world\u2019 Foreign investors keen on Canada again By John Davidson MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 From Tokyo to Wall Street, world money markets were bullish on Canada Tuesday.That's because the Parti Québécois victory in Monday's Quebec election was weaker than predicted and has left the PQ with a tough climb toward the sovereignty referendum it has promised to hold within a year.The PQ took 77

Sovereignty Referendum 2.But the Parti Québécois election victory puts the province \u2014 and the country \u2014 on course for a second independence referendum in 15 years.The PQ is determined not to repeat the devastating loss of the 1980 vote on sovereignty- association and it has a strategy in place to ensure a different end.PQ Leader Jacques Parizeau is counting on rousing nationalist sentiment in the coming months to build momentum that isn\u2019t there now.The PQ attracted virtually the same popular vote as the Liberals.Recent poll results have also indicated only about 40 per cent of Quebecers would vote in favor of independence.But that could change quickly, Parizeau said.\u201cEight or 10 months ago there was solid majority for sovereignty,\u201d he said during the campaign.\u201cWatch in eight to 10 months from now where we're going to go with that.\u201d PQ strategists have a two- pronged game plan: persuade Quebecers that separation is beneficial and demonstrate, with the help of the Bloc Québécois, that the federal system doesn\u2019t work and can\u2019t be fixed.The first step will likely come Liberals By Daniel Sanger MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 The Parti Québécois may have won the election but Daniel Johnson\u2019s Liberals won enough votes to cast doubt on the PQ\u2019s ability to win the next battle \u2014 the independence referendum.That was the general feeling Tuesday as Quebec and the country digested the provincial election results that gave Jacques Parizeau the keys to the premier\u2019s office but not much of a mandate to put the province on the road to sovereignty.The PQ won 77 seats compared with 47 for Johnson's Liberals.But the difference in popular support was marginal \u2014 less than half a percentage point in the PQ\u2019s favor.The weaker than anticipated win immediately puts the sove- reigntists on the defensive in the run-up to their promised referendum, said relieved federalist politicians.\u201cIt\u2019s a good indication that Canada is there to stay,\u201d Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said.Parizeau, who will officially consoled by narrow margin become premier in about two weeks, took Tuesday off after his seven-week campaign ended with a bash in Quebec City on Monday night.But Johnson woke up early to make the trip to Quebec City from Montreal and to promise to be a tenacious Opposition leader leading the fight for a united Canada.\u201cAs this campaign ends, another campaign starts,\u201d said Johnson, looking more relaxed than he did throughout the campaign.The Liberal leader, blaming his defeat on the recession and a simple desire for change, repeatedly called on Parizeau to hold the referendum he has promised in 1995.\u201cThe crux of the PQ platform is to initiate sovereignty and to hold a referendum real soon \u2014 in 1995,\u201d he said.\u201cIn my view that is part and parcel of the commitment that the PQ has made with the Quebec people.\u201d Johnson's

become an independent country.The new government will also likely release studies on the cost of overlapping federal-provincial bureaucracies, a figure Parizeau estimates at about $3 billion a year.All the while, the PQ and the Bloc in Ottawa will attack federal decisions affecting Quebec \u2014 and there are some big ones looming.\u201cWe won't have a policy of provoking deadlock, conflicts, crises,\u201d said Hubert Thibault, Pari- zeau\u2019s chief of staff.\u201cThe federal system just by the way it works will create enough incidents without us provoking things.\u201d An

the best\u2019 Chrétien girds loins for next battle By Larry Welsh OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Day One of the long campaign leading up to a Quebec referendum went smoothly for Prime Minister Jean Chrétien \u2014 partly, perhaps, because his separatist opponent took the day off.The prime minister said Tuesday the provincial election results were the best he could have hoped for, short of a victory by outgoing Liberal premier Daniel Johnson.Although the separatist Parti Québécois took 30 more seats than the provincial Liberals, the two parties split the popular vote virtually down the middle.The fact that the PQ win fell short of a landslide seemed to provide considerable cheer to financial markets.Prime rate at major banks fell, following a decline in the trend-setting Bank of Canada rate.The Canadian 91 Low interest rates cut seniors\u2019 By Rob Carrick OTTAWA (CP)\u2014 Falling interest rates have crash landed on the investment income of seniors, says a study by Statistics Canada.Investment income fell 15.1 per cent in 1992 for families where one spouse was 55 or older, the federal agency said Tuesday.That's a drop to an average $8,568 from $10,086 in 1991.Investments are an important source of money for seniors, accounting for about 13 per cent dollar rose.\u201cAround the world this morning, there was an acceptance of the reality that there was a change of government, but there was no strong indication or mandate for separation,\u201d Chrétien said following a federal cabinet meeting.\u201cWhen we will meet for the First of July next year, when the referendum will have been held according to the promise of Mr.Parizeau, you know we will celebrate a great Canada Day.\u201d Jacques Parizeau, leader of the PQ and premier-elect, remained out of sight Tuesday, leaving the field to Chrétien and his provincial ally Johnson.Outside Quebec, provincial premiers responded with carefully chosen words.\u201cWe'll take it a day at a time,\u201d Ontario's Bob Rae calmly intoned.Chrétien has already rehear- of their total income in 1992.Pensions and money from employment provided most of the remainder.Seniors value security in their income declined with

oldest member was aged 55 to 64, the median total income was $42,700, compared with $29,700 for those with the oldest member aged 65 to 74, and $24,100 for those with the oldest member 75 and over.StatsCan said that in Granby in 1992, 28 per cent of families Income: Sherbrooke edges out Granby OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Statistics Canada said Tuesday that in 1992, headed by a married or common-law couple in Granby had at least one family member aged 55 or older.The median total income \u2014 the dollar figure at which there were equal numbers above and below \u2014 for families in which one member of the couple was at least 55 or older was $30,700, although income declined with age.For such families, where the oldest member was aged 55 to 64, the median total income was $39,000, compared with $27,600 for those with the oldest member aged 65 to 74, and $23,900 for those with the oldest member 75 and over.Nationally, 31 per cent of families headed by a married or common-law couple had at least one family member aged 55 or older.sed his business-as-usual replies to separatist prodding.The prime minister stressed there would be no new constitutional proposals to Quebec.Instead, his government will press ahead with improving the economy and reforming social programs.\u201cOf course, we will make sure that the message that Canada is the best country in the world will be delivered to Quebecers very clearly,\u201d Chrétien said.One MP from the West was blunt.Even if the Parti Québécois wins its referendum next year on separation, that won\u2019t be good enough to break up the country, said Deborah Grey, Reform House leader.\u201cWe're saying we're part of this family and if you think that you're going to run away from home, we want to at least discuss this and have a say in what we investment investments, so they tend to puta lot of their savings in interest- paying securities like Canada Savings Bonds and guaranteed investment certificates.But these investments are also vulnerable to interest rate ups and downs, and there have been a lot of downs in the last two years.Canada Savings Bonds paid 6.0 per cent interest in 1992, down from 7.50 per cent in 1991 and 10.75 per cent in 1990.In 1993, the rate shrank to 4.25 per cent.Lilian Morgenthau, president of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, said the decline in rates has undermined years of careful saving for many seniors.\u201cWe're talking about people who were independent, who ! think is going to happen,\u201d the Alberta MP said, referring to both the PQ and the federal Bloc Québécois.The Bloc, promising support for its PQ cousins, plans to underline problems with the way Canada works.\u201cWe don\u2019t want to paralyze the government and they don\u2019t need us to do so,\u201d said Bloc whip Gilles Duceppe.\u201cThey were not able to accomplish their main goals last year, and I don\u2019t think theyll be able to propose anything to Quebec and Canada in the near future.\u201d Chrétien promised to defend Canada with all the spark and fervor he demonstrated in the last Quebec referendum 14 years ago.\u201cYou know, I will be the same Jean Chrétien that I am today, that I was in those days.I believe in this country.\u201d income could manage,\u201d she said.\u201cNow their income is half \u2014 if not lower \u2014 than it was before.\u201d The income of some seniors has fallen to a point where they're drawing from the federal guaranteed income supplement.The program is aimed at seniors who take in less than $11,064 per year.Figures from the Human Resources Department show income-supplement payments rose to $4.25 billion in 1992-93 from $4.14 billion in 1991-92.In 1990-91, payments totalled $3.98 billion.: Catherine Goodman, a statistical expert with the department, said the payments rose in part because they're indexed to inflation and because there are more elderly people. : 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, September 14, 1994 \u2018In wake of PQ victory Anglos won\u2019t flee from Townships, says lobby group By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 The panic and anglophone exodus which occured in the Eastern Townships following the election of the Parti Québécois in 1976 is unlikely to recur, says the president of a local English-rights lobby group.\u201cEven though people have major concerns, you will not see the major impact you saw back then,\u201d Townshippers\u2019 Association president Paulette Losier said in an interview with the Record.\u201cThe anglophones that are still here are committed to the area and they are going to dig in their heels and stay,\u201d she predicted.Losier says the victory of the PQ came as no surprise, but the strength of the Liberals did.\u201cThere was no surprise, the polls had prepared us for a PQ victory,\u201d she said, adding that the real suprise on Monday was the popular vote, which gave the Liberals just one per cent less votes than the PQ.Although the PQ captured 77 of 125 seats in the National Assembly, it took only 45 per cent of the popular vote against 44 per cent for the Liberals.NON-PARTISAN Losier said Townshippers\u2019 Association is a non-partisan group and is ready to deal with the new sovereigntist régime as it dealt with the federal and provincial Liberals and the federal Conservatives.She said Townshippers\u2019 is looking forward to a dialogue with the PQ on a variety of issues which concern the English community in the region, from the lack of economic opportunity to access to health and education.Losier said she\u2019s looking forward to seeing how committed the PQ is to minorities in the province, and whether Pari- zeau\u2019s government will offer economic opportunities to young anglophone Quebecers in areas like the civil service.\u201cRight now less than one-half of one per cent of civil servants speak English as a mother tongue, and that not good enough,\u201d she said.Liberal promises of opening up the civil service to anglopho- + nes had little or no impact in making government reflect the population it serves.Township- pers\u2019 is waiting to see how the PQ will do.\u201cThat\u2019s one thing they can do to show we are wanted,\u201d Losier said.ACCESS TO SERVICES Access to health care is another concern, especially for elderly anglophones who don\u2019t have enough room in nursing homes and day centres.Towns- hippers\u2019 is also concerned about the lack of English social services for youths in the Townships.As for education, Township- pers\u2019 is still hoping the gover- ,nment will broaden access to English schools.\u201cWe hope that Bill 101 will be an absolute minimum,\u201d Losier said, adding that the organization is concerned that new res- friction on English language education could endager the survival of anglophone schools, particularly in rural Quebec.It is also asking for the government to recognize French as a job skill, ensuring that young anglophones have the same rights to training as immigrants arriving in the province, Losier said.Losier said Townshippers\u2019 has already taken steps to meet new Parti Québécois MNAs elected last night.She said all of them have been invited to participate in Townshippers\u2019 Day this weekend to meet anglophones and discuss their concerns.Sami rai gi.z Paulette Losier .Complete with Libyan-trained terror squads By Peter

executed in France after the 1789 Revolution.His claim, as reported in the Record two weeks ago, rests largely on speculation that Louis XVII, son of the beheaded monarchs, did not die as reported in history books, but as was rescued by Jesuit priests and smuggled to safety in Canada.The Massachussets-born man and his Sherbrooke-born wife believe that Louis XVII was given the name Olivier LeBel upon arrival in Canada; and that Olivier LeBel of Kamouraska was in fact the exiled king of France.Until last weekend, there was little way to actually dismiss the theory, since no record of the man\u2019s birth in Canada had ever turned up in church records.All that seems now to have changed, leaving Jean-Paul Robert LeBel\u2019s biggest fan \u2014 his wife \u2014 furious with the geneaologist and priest who once championed the couple\u2019s cause, but who now says Olivier LeBel was the son of One-man show does justice to famous Canadian humorist Francis reincarnates Leacock on Brome Lake stage By Maurice Crossfield KNOWLTON \u2014 \u201cWhat's that?Ah yes, humor.\u201d And there\u2019s no questioning the humor in Theatre Lac Brome\u2019s latest offering Leacock Speaks.Written and performed by veteran actor David Francis, the one-man show is a look at the life of Canada\u2019s best known humorist, Stephen Leacock.In the play, the author comes back from the dead to give a lecture about his life and work.Taken largely from the writings of the great master, the show gives the audience a look at the trials and tribulations of the man behind the pen.Throughout the play, Leacock attempts to take a serious approach to his life and accomplishments.But while Leacock wrote many serious works on economics and political science, his sense of humor gets the best of him as he speaks of his days in Mariposa, a.k.a Orillia Ontario, at McGill University, or on his many speaking tours throughout the world.UNUSUAL OUTLOOK It\u2019s his unusual outlook on life that made his writings so popular.For Leacock, even a trip to the bank is an adventure that can keep readers in tears laughing.In the play, Francis does justice to Leacock\u2019s writings, keeping the audience in stitches with little more than gestures and lightning-quick monologue.Diverse City sets up in Eastern Townships Publisher aims to help the developmentally c disabled By Dave Hingsburger Joe Jobes is tired, and with reason.The past few weeks have been full of meetings, contracts and phone calls.Jobes is president of La Press Divers Cité (Diverse City Press), a new company which is about to publish its first book.Diverse City is an English language publishing company which will specialize in books in the field of developmental disability.Jobes reports his first book, \u201c- Just Say Know! Understanding \u201cand Reducing the Risk of the Sexual Victimization of People with Developmental Disabilities», is at the press and will be released soon.He says there is a fair degree of anticipation for the book, and much of the print run has already been ordered in advance of publication.\u201cLast week we received a large order from the state of New Mexico and this week a similar order came in from Arizona ,» he said.\u201cWe will probably have to reprint within the year.» BIG PLANS Diverse City has big plans.It\u2019s second book on art therapy for people with developmental disabilities who have been traumatized is almost ready for production.The author, an art therapist from New York, demonstrates Diverse City\u2019s commitment to only publish work by those who actually work with the disabled.\u201cNo ivory tower academic publications will even be considered,» Jobes said.The third book is in negotiation and will focus on dual diagnosis \u2014 Mental Retardation and Mental Illness.The tentative author, a psychiatric nurse from Michigan, will be another first time author.Jobes said there are many people who do good work and he wants to make sure that work is Vis

themselves.» FOR THE DISABLED He said no company publishes material aimed directly at people with developmental disabilities.\u201cI believe that people with developmental disabilities have a right to materials that are written simply, respectfully and with clear illustrations,» he explained.\u201cIn fact, I have contracted with an author and illustrator to write the first book.It will be Francis

lonely at first, Jobes said.\u201cI didn\u2019t know anyone here and for a bit I wondered if the move here was a good idea.» \u201cNow, I have met a wonderful network of people through the United

Gérard Lebel, a priest at the Redemptorist monastery in Ste- Anne de Beaupré had been following the Californian claim on the French throne for three years.He has written extensively on Lebel descendants in North America.As recently as two weeks ago, Father Lebel suggested the story of the little prince\u2019s arrival in Canada was not implausible, but that further research was needed.Now the priest says he\u2019s satisfied that the original Olivier LeBel of Kamouraska was in sity he turns the page and the school appears.When talking about the sinking of the Maripo- sa Belle, a turn of the page and the steam boat appears.Like Leacock\u2019s writings, the pop-up book works on the imagination, setting each new scene.The play also \u2018serves to introduce many people to Leacock for the first time.While immensely popular until well after his death in 1944, Canada\u2019s most famous writer is little known to younger fact, born in Canada, not France; to commoners, not royalty.It seems a Lebel family reunion in La Pocatière over the weekend turned up a copy of Olivier Lebel\u2019s missing baptismal certificate.\u201cFor me, it's finished,\u201d said Lebel in a telephone interview.\u201cUnless the (baptizing) priest was a liar, it\u2019s not possible for Olivier to have come from France.\u201d In the meantime, Marie Rachel's own claim seems safe from wet blankets.She believes she is a descendant of Louis XVIT's sister, taken to England after the French Revolution, and later to Canada; some the princess\u2019 offspring are said to be buried in the Eastern

EE Don\u2019t speak from the cuff While she probably isn\u2019t looking for any advice, I thought I would take advantage of my last soapbox to give newly-elected Sherbrooke MNA Marie Malavoy some free counselling.Undoubtedly, Malavoy feels good after carrying the riding for the Parti Québécois in Monday's election, but the margin of victory was much closer than anyone would have ever predicted, considering how high-profile she was in comparison with her Liberal counterpart.So, Madame Malavoy, what could I have to say to you that could possibly change your life and keep you an MNA until you want to retire?That\u2019s easy: become the PQ MNA who fights hardest for the preservation and increase of minority language rights.Be the.one to make sure Quebec\u2019s young people leave school fluently bilingual.In short, be a visionary who's willing to push the PQ in new directions on language.Oh, and you might also want to start talking now about how real sovereignty has already been achieved.Obviously the PQ will not win the referendum this time.It has to be fought, because Papa Jacques promised, but there\u2019s no way it will go through.And it certainly won't fly very far in Sherbrooke when local boy Jean Charest is right beside Daniel Johnson leading the forces for federalism.So to keep yourself in a comfortable spot, start talking about the ways the PQ has already achieved its goal by making the rest of Canada listen to Quebec, and about how Quebecers of all languages and races are stronger today than they were under the Liberals.Such statements will endear you to the kind of people who voted Action Démocratique this time but are likely to drift back F into the Liberal camp next time.You see, + Madame Malavoy, if those voters had voted Liberal this time, Gilles Lapointe would be going to Quebec City, not you.This is no hot-bed of separatist feeling, so tempering your words for this riding\u2019s | crowd could help keep you alive.If you speak from the cuff too much about the pain of federalism, you may find yourself weeping on an election night four or five years from now when the Liberals retake Sherbrooke.Of course, I could be wrong.But I was

Tribune, a weekly paper published in Campbellton, N.B.: U.S.President Bill Clinton made a huge mistake | - last October when he ordered the withdrawal of an American troop carrier from Haiti.He has a chance now to rectify the blunder.It has been almost three years since the violent overthrow of the democratically elected government of Jean-Bertrand Aristide by the military elite headed by Lt.-Gen.Raoul Cedras.Since then a gang of butchers has headed the Haitian state.There have been an estimated 3,000 murders.If there ever were a situation that warranted military intervention, this is it.Thankfully, the UN Security Council agrees with this opinion, voting to authorize a multinational force, headed by the United States, to oust the military leaders and return Aristide to power.From

Journal- Pioneer: If last night's Parti Québécois victory in Quebec means that province is now on a slippery slide to separation from the rest of Canada, Toronto's 4-2 exhibition game win over Montreal means the Maple Leafs have the Stanley Cup all locked up.Even though a government committed to taking Quebec out of Confederation is now in power in that province, the country is in no imminent danger of breaking up \u2014 no matter how badly Jacques Pari- zeau wishes it were.Moncton (N.B.) Times- Transcript: Mr.Parizeau would like nothing more than to goad les anglos outside Quebec into a frenzied round of flag burning, civic votes rejecting bilingualism, bigot- ted letters to newspapers, and other such pettiness.It is time for common sense and reason to prevail.Canada is too great a country to allow it to slip away in a fit of pique and frustration.Fredericton Gleaner: There is no ambiguity in the provinces outside Quebec.The non-Quebecers are fed up with the constitutional wrangling and the issue of Quebec which has dominated the country\u2019s agenda for more than 30 years.The issue should be resolved once and for all so that our politicians can deal with the serious fiscal and monetary issues we face.We would remind .(Prime Minister Jean Chrétien) that the federal debt of $500 billion-plus rules out major financial spending in Quebec to win the support of the people to choose Canada in any referendum.The spending policies of the last 30 years have brought us to this present difficult impasse.Quebec Le Soleil: Mr.Pari- zeau, the establishment of the structures of a sovereign state to condition voters before a referendum will not be tolerated.Neither will any childish attempt to shun Ottawa and the other provinces.The Québécois won't give you a honeymoon.They know you and have already seen you at work.Don\u2019t bother raising taxes on individuals or companies.Don\u2019t start decentralizing powers without knowing what powers Quebec itself will have in the next two to five years.And the citizens who voted you into office don\u2019t want another language battle.Your predecessors started a certain number of privatizations in the last few months.We encourage you to continue in this vein.The role of a government is to assure that the population gets quality services and to work towards our economic, social and cultural development .We know ycur interventionist tendencies.You should prepare some very good reasons before going back to vour old ways.J- Jacques Samson Journal de Montréal: Analysis of the results will unquestionably show the PQ would have obtained a much smaller majority and possibly lost the elections altogether if it hadn\u2019t been for fed-up federalists.The Liberals were the first Quebec party in the history of Confederation to think they could campaign without making even the most minimal constitutional demands.How could Johnson and his entourage ignore the fact that the majority of Québécois were already disposed to give Canada a last chance for national reconciliation?A majority of voters was prepared to rally behind him.They were waiting for a signal.It didn\u2019t come and now we're in the craziest situation imaginable.These lukewarm and disenchanted voters resolutely helped elect a separatist government to defend what remains of their federalist convictions.Jean-V.Dufresne Montreal Le Devoir: The Parti Québécois certainly ran an effective campaign.It maintained its advance, its leader turned into a more and more credible premier before our eyes, its team had an impact and rhetorical moderation attenuated the rough patches in the party program.But there was no wave.By holding more than 40 seats the Liberals suffered less of a defeat than pundits predicted .If (Johnson) had clearly expressed his distaste for the kind of federalism practised by his Liberal brothers in Ottawa, if he had prepared a program not only to resist Ottawa but also to set out claims, if he had proposed public consultation on assuming more provincial power, he would have had a better chance of winning.Lise Bissonette Montreal La Presse: It won't be easy to present a coherent common front of federalists.Far from it.But Daniel Johnson's performance yesterday gives him the energy sought to represent the federalist option.\u201cDo you want to make Quebec a sovereign country?\u201d Opinion polls before and during the election campaign showed the majority backing No.As legitimate parties, supported by a majority of Quebecers, the Bloc and Parti Québécois together will use their power completely to tilt the balance in favor of Yes.The real joust has just begun.Claude Masson Montreal La Presse: Mr.Pari- zeau was certainly clear about his party\u2019s option throughout the campaign.He will be able to use his majority to begin talks with Ottawa or in our name declare Quebec's wish to accede to sovereignty without contravening the parliamentary rules of our democracy in the slightest.But that would be illusory and would confuse the will of his party with the will of the people.Our democracy is not based on rules alone.It is also based on rules and common sense.The new government has the moral obligation to reflect the wishes of the people who brought it to power.And that before all is what should determine the next government\u2019s mandate.Alain Dubuc Montreal Gazette: (Parizeau) should not forget why the people of Quebec elected him to office.Que- becers wanted a change of government not independence.Mr.Parizeau has no mandate to use government powers to promote independence; no mandate to pass motions affirming the will of Quebec to become independent; no mandate to draft a constitution for an independent Quebec.While he will have the power to do all that, he will have no moral authority.And Quebecers know that.Toronto Globe and Mail: Jacques Parizeau is more committed than René Lévesque, his government more avowedly separatist.True, but that does not change the central fact of this election: the decisive issue was the economy.The more Daniel Johnson talked about sovereignty, the more Mr.Parizeaun retreated from it; the greater the likelihood of a PQ victory, the greater the opposition to sovereignty.Confident that they can decide on sovereignty later on, Quebeckers have exercised their right to choose a government to address the same issues as voters in any other province.The mandate of the Péquistes is a mandate to govern, not a mandate to separate.In giving the PQ a limited majority, Quebeckers are expressing their reluctance to give the PQ a free hand to detach Que-: bec from Canada.Toronto Star: Having profited mostly from a protest vote, the PQ must now govern in the interest of all Quebecers \u2014 federalist and separatist, anglophone and francophone, old stock or recent immigrant.However, Parizeau can be expected to advance his separatist agenda to the best of his bombastic abilities .For its part, Ottawa must not make the mistake of pandering to Quebec, or yielding to political paralysis.It is one thing for Prime Minister Jean Chrétien to keep his powder dry.But it is quite another to keep all Canada on hold any longer.Toronto Sun: Changing government and improving the family circumstance in the process was the important issue, not the skeleton of separatism that Parizeau keeps rattling.Now Quebecers will pay \u2014 and we will pay if we're not careful \u2014 a considerable cost in instability and uncertainty.Chances of a national consensus on anything have just gone out the window because Parizeau can\u2019t let Canada work and win because then he loses Hamilton Spectator: Politicians who come in second in an election usually do not take solace in the fact they didn\u2019t get crushed.Yet Liberal leader Daniel Johnson has emerged from the Quebec election with his credibility intact, with valuable campaign experience under his belt and even some increased stature.Mr.Johnson outperformed Jacques Parizeau in the campaign.He deserves credit for his determination in the face of the overwhelming odds against him.His party elected enough members of the Quebec National Assembly to form a significant opposition, gaining a more than respectable share of the popular vote.These will give him credibility in the coming referendum campaign.Windsor (Ont.) Star: Expect Parizeau to run a government that cagily lays the groundwork for separation at every opportunity and exploits any sentiment or decision outside his province's borders that seems in the remotest way anti-Quebec.Those who play that game will only play into his hands.But it is also time to talk frankly to Quebe- cers about the benefits of Confederation and the ramifications of reviews sovereignty, particularly as they apply to their membership in trade agreements, their influence on the world stage and Parizeau\u2019s apparent belief that an independent Quebec could still pick and choose the pieces of Canada it finds appealing \u2014 like currency or dual citizenship.Saskatoon Star-Phoenix: Now that the PQ are in power and a referendum is certain, westerners might want to consider a proposal from former prime minister and constitutional affairs minister Joe Clark.He suggests the next round of national unity discussions move away from the acrimony that would be generated by a debate on separatism.He wants ordinary people to change this seemingly inevitable agenda by talking about what Canada is as a country, its benefits, and what these things mean to them.Calgary Sun: English Canada must neither panic nor provoke following the victory of the Parti Québécois.Rather, English Canada must buckle down now to decide its bottom line in negotiations with a Quebec intent on independence.It is absolutely vital that English Canada be united in the outcome of the referendum and be fully prepared to accept that this time Quebe- cers will vote to leave Confederation.Calgary Herald: The tedium of the summer campaign tended to disguise the fact that the election result is an important first step toward another sovereignty referendum next year.The next 10 months leading up to the referendum will be the most challenging for the federal government and Canada\u2019s provincial governments.It will be difficult to get much of anything accomplished in the realms of social program reform or economic planning until Quebecers have voted, yet once more, on their favorite question to stay or go.Edmonton Journal: The good news, and we can all empathize, is that Quebecers have voted out a tired, nine-year-old Liberal government.The bad news is that they have voted in their only alternative, the separatist Parti Québécois.If there was one surprise in the election, it was in the strength of the Liberal showing, .Part of the explanation lies in the efficient campaign run by new party leader Daniel Johnson.But a larger part lies in the refusal of Quebecers to grant the PQ a blank cheque.Vancouver Province: (PQ Leader Jacques) Parizeau promises to carry on the battle for separation no matter the outcome of the referendum.But Parizeau can read birth charts and immigration records like anyone else.The francophone population, where he gets almost all his support, is in decline.The immigrant population, which is solidly federalist, is growing.So Parizeau is flogging an increasingly arthritic mare neighing and snorting all the way to the glue factory.But the PQ leader has a mandate to fulfil, and needs a reason to exist if (when) his referendum fails.Hence the promise of a generic \u201c good government.\u201d Education The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, September 14, 1994\u20145 Pecord Canada to get first pilot projects this U.S.pioneering switch By Rita Daly Toronto Star RALEIGH, N.C.(CP) \u2014 They took that most sacred tradition away from the kids \u2014 two months\u2019 summer vacation.In its place, education officials put them in school in the hot, humid months of July and August.Sound cruel?Not according to the kids, their parents and teachers at Morrisville elementary school, one of North Carolina\u2019s first year-round schools, where students attend all year and take several three-week holidays instead of a big summer break.Year-round education has spread with fervor across the United States, shaking the foundation of the traditional school calendar.Today, 1.4 million students in about 1,900 American schools are on a 12-month calendar.Most are in California, Texas, Florida and Utah.Studies on year-round schools have concluded that test scores improve; absenteeism among students and teachers drops; and vandalism of school property Learning By Sue Montgomery The Canadian Press Mary Laws was a bit worried on the first night of her woodworking class when she noticed her instructor was missing three fingers.But eight weeks into the course Laws had completed an old- fashioned pine mirror frame.She was hooked on night school.This fall, the 40-year-old accountant is signing up for Chinese cooking classes.Across the country scads of people like Laws are poring over night school calendars, looking to upgrade their skills, meet new people, learn to use their computers, or just plain broaden their minds.Laws says the daily grind of work can become boring, creating the need for some other outlet.\u201cI needed balance in my life is significantly reduced.PILOT PROJECTS Only now are pilot projects being set up in British Columbia, Calgary and London, Ont.\u2014 26 years after the first year-round school was established in the U.S.Ontario Education Minister Dave Cooke said this year he would support any school board that sets up a year-round program.\u201cEveryone is here because they want to be,\u201d says Savon McCoy, a resource teacher at Morrisville, a new kindergarten- to-Grade-5 school in the Raleigh suburb of Cary.Her 11-year-old daughter, Kathryne, goes to nearby West Lake middle school, also on a year-round program, and has been in school all summer.Morrisville principal Caroline Massengill says the old farm- based calendar has outlived its relevance.\u201cI grew up on a tobacco farm and worked in the fields all summer, but children just don\u2019t do that any more,\u201d Massengill says.Supporters argue that teachers suffer less burnout in May and June and don\u2019t waste time in.September reviewing last year\u2019s lessons because students have been away for two months.MILLIONS SAVED On top of that, they say, millions of dollars in new school construction is saved because more students can be placed in year-round schools.To many North Carolina parents, sending kids to school on a 12-month calendar is as natural as iced tea and air- year to year-round schools conditioning in summer.They argue the children are learning better, are happier and don\u2019t have time to waste during the long summer days.Year-round education has boomed in North Carolina and, despite fierce opposition, is growing faster here than in any other state.The first year-round school opened in 1989; today there are close to 90 schools \u2014 roughly five per cent of the Will year-round schools TORONTO (CP) \u2014 School boards in three provinces are looking at shaking up the school calendar.If proven successful, year- round schools may gain in popularity as an alternative to the traditional 10-month school year.There are just three year- round schools in Canada.Two operate in Calgary, but they are specialized: one school attached to a hospital is for 60 physically handicapped students, the other for pregnant teens.The third year-round school is in Williams Lake, B.C., a logging town in the Interior.The idea was put forth to increase school enrolment, which had been in serious decline.Now the first multi-track year-round schools in Canada \u2014 two or more schools of students in the same building on staggered schedules \u2014 are being proposed.The Calgary school board will set up two multi-track schools, a junior high for next summer and an elementary school in the summer of 1996.at night can be entertaining and wanted to do something creative,\u201d is her explanation of why she heads to school after getting home from work.In 1991 \u2014 the most recent figures available \u2014 5.5 million Canadians over the age of 17 who were not in school full time were taking some kind of course.That's 27 per cent of the country\u2019s population.NUMBERS GROWING And the numbers are growing, says

Barbara Mayer The Associated Press College freshmen should give some serious thought to what goes in to their new home away from home \u2014 their residence room.You'll be squeezing a lot of living \u2014 and studying \u2014 into a room that may be a minuscule single or barely big enough to share with another newcomer.Most university residence rooms are spartan, furnished with bed, bureau, desk and chair and, maybe, a desk lamp.Occupants supply comforts and color.\u201cThe key to an effective makeover is to take advantage of every inch,\u201d says Patricia Shaw, style director for the J.C.Penney home furnishings catalogues.\u201cStart with colorful bed linens and matching curtains.They don\u2019t take up any room but add a good deal of color and pattern to what is almost always a neutral space.\u201d A wall-mounted bulletin board is useful for class schedules and assignment deadlines.Some schools say No to nails in the walls.If so, prop the bulletin board against a wall above a dresser or desk.Or, if it\u2019s light enough, try attaching it with double-faced tape.BUY CUBES If there\u2019s space and money, buy a few storage cubes to stack as a bedside table.A floor lamp LE - Technical Vocational Education that can be moved as needed will provide extra lighting.A wicker trunk can double as a storage unit and extra seating.As a luxury, consider an area rug next to the bed.Washable bath mats are practical and come in a range of sizes and patterns.\u201cI don\u2019t know of any college students who will wash a rug,\u201d Shaw says, \u201cbut they will bring it home to mom\u2019s washing machine.\u201d Take family photos and mementoes.They go a long way toward counteracting that institutional feeling \u2014 and, hey, they're free.\u201cMake room for a wall of photos and poster art, no matter how tiny and crowded the room,\u201d says Ro Logrippo of Burlingame, Calif., an author of books on design.\u201cThe closet door can be another display place.\u201d Lightweight foam-core board, available in art supply stores, makes a better surface than a wall.It can be mounted with double-faced tape.Lightly coat backs of photos and posters with a spray adhesive before sticking them on the foam-core.Logrippo suggests using the desktop as an auxiliary bulletin board.Have a piece of clear acrylic cut to size and tuck schedules and other reference materials underneath.In shared rooms, privacy is hard to come by.A folding screen can provide some visual privacy and serve as a tackboard surface.That works ' 4 SALES & MARKETING / A one-year, all inclusive

monthly English publication.But I can\u2019t help thinking it has appeared somewhere else before.How would you plan the play in seven spades, West having led a diamond?You or I would reach the laydown seven no-trump.In my auction to seven spades, four diamonds is a splinter bid showing at least four spades, at most one diamond and a useful hand.Trusting partner had the spade king (and a few other helpful goodies), South bid the grand slam.You should find a line that overcomes a 4-0 trump break and a 5-0 heart split.This can be done if, at trick one, you discard the heart two from the dummy and win with the diamond ace.You play a trump to the dummy, ruff a low club in hand, play a second trump to dummy, ruff dummy\u2019s other low club with the spade ace, and draw trumps, discarding the heart king on the last round.The heart ace disappears on dummy\u2019s club ace, and the final five tricks are won with dummy\u2019s heart winners.If you can solve this type of single- dummy problem and become a subscriber to Bridge Magazine, you might win a bridge computer.For a one- year, airspeed subscription, send $52.95 to The Bridge World, 39 West BRIDGE PHILLIP ALDER Wednesday, Sept.14,

LENNOXVILLE \u2014 When people talk about university soccer in the Eastern Townships, they usually talk about the University of Sherbrooke Vert et Or.« The Bishop\u2019s Gaiters are seldom mentioned in the same sentence.Last year the Vert et Or were the kings of Canadian men\u2019s soccer, winning the university championship (CIAU).The Gaiters were the peasants of the Quebec league, failing to make the playoffs., That was then, this is now and the new improved Gaiters are ready for an uprising.Admittedly, Bishop\u2019s won\u2019t topple Sherbrooke from its throne, but the Vert et Or won't be leaving Len- noxville with an 8-0 victory following today\u2019s season opener.Last year Sherbrooke routed Bishop\u2019s by that score, but the Gaiters showed incredible improvement during a 3-0 exhibition loss last Wednesday to the Vert et Or.we got the puck to the net and had lots of chances,\u201d Demers said Tuesday.\u201cBut we've got to learn to get the puck into the net.\u201cI know (Toronto goaltender) Eric Fichaud played well, but we've got to stop making goaltenders look good.\u201d The Canadiens are reported to have made pitches to Los Ange- les for Luc Robitaille and to the New York Islanders for Benoit Hogue this summer, but neither sharpshooter ended up in Montreal.The only trades concluded sent Kevin Haller to Philadelphia for Yves Racine in an exchange of defencemen and veteran defensive centre Guy Carbonneau to St.Louis for the he ly Ode Lp td or Chak wht C1 Kings general manager wants must decided if the 18-year-old left-winger from the Peterbo- rough Petes is

hopes will be both bigger and more productive.\u201cWe're not talking about trades,\u201d Demers said.\u201cWe want to see what we've got here first.\u201cWe're hoping that maybe (Valeri) Bure or (Jim) Campbell or our other young players will do that for us.\u201d Of key concern are road games, where the Canadiens managed only 124 goals in 42 games last season \u2014 the least among the eight Eastern Conference clubs that made the playoffs.Cony more bite ne, of course, but I'm not an aloof-type manager.\u201cI've got to know all the players, not just Wayne.I enjoy being with the

Angeles in the standings.The end is near for pro baseball season day night.Around the United States, baseball officials braced for the end of what had been one of the most memorable seasons in years.Even though the World Series has been played for 89 consecutive years, Fehr said he wasn\u2019t surprised by the lack of public outcry over its likely cancellation.nal recruiting season that has brought a river of new blood to Bishop\u2019s struggling soccer program.\u201cIt\u2019s unfortunate that the program has known its share of difficulties because of the lack of available English players in the area.The francophone players tend to go to Sherbrooke,\u201d Pierre-Gilles explains.\u201cWe need to go get our players from elsewhere.\u201d NEW PLAYERS Along with the crop of players from Quebec and Ontario, this year\u2019s Gaiters roster includes players from the United States and France.Pierre-Gilles is expecting a stronger season with the addition of players like Luis Decaire and Paa-Ekow Brown from Virginia, Sean Nalette from Vermont and the Montreal duo of defnder Pat Toppetta and midfielder Mike D'Alessandro.Traditionally Bishop's has been forced to suit up a lot of players who had very little soccer experience, Pierre-Gilles says.That\u2019s no longer the case.\u201cIts a new team,\u201d Pierre- Gilles says.\u201cNow we have players with soccer experience.I think with time the rookies we have here will be able to do a lot.\u201d All told, 13 of Bishop\u2019s 20 players are rookies and eight of 11 starters in today\u2019s game will likely be first-year Gaiters.With such a large group of first-year players, the Gaiters will be looking for striker Dave Dunlop and team captain Gord Coleman to provide some important leadership, Pierre-Gilles says.\u201cI like this bunch of players.Hopefully this group will eventually be able to achieve greater heights than Bishop\u2019s soccer has ever reached,\u201d Pierre-Gilles says.The Gaiters begin their quest to join soccer\u2019s royalty today at 5 p.m.against Sherbrooke at Bishop's.Joe Sakic is still a Quebec Nordique, a mild surprise even to Sakic.\u201cI kind of thought it would either be me or Mats Sundin who would be traded over the summer,\u201d Sakic said after a spirited workout at the Nordiques\u2019 training camp recently.\u201cIt was one or the other, and it was Mats.\u201d Sundin was dealt to Toronto, principally for Wendel Clark, who is being counted on to bring both heart and soul to a team that was in search of such ingredients last season.The Nordiques missed the Stanley Cup playoffs after qualifying for post-season play for the first time in six years one year earlier.Sakic, despite being only 24, was considered an elder statesman with Quebec because he was entering his sixth season with the club.He became a handy target for criticism.A follower, not a leader, claimed some of his detractors; too quiet to properly fulfil his role as team captain, others contended.Almost overlooked was that Sakic played in all 84 games and collected 92 points, the fifth straight year he had surpassed 90 points.\u201cEverybody\u2019s got their own opinion, but I thought I showed leadership,\u201d Sakic said, responding to one of the major charges.\u201cI go out and work as hard as I can every night.\u201cWhen the team has the kind of year we had'last year, some the blame than others.I'm sure I had my fair share of the blame, as did other people.But let's face it; its the team that wins and loses.\u201cIt\u2019s part of the game.I remember two years ago, when we got 104 points and lost to in stride.\u201d When Clark was obtained, qualities.guys are going to take more of Montreal in the first round of 1 the playoffs, there was criti- | cism, too.You've got to take it there were suggestions in the Quebec media that he should replace Sakic as captain.Clark had been the captain of the Maple Leafs, where he gained the respect of the players because of his leadership Joe Sakic: survivor in Quebec stays on Sakic said the captain controversy was raised in the media \u201cbecause people were looking for something to write about.\u201d \u2014 = Time Out By Terry Scott The Canadian Press Sakic said no one in Nordiques management has broached the subject and he wants to retain the captaincy, \u201cunless : they want to make a change.\u201d Change has occurred on other fronts with the Nordiques.Sakic says there\u2019s enthusiasm and excitement that was lacking right from training camp last season.A year ago, the Nordiques opened camp with defenceman Steve Duchesne holding out in a contract dispute that was never resolved.There was grumbling, too, over a defensive style that former coach Pierre Pagé strived to implement.A team that had encountered success through an explosive offence a year - earlier, suddenly looked lost on most nights.\u201cI just think we're to blame for what happened,\u201d said Sakic, refusing to criticize Pagé.\u201cNobody adjusted and, after a while, we really got frustrated.\u201d Joe Sakic surprised to still be with Quebec.nulified by a penalty.Running back had big week Football\u2019s Shane
