and the rest of Canada including disputes over territory and the collection of taxes.But Bouchard said the Quebec government will be under a strong obligation to at least attempt to successfully conclude an association with the rest of Canada.See STRATEGY Page 2 \u2018They don\u2019t have the guts.\u2019 Separatists unrealistic on Canada \u2014 Chrétien By Bob Cox OTTAWA (CP) \u2014 Quebe-

Chrétien.\u201cIt\u2019s a mirage,\u201d Chrétien said Monday after the Parti Québécois, Bloc Québécois and Action Démocratique du Québec formally agreed to a pact that would see an independent Quebec offer association with the rest of Canada.\u201cIt\u2019s still a proposition for separation, but they don\u2019t have the guts to say that they are separatists.\u201d The new alliance has raised

MONTREAL (CP) \u2014 A 13-year-old boy was charged Monday with stabbing his mother after she pestered him to clean his room and not watch so much television.Police said the boy, armed with a kitchen knife, entered his mother\u2019s bedroom while she was sleeping and stabbed her in the neck shortly before midnight Sunday.The 43-year-old woman woke up and fought her son off by trying to grab the knife from his hands, said police in the south shore bedroom community of Greenfield Park where the incident occurred.\u201cShe must have been trying to grab the blade because she had cuts on her hand,\u201d said police spokesman Pierre Giroux.After the stabbing, the boy ran out of the house, leaving his mother bleeding profusely.She called 911 screaming for help and was taken to hospital where she was reported in satisfactory condition.\u201cApparently, the boy got fed up with being asked to do chores around the house,\u201d Giroux said.\u201cIt doesn\u2019t make sense, but that's the most plausible motive for the stabbing for the time being.\u201d Giroux said the boy wandered the streets all night in his bare feet and was arrested when he returned home Monday at about 8 a.m.by a police officer guarding the crime scene.The teen, who pleaded not guilty to attempted murder, will remain in custody until his bail hearing tomorrow.Police said the boy had never been arrested before.A high-school student, he was in exam crunch time.STRATEGY: Continued from page one Parizeau and Liberal Leader Daniel Johnson hammered each other over the new referendum strategy.Johnson, calling the strategy \u201cbogus,\u201d described Parizeau as the leader of the camp of rupture and demolition.He said the offer of economic and political association between an independent Quebec and the rest of Canada is only camouflage for Parizeau\u2019s hardline separatist option.\u201cTo vote Yes to whatever question flows out of this agreement will assure the political separation of Quebec from the rest of Canada,\u201d Johnson said in the National Assembly.\u201cIf the negotiations go well CHRETIEN: Continued from page one \u201cIf federalists don\u2019t put forward soon any new proposals or alternatives, the PQ has, as of now, equal chances to win or to lose the referendum,\u201d said Montreal pollster Jean-Marc Leger.But Chrétien stuck to a message he has been refining and hardening: the only thing the sovereignty movement can offer Quebecers for sure is separation from Canada \u2014 any future association is a big maybe.\u201cThey want to separate and they don\u2019t dare say it to Quebecers because Quebe- cers don\u2019t want separation,\u201d said Chrétien.\u201cI'm very disappointed that they don\u2019t have the guts or the intellectual honesty to tell Quebecers what they want to do.\u201d The pact signed Monday would see an independent Quebec spend a year trying to negotiate an accord with the rest of Canada, then going it alone if nothing worked out.Quebec would offer several joint institutions, including a cabinet with equal numbers of Quebec and Canadian ministers.Lucienne Robillard, the federal referendum minister, scoffed at the idea that the rest of Canada would give Quebec an equal say.\u201cCan you imagine all the other provinces would give CHAREST: Continued from page one sions in Halifax.\u201d Charest said at a news conference he was told during a briefing Friday that Canada has decided to contribute to the rapid reaction group proposed by Britain and France.The Netherlands has also indicated it will provide a small number of troops.Charest said Canada would send 65 members of the Royal 22nd Regiment from Quebec City aboard 12 vehicles equipped with anti-tank rockets.These soldiers are already in Inside Bosnia and would shift roles to act as an anti-armor platoon under the new plan.A Defence Department source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that is an option under study.Charest said the government had decided on the small contribution, but didn\u2019t want the idea debated in the Commons.Defence Minister David Col- lenette said Charest attended the same briefing as Reform and Bloc Québécois MPs, but came away with a different interpretation.\u201cYou should ask him why he feels that a certain interpretation was given only for his benefit and why the other parties haven't raised that in the House,\u201d Collenette said.Canada was initially cool to participating in the reaction force, which could include up to 10,900 soliders, the vast majority of them British and French.Among the aims of the force would be preventing hostage- takings of UN personnel, opening routes for relief supplies and deterring ceasefire violations.Doonesbury Ann LanderS

winning the referendum if the federal government doesn\u2019t offer any new powers to the province, says pollster Leger.Leger said Canadians outside Quebec should not be put to sleep by polls suggesting Quebecers would reject separation.Leger\u2019s own.polling suggested recently that 44 per cent of Quebecers would vote for sovereignty.He predicted that 47 per cent of Quebecers will vote

are hoping Dumont\u2019s small party and its base of soft nationalists will spell the difference between a Yes and a No in the referendum promised for the fall.Dumont\u2019s party won only 6.5 per cent of the vote in last September\u2019s election while the PQ and the Liberals each received just over 44 per cent.But recent polls suggest the Action Démocratique\u2019s support has doubled \u2014 and then some.Much of the new support has come at the expense of the Liberals, whose Leader Johnson has pursued the curious strategy of marginalizing the soft nationalists in his party, leaving room for only the most fervent federalists.As Bouchard put it Sunday: \u201cMr.Johnson's problem is that now Mr.Dumont embodies, far more than he, the great Liberal tradition in Quebec.\u201d And now that Dumont has quit flitting between sovereignty and federalism and thrown in his lot with Parizeau and Bouchard, Johnson may regret his hardline federalism.WEATHER Clear overnight skies give way to

The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, June 13, 1995\u20143 The Townships Store owners must pick up tab for court Georgeville road spat ends in victory for town By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE \u2014 The municipality of Stanstead Township has won its court battle to take possession of a stretch of road in front of the Georgeville General Store.But the owners of the store, Laurent Thibault and Marie Albert maintain that they purchased the land when they bought the store and are planning to appeal the decision by Superior Court Justice Jean- Louis Péloquin.After more than two years of legal manoeuvering and a court case that lasted three days in May, Justice Péloquin decided the disputed land belongs to the municipality, which claimed ownership by prescription.The municipality argued that the road had been used and maintained by the public for more than 30 years, giving Stanstead Township right of ownership.According to Quebec\u2019s Civil Code, for the purpose of prescription, the possession of land must be \u201ccontinuous, peaceable, public and unequivocal.\u201d BATTLE LINES DRAWN The municipality decided to apply to the courts for official ownership after an attempt by Transport Quebec to paint the median line down the centre of the street two years ago was blocked by the store owners.In his 32-page judgment, released June 6, Justice Péloquin ordered the owners to desist from their efforts to reclaim the property by blacking out yellow lines in the middle of the street and by painting parking spaces in front of the store.He also ordered them to pay court costs and fees for the expertise of aerial photographer Leo Provencher, who testified on behalf of the municipality.The court heard from a number of other witnesses, including historical experts, a Transport Quebec official and a number of snow-removal contractors for both the city and the owners of the General Store.Thibeault reacted angrily to the decision, saying the judge wasted taxpayers money and Brother wants closed court Public banned from murder trial SHERBROOKE (RL) \u2014 Local media outlets will get delayed access to testimony of Camille Noél in the murder trial of his brother Serge, which has been underway at the Sherbrooke courthouse for the past five weeks.Both Noël brothers are accused in the murder of nine-year- old Eric Arpin, a Magog boy whose body was found in a pedestrian tunnel last December.Serge Noël, 43, is currently being tried.Camille Noël, 34, who is awaiting the outcome of Jason Pierce struck down by motorist his preliminary hearing, was called upon to testify last week.On Friday morning, Judge Raynald Fréchette ordered the public and media excluded from hearing further testimony by the younger Noël who, after 2% days of answering questions from the Crown, refused to continue testifying in open court.On Monday, a lawyer for La Tribune, CHLT Radio, Télé-7, and CKSH failed to get the judge to reverse his decision to hear the testimony.Citing guarantees of free- / /

Rights and Freedoms, lawyer Martin Gauthier argued that reporters should at least have access to the tapes of Noél\u2019s testimony.Judge Fréchette promised his ban would be lifted retroactively once Camille Noél\u2019s testimony is over.At that point reporters will have access to the court tapes and transcripts of the in-camera testimony.Lawyer\u2019s arguments and the judge\u2019s reasoning

following the tragic Tage ave 1 Jason Pierce me Drinking and Driving weekend death of 14-year old Jason Pierce.The teenager\u2019s friends watched in horror as the young teen was struck by a car in front of Marcoux\u2019s garage on Main Street and hurled some 150 ft.in the air, just after midnight Saturday.Scott Coté, driver of the vehicle, was charged in court in Cowansville Monday with impaired and dangerous driving.The 25-year-old was released on bail without deposit and is to re-appear Friday to answer to the charges.Lucie Joncas who represented Coté in court Friday, said her client\u2019s blood-alcohol level was just slightly over the legal limit.Coté\u2019s lawyer Tom Walsh said the death appears to be a clear and tragic accident.\u201cIt happened around midnight with limited visibility, and from what I understand the young boy was in the middle of the road.\u201d 1 A Witnesses said Pierce and several others had crossed the street to speak with friends in a parked car and were going back when they heard an approaching car.As the others darted across the street to avoid the oncoming car, Pierce apparently froze momentarily and was struck.Mansonville resident Murielle Parkes said the community is dealing with incredible grief.\u201cThis tragedy touches an enormous number of people and is tragic for both families.I just don\u2019t know how much more the community can take,\u201d said Youth coordinator Mabel Hastings, who has been working with young people in the community for several years on anti-drinking and driving campaigns.\u201c] feel defeated.This is the second young person we've lost in a month,\u201d she said.\u201cRight now I'm not sure if we're all going to be able to pull together to get through this,\u201d {PERIOD she said.She said Pierce\u2019s closest friend, Nathaniel Coté is devastated by the loss.Parents, educators, and youths from the community packed he church Sunday for a memorial service to grieve the loss of the young boy.Pierce\u2019s body was brought by his parents Heather Pierce and Michael Baxter to Nova Scotia for burial.The 100 young people at the memorial service wore carnations, which were later placed on the young boy\u2019s front porch.\u201cI told the kids in youth group, since Jason isn\u2019t buried here, they should place the bouquets of roses brought to the church at one of his favorite places,\u201d said Hastings.The red roses were hung from the basketball hoop behind the French school where Jason and his friend Nathaniel spent much of their free time.Hastings described Pierce as an energetic boy who loved school theatre, especially /\\ Y/ centre stage.\u201cIn one play he had three parts,\u201d Hastings said.\u201cHe could take a part that nobody else wanted, like Mrs.Drysda- le in the Beverly Hillbillies, and turn it into the highlight of the show.\u201d Hastings said on one occasion, Pierce was so caught up in the laughter he evoked from the audience, he didn\u2019t want to leave the stage.\u201cWe had to go on stage and drag him off,\u201d she said.Hastings said Pierce had admitted he didn\u2019t like school much, but he loved to be around people.His death comes just as classmates are writing final exams, and many in the close-knit community say the impact of the tragedy will no doubt be reflected in exam results.Massey-Vanier High School counsellors are working with the young people to help them deal with the loss, and many of the school\u2019s staff attended Sunday\u2019s memorial service.SOCIÉTÉ DE L'ASSURANCE AUTOMOBILE DU QUEBEC Recor The Townships 4\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, June 13, 1995 Federalists not fazed by coalition Three-way Yes pact could crumble, Benoit Says By Maurice Crossfield SHERBROOKE \u2014 Orford MNA Robert Benoit says the new pro-sovereignty alliance of political parties comes as no surprise, but he doesn\u2019t expect it to last.\u201cThere is no surprise for me or the Liberal Party or anyone else in Quebec for that matter,\u201d Benoit said in a telephone interview from Quebec City Monday.\u201cIf you had asked me a year ago I could have told you what was going to happen.\u201d Last Friday, Parti Québécois leader Jacques Parizeau, Bloc Québécois leader Lucien Bou- chard and Action Démocratique leader Mario Dumont announced they would form a three-party coalition in the referendum campaign for Quebec sovereignty.But according to Benoit, the alliance may be doomed from the start.With a history of disagreements between Bou- chard and Parizeau, \u201cit\u2019s hard to see how they will manage to work together,\u201d said Benoit.The appointment of Action Démocratique co-founder, Jean Allaire, to a committee charged with overseeing future negotiations with Canada, suggests Bouchard and Dumont want to keep a close eye on the premier, Benoit added.The three-way alliance has been interpreted as a strategy to woo the so-called soft nationalists, people unhappy with the status quo but uncomfortable with the PQ\u2019s more hard line policies, to support the Yes option in the referendum.Under the agreement, ratified last weekend, the parties agree to fight for a Yes vote in the referendum, then, if victorious, offer to negotiate with the rest of Canada for a new economic and political partnership.If a year of negotiations following a Yes vote failed to produce a new agreement wiht Ottawa, the parties would support a unilateral declaration of sovereignty.Employment centre would lose responsibility Job counsellors in Cowansville may get the axe By Sharon McCully COWANSVILLE \u2014 Thirty employees of the Canada Employment Centre in Cowansville will learn in the coming days whether they should begin packing their bags and putting up For Sale signs on their lawns.\u201cThere is a feeling of uncertainty among the employees because nobody is sure what to expect,\u201d said CEC director Michel Morin.Morin said since Finance Minister Paul Martin's February budget announcing changes to the Unemployment Insurance program, employees at the employment centre have been waiting for the other shoe to drop.It\u2019s expected staff at employment centres in Quebec will be reduced from 7,000 to 4,500.Centres in Granby, Cowansvil- le, Magog, and St.Jean could become front-line service centres, while responsibility for job-training programs are shifted to Longueuil or Ste.Hyacinthe.\u201cWe expect most services will be consolidated in larger centres with small centres offering only front-line services,\u201d Morin said.The entire second floor of the federal building, which includes the post office, was renovated to accomodate the Canada Employment Centre less than two years ago.\u201cI don\u2019t expect the Cowans- ville office will close completely but we could be seven or eight employees offering just front- line services instead of 30,\u201d Morin told the Record.Morin said many employees at the employment office have been with the federal government department for many years and are well established 4 Richmond best in Quebec in the area.\u201cNobody knows where we will be in the future,\u201d Morin said.While the Cowansville

leader Daniel Johnson are in regular contact with one another.\u201cThey have been together all along,\u201d Benoit said.He added that No forces leader Michel Bélanger has been hard at work preparing

Inuit, called Venne\u2019s comments \u201chypocritical\u201d and \u201cracist.\u201d Venne told the House she didn\u2019t understand what Ana- wak was saying when he spoke Inuktitut because there was no translation.\u201cI'd like to know if we must continue to listen.As far as I know, this does not constitute one of the official languages,\u201d she said.Anawak, who represents Eastern Arctic, retorted that Venne\u2019s comments insult address, were excessive and deliberate, Picard said.And there is no evidence the techniques violated standard police procedures and caused Barnabé\u2019s current condition.\u201cDid Bergeron act in good faith and as he should in doing ajob that was dirty, or did he do a dirty job?\u201d Picard said.He said the prosecution was painting the accused as a Rambo-like exacter of justice for the crazy high-speed chase Barnabé led police on before his Canadians.\u201cThe Inuktitut language is 4,000 years old in Canada and the English and French languages are mere hundreds of years old,\u201d he said.Assistant Speaker Bob Kil- ger told Venne there is nothing in the regulations to prevent MPs from using any language.But Venne asked whether that would mean \u201cthat members who might be of Ukrainian or German origin could speak in their mother tongues?\u201d arrest.But tapes of communications between Bergeron and police dispatchers show \u201cthe professionalism by which he did his job, by the tone of his voice as well as by the language he used.\u201d Picard said two medical witnesses offered a rational explanation for what happened to Barnabé in the early hours of Dec.14, 1993 after he was arrested for a broken church window.\u201cAfter this, we will need more than translation from French to English.We'll need it from German, from Spanish,\u201d she said in an interview.\u201cNow that everybody knows : that we are allowed to speak whatever language that we want, we'll see what we will have here.\u201d Anawak routinely makes comments in Inuktitut before translating them into English.He said he was \u201cboiling mad\u201d at Venne\u2019s comments.He recalled testimony by Manitoba's chief medical officer that the taxi driver showed symptoms of a condition known as \u201cexcited delirium,\u201d including bizarre behavior, hallucinations, acute paranoia, shouting - and screaming, unexpected strength and diminished sense of pain.These psychiatric problems, aggravated by his being held face down by police on the cell floor and thus deprived of oxygen, brought on Barnabé\u2019s sudden heart attack that left him in an incurable vegetative state, the witness had suggested.Pierre Dupras, lawyer for another policeman charged, said he understood the public pressure on the jury to find the officers guilty.But he asked the five women and seven men jurors to rise above the clamor for vengeance.Like his colleague, Dupras parried the suggestion that the accused officers roughed up Barnabé because he led them on a wild car chase before coming to a halt in front of his brother\u2019s house in nearby Laval. Editorial 6\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, June 13, 1995 Unholy alliance on shaky ground Well, they finally did it.Sovereigntists of all stripes can now look at one another as comrades-in-arms after the alliance between the Parti Québécois, the Bloc Québécois and Action Démocratique.Quelle surprise.While the party leaders look to the new covenant as a show of solidarity, many are uncomfortable with the alliance.Like any new marriage, there is going to be a series of adjustments to be made, and the hunger for power isn\u2019t likely to help any of them get along better.If the past is any indication, federalists have little to worry about this new pact.First there\u2019s Mario Dumont.Young, dangerously ambitious and extremely bright, he isn\u2019t going to lose sight of his own dream to run the show one day.Helping Jacques Parizeau is not in his best interests, and tagging along on the coat tails of the hardline separatists could easily alienate him from the soft nationalists who make up the base of his current support.And there\u2019s a lot more of them than there are hardliners these days.Then there are Premier Parizeau and Lucien Bouchard.If recent events count for anything, these guys couldn\u2019t agree on a half-dozen subjects during dinner conversation.Under different circumstances, and given their preferences, they would probably be members of different country clubs, drink different brands of beer and live their lives blissfully ignorant of each other.The differences between these two men were made widely public earlier this year, as they jockeyed for the unofficial moral leadership of the nationalist movement, and managed to contradict one another on an almost weekly basis.Their visions of a separate Quebec change with the phases of the moon as each man tries to figure out a way they can actually win this thing.There have been times when relations hetween the men were, to put it mildly, icy.The new alliance will probably give the Yes forces a temporary boost, something they have been searching desperately for since the PQ came to power last fall.But as the cracks begin to appear, support will once again begin to dwindle.Old habits die hard, and some things are just too tempting to pass up.When things get tough and they begin to scramble, these guys will be looking to secure their own political futures, not each other's.MAURICE CROSSFIELD Did you know that.BITUMEN Alberta has one of the largest sources of bitumen, the thickest form of petroleum, in the world.Alberta bitumen contains more petroleum than the oil reserves of the Persian Gulf.OS \" NOI ats | / / LE F0 EE Aa.se 3 RAR ASI AI Al cz XC A \u2019 ) = fad F2.> = i -

at its slowest pace since late 1992 \u2014 prompting dim forecasts of what\u2019s ahead.Statistics Canada reported today the gross domestic product advanced just 0.2 per cent in the first three months of the year, a victim of everything from a two-per-cent rise in interest rates to a rail strike and a slowed U.S.economy.A year ago, the economy grew by 1.3 per cent in the first quarter.In the final three months of 1994 it grew by 1.1 per cent.Last Friday, the unemployment rate rose to 9.5 per cent from 9.4 with employment growth virtually non- existant.Economists convert GDP figures to an annualized basis to get a better picture of trends.Measured this way, the trend looks worse.This year\u2019s first quarter would adjust to 0.7 per cent annualized growth, versus 4.6 per cent in the fourth quarter of 1994 \u2014 and a 5.4-per-cent annualized pace in the first three months of last year.Measured either way, it\u2019s the latest in a litany of signs of slower economic activity, from * stubborn unemployment to terrible housing sales.As a result of the higher interest rates, borrowing activity has fallen to its lowest point in 2% years.As a result, many economists didn\u2019t bother waiting until Monday to forecast an even worse second quarter.\u201cThe first quarter was a bad dream; the second quarter is going to be a nightmare,\u201d said Andrew Pyle, senior economist at MMS.He's forecasting negative GDP performance in the second quarter.Nesbit Burns economist Stan Kumagai also forecast a contraction in the period from April to June.Peter Drake, vice-president and economist at Toronto Dominion Bank, wouldn't go as far as predicting contraction.But he said it was clear growth would be slight.Exports, currently the backbone of the Canadian economy, rose at just 1.3 per cent in the first quarter.That\u2019s the 13th straight quarterly advance for Canadian exports.But it is down from a 6.2-per-cent average growth in the previous three quarters.Meanwhile,

from Scientists detect helium gas created in Big Bang PITTSBURGH (AP) \u2014 Scientists searching for a wisp of creation have found evidence of helium gas formed in the Big Bang, the moment of supreme violence theorists say was the birth of the universe.The helium gas, found more than nine billion light years from Earth, was identified in readings taken by a special ultraviolet telescope in the Astro-2 observatory that operated from the space shuttle Endeavour.Arthur Davidsen, a Johns Hopkins University astrophysicist, said finding the gas so far away is powerful confirmation of a major part of the Big Bang theory.\u201cThe helium supports the whole idea of the Big Bang,\u201d Davidsen said in an interview.\u201cOne of the major predictions is that the universe after the Big Bang was filled with about 90 per cent hydrogen and 10 per cent helium.This gas filled all of space and was very, very hot.\u201d Eventually the gas cooled and condensed to form stars, which then formed galaxies of stars.All other elements, including those that built planets and life itself, are thought to have formed in the fiery life and death of stars.\u201cIt strongly supports the whole idea of the Big Bang,\u201d said Davidsen.\u201cIf you find a tusk is poking through your tent, you can pretty well assume that there is an elephant outside,\u201d and the helium is the tusk of the Big Bang.Davidsen was to present a paper on the study today at a national meeting of the American Astronomical Society.\u201cThis helium is not any exotic matter,\u201d he said, but is part of the elemental origin of all matter.\u201cThis was created in the Big Bang and we were created out of it,\u201d he said.Hydrogen and helium born in the Big Bang have long been thought to exist still in the universe.Astronomers have sought evidence of it for more than 30 years.But conventional ground-based instruments have failed to find it.It is believed the gas atoms can\u2019t be seen because they have been ionized \u2014 stripped of electrons \u2014 making them invisible to instruments peering through the Earth\u2019s atmosphere, even the Hubble Space Telescope.But Davidsen and others believed a telescope looking in the far ultraviolet spectrum from space could detect at least part of the elusive gas.They reasoned that helium, which has two electrons while hydrogen has only one, would be

said.The telescope was built into the Astro-2 instruments and flown aboard Endeavour.When Davidsen and his colleagues analysed data from the mission, it was clear their decades-long quest was ended.They found the clear signature of helium in the spectrum of radiation from a quasar star and the amount was consistent with what theorists had predicted would remain from the Big Bang.Using the accepted ratio of helium to hydrogen, the astronomers could estimate the amount of hydrogen.All the numbers fit the theory.B.C.beach leaves nudists exposed KELOWNA, B.C.(CP) \u2014 An Okanagan beach that has been used by nudists for at least 35 years might be stripped of its seclusion.Increased development has made its existence more obvious and, to some, more offensive.\u201cWe believe exhibitionism and nudity is a perverted sexual behavior,\u201d said Graham Chambers, who lives within half a kilometre of the beach.\u201cIt\u2019s against the law and is not accepted in our culture.\u201d The city acquired it in 1988 as part of an exchange with a developer.Lawrence Rychjohn bought the property to the north, cleared away the brush and exposed that end to neighbors.Rychjohn wants to get his land out of the agricultural land reserve but the land commission wants to know, first, what plans the city has for the beach.Plans include a large parking lot above the beach, picnic areas, possible features such as a skateboard park, knoll, tree nursery, formal gardens, playground and visitor centre.Patti Leigh, who has lived just north of the beach for nine years, said she always knew there were nudists there but, until recently, they were fairly secluded.On her one and only visit to the beach a few years ago she and her two young children stumbled upon people entwined in sexual embraces.\u201cHow do you explain that to your children?\u201d she said.\u201cT don\u2019t have anything against nude sunbathing.It\u2019s all the other (sexual)

Memory loss can begin in your 30\u2019s Researchers trying to help people stop forgetting TORONTO (CP) \u2014 So you're getting older and you swear you can\u2019t remember anything anymore?The bad news, say researchers, is you do start forgetting things as early as in your 30s \u2014 but only certain kinds of things.And the good news is you can train yourself to remember them.These are two pretty memorable findings of new research at the University of Toronto and McMaster University in Hamilton.Aging affects one part of your memory \u2014 your conscious recollection of specific events that happened to you, says investigator Fergus Craik.Events like where you put the car keys and the name of the guy you were just introduced to.But aging, says Craik, has little effect on your general knowledge (remembering the capital of France) or procedural memory (the processes you learn through life, such as riding a bike or playing the piano).Those kinds of memory stand the test of time because of repetition (you learned them over and over again) or environment (you put the event in the same context each time), says Craik.\u201cThe more automatic it is and the more procedural, the more you will remember it,\u201d says Craik, a University of Toronto psychologist and associate scientist at the Rotman Research Institute of Toronto\u2019s Baycrest Centre.\u201cYou'll remember how to ride a bike but you won't remember when you first rode it.\u201d Craik headed a federally A possible cure for those sleepless nights?Napless cats help scientists find snooze ooze By Paul Recer WASHINGTON (AP) \u2014 A compound found in sleepy cats may be the long-sought substance that could bring natural, drug-free sleep with no hangovers to millions of insomniacs.\u201cThis compound creates a natural, deep sleep, but one from which the test animals could be aroused,\u201d said Steven Henriksen, a sleep scientist at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Calif, \u201cThey were not drugged.\u201d Henriksen said the sleep potion is a natural brain chemical that apparently plays a key role in causing slumber.\u201cIt probably exists in all mammals,\u201d he said.The substance is a lipid, a compound that helps cells to communicate within the brain, and may be in a new class of brain chemicals known as lipid second messengers, said Henriksen.And, he said, it could possibly be developed into a pill that would bring sleep to the sleepless without causing the next- day symptoms of grogginess, headache and exhaustion that some experience with sleep drugs now in use.A report on the sleep compound study is to be published today in Science, the journal of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.To isolate the substance, researchers at Scripps first created some very sleepy cats.Henriksen said scientists put the cats on a moving treadmill and deprived them of sleep for up to 18 hours.Samples of spinal fluid were then removed from the sleepy kitties and the chemistry of the specimens was compared to spinal fluid taken from rested cats, The analysis showed that fluid from sleep-deprived felines had a higher proportion of a compound called cis-9,10-octadecenoamide.The researchers broke down the chemical and identified it as a natural substance found in the spinal fluid of cat, rat and man.Henriksen said that after the compound was synthesized, the researchers tested it to see if it would put rats to sieep.And to make the experiment Hormone pills the only treatment Natural remedies for menopause By Heather Doleman Peterborough Examiner PETERBOROUGH, Ont.(CP) \u2014 The hot flashes and mood swings that make menopause difficult for some women can be eased with remedies as natural as the process itself, says a doctor of naturopathic medicine.Penny Seth-Smith, who prescribes herbal remedies and non-surgical treatments in her suburban Toronto practice, recently told a group of Peter- borough women there are many options to the hormone pills taken by some women when menstruation ends.Women can go through natural menopause as early as their late 30s but usually don\u2019t until their 50s, said Carol Aird, a nurse practitioner at the Women\u2019s Health Care Centre.\u201cI give the body what it needs so that it can heal itself.Believe in the intelligence of the body,\u201d said Seth-Smith.Seth-Smith, who did three years of pre-medical education, a four-year full-time college course and wrote 18 exams to become a licensed naturopath, said treatments based on natural remedies \u2014 herbs, Chinese medicine and diet \u2014 treat people, not just symptoms.\u201cIts looking at when and how hot flashes happen.With migraines, we ask where and how it hurts .It's a correlation.Pick the remedy most suited to your needs,\u201d said Seth- Smith.And \u201ctrust your body\u201d to tell you when a remedy works.She said herbal remedies give the body the ingredients to create the exact amount of hormone needed.Progesterone cream works well because the hormone is absorbed into the skin as it is rubbed in.AE AY funded research study under the Canadian Aging Research Network.Why do we forget some things and not others?Craik says explicit kinds of memory \u2014 \u201cWhere did I put my car keys?\u201d depend on the frontal lobes of the brain.\u201cFrom your mid-30s on, any memory that depends substantially on the frontal lobes is in trouble,\u201d he says.\u201cAnd the things that are most sensitive are things that require unique recall without any hints or clues.\u201d But there are two sides of more difficult, they chose well- rested rats who normally would not be sleepy.After the animals were injected with the substance, said Henriksen, they sank swiftly into slumber.\u201cIt put them to sleep quickly, but it was not like a barbiturate sleep,\u201d said Henriksen.\u201cIt was a normal cycle of sleep.\u201d The researcher said tests showed all of the characteristics of natural sleep in the rats, including a gradual lowering of sos Te + - .ss Zo Friendship Day 5 CS Saturday, June 17 QC 3% 2 at the Atto Beaver Park eda TO (St.Francis St.,

meaningful and distinctive you make it.Part of the reason we forget is we don\u2019t bother to remember things, he says.We don\u2019t think at the time it\u2019s important or we're not paying attention.\u201cOne way you can get over it is to consciously make yourself think about where you put something down.\u201cOr when you're introduced to someone at a party, you make yourself think of a

tests showed there were no \u201cmorning-after effects\u201d that are common for many sleep drugs, he said.Though the tests on rats involved injecting the drug, Henriksen said, eventually a sleeping pill will be developed.\u201cI have no reason to believe that it won\u2019t work that way,\u201d he said.À y Ut) oS 12\u2014The RECORD\u2014Tuesday, June 13, 1995 (= Townships\u2019 Crier WAY'S MILLS
