There are about 12,000 English-speaking children in Quebec (Most of them in
the MTL area) who are not allowed to attend English school.

Efforts are being made to restore the right to choose the kind of education
one wishes for one's children in this province.

Families affected are invited to contact Steve Potter

If you know a family who has been denied this basic right then please pass
this message along.

{ Steve Potter is the spokesperson for a number of families who have formed a

I know you are out there : This is a democracy : Do not be afraid to speak up!

This issue will be debated next spring/summer: Are you ready to fight for this?

 I know a lot: All french speaking families are denied that right.
 They have only the rights of immigrants: to send their children to
  french schools. Only english residents have the freedom of choice.
  Ah... the chance they have....
 -------------------------------------------------------------------------

 Now a little exercise:

 Choose between the two:

  1- Survival of the french fact in America

  2- Freedom of choice for immigrants

 What is more important for you ?

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
 You may vary well forget about the question, you may be tempted to choose
 both or all kinds on unconvincing arguments. Why don't you start to think
 about it seriously? French speaking people in America are 5 millions in a
 pool of 300 millions english speaking. What is your estimate of their
 life expectancy as a cultural group if freedom of choice is allowed for
 new comers ... who know where is the money....

It is only by comparing it with "300 million" that you can
make "5 million" seem small.

I am glad they know where the money is, cuz I don't. :-)

One can never predict the future with certainty, so you are entitled
to a paranoid view.  You may decide that you must assimilate
large numbers of immigrants in order to preserve your nation.
But, why not let the English community accept a few newcomers, too?


BTW, I never gave you permission to speak my language.  Aren't you
betraying your nation?

Hello out there. I've got some questions about doing Hood-to-Coast.

1.) How are you handling the non-allowed van exchange at 24? Other
than keeping the Leg 1 runner up all night. We were thinking about
just having Van 1 drop him off at exchange 25 and he would run back
on the course until he got to the start of his leg (only 3.8 mi away),
or Van 2 picks him up to take him back to the exchange.

2.) Any good ways to make Road Kill signs stay on the outside of the
van without peeling off the paint when the sign is removed?

3.) How long does it take to get from St. Helens to Mist via
Clatskanie? Is the road to Mist from Clatskanie narrow enough
that it will cause traffic problems? Is there a better way
to get to Exchange 25?

4.) The warning on Leg 32 that says only ORANGE vans allowed is
a mistake, right?

5.) At the captains meeting, they didn't mention any current 
construction on the course. Does anyone know of any?

6.) How are other teams dealing with being out of touch with
Runner 12 on the bike path from Clackamas Town Center? Last year
our runner was chase by drunks, hopefully this time they will
be passed out by the time we get there ;)

7.) Anyone discovered any problems that weren't mentioned at the
captains meeting?

Thanks!

My team has an opening for a male or female runner for the 1992 hood-to-coast
relay.  This is a 192 mile relay with a 12 person team where each runner
is responsible for 3 legs of approximately five miles.
The relay starts Friday evening, August 28th and ends Saturday night at
Seaside.

This is a non-competitive, co-educational team.  We have runners of varying
abilities ranging in age from 16 yrs to 40+.  I have run with this group 
the last two years and it's a really fun time.

A recent issue of Smithsonian magazine had an article on the results of
the Garbage Project, a several-decade project looking at what landfills contain.

Surprisingly, non-decomposed paper is the largest parts of what's in the
average landfill.  The project report specifically mentioned plastics and
disposable diapers as two items that have received a lot of attention, but
occupy a small percentage by weight or volume of a landfill.

Of course, this article doesn't advocate that we dump plastics and diapers in
landfills, but it does point out that almost nothing, not even "biodegradable"
stuff, decomposes in landfills.

I posted the note not because I wanted to protest that they were stoping, but
to let people know that they needed to find somewhere else to take plactics if
they were saving it.  I posted the reason why they quit because as soon as he
