THF.¦¦ “ record; Local News Fire Casued by Electrical Malfunction By Doug McCooeye ¦ ¦ |he cause of the massive fire ’that resulted in the complete destruction of a com-JL, mercial and residential building in downtown Sherbrooke early Wednesday morning has been found.In an interview with The Record on Thursday afternoon, Gaétan Drouin, the director of Sherbrooke’s Fire Prevention Service cited electrical problems as the cause of the blaze that saw an estimated $2.5 million in total damages.“The fire seems to have originated from the basement of the building due to an electrical malfunction,” said Drouin.“We cannot confirm at this time the exact location of the fire’s origins, just that it started in the basement.” After the fire began at about 4:50 am on Wednesday and burned all day, authorities made the decision to completely demolish the building located on King West.The three-story building was home to the Roger Labonté and Alex Clusif stores, a small sewing shop, and a pizza restaurant, as well as 25 tenants who had apartments on the second and third floors of the building.It appears that nothing was recovered.La Maison du Cinema, located next door to the massive blaze, will re-open its doors on Friday afternoon.The movie theatre only suffered some structural damage to its roof.The screening areas themselves were left untouched.“There is some further investigating that is required,” said Drouin “This work is usually done by the insurance companies.” There is still no word on whether any foul-play was involved in the fire’s origins.> •.•.•< spv

one of the more interesting projects we have ever done,” said Denault.the city before September 9th.They can get this card through an online process or go to the Léopold-Drolet Sports Centre during regular business hours.Once they have received the card, parents are only a few clicks away from signing their kids up for swimming lessons.The program being used is LUD1K, a software program that is specifically designed to organize recreational activities.“This program has been used by other municipalities throughout Quebec and has been very successful," said Denault.The online registration period runs from September 10th to the 14th.From 3 pm to 8 pm of that week, parents can sign up for the wide variety of aquatic activities available to children of all ages and swimming abilities.There are 800 spots available on a first-come-first-serve basis.Denault gave a real-time demonstration of how quick and easy it was for peo- We are making subscriptions more accès- P'e t0

matter of minutes.“This project falls under the sustainable development initiative that we are trying to follow,” said Denault.Indeed, people will now be able to avoid long waits in line and a tremendous amount of paper will be saved with this new registration method.For those who do not have access to the internet at home, The City of Sherbrooke has arranged to have internet access in the city and its boroughs throughout the subscription process.Various libraries (Éva-Senécal, Rock Forest, Lennoxville, Saint-Élie, and Gisèle-Bergeron) as well as an internet café (Julien-Ducharme Centre) will be available to the public during the registration period.People will also have the option of signing up in person.Marc Mongeau, Lennoxville Borough Director who is helping out with the project, assured that this is an early step in a much larger project “Next Spring we plan on including online registration to day camps like the one in Lennoxville,” he said.“Eventually we will have many of the major sports organizations in the Sherbrooke area using online registration,” added Denault.Visit the City of Sherbrooke website at www.sherbrooke.ca/loisir for more information.It’s about

decreases pain and stress, relaxes muscles.lowers blood pressure and strengthens antibodies.All body systems, including respiratory, circulatory, blood and cardiac, are affected positively by laughter, which is known as an aerobic exercise for your diaphragm.If you’re feeling stressed, rundown and listless then it’s high time to get laughing and North Hatley’s Piggery Theatre is the perfect venue to improve your health when outstanding comics Mike MacDonald, Will Davis and Phil Hanley provide generous doses of comedy on Monday August 24.Fast, funny and award-winning comedian Mike MacDonald has dominated stages all over North America and has made several TV appearances including The Late Show with David Let-terman, The Arsenio Hall Show, Just For Laughs, three comedy specials and starred in the CBC sitcom “Mosquito Lake.” The veteran funny man has hosted the Gemini Awards and Just For Laughs 10th Anniversary Special and holds the distinction of being the only comedian to perform at each and every Just For Laughs gala show.“Stay-at-home son” Phil Hanley has made his mark from coast to coast with performances at the Halifax Comedy Festival and the Vancouver Comedy Festival.Winner of Vancouver’s Funniest Comic Competition, he will perform at this year’s Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal and continues to make appearances on TV comedy shows.In addition to performing, Hanley has appeared in many advertising campaigns for Nissan, Pontiac, Fred Perry and Levi’s.He is also a credited screenwriter and script doctor and recently worked with the great Don Knotts on a film project.Fresh from organizing a cross-Canada tour with Carol Burnett, bilingual Will Davis has been featured at the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival and at comedy clubs and corporate events across the country.Davis, who is a Townshipper, was the star of the mockumentary series Destination Funny, with Brent Butt, and created, cowrote, produced and starred in the one-hour TV special, Comedy (I Mike MacDonald Night in Canada.Organized by Marcella Davis Gerrish and David Hopps, who previously joined forces for the Changing Gears fundraiser that collected bicycles for local children, Comedy Night is aimed at helping local children play hockey.“When we were at the end of (Changing Gears) we started thinking of what else we could do and coming from a large family of eight kids we thought why not sponsor some kids to play hockey,” said Gerrish.“It’s a lot of money for kids to play and the thought of a kid who wants to play and can’t is just hard for me.” According to Gerrish, the money collected will be used for any Townships child who wants to play the sport this fall.“We’re hoping some people will come forward and let us know of someone we can help or that someone will come forward themselves if they can’t afford to get their kids playing,” she said.“The money will be used for registration or equipment, if they just need help with one or both we will try to provide it.Whatever the need is to anyone in the area.” Garrish enlisted the help of her well connected Vancouver based brother who owns a production company to arrange the Comedy Night.“My brother brought MacDonald down before and I joked about him get- COURTESYTHE PIGGERY ting him down for me and he said he’d call me back.It’s an easy cause to get them onboard with,” she explained.“We knew we wanted to do this and it was either going to be comedy or music.With music it’s hard to (appeal) to everyone but everybody likes to laugh.” While you’re getting your funny bone tickled, you may also luck out and win some great “surprise” hockey and sports related items.Those who can’t make the Comedy Night but would like to make a donation can call Gerrish or Hopps at the numbers

and pay for it.In an application filed in the Federal Court of Canada, Katherine Anne Johnson, 61, said the operation to remove her penis - a “penectomy” - has been unreasonably delayed by Correctional Service of Canada.Johnson also demanded to be transferred to a women’s prison to keep her safe from attacks from other inmates.In the court documents, Johnson is referred to as a woman.Reports from authorities defending the decision to keep Johnson in a men’s prison refer to her as “Ms.Johnson.” Johnson, who has a lengthy criminal record and is serving a life sentence for beating her roommate to death, said the surgical delay dates back to her transfer from a women’s unit at the provincial Surrey Pre-Trial Services Centre to a men’s federal prison in November 2007.She said she was born with a female mind but the body of a male, and has always identified as a female.Johnson had her testicles removed in 1979 and has tried to remove her penis six times.In 1983, she cut it with a razor blade, but it was reattached while she was unconscious from blood loss.She suffered nerve damage from the incident and cannot achieve an erection - and said it’s been “my lifelong wish” to have gender-reassignment surgery.Johnson said she stays locked in her cell most of the day, regularly misses meals, does not shower and has suicidal thoughts.“My only hope is that I will be given a penectomy and will be transferred to the women’s prison.I feel I might only have a couple more years to live and I did not want to live the last years of my life in a male prison,” she wrote.Johnson’s affidavit refers to a number of threats and assaults, including an incident in Which another inmate called her a “f— king drag queen" and punched her in the head.In another incident, a male prisoner held a knife to her throat in a washroom, but she managed to escape.A third incident saw two inmates come into her cell, throw her to the ground and demand oral sex.In a fourth incident, a prisoner sliced her chest with the edge of an opened can of salmon.“I have been forced to go along with having sex with men in prison for protection to avoid being killed or raped by other men.I am terrified of being around men,” she said.A report by corrections officials said the allegations are being investigated by police.Documents from prison authorities said she should remain for now in the men’s prison because she still has a penis - having it removed would qualify her for a transfer.They also note there’s no deadline set for a decision on the operation.A corrections official declined to comment while the case is in court.An April 2008 assessment by psychiatrists Dr.Oliver Robinow and Dr.Gail Knudson, experts in gender-identity disorder, ruled the surgery is an essential medical service.In October 2007, Johnson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder in the slaying of her roommate, Horace Stevens, 56, in their Vancouver apartment.She used a baseball bat to beat him to death after a domestic dispute.Vancouver Province DEMO DAY • WOOD PROCESSOR RAIN OR SHINE TUESDAY, AUG.18/09 9:30 a.m.-12:00 noon CALL TO RESERVE Picken's form equipment 34 Nord, Waterloo Tel.: (450) 539-1114 Res.: (450) 539-1076 3 > a > i 1J Briefs Que.Man Gets Wish: A Night In Jail (CNS) GATINEAU, Que.- A 20-year-old Gatineau man successfully broke himself into jail Tuesday night when he wouldn’t take no for an answer.Gatineau police said the man demanded to spend the night in jail after arriving at the Hull police station shortly after 10 p.m.He told police he had been kicked out of his home and had no place else to stay.He refused to take advantage of resources offered to him, police said, insisting on a cell.Despite the strangeness of his request he appeared to be rational and lucid, they said.The man left the station around 11 p.m.Police said he then began to hurl rocks at the police station, breaking windows.The man was arrested and charged with mischief, breach of undertaking and breach of probation.Ottawa Citizen Que.Hospital Reports C.Difficile Outbreak (CNS) SOREL, Que.- A Quebec hospital reported a C.difficile outbreak Wednesday and was treating 11 people who had contracted the infection.Another four people hospitalized at the Hotel-Dieu Hospital in Sorel, about 80 kilometres east of Montreal, have died since June, but officials were not yet able to confirm whether they had C.difficile.The deceased patients had other underlying health conditions at the time.A hospital spokesperson said the number of cases has been stable for the last 10 days and preventive measures were taken to avoid a spread of the infection at the hospital.C.difficile, one of the most common infections found in hospitals and long-term care facilities, causes diarrhea, fever, loss of appetite, nausea and abdominal pain or tenderness.Is your central vision becoming blurred?Vac., a- dégénérât on s the lescfnç cause o' biinciness in Canada.If you experience any change in v > on, consult your eye-care professional.The Canadian Nationa‘ Institute for the Blino 1-800-b"3-/813 www.cnib.C5 www.pickensfarmequipment.com RECORD Friday, August 14, 2009 page 5 Columnist A Hundred Bucks?WHAT?!

a homegrown Canadian program since 1988, with proven success in reducing child mortality caused by measles, polio and tetanus) is in its final phase and will soon expire at year’s end.During times of global recession and global food shortage, international aid is often sacrificed, thus children are most vulnerable and at risk when confronted with infectious diseases.Innocent children do not deserve to suffer preventable diseases and be deprived of vaccines that cost only 36 cents per dose.If Canada is committed to providing global leadership in foreign aid, then the survival of children in the world’s poorest countries must be considered.CIDA’s renewal on CIII is the solution.Why wait any longer?FYI in the story “Coderre Ready for Fall ing that Michael Ignatieff did not say he RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E„ Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax for Newsroom only: 819-569-3945 f-mail: newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Website:: www.sherbrookerecord.com Kenneth Wells Publisher .(819) 569-9511 Michael McDevtit Editor .(819) 569-6345 Fraser Lockerbie Corresp.Editor .(819) 569-6345 Richard Lessard Prod.Mgr.(819) 569-9931 Serge Gagnon Chief Pressman.(819) 569-9931 Francine Thibault Prod.Superv.(819) 569-4856 DEPARTMENTS Accounting.(819) 569-9511 Advertising .(819) 569-9525 Circulation .(819) 569-9528 Newsroom.(819) 569-6345 Knowlton office 5B Victoria Street, Knowlton, Quebec, JOE 1 VO Tel: (450) 242-1188 Fax: (450) 243-5155 Wendy K.S.Tung Scarborough, Ontario Election” there are a number of quotes from Louis Bérubé and others say-was going to shut down the asbestos industry.While he never used those words in the Le Devoir story from May, Mr.Ignatieff did say Canada should get out of the asbestos industry while he was in Edmonton on June 30, 2009.Here are Mr.Ignatieff s exact words: “Canada has to be out of the asbestos business.We should not export it and we should not produce it”.He is very clear and concise that he will kill the industry and I think your readers should know the truth about what Mr.Ignatieff has said on the subject of asbestos.AtPubantz Edmonton, Ai.bf.rta MAIL SUBSCRIPTIONS GST PST TOTAL Canada: 1 year 120.00 6.00 9.45 SI 35.45 6 months 63.00 3.15 4.96 S71.ll 3 months 32.00 1.60 2.52 $36.12 Out of Quebec residents do not include PST.Rates for other services available on request The Record is published daily Monday to Friday.Back copies of The Record are available.The Record was founded on February 7.1897, 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 Editorial Pulling the Trigger A recent Quebec survey has raised a few eyebrows and may set the stage for an intense and complicated public debate.A poll conducted by Angus Reid and La Presse reveals that almost four out of five Quebecers express support for the idea of legalizing euthanasia, what was once referred to as “mercy killing.” Not only did the survey reveal overwhelming support for the concept, that support was consistent through all age and social categories.We REALLY believe in euthanasia.Needless to say, any discussion about the legalization of a practice that is surreptitiously common in any event will bring to the fore a wide array of issues, concerns and problems that our politicians will ultimately have to address.The argument in favour of legalizing euthanasia comes from those concerned about an individual’s right to decide, within the limits of possibility, how and when they will shuffle off their mortal coil.Should we be allowed, for example, to demand that once a certain level of physical or mental deterioration has occurred, all treatments be stopped?Should we be allowed to go further and demand that we be “put out of our misery?” Who should have the final say - the individual?the family?the doctor?or any combination of the above?What is the difference between allowing someone to die (pulling the plug) and causing someone to die (pulling the trigger)?An issue such as this one is almost a no-win scenario for lawmakers, so we shouldn’t be expecting a major decision any time soon, but that is not a bad thing.It could easily turn out to be one of those morally ambiguous problems with no easy, one-size-fits-all solution.We may have another [ abortion issue on our hands.The argument of an individual’s right to control one’s own destiny versus the “sanctity oflife" viewpoint is only the most obvious of many possible areas of contention.If euthanasia were to be legalized, for example, would it be covered by public health insurance?Would medical personnel be obligated to participate regardless of the personal beliefs?Could “living wills” be challenged and by whom?Perhaps most importantly, and most difficult to answer, is the question of whether the legalization of euthanasia would put unbearable pressure on the incurably or chronically ill to agree to be "put down” because of the “1 don’t want to be a burden” factor?Researchers have already identified several areas of concern.One is that while the decision to “not want to suffer” is almost always made in the abstract, attitudes tend to change once a concrete situation arises.Families reject the responsibility and patients tend to want to hang on.Moreover, the question of mental state when the decision is made clearly needs to be examined.Chronic illness can cause depression, which in turn increases suicidal thoughts.How could we ever be sure we were acting on someone’s true desires?Finally, and inevitably, someone will do the math and come up with an economic-element in the debate and wonder how much public money should be spent on prolonging lives that are substantially over.We could be in for a rough one.-Mike McDevtit - l ilt RECORD Friday, August 14, 2009 page 7 Public Pensions vs.the Vengeance of Greed By Michael van Lierop By 2030, over 25% of the Canadian population will be over the age of 65.There will be more people retired than working.The number of workers needed to pay taxes to support social programs and public retirement entitlements will be insufficient.The end result will mean a reduction of the amount of these entitlements or a reduction in the amount of people receiving them, or both.In short, the status quo is untenable.Perhaps surprisingly, the sky is not falling! While there is plenty of reason to be concerned - very concerned -about the demographic shifts that are happening as we speak, and the financial and fiscal impacts this will have on those who must continue to support the system (all the while hoping that when they retire, there will be some scraps left for them to chew on), the end is not near.To the contrary, over the years Canada's public pensions have proven to be remarkably resilient to upheaval and to addressing long-term needs.The CPP (Canada Pension Plan), Ontario Teacher’s Pension Plan, and even the infamous Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec, despite its recent turmoil, have all faired quite well.While in 2008 alone the Caisse lost a whopping 25% of its entire assets, dropping to $120 billion from $160 billion, and more recently, during the first half of 2009 it has seen its assets drop another $5.7 billion, due mostly to write downs in real estate.Still, it’s one of the most durable and resilient public plans anywhere in the world.On a more positive note, just this week the Canada Pension Plan announced a significant rebound in growth.Given that some 17 million Canadians contribute to and expect to receive something from the Canada Pension Plan, this return to positive growth is good news.A solid $11 billion has been added to the plan since January, a not unremarkable 7% gain.Why this has not been the case in Quebec with the Caisse is a story for another column - or columnist! Those who are retired now face a more pressing concern than, say, the workers of today who one way or another (be it with or without the government) can find a way to improve the system or find an individual savings plan that suits their retirement goals.With investment portfolios battered, and despite a 27% rebound in the markets in Canada since January, overall assets in Canadian investments have de-c 1 i n e d substantially year over year.The result?Less money to withdraw now, or a shorter withdrawal period than originally forecast.The solution?Manage with less, or go back to work.As shocking a notion as that might be for many retirees, more and more people are re-entering the workforce, even if just part-time.Before the market collapse of 2008, the golden-agers were known for returning to the work place out of boredom; today, it’s out of necessity.Freedom 55, if it ever existed, has become Freedom 75.Public pensions, unlike the private plans, have the advantage of their ability to raise more capital (through increased employee and employer contributions, as was legislated by the federal government in the late 1990s to bolster the CPP) and of pooling ever greater resources.One person has little to no chance to recuperate a last-minute pre-retirement drop in investment value, without contributing again or taking unprecedented risk to regain lost ground.Why such a mess?In large part you can lay the blame on the money placed in “Asset-backed Commercial Paper” - a fancy term for the re-packaging of high-risk American mortgage debt, turned into paper investments, and re-sold internationally.In essense, those assets that were supposed to be behind the investments were as wobbly as a house on stilts - the foundation quickly crumbled once housing prices began to fall.Arguably, the entire financial meltdown in the US came about in large part due to the faulty belief that housing prices in the US would never fall.Why so many intelligent, seasoned and well educated people - and well established, reputable banks - managed to believe such a ridiculous notion is beyond comprehension.If common sense was common at all, at any instance, in any place, it certainly became uncommon - or perversely out of fashion - during the prelude to this crisis.How has Canada fared in all of this?Aside from turmoil on the financial markets which has affected Canadian pensions and personal investment portfolios, we have survived remarkably well.The banking sector in Canada is recognized the world-over as one of the most stable, secure and profitable.This crisis has proven that some of the staid Bay Street bankers have prevented, with their more conservative tendancies, the wild and spectacular failures south of the border.Cowboy risk-taking, as a financial philosophy, has seen its day (for now).It will return, it always does.And that is not entirely a bad thing.This is not to say the worst is behind us.A good many experts (many of whom were categorically ignored last time around) still proclaim the system is frail and no manner or size of bail-out or financial stimulus will make a difference.These doomsayers are not very popular but there is reason for concern.The second wave of financial chaos has been less visible but it’s there, and it’s in the form of loans and investments in commercial real estate (as opposed to the subprime mortgage mess that was focused on residential real estate) which are crumbling due to the recession, leaving countless malls, shopping centres and commercial buildings vacant.These properties have either lost some or all of their value.In addition, a good batch (some estimate more than a million) residential subprime mortgages are still waiting to re-set, which is to say, switch from their original and artificially low interest rate to the updated and much higher interest rate.The end result?Even more defaults.How this will all transpire depends on many factors.The bottom line for most investors in Canada is that public pensions have strained under these circumstances but will survive, and private portfolios have diminished in value but will rebound.The timeline may be tight for soon-to-be-retired individuals, as their horizon to recuperate these losses is short; the timeline for already-retired individuals is irrelevant - recuperating may require reinvesting, and in safer choices, if it’s even possible.For the remaining public who continue to work, the viability of private and public plans will depend on a good mix of luck, time, and some shrewd decisions.Let us hope some lessons have been learned.Michael van Lierop is Director of Sales & Recruitment and a Financial Security Advisor at Industrial Alliance (Sherbrooke), a Quebec-based insurance and financial services firm.His team of advisors works to address the financial needs of the English-speaking comm unity.Michael also holds a degree in Political Science from Bishop’s University.To reach him with comments or suggestions for future columns, send to mic.vanlierop@agc.inalco.com Eastern Townships School Board New Horizons Adult Education Centre Must be at least 16 years of age before July 1,2009 — High School credits leading to a diploma — Preparation for College or Vocational Training — Basic Reading, Writing and Math — Equivalency Tests, GED preparation and testing — French Second Language Fall session begins August 31 FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL: (819) 566-0250 or visit www.etsb.qc.ca/newhorizons NEW HORIZONS Centre d'éducation aux adultes Adult Education Centre 2365 Galt St.West, Sherbrooke Festival de Vauto ancienne 5th annual antique car exhibition August 15-16, 2009 .**• Parc Urbain, Principale Street, Richmond Saturday, August 15, 2009 5:00 p.m.Antique Car Exhibition 8:00 p.m.Retro Show with Les Wonder's Band Sunday, August 16, 2009 10:00-5:00 Antique Car Exhibition 10:00-4:00 Climbing Tower: $2.00 11:00-5:00 Show with the Trio Tornade 11:00-3:30 Drawing -

Tremblay has amassed 442 points over his LHSPQ/LNAH career, with 186 goals.He now sits just 58 points shy of career 500 points, a mark he's happy to be aiming for with Sherbrooke.Cloutier joined the club at the beginning of 2009, coming over from the Saint-Georges CRS Express as one of the Sherbrooke fan base's most detested players.He quickly won over the home crowd though and became a fan favorite in no time.The fans will be glad to have .1 % Lvvr k «?.«At COURTESY SAINT FRANCOIS SAINTS Chris Cloutier is just one of many Saints players opting to re-sign with the sherbrooke team him back and he says he is glad to be back."I'm really happy to be coming back to Sherbrooke," he said."I wasn't sure when I was dealt here that they'd accept me, especially since I'd been playing against Sherbrooke with others teams for the past five years.But the guys took me in and made me feel welcome, especially guys like Bidas (Simon Robidas) who I'd fought many times on the ice."
