Spaces have already been filled with a mixture of youth and adults.The group will begin with Penny’s first release, “Still Life,” and hopefully will follow the series through to today’s release, her seventh book.The party held August 27 was three days before the North American release date but Brome Lake Books with the help of Minotaur Books publishing made the event possible with give-away copies to ticket holders that Louise Penny autographed with enthusiasm for all attending.The event was held in the afternoon from 2:00 to 4:00p.m.with a wonderful crowd of Gamache enthusiasts filling the book store and lined up along the parking lot outside.I first met Penny, the former CBC radio host, in my early years as the Youth Director when I had the pleasure of being interviewed by her on several different occasions and subjects.Louise Penny is now a New York Times bestselling author, an unprecedented fourtime winner of the Agatha Award, winner of the Barry, the Arthur Ellis and the Dagger for Best Mystery.Louise now lives in Sutton with her husband Michael and their golden retriever Trudy.Louise is the honorary spokesperson for Knowlton WordFest and was the keynote speaker at the sold out closing event, The Peter Gzowski Fundraising dinner for literacy this summer.Louise Penny’s mystery is being released in French this August and is entitled, “Le Mois Le Plus Cruel.” This summer PEI has chosen her first book, “Still Life,” for their One Book/One Island reading event.Louise A “Penny” for your thoughts will travel to PEI this September to join in the celebrations there.Brome Lake Books must be congratulated for their initiative in having an event for each of Louise Penny’s seven books: an event that has held a surprise element to highlight the theme in the book as a treat for the guests.This event was no exception.For the youth from the Missisquoi North Youth Centre located in Mansonville who attended the event, the chance to meet Louise Penny and share the enthusiasm of those celebrating the 7th book release has made them hungry to begin their journey with “Still Life,” in September.By book’s end, they will no doubt be shouting, “Long Live Gamache!”

Another demonstration was held on Tuesday where all of the university’s unions were present, totalling almost 1,000 people.Both sides had met on Monday for a negotiation meeting that ended up going much longer than planned, but despite the long talks the union said that progress was not significant enough to bring an end to the strike that they triggered last Friday.Syndicate president Stéphane Caron is starting to take on an “anything necessary” approach to the whole situation.“We will continue to hold consecutive strikes until a proper deal is brought to our attention.If they decide to hold a meeting we will attend but the offer has to be different than the ones they’ve presented us in the past.” Caron said in a statement.On the student side of things, the demonstration, supposedly organized to show disapproval of thcancellation of graduation ceremonies never took place.Despite the strike, the return to school appeared to have gone as well as possible.Arguably the biggest and most important protest to date took place at noon on Wednesday as the support staff had reinforcements to picket.Researchers, lecturers, professors and engineers all joined the support staff representing the employees and support staff union.Altogether, five unions, representing 5300 of the school’s 6700were represented in the demonstrations, unions which overall represent 5300 of the 6700 employees.Despite claims that nearly 1000 employees would be present at the protest, reports claim that not even about half that amount were actually present at Wednesday’s protest.Despite that, traffic was disrupted in the area with the large number of demonstrators present and police were also on hand to keep the protestors on the grassy areas of the campus rather than spilling into the streets.“There were no real incidents or cases in which we had to get involved throughout the entire protest,” an SPS spokesperson told the Record.Furthermore the student-organized events that were supposed to take place at the university’s concert hall, the Vieux Clocher de L’UdeS, was also cancelled on Wednesday night due to the strike.Salaries remain at the core of the dispute and both sides are now scheduled to meet again for negotiations on September 6, 8 and 9.About 1300 members of the university’s support staff have now been without contract for almost 32 months.MABLE HASTINGS

Beef festival promotes country -western lifestyle People who hate country and western music, cowboy hats and boots, horses and good quality beef should stay away from the town of Inverness this week and weekend.From Aug.30 to Sept.4, the town is holding its annual beef festival and expects thousands of country and western enthusiasts."We have been holding this festival since 1981 and it always draws in a large crowd,' ' said organizer Etienne Wal-ravens." It is not just a celebration of our locally-grown beef industry, but the rural and country lifestyle we have and our proud of.' ' The five-day festival will hold many events involving horses, including two rodeos, weight pulling, barrel racing, gymkhana competitions and parades.' ' Our rodeos are becoming popular with the rodeo circuit in Canada,' ' added Walravens."We have a lot of competitors coming in from Ontario and other provinces.It is not just a local competition.' Surrounding those events will be numerous spaghetti and beef suppers, as well as square and line dancing, bingo and constant music."We have some 70 musicians coming,' ' said Walravens."There will be numerous concerts and dances they will be playing in.A lot of them are country players, but there will be some rock and roll music as well.' ' The featured event for the festival is the Saturday parade, which takes up the main street of the town, starting at noon.The parade usually stretches for at least two miles and includes hundreds of horses and riders, floats, fancy trucks, old tractors, mascots and the festival beauty queens.In the past, the festival has drawn upwards of 20,000 visitors to this town of 900 residents.The revenue from the festival is used to finance local charities.For more information and entry fees, check the festival website WWW.Festivalduboeuf.com, or call 418-453-2538.Michel Puval Advertising Cohsultant Serving the entire fastern Townships with three publications RECORD ’ townships Outlet ^ One number 819 569-9525 mduval@sherbrookerecord.conn newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record Page 4 Thursday, September 1, 2011 Col oimmiiis t With first children, parents experience their firsts as well: first day of school, first driver's licence, first brush with the law.Every first feels like a milestone.Whoosh! There goes another one! Ross Murray Having attended Cegep for all of a week, our middle daughter announced Sunday that she needed to get home.She was sitting at our kitchen table at the time.“Uh, Katie?” her mother said.“You are home.” I’m sure it was one of those statements that, the moment it left her mouth, she wished she could quickly reach out and grab before it reached its destination.But there it was: this isn’t her home anymore.Instead, our house - the place where she has lived for 17 years - is what she probably thinks of as “additional storage.” I’m not bitter.That’s just the way it is.She lives in residence now.Rez.Despite her quaint notions that refrigerators are self-refilling and that noisy neighbours are interesting neighbours, she is essentially taking care of herself.She is caller of the domestic shots, master of the domain, ignorer of the dirty bathtub.She can eat ice cream right out of the container to her heart’s content or (to be specific) without me yelling at her to get a bowl.Those dirty dishes can stay piled in the sink for as long as she pleases or until one of her roommates cracks.Such is her life - her unsupervised, nag-free life - in her new home.It’s heaven with cafeteria privileges.This brings the tally of children out of the house to two, and it’s becoming clear to me: this is a trend.When our eldest daughter first moved out to live the bohemian lifestyle of a Lennoxville renter, it seemed part of the natural order, not so much for Emily, but for us as parents.With first children, parents experience their firsts as well: first day of school, first driver’s licence, first brush with the law.Every first feels like a milestone.But then it happens again with the next child.A few weeks ago, I crashed at Emily’s Montreal apartment for the first time.Normally, I wouldn’t use a word like “crash” because it makes me sound like I’m trying to be a hip, cool daddio instead of the creaky-hipped, uncool daddy-oh-no that I am.But when you have to remove a pile of clothes from a sofa in order to sleep on it, and if the owner of said clothes is uncertain whether they’re his clean clothes or his dirty ones, that’s crashing.Granted, Emily and her roommates had just moved in.The place was in transition, the way puberty is a transition -uncoordinated, messy, full of surprises and a touch smelly.But I tried not to judge, not even pas-sive-aggressively.For instance, when I discovered there was no hand soap in the bathroom, I didn’t go out and purchase hand soap for her.That would have been like saying, “Your health standards are lax, but, don’t worry, I’m here.” Instead, I just quietly adapted, mainly using shampoo.I did want to help, though, so I bought her a coffee grinder for the organic fair-trade beans she likes.She dqes-n’t have hand soap, but she has posh coffee.Oh, and I bought a bathmat, but that was purely for safety reasons.I look at her life and remember my first squalid apartments - beach towels as curtains, crooked doorframes, pizza boxes as art.What an invigorating, liberating time of life, wrapped in the chunky embrace of chaos and disorder -until you realize your mother was right and that it is easier to live when laundry is neatly folded and properly put away.Emily has been living through that excitement for a while and Katie’s just had her first taste.And, what’s that?Whoosh! There goes James! Whoosh! Abby’s gone and pierced her tongue.They’ll all have new homes before we know it, of varying degrees of squalor, I’m sure.Each first, for them, will be the thrill it should be.As for us, we’ll just be glad they’re happy, and we’ll be right here, ready to make this their home whenever they want it to be, or more likely, when they need something, like laundry perhaps - neatly folded and properly put away.Marois says PQjnust end internal crisis and unite By Jocelyne Richer The Canadian Press Pauline Marois has had enough of the crisis in the Parti Québécois and says it’s time for members to show some discipline.The PQ leader began a two-day meet- ‘Thanks to your donations coNffttin TION «JïNWWt* » Va hospital CHUS - Fleurimont department Neonatology Unit Warming Beds for Infant Care Your generosity has enabled the CHUS Foundation to acquire two Giraffe® Omnibeds for the neonatology unit.These warmers are highly useful because of their many features, including an integrated pulse oximeter to continuously monitor the baby's blood oxygen saturation, a controlled warming system to maintain temperature, a tray for taking x-rays without having to move the newborn, and an integrated electronic scale.The adjustable base ensures a comfortable working height for caregivers.These beds are easy to use and their many features make it possible to assess tiny patients and to intervene rapidly,if needed.investment Follow us on $52 000 Fondation CwnttiKftmuiiB ,1ffe 0: tNTO tftmmt W SMXMKRHvt MP ::!!!!

The Record j newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, September 1, 2011 Pages Lennoxville development project not a hit with all residents Tree cutting raises concerns By Jesse Feith Lennoxville residents have voiced their disapproval to the Record of a residential development project currently underway in the Champigny and Beattie Street area of the borough.The City of Sherbrooke has recently begun cutting down trees in the area to begin work on the new Marjorie Donald Street which will be constructed, running from Willowdale to Champigny.As of now, 32 lots have been purchased around the new street.One resident told the Record he believes the work seems a little out of line “they have begun clearing the back of my property, cutting down any trees that would seem to be in the project’s way,” said Alfred Whittier, a resident of Champigny Street.“Beautiful white pine trees are being cut down and stacked up as we speak.Some of them are so big and so beautiful, we’re talking nearly 150-year old trees here,” added Whittier, clearly concerned about the whole project.Whittier believes he isn’t alone in feeling the way he does and that the city could have gone about the project in a different way.“From talking to neighbours and other people living in the area, I would say the majority of residents are not happy to be seeing all of these trees being cleared out right in the back of our properties.A referendum or at least some type of meeting could have been held to discuss the matter and our opinions on it,” he told the Record.The City of Sherbrooke on the other hand insists that the project was a well thought-out plan.“The project was studied for many years before any construction began and the whole project was only recently approved, it wasn’t a development that was rushed into,” a city spokesperson told the Record.The city also mentioned they are aware that the project will be changing the outlook of some residents’ backyards but that overall the new road and development on a whole will be beneficial to all.“The project is indeed government approved and is considered by everyone here to be a great expansion of the area,” Lennoxville borough councillor Bill Smith told the Record.As for the complaints.Smith says this is the first he has heard of any.“There SHARON MCCULLY lüs».¦% -

a daily aerobic activity- Under teachers Isabelle Goulet and Lisa Eryou, staff and students marched in place, stretched their arms and legs and took deep breaths.While a handful of kids looked a bit groggy and lost, the majority kept up the pace with a smile.Others were seen trying to compete against their friends to lift their legs higher and stretch their arms wider.Proudly watching the ten minutes of action from the sidelines.Physical Edu- cation teachers Glen Faucher and Marc Ghilarducci hailed the activity aimed at activating the body and giving kids grey matter a boost, a success.“So that’s our routine,” said Ghilarducci as the children lined up to go inside the school.“We’re going to do it every day even in the winter.We’ll probably go in the gym when it rains but the rest of the time we’ll do it on the field.” Ghilarducci explained that the school has adopted the routine based on “some of the latest brain research that shows physical activity helps the brain to learn more,” He also credited Principal McCourt for encouraging the idea after attending a presentation from the Western Quebec School Board on improving physical activity.“Its also good for bonding the teachers and the students,” he said.“The teachers come out of the classroom and meet their kids on the field and do the exercises with them,” As the laughing smiling teachers and students filled into the school, it was apparent that the exercises helped to break the ice and calm any first day jitters.In the last few years SES has taken some big steps to encourage a healthier lifestyle among their community by altering their cafeteria menu and offering different physical activities in gym classes, such as ice skating at the nearby pond and snowshoeing.Because SES’s teachers have been adopting healthy habits in their own lives, Ghilarducci believes the kids are encouraged to follow their lead.“Because we believe it in I think the kids believe in it,” he said, adding that a walking club may be the next addition.sSémméSS CORRINNA POI.E \ v: * «U-.I ^ m y iw.ç'Sk r-* •—>Li.search to give our students the best,” said Ghilarducci.For the first day of school, teachers Isabelle Goulet and Lisa Eryou (right) put the Sherbrooke Elementary School community through their paces Wednesday morning with ten minutes oj physical activity.The early exercises have been added to the schools standard routine in an effort to increase both physical and mental fitness.“It’s really not super difficult to get principal who looks into the latest restarted in something like a walking club but it’s a great thing to do.I know teachers who like walking around the block at lunch, so why not take a few kids a long.” Although the new program will help bolster student fitness the kids are already doing pretty well.Ghilarducci said the school has had an “unbelievable” response to extra sports activities offered at lunchtime and after school.“We have a great school and we have great teachers who are dedicated and a Solidarity I BELIEVE.I GIVE.1 888 234-8533 www.devp.org DCVBOpllMWll and Peace Page 6 Thursday, September 1,2011 ¦ newsroom@sherbrookerecord.coin The Record TT'A TT /T~\ TT^ ¥ A IT But num^ers are clear, we can make a transition towards another eco-i , \ l) \ I (( ) h\ I nomic model, more respectful of nature and, more importantly, one that li—X IL JL iLran insure* a future* fnr nur rlexsrpnrlants Francois Tanguay Green Economy: a necessary transition It has been a constant cry from the business as usual economists that the Green Economy would be too expensive, it would create unemployment and a host of other dire consequences.We just can’t afford to go green! Just yesterday I witnessed a debate on PBS on a crucial aspect related to all economic scenarios: oil! One debater (pro oil and pipeline) was stating that we need the oil to sustain our economy on the way out of the current crisis (we: the USA, but he was obviously pointing to the world economy), that if the proposed pipeline that would link the Alberta tar sands production fields to the Southwest US markets is not built, well, the extracted oil would just go to another buyer and that future oil will come from a non-democratic, and non-friendly country! Interesting that this particular issue of non-democratic oil is brought up now, but was kept silent when Iraq was invaded.Anyway, the point was we need oil, period.No discussion on any other avenue because it’s costly, not practical and it can’t possibly be the economy of the future.There have been sit-ins all over the US on the tar sands issue, the likes of which we haven't seen in years.James Hansen, a world authority on Climate change was arrested this week, for the second time in his life, while protesting climate related issues.I have written about Hansen in these pages before, he is a very serious scientist and probably the most outspoken and respected voice on the impacts of global warming.He stated that if we keep building pipelines like the projected one at the center of this debate, it will be game over for climate change.In other words the evolution of climate will nullify any move we make to reduce emissions in the coming decades because by then global warming will be like a runaway train.But the numbers are clear, we can make a transition towards another economic model, more respectful of nature and, more importantly, one that can insure a future for our descendants.The UN climate people estimate that investing 2% of the planet’s GDP in ten key sectors would push our world towards a low carbon and durable economy.Agriculture, energy, fisheries and forestry would all become sustainable and economically viable.Actually the value added factor to most sectors would be 20% higher than in a business as usual scenario, since we would be more efficient, more diverse and more technologically advanced.Keep in mind that the carbon-based economy that is so competitive according to Wall Street depends on a host of subsidies and fiscal advantages that amount to, hang on, $625 billion every year! So much for a non competitive green economy! In other words, the anti-Green economy argument does not stand up to a superficial analysis.Instead of shooting in that direction, while saving the banks and subsidizing the fossil energy industry, serious leaders should be making the turn for a more coherent and low carbon future.Some countries have already begun to turn their economies around: South Korea, China, Austria, Germany and Spain.just to name a few.In the mean ime, Quebec will import somewhere around 15$ billion worth of oil this year and ALL our public transit is carbon based! We have Bombardier that can make trains for the world, Hydro-Québec is in electric motors.Our train service is all oil and unfit for a modem economy, our public transit used to be on rail in Montreal and Quebec and so on.The next economy is at our doorstep and we scramble between orange traffic cones, let’s get serious about this, before we become the laughing stock of the Third world countries! The carbon based economy is the one that is expensive and costly, pollution has no future, and if it does, well.WE have no future! ni i iir.—i RECORD P.O.Box 1200 Shertrooke J1H 5U or 1195 Galt E, ShertrookeJlG llf7 Fax for Newsroom oniv: 819-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom@$herbrookf iroirdcom Website: www.sherbrookerecord.coin Sharon McCuily Pubusher .(819) 569-6345 Daniel Couiombe News Editor.(819) 569-6345 Stephen Blake Corresp Editor.(819) 569-6345 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(819) 569-9931 DEPARTMENTS Accounting.(819) 569-9511 Advertising .(819) 569-9525 Circulation .(819) 569-9528 Newsroom .(819) 569-6345 Knowlton office SB Victoria Street, Knowlton.Quebec, JOE 1V0 Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: 1 year 120.00 6.00 10.71 $136.71 6 MONTHS 63.00 3.15 5.62 $71.77 3 MONTHS 32.00 1.60 2.86 $36.46 Out o/ Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other services nvnilable on request.The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 9,1897, and acquired the Sherbrooke Examiner (est.1879) in 1905 and the Sherbrooke Gazette (est.1837) in 1908.The Record is published by Alta Newspaper Group Limited Partnership.PM#0040007682 Return undeliverable Canadian addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East.Sherbrooke, QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA EXPENSIVE AND INEFFICIENT PRICE $i9UftiUJ0K {PER YEAR MR RISING) OUCH! Me Worry?Fate of doctor at centre of liposuction death unclear By Linda Nguyen Postmedia News Toronto A Toronto doctor, found guilty of incompetence and unprofessional conduct contributing to the death of a liposuction patient more than four years ago, will have to wait weeks to learn if she can keep her medical licence.Earlier this week, a five-member panel with the Ontario College of Physicians and Surgeons heard arguments on whether Dr.Behnaz Yazdanfar should be stripped of her medical privileges, ordered to pay a heavy fine and pay $219,000 in compensation for costs for her disciplinary hearing.During the proceedings, Yazdanfar sat quietly behind her lawyer.Revoking a medical licence is the harshest sentence available to the province's medical regulatory body.The panel has reserved its decision.In September 2007, one of Yazdanfar's patients - 32-year-old Krista Stry-land - died following a botched liposuction procedure.According to media reports, the young mother laid bleeding in a recovery room for at least 30 minutes before emergency services were called.By that time, Yazdanfar had started surgery on her next patient.When Stryland was brought to hospital, doctors there attempted to resuscitate her for 2 1/2 hours before she was pronounced dead.Last May, a disciplinary committee with the college found Yazdanfar, a general practitioner turned cosmetic practitioner, failed to maintain the standard of practice of the profession in relation to five patients, including Stryland.It also found her guilty of failing to obtain informed consent from several patients and did not engage in adequate pre- and post-operative procedures.According to guidelines published by American Society of Plastic Surgeons, no more than five litres of fat and fluids should be removed during a liposuction procedure.The college found that in almost half of the 40 cases it investigated, Yazdanfar removed more than this recommended amount.In some of the cases, almost twice the amount of fluids was taken.Kathryn Clarke, a spokeswoman with the college, confirmed that Yazdanfar has been restricted from performing surgical procedures since May 2009.She is permitted to act as a surgical assistant, but cannot oversee pre-or post-operative care to patients.In April 2010, as a result of this high-profile case, the college was granted the power to inspect independent cosmetic surgery clinics, like the one Yazdanfar operated out of.Physicians who practice cosmetic surgery outside of a hospital setting also now have to go through a one-time assessment to work in these clinics, and undergo a review every three years."There's been very positive change," Clarke said on Wednesday.A penalty hearing for Yazdanfar's colleague, anesthesiologist Dr.Bruce Liberman, will start Thursday.He was also found incompetent and unprofessional by the college last May. The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Thursday, September 1, 2011 Page 7 Blue-collar strike could take serious toll on ice sports If the blue-collar workers do not come to an agreement with the City of Sherbrooke in the near future, local hockey players, speed skaters and figure skaters are going to face serious issues during their forthcoming seasons.If the strike continues, multiple arenas in the Sherbrooke area will be closed or have their hours reduced, meaning less ice time to go around for the thousands of participants in these winter sports.The speed skating club of Sherbrooke (CPVS) released a statement describing the difficulties they will face with the arena closures, especially as the biggest speed skating club in Canada.Ottawa considering changing law to keep suspected fugitives incarcerated The Canadian Press The release on bail of a violent fugitive who was included on a “most wanted” list has the federal public safety minister thinking about changing the law.Walter Ernesto Guzman of El Salvador was ordered released last week on $3,000 cash bond after appearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board.Guzman, who was in the country illegally after being convicted of drug trafficking, assault and other serious offences, surrendered to Montreal police Aug.19.Vic Toews says the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act is geared too much toward releasing people who are to be deported, putting the onus on government to prove that those in custody are a danger to the public, a flight risk or both.“Quite frankly, I think we need to examine that legislation to see whether that kind of a presumption is in fact appropriate in cases where individuals have been convicted of serious criminality in this country, who are under a removal order and who have evaded arrest in some cases for years,” Toews said when asked about the Guzman case.Toews was also critical of the Immigration and Refugee Board, saying too many of the board’s decisions are overturned by the courts.“The federal court has overturned a number of the decisions of the IRB in this kind of a context,” Toews noted.Guzman was among three suspects with lengthy criminal records who were arrested within 24 hours after the Canada Border Services Agency posted online mug shots of 32 dangerous foreign criminals.The pictures were included in a new section of the “Wanted by the CBSA” page on the agency’s website.All are wanted on Canada-wide removal warrants, while many on the list could not be found after they finished serving time in custody.Almost everyone on the list has multiple convictions, with assault-related offences the most common infraction.Canada deported more than 15,000 people last year, including 1,800 who were associated with criminal acts.“It is clear for our organization comprised of volunteers that as long as the strike continues it will be impossible to organize speed skating competitions in Sherbrooke!” the statement reads.In addition to reduced practice hours and an inability to practice on Olympic size ice, the CPVS wrote of the financial losses as well as a loss of reputation that they expect from the reduced ice time.The statement specifies that the club expects to lose $10,000 in subscription revenue and $10,000 in revenue from the competitions they will not be holding.The seven hockey tournaments normally held in Sherbrooke also face seri- ous risks of cancellation, as does an annual figure skating championship.According to a statement posted on Hockey Sherbrooke’s website, the organization will have 148 less hours of ice time a week than usual.Consequently, the majority of ice time will be devoted to games rather than practices, which will be drastically reduced in quantity, if not completely eliminated for some levels.The hockey organization has set a deadline of Sept.6 for the resolution of the conflict, after which all their tournaments will be cancelled for the upcoming year.The blue-collar workers will be sitting down with the City again this Thursday, Sept.1 to go over a new proposal.The CPVS is hoping the involved parties will see how the conflict is threatening these sport groups and take action.“The two parties in conflict should thus take the example of hockey, figure skating, and speed skating clubs in Sherbrooke and work together to reach an agreement that benefits our organizations, the youth and the whole Sherbrooke community," their statement reads.(hoUrfiy ^ûihS.tohefe.-Priericls /yieeXt J Co/»?e t/l& BhOcJ?-fcorv/ÿ at 'T'he.Aoot/l dut'îfKi the.Bho/rie fâ/h

“frustrated artist” for much of his adult life.Fabulous bird raising dough for good cause By Matthew Farfan Back to school! MATTHEW FARFAN It was back to school week this week at schools throughout Quebec.And it was all excitement at Jardins des Frontières in Stanstead, where teachers and kids reacquainted themselves with each other after the two-month break.f « |he Haskell Free Library and Opera 1 House seems to be in fundraising JL mode a lot these days.Indeed, the board, staff and volunteers of this historic institution have come up with COURTESY OF THE HASKELL FREE LIBRARY This splendid bird needs a new home! This Harris hawk by well-known bird carver Jim Maas is now being raffled off at the Haskell.some pretty creative ways to raise the funds that are in such short supply at the Haskell.One of these is with the help of a rather spectacular bird.The bird in question is actually an exquisitely painted wood carving.Donated by artist Jim Maas, this wonderful piece is a life-size female Harris hawk that stands about thirty inches high, and that is carved from tupelo, a southern swamp wood.This bird is currently being raffled off at the library.Maas is well known in the border area, having worked for 25 years as an orthopaedic surgeon in Newport, Vermont.Maas, who is now retired from his medical practice, was a “frustrated artist” for much of his adult life.It was only when he started carving and painting, he says, that he discovered his true artistic talent.Although largely self-taught, Maas has also studied under a number of recognized master carvers.His studies — and his natural talent — have borne fruit.Maas has won several prestigious awards, notably the Ward Museum World Championships and the Concours québécois de sculpture d’oiseaux.Most recently, he won “Best of Show” for his green heron at the Blue Ridge Mountain Arts Center exhibit in Blue Ridge, Georgia.Maas’ Harris hawk, the carving now being raffled off at the Haskell, is an excellent example of this bird carver’s obvious talent.It would make a stunning addition to any home.Raffle tickets are $5 each and are available at the library or by sending a self-addressed stamped envelope to Haskell Library, 1 Church Street, Stanstead, QC, JOB 3E2.The drawing will be held at the close of the opera house season this fall.The winner does not need to be present at the drawing and shipping of the carving can be arranged.The Haskell Free Library and Opera House is a registered non-profit organization that serves the communities along the Canada-US border.The Haskell was constructed in 1901-1904 directly on the boundary so as to serve an international clientele, and to this day residents from both sides of the line rely on the Haskell for a wide range of services, materials and programs.Classified as a national historic site by the governments of Canada, the United States and the province of Quebec, this remarkable institution attracts visitors from all around the world.In the opera house, most of the audience sits in the US to watch a show on a stage in Canada.The entrance to the library is in the US, while the circulation desk and all of the books are in Canada.The reading room is international.The expenses related to operating this free public library and to maintaining this unique heritage building are daunting.While most of the Haskell’s operating funds come from investment earnings, individual donations and fundraising projects are constantly needed to supplement that income and to replenish the endowment for a sustainable future.For more information, contact Haskell Librarian Nancy Rumery at (819) 876-2471.Sidewalks By Matthew Farfan Nothing says “new" like new sidewalks.They’re bright, visible, they look great, and everybody uses them - at least some of the under way of years ago, but which has been on hold for a couple of years because of other priorities, the Town of Stanstead has now begun to replace another section of its badly deteriorated Dufferin Street sidewalk; namely the section in front of the Manoir Stanstead seniors’ complex (the former Ursuline Convent).This section of the sidewalk had been almost completely covered in patches of blacktop, so its replacement will come as a welcome sight to the many residents who walk along this stretch of the street.According to Town Clerk Edwin John Sullivan, the amount budgeted this year for sidewalks is about $40,000.No deci-1 sion has been taken | yet about what [ other sidewalks will receive attention.‘Gypsy Art’ and more at Blacksmith By Matthew Farfan time.Continuing a process that was begun a number MATTHEW FARFAN Stanstead is replacing some more of its old sidewalks.The final art show of the season, featuring works by four Eastern Townships artists — Libbey Griffith, Christa Kotiesen, Lizabeth Laroche and Brigitte Mittelhammer — gets under way at Ye Olde Blacksmith Art Gallery in Stanstead this coming Saturday, September 3.The public is invited to a vernissage at the gallery from 5 to 7 p.m.Griffith paints primarily with oil on canvas and panel.Her inspiration is drawn from the landscapes that she sees around her.Also working in landscapes is Kotiesen, who currently favours dry pastel.“Pastels,” Kotiesen says, “can produce everything from soft, subdued tones with subtle colour variations, to areas of clear, bright, fresh colour.” Laroche and Mittelhammer, two Montreal artists who have recently relocated to the Eastern Townships, enjoy transforming “objets trouvés” (found, everyday objects), into whimsical creations of playful beauty and versatility.“One man’s junk is another woman’s treasure!” is one of their mottos, and one of their goals is to make the planet a more beautiful place.What these two artists call “Gypsy Art” is the result.Ye Olde Blacksmith Art Gallery is located at 240 Dufferin, in downtown Stanstead.Opening hours are Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m.to 6 p.m.This exhibition continues until September 18.

by clawing its way over obstacles that only a low-range transfer case could manage.However, powered by various inline four-cylinders and V6s over the years, it often proved to be a bit anemic on pavement.But, for 2012, the all-new 3.6-litre Pentastar V6 changes that.This engine bumps up the base horsepower over the previous V6 by 40% - then adds 10% more torque and increases fuel economy by 15%.That’s a big jump.This new powerplant also happens to come on the 70th anniversary of the iconic brand, which was first built in 1941 for the military.It did so well in battle that civilian versions followed, starting in 1945 with the CJ-2A.This light four-wheel-drive vehicle featured a tiny 2.2L four-cylinder, a manual T-90A transmission, a Spicer 18 transfer case and a full-floating Dana 25 front and Dana 23-2 rear axle.With this setup, it could go almost anywhere - and that’s Jeep’s legacy.For this introduction.Jeep chose to showcase the new Wrangler in the forests of Oregon, an area where one can still find examples of every generation of Jeep climbing the logging roads of the Tualatin Mountains.In fact, this area is home to the reality TV show Axe Men.Filmed throughout the mountains, it shows the extreme muddy slopes and craggy peaks on which the loggers work - exactly the type of terrain a Jeep happily calls home.For 2012, the insertion of the 3.6L Pentastar as the standard engine is the big news.Almost as important, however, is that the Wrangler also gets a new five-speed automatic transmission (for the first time).Off-road, its lower first gear ratio improves its crawl mode, while the high end promotes better gas mileage.For purists, a manual six-speed is also available.Making 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, this compact, all-aluminum V6 is more than 40 kilograms lighter than the previous cast-iron-block 3.8L V6.Weight savings were also realized with accessories that bolt directly to the block, while exhaust manifolds were deleted.Instead, exhaust flows through passages cast directly into the Pentastar’s cylinder head.With the transmission increasing its gears to five from four, it now operates in a more efficient rpm range, enabling the engine to remain in the torque curve longer and thus improving acceleration.As •a result, the 2012 Wrangler has improved its zero-to-100-kilome-tres-an-hour time to just 8.4 seconds.As for fuel economy, Jeep claims an average of 11.2 litres per 100 km.Also for 2012, the Wrangler has increased its rear axle ratio choices to three - 3.21, 3.73 and 4.10.Its tow rating is also up to 1,587 kilograms.Driving out to the Tillamook Forest area for the off-road portion of the test, the pavement ducked and dove through 100 km of valleys carved by streams - none of them straight.Here, the V6 shone.With minimal downshifts, its broad powerband pulled the Wrangler through hairpins and up hills, and it gently decelerated downhill with firm engine braking, allowing me to keep my foot off the brakes most of the time.The weight of this power-train also seems to smooth out the Jeep’s ride, particularly in the two-door Wrangler.The stretched four-door version brought in a new era of on-road ride a few years ago -and this engine suits it even better.However, the shorter two-door has always been a bit rougher.It is much improved with the new V6 installed.This certainly doesn’t hurt the current buyer demographic either, which wants the Jeep’s offroad capability but also wants to give its backsides a break on-road.Climbing to a ridge top amid clear cuts, I finally got back to what a Jeep is all about - off-roading.The models driven on the mountain top all came with front and rear locking differentials, a two-speed transfer case, disconnecting sway bars, hill descent control and a manual shift mode as part of the automatic transmission.What they didn’t come with was a dust-free cabin - mostly because the tops were off.What a mess for the guy who has to clean these up.It’s a good thing all Jeeps still come with drain plugs in the floorpans.Just pull up the carpet and take the hose to it.The other thing that hasn’t changed is the price.Even with the new engine and tranny, the 2012 Wrangler’s base price remains the same as the 2011 model’s -$22,595.The Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited will continue to be available in four models - Sport, Sport S, Sahara and Rubicon.Combine the new powertrain with the interior improvements from 2011 and the lineup is virtually all new.Postmedia News powersports@sympa tico.ca Aluminized steel & stainless steel mufflers T| .k.jJ SILENCIEUX SHER-LENN Inc.950 Wellington St.S.Sherbrooke____________ Fernand Cabana, owner 569-9494 Sylvain Auger, Manager for all Heavy D Trucks Page 10 Thursday, September 1, 2011 newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record “I think today we ran out of gas a little bit.We pressed as hard as we could at the end to get a few opportunities, but they played well today.” Canadian women’s hockey team falls to Sweden Canada finishes 12 Nations tournament with 4-2 record L/oc P.E.VIXTW£ USAGE OF I CWIEF.5UT L TWlHtC IKSTMAT (EEPLKT IN FOOT ÈALL IWM'SKN INTERESTING ICCV V' TUORNAPPLEI WOW TlfAtS DO I WKVE TO TELL YOU NOT TO TMK WWEN WE'RE IAAYINGW CONVERSATION ! ° « Frank And Ernest NO, X DON'T TH/NK " THf -i j) you/?"m TOWAtP iAtmr ©2011 UFS, Inc Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS Tmaa/es ?-/ Grizwells AcniAU-y I m \HTo AH OLD of fvttUE \NUll£ 1 LA*r Po/FRIENP AVW HE'S A 4K \ooK\NG ?VW Vite SHE \, |u Soup to Nuts V Dap sa id r wave^ to sppaw uieep wuep looks on me.stDewai-K -sus' uko 3 CRâCKS You C3NT SPRa>( TTeSus u/ith Round UR CRUCIFIX © Laughingstock international inc, Pist.byJJrwersaUJd^ Herman “Whatd’ya mean they want you to take an early retirement next Friday without your pension?” WttH Bt**"**"* n« *' t""*1”*"" '/TEcn otF Check w Health Check tHr**** ____________ Diabetes t1» Si ^ epidemic a TérJ Québec Diabetes information and donations (SI 4) 2S9.3422 or 1 ^00.161.SS04 www.d , 6-.: _ — ¦ .r ini Jeep http://dodge.ca/mobile/en/specialOffer.php
