It appears the mili- tary will be getting its much- needed fleet of "previously- enjoyed" submarines to defend the country against an attack by, who knows, killer whales, maybe. And no, the four subs weren't purchased from the- West Edmonton MaIl, but from Great Britain and at' the highly affordable prée of only $800 million, air conditionlng, power steering and torpedos included. Speculation the government was about to announce the deal'was helghtened after some high-ranking Navy types were spotted leaving a cabinet meeting this week with smiles on their faces- Too polite to laugh? Great Scott!.. The Reformn Party's aborig- mnal affairs critic, Mike Scott (Skeena) had us going for a while. We thought his cal Monday for a public inquiry into an RCMP officer's shoot- ing of Connie and Ty Jacobs on the Tsuu Tina reserve hinted at a new aboriginal- friendly Reform party. We joined in wonderlng along with Indian Affairs Minis ter Jane Stewart who asked, "Whffy is it that only when there is a tragedy or an issue of division the Hon. Member raises issues in support of aboriginal people?" For many, the answer came the next day from the lips of the Scott him- self. "Only an independent inquiry can tell us whether or not the money on this reserve is being spent wisely." Nice to have a friend to lean on when tragedy strikes. Groucho's older brother Saskatchewan NDP MP Lorne Nystrom startled the house with the revelation that Ontario Tory Premier Mike Hanris "is not exactly a raving lefty who reads copies of Kari Marx every night before he goes to bed." He also called on Finance Minister Paul amrplifiers and several seats for minivans along with numerous tools and other assorted items in the auction.

But Martin, a conflrmed cap- ltalist, revealed a hidden socialist streak by suggesting instead that Nystrom lend Harris his c0py of Kari Marx. Situation Ethies 101... Quebec premier and for- mer House of Commoner Lucien Bouchard retumned to Parliament Hill this week apparently to baffle the Hill media- with his unique Canada-ls-not-a- country kind of logic. This time the champion of democracy declared to reporters. that there won't be another refer- endum in Quebec unless the separatists know they can win. "It's not responsible to launcli a referendum when it is lost," he said. So much for democracy. Elvis in disguise?... Like the illusive abom- inable snowman of the Himalayas, Former Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was allegedly spotted thisweek high (as in heîght) on a snow- covered B.C. mountamn slope. Perfectly normal people dlaim to have seen the 78-year-old Trudeau -- described by an astute press gallery colleague as a "Penthouse socialist" - on the slopes of Red Mountain, near Rossland. They mamntain he was on a ski trip wth two of his sons, one of whom, Michel, 22, worked on the mountain this winter as a lift attendant. Sure, sure, it sounds legit. But when eyewtness described the mountain man as "a very affable gentlemian," it proved unequivocally that the T'rudea u sighting was just another hoax. Subsoribe to Orono Weekly Tmes -Dairy producers want product and service informa- tion that is more relevant to their needs and organizations marketing to dairy producers want more and better informa- tion about the producers they are targeting. "Providing that strategic link hetween suppliers and producers ïs the void that DairyREACH(TM) will fîlI," says Bob Wilbur. Wilbur, general manager of Milton-based DairyREACH, a new information management service focused exclusively on the dairy industry, says the suc- cess of the new company is linked to exclusive access to the most qualified database of dairy producers available. Neil Petreny, general manag- er of Ontario Dairy Herd Improvement Corporation con- curs, saying Ontario DHI's own work has confirmed their mem- bership's desire for more rele- vant and better targeted infor- mation. In fact, DairyREACU was developed and launched with the full support of Ontario DHI. "Practical ly speaking, DairyREACH offers industry suppliers data access, direct marketing and market~ research services," says Wilburi.-"Our strategic alliance with Ontario DHI makes us the most com- prehensive source of informa- tion available about dairy pro- ducers in Ontario and we are currently building on this model of service provision to develop similar alliances in other regions across Canada." Petreny explains Ontario DHI's support for DairyREACH as a win-win sit- uation for both Ontario DHI and DairyREACH, but even more importantly for dairy pro- ducers and their suppliers. "The information base that DairyREACH has and contin- ues to build, with our support, will not only provide our orga- nization with new sources of revenue, but will also help us to enhance the programs and services we offer the provinces dairy producers." This will be done, says Petreny, in a way that maintains and protects the confidentiality of individual producers. Wilbur says DairyREACH offers an effective and strategic liaison betwxeen suppliers and producers at a time when resources are becoming ever more limited. "In this day and age, marketers don't have to rely on an extensive in-house network for product and ser- vice distribution or information gathering, provided they have access to the depth -of info rma- tion they need and the know- how to manage it. That, in a nutshell, is what DairyREACH offers the dairy industry."
