The statement appealed to Morillon for help, saying he is "responsible for the lives of 40,000 people, among them 8,000 children." Zepa's Muslim defenders issued desperate appeals for Morillon to come to the town, saying it may be their "last day." After a meeting with the Bosnian president, Morillon was blocked from leaving the presidency building for half an hour by about 70 refugees from Zepa. They demanded that he protect Zepa in the same way he had done in Srebrenica, the first UN-designated safe haven in Bosnia. "I saved Srebrenica and I will save Zepa, too," Morillon told the angry crowd before finally being allowed to leave. Zepa was among six towns declared "safe areas" by the UN Security Council on Thursday. Mladic, who came under increasing pressure this week to reach some agreement to stop the fighting.

The government commander, Gen. Sefer Halilovic, also signed the agreement, and French Gen. Philippe Morillon, commander of UN forces in Bosnia, signed as a witness. According to the agreement, it was "aimed at a cessation of armed attacks or any hostile acts within the whole territories of Bosnia-Herzegovina." It provides for the demilitarization of the eastern town of Srebrenica by Monday, and of Zepa by Wednesday, with the commanders to determine the precise boundaries of the demilitarized areas. All forces would be required to withdraw or surrender their weapons to UN troops, who would police the demilitarized areas.

The UN headquarters in the capital was hit twice by artillery fire in the evening. No casualties were reported. Sarajevo radio said Saturday that Serb attacks on Zepa, about 50 kilometres east of Sarajevo, were continuing and the town's defenders were making a "superhuman effort" to resist.

Bosnian radio had said Friday that the town was in flames and that about 200 civilians had been killed and more than 300 injured. But it was impossible to verify the claims in the absence of UN observers. Many residents ran to surrounding hillside caves and forests, ham radio reports said. 'The hospital, resembling piles of bloody human parts, is located in several caves," said a statement of Zepa authorities carried by Sarajevo radio.

B5 Tom I Keyser Herald columnist city views By DAVID LI MEN HAG A Calgary Herald. OKOTOKS Jason Kenney looks exhausted. His complexion is chalky, his five-o'clock shadow positively Nixonian, his smart blue suit rumpled, and his tummy, a victim of too many quick and greasy restaurant meals, creeping over his belt. If the baby-faced executive director of the Association of Alberta Taxpayers is not exactly a mess this spring evening at the end of yet another 80-hour week, he looks as if he might be on his way. To make matters worse, this is an NHL playoff night, and the turnout under the unforgiving lights of the Oko-toks Composite high school's echoey gymnasium is mostly elderly and decidedly sparse.

Still, you can sense a little tremor of anticipation when Kenney out of nowhere the "enfant terrible" of Alberta's small-c conservative scene eases his squat frame up to the podium. This is "the" Jason Thomas Kenney, after all. The 24-year-old Ontario-born, Saskatchewan-raised anti-tax crusader snaps up headlines daily in Alberta's newspapers. His pronouncements on fiscal matters are treated with reverence by pundits. And he even gets invited to Premier Ralph Klein's office for private tete-a-tetes.

This is the guy who actually says ordinary, disgruntled, middle-class taxpayers right here in Canada can make out-of-control politicians and their special-interest bunkmates quit spending and even cut taxes! And, despite his evident fatigue, when Kenney opens his mouth his tenor voice is strong and his delivery spirited. Suddenly he seems more a polished orator, less the callow youth he first appeared. Soon, his small Okotoks audience is creeping toward the edge of their seats. He's saying things like: "No taxation without representation!" and "Canada is a country worth saving, but we can only save it by accepting responsibility where the rubber meets the road!" But in the context of the Okotoks high school gym, he's pulling it off, making sense, really making it sound as if saving Canada is something ordinary citizens can roll up their sleeves and get to work on. And the need is great, the danger real, Kenney expounds, urgently and persuasively.

"There is an end to our line of credit. Canada may be 12 to 24 months away from a total fiscal collapse!" He paints a grim picture of rocketing interest rates, a worthless dollar, lost homes and businesses, control by foreign bankers, hyper-inflation. It's all happened, he adds to a murmur of assent because "you people, the wealth producers, the payers, are cut off by the wealth ion-sumers, the special interest groupo. the whole system of politics in Canada! "But we can turn it around," Kenney tt Us them. Taxpayers just have to quit abdicating responsibility to politicians, bu-ieaucrats, public service unions, pub-icly supported interest groups, the me-lia "the governing elites, who are not really looking out for anybody's in-lerest but their own." "We must accept responsibility!" he cries.

A5 1 MIKE STURK, Calgary Herald JOHANNA WEWELER: Daughter showed her love with a gift to last INDEX City woman's gift honors a fun-loving spirit It's a Mother's Day gift for the ages, but the woman it's meant for will never know. She's Agnes Weweler, 89, and she's forever adrift in an Alzheimers fog. But put away the hankies. This is a sad situation, but not, in the end, a tragic one.

Before disease clouded her fine mind, Agnes Weweler had taken a satisfying drink from life's well. Coke and Pepsi would hammer down doors for the chance to bottle the zest and spirit which marked her days. "She did what she wanted," said her only daughter and most ardent fan, Mount Royal College librarian Johanna Weweler. "She had fun with her life. What better epitaph could you have than that?" Before ever posing the question, Johanna had provided an answer.

She committed $20,000 to the MRC Conservatory, to endow a musical scholarship in her mother's name. Each year, the Agnes Peebles Weweler scholarship will go to a student whose work in jazz studies has shown the most marked improvement. Why jazz? Because jazz is a kinetic music which bubbles over with exuberance. It reminds one daughter of how her music-loving mother lived her first 86 years though she was partial to Rita MacNeil and Anne Murray. A country teacher, Agnes stood before classes in Saskatchewan waystops like Keel-er, Actonville, Pasqua, and Bushell Park.

"Those were the days of terrific prairie storms," said Johanna. "She'd have 25-30 kids on her hands, and they couldn't go home. When they were stuck, they were stuck." So Agnes would rummage through the pantry, and find something tomato soup, or sandwich fixings. The kids would huddle around teacher and tuck in for the night, and Agnes would clean up after one chronic bed-wetter come morning.

A terminal lover of learning, Agnes once walked a city elementary school, and took Jeep breath. "There's nothing like a school," she signed, exhaling chalk dust. But when she was 86, Agnes 's brother died, and she entered a tailspin. "She was never the same," Johanna remembered.

On the bus to the funeral in Yorkton, Agnes grew confused. Greyhound authorities sent her home. Back at the Calgary bus depot, she was unable to dial home. Agnes insisted on continuing to live in her own tidy house. But it came to be too much.

She'd insert the house key in her car trunk, and forget what a telephone was for. Now in residence at Foothills Hospital, Agnes Weweler can no longer communicate. But once she loved learning, and her daughter loves her. She proved it by giving a Mother's Day gift to last. She made sugar candy for the youngsters, and poured it over snow for a sno-cone treat.

She collected ants and beaver tails for nature study. A trained librarian, Agnes Weweler set up the first elementary school libraries in the Moose Jaw separate schools. And after a distinguished career of 60-plus years, she retired the first time. "She didn't like it," her daughter smiled. "She paced." Within months, Agnes quit retirement, giving zero days notice.

She worked at the Moose Jaw public library, and set up the first tiny library in Trossochs, Sask. '1 guess it's still there," Johanna said. At 79, her mother grudgingly retired a second time and moved to Calgary. But she didn't slough off. She sewed clothes for the poor, went to concerts and attacked the garden.

She bought lye, and scrounged used motel soap-.
