Negotiations with daycare workers falter f T'|he threat of a daycare workers I strike in the Estrie region now JL seems like an inevitability as negotiations between the union and employers have broken down.While across Quebec talks between the two parties have been progressing well, according to a statement from the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CSN), of which the Estrie union of daycare workers is affiliated, negotiations in the region were ended last Friday.“Our counterparts at the negotiating table showed little will to deploy all the necessary means to quickly conclude a satisfying deal,” union president Debbie Fennerty said in the statement.“If they do not conform to the requirements of the negotiating protocol, we will remind them that our members gave us strong mandates for pressure tactics, including five strike days.” The daycare workers union, employers, and the provincial department of family and the elderly agreed about a protocol to intensify negotiations last December.This protocol included an agreement from the union that they would suspend their strike mandate until Feb.5 in order to focus on negotiations.That date is quickly approaching, however, and with the break down of talks last Friday, it does not look as though the labour conflict will be resolved before workers begin to strike.It has now been over 22 months that the daycare workers have been without a collective agreement.ConTd on page 5 Investors, former employees unite A Cowansville factory revival PATRICK LACROIX Employee Wayne Kopf with snowboard and ski

‘Géopolitique de l’infini’ examines our relationship with nature, space and the world.In Photo-synthèse (2004), Jean-Pierre Aubé makes tangible the minute variations in light in a space, while his new project is a visual and aural depiction of the Exoplanètes (2011) located outside our solar system.Patrick Beaulieu’s project Ventury (2010-11) tells the story of a cross-border North American odyssey in pursuit of the wind, while his installation Battements (2007-11) features a feather of a migratory bird subjected to movement and light which transform its nature.Intrinsically tied up with questions of landscape, these unusual projects enter into a relationship with space, immense and impossible to grasp, that creates a breach in the infinite.They formulate a geopolitics which lingers on the space between and above things.Viewing the work of these two artists together makes it possible to make various connections between them.Their attention to natural phenomena, based on removing or recording elements of the landscape; the way their work is articulated around concepts such as movement, circulation, waves, flow, frequency, pulsation, interval, rhythm, density, saturation and circularity; the accent they place on process as an integral part of the work; their shared interest in invisible or unfathomable circulations: these are some of the motifs that can be glimpsed by placing their work in dialogue.While Patrick Beaulieu seeks to create a “contemplative bewilderment”, the images and sound waves of Jean- Pierre Aubé’s installations generate a kind of constant chirping that lends them their captivating quality.This aspect of Jean-Pierre Aubé and Patrick Beaulieu’s work suggests the poetry of the concept of infinity: do we view their work the way we observe a starry sky or a flock of birds, with unending fascination?Inspired by the observation of immediate and distant environments, the work of Jean-Pierre Aubé is based on the recording of natural phenomena or the particulars concerning them using receivers and antennae he develops himself.Seeking to grasp invisible phenomena, the material he collects is then manipulated technologically, creating works of art using the treatment, interpretation and transformation of complex data into visual and aural content.Attentive to the invisible currents underlying the lives of the planet’s inhabitants, Patrick Beaulieu creates shared in situ installations, videos and interventions in various locations which bring out the less evanescent aspects of an experience: A journey, putting oneself to the test.His work expresses a whole through its details: A voyage and border crossing are contained in the feather of a migratory bird and that of a tree in the rustling of its leaves in the wind.The curator, writer and part-time art history instructor Véronique Leblanc is interested in questions of process, context and relations, as well as the connections between art, ethics and politics.In 2010 she co-curated with Louise Déry the exhibition Artur Zmijewski: Scénarios de dissidence at the Galerie de I’UQAM.She has won the Canadian Art Foundation’s third annual Writing Prize.Sporobole,74, rue Albert, Sherbrooke.Brome-Missisquoi Youth Foundation’s annual Valentine’s Day Dinner A love affair with the community Cowansville If you’re always on the lookout for new and unique ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day, the Brome-Missisquoi Youth Foundation has something that will not only please your palate but also make a difference in the fives of young people in the region.The Foundation, a non-profit, philanthropic organization that maintains three Houses of Hope for at-risk youth from Montérégie; is putting together a five-course gourmet fundraising dinner on Thursday, Feb 9, at 1’Entre-deux, the culinary school run by the Brome-Missisquoi Vocational Training Centre and located at 180 Adélard-Godbout in Cowansville.The sumptuous Valentine’s Day meal will be prepared and catered by professional cooking students at the Brome-Missisquoi campus, which is shared by the Eastern Townships School Board and the Commission Scolaire du Val-des-Cerfs.“It’s youth helping youth,” says Brome-Missisquoi Youth Foundation president Josée Carpentier.“Not only is it an opportunity to do something special for Valentine’s Day, it is also a great way to support the students at the culinary school while helping youngsters in the local group homes cope with difficult situations at a vulnerable time in their fives.” Proceeds from the gourmet dinner— which costs $100 per ticket—and the sale of items at an on-site auction will go toward various maintenance and upkeep projects at the three group residences.The centres include a francophone home, an anglophone home (the only such facility in Montérégie for English-speaking youth aged 12-18), and a bilingual home for older adolescents at risk.In addition to receiving a tax receipt for a significant portion of the $100 contribution, friends and lovers can expect to partake of a truly memorable experience in a romantic décor befitting the occasion.The menu—a veritable gastronomic delight—features such delicacies as warm goat cheese salad with honey-infused vinaigrette; orange tomato and ginger soup; duck confit in a port wine sauce; pistachio poultry soufflé; and as- sorted desserts.Over the past 12 years, roughly 300 teens in difficulty have benefited from the services offered by the Foundation’s Houses of Hope, rebuilding their fives in a caring environment and avoiding placement in detention centres.“The need to maintain such youth facilities is as acute as ever,” remarks Carpentier.“So too is the need to raise funds to maintain the homes, and this is being done through individual and corporate donations as well as assorted campaigns the Foundation runs throughout the year.People have been very generous with their support of the three youth homes, and it is our hope they will continue to provide this support by joining us at the Valentine’s Day gourmet dinner,” adds the Foundation president.For further information or to reserve your tickets, please contact Joshua Bleser at 450-919-0510 or joshua.bleser@gmail.com.Submitted by Joshua Bleser.BMYF vice-president Ben by Daniel Shelton MUSTVE FARTHER THAN I THOUGHT J The Record newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com Tuesday, January 24, 2012 Page 3 As the syringe did have blood on it, there is a minor risk of HIV contamination Man stuck with dirty syringe in Hart store Second such incident at Hart in less than two weeks An innocent shopping trip at the Carrefour de l’Estrie turned into a frightening experience for a Coat-icook man this past weekend as he was stuck with a syringe contaminated with blood.Twenty-eight-year-old Jonathan Champagne was at the Carrefour to try and take advantage of sales at the mall’s Hart store.It was while trying on a pair of pants that the incident occurred.“Saturday morning we were called to go to the Hart store in the Carrefour de l’Estrie,” explained Sherbrooke Police Service (SPS) spokesperson Martin Carrier.“On site, a client tried on a pair of pants, put his hand in the pocket and lanced himself on a syringe.” Champagne went to the emergency room at the Centre hospitalier de Coat-icook where he was given multiple vaccines and medications, reportedly costing over $1,000.Carrier was not aware of the current condition of Champagne or whether he had received any test results.As the syringe did have blood on it, there is a minor risk of HIV contamination, and Champagne will have to wait at least six months to find out whether he has been infected, taking the proper precautions along the way.According to Carrier, this is actually the second such incident in the same Hart location in less than two weeks.On Jan.10, a 63-year-old woman in the store was also stuck with a used syringe found in clothing.One employee told Radio-Canada that an additional two syringes had been found in clothing, though there were no other injuries in those cases.That would bring the total to four.Consequently, the SPS has launched an investigation into the matter.“We do not have many details concerning the suspect so we are asking anyone with information to contact us," Carrier stated.Other local media have reported that there were no security cameras in the Hart store, but Carrier said he could not divulge that type of information at this time.Though they do not yet have a suspect, Carrier said that whoever left the used syringes in the clothing could face charges of criminal negligence causing injury.It was reported Monday afternoon that Champagne might also be initiating a lawsuit against Hart for hiding the truth about other situations in which syr inges were found at the store.The Hart store in question will be closing its doors on Jan.31.Delivery service issued notice from Coq Rôti owners The independent delivery service started by three entrepreneurs in Sherbrooke has been sent a notice from the owners of the Roi du Coq Rôti encouraging them to cease their activities.Owners Réjean and Alain Perreault apparently sent the notice to the three individuals who started up the delivery service, Karim Hamrouni, Mario Provost and Daniel Lise, last Friday.In the notice, the restaurant owners also reportedly forbid the start-up business from using their establishment's name or products for commercial gains.Meanwhile, the three Sherbrookers behind the delivery service, which brought food from the chicken restaurant to over 100 people during its reopening, took last week to restructure their new business.According to Radio-Canada, the service may be called “Sherbrooke livraison" and could deliver a variety of products from restaurants, pharmacies and other stores.The Roi du Coq Rôti owners are not the only ones looking into this new delivery business.As reported in The Record Monday, the Confederation of National Trade Unions (CSN) is calling on the general public to boycott the service, which they say is profiting off the lost jobs of the restaurant's former delivery drivers.Tire CSN is also investigating the legality of the business and its compliance with labour and tax laws.Hébert back as PQ candidate in Saint-François The Parti Québécois announced Sunday that Réjean Hébert will once again be their candidate in the Saint-François electoral district during the next provincial elections.“I’m happy to be able to count on Réjean once again,” party chief Pauline Marois said in a statement.“He is a doctor well-known among his peers and the population.At a time when health is one of the priorities of Quebecers, his candidacy adds an experience and important knowledge to our team.” Hebert, who acted as dean of the faculty of medicine and health sciences at the Université de Sherbrooke from 2004 to 2010, is a geriatrician, a gerontologist and an epidemiologist.He is also the founding director of the Research Center on Aging at the University Institute of Geriatrics of Sherbrooke and the Quebec Network on Aging Research, and councils the Quebec national institute of public health, among other work.The health industry experience is something the PQ is focusing on as invaluable to their team.“Rejean Hébert is a competent man engaged in the improvement of our health system and the adaptations of our society to the needs of the elderly,” Marois continued in the statement.Hébert, who also contributed an opinion piece on home care in Canada to The Record printed Jan.13, 2012, replaced Mariette Fugère as PQ candidate in the district for the 2008 elections.The forthcoming provincial elections, likely to take place in 2013, will be his second elections.COURTESY Réjean Hébert will be the PQ.candidate in the Saint-François electoral district in the next provincial elections.Long-time Quebec Liberal Party (QLP) incumbent Monique Gagnon-Tremblay, who has been the tional assembly (MNA) for the riding since 1985, will thus be facing off against the same opponent that gave her a good fight in the 2008 general election.Hébert received over 41 per cent of the vote and was defeated by Gagnon-Tremblay with 46 per cent, representing only an additional 1,500 votes.This was the closest election for Gagnon-Tremblay since she won her seat over two decades ago.Gagnon-Tremblay is currently the provincial minister of international relations, and the minister of the French language.The Saint-François riding includes the Lennoxville, Fleurimont and Bromp-ton boroughs of Sherbrooke as well as Waterville, North Hatley, Compton, Fast Hereford, Coaticook and Stanstead-Fast, and a few other areas.Students fined for playing harmonica on bus member of the na- Two students each received a $146 fine from Sherbrooke police for playing harmonica while onboard a Sherbrooke Transport Service (STS) bus, and refusing to stop when asked.The two individuals got onto an STS bus this past weekend with their instruments and were reportedly told by the driver that they were not allowed to play the instruments in the vehicle.There is in fact an STS rule regarding instruments on busses that states that playing in the vehicles is not permitted.Despite the warning, the two individuals continued to play the instruments prompting the dri- ver to tell them to leave the bus.Only one of the two students complied and left the bus, while the other refused to get off.Sherbrooke police were phoned and intervened in the situation.They had to tell the second individual to get off of the bus three times before he complied, according to reports.The bus driver also claims that one of the students grabbed his arm during the incident.If the students do chose to contest the tickets, they may be well prepared as the two of them are reportedly both law students.Massawippi Dart League Benefit Dart Tournament for Maison Aube Lumière Saturday,

reached.Launched in 1999, the anti-inflam- matory drug prescribed most often for arthritis was widely used until a clinical study revealed an elevated risk for cardiovascular events, such as heart attack and stroke, after 18 months of treatment.Shop locally’- .•.- iiléftii Business Directory ArboExcellence Stephen Goddard, prop.Certified Arborist ISA QU-0103A Professional Services ¦ Tree

Sherbrooke,^ ^ 564-0033 Pharmaceutical company, Merck Frosst Canada promptly and voluntarily pulled the drug from the Canadian and international markets on Sept.30, 2004 Class actions were filed across the country on behalf of those who used or purchased the drug alleging that those who ingested Vioxx were placed at an increased risk of experiencing the dangerous side effects and that Merck failed to provide a proper warning of the increased risks.Pending court approval, a significant payment settlement of up to $36,881,250, depending upon the number of claims, has been reached.The settlement includes payments to provincial health insurers, towards legal costs, and for notice and claims administration.Individuals or their estates may be eligible if they took Vioxx and then experienced a myocardial infarction, sudden cardiac death or ischemic stroke, their spouses and children may also be eligible for payment.While the allegations haven’t been proven in court and Merck denies them, legal counsel are hailing the settlement as a positive step forward."While these were difficult and protracted negotiations, Merck should be commended for dealing with this issue in a fair and considered manner,” stated Michael Peerless of Siskinds LLP, one of the lead counsel for the plaintiffs who negotiated the settlement."This is an excellent result in a very challenging case" stated Harvey Stros-berg, one of the counsel representing Canadian Vioxx class members."Under the terms of the settlement, eligible claimants will receive payment based on the type of event they experienced and a number of other factors including duration of use of Vioxx and risk factors".If approved by the courts, further notices will be published with information on how to file a claim for payment.Class members can find additional information at www.vioxxnationalclassaction.com.Students challenged to create charitable buzz Post-secondary students are being invited to get their creative

woman returned home from a walk and noticed that one of her residence’s windows had been broken.Upon entering the home she realized that someone had been inside and had gone through her belongings.“At the scene police noticed tracks that started at the home and went to another residence in the sector,” according to Memphremagog police spokesperson Paul Tear.That residence was the home of one of the two young suspects.The other suspect was apprehended later in the day according to Tear.During interrogation of the suspects, it was revealed that the two teens had been involved in multiple other crimes.“Following the incident we found out that they had done another breaking and entering a few days earlier and had tried but failed to do another one," Tear said.The two suspects had also shoplifted from a dépanneur on an earlier occasion.“We always look at the modus operand! and it corresponded to those crimes,” Tear added.As both of the suspects are minors, the case has been transferred to the youth tribunal.Man arrested for drugged driving Memphremagog police ar- ving according to the police who drugs is also an offense, as much rested a man from dri- pulled him over,”

daycare Cont’d from page 1 As reported in The Record, on Nov.30 workers held small demonstrations in front of their respective daycares in the Eastern Townships and across Quebec that stalled the opening by an hour and left many parents late for work.The union said at the time that the demonstrations were meant to educate parents about their current labour fight.A full strike day would evidently have greater implications for parents who depend on daycares though.The Estrie union of daycare workers, associated with the health and social services sector of the CSN, comprises over 900 members from 45 different locations and five coordinating offices.A Cowansville factory revival — Cont’d from page 1 are confident that they have all of the ingredients for renewed success and, with

approachable personality and I often end up in detailed conversations with complete strangers.I say lucky for me because it gives me a constant source of inspiration, and plenty of material for my writing.I get my best ideas sitting in a restaurant with my computer, typing whatever comes to mind, and it's often at these nually with about 100 employees.While Samuel and the 1-5 group are ambitious, they are also cautious.There are currently six employees but many more are expected to be hired as the business grows.For the first year they will focus their energies on refur- bishing used skis and snowboards and creating prototypes, after which they hope to return to production.Only a small section of the building is occupied by 1-5; the rest is vacant, and lies open as a promise of large-scale operations in the future.The turn-out of visitors for the inauguration of 1-5, on Jan.21, was extremely encouraging to the share-holders and employees, who were on hand to talk about their work.Take the pressure off moments when strangers like to unburden themselves.— Recently I was enjoying a glass of wine at a local restaurant with a comfy bar area, and a great happy hour.ok so maybe more than one glass :), and a gentleman who is also a regular was enjoying his dinner and wine as well.As we all joked with the bartender, the conversation, naturally, turned to relationships, men versus women, and comparing notes.He was particularly pained, he talked about his wife and how she seemed to be unhappy, despite all his efforts to make her happy.He talked about all he did, how he tried to surprise her with flowers occasionally, cooked her dinners, did household errands, but still, she often seemed annoyed or unhappy.As I listened I understood his wife.Being a woman of midlife age I know what it is to be evaluating your life, to be wondering, what’s next?Is the last 40 years what you want for the next 40 years?But he seemed so frustrated, and honestly, he did not seem to get it.1 asked him, “Are you upset because she is unhappy or because she is not ‘cured’ by what you are doing?” He looked at me with a startled expression.“What?” I explained to him that usually our happiness is effected by so many things that we cannot ever give credit to just one thing.Unhappiness works the same.So while he was trying very hard to do what he thought should make her happy, he needed to know that he was not the only thing that affected her, day and night.We then talked about how his frustration was probably affecting her too, giving her something else to worry about and distracting her from whatever the core issue was that was making her unhappy.I suggested that maybe he should think about why he was frustrated, was it because he really wanted her to be happy, or was it because he was not able to fix her?Sometimes we just have to understand and accept that there are things going on that we cannot affect or fix.We just need to be there, for our friends, our family and loved ones, just open and ready to help when called on.If you love someone you can’t force them to be who you want, what you want, or in the mood you want; you can only offer support.“Take the pressure off” I told him, “Just be there for her” Please comment, share, argue.Katey.hart@yahoo.com Thank you for reading, Katey Subscribe Name: RECORD Address: to The Record The

newsroom@sherbrookerecord.com The Record If God should and does get thanked and praised for victories, what is the proper response if the team loses?The Tebow factor si Tom Cavanagh Even if you are not a football fan you should know Tim Tebow.He is not just a good professional quarterback but in truth a national celebrity in North America and beyond.It may strike some as surprising but his fame is premised as much on his propensity for praying in public as his athletic prowess.In fact he has added a new word to our vocabulary “the Tebow” which is his signature prayer posture consisting of dropping one knee and bowing his head in thanks to the Lord and asking for - what?World Peace?Nope.A cure for cancer?Nope.Dump Harper?Nope, (alas).None of the above.In fact he is simply thanking the Lord for touchdowns and victories for his football team, the Denver Broncos.In addition to the “Tebow", Tim's faith led him to write the numbers for biblical verses on the eye paint placed under his eyes prior to games.He favoured two verses in particular: Proverbs 3: 5-6 and John 3:1-6.Other players painted messages as well, but Tebow is far and away the best known.When the league finally decided to ban the practice the new regulation became .known as the Tebow rule.A further indication of his fame is based on such things as the 90 million google hits generated in response to Tebow’s 3:1-6 message.Tebow has a huge fan base in Denver but his fame spreads far beyond that city and state.Cohorts of Christians love him, but not all.There are Christians and others who despise him.Frankly he makes me cringe but I don’t hate him.I think it was George Carlin who first said there should be an eleventh commandment - “Keep thy religion to thyself." We have to be careful however because polls have proven that vast numbers of sports fans pray and thank God for team victories.1 will admit doing the same for my beloved blue, blanc, rouge.Yes and I may do it again, but I’m not entirely serious, and is probably best viewed as a kind of Pavlovian dog reaction.Doing it regularly on the field in front of 40-50 thousand people is something different and rather bizarre.If folks want to honour Tebow, do so, but it’s a weird business.Doesn’t God have other more weighty things to think about.What I would love to see would be Tebow, after the recent loss and elimination at the hands of the New England Patriots, heave his helmet against a wall and turn the air blue with oaths.“Glory be to God, the Broncos are eliminated from the playoffs - and Tebow is actually human." People who believe they are in direct contact with God are a scary bunch.Think only of George W.Bush who felt God gave him the go ahead to invade Iraq.It still makes me shudder.The deaths, harm, suffering and tribulation from that stupid decision live on today and the resulting fall out will be a source of unending trouble for the world.Some may say ‘W" is a fluke; just one in a kazillion.I’m not so sure.In a recent New Yorker cartoon a quarterback being interviewed after a losing game responds as follows: “The first thing I want to do is blame God for the defeat today.” Most people will get a chuckle from that but it does raise a quasi-serious question.If God should and does get thanked and praised for victories, what is the proper response if the team loses?Denver fans were on a very strange trip indeed after Tebow’s brief three game winning streak.Miraculous?Hardly.But the fans seemed to believe the team would never again ever lose a game.Weird.When I was young in Catholic school and university, we used to pray for victory before games.For some reason by Grade 13 the prayer was changed to the wish that no one got hurt.We won a provincial championship that year but I have no illusions about any cause effect factor.The following is admittedly a digression.I first heard the name Tebow when he became a famous player at the University of Florida.He played from 2006 to 2009 during which time he won a — ITII ¦¦ RECORD P.0.Box 1200 Sherbrooke J1H 5L6 or 1195 Galt E, Sherbrooke JIG 1Y7 Fax for Newsroom only: 819-569-3945 e-mail: newsroom^sherbrookerecordcom Wkbmtf :

victories, etc., and led the team to a BÇS championship in 2008.Before that I had never seen the name Tebow.I know nothing of its origins, but somehow a question has lodged itself in my mind.Perhaps it’s a result of living so long in Quebec.Given the changes in spelling that occurred with newly arrived immigrants over centuries, is it possible that long ago an overworked and impatient customs official might have heard the name Thibault and ‘simplified’ it to spell out T-e-b-o-w?We have not heard the last of Tebow.It’s a calmer saner world since the Bronco’s were eliminated but fame still beckons.He’s a superb athlete and they want him on Dancing With The Stars.Maybe he’ll, involve God.Someone should warn the competition.Letter Dfar Editor: I have tried hard to inure myself to Steven Black’s religious polemic, but his latest rant against euthanasia, abortion, assisted suicide and the decline in Christian beliefs, goes a step too far.His statement that “Since Evolution (sic) replaces God as explanation for how there can be living beings writing columns in newspapers, there is little solid ground left to justify the protection of human lives,” leaves me shaking my head in disbelief.Mr.Black is obviously either unfamiliar with or completely dismissive of the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’, which, with its axioms of equality for all, whatever an individual’s gender, sexual preference, race, religious beliefs etc., goes far beyond the capricious Christian god in its protection of the individual, and, worldwide, it has a far stronger legal grounding.Furthermore, his implication that a lack of belief in the Christian notion of heaven and hell is the reason for sev- eral recent high profile murders and mass murders is simply ridiculous, and in doing so, he both ignores the individual factors and circumstances that led to these horrific events, and conveniently forgets the countless people who have been, and continue to be, murdered by people who do believe in these notions.Lastly, let us hope Mr.Black never has to face a prolonged and agonising death with insufficient pain relief.His veiled judgment of the individuals that suffer so much that they would prefer to have their life ended has an unpleasant ‘Thou shall suffer’ ring to it.Mr.Black’s objection to euthanasia is on religious grounds.In denying someone the right to end their life when suffering from an incurable and agonising disease, he is simply trying to impose his religious beliefs on others.Yours, Richard Williams Stanstead The Record to meet with Mayor

respected person in the football world.” Addona heading to Montreal By Jesse Feith Tony Addona will be switching his colors from purple to blue next season as the Université de Montreal made it official on Monday afternoon that the current Bishop’s University athletic director will be joining their coaching staff for next season as their new special teams coordinator and assistant defensive coach.Addona, who served as interim head coach for the Gaiters in the 2011 season, will be wrapping up his stint as athletic director with the university on January 31.Bishop’s is yet to announce who will be replacing him.Addona had announced that he would be stepping down back in early January, after holding the position since 2002.He often played a double role for the university as he both held the ath- letic director position and helped out the football coaching staff in different roles, being named interim head coach in both 2004 and 2011.His almost ten years of experience with Bishop’s and his 17 years of coaching the Champlain-Lennoxville Cougars prior to that will surely make a great impact on the Carabins, who finished third in the Quebec conference last season with a 6-3 record.“Tony is an experienced coach, a very good teacher who knows what has to be done to be successful and a very respected person in the football world.The knowledge he brings will be very helpful for our players,” said Carabins Head Coach Danny Macciocia in a statement.Bishop's AD Tony Addona will change his colours from purple to blue.PHOTO COURTESY OF BISHOP S UNIVERSITY Hockey tournament ongoing in Magog By Jesse Feith As reported last week in the record, the City of Magog is currently hosting the 39th annual National Atom- Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament - a 52-team youth hockey tournament spanning from January 16 to January 29.The first week of action came to an end this weekend with championship games taking place in the atom “A” and “B" divisions as well as the peewee “A” and “CC” divisions.In the peewee A division, it was the Metro Plouffe team from Sherbrooke who faced off against the Waterloo Maroons, who remained undefeated entering the finals, having won all three of their previous games.The Maroons’ dominant play continued in the final game, as they never let the Sherbrooke team into the contest, jumping out to a 3-0 lead in the first period with Christopher Royer, Mathew Viau and Mike Bour-going all picking up goals.The second period was a quieter one with both teams feeling each other out and no goals being scored, but the Maroons got right back to it in the third, scoring two goals in the first four minutes (Mathieu Labonté and Samuel Ducharme both scoring) putting the game out of reach.Antoine Laplante did pick up one late goal in the losing effort for the Metro Plouffe team.Individual division honors were given out after each final, and the Maroons’ Samuel Sirois took home the “Best Scorer” award while Carl Dubuc, also of the Maroons, won the “Best Goaltender” award.In the pee-wee “CC” division, the semi-finals sawThetford Mines A’s defeat the Windsor/Richmond Metro Brunelle team on one side of the bracket while the Bedffod/Farnham Huskies bested the Brossard/La Prairie Bulldogs by a score of 7-3 on the other side, setting up the final game.The first period of the final was a scoreless one, but the action picked up in the second as the Huskies scored early on a power play when Nicolas Racette received a pass from Tommy Labreque and scored only 28 seconds into the period.That goal lit a fire in the A’s however as they responded by scoring three of their own in the next five minutes to take a comfortable 3-1 lead into the third period.A power play goal by the A’s William Bisson was the nail in the coffin for the Huskies as they went up 4-1 and held on for the victory.As for the individual awards, the Richmond/Windsor Metro Brunelle team’s Tommy Pare won the “Best Scorer” award for the division while the Huskies’ Cedric Surprenant won the “Best Goal-tender” award.In the Atom “A” division, the Pawtucket Saints from Rhode Island earned their spot in the final by soundly defeating the Stanstead Border Jets 5-1.The final was less of a breeze however for the Saints, as they faced the St-lsidore Eagles, who were undefeated going into the game.A tightly played contest would end up taking overtime to solve, when the Eagles’ Maxime Desjardins finally found the back of the goal to earn his team the 1-0 win.Both teams were also well represented in the awards categories, as the Saints’ Luke Staples was named “Best Scorer" and the Eagles’ Jakob Robillard was named “Best Goaltender.” In the atom “B" division, the Stanstead Border Jets defeated the Magog Cantonniers in the semi-final to earn the right to face off against the Granby Eagles, where the Eagles won yet another tight final, defeating the Jets by a 2-1 score behind two goals from Jérémy Houle.As for the division’s awards, the Border Jets’ Kolby Bronson was awarded the “Best Scorer” prize while the Eagles’ Tommy Jodoin was named “Best Goal-tender.” The tournament’s other divisions will continue play this week, all of the action culminating next weekend at the Magog Arena with the remaining division championships.Lennoxville triumphs while action continues at the curling club LENNOXVILLE The host Lennoxville Curling Club used some good fortune and home ice as they triumphed in the Governor General’s Quebec Final on Saturday, January 21.The eight-man squad topped Ormstown in the final.As that event wrapped up, the curling club continued its busy winter schedule as the invitation mixed is currently taking place and runs through Saturday, January 28.By winning on Saturday Lennoxville earned the right to represent Quebec in the Governor General’s final on Saturday, February 11 in Ottawa at the Royal Navy Club.They will take on the Ottawa Valley Curling Association’s representative from the Navan Curling Club.Lennoxville’s team made up of Andrew Hatch (Huntingville), Marty Rourke (Huntingville), Ralph Rourke (Lennoxville), Jeff Bailes (Sherbrooke), Jeff Cheal (Johnville), Evan Mooney (Lennoxville), Matt McCrea (Lennoxville) and Chris Forsythe (Lennoxville) not only had home ice advantage but they were also drawn directly into the final, while Ormstown defeated Lachine in the semifinal held earlier in the day.As that event wrapped up on Saturday, the club prepared to host its invitational mixed.The mixed, as it is commonly known, started on Sunday, January 22 and will run until Saturday, January 28.There are 24 teams competing from clubs across the region.Lennoxville, Sherbrooke, Magog, Border, Danville and North Hatley all have teams looking to hoist the Cass or Hamilton trophies.This year a special touch has been added as Williams Recognition has created rings for the winners.“This was a great weekend for curling at our club,” said Mooney, who is also the club’s bonspiel chairman and is in charge of the mixed.“We were excited to win on Saturday especially with so many members coming to watch.It was special to have Doug MacDonald in attendance, as he played on the last Lennoxville team to win the Governor General’s in 1959.In turn, this week promises to be an excellent week of curling with many top mixed teams competing.We have games every night this week as well as all day Saturday.The finals are slated for 7 p.m.Saturday night.” The invitational mixed will wrap up on Saturday, January 28 but not before it is highlighted by a brunch at the curling
