Gameau, Gary Crandall, Sarah Hoblyn, Dr.Robert Paulette, (seated from left), Marion Standish, Bev Crandall, and Laurie Krai (standing in for her late mother, Margaret Paulette).Outstanding Townshippers honoured at 6th annual awards banquet By Joshua Bleser Orford rrihe superlatives were flying and the wine flowing as 100 people JL filled a banquet hall at Hôtel Chéribourg last Friday evening to honour and celebrate the recipients of the 6th annual Townshippers’ Association’s Outstanding Townshippers awards.This year’s awards went to Bev and Gary Crandall of Knowlton, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Garneau, C.D., of Sawyerville, Sarah Hoblyn of Georgeville, Dr.Robert Paulette and the late Margaret Paulette of Sherbrooke, and Marion Standish of Rougemont.The event was emceed by Malcolm Fraser, himself a recipient of an Outstanding Townshipper award in 2002.“Martin Luther King, a great volunteer, once said, ‘Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?’,” quoted Heather Bowman, president of Townshippers’ Association.“In the Townships, we see some remarkable answers to this question.” The individuals and couples recognized Friday evening share a commitment to volunteerism, a willingness to go beyond the call of duty, and modesty.Sarah Hoblyn relates that “When I got the call informing me that I was an Outstanding Townshipper, I thought it was a joke.” Sarah, a professional musician, singer and voice teacher, was recognized for her enormous impact on the cultural life of the Eastern Townships.She spearheaded the creation of the Georgeville Occasional Choir and has directed and worked with several other community choirs and theatre groups.She was especially recognized for her work with children.In her citation, Sonya Rocke praised Sarah for “making silk purses out of pigs’ ears” and “giving every child a chance to shine.” Bev and Gary Crandall, well-known for their work with Meals on Wheels, as volunteer directors of Cowansville’S Robinson Residence, and with “any volunteer organization that really needed their help,” echoed Hoblyn’s modesty.“When we got the news, we were surprised and got butterflies in our stomachs,” said Bev Crandall.“We feel so rewarded by the work that we do.We have fun doing it all.It’s all really very heart-warming.” The good vibes continued as Stuart Simms, executive director of the Wales Home, praised Marion Standish for her dedication, stamina, and concern for the Wales Home.Marion is helping the Wales Home in their application for accreditation.Describing her as “a wonderful person”, Simms says, “I can’t imagine being able to do what we do without her.” A retired nurse, Marion is also the chairperson of Townshippers’ Association’s Steering Committee for the Partners for Health & Social Services, a committee member for the Agence de Développement de Reseaux Locaux de Santé et Services Sociaux de la Mon-térégie, and the Secretary-Treasurer of the Courville Gerontology Foundation.On top of all this, Marion is involved with several local churches.Lieutenant Colonel Jack R.Garneau, recipient of the Queen’s Jubilee Medal in 2002, was touched by the event.Lt.Col.Garneau was recognized for his years of service with the Sherbrooke Hussars (the only certified bilingual Armed Forces unit in Quebec), as a health and social services representative, as a municipal councillor, and as a teacher, principal and vice-principal for the Eastern Townships School Board.“Lookingback in life, there are many highlights, but this is one moment I will always remember,” he said.The evening closed with a touching tribute to Dr.Robert Paulette and his late wife Margaret, who passed away last February.Dr.Paulette worked at the Sherbrooke Hospital for 35 years - including 21 years as chief surgeon - until its closing in 1996.His dedication and his love of all his patients were highlighted.Dr.Paulette has also been very involved with Grace Chapel and has served as a member of the board of directors of Frontier Lodge Christian Youth Camp.Susan Black, a family friend and a former student of Dr.Paulette’s, remarked that “just having him around is a tremendous gift.” Margaret Paulette was a much loved member of the community.She was chairperson of the Frontier Lodge Christian Youth Camp, president of the Women’s Missionary Fellowship of Grace Chapel, president of the Sherbrooke Hospital Ladies Auxiliary, on the board of directors of Maplemount Homes for Underprivileged Children, and a member of the board of directors of the Sherbrooke Symphony Orchestra.Margaret, affectionately known as “Madge”, also served on the Committee of Corporation of Bishop’s University, and as Chairperson of the Eastern Townships School Board from 1982 to 1997.Susan Black recalls her “Tuesdays with Madge” during the last months of Mrs.Paulette’s wife, noting the latter’s courage, strength, joie de vivre, and incredible sense of humour.The Paulettes’ daughter, Laurie Krai, said that although her mother was not born in the Townships, “she was the proudest Townshipper I’ve known.” In his acceptance speech, Dr.Paulette exemplified the selflessness and dedication to the Eastern Townships’ communities that characterize all the Outstanding Townshippers.Calling the Eastern Townships a “a very special part of North America,” Paulette ended with a modest acknowledgement and a challenge to fellow Townshippers: “If you’ve been given a great privilege on the basis of your decisions.if you keep everything to yourself and don’t give it to other people, what good is all this talent and opportunity?” Weather Today: Cloudy.30 per cent chance of showers.Winds becoming west 30 km/h late in the morning.High 24.Wednesday: Sunny.Low 7.High

Legault Sherbrooke A month and a half after ACI Tele-centrics closed its call centre in Sherbrooke with no advance warning, the American company has still not received any demands to pay what it owes local workers and Quebec taxpayers.The Minnesota-based telemarketing company has paid workers for their last week of work and their four per cent vacation pay, but so far has refused to pay its employees the 12 weeks of severance pay required by Quebec law.Because ACI had more than 100 employees in Sherbrooke at the time it closed, Quebec’s Act respecting labour standards and regulations requires that it give workers and the government 12 weeks notice of a permanent shutdown.In lieu of notice, it must now pay them in cash.Since April 25, the regional office of Quebec’s labour standards commission, better known as the Commission des normes du travail, has received com- Brief Perrault acclaimed V-P Staff Sherbrooke Mayor Jean Perrault was acclaimed as third vice-president of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities yesterday at the group’s annual conference in St.John’s, Newfoundland.Municipal leaders unanimously endorsed Mayor Michael Coleman of Duncan, B.C.as the new president of the municipal federation.Coleman, the former first vice-president, has been an active member of the organization for several years, particularly with FCM’s international programs.Guelph Councillor Gloria Kovach was acclaimed as first vice-president and Winnipeg Councillor Gord Steeves was acclaimed as second vice-president.Perrault has been involved in the FCM since 1998 when he became a member of the Quebec caucus.In 2001, he became president of the provincial delegation and joined the executive committee of the FCM.More recently, Perrault was involved in the federation’s fight to get a share of the federal gas tax that was promised by Prime Minister Paul Martin during the federal election campaign as part of his so-called new deal for cities and communities.FILE PHOTO ACI call centre in Sherbrooke packed up and left without giving the required 12 weeks notice.plaints from some 120 former ACI workers, said regional manager Suzanne Beauvais.She said that confirms workers would be owed 12 weeks pay in lieu of notice for the collective dismissal.Beauvais said the commission has completed its investigation on about half those cases, but there is significant paperwork missing on the remaining half.That means it could take a few more months before the investigation is completed and a formal legal notice is sent to ACI demanding payment.Beauvais said the case is complicated because the company pulled out without filing a list of current employees with the provincial labour ministry.Because of the missing paperwork and the complexity of the case, one investigator is working on the ACI file almost full time.Beauvais said the commission must complete a full investigation of all of the claims before sending a demand for payment to ACI.“We can’t do this one claim at a time,” she said, noting the commission wants to ensure it has all of its facts straight in case the matter ends up before the courts.“This won’t be easy, but we are doing our utmost to ensure workers get their due,” she said.Beauvais estimated the global claim against ACI would amount to about $400,000 - the equivalent of 12 weeks pay for some 120 workers.Claims are based on the last week of work and workers, who had been making about $10 an hour, received a 20 per cent pay cut in February a few months before the shutdown.It’s not too late for former ACI workers to file a complaint.Former employees, even those who were laid off before the shutdown in April, should contact the commission to determine if they have the right to severance pay.Meanwhile ACI workers aren’t the only ones seeking money from the telemarketer.Taxpayers are also owed a whopping sum for job creation promises that were not kept.When ACI sudden-j\ ly pulled the plug onK * /\ its switchboards, it was already facing"!*^ claims from In-K • a vestissement Québed/#\J for the return of taxpayers’ subsidies it has received for the creation and mainh nance of jobs here i: Sherbrooke as well as in centres in the Montreal suburb of Vau-, dreuil and Caplan o: the Gaspé coast.AC closed the Caplan call centre in April and the Vaudreuil centre in June of 2003.Josée Béland, a spokeswoman for Investissement Québec said the granting agency has handed the file over to an outside legal expert to determine what ACI owes taxpayers.She said they are awaiting a report from the lawyers within the next two weeks.Béland said that before ACI suddenly shut down, Investissement Québec had already sent a formal notice reclaiming part of the job creation grants the telemarketing company had received.But now that the company has pulled out of Quebec, those claims will likely increase.“The claims were based on the principle that there were still existing jobs,” she said, noting that grants were based on the number of jobs created and maintained for at least two years.“Because the company no longer exists in Quebec, we are proceeding differently.” Béland said that the granting agency had approved grants totalling $3.9 million for Sherbrooke and that some $3.4 million had been paid out.Before the shutdown, it had been demanding repayment of $1.1 million of that money.“That will likely increase since the jobs were not maintained,” she added.In Caplan, Investissement Quebec has authorized a total of some $2.8 million of which ACI had already received $900.000.Before the shutdown there, the government agency was demanding repayment of some $200,000.In Vaudreuil, where the call centre closed within the first two years of operation.Investissement Québec agreed to grant them up to $4.5 million.When it closed, it had already spent $2.5 million.0 7* K y7 o Visit RECORD booth ** FRIENDSHIP DAY St.Antoine School Lennoxville JUNE 11th 3 months
