But what economic control would Quebec really lose?Most economists agree there would be nothing to prevent a separate Quebec from continuing to use the loonie in its stores and banks.In fact, countries such as Liberia and Panama have used the U.S.dollar as their currencies for years.And many in Quebec, and other provinces for that matter, would argue that they've never had much control over the value of the currency or the level of interest rates anyway.Provinces perennially complain they have no real say over the policies of the Bank of Canada.During the late 1980s, for See CURRENCY Page 2 ~ \u201cThese tax credits should stimulate home purchases and will finally get people into the marketplace where we can sell them something.\u201d The tax credits come with strings attached, however.They only apply to new houses with price tags of $150,000 in Montreal and $125,000 in the rest of Quebec.In terms of resale houses, the ceiling is $135,000 in Montreal and $110,000 in the rest of the province.And the tax credit only applies to 10 per cent of the total renovation cost.The credits can be written off against income taxes in 1995 and 1996, and in some cases 1997.Campeau said these deductions would cost the government $71 million over the next three years, but they could stimulate the purchasé of 29,000 homes across the province.See HOUSING Page 2 Robert

company has won a $13 million contract for electronic thermostats, creating 120 jobs over a 12 month period and saving consumers money on electricity bills.C-MAQC, specializing in microelectronics, won the Hydro- Québec contract for 400,000 of their square plastic thermostats after competion with a multitude of Canadian and multinational firms.Mervyn Fitzgerald.\u2018It saves on energy

Fitzgerald added.Limited production of the new thermostats began earlier this year when a preliminary contract worth $2.4 million was signed with Hydro-Québec.Upon completion, C-MAC was given the new order which comprises the first phase of the power company\u2019s Econo-Comfort program.The second phase entails a further 6 million thermostats, an order which C-MAC executives said they hope to receive.Aldée Cabana, vice-president of corporate affairs, says C-MAC was awarded the contract because of its thermostat\u2019s durable design and performance.Hydro- Québec put the thermostats through 50 differant tests before making their decision, he said.The Hydro program\u2019s intention is to conserve energy and help residents save on electricity.assure the safety of my men\u2019 \u2014 chief Frelighsburg firefighters frustrated By Maurice Crossfield FRELIGHSBURG \u2014 Volunteer firefighters in Frelighsburg say that if things don\u2019t change soon the town can forget about getting their help in an emergency.Citing a lack of funding, equipment, training, and a variety of related issues, Frelighsburg Fire Chief André Lacroix and Assistant Fire Chief Stéphane Boily say local conditions are becoming too dangerous for their volunteer Stéphane Boily and André Lacroix a equipment.CURRENCY:\u2014 Continued from page one éxample, the Western provin- ¢es complained bitterly that the central bank was boosting interest rates to fight inflation in robust Ontario and Quebec.That was crippling for provinces such as Saskatchewan, which was being battered by low grain prices and was hurt even more by high interest rates.But some economists, such as Andrew Pyle at MMS International market analysts, say that, practically speaking, Quebec wouldn\u2019t be able to hold on to the Canadian dollar as its firefighters to handle emergencies.They say if the town doesn\u2019t do something before January 16, they may not respond to emergencies if things seem too dangerous.The firefighters are responding to the municipality\u2019s latest budget cuts.While the fire department had been promised a $29,000 operating budget and an additional $18,000 to buy new equipment, when the budget a re concerned for the safety of their fellow firefighters using broken down $28,000 for 1995.The 11-member fire department relies on three vehicles to handle fires in the municipality.The pump truck has two faulty valves, which make its 300-gal- lon tank inaccessible.\u201cThis is a backup for us,\u201d explained Lacroix.\u201cNow we don\u2019t even have that.\u201d The ladder truck, a 1972 International, has a broken frame.When it went for inspection last year the frame was welded as a currency for long.\u201cThe hardship that you would endure by trying to hold on to the Canadian dollar would ultimately lead Quebec to adopt its own currency anyway,\u201d said Pyle.Without its own currency, for example, it would be hard for Quebec to deal with a trade deficit.If a country imports more than it exports, it normally allows its currency to fall in value to correct that imbalance.Pyle said that while the Bank of Canada can\u2019t have a separate policy for Quebec and every other province, the governor at least has to take regional interests into account.Quebecers can currently vote for or against a federal party based on its economic policies.And the federal government can offset the impact of high interest rates on a region by the way it spends money there or through tax cuts.Martin and others will argue that Parizeau could find it hard to deliver on the economic demands from the citizens of a separate Quebec without those kind of levers.temporary measure.Boily says that in order to make the truck pass inspection a large portion of the rear frame must be replaced.The newest of the firefighting vehicles is a 1978 Chevy van used to transport safety equipment and a water pump.But Boily says that to drive it faster than 40 miles an hour is a dangerous thing to do.The brakes pull it all over the road when trying to stop.It also lacks a safety screen between the driver's compartment and the back, so in a sudden stop the heavy equipment would pile up on the driver.The fire station too is in need of repairs.The uninsulated building built in 1970 is Hit by a half dozen bare light bulbs, making it difficult to see.In the winter the water must be left running to avoid pipes freezing up.The building has not been painted in over 20 years.\u201cWe have explained the danger but they don\u2019t seem to understand,\u201d said Boily.He says firefighters\u2019 constant urging for new funding keeps falling on deaf ears.Lacroix points out that the firefighters arent in it for the money.They give their time without pay and even have to buy their own uniforms.To save money the firefighters have also taken to repairing their equipment themselves.A tiny workshop in the back of the fire station is used to repair everything from water pumps to fireman's boots.PATCHES \u201cYou shouldn't have to put pat- HOUSING: Continued from page one \u201cMost potential buyers start looking for new houses in January and sales begin to come in by early

KNOWLTON (MC) \u2014 Citing a lack of evidence, charges against Raymond Coulombe of possessing stolen truck parts were dropped Monday.The charges were laid in connection with a series of raids staged by the Quebec Police Force last July 6.The raids turned up some $500,000 worth of stolen truck parts at various locations throughout the Eastern Townships.Coulombe and Louis Pelletier were arrested as a result.However the prosecution says despite a two-month investigation prior to the raids, there was not enough evidence to convince a jury of Coulombe\u2019s guilt.Coulombe is scheduled to appear in court again on January 19 to face a charge of illegal posession of a firearm in connection with an argument with Pelletier two days before the raids.Pelletier alleges that Coulombe pulled a gun on him

finally be coming to an end.At a town hall news conference Thursday Stanstead mayor and International Water Company president Renald Demers announced that the two towns will be constructing a new water filtration plant on Notre Dame Blvd.east of the highway 55 customs office.Stanstead and Rock Island have received major grants under the federal-provincial infrastructure program to pay for renovations to the existing water system and for the new installation.Demers said the entire project will cost about $6 million, a third of it to be paid for by Derby Line, Vit.The neighboring American village is the third community served by the water company and is slated to receive a new reservoir as part of the project.\u201cWater has been a big cloud hanging over the Three Villages for

when Middle East warmongers win the Nobel prize and Pope John Paul is named Time magazine's Man of the Year.Is society so lacking in do-gooders that these are the people selected to be honored?After years of battling it out in the Middle East, PLO chairman Yasser Arafat, Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and Foreign Minister Shimon Peres shared the Nobel Peace Prize.A bizarre choice by the Nobel prize jury?Yes it sure was.Although the former enemies finally made a move toward peace, they have been partly responsible for the reign of terror which has lasted far too long, and, despite the

Letters to the Editor With a little help, faith, and effort Dear Editor, Yesterday evening some of our children gathered to help decorate our Christmas tree.It is my very favorite time of the holidays, as their laughter and happy chatter bring back a flood of memories of their younger years, as well as adding new ones.Since the tree was too large for the stand, my husband improvised by nailing a round piece of board onto the tree and standing it up in a large plastic pail which he then filled with sand two gallons of water.Soon the tree was beautifully decorated with lights and delicate, fragile ornaments collected over the past 35 years, some gifts from POY LT TT IW TVW NNT LL NA LI INC VRE MANN FUT THEL TN I TEIAET DLT Tn, aN VIDEO ARCADE friends and loved ones, many now deceased, whom we recall with joy and gratitude each year.The old familiar star at the top has been battered by time and eager little fingers, but still serves it\u2019s purpose with majesty and brilliance.All too soon the house slipped into quietness, and my husband and I surveyed the tree once more, drinking in its gift of familiarity and promise, before we pulled the plug on the lights and retired for the night.It is my opinion that each year the tree becomes more beautiful, perhaps because of the additional memories it holds.You can imagine my horror when I came down the stairs this mor- ning to find the tree lying face down on the floor in a pool of mud and water and broken glass.We had neglected to secure the top of the tree to the wall, and now it and all its precious memories lay in ruin.One can become very reflective down on one\u2019s knees at 5:30 in the morning, and as I was mopping up the mess I pointed out to my husband that far too many beautiful, promising marriages end up in ruin today simply because someone has overlooked the little things, and like our Christmas tree, are destined for the garbage dump.He nodded his head in agreement, and we finished our task in silence.As we raised the tree onto its feet again, we were overjoyed to discover that many of our precious, irreplaceable possessions had been spared, and that the damage was not nearly as devastating as it first appeared.The empty strings hanging sadly on the branches reminded us that some things would be lost to us forever, but when the mud had dried it was easily brushed away, and with very little rearan- ging the tree was beautifull once more.As he placed his arm around my shoulders, my husband quietly suggested that there was yet another lesson to be learned from our misfortune \u2014 that and that, although some scars may remain forever, often something wonderful and worthwhile can be salvaged with a little help, faith, and effort.Mery Christmas to all.ROBERTA SYLVESTER Sawyerville Not unscared, but certainly not corrupted Dear Sir, I would like to express my gratitude to Sunil Mahtani for his excellent article on my exhibition \u201cUn voyage a Birkenau\u201d, published in the December 9th, 1994 Townships Week edition.However, the assertion that \u201cthis war (WWII) has corrupted everyone\u201d, is a quotation from a B grade war movie.As the son of a man who gave five years of his youth to that war, I would like to be the first to disagree with such an overall statement.My father (who went through North Africa, Sicily and Italy campaigns) came back, maybe not unscared, but certainly not corrupted.This correction gives me the opportunity to say that all the men who fought that bloody war deserve honor and our deepest gratitude.Without their hard won victory, which finally put an end to the Nazi order, the days of today could be indeed much darker.MICHEL ROY CORBEIL Sherbrooke This Weekend in History By The

Pennsylvania and Yale, Park area development creates conflict By Joanne Helmer Lethbridge Herald PINCHER CREEK, Alta.(CP) \u2014 A log cabin in the mountains on a piece of land with good fishing.It\u2019s an impossible dream for most Canadians.In parts of Alberta, it\u2019s taken for granted.This desire for small private landholdings is heating up a classic confrontation between developers and preservationists in southwestern Alberta, an area long considered part of Canada\u2019s natural heritage.If the preservationists win, large tracts of ranching and farmland will continue as the economic base, while eco-tourism, small logging operations and other environmentally sensitive industries will provide secondary income.If the preservationists win, Waterton National Park \u2014 which has more unique features and diversity than Banff and Jasper together \u2014 will live on as an example of a biogeographic area found nowhere else on Earth.RARE WILDLIFE Small, environmentally significant natural areas outside the park that also nurture rare and distinctive plants and animals would remain as special protected zones.If the pro-development view is successful, much of the Pincher Creek and Cardston municipal districts, on either side of the national park, would be broken up over the next few years to meet the demand for those small landholdings.Hotels and other tourist facilities would blanket the landscape, say critics.The ecological integrity of the national park and the dozens of environmentally significant places outside the park might be eroded.Several recent decisions by the Pincher Creek council have raised the red flag among environmentalists: \u2014Council backtracked on its tough logging restrictions despite clear instruction to the contrary from a public meeting.Logging has legally begun on the giant, habitat- rich MX Ranch.No public hearing was required.\u2014Council gave first reading to a bylaw to lift the boundaries around the special protected zone in the municipal district.\u2014Council approved expansion of the Homestead campground just outside the national park gates, opening the way to subdividing the land into dozens of lots for long- term lease to RV owners.\u201cWe're up against the use of tourism to justify some very damaging moves,\u201d says noted environmentalist and historian Andy Russell, who lives in the Pincher Creek area.\u201cIt\u2019s caused by the loss of revenue from the petroleum industry.Council wants something to fill in the crack for taxes and theyre looking to subdivisions as the answer.\u201d Cardston\u2019s municipal district council faces less immediate controversy.But one source says it\u2019s already being pressured to turn large amounts of unproductive ranch land into subdivision dollars.Cardston municipal Reeve Broy- ce Jacobs says while \u201cit\u2019s not fair to suggest the municipality says yes to every development proposal, residents do believe they should be able to do what they want with their own property.Council tries to let that happen.\u201d Wildlands can bring in big bucks PINCHER CREEK, Alta.(CP) \u2014 Two recent studies suggest conservation of wildlife and wildlands can bring in big dollars.The World Wildlife Fund says expenditures on Parks Canada activities in Alberta totalled about $458 million in 1989.WWF also used a 20-year study conducted in Colorado to value wildland benefits.It says migratory waterfowl hunting can generate $33 a day; salmon fishing $185 a day; picnicking $27 a day; non-motorized boating $75 a day.\u201cTotal preservation benefits of existing wilderness were estimated to be $260 per acre,\u201d says the study.\u201cThe value of preserving an additional 10 million acres (15 per cent of Colorado) was $700 million.\u201d A 1991 Environment Canada study found that 90.2 , à total of about $842 million.per cent of the population took part in one or more wildlife related activities, devoting a total of 1.3 billion days and $5.6 billion to these activities.This is an increase over 1981 and 1987.In Alberta, the Canadian survey said, 94.7 per cent of the population participated in a wide range of wildlife-related activities in 1991, spending about $834.7 million.Farthermore, about 1.8 million Americans visited Canada for its fish and wildlife during 1991, spending The flow of visitors into Canada for fish- and wildlife-based tourism was three times greater than the flow out and U.S.tourists in Canada spent over five times more than Canadians travelling in the United

Mignault stands at the altar to celebrate mass on Christmas Eve, the event will be noteworthy for several reasons.First because Mignault probably attended the births of many of _ the white-haired faithful in the pews, and second because the odds were against Alexandre Mignault ever fulfilling his dream of becoming a priest.After a 61-year career as an obstetrician, devoted husband, and father of four, Alexandre Mignault was finally ordained a Roman Catholic priest just 51 days short of his 90th birthday.He will turn 95 in August.The angels have smiled on Mignault since his birth.He was born with a cerebral disease his parents were told their infant son would not survive more than a few months.When the toddler showed no signs of relinquishing his hold on life, doctors revised their prognosis and told the worried parents their son would not live to be seven \u2014 and if he did, he would be \u201ca fool\u201d.\u201cOf course, 1 fooled them,\u201d Mignault said with a chuckle.\u201cI come from strong stock.\u201d Proud of his French-Canadian roots, Mignault says his grandfather, a Montreal doctor, left Quebec to practise medicine in the United States.He returned to Montreal late in the 19th century when his son, Mignault's father, was only seven.\u201cUntil then, my father and his two brothers had not spoken a word of French.But their mother, a clever woman named O\u2019Callaghan, insisted they learn French, Latin and Greek.\u2018We used to say if a third of the patients paid, a doctor could make a living\u2019 Dr.Alexandre Mignault: Even in the horse-

took up important places in Quebec society.\u201c- My uncle Pierre-Basil (P.B.) became a judge in the Supreme Court of Canada.The other taught anatomy to medical students for 50 years at Laval

the time, and finally after three years, I had to leave.It seems I caught everything except syphilis.\u201d Mignault switched his studies to medicine at Laval, and later studied in France, specializing in obstetrics and gynecology.He returned to Sherbrooke in 1926 with his new bride to set up his medical practice on Sanborne Street.It lasted 61 years.\u201cOnce I got married, I was never sick again,\u201d he chuckled.For the next half century, Mignault delivered babies in Sherbrooke and for miles around.\u201cIT used to keep a record and when I got to 6000, I was too busy to count further,\u201d he said.\u201cI suppose I delivered another 2000 babies after that.\u201d He says he never lost his sense of wonder over the miracle of birth.\u201cEvery time I held a new infant in my hands and examined the perfection of the fingers and each tiny vein in the hands, it was a mystery for me.I never tired of it.I loved it.\u201d In the early years of his practice, Mignault spent most of his days and nights travelling to distant homes by horse and buggy.\u201cI could be in Stoke in the morning, and in St.Élie d\u2019Orford at night for another delivery.\u201d Despite the long and treacherous hours on remote roads, Mignault says he never had an accident.Nor did he always get paid for his trouble \u2014 even in kind.\u201cThere were many people without jobs and we used to say if a third ofthe patients paid, a doctor could make a living\u201d Like most country doctors, he was often paid in wood or vegetables.Mignault says the demands on early country doctors had no limit.He recalls collapsing from exhaustion during one delivery.\u201cI knew I couldn\u2019t continue, so I told the sister of the woman to call Dr.Bertrand.\u201d \u201cThere was only one bed in the small house and the pregnant woman was in it.When Dr.Bertrand arrived,he found me lying next to the woman in bed.\u201d Mignault scoffed at a New York specialist's advice that he take one month off in every three to recuperate from the fatigue.\u201cIt was impossible.What would I At Sherbrooke\u2019s Foyer St-Joseph: New centre gets ready for anglo old folks By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 After two years of controversy and delays, a long-awaited day centre for elderly English-speaking residents of the Sherbrooke area is looking for clients.The centre, located at Sherbrooke\u2019s Foyer St-Joseph, will be up in running by mid to late January depending on how recruiting goes, said coordinator Eileen Curran.Curran, a registered nurse who was hired_to run the English-language program at

dogs or cats, as once was believed.But pets can become seriously ill if they nibble on holly or mistletoe.Keep both out of reach.\u2014Respect your pet's privacy.Sometimes, all the commotion can be too much, particularly for older pets.Visiting youngsters who play rough with your pets add to the problem.When your dog or cat heads for its \u201cden\u201d beneath the bed or in the basement,

N.B., as well as a power of attorney relinquishing all her rights.Police investigated but no charges were ever laid.The story received media coverage, especially in the Maritimes.À mini-documentary produced in 1990 by the CBC entitled All My Children added to interest in the case.The same year, a petition in Annie Poirier\u2019s name was signed by over one million Canadians across the country asking for legislation to curtail financial, physical and psychological abuse of the elderly.\u201cOut of the petition, committees were formed in various communities to create a foundation in the name of my mother,\u201d explains Etienne.The foundation, registered as a federal charitable organization, began searching for a way to raise funds to establish a hotline that would refer callers to agencies that can help.Etienne says his mother came to Canada from England as a war bride after the First World War.\u201cShe had married my father, Etienne, a French- Canadian.\u201d He says that after the initial culture shock of arriving in a new country unable to speak French and living in a log cabin, his mother settled down, put down roots and became well- known for her fine cooking.\u201cShe missed the cuisine of home, so set about collecting and creating recipes,\u201d her son says.\u201cAnd she also wrote to famous people including Eleanor Roosevelt and Mackenzie King

idea.\u2014Give gifts to pets, but don\u2019t give pets as gifts.Present a new toy to your pet and it\u2019s likely to act as excited as a child.But the reason, most veterinarians agree, probably is because of the attention being lavished on your pet, rather than the gift itself.\u2014Veterinarians emphasize that the holidays are a bad time to get or give a new pet.Pets acclimate themselves better to new surroundings during a less harried time of year, when you'll also have more time to devote to a new pet\u2019s needs.Cookbook raises money for elder abuse for their favorite recipes.\u201d Because of this passion for cooking, it was decided that Annie and her legacy be remembered through a cookbook.\u201cWe wanted it to be special,\u201d says Etienne, also an accomplished cook.The foundation held a Cana- dawide contest and invited the public to contribute heritage recipes \u2014 dishes that emphasized traditional, nostaglic, affordable, readly accessible fresh ingredients.\u201cWe then asked for volunteer help from chefs who adapted the recipes to reduce fats, sugar and salt to meet today\u2019s interest in healthy living,\u201d he says.Once the recipes were approved for use in the cookbook, he says, the problem of what to name them came up.\u201cWhy not name them after famous personalities like the movie stars, artists and places that were familiar to our parents and grandparents?\u201cWe contacted as many descendants (of celebrities) as we could locate and they all approved that their names be used,\u201d says Etienne.\u201cIn fact, when they learned of the foundation, some even mailed donations to help the cause.\u201d As a result, the book is peppered with titles on recipes such as Bea Lillie Peach Sorbet, Andy Warhol's Cream of Tomato

market\u2019 Lobsters flooding Halifax International Airport By Tom McDougall HALIFAX (CP) \u2014 Live lobsters waiting to fly to festive- season tables in Europe are running into a serious traffic jam at the Halifax International Airport.The king of seafood has become a holiday tradition in Europe in recent years, particularly in France.They must be flown because they are alive, protected in styrofoam-lined cases cooled with gel cooling packs.Finding air-cargo space for a sudden flood of lobsters in the midst of the regular Christmas rush is an annual problem, but this year it's worse, several operators said.\u201cWe can\u2019t get our product to market,\u201d said Rick Murphy, owner-operator of Classic Sea- foods of Oyster Pond on Nova Scotia's eastern shore.\u201cWe could triple our business if we could get it there.\u201d That doesn\u2019t mean the lobsters go to waste, but it does mean lower prices.Dealers like Murphy simply truck the grounded lobster south to the American market \u2014 but it cuts profit margins by 10 to 20 per cent.The traffic jam has been relieved somewhat.Air Canada and Air France have co-operated to bring in a Boeing 747 freighter to make six charter flights directly to Paris over the holiday season.The jumbo will handle a total of 50 tonnes of the overload.But it won't be enough.There are no set figures, but Janis Raymond, marketing director for the Nova Scotia Department of Fisheries, estimates the capacity shortage could still be somewhere around 30 to 40 per cent.Without the Air France charter, it could have Air Canada accuses Chretien MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Air Canada chairman Hollis Harris has accused Prime Minister Jean Chretien of personally quashing a deal that would have allowed the airline to fly to Hong Kong.Harris said he reached a \u201cgentleman\u2019s agreement\u201d with Ottawa earlier this year that Air Canada would receive permission to fly to Hong Kong in exchange for dropping its legal challenge to American Airlines\u2019 investment in Canadian Airlines International.On Tuesday, the federal government announced it was denying Air Canada access to Hong Kong for the \u201cnear future.\u201d That prompted Harris on Wednesday to blast Ottawa in general and Chretien in particular for bowing to pressure from Calgary-based Canadian, which serves Hong Kong.\u201cWe think this is a political policy decision that was made by Mr.Chretien himself,\u201d Harris said before addressing a business group.\u201cWe're being punished because Canadian is refusing to accept competition.It appears we are the victims of an East-West (in Canada) political situation.\u201d Harris did not say who at the federal level made the verbal commitment but said Transport Minister Doug Young \u201cwent to bat \u201d for Air Canada.In a statement released Wednesday evening, Young said there was never any move to give Air Canada permission to fly to Hong Kong.\u201cThere is no undertaking with Mr.Harris,\u201d Young said.\u201cAs the minister of transport, I have at no time given Mr.Harris, on behalf of the government of Canada, any undertaking regarding service to Hong Kong by Air Canada.\u201d Despite Tuesday\u2019s setback, Harris predicted that Air Canada will fly to Hong Kong by July been as high as 80 per cent.\u201cWhat is a difficult situation would have been a disaster.\u201d Nova Scotia, predominant producer of yuletide lobster, ships about 360 tonnes each December to France alone, with smaller amounts going to countries like Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany and Britain.That is only a small portion of the total lobster catch, most of which is trucked to the United States.Alan Baker, executive- director of the Canadian Atlantic The RECORD\u2014Friday, December 23, 1994\u20147 Becord Lobster Promotions association, said part of the problem this year was that European buyers were reluctant to place their orders early enough for shippers to book airplane space well in advance.Last year, he said prices dropped late in the season, so the European buyers waited this year anticipating a similar drop.It didn\u2019t happen.And by the time they placed their orders it was too late.There are other factors.Renewed prosperity is increasing the demand for luxury foods and air space, but airlines haven\u2019t caught up.\u201cIt\u2019s actually a worldwide pro: blem,\u201d said Air Canada spokesman Nicole Couture-Simard.Cargo had been a soft product for airlines, she said, \u201cand whet.this happens airlines try to use their resources somewhere else.\u201d Air Canada sold its fleet of ancient DC-8s about a year ago, leaving only \u201ccombies\u201d \u2014 combined passenger and cargo planes \u2014 for cargo.Couture-Simard said things should improve in 1995 when Air Canada buys new airliners with increased cargo capabilities.of scuttling Hong Kong deal bower re optimistic that the government will, by the spring, give us approval to fly to Hong Kong.\u201d \u201cWe're saying to Mr.Chretien, if you want to be fair, you have to give us Hong Kong\u2019 .\u201d Air Canada has second carrier rights to Hong Kong but Ottawa consistently refuses to let it exercise the right and compete with Canadian.\u201cThey're trying to protect the guys in the West, which is unfair,\u201d said Harris.Harris noted that Canadian recently got the right to fly to Delhi, where Air Canada just reopened its own service.\u201cHow can they give them a designation to (New) Delhi, which we are already serving, and not give us a second designation to Hong Kong which is a market four-and-a-half times greater?\u201d About 450,000 passengers a year travel between Hong Kong and Canada, compared with 100,000 to New Delhi.Young invited Canadian carriers to apply by April 1 to serve routes that are designated and not used, or which are underutilized.He said more than half the air agreements between Canada Peso plunge hits Labatt\u2019s Mexican investments TORONTO (CP) \u2014 John Labatt Ltd., already reeling from disruptions in professional sports and stalled in its plans to sell its entertainment assets, has taken a $90-million hit to its Mexican holding with the 15 per cent devaluation of the peso.A major investor in Mexico through its July purchase of 22 per cent of brewer Femza Cerve- sa, Labatt did not hedge its $510 million US stake against the prospect of fluctuations in the value of the peso.The rationale: such instruments \u201cwere just too expensive.\u201d One analyst estimated Wednesday the cost of hedging Labatt\u2019s Mexican exposure would have been about $21 million.On Tuesday, the Mexican government loosened the band in which the peso trades with the American dollar.Its value quickly fell by 15 per cent.If this situation persists, Labatt will have to write down the value of its assets by about $85 million at its April year-end and could expect lower earnings from Mexico.\u201cIt is not great news for Labatt,\u201d said Michael Palmer of Equity Research Associates.\u201cIt is not just a long-term thing \u2014 it will have an impact on earnings and it will have an impact on their stock.\u201cThat is part of the difficulty when you go and invest money in a quasi-Third World nation.\u201d Labatt spokesman Lorne Stephenson downplayed the impact of the peso devaluation.\u201cThis is certainly something that is disappointing, but it is not going to have a material impact on us in the short-term,\u201d he said.Stephenson confirmed the falling peso has reduced the value of the Femza asset by $85 million to $90 million.However, he added \u201cwe would not look at it that way because the only time you would do that is if you are getting ready to sell the asset and that is certainly nothing we are comtemplating.\u201d The plunge of the peso is the last thing Labatt needs right now.Labatt\u2019s efforts to spin off $1 billion in sports and entertainment assets have also gone flat.It now says it is searching for strategic partners, particularly in its broadcasting holdings.And, earlier this month, Labatt reported a $13-million hit on earnings from the major league baseball strike.In the second quarter ended Oct.31, it earned $45 million, down from $47 million a year earlier.Sales jumped to $845 million, from $637 million a year ago, Sharing annuity can split tax burden Since January 1, 1994, spouses who have reached retirement age can ask to share their QPP retirement annuity.This measure was already provided for under the Canada Pension Plan.In addition to the potential economic benefits, sharing a retirement annuity favors splitting income which could reduce the couple\u2019s tax burden.Such an application can be made where only one spouse receives a retirement annuity or where both spouses receive an annuity, but their retirement or other income varies significantly.There is no absolute rule for determining whether it is appropriate to apply to have the amounts split.The Quebec Pension Board will split a beneficiary\u2019s annuity upon receipt of a written request by the beneficiary or his or her spouse.The beneficiary and spouse must be married and not legally separated.Moreover, the spouse must also receive a retirement annuity or have reached 60 years of age and must not contribute to the Quebec Pension Plan.SPOUSE\u2019S PORTION The formula for computing the spouse\u2019s portion is quite complex.However, the portion is generally equal to 50 per cent of the beneficiary\u2019s annuity in proportion to the number of months during which the spouses were married compared to the number of months that the beneficiary contributed to the penion plan.The effective date for sharing a retirement annuity is the month following that in which the Board approves the application.When this approval is acquired, the Board advises the two spouses and informs them of their right to have this decision reviewed.Tue annuities will cease to be MARTIN, PARÉ RAYMOND, CHABOT, split between the spouses at the end of the month in which: a) one of the spouses dies; b) the spouse begins contributing to the QPP; ¢) the spouses divorce, annul their marriage or become legally separated; or d) the Board receives a request to discontinue splitting the annuities signed by both spouses.Paul Gosselin, CA Tax Department Raymond, Chabot, Martin, Paré chartered ;

continuation of improvement of roads - promotion of municipal attractions - improve our program inciting new constructions - improve the support to social and leasure committees - analyze and change our zoning plan so that it will represent the needs of our population.- begin the last stage of the control of septic systems -

Deutsch foresaw these problems, aided by West's opening lead.Needing hearts to be 3-2 and therefore judging West to be very short in clubs, Deutsch ducked the spade queen.West continued with the spade king.Declarer won with dummy\u2019s ace, drew three rounds of trumps and ran her four club tricks, discarding her last spade.A spade ruff in hand brought the good news of a 3-3 split.Declarer immediately claimed 12 tricks: two spades, five hearts, one diamond and four clubs.Saturday, Dec.24, 1994 NORTH 12-24-94 aK 10953 i v9 2 ot P +K Q 10 +987 WEST EAST a82 a6 v74 vQ J10 +J9764 +A832 +A K Q 10 +J 6543 SOUTH AAQJT4 vA K8653 +5 42 Vulnerable: Neither Dealer: South South West North East 1a Pass 34 Pass 4NT Pass 5& Pass 64 Pass Pass Pass Opening lead: 4K Don't bid a slam missing two aces By Phillip Alder You can probably guess the profession of the person who said this: \u201cI wouldn\u2019t want to mislead you by doing other than saying however easy it would be for me to answer the question you have asked, it is not fair for me to go further than I have.And I would not read too much into that.\u201d In bridge, you can occasionally use the answer to a question to mislead the opponents.The declarer in today\u2019s deal was John Collings, a mercurial player with an enormous talent for the game.His lack of discipline, however, sometimes results in his not doing as well as he should.After North had made a limit raise of three spades, Collings launched into Blackwood.Hearing of no aces opposite, most players would sign off in five spades.But Collings decided that if the missing aces were split, he might be able to engineer a coup.He bid six spades! West led a top club, under which East signaled with the three.Not anticipating the danger, West continued with the club ace.Gleefully, Collings ruffed, drew trumps and played three WAS THAT SANTA

Opening lead: vK South 4a Pass Wisdom advises caution By Phillip Alder In the British Commonwealth, today is called Boxing Day because lords of the manor traditionally gave their serfs gifts in boxes.Nevertheless, one automatically conjures up a picture of pugilists in the ring.And as the Israeli statesman Abba Eban said, \u201cHistory teaches us that men and nations behave wisely once they have exhausted all other alternatives.\u201d At the bridge table, sometimes the right play is the last one you consider.However, if you make a habit of analyzing all the alternatives, you will eventually realize which is best and make the winning play.Today's deal is like that.South opened four spades, of course.East doubled to show cards and West bid his best suit.After North\u2019s five spades, West was tempted to go to six diamonds but rightly resisted the temptation.West cashed the heart king, then played a heart to his partner.What should East lead now?Under different circumstances, the diamond jack would work well but it is clearly useless here.How about the club king?That can also achieve nothing.If South has a tlub loser, it isn\u2019t going anywhere.Here, this defense just helps South establish dummy\u2019s fifth club for a discard, using all three of dummy\u2019s trump entries in the process.The killing defense is a trump switch, which uses up one of dummy\u2019s entries prematurely.South must lose a diamond at trick 13, for one down.Phillip Alder\u2019s new book, \u201cGet Smarter at Bridge,\u201d is available, autographed upon request, for

December 7 and it seemed that winter had come, but the members came in vast numbers to see who the New Members are this year.New Members Night is also a Ladies Night and Janice Graham did her usual good turn by providing us with music \u2019till supper was ready, President Cec remembered to say thanks.By 6:30 the tables were all full except the head table, Irving's horn blew loud and clear and Mac Juby called in the head table two by two.At the request of the President, Russ Hopkins said grace and the White Knights were right there with the steaming hot soup.This was the first course of their last night on duty and they were anxious to finish things with a flourish.The ham was excellent and very soothing to scorched tongues (that was good hot soup).Bill Lyon, don\u2019t know if he was Red or Blue Party, he has both emblems on his jacket, made a presentation to President Cec of a hunting trophy from the Blue Party.There was some discussion as to whether it was a Jackalope (cross between a jack rabbit and pronghorn antelope) from the western prairies, or a deer- abbit (cross between a whitetail deer and snowshoe rabbit) from the Gaspé.Both are in the class of endangered species, but it is legal to shoot bucks and this particular specimen has a full rack of horns.It will look well on the wall of Cec\u2019s trophy room.Hawkeye and Irving proposed the Governor General's toast and Mac Juby, all by himself, proposed the toast to the ladies.The ladies were it 0 10\" or 6 our name: The Record is offering a special savings of on 12 months subscriptions T_T Your phone no.: doing pretty good, Phil Kerwin drew the ticket for the half-and-half and Mrs.Poulin came up to collect and while she was there drew the ladies name for the floral centrepiece and Louise Hopkins had flowers to take home if she can get them to the car without freezing.Tonight there were only three guests which is small for this type of meeting.At the other extreme, Bill Lyon claims that those empty dinner plates in front of him were eaten by someone else.Mentioning Bill reminds us that he reminded the Club to prepare for the Blue Party Auction to be held on February 11, Ladies Night.The Choristers Grant and Basil, with a little help from Irving had a nearly Christmas sing-song, however Jingle Bells came through loud and clear.The new members and their wives were called up to be inducted (whatever that means).The men had a name tag pinned on them and signed the Book, Mac Juby had the pleasant job of pinning the corsages on the ladies (under the watchful eye of Bea).Don Lyon (this year\u2019s Honorary President), delivered the charge and turned the men over to Mel Bryant to be fitted with white jackets and instructed in the art of getting food on the table and not on the members.The new members as part of their initiation must provide a service to the Club for their first year (this is pronounced \u2018serve us\u2019 by the older members).This year\u2019s new chums are Ross Beattie, Earl Gould, John Keenan, Rick Lapointe, Mac McLeod and Gilbert Winte.à er a te GAS EP D Es ee Ln | 9 months 5 | Please send gift card Subscriber's Name: Subscription New] Renewal 0d

Peter gave the antidote to pride in today\u2019s verse.he told us to \u201cbe clothed with humility.\u201d Literally, this means \u201cput on the servant\u2019s apron.\u201d Our attitude should be a desire to serve.I saw this illustrated in the life of the pastor of the church where I was saved as a young man.He so identified with and PUT ON YOUR APRON Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility.\u2014 1 Peter 5:5 served his congregation that some people in the community were surpised to learn that he was a pastor.If there was building to be done, he put on his carpenter's apron and swung a hammer.If painting, he donned his paint clothes and slung a brush.If cement work, he put on boots and grabbed a trowel.If dirt was being shoveled, he pulled on his gloves and did his part.My pastor had a lot to be proud of, but he didn\u2019t know it.That\u2019s because he was too busy serving his congregation.He taught us what it means to be clothed with humility.And I'm sure he learned it from Christ, who washed His disciples\u2019 feet.\u2014 David C.Egner When Jesus took a servant\u2019s towel \u2014 His honor set aside \u2014 He humbly showed us how to serve, And how to conquer pride.\u2014 Sper NO GARMENT IS MORE BECOMING TO A CHRISTIAN THAN THE CLOAK OF HUMILITY.TH Our Daily Bread\u201d, copyright 1990 by Rodio Bible Class, Grand Ropids, Michigar.: Used by permission.5 \u2014 \"COMPLIMENTS OF ,-.EATON REGULAR BAPTIST CHURCH 443 - Highway 108, Birchton, R.R.#5, Cookshire, Que, JOB 1MO \u201c 10:00 a.m.The Lord's Supper 11:00 a.m.Family Bible Hour 11:00 a.m.Sunday School -Nursery for all services- December 24 7:00-8:15 p.m.Candlelight Service PHONE: 822-2627 EVERYONE WELCOME @ATTEND gg Lao TV: IT OF, YOUR CHOICE!

season underway Melbourne filly Quebec\u2019s top trotter But avoid upper Magog SHERBROOKE \u2014 Eager fishermen swarmed over the lakes and rivers of the Eastern Townships this week as the winter season opened, but some were wetting their lines where they shouldn't.Conservation Ministry spokesman Paul Jeannotte said Thursday many fishermen were seen fishing off bridges over the Magog River between Lakes Memphremagog and Magog \u2014 an area where fish are particularly vulnerable and winter fishing is forbidden.\u201cThere is no fishing allowed in this section, which runs from the tip of Ile Charest in Magog to where the river enters the little lake,\u201d Jeannotte said.The so-called ice-fishing season runs from December 20 to March 31 and includes fishing on most open water.Many fishermen were using boats as well as bridges this week, Jeannotte said.\u201cWe didn\u2019t see any out on the ice,\u201d he added with a laugh, referring to the late freeze-up which has left most surfaces unfrozen so far this winter.Jeannotte invites anyone not sure about where they may fish to consult the provincial guide, which includes all the ice-fishing rules and restrictions.NBA clubs to help pick national coach By Doug Smith TORONTO (CP) \u2014 The Vancouver Grizzlies and Toronto Raptors have taken a hands-on approach to the selection of the next coach of Canada\u2019s national men\u2019s basketball team.Grizzlies general manager Stu Jackson and Glen Grunwald, the assistant to Raptors vice- president Isiah Thomas, are on the six-person committee that will begin immediately to try and find a replacement for Ken Shields, who resigned earlier this month.Mike Smrek, a veteran of the national program and a two-time NBA champion with the Los Angeles Lakers, is the players\u2019 representative on the panel, which is chaired by Basketball Canada executive-director Rick Traer.Ernie Armstrong, the long-time coach of the Seneca college basketball team and the school\u2019s director of athletics, is an at-large member of the committee while a representative of the Canadian Interuniversity Athletic Union is still to be named.BEST CANDIDATE \u201cThe idea is to get the best possible candidate available and get on with developing a winning program and qualify for the Olympics,\u201d Grunwald said in a telephone interview.Smrek, a native of Port Robinson, Ont., has the widest array of basketball experience of any Canadian player.He was been with the national program at some level since 1981, played on two NBA championship teams with the Los Angeles Lakers and has played in Italy and Greece.The selection process is wide open, Traer said from his Ottawa office.The candidate will not necessarily be a Canadian, nor will he or she necessarily be available early in 1995.The selection committee could decide on its coach in February but hires someone on a contract covering the crucial summer months.GARANTIE +, NZ * Tecumseh motor 4 cycle \"snow

Little controversy with junior team Time | Out\u2019 By Bill Beacon | The Canadian Préss This year, there was little outcry when only two players from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League made Canada\u2019s national junior team.A few commentators claimed robbery \u2014 particularly in the case of Chicoutimi goaltender Eric Fichaud \u2014 but with less venom than in past years.\u201cThere were years when I complained of injustice but, this time, there are too many intangibles that make me think otherwise,\u201d league president Gilles Courteau said.Only Alexandre Daigle, the first overall pick in the 1993 NHL entry draft, and six-foot- five, 205-pound winger Eric Daze made coach Don Hay\u2019s national team from the Quebec league.(A third French-speaking player made the team \u2014 Sault Ste.Marie goaltender Dan Cloutier, who is a native of Mont- Laurier.) INJURIES By intangibles, Courteau was alluding to injuries that made such top Quebec prospects as defenceman Christian Laflamme and forward Daniel Goneau unavailable.In addition, -eight players from last year\u2019s team, some of whom would probably have been with NHL clubs had it not been for the lockout, were occupying training camp roster spots.Hay showed he was not afraid to make-tough decisions.He cut Brett Lindros, who in normal circumstances would probably be playing now for the New York Islanders, because he wasn\u2019t suited for international hockey.Fichaud, a Toronto Maple Leafs draft pick who some say was the best goaltender in camp, was livid at being cut.The Quebec Nordiques\u2019 Jocelyn Thibault, another netminder, was disappointed that a bad shoulder cost him his chance to make the team.But when final cuts were made Monday, even Daigle said: \u201cI believe they picked the 22 best players in Canada.This is not a popularity or language contest.If you were the best, you got picked.\u201d It was grudging acceptance, however.FLIMSY EXCUSES Too often in the past, excellent players from the Quebec league have been passed up for flimsy reasons.Goaltenders Patrick Roy of the Montreal Canadiens and Martin Brodeur of the New Jersey Devils are among those who have been deemed not good enough.It is widely perceived that coaches from Ontario and western Canada have a jaundiced view of Quebec players as being lazy and overly individualistic, although even Quebecers joke that there is no French word for backcheck.But as recently as 1993, three Two types of muscle fiber at work Twitching through the game The Sunday morning hockey crowd is now a firmly established sub-culture in the Townships.Rising at 5:30 a.m.with a minimum of rest, they risk life and limb hurtling through snow qualls in the predawn darkness.They fumble with trunk latches and drag bags overloaded with dank equipment through unforgiving hydraulic doors that slap them on the shoulder as they move slowly through.TRANSFORMATION The poisons and byproducts of Saturday night still circulating in their veins, they treat their foggy heads to that first refreshing view of the silent virgin surface, brilliantly lit by banks of mercury suns in the rafters of the arena.In the next few minutes, pleasantries are exchanged while frozen Long Johns and skates causes groans of discomfort.The transformation occurs.A few pounding steps in the corridor give way to the smooth cut of blades on ice.All is well with the world.Let the game begin! Although the mental aspects of this situation are analysed regularly by nearly all of the participants\u2019 spouses, little attention has been paid to the physiologic implications.Hockey is a game of short bursts of intense speed followed by rest periods of similar duration.Players are encouraged to, \u201cGo hard and get off.\u201d The effects of such repetitive maximal efforts are well known to all players.The rapid heart rate, shortness of breath and burning fatigue in the legs are all signs of oxygen debt or anaerobic stress.Aerobic Sports By Bill Williams Better players go faster but not longer.It is impossible to continue at such intensity for more than about a minute.Energy output is based more on muscle glycogen use than on oxygen utilization.As the season progresses, players become better adapted to this form of exercise.They show increasing ability to skate faster and to recover more completely during rest intervals.MUSCLE FIBER The cellular anatomy of the muscles themselves holds some clues to this type of conditioning.Work done over the last two decades has shown that there are two principal types of muscle fiber.The first, which takes about 110ms to contract in a completely aerobic manner, is known as a Slow Twitch or ST fiber.The second contracts rapidly in about 50msec in progressively anaerobic fashion and is known as a Fast Twitch or FT fiber.The FT fibers have been further divided into FTa, FTb and FTc according to their increasing 4 rates of contraction and subsequently more anaerobic natures.ST fibers are associated with endurance type activity of low intensity where an adequate supply of oxygen can be maintained to the tissues.Increasing intensity of exercise, beyond the oxygen supply, demands the use of first FTa, then FTb, and then FTc type fibers.The initial quantities of each type of fiber present in the major limb muscles seem to be genetically determined.However, research has shown there is some potential for conversion of FTa fibers to slower ST fibers or to faster FTb fibers depending on the type of training and on the presence of cross innervation between the motor neurons that supply these groups of fibers.The strength and thus the speed of the muscle contraction is based mainly on the number of fibers contracting at any one time and not on the size of individual fibers.ST motor units tend to have relatively few fibers per motor neuron (10-180), while FT motor units have more (300-800).Thus, FT dominated muscles contract faster with greater strength.Highly trained sprinters and hockey players have up to 75 per cent FT fibers and 25 per cent ST fibers.World Champion marathoners have as little as one per cent to seven per cent FT fibers, their biopsies showing up to 99 per cent ST fibers.NOT SO SIMPLE All FT hockey players and of the six first-team NHL all- stars were graduates of the Quebec league.The same year, the Canadiens \u2014 with half their roster from Quebec \u2014 won the Stanley Cup.The success of players like Roy, Mario Lemieux and Raymond Bourque at the NHL level is why many Quebecers boil over when their players are cut year after year from national junior and Olympic squads.But that and the fact the QMJHL lags far behind Ontario and the West in having players drafted by NHL clubs are things the Quebec league could probably remedy.All it would take is to win the Memorial Cup \u2014 the annual junior hockey championship \u2014 to gain instant respect.A Quebec team has not won since 1971, when Guy Lafleur led the Quebec Remparts.Until a QMJHL club wins it all, it\u2019s hard to argue with the national coaches\u2019 selections.Canada has won the world junior championship five of the last seven years.sprinters should have explosive speed while ST distance runners should have unending endurance.Unfortunately, it\u2019s not quite that simple.Recreational athletes are not elite.Most have a mixture of fibers very similar to the 50 per cent ST - 50 per cent FT balance seen in sedentary people .and weight lifters! This allows for the presence, among us, of some fine combination athletes, playing hockey, nordic skiing, canoeing, running the marathon and tackling daylong triathlons.At times, even downhill skiing and curling may round out the portfolios of these active individuals.Conversion from one class of fiber to the other under repetitive stress shifts the balance one way or the other.This probably accounts for the \u201csport specific\u201d improvement noted with continuous year round training in certain competitors who are not genetically favoured.So, back out at the rink Sunday morning, the veterans are chugging up and down the ice and leaping over the boards with great gusto.Believe it or not, they are improving.Even the 60+ veterans are factors to be reckoned with.Like the old Timex watches, \u201cThey take a licking and keep on ticking.\u201d Or is it FT twitching.Please send information or comments to: Bill Williams, 1574 Mystic Rd., Bedford, JOJ 1A0.Phone or Fax: (514) 248-7273.

Thibault was outside the net and defencemen Steven Low and Stéphane Julien were almost asleep at their posts.The Faucons lost 5-1 to the Foreur in one of the most boring games of the season at the

night for NHL talks No peace on ice this Christmas By Alan Adams The Canadian Press \"Tis the season of stalled hockey negotiations.Union boss Bob Goodenow and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman continued their not-so- festive version of Silent Night on Thursday, going through their eighth straight day without talking to each other.Contact at lower levels was made between owners and players, who have been locked out since Oct.1.NHL vice-president Jeff Pash was called by a union official, presumably to arrange another round of sub-committee negotiations after Christmas, probably Monday.There are no full-scale talks planned.The last time they had what has now been termed as \u201c- meaningful negotiations\u201d was Dec.6, although progress has Sport shorts been made through low-level talks the NHL describes as informal.OMINOUS WARNING As Christmas approached, it appeared there would be no peace on ice as evidenced from an ominous warning sounded by one of the more moderate voices involved in the NHL labor mess.\u201cNo deal next week, no season,\u201d Toronto president Cliff Fletcher told The Toronto Sun before he boarded a plane to spend Christmas in Hawaii.Goodenow skipped an office party to head to Detroit for a meeting with union lawyer Rob Riley.While he was south of the border, the NHL conducted a conference call with general managers to update them on what the league feels transpired at Wednesday\u2019s union meeting in Toronto.One GM said the league asked them to back off on criticism of players because players have been more diplomatic towards owners.\u201cCall it a Christmas truce,\u201d he said.Pash also informed the GMs that the league has not taken a controversial tax.plan off the table despite reports tothe contrary.This sent the league into doubletalk overdrive.NOTHING OFFICIAL In sub-committee meetings last week, both sides discussed the possibilities of a settlement with and without a payroll tax.League officials say the talks took place in a conceptual level without an official proposal being formulated.A influential team president called The Canadian Press on Thursday and objected to the league\u2019s version of the events.\u201cIf this is not a proposal, then why did they call me last week and ask my opinion,\u201d he said.\u201cOf course it is a proposal.\u201d The NHL says that no deal can be struck unless a drag on salaries is included.Bettman\u2019s fax machine has been busy over the last couple of days, with owners and general managers sending the commissioner proposals to bring to the table whenever negotiations resume.Bettman is analyzing the documents.\u201cWe have all done some summaries and submitted to him some documents we thought might work,\u201d said Edmonton general manager Glen Sather.\u201c- But nobody has made a submission without a tax.The tax is still there.\u201d Players have said there will be no season if the owners insist to a tax.Players are willing to give more on salary arbitration but not capitulate on it completely.HAMILTON (CP) \u2014 Way- mark Group, a contracting firm from nearby Burlington, signed on Thursday as a corporate sponsor of the Hamilton Tiger-Cats leaving the CFL franchise less than $100,000 from its goal.Waymark Group\u2019s undisclosed pledge pushed the Ticats over $900,000 in corporate sponsorship, the club said in a news release.WHITE PLAINS, N.Y.(AP) \u2014 Carl Allen, the breeder-owner- trainer of this year\u2019s champion two-year-old trotting and pacing fillies, was selected the Glen Garnsey trainer of the year Thursday by the U.S.Harness Writers Association.The two fillies, CR Kay Suzie and CR Daniella, were raised on Allen\u2019s Ocala, Fla., farm, and he planned and implemented every aspect of their campaigns.Paula Wellwood of Cambridge, Ont., was picked as the Dick Baker assistant trainer of the year.ORCHARD PARK, N.Y.(AP) \u2014 Centre Kent Hull signed.a four-year, $5.2 million contract with the Buffalo Bills on Thursday.Hull, 33, was in the final year of his contract.He passed up free agency to re-sign with the Bills, for whom he has been a three- time Pro Bowl selection.\u201cI started my career here and I definitely want to finish it here,\u201d said Hull, who signed with the Bills in 1986 as a free agent after three years in the USFL.Se RIT 1995 WORLD JUNIOR HOCKEY CHAMPIONSHIP Exhibition and

salary cap By Ronald Blum WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 Baseball owners rejected the players\u2019 latest proposal Thursday night, declared an impasse in bargaining and voted to impose a salary cap.\u201cDue to the continued existence of this deadlock and the need to prepare for the 1995 season, the executive council today voted to exercise major league baseball\u2019s right under federal labor law to implement the clubs\u2019 final salary cap proposal, effective 12:01 a.m.EST, Dec.23, 1994,\u201d said management negotiator John Harrington.The move eliminates salary arbitration and immediately creates a new group of 63 restricted free agents, including Jack McDowell, Jim Abbott and Marquis Grissom.It also eliminates many of the union\u2019s gains in collective bargaining during the past 23 years.Union head Donald Fehr called the imposition \u201cpreordained.\u201d Players struck Aug.12 rather than accept a salary cap, wiping out the final 52 days and 669 games of the season.On Sept.14, owners canceled the World Series for the first time since 1904.\u201cThis is certainly a sad day,\u201d Fehr said.\u201cIt\u2019s regrettable.I think the owners will come to regret it \u2014 sooner than they think.\u201d Owners already had postponed their deadline for implementation twice \u2014 from Dec.5 to Dec.15 to Dec.22.On Dec.15, they voted 25-3 to give the ruling executive council the authority to impose the cap if there wasn\u2019t a deal by Thursday.\u201cI reluctantly and very sadly have to say to you tonight that negotiations have broken off,\u201d mediator W.J.Usery said.\u201cIt was very unfortunate that we have been unable to consummate an agreement.Tonight there was no use to go any further.\u201d The next effort to restart the baseball talks could fall to former President Jimmy Carter, who offered to get involved if needed.Fehr also raised the possibility of a long court fight, saying, \u201cIt may not even be halftime yet.\u201d \u201cThey measure every proposal up against a salary cap and unless it measures as high as a salary cap, they don't want it,\u201d Umpires Fehr said.Carter offered to get involved earlier Thursday \u201conly if the present attempt to reach an agreement between the players and the owners is likely to be abandoned.\u201d Eugene Orza, the union\u2019s No.2 official, said a move to impose the cap would be challenged within 48 hours.Players will file an unfair labor practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board, asking the agency to seek a preliminary injunction in federal court.The players\u2019 latest proposal included a progressive tax with rates of 10 and 25 per cent.But Philadelphia Phillies co-general partner Dave Montgomery said the plan \u201cbrings us no closer to the objectives we were talking about.\u201d He said the tax would total just $600,000 for all clubs.TAX REJECTED Owners studied the proposal for six hours before rejecting it.\u201cThe 25 per cent marginal tax rate proposed by the union is an illusion,\u201d owners said in a statement.\u201cIt kicks in at a payroll level that is $8 million more than any club has ever paid.\u201cTherefore, no club will be taxed at 25 per cent in 1995 or in any year covered under the proposal.It is, quite frankly, an empty bag.The only other marginal tax rate in the union\u2019s proposal is just 10 per cent.Only three clubs are at that level \u2014 and just barely,\u201d the owners said.Usery joked about Carter's possible involvement.\u201cThe one thing I didn\u2019t think we needed at the moment was another mediator,\u201d he said.Carter mediated the Camp David peace accord between Israel and Egypt and has been a high profile mediator this year, resolving the standoff between the United States and Haiti.Earlier this month, he was attempting to mediate between Bosnian and Serbian factions in the former Yugoslavia.Usery was to report today to Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who appointed him Oct.14.In recent days, several government officials have said they intend to re-examine the baseball owners\u2019 antitrust exemption.\u201cI know that congressmen, senators, some people in the administration, have a lot to say here,\u201d Usery said.worried about lockout PHILADELPHIA (AP) \u2014 With players and owners trying to settle a strike in Washington, another baseball dispute broke out Thursday, with umpires claiming they will be locked out Jan.1.Richie Phillips, general counsel of the Major League Umpires Association, filed unfair labor charges against the American and National leagues with the National Labor Relations Board, saying the leagues have failed to bargain in good faith.\u201cThe position that they're taking evidences a lack of responsibility or a lack of concern for the credibility of baseball; anarchy reigns at the other side of the table,\u201d Phillips said.\u201cThey can take a hard-line position as long as there\u2019s snow on the ground.But come April, they're going to need the umpires.\u201d Umpires, who are paid year-round, won't be paid after Jan.1, Phillips said.Management lawyer Robert Kheel said no decision had: been made but said a lockout was an option.: Umpires struck the first seven weeks of the 1979 season and for seven playoff games in 1984.In 1994, they made from $60,000 to: $175,000, depending on seniority.Under the four-year agreement: that expires Dec.31, they also receive an additional $10,000 to: $20,000 each from the postseason bonus pool, a total of $1.2 million.PLAY DARTS \u201cHELP A CHILD\u201d TOURNAMENT SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1935
