i'm cindy edwards coming up tonight on the late edition
having a ball
soccer players get ready for the ontario cup
flying into the future
and brook airport is forced to make some changes
and up in smoke the guys gain popularity with women
good evening there is a big question mark tonight surrounding the future of the
pembroke airport
if the facility is going to survive changes need to be made and soon
so now the airport commission is looking at new ways of doing business
including privatization
chros elizabeth davis has more
thank you very much
the pembroke airport isn't exactly a moneymaker
in fact this year it's projecting a one hundred fifty thousand dollar deficit
in april it received a four hundred thousand dollar lump sum from the
federal government to help offset operational costs
once it's spent
that's the end of federal funding i would think we probably have enough
money to see us through
three years but we're looking longer down the road
we don't want to just look at three years down the road we want to see this
place here in five years ten years twenty years down the road
alan rand says that the airport is going to survive changes need to be made
and there's a lot at stake
especially when you consider companies like k i mcdonald lodele and atomic
energy of canada all depend on it
so do people like robert levy i think it's great for an old guy like me
seventy three years old not to have to drive four and a half five hours by car
robert doesn't want to see the airport closed
neither does del o'brien the president of pem air
if there isn't an airport
there isn't a need for an airline this is not a decision that can be delayed
because every week that goes by we're wasting and losing a great deal of money
that we've vitally need
looking at
every virtual option that we can in order to keep this thing up and running
one of those options is privatization the commission is now accepting bids from
those looking to operate maintain and manage the airport
pem air is the first and so far the only one to hand in a written proposal
a proposal o'brien calls lean and mean
one aim at survival
and if our proposal is accepted
i'm satisfied that the airport can continue to run for many years into the
future
all proposals must be in by june twenty eight
we should know what the future holds for the airport
by early september

women from across canada converged in the capital earlier today
in preparation for a convention of the national action committee on the status
of women
they've done for on the mcmichael reports
here's an embrace
at the caravan of road where women completed the last leg of a cross
candidate
the women's march against poverty wound its way through eighty thousand cities
over the past month
carol
uh...
today's the journey to the capital and
in a rowdy rally women begin to share their on the road experiences
many on the caravan living on welfare or in poverty themselves were troubled by
what they saw across canada
kids like
not having a place to stay or anything because of the money and
women being beat by their man once we started traveling we started to realize
that each and every person
that we talked to our men on on on on this march
we're all feeling the same thing
rock becoming poor where there's a lot of people losing their jobs
the women have fifteen demands
including a higher minimum wage and more social housing
organizers hope their united front will make politicians
sit up and listen
we have a prime minister who was elected on the promise of job creation and
protecting social programs
and national child care program
this is women telling him now is the time to deliver on those promises
tomorrow the long march across canada will culminate in a parliament hill
rally
where hundreds of women are expected to gather in a final call for action

legislation was introduced in the house of commons today on a highly
controversial subject
the regulation of reproductive technology
david reports
the proposed law bans pregnancy for profit
outlawing various aspects of surrogate motherhood along with eight other so
called reproductive technologies
don't mean
we're moving from commercialization
to a voluntary approach
the buying and selling of human eggs embryos and sperm will be prohibited
and no more rent-a-womb ads from brokers
it will become a criminal offense to arrange for a surrogate mother
and violators will be subject to heavy fines even jail terms
what it does is that
the process of donation
for donation shall not be a practical item
the federal government adopted many of the recommendations made by the
nineteen ninety three royal commission on reproductive technologies
but there are exceptions
the commission suggested men should be reimbursed as much as seventy five
dollars for sperm donations
but the government said no
the sale of sperm will be phased out
forcing many private clinics to close
if we cannot purchase it then we
for the present time will not be able to treat the forty couples a month that come here for
donor insemination
at least two hundred fifty thousand young couples in canada are unable to
conceive a child
lee and doug boyd relied on in vitro fertilization and it worked
i just couldn't believe it was true i mean it just was too good to be true
the current moratorium on many of these new technologies will remain in effect
until the proposed legislation becomes law
federal officials say that should happen sometime this fall

the political career of shila copps will be on the line monday
that's when the voters of hamilton east will cast their ballots and pass
judgment on her decision to resign over the gst
and run for reelection
leon corby reports
don't forget to get out and vote that's all
oh no we won't forget
16 monday
thank you
shila copps is literally running for her political life
never mind that she's owned this seat since 1984 and won the last election by
more than seventeen thousand votes
copps is taking nothing for granted i'm running for this seat i'm running hard
for this seat i think we run an excellent campaign and i'm focusing on monday
getting the vote out this all started when copps promised during the last
election that she'd quit if the liberals didn't scrap the gst
when it became clear the gst was staying the pressure mounted on her to quit
the former deputy prime minister did
that she hopes this by-election ends that chapter in the parliamentary process
the ultimate decision is the decision of the people in a particular riding
and when you have a by-election i think the people of canada just like the
uh... candidates in this election
have to respect the wishes of the voters
there are many issues in this multicultural working-class area of
hamilton
but most will tell you this by-election is about one thing when it comes right
down to it it's going to be about what hamilton is about shila
a new democrat candidate wayne marston is hoping hamilton east thinks it's time
for a change and he predicts the perennial runner-up here the ndp is about
to benefit with the race sweep as a canvasser out there about six to eight
days before we knew we had a tiger by the tail
but that happened more than a week ago here this is a very crowded by-election
with over twelve candidates vying for the job
and they have company
some interest groups from outside the riding have spent money on very direct
anti-shila campaigns
prompting some of cop's supporters to fight back
they took out a full page ad in the local newspaper essentially telling the
group to
but out of hamilton east business
indeed some of the candidates have gotten into the billboard blitz with not
so subtle reminders about what caused this vote
and in another example of full contact politics
deborah gray the reform party's deputy leader and local candidate andy sweat
barged into cop's campaign headquarters on thursday to make a point about mp's
pension either this is what the uh...
voters in hamilton east that i've talked to on the doorstep
are wanting to do with shila's pension
reform finished second here last time
gst is still there so many residents find it farcical that uh...
she was running in while the gst is still in place she's not going to get a
seventeen thousand vote majority
that's the window
it may be tight
it may be not so tight
but i think there is a sense that she's got to work for our trust again
you know she blew it once she's got to work before we can trust her again

hundreds of canadians are killed or injured at railway crossings often due
to careless drivers and pedestrians
engineers are helpless witnesses
today via rail show journalists in the ottawa region and engineers perspective
of the dangers on the railway
baton's anna kareena tabania reports
randy allen is a train engineer has been for twenty one years
this is the pretty part of his job
there's also one ugly side
i've been in four accidents
children playing near tracks
gasoline trucks in front of us
school bus in front of us
all near misses
he sees cyclists use the tracks as trails
pedestrians and drivers defy stoplights
they're very helpless
don't realize the speed and the weight that's behind the force on a locomotive
last year one hundred and twenty people were killed and just as many were
injured in railway accidents
this stretch of track between montreal and ottawa is known as idiot alley
drivers often speed right through the light
allen sees about four near misses here every day
that's where all the miss-haps and all the false calls generally happen
it's between castle and ottawa
so when you have a flashing red light and
and bells ringing and a horn blowing at you
seems pretty obvious you should be stopping
you have to stop
they don't stop they'll look one way and then just run it
it's too far away
police agree
poor driving habits are the root of many railroad accidents
and they're ready to crack down
a fine of a hundred and five dollars
along with the demerit points you'd lose three demerit points if you're convicted
of uh... disobeying a railway crossing signal
that's just one penalty
randy allen has seen much more serious consequences

for the second time in two weeks the city of pembroke is hosting a major
provincial soccer tournament
last week it was of s a a girls high school championships
and this weekend it's the prestigious ontario cup
c h r o's brian parker reports
this is a provincial tournament that's been around since the turn of the century but it's
the first time a pembroke team has been involved
ontario cup covers eighteen divisions and involves over four hundred and seventy teams
from across the province
this weekend in pembroke it's the under fifteen tier two division five teams
including the pembroke juanus pantons will be trying to advance to the eventual semi-finals
later this summer
i think we have a very competitive team i think that will do very well uh...
pembroke soccer club offers
excellent training and all the way up
most of the kids that are on the team have been on select teams for a number of years
a lot of them have been playing soccer since they were five years old
there are four sites for this tier two division across the province pembroke
burlington thornhill and cambridge
each team will play four games in the weekend and pembroke the pantons will be up against
teams from nepean scarborough acton
and north bay
players expect the competition to be pretty tough
in our division we have like scarborough
other hard teams from around toronto
around there
and it should be a hard time but i think we have a team to win
it's going to be real tough
we could do well
if we play together probably
i like playing against
other teams from other cities
i don't like playing teams from around this valley
we play them a lot
the pembroke team also features three girls which is probably pretty unique for this
tournament
the ontario cap opens at riverside park saturday morning the pembroke panthers

welcome back child advocate judy finley doesn't believe the situation at the
elgin middle sex detention center is out of control
she says the problems arise when young offenders are housed in adult facilities
baton's dan miles reports
in a report to the government the child advocate detailed allegations of assault
and maltreatment at the elgin middle sex detention center in london
judy finley says the young offenders who rioted at the blue water youth center
in february should not have been taken to the adult facility we had forty youth
who were
who were viewed as riotous
dangerous young offenders
entering an adult facility
and they were being managed uh... according to the to the management staff
in a way that that they would manage dangerous adults and i believe that's
what's happened that's what happened
finley says for the most part young offenders are immature and suffer from
behavioral problems
so they can't be treated like adults
the child advocate says young offenders need a lot more attention in elgin
middle sex or any other part of the province where youth are being managed in
in the adult sections of adult facilities
uh... their management is is not
consistent with
the philosophy and principles of the young offenders act
yesterday outside the legislature solicitor general bob runsman said
there's not much he can do when youth institutions are full
that's certainly a difficult one to grapple with but i don't think as a government we can have a
stand by youth the facility
to deal with these kinds of circumstances
social services minister david tabuchi has now been drawn into this controversy
the child advocate informed tabuchi's ministry of her findings in march
but london police weren't called in to investigate until three months later
the minister has been unavailable to comment

justice minister alan rock denies he played private investigator before
passing on rumors of wrongdoing to the rcmp
the unsubstantiated allegations related to the previous conservative government
of brian maulrooney
bayton's bill rogers reports
both the bloc and reform opposition amps kept the pressure on alan rock
why was the minister of justice conducting his own private investigation
the fact is that i did no such thing
but global mail reporter susan delacourt says rock raised the subject of rumors
of wrongdoing with her over dinner in a restaurant in nineteen ninety three
rock maintains he acted on information passed to him by delacourt and another
journalist
i didn't
take information and shop it around and ask people's views about it
what i did is i received information rock says he acted responsibly even
though the rcmp checked into similar allegations in nineteen eighty nine and
found nothing
former prime minister brian maulrooney is suing the government and others over
allegations he received kickbacks in the purchase of their bus jets
government lawyers are now trying to settle the case out of court
the justice minister was asked if anybody could pass along rumors of
wrongdoing to him and expect the rcmp to investigate
police investigations are
replete with unsubstantiated rumors that's why police investigate that may be the case
but unsubstantiated rumors about political adversaries aren't usually

cigar clubs have sprung up everywhere and even women are getting involved in an
activity some consider quite elegant
brian brit reports from montreal
if you're a cigar smoker there's nothing like a cuban
and made cigars they can cost up to sixty dollars each
what people are buying
field
so the last few years ago
susan hilton brand runs the h pupar smoke shop on saint catharine street
west
and on till saturday she has a visitor
all the way from havana orlando ortega
rolling cigars for forty two years
we're doing this in conjunction with the cuban government in order to uh... show
consumers the difference between the hands and the machine-made cigar
it starts with the leaf
there's something about the cuban soil and the climate
the tobacco was aged up to two years and then craftsmen like orlando ortega
go to work
with the help of interpreter julia blanco we spoke with orlando
much training is involved
when the people in the city of the internet and the people who are
and the world
all day here
and i hope you can
making a real
for the past forty two years orlando ortega has hand-rolled between one
hundred and one hundred and twenty cigars a day
he works at the part of gas factory in havana
turning out such brand name cigars as monty christophe
and romeo and julietta
for this cigar three different types of tobacco were used and then the wrapper
is applied
lovingly
the most important thing is to have love for the job for the craft
orlando told us he is a cigar smoker himself
wanted to know his favorite
for him it's not a name for it, he makes it himself
he prepares himself so he gets light
depending on what he feels like he goes in
that's right
yes that's right
until saturday at pupars orlando ortega will roll one to your taste
as far as the price is concerned remember it's cuban tobacco
and it's hand-rolled by a man with forty two years experience

finally tonight doctors say kids with sleeping disorders can grow up to be
adults with sleeping disorders
but there is something you can do to help
dr michael breen has more
the music is mellow
the lights are dim
it's nap time at this child care center
one after another every child falls asleep
except for two-year-old jeremy
his provider says he's a hard cookie
he is usually one of the last to go to sleep and normally he likes to just
drift off the sleep by himself
now at some point almost all children have problems sleeping or afraid of the
dark
but a new study suggests that's a consistent problem for your child
it could pave the way for a lifetime of sleep disorders
in this study
children with nightmares or trouble falling asleep
were twice as likely to later become adults
with the same problem
so how can parents correct a sleep problem early?
well ironically sleep studies on children show the most common cause of
insomnia
is that children are too tired when they go to sleep
a nine-month-old needs two two-hour naps every day
at two years old
that declines to one nap a day
but many children still need that daily nap
till they're four years old
without that much sleep
children are overtired and therefore agitated at night
the main goal is to avoid the overtired state
to try to set up
limits
so that the child is put to bed
day and night before the child gets overtired
if you can do that
your child can consistently get a good night's sleep
