ssO 7 THE GAZETTE, MONTREAL, THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1993 IT T.jl!!3 1 New tourism guide highlights region's best spots HARVEY SHEPHERD THE GAZETTE Bloc Quebecois's candidates in Chambly wary of outside stars Five local men already in the running offers an a la carte meal for about $5. It's open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 3 a.m. Its special attractions include a billiard table and a view of the airport. Those are some randomly selected data from a directory of services catering to the tourist trade in 18 South Shore communities.

The directory, made public last week, contains information on 475 restaurants and 325 museums, historic sites, theatres, movie houses, parks, hotels and motels. The booklet's creator, the Office des Congres et du Tourisme de la Rive Sud de Montreal, has printed up about 700 copies of the 80-page French-language booklet. The guides are being distributed free, thanks to a host of tourism supporters and advertisers, to people with an interest in South Shore tourism. It is one of four reference publications launched last week by the Office, which was established last year and is trying to organize itself on a more permanent footing. A four-person team has been working on the project since fall with the help of federal job-creation subsidies, scheduled to run out at the end of July, and some provincial funds.

A provisional board of directors was chosen in February: the chairman is Daniel Gauvin, director of the Longueuil Paladium.

Hubert rivalry resumes in Hewitt Cup DAVID PETERS SPECIAL TO THE GAZETTE onship teams from the Quebec, Ottawa District and Northern Ontario leagues, and the Thunder Bay Flyers, the only Canadian team playing in an American Junior A league. The St. Hubert Spatial is the tournament's host team. The tournament opened Sunday at Longueuil's Jean Bdliveau Coliseum. The Chateauguay Elites dropped a 7-4 decision to the Ottawa Senators but St.

Hubert won an exciting overtime game 6-5 over the Powassan Hawks, representing Northern Ontario. Through Tuesday, the Ottawa Senators were atop the standings with a 3-0 record. Thunder Bay (2-0) held second place, while St. Hubert was third at 1-1. Chateauguay and Powassan had records of 0-2 and 0-3, respectively.

The semi-finals are set for Saturday, with the first-place team playing the fouth-place club at Gaetan Boucher Arena at noon. The second and third-place teams square off at Marcel Bonin Arena in Joliette at 7:30 p.m. The semi-final winners meet at 2 p.m.- pn Sunday in the title game at Jean B61iveau Coliseum. The winner earns a berth in the Canadian championship the Centennial Cup meet at Amherst, N.S. That tournament begins May 7.

Just a week after the Chateauguay Elites overcame a 3-2 series deficit to win the Quebec Junior A hockey title four games to three over St. Hubert, both teams are fighting for another championship the Dudley Hewitt Cup. This year marks the first time the Quebec league has played host to the round-robin tournament, which determines the Canadian Junior A central division champion. The five-team field is composed of champi colleagues to discuss the issue well before St-Arnaud was on the scene. Bouchard was known to be interested in having Monique Simard, 42, the radio hot-line host and former trade-union leader, as candidate in the riding.

Simard decided against running. "Bouchard wants 50 per cent woman candidates and 50 per cent men, and he is looking for all-stars," Lapointe said. "We don't want outside all-stars. We want quality candidates from here in Chambly riding. "It still may be that something is being cooked up under the table, but, at least the way it looks now, whoever (of the five) is chosen candidate he is going to be local.

"That's what we want." Senecal said the threat of an outside candidate "seems to have been eliniminated" but added: "You can never take anything for granted." St-Arnaud was active in nationalist causes as a student and was an aide to Pierre Marc Johnson when Johnson was Parti Qu6becois premier and opposition leader. St-Arnaud said he has recently been concentrating on his law practice. At first, he was cool to the idea of running for the Bloc, he said, but became interested to show young people they should not think of Quebec sovereignty as just their parents' dream. "It's not just cultural. It's economic.

Maybe in the 1960s and 1970s it was possible for Quebe-cers to think they could afford an Immigration Department in Ottawa and another one in Quebec and so on. But surely not today." CHAMBLY Several contenders for the Bloc nomination in Chambly federal riding hope they have warded off the danger of facing a star candidate from outside but say they aren't letting their guard down. And four hopefuls who this month signed a joint statement denouncing any attempt to "parachute" a star into the riding are unanimous that this was not a veiled attack on a fifth contender -Bertrand St-Arnaud of St. Bruno. They and St-Arnaud agreed in interviews that St-Arnaud is a bona-fide local candidate.

St. Bruno is in the riding. They also agreed that the fact St-Arnaud had a lengthy lunch with Bloc leader Lucien Bouchard when considering seeking the nomination does not mean he is backed by Bouchard. St-Arnaud, 34, practices criminal law in Montreal. He recently drew public attention by his success as a contestant on a French-language television quiz show.

The other contenders are Ghis-lain Lebel, 47, a notary in St. Basile le Grand; Richer Lapointe, 28, of Chambly, a sports consultant; Paul-Andre Desbiens, 38, a salesman and municipal councillor in Otterburn Park; arid Andre Snecal, 54, an insurance broker and Beloeil town No date for a nomination meeting has been set. Lebel said in an interview that rumors about a parachuted candidate prompted him and his three AIR DUCT CLEANING CARPET CLEANING $1 A 00 per room SPECIAL (2 room minimum at this low price) SKiOO "PROFESSIONALS DO THE JOB PROPERLY" 4 room SPECIAL SUPER SPECIAL!

(valid until May 3rd, '93) m-m nwi BROSSARD Brossard police are hoping that an innovative project will help them in their fight against juvenile crime. Since January, sociologist Diane Tellier and criminologist Nathalie Simard have been" analyzing the 248 files of young people aged 12 to 18 arrested by Brossard police in 1992.

Tellier and Simard have also visited about 45 schools and community groupsas well as a detention centre to learn about young people's values and motivations. The two, assisted by secretary Nicole Charbonneau, are to make their recommendations in a report to be presented in mid-July. One recommendation they know already is that police should understand that it's of more concern when a 10-year-old steals something, even as small as an eraser, than when a 14- or 15-year old steals an item of more value. That's because the older children are often going through a time of testing and experimenting, the two researchers explained in an interview. Studies have shown that children who steal at younger ages are more likely to develop more long-lasting criminal habits, they said.

Sgt. Guy Provost, in charge of crime prevention, said the department would like to put together a community working -group on juvenile crime and set up a special help line for parents. Whether that happens will depend on whether the department succeeds in getting a follow-up job-development grant from Employment and Immigration Canada. Simard, Tellier and Charbonneau along with Alain Ouimet, who visits homes of break-in victims to offer crime-prevention tips, were hired through a $30,000 grant from that department.
