* • * • » m m * m 4» By Doug McCooeye On Thursday, representatives from Nova Envirocom.an environmental and composting company based in Sherbrooke, and Intégrale-Environnement, a distributor in France, signed an agreement that will allow Nova Envirocom’s domestic composting program to expand overseas.Founded in 1995 by Pierre Morency, Nova offers an array of environmentally conscious products and services.Products include bins, urban recycling products, compostable dishware, aerators and compostable bags.They also boast the most comprehensive domestic composting program in Quebec, servicing between 120 and 150 new homes per year.In 2009, the company has over 30 composting trainers, with some 800 municipalities having benefited from their training."We are proud to be in this collabora- tion with Intégrale-Environment," said Morency to the crowd assembled, which included Intégrale’s President Christophe Machard.“We are responding to a demand and are very excited to be expanding in to the French market.” Details of the agreement will include the distribution of Nova Envirocom’s composting guide "Le Compostage Facilité” (Composting Made Easy) as well as a series of composting conferences throughout France over the next three years.Envirocom will also help in the coordination of programs to help support Intégrale in their various implementation steps.In 2004, Recyc-Quebec funded a survey to determine the effectiveness of Nova’s composting training.The results showed that 80 percent of people who received training from the company still use their compost bins and, what’s more, 65 percent use it in the wintertime; one of the best performance’s in the entire composting industry.“I don’t know if 9HHH m f 05 10 16 24 I 19 32 4Z Bonus Draw results: 2009-11-25 6/6 Winners 0 Prizes $11,270,259.00 6/6 5/6+B 3 $94,929,40 5/6+B 5/6 118 $1,993.70 5/6 4/6 7,888 $56.50 4/6 3/6 136,064 $10.00 3/6 2/6+b 96,894 $5.00 2/6+B Total sales ;

Rain will overspread the area on Friday and late Friday night cold air will filter into the system and start to change precipitation over to snow.Areas to the North and west of Sher- brooke and areas over 300m in elevation will see enough snow covering the ground.Very windy conditions on Saturday will create ideal set-up for ups-lope snow flurries.These are the famous Eastern Township’s mountain snows.Up to 15cm could fall in the favoured areas while the valleys, close to the lakes, might only see a trace.Looking ahead over the next 14 days, the trend will continue to be colder than normal.There will be brief warmups, especially if some of the storms tracking up from the south-west, move to our west.This will create the famous snow to freezing rain/ rain and back to snow scenarios.Looking at analogous years, climato-logically, 1963-64 and 02-03 come to mind.These years experienced warm Novembers followed by very cold and snowy Decembers.This just might be a December to remember!

The number of H1N1 flu cases is “levelling off’in some parts of the country but the peak of the second wave of the pandemic has not been reached yet and Canadians should not become complacent, federal officials said Wednesday.Federal Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq and Chief Public Health Officer Dr.David Butler-Jones reported in a news briefing that fewer positive flu tests and fewer outbreaks in schools were reported by the provinces and territories in the past week, two key indicators used to monitor the pandemic.While the numbers are lower, they are still well above normal for this time of year.In the last few weeks, for example, the rate of people who sought medical attention for flu-like symptoms was four to seven times higher than usual.“In reaching the plateau of the second wave in some communities, it does not mean the pandemic is over.There is still the other side of the peak and there remain millions of infections to be prevented,” said Butler-Jones.British Columbia entered its second wave of the pandemic sooner than other provinces and while it is still reporting a high number of hospitalizations, it was lower in the past week than in the week before.The northern territories are close to completing their immunization programs and Butler-Jones said the high vaccine uptake has had a “profound effect”on the number of cases there.Regardless of flu activity going down in a community, people should still get vaccinated, Butler-Jones emphasized.By the end of this week about 15 million doses will have been shipped to the provinces and many jurisdictions are now immunizing the general population, not just high-priority groups.“Even after a large second wave many people will not still have been infected, they will remain susceptible to the virus, making following waves possible,” he said.Butler-Jones said the dip in numbers could just be temporary and the rates could go back up again.Time will still have to tell if the decrease of flu activity in some places will appear elsewhere in the country and Canada can say it reached the peak of the second wave, said Butler-Jones: He estimated that five to 10 per cent of the population has already been infected with the H1N1 virus and that about 25 per cent have been immunized.The latest data reported by the Public Health Agency of Canada on Tuesday indicate that 279 deaths have been linked to thé H1N1 virus. page 4 Friday, November 27, 2009 ; - ¦THE »u.- RECORD Flu Clinic to Close By Corrinna Pole Last week Sherbrooke’s temporary flu clinic announced they would reduce their hours due to a decline in attendance.Once again the flu clinic, which is based at the D’Youville Hospital and Residential Centre (1036 Belvedere Street South), is reporting a significant decline of patients over the last ten days and will close the clinic at 16 h 30 today.When it first opened on November 6 to absorb some of the strain on hospital emergency rooms, more then 200 people a day visited the clinic with flu like symptoms.That number has since decreased to less than 75 clients a day.To date approximately 3,000 people have visited the clinic.In a French language press release Dr.Suzanne Gosselin, the director of professional services and medical partnership CSSS-IUGS, stated the decision to close the clinic was made jointly by medical authorities after assessing the impact of the closure on emergency medical clinics.If the need arises the flu clinic will be reopened.For now Individuals experiencing influenza symptoms are encouraged to refer to the decision guide in the Self-Care Guide before coming to their regular clinic without an appointment or if required, to a CHUS emergency room.Don’t let the nice weather fool you COURTESY - ISSU : v •, .-, Wmi&Mzt'1 Pi; '1 fsmrr# Local mechanics are concerned that people may not be getting their winter tires soon enough By Doug McCooeye Some area garage owners are worried that people are waiting for the first snowfall to put on their winter tires.Michel Rémy of Oto-shop in Sherbrooke thinks that people should be looking ahead instead of waiting.“They should be making their appointments starting now,” he said in a recent radio interview, citing the law that requires people to have their winter tires on by Decemeber 15th.“We are worried that we won’t be able to handle the demand if everyone asks for their tires to be changed at the last minute.” Rémy claims that his garage has seen a 75 percent decrease in tire changes from this time last year.On the other hand, Murray Ward, co-owner of Ward’s garage in Lennoxville, disagrees.“I haven’t noticed much difference from this time last year,” said Ward in an interview with The Record.“People seem to be pretty good about getting their cars into us well before the cutoff date.We’ve been just as busy this year as we were last year.” Garage owners aren’t the only ones looking ahead to the first snowfall.On Wednesday, Quebec’s Transport Ministry, in collaboration with Le Contrôle routier and the Sûreté du Québec (SQ), held a demonstration near autoroute 10-55 to discuss winter-driving safety.The purpose of the operation was to sensitize people to the perils of driving when it is icy, particularly when near snow-removal vehicles.Every year the SQ_ deals with numerous accidents involving slower-moving road maintenance vehicles and impatient drivers.People tend to get restless when caught behind a snow-removal vehicle and make poor decisions on the road.It is important to understand that to ensure effective snow removal, the drivers of those vehicles tend not to exceed 50 km/hr.Representatives from all three groups stressed the importance of being cautious when dealing with the unpredictable road conditions that winter brings.Ær t -* Centre de santé et de services sociaux -Institut universitaire de gériatrie de Sherbrooke Htidllli and Sutidl Su vices Centic University Institute ot Geriatrics of Sherbrooke PANDÉMIE INFLUENZA Granola bars recalled over salmonella fears Notice to All Sherbrooke Residents Beginning at 4:30 p.m.Today Friday, November 27, 2009 The Sherbrooke Influenza Clinic Will Be Suspending Its Activities If you have influenza symptoms and are concerned about your health, please consult the Decision Chart of the Influenza A (H1N1) Self-care guide beforehand.Influenza (flu) symptoms include: Fever (more than 38°C or 100.4°F), ¦ Muscle pains, ¦ Coughing, ¦ Intense fatigue.If you must consult a physician for your flu symptoms, please visit one of our regular clinics or one of the emergency rooms of the CHUS.www.csss-iugs.ca Canwest News Service OTTAWA - The Canadian Food Inspection Agency issued a warning Thursday over a granola bar distributed through a popular dieting program.The CFIA said the Canadian version of Nutrisystem brand peanut butter granola bars could contain salmonella bacteria and, along with Nutrisystem Canada, is advising the public not to eat the product.The company has voluntar- ily recalled the product.The bars, which are manufactured in the U.S., are sold in 40-gram packages.The affected product has UPC code 6 32674 37016 7 and lot code TC05219B.No illnesses have been reported in relation to the potentially contaminated product.The bars are only sold through Nu-trisystem's website, the Shopping Channel and a distribution phone line.Envirocom goes overseas Cont’d from Page 2 During the same press conference, Intégrale’s President took the opportunity to announce an agreement that his other company, Roissy Enterprises, and the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce would be signing.Roissy is a grouping of businesses in the region around the international airport in Paris-Roissy, France.A number of prominent Sherbrooke personalities were on hand to witness the signing of the two agreements, including Sherbrook.e Mayor Bernard Sévigny and Pierre Bélanger, Director General of Innovation et Development économique Sherbrooke (IDES).“(We) are proud to have contributed to the European expansion of Nova Envirocom,” said Bélanger of IDES’ involvement.“Their expansion in France is proof of the potential of Sherbrooke businesses internationally and can only encourage us to continue our effort to support this type of development.” To respond to demand, Mornecy announced that Nova Envirocom would also be publishing another 10,000 copies for distribution in Quebec.To date, the company has published some 30,000 copies, far and away the most published’ domestic composting guide in the province. RECORD Friday, November 27, 2009 page 5 Columnist Because good things snowball too In times of distress, its especially important to think positive, as you may just discover that you weren’t actually as bad off as you thought.In the Townships, local happenings may prove to confirm this.The subjects of distress: H1N1 and a recession, but really, when you think about it, Swine Flu is possibly the best thing that could have happened to us.The economy is down.We aren’t buying as much, as we apparently have “less” money.With less people buying, less jobs are needed, and it creates a vicious vortex.A vortex, because a circle does not fit the profile: vortexes spiral downwards until nothing is left, circles.not so much.“There’s nothing like a war to end a depression!” I was once taught, and it’s quite true.During World War Two, a massive amount of jobs were created.Anybody who was without work could either go to war, or serve their country by working in a factory making supplies.The point is, everyone had a job, and by the time the war was over, people were no longer dirt poor and the Great Depression was gone too! Because of the sharp rise in standards of living, a baby boom occurred, which today is plaguing us with the reality of an aging population.Today’s war is microscopic in comparison, but a war it is, a war against germs.In modern warfare, weapons are a must, and today’s arm of choice is.(drumroll) the hand sanitiser! Did you know that hand sanitiser is being produced locally?At Knowlton Packaging to be precise, one of the biggest employers in the area.This means that every time we disinfect our hands, we are protecting our way of life, in more ways than one.As an added bonus, once the sales of hand sani-tisers single-handedly boosts our economy, and the Swine Flu paranoia is over, we should have a mini baby boom! Combine this with the current teacher shortages, and you have great news, especially if you want to teach! The very nature of the teacher shortage could potentially make it last forever.To make more people want to teach, you pay teachers higher wages.This in turn makes teachers richer, and more likely to spend, thus boosting the economy further and sustaining the current baby boom.Because the teacher’s standard of living has increased, more teachers will become pregnant, thus creating more shortages, both short term because of the pregnancies, and long term because of the resulting children.In an attempt to counter this, teachers will be paid even more, and so on.This will continue in a seemingly endless cycle until all the money in the world is in the hands of teachers, and because they are smart, educated people, they will, with their wisdom, compassion, and selflessness which by far surpasses that of the politicians, along with their combined power, create a plan for a utopian society that will actually work, and we'll all live happily ever after.No, there has never been a better time to be a teacher!

November 20th, at approximately one o’clock in the afternoon under clear skies and ideal driving conditions, someone driving on Dufferin Street murdered our cat in a horrendous hit-and-run incident.There are two extremes that shock and amaze me about the human condition.One is the heinous way my poor little cat, just fourteen months old and only eight pounds, was brutally hit and left to die by the side of the road like a piece of garbage.Dufferin is a wide street, but witnesses recall the car swerved to intentionally hit our sweet little angel.Sadly, my poor pet was not dead.It would almost be more humane had the impact killed him instantly.Instead, he was left to suffer, conscious, terrified and in what I can only image would be an extreme amount of pain and shock.I do not know how people, like that driver, sleep at night, as 1 know we, the distraught parents, won’t be.How does someone do this to a defenceless, harmless little animal and look them self in the mirror?They should be ashamed.What kind of morals, judgement and values do we govern ourselves by?It appals me to think that there is someone out there heartless enough to do this.We hope they realize the devastating, irreversible impact they have had on so many lives.Words cannot describe our anguish and disgust at this senseless act.On the other hand, is the compassion, caring and kindness of some local citizens who saw our little friend and came to his res- cue.They called the SPAE to help and, at the very least, relieve our cat of his suffering.We are so very thankful and grateful to you.Their thoughtfulness and actions both comfort and soothe our sorrows.It makes us feel so much better that somebody did something.At least, we hold onto the fact that the smallest member of our family was taken care of when he needed it most and not left to die on the side of the road alone.Thank you to the SPAE for your quick response.Your professionalism and tremendous efforts comfort us more than you can know.My final concern is for public safety.It is not uncommon to see excessive speeds on this smalltown road filled with children, seniors, adults, schools, cyclists, and animals.Too often and for too long, I have seen cars accelerating past crosswalks and driving hazardously.The little light in our life has been extinguished, but perhaps this message will help someone else.I wish people would take more care, drive with prudence and realize how much their choices affect all our lives.Crystal Rattai Stanstead ¦ THE ¦¦¦¦ RECORD P.0.Box 1200 SberbrookeJIH 516 or 1195 Galt L

addresses to The Record, 1195 Galt East, Sherbrooke.QC JIG 1Y7 Member ABC, CARD, CNA, QCNA Editorial Unitl The Next Time After more than a year of captivity, Canadian free lance journalist Amanda Lidhout and her Australian photographer have been freed by their Somali kidnappers and are on their way home.This is, of course, extremely good news, considering the alternatives, but the 15-month ordeal was the stuff of nightmares.And was coloured by beatings and torture.Somalia is perhaps the most dangerous place in the world.It has no government to speak of (although there is one we must speak to) and, after years of war, starvation genocide and piracy, it is a vast lawless strategically important peice of real estate.In the last three decades, Somalia has experienced virtually every kind of government imaginable, from Marxist to Islamist to tribal warlords and none has seemed able to create even the semblance of statehood, which implies a functioning government with enforceable control over its territory.The current Somali government does not fit that bill.Instead, Somalia has degenerated into a collection of numerous tribal and religious alliances, alongside numerous bands of bandits and pirates who use the country as a safe haven.Kidnapping of foreigners and the hijacking of commercial shipping are becoming the nation’s two biggest industries.While one is full of wonder and admiration for those who willingly place their lives and security in danger for journalism or relief work, one is almost as impressed with the sheer foolishness of it all.Somalia is not a place where sane people should spend any time at all unless they have to and it is hard to imagine such risk-taking to produce any news that’s commensurate with it.As a freelancer, Lindhout was even more vulnerable, having no major publication covering her back, a fact that probably contributed to the length of her captivity.Kidnappings in Somalia are about money, regardless of the political or religious grandstanding of the kidnappers and, in recent years, prisoners are released when the money is paid and not when it isn’t.After all, these aren’t fly-by-night operations, but rather established groups taking advantage of a lengthy police holiday and they are aware that to be effective demanders of ransoms, they must offer something in return - their captives.Most Western governments long ago warned their citizens to stay out of Somalia in much the same manner as they tell us not to lean aluminum ladders against high-tension wires - some people need to be told the obvious.Nevertheless, journalists and aid workers continue to risk their lives.This makes sense if one is desirous of martyrdom, not so much if all you want is a news story.Prime Minister Stephen Harper was quick to announce his pleasure at the release of the captives, who were tortured, beaten and otherwise abused during their ordeal, but he was quick to re-iterate that Somalia is a dangerous place and you go there at your own risk - in other words, when the inevitable happens all you’ll hear from us is “we told you so.” Given the current government’s abhorrence of doing anything to assist Canadians who get into trouble outside the country (equal treatment to those living inside), do-gooders, the curious and those who yearn to travel from covering the news to being the news, should all take note.The Canadian government cannot, and most probably would not, do anything to assist you.And in this case, they have a point.It is highly likely, though it has not been confirmed, that Lind-hout’s family, friends and community paid to have her released.It is also highly likely that our government quietly assisted in this., and that is that until the next time.Because there will be a next time.Every individual has the right to determine for him or herself what they are willing to risk their lives for, but nobody else should be responsible for dealing with the consequences.For these latest victims, we’re glad your free and safe.Now smarten up!

Because of your cooperative attitude, associates will be extremely supportive of causes or issues you espouse.Once you receive their cooperation, continue to be proactive.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) -Whenever you let your heart rule your head in dealings with friends, everyone benefits.If you want to win over someone in particular, take that road.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Without asking for help, friends will be looking out for your interests.In fact, something quite pleasant is likely to develop for you all because of their caring intervention.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Properly employed, both your charm and wit could prove to be your best assets in helping you outdistance the competition.Continue to be friendly, gracious and thoughtful to everyone.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — If you can, devote some time to intellectual pursuits.You need to exercise your mental capacity in ways that will view the world from a more constructive perspective.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Your friends are appreciative because you never comment about their faults, only their virtues.By doing so, you uplift their spirits in ways that propel them forward.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Developing a productive partnership will help tremendously because doing things in unison with a prolific ally accomplishes goals that you couldn’t pursue alone.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Your generous offer to serve someone in need will encourage that person to want to do something nice in return, even though it isn’t likely to be the reason that you are being so helpful.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Let your needs be known because a social contact who hears about it might offer to open a door that you have been unable to crack.You have friends everywhere.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — Use the soft sell if there is something important that you’re hoping to market to another.If he or she responds, be sincere about doing your best to make a good arrangement for everyone’s benefit.-LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Owing to the good intentions and integrity of both you and another, any agreement into which you enter at this time has a good chance of working out well for everyone concerned.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) -

Put on your thinking cap, and let it start working in ways that could add to your resources and holdings.Financial conditions look especially bright right now.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — Adopting a positive attitude could be far more valuable than usual, because what you envision has an excellent chance of becoming reality.Amaze yourself, your family and friends with your good luck.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — Much to your delight, a negative situation could suddenly shift toward something that provides a unique advantage for you and anyone else tagging along.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — You’re inclined to favor a group situation rather than hanging out with just one friend.Not that you wouldn’t have a good time; it’s just that you would rather be part of a gathering.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Delegate as much time as possible to engaging in something that’s significant to you.Lady Luck favors meaningful projects or events.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) - Owing to your expansive perspective on life, anything of a mental nature could turn out to be rewarding for you.Broaden your world, so you can expand your views.CANCER (jjune 21-July 22) — Traditional activities may hold less of a punch than would a brand-new involvement.If you have an opportunity to try your hand at a fresh pursuit, do so.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — Because everyone will be enthusiastic about partaking in a joint endeavor, it should turn out to be not only exciting and dynamic but a great success.Don’t hesitate to be part of it.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) — What you may have thought was a liability could turn around and transform itself into something quite beneficial.Keep all your options open.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Someone you haven’t seen for a while might make a happy appearance.Although this person may not hang around as long as you would like, you’ll get to spend some quality time together.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) - Get out and go shopping if you can because that unique but useful and hard-to-find item is out there just waiting for you to stumble across.It can happen.Sunday, Nov.29, 2009 The development of earnings from more than one source is a strong possibility in the year ahead.Something you begin as a small side endeavor could gradually grow and turn out to be the tail that wags the dog.SAGITTARIUS (Nov.23-Dec.21) -After listening to the input of others, follow your instincts and good judgment about handing something important to you.That way, only you will be responsible for its outcome.CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan.19) - Because by nature you are protective of loved ones, without hesitation, you’ll go to bat for someone near and dear who needs help.It’ll be greatly appreciated.AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb.19) — It is not always obvious to others, but you are endowed with tremendous strength of mind and determination.These two assets might come into play when pressure mounts and they are called for.PISCES (Feb.20-March 20) — The two most powerful factors that contribute to personal success are your optimistic nature and belief in yourself.All you have to do is put them to work in order to let your dreams unfold.ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Don’t kid yourself into believing situations that call for a financial risk could yield big bucks — that would be one chance in a million.However, you can earn your way to the top.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — A complaining friend might be difficult for most to handle, but not you.You’ll know how to say all the right things to calm this person’s troubled head and actually get him or her laughing again.GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — This might turn out to be a day of reciprocation, with several friends finding nice things to do for you in repayment of past favors.It’s simply your time.CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Getting involved with friends or family could make this an extremely pleasant day.Don’t be a loner, because there’s no greater joy than spending time with nice people.LEO (July 23-Aug.22) — All it will take to overcome some barriers and obstacles is to be strongly motivated to do so.Once you set your mind to it, what you accomplish could be rather remarkable.VIRGO (Aug.23-Sept.22) - It isn’t always your nature to enjoy competitive situations, but that’s exactly what will prove to stimulate your senses.Get involved in something such as a good chess game or a challenging tennis match.LIBRA (Sept.23-Oct.23) — Because of your efforts, new life will enter into an endeavor that everyone else has written off.This shift will produce numerous advantages that otherwise never would have happened.SCORPIO (Oct.24-Nov.22) — Rarely are you wishy-washy about how to deal with others, and this day will be no different.When called for, you will make your position clear and unabashedly present it without fanfare.
