The Windsor Star from Windsor, Ontario, Canada • 4

THE WINDSOR STAR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1983 A4- Police capture- Corrections Wrong phone number The correct phone number for The Plum Cake, mentioned in Gloria Galloways food column in Wednesdays Star, is 253-0835. Wrong identification A story in Thursdays Windsor Star about Salvadorans in Windsor protesting the civil war in that country, incorrectly said that Jose Orantes was a member of a socialist group at a university in El Salvador. It should have said he was a member of a sociology group at the university. Continued from A1 Nelson-Miramichi, a few km south of Newcastle and 150 km north of Pe-titcodiac. Its not me! Its not me! Dont shoot! the driver shouted after jumping from the truck, poice said.

THE MAN had been held at gunpoint, police said. Witnesses said Legere was spread-eagled on the cold pavement before being handcuffed and taken away. They were pretty emotional about the whole thing, said a local resident who tapped into police scanners. They were really cautious, very cautious. You dont blame them.

At the scene, RCMP tactical squad members seized a .308 lever-action Browning rifle, emptying five cartridges on to the pavement next to the truck. Police also seized a leather belt with a knife pouch on it, a large Swiss army knife, a pair of binoculars, a brown leather wallet and a beige wool cap. The evidence was photographed and carefully bagged as other police officers cordoned off the scene with yellow ribbon. In Newcastle, a small crowd gathered In the cold outside the police station this morning as Legere and the truck driver was being questioned inside. Throughout the area, people cheered.

Outside (the station), people are just driving by, beeping their horns, as if to say Thank you for getting him, said an exuberant MacLean, a Mirami-chi resident himself. Great! Now we can get on with their lives." stabbing Rust jailed in L.A. Times Service HAMBURG, West Germany (DPA) Mathias Rust, the amateur pilot who landed a light aircraft in Moscows Red Square, was arrested Thursday for stabbing a nurse, police said. Profile of a killer Lake rescues Broadbent Continued from A1 intended to promote by any legal means the goals of the United Nations International Bill of Human Rights in developing nations. That bill covers all human rights declarations ever adopted by the UN.

Appointment of the president and nine other directors had to be vetted by a seven-member independent committee led by former Tory MP Gordon Fairweather, one-time chairman of the federal Human Rights Commission and now head of the Immigration and Refugee Board. But the final decisions were made by Monique Landry, the minister responsible for the Canadian International Development Agency, and External Affairs Minister Joe Clark. Broadbent seems well-suited for the job. He has long championed human rights in the House of Commons. In 1981, he led a two week fact-finding mission into the civil war in El Salvador for Socialist International.

While he and the other directors who have not yet been named will report through Landrys agency, the centre is a Crown corporation and will largely operate outside of the government. Its creation was supported by all three political parties. A report by two academics that led to the centres founding said it should be in Ottawa and have formal links to the University of Ottawas Human Rights and Education Centre. When asked by a Senate committee last year why Montreal was picked, Landry offered little explanation. "There is nothing unusual about locating this agency in Montreal, especially since there are a great many non-governmental human rights organizations in the Montreal area," she said.

The $1 million allocated to run the centre this year will remain frozen until the board is set up. The governments annual contribution will gradually rise to $5 million. The centre will also seek funds from the private sector. Sources said the NDP leader had the announcement of his appointment delayed fearing the news could sour the mood at next week's leadership convention. When New Democrat Ian Deans left the Commons in 1986 to accept an ap- pointment as head of the federal Public Service Staff Relations Board, some party members charged he was selling out to the Tories.

At the hospital in Chatham, news of Legeres capture was announced over the public address system prompting a spontaneous party in the cafeteria where free coffee and doughnuts were served. MacLean said RCMP helicopters were back in the air this morning looking for a man in a green jacket MacLean said he believed it could be the man police suspected of being Legeres accomplice. LEGERE WAS serving a life sentence for murdering an elderly shopkeeper before his escape. Soon after, another shopkeeper, 75-year-old Annie Flam of Chatham, was found beaten to death in her partially burned home. Her sister-in-law, Nina, survived the attack.

Legere is also the prime suspect in the beating deaths of two middle-age sisters in mid-October and the killing last week of a 69-year-old priest, killed in his home beside his church in the small village of Chatham Head. Conrad Landry, New Brunswicks solictor general, summed up the feeling of residents this morning: I feel great. "Im relieved for the people of the Miramichi, I think they'll be able to sleep tonight. Theyve gone through sheer hell the last few months. Police would not comment on possible motives for the recent killings beyond saying that Legere made it well known during his years in prison that he intended to car out a vendetta against the community that feared and ultimately convicted him.

The day Legere was charged with the 1986 killing, more than 100 people gathered at the courthouse, some shouting, "Hang him." If his vendetta was intended to terrorize the tight-knit communities along the Miramichi region, he succeeded well. Many residents took to sleeping with loaded guns beside their beds. in his trial received threatening letters from Legere. Crown prosecutor Fred Ferguson, who succeeded in having Legere convicted in 1987, had been under police protection. MacLEAN DESCRIBED Ferguson "as one happy man" when they ran into each other this morning at the police station.

Extra police were brought in to work on the case and calm jittery residents, and even Premier Frank McKenna returned to his Chatham riding from Fredericton to offer support and show he wasnt afraid. Continued from A3 said. "So there was pressure on them to move it The cutter in Tobermory was chosen to make the union statement because it also services the Georgian Bay area. Beasley said three crew members left for home Thursday and the last was to leave today. There are other resources available should there be an emergency in the area, said Fred Perkins, regional manager of the governments search-and-rescue operations, in an interview from his Toronto home.

He said the government has already begun notifying the Ontario Provincial Police in the area, members of the volunteer Canadian Marine Rescue Auxil NEWCASTLE, N.B. (CP) By the time he was captured by police early today, Allan Legere had taken on mythical stature. He was the midnight stalker standing at the foot of your bed; he was the cold-blooded killer no lawman could catch. With each unsolved murder, Allan Legere's reputation for cunning and violence grew. Was he a hardened criminal on the run from justice? 1 Was he the bogey man? Legere, 41, grew up just across the river from Newcastle in the tiny community of Chatham Head.

People say he had a hectic childhood, growing up in a house filled with an assortment of family members. He was considered a fine machinist and did good work restoring old cars. Somewhere along the line, the stocky, dark-haired man started to run into trouble with the law, racking up a string of convictions for break and enter, assault, theft and possession of stolen goods. In 1987, he was convicted of the brutal beating death of John Glenden-ning, an elderly shopkeeper. He and two young accomplices were sentenced to life for the crime.

Legere Insisted he was innocent and swore vengeance on the people who sent him to prison. Being Canadian- Continued from A1 The Leons have had no contact with them since heavy fighting between the army and the Marxist-lead Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front rebels broke out in San Salvador earlier this month. My mom, she cries all of the night, Morena said. Its a happy time for this, she said about becoming a Canadian citizen, and its a sad time for whats happening over there. YOU MAY ask: Am I lily white? he wrote In a letter to the Moncton Times-Transcript.

Of course not, but no violence." But violence has become synonymous with Allan Legeres name since a string of murders began in this tightly knit part of New Brunswick. Just days after he escaped from guards in Moncton last May, an elderly shopkeeper was killed, her sister-in-law savagely beaten. Then two middle-age sisters were killed; an elderly priest was murdered. Police identified Legere as the prime suspect in all four killings and said they believed he had an accomplice. The crimes were so violent that seasoned police officers were horrified.

Was Legere, a good talker with an engaging personality, behind the savagery? "He had what youd call a split personality you could talk to him one day and the next hed just glare at you, said a Chatham police officer familiar with the killer. Not everyone sees Legere as a monster, an untamed beast out of control. His former parole office recently said he always found Legere to be a gentleman. He certainly is a deep thinker and friendly on the street, said Bob Ross in an interview. Hes not a recluse or anything like that.

Ross remembers Legere as an amateur artist who sent him paintings and drawings. The art hangs on Rosss wall. Two themes persist: Don Quixote and his windmills and Arctic scenes. I think he relates to people in difficulty and sympathizes with the underdog, possibly seeing himself in the same way, said Ross. For instance, the Eskimos struggling in a world beyond their control." IT IS A confusing portrait of Legere: a bit of a philosopher, a good talker and a man gifted with the facility to be friendly when he feels it necessary and vicious when there is something he wants.

"Legere possesses the verbal communication skills necessary to play the system and has been quite adept at doing so, said a Correctional Service report on his escape. For a while, Legere managed a Chatham bar, the Zodiac, that was infamous for the brawls that frequently took place. A high-school dropout, he married twice and had at least two children. He was known as an experienced woodsman who knew the Miramichi area like the back of his hand. Doctors said the nurse, who was not named, was in a critical condition.

The incident happened at about 3 p.m. in the Red Cross hospital in Ris-sen, a suburb of Hamburg. Rust was arrested 45 minutes later, police said. iary, Canadian Forces Base Trenton and the coast guard operation in Parry Sound who they could call on in an emergency. ANYONE GOING out on the water should consider response time in an emergency would be longer.

Without the resources there is increased risk but it is difficult to quantify," Perkins said. "Most people realize the risk this time of year anyway," he said, referring to the deadly cold water temperatures. Because of that, it's the slowest time of year and and the cutters were scheduled to be pulled out of the water in the next two weeks anyway. The 5,500 federal ships crews walked off the job Nov. 14.

The Leons were among 29 people from 17 countries who became Canadian citizens Thursday in Windsor. Its only in the last several years that a lot of Salvadorans have been coming to the Windsor area, said Normand Rainville, manager of the immigration centre. Theres an average of one family from El Salvador a week taking an oath of Canadian citizenship here in the last year, Judge Meconi said. sor, compared to a norm elsewhere of about five per cent, he said. He described that as under-storing thats rarely found in Canada.

Another edge is that Windsor generates one of the highest volumes of sales-per-square-foot of retail space in Canada Ottawa is the leader, with Windsor close behind, Kircher said. Advisory committee member and City Councillor Dwight Duncan praised Cambridges expansion plans.

The ministry has conducted its own investigations of business practices at other school boards but they did not follow police investigations, he said. There are too many ifs at this point to predict what action the ministry could take if charges are laid, Cyze said. Cooper, Brace and Halberstadt said they are concerned about the administration's accountability for spending board funds, administering tender calls, and a per-pupil cost of education which is among the provinces 10 highest.

Cooper said she is uncomfortable with a policy which allows the business superintendent or purchasing department to spend up to $10,000 without approval from trustees. You can have a lot of those entries that never go to the board for approval," she said.

The city has about 372,000 square metres of retail space now, and the Tecumseh Mall expansion would add less than five per cent to the total, which would minimize its overall impact, Kircher explained. Devonshire Mall with its 170 stores would remain the citys biggest mall, still twice the size of Tecumseh Mall even after its expansion. Lockwood conceded Cambridge has had problems keeping its Roundhouse Centre, opposite Devonshire fully occupied, but was confident a new marketing plan would improve its operation. KRAZY KELLY HAS RIGHT TO DISCLAIM. 944-4355 Continued from A3 meeting.

Cambridge has long-range plans for a further addition, but Lock-wood said its too soon to speculate about the number of stores or space that might be added.

No one wants to be stuck with thousands of dollars worth of inventory at year end. A recent Touche Ross survey of the country's retailers indicated 39 per cent of respondents expect overall economic conditions to worsen in coming months. It's a dramatic increase from the 15 per cent who expressed that view in last years annual survey by the consulting firm. Sixty per cent of the retailers said they expect inflation to increase next year, compared to only two per cent who think it will decline. And only 17 per cent said they expect retail profits will grow next year.

British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba are the only provinces which have had higher growth in total retail sales this year than in 1988.
