Sherbrooke Unless they come from live family members or friends, organ donations are anonymous and transplant recipients rarely get the opportunity to thank the families of the deceased donors whose gifts have improved or even saved their lives.But thanks to a lucky coincidence, Reinhard Berger got a chance to speak this week with Mona Parent, whose brother’s gift of a kidney changed his life.The Ste-Catherine-de-Hatley resident was recently interviewed by The Record for a story written during National Organ and Tissue Donor Awareness Week in April.Berger told us he did not know from whom his life-altering kidney came, only that it belonged to a 54-year-old man who died of a brain hemorrhage in Montreal on Dec.19.Last week former Sherbrooke resident Cheryl Kouri, who works at Bonaventure Polyvalent School on the Gaspé coast, received a pile of recent Records in the mail.She sat in the staff room sharing them with another former Townshipper, Patsy MacDonald.While leafing through the newspapers, Kouri came upon the story of Reinhard Berger.As she read it, she realized the man from whom Berger had received the kidney was likely the brother of a longtime colleague who works an hour away.“She wondered if she should tell me.She was really afraid to open old wounds," Mona Parent told The Record.“But Patsy encouraged her to call me and I’m really glad she did.” Parent is 99.9 per cent sure Reinhard Berger had received one of her brother’s kidneys.She was thrilled and wrote The Record to tells us so.“I am the sister of a 54-year-old man who died of a brain aneurysm on Dec.19 in Montreal.We were told that his heart, kidneys and liver were successfully transplanted.“Although we know the issue of identities of donors can be a sensitive issue, there is a striking coincidence

cross-border drug smuggling ring in the Bedford region won’t be going on trial until next fall.Appearing in court earlier this week, the co-accused had a tentative trial date set for Sept.10.It will be trial by jury, taking part in both English and French, and could last as long as a year.The accused will face an array of charges, ranging from production of marijuana, trafficking and even gangsterism.Their arrests are in connection with Project Cure, a massive police investigation into the alleged workings of the group.Driver crashed into MNA The drunk driver who smashed head-on into the car of then-Johnson MNA Claude Boucher and his wife in March pleaded guilty this week in Granby to driving under the influence, driving with a suspended licence and to assaulting a police officer.Daniel Blais of Sherbrooke was sentenced to 12 months in jail.He has been in jail since his arrest, however, and that time will count as double, reducing his total time in prison.The crash occurred on Route 22 in Racine on March 14.Boucher and spouse Guylaine Ra-jotte went to hospital as a precaution following the accident, but suffered no serious injuries.Teen pleads guilty A teenager arrested in a Thetford Mines classroom when he brought a gun to school has pleaded guilty of breaking and entering, of the theft of the gun, and of illegally being in possession of a restricted weapon.The 14-year-old was turned in to police last week in a phone call when he brought the gun to the Polyvalente Thetford Mines.The gun was stolen from a home in East Broughton.The teen, who cannot be named, also pleaded guilty to the negligent use of a firearm.He will remain in detention until his next court appearance, on June 19.A psychiatric report has been requested by the court.Missing man

vanished from Douala Area Control’s radar screen.The crew had time for one distress call, described as a “Mayday!” followed by a call sign, without indicating the nature of the emergency.The jet crashed almost 20 kilometres from the airfield.African skies are generally hazardous — three per cent of the world’s departures, 27 per cent of the world’s accidents — but Kenya Airways itself has an impressive safety record.The aircraft involved in this mishap was only six months old.Since reaching a distance of almost Viewpoint George Jonas 20 km wouldn’t take a jetliner 13 minutes even in a slow climb, it’s possible that Flight 507 was attempting to return to the airport when it collided with the terrain.It’s only speculation at this point, but blundering into a torrential rainstorm could, in theory, have caused the twin engines to flame out, with insufficient altitude for the pilots to re-light them, but too far to glide the plane back to the field.Some rare meteorological phenomenon — massive hail or extreme turbulence — may also, in the ory, cause structural failure or render an aircraft uncontrollable.Then, there’s sabotage — always a possibility, until ruled out.Chances are, an official inquiry will come up with a probable cause for the disaster.This obviously matters a great deal in one sense, but in another sense it matters very little.Whatever the precise technological, aerodynamic, or atmospheric reasons for the crash, whatever the contributing human factors in maintenance or airmanship (if any), we know the jet plunged into the African jungle primarily because it flew over it.In other words, the jet crashed because we as human beings consider getting from Douala to Nairobi in four hours on a stormy night over inhospitable terrain important enough to do it by climbing aboard a fragile craft loaded with volatile fuel and launched into thin air.We know jungles are impenetrable, oceans are vast, mountains are shrouded in mist, and the air above them is unstable, unpredictable, unbreathable and violent.Earth doesn’t really support life, especially human life; our planet is The creation of community Kenya Airways Flight 507 nosedived into a mangrove swamp after taking off from Cameroon’s Douala airport last Saturday.When rescuers reached the site some 40 hours later, they found wreckage confined to a small area, indicating an acute angle of impact, and no survivors.Why?May 5 was a dismal night, with thunderstorms lurking in the vicinity, as they often do in that part of Africa.The Boeing 737-800 with 114 people aboard was about 13 minutes into a habitable only within a few degrees of temperature, inside a narrow band of atmospheric pressure and moisture.Nature routinely accelerates and decelerates beyond our endurance: if subjected to about six times the force of gravity, most of us will black out or “red out”.We can’t think straight much above 3,000 metres (if we’re lucky, for many of us can’t think straight at any altitude) and we’re even more challenged temporally — for our wake-sleep cycles barely let us to commute to our hunting grounds at our “natural” speed of locomotion beyond the range of a few miles.The insurmountable obstacles of geography, time, climate, and distance have confined mankind since creation.Our snail-pace and limited range was the real Tower of Babel that brought about our divisions.We may celebrate our “diversity" or lament it, but we wouldn’t be diverse in the first place if Boeing had set up shop outside the Garden of Eden.We owe the existence of our races, cultures, languages, religions, and civilizations today — for better or worse — to our inability to fly.The Wright-brothers remedied this about a 100 years ago, changing the world beyond recognition.They did so — there being no free lunch — at a price.More precisely, at a range of prices, extracted under a variety of circumstances.The most onerous is the price we have to pay for traversing the night skies between places like Douala and Nairobi — a trek that should take exhausting months, across the rainforests of Cameroon, the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and finally Kenya — in less than four hours, sitting in a plush seat, with a drink in our hands, as if we had never left our living rooms.The price is this: Every so often some of us must end up in a mangrove swamp, inextricably mixed with the lush vegetation, about 20 kilometres from the departure runway.George Jonas writes for the National Post.iii«theb i RECORD P.O.Bon 1200 SherbrookeJIH 516 or 1195

¦¦THE— h RECORD Friday, May 1 1, 2007 page 7 And the beat goes on and on, and on I like anniversary issues of magazines so I’ve been reading the 40th anniversary issue of Rolling Stone with great interest.It takes a look back at the political and cultural upheavals of the 1960s and ’70s and compares them with those of today.There are some fascinating interviews with such musicians as Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Mick Jagger Keith Richards and Neil Young.Journalists and politicians are included as well: Bill Moyers, Norman Mailer, Jimmy Carter, and George McGovern.The interviews include questions about the past and how important those changes were to creating the world of today.Every one of the celebrities worries about how global warming will affect the survival of humanity on this planet.They all feel that there has been less of a reaction to the war in Iraq compared with the Vietnamese War due to the lack of a draft.Right now, young Americans are not forced to fight and 3,000 deaths have not had the same impact on American life as the number of casualties that were sustained in Vietnam: 50,000 American dead and over a million Vietnamese.Nobody interviewed me so I’m going to throw in my two cents: I remember feeling greatly disillusioned after suffering through a downpour at an antiwar rally in New York City.“This is just a waste of time,” I thought, “They’ll end the war when they want to end the war.V/hy am I getting wet for nothing?Everybody is out there to hang out and just have a good time.” Cynicism is not a bad thing.It helps you to stop and reflect on what is going on.It makes you question your own motives and the motives of everybody around you.We should all be questioning politicians’ motives.It makes for a healthy society.When cynicism becomes crippling and when it turns into apathy, however, it just gets in the way.My despair probably had a lot to do with the fact that I was wet and shivering.In any case, I was wrong.Public opinion from Yippies to housewives had a strong effect on the war effort.It’s true that there was a lot of naivete and optimism about creating change that we don’t have in abundance today but I still have hope — a guarded hope but hope nonetheless — that we can do better in the near future.Once we get it through our thick skulls that global warming is going to turn our planet into a very real reality show like Survivor, we will start to change the way we live.It will probably be too late to return to the kind of luxurious lifestyle that we enjoy in 2007 but human beings will attack the problem because they will really be unable to do otherwise.Very few of us are ready to give up what we have now but our grandchildren will have no choice.It’s a pity that they won’t look back on us with anything but contempt for the world that we left them but that’s simply what they will get.As for the Iraqi War, the winds of change are blowing.Even CNN is turning against the war and if that isn’t a symptom of the changing of the guard, I don’t know what is.Fox News is a lost cause; they can’t afford to turn back now, but CNN is definitely singing a new song.It won’t be long now.Democrat Hilary Clinton’s initial support of the war is becoming more of a liability and Barack Obama’s longterm opposition toward the war is his strength.We can only hope that it’s not all American presidential election rhetoric.Either way, the people of Iraq will have a long hard road to recovery and you and I, folks, have no idea of what their life is like now or will be like 10 years from now.Maybe we old folks don’t like the rap-pin’ and the hippin’ and the hoppin’.We look back with fondness on The Beatles and The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix, while they look ahead to Fantasy and Kanye West and Feist and Broken Social Scene.Today we have terrorism and global warming.Yesterday, we had the Cold War and the atom bomb.It’s time that we come up with better options.I hope our kids do better than we did.Ellen Goldfinch may be reached at RADIOMOTHER@HOTMAIL.COM Somebody’s Mother Ellen Goldfinch Radier insists he’s truthful at Black trial Hearing continues By Mary Vallis CanWest News Service Chicago A combative David Radier insisted he is no longer a liar and is finally telling the truth as a defence lawyer for Conrad Black continued to attack his credibility Thursday.Edward Greenspan, a Toronto lawyer representing Black at his criminal trial in Chicago, argued Radier — a part owner of The Record and the star prosecution witness — may lie to the jury in order to secure a lenient sentence for himself after pleading guilty to fraud.As Black looked on impassively, his lawyer led Radier, his former deputy, through a series of meetings and telephone conversations he had with lawyers for a special committee that investigated Hollinger International’s business dealings in 2003.Wearing a sedate grey suit and tie — a stark contrast to the bright fuchsia tie he initially wore as his testimony began Monday — Radier admitted he had lied to the committee about controversial non-compete payments.“Was it easy for you to lie?” Greenspan asked during the cross-examination, beginning a series of rapid-fire questions.“No, sir,” Radier replied.“Did you stutter when you lied?” Greenspan asked.“Sir, I said I lied,” Radier said.“Was there a pause when you lied?” Greenspan said.“Sir, I told lies,” Radier said.“When you lie, do you look a certain way?” Greenspan asked.“Sir, that’s for others to determine,” Radier said.“I can’t view myself when I’m answering questions.” “So you might be lying now?” Greenspan asked.“False.I am not lying,” Radier shot back.Radier, 64, did not cave easily to Greenspan’s argumentative lines of questioning.Instead of giving straight answers, he often asked questions of his own and refused to acknowledge the veracity of transcripts of his interviews with investigators produced by Greenspan.Some members of the jury seemed bored as the men sparred.One female juror appeared to fall asleep, as she had earlier in the week during assistant U.S.attorney Eric Sussman’s direct examination of Radier.Another blew bubbles with a pink wad of gum and at times seemed more intrigued by the people in the public gallery than the witness on the stand.At one point, Radier accused Greenspan of taking one of his statements out of context.“You’re manoeuvring all over the place,” Radier told Greenspan.“If you don’t like my questions, tell me.Don’t give a speech,” Greenspan replied.The remark brought Sussman, the prosecutor, to his feet to object to Greenspan’s own “speech.” “I would ask both of you to save your speeches for another time,” Judge Amy St.Eve said.“Ask your question,” she then directed Greenspan.The U.S.government alleges Black, who is also a member of the House of Lords, and other senior Hollinger International executives misappropriated $60 million US in bonuses disguised as non-compete payments from Hollinger International during the sale of newspaper assets.Black, Peter Atkinson, Jack Boultbee and Mark Kip-nis have pleaded not guilty.Radier, on the other hand, pleaded guilty in 2005 and struck a deal with prosecutors for a 29-month sentence in exchange for his testimony against his former business associates.A judge has not yet approved the deal.During the cross-examination, Radier admitted he had previously lied by telling the committee the noncompete payments were “fair and reasonable,” that they had been approved by Hollinger’s audit committee and were required to complete the transactions.“You lied to save yourself, right?” Greenspan asked.“And others,” Radier replied.Please see Radler on Page 11 450 243-1556 800 692-3111 Do you have a competitive product that

correspondent Sherbrooke Wednesday’s McHappy Day resto event saw the collection of $30,000 that was handed over to Leucan Es-trie yesterday.“It is our ultimate goal to help better the lives of children in our community, and we are so happy to work with a company who shares that goal,” said charity spokeswoman Suzelle Lacroix.The Sherbrooke-based Leucan was created as parents of cancer-stricken children and health care professionals began to consider what more they could do.Since its foundation in 1978, the mission has been to help the healing and recovery of children with cancer and to give support to their families.Committed to research into pediatric oncology and to acquiring needed and expensive equipment, Leucan has witnessed impressive growth and diversification of its services to families in the last 10 years, and to Caroline Iannuzzi, a McDonald’s franchisee, supporting locals is a family objective.“My dad has owned McDonald restaurants since I was a young

Bilodeau.But she knew she’d always be okay By Davina Palik Special to The Record In just a few days, the North Hatley-born Heidi Monk turns 21 and those who know her are aware that she is not an easy person to shop for.It’s not so much a case of what do you get the girl who has everything, but rather what do you get the girl who doesn’t believe she deserves anything more than she already has.Two Christmases ago, Monk came up with a solution and told her friends and family to make a donation to a charity or to sponsor a child instead of buying her a gift.This year.Monk will celebrate her birthday in South Korea, where she is completing a year-long study abroad program with McGill University.Her dedication to righting the world’s wrongs has brought her there, where she is learning that there is hope for struggling nations.Monk grew up in North Hatley along with eight brothers and sisters, four of whom were adopted from Haiti.“Adopting siblings definitely made me aware of global inequality from a young age.“I realized that not all chil- COURTESY Heidi Monk saw what life might be like if she was destitute.dren had mums and dads and I was really lucky to have a family that loved me and that could financially provide for me,” she says.Her parents made sure their children grew up aware of the world around them.“We had a map of Africa in our playroom and my parents both had amazing stories - probably largely exaggerated - from their travels to all these ‘far off lands’.” Piles of National Geographic magazines lying around the house and monthly letters from the African children they sponsored taught Monk that the world was filled with disparities.“I realized that I was simply lucky.I had been born in Canada and from that moment on, no matter what happened, I would be okay.” Particularly bothersome to Monk was the fact that many children around the world did not have access to an education, while, as a Canadian, she received one free of charge.Despite these frustrations, Monk remained optimistic.By the time she began classes at Champlain College in Lennoxville, she was ready to make a difference.By getting involved with the school’s International Studies, Monk learned about non-governmental organizations and the work they do to help others.“I became positive,” she says.“I knew HIV/AIDS and malaria could be tackled.It is possible to do something about it; all it takes is the world to care.Seems simple really, but it’s so difficult [to do].” While in cégep.Monk went to Peru for a summer internship where she volunteered in orphanages.She recalls one particular encounter with a boy her age — then 18 — which she says she’ll never forget.“He was being kicked out of an orphanage, he had no relatives, no money, didn’t have a high school degree.What was he supposed to do?“I saw him, I saw myself.Same age, both there in an orphanage in Lima, crying, but such different lives ahead of us.” Monk gave the boy half her spending money for a train ticket.She says she will never stop wondering what happened to him.Back in South Korea, Monk is living a more uplifting adventure than she did in Peru.When asked what she has learned there over the last year, she says, “I guess that.it’s possible.Korea used to be among the poorest nations in the world in the 1940s.Today it has the 11th largest economy in the world.That’s huge.” Monk highly encourages everyone to go through the eyeopening experience.“As cliché as it is to say, people are people and there are way more similarities than differences.It has not been difficult to be here — I love it.And hey, I was able to do so many things, try so many things, taste so many things.that I simply can’t do at home.” If nothing else, Monk hopes everyone will do their part, whether it is sponsoring a child, donating money to the Champlain international initiative, or volunteering for organizations such as nabuur.com.“There’s a way for everyone to do something, no matter what their salary is, and I think it is a moral obligation to do so.” chocolate: Cont’d from Page 3 Tales were probably exaggerated RECORD Friday, May 1 1, 2007 page 11 Radler: Cont’d from Page 7 “You lied to save yourself, right?” Greenspan repeated.“And my associates,” Radler shot back.“You lied to save yourself, right?” Greenspan asked again.“Correct,” Radler said.“Because to you, Mr.Radler is No.1, correct?” “To me, Mr.Radler is No.1,” the witness conceded.“Aren’t you doing the same thing here?Aren’t you lying to save yourself?” Greenspan asked.“No, sir," Radler said.Radler went on to admit he never told the special committee that Black was the one who made the decision to give 25 per cent of the non-compete payments from U.S.Newspaper sales to Hollinger Inc., a company he controlled.Earlier in the week, the witness testified Black came up with the “template” for the payments.Radler said he had not told the special committee that many of the noncompete payments were not stipulations of the buyers in the transactions.He also admitted lying to his own lawyers.Radler’s testimony came to a dramatic close for the day when Greenspan argued Radler did not consider himself Black’s right-hand Man and made independent business decisions for the company.“Do you know what a right-hand man is?” Greenspan asked.“No,” Radler said.“The second in command?” Greenspan said.“Ah, OK," Radler said.“Is that your definition?It can mean a lot of things.” “What can it mean?” Greenspan asked.“It can mean a flunky,” Radler said.“You are not a flunky, correct?” Greenspan asked.“That doesn’t mean somebody won't call me that,” Radler said Wednesday’s hearing Conrad Black’s lawyer bluntly accused David Radler of lying and giving scripted answers to a jury to protect his “sweetheart deal” with the U.S.government on Wednesday.Edward Greenspan, a Canadian lawyer representing Black at his criminal trial in Chicago, tore into the prose-cution’s star witness during cross-examination.“I’m going to suggest to you that you know full well that if you come off your script, you know that the government will tell the judge that you’re a liar, don’t you?” Greenspan asked Radler.“You’re putting words in my mouth," Radler protested.“I have no script, sir.” During another exchange, Greenspan asked the witness, “You didn’t swear to tell the partial truth, correct?” “I swore to tell the truth,” Radler replied.The defence lawyer then asked Radler about newspaper purchases he had independently negotiated in the United States for the empire he was building with Black, who is also in the House of Lords, in the late 1980s.Greenspan noted the deals involved 133 non-compete agreements during the purchases.“You negotiated non-compete agreements with individuals, isn’t that correct?” Greenspan asked.“That’s correct,” Radler replied.The non-compete agreements included a $1.175 million US payment to the owner of a newspaper in Macon, Mo., during a $2.193 million US acquisition, and another $200,000 US non-compete payment to Carol Kilmer, who owned a newspaper in Kirksville, Mo.“I don’t want to ruin the line of questioning, but Carol Kilmer was one of the most formidable opponents we had ever known,” Radler said.The comment prompted a round of laughter in the courtroom; even Black smiled.The defence team is seeking to show that Radler was familiar with non-compete payments to individuals long before Black mentioned the notion to him in 2000, when Hollinger International was negotiating a $3.2 billion deal with CanWest Global Communications Corp.Radler had previously testified that in August 2000, it was Black who suggested the men give themselves personal non-compete payments in subsequent newspaper transactions.(“Conrad Black suggested that we insert ourselves in the non-compete process and I agreed,” Radler told the jury Tuesday.) The U.S.government alleges Black and other senior Hollinger International executives misappropriated $60 million US in bonuses disguised as non-compete payments from Hollinger International during the sale of newspaper assets in Canada and the United States.Black, Peter Atkinson, Jack Boultbee and Mark Kipnis have pleaded not guilty.Radler, on the other hand, struck what defence attorneys have mocked the “sweetheart deal” with prosecutors in 2005.The prosecution has agreed to a 29-month prison sentence for Radler, but a judge has not yet approved the deal, which is contingent on Radler’s testimony at his former colleagues’ criminal trial this week.Greenspan suggested the jury should not trust Radler’s testimony because he repeatedly lied to government investigators and even his own lawyers before agreeing to the pact.Radler remained plucky during Greenspan’s antagonistic questioning Wednesday afternoon, and at times asked Black’s lawyer for clarification that made the former newspaper executive sound like a lawyer himself.The defence emphasized that as Black and Radler’s newspaper empire grew, Radler had domain over their holdings in the United States.Black’s team is expected to argue Radler was the one in charge of the contentious non-compete agreements during the U.S.newspaper sales that are at the heart of the trial.Earlier in the day, Radler walked the jury through more of the deals involving non-compete payments for himself and Black.He testified that he did not inform Hollinger International’s board of directors or audit committee about the payments.“First of all, the buyers hadn’t really required the non-competes, and second of all, I knew the process of creating those non-competes was wrong,” Radler said.Edward Genson, another of Black’s lawyers, also moved for a mistrial after the prosecution successfully entered a series of their client’s “musings” into evidence.The memos, written in Black’s famously colourful prose and sent to senior executives in 13 boxes of personal documents that prosecutors obtained from Black’s office in Toronto after a court challenge in Ontario.Radler said he considered the documents Black’s “state of the nation” about Ravelston Corp., a private holding company through which senior executives controlled Hollinger International.In one memo dated Aug.25, 2000, Black described the “impressive return” on the initial investment thatvJie, Radier and Peter White had made by „ buying the Sherbrooke Record in 1969 and developing the company into one of the world’s largest publishing empires.(In 2007, Radler is once again a part owner of The Record.) “The goose keeps laying a golden egg every year and the best, by far, is yet to come,” Black wrote in a memo dated Aug.25, 2000.Genson argued the evidence “appeals to class prejudice” and moved for a mistrial.Judge Amy St.Eve denied the request.Graymont, a strong presence we caojcount on!

INSIDE Matt Court is king of the power lifters record Senior lacrosse returns to Sherbrooke see Page 14 Nbwsroom@sherbrookhrbcord.com Friday, May 1 1, 2007 page 13 He sets 19 records By Mike Hickey Special to The Record When Matt Court decided to abandon a potential university football career to concentrate on weight training he had no idea how quickly he would make a name for himself in his new found passion.“Last summer I realized that the thing 1 enjoyed the most about football was the training so I figured why not do it full time,” Court said in an interview yesterday.So the Gaspe native, who first came to Lennoxville to play football at Champlain College, embarked on a new adventure with very little support or guidance.Without a coach, Court set up his own practice routine and quickly discovered he was capable of becoming one of the country’s best power lifters.Yet even he is somewhat shocked by his overwhelming performance last week at the Canadian Power lifting Association National Championships in Toronto, a competition in which he set 14 Canadian and five junior world records for the 140-kilogram class.Court, who trains three to five times a week depending on his schedule, had a great seven days of practice leading into last week's competition, although he had mixed feelings as the competition date neared.“I felt prepared and confident but I was also nervous and not entirely sure what to expect since this was my first major tournament,” Court said.Whatever nerves he may have had quickly dissipated as Court began lifting and setting records.One of the world marks that he set on Saturday was for the squat, with a lift of 365 kgs.Since entering Champlain three years ago Court has become a full-time Lennoxville resident, spending his summers working with the maintenance department at Champlain.He is engaged to Grace Buchanan and has just finished his first year in education at Bishop’s and plans on a teaching career.However, his recent successes have not gone unnoticed.“People are starting to notice me and there are a few companies that have expressed interest in sponsoring me," Court said.“Right now we are just mulling them over.” Sponsorships are key in the world of power lifting because they help fund trips and training, allowing the power A J LfL* i ’ ’ 1 Wm i f 1 j y ,| j I yi COURTESY Lennoxville s Matt Court set a stunning number of Canadian and world records last weekend.PERRY BEATON Matt Court in civvies.lifters to participate in events throughout the world.And if Court can maintain his development at the senior level in the coming years, sponsorship and funding will not be a problem.Do Or Die PERRY BEATON/ FILE PHOTO The Sherbrooke Saint-François must win tonight’s game against the Summum Chiefs of Saint-Jean.The home team is down three games to zip in the hockey-and-hijinx LNAH best-of-seven finals.Tonight’s game is at 8 p.m.at Sherbrooke’s Palais des Sports.If the Saint-François win, they'll travel to the Colisée Laval for a 7 p.m.matchup on Sunday. page 14 Friday, May II, 2007 Senior lacrosse RECORD SPORTS returns to Preparing for the 2008 Hockey Championships Sherbrooke tonight Extreme hosts Valley field at Julien Ducharme By Mike Hickey Special to The Record During the 1970s the Sher-b r o o k e Olympiques were a dominant team in the Senior Quebec League but the local program was disbanded in the 1980s for a variety of reasons.However, senior lacrosse returns to Sherbrooke tonight when the Sherbrooke Extreme hosts the Val-leyfield Dynamos at the Centre Julien Ducharme.This after an absence of several years during which the Windsor Eagles were the only senior team in the Eastern Townships.Despite being in its first year of existence, head coach Damien Roy believes the Extreme can not only be competitive in the six-team circuit, but be in the fight for a championship banner.“I feel we will be very competitive in our first year,” Roy said in an interview yesterday, “We have an outstanding goal tender in Pascal Nolet, players from 1903 last year’s junior championship team and a core of solid players such as Jimmy Southall, Mitch Young and Andv Barber.” Sherbrooke opened the regular season with a 12-12 overtime draw with the LaSalle Brasseurs.Southall led the way with six goals and three assists while Young had three goals and two assists including the game-tying tally that allowed the Extreme to come away with a point.Long sticks: Admission for home games is $6 for adults, $3 for youths between the ages of 12 and 17, and there’s free admission for children under the age of 12.Season tickets are now available ($40 for a pack of eight that can be used for any game) and interested fans can contact Donald Demers at 819-212-2199 or go the Brasserie Dauphin.the Dauphin, one of the team’s many sponsors, will be the Reservations Td.819-837-2966 Fax:819-837-2780 Tournament spaces still available!

Canada, Quebec, the United States, and three American states (Vermont, New Hampshire and Massachusetts) — was too great for such a short time period.We want to thank all our partners, who did not hesitate to give their time and support to this project.They understand the importance of putting it off until 2008,” said Daniel Manibal, president and executive director of the event.“They have already accomplished an amazing feat, and we want to assure them of our determination to make the Montreal-Boston Tour a reality.This tour goes far beyond the realm of a simple cycling event, helping to promote the beauty of Quebec and New England.” Beer-leaguers pay their own way to world hockey glory By Dan Barnes CanWest News Service MYnsCHI, Russia Only one hockey rivalry is worth $3,900 a pop and that’s Canada/Russia.But these guys aren’t watching, they’re playing.Teams of beer-leaguers from Vancouver and Alberta’s Fort McMurray and Fort Saskatchewan spent almost $4,000 per player to suit up for three games each against senior squads in St.Petersburg and one more in Moscow.And it turns out the trip has actually been priceless.It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience," said Glen Edwards, the Vancouver Voyageurs’ 38-year-old goalie.“Due respect to Sweden, Czech Republic and all good hockey countries, when you think of the Canadian perspective, the only real kind of hockey country other than Canada is Russia.The games have kind of shown that.Just the appreciation when you wear the jersey around town is incredible.” They played at a great rink in St.Petersburg, complete with a high-quality dressing room setup.They had their own stalls, an adjoining spa and a draft beer tap.Hockey heaven.The anthems were played before the games and each goal was announced over the PA The players and some spouses then flocked to Mytischi Arena to watch Canada beat Germany 3-2 at the World Hockey Championship.It was a fun time.Everybody exchanged gifts.I think we gave them a bag of flags and stuff and they gave us postcards, hats, scarfs, wooden spoons with pictures on them,” said Jeff Gresham of the Fort Saskatchewan Oil Barons.“We played good in the first game.We weren’t as hung over,” he chuckled.They lost their othectwo matches to go 1-2 while Vancouver is 1-1-1 and the Fort McMurray No-Stars are 0-3.They could use the help of Rob Jared, a right winger who organized this trip for them but wasn’t able to go.He found a tumor in November and was diagnosed with Hodgkin s lymphoma in January.The 50-ytar-old stayed home for chemotherapy treatment.“We all tip our glass to him,” said his good friend Bud Drover, a 43-year-old defenceman for the No-Stars.“Without him we probably wouldn’t be here today.” Jared appreciates the sentiment even more than he did the last phone call they gave him from St.Petersburg.They called the other night and they re in a bar.I can barely hear them but I know they’re just gibbled,” Jared said over the phone from Fort McMurray. sAhHmmiii *¦ ' i * i -k * ¦* f hfmpn Friday, May 1 1, 2007 page 15 In Memoriams Death Death Deaths BUZZELL, Charles -

{ Composed by jAfc Verna Mahannah Patterson c different state, but I am afraid of how Cindy will react.I love my daughter and would do anything for her, but is putting my physical and mental health in jeopardy really going to help her?—Lost Mom Dear Lost: Of course not, and you already know that.It apparently doesn’t matter where you live, Cindy’s school-work still suffers.And the constant up heaval creates instability, which is not good for either of you, plus it gives Cindy the impression that she can push you around.Find a job that allows you to live decently and independently, and arrange for Cindy to have counseling through her school.She won’t like your assertiveness, but it will be better for both of you in the long run.Dear Annie: My friend, “Nola,” has been divorced for five years.My husband and I have been as supportive as possible.We listen to her problems about the ex-husband, the kids, the boyfriend, the house, the money, the job, etc.After five years, however, not much has changed for her.In the meantime, my life has gotten complicated with kids and minor health, business and marital issues.I don’t have the energy to be so involved with Nola’s problems anymore.She senses me pulling away, and her feelings are hurt.It’s not that I don’t care, and I’ve tried explaining this, but all she feels is the distance, and that makes me sad.What should I do?— The Ex-Best Friend Dear Ex: Relationships shouldn’t be so one-sided.For five years, you’ve been a shoulder to cry on for Nola, but shoulders get soggy, and if Nola can’t understand that you have your own problems, she’s not the friend you think she is.Youi family’s needs come first.Stop feeling guilty about it.Dear Annie: As an elderly person with limited resources and space, I have little use for more “stuff.” While some of the suggestions by “Gifting Dilemma” (who does not appreciate charitable donations) would make welcome presents, one of my favorite gifts this past holiday season was a “wall” in a Habitat for Humanity house, given in my name by a niece and her husband.I had no problem with it not being a charity of my choice.1 would have been happy with any donation they selected.— Grateful Aunt in North Carolina Dear Grateful Aunt: A lot of oldei readers who are financially comfortable prefer donations.We especially like the wall in a Habitat house.What a great idea.Dear Annie: This is in response to “Grossed Out in Connecticut,” who complained about people who talk with theii mouths full.I can tell him why I do it.We elderly have to speak whenever we have some thing to say — mouth full or not.If we don’t, we may forget what point it was we were trying to make.— Highland, Ind.Dear Highland: We understand the need to speak before the thought leaves your head, but can you please try to swallow first or cover your mouth with a nap kin?Otherwise, those watching may be a bit distracted and miss your point anyway.Annie’s Mailbox is written by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar, longtime edi tors of the Ann Landers column.*Tl* page 18 Friday, May 11, 2007 Alley Oop 7 WEl H Efc£ CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created Irom quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter in the cipher stands for another.Today’s clue: B equals Y “SRVFZRHV RP UPPUHZRJGGB J LJPEIGRHU RKUJ; J MCLJH’P MUJWCH RP FUD ZCHVIU.” - FUDLRCHU VRHVCGK PREVIOUS SOLUTION - "You know who the critics are’ The men who have failed in literature and art.” - B.Disraeli — - ™ i Ml ¦Heew—__ ^RECORD CELEBRITY CIPHER by Luis Campos Celebrity Cipher cryptograms are created Irom quotations by famous people, past and present Each letter in the cipher stands lor another.^ Today's clue: W equals K “HZUPU’N EGU TRY SZE SAYY RYSRVN HZAGW EK VEX RN VEXGT, NHPEGT RGM ZRGMNELU - VEXP LEHZUP.” - NXNRG M.RGMUPNEG Sf-S OUI‘V3N Aq/002 (o) _ nmrt PI°6u!q euoiouen - „ en6uo} jsq si uodeeM s ueiuo/v\ E esP- ^imoseui e Aneiiuassa s^uiigSij,, - NOlimos SnOIABiHH Kit n’ Carlyle THEoE.HOLES WERE DUG VERY RECENTLY/T- ^ hurry; this way; » way; yi CAN < :-™c) L1RC WC'fcE MAYBE W6 TOO LATE CATCH HIM AT GOLD MINE.'WV.O 2007 by NEA.Inc wwwicom.cs com kitncarlyle@comcast.net 1I5 ffrM'fm IRS.rt spite YûD Of TUNA A^t> ode ip n\o\K£, i mrBf Tax © 2007 by NEA, Inc www.comics.com Herman 5-11 0 Laughingstock International Inc./dist.by United Media, 2007 “Let’s try once more.We could get lucky the third time.” Arlo & Janis JA0I5'tMJ/6; YOU WEJ?e TAIKIUÛ iu your sceei* The Born Loser AH, SPRING,,, mît PftfciJDwi'e£$irTiu& < ATM KmMTmz.'vlHEH NYOUNGfAKNSFANCY^ rums TO THOUGHTS OF., O O For Better or For Worse BASEBALL I PONT WANT TO REST __v ^ i_n_r ¦ I.rl , -fHE PAPER AND'HAVE .SOME TEA?~ YOUR FEET ARE SO COUD!
