the disease is still extremely rare and there is no need for a public health campaign despite a recent spate of reported cases, Reports due in two weeks $5 million, 390 hearings later sovereignty road show closes By Daniel Sanger MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Now what?With a chat over coffee and doughnuts attended by a handful of seniors in the remote and windswept Magdalen Islands, Quebec\u2019s regional sovereignty commissions quietly wrapped up their public consultations Tuesday.Now, after 390 hearings, at least $5 million in expenses and an undetermined impact, it\u2019s time for the Parti Québécois government to decide what to do with the panoply of proposals put forward.Time isn\u2019t pressing just yet: the 18 commissions still have almost two weeks before they are required to hand in their final reports.And then a super-commission made up of the regional presidents and probably Premier Jacques Parizeau himself will hear from \u201cnational organizations\u201d such as trade unions and business groups before producing its own super-report.WILDLY DISPARATE But eventually the government will have to decide what to do with the more than 4,500 briefs submitted to the commissions and their wildly disparate recommendations.\u201cThere were a lot more questions asked than answers given,\u201d said Alain Noël, a political scientist at the Universite de Montreal.Consultations hear more \u201cAnd of the recommendations put forth, many were flatly contradictory so there is no magic recipe that will somehow reconcile them all.\u201d Given its unwieldy

Tuesday.Some facts on the commissions: CREATED: December 1994 by Premier Jacques Parizeau as a consultation and information process prior to a referendum on sovereignty.WHERE: One for each of Quebec\u2019s 16 regions as well as special commissions to hear from the province\u2019s youth and elderly.HEARINGS: À total of 390 hearings, forums and debates, many of which have been broadcast on various television stations, were held by the time the public consultation wrapped up in the Magdalen Islands.BRIEFS: Over 4,500 written briefs were submitted.ATTENDANCE: About 53,500 attended the various events.COST: At least $5 million.WHAT\u2019S NEXT: The commissions have a deadline of March 20 to hand in their various reports.After that a \u201csuper\u201d commission made up of the 18

increase in cases.\u201d Colin was at a loss to explain the cluster of four deaths in less than two weeks, saying there has still not been an explanation for a similar rash that appeared in the United Kingdom in 1993.She said the number of cases in Quebec so far is proportional to the number expected in other provinces and other countries.A Montreal health official said there are about 20 to 30 such cases a year in the province, not all fatal.Colin said Lucien Bouchard\u2019s battle with flesh-eating infection gave it a high profile and made it better known both in medical circles and in the media.\u201cI'm sure there were deaths last year which were not reported,\u201d she added.The province will probably follow Ontario\u2019s example and See DISEASE: Page 2 RECORD: PERRY BEATON The

for governing will be lost\u2019 Tough times for PQ after No: Liberals By Katia Gagnon MONT-ROLLAND, Que.(CP) \u2014 The Parti Québécois government should question its ability to stay in power if it loses a referendum on sovereignty, Liberal Leader Daniel Johnson said Tuesday.But Johnson wouldn't say if he\u2019ll call on Premier Jacques Parizeau\u2019s government to resign in the event of a No vote.\u201cWe'll see at the time what political basis the government still has for governing,\u201d Johnson said as he emerged from a special meeting of his caucus in this Laurentian resort.\u201cBut what reason \u2014 other than sovereignty \u2014 is there for Jacques Parizeau to be in politics?\u201d Some Liberal members of the legislature, meeting to prepare for the resumption of the legislature, went further than their leader.\u201cOnce Quebecers have told Mr.Parizeau they aren\u2019t separatists he'll have a choice: say that he\u2019s no longer a separatist himself or quit,\u201d said Jean-Marc Fournier.Vetern Liberal member Andre Bourbeau agreed.\u201cCan a government continue to govern for two or three years when its program has been, for all intents and purposes, cancelled?It would be surprising,\u201d Bourbeau said.Senator infuriates women\u2019s groups PLYMOUTH CHRYSLER INC.Parizeau has promised to hold a referendum on independence this year.Recent

senator\u2019s suggestion Tuesday that abusive mothers are responsible for much domestic violence provoked outrage at a meeting honoring International Women\u2019s Week.Angry women challenged a defensive Senator Anne Cools after she stated abusive mothers are responsible for rearing men that abuse.A past member of the National Parole Board, Cools said she has learned the relationship between a mother and a son who grows up to become violent is \u201cone side of the equation that's grossly overlooked.\u201cAnd I want to leave with all of * Featuring favourable rates you here, that behind every abusing husband is an abusing mother.\u201d Cools cited no specific studies to support her position, which was contradicted by critics, including Lesley Ackrill who works in a Toronto shelter for abused women and children.\u201cStudies show its more likely that boys grow up to be abusers if they see their fathers abusing their mothers,\u201d said Ackrill of Interval House.\u201cWhat we see from the boys who come to this shelter is that they pattern themselves after their fathers.\u201d After Cools spoke, several women said they were deeply offended and argued the former social worker was operating with outdated information and perceptions.\u201cI found it very upsetting,\u201d one woman told Cools in an angry confrontation.\u201cI'm pleased that you found it upsetting,\u201d responded the senator, a former member of the Justice Committee on Spousal Abuse.\u201cMaybe it will cause you to think a little.\u201d Later the woman, who would not give her name, said Cools\u2019s comments on abusive mothers was \u201can insult.\u201cI don\u2019t think there is a person in this room who isn\u2019t disturbed by that statement.\u201d Take advantage of our \u201cGOLD KEY\u201d

that this woman has old data and an old comprehension with myths about power and abuse coloring her entire point of view.Cools, who complained about the \u201caggression\u201d shown by her opponents, said the violence between men and women must be examined in new ways.\u201cFor us to profoundly begin to understand the extent of the depth of men\u2019s violence to women, we also have to look at the relationship between women and little boys, boys when they're very, very young.\u201d 1138 Route 220, St-Elle d'Orford (5 minutes from Carrefour Shopping Centre) 4 2\u2014The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, March 8, 1995 Detective: One killer slew victims in O.J.Simpson case LOS ANGELES (AP) \u2014 À single killer slasheJ the throats of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, dripping the victims\u2019 blood from the weapon onto Goldman\u2019s shoe, a detective testified Tuesday at the O.J.Simpson trial.; In addition to challenging suggestions that the slayings could not have been carried out by one person, Los Angeles Police Det.Tom Lange undermined three other defence theories: \u2014 That the blood under Nicole Simpson\u2019s fingernails points to someone other than her ex- husband as the killer.\u2014 That Goldman punched his attacker.\u2014 And that the cup of still- lumpy ice cream on a banister in Nicole Simpson\u2019s condominium suggests the slayings took place later in the evening than the prosecution contends.Governor brings From AP-Reuters ALBANY, N.Y.(CP) \u2014 Gov.George Pataki, using the pens of two slain police officers, brushed aside 18 years of vetoes by Democratic governors and signed a bill Tuesday to make New York the 38th state with a death penalty.Surrounded by the relatives of murder victims, law enforcement officials and politicians, Pataki signed the bill at a news History, culture give an edge conference after the state assembly approved the legislation.\u201cOur state has travelled a long and arduous road to arrive at this point in history,\u201d said the Republican governor.\u201cThat long road is now over.Justice will now be served.\u201d The New York state legislature approved capital punishment bills for 18 straight years, only to see them vetoed by Mario Cuomo \u201cSir, without giving your opinion as to the guilt or innocence of the defendant, did you form a theory of the case?\u201d prosecutor Marcia Clark asked Lange.\u201cYes,\u201d the detective said, \u201cthat it was perpetrated by one person.I observed one distinct set of bloody shoeprints between both victims .Both victims were killed in a similar manner, slashing and stabbing wounds.Both victims had their throats slashed.\u201d The detective also said there was a mixture of both victims\u2019 blood on the sole of Goldman's shoe, \u201cindicating to me a castoff of blood from one murder weapon\u201d as Goldman lay on the ground.Lange, in his sixth day on the stand, dismissed the defence suggestion that the June 12 slayings outside Nicole Simpson\u2019s condo were a drug hit, enumerating the signposts he said were missing in this case.He said such slayings usually are committed with guns, and there 1s evidence of drugs being used or sold at the scene.Also, he said, the scene at a drug slaying 1s usually ransacked in a search oy the killers for money, guns or incnminating documents.Clark questioned Lange about the glove found at the crime scene and one found at Simpson\u2019s estate.Lange said the size of Simpson\u2019s hands \u2014 as well as a cut noticed on Simpson\u2019s left middle finger during a police interview \u2014 played a role in the decision to charge him with murder.Lange, undermining another central defence argument, also speculated that Goldman didn\u2019t punch his attacker.back death penalty for New York aiid his Democratic predecessor, Hugh Carey.Pataki campaigned on a promise to restore the death penalty.\u201cThis is a more significant day than many of us realize,\u201d said

Olympics, Prince Albert of Monaco said Tuesday.\u201cThere is a very special atmosphere,\u201d in Quebec City, he said.The prince, the heir to the principality of Monaco in squthern France, is a member of the International Olympic Committee, which will award the Games this June.He said Quebec City has a solid bid but he reserved his highest praise for the city\u2019s unique atmosphere as a

Lake City; Ostersund, Sweden; and Sion, Switzerland.Prince Albert, a darling of the French tabloids, which love to speculate on his private life, spent the last two days in the Quebec City region

persuade Albertans his province would be happier alone.Créte then suggested Western Canadians follow suit.\u201cWe don\u2019t need a big political market anymore here,\u201d he said.\u201cThe only way for Quebec to give a clear message to Canada about what change is needed is sovereignty.\u201d Rotary Club members joked later that the Bloc member was brave to bring his separatist ways

\u2014 The Parti Québécois government is calling for a federal-provincial meeting on Ottawa\u2019s plans for social reform and manpower training.Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Louise Beaudoin said Tuesday that Quebec wants the meeting because last week\u2019s federal budget rejigged federal funding for social programs, health care and education.Beaudoin said it\u2019s time Ottawa sits down with the provinces and set the record straight about federal plans for social reform, adding that Quebec would use the meeting to argue for control over manpower training.\u201cSomething has to happen and if it doesn\u2019t happen now it will happen with the referendum,\u201d she said at a news conference.\u201cIf they (Ottawa) can\u2019t be reasonable, Quebecers will know the only other way is

officials moved too slow By Deborah McDougall TORONTO (CP) \u2014 The American doctor who first warned AIDS could infect millions through the blood supply says Canadian officials moved \u201cremarkably slow\u201d to purify it.U.S.officials weren't much quicker and that proved \u201cdeadly,\u201d Don Francis said Tuesday.À äftér festifying 4t an igtiibydntod Canada\u2019s tainted-blood scandal.The AIDS researcher called the scandal \u201ca story of remarkable inertia and remarkable denial.\u201d The inquiry is investigating why more than 1,000 Canadians were infected with the AIDS virus through the blood supply in the early 1980s.Most of them were hemophiliacs.Francis, the first witness at national hearings expected to take seven months, has insisted thousands of lives could have been saved if the system had lis- tefied teh hind soofiet.24h He was an epidemiologist at the Centres for Disease Control in Phoenix when he was notified by July 1982 that three hemophiliacs and intravenous drug users had AIDS.Francis called an emergency meeting of U.S.health officials in Washington to warn them about the deadly disease, he told the inquiry.American health policy should have overhauled by January 1983 to protect the blood supply, he said, but officials were crippled by \u201cintertia.\u201d \u2018Those affected by Canada\u2019s tainted blood are hoping

Chrétien\u2019s office denies he\u2019s avoiding a United Nations conference on social development for fear of being accused of abandoning social programs at home.\u201cHe\u2019s engaged in budget activities,\u201d Peter Donolo, Chrétien\u2019s communications adviser, said Tuesday.\u201cThe prime minister feels he can\u2019t spend important times like this outside of Canada.\u201d A number of Canadian groups attending the U.N.World Summit for Social Development in Copenhagen say Chrétien deliberately skipped the meeting because of the recent federal budget that slashed government spending.The cuts included a reduction in foreign aid and less money for the provinces to spend on post secondary education, welfare and health care.Critics said that as a result Chrétien did not want to go to an international conference aimed at strengthening social programs around the world, with richer countries helping poorer countries.\u201cChrétien has given the cold shoulder to the poorest nations in the world while preparing a warm welcome for the seven wealthiest nations at the G-7 summit in Halifax in June,\u201d said Michelle Jay, a Prince Edward Island resident at the Copenhagen meeting.Canada\u2019s representative at the conference is Human Resources Minister Lloyd Axworthy, who is in charge of federal efforts to reform social programs.Chrétien is not the only foreign leader not at the summit \u2014 U.S.President Bill Clinton and others did not attend either.Donolo said Chrétien had several reasons for not going.He has been preoccupied with the fishing dispute off the East Coast for days.He also has trips planned later this week to Monc- ton and Winnipeg to defend the budget.Chrétien feels he should not \u201c- jet off outside the country when its important that he be explaining the budget to Canadians,\u201d said Donolo.DISEASE: Continued from page one require the reporting of illnesses known as severe invasive Group A streptococcal infections, which include

LENNOXVILLE \u2014 Townships\u2019 gun owners are stepping up opposition to the gun control law proposed by Justice Minister Allan Rock which would require gun owners to register their firearms or face criminal penalties.Like many local shooters, Eastern Townships Fish and Game Club Alliance president Charles Barnett questions the legisla- Jacques Cartier closed from July to November Warner

crime,\u201d Barnett said .The Mansonville firearm safety instructor said he thinks Bill C-68 is going to end up costing taxpayers a fortune, and will only result in more hassles for honest gun owners \u2014 not criminals.\u201cWe already have laws which should be enforced.This bill isn\u2019t doing anything to control crime.It just punishes law-abiding citizens,\u201d said Barnett.REGISTRATION FEE \u201cThey say it costs $83 to register a firearm.If there are eight to ten million hunting firearms in the country who's going to pay for it?The governments don\u2019t have any money so it\u2019s going to end up being what they call user- pay,\u201d he said.According to Barnett, the government should concentrate on making people aware of existing legislation which requires that all handguns be

Sherbrooke will be doing major renovations to the Jacques Cartier bridge this summer, despite concerns it will cause traffic headaches during the Quebec Summer games.Municipal councillors voted Monday night to sign a deal with Transport Quebec which would see the bridge completely closed .Bdsm da ied ; Sd between July and the middle of November.One lane will be open for pedestrians, emergency vehicles and public buses.The project is expected to cost $1.4 million.The closing of the bridge, built in 1954, will pose problems for organizers of the Quebec Games, being held in Sherbrooke for the first time.The University of Sherbrooke\u2019s West End campus, located across the river from most of the city, will be one of the main sites of the competition.The bridge is an important artery for the city, with 24,000 vehicles crossing it daily.The city of Sherbrooke will also contribute to the project, setting aside $445,000 to rebuild Jacques Cartier St.between Wiggett St.and the bridge.Quebec Games president Martin Bureau says the bridge is extremely important to the summer games.He added that since the bridge is not dangerous to use, town officials should move to delay repairs for another year.Sherbrooke\u2019s Jacques Cartier bridge will be getting a $1.4 million facelift this summer despite concerns it will interfere with the Quebec games.RECORD: GRANT SIMEON are

PROOF OF YOUR LOVE TO DISABLED CHILDREN TAY EASTER » SEALS 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Wednesday, March 8, 1995 the The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Self-respecting criminals won\u2019t bother with C-86 The drawbacks to Justice Minister Allan Rock\u2019s proposed gun control law are obvious \u2014 it won\u2019t work.As many rural Canadians and gun- owning Townshippers can plainly see Bill C-68, if passed by parliament, will only succeed in introducing law-abiding citzens to more bureaucratic hassles than they already put up with.Despite Rock\u2019s current initiative, gun- control is not a new concept in Canada.We already have strong restrictions on the ownership and aquisition of firearms; restrictions which are rightfully supported by the vast majority of the country.It takes about a year before the average citizen can legally buy a handgun.Prospective owners mus: be a members of a target shooting club and have their background thoroughly researched before being given permission to buy a pistol.A permit is then issued which only allows the owner to transport the weapon between a locked storage space at home and the shooting range.How many self-respecting criminals are going to bother?The rest of us will register our guns at great cost to the public purse and little benefit to the public good.Unfortunately, Canadians have little knowledge of gun control legislation as it currently exists.Few Townshippers know that they are breaking the law by storing their old hunting rifle under the bed next to a box of shells.Government money would be much better spent educating the public about proper gun storage and safety than by creating another level of bureaucracy to register the millions of legal shotguns and \u2018riffes owned by honest citizens.= -Canadiansgre close enough to the United Statés to see the pernicious effect handguns have had on the day-to-day life of millions of Americans.We see the slaughter and, on the whole, deplore the fanatical rantings of the American pro- gun lobby led by the National Rifle Association.The mind-numbing horror of the massacre at the Ecole Polytechnique has made us particularly sensitive to firearms.We desperately want to avoid the gun-crazy American scenario at all costs.But Bill C-68 isn\u2019t the way to do it.The overwhelming power of U.S.TV programming must not outweigh the facts and influence legislation passed by Parlaiment.Canadian-owned, legally registered handguns are involved in miniscule number of murders and violent crime involving firearms is at a 15 year low.Canadians want a safer, saner environment in which to live.Threatening us with a criminal record if we don\u2019t register our hunting guns won't help.ROY MACLAREN Letter to the Editor

spending or cashing in.Others just like to hear it clink in their piggy banks.Either way, Canadians have built up a hoard of 10 billion of the copper coins in cupboards, drawers and desktops.And the Royal Canadian Mint has been trying to figure out how to get them back into circulation.But there's no easy way, says a 1994 study commissioned by the mint and obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act.HDeveloping a single strategy for persuading people to circulate one cent coins would be very difficult.\u201d says the report by Marketing and Research Counselors of Canada Inc.The reserach company asked Canadians about the penny during May and June 1993 and in some cases, the resarchers even counted the coins in respondent\u2019s piggy banks.THROWN OUT About 41 per cent of Canadians surveyed wouldn't care if the penny was scrapped and 10 per cent even toss them out in the trash.The study also found another 37 per cent would miss the copper if it disappeared.In Monday\u2019s federal budget, the .government annouced it will mint a new $2 coin to replace the $2 paper bill.The report lists a number of options for dealing with the penny problem: \u2014 Scapping the penny.\u2014 Advertising to promote penny use.\u2014 Educating people on need to circulate the penny.\u2014 Supplying reusable plastic rollers for penniers.\u2014 Providing automatic coin counting machines.\u2014 Paying a premium to cash in pennies.The vast hoards of pennies forces the mint to strike 700 million pennies a year to keep cash register drawers full at a loss for every penny it makes.COSTS MORE It costs a cent a and halfin metal, labor and distribution to make a one-cent piece.The one cent pieces currently sitting in Canadian homes would be equal to 14 years of penny production by the mint.HOngoing demand for one cent coins requires the Royal Canadian Mint to keep producing them, even thought the cost to manufacture them exceeds their face value,\u201d says the report.Public Works Minister Dave Dingwall, minister responsible for the mint, has said the government is open to getting rid of the penny as a cost saving measure.The survey of 1,046 Canadians was conducted in May and June of 1993 and is considered accuate to within plus or minus 3.2 percentage points 19 times in 20.Today in history By The Canadian Press A lengthy battle over offshore resources

largest feminist group hits the headlines only when there's conflict.And there's been plenty of that.The fissures first appeared in 1992, when the National Action Committee on the Status of Women withdrew its support from two high-priced government investigations: one a royal commission into new reproductive technologies, the other a panel on violence against women.NAC had lobbied long and hard for both.For it to walk out because it felt the former was on the wrong ideological track and the latter unrepresentative of female diversity (only one member of a minority on the panel) didn't quite cut it with a lot of feminist mainstream women.Crucial issues were finally, if imperfectly, being addressed, and NAC takes a walk?Most women, whether active or passive as feminists, actual members of the organization or not, had shared NAC\u2019s goals since it set up as an equal rights lobby in 1971.By the \u201990s, it had the numbers \u2014 600 groups representing three million women (it never claimed to speak for all women) \u2014 but did it have the maturity to survive Stage 2 of equal rights?Some wondered if NAC was fated to implode as it felt its way through the toughest feminist issue of the decade \u2014 inclusion: the acknowledgment that white women can no longer speak for all women, that they must share the Hpower\u201d or risk the charge of racism.When Sunera Thobani assumed the presidency in 1993, she laid down her political gauntlet: yes, gains had been made in the preceding 20 years, but they\u2019d only benefited a tminority\u201d of women \u2014 in fact, the white, middle-class majori- ;y \u2014 and not by any stretch all vomer.NAC had to forge ahead under ihe leadership of the most margina- ized women in society,\u201d she said.Last summer, a NAC official greetea the otherwise widely applauded news that a woman had 2een appointed president of General Motors with a flippant: HShe\u2019s white, isn\u2019t she?Skin color brings privileges.\u201d At that point, the split between where NAC was in terms of feminist ideology and where the average Canadian woman was seemed eye-rollingly clear.NAC\u2019s most recent spate of unwelcome publicity has centred on its rejection of a book-selling deal with Random House of Canada.The deal would have seen NAC offering its members a catalogue of 40 books from the publisher's bac- klist of prominent female authors.More significantly, it would have seen NAC putting its imprint on new books, the first of which was to be the paperback version of Judy Steed\u2019s disturbing examination of child sexual abuse, Our Little Secret.NAC would sell the book for the $16 list price but buy it for $5, a 68 per cent discount.Unsold books could be returned to Random House without penalty.HHIts a priority that we stabilize our financial situation, and I thought this was a good deal,\u201d Tho- bani says.That\u2019s not the way some on NAC'\u2019s 25-person executive saw it at its January meeting.There were various objections, but the coup de grace was the charge \u2014 by two of the women on the executive, Shelagh Day and Laura Sky \u2014 that Our Little Secret was homophobic.Homophobic, at least in the sense that they felt it perpetuated the stereotype that gay sexuality is Hsoft\u201d on child sexual abuse.The debate was long and intense, but in the end the group voted overwhelmingly against the deal.It has been Day, a lesbian activist (since resigned from NAC for unconnected work reasons), who's taken most of the flak for the outcome.Unfair, she says.She had financial concerns about the deal even before she read Steed\u2019s book, and never knew until after the fact that Random House would take back unsold copies.Gail Picco, NAC\u2019s longtime fund- raising consultant who negotiated the deal, was so disgusted by the group's action that she resigned.BWhat happened here,\u201d says Pic- co, was the lesbian caucus saying tWe're lesbians, and if we say it's homophobic, it is.My oppression is worse than yours.\u201d Everyone's got a different piece of identity at NAC, and it\u2019s preventing them from coming together for collective action.\u201d A day in th a- RECORD PHOTOS: GRANT SIMEON ADS recycles trash ACES shows its thanks to teachers into arts and crafts Mme Lefrançois, our French teacher, with grades 3 and 4

PILOT SESSION There is a common feeling among the Anglophone community that there are insufficient programs and services avaiable to them that offer advancement in their jub or career.There are such services available.Research, however, has shown that Anglophones have not been using the English servires and programs provided by the SQDM and HRDC, simply because vey are not aware of them.Recently,

how these people could be reached, and who would be avaiable to provide the neccessary help.The committee focused on the Richmond area, as it has the highest levels of unemployment as well as people on social assistance.HRDC and SQDM services are available in the form of financial help and special programs offered at ETTI, ETSB, Champlain College, Bishop\u2019s University, and elsewhere in the

beer drinkers were toasting the arrival of spring Last week with their first sips of the \u201cMauch beers\u201d that brewers put on sale in cafes around the country, continuing a 600-year-old seasunal rite.In wine-steeped France, tasting the \u201cbieres de mars\u201d (March beers) on the first day of the month, the medieval new year in this part of the world, may come a distant second to the annual arrival of Beaujolais Nouveau red wine in November.But in the beer-drinking regions of the north and east, along the Belgian and German borders, the accompanying revels are taken just as seriously.The beers are light ales made with the pick of the summer barley and autumn hop harvests and slowly fermented in the natural chill of the north European winter.Standards are controlled by the French Brewers Association, which has revived a tradition it traces back to 1394.Some 17 leading and smaller brewers, better known for their sharp lagers and sweeter dark beers, have produced versions this year.about $30,000.Temple\u2019s greenhouse is much smaller than Nekechuk\u2019s but no less inviting.Now a member of the Master Gardener group, Temple grew up on a farm and always dreamed of having her own greenhouse.That dream became reality after the birth of her first child 16 years ago.\u201cWhen I stayed home, I thought I would have to have a greenhouse or I'd go

Farm and Business The RECORD\u2014 Wednesday, March 8, 1995\u20147 Hecord Paul Martin\u2019s budget truckles to bankers Liberals By Gwen Dambrofsky EDMONTON (CP) \u2014 Canadians are beginning to realize the federal Liberals are little more than sheep in Ralph Klein\u2019s clothing, the president of the Canadian Labor Congress suggested Monday.Bob White said Finance Minister Paul Martin's recent budget too closely emulated the Alberta Conservative government\u2019s program of reducing its deficit by hacking at social programs.\u201cWe are most troubled by the direction Paul Martin has taken,\u201d White told about 500 look like Alberta Tories, labor leader says sympathizers at a meeting sponsored by the Alberta Federation of Labor.\u201cThere doesn\u2019t seem to be all that big a difference between Mr.Martin and Mr.Klein's willingness to attack the social safety net in the name of deficit reduction.This is particularly troublesome and depressing because a little more than a year ago, Canadians voted for a change of direction at the federal level.\u201d White's impassioned speech before the partisan crowd had all the markings of a pep rally.The crowd was on its feet before he took the stage, and again after, Import quotas could change Aussies look for beef deal with Canada CANBERRA (CP) \u2014 The Australian beef industry hopes Canadian Trade Minister Roy MacLaren\u2019s visit may provide a resolution to the long-running dispute over restrictive Canadian quotas on meat imports.The industry wants MacLaren to set a country quota for Australia, giving the domestic industry a guaranteed slice of the market worth hundreds of millions of dollars a year.Australian Associated Press quotes sources as saying MacLa- ren may agree to a country quota Job Offers

ministers in Canberra.Canada restricts total tariff- free beef imports to 76,000 metric tonnes a year, but has not allocated a quota within that amount to Australia, despite doing so for New Zealand.Australian beef exports to Canada had climbed from almost $107 million Cdn in 1989-90 to $245 million Cdn in 1992-93 as they serenaded him with a union song.Throughout his remarks people hooted and cheered, especially when White delivered a wickedly accurate imitation of Reform leader Preston Manning\u2019s distinctively nasal speaking voice.Even before White took the podium, there was a nostalgically collegiate moment \u2014 Alberta federation president Linda Kar- powich asked workers to remember the anti-war movement of the Sixties, and suggested they fight Klein like protesters then fought Richard Nixon.before the imposition of the quota, dropping to $155 million Cdn the following year.Domestic industry sources said an Australian country quota of 42,000 metric tonnes would be justified on past sales performances.The lack of a country quota means Australian exporters must compete with all other countries for a slice of the remaining tariff-free imports, which \"Australia and Canadian proces- sers argue is too low to allow reasonable competition.White acknowledged there are those who admire Klein and support his approach of cutting spending rather than raising taxes.\u201cIt is, of course, no coincidence that most of the people outside Alberta who tell us that Ralph Klein is a hero have nothing to fear from the loss of social programs and public services because they have incomes which allow them to buy what they need in the marketplace.\u201d He disdainfully suggested Klein and Martin are \u201crunning neck-and-neck as the most popular leaders on Bay Street\u201d and The quota was originally instituted two years ago by the Canadian International Tariff Tribunal after complaints from Canadian beef producers that they were being hurt by cheap beef imports, and upheld despite a court challenge from the Australian Meat and Livestock Corporation.The Canadian government has announced several it supplementary import licences\u201d to bring the total allowed imports up to 111,000 metric tonnes.Bombardier profits grow in \u201894 MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Manufacturing giant Bombardier Inc.today announced its profits for the year ended Jan.31 grew by 38 per cent, to $242 million, compared with $175.6 million a year ago.Consolidated revenues totalled $5.9 billion, compared with $4.8 billion for the previous year, an increase of 23 per cent, as sales increased especially for aircraft, snowmobiles and watercraft.For the fourth quarter, net income stood at $77.1 million, compared with $57.7 million a year By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Consumer and business interest rates are jumping by half a percentage point to a two-year high today after the Bank of Canada struggled to bolster the battered dollar.The dollar has been trampled during the last week in a stampede out of North Amercian currencies in what some traders have called a \u201cpanic.\u201d Tim O'Neill, chief economist at Bank of Montreal, said there are several reasons for the shift out of U.S.and Canadian dollars.But he said it has been way Westray charges unfair: Official By Stephen Thorne PICTOU, N.S.(CP) \u2014 The man who won his company so much public favor three years ago delivered some of the most damning testimony yet heard at the manslaughter trial of two Westray mine managers.But Colin Benner was not happy to do it.He called the criminal proceedings \u201cextremely drastic.\u201d \u201cI think the charges against these men are unfair,\u201d Benner said after concluding his testimony Tuesday.\u201cThere\u2019s a public process that should have taken overdone and he expects a cor rection soon that will stabilize the dollar and bring down rates before there\u2019s much damage to the economy.\u201cThere is a bit of a pack or herd mentality going on here,\u201d he said.The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce led major banks Tuesday announcing that the prime lending rate will climb to a two-year high of 9.75 per cent effective today, up from 9.25 per cent.That followed a Bank of Canada boost of its key bank rate by more than half a percentage point to a two-year high of 8.60 per cent to defend the dollar.place to determine what the cause of the accident was.\u201cIt\u2019s three years later and the cause still isn\u2019t known.That's a concern.\u201d In the days following the disaster, Benner was in the hot- seat as the company\u2019s main spokesman.His soothing, calm updates on the grim search for missing miners were televised across North America.Mine manager Gerald Phillips and underground boss Roger Parry face charges of manslaughter and criminal negligence causing 26 miners\u2019 deaths.BUDGET 1995 earlier.Revenues for the quarter reached $2.3 billion compared with $1.5 billion for the quarter ended Jan 31, 1994, Laurent Beaudoin, chairman and chief executive, said the corporation showed improved revenues in all of its activities, especially in aerospace and motorized consumer products.Beaudoin said the company is \u201cwell positioned to pursue its growth during the present fiscal year.\u201d Bank and prime rates move up * In November 1992, most banks temporarily raised their primes to 9.75 per cent from 9.0 per cent.The Royal Bank and Bank of Montreal held at 9.0 per cent.The Canadian dollar, which has fallen more than a full cent since the middle of last week, opened at 70.41 cents US Tues- - day, down 0.17 cent.À week ago, the dollar was trading at more than 72 cents US.The rise in the bank rate from 8.02 per cent brought the benchmark rate to its highest point since November 1992 during the turmoil over the failed Charlottetown accord.The prosecution alleges the two were directly responsible for problems that contributed to the disaster, including lack of ventilation, high levels of flammable methane gas and explosive coal dust, and unauthorized alterations to safety equipment that permitted work in such unsafe conditions.Lawyers from both sides met Tuesday for nearly half an hour before Justice David Anderson granted them a recess until Thursday afternoon.The trial is scheduled to take a two-week break after Thursday\u2019s brief session.chided the latter for making a post-budget visit to Wall Street.\u201cHe hasn\u2019t gone out to see unemployed workers or gone to visit a food bank,\u201d White complained.\u201cAnd the Liberals didn\u2019t campaign on a platform of gutting social programs.\u201d As for Klein, White said workers across Canada must fight hard to counter the perception that his programs are not only popular, but successful.\u201c(We must) demonstrate the experiment here is a failure, that it is morally wrong, that it is socially destructive, that it is economically irrational.\u201d Since Klein became premier in 1992, his Conservative government has cut spending by $1.9 billion and plans to cut another $478 million by the end of 1995-96.The plan has resulted in more than 80,000 people being pushed off Alberta\u2019s welfare rolls and 6,600 public-sector jobs being chopped by the end of 1995-96.White said the labor congress believes deficits can be dealt with more effectively through lower interest rates and a growing economy that generates more jobs and more revenue.Income tax hikes ruled out as deficit measure MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 Finance Minister Paul Martin has again said he will not increase personal income taxes in his bid to wipe out the country\u2019s deficit.Asked in an interview in today\u2019s Montreal La Presse whether it is possible to eliminate the deficit \u2018without targeting personal income tax, Martin replied: \u201cThe answer is yes.\u201cI really wouldnt want to touch personal taxes, not in an economy that wants to create jobs.It would cost more than it might bring in.\u201d Martin said such tax increases in future budgets would have a very negative impact on growth and interest rates.But he reiterated previous comments that the government will take aim at several areas, including unemployment insurance and transfer payments, to improve its finances.Martin also had some words of warning for Ontario Premier Bob Rae, who has complained that his province was burdened with most of the new spending cuts announced in last week\u2019s budget.\u201cBob Rae is conducting his campaign against the budget but it won\u2019t work,\u201d Martin said.Martin is currently defending his budget across the country.Loan practices probed OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 The Liberals are having another go at examining how banks treat small business.The Commons industry committee has asked executives of the Big Six Canadian banks to appear as witnesses on their lending practices.Invitations have also gone to Canada Trust, Hongkong Bank and Groupe Desjardins.The committee also plans to call Bank of Canada Governor Gordon Thiessen as a witness.The same committee produced a report in October that concluded, among other things, small business should have an ombudsman to help iron out disputes with their bankers.But the committee was unable to unearth much hard data on lending practices to small business.That apparently will be the mission of this examination.Finance Minister Paul Martin said last week in the budget the government wants to work with the banks to establish benchmarks against which adequate lending to small business could be measured.Dollar still under pressure By Clyde Graham OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Finance Minister Paul Martin shrugged off the continuing plunge in the Canadian dollar today and the potential for rising interest rates.\u201cIt certainly doesn\u2019t fill me with joy, I can tell you that,\u201d said Martin on CTV\u2019s Canada AM morning show.\u201cBut we are part of an international market.\u201d The dollar, which has fallen more than a full cent since the middle of last week, opened at 70.41 cents US this morning, down 0.17 cent.A week ago, the dollar had been trading at more than 72 cents US.Analysts expect a hike in interest rates today to bolster the currency.All North American currencies have been under attack since last week and have hit record lows against the

hold meeting Atxitidry Obituary HUBERT (MIKE) CLOWERY of Coaticook, Quebec 1918 - 1995 On February 10, 1995 one of the Township\u2019s most decorated World War II veterans, Hubert (Mike) Clowery passed away suddenly at his residence in Coaticook.Mike, as he was familiarly known, was born in Coaticook on January 5, 1918, the son of William Clowery and Delia Houle.He was the fourth child of a family of seven.He received his education at the Coaticook Academy.In his mid teens, he spent two years serving as a fishing guide in Northern Quebec.Childhood friend Roger Smith would fly in American tourists and Mike would act as guide.He always had fond memories and tall tales to relate of his experiences in the wilds of Northern Quebec in the 1930's.In January of 1937 Mike joined the Reserve Army in Coati- cook.He was posted on armory guard at the outbreak of WW IL.Finding out that his unit would not be mobilized for active duty, he, together with fellow reservists Charles Leadbeater, Gustave Duhaut and Jack Brown, joined the 2nd Canadian Division in November 1939.After a short time training in Canada, he sailed for England in early 1940.Mike served in England D Day.He then saw action in France, Belgium, Holland and Germany; being wounded twice.In March of 1945, relatives and friends back home in Coati- cook saw Mike\u2019s picture in the front of the Montreal Daily Star as he and another soldier, while on reconnaissance, freed French prisoners from a forced labor camp in Germany.The picture of B.S.M.H.Clowery chatting with the prisoners that he freed near Xanten Germany was the talk of his hometown.Towards most of the late 1944 and early 1945, Mike served as a B.S.M.with the 5th Field Regiment doing reconnaissance work ahead of the main forces quiet often behind enemy lines and on several occasions capturing German soldiers.In April of 1945 Mike had the sad news that his younger brother Albert whom he had seen a few days earlier was killed in action by a sniper while advancing in Germany.Mike was honorably discharged'in December 1, 1945 and was awarded the following medals and decorations: 1939-45 Star, France and Germany Star, Defense Medal, War Medal 1939-45, Canadian Volunteer medal with clasp, Efficient Service Medal with clasp.On demobilization he returned to Coaticook and on December 26, 1946 he married his childhood sweetheart, Simone Faucher.Once established back home, Mike became a successful paint contractor known for his generosity and help to veterans.Most of his employees, who at one time numbered 16, were veterans.On December 19, 1953 Mike was bereft of his beloved Simone who died of cancer at the early age of 32 leaving three young children behind.During these difficult times Mike kept the family together and eventually he and the children went to stay with Simone\u2019s parents Wilfred and Florence Faucher.At the outbreak of the Korean conflict, Mike was again mobilized and served with the 27th Field Regiment R.C.A.Reserves as a B.S.M.from 1951 to 1956.During this time, he was awarded two more decorations: the Queen Elizabeth Commemorative Medal in 1953 and subsequently the Canadian Service Medal.Many soldiers who served under him knew him as a most professional and very regimental sergeant major.From 1953 until it closed in the late 70\u2019s, Mike was employed by J.W.Kilgour and Sons as an inspector and foreman.He also helped to establish a furniture facto- WATERLOO \u2014 The, Ladies inet or February 14 at donations made.It was approved by solicitation voted upon and reports, ry in Cornwall, Ontario.Much of Mike\u2019s leisure time was spent fishing with his son Patrick and numerous prize salmon and trout were taken from Eastern Township and Northern Vermont waters by the angling duo.Mike always managed to have that extra touch to come home with the big ones.From the early seventies until her death in November 1992, Mike was the cherished companion of Ethel Bagley.They lived in Dixville and before her illness were quite active in the community.Mike was a life member and held many offices with the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 26, in Coaticook.He served as president, vice-president, sergeant at arms and trustee.He was also known for his activities in the poppy campaign and acted as Parade Marshall for all Armistice Day ceremonies.He was also a past Master of Ashlar Masonic Lodge in Coaticook.Quite an honor was bestowed on him on June 21, 1993 when his Excellency the Right Honorable Ray Hnatyshyn, Governor General of Canada, informed Mike that he was awarded the Commemorative medal for the 125th Anniversary of Canada.The citation stated: \u201cThis award is being made to those persons who, like you, have made a significant contribution to Canada, to their community, or to their fellow Canadians.\u201d.In May of 1994, Mike and long time friend Ronald Charland, traveled to Europe for the 50th anniversary of D Day celebrations.They toured England, France, Belgium and Holland.While in France he received the Liberte Medal from the French Government for his part in the invasion of Normandy.A Masonic Service was held at Charron et Fils Funeral Home on the evening of February 13, 1995.His funeral service was held in St-Jean l\u2019Evangeliste Church on February 14, 1995.Friend, Father Denis Grenier, officiated the bilingual service.The casket was draped with the Canadian flag, his medals, Legion decorations and beret laid on a cushion and escorted by a large number of veterans led by Branch 26 Legion President and close friend Ronnie Charland.À very touching and inspiring eulogy was delivered by Rev.Stanley Beerworth.At the end of this very solemn service the Last Post and Reveille were played and the choir sang Nearer My God To Thee.Comrade Charland handed over Mike\u2019s medals to his son Patrick.Clowery hands were on the casket as it was led past an honor guard of veterans.The bearers being grandson Erin-John Clowery and nephews Kendall Clowery, Larry Clowery, Michael Clowery, Stephen Clowery and Mark Clowery.Mike was laid to rest beside his beloved Simone, on top of the hill at St-Edmond\u2019s Cemetery.Friends and relatives gathered after the funeral.Left to mourn are his son and daughter-in-law Patrick and Johanne Clowery, daughter Helen and husband Richard Gosselin and daughter Louise and husband Gerry Gaulin.Granddaughter Julie Bergeron, grandson Erin-John and his wife Melanie Clowe- ry, granddaughter Selena Clowery and grandson Philippe Gaulin.Brothers Arther (Merle) and William (Gilberte) and sister Edna (Leo Menard).Many other relatives and friends.The many flowers, donations to the Princess Elizabeth School Foundation, Fondation Villa du Bonheur, Alexander Galt Scholarship Fund, tributes and largely attended funeral all spoke of the esteem, love and respect held towards Mike by his family and numerous friends.Happy fishing.Following the committee.the St.Patrick\u2019s

strengthen their hold on first place in the Northeast Division.Alexei Gusarov scored with 58 seconds left in the third period as the Nordiques beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-4 Tuesday night.The Nordiques survived losing a 4-2 lead to improve their NHL- best point total to 35, three better than Pittsburgh.The Penguins had beaten the Nordiques in the two previous meetings.They won last Tuesday's game in Quebec 7-5 with seven goals in the second period.Faucons SHERBROOKE \u2014 The Drum- mondville Voltigeurs were just what the doctor ordered to help \u2018das \u201cWe got a little rattled at times tonight but the guys were quick to recover,\u201d Quebec coach Marc Crawford said.Quebec\u2019s poise was challenged in the third period when Pittsburgh overcame the 4-2 deficit on goals by Joe Mullen and John Cullen.Mullen scored on a power play and Cullen scored off a 2-on-1 after the puck bounced away from the Quebec defence.\u201cWe didn\u2019t get shattered by that,\u201d Crawford said.\u201cThe guys stayed calm.It's tough playing two games in two nights against two tough opponents but we found a way to win.\u201d The Nordiques beat New Jersey 6-3 at home on Monday.It was obvious that the Nordiques needed to have success against Pittsburgh.\u201cIt means a lot,\u201d said forward Claude Lapointe, who had a goal and an assist.\u201cWe talked about being solid for three periods, especially after what happened in the last game.\u201d After passes by Joe Sakic and Wendel Clark, Gusarov was alone against Ken Wregget from close range and scored his first of the season.The Penguins are on a 2-5 streak and have gone 3-6-1 since opening the season 12-0-1.\u201cThe real question is where you go from here,\u201d defenceman Larry Murphy said.\u201cWe just have to get ready for Thursday.Come in here, regroup and pull out of this.\u201d The Penguins were coming off a 2-3 road trip and that had coach Eddie Johnston worried.\u201cYou're always concerned about that first game back,\u201d he said.\u201cIf we could have come out of here with a point tonight, we would have been happy.\u201d Scott Young\u2019s two second- period goals gave Quebec a 3-2 lead.He got

skiers win giant slalom medals By David M.Martin LENNOXVILLE \u2014 The Bishop\u2019s University Ski Team flew through their fourth weekend of racing with the four-member women\u2019s team taking its best finish of the year.Andrea Nicholls and Cameron Blott finished second and third respectively on the first day of races at this weekend\u2019s giant slalom competition at Mont Gar- ceau.Annelise McRae also broke into the top five for Bishoip\u2019s in the 49-skier field.\u201cI think it was just a matter of time before both girls were on the podium,\u201d said Bishop\u2019s head coach Rob Tweedy.Tweedy said both skied well on the first day and showed consistency through the second day when Blott came fifth, Nicholls sixth and McRae eighth.\u201cAll in all it's the best result for the girls all season, they have that potential and it is where they should be,\u201d he said.The men\u2019s.side of the team also faired well on the weekend with Robert MacLennan leading the way with an 11th place- finish on day one and a ninth place on the second day of racing.\u201cRob\u2019s been our top guy all year and showed his abilities this weekend which allowed him to take fifth position overall in the circuit,\u201d Tweedy said.MacLennan was not the only one to perform well at the GS competition.Jason Penman, who had yet to finish a race this season, finished 10th overall on Saturday, but came down with the flu on Sunday and could not race.\u201cJay has had some hard times finishing this season and he put together two solid runs,\u201d Tweedy said.\u201cHopefully we\u2019ll get results like this out of him next weekend.\u201d The team will spend the next two weeks preparing for the Quebec university championships and watching the weather.With daily highs currently above zero and such little overall snowfall some are worried about the conditions, but Tweedy isn\u2019t concerned.He said Mont Orford will be ready for the Quebec University Finals March

league baseball season will probably start with replacement players.It appears increasingly likely there will be no quick deal with striking players, Brochu said after attending the opening ses- sfon of the baseball owners\u2019 annual meeting in Palm Beach, Fla.\u201cIn my opinion, it\u2019s too late,\u201d said Brochu.\u201cI expect to start the season with replacements.\u201cIt would take a miracle for it to be otherwise and I tend not to believe in miracles.\u201d No immediate negotiations are scheduled with the players, who have been on strike since last August.Replacement players, considered strikebreakers by the players\u2019 association, have been taking part in pre-season games since last week.Brochu said the owners \u201chave no new proposals to present and our strategy has not changed.\u201cAs I've already said, we took a big hit when we cancelled the end of last season and the World Series.Now, we can wait.The players think well give in because, in the past, the owners have always given in.But we've given no indication of doing that since the start of this dispute.\u201cSince the last four or five years, there are a lot of new owners,\u201d he added.\u201cIt\u2019s not the same group and we react differently.\u201d Yan paces WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.(CP) \u2014 Replacement first baseman Julian Yan hit two doubles to lead the Montreal Expos to a 4-3 victory over the Florida Marlins in pre-season baseball, on Tuesday.Yan, a Dominican who lives in: the United States, drove in a run in a three-run first inning for, Montreal against Florida starter\u2019 \u2014 and loser \u2014 Marty Clary.\u2019 The 29-year-old Yan has spent nine seasons in the minor lea-' gues \u2014 the last two with Syracuse, the Toronto Blue Jays Class\u2019 AAA affiliate.: With replacement players on - the field instead of striking major leaguers, each game is different.After a dreadful 10-6 loss to the New York Yankees\u2019 replacements on Sunday, the Expos looked much better against Florida.They even ended the game with a big-league calibre double play.For Yan, being a replacement may be his last chance to make some money from baseball.\u201cIn Syracuse, they even made me a player-coach at the end of the season,\u201d said Yan.\u201cI'm not that old and I still want to play baseball.SHERBROOKE (RL) \u2014 The Rockets competition jump rope team is taking its show on the

pay off in Waterloo Windsor foursome take home bronze from Quebec games By Robert Matheson WATERLOO \u2014 Its amazing how a bronze medal makes you forget the aches and pains caused by four straight days of curling.Angie Jones, Stéphanie Champagne, Amélie Bibeau and Marie-Christine Pruneau know that feeling after winning the bronze at the Quebec Winter Games on Tuesday.Just making it to the Quebec Games was a dream come true for the Windsor foursome, but after a shaky round robin they peaked in time for the playoffs and came painfully close to playing for the gold medal.\u201cThe goal of the season was to play in the Quebec Games and all of their efforts were focused on it,\u201d said a proud coach Marc Richard.The team surpassed its own expectations \u2014 the foursome set a sixth-place finish as their goal \u2014 with a thrilling quarter-inal win Monday night.Jones skipped her team to a 6-5 comeback victory against Marie-France Lafontaine, of Centre du Quebec.Lafontaine was leading 5-0 after four ends in that match.\u201cThat win really showed what this team was made of, to fight back like that,\u201d Richard said.The win put the team in the medal hunt and the Estrie rink almost dethroned the favorites in an exciting semifinal Tuesday morning.Saskia Hollands, of Saguenay- Lac St-Jean, picked up one point in the eighth and final end to break a 4-4 tie and move into the gold-medal game.Hollands only needed four ends in the final to beat Virginie Lessard, of Laval.\u201cIt feels good that we lost to the gold medallists by only a rock,\u201d said Jones, a student at Richmond Regional High School, who was nursing a sore left hand from sweeping too hard.Richard said the Estrie team played a great semifinal match, but the Saguenay-Lac St-Jean team was just a little bit better on Tuesday.The match was up for grabs until the last rock and for awhile Jones looked like she was going to repeat her 5-4 round robin victory against Hollands.The Windsor foursome

in the bronze-medal game.Jones stole two points in the second and third ends and stole another three in the fifth en route to a 10-0 win in six ends against Julie Thibault, of Mauricie.\u201cIt\u2019s inexplicable.We didn\u2019t miss any shots and we had the right weight the whole time,\u201d said Champagne, also a student a Estrie ringette team wins bronze in By Robert Matheson GRANBY \u2014 Ringette players better beware at the 1997 Quebec Winter Games, because by then Estrie will be a region to be reckoned with.The Estrie team served notice by winning the Pool B bronze medal 4-2 against Richelieu- Yamaska on Tuesday to cap the region's first venture into the ringette tournament.\u201cIt\u2019s fantastic to get the bronze medal the first time we've sent a team to the Quebec Games,\u201d said head coach Michel Roy.The players celebrated by hoisting goaltender Nancy Morin into the air and popping open some bubbly in a jubilant locker room after the game.Roy expects an even bigger celebration in two vears when the majority of his team will still be eligible to play in the games.Eleven of Estrie\u2019s 16 players are bantam \u2014 12-13 year olds \u2014 although the competition was open to 14-15 year old juniors.\u201cThe majority are playing their first year, next time we'll have 11 players who have already played in the Quebec Games,\u201d Roy said.\u201cThe experience will be really helpful in two years.\u201d Next time the team will be without Marie-Josée Coté, of Magog, who scored two goals and created havoc on the ice throughout the game.It will also be without Josée Coté and Angie Paquin who had the other goals.But there is plenty of up-and- coming talent to fill her skates.All of the players come from the Bromptonville Ringette Association, the only organized program in the region, and president Robert Forget is considering developing programs for 10-11 year olds and eight-nine year olds.\u201cWe'll take any one who's interested,\u201d he said.The sport is definitely popular in Bromptonville, home to 12 of the team\u2019s 16 players.Forget would like to see it expand to the rest of the region and maybe Tuesday\u2019s triumph will help spread the word.BAD START Estrie started the morning with a 6-2 loss to Abitibi- Témiscamingue in the semifinal \u2014 the team\u2019s only loss in the tournament \u2014 before meeting Richelieu-Yamaska for the bronze medal.Marie-Josée Coté opened the scoring with a goal 2:30 into the opening half, while Estrie was killing one of 11 penalties it was issued in the game.Marie-Josée put Estrie in front 2-0, beating Richelieu- Yamaska goalie Valérie Chaussé while both teams had one player in the penalty box.Josée Côté extended Estrie\u2019s lead to 3-0 late in the first half.She neatly stickhandled the ring in front of the Richelieu- Yamaska goal and faked a pass before scoring the power-play goal.Richelieu-Yamaska mounted a comeback attempt in the second half, starting with
