a golf course simply to draw police to the site.Air! (ix Once there, police arrested one man armed with an automatic rifle but then immediately came under fire from gunmen hidden in the surrounding woods.\u201cIt was an ambush,\u201d said Brunet, adding that police were lucky that none of the officers was hit by the dozens of rounds fired at them.Even if the golf course is at the centre of the current land dispute \u2014 as it was during the summer- long Oka crisis of 1990 \u2014 Brunet said the weekend gunfire had nothing to do with politics or land claims.2 2e there® Christian Maratier and his brother Daniel are working to save the environment while they give themselves a chance to work.For more on what they do and how they do it, please turn the page.Instead, he said, the men who fired on police were just out for vengeance after an altercation earlier in the day.\u201cWe'd tried to arrest them a couple hours earlier on outstanding warrants and they weren't happy so they wanted to kill a policeman because of that,\u201d Brunet said.When QPF technicians returned to the golf club to gather evidence Sunday afternoon, they were also shot at from the woods.A Mohawk man was arraigned Monday on 12 charges arising from the incident.Guy Cataford, 26, was charged with conspiracy to commit murder, breaking and entering and several gun-related offences.The weekend shooting shattered a sense of optimism that emerged last week that some of the problems in the 1300-strong Kanesatake community were on their way to being resolved.Mohawks who had been expanding a cemetery on land claimed by both the band and the municipality of Oka, which runs the golf course, agreed to stop their work and return to the negotiating table last Tuesday.While shots ringing out near Oka are often heard at all hours, community members said Sunday\u2019s shooting was different.\u201cPeople were firing at each other,\u201d said one woman.\u201cNormally it\u2019s just into the air.I don\u2019t know how many guns are on the community but one is too many.\u201d On Monday, the QPF issued an arrest warrant for a Kanesa- take man who allegedly issued death threats June 1 against Oka Mayor Jean Ouellette and Marcel Hardy, the

us\u2019 RECORD/GRANT SIMEON Fabrikant not the only one Johnson: Voting for PQ means yes to sovereignty By Don Macdonald QUEBEC (CP)\u2014It may not be on the ballot, but voters will be passing judgment on separatism in this year\u2019s provincial election, Premier Daniel Johnson said Tuesday.The election will in effect be a referendum to separate similar to the sovereignty-association vote in 1980, Johnson said at the National Assembly.\u201cThe PQ are saying that if.elected (they) are going to initiate the process of separation right then and there.So to that extent it\u2019s a referendum,\u201d he said.\u201cIt\u2019s exactly what René Léves- que asked in the referendum of 1980.And that has yet to be understood.\u201d Johnson, who must call an election by Oct.11, accused PQ Leader Jacques Parizeau of trying to hide his party's plans to begin the march to independence even before winning a referendum to separate.\u201cThey\u2019re trying to hoodwink us into believing that the election is nothing special and it\u2019s the referendum a year later that will make the difference,\u201d he said.\u201c- But that\u2019s not true.The election will make the difference.\u201d \u201cPeople have to know what they're voting for.The election will determine Quebec\u2019s future.\u201d The PQ platform says that if the party forms the government it will quickly pass a resolution in the Assembly stating Quebec\u2019s intention to become sovereign.Concordia report names more bad guys By Rob Bull MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Some of Valery Fabrikant\u2019s allegations of academic impropriety before he murdered colleagues at Concor- dia University were true, a stinging new report says.\u201cWe certainly found that some of the accusations Fabrikant made againgt his colleagues were true,\u201d said Harry Arthurs, chairman of the committee that released its report Tuesday.\u201cBut we do not intent or accept that these criticism should be read as diminishing Dr.Fabri- kant\u2019s responsibility for the tragedy.\u201d The report was commissioned after four professors were fatally shot at Concordia by Fabrikant in 1992, Fabrikant, a former professor of engineering, said he shot his colleagues after they stole his research and stymied his attempts to win tenure at Concordia.The report says some of those accused by Fabrikant had been involved in conflicts of interests with industry or did not follow proper procedures in dealing with outside research.Engineering professors used university facilities to fulfill pri- Flying solo doesn\u2019t work vate research contracts without reimbursing Concordia, the report says.Professor Seshadri Shankar and others spent large amounts of time on paid work outside their academic duties.His brother, professor T.S.Shankar, was credited for research done by Fabrikant, the report says.Fabrikant is serving a life sentence for shooting his four colleagues.He is appealing the guilty verdict in his trial and his sentence.The Supreme Court of Canada rejected his bid last week to have his trial re-opened.Single mothers suffering worst on the job market By Dennis Bueckert OTTAWA (CP) Solo mothers with preschool children are having a tough time in the job market while their married counterparts make steady gains.The employment situation has been especially difficult for single mothers who never married, Statistics Canada figures indicate.In 1993, only 26 per cent of never-married solo mothers with a child under age six found jobs outside the home, while 43.7 per cent of separated or divorced mothers did so.But 60 per cent of married mothers with preschoolers found jobs outside the home \u2014 almost double the proportion of the mid-1970s.The figures raise stark questions about the economic prospects for unmarried teenagers who decide to raise children on their own.\u201cSometimes, hallelujah choruses are raised about keeping your child if you become unexpectedly pregnant and perhaps that\u2019s not such a good idea,\u201d Susan Cromp- ton, a Statistics Canada analyst, said in an interview Tuesday.Solo mothers are younger on average than their married, divorced or separated counterparts and tend to have less education or work experience, the study found.Unlike divorced and separated mothers, they often can\u2019t look for financial support from an ex- partner to help them pay for training or daycare.\u201cIt\u2019s really a struggle for them.They are vulnerable,\u201d said Robert Glossop of the Vanier Institute of the Family.He said governments should be thinking about the opportunities for training and childcare available.to this group.Studies have found that between 70 and 90 per cent of unmarried teenagers who give See SINGLE Page 2 The latest report is another serious blow to the credibility of Concordia University.A separate report last week blasted the university for its lax handling of problem employees such as Fabrikant.Universities need to reemphasize learning rather than the pursuit of research grants and industrial contracts, the report said.University funding goes to engineering professors who are See FABRIKANT Page 2 A PQ government would also begin drafting a Quebec constitution and open negotiations with Ottawa on transferring power to Quebec and dividing the federal debt, the platform states.Under the party plan, a referendum to separate from Canada and the new constitution will be held within eight to 10 months of a PQ election victory.In 1980, the PQ asked Quebe- cers for a mandate to negotiate sovereignty with the rest of Canada.The negotiations would have had to be ratified by a second referendum, but the referendum was defeated.Johnson said an internal party poll suggests that only 22 per cent of Quebecers think the PQ will take an election victory as a mandate to begin the process of separation.But Parizeau ridiculed Johnson\u2019s statements, saying they are a \u201cpathetic\u201d attempt by the Liberals to hold on to power.The Liberals have trailed the PQ badly in recent polls, especially among the crucial francophone majority.And with support for sovereignty hovering around 50 per cent, Johnson admitted that he hopes to win the election by turning it into a referendum on independence.\u201cThe election certainly would settle it quite clearly.So I\u2019m still keen on making the elction the real poll on it.\u201d By Sandra Rubin and Don Macdonald The Canadian Press Canada\u2019s top banking regulator crossed swords with the Parti Québécois Tuesday, saying bankers have every right to put their two cents into the national-unity debate.\u201cI think all Canadians have to get into this debate,\u201d said Michael Mackenzie, the federal superintendent of financial institutions.\u201cWe have to look at the hard, hard issues.\u201d Mackenzie suggested that Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau made independence everybodys business by recently saying the province could withhold its share of the national debt if the rest of Canada drags its heels in negotiating separation.\u201cMr.Parizeau has come out and said.\u2018We will agree to Parizeau, banks in war of words pay the interest on the national debt \u2014 our share of it.And if you're not good boys we won't even pay that\u2019 \u201d \u201cIt sounds to me like they're saying \u2018We want independence but we want the rest of Canada to pay for it\u2019 \u201d Mackenzie said following a speech to insurance executives in Toronto.PQ leader Jacques Parizeau continued his counterattack Tuesday, warning that financial institutions that get their fingernails dirty with Quebec politics will get their knuckles rapped by the separatist party.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you handle the money and we will handle the politics?\u201d Parizeau asked at the legislature.\u201cWhenever they start playing the political game someone must step on their toes and say: \u2018Watch out.\u201d \u201d See BANKS Page 2 Ri A Ph ;

Bosnia Thursday By Stephen Ward POITIERS, France (CP) \u2014 Prime Minister Jean Chretien said Tuesday he will visit Canadian peacekeepers in Bosnia, saying they are striving for peace just like other Canadian soldiers did on D-Day 50 years ago.Chretien, touring France, confirmed hell go Thursday to the Canadian base in Visoko, northwest of Sarajevo.The prime minister said it is fitting that he go to Bosnia after attending 50th anniversary D- Day ceremonies in Normandy.\u201cI thought it was a good occasion for me at the end of this trip to go to Bosnia and to visit Canadians who are there with the same spirit and same determination that animated those brave soldiers that came 50 years ago to the shores of Normandy,\u201d Chretien said.About 1,900 Canadian troops are serving with the UN in former Yugoslavia \u2014 1,100 in Croatia and 800 in Bosnia- Herzegovina.Chretien, who will be accompanied by Gen.John de Chaste- laine, chief of defence staff, flies to Bosnia from Paris.Chretien \u2018It only takes 10 members\u2019 arrives in Paris later today for talks with Mayor Jacques Chirac.In Visoko, Chretien will talk with soldiers, award medals and visit an observation post off camp.He returns to Paris on Thursday evening.A Chretien spokesman said Chretien wants to see the situation for himself in Bosnia before the Group of Seven summit in Naples next month.Bosnia will be on the summit\u2019s agenda.Chretien made the Bosnia announcement as he visited Futurescope, an amusement park in southwestern France.He watched large-screen IMAX films based on technology developed in Toronto.The prime minister said some French officials have asked him about the issue of Quebec sovereignty.\u201cThey wanted to know what was going on and they were pretty happy to see me very relaxed,\u201d said Chretien.Earlier, Chretien lectured the mayor of St-Malo, a port in western France, on the need for Canadian protection of depleted cod stocks off Newfoundland.The mayor, Rene Couanau, complained when Chretien visited him at St-Malo city hall.Couanau said many local fisherman are no longer fishing because Canada is preventing foreign vessels from working in international waters off the Grand Banks.\u201cThere is no more cod,\u201d Chretien said in French to Couanau.Chretien said there is a need for greater international cooperation to help the depleted cod stocks recover.Chretien said 50,000 people in Atlantic Canada are out of work because of the cod moratorium.Chretien added that seals are eating more cod because of a reduced Newfoundland seal hunt \u2014 partly the result of European pressure.Later, Chretien said he was \u201c- very surprised\u201d that Conanau raised the fish issue and it was based on lack of knowledge.\u201cThey were surprised to know that the Canadian fishermen were not fishing (cod) anymore,\u201d Chretien said.\u201cThere was a kind of impression that we had kicked out everybody to keep it only for Canadians.\u201d Sikhs should form own legion, commander says By Gloria Galloway TORONTO (CP) \u2014 Sikh veterans who find themselves unwanted in a branch of the Royal Canadian Legion should start their own, a legion commander in Canada\u2019s largest city said Tuesday.\u201cOne thing that sticks in our mind is why the Sikh community does not form their own legion,\u201d Martin Venman said at a news conference honoring a Toronto branch for allowing members to wear religious headgear like turbans.\u201cIt only takes 10 members.\u201d Legion members voted at a convention in Calgary last week to turn down a bylaw permitting Sikhs, Jews and others to wear religious headgear in public areas of all branches.Branches, however, can set their own policies \u2014 as has been done in Calgary, where members are allowed to wear cowboy hats during the Calgary Stampede.The commendation presented Tuesday by B'nai Brith Canada, a Jewish organization, recognized the General Wingate branch in Toronto for permitting Sikh turbans and yarmulkes, worn by Jews.But Venman appeared to take the commendation as a criticism of branches that have not opened their doors in a similar fashion.\u201cYou must respect the branches that have had the \u2018no headgear policy\u2019 for 75 years.\u201d Legions have traditionally prohibited hats out of respect for the war dead, but people whose religions require them to wear headgear say they mean no disrespect.Venman\u2019s suggestion that Sikhs from legion branches got an angry response from Frank Dimant, vice-president of B'nai Brith.\u201cIf the Sikh comrades who fought in any wars want to go into any legion hall, then they should be entitled to,\u201d said Dimant, who offered the services of B'nai Brith to educate legionnaires on human rights.T.Sher Singh, a Toronto lawyer and human rights activist, said Sikhs don\u2019t want to start their own legions because \u201cthey believe that all institutions must treat and welcome all Canadians equally.\u201d The controversy over religious headgear began when a legion \u2018Thought it was a big joke\u2019 \u2014 customer branch near Vancouver refused to admit five Sikhs wearing turbans after a 1993 Remembrance Day ceremony.Singh said he believes the majority of Canadians do not agree with the exclusionary policy adopted by some legion branches.\u201cThe turban represents who I am.It represents my spiritual basis,\u201d said Singh, whose religion demands that all baptized males wear a turban as a visible sign of their affiliation.Poor shots jailed for shootout TUCSON, Ariz.(AP) \u2014 Tristan Rossum and Jonathan Brown Jr.won't win any awards for marksmanship.But how about luck?The ex-friends decided to resolve their dispute with a 12-gauge shotgun shootout at 10 paces, authorities say.Fortunately, neither could hit the other.Rossum, 18, and Brown, 19, have been jailed under $17,500 bonds since Sunday\u2019s faceoff, each charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, sheriffs Det.Warren Hock said Tuesday.\u201cWe don\u2019t have a felony stupid rule yet,\u201d he said.Hock said Brown, who is unemployed, had accused Ros- sum, who works in a fast-food restaurant, of stealing $1,000 from him.Four friends who accompanied the men and witnessed the incident said the two decided to go at it in a parking lot.They fired three to seven rounds at each other as soon as they got out of their cars, Hock Postie handed out watermelon jokes with MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Canada Post plans to ask a mailman why he distributed a mock job- application form replete with racist comments about blacks \u2014 including references to venereal disease and watermelons.Vernon Breau, 28, filed a complaint last Thursday after his regular postman handed him an application form that reinforced negative stereotypes about blacks.The two-page document, titled Application Form for Negroes, featured 19 questions, including: \u2014 How many people have you transmitted venereal disease to?\u2014 Source of revenue.Theft or unemployment?\u2014 What is your father\u2019s name?(if you know him).\u2014 What is your favorite food?(watermelon, coconut or fried banana).The form, written in French, tells applicants not to include pictures of themselves because \u201call blacks look the same.\u201d Breau, who works as a freight BANKS: Continued from page one Lloyd Atkinson, the Bank of Montreal\u2019s chief economist, said last week the PQ would create \u201ca great deal of fear\u201d in financial markets if it treated a provincial election victory as a mandate to start negotiating separation.Parizeau insisted Tuesday that such predictions are fear- mongering and he will not hesitate to denounce efforts to scare Quebecers out of voting for the PQ.\u201cSome of them have tried to frighten Quebecers.I will always be on the side of Quebe- cers.I will always defend them,\u201d said the PQ leader, who added he\u2019s been rebutting scare tactics since the 1960s.However, he denied reports that a PQ candidate had threatened to cut brokerage houses out of Quebec government work if the party wins power in the upcoming election.The election must be called by Oct.11 and Parizeau has promised a referendum to separate eight to 10 months after a PQ victory.Premier Daniel Johnson also entered the banking brouhaha Tuesday, saying financial ana- Charles Bury, Editor CIRCULATION

Maratier and his partner started the Corporation d\u2019Intervention de travail envi- ronmemtal Estrie, or C.1.T.E.E., five months ago.They now pay ten people who are still collecting welfare an extra $100 a month just to give them work experience.\u201cWe have ten people who weren't doing anything and felt bad about it who are now doing something useful and getting experience,\u201d Maratier said.\u201cHopefully if things continue to improve we'll be able to hire this staff and maybe some more when the program runs out.\u201d Under the current program, the company is supposed to employ these staffers for six months.After that, they are supposed to enter the regular workforce.Maratier said if he can start accumulating enough supplies for his staff to restore or recycle so the company can pay them, he\u2019ll try and bring in more people on another program to give them experience too.\u201cThey get experience in carpentry, electricity, and construction work,\u201d Maratier said.\u201cAnd whatever we get, we become experts in how to use it pretty quickly.\u201d Take computers, for example.Computers now become obselete daily, and many of the older ones have ended up in garbage dumps, taking up space and, according to Maratier, setting an environmental time bomb.\u201cRight now it's cheap to put it in a landfill and forget about it, but we'll pay later,\u201d he said.\u201cYou can\u2019t put some of these things into the ground and not have them react badly.\u201d So what Maratier and his coworkers do is strip the computer of all its parts.The plastic circuit

was killed when his four-wheeler flipped near the village of very rough terrain, said duty supervisor Sgt.André Moreau.This is the sixth fatality on a four wheeler in the Eastern Townships since 1986.Due to a lack of regulations the victims are often young and have never learned to drive properly.Moreau said users of four wheelers must be careful and take appropriate safety measures to

if they aren't sold, won't the business lose money?Sure, Maratier said.\u201cWe're not here to make money,\u201d Maratier said.\u201cI'll be happy if these guys work and do something useful and we all

do.\u201d Now Maratier wants to build a regular chain where companies will call C.I.T.E.E.when they have things to throw away, and people who have old appliances or other products will drop the items off at the warehouse.And if his plan works, people will pay what they can afford for the items the company has resto- RECORD PHOTOS/GRANT SIMEON The RECORD-\u2014Wednesday, June 8, 1994\u20143 red, or

really needs something, like if a family lost everything in a fire and needed a stove, we'd give it to them.\u201d Maratier knows this isn\u2019t the way you make a fortune, but for him, taking 150 old, ruined school desks they got from the Catholic school board in Sherboo- ke and making 80 high-quality, useable desks out of them is enough.And what they can be sold for isn\u2019t that important.These restored desks are for sale at CITELE.s warehouse.Caution: Miracle cancer cure completely phoney, say police SHERBROOKE \u2014 City police are warning citizens to be on the lookout for one or more people selling phoney medicine.The fake medicine is supposed to come from India, and its peddlers claim it has the ability to cure cancer.Victims are usually people who are close to someone who has cancer.À man posing as a Montreal doctor calls the victim and guarantees that the medicine will eliminate the cancer within two months.The cost of the medicine is $4000.If a person says no to the offer, the bogus doctor usually pressures the victim by saying something like \u201c$4000 is not much to save someone\u2019s life.\u201d The \u2018doctor\u2019 then arranges to have the victim meet with either himselfor his secretary to pick up the medicine and a receipt for the purchase.This meeting usually takes place on the same day as the initial phone call.Anyone having any information about this case should contact Det.Roger Dion of the Sherbrooke police at 821-5544.er re plagues Moisson Estrie By Rita, Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 Moisson Estrie, a local organization which helps feed the needy in the Sherbrooke area, has been forced to refuse truckloads of free food because it can\u2019t always afford to go and get it.The food bank, which acts as a middleman between large companies donating surplus food and about 50 different community organizations such as soup kitchens, religious orders, and support groups for single-parent families, is about halfway through it\u2019s 1994 fundraising campaign.Director Gilles Duquette said that early this year Moisson was forced to refuse 50,000 tonnes of surplus food from Montreal because it could not afford transportation costs.Most of the food distributed by Moisson comes from Montreal where it is gathered by a provincial federation headed by the Mouvement Desjardins and food giant Culinar.They solicit perishable foods from large companies which is then distributed throughout Quebec to various Moisson branches.BUDGET EATER Last year Moisson Estrie travelled a total of 30,000 kilometres \u2014 18,000 kilometres to Montreal \u2014 picking up and distributing food.That costs a bundle when you consider the cost of renting a 10-wheeler, gas and insurance costs, Duquette said.Volunteers often drive the trucks, and now, Les Petroles de .Sherbrookes has donated free \u2018gas, he said.But trucking still : eats up the Lion's share of Mois- \u201c son\u2019s budget.Duquette said the main aim of \u2018the fundraising campaign is to \u2018raise money for transportation * and other operation costs such as : rent and pay for workers, most of * whom are on a government \u201cEx- ; tra\u201d program working donating thelr t time to supplement their Bs.Getting transportation isa constant ; problem facing Moisson Estrie.meagre monthly welfare cheques.Workers, who get a $100 supplement on their welfare cheque, work 20 hours a week sorting and repackaging perishable foods, often cutting vegetables and fruit which is bruised or beginning to rot.Moisson Estrie gets $100 per worker hired on the program, but returns half of it to the workers by providing them with bus passes and other small benefits.\u201cWe're poor, but we certainly aren\u2019t going to exploit these people,\u201d Duquette said.GROWING NEED The food bank, which opened in 1988, handed out 44,000 kilos of food in it\u2019s first year of operation.Today, it goes through that much in a single month.Duquette, who following cutbacks is the only paid staffer at Moisson, estimates that for every dollar it spends, it distributes $8 worth of food to organizations like La Grande Table restaurant for needy families, Meals on Wheels and the Salvation Army.On Wednesday La Chaudron- né, a Laurier Street soup kitchen, and Cuisine Collectives, a group which helps needy families by bringing them together to plan and cook healthy meals, stopped by for free groceries which included mostly 50-lbs bags of spanish onions, \u201cBecause we don\u2019t buy the food we have no control over the quantity or type of food we have to offer,\u201d he said, adding that while the cold storage and rooms were almost empty on Tuesday, \u201csometimes I have a hard time getting into my office.\u201d Soeur Francine Michaud from Les Petites Soeurs de la Sainte Famille also dropped by yesterday to pick up a couple of bags of groceries for a needy local family.She said the breadwinner, a man in his fifties, was out of work and couldn\u2019t find a job.ESSENTIAL SERVICE \u201cIt\u2019s a really a necessity,\u201d Soeur Francine said, adding that her order regulary looks to Moisson Estrie to help out needy families who come to them for help.Duquette said community organizations come by once a week on specific days to pick up whatever Moisson Estrie has to offer.\u201cAbout four or five times a year, I have to call them and tell them not to come,\u201d he said, adding that he hopes for the day when that won't happen.He hopes a successful fundrai- sing campaign will help him in that goal.About 20 per cent of Moisson Estrie\u2019s annual budget of $100,000 budget comes from the provincial government through the regional health and social service board.The rest comes from private and corporate donations.The goal of this year\u2019s fundrai- sing campaign is about $40,000.But Duquette said a lot more would be needed to expand and improve services.\u201cOur needs are bigger because we have other projects we'd like to do,\u201d he said.\u201cBut $40,000 » would allow us to continue providing the strict minimum.\u2019 In the past, Moisson Estrie has been involved in a number of local initiatives for the needy including the creation of a group of collective kitchens.NEW SERVICE He said the group would like to create a food bank which could provide services to individuals, and soliticit non perishable foods from individuals and local businesses.But that would require an additional $25,000.For the past month or so the food bank has been soliticiting donations by mail, by phone and through personal contacts.It is encouraging people to give monthly donations through their banks or Caisse Populaire.\u201cEven $2 or $5 a month can add up to a lot,\u201d Duquette said, adding that seven to 10 per cent of the group\u2019s funding comes from such donations.Moisson Estrie has also formed a small committee to seek corporate donations of money or free services.\u201cOther Moissons have free trucks and we still hope to get one,\u201d he said.\u201cPeople here are just as generous as those in other regions.\u201d Duquette adds that donations of services can be even more helpful than money because they cut expenses and multiply the number of partners involved in feeding the needy.Gilles Duquette.Soeur Francine Michaud.Lise Bernier collects food for a needy Sherbrooke family, \u2018Our needs are

already Sheila Copps has come out as the clear winner of this month\u2019s Pierre Elliot Trudeau finger prize for poor taste by a politician.The deputy prime minister has missed another excellent chance to shut up, with her hysterical complaint that Lucien Bouchard had no right to lay a wreath beneath the Cenotaph at a D-Day memorial parade.The remark was insensitive, inappropriate, and most of all, dead wrong.Tens of thousands of Quebecers gave their lives in the Hitler war of 1939-45.Hundreds of them died on D-Day.Does Mrs.Copps really suppose that not one of those brave souls might have ever felt some small measure of pro-Quebec feeling?What about Quebec\u2019s surviving veterans?What about those who lost loved ones?They must count for nothing in her book.In last year\u2019s election the majority of Quebecers voted for Bloc Québécois candidates.Thus the majority of Quebecers now live in ridings represented by BQ members in Ottawa.That goes for the Eastern Townships too, by the way.Like it or not, unless you live in Sherbrooke, Lennoxville or Fleurimont, chances are if you're reading this, your MP belongs to the Bloc.So when the wreaths were laid in Ottawa last weekend, Mr.Bouchard was simply doing his duty, and representing you and me.Would Mrs.Copps have preferred that the majority of Quebec voters be left out of the remembrance?Does she think the only good wreath is a Liberal wreath, and the only good Quebecer a dead one?Before she shoots her mouth off again, Mrs.Copps would do well to contemplate what that war was all about.Countries around the world, peoples of diverse cultures, religions and politics, rallied together against oppression in a fight to the death for freedom and democracy.That includes the freedom to disgree with the government line.And yes, Mrs.Copps, even the freedom to disagree with Canada.If the rat-pack days are really over, stop trying to drag the rest of us down your sewer.CHARLES BURY The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Native police a growing force in Canada By Peter Moon Toronto Globe and Mail OHSWEKEN, Ont.(CP) \u2014 When Glenn Lickers was growing up on the Six Nations Territory, he wanted to become a police officer.The only way to do that was to leave the southern Ontario reserve.He joined the RCMP and was a Mountie in Vancouver for seven years before returning in 1985 as one of the first two native police officers on the reserve.Despite his experience, he had to work as a special constable under the supervision of Ontario Provincial Police officers who policed the territory.Today, at 39, he\u2019s chief of the 17-member Six Nations police, an independent aboriginal force that does all the policing on the reserve of 10,000 near Brantford in southwestern Ontario.DISTINCT UNIFORMS They have adopted a distinct uniform: a broad grey Stetson, a grey shirt with black pocket covers and shoulder straps, and for a badge a seven-point star with a protective eagle atop the Iroquois Tree of Peace.The chief's insignia is three eagle feathers suspended from a wampum belt.Lickers, president of the First Nations Chiefs of Police Association, is proud of the number of native communities across Canada taking control of their policing.Association members include chiefs of reserves in Lillooet, B.C., Brandon, Man., Northern Ontario, Standoff, Alta., and Maniwaki, Que.\u201cA couple of years ago, it was questionable whether native policing was going to be a trend,\u201d Lickers said.\u201cAnd a couple of years before that, I think most people just looked at it as a passing fad.\u201cIt is something that hasn\u2019t come easily.\u201d In the past few years, federal and provincial commissions have identified problems with the way aboriginal communities were policed, and recommended natives be involved in their own justice systems.800 OFFICERS There are now almost 800 officers and band constables dedicated to native policing in Canada.About 326,000 of the 737,000 Canadians of aboriginal descent live on reserves or in native settlements.Ontario and Quebec have been the leading provinces in the area \u2014 Ontario has 243 native constables in 70 communities, Quebec has 175 in 54 settlements.The forces have been criticized for lax educational requirements, but supporters say that is often a result of the different world many natives live in.Some native communities, for example, are so isolated the police don\u2019t need to know the provincial highway traffic act \u2014 they have no roads.\u201cThis is all in its infancy and we mustn\u2019t judge too harshly,\u201d said William Currie, an OPP superintendent working as a special adviser to the Ontario Solicitor General\u2019s Ministry.\u201cYou have to understand the community in which this policing is being done.\u201d Letters Homeless: Prevention is better than a cure There is no single cause of homelessness, so the solutions must also be diverse, says an editorial in the Qutrider, a Toronto newspaper devoted to the homeless and needy: There are as many reasons for a person\u2019s sleeping on the street as there are for a prosperous individual\u2019s being wealthy and successful.Being without a place to live can be caused by bad luck, bad judgment, family or spousal abuse, being at the wrong place at the wrong time, bad money management, drug or alcohol abuse, physical or mental disability, lack of education.The list goes on.Perhaps, in the future, there will be the political will to deal with the many causes of homelessness.With any social disorder, prevention is always preferrable to cure.From What Canada Thinks, a regular feature of The Canadian Press Micro-beings find us somewhat vain Dear Editor, As unofficial spokesperson for micro-organisms I have been asked to inform the general public that they prefer to be called micro- beings; that they possess a very appropriate from of intelligence and also that our war to place them into a position of servitude has and shall continue to fail.The fact is that any further agression may entice the micro-being nations into A dangerous assumption Dear Mr.Bury, In the Record on Monday, May 30, page five, there was a story about the ozone layer.The headline, \u201cSome plants may benefit from decline of ozone layer\u201d, seems to indicate that the loss of the ozone layer isn\u2019t so bad after all.That would be a dangerous assumption.In 1989 we knew about the hole over Antarctica but nobody lived there, or not many, and the sun was never very high in the sky so the effects were not noticed, except at the same time a two to three per cent drop in ozone layer levels worldwide was accompanied by a five to sevenfold (that\u2019s 500 to 700 per cent), increase in the incidences of skin cancer.In the 1960s some scientists were saying that we had already put enough freon into the atmosphere to totally wipe out the ozone layer after about 50 years.Perhaps they were overly pessimistic, but if we had heeded the warning and banned CFCs then, statistics show that hundreds of people who have since died of cancer would be alive today.We really can\u2019t be overly cautious when it comes to the environment.Regards, FRED WILLIAMS Bolton Centre massive counterattacks.Micro-beings find us somewhat vain, even \u201csilly\u201d and quite often they are rather amused at the execution of what we consider to be our great intelligence.They ask us to remember that their colonization of our bodies has for the most part been very peaceful, humanitarian even.They are greatly appeased by bodies permeated by music, dance and humor.We is not alone.Yours truly, JASON KRPAN Georgeville A key institution An open letter to Coordinator, Access

visions of Canada\u2019s future.The Reform leader, during an all- day debate in the Commons, offered aview that would treat all provinces equally, reject special arrangements for Quebec and cut federal bilingualism \u201cWe should make the preservation of cultural and linguistic distinctiveness a personal and private and provincial responsibility,\u201d declared Manning.Deputy Prime Minister Sheila Copps responded that Canadians voted in the last election for a national party \u2014 the Liberals \u2014 that puts jobs ahead of constitutional wrangling.And she accused Manning of playing into the hands of separatists with Reform policies opposing bilingualism.Said Copps: \u201cThe simple message of the Bloc is Quebec works without Canada, and the unfortunate message of the linguistic policies of the Reform party are that Canada would work better without Quebec.\u201d The Bloc Québécois, for its part, said Canada has reached a dead end.BQ Leader Lucien Bouchard said the country has wasted 30 yearsina constitutional quagmire and must now accept the reality that Quebec differs from the rest of Canada and should be independent.\u201cWe have not in mind to destroy Canada.We have in mind a solution to adapt the political structures to the reality.\u201d Manning sparked the debate with a motion asking the House to affirm Canadians\u2019 desire to remain federally united.But he tied the resolution to a political vision that included some favorite Reform campaign themes \u2014 tax relief, balanced budgets and financially sustainable social programs.The Liberals used their majority to strip out the jargon and substitute a simple affirmation that \u201cCanadians continue to live together in a federal system.\u201d In a final vote the House passed the Liberal version of national unity, with support from Reform and opposition from the Bloc.The vote was 179-49.Debate was generally civil and low-key.But Liberal John Harvard couldn\u2019t resist a shot a Bouchard, who has used his title of leader of the official Opposition to promote Quebec sovereignty across Canada and abroad.\u201cIf he was a citizen of another country, he would be in jail,\u201d said Harvard.As parliamentarians wrangled in the House, debate spilled outside the chamber.In those developments: \u2014Indian Affairs Minister Ron Irwin said talk of Quebec separation is boosting interest rates and costing the government billions of dollars in extra payments.\u2014Parti Québécois Leader Jacques Parizeau attacked financial institutions for warning that separation means economic uncertainty.\u201cWhy don\u2019t you handle the money and we will handle the politics?\u201d Parizeau asked in Quebec City.In Ottawa, Bouchard said when a bank president mixes in political debate \u201cthat person has to expect an argument.\u201d \u2014Michael Mackenzie, Canada\u2019s top banking regulator, chided Pari- zeau for suggesting that Quebec might withhold its share of the national debt if the rest of Canada delays negotiations on separation.\u201cIt sounds to me like they're saying \u2018We want independence but we want the rest of Canada to pay for it, \u201d Mackenzie said in Toronto.Prime Minister Jean Chrétien, who is still in Europe after attending D-Day ceremonies, has refused to speculate about Quebec separation.He says the best way to keep Canada united is by running a good federal government.Manning claims that has left a \u201c- leadership vacuum.\u201d The danger, he said Tuesday, is that it could be filled with \u201cconstitutional delusions and incomplete or inflammatory responses to the separatist challenge.\u201d Copps maintained the Reform motion, instead of providing substance, offered a series of platitudes and a \u201cthinly disguised attempt to once again begin the counterproductive squabbling over the Constitution.\u201d Liberals pare down Reform rhetoric OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 A look at the national unity motion debated Tuesday.REFORM\u2019S MOTION: \u201cIt is moved that this House strongly affirm and support the desire of Canadians to remain federally united as one people, committed to strengthening our economy, balancing the budgets of our government, sustaining our social services, conserving our environment, preserving our cultural heritage and diversity, protecting our lives and property, further democratizing our institutions and decision-making processes, affirming the equality and uniqueness of all our citizens and provinces, and building peaceful and productive relations with other peoples of the world.\u201d MOTION AS PASSED: \u201cIt is moved that this House strongly affirm the desire of Canadians to continue to live together in a federal system.\u201d Education The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, June 8, 1994\u20145 Theatre company visits Mansonville students MANSONVILLE (BNS) \u2014 Dear Students, Parents and Friends: Many special activities took place in April, one being a workshop by the \u201cBread & Puppet Theatre\u201d.The students were divided into two groups and each group participated in a two hour workshop.This theatre company, although international, calls Glover, Vermont home.Each summer they hold a festival where they present shows with huge puppets (as high as 20 feet).Two actors from the company spent the day at Mansonville Ele- _ mentary School and provided the students with two, 2 hour workshops involving movement with large puppets as well as instruction in working with small puppets.Each group of students, at the end of their workshop, presented their own puppet show.The shows were great, it was amazing how much the animators were able to teach the children in such a short time, I guess we have very talented students here at Mansonville Elementary School.Two other cultural events took place in April: storyreading by Mrs.L.Oliver and an Earth Day Assembly.Mrs.Oliver has written a children\u2019s story which she presented to Levels 1-4.Our students were the first to experience the story and were also invited to submit illustrations for the book.Thank you, Mrs.Oliver.Our Earth Day celebration was organized by Jane Akroyd (Thanks)!, the district Morals and Religion animator.The students prepared appropriate songs and presented them accompanied by Jane on the guitar.There was also a video and a song chanted by Level 5-6.Such an event sends a clear message: respect for ourselves, each other and our environment is important and necessary.Your sincerely, Joan E.Beeser, Principal SPECIAL NOTES: Honoured as \u201cStudent of the Week\u201d for the

cans.\u201d That answered the question why a young man dropped canned food into a hamper at the back of St.Paul's United Church.Refusing to give his name he simply said that he preferred \u201canno- nymous giving.\u201d Another donor, a generous shopper at the downtown Magog Metro, stated that she felt that \u201cgiving food is a concrete way of helping others in \u2018the community.\u201d She went on to say that it made her \u201cfeel good knowing that others would be fed because she dropped a few cans into the basket.\u201d Generosity, anonymous giving and practical help to others, seem to be the main reasons why people willin- AL ul gly give to a Food Bank.The Magog Food Bank is a year old now and its growth is evident in the service it provides.The respect these two, among hundreds of givers, have for the Food Bank is evident in the tone with which they answered questions.The food bank in Magog celebrated its first birthday in mid-April.Ms Tracie Taylor, the president of the Food Bank's board of directors, states that the number of people fed per month varies but in April food was provided for 73 families.\u201cThat breaks down into 103 adults and 80 children.\u201d The Food Bank is run entirely by volunteers.There is an eleven member Board of Directors and a group of 4 or 5 people who volun- teer to help with the office work as well as receiving food and preparing food packages to be given out.Everyone from the directors to office workers to the coordinator of the service is a volunteer.Ms Taylor, the Food Bank\u2019s only English-speaking Board member, stated that more volunteers from the English community would be welcome.Elections will be held on June 16, 1994 and anyone interested can contact the Food Bank at 819-868-4438.Ms Taylor joined the Food Bank volunteers in February of 1993 as the representative from St.Paul\u2019s United Church.When interviewed, Tracie stated that she \u201chas a sense of helping the community.\u201d She reported that WAREHOUSESSALE volunteers at the food bank come from all parts of the community but that the ones she is most proud of are those that come from the ranks of those who have been helped.Even though those who work for the Food Bank are volunteers, there are certain expenses which must be met.Rent and electricity have to be paid.Some food items, such as meat and milk, have to be purchased.The majority of the food is donated through various organizations such as the hamper in St.Paul\u2019s as well as baskets in different grocery stores.Moisson Estrie, (Harvest Eastern Townships) in Sherbrooke provides most of the perishable food items such as fresh fruit and vegeta- A.try fongreat:bargains!@ 1 Lu 15 Gt: Giooges aus i Lo Pictured is Ms Tracie Taylor, president of the Food Bank\u2019s board of directors.She is the only English- speaking member and would welcome more volunteers from the English community.Elections will be held on June 16 and she is hopeful there will be more interest in this very worthwhile project.bles.Food can also be dropped off directly at the Food Bank on Sherbrooke Street which is open weekdays from 8:30 a.m.to 4:00 p.m.The food bank always has need for canned goods, cereals, baby food and formula, meat, milk and sandwich meats for children\u2019s school lunches.Anyone in need of food can obtain a food box in one of two ways.The first is to be referred to the Food Bank by an organization such as the person\u2019s church.The organization\u2019s representative will contact the Food Bank on behalf of the applicant and arrange for delivery of a food package.The second method consists of contacting the Food Bank directly.Applicants will be screened to determine eligibility and all information shared is kept strictly confidential.Ms Taylor stated that the Food Bank continues to grow and launch new campaigns.This summer there will be \u201can effort to obtain fresh produce from farms and orchards in the area.,\u201d This campaign will help out in a time when people are less likely to think about food banks.Christmas and other holidays are the easiest time of the year to collect food, but hunger never takes a vacation and food is needed at all times of the year.One of the best things about the food bank is the fact that the people who received help often become helpers.Ms.Taylor reported kthat a recent garage sale raised $1700.toward ensuring the continuance of the valuable service offered by the food bank.Many of the volunteers at the garage sale were people who had been provided food at one time or another.One young woman who has received food from the food bank said, \u201cThey help you without making you feed bad.I have been able to get by some very hard times and in the last year and I can say that my son and I have never gone hungry.Please wish all those wonderful people a \u2018happy birthday\u2019 will you?\u201d Perhaps more than \u201chope\u201d comes in cans.Maybe \u201csuccess\u201d does too!

but never in my wildest dreams did I imagine he was smoking both marijuana and crack.Ann, I can't believe I was so naive.I thought all our problems were caused by the stress of adjusting to living together.Our relationship followed a pattern.First, I would catch him in a lie, and he'd make up some terrific excuse to cover up.I'd forgive him, and then, it would happen again.I used to get angry, then hurt and finally depressed.Now I am working at resolving my feelings.What bothers me the most is that METER ROLL GOODS crn she on ot PERCALE SHEET SETS it nin vas to nm for do love him, and he

boon for people who want to raise cash without selling their home.But the deal can also have a .bad side.\u201cBest friend, worst enemy, if I .had to sum up reverse mortgages,\u201d says P.J.Wade, author of Have Your Home and .Money Too, a recently published guide to reverse mortgages (Wiley, $16.95).\u201cWhen they\u2019re not right there\u2019s probably nothing more severe financially you could do to yourself,\u201d she said in an interview.That\u2019s why it's critical to ensu- .re that a reverse mortgage is the _ best way to solve your problem, .and that you can live with the .consequences, Wade says.With a reverse mortgage \u2014 as with a traditional mortgage \u2014 the homeowner borrows money with the property as collateral.Unlike a regular mortgage, however, the debt piles up instead of being paid down month- by-month.The mortgage is paid off at a later date, often when the house is sold.In the meantime, the borrower gets some cash while keeping ownership of the house.Officials at companies that sell reverse mortgages say they have two general types of customers.The first group consists of seniors who are \u201chouse-rich, cash-poor,\u201d says Jonathan Barnes, assistant general manager of the Cataract Savings and Credit Union in Niagara Falls, Ont.\u201cThey don\u2019t have enough to Money monitor By Murray Oxby The Canadian Press live on.and they don\u2019t want to move out just yet,\u201d he said.\u201cThey're willing to draw some of their equity out as cash so they can stay in that familiar place.\u201d The others are seeking cash to start a business, take retraining courses or pay for trips or home renovations.\u201cIt\u2019s fitting a wide range of needs for a wide range of people,\u201d says Carol Christopherson, vice- president of Canadian Home Income Plan Corp.in Vancouver.The decision on whether to get a reverse mortgage, especially :\u201cThey\u2019re giving us the service we need\u2019 doe rv - ve ~ By Steve Harder Halifax Chronicle-Herald STELLARTON, N.S.(CP) \u2014 Railways aren\u2019t what they used to be.When it comes to short-line - freight runs, service may be get- Ra - ting better.The Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway has been operating the Truro-Sydney run since taking over from CN Rail last Oct.1.The railway\u2019s owner is Rail- Tex Inc.of San Antonio, Tex., which paid CN about $20 million for 400 kilometres of line.Rail- tex owns 23 short lines in Canada, the U.S.and Mexico.Though operating with less than half the staff that CN had on the line, it is trying to match or improve service.One techni- _ que is to give the workers more responsibility and ask for more flexibility.David Swales, a locomotive engineer and former CN employee, sees quite a difference.At CN, each position had a job description.Engineers, for example, \u201cwould never think of changing brake shoes on an engine,\u201d he says.\u201cBut that\u2019s one of the tasks here.So we get dirty.\u201d Most of the workers are former CN employees from Nova Scotia \u2014 the only American is general manager Mark Wester- field, who previously worked for RailTex\u2019s Goderich-Exeter Railway in southern Ontario.Business on the Cape Breton and Central Nova Scotia Railway has exceeded forecasts and the future looks good, says McCarron, the railway\u2019s operations manager for Port Hawkes- bury and Stellarton.Smaller

said people should also pay \u201cclose attention to the rating » agencies, \u201cwhich play a very acti- \u2018ve role in the insurance industry.\u201d There are about 150 companies selling life and health insurance in Canada.The largest 10 take in two-thirds of the pre- \u201c, miums, leaving more than 100 \u201csmall and medium-sized insurers.\u201cMany people feel the market requires these

its history.\u201d He told the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association annual meeting that the industry, with annual premium income of $28 billion, is generally in good shape but should do more to help those firms on shaky ground.He said the \u201cextraordinary and unprecedented meltdown in real-estate values\u201d of the past money they have available to pay out on claims.He suggested that a program be developed to provide short- term funding for companies in trouble, which would give them the breathing space to work out their problems.\u201cI'm not asking people to be generous,\u201d he said later, rejecting a suggestion some companies might balk at helping competitors.\u201cI'm asking people to make a responsible, a good, investment.\u201cI'm not suggesting they should donate the money.\u201d Mackenzie called for the industry-funded protection plan, called CompCorp, to build a surplus to boost its ability to protect policy holders when a company collapses.He did not rule out

the reverse mortgage may be a real solution to your financial problems.But if any home would do, then a reverse mortgage probably wouldn\u2019t be appropriate.\u201d But Barnes and Wade say people should investigate all other possible sources of cash first.Those sources include renting out a room or garage, operating a home-based business, and property-tax deferral programs offered in British Columbia and Prince Edward Island.Alternatively, a person may be able to get social assistance, or help from family members.À private home-equity conversion deal, such as selling your \u201cWe're all elated with the way everybody pitched in.\u201d Enthusiasm is one of the line\u2019s main selling points.Each employee is given a business card and encouraged to look for potential business and ways to improve service.\u201cWe're all salesmen,\u201d says McCarron.Stora Forest Industries of Port Hawkesbury is one of the buyers.Spokeswoman Patricia Dietz says CN Rail provided Stora with excellent service in the past, and the replacement railway is matching service on home and leasing it back, is also a possibility.Before deciding on a reverse mortgage, you should do a budget to determine how much money you need, and thoroughly research all alternatives, Wade says.\u201cGet specific so that you have real choices, not vague ideas.\u201d Its also important to think about the implications of a reverse mortgage.Will your home and neighborhood be suitable for you as you grow older?Are you comfortable with the debt?Does it matter that you won\u2019t be leaving as much to your heirs?Also look at the terms of the reverse mortgage.How will you repay the debt when it comes due?How much money will you be left with?If it\u2019s a lifetime mor- more than 3,000 rail car shipments annually.\u201cWe're impressed with their approach to their business, and they're giving us the service we need,\u201d says Dietz.Al Connors of Antigonish has started a forest products business and he\u2019s interested in shipping excess wood to northern New Brunswick.The short line would haul the wood to Truro, where it would transferred to CN Rail.Connors hasn\u2019t shipped by rail before, having always used tgage, what are the chances you'll want out of the deal at some point?Can you afford the penalties?There are different types of reverse mortgages, and each has advantages and disadvantages.Look for the type that best matches your needs.And like any other major financial transaction, people must take the time to understand what they're getting into, Wade says.That\u2019s especially true with reverse mortgages, which are complex and governed by few regulations.It\u2019s also a good idea to know the commission the salesman is getting, Barnes said.Says Wade: \u201cIf someone's giving you \u2018free\u2019 advice, it isn\u2019t free.You pay for it one way or another.\u201d Bright future, better service with short line railways trucks for short and medium hauls.Though he says he\u2019s \u201clooking at the bottom line,\u201d he also has one eye on the railway\u2019s employees.\u201cThey're very good to work with.\u201d Profit-sharing makes up a big part of employee excitement about RailTex.Based on merit, workers share seven per cent of net earnings, which was about $75,000 in the railway\u2019s first quarter.A slice of profits helps offset lower hourly wages ($11-$15) for the railway\u2019s non-union workers.Time cuts trade barrier talks FREDERICTON (CP) \u2014 Lack of time rather than any major disagreements prevented Canada\u2019s trade ministers from reaching a final accord on tearing down internal trade barriers, federal Industry Minister John Manley said Tuesday.\u201cWe will require another meeting of internal trade ministers in order to complete the discussion,\u201d Manley said after two days of meetings with his provincial couterparts.\u201cThere were items on the agenda that we weren't able to discuss in detail.\u201d The negotiations are aimed at eliminating trade barriers which are estimated to cost the Canadian economy up to $7 billion annually.The main topic of discussion was how to do that and still allow some form of regional development for the country\u2019s disadvantaged regions.\u201cThere was substantive progress over the two days, particularly in the area of dealing with what exception there would be for regional economic development,\u201d said Manley.\u201cThat means that the framework of the agreement can progress further from here.\u201d Manley said the trade ministers are still intent on meeting their June 30 deadline for a comprehensive agreement.\u201cThat\u2019s our mandate,\u201d he said.\u201cT expect if we can manage to find another meeting time in our schedules over the next few weeks, we ought to be able to complete the remaining items.There's still negotiations to go however.\u201d The ministers discussed but didn\u2019t reach agreement on issues like culture, environment, inves- a tment, procurement and labor = mobility, said Manley.He said people must understand the ministers are starting from scratch.Sheepish in St.Edwidge SHERBROOKE \u2014

South was unlucky to walk FOR ME, SAM! into such an unfriendly distribution.However, as all plays work if spades are breaking 3-2, South should have maximized his chances against a 4-1 split.It is best to lead the spade queen from the dummy at trick two.This wins when West has the singleton eight, nine or 10.That is three winning singletons, against the two singleton kings that South accommodated.Here, the spade queen is covered by the king, ace and eight.Declarer crosses to dummy with a heart and leads the spade six, laying low from hand if East urnishes the four.Otherwise South wins the nine with his jack and uses his 7-5 to keep East\u2019s remaining 10-4 to one trick.©1994, NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE ASSN.BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER SOCIETE DE L'ASSURANCE AUTOMOBILE DU QUEBEC rd ACROSS 1 Tropical rodent 5 \u2014 bull 10 Network 13 Chinese border river 14 Author Jong 15 \u2014 colada 16 Tabloid topics 18 Fragrance 19 Parka parts 20 Stroke gently 22 Marsh bird 23 Salamanders 24 Steak type 26 Hit hard 29 Trapshooting 30 Pranks 31 Genetic letters 32 Inning enders 33 Records check 34 Will of \u201cThe Waltons\u2019 35 Chemist's workplace 36 More peculiar 37 Film segment 38 Certain hockey piayer 40 Sycophant 41 Poker stakes 42 Big cat, briefly 43 Indecent 45 Vatican chapel 48 Diving birds 49 Racing forms 52 Jane or Zane 53 Merge 54 Zola title 55 Sup 56 Elementary substance 57 Pitfall DOWN 1 Cushion 2 Writer Kingsley 3 Ringlet 4 Blood bearers 5 Skeletal structure 6 Spirit in \u201cThe Tempest\u201d 7 Fasteners 8 Expert 9 Notable knight 10 Ubiquitous The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, June 8, 1994\u201411 N S A 7.7, + D+3.THE WORLD FAMOUS 6.1.cor Zl Be COMES ACROSS AN ABANDONED JEEP) / rt A - 2 2 / GA 2 ; 7) : % f 7 Ë S Zi / p 7 WE, % ALLEY OOP® by Dave Graue and Jack Bender ~ NO PROBLEM, ALLEY!

close out the quarter-final round-robin.\u201cThe two teams with the best - record in the group will advance to the semis on Saturday.Forward Andrea Kuklova scored four of her team-leading 14 points in the last 26 seconds to help Slovakia remain unbeaten \u201c atthe tournament.After trailing for the entire second quarter, Slovakia choked a tiring Canadian offence with a full-court easy, especially with Berry being a slugger more than a bunter.\u201cHe did his best and it didn\u2019t work out.But that was really a big steal of a bag that he gave us.\u201d Gil Heredia (2-2) was the winning pitcher for the second time in three games.He worked 1 1-3 perfect innings in relief of starter Gabe White.Mel Rojas finished the eighth inning and retired the first two batters in the ninth.But Andu- jar Cedeno and pinch-hitter Chris Donnels singled, bringing reliever John Wetteland into the game.Wetteland raised the tension by hitting pinch-hitter Kevin Bass with a 1-2 pitched, loading the bases.But he struck out Steve Finley on three pitches to earn his ninth save.\u201cI wanted to make sure if I missed with the (1-2) fastball to Bass that it was going to be inside,\u201d said Wetteland.\u201cI got a little excited with it.\u201cThat was stupid.\u201d The Astros had tied it 2-2 against White when Ken Cami- niti slammed a two-out solo - home run on a 3-2 pitch in the press in the final 10 minutes.With Canada up by a point, Kuklova emerged as the heroine when she landed two free throws with 26 seconds left-the clock and then scored on a layup in the dying seconds.Canada\u2019s best shooter was Andrea Blackwell of Kingston, Ont., with 16, while Shawn Mol- cak of Lethbridge, Alta., added 14 and captain Bev Smith of Salmon Arm, B.C., 11.- \u201cIt just slipped away from us,\u201d said Blackwell.\u201cA lot of our shots looked like they were in, but rimmed out,\u201d said team manager Jeff Speedy.\u201cIt seemed like they wouldn't fall in the

eighth homer.Montreal had mounted a 2-1 lead in the fourth.After Larry Walker led off by legging out an infield single, Darrin Fletcher scored him with a booming double into right-centre field.That

Marian Matyas said his team only came to life late in the game against Canada.\u201cIt was only in the final 10 minutes that our energy level increased dramatically,\u201d he said.\u201cWe pressed all over the court because we saw that the Canadians were becoming tired.\u201d Canadian coach Kathy Shields said it would be difficult to lift her team\u2019s morale.\u201cWe played extremely well for three-quarters and then had a bad stretch,\u201d she said.\u201cI thought the bench was deep enough and we were fit enough to handle it, but in retrospect we got fatigued.They stepped up their defence
