Weather, page 2 Sherbrooke Friday, September 13, 1991 50 cents PQ backs fired bus driver By Daniel Sanger QUEBEC (CP) — A 64-year-old school bus driver who was tired last month because he can’t speak French got a boost from an unlikely quarter Thursday — the Parti Québécois.PQ house leader Guy Chevrette condemned Wilbur Sto-well’s dismissal after almost two decades of spotless service shuttling students around the Châteauguay valley, southwest of Montreal.“It’s a bit much to decide after 18 years that he is suddenly a public danger — it’s a bit harsh,” said Chevrette.“People should be more mature about things.” Stowell was fired Aug.13 by a bus company which has a contract with the Huntingdon Roman Catholic school board after the board passed a regulation requiring all bus drivers to have a working knowledge of French.The board said it was a safety measure.Stowell didn’t challenge his dismissal but both French- and English-speaking parents in the area began a petition demanding his reinstatement.In an interview Thursday, Stowell said he was surprised at the amount of support he is receiving, especially that of the PQ which passed the controversial provincial language law in 1977.‘ ‘ I thank them.I never expected any of this,” said Stowell, a member of the English-rights Equality party.Chevrette’s comments followed similar displays of support from the Equality party and a senior Liberal cabinet member a day earlier.‘‘Why do they have to be so mean-spirited?I think they should be more flexible,” said Equality leader Robert Libman.Transport Minister Sam Elkas agreed.JUST ASTONISHED’ “I’m just astonished by this whole thing,” Elkas said.“After 17 years they decide that because a guy can’t speak French he should be canned?I hope the parents keep putting pressure on.” On Thursday, Education Minister Michel Pagé added his voice to the growing opposition to Stowell’s dismissal “I must admit I was quite surprised (to learn of the case).That’s why I asked for a report on it,” he said.Page said he expects the report early next week.Until then he will not say whether his department has the authority to order Stowell’s reinstatement.But that may not be necessa- ry.Stowell is scheduled to meet with the school board and the bus company in an attempt to resolve the case.School board director Jean Beauchamp said Thursday that the meeting will be private but that he will push the bus company to either offer Stowell early retirement or reinstatement.“We can’t suddenly say that security in school buses is not important.But that doesn’t mean Mr.Stowell can’t be rehired,” Beauchamp said.While lamenting the case in general, Chevrette said there was a bright side to it all.“It’s nice to see the French community standing up for him.It shows the reflex (to protect individual rights) is still healthy despite certain germs of racism that have taken root in places, especially in Montreal.” Weekend Inside Townships Week, meet artist Mario Pouliot, who tells

produce a final set of government proposals for constitutional reform.The powerful priorities and planning committee met in Sherbrooke Wednesday and Thursday to put the final touches to a package that Constitutional Affairs Minister Joe Clark has been working on for four months.As he emerged from the meeting Wednesday Clark said the proposal was all but complete.But Prime Minister Brian Mulroney said Thursday there is still some way to go before the proposal is ready.“We made some good progress and when we have it finalized it will be tabled in the House of Commons.I suppose that means that we’re getting there,” Mulroney told reporters after the meeting.NO DIVISIONS The prime minister denied a report in Le Devoir Wednesday that some Quebec ministers had threatened to resign over the constitutional proposals.He also said there were no major divisions in cabinet over the package.“I saw remarkable challenges, I saw interesting positions taken, I saw vigorous debates.But we have men and women who believe strongly in their duty, so it is completely normal that it be that way.” But some divisions were apparent Wednesday.Clark told reporters at the end of the day that cabinet was “almost home” on the package.“There'll be a little bit of editing work done in the next couple of days and then we’ll try and get it to press," he said.MORE WORK Minutes later, Health Minister Benoit Bouchard told the same reporters he thought a lot of work remained to be done.Bouchard, Mulroney’s Quebec lieutenant, said he didn’t see anything he would feel comfortable selling to Quebec in the proposals.“For me, as long as I don’t have a final document that says here is what we are proposing to Canadians and Quebecers, it’s not finished,” he said.Bouchard wouldn’t comment Thursday, saying only that the prime minister speaks for cabinet.Clark left Sherbrooke before the other ministers, without speaking to reporters.No further meetings of the priorities and planning committee are scheduled, Mulroney said, but there will be discussion among various ministers when Parliament resumes next week.Environment Minister Jean Charest also played down divisions in cabinet, and said Thursday the proposal will be ready by the end of September.“Some of the divisions, the stories that were reported yesterday are false, Charest said in an interview.“The government wants to be very prudent.Until we have presented the final document to Parliament it’s not over.” The proposal is expected to include recognition of Quebec as a distinct society, establishing some kind of elected Se nate, and moves toward native self-government.Charest said the government is approaching this round of constitutional negotiations differently than it did with the failed Meech Lake accord.This time the proposal will be taken to the public through a parliamentary committee, and the government expects changes will be made to it.“The debate isn’t going to be the same as Meech Lake at all.The whole approach is different,” he said.Now Créés’ turn for a shopping list By Sandra Rubin MONTREAL (CP) — Armed with this week’s Federal Court of Canada victory, the Cree of northern Quebec say they will insist on years of environmen tal and social studies to determine whether the Great Whale hydroelectric project should go ahead.“These are our conditions.And I’m challenging the government of Quebec and Premier (Robert) Bourassa to accept them,” Matthew Coon-Come, the Grand Chief of the Cree of Northern Quebec, told a news conference Thursday.Among the 12 demands (he Cree have outlined: • Three to five years be set aside for the review process.• Government funding to carry out the reviews be provided — theCree suggest a minimum of $12 million.• Federal and provincial studies be conducted independently.• Cree and Inuit lawyers be permitted to publicly cross-examine Quebec government and Hydro-Quebec experts.• Hydro-Quebec and the government make public all data on Great Whale.• Hearings examine the social, economic and ecological justifications for the project.The Cree demands are all provided for under the terms of the 1975 James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement, which Federal Court of Canada Judge Paul Rouleau ruled Tuesday must be upheld.The court ruled that under the agreement.Ottawa has clear authority to stop any developments which don’t pass the en vironmental test.ARE RULES ‘‘These are the rules of the game,” said Coon Come, a slight, soft-spoken man.“We re saying we’re going to implement what we had agreed to.We need to look at all the economic, social, cultural and financial aspects.“Am I not being reasonable?” The Cree conditions could delay the proposed project indefinitely.The Quebec government has said it must begin building Great Whale in the mid-1990s in order to meet its energy commitments, including export contracts to the United States.But Coon-Come said Thursday the Cree will not allow the review procedure to be rushed.“The experts from Quebec have stated if they want to carry out full environmental assessment studies, it needs at least three or four years.That’s what their own experts say.” Quebec will decide next week whether to appeal the Federal Court ruling to the Supreme Court of Canada.The Cree have been among (he most vocal opponants of the $12.5 billion project, which would divert five rivers and flood an area of northern Quebec three-fifths the size of Prince Edward Island.Coon-Come said he is convinced a complete assessment of the proposed project will satisfy most Quebecers that Great Whale is unnecessary.He refused to say, however, what might happen if the review process gives the massive hydroelectric development the green light.‘‘I really don’t know.We would have to consider that in light of other rights given to us under the James Bay and Nor-then Quebec Agreement.” Coon-Come indicated the Cree are ready to participate in the various environmental and social hearings, even though their opposition to the project By Tom McDougall HALIFAX (CP) — Canada’s native people support Quebec self-determination, even though they had to kill the Meech Lake accord, Ovide Mercredi, chief of the Assembly of First Nations, said Thursday.Speaking to the national constitutional convention of the Canadian Auto Workers union, Mercredi said some Quebecers are expressing concerns that aboriginal people do not support the province’s demands.“That is very wrong,” he said.Meech Lake was effectively scuttled when Premier Clyde remains strong.“Don’t my people have a right to know their secret contracts, which rivers they’re going to divert, where they’re going to build the dams, the airstrips and the gravel pits?” the Wells refused to bring the matter to a vote in the Newfoundland legislature and Elijah Harper, a Cree member of the Manitoba legislature, refused to give consent for an emergency debate on the accord.Mercredi said native actions did not stem from malice or any desire to thwart the collective rights of another people.“We did it for one very specific reason, and that is that Meech Lake did not respect our collective rights as a people and it maintained this lie: that the two founding people in Canada are English and French.” What the first nations wanted was to have the Meech Lake ac- 35-year-old grand chief said emotionally.He warned if the terms of the James Bay agreement are not respected to the letter, the Cree won’t hesistate to turn once again to the courts.cord changed so that it would also reflect that they, too, are distinct pepple, he said.“But that is a far cry from saying we oppose collective rights for the people of Quebec, and that is a far cry from alleging that we do not support their self-determination as a distinct people.” “We still support, as we did then, the constitutional position of that province as a distinct society.” TAKES AIM Mercredi also took aim at a concept held sacred by many Canadians: the rule of law.When aboriginal people See NATIVES:.Page 2.Natives on Quebec’s side in constitutional debate ) 2—The RECORD—Friday.September 13.1»»1 A fond farewell to Bishop Matthews By Teresa Pomerleau LENNOXVILLIE - More than 400 people gathered at St.George’s Anglican Church in Lennoxville Thursday to pay their last respects to Bishop Timothy John Matthews, former bishop of the Diocese of Quebec.Rt.Rev.Matthews, who died Monday at the age of 84, was bishop of the Diocese of Quebec from 1971 to 1977.Rev.Matthews, who had been the parish priest in Len- noxville, came back after his retirement and worked as honorary chaplain at Bishop College School (BCS).Before arriving in Lennoxville in 1971, Rev.Matthews was a priest in Coaticook (1940-1944).in Lac St-Jean (1944-1952) and in the Gaspé (1952-1957).As bishop of the Diocese of Quebec, he ministered to all the Anglican churches in Quebec except those in Montreal.A pioneer in the ecumenical movement, Rev.Matthews reached out to other denominations and encouraged them to work together.EARLY FEMINIST This well-loved man was also aware of women’s issues and was an ardent campaigner to have women ordained as priests.He was the first bishop in his diocese to ordain a woman to the priesthood.Rev.Matthews contributed a great deal of time and effort to the young people of Lennoxville.As rector of St.George’s Church in the 1960s, he sponsored dances in the church hall every Friday night.“Over a hundred kids would come to those dances,” said Canon Lynn Ross, Rector of St.Luke’s Church in Magog.Ross had been one of Rev.Matthews’ assistants after studying theology at Bishop’s Uni-z versity.2 “He was an excellent tea-^cher,” said Ross.i Emotions ran high after the funeral service for the much-beloved former bishop of the Diocese of Quebec.Ross said Rev.Matthews encouraged young people to get involved in church matters by forming a youth synod.: “He had tremendous outreach to young people,” said Ross.The addresses were given by Reverends Maxwell Jones and Heather Thomson.Jones said they were not only losing a great priest but also great friend.He said Rev.Matthews had asked him to speak at his funeral and felt honored by the request.“He was a righteous man,” Jones said in his address.MAN OF COURAGE Thomson said Rev.Matthews touched and changed many lives.She said the bishop was a man of courage who did not hesitate to go anywhere he was needed.He believed in the ordination of women even before the Anglican church accepted women into the priesthood, she said.Thomson told a humorous story about Rev.Matthews’ habit of wandering during his speeches.During one of his wanderings, Thomson’s husband whispered that he thought the bishop would never be able to get back on track.“But after a while, he did go back to his original speech,” Thomson said.Rev.Matthews then turned to the couple and with a slight smile said, “Didn’t think I could do it, huh?” Rev.Robert Bryan of the Lower North Shore diocese, a good friend of the bishop’s, said the first time he saw Rev.Matthews he was “instantly attached to him in the most human way”.Bryan said his first meeting with Rev.Matthews was after his election as bishop.He often flew Rev.Matthews in his plane when they visited the Gaspé.Even after his retirement, Rev.Matthews kept a cottage up there.While looking down at the houses one day, Rev.Matthews commented that their ministry was “to persons not people.” “That’s the kind of man he was — a people person,” said Bryan.Thomson summed it up when she said "Our loss today is great.” A memorial service for Rev.Matthews will be held on Sept.27 at St.George’s Church.Family members of Bishop Timothy Matthews served as pallbearers.Bloc: Don’t worry, we’re not sleeping MONTREAL (CP) — English Canada has been lulled into thinking the sovereigntist fever in Quebec has died down but Quebecers are merely biding their time, Bloc Québécois Leader Lucien Bouchard said Thursday.He issued a warning to those who believe Quebecers, after an emotional outburst at the Meech Lake accord’s failure, are ready to lie down once again and be quiet.“Better watch out when elections come around.” Recent polls indicate that in Quebec the Bloc is by far the most popular of all the federal parties but also suggest that public opinion has shifted slightly in favor of federalism.Bouchard warned Quebecers will express their true feelings in the voting booths, just as they did by electing a Bloc candidate in August 1990 and a Parti Québécois candidate in a provincial byelection last month.It was the first PQ byelection victory ever.He said he doubted the cabinet of Prime Minister Brian Mulroney could come up with acceptable constitutional proposals because it was trying to do two things at once — restore Quebec to the constitutional fold and revamp “all sorts of institutions and powers.” And he urged Quebec Premier Robert Bourassa to have a clear and open idea on what would be acceptable.“On what basis are we going to evaluate the proposals that will come?” Bouchard said the Bloc has began meeting with anglo Quebecers and natives to discuss what their life would be like in a sovereign Quebec.And he lashed out at Canadian embassies for “not lifting a finger” to defend Quebec against “malicious propaganda” levelled at the province’s propsed Great Whale hydroelectric project and its treatment of native people.NATIVES: Continued from page one.make land claims, they have to prove it under a rule of law that excludes them and their laws, he said.And the laws are interpreted within a non-native legal system by non-native judges.The rule of law gives the Crown title to all unowned lands, so governments can issue forestry or mineral permits without consulting natives who have claims to the land.“The underlying title of the Crown does not respect the underlying title of our people, and we cannot make progress on land claims as long as we operate on the basis of those basic principles that are the foundation of Canada as a country.” He came out in favor of collective rights over individual rights.“Why would it be so difficult to build a society that respects the collective rights of distinct peoples in this land ?” he asked.“It would be impossible to build a country like that if we rely on existing ideas.For the preoccupation of most politicians is for individual rights.” Soviet hero cold cuts: Have a slice of brain MOSCOW (AP) — In a temperature-controlled room lined with imported wooden cabinets, the brain of Soviet founder Vladimir Lenin lies in 30,000 slices.Room No.19 of the Brain Research Institute holds the grey matter of many old Bolsheviks, dyed bright colors and smeared on glass slides.But it is only the mind of the Great Thinker, as Lenin is known, that the scientists still revere.Lenin’s brain tissue, as well as that of infamous Soviet figures such as dictator Josef Stalin and revolutionaries Ser- gei Kirov and Mikhail Kalinin, has been lying in secrecy, virtually undisturbed for decades in the crypt-like room.The brains of less controversial public figures, such as the revolutionary poet Vladimir Mayakovsky who committed suicide in 1930, are on display in the institute’s Brain Evolution Museum.The institute has conducted research on the brains of famous people since it opened the year after Lenin’s death in 1924, although study of Lenin’s brain ended more than three decades ago.“They thought that maybe the political figures would have some type of specific brain structure, that their brains would differ greatly from those of other people.But of course, that’s hardly possible,” said Leonid Khaspekov, 47, the institute’s vice-director.BRAINS THE SAME “The brains of gifted people, like poets and musicians, could be different,” he said.“But it’s doubtful that the brains of political figures — not people like Lenin, who was a thinker, but simple people who ended up here under some circums- tances or other — would show any structural differences.” Although Stalin was the last political figure to be added to the collection, the brain of human rights activist Andrei Sakharov, obtained with his wife’s permission, is kept in the institute’s laboratory.“I don’t understand why they decided not to publish the results of the investigations, whether they had an ideological basis or not, especially concerning gifted people like Mayakovsky and (scientist Ivan) Pavlov,” said senior research associate Lydia Malo- feyeva.“With the political figures it’s a bit more understandable.Maybe they were worried they wouldn’t find anything special,” she said, chuckling.In addition to her research work, Malofeyeva has been in charge of upkeep and preservation of the brains in Room No.19 since 1981.Only a few foreigners have ever been allowed into the inner chamber, but the secrecy surrounding the institute’s work has been lifted under reforms that have swept Soviet society, accelerated by last month’s failed hardline coup.In the inner chamber, the glass slides that contain the brain tissue are kept in tall, wooden cabinets lining the walls.Each cabinet, ordered specially from Sweden, contains hundreds of small drawers, with as many as 40 slides to a drawer.Malofeyeva said the only drawback of being head brain-keeper is that until recently she had to maintain complete secrecy about the brains’ existence.Her family and friends knew of them only because of Room No.19’s intricate alarm system.#¦__frg-1 mam CIRCULATION DEPT.819-569-9528 FAX: (819) 569-3945 KNOWLTON OFF.:

DDT bccope What?\ uir him UKII—hnday, September 13.imil—3 The Townships #1___thCj ifecum Merchants meet against language law By Rita Legault STANSTEAD — Merchants here and in the surrounding area are angry with a recent crackdown by the Commission de protection de la langue française.And they aren’t going to take it any more.Many businesspeople have decided to combine compliance with the law and a series of protests.More than 30 Three Villages merchants visited by language law inspectors during the past few weeks gathered Thursday with a local lawyer to discuss what they can do.The troubles with the langage agency began after a group of self-appointed language inspectors called Action Quebec descended on the quiet border communities to take photos of offending signs and give them to the inspectors.Realtor Gordon Rowe, who owns five offices in the Eastern Townships, had visits at all his locations.A notice from the Commission told him to remove the word “realtors” and one 3 by 5-inch bilingual notice in the doorway of his Sutton office.VOICING OBJECTIONS Rowe said he can’t afford the time or money to go to court.“We’ve complied,” he said, “but we’re voicing our objections wherever we can.” Lawyer Jacqueline Kouri told the merchants with bilingual signs that’s exactly what they should do.She said they are breaking the law and there is little else they can do but complain.“You don’t really have a defence,” Kouri said, adding that the law is clear and judges have no discretionary powers.Kouri suggested that mer- chants either comply with orders to remove English signs or contest them one by one.She said those who don't want to comply can simply wait for the Commission to press charges.After that they can either comply or plead guilty and await the outcome of a court challenge of Bill 178 by constitutional lawyer Julius Grey, she said.She said that test case will set an important precedent and is to be heard in late October.She said the case will likely be appealed by the losing side, but added that changes to the law are expected in 1992.APPEAL TO POLITICIANS In the meantime, she suggested that merchants appeal to Premier Robert Bourassa, MNA Robert Benoit, and Public Security Mionister Claude Ryan, who is responsible for applying the language law.She said Ryan reads all his personal mail.“I don’t think a lot of publicity is a good idea," she said, suggesting that reporters be asked not to write about the meeting.“It’s like waving a red flag," she said.But merchants in the room disagreed.They said they won’t stand by and allow their rights to be trampled on.“Why do we kneel down and give in to Quebec?” asked Stanstead realtor Pat Deslande, one of many merchants who had a visit from the language inspector last week.“We should get together and fight this bill together, not just one by one,” he said.Local businesswoman and former Townshippers’ Association president Della Good-sell suggested a more concerted protest, including pasting the words “censored” or "humiliation” across English on signs, preparing a petition and sending letters to politicans at all levels.Goodsell also suggested a plea to Alliance Quebec and Townshippers’ to take up the cause.FRENCH SUPPORT She suggested that merchants seek the help of French-speaking colleagues and neighbors.“It’s important that the government knows we have the support of the French community,” Goodsell said.“We haven’t been very good at asking them for it.” A half dozen of the merchants at the church-hall meeting were francophones who said they should be allowed to post bilingual signs.They say 85 per cent of their customers are English-speaking and they have to deal with many American tourists.Kouri said merchants should appeal to the government on the basis of their special situation straddling theU.S.border.But Dr.Allen Fein of Ayer’s Cliff said they should not protest on the basis of their own individual concerns."The law is wrong whether we are 80 per cent of 30 per cent English," he said.“We should say that we in the Eastern Townships disagree with the law — not just as it is applied here but as it is applied throughout Quebec.” Deslande said Townships merchants should involve others from across Quebec in a protest.“We have to voice our concerns and not just sit here and take it like sheep,” he said.“We have to say no, this is it, we're sick of this.” Gaspard takes a hike for mental health 4k By Rita Legault SHERBROOKE — Whether it’s depression, phobias, psychosis, schizophrenia, stress or anxiety, one-in-five Quebecers is likely to suffer from a mental illness.And those statistics are on the rise.But despite its prevalence in today’s society, mental illness is still the subject of a fierce taboo and little money is spent looking into causes and treatments.Quebec’s mental health foundation is trying to change that through public information and by funding research.This weekend members of the Fondation des Malades Mentales and local mental health groups will be on hand at the Carrefour de l’Estrie to demystify mental illness and raise money for research and local help groups.WALK-A-THON The main fundraising event, Gaspard Bourque.7 had to hide my identity.’ sponsored by the Caisses d'économie Desjardins, will be a walkathon by Gaspard Bourque, a former mental patient who went public to help people who are or have been mentally ill.When Bourque, now 43, was released from a mental institution where he was treated for alcohol abuse and overeating, one of the few people who welcomed him was his coach.At the time Bourque weighed 266 pounds with a 44-inch waistline.He said he used physical fitness as his road back to mental and physical health.Bourque said re-integration into society wasn’t easy.“Everybody looks at you differently,” he said.“They worry that you will have a relapse.” TRUTH HIDDEN “I had to hide my identity as an ex-mental patient for ten years or risk losing my job,” Bourque said.Eventually he quit his job and now works to help other mental patients overcome their illnesses and return to active society.Gaspard will be walking for 30 hours — 10 hours a day — at the Carrefour.So far 17 hours have been sponsored by various organizations and individuals.Through the walkathon, which the public is invited to join, the organization hopes to raise $15,000.Half the money will go to three local mental health groups : La Cordée Transit de jour, a self-help group and halfway home for ex-mental patients, La Fondation JEVI, which helps prevent suicide among young people, and L’Associa t/on des parents et amis des malades mental de l’Es-trie, a support group for family members.SUPPORT GROUPS The remaining money will go to the Fondation des Malades Mentales, which funds re search into mental illnesses, informs the public about men tal illness to break traditional taboos, and supports organizations which help ex-mental patients re-adapi to society.Foundation president Dr Yves Lamontagne said that when the cost of treating pa tients is considered he doesn't know why the province doesn’t spend more on mental health research.A mental health researcher, he said Quebec spends $1 billion a year to treat the mentally ill.He said half those in hospital between 20 and 44 years of age suffer from one type of mental illness or another.He said mental illness costs society another billion indirectly from lost work time, court cases and other related expenses.But Lamontagne said the fight is not a popular cause.He said that at election campaign time all the politicians visit hospitals to shake the hands of mental patients.“After all they are voters.” DISAPPEARING ACT Rut come election day, he said the politicians disappear for another four years.One exception is MP Jean Charest, honorary president of this year’s Sherbrooke area campaign.Charest said at the news conference that as a young criminal lawyer he witnessed the damage mental health has wrought on society.He said public figures should join the cause of demystifying mental illness.Charest has also been scheduled for a one-hour walk with Bourque Friday morning at 10.Other local personalities, politicians and business leaders will also join the walk.There will also be information boots and a series of lunchtime talks on mental health.CHARMES gets grants By Steve Meurice SHERBROOKE — Plans to make Jacques-Cartier beach swimmable and Magog River cleaner got a boost Thursday when a hefty federal grant was announced.The Comité d’hygiène et d’assainissement des rivières Magog et St-François (CHARMES) will get $140,000 from the Environment Department under its Environmental Partners Fund program.Mat- ching funds are provided by the city, CHARMES, and other contributors.CHARMES plans to create a water garden near the beach which will help get rid of some of the weeds that have long plagued the shoreline.“The pollution in this case is nutrients and nutrients are good for plant growth.We just want to manage the plant growth,” said CHARMES spokesman André Proulx.AESTHETIC FUNCTION The flowering plants that CHARMES puts in the water, which will rise above the water line, will help kill the weeds by depriving them of shade, Proulx said.Nutrients from the decomposing weeds will feed more desireable plants.“It will have an esthetic as well as a conservation function,” Proulx said.The other project would create artificial marshes on Murder hearing postponed SHERBROOKE (DH) — A Sherbrooke man charged with murdering his ex-girlfriend was in court Thursday but delays in getting police reports forced a postponement of the proceedings until the defence and Crown attorneys can exchange evidence.Jean-Paul Provost, 44, will have a date set for his preliminary hearing Sept.16.Wanted: Police are still on the lookout for Jean-François Gagné, who escaped from the Sherbrooke provincial jail on Talbot Street Monday evening.Gagné, 28, threw a toilet through his cell window, got into the prison yard and scaled two 5-metre fences to make his escape.He is considered dangerous.Anyone with information on his whereabouts is urged to call provincial police at (819) 564-1212.Provost is charged with the pre meditated slaying of Manon Leblanc, 29.Leblanc’s body was found in late August in her apartment at 1243 Woodward Street in Sherbrooke.She had been shot at least twice.Defence lawyer Conrad Chapdelaine said Thursday that police reports on the shooting won’t be ready until sometime after Sept.23.Provost has also been charged with breaking-and-entering, making death threats, using a dangerous weapon, pointing a firearm and violating probation.Provost has pleaded not guilty to all charges.Drinking and Driving for water-weed control tributaries of the Magog river.The marshes will help purify the water as it heads to the river.“They act as natural filters,” Proulx said.The two projects have been in the works for six months, Proulx said.Although some effects may be visible as early as next summer the project will take two or three years to complete, he said.$4.5 MILLION The two are among 18 projects in Quebec selected by the Environment Department to receive grants this year.In all the program has handed out over $800,000 in the province.Across Canada the total was $4.5 million.The program provides up to 50 per cent of a project’s cost up to $200,000.The rest of the money must come from municipalities, citizens’ groups or other sources.The money is used for conservation and clean-up projects, habitat rehabilitation, composting and recycling programs and other awareness programs.Environment Minister Jean Charest was on hand for the an nouncement Thursday.“The program has the advantage of reflecting local needs,” .Charest said in a short speech.; ‘The communities decide themselves what’s important for their area.” The Comité du ruisseau d’Or also received a grant of $50,000 from the Fund for work on the Rock Forest outdoor recreation center.The group will use the grant, as well as $349,000 from the city of Rock Forest and other contributors, to help stop erosion on the banks of the Ruisseau d’Or.Gaston Naessens fined for medicine SHERBROOKE — A biologist who says he has developed a cure for AIDS and cancer was fined $2100 Thursday after he pleaded guilty to illegally practising medicine in 1988 and 1989.Gaston Naessens, 68, was acquitted of another 15 charges by Quebec Court Judge Gérard Rouleau.The complaints against Naessens were filed by the Quebec College of Physicians and Surgeons.Naessens, who has no medical degree, says the serum he invented, called 714-X, has worked for many people suffe- ring from cancer or the fatal acquired immune deficiency syndrome.Naessens was found guilty of 10 similar charges on June 13, 1990, and was fined $5000.A civil suit in which Naessens is seeking $300,000 from the College of Physicians and $100,000 from the Quebec Police Force is expected to be heard next year.Missing woman turns up SHERBROOKE — Police have located a missing woman whose abandoned car was found in Wotton.Martine Richard, 32, was reported missing by Montreal Urban Community police on Aug.31, a week after her car was found by officers from the Wecdon detachment of the Quebec Police Force.Richard contacted police after she found out police were looking for her.She had been staying with a friend in Barford.TAKE A STAND.Régie de l'assurance automobile du Québec I—Thr RECORD—Friday, September 13, 1991 —___fogl mam The Voice of the Eastern Townships since 1897 Editorial Rural youths have to learn to speak French Earlier this week demographer Gary Caldwell said that for the English community of the Eastern Townships to survive, school administrations must make a greater effort to equip students with French-language skills.Unfortunately, the level of French taught in English schools is not sufficiently high to give graduates a real chance in Quebec’s marketplace.Therefore many anglophone parents and youths, like myself, decide it’s important to attend French schools to get a reasonable grounding in the province’s main language of business.But by choosing French schools over English ones, anglophone youths take away funding from important English institutions, which have an increasingly tough time surviving — especially in rural areas.While I received most of my secondary education in a French Polyvalente, I wonder if it would be a wise decision to send my children to a French school knowing full well that English ones are suffering from declining enrolment.Between 1972 and 1990, enrolment in English schools fell by 57 per cent.During the same period, it dropped by 24 per cent in French shcools.We are left with a difficult choice: do we sacrifice the future of our children by not giving them sufficient training to survive in a mainly French community, or do we sacrifice the future of all-important anglophone institutions?Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.Right now, this is an insoluble dilemna.But there is hope for the future if we speak up and speak up now.Quebec, which has commissioned a task force on the future of English schools in Quebec, must look at softening the impact of Bill 101, which has cut the number of students eligible to attend English schools.The commission, headed by journalist Gret-ta Chambers, must also look at the quality of French-language courses and what effect they have on dropping enrolment.But our real hope is in the attitude of our future generation.Quebec youths must understand the importance of learning French, of speaking it well and of being able to work in French.Even today you meet many young Quebecers who were born and raised in this province yet they can barely speak French.Many of them plan to leave the province anyway, but those who intend to stay are hurting their chances at a profitable future.Let’s face it, the days where unilingual anglophones could survive, especially in rural areas, are disappearing fast.Gone are the days when a tiny anglophone minority called the shots and held the best jobs.There is some sympathy for those unilingual elderly people who grew up in a different Quebec, but today’s youth will have to be more than just functionally bilingual to make a future in a rapidly changing Quebec.Ironically, the anglophone population of the Eastern Townships will only survive if it learns French.Meanwhile, francophones think they can save their language by denying all others exist.RITA LEGAULT Letter Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free Dear sir.Is the letter writer who is so sure that her relatives have gone to heaven a member of some worldly sect which includes in its teachings traditions of men?It is satan the devil, the invisible ruler of the present world system of things (2 Corinthians 4:4), who is the author of the immortal soul idea of some kind of an imaginary, invisible something without substance which is supposed to automatically come into existence after the death of a body, to either go to heaven, or to some kind of a purgatory or hell to suffer.Jesus and the Bible writers, on the other hand, held out the hope of a resurrection, which means being brought back to life in the paradise of pleasure for most humans.For a predetermined number (144,000 Revelation 7:4) there is a different resurrection to heaven.These are the apostles and TtfeY Wefts aft6Uitf LENNOXVILLE-30 Lome.Split-level, 3 bedrooms, kitchen, dining
