B8 The Ottawa Citizen, Thursday, January 14, 1993 City life Citizen sta Organizers say arms show puts spotlight on peacekeepers $250,000 project turns offices into courtroom The province is setting aside $250,000 from its jobsOntario fund, the New Democratic government's five-year, scheme for job creation, training and housing. The province says nine jobs will be created for the work. Attorney General Howard Hampton announced Tuesday plans to convert office space in the Ottawa courthouse into a new courtroom. By David Pugliese start writer Unmn Qnilrlorr-' held at Lansdowno Park in 1987 and 1989, Geddry added. No large equipment such as tanks and howitzers will be displayed.

That rule, however, doesn't exclude exhibitors from promoting armored cars that are widely used by UN forces. But disarmament groups argue that Peacekeeping '93 is just a clever cover for another ARMX exhibition. They say representatives from countries with poor human rights records have been invited to the show and there is no way to prevent arms deals from being made. "They (arms dealers) won't limit it to peacekeeping," said Richard Sanders, spokesman for the Coalition to Oppose the Amis Trade. "They are there to make money." Disarmament groups say that on future peacekeeping missions Canadian soldiers might run up against some of the same military equipment being promoted by companies at the show.

They have asked the Congress Centre to cancel its contract. Baxter Publishing representatives met with the Congress Centre board of directors Wednesday to answer questions about the show. "They were up front and showed us a list of the people who would be displaying," said Joe Cassey, chairman of the board. Cassey said there are no legal provisions that would prevent the show from being held. He said the board is expected to decide whether to cancel the show at a meeting Jan.

27. Geddry refused to release the list of exhibitors to news outlets until it is completed. He said the Defence Department has given moral support to the show but has not contributed any money. Keporr Organizers of a militaiy trade show say there's no shame in marketing Canadian peacekeeping expertise. "I think that every Canadian citizen ought to piggyback on the prestige of Canadian peacekeepers," said Alex Morrison, seminar organizer for Peacekeeping '93, a defence trade show in Ottawa in March.

"The exhibition is a very positive event." Morrison, head of the Canadian Institute of Strategic Studies, was responding Wednesday to criticism from disarmament groups who have banded together against the exhibit. Those groups argue that the show, which will feature displays of military equipment, takes advantage of peacekeeping to allow companies to sell weapons. They say it's an insult to Canadian troops who have risked their lives on peacekeeping missions. But Morrison and fellow organizer Al Geddry, both former Canadian peacekeepers, say the show at the Congress Centre will highlight mainly Canadian equipment that can be used on United Nations operations. Geddry, a spokesman for Baxter Publications which is organizing the exhibit, said it is only natural that Canadians share their peacekeeping expertise.

He said the UN spends $1 billion a year on equipment for such missions, a market that he hopes Canadian companies can break into via the trade show. Representatives from the UN and the Defence Department will be at Peacekeeping 93.

He said she ran up a $16,000 debt, lived in a constant religious fervor, and finally left him when he didn't convert. Janice Ohlmann, a close friend of Grenier's, testified she knew the woman referred to in the Citken story was Alice Grenier because she had seen a CJOH television broadcast more than two years earlier in which Marcel Grenier appeared and made statements about his wife similar to those printed in the Citizen. Grenier testified she left her husband in 1986 because they were arguing constantly and she could no longer tolerate his excessive drinking.

"We never spoke except to argue," Grenier told the three-man, three-woman jury. Lawyers for the Citizen were expected to cross-examine Grenier today about her collection of video tapes and cassettes from various evangelists. She also was to be asked about financial records for religious activities, including several trips to the United States to attend religious gatherings. A former Carleton Place woman told a civil jury Wednesday she was not addicted to television evangelists and did not leave her husband because he refused to be converted. Alice Grenier is suing the Citizen for a 1989 story by staff writer Marsha Skuce.

The story, which did not name Grenier or her husband, Marcel, was about Fundamentalists Anonymous, a New York-based organization that supports former devotees of fundamentalist Christianity and their family or friends.
